The objective of the programme is to produce high quality patient-centred practitioners with appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes to enable them to practice in intensive care.
Lectures, seminars and feedback are approximately 150 hours (25% of total hours) in a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, project supervision and workshops.
Self-study is approximately 450 hours (75% of total hours) of independent study such as preparing for scheduled sessions, follow-up work, wider reading, and completion of assessment task or revision. This will vary according to the optional modules chosen.
Students are expected to undertake on average 14.5 hours of self-study per week.
Contact time is based on 24 academic weeks, whereas self-study time is based on 31 academic weeks. Typically, one credit equates to ten hours of work.
Students are assessed through a combination of coursework, which can include written assignments such as essays, portfolios and dissertations, and examinations.
In addition, some modules will require students to undertake a presentation as part of the module assessment. A small number of modules are assessed by an exam such as OSCEs (objective structured clinical examination) or a computer-based assessment.
All students will also have to complete a clinical competency assessment document using the FICM ACCP assessment documents.
The study time and assessment methods detailed above are typical and give you a good indication of what to expect. However, they may change if the course modules change.

We've finally returned home after a 10 day trip through Oklahoma and Arkansas. We drove from Houston up through Texas and Oklahoma to Tulsa for a visit with our youngest son and his family. From there we traveled to Springdale, Arkansas to visit my husband's brother. Then we left there and traveled down through central Arkansas and Little Rock to a little town called Warren.
In Warren we attended the class reunion of the classes of 1953 and 1954 for Banks, Arkansas High School which is no longer in operation. Each class had less than 12 graduates, so we didn't have a big crowd, around 43 I think. I really learned a lot about small town life by listening to them talk. The majority of them still live around the area.
Not only did we have a good time visiting family and friends, but I also enjoyed the scenery. We stayed on the Interstates most of the time, but in Arkansas we traveled a lot of back roads and coming home through northern Louisiana and then East Texas on the back roads, so we saw many interesting towns. I must say the land of northwest Arkansas is really beautiful as is most of northern Arkansas. Read three great books while traveling. But being home again is the best.

This event will provide an introduction to the environmental dimensions of contemporary armed conflicts and their relationship to the SDGs. It will also consider the gaps in legal protection and international assistance that should be addressed, and the role that States and civil society can play in promoting efforts to strengthen the protection of the environment in relation to armed conflicts.
The three draft resolutions tabled by Ukraine, Jordan and Morocco ahead of the second meeting of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA 2) reflect the growing international interest in armed conflict and the environment. It is also becoming increasingly clear that efforts to understand and mitigate the environmental drivers, impact and legacy of conflicts are crucial for ensuring the successful delivery of the environmental dimensions of the SDGs. This is particularly true for the objectives of SDGs 3, 6, 15 and 16.
The direct and derived consequences of armed conflicts can seriously degrade environmental quality and systems of environmental governance, harming human health, livelihoods and economies. Nevertheless these linkages remain under-addressed and existing protection for the environmental before, during and after armed conflicts is widely viewed as inadequate.
Since 2009, a renewed and long-overdue international discourse on strengthening the protection of the environment in relation to armed conflicts has emerged. This is creating opportunities for debate among States, international organisations and civil society on measures to address these shortcomings. But developing the practical and policy measures necessary to increase protection for civilians and their environment first requires greater awareness and acceptance of the environmental dimensions of armed conflict.
The process has been made all the more urgent because for many fragile or conflict-affected States, and their neighbours, meeting the environmental targets set by the SDGs will be impossible without first addressing how we minimise the environmental degradation associated with armed conflicts and mitigate its effects on human health and ecosystems.
This Green Room event will take place during UNEA-2 in Nairobi, for further information please visit the UNEA-2 website or follow #UNEA2.

I OVERHEARD one say: "Just look at that beautiful, sweet little babyand to think it's filled with all that evil, despicable human nature!"
But was it?
Think of this paradox! How can it be explained? The human mind can produce wonders. We have sent successive teams of men to walk on the moon. We have returned them safely through the earth's atmosphere.
Yet these marvelous human minds cannot solve our problems here on earthcannot bring the world PEACE! WHY?
All the violence, war, crime, corruption, dishonesty, and immorality is blamed on HUMAN NATURE. But where did HUMAN NATURE come from? Did the Creator instill it within us from creation? Were we born with it? Why, as the Bible says, is the heart deceitful above all things? (Jer. 17:9). Did God create in us a nature that "is enmity [hostile] against God"? (Rom. 8:7.)
The answer requires a knowledge of the composition and nature of the human mindaccessible only by revelation. WHY does such wonderful MIND power work so much evil?
Did an all-loving, all-merciful, almighty GOD deliberately plague the human race He created with an inborn nature of vanity, lust, and greedwith a heart of hostility against God, of deceit, envy, jealousy, and hatred?

Schoolchildren congratulate their former lollipop lady as she is named Bexley Star
PUBLISHED: 09:06 18 November 2016 | UPDATED: 09:06 18 November 2016
She began her career in 1974 and has worked through storms and freezing winters
Schoolchildren turned out to congratulate former Erith lollipop lady Yvonne Cocksedge this week as she collected her award for being a Bexley Star.
Youngsters from Slade Green Primary School and Haberdashers' Aske's Crayford Temple Grove (North) Academy paid their respects as the 71-year-old made her way to an awards event at Hall Place on Tuesday.
Mrs Cocksedge, who retired in July due to ill-health, has helped thousands of children and their families cross the road safely during her 42 years of service.
She was selected as a special representative in the category of Outstanding Service in the council's staff recognition scheme, called Stars, and also won the Overall Winner's Award for 2016.
Mayor of Bexley Eileen Pallen was so impressed with Mrs Cocksedge's story that she sent her car to take her to the special ceremony.
After the event Mrs Cocksedge said: "This afternoon was such a lovely surprise. To see the children outside the school, near my lollipop site, waving their congratulations brought me to tears.
"I have loved every moment of being a lollipop lady. It is simply the best job in the world."
She began work as a School Crossing Patrol in Erith in June 1974 and later moved to Slade Green, and in recent years she has been helping the grandchildren of the children she helped at the start of her career. Her job has involved working in every type of weather imaginable, including the summer of 1976, the Great Storm of 1987 and the freezing winters of 1978 and 1979.
Paul Moore, the council's director of place, communities and infrastructure, said: "Yvonne is an inspiration to us all. She has given an enormous part of her life to ensuring the safety of Bexley children.
"She truly is a Bexley star and I want to thank her most sincerely for her contribution to her community."

Dairy farmers are truly some of the most remarkable people I know. However, take a dairy farmer and put him in a difficult position, and you can see how extraordinary someone like Zach Meck can be.
Zach is a neighbor and good friend that I've had the opportunity to get to know over the last couple of years. In September 2013, he was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer, a devastating finding for anyone, let alone a young, on-the-go Berks County dairy farmer. In the last few months he's undergone treatments, and it's certainly been a challenging time for Zach and his family.
Zach's situation has helped to show me not to take any day for granted, reminding me of the importance of my health, my family and my faith. As I think about Zach and the characteristics that he embodies, a few key words come to mind:
One of Zach's greatest attributes is his passion. Ask him about any subject and he certainly has an opinion on it, but more importantly he is firm in his beliefs and trusts his knowledge and instinct.
Whatever Zach does, he does with all of his heart. It is clear that he loves deeply and lives life fully, letting nothing stand in his way.
Positive attitude
Even in difficult times, Zach has maintained a positive outlook. He's always looking to keep up the momentum, and still has a sense of humor when you'd think that it would be the last thing on his mind.
Zach – thanks for being a great example for all of us to follow. Let's be passionate in our beliefs, persistent in our efforts and positive in our thinking.
Join friends, family and the community at a pancake breakfast on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at Tulpehocken UCC in Richland, Pa. to benefit Zach and his wife, Suzanne. If you are unable to attend, donations may be sent to the church to the attention of Meck Pancake Breakfast.
More importantly, add Zach to your daily thoughts and prayers.

Beauty salon's opening
Decision about the cosmetic equipment which you choose is very important. Your salon's success or failure depends on it. I will try to show you which solutions are the most important and worth of attention. It's an element which has a huge significance.
Beauty salon's equipment – is this only the apparatus?
Of course it's not. Beauty salon's furniture also consists on it. The one which you will choose depends on your individual vision, style and preferences. It's also important, what kind of services do you want to realize. Beauty salon's professional furniture's offer is growing all the time and there is vide choose of it on market. You have to remember that it's worth to buy the highest quality materials and furniture. It's not necessary to buy the equipment from abroad. Our native companies offer a great choice of professional furniture and it is worth to prop up them.
Beauty salon's equipment
If the apparatus is concerned, your choice will be more objective and the answer will be theoretically easier, because you just have to choose the best one.
But what is the best one?
It's hard to say it unequivocally. There are some characteristics which are significant and you should consider it. They are primarily: country of production, security and effectiveness certificates, real treatment's functions, guarantee, service and professional training or price. You should choose the products from our producers. Polish business is well developed and it's really worth to choose from our furniture.
It's worth to look for that kind of propositions which will be indeed the best and they will be satisfactory in your salon. Beauty salon's cosmetic equipment has to be not only practical but also has very high quality and appropriate security certificates. It's key issue, because in point of facts equipment's security is the most important and your future well service depends on it.

Scientific model will help Flint dig up bad water pipes
Gretchen Whitmer said the address will include a "sober assessment" of problems in state government, including outdated computer systems and poor morale. Wochit
FLINT — The city of Flint has agreed to use a scientific model to determine which homes likely have lead or steel water lines as officials try to comply with a 2017 agreement to replace the pipes following the city's lead water crisis.
The updated deal was filed Tuesday but needs a federal judge's approval.
The nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council is concerned about Flint's performance, saying more than 80 percent of excavations in 2018 were at homes with copper pipes. Roughly 8,000 lines have been replaced but thousands remain.
Read more:
Water lines are being replaced as a result of lead-tainted water discovered in 2014. Lead began leaching from pipes after Flint tapped the Flint River for drinking water without properly treating it to reduce corrosion.
The new agreement says Flint will use a model developed by scientists at the University of Michigan and the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Pros and Cons of AWS Lambda
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud computing service that aids a computing infrastructure with a virtualisation environment, network, servers and hardware units. AWS has been started as an initiative to provide a virtualisation environment in addition to resource provisioning which is integrated and provided via online to the third party. It was initially started as an IAAS layer and later had a straight cut growth to Platform as a Service (Paas) which can provide complete assistance for project development with OS and middleware.
Lambda function has been used to attest a function with each datum so as to enhance its context as it transits from one state to another. Put in simple terms, we can scale our image to fit into the window display of smartphones or notebook in a responsive format.
AWS lambda is a serverless architecture that enables you to promote an application purely customised based on the needs of the end user on an event-driven computing platform. Earlier, serverless architectures were used to develop an application that was purely deprived of server-side state and logic.
Here we have an event trigger which is completely aided by Lambda function which provides the service FAAS i.e. Function as a Service, where we break down large monolithic applications to smaller services which are again disintegrated to the level of functions and events.
The prime merit of AWS Lambda is that managing and forwarding RPC calls to remote servers are completely avoided for enhancing computational time optimization.
Lambda function works cooperatively with S3 (Simple Storage as a Service) where cumulative storage is possible.
If you build and manage your own FaaS infrastructure, it is all about optimization of resources that trace back to reduce cost – a major reason to adopt serverless.
- Eager Development
Serverless architecture can be rapidly developed by product engineers. It has alleviated the problems of server crashes. Thus, it needs very less time on operational issues making developers life stress free.
- Operational Management Optimisation
Reduced computational cost and reduced operational management overheads are the added advantages of Automatic scaling functionality of FaaS. Serverless platform segregates the infrastructure services and applications running on top of the OS and middleware. Thus, a completely serverless solution like AWS Lambda will not require system administration.
- Reduction in Operational Costs
The basic merit of this technology is that you only pay for the time your function executes and not for standalone time and uses only resources on demand.
Holding a web-socket connection open for a chatbot for long is one menial task that cannot be done by AWS.
- State
State-full service, which needs a connection-oriented service requires a database and is required to store any data that needs to remain consistent.
- DoS (Denial of Service)
AWS Lambda limits concurrency and jobs in the ready queue may be temporarily sidelined and can undergo starvation leading to deadlocks.
- Execution Duration
AWS Lambda functions are aborted if they run for longer than 5 minutes or a pre-set deadline. There are tasks that run for more than the given limit which may be left unexecuted.
We would like to ponder over your thoughts on serverless architecture and AWS Lambda.
Why We Are Still the Best in Technology Development
Technology is very important when it comes to businesses. Using the right technology can help you meet the demands of your customers. In addition, technology keeps evolving and you need to keep up with this. A new technology might be able to get you more customers. Now as a business, you have other functional aspects to worry about and you cannot be expected to look into the developmental aspects of your business. This is why you should go to aTeamIndia. They have the best tech team. Their top developers specialise in all kinds of latest technologies. Another feature of aTeamIndia that makes them unique is the fact that for each project they use the technology that is appropriate. There goes in a lot of analysis and study into what might be fit for each business. This is done after taking into consideration the needs of their client and also their budget. They also employ the best practices for these technologies. These are as follows:
Angular JS has an MVVM structure, which expands to model view architecture. It provides a strong base for making applications. aTeamIndia makes robust apps with this technology
Node JS
It manages both back end and front end development. Thus, aTeamIndia can handle both and you will not have to hire somebody separately. It also provides you easier scalability
Serverless Stack
'Pay per execution' is the best feature of the serverless stack. You only pay for what you use and it also prevents resources from being idle.
It is the most lightweight framework, which helps you develop web applications very easily. Customisation and configuration are also easy.
Authentication is very important in Laravel and it is easy to implement the authentication system. It makes sure that there is only controlled access.
Symfony is known for reducing the time involved in the development process. It also does not require a comprehensive and extensive code for creating web applications. Thus, aTeamIndia easily delivers projects to him on time.
AWS Lambda
This technology removes all the difficulties involved in cloud computing. You also do not have to manage resources. The service providers will manage it.
This provides you with a very reliable environment. Another major benefit is that the user will have absolute control and regulation of all their virtual servers. You also get the option to choose which operating system you want to run
Vue JS
The great benefit of Vue JS is the size. It is so small that it is very easy for the users to download it.
It is built on express. Thus it has all the more features. It is also very easy to use. This is because it comes with built-in models.
The peculiar feature of Git is that it has branching facilities. Git also provides much reliable performance when compared to other technologies.
This becomes particularly useful when there is a change made to the code. It keeps track of all such changes.
Bot Development
Bot development helps you to avoid all the errors that humans make. It also helps you to cut down on cost, as you will not have to hire human resource.
AWS Engineers for $20/hr from aTeamIndia
With technology being so advanced, there are millions of software developing companies popping up every day. However, there is something that makes aTeamIndia different. Apart from their talent and expertise, they are also preferred because they care for the needs of businesses, both small and big alike. Software development is generally a very expensive affair. There are no companies that can provide you with the best quality services at a reasonable rate. However, not using a technology like AWS or Amazon Web Services is not an option. It is one of the best technologies that has been discovered and has led many businesses into success.
Small businesses can benefit from AWS because it is cost-effective. Since you only pay for what you use, unnecessary expenses like infrastructure cost can be totally avoided. You also do not have to invest in the management or administration of the system. Thus, one can work on running the business and bringing out better projects. Also, cloud computing makes work easier. There are features like document sharing and desktop virtualization, which enables you to work from the cloud itself. It thereby gives you access anywhere and at absolutely anytime. AWS also facilitates effective electronic commerce. Sales and retails solution will not make you spend a lot anymore. AWS comes with the whole package of hosting, order processing, financial transactions, etc. With AWS, you will not have to pay to hire somebody to do this for you. Each order detail is automatically tracked into the inventory. Even if small businesses are not familiar with the functioning of AWS, they will be able to use t efficiently. AWS automatically provides you with the following functions, which leaves you nothing much to worry about.
- Deployment is made easy
- Automatic scaling
- Monitoring the process
- Automatic load balancing.
Storing data is also no longer a hazard. Small businesses churn out a lot of data just like big ones. These can be stored on-site itself. You will not have to pay extra for data management or storing. Migration is also an unavoidable feature. AWS comes with in-built tools for this, which makes the process simple. AWS is flexible on both mobile as well as web devices. They can thereby access their services irrespective of the device. It also helps to make the application more mobile screen friendly. Now security has always been a major concern of businesses shifting to a cloud base. However, AWS has a strong security program that prevents all possible threats. Their data centers are consistently monitored and maintained. They also have an immense backup capability so that you never lose your data. Ultimately, AWS provides you with flexibility, agility, automatic scaling, and security at an affordable rate. Both big and small scale businesses can now benefit from their services.
aTeamIndia are the top AWS engineers. Not every company can apply such technology to a project at a reasonable cost. aTeamIndia does this because their best AWS engineering team adopt the best practices in AWS.
aTeamIndia – Node JS Developers Who Can Solve Complexities
Node JS is a software that is based on JavaScript. Because of this particular feature, developers can code in the same language for frontend and backend. Since it is a single code, it is also universal all across. It has the following unique features:
- I/O model with a non-blocking function
- The single-threaded event loop
- High output
- Scalable application
MongoDB and Express.js are also two important aspects of Node.js.
aTeamIndia provides custom web development. Below are the ways in which the best node development team helps businesses to grow.
They use the function of a rapid minimum viable product, which helps you to bring your product into the market in the shortest span of time. It, later on, gives you an opportunity to work on the project after analyzing the market response. This helps in cost-cutting. For example, sometimes you might invest a lot on a product and it might not work well. But with MVP, you get to test and see what works and what will not work.
aTeamIndia uses many other tools that come along with Node.js and JavaScript for making a robust structure. Thus, it helps the developer, which in turn helps the clients.
Because of the diversity of Node js, aTeamIndia is able to provide many features for their corporate clients. Their client's website is provided with a code that is compatible on several platforms. aTeamIndia also betters the ease of doing things. In short, the applications will be easy to install and also execute. There is one reason why you get high-level development at a reasonable price with aTeamIndia. Node.js has a 'pay as you grow' technique which makes deploying and testing inexpensive. It also becomes simple and easy to develop software systems in real-time.
Like mentioned before, Node.js applications are extremely scalable. This can be attributed to two reasons; firstly, it is asynchronous. Secondly, it has an event-driven processing system. Because of this, they can handle all kinds of heavy traffic, unlike PHP based frameworks that are susceptible to collapse. Node.js also makes custom development a speedy process. This is why aTeamIndia is able to deliver to their clients on time. Node.js has a heap per connection system, which increases the effectiveness of the performance. aTeamIndia's top node developers are able to develop both the client and server-side without having to go back and forth with different technologies. This is because there is a tight coupling between both.
Another great feature is cloud scalability. During rush hours, this helps to scale up the resources and during idle time, it saves resources. Thus, it saves a lot of money. aTeamIndia can also bring in a lot of modifications. This is because Node allows such enhancements. Thus, aTeamIndia has some of the most talented Node js developers in the region. Without such talented and experienced hands, Node is a tough nut to crack. To an inexperienced developer, Node would seem complex. However, to aTeamIndia, it is their playground. Going to aTeamIndia guarantees your success.
ATeamIndia – Are you a Start Up? Try our Serverless Stack
ATeamIndia is widely known for using Serverless technology. Serverless Stack is not any different from an open source framework. It is only a different way of building an app using serverless framework. ATeamIndia is able to reduce the cost and the budget of development projects because of serverless technology. This has made them one of the best serverless developers.
The term "serverless" is mostly used to refer to cloud services or platforms that let developers not be concerned about maintaining a server. The developer need not think about running code according to the requirements of the server. Serverless is also billed based on the usage, that is, one only has to pay for what is used. Functions as a service or (FaaS) is a subsidiary of serverless. It means that it has the power to support rapid execution of individual codes instead of complete applications making it faster. AWS Lambda has proved to be the best serverless option with great capability and using this has helped aTeamIndia to be the top serverless team.
The functional characteristic of its capability is the primary reason as to why serverless technology is being adopted more extensively. It provides a huge range of options for creating applications and systems. These options come together, and FaaS serves as a glue between these options. There is a large amount of scripting that is involved to help with operating the server when a server's operating system is used to host applications. Serverless has effective massive servers to host all the applications and scripting various activities works in this situation as well. Serverless has multiple uses. It is easy to respond differently to different events and constraints in the environment by executing simple codes. All the other benefits can be categorised under this head. It influences business and serves as a platform level guide.
From strictly the business perspective, serverless has manifold benefits. For many companies, delivering applications to the market takes a lot of time and requires overcoming other complications. Other than planning, designing and developing the product, the executives have to decide on capability, setup etc. With serverless, renting and buying infrastructure is no longer a worry. You also do not have to worry about how to set it up or how to do the capacity planning. Serverless will help remove these steps from your development cycle and the serverless platform provider will take care of it. This is what aTeamIndia does. All these significantly reduce the time your product takes to reach the people and the market.
Businesses, particularly startups, mostly need to have a kind of flexibility in your ideas. You might have to change the audience you are targeting. Sometimes this can lead to rethinking the way your applications will be working. With serverless, these sudden changes can be made very easily. Serverless also increases your product flexibility and not just your idea. Serverless helps you to separate your application into many small services that are independent of each other. Thus, it increases the flexibility of your product. ATeamIndia readily applies this technology and all the above features in all of their projects.
First Serverless Stack Team in Trivandrum
You are reading this to find what serverless stack is all about? Yes, you read it right. Serverless technology is all about running code without servers. Your next question will be why anyone would want to run code without servers as they are the most important factor in this modern age of. Well, servers are devices that share resources and computing power over the internet. These devices have a price and must be paid frequently for the service on a contract basis usually monthly or yearly. Therefore, for small-scale as well as large-scale companies, having many server services means that a lot of money is burned monthly. Even if these server resources are used or not, the price has to be paid.
Enter Serverless technology where work can be done without servers.
There are lots of services that provide serverless technologies while AWS Lambda, Azure and Google Cloud are the most popular ones. You are only charged for the time taken to execute your code and the resources that the code needs to complete the execution. It may sound more expensive and complex than the usual methodology but it has cut cost by an average of 40% as per research.
The primary advantage of serverless technology is that you only need to pay as you use the service.
In the case of server rentals, you have to pay the due even if there are lots of server idle times. But in serverless, you only need to pay when you are using the resources. It is as simple as that making serverless technology cost-effective than the usual server services. You also need not bother about the responsibility of maintaining the server.
You only need to pay as per your use.
Another advantage is that serverless technology allows you to easily scale the serverless services. You can use more resources by paying more and you can pay less for lesser resources. You need not waste a lot of time selecting the ideal server with the required size and speed. Additionally, you also save more time as you need not regularly update the server with security and optimization fixes. All these are taken care of by the serverless service providers themselves. The service provider always keeps the server up to date and secure.
Low cost and scalability and the two magic words of serverless stack technologies (Well,three words technically).
Advantages aside, serverless stack is the technology of building full stack serverless applications. You will find it difficult to find and hire serverless stack engineers. This is because serverless stack teams are very difficult to find as it is a new technology. It is only being experimented by the most skilled and experienced developers in the field.
ATeamIndia, the first serverless stack team in Trivandrum, is one of the experts in serverless technologies. In addition to being the best serverless team of Thiruvananthapuram, they are also the first serverless stack team in South India. What are you waiting for? Go serverless and take your business to the next level at aTeamIndia.com.
Hire AWS Resources from India
Amazon Web Services, a comprehensive evolving on-demand computing platform was launched in July 2002. AWS is basically crafted from the internal infrastructure that Amazon.com built to handle its online retail applications. Compute, storage, databases, analytics, and networking are some of the products provided by AWS. Products like mobile developer tools, management tools, IoT, security and enterprise applications are also provided. On a paid subscription basis, the service can be utilised by individuals, companies and governments. With the help of the services provided, organisations are pushed to move faster at lower IT costs and scale.
AWS is one of the first services to bring forth the idea of pay-as- you-go cloud computing model. It aids in providing the user with computing, storage or throughput as required. In addition to powering workloads of storage, warehousing, and archiving, AWS also powers web and mobile applications, game development and data processing. This wide variety of workloads are entrusted to AWS by large enterprises and rapidly developing start-ups.
The services of AWS are provided from dozens of data centres spread across availability zones (AZs) which is different from other technology infrastructure providers. Reliable, affordable, and cost-efficient cloud computing resources are provided by AWS to the customers. The 'autoscaling' tool of AWS provides scale capacity. This is to maintain instant health and performance of specific workload types and applications. Scalable object storage for data backup, archival and analytics is one major service offered by Amazon SimpleStorage Service (S3). But for long-term cold storage, Amazon Glacier is recommended.
Amazon Relational Database Service and a high-performance database called Aurora provides managed database services. As memory data caches for real-time applications, an AWS customer can use Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon DynamoDB. Data analytics can perform business intelligence tasks with the help of Amazon Redshift which offers a data warehouse. A location to monitor and manage migrations from premises to the cloud is provided by AWS Migration Hub. To get a control over a virtual network, an isolated sectionof the AWS cloud is used. In case of an IT specialist, it's done via AWS Direct Connect. The development tools and application services are accessed through the services like AWS Command Line Interface, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon Elastic Transcoder, and much more.
These are only a few of the many services provided by Amazon Web Services. One of the leading Amazon web development team in India is aTeamIndia. All the technical services including management, monitoring, security, governance, big data management and analytics are offered as a pay-as- you-go model. They are available either on a per-hour or per-second basis. India is globally the best place to hire technical support. Therefore, aTeamIndia.com is the best place to go with a one-stop solution to all your problems in aTeamIndia. In addition to AWS, aTeamIndians also specialise in web design, web API service, CMS, web apps, framework, SEO / SEM, e-commerce and live telecasting services. In the case of mobile engineering, the passionate team excels in Android, iOS, Windows Phone, HTML5, CSS 3, JavaScript, JQuery mobile and PhoneGap.
Server Less Technology Partners
India, as per Wiki, The sector has increased its contribution to India's GDP from 1.2% in 1998 to 7.5% in 2012. According to NASSCOM, the sector aggregated revenues of US$160 billion in 2017, with export revenue standing at US$99 billion and domestic revenue at US$48 billion, growing by over 13%. It means this is a booming sector which have high potential to uplift the entire economy in the country.
The major growth factor contributing to this will be from Technology side and most probably the Service Sectors, Which inlude both IT and ITES. As the technology is evolving, the market trends are being disrupted all the way. For instance, the Hosting Solution Providers are one among the major players in the industry. The whole web and related products depended on them and its a major factor deciding the usability of the web products and related services.
The Revenue for such hosting solution providers seems to be a paramount and something which can't be avoided. Hence that revenue stream was uninterrupted for a long way. But Now, the things are completely changing and which disrupt the whole concept which was there for years. The Concept is "Server Less Technology".
This technology put forward the question on Maintaining a Server, when it is not needed?. Yes, Take an example of a website which allows booking only few months a year. So most traffic will be on those months alone and the website may be idle for the rest of the year. But Unfortunately, the website need a standard server to be there all the time , even if they are not used, and need to pay the charges for the maintenance to the hosting provider. The ServerLess Concept disrupt this and no need to manage a server at all because the server instance will be created on the go when the website is accessed. Hence when the website stays idle there is no server existing at all. This in turn reduces the cost of maintaining the server for whole year.
Now you may think how this technology works, Yes its great and next write up will cover the technology pattern behind the process and How and where it can be deployed. As the best ServerLess Engineers, aTeamIndia.com, conducts different meet ups and discussion panels for better understanding of the technology and its advantages.
If you are in need of assistance from AWS & Serverless Technology using AWS Lambda or Looking for Hiring AWS Developers, AWS Lambda Developers, Serverless technology Devs, Please communicate through www.ateamindia.com or Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Why Clients Prefer aTeamIndia?
It may seems like a flattery. But its real. Again comes the question why? Many years back it was the age of consultants and IT Agents across the globes. They will be acting as the traders or trader links connecting the Clients IT Requirement to matching Resources. This system was going good for a while without interruption but when IT products began to serve the day to day activities of the users (Potential Customers), then the plug and play development teams came to end.
A contract based system's reliability depends only on the regulations of the contract. Nothing IN, Nothing OUT. But in today's Agile world, this may not always help. The market change in a rapid speed. Every product need to be ready to accommodate that pace or be ready to be DROWNED. Hence as a solution to this problem, came the concept of "Technical Partners".
For every company right now have a technical partner in house which helps them in the technical curves and ability to adapt to the market changes and customer needs.
aTeamIndia, as a resourceful company , got opportunities to serve as Technical partners for many good players in market including BlackSmith International. This helped us to provide out of box support to the clients from a Technical partner perspective rather than a contract resource house.
Server less Technology with AWS Lambda
The server less technology doesn't means it doesn't have a server. It is a Cloud Computing Execution Model, where the Providers dynamically manages the machine resources as per the needs of the system .
The capacity utilization and resourcefulness can be achieved by the same. From wiki, we can say it as, The name "server less computing" is used because the server management and capacity planning decisions are completely hidden from the developer or operator. Server less code can be used in conjunction with code deployed in traditional styles, such as micro services. Alternatively, applications can be written to be purely server less and use no provisioned services at all.
As the first Professional Team on Server Less Stack, we will be exploring more and give more information on this Blog post.

Hi Lumberjocks,
This is our first ever project that we publish and we hope that you will like it. The idea came from John's Family when he was asked to change an old wine barrel that they had into a planter for his mother. We decided to record and videotape our project and after a lot of discussions and some research this is what we ended up doing:
1) We Marked where the opening of the flowers should be.
2) We then Secured with screws the metal rings so they would not fall off when we would cut them.
After screwing the first screw without opening a small hole, we noticed that the head of the screw did not look nice bumping out and decided to make small openings for the screws to fit perfectly.
3) Then we cut the metal rings so we would have a clean opening for the flowers.
4) Next, we needed to make holes so the jigsaw could cut the wood plates.
5) Next came the cleaning of the inside of the barrel. We needed to clean it thoroughly because later we would need to apply a water sealant.
6) We then sanded all the wood surfaces. This became a real challenge for us due to the very small spacing between the metal rings. At the end, we started using whatever we could find to finish the job. It turned out that the best solution for these small spaces was the angle grinder with a metal polishing disk on! Be very careful though, this tool sands heavily into the wood and if you don't use it lightly you will end up sanding a very large portion of the wood. Something else we noticed as we were using it, was that if we left it longer to one part of the wood the wood start to overheat and burn. So again, be very careful!
7) With the same metal polishing disk we sanded the metal rings till all the old corrosion was gone and then we used a plastic-metal sander to polish the metal and remove any rough spots. It took some time, but it was worth the effort.
8) Finally, it was Painting time! We used a beech tree glossy wood varnish to come up with the best effect. We painted 2 hands, but depending on the state of the wood of the barrel you might need to apply 3 hands or more. In any case, make sure you allow plenty of time between hands, so you can see how the wood is reacting in every hand.
For the metal rings, we used a mat finish metal varnish. This protects the metal rings from the elements and assures that your hard work cleaning and polishing the metal will remain unaffected for a long time.
8) We let the varnishes dry and then used a water sealant for the interior of the barrel. We applied a very thick coat as that way we would avoid any serious rotting problems in the future. Better safe than sorry!
9) Finally, we created a suitable stand for the barrel. We used parts from its previous stand which was a double triangle base. We also added wheels so we could move it around.
And that was it! The new Planter was ready! We hope you enjoyed this project and we look forward to hearing from you through your comments, remarks and thoughts. Please remember though, we are new at this so take it easy with us ;-)
Below you can find a link to our video published at Youtube.

Tesla Gigafactory Expansion Allegedly On Hold as Panasonic Ponders the Future
Tesla and Panasonic both have a vested interest in the achievement of Gigafactory, the EV automaker's committed battery plant. And, with ground having broken on another Gigafactory at Shanghai in January which will construct cars, today's probably not the perfect time for reports which Panasonic could have toes that are cold. Tesla and Panasonic have frozen plans to enlarge Nevada's Gigafactory, and Panasonic will also halt its investment at the Shanghai Gigafactory, the Nikkei Asian Review reports, citing sources knowledgeable about the issue. Nikkei's report asserts that it is now too dangerous to make big investments such as those mentioned, blaming the pause on both lean operating margins in the market and EV earnings which are performing below plans.
Neither company appears especially worried about anything. Reuters reports that Panasonic said that it was analyzing further investments in Gigafactory, while Tesla stated it believed more output might be obtained from its present resources than previously thought. The report of Nikkei stated that Panasonic has suffered more than 20 billion yen in losses, due in part to Model 3 generation delays. Neither Tesla nor Panasonic instantly returned roadshow request for comment. Gigafactory 1, the website at Nevada, is a JV with $4.5 billion behind it to date. Panasonic builds the cylindrical battery cells themselves, while Tesla organizes these cells to battery packs before installing them from vehicles at its Fremont center.
The expansion, that was supposed to be performed by 2020 based on Nikkei, would have bumped at yearly battery capacity in 35 hours to 54. The two companies signed an agreement in 2009. Shanghai's Gigafactory, referred to as Gigafactory 2, expects to build batteries and cars for neighborhood markets, eliminating the frustrating shipping process that Tesla currently endures to send its vehicles to The Middle Kingdom. Gigafactory 2 will not be a very simple JV between only Tesla and Panasonic, though, it is allegedly working to secure additional provider arrangements to guarantee the mill can run at its anticipated full clip.
The first quarter of 2019 was a mixed bag for Tesla. The car manufacturer built 77, 100 vehicles in Q1, an overwhelming majority of that were Model 3s, a vast improvement over previous amounts. At the same time, deliveries were down compared to Q4 2018. Whilst it was still a year over year improvement, Tesla blamed long deliveries to China and Europe for the reduce delivery figure. The car manufacturer is working on enhancing its delivery process, and the Chinese Gigafactory will play a significant part in reducing these stressors.

Credit score and the 7 deadly sins
Credit score. It's kind of a big deal. It is the barometer that reflects whether or not borrowers' access better deals on loans, mortgages, or even mobile phone contracts. Loan experts love to push the idea of improving credit score before submitting an application. But everywhere we read, it seems...Read More

Take a step back into the Laura Ashley archive with us to find out more about our work with punk royalty… read more
Here at Laura Ashley we love going back in time to the archive to find out more about the history of brand and to learn about exciting imagery that was created but might now be long forgotten. Did you know we once worked with The Clash and Viv Albertine from the Slits to produce some rather edgy and unexpected photos? Well, sit back and read more about this rather unlikely collaboration…
Back in 1976 when Jane Ashley (Laura Ashley's daughter) was working as the company photographer she asked her friends from her time studying Art at Hammersmith College to model the latest Laura Ashley collections. Those friends later became some of the biggest names in punk; Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of The Clash and Viv Albertine from the Slits. Shot at The Clash's rehearsal studios in Camden and the surrounding area, their rehearsal space at this time was a disused railway warehouse. The fashion shown in the shots is proper vintage Laura Ashley with smock dresses, puff sleeves and petticoats.
Jane Ashley first met Viv Albertine in 1974 at the art college they were both attending, it was also around this time that they met Mick Jones who was also studying art at Hammersmith College. Many of the people that would shape Punk went to art school at this time, it was seen as the place to go, a place where creativity and self expression were accepted and encouraged, it's no surprise that Punk bands formed in this environment and gained support playing in the student unions.
Although considered a bit too risqué for the 70s customer, back in 2011 Laura Ashley created a back and white wallpaper print called Pimlico (named after the location of our first store) that actually featured some of these iconic images and although it's not sold anymore it still represents an interesting aspect of our history.
Did you ever see our Pimlico Wallpaper ? Let us know your thoughts about these striking images below or on Twitter @LauraAshleyUK

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro is giving practical examples of what happens when a democratically-elected government implements dictatorship-era practices. How is oblivion defined and what happens when it becomes a trigger for remembrance?
Bolstered by the Amnesty Law enacted in 1979 and which remains effective to date, Bolsonaro taunted Felipe Santa Cruz, President of the Brazilian Bar Association and the son of Fernando Santa Cruz, who was disappeared during the dictatorship in 1974. According to Bolsonaro, Santa Cruz was killed by a militant left-wing group. "If one day the president of the OAB wants to know how his father disappeared in the military period, I will tell him. He will not want to hear the truth."
Brazil's National Truth Commission states otherwise. According to testimony, Santa Cruz was detained in Rio de Janeiro, tortured, killed and disappeared along with other political prisoners.
Bolsonaro is not alone in promoting the false narrative of dictatorship opponents turning against each other. In Chile, the dictatorship targeting of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) between 1974 and 1975, known as Operación Colombo, was concealed through a heavily publicised media narrative of militant in-fighting and purging of their ranks.
To prevent further questioning about Santa Cruz's disappearance by the Special Commission of the Political Dead and Missing (CEMDP), Bolsonaro fired four out of seven members of the commission, replacing them with pro-dictatorship representatives. The committee was enacted in December 1995 and it has so far encountered 480 cases of forced disappearances during the dictatorship.
A 2014 report by Brazil's National Truth Commission identified over 400 individuals killed and disappeared by the dictatorship, as well as over 375 dictatorship agents by name. Yet the 1979 Amnesty Law has prevented prosecution and conviction of the perpetrators.
Former CEMDP President Eugenia Augusta Gonzaga declared Bolsonaro's disruption of the organisation's work as retaliation for defending the facts known so far regarding Santa Cruz's disappearance.
For all Bolsonaro's rhetoric of refusing to dig up the past, it is clear, however, that the government is promoting a selective oblivion – one that refutes dictatorship crimes while glorifying the dictatorship network. Days after the insults directed at Santa Cruz, Bolsonaro praised Colonel Alberto Brilhante Ustra as "a national hero". The National Truth Commission has attributed 45 disappearances to Ustra's period as head of military intelligence.
Brazil's right-wing defines Bolsonaro's actions as a rewriting of the historical narrative. Yet, defining the dictatorship as a process which saved the country from communism is a clichéd statement that has been regurgitated by dictatorships in Latin America.
It must be remembered that the US promoted this neoliberal narrative, mostly prominent in the case of Chile when it was feared that Salvador Allende's Unidad Popular would trigger a wave of revolutionary socialism through democratic elections. In the words of Henry Kissinger, "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist because of the irresponsibility of its own people."
Ongoing US influence in the region, as well as the failure to utilise the democratic transition following dictatorships as the means to restore justice, have left people vulnerable to prolonged human rights violations. However, Bolsonaro's calls for oblivion under democracy sets a dangerous, although not unique precedent, as regards protecting state actors by withholding information, debasing victims' experiences and testimony, as well as strangling Brazil's quest for justice and collective memory.
However, the call for oblivion as demonstrated by Bolsonaro also has gaps that must be expounded upon. There is a contradiction in exalting dictatorship practices while refuting the ramifications of torture, extermination and disappearance. Reports have confirmed human rights violations. Had there been no crimes against humanity and the intent to replicate such crimes within a purportedly democratic period, there would be no calls for oblivion. Instead of focusing on the latter as an imposition, it is imperative that oblivion is used as the catalyst for mobilisation of Brazil's collective memory.

If you have a small house with a cement yard, you can decorate it in several different ways. You can add a beautiful flowerbed, enhanced landscape, or create an area with wood furniture that brings beauty and lightness to your outdoor space. All the more if you are looking to save money then you are at the right place.
Cement or concrete is a compelling natural element that you can use for various purposes. However, first, you have to define what you want in your yard or garden. Once done you can then bet on raw materials to make a wall, bench, pathway, cacti bed, or even a wall with mosaic.
Let's start with a beautiful white pebble bed. Here the color green gives a touch of life to the gray wall. The advantage of cement is that you can create different elements with extended durability.
Here is another example of how to create a wall of burnt cement and a beautiful cactus bed. You will practically have no work after finishing the project with regards to its maintenance.
In this proposal, the concrete wall received a colorful strip which gives life to the garden. It is a cheap and straightforward idea. If you know a friend who loves art, then lend your space, so that they can creatively decorate the area.
Another way to make your yard look splendid is by investing in a fountain. You can incorporate it into the cement wall along with different potted plants.
Here we have a practical and economical idea in the form of potted plants. Also, they can be combined with the bed and the wall. The material is inexpensive and easy to find in landscaping store.
If your yard is cemented, then break up stretches of the ground to create a path with black pebbles. The visual impact is always right because the contrast that is created is beautiful.
If you have an ugly gray wall, then you can insert different sizes of wooden shelves to create a lovely vertical garden.
With a very discreet style, the burnt cement leaves a robust appearance in the external area. It is excellent for those seeking a modern decoration that matches the tone of wooden furniture.
An idea with low cost is to use concrete or cement, preferably for the walls and different vessels. You will see how the gray gains a touch of life in harmony with the vegetation.
Here the final image is a concrete wall that contrasts with the green of the vegetation.

GT Regional Airport Doing Record Business
STARKVILLE – Courtesy of The Dispatch
Golden Triangle Regional Airport Director Mike Hainsey recently spoke to the Starkville Rotary Club, where he told them that the airport has been doing record business: "Last month, we put more people on airplanes than any other October in the history of the airport," he said. "That was a big number — we were running 90 percent full. … This month, we're doing the same, which means we'll have another record month. We'll have a record November, if it continues."
The airport, has done about $3.5 million in improvements in the last 18 months. Hainsey said that the improvements include work on the commercial and general aviation ramps, as well as a taxiway renovation that should finish this week. GTRA is also replacing old ramp and terminal lightning with more modern, energy efficient lights.
A 4,000 sq ft expansion is also in the works:"Our plan for the future is, as the airport grows, we'll have bigger airplanes and we'll need jet bridges so we'll move everything upstairs," he said.
He did note, however, that a shortage of pilots for the major airlines is likely to cause business to suffer in the future – especially for GTR and other smaller, regional airports: "This is, for us in the business, the single biggest threat to air service at my airport," Hainsey said.
While airports are able to offer incentives to get more flights coming through them, the issue isn't that, so much as the fact that the pilot population is dwindling as more and more pilots reach the mandatory pilot retirement age of 65. "They told me they have no new markets out of Dallas this next year," he said. "They don't know if they can man their existing markets. They can't grow if they can't — until it's sure what's going to happen with the pilot shortage. It's getting that bad."
"The bottom line on all this–for us to get air service, we have to take it from someone else," he said. " … For us to get air service, we'll have to convince the airlines they'll make more money at GTR than they will at other places. So we're working that. We have a good case."

Every year, our cost of living rises – and this is a fact of which many of us are aware. Energy bills rise from year to year, for instance, and if you aren't careful, your energy and utility bills could very well be a significant expense in the years to come. But there is some good news on the horizon – there are now more renewable energy sources available to the ordinary household in the UK, one of which is solar power. Solar power is renewable since the energy you get is from the sun, and it's a sustainable source of energy as well. There are more and more reasons why consumers are investing in solar panel systems, and so should you. If you are still debating whether to invest in a solar installation or not, here are the true benefits of solar panels you didn't know about.
· Help you save on your bills
As already mentioned, energy bills are rising as our sources of energy dwindle at the same time. But the same isn't true with solar power – it's energy that is virtually endless since the energy comes from the sun. When you install a solar PV system in your UK home, one of the most obvious and instant benefits is savings on your energy bills. The more energy you produce with your solar panel installation, the less energy you have to buy from your provider, and this can give you savings of as much as 50% every year.
· Earn extra money via the Tariff system
The government has come up with the popular Feed-In Tariff scheme, which allows you to earn extra money when you produce more energy than your household needs. Of course, your installation needs to qualify for the scheme first, but one of the best ways you can be eligible is if your solar PV installation is done by an installer who is accredited with the MCS, such as installers like Atlantic Renewables who are well known for their expertise in solar panels in Manchester and the surrounding areas. Payments from the Feed-In Tariff are made by the government every quarter andare based on every kilowatt-hour of energy you sell back to the grid. The Feed-In Tariff is calculated on a yearly basis as well, depending on the Retail Price Index or RPI.
· A cheaper investment today
There was a time when solar panel installations were quite a significant investment, but the same isn't the case today. Today, thanks to more manufacturers and producers and installers competing against each other to provide more competitive prices, homeowners and consumers can take advantage of much lower prices for a standard solar PV installation or system. You'll be glad to know that compared to just a few years ago, the cost of a typical installation has already gone down by as much as 50%.
· Increase the value of your property
If you would like to sell your home or property in the future, potential buyers will consider a solar panel installation a good feature; it definitely adds value to your property, so you can sell it for a better price if and when the time comes.

OSAKA – Shinkansen services resumed normal operations Thursday morning following wide disruptions due to a Wednesday power outage that affected at least 50,000 passengers, including 1,500 people who stayed in train cars overnight.
According to JR Tokai and JR West, the outage, which began at around 7:55 p.m., forced the cancellation of 29 trains and caused delays for 144 trains between Kyoto and Hakata stations.
JR Tokai said it found and fixed a severed overhead power line in Takatsuki, Osaka Prefecture at around 1 a.m. Thursday. The company said it was looking into why the line, which has a diameter of 1.5 cm, was cut. JR Tokai periodically checks and replaces the lines as they wear out from contact with the pantographs of high-speed trains.
Damage to overhead power lines caused outages between Shinagawa and Odawara stations on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line in 2010 and near Koriyama Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line in 2015. Both cases led to major disruptions.
JR Tokai allowed 1,500 passengers who had no way to get home or reach their destinations to stay overnight in shinkansen trains at Tokyo, Nagoya and Shin-Osaka stations.
At Shin-Osaka Station after 1 a.m. Thursday, a passenger complained to a JR agent about the disruption, which forced him to miss his last local train home.
Another passenger, a 46-year-old woman from Osaka's Izumiotsu, stayed overnight on a train at Shin-Osaka Station. "I was stuck on the train and couldn't go home as I missed my last train (from Shin-Osaka)," the woman said.
Kiyoshi Morita, 54, was in a long line of people waiting for taxis at Kyoto Station in the early hours of Thursday.
"The sun might rise before I can get a taxi," said Morita, who was trying to get home to the city of Joyo.
A 36-year-old passenger whose train stopped due to the outage said his train car went dark except for backup lights. He said an announcement was made asking people not to smoke because the ventilation system was offline.
He said other passengers seemed annoyed by the delay, letting out audible sighs.
"Everybody looked tired," he said.

As we age the skin loses collagen and elasticity and starts to sag, creating an aged appearance and inevitable wrinkles and lines. We lose volume in the cheeks and temples resulting in a flatter and hollow appearance and the lips become thinner and less defined. A Non-Surgical Facelift, also known as the 'Y lift,' makes it possible to gently lift the entire face without any invasive surgical procedures or scarring that is usually associated with a traditional facelift.* It offers many of the benefits of traditional facelift surgery, without the need for any recovery time.* A Non-Surgical Facelift involves injections of dermal fillers into the skin in order to restore volume, helps restore the old structure, and removes various lines and wrinkles.
If you want a facelift, but don't want to go under the knife, a liquid facelift by Dr. Doumit is the solution. It is a powerful anti-aging procedure to help boost the youthfulness and vitality of your skin without the need for surgery and recovery time.* Dr. Doumit makes sure that every Non-Surgical Facelift is tailored to each patient's personalized needs and a natural looking appearance is achieved. Some of the many benefits you can accomplish with a Non-Surgical Facelift include*:
After a thorough consultation with Dr. Doumit, during which your goals and expectations will be fully addressed, the procedure will begin. Cleansing of the area to be treated will be completed, then a numbing cream will be applied. This ensures the injections administered by Dr. Doumit will only cause minor discomfort.
Then tiny ultrafine needles will be used to inject small amounts of a combination of dermal fillers and optional muscle relaxants such as Botox® or Dysport® to add volume to the face, fill wrinkles, smooth fines lines and restore vitality. During the procedure, you are fully awake. You hold a mirror and you can monitor the progress. The procedure generally takes about 45 minutes, though it depends on the amount of injections involved in order to get the desired appearance.
No recovery time is required after dermal filler treatment and you can return to day-to-day activities immediately following your treatment. You may experience some slight swelling or bruising to the area being injected but it typically doesn't last longer than 48 hours.
Results from the Non-Surgical Facelift are usually noticeable immediately after treatment.* You will have healthier and more youthful skin with reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is very common for patients who have had Non-Surgical Facelift with Dr. Doumit to say that they receive compliments on their appearance without others knowing that they have done anything.*
The results can vary from person to person and based upon what injectable products are used. In general, the results can last at least six months to as long as 2 years. The results are often natural and improve naturally over the span of several weeks as the body is able to up its collagen production.*
Are you looking to turn back the clock without going under the knife, call today for a consultation with Dr. Doumit to find out more about the Non-Surgical Facelift.
*Disclaimer: Patients results can vary from one to the other depending on multiple factors.
