Midday – 2pm, over 6 days
The benefit of this location was that I was able to paint extremely similar sunlight on water conditions over 5 or 6 days, staying a short distance from the coast. I wanted to use this opportunity to build up a water study of intense coloured brush strokes neighbouring one another, following the work of Monet and the Impressionists, I wanted to explore sea/water painting for many years and this trip was ideal.

Like I said in my July to-sew list, I'm really excited about this month's Project #SewMyStyle garment. The Valley Blouse looks super cute, and was actually something I was interested in sewing before this whole shindig began! So I'm happy that this one finally came around. Really, I love Sarah's example photos, with that cute white swiss dot fabric. I'd recreate that in a heartbeat! But that's not as fun as doing my own thing — and I want to give you some ideas for doing just that today. Presenting: six ways to make the Valley Blouse your own!
*some of the links on this page are affiliate links. this means that I may get a small commission from purchases you make using them, but doesn't cost you anything! of course, I only share things I love and that I think you'll love too.*
Six Ways to Personalize a Valley Blouse
Fabric Choices
If you're in the Northern hemisphere and in the midst of summer, this is a great choice for you! Maybe your office is a little chilly, and you're ready for long sleeves — bring the outdoors inside with a gorgeous garden print! Splurge on some Liberty, or save with another beautiful floral print.
The Valley Blouse is a super fun way to play with stripes or directional prints. Because there's a yoke and sleeves, you could have a great time experimenting with layout and direction. I would do the body in vertical stripes, and the yoke in horizontal or bias stripes. The sleeves would look really cool in a bias stripe as well! Remember to order extra fabric if you're working with stripes. Some people (not me…) like to match them, and if you're having fun with the layout of the pieces that often takes extra room.
I'm thinking about you, Southern hemisphere friends! A nice cozy flannel plaid would be a super cute choice for a Valley Blouse. Sarah recommends lightweight fabrics, and I can't tell from the pattern preview online how much ease there is in the pattern. Consider sizing up if you think a heavier fabric would make the blouse too tight for you.
Design Elements
Tie Front
I'm really loving the tie front trend, lately! The Valley Blouse should be easy to adjust for this feature — it has buttons, but you can attach ties to the front. I also have a pin on my board where there are grommets at the front, and a ribbon tie between. If you're more fashion-forward than I, this would be so fun! You could also easily adjust the buttonholes to do a lace up front.
Bell sleeves
Who doesn't love a good bell sleeve? The Valley Blouse's bishop sleeves are gorgeous and classic, but bell sleeves would also be sooooo cute. You could start them at the elbow and make them 3/4 length for sure. But why not go big or go home and make them giant bell sleeves all the way to your wrist?! Whatever length you decide, Mimi G has a great tutorial on how to adjust a pattern for bell sleeves. Just be sure to adjust the Valley sleeve to be the width you want where the bell would begin first.
If y'all are surprised at this point by me including embroidery on a post, read the entire blog again! But seriously — I love a little embroidery, and the small yoke of the Valley Blouse is a great beginner option. You can read about embroidery tools here, and techniques here, and the second link includes how I transferred a design of my own to a yoked dress. I won't be releasing a pattern to go with this top, but if you're looking for something, you may be able to adapt Allie's free pattern!
I love all these options — if I had the time I'd be making tons of Valley shirts this month! But if you're not seeing anything here that appeals to you, check out my Pinterest board for the Valley Blouse. All of the photos in this post can be found there, and there's even more inspiration. And if you do find something from this list that you end up making, I want to see it! Tag me on Instagram with #maddiemadethis or @maddiemadethis, or send it to me at hello @ maddiemadethis.com. You could get reposted on Instagram or featured in my fortnightly newsletter. PS — this weekend happens to be newsletter weekend, so sign up below if you're not already on the list!


text: Up for sale is a barely used White Apple iPhone 4S with 32 Gigs. It does have a tiny nick at the top and bottom plastic corners, but I'm EXTREMELY picky with my devices, most people wouldn't even notice. I've had screen protectors on the front and back of the device since day one so there are no scratches, scuffs or blemishes on the screen or back cover, both of which are glass and in mint condition! This particular model is White and has 10 months remaining on the warranty, so if you have any issues in the future, you'll have piece of mind that Apple will cover it. Retail this phone is $749. You can get it for $300 if you want to sign a two year contract and tie yourself to a $350 early termination fee. I have all cables, original packaging, etc. With this phone, simply pop in your existing sim card without having to worry about signing a contract! FYI, this is the AT&T/GSM version. I've sold numerous phones on this site and every transaction has gone smoothly with Brethren satifsied. The only reason I'm selling it is because I want to snag a Nexus 7 and new iPad....that ain't a cheap combo With this phone, simply pop in your existing sim card and don't worry about signing a contract!

... Seems one project gets completed and another starts. For DH. Which involves moi's participation.
Today's project is readying the phone system for the switch to a cable phone provider. We have a large home, tweeked to the geek. There are things that talk to each other through the phone lines and Sisters, I have NO clue how any of it works. Zip. And frankly, I don't much care because this house is only alive because DH is. When he is called to his maker, I have to move because I don't know how anything besided the basic appliances in this house works. Oh I can cook, run the washer and dryer... I've even progressed to getting pictures from the digital camera to the computer.
And that is my limit. I can't pay bills on-line, can't operate the ride-on mower, don't dare try and touch the coffee grinder and espresso machine (from Italy, too complicated).
DH, however, seems to think I am much smarter than I am. This afternoon and evening were spent trying to figure out where in the vast system of wires did the red and green get switched with the black and yellow. Huh?
I helped awhile, holding the flashlight, confirming what he saw, but mostly surfed the web. Had ambitions of sleying the reed, but needed to be close by for consultations (read listen and hopefully understand enough to contribute). Glad to be able to spend the time with him, but that's it for today.
Maybe tomorrow :)

BMEX - Broken Hill and Mount Isa Zn-Pb-Ag Projects
In mid 2018 Altius Australia sold its 100% interest in 3 granted Exploration licences over Broken Hill district (Figure 1) and 4 similar licenses on the Mount Isa district to a private Australian explorer, BMEX for 3.5 million shares (500,000 shares per license) and retention of a 1% gross sales royalty covering the licenses. As part of the arrangement BMEX is required to go public within 18 months and to spend a minimum of $500k in expenditures advancing the claims. At the end of June 2019, Altius ownership has increased to 8 million shares, having received additional payments in shares. BMeX is preparing for an ASX listing.
The Broken Hill properties cover an extensive area (347 km2) of largely untested prospective Broken Hill Group stratigraphy under cover in the western part of the district.
The Broken Hill deposit is the largest single sediment-hosted Zn-Pb-Ag deposit in the world and has been mined continuously since the late 1800's, and the region continues to support three mining operations. The project area lies under cover to the west of the outcropping area of the Broken Hill block. Whilst there has been previous exploration, the large area under claim has only hosted a total of 18 drillholes which intersected basement. These drillholes have largely confirmed the presence of prospective Broken Hill Group rocks.
License EL8485 - Reinterpretation of magnetics and gravity (Figure 2) has allowed the identification of a likely synsedimentary growth fault which marks a transition from relatively thin Broken Hill Group to a relatively thick and polydeformed sequence in the main part of the tenement. Reprocessing of gravity data has allowed the recognition of a gravity ridge which crossed this structure and may be related to underlying faults and/or lithological boundaries. The small amount of drilling in the area has confirmed the presence of Broken Hill group rocks, though the main target area has not yet been tested
License EL8569 - Magnetic interpretation on this area has allowed the recognition of a structural inlier of Broken Hill Group within stratigraphically lower and more magnetic rocks. Within this package there are a number of strike-discontinuous magnetic anomalies which may represent the BIFs often encountered in association with Broken Hill lode rocks. The overall geological setting in this area is somewhat analogous to that seen at Cannington in Queensland, another BHT deposit.
License EL8484 - In this area, subcrops of Broken Hill group lie under shallow cover. Previous exploration has been strongly focused on geophysics, and there is potential to trial geochemical approaches which may identify systems not tested in previous programs.
The Thorntonia Project (EPM26518, EPM26514) targets Isa/Century style zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. The area is under shallow to moderate cover interpreted to be mainly less than 100m. EPM26514 boasts an untested magnetic anomaly identified by CRAE in the 1990's which remains untested due to 'difficult drilling conditions'
The Min Min Project (EPM26516) targets Cannington-style Silver-Lead-Zinc mineralisation. The area is under 300 + metres of cover, with the interpreted basement lithology being Norna Quartzite of the Soldier's Cap group. The structural setting is interpreted to be at the intersection of CS2 and CS3 transfer faults.
The Surprise Project (EPM26517) targets Isa/Century style zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. Cover interpreted between 100 and 200m. Target stratigraphy intersected by previous explorers is confirmed in the Altius ground. The tenement application is in 2 parts straddling the Bluebush Zn Project held by Pursuit Minerals.
Silver Opportunity
Broken Hill's silver endowment also places it amongst some of the greatest silver districts in the world, though little attention has been paid to the high-grade silver targets in the district. The project hosts a large number of silver occurrences and historical mines which were exploited in the late 1800's, the most important of which was the Umberumberka mine (within EL8485), which produced 43,000 tonnes at an average grade of 10% Pb and 796 g/t Ag, including high grade samples of up to 66,650 g/t Ag hosted in quartz-siderite veins of up to 4 metres width. Historical reports and recent drilling show that mineralization remains open at depth, and the retrograde shear zones which host silver mineralization are extensive in the area under claim.
Thackaringa-type deposits occur in clusters, with some of the largest clusters occurring in the Broken Hill Block North area. The deposits form an arcuate discontinuous belt of clusters extending north-easterly along the Apollyon Valley schist zone and its forks, as well as in the Silvertone area (EL8484) where the Altius ground is located, and in the Consols mine near Broken Hill. Retrograde Schist zones control the distribution of these belts.

Teflon conveyor belt
Most people know Teflon as the coating that is used in non-stick cookware, where it allows food to sear without getting stuck to the pan. However, this is certainly not the only application of this brand of PTFE. Teflon is also used in industries that work with a conveyor belt. The Teflon coating on the conveyor belt prevents products getting stuck.
This has numerous advantages. First of all, if products do not get stuck on the conveyor belt, they can be transported evenly and swiftly, which enhances the production process. Second, a Teflon conveyor belt is perfect for use in the packaging industry, where packs with products are sealed using high temperatures.
Why choose a Teflon conveyor belt?
That application is one of the main reasons that manufacturers choose a Teflon conveyor belt. Since it is heat-resistant up to high temperatures – Hardick sells belts that can withstand a temperature of 260 degrees Celsius -, it can be used to pack all types of foods, without delaying the process.
Our Teflon conveyor belts are really innovative and created based on over a century of knowledge and experience in the industry. They are an answer to questions such as 'how do I make an invisible PTFE weld' or 'How do I get a perfect match between PTFE and the glass or aramid fabric'.
Global partner
Solving problems like this has turned Hardick into a global partner for businesses all around the world. From our headquarters in the Netherlands, we serve customers in Holland, Europe, and even in Japan and Australia. Our sales engineers travel throughout the world and visit customers to find out what they are dealing with.
We discuss wish lists, problems, and requirements with designers, operators, and senior managers and use all this input to create innovative solutions that can be used to enhance both the production process and the industry itself. We even have an in-house project team that specialises in this.
Hardick is your partner for a new Teflon conveyor belt
In short; Hardick is your perfect partner if you are looking for a new Teflon conveyor band. We have a large production capacity, a wide range of stock, and you can always count on our efficient planning and automated production facility to produce most orders within one to three days.
And in case of emergency, we also offer an emergency breakdown service that can produce any band within just a few hours. Our transport partners will make sure that this replacement will be delivered as soon as possible and our onsite team can install it right away. That way, delays are an issue of the past.

Rector's speech at the begining of the second semester – 2018
Dr Gideon P. Petersen
Rector of UAZ
Message dedicated for all the students presented on the Chapel program, a worship program to start the second semester activities and studies.
As the semester began on Monday, May 7th, 2018, in the Chapel of Université Adventiste Zurcher, students, teachers, staff members and administrators were all gathered during the worship service to start this long second semester. The Rector, Dr. Gideon Petersen, during his short speech, attracted audience's thoughts on the privilege of everyone having the opportunity to have higher education.
"Expecting great thing from God! Attending great thing from God! And do great thing for God", he started his presentation. Three powerful sentences that should summarize the life of a student or the life of each person. " 7% of Malagasy children go to high school, 35% of that 7% finished school, and this is a privilege! Education is not about you! Because you have a privilege. God privileged you to have education. And it's molding you and shaping you for a purpose. Not for you only, but for a great purpose." Remember: "Every 45 seconds in the earth: one person died by suicide. Every 60 seconds: Someone else killed another person! Every 100 seconds: someone died because of war! How do you feel? How does the Creator feel? there are 17 000 people groups on the world, but 42% of them have never heard the name of Jesus.
Among the 7000 different languages in the world, only 674 have Bible. (…) How does it make you feel?"
« You are privileged. God has chosen you among the young people in Madagascar to have education. What would you do with education? God has a purpose for your life. And because it is a purpose for your life: you need to ask him: What is the impact of my education on the society, in the community? how can you have his heart (God) to develop his character in the community? He had chosen you to be a student today."
Galatians 2:20: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."(KJV)
After reading Galatians 2:20 , he concluded his sermon and said : "Whatever you study: you have a connection and He lives in you! (…) To live: trust in Him and you can transform the community. We cannot change the world entirely but we can impact the world around us. And that is the raison why you have a privilege (of education), so that you can impact and change the community. May God bless you as you trust Him to empower you!"

Data from the International Food Council Foundation suggests that even though a majority of males are conscious that adjustments to their diet could benefit their overall well being, fewer than half really comply with by means of with these alterations. For instance, men tend to have a bigger frame and more muscle mass than women do. Along with the variations that you can see, guys and women's systems vary in other significantly less obvious way, such as in their biological processes. For example, a study published in the Journal of the American Society of Clinical Nutrition shows no overall performance improvement in runners soon after 3 months of multivitamin supplementation. Who makes it: Anavite Multivitamin is made by Gaspari Nutrition, a big sports supplement organization.
Even though some current research have questioned the worth of them for preventing situations like heart disease and cancer, authorities say a fundamental multi could act as an insurance policy for guys who have nutritional gaps in their diet regime. Regardless of whether you are already taking a every day multivitamin or stay away from them altogether, it's time to reconsider how you take in your daily vitamins, nutrients and minerals. Ideally, these options have 100% of the daily worth of the vitamins and minerals needed for great well being.
For folks who do not get all the vitamins and minerals they want from a healthful diet regime (the majority of Americans), a multivitamin could appear like a cheap, simple way to reap the same benefits. A multivitamin is a single of the ideal supplement investments you can make to help diet, general well being, and even your exercising or athletic efficiency. The list goes on and on, and every multivitamin is created differently to be the ideal for that exact goal.
Best Men Multivitamin is one of the highest high quality, scientifically-formulated ideal multivitamins obtainable for males these days, designed to promote optimal reproductive well being and overall nicely-being in guys of all ages. You appear to fall in one particular of the special populations" that do advantage from traditional multivitamin supplementation.
I thought we have been supposed to keep away from that, at least that's what Customer Reports says. Even though guys and ladies share most of the identical basic nutritional demands, the two sexes have important variations requiring special interest. Males that are 70 years or older need to increase the intake of vitamin D if they lack sufficient sunlight. Bottom line: General, Men's 1 Multivitamin is a excellent selection for men searching for a normal multivitamin. For guys, I personally use and totally recommend GNC's Mega Men It passed all the independent lab testing I saw and consists of the appropriate amounts of the proper nutrients most guys require on a day-to-day basis.

40-year old Garage Floor in North Raleigh, NC
Here we did a 40-year old slab in a garage in north Raleigh. The slab was in pretty bad shape with much damage and staining. We ground out all the years of stains and repaired the floor to receive one of our wonderful coatings. This is a dark grey epoxy with a moderate broadcast of black marble finished with a high end clear coat with anti-slip additive.

There are tons of different ways to make gazpacho, and watermelon is an interesting addition. When I first heard about it I was skeptical, but I actually really liked it. Red onion balances the sweetness, and the watermelon doesn't dominate too much. I was afraid it would be like a tomato agua fresca, but this recipe comes out solidly soup-like. Refreshing too!

I know many people who are following low-sugar diets. While smoothies can pack tons of nutrients, they also usually come with plenty of sugar. I generally think the sugar in my smoothies is offset by all the fiber and nutrients, but I wanted to see what I could do for the low-sugar folks. I designed this smoothie to be a filling meal with ample fat and protein. It is bright and energizing—perfect for a summer morning. Continue Reading →
There are many types of halva, but, when I think of halva, I think of the fudge-like sesame confection. I combined sesame seeds with cooked sweet potato for this satisfying smoothie. The fat and protein from the sesame seeds and the bulk from the sweet potato makes it more filling than an all-fruit smoothie. Continue Reading →
I had a big bag of dried cherries and was playing around with different uses for them, and I was surprised at how tasty these bars are. I started with my bare-bones larabar recipe, added cherries instead of dates, and then added chia seeds and rolled oats. Continue Reading →

Most strawberry smoothie recipes call for bananas, and, since I can't stand bananas, I've avoided predominantly strawberry smoothies. However, a while ago I heard about people using summer squash as a banana substitute. It sounds weird, but it has such a mild flavor that it works, and it helps bulk out the smoothie. I also used a date to add the sweetness that a banana would have provided. Continue Reading →
This is an interesting blended soup that's a sort of cousin of potato leek. Celeriac (celery root) looks pretty gnarly, but it cooks up into a tasty soup. Even though this recipe doesn't use any stock, the result is satisfyingly savory. Continue Reading →

This time of year my house is pretty cold, so ice-cold smoothies are not too appealing. Some smoothies are great warm, and this apple smoothie is one of them. It strongly evokes apple pie, and it's ready in minutes. The pecans step it up a notch and give it a little pseudo-buttery deliciousness. Continue Reading →
I almost always use my Vitamix for healthy blends, but it is also a useful tool for making decadent desserts. Here's a recipe for a delicious chocolate buttercream frosting that comes from a 1973 edition of Joy of Cooking. It's listed as Easy Chocolate Icing, and it's the one my mom has been using for chocolate birthday cakes for decades. Continue Reading →

Take Action- Stop Record Energy Tax
You cannot spend into prosperity, you cannot tax into prosperity, and to do both will get you the opposite!
How We Fight
Washington is now completely in the dark—we are here to help you put the heat on.
The Heat Starts Here
The Senate is now considering the Kerry Boxer cap-and-trade bill. A similar bill was passed by the House in June on 219-212 vote. This bill, which is supported by Al Gore and his band of global warming alarmists, would raise our electricity prices through the roof. It would also send millions of U. S. manufacturing jobs to foreign countries. Working families would be hurt the most by higher and higher utility bills and gasoline prices. But many big corporations hope to strike it rich. Al Gore's investment funds, General Electric, Dow Chemical, Duke Energy, GM, Ford, Caterpillar, Shell, BP, and Goldman Sachs all support cap-and-trade. Freedom Action urges you to tell your Senators to vote for the American people and against the special interests.

Both houses of Congress passed the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act, which enacts the toughest lead standards in the world and bans six phthalates from children's products! MomsRising.org members were critical in carrying this legislation to victory. Thanks to your over 100,000 letters to Congress we've won a major victory of parents over corporate interests (yes, 100,000!!!). In a stunning recognition of the power of everyday moms and dads, only 3 Senators and one House Representative dared to vote against the legislation. We've got the power! We're not stopping now–there's another critically important piece of legislation to keep kids safe from toxic products which needs our support, the Kids Safe Chemical Act–and we need your help. This Act mandates that chemicals are proven to be safe BEFORE they are put in children's products, instead of being pulled after they are found to be toxic.

We were overwhelmed with film submissions this year. It was difficult to make the choices, understanding the hard works of all the filmmakers, who of course would like their films screened everywhere. It was difficult not to include all the films in the Festival.
Since we don't choose a specific theme for the Festival, we look at each film for its originality in concept, uniqueness in presentation, and difference in approach for approving the selection. The chorus of voices from the selected films gives a natural theme to the Festival — about our own lives, beliefs and imaginations.
The array of films being screened at the festival reflects the above. In particular, the documentary Poverty, Inc is not to be missed. This film investigates the multi-billion dollar Western "poverty industry", and its interventions in the developing world.
As in past Festivals, we have thirteen Awards chosen by a grand jury, and an Audience Award chosen by the filmgoers.
The Free Spirit Film Festival was the first and the original annual film festival in McLeod Ganj. It was launched by Lobsang Wangyal Productions in 2004. The festival is also known as McLeod Ganj International Film Festival.
The Festival is aimed at sharing beautiful stories, concerns, interests, and creativity. The Festival particularly promotes independent filmmakers.
Manifesting true "free spirit", the Festival has no boundaries, and screens films in all genres from all over the world.

How Can HR Drive Growth?
Edited by George Saridakis and Cary L. Cooper
Chapter 10: Creating and sustaining economic growth through HR
Hai-Ming Chen, Ku-Jun Lin and Yen-Lin Huang
With the rise of the knowledge economy, the importance of intellectual capital has grown. The concept of intellectual capital was raised by Galbraith in 1969, since when the market to book value of corporations around the world has increased dramatically. The implication of this phenomenon is that value creating factors have shifted from tangible assets to intangible ones. Thus, in order to create and sustain economic growth, there is a need for both scholars and practitioners to break down the value creating process and identify the crucial intellectual capital that creates value. However, there is no consistent definition of intellectual capital. For example, Chen et al. (2004) argue that intellectual capital includes human capital, structural capital, innovation capital and customer capital. Human capital is the source of all intellectual capital, and through structural capital and innovation capital, human capital can enhance customer capital. Wang and Chang (2005) use the Taiwanese information technology industry as an example and conclude that by using the human capital, performance can be increased through the enhancement of innovation capital and process capital. Sveiby (1997) suggested that market value is created by tangible net book value and intangible value, which includes external structure, internal structure and individual competence. Edvinsson and Malone (1997), using a similar structure, argue that market value is composed of financial capital and intellectual capital, including human capital, structure capital and customer capital.

Yielding short-term ROI, CMDBs gain favor in 2008 data center budgets
Deployment of configuration management databases has increased since 2007, with data center managers seeing immediate ROI from these tools, according to the Data Center Decisions 2008 Purchasing Intentions Survey. But overall, systems management spending remains incremental.
For some time, systems management vendors have touted their tools' promise in managing complexity and bringing automation to data centers. But respondents to the Data Center Decisions 2008 Purchasing Intentions Survey remain skeptical about the potential of these tools.
While nearly 65% of respondents' data center budgets have increased over budgets in 2007, data centers have not made significant increases in systems management spending for activities like monitoring performance, increasing data center automation and conducting capacity planning.
According to our 2008 Purchasing Intentions Survey of more than 600 respondents, only 35% of respondents plan to increase spending on these tools, and 42% plan to spend the same amount as they did in 2007. Interest in the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) also remains lukewarm. About 70% of respondents have not implemented ITIL. Those that have implemented ITIL have taken a piecemeal approach, focusing largely on its more basic service support and delivery components.
Tackling data center complexity
But data centers have extended use of some management tools -- particularly configuration management databases (CMDBs) -- to track and manage the complexity associated with a growing number of servers, configurations and interdependencies. Nearly 80% of respondents either have or are evaluating a CMDB. "If you're in a small data center environment, you can do things without tools [like CMDBs]," said Jasmine Noel, a partner at New York-based Ptak, Noel & Associates. "But as soon as you get into tens or hundreds of servers, with people from different [parts of IT] doing different things, you need help; you can no longer just remember what you did to the system a week ago. That explains why people are putting some dollars into configuration management databases."
Still, spending on and implementation of systems management tools overall remains incremental, similar to findings from last year's Data Center Purchasing Intentions Survey . "Our research shows an ongoing lack of trust in systems management tools," said Andi Mann, a research director at the Boulder, Colo.-based research firm Enterprise Management Associates. With increasing data center interdependencies, respondents' environments "are extremely complex, and they don't believe tools can deal with that complexity," he said.
Figure 1: Spending on systems management tools in 2008
Building trust in systems management tools
Whither data centers' resistance to implementing these tools? No doubt, cost and lack of staff to manage these tools figure significantly into the spending picture. Nearly 37% of respondents say they don't have management tools because of budgetary constraints, and lack of staff is a barrier for another 24%. But skepticism about return on investment is also a factor. For 10% of respondents, there is also question about whether these tools offer sufficient value.
Figure 2: Reasons for not investing in systems management software
According to Mann, however, respondents' reasons for not investing in systems management tools reflect concern not only about cost and staff to handle these systems but also a continued lack of sophistication in data center management. "A lot of enterprises are not using sophisticated tools, and it has to do with a level of maturity," he said.
But respondents' increasing adoption of CMDBs indicates efforts to take on a more sophisticated management approach. In the 2007 Purchasing Intentions survey of 374 respondents, 24% of respondents had invested in configuration management databases, and another 24% were evaluating them.
In contrast, this year, 55% have invested in a CMDB, 5% will purchase one, and another 19% plan to evaluate one this year. This growing investment indicates that data centers have begun to lay the groundwork for future automation and more well-defined processes. "A good CMDB implementation provides the linchpin for future automation," said Mann. "You need to know what servers exist, what their configurations are before you can automate [activities like] bringing them up or shutting them down." And with server virtualization pervading data centers -- some 72% of respondents will have deployed server virtualization by the end of 2008 -- managing data center interdependencies and complexity has become paramount.
Figure 3: Configuration management database adoption
CMDBs address pain points, show immediate ROI
Thus, increasing interest in CMDBs indicates that IT shops now use these tools to lay the foundation to achieve greater data center maturity, more well-defined process and less manual management. "Among our own respondents in a recent survey, the strongest reason to employ a CMDB was to enable process," said Mann. "They need CMDBs to help them achieve that maturity. And the next step is more management tools, specifically around process automation." Still, while data centers have begun to lay the groundwork for greater maturity, investment in a variety of tools -- for say, capacity planning, performance monitoring and other systems management activities -- to aid these efforts remains slow.
Noel believes that the increase in respondents' CMDB adoption reflects the increasing pragmatism of data center spending. "Data centers start where they experience the most pain," she said. "When people use a CMDB, they use it to solve a particular problem like application troubleshooting, for example. They're spending a slowly increasing budget by tackling a specific IT management problem with tools that they can leverage for [other management uses] later on but that can give them some value today."
According to Mann, it makes sense for data centers with competing priorities to focus on initiatives that show clear return on investment. "For these shops, they have other day-to-day must-haves," Mann asserted. "They're looking at the application side, sales force applications, CRM [customer relationship management] systems, order entry. This is what drives business and adds to revenue. It's hard to point to added revenue from system management, and that's the vendor challenge: to prove the value of these tools," he said.
Still, according to Noel, trust builds on itself. As data centers deploy tools like CMDBs and gain short-term payback in tackling specific problems, these tools can then prove their value in new activities. "After implementing a CMDB and seeing how it works, a data center admin says, 'Now I can use it for something else to get answers there as well,'" she said. "Organizations are learning and figuring out, 'OK, this really does supply me the answers.'"

Rosacea Home Remedies: Using Ingredients from Your Kitchen
Rosacea home remedies are becoming popular because many people become dissatisfied with chemical based treatments. Treatments for rosacea that you can try at home can be effective. However, it is important that you start doing home treatments that have worked for other people. Because each skin is unique, a treatment that worked for your sister may not work for you. Also, some people have an allergic reaction to some remedies that can make rosacea worse. So, you need to test the solution to a small area of your face before applying it to the entire face.
Baking soda:
When mixed with water, baking soda be an effective exfoliant and for dying up pimples. It can also be made a scrub by mixing equal amount of water for daily use. When mixed thickly, you can also make a mask and use it once a week. Leave the mask on the face for at least 15 minutes. It is normal to feel a tingling sensation after removing the mask. However, you should not use it when redness or tingling sensation remains the next day.
People who use baking soda say that it helps dry up pimples. Because baking soda can dry up the skin, you need to use a moisturizer regularly. Also, non-oily moisturizers that are suitable for pimple-susceptible skin should be used.
Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice:
Freshly squeezed lemon juice is one of the widely used rosacea home remedies because of its many benefits. It is effective in accelerating healing time of pimples, which is a symptom of rosacea. Moreover, it reduces redness and reduces the tendency of scarring.
The lemon juice can be applied to the affected area directly. Many people prefer to use it because it is less dying to the skin than other solutions. You can apply it to the skin before going to sleep and leave it overnight. In some cases, itching is natural, and stinging sensation might also occur especially where skin is broken.
Note: do not mix lemon juice and baking soda. This will create a chemical reaction that is harmful for skin.
Egg White:
Egg white is a very effective facial mask. You just need to apply it to your skin and leave it to dry. This will make the skin tight. Egg white is considered hypoallergenic, but you still need to test it. People who are allergic to eating eggs should not use this mask. Regular use of egg white mask makes the skin glow and pores tight.

RoboCup 2002
|First installment of
the adventures of the Scarabs RoboCup Rescue team at
RoboCup 2002 in Fukuoka, Japan, as reported by Team
Coordinator Michael Randall.
This account is fairly detailed and a bit technical -- not with the intent of boring you (although it may...), but to convey just how much we had to go through to get our robot on the field.
Finally, please remember that this is a team of high school students, acting as the sole representatives for the United States in the Robot Rescue League, competing against university / government / corporate-funded teams of Ph.D.'s and grad students, in an event designed to help save lives.
Our first real taste of Japan! It took us a little while to figure out the currency... and communication. We were AMAZED at the cleanliness (for example, we saw one white-gloved worker scrubbing a chair, with a supervisor on either side inspecting his work!). The level of service also impressed us. (Ex: someone at every escalator to help with your baggage carts - which could ride on the escalators!).
On to Fukuoka! An hour's flight, and we were there! Stepping out of the terminal looked just like a scene from Blade Runner: lots of neon! Fukuoka's excellent subway system whisked us to within two blocks of our hotel. (The HARD part was lugging the 70 lb. suitcase up four flight of steps to reach street level - we didn't discover the elevator until later...). We found our hotel, checked in, unpacked and COLLAPSED!
That's when the trouble started...
On opening the suitcase with the robot, we discovered a number of the components had been damaged in shipment. Most damage was easily repaired... BUT... one of the drive train gearboxes had been forced open, and one of the gear shafts was missing! Of course we had no spares (not something we anticipated would fail...). Fortunately, Josie noticed that some of our pop-rivets had the exact diameter as the missing shaft. So, after a few minutes' filing, we were back in business!
On to the next task: assembling the slip ring on the cable reel. (For those not familiar with our robot, the plan is to carry a supply of Ethernet cable on the robot, laying it down and reeling it back in as needed. A slip ring is a series of moving contacts that transmits the computer signals from the stationary camera to the rotating reel). In principle, a slip ring is very simple; in practice, we had a tremendous amount of difficulty implementing our design in the cramped space available on the robot. (Josie pricked her fingers at least twice while shortening and installing the springs to tension the slip ring contacts).
Not that that was the only issue: we still had to get the motor running to turn the cable reel. We brought electronic components with us to finish the motor driver, but were concerned that our Radio Shack parts weren't really what we needed. But hey, we figured "we're in Japan - land of the transistor". So Kenichi san (our favorite event staff member) took a small group of Rescue Leaguers (including Ian and myself) to Best Denki ("denki" means electronics in Japanese). More consumer electronics than you could concoct in your wildest electric dreams... but not a chip in sight. (We DID buy an Ethernet hub and extension cable to help deal with ANOTHER issue -- more on that later...).
We hopped on the subway and headed for the REALLY big Best Denki in Tenjin. (12 floors!! Made the other Best Denki look like a TV repair shop...). EVEN SO, they had never heard of the optoisolator chips we wanted! So, we bought a few other needed components, and started the long bus ride back to the Dome. (A three-hour excursion altogether... we were NOT popular with the rest of the team...).
Kevin built the reel driver AND... it didn't work. Not his fault - we were experiencing weird voltage spikes, apparently due to mixing the 5 volts of the Stamp board with the 7.2 volts used to drive the reel motor. A simple solution would have been to use an optoisolator chip to separate the voltages, BUT when we tried the Radio Shack chips we brought with us, they didn't work (wrong type). We already knew the good people at Best Denki had never heard of an optoisolator, so we got on the internet to find manufacturer names and part numbers (reasoning that it might be easier to get what we wanted if we were more specific...). Another trip to the Tenjin Best Denki - no luck! They couldn't cross-reference the chips. So we initiated Plan B, and bought a 5 Volt relay (we could use the 5 V signal from the BASIC Stamp to switch the 7.2 Volt motor on and off)... or so we thought.
The current output of the Stamp wasn't strong enough to turn on the relay, so we used a transistor to boost the signal. IT WORKED! The Stamp actually turned the motor on and off via the relay. Then... it DIDN'T work! (AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!) Seems we were still getting mysterious voltage spikes, which FRIED the relay. (ANOTHER trip to Best Denki...). We installed capacitors with the new relay - THAT seemed to take care of the problem.
only other task was to modify the BASIC Stamp code to be
compatible with the relay. (Originally, it had been
written to control the reel speed by rapidly turning the
motor on and off - something relays don't like to do...).
Since our programmer Valerie (Josie's mom) was not able
to attend, Ian and I had to tough out the code.
Eventually, we made (what we thought) were two simple
changes. (Valerie, I can hear you laughing from
We still had the slip ring beast to deal with. Josie, Kevin and Lynn were ready to mutiny over the design, and I can't say I blame them.
By the way, while all the business above was going on, KIDS were walking through the setup areas. LOTS of kids! BUSLOADS of kids! All well-behaved and fascinated with what we were doing. Turns out, the general public was allowed to tour both the rescue courses and our work areas with little restriction. (This went on for the entire competition). I'm sure the kids enjoyed it, but it was very distracting -- and unprecedented: previous competitions had the work areas off-limits to the public. A good thing, if for no other reason than public safety (hey, we had hot soldering irons sitting on the table...)
We took the cable reel and reel motor off, and configured the robot as a cable-dragger. Which it did just fine...
At this point, I want to say a little about the funky scoring system they use in this competition. Without going into gory details, the equation used favors course difficulty, multiple robots and accurate mapping, while discouraging course disturbance / damage and operator control (i.e. your score is divided by one plus the number of operators TO THE THIRD POWER. For example, if you have two operators, your score is divided by (1+2)^3, or 27!) Their ultimate goal is NO operators: robots smart enough to go unsupervised into a disaster scene and locate survivors. Maybe someday...
While I'm at it, here's a little on the rescue course itself: three separate mazes: yellow (easiest), orange (intermediate) and red (close to a real-life disaster... or my room). Teams are NOT allowed to see the course prior to competing, on pain of disqualification. Two major (unintended, unannounced) changes in the course were made from last year: ramps and wide-open spaces. These proved to be our undoing (more on that in a moment...).
Back to the competition! The referee gave Ian a countdown, and he was off! And the troubles started. Unlike last year in Seattle (where the robots were placed at the entrance of each maze), Ian had to navigate an open space over 40 feet long to reach the yellow maze. The omnidirectional optical system on our robot is lucky to see four feet before the image gets too small; this is great for navigating tight, cluttered areas, but not open spaces. Long story short, he got lost. After a while, he called Kevin in as a second operator to help him figure out where he was. In time they DID find the ramp to a maze. Thinking it was the yellow maze, they started up... then rolled back. Our little robot was originally designed to run on a flat course with a lighter load - the motors couldn't do it! Ian backed up to get a running start.. and ran into the crowds! (Remember earlier, I mentioned they allowed the public in? There were crowds of people lining the course route, held back by rope barriers). People scrambled to get out of the way, but it didn't help much. The robot simply didn't have enough power for it's weight.
And so, we ended Trial 1 with a score of "0" points.
you'll have to wait for the next installment to find out
how it all turned out...
