I get asked for video recording advice a lot – usually at business networking meetings when someone learns that I teach mobile video skills.
This morning was one such example.
The businessman I was talking to runs a document management company, and he said he gets great testimonials from people with examples of how his document management system helps companies retrieve and store their important documents easily and safely.
Video testimonials would be great, he said – I agreed. Video is so powerful in capturing and retaining attention particularly on social media.
But how difficult are they? he asked.
To which I responded, as I usually do – it depends.
It depends on how much you want to put in the video and how long you want it to be.
Oh a few questions and a few answers, he said.
I suggested he use the motto I use in my own videos, and at my training workshops: keep it simple. Particularly if you are a beginner, and not used to it – keep your video recordings simple i.e. short, one question and one answer, so they can be trimmed easily at each end on the phone.
So here's the tips I gave this morning and now sharing with you.
#Tip 1
Go through with your client what you would like them to say.
#Tip 2
Suggest they keep it short – one or two sentences at most.
#Tip 3
suggest to the client that they say 3 points in one sentence – e.g. I worked with X company, they made a huge difference by doing Y, and we highly recommend them.
#Tip 4
Rehearse it with them, but just once or twice.
#Tip 5
Ensure your phone is steady and you are capturing the light and sound well.
#Tip 6
Record it twice, so you have two versions and choose the best one.
And that's it!

BRANDON, S.D. (KELO) — Around here, farming isn't just financial. It's about family, and that's worth its weight in gold for the three generations of Cherry Rock Farms. You probably know the Brandon farm, because its crops probably end up on your table throughout the year.
Now we're introducing you to six of the hands that plant them.
Planting season means David Picasso has a lot of seeds to get into the ground. Tuesday is also his 71st birthday.
"It's getting pretty old," Picasso said.
He can't help but feel young when he's got his most prized sprouts behind his tractor. Not the plants; his son, Marco, and grandson, Carson.
Brady Mallory: What is the best thing your grandpa has ever taught you?"
Carson: "How to transplant."
If you're not familiar, let Carson give you a lesson to learn.
"You take the plant and put it in and it drops down into these fingers and puts it into the ground," Carson Patzer said.
The Picasso family has been farming in the area for nearly 100 years. That's now five generations. Carson is the latest generation to learn the ropes, to someday carry on his dad's work and his grandpa's legacy.
"I'm working for those guys. Trying to pass on my knowledge," David said.
"We take, you know, a lot of pride in this place obviously and to see my kids following right along and getting their hands dirty and get right in the mix, it's fun to see," Marco Patzer, Carson's dad, said.
"I think it's really cool," Carson said.
Being out here with his grandson is especially meaningful for David. He remembers being his age and working the fields with his dad and grandpa.
"When you look back and see the generations coming up, it's a nice feeling," David said.
Down the line, Carson hopes to hand over the tractor to his children.
"I was hoping the generations would keep going on so this farm could keep going on," Carson said.
There's a lot of work to get done, but David Picasso couldn't ask for a better birthday present than spending the day with his son and grandson.
"They have a pretty good relationship. They get along real well," Marco said.
This farmer will tell you there's nothing like planting seeds for the future and watching them grow.
"When you start getting older, again, you start thinking about actually what's going to happen to them, because you know, time passes. The big thing is we can keep this farm successful as a small business and pass it on," David said.

We're going to do a quick demonstration on how to update SANE to the latest release. This is the underlying software and related drivers for utilizing a variety of scanners on GNU/Linux. These directions were developed and intended primarily for customers who have purchased a scanner from us that are on Ubuntu or derivative distribution/release for which does not yet include support out of the box.
As of this writing this would mean any Canon 300 or 400 series scanner. The directions are mostly applicable to users of Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, 19.10, Trisquel 8, Linux Mint 19, and/or any distribution based off Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10, or 19.04. Following these directions is most likely not required on distributions or releases newer than this as they will already contain a sufficently recent version of SANE (1.0.28 or newer).
Check out our video demonstration of these directions.
Open a terminal and run the following commands (Go to Activities and search for Terminal or find it via the menu system if your distribution has this):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libsane sane-utils simple-scan
scanimage --version
sudo adduser `whoami` lp
sudo adduser saned lp
Before you continue make sure that your scanner is unlocked. Most if not all new scanners are locked to protect them in transit and a latch to unlock them will need to be flipped in order for scanning to work. Otherwise you will likely get confusing error messages following the steps below.
After rebooting connect your scanner and open Simple Scan (either search for it by clicking on Activities and then selecting the icon or find it through your distributions menu system).
You will need to click on the three bars (this may differ depending on the distribution and version) and go to Preferences. If everything is connected and the printer is on you should see your scanner listed under the Scanner drop down menu.
Under the quality tab you will need to set the Text & Photo Resolutions to something that your scanner supports. At the time of this writing we demonstrated scanning at a resolution of 300 dpi.
Once you have done this you can hit the Scan button to make your first scan.

Unfortunately now no further quoted teenage celebrities to talk about them and their provocation. If Miley Cyrus with her twerk, Rihanna is naked on Instagram or Rita Ora celebrating the most provocative, no one seems to stop them. The teen stars are not afraid to offend, to shock and even found in the challenge of getting the provocation being the youngest . But then, these stars are going too far, especially in a fairly conservative country like the U.S.? Parents of children begin to worry about the behaviors that do not support. Netmums a British site dedicated to moms, a study showing that parents fear the bad influence spilling over their children. In fact , of the 1,500 parents surveyed , 80 % say they have heard their children singing provocative lyrics without knowing its real meaning.
This challenge is also reflected in the costumes that these girls wear . They love hearing about themselves and their clothes are obviously short , necklines , scalloped , transparent … better. They want the paparazzi take pics of them, but also transmit images to the public to see if their style "original" . Each output preview , ride at night, so it is an opportunity to reveal the eccentricity of their wardrobe and " sensuality" .
However, these girls are minor, some are still under the responsibility of Mom and Dad. However, it is more to dress sexy , even more sexy. More importantly, these young adolescents tend to dress like getting younger . While only a few years ago , Miley Cyrus was still this brunette Hannah Montana with her western look and comforters. Currently shown with low necklines, fishnet stockings, tight bodies as the one dressed in the night of the MTV European Music Awards. Let us also remember the famous photo shoot in collaboration with photographer Terry Richardson. The photographs in question, even bordering on pornography. You can see the singer topless and wearing only a mesh that barely covers her intimacy.
Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez , two other Disney stars , do not hesitate to dress sexy. The first had also been voted "the sexiest teen … 2010 ! " Obviously, as beauty is not gone too much and loves to post pictures of her frequent enough in social networks. The Muse of Adidas, Selena Gomez has the same principles, the teenager likes to provoke. She wore a cleavage in the November 7 launch party in Hollywood of Flaunt Magazine . It is a magazine for which she also posed in a very sensual session . Her dress is very suggestive signed Cushnie et Ochs , who was accompanied by a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes in tip . A totally dark and sexy.
In young stars, there is also the category of " son / daughter" . This is for example the case of Lily Collins, a young woman of 24 years and daughter of Phil Collins. During the night, the beautiful actress has appeared in a light and slim straps satin dress, which looks more like a nightgown evening dress. Meanwhile, the actress Dakota Fanning is starting to show that the top of her 16 years, is no longer a smart girl. The beautiful blonde has shared the stage for "The Runaways " with Kristen Stewart and revealed her sexy side. As one of his characters smoke and drink , it seems that wearing a sexy lingerie set. Even if it is the effects of the film, the actress angelic melodies were taken quickly … Now seems like a sexy young woman degraded only 16 years. But all these celebrities, are they really ready to pick the image that will continue in spite of themselves ? We think so , because they love to play with this, and with their audience.

Thank you to our trusty Life members and a wonderfully supportive parish for putting on a fantastic fundraiser for Life during the weekend of 26 and 27 January.
Attending all masses over the weekend, one on Saturday evening and three on Sunday morning, one of our Link Three volunteers was a superb Life ambassador.
She shared the mission and caring work of Life to parishioners. Through an increased understanding of Life's invaluable services mass goers then gave very generously to our work.
Over the weekend the parishioners donated £573.04 – we could not be more grateful! Our services rely heavily on your donations – thank you!
Not only do donations flow generously when people hear about our what Life does but opportunities always arise for people in need to benefit from our services. We're very grateful to those priests and parishes that welcome Life to their churches. Our volunteer said:
It is a wonderful gift a priest gives us when he offers us a Life Sunday. We have a captive audience who will dutifully listen to our talk.
I truly think the priest is the man of the moment here, who recognises that our charity can help in so many ways, and makes sure his congregation can learn of our attributes.
The priest at his discretion can offer a second collection for our charity, and this too is very welcome.
A huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers who organise and deliver these Life Sundays and also to the priests for welcoming us. We're so grateful to have such dedicated supporters who put in so much for Life and the cause!
All in all, these conversations need to keep happening!
Keep talking!
Keep being wonderful ambassadors for our caring, positive, kind way forward.

US to deny citizenship to immigrants who use public benefits
WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — The Administration of US President Donald Trump announced Monday new rules that aim to deny permanent residency and citizenship to migrants who receive food stamps, Medicaid and other public welfare.
The change threatens to set back the citizenship hopes of millions of mostly Hispanic migrants who work for low wages and depend in part on public services to get by.
It also appeared to close the door for impoverished and low-skilled migrants outside the country hoping to legally obtain a foothold in the United States.
Announcing a new definition of the long-standing "public charge" law, the White House said hopeful migrants will not be granted resident visas if they are likely to need public assistance.
In addition, those already here and using public services will not be able to obtain green cards or US citizenship.
"To protect benefits for American citizens, immigrants must be financially self-sufficient," Trump said in a White House statement.
The ruling could impact many of the 22 million non-citizen legal residents of the country and the estimated 10.5 million unauthorised immigrants, most long-term residents in both groups.
It immediately was thrown into question by pro-migrant activists planning to sue and from Democrats in Congress who said they would fight it.
"This Administration scapegoats immigrants, emboldens white supremacists, and tears families apart. This is racist policy. We will continue fighting to #ProtectFamilies," tweeted Representative Donna Shalala.
The White House said "large numbers" of migrants "have taken advantage of our generous public benefits — limited resources that could otherwise go to vulnerable Americans".
It said half of all non-citizen households include at least one person using Medicaid, the government-run health programme, and that 78 per cent of households led by a non-citizen with no more than a high school education use at least one welfare programme.
"Through the public charge rule, President Trump's Administration is reinforcing the ideals of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, ensuring that immigrants are able to support themselves and become successful here in America," said Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

In case you've never noticed before (and who could blame you?), there are only four colours passports come in - yes, just four.
That's because countries the world over use one of four factories to create these important documents, meaning stock is limited when it comes to colours and materials, and regulations are tight for new designs. After all, a passport needs to be functional and coherent across different cultures, so new and fancy embellishments are unusual.
"Passport production is a highly controlled process, and only few companies around the world are doing it," Hrant Boghossian, the vice president of marketing at the interactive passport database Passport Index told Business Insider. The materials used for passport covers is "usually supplied by a third party" and therefore "only comes in certain colour variations to meet the required standards."
Red, blue, black and green are the limited colours used, and each passport needs to comply with international standards. Although there are only four colours, varying shades are available and there's often a reason why a country goes with the colour it does.
Red passport
Burgundy and red is commonly used by members of the European Union (EU) and "some could argue that the burgundy red is due to a past communist history," Hrant says. China and Russia both use a burgundy passport. However the Swiss passport is bright red, as a symbol of the national colour rather than an EU membership. Colour can also play a political role, as Hrant details: "the passport of Turkey has changed to burgundy, in hope to join the EU." The Swedish passport is also red and, side note, in 2013 was one of the most frequently sold passports on the black market.
Green passport
"Most Islamic states use green passports because of the importance of the colour in their religion," Hrant explained. Prophet Muhammad's favourite colour is supposedly green, which makes it "a natural fit for Islam and the Middle East." Many African countries also have green passports, but the natural colour is not limited to that continent. Shades range from the bright leaf green of Vanuatu to the forest shade of Mexico.
Blue passport
Blue is the most popular passport colour, and is generally used by "newer" nations such as Australia, Canada and the United States. Blue is also used by members of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (Caricom) and is popular in Oceania. Australia uses a dark navy tone, while Fiji has a bright, sky blue colour. Countries in the CA-4 Treaty (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru) use the Central American passport format, joining Nicaragua and El Salvador in a uniform design and a blue cover.
Black passport
Black is the most uncommon colour, and is only used by 10 countries worldwide. New Zealand uses black as it's its national colour, but for some countries it might be a simple case of practicality because black is less likely to show damage.

State of the Union 2017: Commission presents strategy for a smart, innovative and sustainable industry
The Commission today presented a renewed EU Industrial Policy Strategy for a world leading industry in innovation, digitisation and decarbonisation. Industry is at the heart of the Juncker Commission's political priorities since the beginning of the mandate. Now the Commission brings together all horizontal and sector-specific initiatives to support industry into a comprehensive strategy. The strategy announces new initiatives in the areas of circular economy, mobility, intellectual property, public procurement, skills and sustainable finance, in addition to the proposals on trade, investment screening, cybersecurity and data announced by President Juncker in his State of the Union address on 13 September. It also clarifies the tasks ahead for all actors involved and sets out the fora – an annual Industry Day, the first edition of which took place in February 2017, and a High Level Industrial Roundtable – that will allow in particular industry and civil society to steer industrial policy actions in the future. For more information on today's Industrial Policy Strategy see related press release, factsheets on the Strategy and Key Commission initiatives and stockshots on European industry. The press conference with Vice-President Katainen and Commissioner Bieńkowska held today in Brussels can be watched on EbS.
Juncker Plan supports agriculture project in Bulgaria as EIB opens office in Sofia
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a loan agreement in Bulgaria with Oliva AD, the leading sunflower and oil producer and grain trader in the country. The company will use the loan to finance the construction of a new sunflower oilseed production plant and storage and logistics facilities in the Beloslav municipality near Varna. This agreement is supported by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the core part of the Investment Plan for Europe, or so-called Juncker Plan. The EIB also opened a new office in Sofia today, which will help provide local, targeted assistance for project promoters and small businesses looking for investment. Commissioner for Agriculture, Phil Hogan, said: "I welcome the EIB's commitment to targeting EU investment to the agri-food sector. This is a growth sector with massive potential to contribute more to job creation and growth with smart, tailored investment. I encourage any and all agri-food operators with a suitable investment plan to make contact with the EIB to investigate what options may be open to them." (For more information see the new and updated website, which has the latest data about EFSI financing including results for all countries, material such as stories about small businesses that have benefitted from the EFSI, and all the latest news.

Pricing & Estimates
While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our price estimates, the costs associated with diagnostic testing and medical care vary, depending on the medical needs and circumstances of the individual.
Since we can't anticipate all the charges associated with a course of treatment, we can't determine the exact total cost of a procedure in advance. As a result, the final bill may differ from the estimate provided. El Camino Hospital makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy of the pricing information posted here and shall not be held liable for any inaccuracies.
How We Obtain Our Estimates
We obtain data from the most recent year to determine pricing on our most common procedures and inpatient stays. The estimates provided include only charges related to your hospital bill. Doctors and other clinicians who provide services will bill you separately. These may include separate bills from:
- Anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists.
- Independent lab and radiology services — those not directly associated with El Camino Hospital, but which may be used by your doctor.
If you have questions about those bills, please call the telephone numbers on their statements for assistance.
Out-of-Pocket Expense Estimates
The portion of your bill that's your responsibility is commonly referred to as your out-of-pocket expense, which varies from person to person and depends on individual insurance policies.
Request a Confidential Estimate
El Camino Hospital can provide you with a free, confidential estimate for any diagnostic test or medical procedure performed at the hospital, including tests and procedures not listed on our website.
You can request an estimate using our online request form or by:
- Calling an El Camino Hospital patient pricing representative at 650-988-8275.
- Emailing us at email@example.com.
Please allow two business days for a response.
A Description of Hospital Charges
A hospital charge description master, also known as a chargemaster or CDM, contains the prices of all services, goods, and procedures for which a separate charge exists. It is used to generate a bill to a hospital patient or a patient's health insurance provider. In compliance with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule (CMS-1694-F), the El Camino Hospital CDM is provided below. This document is also available at the El Camino Hospital Health Library and Resource Center. The CDM is updated once a year in July.
The published CDM lists the itemized price of all hospital charges and does not reflect what an insurance company will pay based on contracted rates or what a patient will owe as an estimated out-of-pocket expense.
Typically, a hospital's contracts with insurance companies, including Medicare, specify that the hospital accepts a rate that is less than the published CDM.
Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRG) is a classification system used by Medicare for grouping inpatient discharges, based on various patient attributes, which include principal diagnosis, specific secondary diagnoses, procedures, and other information. The attached file shows El Camino Hospital's average billed charges by MS-DRG grouping.
We understand that healthcare can be complex and navigating costs, procedures and systems is a daunting task. We encourage the use of our price estimator tool or contacting an El Camino Hospital patient pricing representative at (650) 988-8275 if you have questions or require further assistance with the CDM or MS-DRG.
To view information about hospital charges across the state visit the OSHPD website.

Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a free country.
A Liberal MP tweeted on World Press Freedom Day that the only "trustworthy" outlets are CBC, the Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star.
As if everything he doesn't agree with is just fake news.
Canada is in 18th place on the World Press Freedom Index.
Despite this, Canada is co-hosting a press freedom summit alongside the United Kingdom (ranked even worse, in 33rd place) in London, England on July 10 and 11.
It's paramount for True North to be there.
Not only is True North a start-up media platform, but the work we do is without the $1.3 billion the CBC gets, or the hundreds of millions of dollars earmarked for government-approved news outlets.
Our voice is an important one, but we need to be scrappy to get it heard.
I've asked Minister Chrystia Freeland's office if True North can be involved in the official proceedings, and have not yet been given an answer. But even if we aren't a part of the event, we must be there to cover it and report back on how the Canadian government plans to uphold press freedom in Canada and around the world.
It isn't going to be cheap, but it's nonetheless valuable.
Between flights and accommodations, not to mention other costs connected to producing live content, we're looking at $4,500 CAD to have me cover this.
I'm asking you to help make this happen.
As I demonstrated during Ontario's carbon tax court battle, boots on the ground are needed to get the full story.
Help me stand up for free speech.
True North is an independent, nonprofit research and educational organization. We are a charity. When you donate to us, we will issue you a tax receipt.

Fellow, True North

Harvey Blankfeld
Brown, Blankfeld & Associates
7475 W. Sahara Ave., #100
Las Vegas, NV, 89117
Harvey, Christina & Administrative Staff:
I wanted to write this letter now that I have had some time to reflect on the sale of our property on Pine Leaf. I don't think I had told you at the beginning of our effort to sell our home, that I believed that I did not need a Realtor to help me find a buyer and successfully negotiate a sale of the property. How wrong I was. I entered the listing with reluctance, not on your abilities, but with my over confidence in my own ability to sell a property that I thought would sell itself. I was like so many sellers that wanted to avoid what I thought was an unwanted cost.
I knew it was a difficult time to sell a home with so many bank owned properties on the market. Your presentation convinced me that without the professional support of a trained and experience Realtor, that my chances in selling this property would be slim. Your detailed market analysis and step approach is what really convinced me that I had to have a professional team if I wanted to be successful. The first mistake I would have made would have been in establishing a realistic selling price. The second would have been the lack of exposure of the property to the market. I believed that its location and great curb appeal would be sufficient to find a ready and qualified buyer and I did not need the expansive exposure of the MLS and individual marketing that you provided.
It was your sensitivity and market awareness that allowed the selling price to be set at a level that brought multiple offers within a very short period of time.
The real strength of your team approach was in the process of the sale once we had received the several offers. There were so many pitfalls during this period that I know I would not have been able to complete the sale on my own. Your experience in overcoming objections on both sides of the transaction made the cost of the sale worth every penny. There was a period that I thought the sale would never be closed; your persuasive and positive approach with working with the buyer's agent made the sale a reality. Key to the entire transaction was the communication that flowed on a daily basis. I never wondered how the process was proceeding; I received timely updates and suggestions that made the decisions easy and effective. The little extras that you and your staff performed were the "icing on the cake".
Thank you for a job well done. I would not hesitate to recommend you and your Team to any potential buyer or seller.
Richard Yeakel

The forehands were fierce, the backhands brilliant and the slices stunning.
This first round men's singles match at the 2017 Bath Indoor tournament will be remembered by all of those who witnessed it for a very long time.
This year I've played against Martin a lot of times and we've had some very close matches and sometimes you need to pull through and get that drive and fight every ball and that's what I did today Daniel Caverzaschi
It saw two of Spain's most talented tennis players, Daniel Caverzaschi and Martin De La Puente, go head-to-head and had everything you could want in a match and more.
This pair, just like fellow Spanish sensation Rafa Nadal, can fire out those powerful backhand, and indeed forehand, winners and make it look effortless.
And whilst Caverzaschi was the victor on this occasion, coming from a set down to win in three sets 5-7 6-2 6-4, De La Puente can still hold his head high after playing his part in what was yes a three hour long three setter but also a phenomenal game of tennis that nobody could stop watching.
Caverzaschi said: "It was a tough match. This year I've played against Martin a lot of times and we've had some very close matches and sometimes you need to pull through and get that drive and fight every ball and that's what I did today so I'm pleased with that.
"Some aspects I didn't do very well but other aspects I did do well in the end the match went to me and I'm happy."
One aspect that both players did well was showcasing the athleticism, power and skill in the modern game that you can see week in week out on the UNIQLO wheelchair tennis tour.
And when asked whether when he took the court this morning he was expecting to be engaged in such an epic on court battle Caverzaschi said: "I didn't know it was going to be that long for sure but I knew it was going to be a fight.
"Martin is also a fighter and it's always loud in our matches so to be honest yes I was prepared for anything to happen."
The first set was tight but it was De La Puente who took the advantage, breaking the deadlock when he ha the chance.
With Caverzaschi 5-4 up De La Puente then went on to take the next three games and subsequently the set 7-5.
At 2-1 down in the second set Caverzaschi then had to draw on all his strength and determination and when he found his game again at that point nothing was going to stop him.
He said: "Things that didn't work out well in the first set then started to work well and I controlled the second and third set most of the time so I found my game."
And for Caverzaschi success on the court in such impressive and competitive games also helps him get nearer to achieving another of his goals
He said: "Apart from trying to reach the top my goal is to show Spain and the world that this sport is tennis.
"It's high level elite athletes and high level tennis and anyone who likes tennis will like a wheelchair tennis match.
"We're all improving – the top 20 players nowadays play very very good tennis.
"So people being able to see a match like today is good for the sport."
Today saw British success in the men's draw too
It wasn't just Caverzaschi who had a good day out on court two British players also came through their first round matches in style.
In the all-Brit battle between Dermot Bailey and Ben Johnson-Rolfe it was Bailey who came out on top 6-1 6-0.
Johnson-Rolfe broke the British number three's serve in the first game of the match but from that point onwards Bailey dominated taking the next 12 games, the first and second set and the match.
But there is still a lot to also praise about Johnson-Rolfe's performance – still relatively new on the tour his movement and decision-making at the points when he relaxed into the match show that there is an awful lot of potential there for the future.
Bailey will now face World number one Gustavo Fernandez in the second round.
Another Brit, who along with Bailey, had a good day out on court was Mark Langeveld who beat Italy's Massimiliano Banci, a player ranked 145 places above him, in straight sets 6-3 6-4.
And now waiting for him in the next round is defending men's singles champion Belgium's Joachim Gerard.

It was a bittersweet experience for me last week to see Digital Equipment Corporation become formally subsumed into Compaq Computer and cease to exist. Digital's torturous decline is testament to how brutally this industry punishes companies that misjudge shifts in the market.
Digital was, first and always, an engineer's company, with all the pride, brilliance and arrogance that entails. It tolerated what was by most accounts a lot of waste and overhead so that its technologists could build products that were best in class.
What Digital's leadership failed to see, though, was the shift in customer preferences to flexibility over performance. And as Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and, yes, even Compaq began to exploit the shift toward open systems in the late 1980s, Digital stubbornly persisted in its belief that buyers would continue to pay a premium to have the best.
In hindsight, we can see that Digital made a lot of mistakes: its late adoption of Unix, its futile pursuit of the Alpha chip, its dismissive attitude toward PCs and its ill-fated entry into the mainframe business. But at the time, none of those seemed so crazy. Digital wanted to become another IBM, and it doggedly followed IBM's blueprint even as that model was crumbling beneath them both. Digital's enemy wasn't IBM. Its enemy was choice.
It's ironic that Compaq may actually succeed where Digital failed: re-creating the model of the vertically integrated hardware companies that dominated the industry for so long.
And in a supreme twist of fate, Digital's biggest contribution to that may be the global service organisation it built to support the products that, ultimately, failed to sustain it in the marketplace.

Is Your Business Guilty Of These Top IT Mistakes?
All businesses require technology in some shape or form and running a company without access to emails or the internet is nigh on impossible.
Yet too many small businesses take their IT for granted: your computer will power up every morning, your emails will all get sent, your website will load, your data on your laptop is there for you to access, your clients can get in touch with you.
Akin to stubbing your toe, we don't notice our technology until it becomes painful. We need our toes to help us walk, and we need our technology to help us run our businesses. It's not until it goes wrong and we can't work that we realise the simple mistakes we have failed to prevent.
The Top Seven IT Mistakes Small Businesses Commonly Make:
Free Lunch: There is no such thing as a free lunch - the same applies to your technology. It may seem an unnecessary business expense to pay for an anti-virus when you can just have a free one - but the premium antivirus packages are there for a very good reason - they offer a more comprehensive security. A virus could potentially cripple your business and free security options won't protect you against all nasties.
No Wingman: Your wingman is your backup, there to offer you support when you need it - but is of no use if it's not there when required. Too many businesses still rely on external backups that they need to manually do, and to remember to do. Having several backups in place is our company recommendation, including a cloud based fully encrypted automated backup to ensure that your wingman is by your side every step you take. If the worst does happen, you should be able to access your data remotely and to restore your systems with minimal downtime.
On The Cheap: You saw a brilliant deal on a printer so you went ahead - without looking at how much replacement cartridges would cost. Or that cannot refuse offer on a laptop - without checking if it has enough memory for your ever-expanding business requirements, if it could be upgraded, or how long the battery life was. If something looks too good to be true it probably is and buying cheap will often backfire on you.
Making Assumptions: is there more than one person working with or for your business? If so, are they aware of your company's privacy policy? Of their responsibility with company data? Is there a policy for BYOD - are they using their own smart phone/tablet/laptop or does it belong to the company? Everybody within an organisation should be aware of their responsibilities.
Erratic Habits: Where is that email you sent a customer twelve weeks ago? They have called the office claiming they didn't actually place an order with you and therefore won't be settling their invoice. Where is the agreed plan of action that you obtained from them in writing? Can you find the documents a client swears they sent over to you? Our computers store a vast amount of information, but it is down to you to organise and file it.
Leaving Holes: You get to your desk, you turn on your computer, you need to get cracking, tic toc, time is running out - and the blasted machine says it needs to do updates! As frustrating as they might be, ignoring or cancelling updates will leave your IT vulnerable - these updates are a necessary evil be it your computer, your smart phones or your tablets. So, step away from your desk, let your IT do its thing and grab a cuppa.
It Won't Happen To Me: Do you have such a thing as a disaster recovery plan? What if your computer systems went down? What if you suffered a data breach, or your systems were subjected to malicious encryption? What if your offices were flooded? What if you lost access to the internet? What if there was an online campaign against your company? Would you be able to ride out the storm without adversely affecting your customers? Who would be responsible for getting systems restored? Who would you need to contact? The GDPR legislation now gives you an absolute maximum of 72 hours in which to report certain types of data breaches so you need to know what to do, who to contact and who is responsible for each and every aspect should your business suffer a catastrophe.
If all of our technology is working as we require it to, it is easy to take it for granted. But how long could your business survive without all that you rely upon on a daily basis? Ensuring that you have a safety net around you will enable your business not to survive but to grow and to thrive. The seven points above will help you get on the right track to maintaining an efficient business leaving you to be able to focus on what you do best – running your business.

It's time to take your writing seriously. Warren Read—writer, educator, and published author—will guide you through every step of writing a short story in this six-session production workshop.
The class will cover what makes a short story, character development, setting, dialogue, and point of view. Each session will include writing advice, fluency prompts, sharing your work with class members, and writing groups/workshopping. Between meetings, you will focus on developing your short story.
All levels of writers are welcome. You might dust off an old story you began years ago, come to class with an idea for a story, or attend the first session with no clue what you want to write. It's all okay because the first class will begin with brainstorming activities. You'll leave with a clear direction in mind.
Warren Read will use excerpts and ideas from Ron Carlson Writes a Story. You are encouraged to get a copy from the library, Amazon, Kindle, iBooks, and others.
Instructor Bio: Warren Read is the author of a memoir, The Lyncher in Me (2009, Borealis Books) and the soon-to-be-released novel, Ash Falls (2017, Ig Publishing).

As of July 2017, the Central American Single Declaration (DUCA) will enter into force in El Salvador, in order to comply with the Association Agreement between Central America and the European Union, by which it was established that the signatory parties are to incorporate in their respective legislation and customs procedures the use of a single administrative document.
The main purpose is that DUCA integrates: the Single Customs Declaration(DUA for its acronym in Spanish), the Goods Declaration (DM for its acronym in Spanish), The Central American Single Customs Form (FAUCA for its acronym in Spanish) and the Single Transit Declaration (DUT for its acronym in Spanish). DUCA will initially be used for intra-regional trade in goods; and later ahead the Declaration of Goods will be included, meaning that for export clearance in El Salvador, only the DUCA will be used.
For more information, we invite you to review the bulletin issued by CISEX, by clicking here (Available only in Spanish).

Ba Guo Bu Yi, which opened in July 2010, is a popular Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. Over the years, the restaurant has been bringing authentic Sichuan flavours to not only the Adelaide Chinese community, but also introducing the unique Sichuan cuisine to South Australian locals.
The kitchen team, led by executive chef Li, dishes up the signature spicy Sichuan flavours with their menu of lip-numbing classics. The mild spiciness of their dishes is perfect for those trying their hand at Sichuan cuisine. However, for those who want an autentic Sichuan experience, try out the dishes at the maximum spice level.

Congressman Jack Bergman (MI-01), Congressman John Moolenaar (MI-04) , and Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) announced a federal grant to improve infrastructure and safety on railroad tracks running throughout Michigan, operated by Lake State Railway.
The $8,669,657 federal grant, through the U.S. Department of Transportation, will help to invest in Lake State Railway's Mackinaw Subdivision, which operates hundreds of miles of track running from its headquarters in Saginaw up to Gaylord and Alpena.
Lines also run to Midland, Bay City and Paines, as well as down to Plymouth.
The company operates approximately 375 miles of railroad track that help Michigan businesses and farmers ship their products and commodities across the state, country and world.
"Railways are vital to the First District's economy, and it's important that we bring Michigan's infrastructure into the 21st Century. I appreciate Secretary Chao's interest in investing in northern Michigan's railroads because this federal grant will help Lake State Railway make significant updates that benefit our communities. I'm proud to support these major infrastructure upgrades and will encourage the Administration to continue investing in Michigan priorities," said Congressman Bergman.
"Lake State Railway Company (LSRC) is excited about the future projects that the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement Grant will help fund," said John Rickoff, President and CEO of LSRC. "Investments made with this grant along with money contributed by the State of Michigan and LSRC will help the growing industrial and agricultural base located along the line running from Pinconning to Gaylord (including, Standish, West Branch and Grayling) by providing viable, safe and environment-friendly rail transportation for the long-term. LSRC wants to thank the Members of Congress, Michigan State Senators and House Representatives along with our loyal customers for their support in this endeavor."
"Improving Michigan's infrastructure—including railroads—will help make our region more economically competitive," Congressman Kildee said. "Railroads help to play an important role in connecting mid-Michigan businesses, including automotive suppliers and farmers, with markets around the world. I am proud to help announce this federal grant to help Lake State Railway make much-needed infrastructure updates and make our rail system more reliable," Congressman Kildee said.
"Lake State Railway has established itself as a national leader in the railroad industry. As our country's strong economy grows, this grant will help Lake State provide more services to the residents of mid and northern Michigan. I will continue to support infrastructure funding like this, which will help Michigan businesses connect with customers across the country and around the world," said Congressman Moolenaar.

Very good. Probably an overload of grandeur, they try to put in a few human touches and quieter parts, but it's generally so many vast, epic happenings that it all comes across as far larger than life and one kind of loses track of the smaller, human parts of the story.
What's probably the best single run of Thor is reprinted in the Thor Omnibus, covering Walter Simonson's run on the series from 1983 to 1987.
I followed the comic on and off up through 2011, but haven't read it much since. Jane Foster has been pretty scarce lately, but Sif was until very recently featured in Journey into Mystery. This short run had both a female writer and a female artist, so it explored lots of aspects that the male superheroes usually don't explore.

There are so many benefits that you will gain by growing plants hydroponically. Besides having the tent and other accessories, you need to find the top hydroponic nutrients. This will help your plants grow quicker and fuller. You need to have the proper fertilizer and other essential nutrients so that you can harvest the full bounty of hydroponic gardening.
Hydroponic fertilizer is necessary to have for your indoor garden. However, there are so many products on the market and that leads to confusion on which nutrients you need or don't need to buy.
We advise to use only nutrients that have been tested and approved for hydroponics. As a new grower or even an experienced one, you may not know what to look for and this is the main reason we have put together this guide so as to help you find the best nutrients for cannabis and your other plants.
Benefits of Hydroponic Nutrients
The hydro nutrients help improve the soil or base that is used for hydroponics. These ensure that the plants can absorb all essential nutrients they need to be able to grow in a healthy manner. For instance, nitrogen is not typically available in hydroponics, yet we all know that it is necessary for plants to grow. With the right choice of products, you will enjoy every aspect of your grow tent and, better yet, you end up with higher yields.
What Nutrients to Use for Hydroponics?
When talking about hydroponic plant nutrients, hydroponic fertilizer is crucial. Fertilizer comes in two types: powder and liquid. Knowing the difference between the two forms of fertilizers will allow you to pick the one that suits your needs.
Powder Fertilizer
The powdered fertilizer is typically for commercial and/or experienced growers. This types comes in two parts, one with the main nutrients and the other with the calcium nitrate. The trick with powdered fertilizer is that you have to mix them in the proper quantities to create your solution.
Liquid Fertilizer
The liquid fertilizer is typically the leading type for hobbyists. This design makes it easier to use with your hydroponic system. This mixture is done at the factory–no messing by you! All you need to do is simply apply it to the soil and plants, as per the manufacturer's recommended instructions.
Which type is the best nutrients for hydroponics? The powder form is cheaper than the liquid fertilizer, even the shipping costs are usually higher since they need to be handled with extra care. This is why the powdered hydroponic fertilizer becomes a favorable option for the commercial growers. It is cheaper and allows you to mix the quantities that you need.
How to Pick the Right Hydroponic Nutrients?
When shopping for hydroponic plant nutrients, you want to get the top hydroponic nutrients in the market. Here are some factors that will help and allow you to get the top hydroponic nutrients.
Type of Fertilizer
As we discussed above, you can choose between the liquid and powder fertilizers. This choice depends on how you want your crops to grow and how involved you want to get.
Typically, small scale growers and hobbyist prefer the liquid fertilizer. With this type, you do not worry about mixing the solution and it is just easier and less messy. For large scale and/or commercial growers with some experience, powder fertilizers may be the way to go. They can be cheaper and come in two parts that you mix together before applying to the plants.
pH Levels
pH levels are important to allow your plants to thrive. Look at the acidity and basic levels of the nutrients before applying any sort of fertilizer. You may need to consult an expert to get the correct pH levels for the plants that you are growing. Often, you local extension office can help with free or cheap analysis tools.
Stage of Growth
Plants go through a life cycle and you should take note of the plant's current stage before applying the nutrients. The vegetative stage is quite critical and this is one of the stages that plants need the most nutrients. Nitrogen is always necessary to ensure that the plants blossom and grow tall. If your plants are in the flowering stage, cut back on the amount of nitrogen and start providing other nutrients that are rich in phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium.
Electrical Conductivity Levels
Electrical Conductivity or EC levels essential to consider when you are shopping for the hydroponic nutrients for some hardy growers such as cannabis. We believe the best nutrients are ones that have an EC level of around 1200 to 1500 parts per million. Again, make sure to check that you have nutrients that will be in the ideal range so your yields will be optimal.
Synthetic or Organic Nutrients
We have seen two basic typse–synthetic or organic nutrients. Synthetic nutrients seem to be the best for hydroponics because they easily break down into smaller particles. The plants to absorb can then these nutrients. However, this does not mean that synthetics have more nutrients, only that the absorption rate is much faster.
Organic hydroponic nutrients are more ideal for the soil-based gardens. In most cases, this type may have ingredients that can clog the small tubes and pumps in your hydroponic system. However, organic hydroponic nutrients have advantages, it all depends on what you are growing. Synthetic nutrients are said to be the best high performance nutrients for certain plants like cannabis that are nutrient hungry.
Price Factor
It always comes back to this doesn't it. Let's be honest, money does not grow on trees. (p.s. If you have one, let me know!) Finding the nutrients that provide the best bang for the buck is important. Since nutrients are a reoccurring cost, you want to be smart about your nutrients and their price.
Wtih all of that, we prefer liquid fertilizer because of the ease of use and mixing.
Now here are our recommended top picks:
General Hydroponics FloraGro, FloraBloom, & FloraMicro Combo Fertilizer Set — Our Top Hydroponic Nutrients Pick
General Hydroponics is clearly one of the best sources out there for hydroponic nutrients. They are popular and consistently receive some of the best reviews. They are known for their Flora Series.

Part one of our three-part series on victim notifications introduced the concept of victim notifications and the basics of preparing for a notification. The second post of the series provided details on how companies can prepare for, validate, and respond to victim notifications. This post concludes the three-part series with a brief discussion around issues that organizations that provide victim notifications face and recommendations for how they can provide notifications in a practical and effective manner.
With increased awareness of intrusion activity, any number of organizations may be in a position to provide notice of compromise. These notifying organizations include but are not limited to: law enforcement, ISPs, security researchers, or business partners. Mandiant has provided victim notifications since 2009 and continuously works to refine the reporting and notification process.
Identifying a Point of Contact
One of the most difficult challenges to overcome in delivering a victim notification is identifying the correct office or individual to contact. Identifying the right point of contact goes a long way in ensuring the proper handling of sensitive information. Public information sources such as search engines, social networks and corporate websites are good sources, but often times do not easily reveal the best point of contact. Calling the organization's main office or security division is often the quickest and most efficient way to locate the correct point of contact. Further down in this post, we take a brief look at operational security concerns when delivering the notification.
Message Content
The goal in providing a notification is to inform an organization of compromise. Well-crafted notifications contain details the victim organization can use to confirm the breach and develop a course of action.
Examples of details to include in a notification:
- Accurate dates and times (GMT) of attacker activity
- IP addresses and / or hostnames of compromised systems
- Stolen or compromised credentials used by the attackers
- Directory or keyword searches performed by the attackers
- Lists of files or other data accessed or stolen by the attackers
- Other attacker command and control activity
Avoid including vague details in the notification. Vague details and unsupported assertions may cause the recipient to lose interest or question its relevance. For example, informing an organization that one of their IP addresses communicated with a hostile domain requires supporting details. Otherwise, the victim may simply assume they have "a virus" and dismiss the notification. Provide specific details such as filenames of stolen data or the usernames and passwords stolen and used by attackers to conduct malicious activity. Hard-hitting details help the organization understand the magnitude of the compromise and create a sense of urgency to take action.
Remember, the organization needs information to validate the breach and estimate the severity of the compromise. Provide as much detail as possible to aid them in their efforts.
Message Delivery and Security
Delivering a notice of compromise is a highly sensitive and challenging process. These notifications may cause a great deal of uncertainty within the organization. Rightfully, the recipient's first reaction includes skepticism of the information, the messenger, and the motivation of the messenger. When delivering the message, draw attention to the details and strive to help the victim understand the problem and potential countermeasures.
In most cases, an initial phone call or other out-of-band communication is the safest way to deliver the initial notification. Email should be the last resort for preliminary communication. In my experience, contacts initially reached by phone are more likely to accept the notification.
After the organization validates the information, offer to participate in a follow-up meeting. During the follow-up meeting, be prepared and willing to answer questions about the source of the information and provide insight into the attacker's motives, tactics, techniques and procedures.
Organizations may request copies of the notification in electronic form, particularly in cases involving data loss. In such cases, it is crucial to ensure notifications remain protected from the prying eyes of the attacker. Requiring secure communication conveys the severity of the issue and the importance of operational security.
Awareness of advanced attacks has increased and more organizations are actively informing others of compromise. Keep in mind that an organization may receive notification from multiple sources. Invest the time and effort to create an informative notice, notify responsibly, and be open to working with the victim as they investigate and remediate their compromise.
Carlos and I hope this series has been helpful to you.
If you'd like to contact us regarding a complex or sensitive notification, email [email protected].

Open a Door for Unlearning
Posted in Analogy, Metaphor, New Cards, One minute unlearning
Seth Godin recently had a wonderful post entitled Jumping the line vs opening the door. In it, he explained how jumping to the front of a line can be a positive and beneficial act if the person's intention is to open a second door that allows more people to enter the building.
In this same way I believe too many people view knowledge as simply the acquisition of more information– as if learning was just a matter of going through one-way door.
That's not true. You also need an exit for dumping and dropping that knowledge which has become obsolete or outdated.
Do you have a separate door for unlearning?
