Student Tips
K-State Wildcats have a tradition--The Honor Pledge. Imagine what future employers and graduate school acceptance committees will think when they see you have graduated from an institution where academic honesty is held in high esteem. With nationally advertised scandals in many areas such as journalism and business, the K-State Honor & Integrity System is a refreshing attempt at helping students grow in integrity, not only in the realm of academics, but in personal life as well. Take the Honor Pledge seriously in ALL of your academic work--faculty are assuming you know what is considered cheating. If you have doubts about your academic behavior (handing in the same work for two different classes, for example), please clarify with your instructor OR call us. We are here to help.

Don't Go There! Strategies to AVOID Honor Pledge violations.
Careful attention to your own academic duties is the best way to avoid allegations of academic dishonesty. If you are asked to do something that you FEEL is wrong or unethical, it probably is. Aiding someone in committing an academically dishonest act is just as serious as receiving the aid. These strategies may help you avoid Honor Pledge violations.
What is the process if I have an honor pledge violation?
In most cases, your professor will file the report as an option 1 case (meaning he/she has determined the sanctions). As a student, you have a right to contest the allegations of an honor pledge violation. You may not contest the sanctions. If you contest, a Case Review Board is formed and you can follow these guidelines to have an understanding of what will happen.
Statement on unauthorized aid and collaboration.
If you do not know what your instructor expects of you, ask. Some faculty assume students realize that working with others on assignments is not acceptable. If you have made a habit of working on homework assignments, take-home exams and quizzes, and using others' papers as your own, please take the time to ask your instructor if you are not clear about the parameters of EACH class. The default at K-State is to DO YOUR OWN WORK. Unless you have been told by the professor for each individual assignment that you may collaborate and/or use aid, then the assignment should be assumed to be completely independent work.
To Do or NOT To Do? That IS the Question! Examples of Honor Pledge violations.
This list of behaviors is not inclusive of all possible violations. When in doubt about whether your actions may violate the Honor Pledge, please consult with your instructor or call/email the Honor & Integrity System Director for further clarification.

One plasmoid 3 platforms
I already extensively talked on this blog about the new QML declarative AppletScript that will be present in the upcoming 4.6 release of the KDE Platform and how is important especially in the light of the QtComponents project.
A little new feature got in some days ago: in technical terms, is a fallback chain for Plasma::Package
Wait, a what? wtfbbq?
Let's see what this means with this video ;) Here you see some further developments over the RSS reader we seen the last time, like a search as you type filter bar and a bookkeeping of read/unread feeds (done with Plasma::Storage, a projects of the last Google summer of code).
But wait, there are 3 rss readers shown in that video!
The other two, shown as standalone windows, they have a very similar and coherent behavior compared to the one on the desktop, but they look completely different and have some important differences in their behavior.
They are a version targeted to MeeGo Handheld and MeeGo Tablet (the one with a two column layout, that is possible in a larger screen)
Those two version, use a (very early and under heavy development) version of QtComponents for MeeGo, that in turn uses the MeeGo touch framework theming system to have applications with the same look and feel of native MeeGo touch apps, but with a QML declared interface.
What is really neat is that those are not 3 plasmoids: it's only one, in a package that weighs less than 80Kb ;)
Also, the proper version is automatically chosen at startup by the Plasma package system (at the moment depends from an environment variable) in the code you won't have to put explicit switches to discover what platform you're on. You just have to provide the files for the proper platform in the proper directory, and they will be automatically chosen respecting the specified fallback chain.
Once this is in "full steam", we will be able to have a set of plasmoids that are:
- Traditional desktop widgets
- more reduced widgets for the Plasma Mobile workspace
- "Full apps" on standard MeeGo handset and tablet
- "Full apps" on a different mobile system, for instance one completely based on Plasma Mobile.
How this can be done?
Plasmoids are distributed in packages, with a certain filesystem structure. In the javascript code you have, when asking for a certain resource, that can be an image, a javascript file, a QML file, you just ask for a particular include, you just have to ask for an "image" called "foo.svgz" for instance (plasmoid.file("images", "foo.svgz") without having to worry about the actual path.
Now, (actually depending of environment variables) the actual path of the files depend from the device used, so you can decide for instance, that when you are working in a mobile environment to replace one of the package files with other one.
Files are searched from the more device specific to the more generic ones. In the example of the video there is the chain: MeeGo tablet (or handheld) -> "MeeGo generic" -> "completely generic" (where the Plasma-desktop case is treated as the most generic one right now since is the most common).
They can be qml files, images, ui files, svgs, whatever.
if the replacement is done carefully, you will be able to have even completely different user interfaces (in this example, MeeGo handheld and MeeGo tablet) but sharing the logic of the program, that can be Javascript, if the application is simple enough, or C++ modules if needed.

Why I Took Away Naptime
I want to share my experience as a new mom and why I took away my daughter's naptime.
I came across a book called "The 7 O'clock Bedtime" by Inda Schaenen. It's a brilliant perspective on moms taking charge of their lives and creating a structure that allows everyone to thrive. Too many times we moms forget about our own health and wellness because we feel "it's what we are supposed to do for our family." RUBBISH I say!
The reason why I got the book is because I needed validation for putting my daughter to bed at 7:00pm (sometimes earlier) because this child did NOT like naps and getting up at 4:00am with no break during the day…well, let's just say I wanted to poke my eyes with searing hot daggers by dinner time. Yeah this was not helping with my postpartum depression. (see my post below on my struggle with postpartum depression)
My husband (now my ex) was resisting the schedule I had created and wanted me to keep her up until he got home which ranged anywhere between 7:00pm to 11:00pm depending on the season (his job was seasonal) and if he had one of his "meetings" after work. This full-time mommy gig proved to be extremely challenging for me and I was barely hanging on as it was. Having to adjust my newborn's schedule to accommodate his, was simply not something I was willing to do. I mean I was conflicted about it because I wanted him to see his daughter but, as usual he wasn't willing to meet me halfway. It was a sore subject… among many. I feel another post comin' on: "Being Married To A Narcissist"; I will save that for a different day.
Back to Claire's sleep schedule…
From birth, my daughter was not a good sleeper or napper. It was a struggle to get her to go to sleep and, it took me a while to catch on, but she is the type of child/person that once she was up - she's up, never to fall back asleep again. I did everything you're supposed to do but nothing was working. I finally connected the dots as to why she wasn't sleeping through the night, when we went away for the weekend. She slept through the night for the first time EVER (five months old)! YAY! I noticed the room she slept in was toasty warm.
So I thought the reason for her not sleeping through the night at our house, may be because it was too cold in her room. My husband (now my ex) kept the furnace really low at night and the temperature in the house got to about 55 degrees. Okay, ya I'll blame him.
I knew it was cold in her room but I didn't know what to do because I read/heard that you shouldn't bundle up newborns in blankets for fear of SID's. You can't put them on their stomach for fear of SID's. You can't put large-ish stuffed animals in their crib for fear of SID's, etc. So on top of all the mommy fears of possibly killing my baby that I had to contend with, I also had to contend with her waking up several times a night because she was freezing and her little fingers were like ice cubes. Oh, and her room was the coldest room in the house, as luck would have it.
When we got back from our trip I put a space heater in her room and once I was able to get her to sleep (which was always a struggle), she was down for the night. Praise all things holy! I felt like a horrible mother though and this was not helping with my postpartum depression.
Once I got that figured out things were better at night. I still had struggles with getting her to sleep, and had to do the whole sleep-training thing (which was horrible) but eventually once she was asleep at night, she slept through the night.
Everything based around sleep was an issue with her. I felt she didn't get enough sleep. No matter what time I put her to bed, she was up between 4-5am and she didn't take adequate naps. The reason I know this is because everyone I talked to, their children were sound asleep. Friends and family with children never complained of their child's lack of sleep. I had to plan parties and get togethers around everyone else's naptimes. I felt like we were constantly waiting for kids to wake up before we could do anything. Even though it was no one's fault, it was annoying and frankly I was jealous.
I tried everything to get her to nap. If someone suggested it, I tried it. A good friend of mine put her kids down for naps at 11:00am and her kids slept until 3:00pm, and then would be ready for bed by 8:00pm and sleep until 7:00am the next morning! I was fifty shades of green with envy. Just think of how much I could get done if my daughter slept for 15 hours a day!
I tried many variations of the below schedule for two years, but this is basically how it went on most days:
- Starting with a bath at 7:30pm, a story, in bed by 8:00pm. Claire wakes up between 4am and 5am. Put her down for a nap around 9am or 10am because she looks tired but not over-tired.
- In her bedroom I can hear her moving around and making noises for an hour, then she eventually falls asleep. Forty minutes later, she wakes up screaming.
- People assured me once I put her on solid food, she would sleep better. NOPE!
- As she got older I tried to adjust this schedule to figure out what worked and what didn't but nothing ever worked consistently.
For about a three month period she was falling asleep in the car. I was so excited! But, alas, when I transferred her from the car to her crib, she would instantly wake up and never fall back asleep again. So, for a while, I just drove around if she fell asleep in the car. And then she just stopped falling asleep in the car.
Frankly, it got ridiculous because it took an hour for her to fall asleep, she'd sleep for 40 minutes, wake up screaming and be all out of sorts (cry, whine, temper tantrum) for two hours afterwards.
Throughout the first two years, I was losing my mind. I wish I had the foresight just to roll with it but I wasn't that type of person and postpartum depression had a hold on me for the first 18 months. I felt like I was doing something wrong and it was going to affect her in negative ways if she didn't get enough sleep (which would affect me in negative ways). Plus pushing things to work the way I wanted them to work was more my style back then. It's kinda freeing that I can admit that now.
Famous Einstein quote: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result."
I continued to struggle with her sleep problems because I was determined to get this child on a regular sleep schedule because that's what I was supposed to do…and everyone else was doing it…and I wanted to "fit in".
Finally after her 2nd birthday I decided enough was enough so I stopped with the insanity and pulled the naps out of our day. It wasn't worth the aggravation anymore. All of the mommies around me still had their kids on sleep schedules throughout the day so we had to entertain ourselves while all the other kids were sleeping. So we went shopping (lots of shopping), the library, the park, the zoo, the movies, the farm, we did crafts (lots of crafts), we read (lots of reading), we baked, etc.
By 6:00pm Claire was exhausted and ready for bed.
This book helped me understand that everyone has their own way of doing things and it's truly about whatever works for you. This turned out to be the best thing for me and Claire. We had so much fun during the day. The stress of naps faded away as I looked forward to dinner because after dinner, it was a bath, a story, then bed. Claire's dad wasn't happy about it but 2 outta 3 of us ain't bad right?
I had to get to a place where I stopped letting the judgment of other people rule how I lived my life. I still had a lot of work to do on that subject (see my post below about People Pleasers) but in this case, for survival reasons, I had to do it my way. I received a ton of flak from a lot of people but this was how I had to do it for my own sanity and what was best for Claire.
The "The 7 O'clock Bedtime" is a short (five chapters), easy read and the author, Inda Schaenen, talks about how she got laughed at, scorned, was called a control freak, etc. but she charged on because it worked for them. It's packed with many inspirational words and situations that I could relate to during a very difficult time in my life.
On page 71 she gives helpful tips on how to change your children's current schedule if they are older because it can be a challenging transition at first. But it can be done if it's something that will help you and your family.
She discusses the topic of sleep and sleep disorders in today's children due to over-scheduling, homework, etc and consults MD's and PHD's for their expert advice. Even though it was published in 2001 I think it's still relevant today.
You can find it on Amazon here.
If you're struggling, please remember to find what works for you and even though I know it's hard, don't let anyone make you feel like you are abnormal. Well, I take that back…be proud of your abnormalities and screw everyone else! Be You Mommies!
Thanks for reading. See below for a few other posts you may find interesting.

It's 7:05pm so go grab a glass of wine (or tea, hot cocoa) and slip into a hot bubble bath and enjoy the silence!
Postpartum Depression - My Story

Dinner at Regency Room in Roanoke
Food is such a wonderful part of life. Every now and then you get to have an opportunity where a meal is truly fantastic from start to finish. The service is spot-on and the food is flawless. That was my experience last night at the Regency Room here at Hotel Roanoke.
First and Second Course
The appetizer I chose off of their wonderful menu was the Truffle Risotto Fritters. The menu describes this dish and having a country ham and mozzarella center served in a tomato coulis. I have to admit, it was the first thing I noticed on the menu. As an admitted foodie, the words "truffle" and "risotto" translate in my brain to "must try". I wasn't disappointed. It was amazing.
I also tried a sampler portion of the Peanut Soup as my second course. The menu describes this as a "Hotel Roanoke heirloom recipe". Given that the Hotel Roanoke was built in 1882, that translated to me into "recipe that has been perfected over many years" so I needed to try it. Again, it was really, really good.
One other thing that bears mentioning is that the asiago cheese bread they serve at the restaurant could be a meal by itself. I love cheese bread and this was some of the best I've had. They even had butter with the hotel on it. Bonus points.
For my entree, I ordered the Grilled Filet Mignon. The menu's description on this one states: "gorgonzola-tomato butter, herb roasted fingerling potatoes, and sautéed asparagus". I ordered my steak rare and the temperature on the steak was perfect. Bonus points to the chef for mixing white and green asparagus. I initially thought there might be too much of the butter on the steak, but then I realized it tasted great on the vegetables and on the aforementioned cheese bread so I can't take off points for that.
I don't always order dessert at restaurants. Usually I'm too full and I do try to at least be somewhat healthy on the road (to varying degrees of success). The mission on this dinner outing was to spend $50 so I could get 1,000 bonus HHonors points. Turns out I could've done it without dessert but that's a different story. I ordered the Hot and Cold Chocolate Semifreddo because after reading "semi-frozen chocolate mousse, dark chocolate brownie, mocha chocolate soup" I don't know how anyone avoids ordering this. I told the waiter it should be illegal, to which he promptly replied it was...in three states. I almost believe him. I also ordered a cappuccino. I was informed by the waiter that it was the first cappuccino he's ever made. He has a bright future ahead of him...it was perfect.
This was a great meal and with the coupon I had for a free appetizer it was fairly reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it if you are ever in the Roanoke area. This is especially true if you stay at the Hotel Roanoke and are a HHonors menu since they will give you the coupon and the bonus points voucher. I believe that deal is valid through August 31, 2013. Enjoy!

What would that Bradley Cooper movie "American Sniper" look like if it was "aboot" Canada instead?
It would involve an attack. The enemy? A moose, naturally.
The sniper would camouflage himself in red flannel and ear flaps.
Conflict would arise... clad in hockey jerseys.
Conflict would arise again... clad in denim.
Liquid courage would be consumed.
A love triangle would evolve.
A friendship would be made.
And Canadian guy would freeze his butt off in the snow. (There's always a guy freezing his butt of in the snow.)
It'll all make sense (kinda) in this funny parody below by Jeff Ayars & Dan Rosen.
Watch the trailer for "Canadian Sniper."
Share the humor with your friends.

The MV Summer Madness Music Festival and Conference is a weekend-long event featuring concerts, parties, artist showcases and networking opportunities for people in the entertainment industry. Only in its sophomore year, the festival is August 8-10, 2014 in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts on Martha's Vineyard.
This year's theme, "Ladies First," commemorates the 40th anniversary of Hip-Hop and the 25th anniversary of Queen Latifah's 1989 hit, "Ladies First." The theme celebrates women of color in entertainment that are making a difference both in front of and behind the scenes, as well as through their philanthropic efforts.
Mr. Janon Costley, Managing Member of MV Soul Concepts, LLC, the group that founded the festival in 2013, says many wander why MV Soul Concepts chose Martha's Vineyard as the location of the festival. The event was initially intended to cater to vacationers on Martha's Vineyard who visit every summer. MV Soul Concepts wanted to explore the history of Black Americans on the island and how its impacted the culture there and the families who've vacationed there for years, even before it became a popular tourist destination. "We wanted to explore what Martha's Vineyard means to people of color," says Costley. However, the MV Summer Madness Music Festival and Conference has become so popular that organizers have already brainstormed expanding into a bigger venue after only 2 short years. MV Soul Concepts is also considering adding food, wine and other elements that will make the festival bigger and better next year.
This year's performers include Lauryn Hill, Melanie Fiona, MC Lyte, and Amel Larrieux. Other events throughout the weekend include a panel discussion featuring women in the entertainment industry, beach bash sponsored by the Barbados Tourism Authority and jazz brunch featuring vocalist (and soror!) Suzzanne Douglas.
For more information about the MV Summer Madness Music Festival and Conference, click here. This will be my first time in Martha's Vineyard, so I look forward to not only attending the festival, but exploring the island and sharing my adventures with you. Stay tuned!

Florida's Endagered Animals...by Hannah
Yesterday we went to the Jr Museum. We learned about endangered animals in Florida. We saw a gopher tortoise and an Indigo snake. The tortoise is endangered because people are destroying their habitats. A habitat is its home. The Gopher tortoise burrows into soft sand. Its burrow provides shelter for other animals like the Indigo snakes. People are shooting animals and running them over with their cars & bikes. My friends, Trinity & Kennedy, and I are doing projects on endangered animals in Florida. I am doing mine on the Whooping Crane. Trinity is doing the Manatee and Kennedy is doing the Florida Panther. Love, Hannah

Lugansk ( Luhansk ) City Information
Lugansk - administrative, economic and cultural centre Lugansk area (old name of the city - Voroshilovgrad).Arising the city in 1795, is connected with base on river Lugani first ironworks in Ukraine. Lugansk - a large industrial city of the Ukraine. It Is Located in northeasterly part Doneckogo pool, at merging of the rivers Lugani and Olihovka (the pool Severskogo Donca). It Is Divided on 4 regions: ZHovtnevyy, Artemovskiy, Leninist, Kamennobrodskiy.
The Population Luganska 522 thous. forehead. The Occupied area - 26,7 thous. kv. km.
At the end of XVIII century Russia successfully won a number of Black Sea wars. A wide access to the Black Sea was opened for Russia as well as a chance of using the rich natural resources of Azov Sea territories. The access to the Black Sea and joining of Crimea stipulated a need of fortification of the South borders. Olds Turkish fortresses, and newly-built ones were used for this purpose. The fortresses and the fleet needed cannons. Industrial Ural was far off, and government came to a conclusion of construction of a government plant close to the Black Sea shore. "Godfather" of Lugansk foundry plant certainly was a commander-in-chief of the Black Sea fleet, admiral Nikolay Semenovitch Mordvinov, and "godmother" - empress Ekaterina the Second, who signed in 1795 the edict on the settlement of foundry plant on the river Lugan'. Edict was prepared by Mordvinov, since he was one who managed to persuade Petersburg Admiralty to switch 715 thousand silver roubles left from construction of the young Black Sea fleet to the construction of cannon-foundry plant in the south Russia. Mordvinov entrusted a Scottish foundry engineer and inventor, Carl
Gaskoin, to build a cannon-foundry plant. After close study of the natural deposits Carl Gaskoin offered to manufacture cast iron cannons, rather then copper ones. For this purpose an ironworks was built at the village of Cambrod (Stone Ford) near the river Lugan'.
Plant was built in rather a short term. First cast iron was produced in 1800. Canons and projectiles, cast at Lugansk foundry plant, protected Russia in War 1812, in the Crimean war of 1853-1856. Together with the plant, a village was growing that was called Lugansk plant. By the 30-th of the XIX century there were already nearly 200 private houses, along with the barracks where the most poor population nestled. Amongst the workers there were Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Belorussians, Tatars, Jews. Each nationality tended to save their own traditions, customs, but gradually merging, they formed some particular flavor of Lugansk region.
First, city was being built without an officially confirmed plan. All vertical streets were identified as lines (as in Saint Petersbourgh), and all horizontal ones had names. The most first street of the city was English Street. Foreign specialists who arrived to work at the plant settled there. A mansion for the director of plant was built there. On the same street, in the family of a factory physician, Vladimir Dal, a compiler of a well-known Explanatory dictionary of Russian, was born. Later have other streets appeared such as Peterbourgskaya, Uspenskaya, Kazanskaya, Bankovskaya. Later Peterbourgskaya Street became the main one. Here two-stored houses were built, in which, as a rule, shops, barbers' shops were placed at the ground floor. In Lugansk there were more then ten churches of different religions: Kazanskaya Preobrazhenskaya,Trinity, Assumotion, Petropavlovskaya, Nikolayevsky cathedral, a synagogue, catholic church, several of prayer houses. To great regret all these buildings that had a great value as architectural monuments were destroyed in the 30th of XX century. The only church that survived but was greatly damaged is Petropavlovskaya church in the Stone Ford.
In 1882 Lugansk considering its economic position, by the solicitation of local merchants and gentries was raised in the status of a district city. In the springtime of 1883 the first Chairman of City Duma (Mayor), Nikolay Petrovitch Kholodilin was elected, and Duma itself was placed in one of the best buildings of the city on Kazanskaya Street.
With increasing of a number of population, a network of schools increased. In the city there were several private gymnasiums, two public gymnasiums, schools, grade schools. With the development of industry in Lugansk several banks appeared in the city. The largest was Azov-Don bank on Kazanskaya Street.
In 1903 Lugansk received its court of arms.

ark, aroma of Messiah, beauty, cross, fragrance of life, Jerusalem, naked, salvation, Spirit, truth, women of Syria
Naked honesty of truth,
Transparent before the Lord of Heaven and Earth
Every desire exposed explicitly
Every appetite of body and soul made totally known,
All before the righteous Judge
Each person held accountable for every word spoken
For every thought embraced, every motive of the will.
We all stand on common ground as humans
Shoulder to shoulder as creatures
Bare feet pointed straight ahead, completely unclothed
Eyes look forward with nothing hidden;
Our knowledge of the dust
What we are made of,
Knowledge of the constant holy gaze from Heaven
Purest eyes that penetrate infinity
Beyond our imagination, our ability and grasp,
Invisible beings all about us.
As a remnant, some know the Source of our creation,
We who join to our destiny in Messiah
Step by step, day by day,
Person by person, prayer by prayer,
Each sheep counted, recorded by name, each act, each deed,
Flock added to flock from across the varied fields and nations.
Everyone stumbles at times
But too few reach up and clutch the hand of mercy
Always extended each step, each and every day
Until we stand in final safety,
The ark of salvation a glow about us,
Mark of the Cross, mark of our new name
Seal of everlasting joy on open display in endless celebration!

Not Your Average Fried Bologna Sandwich
Not Your Average Fried Bologna Sandwich
Inspired by Vietnamese banh mi, here's a twist on a favourite sandwich. The pan-Asian glaze gives our signature bologna a sweet-spicy kick. Choose crusty buns to be a little more traditional, although softer buns make it easier to eat.
16-20 slices Schneiders® Country Naturals® Bologna
2 tbsp (30 mL) Vegetable oil, divided
1 114 g pkg shitake mushrooms
1½ tsp (7 mL) Chinese 5 Spice
1/3 cup (80 mL) Hoisin sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL) Sriracha sauce
4 Hamburger buns, lightly toasted
1 cup (250 mL) Kimchi
Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Sauté mushrooms with Chinese 5 Spice until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
Stir together hoisin and sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, fry slices of bologna. Baste with hoisin/sriracha mixture as you go.
Assemble sandwiches by placing 4-5 slices of fried bologna on the bottom of each bun. Top with shitake mushrooms, kimchi and the top of the bun.
Top with quick pickled radishes, onions, and cucumbers in place of kimchi, if you prefer.

According to a new PwC report, modern day financial institutions face increasing demands on two fronts: the need to consolidate their data centres and increase business agility.
After the burst of M&A activity which followed the 2008 financial collapse, organisations have been left with an overlapping mix of data centre assets which must now be consolidated into a more cohesive whole. In addition, in a continually changing business environment, institutions are feeling the pressure to innovate and embrace new technology.
In light of these challenges, says the report, CIOs are increasingly turning to cloud technology to transform their technology infrastructure and deliver consistent service to their global customers. Of the respondents to PwC's survey, 71 percent said they would invest more in cloud technology – up 18 percent on the previous year. The adoption of private clouds offers institutions a chance to address their data consolidation needs, in turn boosting IT agility, according to PwC.
Embracing cloud technology offers numerous rewards. Using the cloud, leading institutions are able to: adapt more rapidly when entering new markets; improve IT services to business units, enabling units to better serve their customers; and improve the consistency of service to customers worldwide, resulting in greater customer satisfaction and loyalty. The cloud also allows institutions to cope with the changing demands of software development lifecycles and technology change programs.
Security concerns remain a major consideration in cloud adoption. By its very nature, the cloud forces IT services to pay closer attention to potential risks in the strategic planning and implementation of data centres. However, while 46 percent of respondents reported their organisation uses cloud services, only 18 percent of financial organisations included provisions for the cloud in their security profile.
Moving to the cloud is a complex process, says PwC, and cloud strategy should be developed with the input of top management across the company. But when an institution strategically implements a private cloud solution, it can help the overall objectives of the organisation, as well as its IT goals.

Your Guide to Top-Quality, Affordable DentistryA dental veneer is also called a porcelain veneer or dental porcelain laminate. A recent innovation in cosmetic dentistry, the veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that is bonded onto the front of a tooth.
A veneer, or multiple veneers if required, can improve the surface texture, color, and shape of the tooth. A veneer serves as a cosmetic treatment for a tooth that is discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned. Veneers can fill in gaps between teeth and correct oversized or undersized teeth.
Why It Works for Medical Tourism | Planning Ahead | Accreditation and Certification | Dental Tourism Do's and Don'ts
US board-certified dentists, American-accredited clinics, and savings of 40 to 70 percent. Contact us today to learn more.
An alternative to a veneer is dental bonding, in which a composite resin is applied to a tooth; the material is then dried and hardened with a laser. Dental bonding can repair chips and cracks in teeth; it can also cover pits and stains.
Because veneers are translucent, they give a lustrous appearance to a tooth that bonding alone cannot achieve. They also resist stains better than bonding does, but veneers are more expensive and less easily repaired than bonding alone.
Why It Works for Medical Tourism
If you need or want a large number of porcelain veneers, then traveling to have the work done may well save you money. In the US, the average cost of a single veneer is US$1,200, and some dentists charge as much as US$2, 500. UK and Australian patients pay even more. In contrast, the average cost in Mexico or Thailand, can run below US$400. The savings rise handsomely for patients requiring multiple veneers.
Planning Ahead
If you are comparing prices, make sure you and all the dentists you consult are discussing the same kind of veneers. The "gold standard" for veneers is traditional porcelain; such veneers can be up to ten times more expensive than composites (plastic veneers). While composites are cheaper, they last only one third to one half as long as porcelain (some studies say five to ten years for composites, 10 to 15 years for porcelain). Another type of veneer, called Lumineers, has an intermediate cost, while promising to last as long as traditional porcelain.
Porcelain veneering requires two or more visits to the dentist, typically a week or two apart. Make sure your travel schedule can accommodate the treatment plan your overseas dentist recommends.
Accreditation and Certification
Non-US dentists practicing abroad can apply for affiliate membership with the American Dental Association (ADA). Such membership is available to dentists who are practicing in a country other than the United States and who do not have an active US dental license.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) runs an accreditation program that serves professionals practicing in the US and abroad. Applicants for accreditation complete a rigorous credentialing process that includes a written examination, oral examination, and peer review of clinical cases.

Blonde, brunette, or redhead? Here's the real story behind your hair
When it comes to beauty, I think we all know by now that it's what on the inside that counts.
To quote Roald Dahl, "If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."
Still, there's a lot to be said for taking pride in your physical features too. If you have great eyes or killer curves, that's always something to celebrate, as we saw with this beautiful lady who gave a bad date when he insulted her figure.
And there's one feature in particular that I think all of us have a bit of a love-hate relationship with: our hair.
Hair comes in a million different textures and colors, and no two heads of hair are alike.

That's why we're here today with some awesome facts about hair and hair color that you may never have realized.

Topic: Writing (01/11/07)
- TITLE: A Purpose to My Passion
By terri tiffany
When I was in the fifth grade, I wrote my first and last poem. My mother had gone back to work fulltime that year and I missed her smiles when I returned home from school. Sometimes, mischief accompanied freedom and she might return after a long day to find the house a mess. She always forgave me and so one day I wrote down my feelings for her on a scrap of paper.
She cried when I gave it to her and then surprised me by folding it into a tiny square and stuffing it in her wallet. Now – a mother's purse is sacred, so I never knew over the course of years whether or not she threw away that bit of sentiment. But years later, at my child's first birthday party, my mother handed me a wrapped package.
"This one is for you." I looked up in surprise and tore at the ribbon.
It was a copy of my poem. Through my tears, I cradled the gold frame now housing my thoughts forever in a calligrapher's script. My childish words touched me as I read the sentiments written long ago and now so relevant to my own life.
Years passed before I started writing in earnest – actually submitting works and getting published. When I was ready, my husband designed an office for me with plenty of wall space. I dug through my memory box and unearthed the slightly tarnished frame with the forty year old poem and marveled how its message had endured through two generations.
It was then I knew how I should write. A writer's words ought to move someone exactly like my poetry first moved my mother and then later me. When I wrote those verses, I wanted only to please my mother. Never did I imagine the lasting power of a child's writing.
And so I look forward with great pleasure to the day when my simple words written for a moment's absolution will touch again. I already have it planned how I will surprise my daughter on her child's first birthday.

Well, the first thing you need to find you is the
definition of self esteem,
and then you can better understand the concepts of lower and higher self esteem.
Wikipedia defines self esteem as "a term used in psychology to reflect a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs (for example, "I am competent" or "I am incompetent") and emotions such as triumph, despair, pride and shame."
The big picture here is in Most people that struggle with esteem rely on their present feelings and accomplishments to determine how they feel about themselves as a whole. They get their
identity and self esteem confused.
An example would be if they failed at something recently. They take it personally that they are themselves a failure, not that this outcome was a temporary failure.
Someone with this set thinking pattern needs constant accomplishments and also sets very high standards for themselves. They can be a perfectionist, yet when they fall short of their goals, they become overly critical of their performance, and again, themselves as a whole.
Many things contribute to low self esteem. Unfortunately, when a child goes through a tragic situations, it can quickly play a large role in the formation of their self-worth. But also, parents often contribute by pushing their children towards perfection, The expectation of perfection and harshly criticizing the child when they can't achieve this undermines the parents good intentions.
It is also virtually impossible to say that one certain thing has caused you to struggle with this issue. It is a blending of experiences and habits based on someones opinion that you have taken into your thought process as fact.
Low esteem isn't something that you have to settle for. If you truly would like to start
improving self esteem,
there is no better time than the present. Continued work in this area will bring major results.
If you have asked the question, "What is low self esteem?" Hopefully you now are closer to an answer.
There are many ways to build up your self esteem. Which ever technique that you choose, just remember to work at it daily. Most people give up, or forget…..and sadly nothing changes.
It's great that you want to correct this situation, but you must do more than that! Find a program that is fun, yet challenging. You need to do some self esteem exercises and find out your beliefs. Find out what habits you have that need to be changed.
Then get to work. It can be done~ I know it can!

Plus, tracks from Boss Hogg Outlawz & Slim Thug, Patrick Park, Aerogramme, and Fulton Lights
New single from Fountains of Wayne
FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE, "Someone To Love"
The lead single from this power-pop quartet's upcoming fourth album is every bit as catchy as their 2003 breakthrough hit "Stacy's Mom," and its sharply observed lyrics make it clear why Fountains were critical favorites long before they turned up on MTV. Songwriters Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood pack this tale of two yuppies with spot-on details, tracing their characters' heartbreakingly banal lives as skillfully as any Pulitzer-winner. You'll pump your fist to the new-wave synth hooks, but you just might tear up when you hear the final verse. (Buy it on iTunes)
BOSS HOGG OUTLAWZ & SLIM THUG, "Recognize A Playa"
The baritone flow of Houston's Slim Thug — best known for his club-ready collaborations with the Neptunes — sounds equally commanding over the droning horns and distant woodblocks on this track, produced by down-south DJ Mr. Lee. We don't hear Slim's distinctive voice for long, though, since he lets his Boss Hogg Outlawz crew do most of the talking, which is cool, because they get in some nice jabs: "I'm back again, like you owe me some cash flow/Most wanted but most feared, like Fidel Castro," brags one. (Stream it at Slim Thug's MySpace or buy it on iTunes)
PATRICK PARK, "Life is a Song"
Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, and countless other indie acts will have to find a new source of free publicity when The O.C. finally goes off the air for good this Thursday. But before it does, the Fox soap will give a hand to one more artist: L.A. singer-songwriter Patrick Park, whose "Life is a Song" will accompany the last three minutes of the series finale. It's a plaintive, bittersweet folk number, guaranteed to have the show's mourning fans reaching for the tissue during the closing moments. (Download it from EW.com)
AEREOGRAMME, "A Life Worth Living"
These Glaswegian rockers' newly-released third LP is called My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go. But this album highlight expresses a slightly different sentiment, to say the least: "I came here so I could let you go," frontman Craig B. sings in pained tones, "And I could cut you out/So I can live a life worth living." The band provides a suitably emotional backdrop for his pleas, building inexorably to a storm of wailing guitars. (Download it from EW.com)
FULTON LIGHTS, "Thank God for the Evening News"
Looped piano notes and a dusty trip-hop beat cast an unsettling spell in this cut from Brooklyn artist Andrew Spencer Goldman's debut as Fulton Lights, out March 6. Underground maestro Oktopus (one-half of Dälek) co-produced the track (his fingerprints are all over those dissonant murmurs in the background), but credit Goldman's ghostly vocals and politically provocative lyrics for giving this hazy track a subtle power. (Download it from Goldman's website)

I think it is important that teachers teach students how to practice as part of the lesson time. I often show my students ways to practice certain sections of music by having them actually practice a section in the lesson. I then remind them that this is what they do at home. I also share practice ideas that work for me because all musicians have to practice, even teachers! When practicing doesn't happen, progression as a musician stops no matter how many years one has played an instrument. A good teacher should also teach theory and explain the "how" and "why" of the curriculum.
Practice with your beginning student.
Most beginning piano books are self-explanatory, even for people with very little or no music instruction. It is not enough to tell young children, "go practice." When parents show an interest and practice with beginning students, this sets them up for success in later years.
Require regular practice times at home.
Children who decide when to practice will most often not practice. There are always exceptions to the rules. Some students practice because they want to practice. My mother had practice requirements for me at home, and she made sure I followed through with the requirements. When students do not practice, they will progress very slowly and sometimes not at all. Practicing even one or two times a week is not enough. Daily practice produces the best results (5-7 days a week). Practicing what the teacher has assigned and practicing correctly is a must!
Limit extracurricular activities.
So often, students have involvement in so many extracurricular activities that it is difficult to succeed at any of them. Unfortunately, music lessons usually end up at the bottom of the to-do list. If parents pay for music lessons and want children to learn, the lessons must be attended and deemed important.
Adopt a "no quitting" policy.
My mother determined that I would not quit piano lessons. There were many times when it was hard, and I didn't enjoy it, especially in those first few years. However, she encouraged me along the way until I began to love the instrument and had a desire to excel. Students who drop in and out of music lessons will also have a difficult time making progress due to lost ground during the drop-out times.
Listen to good music in your home.
Music is so accessible these days! Listening to it makes us aware of sounds around us and helps us develop good ears to recreate beautiful sounds.
Own a quality instrument.
Students who practice on broken instruments have a hard time practicing. You don't have to own the most expensive instrument in the world, but own one that is in good working order. As a pianist, I think it is important to practice on a tuned instrument with all working keys and pedals.
Use extra materials as needed.
Flashcards are great for at-home use. The Internet also has games and resources for music exploration. Microphones and rhythm instruments are also fun for encouraging music learning.
Encourage a love of music at an early age.
For more ideas on how to do this read, Four Ways to Develop a Love for Music in Your Baby or Young Child.
Be patient.
Don't expect progress overnight! When I began piano lessons at age eight, I thought it wouldn't take very long to learn how to play like the church pianist! Boy was I wrong! Learning to play an instrument is a life-long journey! The more you practice, the better you will be, no matter your age!

British Museum to launch first major exhibition of underwater archaeology in May 2016
Stele of Thonis-Heracleion, Thonis-Heracleion, Aboukir Bay, Egypt (SCA 277). The intact stele (1.90 m) is inscribed with the decree of Saϊs and was discovered on the site of Thonis-Heracleion. It was commissioned by Nectanebos I (378-362 BC) and is almost identical to the Stele of Naukratis in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The place where it was to be situated is clearly named: Thonis-Heracleion. ©Franck Goddio / Hilti Foundation - Photo: Christoph Gerigk .
The British Museum
is to stage a major exhibition on two lost Egyptian cities and their recent rediscovery by archaeologists beneath the Mediterranean seabed. Opening in May 2016 for an extended run of six months, The BP exhibition Sunken cities: Egypts lost worlds will be the Museums first large-scale exhibition of underwater discoveries. It will show how the exploration of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus submerged at the mouth of the River Nile for over a thousand years is transforming our understanding of the relationship between ancient Egypt and the Greek world and the great importance of these ancient cities.
300 outstanding objects will be brought together for the exhibition including more than 200 spectacular finds excavated off the coast of Egypt near Alexandria between 1996 and 2012. Important loans from Egyptian museums rarely seen before outside Egypt (and the first such loans since the Egyptian revolution) will be supplemented with objects from various sites across the Delta drawn from the British Museums collection; most notably from Naukratis a sister harbour town to Thonis-Heracleion and the first Greek settlement in Egypt.
Likely founded during the 7th century BC, Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus were busy, cosmopolitan cities that once sat on adjacent islands at the edge of the fertile lands of the Egyptian Delta, intersected by canals. After Alexander the Greats conquest of Egypt in 332BC, centuries of Greek (Ptolemaic) rule followed. The exhibition will reveal how cross-cultural exchange and religion flourished, particularly the worship of the Egyptian god of the afterlife, Osiris.
By the 8th century AD, the sea had reclaimed the cities and they lay hidden several metres beneath the seabed, their location and condition unclear. Although well-known from Egyptian decrees and Greek mythology and historians, past attempts to locate them were either fruitless or very partial. The exhibition will show how a pioneering European team led by Franck Goddio in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities made use of the most up-to-date technologies to find them.
Thanks to the underwater setting, a vast number of objects of great archaeological significance have been astonishingly well preserved. Pristine monumental statues, fine metalware and gold jewellery will reveal how Greece and Egypt interacted in the late first millennium BC. These artefacts offer a new insight into the quality and unique character of the art of this period and show how the Greek kings and queens who ruled Egypt for 300 years adopted and adapted Egyptian beliefs and rituals to legitimise their reign.
The exhibition will feature a number of extraordinary, monumental sculptures. A 5.4m granite statue of Hapy, a divine personification of the Niles flood, will greet visitors as they enter the space. Masterpieces from Egyptian museums such as the Apis bull from the Serapeum in Alexandria will be shown alongside magnificent recent finds from the sea. One such piece is the stunning sculpture from Canopus representing Arsinoe II (the eldest daughter of Ptolemy I, founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty). The Greco-Macedonian queen became a goddess beloved to both Egyptians and Greeks after her death and is depicted here as the perfect embodiment of Aphrodite, a goddess of beauty who grants fortunate sailing.
The exhibition will also cover the arrival of Greeks in Egypt, when they were hosts and not rulers; privileged but controlled by the pharaohs. A complete stela from Thonis-Heracleion advertises a 380BC royal decree of the Egyptian pharaoh Nectanebo I. It states that 10% of the taxes collected on all goods imported from the Sea of the Greeks into Thonis-Heracleion and on all trade operations at Naukratis were to be donated to an Egyptian temple.
A wide range of objects, from modest to grand and costly, bears witness to the piety of both inhabitants and visitors at these major religious centres. Lead models of barges uncovered in the sacred waterway linking Thonis-Heracleion to Canopus are unique and moving finds. They are associated with the Mysteries of Osiris, the most popular festival celebrated annually across Egypt during the month of Khoiak (mid-October to mid-November). Ranging in size from 6 to 67cm, these reproduce in metal a flotilla of 34 papyrus barges that would have been displayed on a waterway to celebrate the first sacred navigation of the festival. According to religious texts, each barge was to measure 67.5 cm and to bear the figure of an Egyptian god, and would have been illuminated by 365 lamps. The lead barges are lasting testimonies possibly left by people who, long ago, celebrated this festival in the Canopic region.
Only a tiny proportion of these sites have revealed their secrets. The on-going underwater archaeological mission continues to bring to light new masterpieces and further research every year as the most recent finds from 2012 will show.
Sir Richard Lambert, Chairman of the British Museum, said, Its hugely exciting to be announcing the British Museums first large-scale exhibition of underwater discoveries and to be welcoming these important loans to London. We are grateful to BP for their ongoing support without which ambitious exhibitions such as these would simply not be possible. Were also delighted to be working with Franck Goddio, his expert team at IEASM, the Hilti Foundation and of course our Egyptian colleagues to bring the extraordinary story of these lost cities to life.
His Excellency Nasser Kamel, Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the United Kingdom, said, "As well as looking for partners to invest in the Egyptian economy, Egypt is always searching for partners to help in exploring its heritage and treasures which are still hidden under its lands, and waters. This exhibition shows that despite what we know of its tremendous history and culture, Egypt still has a lot more to offer to the world and we thank our partners in the UK, such as BP, for working with us in utilising our resources to develop our economy and through such an exhibition unraveling our history as well. I invite the people of Britain to visit this exhibition to get a glimpse of what Egypt has to offer, and come to Egypt to live that experience."
Bob Dudley, Group Chief Executive, BP, said, BP is proud to support this fascinating exhibition which showcases the power of science and the pioneering spirit to discover what lies beneath the surface of the Nile Delta. By sharing these underwater treasures the British Museum is opening a whole new frontier for visitors to explore, and we are pleased to be a part of it.
Franck Goddio, President of Institut Européen dArchéologie Sous-Marine (IEASM) and exhibition co-curator said My team and I, as well as the Hilti Foundation, are delighted that the exhibition with discoveries from our underwater archaeological expeditions off the coast of Egypt will be on display at the British Museum. It enables us to share with the public the results of years of work at the sunken cities and our fascination for ancient worlds and civilisations. Placing our discoveries alongside selected masterpieces from the collections of Egyptian museums, complemented by important objects from the British Museum, the exhibition presents unique insights into a fascinating period in history during which Egyptians and Greeks encountered each other on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Aurélia Masson-Berghoff, exhibition curator at the British Museum said People sometimes assume that when two cultures mix, the essence of each is diluted and, as a result, weakened; this exhibition demonstrates the opposite. It is a rare opportunity to reveal the beauty and strength of Late Pharaonic art and culture, alongside the latest research on the momentous intermingling between Egyptian and Greek communities in Egypt at this time. We are illustrating this vibrant cosmopolitan world through Egyptian, Greek and hybrid artworks, rarely ever displayed side by side. It shows ancient Egypt not as an isolated civilisation, but as the outward looking, influential and inclusive society that it was.

Examining and Tuning Disk Performance
Several conditions must exist in order for you to determine that a disk bottleneck exists. These are a sustained rate of disk activity well above your baseline, persistent disk queues longer than two per disk, and the absence of a significant amount of paging. Without this combination of factors, it is unlikely that you have a bottleneck. However, if you suspect a disk-specific performance problem, monitor the following types of counters:
Paging counters (under the Memory object): Pages/sec, Page Reads/sec, Page Writes/sec
Usage counters: % Disk Time, % Disk Read Time, % Disk Write Time, % Idle Time, Disk Reads/sec, Disk Writes/sec, Disk Transfers/sec
Queue-length counters: Avg. Disk Queue Length, Avg. Disk Read Queue Length, Avg. Disk Write Queue Length, Current Disk Queue Length
Throughput counters: Disk Bytes/sec, Disk Read Bytes/sec, Disk Write Bytes/sec
Although not reflected in disk activity, the rate of interrupt generation by your disk hardware can have a systemwide performance impact. Disk I/O can sometimes generate a sufficient number of interrupts to slow the performance of the processor. Although this does not constitute a disk bottleneck, it is a processor bottleneck caused by the disk system that can slow the responsiveness of the whole computer. For more information about monitoring disk interrupts and reducing their impact on system performance, see Analyzing Processor Activity in this book.
The following sections describe how you interpret the values of these counters to reveal or rule out a bottleneck.

[webcast screenshot from indecisean tumblr]
On the final weekend of Lincoln Center's "Out Of Doors" Summer concert series, Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra brought their "punk cabaret" for a free show in a public park that was packed with all manner of folks. There were young parents with toddlers, teenage kids, older couples, and oddballs of all sorts — devoted fans and curiosity seekers all the same. Damrosch Park was packed and it remained so throughout the supremely entertaining show and spectacle that is an Amanda Palmer concert. We were treated to Grand Theft standards, a semi-surprise appearance of Amanda's old partner in the Dresden Dolls Brian Viglione, a mid-show ukelele solo set, a Nirvana cover, and an all-guests-on-stage finale ("Leeds United") that filled the huge stage to capacity. At the center of it all was Palmer, who amongst the agenda-driven is derided as a polarizing figure, but on this night received nothing but adoration, particularly from the rabid screaming standing-room-only crowd upfront. I make no secret of my personal admiration for Amanda's personality, performance-style, and in the case of her May show at Bowery, her extreme generosity. Regardless of varied opinions, there's no denying that Amanda is a stellar entertainer and given the positive reaction of a true cross-section of the NYC population that attended this entire free show, her reach is perhaps greater than perhaps previously believed. That reach will include tours of Australia and Europe throughout the Fall of 2013, tour dates here.
To say I am disappointed in my own performance on this night would be an understatement. Due to some bad decisions on my part, not the least of which was setting up way too far back, this recording falls well below the usual standards of this site. The distance, the elements, and the outdoor noise all conspired to create a recording that sounds very much like an outdoor stadium show made with inferior equipment. The details are that I ran the Sennheiser cards from directly in front of the soundboard about 200 feet from the stage. The samples will give you an idea of the best of this recording. Caveat listener, but otherwise enjoy!
