Top 10 List
Top Ten New Arrivals for October!
J L Chave Mon Coeur Cotes du Rhone 2011
This is a blend of Grenache and Syrah from purchased fruit that has wonderful texture, layers of fruit, and character. While it has plenty of weight, the true success of this wine is all the flavor that bubbles just under the surface.
Domaine Le Fay d'Homme Muscadet 2011
The Fay d'Homme is a pure expression of the Gneiss soil. The acidity is present but not aggressive, with expression of white fruits, citrus and blossoms. The wine is immediately very well balanced and enjoyable right after bottling.
Aquitania Cabernet 2011
This delicious Cabernet has some SERIOUS firepower behind it. It has an elegant Macul nose that combines fresh red fruit, cassis, dried herbs, and red pepper. The palate is complete with smooth tannins and loads of red fruit.
Hecht & Bannier Languedoc Blanc 2012
A blend of Piquepoul and Roussanne, the 2012 Languedoc Blanc is a fresh, vibrant white. The Piquepoul Blanc brings this crunchy and vivid character and the Roussanne's citrus fruits and white flowers produce this striking wine with lovely aromatics and a full silky mouth-feel.
Billard Hautes Cotes de Beaune 2012
The 2012 is a layered with fresh cherries and red berries with touches of dried herbs and spice. The weight sits nicely on the palate and finishes with a nice wave of acidity. Bravo Billard. Bravo...
La Liquiere Faugeres Les Amandiers 2012
Les Amandiers is made from young vines resulting in fresh berry aromas : red currant, strawberry, black currant. A pleasant and tender wine, offering great aromatic freshness.
Banshee Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2012
Charming aromatically, this Chardonnay immediately hints toward Asian pear and apple flavors with an underlying cut of lemon framed by hints of Tahitian vanilla from fine grained French oak. It offers hints of more tropical flavors without ever fully realizing them and finishes with ample verve.
Barco de Piedra 2011
"It exhibits notes of flowers, licorice, new saddle leather, black currants and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, complex and on a fast maturity curve, it should be consumed over the next 2-3 years." 91 Points, the Wine Advocate, #202 Aug 2012
Ludovicus 2011
Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, smoky minerals and white pepper, plus a suggestion of dried rose. Silky on entry, then firmer in the middle, with flavors of red and black fruits and floral pastille. The floral quality repeats on the lively, subtly powerful finish.
Rickshaw Cabernet 2011
Dark plum, coffee grounds, and cassis. This base is buttressed by a few mountain sources that provide a streak of red fruit, verve, and structure.
Anton Bauer Wagram Reserve 2011
Winery: Anton Bauer
Varietal: Red Blend
Size: 750 ml
Retail Price: $36.99
35 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Zweigelt, 30 % Blaufränkisch, 5% Syrah and 10 % Merlot. Simply amazing effort for Austrian red wine blended from Cabernet, Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Syrah and Merlot, aged 18 months in new oak. The result is a full-bodied velvety smooth wine with hints of chocolate, rich red berries, coffee and spices.

YES YES YES oh YES: cute, fashionable, stocked with gadgets
Oh dear me no: a bit plasticy inside, Ride choppy in places, 2cyl engine runs out of legs fast
City cars, two of the most depressing words in the English language. I have a recurring nightmare where I'm trapped in a bucket of cheap plastic which exploded in a microwave, which then had a motor from a sewing machine stuck to it with chewing gum. In my nightmare, the viewpoint pans back as if in a Hitchcock thriller, and comes to rest on a plastic brick with buttons for wheels, and I'm stuck inside, in miniature. For that is the curse of the city car.
Only one city car so far has not filled me with such awful dread, VW's fabulous Up! So, when the nice people at Chrysler asked me to take a Fiat Panda for a spin, my heart sank, until I remembered that sweet little Volkswagen.
Did I say Chrysler? Let me explain: in a complex set of circumstances and corporate shenanigans Daimler Benz bought Chrysler, in a POOF of smoke, it turned into Daimler-Chrysler. Like a kid with a new toy, Daimler got bored with their cute little toy, and sold poor Chrysler off. During that period Chrysler acquired much Mercedes DNA and became desirable but wasn't making enough money and didn't suit the Mercedes brand image. Fiat snapped up Chrysler and somehow snorted up Alfa Romeo along the way. Fiat has a big brolly and it's brands include: Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat Automobiles, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Ram Trucks, and SRT Fiat also owns 90% of Ferrari.
Not having driven a Panda before I was unsure as to what might great me.
The outside looks like a fruit box with a tissue box glued to the front which has had a dinner plate stuck on each corner. It's not pretty but it is a pivotal model for Fiat. Fiat has been struggling despite the successful reinvention of Chrysler which has since become quite the money spinner. Although the Cabin feels decidedly low tech, it feels slightly playful. The seats are fairly comfy and the instruments are all easily accessible. The audio system is adequate and has a childlike simplicity to its function which is not bad thing. There is only a 5 speeds in the manual and to save money only the front windows are electric. There is air conditioning but it is strictly a manual affair but the surprising bit is that all Pandas have Satnav. Like VW's Up!, the Panda's Satnav is an after-market TomTom that fits into a factory cradle on the top of the dashboard just above the centre vents. It's easy to program and asks you if you mind paying tolls after each address is input. How terribly sensible. The dash and instruments, like the rest of the vehicle, are utilitarian and functional just as they were meant to be.
I mention all this because entry level cars will be bought entry level boys, in other words those buying their first car. You'd probably be the only gay in the village with a Panda so there would be a certain amount of exclusivity which lends gravitas. What entry level car would be complete without an entry level engine? In yet another cost saving measure the petrol engines are a 51kw 4 cylinder 1.2L, or get this, a 63kw 0.9L 2 cylinder turbo. There is a 51kw turbo diesel too if you're into that sort of thing.
I hadn't read the specs prior to taking the cars out and it is just as well. Those figures would have made me quite depressed. Funnily enough it wasn't as bad as it first seemed. A student might find the 4.2L/100k fuel figures attractive, and a greenie might find the 99g/100km of the 0.9L engine desirable, who knows? The Panda weighs 1024 kgs so the power to weight ratio isn't as dire as you might think. 2 cylinders is a cut too far and sounds like an tin can full of nails. Turbo or not, it just doesn't have the legs. According to the trip computer, yes it also has one of those, we managed 6.2L/100k which is very far from the promised 4.2L/100k. In fact it is 50% more. Sure the internal computer probably isn't all that accurate but 50%? Ford's ECO BOOST gets better fuel consumption and has more power and is nicer to drive regardless of what model it's in.
The gears are fairly easy to use in the manual and there is the awful robotised automatic for those of you who don't know how to drive something with a clutch. The auto is actually a manual transmission with a robotised clutch that does the work of your foot (and hand) for you. In a normal auto, you put your foot down and the transmission smoothly moves through the gears and the shifts as the speed picks up. The shifts have become so smooth that it is getting hard to pick them. The semi auto and its robot clutch it is different. It has as selector like a normal auto with a mode to elect gears yourself. In "drive", you put your foot down at a set of lights for example, and you catapult yourself across the intersection and at a blistering snail's pace. Just as you start to pick up speed, and unseen foot depresses the clutch and you and your chums lurch sickeningly forward as the alleged power vanishes, for quite some time. There is time to make a cuppa, do a load of washing and read War and Peace before the transmission shifts into the next gear. The power then returns and you and the boys lurch back into your seats again. It does this with each and every gear but its affects can be minimised by using the buttons then gently lifting your foot off as it changes. It is possibly the most annoying gearbox in history so don't bother with it.
The ride is soft, almost too soft and the steering is light, almost too light. It makes parking easy with only a single finger being needed to make even the tightest turn. If you do manage some spirited driving you'll find the suspension regularly reaching the end of its travel and bumping noisily on the rubber stops. Like the Alfa Mito, the ride get choppy on very rutted surfaces.
It is not a vehicle you will desire. You won't find yourself aching to get behind the wheel and I very much doubt you would spend your weekends driving in the country out in unadulterated fits of pleasure. No, Panda is designed to be driven in the city, in traffic. It is built to a standard of comfort to make short trips agreeable. Like all Fiats and Alfas, the city cars are designed for smaller people and my long legs mean the seat has to be too far back. Since the steering wheel doesn't adjust out far enough, the seat must be moved closer to the pedals meaning the foot well is a smidgen on the cramped side. Still, it is nowhere near as cramped for a tall person as in Fiat's 500. There are horses for courses and these city cars are designed for someone else.
By now I had managed to shrug off my deeply held prejudices and began to look at the Panda as it was intended, fir for purpose. I stopped imposing my own requirements on it and started asking the question: If I had need of an inexpensive car to make short trips round town, would the Panda cut the mustard. The answer to that question is, of course, a resounding yes. The manual diesel is the pick and they do what they were designed to do very well. They need to be a few-thou cheaper and have auto wipers and headlights.
Would I buy one? No I'd prefer the WV Up!

Deutsche Bank ex-trader pleads guilty to rigging Libor
[NEW YORK] A former Deutsche Bank trader has pleaded guilty in New York to manipulating the Libor benchmark interest rate, according to US court documents released Wednesday.
Timothy Parietti, 50, a former Deutsche Bank managing director, pleaded guilty on May 26, to working with other bankers to rig the widely-used Libor benchmark.
Parietti submitted fraudulent information in the rate-setting process for the London Interbank Offered Rate to benefit his own and his bank's trading positions, according to prosector documents unsealed by a June 21 court order.
The guilty plea comes on the heels of numerous other criminal prosecutions of banks and bankers in the rate-fixing scandal, including a US indictment announced June 2 against two other former Deutsche Bank traders, Matthew Connolly of New Jersey and Gavin Campbell Black of London.
A third Deutsche trader, Michael Cutler of London, pleaded guilty last year to wire and bank fraud charges in the case, the Justice Department said in the June 2 announcement.
Last year Deutsche Bank agreed to pay US$2.5 billion to settle charges in the case with British and US authorities.
The probe is continuing in London as well, where more than 20 people have been charged.

If you have actually decided to crate train your canine, the very first step is to pick a pet dog plastic crate. There are basically three kinds of pet crates- cable mesh, hard plastic, or soft fabric. The hard plastic selection supply numerous benefits over various other selections. They are nearly as durable as a metal cage, and also much lighter and also easier to carry. They generally require little to no set up- at many, a basic issue of clipping the top to the bottom. Due to the fact that they do not have an open mesh or breathable material, however, they do not provide as much ventilation as other kinds, and thus need more attention to the ambient temperature. On the other hand, the extra encased area reduces the pet dog's view of the outdoors, which could make it calmer and also less likely to come to be carsick. Therefore, these pet crates are preferred for usage on car trips. Lastly, if you intend to move your pet on an airplane, these are the only kind of crates accepted by most airlines.
When selecting a pet dog plastic crate, there are a couple of functions to consider, apart from size. If your dog is a young puppy in the chewing stage, or is merely an inveterate chewer, the plastic is at risk of damages from your pets teeth. Not all pet crates are alike in the high quality of their plastic. If you have the plastic crate concerned before you, and aren't averse to devoting a minor act of vandalism, run the side of a coin or your thumbnail along the plastic. If it appears to gouge easily, then it possibly will not take on extended chewing. If you're not interested in harming a cage you do not intend to acquire, ask a salesman for details concerning the resilience of the pet crate.
Additionally, take a look at the doors. The even more doors, the much better- you never recognize exactly what type of setting you'll have to put the plastic crate in. Some cages have doors on both ends, and are pivoted by the exact same device that opens them, indicating they can be opened on either side of the door. These are excellent, considering that they are that much less likely to be blocked by various other furniture or the like. A leading door is not purely needed, however could be preferable.
If you plan to transport the crate regularly, see exactly how comfy it is to bring. Also lightweight plastic crates could be unpleasant to relocate, because of their form. Attempt walking with it a bit, as well as if it has deals with, give them a great pull to see if they flex. If so, they could be lightweight. As kept in mind formerly, many plastic crates offered by www.deaotek.com are made in 2 sections, which can be unclipped from each other. This makes cleaning the inside much, a lot easier, so try to find one that has this function.

Cleveland sports fans were up in arms last month about the rating of the country's top sports cities by The Sporting News, a St. Louis-based national publication that always carried the parenthetical expression "baseball's bible" after its name. But I'm not one of those who are offended.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of my hometown and its sports teams, but the time I sweat survey results about how well liked or respected my town is by people in other areas passed long ago.
The Sporting News produces this rating annually, and in the past, Cleveland ranked much higher than No. 32. That, of course, begs the question: Why is the methodology and results of the survey held in higher esteem when the results are more to the reader's liking than they are when the reader's favorite city is rated low?
These surveys and testimonials from out-of-towners don't do much for me because the criteria used for such rankings are subjective; and without complete knowledge of the rater's method for deciding what he or she likes or dislikes, there is little reason to get huffy.
Long-time readers of this column have heard me before on the value of subjective surveys, which brings me to the subject at hand: Consumer Reports' annual rating of U.S. hotel companies. Like Clevelanders offended by The Sporting News' ranking, hotel companies that aren't ranked in the top half of their respective categories by Consumer Reports are crying foul. But why bother?
First of all, this hotel survey isn't handled the same way Consumer Reports evaluates other products. If one wondered what is the best vacuum cleaner on the market, Consumer Reports employees would use specific criteria to judge vacuum cleaners and come up with a rating of them. It still might be hot air, but at least it's hot air with a method.
Nothing scientific
Hotels get no such respect. For this survey, Consumer Reports sent questionnaires to 41,000 readers who might or might not visit more than one hotel a year. Then, the magazine compiled the information it received and presto, it ranked hotel chains based on four price categories. Never mind that among reader complaints were items such as budget-hotel customers reporting that budget hotels had cramped quarters or lacked storage space. What do they expect for $49 a night?
Still, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.
While I still say it's folly to judge hotel chains by visits to only some of its hotels by travelers using subjective criteria to rate their appeal, Consumer Reports delivers a larger message.
Many of the nation's hotel properties aren't meeting the expectations of its guests and in the process are dragging down their chains and the lodging industry.
I complain about those who surveyed the industry for Consumer Reports because there wasn't any objective criteria, but that's the way it is in the real world. Certainly, there can be things wrong with hotel rooms that 100 percent of guests will recognize, but there are even more items to judge in a hotel room that can be done only subjectively. And the subjective judgment of many is that a great number of the nation's hotel rooms leave much to be desired, regardless of the room price.
Part of the problem is that the hotel industry has failed to educate consumers about what they can expect from a particular-priced hotel. Consequently, many leave feeling shortchanged. An educated consumer can be the lodging industry's best friend if it delivers what is promised and worst enemy if it fails. The weakest link completely destroys the strength of any chain, and invariably consumers find those weakest links, which causes the brand to suffer.
Subjective or objective criteria aside, the hotel industry has a problem. Disappointed guests will hurt it more than any recession will.

Henderson Commercial Indoor Air Quality
Does Your Business Suffer from Poor Air Quality?
The temperature inside your business, regulated by your air conditioning and heating systems, is essential to the efficiency of your employees and the comfort of your customers. Few business owners, though, give much thought to the quality of their indoor air or consider its effect on their health. In fact, indoor air quality has a much greater impact on health than the temperature inside your facility.
Studies from independent industry experts indicate that the air inside our buildings is often several times more toxic than outdoor air. While tight, energy-efficient buildings help to reduce your energy bills, they also reduce the flow of fresh air through your facility.
Inadequate ventilation allows trapped pollutants to accumulate, including:
- Mold and fungus
- Dust
- Smoke
- VOCs and chemicals
- Allergens, bacteria, and viruses
Illness and allergic reactions, including respiratory congestion, headaches, sinus infections, lung conditions, and allergy symptoms (sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes), are all common reactions to poor indoor air quality.
Benefits of Commercial IAQ Services in Henderson
Healthier employees make for a more productive work environment. To help you optimize the comfort and well-being of your team and customers, trust TempRite with your indoor air quality concerns.

Guidelines on use of CT Angio in Patients with stable chest pain
A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate use of CTCA in patients without prior coronary heart disease who present with typical angina, atypical angina, or non-anginal chest pain and abnormal resting ECG.The study published in JACC ,it has been found that CTCA provides minimal benefit in patients with non-anginal chest pain and normal ECG while increasing the rate of cardiac catheterization.
This study is a post-hoc analysis of the previously published SCOT-HEART (Scottish Computed Tomography of the HEART Trail) investigation, a prospective randomized controlled trial that included 3,770 participants in Scotland who were referred for evaluation of suspected stable angina of recent onset and had no prior history of coronary heart disease. Participants were randomized to receive either computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) with standard care or standard care alone. In order to evaluate a 2016 update to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline on chest pain of recent onset, this post-hoc analysis further categorized participants into two groups: 1) a non-anginal cohort consisting of 1,447 patients with non-anginal chest pain and normal electrocardiogram (ECG) and 2) a possible angina cohort consisting of 2,323 patients with typical angina, atypical angina, or non-anginal chest pain and an abnormal resting ECG (defined as the presence of pathological Q waves, left bundle branch block, or ST-segment or T wave abnormalities). Outcome data were updated on June 29, 2016, with a median duration of follow-up of 3.2 years.
Primary endpoints were diagnostic certainty at 6 weeks and incidence of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI):
- CTCA improved diagnostic certainty at 6 weeks in both groups. The benefit was greater in the possible angina cohort (34.9% vs. 15.7%, p < 0.001) than in the non-anginal cohort (32% vs. 25.2%, p = 0.002).
- CTCA use was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of MI in the possible angina cohort (1.9% vs. 3.2%, p = 0.045); a reduced incidence of MI in the non-anginal cohort did not reach statistical significance (1.0% vs. 1.5%, p = 0.379).
Secondary endpoints included 1) rates of cardiac catheterization, 2) changes in cardiovascular drugs prescribed, 3) coronary revascularization, 4) all-cause death, and 5) non-fatal stroke:
- CTCA significantly increased the rate of cardiac catheterization for the non-anginal cohort in the overall follow-up period (6.6% vs. 3.7%, p = 0.014). In contrast, the cardiac catheterization rate for the overall follow-up period did not increase in the anginal cohort (30.2% in CTCA group vs. 32.1% in standard of care group, p = 0.481).
- The use of CTCA was associated with changes in cardiac medications in 26.8% of participants in the possible angina cohort versus 19.4% in the non-anginal cohort (and resulted in a changed diagnosis in 29% of participants in the possible angina cohort vs. 16.9% in the non-anginal cohort).
- The rate of coronary revascularization, all-cause death, or non-fatal stroke was not significantly changed by utilization of CTCA in either the anginal or non-anginal cohort.
CTCA findings:
- The possible angina cohort was much more likely to display evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease on CTCA (29.7% vs. 9.5%, p < 0.001) compared with the non-anginal cohort.
- The non-anginal cohort was more likely to show normal coronary arteries on CTCA (50.1% vs. 33.1%, p < 0.001) compared with the possible angina cohort.
Cardiac catheterization findings:
- The possible angina cohort randomized to CTCA showed a reduced likelihood of having normal coronaries at catheterization (relative risk 0.32, p < 0.001) and an increased likelihood of having obstructive coronary artery disease (relative risk 1.18, p = 0.002).
- In contrast, the non-anginal cohort randomized to CTCA had a similar likelihood of normal coronaries at catheterization (relative risk 0.78, p = 0.622) compared with standard care alone and a similar likelihood of obstructive coronary artery disease (relative risk 0.82, p = 0.422).
It was concluded that in patients with typical or atypical angina or abnormal resting ECG, CTCA significantly increased diagnostic certainty and reduced the risk of MI without impacting the incidence of cardiac catheterization. In contrast, for patients with non-anginal chest pain and normal resting ECG, CTCA was less likely to increase diagnostic certainty, did not reduce the risk of MI, significantly increased the rate of cardiac catheterization, and changed neither the normal coronary rate nor the rate of obstructive coronary artery disease found at cardiac catheterization. These findings provide clinical evidence to support the 2016 update to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines on chest pain of recent onset.

Antique OCTOPUS SPOON Ring$60.00
Designed with re-purposed, vintage silverware.
Handcrafted in the United States by Australian Artist Jennifer Northup, this collection of jewellery is simply stunning - and repurposed for a reason! Following the inheritance of her great grandmother's silverware collection, Jennifer and her husband Daniel were inspired to design a line of jewelry and accessories based on heirloom patterns from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, made from a piece of flatware.
This playful octopus ring was created using fork tines for the tentacles that wrap around to create the band, and his head was inspired by an ornate spoon handle from the late 1800s.
- Adjustable, one size fits most
- silver plate
- Made in the USA

Recently, HEXUS reviewed OCZ's 128GB Octane SDD drive, where we found the drive to be a strong competitor with consistent performance across all file-types, let down primarily by poor write performance, with comparatively abysmal 4k random write IOPS.
It appears as though OCZ took note of the drive's shortcomings and has issued the new v1.13 firmware, which looks to roughly double 4k random write IOPS across the entire Octane range.
|Old Random Write 4K IOPS (FW v1.12)
|New Random Write 4K IOPS (FW v1.13)
|Octane 122GB
|Octane 256GB
|Octane 512GB
If OCZ can continue to pull stunts like these in its driver updates, then the Octane-series will have a bright future indeed. For now though, one of the series' greatest bottlenecks has been considerably widened.

When it comes to a dream garden, the average Brit has a fairly precise list of 'wants'. To be exact: it must be 48 feet long, south facing, and contain a vegetable plot and a hot tub, research has found.
Also high on the list when planning their plot were cosy seating areas, a barbecue and a well-kept green lawn. For maximum enjoyment, decking or a patio and a summer house were required.
Revealed in a survey carried out for Outdoor at B&Q, the findings indicate how much the modern garden has come to be regarded as a space for entertaining and relaxing, and not simply somewhere to grow flowers, fruit and veg, and to do battle against weeds and fast-growing grass.
Brits in possession of a garden are so committed to socialising in it that a drinks' bar and a pizza oven both made the top 20 list of items needed for the ideal garden, too.
When it comes to creating their own piece of paradise just beyond the patio/bi-fold doors, the people questioned reckoned it would take money – approx £1,770 – as well as a lot of digging, planting, mowing and power washing to achieve their dream plot.
Steve Guy, market director for Outdoor at B&Q, says, 'With Brits spending a significant amount of time enjoying their outdoor spaces during the warmer months, it makes sense they'd want to create somewhere to be truly proud of.
'Whether it's a fun area for entertaining or a tranquil spot with lots of greenery, they need to remember that to have their "dream garden" come summer, the groundwork needs to start in spring.
'The research also shows that almost half of us worry the journey to a dream garden would take a serious toll on the wallet, believing it will set us back by an average of £1,770.'
The quest for the dream garden starts in March, with one in three starting outside prep then, and spending on average of 10 hours getting their outdoor space ready. During the summer, on average, Brits spend five and a half hours a week in their garden, with one in 10 saying it is the 'most important' aspect of their home.
Four in five said they would definitely spend more time outside if they had their dream space while one third confessed that the unkempt state of their current garden made them 'sad'.
However, many were being held back from enjoying the garden because they didn't know where to start when it came to making it over, or they felt it was too small. Almost half felt they couldn't afford to do what they wanted, while one sixth admitted they lacked the creative vision.
When it comes to planting, traditional lavender, daffodils and roses are colourful and fragrant favourites. But people are also keen to start growing things to eat as well as to admire. Three in 10 wanted their own vegetable patch, with over half wanting to grow strawberries, followed by tomatoes, apples and blueberries – spurred on by the sense of achievement and the idea of free produce.
Top 20 things Brits want in their dream garden
- Flowers
- Plants
- Cosy seating area
- Decking/patio area
- Large lawn
- Garden path
- Summer house
- Bird feeder
- Pollinating plants
- Vegetable plants

Located in the heart of Majorca, this colonial villa in a faded shade of burnt sienna and turquoise shutters hides a few apartments. One of them is the summer geteway of Tine Kjeldsen, founder of the famous Danish decor brand Tine K Home.
This 1000sf space has been carefully appointed to the family of five by Tine and her husband Jacob. When Tine first opened her business, she was only 22, but already had formed taste and definite plans. She decided to open a store with interior decor accessories in her home town of Charlottenlund. Most of the rare then, stores sold an assortment of items produced by Scandinavian designers and manufacturers. Tine, instead of following the same path decided to search for treasures at the Paris trade fair Maison. All items were kept in a single color palette. The strength of the brand was curated collection. Choose fairly simple objects and fabrics in faded, cool shades that refer to the landscape of Scandinavia. Tine K Home`s signature items come from Asia, Morocco and Scandinavia. Although formed in different parts of the world, they are all created by human hands.
This natural and unpretentious apartment has white walls and cement floors, patterned tiles that resemble the interiors of Mallorca. Wooden window frames introduce some rustic vibe. There are plenty of far from ideal geometric woven baskets and lampshades, small furniture woven from bamboo, raffia and jute are located in almost every corner of the apartment.
Natural textiles play an important role in the decor of the interior. Linen in shades of cool pastels and faded gray in conjunction with the jute rugs emphasize the coastal climate interiors.

Countdown to training camp now sits at 33 days for the Tennessee Titans, and we continue our position preview today with the wide receivers.
Out of all of the position battles set to resume during training camp, this is by far the most intriguing to watch…for a variety of reasons.
For starters…who will come out of camp as the starters?
You would have to figure that Rishard Matthews, who led the team in targets, receiving yards, and touchdowns last season has the upper hand for one starting spot.
It's the other starting spot that will have Titans fans talking throughout the preseason.
Last year's "other" starter, rookie fifth round pick Tajae Sharpe, has his work cut out for him to retain that spot this year.
A tumultuous offseason that included an alleged assault on draft day and a foot injury that caused him to miss part of camp has the second year receiver out of Massachusetts fighting an uphill battle.
And there are plenty of players looking to pounce, starting with rookie Corey Davis.
Tennessee selected Davis fifth overall, and conventional wisdom would suggest that the Titans would like for him to win the job outright with that sort of investment.
After being held back early in camp while nursing an injury, Davis came on late and looked very impressive to close OTAs.
If that wasn't enough to get Sharpe's attention, then the recent acquisition of veteran free agent Eric Decker sure did.
General manager Jon Robinson signed the former Broncos and Jets receiver to a team-friendly one year deal, and he will step on the practice field as the most experienced and productive of all the receivers.
If Decker is fully recovered from his season-ending injury from a year ago then he should/ will get every opportunity to state his claim for the other starting spot.
That brings us to the slot receiver position, one in which Sharpe has no guarantees either.
Tennessee also selected receiver Taywan Taylor with the first of it's two third round picks, and on paper he is faster and more athletic than Sharpe.
Route running and familiarity with the playbook gives Sharpe the advantage in this head to head battle, however, we have yet to see Taylor perform with pads on in an intensified practice environment. Something that Sharpe excelled in during last year's training camp.
Harry Douglas and Tre McBride are still on the roster, for now, and would need to have a lights out training camp to secure one of the last roster spots.
Few teams used a three wide receiver set less than the Titans last season, meaning that snaps for receivers could come at a premium.
The bright side? Every receiver on the roster will have to put their best foot forward in order to get meaningful reps, and the competition should bring out the best in all of them.
Two years ago the Titans only kept four receivers on the active roster. Now they will have that many battling for starter reps.
Just another example of culture change in Tennessee. Just another example of the great job that Robinson is doing re-shaping the roster in such a short time.
Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, this one should be fun.
Next up…the tight ends.

Mohammed Abouhalima. [Source: Corbis]Siddig Siddig Ali, Abdo Mohammed Haggag, Abu Ubaidah Yahya, Mohammed Abouhalima, and others train at a militant training camp in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, with weapons and ammunition provided by Yahya and Clement Rodney Hampton-El (see February 21, 1995). Abouhalima will later be convicted for a role in the 1993 WTC bombing, as will his brother (see February 26, 1993) while the others mentioned will be convicted for roles in the related "Landmarks" plot (see June 24, 1993). [USA v. Omar Ahmad Ali Abdel-Rahman et al, 7/13/1995, pp. 9] Yahya is the chief instructor, as he is an ex-US Marine who served two tours in Vietnam and teaches at a martial arts academy. Siddig Ali will later say of Yahya, "[H]e's decorated and has a lot of medals… [and he was] a great trainer…" The training even includes mock nighttime assaults on a nearby electric power substation. [Kohlmann, 2004, pp. 73] An FBI informant named Garrett Wilson helps lead the FBI to the camp, and the FBI monitors it for two days, January 16 and 17, but the monitoring team is mysteriously pulled away before the end of the second day (see January 16-17, 1993). In a wiretapped conversation with an FBI informant (most likely Wilson), Siddig Ali says regarding the camp, "Our goal is that these people get extensive and very, very, very good training, so that we can get started at anyplace where jihad (holy war) is needed… And after they receive their training, they go to Bosnia… And whoever survives, I mean, could come and [instruct] somewhere else, or Egypt, or any other place, etc…" [Kohlmann, 2004, pp. 73] Hampton-El makes trips to Europe to pick up money from the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA) charity front to fund the camp (see Late 1992-Early 1993). TWRA is funneling huge amounts of weapons into Bosnia in violation of a UN embargo but with the tacit approval of the US (see Mid-1991-1996).

Garrett Wilson, a paramilitary trainer and gun seller working as an FBI informant, had made an agreement to give weapons training to a group of radical militants, but the FBI canceled the plan at the last minute after FBI superior Carson Dunbar worried the FBI could be training future terrorists. Wilson had made the arrangement with Clement Rodney Hampton-El and Abu Ubaidah Yahya, both of whom are connected to the Al-Kifah Refugee Center, which is linked to al-Qaeda and the CIA (see 1986-1993). But while the training has been canceled, Wilson's cover as an informant has not been blown yet and his FBI handlers realize that Wilson would still have to give Hampton-El some equipment he'd bought for him. His FBI handlers Tommy Corrigan and John Liguori proposes that Wilson meet Hampton-El so the FBI can monitor the meeting and see where the trail leads. This time, they avoid Dunbar and get permission from a different supervisor, Neil Herman. Wilson goes to meet Hampton-El at a New Jersey hotel on January 15, 1993. Hampton-El isn't there, but Yahya is, along with two others that Wilson does not know. Wilson hands off the equipment (weapons and military manuals) and quickly leaves, and then the FBI tails the others as they leave. Yahya returns in one car to the Al-Kifah office, where he is the security chief. The others go in another car to the apartment where the Blind Shiekh, Shiekh Omar Abdul-Rahman, lives. The FBI quickly determines the other two men at the meeting are Abdo Mohammed Haggag, Abdul-Rahman's speechwriter, and Siddig Siddig Ali, Abdul-Rahman's Sudanese translator. Corrigan, Liguori, and other FBI agents are stunned by the connections to Abdul-Rahman, who is a well-known public figure. But they will only be allowed to follow up for several days before the surveillance operation is canceled. [Miller, Stone, and Mitchell, 2002, pp. 87-90]

On January 15, 1993, FBI informant Garrett Wilson had led the FBI to a meeting attended by Abu Ubaidah Yahya, Abdo Mohammed Haggag, and Siddig Siddig Ali (see January 15, 1993). Yahya is security chief for the Al-Kifah Refugee Center, a charity front tied to both al-Qaeda and the CIA (see 1986-1993), and Haggag and Siddig Ali both work with the "Blind Sheikh," Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman, who is also closely linked to Al-Kifah. Suspecting a violent plot, FBI agents have a plan to continuously monitor Yahya, Haggag, and Ali from when they leave the meeting, and for the next couple of days that is what they do. On January 16, Yahya leads the FBI to Jersey City, New Jersey, where he is holding exercises for a group of Sudanese and Middle Eastern men. Then the FBI follows Yahya and this group he is leading to a militant training camp on a farm in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania. A squad of investigators watch them practicing martial arts, sniper firing, and rappelling. The agents think that they recognize one of the trainees as Mahmud Abouhalima, who they already strongly suspect was involved in the 1990 assassination of a Jewish leader (see November 5, 1990). (In fact, the trainee is his brother Mohammed - both of them are tall and red-headed.) However, on January 17, FBI supervisor Carson Dunbar calls the squad away from the training camp, preventing them from following the suspects as they return to their homes that evening. The FBI squad is upset, as they are sure following the suspects to their homes would lead to many new identifications and leads. Dunbar claims the surveillance is costing too much money and effectively shuts down further surveillance of everyone but Yahya and Clement Rodney Hampton-El, who has been working with Yahya, and only when they're in close range of the FBI New York office. [Miller, Stone, and Mitchell, 2002, pp. 90-91] Yahya will continue to train his group at the Pennsylvania camp through early February (see December 1992-Early February 1993), but apparently without further FBI surveillance of them.

Siddig Siddig Ali. [Source: Chester Higgins / New York Times]In March 1995, Emad Salem, an FBI informant and an ex-Egyptian army officer, publicly testifies in a 1995 trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plotters. He mentions a plot taking place at this time by Islamic radicals tied to the "Blind Sheikh," Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman (see July 1990). A Sudanese Air Force pilot would hijack an airplane, attack Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, then crash the plane into the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. Siddig Siddig Ali, who will be one of the defendants in the trial, asks Salem for help to find "gaps in the air defense in Egypt" so the pilot could "bomb the presidential house and then turn around, crash the plane into the American embassy after he ejects himself out of the plane." Abdul-Rahman gives his approval to the plot, but apparently it never goes beyond the discussion stage. Although details of this plot are in public records of the World Trade Center bombing trial, both the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry and 9/11 Commission fail to mention it. [Lance, 2004, pp. 196; Intelwire, 4/8/2004] Abdul-Rahman is closely tied to bin Laden and in fact in 1998 there will be an al-Qaeda hijacking plot designed to free him from prison (see 1998). Individuals connected to Abdul-Rahman and al-Qaeda will also plot to crash an airplane into the White House in 1996 (see January 1996).

In the wake of the 1993 WTC bombing (see February 26, 1993), Emad Salem is rehired as an FBI informant. Because Salem has the confidence of the group around the "Blind Sheikh" Omar Abdul-Rahman connected to the bombing, the FBI is so desperate to hire him back that they pay him over $1 million to return. It takes time for Salem to fully regain confidences, but on April 23, 1993, Siddig Siddig Ali approaches Salem and asks him to participate in a series of bombings that he is planning. Siddig Ali explains that he wants to simultaneously bomb four landmarks in New York City: the Lincoln and Holland tunnel, the United Nations headquarters, and the New York FBI office. This will later be known as the "Landmarks" plot. Siddig Ali later tells Salem that he has friends in the Sudanese Embassy who had approved the plan and are willing to help with diplomatic license plates and credentials. Wearing a wire, over the next weeks Salem meets and records others participating in the plot. Many of them, including Siddig Ali, attended a training camp the FBI briefly monitored back in January 1993 (see January 16-17, 1993). [Miller, Stone, and Mitchell, 2002, pp. 113-114] The FBI will expand its surveillance of the plotters and roll up the plot a couple of months later (see June 24, 1993). The US will later eject two Sudanese diplomats, Siraj Yousif and Ahmed Yousif Mohamed, for suspicions of involvement in the plot. Both are said to be intelligence agents posing as diplomats. Later in 1993, the US also places Sudan on a list of terrorist countries. [New York Times, 8/18/1993; New York Times, 4/11/1996]

Informant Emad Salem, pictured bent over in a green shirt, enables the FBI to take surveillance footage like this of the plotters making a bomb. [Source: National Geographic]Eight people are arrested, foiling a plot to bomb several New York City landmarks. The targets were the United Nations building, 26 Federal Plaza, and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. This is known as the "Landmarks" or "Day of Terror" plot. The plotters are connected to Ramzi Yousef and the "Blind Sheikh," Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman. If the bombing, planned for later in the year, had been successful, thousands would have died. An FBI informant named Emad Salem had infiltrated the group, gathering information that leads to arrests of the plotters (see April 23, 1993). [US Congress, 7/24/2003] Abdul-Rahman will eventually be sentenced to life in prison for a role in the plot. Nine others will be given long prison terms, including Ibrahim El-Gabrowny and Clement Rodney Hampton-El. [New York Times, 1/18/1996] Siddig Siddig Ali, who was possibly the main force behind the plot (see April 23, 1993), will eventually be sentenced to only 11 years in prison because he agreed to provide evidence on the other suspects [New York Times, 10/16/1999]

The Boston Herald reports that an internal CIA report has concluded that the agency is "partially culpable" for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (see February 26, 1993) because it helped train and support some of the bombers. One source with knowledge of the report says, "It was determined that a significant amount of blowback appeared to have occurred." A US intelligence source claims the CIA gave at least $1 billion to forces in Afghanistan connected to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. More than a half-dozen of the WTC bombers belonged to this faction, and some of the CIA money paid for their training. The source says, "By giving these people the funding that we did, a situation was created in which it could be safely argued that we bombed the World Trade Center." Those connected to the bombing who went to Afghanistan include Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman, Clement Rodney Hampton-el, Siddig Siddig Ali, Ahmed Ajaj, and Mahmud Abouhalima. [Boston Herald, 1/24/1994] Additionally, Ramzi Yousef trained in Afghanistan near the end of the Afghan war, and there are claims he was recruited by the CIA (see Late 1980s). "Intelligence sources say the CIA used the Al-Kifah Refugee Center in Brooklyn—founded to support the Afghani rebels fighting Soviet occupation—to funnel aid to Hekmatyar, setting the stage for terrorists here to acquire the money, guns and training needed to later attack the Trade Center. CIA support also made it easier for alleged terrorist leaders to enter the country." [Boston Herald, 1/24/1994] It will later be alleged that the CIA repeatedly blocked investigations relating to Al-Kifah, which was al-Qaeda's operational base in the US (see Late 1980s and After).

Memphis Express running back Zac Stacy spoke to reporters after Saturday's 20-18 loss to the Arizona Hotshots. Memphis Commercial Appeal
After throwing two interceptions in the first half Saturday against the Orlando Apollos, the Memphis Express benched quarterback Christian Hackenberg.
Former Tennessee Titans starter Zach Mettenberger, who has not played a snap yet this season, took over to start the second half.
And he threw a 30-yard touchdown to Devin Lucien on his third pass attempt of the second half.
The Apollos took a 9-0 lead into the second half. Mettenberger's touchdown pass cut the Express' deficit to 9-6.
In two-plus games as the Memphis starter, Hackenberg was 32-of-62 for 277 yards. He did not throw a touchdown and has thrown three interceptions.

Please bring a plant to discuss, a topic you want to know about, or a summer adventure to a bonsai event. You never know when a new person will be there.
Hope to see you there!
The next Cascade Bonsai Society meeting is scheduled for March 20 at 7 at Eastwood Baptist Church PM
Click here for directions and map.
NOTE: meeting is in main building library. Use side entrance to church.
1- MGF on May 2,3 and 4
If you are planning to enter a plant(s) in the exhibit Jan will need to know the particulars.
Those unable to attend the meeting should get your info to Jan so she can make the signs.
Our monthly Bonsai tips are brought to you, by special arrangement, courtesy of the John Yoshio Naka Family. You can find the full year's guide and a whole lot more in the book Bonsai Techniques I by John Naka. We have both of Mr. Naka's books, Bonsai Techniques I and Bonsai Techniques II, available for immediate purchase.
Most bonsai begin their growth cycle during this month, and consequently require more care and attention than when they were dormant. Also, like February, March is a month of possible extremes in temperature, and if these occur, extra care is in order.
By now, all bonsai that have been kept in storage or a sheltered place should be brought out in the open where they can receive more sunlight. Especially the deciduous trees which up to now have shown no new sprouts.
If the weather turns unseasonably warm at this time, any tender new growth may become sunburned, and it would be better to place the bonsai in partial shade until the new growth is hardened a bit. However, it should not be kept in the shade too long during this stage or the new growth will become too long and get weak ad spindly. Do not place the bonsai too close to each other on growing bench. Trees should be well spaced so the branches will not touch each other and grow freely.
The general rules of watering apply during this month, but special attention should be given to deciduous bonsai. Most of them will be in a period of extreme growth, and that, in conjunction with the warmer weather, will exhaust the moisture in their pot far more quickly than otherwise would be the case.
It is during these early spring months that one can control the growth of bonsai by the judging and withholding of water. It is risky, however, and one should be quite familiar with each bonsai before trying this method. After the tree has been allowed to dry just enough to wither the tips of the new sprouts, put in a shady place, and do not water the soil. In the evening give the foliage a light overhead sprinkling with a mist spray. The following morning the soil may be watered as usual. Over watering this month can cause dead branches and twigs in the summer.
The flowering and fruiting bonsai will be in bloom by now. After 80% of the buds have blossomed, remove all flowers and remaining buds from the branches of any flowering tree. This will prevent the tree from dissipating too much of its strength in blooms. Do the same with any fruiting trees, except a few blossoms may be left on to form fruit for decorative purposes. The berries may be left on.
Any long sprouts which have destroyed the planned bonsai shape should be cut back now by leaving two or three buds if they are firm and strong. Premature pruning of these will only cause them to die.
March is still too early to fertilize with usual nitrogenous fertilizers. If the past months have be scanty rainfall, the soil in the pots will probably be quite alkaline from salts built up after so much tap water. This now can be neutralized by such additives as soil sulphur and iron tone. Those bonsai, among whose characteristics is vivid autumn leaf color ( maple, ginkgo, oak, elm, sumac), should also be given these additives. Alkaline soil tends to lessen the colors in the leaves of the trees. If the rainfall caused more acid soil, apply wood-ash or gypsum lime to sweeten it.
Generally the period between March and June is the best time to transplant, replant or change soil. Of course, no two species are alike, not for that matter are any two individuals of the same species, but a good rule of thumb to follow is: change the soil or transplant a little late than too early on most deciduous trees as well as pine, juniper, and cypress. It is better to wait until later before disturbing roots on cedar, spruce, hemlock, fir, larch, yew and podocarpus. Transplanting from one pot to another is generally done for aesthetic reasons, but soil changing is necessary for the health of a bonsai. Rapidly growing deciduous bonsai should have its soil changed annually. Very fast growers like willow and tamarix may need it twice a year, once in late spring and again in late summer. The slower growing conifers and evergreens may not need their soil changed more that three or five years.
However, the best indicator of a need for soil change is not time, but the condition of the bonsai. A vigorous, healthy bonsai does not need its soil changed and should not be disturbed. Soil changing invariably brings about new problems in the culture of a particular bonsai. New shoots appear which may spoilt a planned shape; growth stimulation from the new soil may result in over long needles or too large leaves; an aged looking trunk may even lose it appearance of antiquity. It is best to change soil when it is required for the health of the bonsai.
Still a good time for cuttings, especially any large branches of plum, pomegranate and willow.
This is the best time to start grafting deciduous trees.
The delay won't kill you, but certainly could damage your Bonsai.
If you haven't already done your root pruning for the year…. then, by all means do it right now! However, If you don't need it then don't do it just as a ritual. We spent a day last week root pruning our Bonsai and it took nearly 3 hours to do 6 large Bonsai in our collection. It's a task of love. For by doing this you will keep your Bonsai with a fresh, new and youthful root system that will carry it through for a few years to come. Normally, the tropical Bonsai like ficus and snow rose will need root pruning more often than the temperate climate Bonsai like junipers and maples.
Why? It's a matter of the length of their growing season. Temperate climate Bonsai have a rest period in which they do not grow where tropical Bonsai have two periods of growth (which means they grow all the time) in their native situations: a dry season and a wet season. Still, both are growing seasons.
Depending on the size of the pot you may need to root prune your tropical Bonsai from every year to every three years. Temperate Bonsai need root pruning every three to five years. We normally remove about 1/3 of the root mass and remove any roots that don't appear to be helping the Bonsai.as for instance – dead roots or roots that have just grown so big or so long as to be growing out of the holes of its pot.
The new Cascade Bonsai Society website was created to serve as a resource for sharing our passion for bonsai. We encourage you to send in your comments, tips, great links, photos or anything else bonsai related.

I have been attending both Jennifer and Martin over the last 15 years. They both specialize in different aspects of massage, but what both have in common are their kind and compassionate natures, their warmth and generosity of spirit, their wonderfully magical hands and an almost mystical sensitivity that guides the pressure and techniques both use. They are very special people and I can not recommend them highly enough. They may treat the tension in your body, but your mind and emotions will be eased too.
Sandra Alexander
I have been one of Martin's clients from the very beginning, 1998 if I'm correct! I had been encouraged to regularly visit a Massage Therapist by one on GB Cyclings team Physios (Worked with Chris Boardman,Graeme OBree) Martin came along and the rest is history for me.
I still see Martin on a regular basis and can confidently say that without his healing hands I would have given up the sport years ago as niggles became an issue as I got older. It's important that you find a therapist who is both knowledgeable and doesn't leave you sore for days afterwards! Martin appears to be continually keeping up to date on techniques and that can only be a good thing for clients.
For many, competitive sports may only last a decade or so, for myself 21 years in Triathlon at Europeans, Worlds required a lot of preventative maintenance, as well as training and commitment. Martin also shows those qualities. If in doubt give him ago! Proper Preparation and Planning Prevents Poor Performances. Make sure a therapist is part of your planning.
Gordon Macpherson - Triathlon, Scotland/GB
Martin & Jennifer Henck Advanced Remedial, Sports & Relaxation Therapists will help bring you out of pain & stress and maintain a sense of well being. Thanks Jennifer for the many many wonderful sessions you have given me - you are a highly professional and caring therapist with a great touch - I always feel balanced, calm and nurtured at the end of a session.
I would highly recommend Jennifer, thank you!
Breathe, believe and receive!
I have enjoyed the benefit of regular remedial sessions with Martin. He is an excellent therapist with a wide range of skills and experience to draw upon. My posture and flexibility have benefited tremendously and as another bodywork facilitator I would highly recommend him.
Thanks Martin for all your care and experience!
I have known Martin and Jennifer for many years. Over the past four years I have been lucky enough to have monthly massage sessions with Jennifer. I always look forward to them and am never disappointed. They make me feel totally relaxed in both mind and body. My only complaint is that I have to get off the couch afterwards!!!
I think you should seriously consider bed and breakfast Jennifer!
Marion West
Martin is a highly skilled, dedicated, caring professional, who has been treating our disabled son for the past three and a half years. These regular Therapeutic Massage sessions not only aleviate our son's physical pain, but also bring him a much needed sense of calm and well being.
Mr and Mrs Paul Marshall
I first started treatment with Martin in 2006 after a bad back injury that ocurred during a skiing holiday. Martin has been fantastic in helping me back to full fitness and mobility. I still get fortnightly sessions but these days they are more for relaxation benefits.
I am delighted to recommend Martin
D. Small
I have been seeing Martin on a regular basis since 2002. I had played intensive sport for around 30 years and my body was carrying old injuries and strains which were beginning to restrict my movement. With his excellent expertise, he has been instrumental in the gradual 'releasing' of muscles in spasm. I also have an arthritic wrist brought on by over-use in racquet sports, and his regular work in this area definitely helps me to maintain my wrist mobility. I see my massage sessions with Martin as one of the ways of maintaining my well-being.
I recommend anybody with a sports injury to try massage sessions with Martin .

SEO strategies change on a near monthly basis. Chasing Google's standards is more than a full-time job, and what works at the beginning of the year very well may not do anything by the end.
That seems to be the case with one strategy that was sometimes used to build links: guest blogging. The basic ideas was to write content that was then published on other blogs, with links included within the post back to the main firm website.
But that option is about done. Straight from the mouth of Google's SEO chief:
So stick a fork in it: guest blogging is done; it's just gotten too spammy. In general I wouldn't recommend accepting a guest blog post unless you are willing to vouch for someone personally or know them well. Likewise, I wouldn't recommend relying on guest posting, guest blogging sites, or guest blogging SEO as a linkbuilding strategy.
Make no mistake: useful, original legal content writing remains the best way to naturally improve one's online presence. However, you should add that content on your own blog--not one run by others.

Gateshead: over the water from Newcastle, home to the largest shopping centre in the EU; one of Britain's largest sculptures, the Angel of the North and Big Brother narrator Marcus Bentley.
Less well know is its links with the big Japanese city of Komatsu. Gateshead has been twinned with Komatsu since 1991 but first made links in 1987 when the Japanese company of the same name opened a factory in Birtley.
Located on Honshu, the central island of Japan, some 303km north west of Tokyo, Komatsu is located between the East Sea and the Hakusan Mountains and stands at the foot of a plain which is characterised by pine forests and rice and vegetable fields (the name 'Komatsu' means 'little pine').
Like much of Japan there is a great deal of high-tech industry including the Awazu Plant of the Komatsu Company – a major employer of the area's 110,000 population. Our own links to Komatsu stretch back to the late 1970s when we first became an authorised importer and distributor of Komatsu forklifts.
Our Washington branch is also located just down the road from the Birtley factory with the A1M and the A19 just a stone's throw from the Armstrong Industrial Estate.
All the major industrial areas within Tyne & Wear, Co Durham, Northumberland and Teesside are within a 45 mile radius, perhaps one of the reasons why our Washington Branch has grown a customer base in excess of 300 customers and maintains over 500 pieces of materials handling equipment.

The DATIM4U System features a Health Information Exchange or HIE for DATIM Global and one DATIM4U Health Exchange for each USG's in-country PEPFAR team implementing DATIM4U. The diagram below depicts how a DATIM4U HIE interacts with the DATIM Global HIE.
The aggregate data exchange (ADX) message that is sent from the DATIM4U system carries the aggregate reporting data containing the MER targets or results data that is required by the DATIM system. However, for the DATIM Global system to understand that transaction and properly interpret the data, both the 4U and Global systems need a way to ensure that they are working with the same sites and mechanisms. In DATIM4U, this interoperability is supported by ensuring that both systems are using site and mechanism data from the proper data sources.
The key components are based upon the OpenHIE Architecture & Standards.
HMIS (Health Management Information System) - In both the 4U and Global HIEs, DHIS2 is depicted as the Health Management Information System. This can be any HMIS, but IN DATIM4U DHIS2 is being used.
FR (Facility Registry) - In the current DATIM4U pilot, the Facility registry for managing the site hierarchy and facilities is DHIS2.
ILR (Interlinked registry) - The the ILR support the transactions for exchanging site and mechanism metadata.
Interoperability Layer - This layer manages the transactions and provides a layer of security to ensure that transactions are only received by authorized senders.
The following transactions are supported by the DATIM4U system.
Overview - DATIM4U Site Exchange Process - The DATIM Global facility hierarchy is kept in sync with PEPFAR by ensuring that any changes or additions that are made in the DATIM4U site hierarchy are propagated to the DATIM Global system on a regular basis.
Overview - DATIM4U Mechanism SynchronizationOverview - DATIM4U Mechanism Synchronization - The mechanisms in DATIM4U come from FACTS Info which is the source system for the mechanisms. This data is kept in sync by a nightly transaction that updates DATIM4U.
Workflow - DATIM4U ADX (Aggregate Data eXchange) Process - The ADX interaction submits the country's collected indicator data to DATIM Global. It is initiated by a DATIM4U user using an application in the DATIM4U's DHIS2 System. This transaction will also initiate a site exchange to ensure that any new or updated sites are present in the global system.
For the transactions above, security in transit is managed by the 4U and Global OpenHIM software. The communication between the two OpenHIMs ensures authentication to verify the sender, authorization to ensure that the sender is allowed to send that content to the recipient and encryption in transit.
Ability to enter and access target and results data is managed through the DHIS2 interface user roles.
2. DATIM functionality supported by DHIS2
In many cases the functionality of the DATIM4U DHIS2 system has replicated functionality from the DATIM Global DHIS2 system. The following are some of the main features that are supported by DHIS2. The Links to DATIM are provided where there is no significant difference in technology.
Entering or uploading MER Target or Results data
Site management is very similar to the DATIM process.
Like the Global DATIM process, Data set assignments are applied when new sites are entered.
User administration functionality for adding and managing users is the same as DATIM.
The following is a matrix of the data that is exchanged between systems.

FISMA 2016 Executive Summary
The State of Federal Cybersecurity In 2016, cybersecurity continued to become a household term among the American public, as millions of citizens had their personal data and devices exposed to ever expanding cyber threats. During the year, malicious actors compromised several social media and email services, leading to the exposure of personal data for a large portion of their user bases. In October 2016, a distributed denial of service attack used seemingly innocuous internet-connected devices to cripple servers that connect the public to many popular websites. The exploits that led to these cyber incidents were not new, and demonstrate that we must redouble our efforts to inform Americans and companies across the country of methods that they can employ to protect their data from malicious actors.Click for 2016 FISMA Report
Office of Management and Budget
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) worked with agencies to develop policies aimed at strengthening cybersecurity across the government, including a revision to OMB Circular A-130, Managing Information as a Strategic Resource, which sets the overarching framework for managing Federal IT resources. OMB also collaborated with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to publish the first-ever Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Strategy to help agencies recruit and retain top cyber talent. OMB and its interagency partners look to build on these policies and continue driving cybersecurity performance in the coming years.
Federal Agencies were Not Immune
Federal agencies were not immune to these exploits in 2016, with over 30,899 cyber incidents that led to the compromise of information or system functionality. Sixteen of these incidents met the threshold for a major incident, a designation that triggers a series of mandatory steps for agencies, including reporting certain information to Congress.
During the year, Federal agencies made considerable progress in strengthening their defenses and enhancing their workforces to combat cyber threats. In particular, agencies worked to enforce the use of multi-factor Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards, with 81% of government users now using this credential to access Federal networks. Additionally, over 70% of Federal agencies have employed strong antiphishing and malware capabilities to help safeguard their networks from malicious activity. Agencies have also made significant progress toward safeguarding their high value information technology (IT) assets and employing capabilities to identify, detect, and protect hardware and software assets on their networks.
Agency FISMA Progress
This annual report provides Congress with information on agencies' progress towards meeting cybersecurity performance goals in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 and the results of the independent Inspectors General (IGs) assessments that identify areas in need of improvement. This report also provides information on Federal cybersecurity incidents, ongoing efforts to mitigate and prevent future incidents, and agencies' progress in implementing cybersecurity policies and programs to protect their systems, networks, and data.
