We live in the era of technology, where almost every business keeps a computerized database of stocks, clients and other valuable information. This is why finding a suitable backup solution has never been more important and cloud backup services are getting more and more popular, as business owners start to realize all the advantages that this solution can offer them. But how has this backup method revolutionized businesses?
Before cloud backup, most businesses stored their information on various hardware, meaning that workers did not have access to the information they needed at all times. For instance, when storing something on an office computer, someone would not be able to access the data from their home office or even from a different country, which became increasingly important for those who traveled a lot for business purposes and needed access to their company information in real time. In addition, any necessary update would have to be done manually and thus a lot of time was wasted. Cloud backup has made things incredibly easier, by allowing everyone access to the stored information in real time, from anywhere in the world!
When dealing with a professional cloud storage supplier, the information in your data base will be regularly updated, at intervals set by the user, meaning that companies no longer have to worry that their information will not be properly updated, because the entire process will be automated. Computer files will be automatically updated and stored in the cloud system, safely from any potential problems.
No matter how safe a piece of hardware might be advertised, the fact is that anything is susceptible to accidents and thus loss of data. A computer can get stolen or damaged by viruses or even outside factors such as electrical power outs, earthquakes, floods and so on. However, cloud storage has made everything considerably easier, because essentially the entire information is stored outside the computer and can be accessed regardless of what may happen to one computer or the entire system for that matter. All large companies have chosen to store their information in this manner and even small businesses could benefit from the safety offered by this type of system.
Cost effective
Large companies would often need to invest important amounts of money in order to buy the hardware they would need to store their entire database. However, cloud backup can be considerably cheaper, not to mention come with the rest of the advantages mentioned above. This backup method has really changed the way many companies store their information and has enabled them to make their businesses more profitable and ultimately more efficient.
All in all, cloud storage is a very effective method of data storage that has revolutionized the way many companies store their information. The accessibility, affordability and safety provided by this system has brought a true revolution in the data storage system and has enabled many companies to access their information faster and be more flexible when it comes to their databases.

Things haven't exactly been easy for Simon Lewis over the course of Shadowhunters. Becoming a vampire might not be something on most people's future goals list, but unfortunately that's what poor Simon has had to deal with since the second half of Season 1.
So far in Season 2, Simon's story has very much been about the young vampire coming to terms with his strange new reality, an especially difficult task given that he can't really live with his family, or his Shadowhunter friends. So what can we expect for Simon's journey in Season 2? Actor Alberto Rosende recently spoke to Movie Pilot about just that, and thankfully for Simon fans it all seems rather hopeful.
As Season 2 began, Simon was in an odd position. Despite offering his support to Clary through most of #Shadowhunters Season 1, after becoming a vampire he found himself sort of isolated from the group. Rosende told Movie Pilot:
"The vampires don't want him, he can't really hang out with werewolves — because werewolves don't like vampires as we saw in Episode 1 of the season. So he's kind of left to his own devices to kind of figure out where he can be."
But as hard as it's been for Simon, it looks like being left to figure out his place in this strange new world might result in some new and very interesting friendships, including one with new character Maia. Rosende said:
"He's kind of creating a new support system, Clary's very busy with all the Shadowhunter things and Simon kind of has to learn to lean on himself a little bit more. So we seen him handle his own journey, deal with the things he's always been dealing with; being in love with Clary, these new characters that are coming in like Maia - we'll see what happens there - but, I'm very excited for Simon. Constant growth, and constantly trying to look up in the face all odds."

- 'Shadowhunters' Season 2 Episode 5: Clary's Finally Drawing Ancient Runes & Simon Tells His Mom He's A Vampire!
While Simon might not always be able to turn to the Shadowhunters for help, and the vampires don't really seem to be on his side, thankfully he has found an ally in Magnus, the high warlock of Brooklyn. Rosende explained:
"[Magnus] is the most knowledgeable character we have of the Downworld, he's been alive for 700 - 800 years so he truly knows the differences between the cultures of werewolves and the culture of vampires. One of the most important things that you saw is that Magnus started a little spark in Simon in Episode 2 when they go to India together and Magnus goes 'Simon what are you afraid of, you're a vampire! Time for you to man up' and I think there are those little things that Magnus does that are very blunt and can be a little mean, but at the same time be like 'yeah that's actually true, I'm kind of a bad ass creature now, I need to kind of own that and find his confidence'"
But although Simon might need to gain confidence in being a vampire, Rosende thinks that Simon's sense of confidence in himself is the reason why fans have been so drawn to him, and he even likens the characters to his own best friend, James. Rosende says:
"... You only really have to be cool for yourself to be cool, that's the thing about it, and I think Simon is aware of that. He's very excited about the things he's excited about and he doesn't let other people influence that. I think that honesty to ones self kind of draws people into him. But at the same time, he's a very open person, he's a very caring person, and someone that I think you can definitely trust and it's not like you ever doubt it. He's gonna be there if you call him because Simon's proven himself to be that guy that if you call him he's gonna be there. He reminds me a lot of my best friend James, and my best friend James is like that, if you need him he will go through hell and high water to get there for you, and I think that's really something that people are drawn to."

Overview | Ingredients | Advantages | Disadvantages | Buy Revitol Eye Cream
Okay gals, let's just say a good eye cream can be a b**** to find. Am I right?
Unfortunately we have to start this article off by saying Revitol Eye Cream isn't what you're looking for in terms of treating eye problems like: dark circles, wrinkles, fine lines and puffy eyes.
Let's talk about why this is one of the worst eye creams available on the market.
What Is It?
Revitol's line covers pretty much every factor of skin care and this is their eye cream that they claim helps to resolve most issues around the eyes.
The problem is, when you take a closer look at their list of ingredients, it's clear to see that the only thing this cream might be used for is to be a skin conditioner to help supply more moisture.
As far as helping to resolve problems like fine lines and wrinkles or dark circles, we find it hard to imagine this cream can do much at all.
We're not going to lie, most girls who have given this product a try have seen very little positive effects on their under eye issues. In fact most girls who we talk to have said that it caused their skin to become oily after multiple applications.
Why It's HOT!
Seriously, there's not a lot of positives when it comes to Revitol Eye Cream. The only thing we can say is that it's kinda cheap, but the results you get from it are comparable to that of any $5 moisturizer, so for $39.95, you're still getting a bad deal.
Why It's NOT!
Where to begin. There are a number of disadvantages which you can check out in more depth here, but the biggest problem with this cream is that it does absolutely nothing to resolve the 3 main eye issues:
- Doesn't help resolve fine lines and wrinkles.
- Doesn't reduce dark circles.
- No effect on puffiness below the eyes.
All in all it's not the greatest under eye treatment available on the market today.
Skin Score!
It's our job to give you guys the know-how when it comes to deciding on the best treatment option for you. As far as an effective eye cream goes, Revitol have done a poor job with their product and all you need to do is check out some online reviews to confirm this.
It's not the worst cream on the market, that one is taken by Dermology Eye Cream which we believe to be a subsidiary to Revitol. Still with that said, we cannot recommend Revitol's eye cream to any of our readers.

Supreme Court rules on Voting Rights ActFiled under: Comment nowRemedies
Tags: Civil rights, Racial discrimination, U.S. Supreme Court, Voting Rights Act
In a split decision, the U.S. Supreme Court today limited an important protection provided by federal voting rights law, ruling that election districts benefiting racial minorities are only protected if the minority in question comprises a majority of the entire voting-age population of the district.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965, a key piece of federal civil rights legislation,contains an "anti-dilution" provision in section 2 which protects legislative districts formed to benefit racial minorities. This is justified as a remedy for groups which have less opportunity than others to participate in the electoral process and to elect their preferred candidates.
At issue was a proposed election district in North Carolina in which blacks would make up 39% of the voting-age population. This was intended to be a "cross-over" district, in which black voters would be able to elect their preferred candidates with support from some white voters. Local officials, defending the district against a claim that it violated the state's constitution, argued that the creation of the district was required as a remedy under the anti-dilution provision.
Only three of the Court's nine justices agreed with the majority opinion, written by Justice Kennedy, which held that the Voting Rights Act protects the right of racial minorities to elect their preferred candidates, not to form coalitions to elect compromise candidates. The other two votes came from justices who argued that remedies for vote dilution are inappropriate under any circumstances, and therefore agreed only with the result.
The broader issue at stake in Bartlett v. Strickland was how minority voting rights should be protected without encouraging racially polarized voting, in an age in which blacks and other racial minorities are playing increasingly prominent roles in state and national politics. This debate, in turn, echoes the present conversation in American public life about whether Barack Obama's election, and other developments on race, have fundamentally changed the problem of race in the U.S., or have even moved us into a "post-racial" environment.
On this broader issue, Justice Kennedy wrote that, "Racial discrimination and racially polarized voting are not ancient history." However, he said, the Voting Rights Act is intended to "hasten the waning of racism in American politics," and not to "entrench racial differences." As a result, he favored a strict, mathematical threshold of 50% in order to keep the courts from having to inquire even more deeply into race and race-based assumptions in deciding cases based on this remedy.
Justice Souter reached a very different conclusion, writing for the four dissenters, when he argued that the impact of the decision would be to further polarize politics by race. States will be required, he said, "to pack black voters into additional majority-minority districts, contracting the number of districts where racial minorities are having success in transcending racial divisions." In other words, this decision, he wrote, "has done all it can to force the states to perpetuate racially concentrated districts, the quintessential manifestations of race consciousness in American politics."
There is substantial debate about the practical effect of this decision. The question is whether it will, in practice, reduce the number of election districts in which racial minorities play a central role.
There is also a more fundamental case before the Court this term on the Voting Rights Act, in which the justices will consider whether jurisdictions must continue to seek federal authorization to change how voting is conducted when they have a history of racial discrimination. Justice Kennedy's comments are already being interpreted as suggesting that he would be likely to uphold such restrictions, favoring instead only gradual changes to the implementation of the Voting Rights Act.

Anthony Ocaña
Price per lesson
Book a Lesson with Anthony Ocaña
Composer with a personal voice where layers of different genres – classical, contemporary, minimal, pop, progressive rock, Caribbean, Latin American and jazz - are interwoven in a unique, unclassifiable style.
His musical path begins at age 5 when he asks his father for piano lessons; at that momento he knew he would dedicate his entire life to music. At age 14 he begins studying classical guitar and enrols in the National Conservatory of Music in Dominican Republic. Later on receives a scholarship to study composition and guitar at Manhattanville College in New York, where he graduates with honours. As a students he was invited to be the opening act of jazz pianist and multi-grammy winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba. At this concert is where Ocaña decides to focus his career on performing his original compositions. Few years later he is again invited to be the opening act of Rubalcaba and also Egberto Gismonti. While living in New York, he works as a composer for the orchestra of Elliot Magaziner (former director of Frank Sinatra's orchestra) and studies with great musicians, such as Benjamin Verdery, Ingram Marshall and Mary Ann Joyce-Walter.
Ocaña has published six albums: A Paso de Cebra with Sebastian Lerner (2001), Anthony Ocaña (2006), Solo (2008), Wet Fields (2010), Placeres (2012) and In Trance (la luna o los ritos del amor) (2015) having received remarkable reviews for each one of them.
Ocaña is originally from the Dominican Republic and has spent time in both the US and Spain, where he now resides.
It has been my pleasure to teach guitar and music theory for over the past ten years to students who have ranged from beginners to professional musicians, including children and adults.
Each pupil is valued and supported wherever they may be in their own musical journey. As a musician who began very young, becoming a composer, interpreter and educator, teaching represents the opportunity to further connect with new learners, exploring their dormant talents, discovering their potential, sharing in the joys given by music, to further cultivate the learner's own endless possibilities of technical improvement and personal growth.
Music is a powerful tool that benefits each person at different levels. Physically, learning music improves brain functions such as spatial intelligence, memory & psychomotor activities; emotionally, it enhances a sense of inner joy and completeness, it is also used as therapy serving as a catalyst to process emotions in a healthy manner; mentally, it improves one's culture and inter-disciplines (as music relates to eras, countries, history, etc.); while socially it promotes enriching interactions. As most people enjoy music and music benefits people, I believe that every person should try learning about it in some way, whether theoretically or practically!
As a musician, I have published 5LP's, performed my music in various venues and countries, and written music for films and documentaries. My compositions have been played in many respected radio and T.V. shows, thus my experience will be helpful to those students interested in taking their music to the next level.
For further information, feel welcome to contact me.
When teaching guitar I like to provide each student with a technical knowledge that will simplify and make more gratifying the experience with the instrument. For this purpose I have built exercises and combined these with other exercises that I have discovered across my life.
I combine these technical skills with music repertoire trying to apply these skills on the music. Since there is so much music out there I like to find songs and pieces that suits each student's taste.
When teaching I also like to provide my students knowledge on harmony. This will be very useful for composing and improvising.

Man Gets Second Murder Conviction Overturned
Getting a murder conviction overturned is quite a feat. But an individual who gets two unrelated murder convictions wiped away is, well, almost unheard of.
This morning's Legal Intelligencer includes the intriguing story of Zachary Wilson, who benefited from a 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruling last week. The court affirmed a 2006 ruling by U.S. District Judge John R. Padova that overturned his second murder conviction, for the 1981 slaying of a man in a North Philadelphia bar.
Both cases involved prosecutor errors. In the most recent case, the 3rd Circuit, led by Judge Jane R. Roth, said prosecutors had violated Wilson's constitutional rights by failing to disclose critical facts about three of the government's key witnesses.
The prosecution had called two eyewitnesses. . . .

Cornel West Quotes About AddictionQuotes about: Addiction
I grew up in traditional black patriarchal culture and there is no doubt that I'm going to take a great many unconscious, but present, patriarchal complicities to the grave because it so deeply ensconced in how I look at the world. Therefore, very much like alcoholism, drug addiction, or racism patriarchy is a disease and we are in perennial recovery and relapse. So you have to get up every morning and struggle against it.
Never before has the seductive market way of life held such sway in nearly every sphere of American life. This marketing way of life promotes addictions to stimulation and obsessions with comfort and convenience ... centered primarily around bodily pleasures and status rankings. ... The common denominator is a rugged and ragged individualism and rapacious hedonism in quest of a perennial "high" in body and mind.
It's a spiritual malnutrition tied to a moral constipation, where people have a sense of what's right and what's good. It's just stuck, and they can't get it out because there's too much greed. There's too much obsession with reputation and addiction to narrow conceptions of success.
I think in the end, you know, we're just addicted to oil. We've got to overcome that addiction, and we need some serious accountability of big oil, because big oil, like so much of big businesses, has just colonized our government, colonized the regulatory agencies so we can't impose any kind of accountability on them.

These days, Fashion Week is just as much about the style outside of the big tents as what's walking down the ramps. But for budget-conscious sartorialists, the amazing outfits seen on fashion magazine editors, celebrities and others invited to these shows, will probably seem as out of reach as Stella McCartney's latest collection.
But never fear! I'm here to break down a few of my favorite street style outfits from New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week and help you find cheaper alternatives to pull the looks together.
Today's look is all about complementing textures and colors:

Homes & Heels is all about being stylish on a budget so I'm always scouring different sites to make sure I pay the absolute best price for anything that I buy. But to help us all be bargain-savvy shoppers, I put together a round-up of the most stylish (and most affordable) coats that I found during Asos' mega sale:
1. Oversized Multistitch Coat: I'm obsessed with this rich teal color. The oversized shape is a great contrast to the luxurious color and would look great paired over a midi dress with ankle boots.
2. Striped Ovoid Coat: Who says brown and black can't be worn together? The color combination will go with everything, making it the perfect everyday staple.
3. Contrast Sleeve Double Breasted Coat: This "borrowed from the boys" coat can be dressed down with a pair of distressed jeans or dressed up with a A-line patterned skirt and crop top underneath.
4. Boyfriend Peacoat: Looking for something more fun on the weekend? This coat is such a fun color and a great frame to showcase a statement necklace.
Still on the lookout for boots? Check out my roundup of Best of Sale: Boots Edition from a couple weeks ago.
Have I mentioned that I love post-holiday sales? I'm still reaping the benefits of stores over-estimating how much people will spend on Christmas gifts and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. One of my latest purchases was a cream Rachel by Rachel Roy blouse with billowy sleeves and…feathers! I styled it with my usual approach, toughening up the feminine blouse with a military green vest with leather details. Paired with my latest go-to pair of heels, I love this outfit – a classic color combination with unexpected details.

Dear polar vortex,
You thought you could kill all sartorial inspiration. Forcing us to wear four pants and ten sweaters in your below freezing temperatures. But we don't give up that easily. We might take our photo shoots inside and wear a beanie indoors but nothing is going to stop us from wearing a cute royal blue midi skirt with an embellished sweater. Oh, and how can we forget the color blocking action going on with those yellow booties? Yup, we won this round. Your move, polar vortex.

Homes & Heels is all about being stylish on a budget so I'm always scouring different sites to make sure I pay the absolute best price for anything that I buy. But to help us all be bargain-savvy shoppers, I put together a round-up of the most stylish (and most affordable) boots that I found around the web:
1. Shay Boot: What's better than a pair of boots that can go with all of your ensembles? This black and brown pair is the perfect one-stop shop.
2. Jeno Bootie: I tend to wear a lot of darker colors in the winter so I snagged a pair of these as the perfect pop of color.
3. Clary Bootie: For all of those West Coast and Southern readers, these would look stunning with a chic blazer and a pair of boyfriend jeans rolled up to show this gorgeous pair.
4. Diba Elyse Bootie: Why should people from the Austin Powers era be the only ones who get to wear white boots? Pair this modern interpretation with a colorful coat, skinny jeans and a white manicure.
5. Brit Ankle Boot: When in doubt, you can always go with the timeless black and gold combination. As versatile as they are, this is the easiest pair to dress up or down.
6. Mabel Boot: Navy and black together are so Euro-chic. Complete the look with a black fedora and a sophisticated sweater dress.
A few days before the heavy snowfall in Chicago it almost felt like spring in the city. You could see the brownish grass, a couple birds were chirping – hey, I'll take what I can get. It was just warm enough to squeeze in a quick photo shoot with one of my favorite color combos – burgundy and navy. I paired my striped cardigan with a bejeweled blouse and to toughen up the look, added faded blue jeans and black leather booties.
Blouse: J Crew/Cardigan: Ann Taylor LOFT/Jeans: Urban Outfitters/Boots: House of Harlow/Clutch: Forever 21/Earrings: Marc Jacobs
You've heard me talk about how much I love the black and white trend before and I fell even more head over heels with it when I came across this quirky heart printed T-shirt (also worn here). It's become one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe and seemed the perfect piece to bring back my Day to Night series of style posts.
I'm lucky enough to work in an office environment that has a "jeans & heels" type of dress code so I paired the t-shirt with another funky piece that I picked up from Zara, a green jacket trimmed out in "leather." To keep the casual vibe, I tucked the t-shirt into a pair of frayed ankle jeans but added long black earrings and pointed toe flats for a touch of glamour.
Jacket: Zara/T-shirt: Zara/Jeans: Forever 21/Earrings: Aldo/Purse: Zara/Flats: Pour la Victoire
For my nighttime look, I styled the t-shirt with a midi length full skirt in a gorgeous royal blue color. The outfit felt very feminine so to toughen it up, I added a pair of rock & roll sandals and chain chandelier earrings.
T-shirt: Zara/Skirt: Asos/Sandals: Guess/Earrings: Forever 21/Clutch: Forever 21
It's my favorite time of the year – Nordstrom's Semi-Annual Sale is here! Okay, so maybe it's just my wallet's favorite event but getting great items for a steal is always high on my list. I rounded up a few of my favorites from the sale and can't wait to grab a pair or two before they're all snatched up!
1. Jule Sandal – Pair these statement sandals with a breezy sundress to take your look from day to night.
2. Zigi Chapeau Flat – Summer slip-ons get toughened up with the addition of studs and leather, a great contrast to a pair of feminine floral jeans.
3. Dash Flat – My favorite of all these pairs, I'm planning on pairing these with skinny jeans and blazers all summer long.
4. Flawless Bootie – Get a head start on fall fashion by this reinterpretation of the black and white trend for cooler temperatures.
This weekend was all about enjoying the gorgeous, summery Chicago weather! I've been obsessed with my chambray jacket ever since my little DIY project and it was a total necessity to transition my day outfit into al fresco dining apparel. I picked up this bright orange midi skirt a couple of months ago at H & M and since the material is similar to neoprene, I wanted to soften its ultra-modern look with some more casual pieces. I added a cute t-shirt from Zara and then finished it off with the chambray jacket, Pour la Victoire flats (bought at the recent Gilt City warehouse sale) and a bold black and white tote. Have a great week everyone!
Jacket: Forever 21/T-shirt: Zara/Skirt: H & M/Tote: Asos/Flats: Pour la Victoire/Rings: Forever 21
I came across this chambray jacket at Forever 21 a couple weeks ago and liked the medium blue of the fabric and the softness of the chambray. The added details of the zipper around the collar and the epaulettes kept it from looking too basic so I decided I needed to have it as a spring cover-up. Only problem? The gaudy jewels scattered on the pockets. I decided that it was easily fixable by spending a few extra dollars.
I picked up a cheap white nail polish at the local drugstore and applied thin coats to each one of the colored jewels but left the clear jewels as is for some added visual interest. Once they were dry, I added a top coat just the way you would to your nails for some added shine and now I have a jacket that's perfectly on-trend with the combination of chambray and white accents!
I think the floral jeans trend was made for Midwesterners. Forget the fashion capitals of the world, we've been craving warmer temperatures and spring blossoms for months now – and if the weather won't cooperate why not add a dose of spring to your wardrobe?
Floral jeans come in all different varieties of colors and patterns but this pair from Gap immediately caught my eye. I love the mix of colors – perfect for creating a ton of different outfits (and sticking to a budget!) – and the soft, abstract look of the design. I paired it with a soft blue t-shirt and a sleeveless blazer, and added pops of color with my chartreuse sandals and glam jewelry making it a great day to night look.

About the Author
The Netezza Performance Server [NPS] system was the first enterprise-class
data warehouse appliance to solve the terascale data warehouse challenge
without compromising on performance, ease-of-use or on the level
of data being analyzed.
NPS claims to deliver "10-50 times the query speed at half
the cost of competing solutions".
Netezza's approach is fundamentally different from other DW vendors,
in respect of its affordability and the impressive speed of itsIntelligent
Query Streaming technology.
The NPS system is a fully-integrated data warehouse appliance that
consists of:
By architecturally integrating database, server and storage within
a single appliance, this powerful system manages data flows and
process queries at the disk level.
NPS delivers breakthrough performance, easy deployment and operation,
and innovative flexibility and scalability at a fraction of the
cost of traditional data warehouse solutions.
The technical benefits above directly translate into real business
benefits through the improved real time analytical tasks capability
Revenue Assurance - identify revenue leakages
and uncover billable interconnect services that previously went
undetected. This is achieved by detecting improper switch behavior
early and tightening switch-to-billing management
Reducing Churn - by navigating through daily
CDRs to identify profitable customers, then modeling customer behavior
to spot usage trends that can predict churn
Enhancing CRM Initiatives - for more targeted
marketing and services and more profitable pricing plans
Network Performance - performing in-depth traffic
and usage pattern analysis to reduce operational failures and costs
associated with them.
Performing analysis of historical data based on months of network
operation data at the CDR level to identify trends that enable carriers
to detect service problems and bottlenecks
Fraud Prevention - using auditing and analytics
to detect fraudulent activities by comparing rules and profiles
to quickly identify new patterns and prevent revenue erosion
Least Cost Routing - comparing day-to-day, week-to-week
and month-to-month activity to detect trends that impact network
utilization and profitability
The NPS appliance gives carriers a platform for performing complex
BI queries against billions of CDRs within minutes or seconds, versus
hours or days.
The NPS appliance is enabling telecommunications carriers to comprehensively
analyze billions of CDRs in real-time to make better informed and
more proactive business decisions.
NPS supports telecom BI applications from vendors such as Business
Objects and Vibrant Solutions, with data-intensive BI analyses at
speed and performance up to 100 times that of most other solutions.
Ideally, carriers could store and analyze CDR-level data, together
with data from all other sources, in a consolidated terascale data
warehouse. Netezza's data warehouse appliance makes this possible
for billions of records.
The breakthrough performance of the NPS system allows complex queries
to be processed in minutes or seconds instead of hours or days.
Using highly accurate churn prediction models that:

Revenue leakage is an ongoing profitability threat and a $100B
industry problem. Inter-carrier settlements can represent up to
50% of operating costs.
The Revenue Assurance process compares delivered transactions with
invoiced transactions, and identifies missing or lost revenues to
recoup any lost revenue.

There is value in call detail information for:
Performing real-time analysis on massive volumes of call detail
data using complex queries requires signficantly more performance
than legacy general-purpose systems provide. Such complete detailed
network auditing and analysis requires processing acceleration that
only systems like NPS can perform.
Vibrants HyperAnalytics application identifies lost usage event

Effective BI programs for telecommunications put heavy demands
on data warehousing and BI systems.
Netezzas high-performance enterprise-class data warehouse appliance
maximizes the impact of BI by eliminating barriers to accessing

International Trade Secretary Liam Fox is set to open a new £400 million shipping terminal.
The deep-water container terminal, dubbed Liverpool2, has been hailed as the "beginning of a new era" for the Port of Liverpool.
The expanded port facility, which developers Peel Ports estimate will create 5,000 jobs, will be opened by Dr Fox on Friday.
It will operate in conjunction with the existing Royal Seaforth container terminal at the Port of Liverpool.
Mark Whitworth, chief executive of Peel Ports, said Liverpool2 would provide "state-of-the-art facilities" and create "a new trading gateway in the UK".
He said: "Today marks the beginning of a new era for the Port of Liverpool.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I keep recieving the following error trying to use the SPDisplayRelatedInfo.
'relatedClumnsXML[...]' is null or not an object
I have a lookup column of 19 text items. Is there something that I am missing?
<script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof jQuery=='undefined'){
var jQPath = '/_layouts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js';
document.write('<script src="',jQPath,'" type="text/javascript"><\/script>');
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="../../scripts/jquery.SPServices-0.2.10.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
columnName: "Course Title",
relatedList: "Courses",
relatedListColumn: "Title",
displayFormat: "table"
Does the error really say 'relatedClumnsXML[...]'? I just checked my code, and I don't have that misspelling. (I was worried there for a sec!)
relatedColumnsXML contains the Field information about each column which is returned from the GetList operation. It looks like this error would be thrown if one of the relatedColumns you have specified: ["Location","Start_x0020_Time","End_x0020_Time"]
isn't in the relatedList. Could you check your column names again and make sure that they are all present in the Courses list?
Sorry about the misspelling. Here is what I'm finding. If I use the internal name in the relatedColumns I do not recieve an error but nothing happens. My code has changed to this:
columnName: "Course Title",
relatedList: "Courses",
relatedListColumn: "Title",
p.s. Let me know where the documentation isn't helping in all of this, too:
There is no longer an error in the bottom left in IE 8 and Yes the Courses list is in the same site. The Courses Title is a lookup column into the Courses list Title column.
OK, all sounds as if things are set up correctly.
So when you change the selection in the 'Course Title' column on the form, nothing happens? You don't see the column headers? (Which ought to be: "Location", "Start Time", and "End Time" based on what you've shown
It looks like the Courses list is an Events list, correct? I'll do some testing on this end with an Events list.
I'm using IE Developer Tools trying to see what's going on. When the page loads it steps through the code but not when I select somethinig in the drop-down. An event not being raised? I've restricted the values in the relatedColumns parameter to just relatedColumns:["Location"]
but nothing has changed and removed the number of entries to 19. Still nothing. I did notice that the Title column (default) was renamed to Course Title but the internal name is still Title.
Thanks for your help.
I've got my test list trying to show related info from a Calendar list and I'm seeing the same thing as you. Let me do some debugging...
I found the bug. It was cause by the space in 'Course Title'. Bad slip on my part. I have a fix; I'll upload it now.
Sorry about this.
Great!!! Everything is working. The only comment I have is that I had to use the internal name for the relatedColumns and not the display names. I didn't see anywhere in the documentation that this was stated.
Thanks again for the help.
This is working so well that I have to ask if you have built in SPService the functonality to populate a form field from calling a web service. Much like SPDisplayRelatedInfo just take the returned value and place it in a form field.
Thanks again for everyting and mentioning me on your site
Glad we got you up and running! Take a look at the docs. It actually does say internal name. How can I say it more clearly so that no one else gets stuck?
I'm going to take your populate form field idea and turn into a new work item in the Issue Tracker because it seems like a useful idea. Can you add any other thoughts there that would make it useful for you? Options that would be helpful? etc.?

Miles Montego (Ja Rule) has it all – cars, boats, good looks, mansion, money, women, but more importantly, he has a past. Miles is a retired high level drug trafficker who is now completely legitimate. Even though Miles has turned over a new leaf, the DEA can't seem to let him out of their sights. Miles' only downfall is that he is extremely loyal to his circle of friends and former colleagues who are not retired from the lucrative business. Struggling to keep on the right side of the law, Miles meets the one girl of his dreams but she's not the usual type of girl that he's used to dating. Vanessa (Adrienne Bailon) is a church girl in every sense of the word. They are tested to their last ounce of faith and strength in God and each other. God continues to chip away at Miles through struggles from his past, having to live up to his reputation, feelings of unworthiness, the death of his mother, federal charges, his friends being indicted, the strain on his relationship with Vanessa, almost losing her in a near fatal car accident, and finally the spiritual breakdown and one on one with God that brings Miles to his knees.

While the loss of 49 lives from the terror attack in Orlando is absolutely horrific, what's even worse is that a lot of information has come to light that demonstrates it's a tragedy that perhaps could have been avoided.
Reports earlier today indicated that the wife of shooter Omar Mateen knew about his plans to carry out the attack and did not report him to authorities. But authorities also received a heads-up about him that should've set off some warning bells.
Back in April, Disney World actually alerted the FBI about Mateen and his wife possibly casing the location for an attack.
BizPacReview reports:
According to law enforcement officials, Walt Disney World had reportedly warned federal authorities about the man responsible for Sunday's Orlando shooting massacre.
Disney alerted the FBI that Omar Mateen and his wife Noor Salman may have been casing the location in April.

— Karla Ray (@KRayWFTV) June 14, 2016
Mateen had twice been scrutinized by the FBI and was put on the terrorist watchlist for a year. Then he was turned in by Disney, and yet it doesn't seem as if any appropriate action was taken.
Could this terror attack partially be the fault of an inept, progressive-run government that refuses to take the enemy seriously and take necessary action to keep citizens safe?
While the entirety of the blame doesn't land on the government — after all, this terrorist committed this atrocious act of his own accord — one can't help but feel with all of the red flags this guy threw up, a deeper investigation should've been conducted.
Let's hope those charged with our national defense learn from their mistakes, set aside political correctness, and do a better job of making sure our enemies aren't able to so easily attack our fellow Americans.

I just got back from another enjoyable "*Spring break*" in California which afforded me a lot of great bonding time with my cousin and her husband and also a chance to see a variety of interesting things including the old mission compound of San Gabriel's, the Huntington House and Gardens in San Marino, some great mountain trails, beautiful scenery, etc.
Last year I flew First Class with United Airlines and I must admit that it was a First Class experience but this year I decided to give Economy Refundable a try, not without a certain amount of apprehension. It wasn't bad at all though ... plenty of leg room and attention from United's wonderful flight attendants. I found that I preferred the Snack Box selections ($5 each) offered to that of a big dinner which comes with First Class. Best of all was the price I paid for my trip: **$2.50 from Chicago to Los Angeles and $2.50 back**.
Yes, you read that right -- two and a half dollars -- **or five dollars for the entire round trip.** Checking my second bag ($25 each way) cost me ten times as much as it did to check myself in! I was able to enjoy what would have been a trip costing more than $600 for less than it takes to ride an El here in Chicago. The story behind this amazing deal began last year ...
**Bonus Miles**
On the occasion of my first round trip with United last Spring, I registered as a *United Mileage Plus* member which meant that I received credit for a free mile of travel with each dollar I paid for the flight. It was a pretty good start, but then Chase Bank offered me 21,000 bonus miles for signing up for a *United Mileage Plus Visa Card*. Not only that, but I would get more bonus miles for renewing the card when the time came and ANOTHER 1,000 miles for choosing electronic statements instead of paper.
Every dollar I have charged with the *United Mileage Plus Visa Card* since then has earned me another mile, and then there were the special deals ... using the card to pay my estimated income tax installments earned me double miles for each dollar (a real value in spite of the small convenience fee involved). Nor was I confined to using the card but could earn extra miles a myriad of other ways. According to the *Mileage Plus* website, *United Mileage Plus members can earn extra miles not only by flying United, Ted, United Express or Star Alliance airlines but by purchasing products or services from more than 100 participating partners in over 10,000 locations worldwide*. For instance, every dollar which I spend at *Dominick's Supermarkets* is worth a half a mile even if I don't use the *Mileage Plus Visa Card*, as long as I present my *Dominick's Fresh Savings* card at checkout. Adding all these special deals and offers together meant that in no time I had accrued the 25,000 miles necessary to redeem for an Economy Refundable trip to Los Angeles and back.
**The Bottom Line**
At first blush, you would think that the last thing the harassed airlines need right now is a passenger who pays only $2.50 to fly from Chicago to California. There is a method to this madness, however, and whoever thought up this *Mileage Plus* deal deserves credit for a real stroke of genius. The only path for survival which I can see for the major airlines is to develop sources of income that don't require expensive outlays of prohibitively priced fuel. Awarding me miles has not only almost guaranteed that I will choose United and its affiliates for those trips which I pay full price for in the future but has also meant that -- *even if I were to never fly again* -- United would continue to get a share out of every dollar I spend at Dominick's or charge with my *Chase Mileage Visa Card* ***without having to take off with me on board at all***. (An added bonus is that offering "free" rides is another way to fill up planes which otherwise may be flying partly empty at odd times of day.)

The standard $1 for 1 Mileage Plus mile used to be at the head of the credit card reward value leaders' pack. With the advent of more rewards programs, I find different economies in the credit card rewards world. If we look at 25,000 miles for a single $500 ticket, we see rewards at 2%. For international economy travel to Asia $1500 = 60,000 miles or 2.5%. The immediate comparison is the Chase Freedom card which offers a 3% cash back. Hence, there are better cards on the purely economic basis.
So, does that mean immediate rejection? Not entirely. Using the reward miles earned to bump up one's premier status level one grade can make a world of difference for the more frequent flyer.
For a long time I have preferred hotel rewards as my credit card incentive, since the hotel was often more expensive than airfare. When airline fares stabilize -- after oil prices stabilize, then these calculations will need to be done again to determine are the economics worth it.
For the point of disclosure, I do use my hotel rewards card first, but as an American Express card is not accepted everywhere, a Mileage Plus VISA substitutes wherever American Express is not accepted.

Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
The United MileagePlus Explorer card is a very handy tool for travelers to have. Crucially, the card charges no foreign transaction fees, so you can use this card all over Europe and never be charged for anything but your actual purchases. In addition, the card allows you to get a free checked bag on United flights, and you can get priority boarding on United flights with this card.
But the real benefit of this card is all the United frequent flier miles you can get while using it. I signed up during a promotion, where if I spent $1,000 in the first three months, I got 30,000 free miles. I liked this deal, because I didn't have to inflate my spending at all to get the points. Also convenient is shopping through the Mileage Plus shopping portal. I can get points for shopping through the website, even if I don't use my United card, and if I do use the card, I get double points! Sometimes stores also have promotions that give you 2-5x the number of points for your purchases. My only complaint with this card is that I wish it was easier to acquire more points quickly. I was hoping to use my points on a flight to Paris this summer, but that might be out of reach. Still, overall I would definitely recommend this card to those who love to travel.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
I'm wary of credit cards because I know my shopping would get way too out of hand if I Had too many of them in my wallet, but the Chase United Miles plus card is worth it.
It's especially worth it if you do a lot of big purchases using credit cards. And its even more worth it if you travel a lot. You can put travel expenses on your card and then Use the card and your miles you have earned for future trips.
Another thing that made me wary was interest rates. A lot of credit cards have higher interest rates, this one certainty isn't the lowest I've seen but it's not the highest either. Nice middle of the road card.
Customer service is also super friendly. I have used Chase in the past so I knew they would be good to work with again. And I haven't been dissatisfied thus far.
It is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a card to pay off quickly. Or are a big purchaser or someone who travels a lot.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
Overall I like the Chase MileagePlus Explorer card. The initial free ticket and the club passes are a great perk. The annual fee is on the higher side, however since we use this card for almost all of our purchases, the amount of miles we accumulate is worth the fee. The free bags are also a great perk and save a lot of money for traveling families.
Customer Service
Customer service has been great so far. They are quick to send new cards and easy to connect with over the phone. One thing to watch out for is if your card expires after you purchase your ticket and a new card is sent to you before traveling. This happened to us once, and the ticketing agent did not believe me when I told her that I purchased my tickets with the same account, but the card number was different because new cards had been sent to me. She almost made me pay for my bags, however after I pleaded with her, she reluctantly allowed me to check my bags for free. I realize this is more related to the airline customer service than the card customer service, but just something to be aware of.
Available Rates
The rates are average and similar to other airline cards.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
Chase is the only redeeming quality of the United MilagePlus Explorer Visa credit card. Chase has countless locations that are convenient for my various baking needs. Unfortunately that means that all of the miles you are earning by using the United MilagePlus Explorer card would be for United Airlines. I have a couple of issues with them, from their on time performance rating to their customer service. One of the perks of flying with United Airlines, however, is that because they are a discount carrier, their rewards go a little farther than with some of the other airlines.
Customer Service
I very much appreciate the customer service that Chase offers as a holder of the Chase United MilagePlus Explorer Visa credit card. Customer service representatives have not only been helpful, but assisted me with a smile.
Available Rates
While the rates that are currently available with the Chase United MilagePlus Explorer Visa credit card are not horrible, they are nothing super spectacular either.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
I had a terrible experience with Chase this first go around with them. However, I have had a great experience with this card. I am not a credit card user but opened this card due to international traveling. I saw two great benefits in this card. First, it gave me great points towards United flights. I got a huge point boost for signing up and then book a flight to London on it. With both of those, I have already earned two free flights. Second, there is no international fees on this card. Therefore, I wanted to have it in London since there are no fees. I have had a great experience with this card. I always pay things right off and have never paid interest. It has built up to some great miles for me. There is an annual fee but if you travel internationally it is worth it. I would recommend this card but I also recommend always paying it off each month. Don't pay interest on things. Then it won't be worth it.
Customer Service
Customer Service has been great. They signed me up and even rushed delivered my card for no extra fee.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
As a frequent United Flyer I love this card. I get to earn additional miles for shopping online, the grocery store, getting gas and so many more places. It makes it much easier when I need to book a vacation for the family because I have so many miles. Even for non frequent fliers, it gets you free bags and group 2 boarding. I've not paid for an airline ticket in years, even first, BusinessFirst and Business class tickets. Flying frequently with United/Star Alliance and using this card allowed me to rack up hundreds of thousand of miles.
However, there a two things I dislike about the card. The biggest is the cost, I would find $50-$75 more reasonable. The second thing is that the perks aren't really that beneficial. Yes, free bags are good. But priority boarding in group 2 isn't very beneficial especially when you live near a United hub like Chicago or San Francisco. Group 2 is often the longest line there is.
Customer Service
The service is pretty good.
Available Rates
My local credit union offers much better rates, but those cards don't come with these perks.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
This card definitely helped me earn mileage towards reward flights, but in the end it is hard to justify the annual fee when you can get other rewards cards with more flexible rewards that don't have an annual fee.
Available Rates
It is a rewards card, so it does have higher rates.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
I have been a card holder of the Chase-United MileagePlus Explorer card for almost 10 years now. I love this card because it has a nice interest rate and I earn United Air miles for every dollar that I spend. You do have to pay an annual fee of $60.00 but that is not bad considering you could earn far more than that in air miles. It is a great card to have if you plan on making regular monthly purchases like gas, house utilities, insurance and then just paying it off at the end of the month as if you were paying the bill regularly. I like to do this because then I am earning miles on money that I would already be spending and not getting any rewards for if I just paid it with cash or online bill payment. The Chase.com website is very easy to use as well. You can make all your payments online and track your card activity in current time. The only down side of making a payment online is that you have to schedule your payments at least 3 days apart. I use to get frustrated with this because when I would make a purchase I wanted to go right on after and make a payment for the exact amount so that I would not incur any interest on that purchase and because I already had the money at the time to pay for it. It gets a little hectic doing this though when you are making frequent purchases and can only schedule payments every 3 days. I now just make one large payment at the end of the month and am still able to avoid the interest since the card is being paid in full. I usually make all of my payments though Chase app on my phone and it is nice and simple. The app really just has the basics of making payments, checking balances, viewing transactions but that is really all I need. I am definitely a fan of Chase!
Available Rates
I haven't checked recently but I have a nice rate.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
I had the Chase United Mileage Plus Visa Card for over twenty years. I first signed up because I was traveling constantly for business, so I figured it would help add "free" miles to my United account to supplement the air miles I was also earning. Paying for all those fancy hotels, rental cars and client dinners really added up, but since my company allowed me to keep the miles, I had no problems charging everything to my card and getting reimbursed later.
The one thing is that I've always had to pay an annual fee, which was worth it when miles were valued at about two cents each. However, nowadays miles are worth less than a penny apiece, and since I'm not racking up huge business expenses like I used to, I figured out that it wasn't worth it to keep the card unless they waived the annual fee, which they wouldn't do.
Therefore, I switched to a no fee Chase card that offers cash back instead, so I no longer feel like I'm losing money to annual fees.
Comments about Chase - United MileagePlus Explorer:
The United Plus Visa Card from Chase has nice features and is administered well. However, the $60 annual fee is a big con.
Customer Service
Chase customer service is always excellent for me.
Available Rates
The rate doesn't matter because I pay the balance off in full every month.

If so, how did it make it you feel?
- It felt nothing as it is what it is.Vote A
- It felt somewhat good, since women never had to go through what men had to go through in the dating world, which was being the one asking the other out on a date or relationship. Therefore, there's no way in hell a woman can assume I'm a pervert by her logic of what it is.Vote B

What the hell is with the second option? and what are you trying to say that us women are souless? on the contrary men can be equally as souless lol. Just like when you men reject a woman and don't have any emotional weight to it nether do we... we are really not that different to each other. Also you have to understand it's a lot more dangerous for women in a world that is dominated by men, there are more buisness men, police men, politicians, bankers etc... than there is women because men feel we can't do it... and men can act really aggresive towards us, there are men out there who feel they can push and slap us around like a dummy and get away with it... and yes women can be just as cocky and the odd time abusive but the amount of rude men we come across on a daily basis... you can't even beguin to know... so we are very scared of going up to a guy and getting hurt i'm afraid.21|10|0
"... but the amount of rude men we come across on a daily basis... you can't even beguin to know... "
Yeah, I'm afraid this is all too true. The army of assholes and losers and sociopaths out there who force their issues on girls on a daily basis do us all a disservice. I don't blame girls for being skeptical of guys based on the number of douchebags I encounter in my daily life.
Yeh... it's pretty annoying and most guys these days try to be like Bruno Mars lol but i bet Bruno Mars acts better than them... and they think every girls likes the latest music and fancies any of the dudes singing lol i certainly can't stand it but these dudes come up to me like "do you like what you see?" and all i can think is "Bruno Mars or JLS" LOL! they are not even themselves! and then they get mad when we see that *sigh*. I don't dress like other girls ether or act like them so it's like "why are you talking to me? i'm myself, you are not" lol. Indeed they do make it harder for the gentleman out there but that's what they are there for to fix what they done, us girls can't really trust men and well... we get hurt by what they do more than they get hurt getting rejected cos all they are doing is feeling what's happning in their pants lol but it's different for us girls, we don't get bonars in like 10 seconds lol.

Hi Everyone! It's time for another update, and I know you're going to like this week's. Say hi to Wet Peaches. She's a ghetto child I met a few weeks ago, and she loves white girls. I told her about this dice game I just bought from an adult shoppe not too far from my house, and she was totally down to play. One of the dice has words like "eat" and "lick" and the other dice has words like "pussy" and "asshole" on it…I don't think I need to tell you anymore than that! Anyways, me and Wet Peaches end up playing, and things get C-R-A-Z-Y! At the end, I know how Wet Peaches earned her name…she blasted my face full of her pussy juice! She's a squirter!!! And wow! Did I end up messy…oh well. Just like every other week! If it's not black seed, it's black pussy juice!!! LOL…Enjoy it! I know I did. XOXO — Spring

'60 Minutes of English' at Local Schools and Universities
'60 minutes of English' offers Palestinians studying at local schools and universities the chance to meet our international volunteers and to practice English with native speakers. Excellence Centre volunteers and staff members now regularly visit local schools and universities to conduct workshops in English Language with students from Beginner to Advanced.
Workshops are adapted to the needs of students. A workshop at a local high school might feature a theme, such as sports, while at universities we work on Fresh Graduate Skills, such as how to write formal letters and resumes, and conduct interviews.
The Excellence Centre's Manager, Rafat Shantir, described a typical workshop. There's 'normally twenty five school students per class', he said. 'The teacher divides them into groups and they do activities on a particular theme'.
Often students have experienced English classes focused on grammar and reading, so they benefit from the opportunity offered by the Centre to actively produce the language. 'What's important is that they're learning through interactive activities. It's not just sitting and listening, they learn by actively engaging', Rafat said.
'The students who come to our workshops are keen to work and progress. 'Palestinians have developed awareness of the importance of English', Rafat said, 'they think about their future and they want to work towards a brighter future'.
The Excellence Centre ensures that its staff and volunteers work to provide a positive and relaxed atmosphere in which students enjoying learning. 'For me it's not about what kind of degree you have', Rafat said, the most important characteristics of a teacher are a 'sense of humour, flexible, respectful, and open to other cultures'.
Danish volunteer, Ellen, 20, has been volunteering as a teacher at the Centre for two months, and has helped conduct five workshops. 'They're so much fun', she said, 'and it's great to see how the local schools and universities work'.
'Normally we go to non-private schools but last week we went to a private high school and the level was so high', she said. 'We prepared for a normal ninth grade (13-14 year olds) and they were all fluent and speaking with American accents. We had to improvise with our teaching materials!'. Ellen used flashcards to organize a game where groups of students took it in turns guessing the occupation written on the card stuck to their head. 'It's great because it gives students plenty of chance to speak', she added.
The Excellence Centre is proud to offer '60 minutes of English', providing an opportunity for students to learn English from our staff and volunteers from all over the world.

One part of British propaganda was to encourage people to enlist to become soldiers. This famous US propaganda piece was made to influence American workers at home.
"Rosie the Riveter" is a strong female war production worker that spread the idea that with the help of women the war could be won. This Russian message translates to: Every time we get attacked, we will reply with an attack three times more fierce. This Russian message translates to:
Fight German animals, we can and must defeat Hitler's Army.
This Soviet propaganda shows what the Soviets thought of the Nazis (savage animals).
The Soviets also thought that they could fight and beat Germany as well. This German message translates to:
Just as we fight, you work for victory.
This propaganda was made to boost worker self esteem and show that they play an important role in the war, equal to the soldiers fighting. This US propaganda was made to show what the Nazis were doing to Christianity and that they were the enemy because they were killing the religion and everything it stood for. This US propaganda justifying the war as avoiding the destruction of Christianity and saving their country from the giant Nazi enemy. This propaganda piece was made to show Americans that even eating wisely and not wasting food can help their soldiers to win the war.
This encourages the idea that everyone can play a part to help with the war, even with what you are cooking at home.
This Canadian propaganda was made to tell soldiers and other Canadians that the end of the war (and defeating Hitler) was controlled by how hard they fought and worked. This US propaganda poster was made to remind people about important information and national secrets
This also shows that citizens at home play a role in the war.
This propaganda was made to persuade people to buy war bonds because doing that would defeat Nazi Germany. This propaganda explained that buying war bonds and stamps would keep children safe from any enemies harm. This propaganda was intended to raise the morale of the British public because they didn't want them to worry about the massive air and fire attacks. This propaganda was made to encourage Americans to buy extra war bonds.
This would help fund the war that they were winning and that buying bonds would get revenge on what the Japanese did to the Americans.
How was propaganda used in WWII?
Confidence in war
Raise civilian morale
Promote your values and culture (communism, facism, democracy)
Promote recruitment of new soldiers
Economy and rationing of valuable resources
Warn people about secrets
Make your side seem like "good" and enemy seem "evil." This propaganda was made to encourage the Soviet Union's soldiers by telling them they have a stronger army. World War II Propaganda || By : Eman Elnatour Propaganda is any type of communication used to influence people and their ideas.
Many countries used Propaganda during WWII:
- The US, Germany, the USSR, UK, France, Japan, Canada, and many other countries used propaganda in WWII.
- Many countries showed propaganda through media, posters and even leafletting. leafletting- small propaganda flyers would be dropped out of airplanes in many countries to make sure people would see. Introduction In conclusion, propaganda played a very important role during WW2.
It influenced people in many ways to help, fight, and contribute to the war in any way.
If countries didn't use propaganda, WW2 may have a very different outcome. How did Nazi Germany use propaganda?
It made people thinks of power and control and supremacy of the Nazi ideals and forces.
Purity and superiority of the Aryan race
Hatred and inferiority for the enemies of Germany
Rationing of supplies
Rectruitment of people to support Nazi Germany
Warning against spies
Increase support for war and confidence in victory
