As an expert in your field, you're more than qualified to offer students insight into the opportunities, challenges, and required skill sets of your discipline and profession. But in the interest of providing students with the broadest possible perspective on potential career paths, you may also see the benefit in allowing them to hear from individuals whose experiences, skills, or work environments differ from your own. If this is the case, you may consider inviting a guest speaker to address career-related topics or current professional issues during one or more of your class sessions.
By virtue of your own expertise and work history, you likely know several professionals who could fill this role skillfully. However, you may want or need to fill out your panel with talented and knowledgeable people outside your own circle of colleagues or contacts. If this is the case, read these suggestions from the Instructor's Resource Manual for Francine Fabricant, Jennifer Miller, and Debra Stark's Creating Career Success: A Flexible Plan for the World of Work, which address some of the things you should consider when you're engaging in the process of finding and selecting appropriate guest speakers.
- The Alumni Office can help with names of successful alumni looking to give back.
- The Campus Career Center works with recruiters interested in connecting with students outside of Job Fairs and On Campus Interviews.
- Internship employers are often willing to participate in campus activities to interest and recruit new interns.
- Faculty often have industry contacts, usually in specialized fields.
- Campus clubs, Greek and other campus organizations may know of alumni willing to speak with students and may be interested in co-sponsoring a panel.
- Professional associations, NACE, and various regional membership groups all have employer members and can be a great resource.
- Local chapters of the Society of Human Resource Mangers (SHRM) and American Society for Training and Development (ASTD). Connecting with these groups on the local level can be value added for students as they usually offer student membership rates.
- How long have they been in the field?
- Are they satisfied in what they are doing?
- Do they come across as authentic and positive?
- Do they stay current and engaged in their industry and field?
- Are their attitudes on résumé writing and interviewing consistent with yours?
- Is the information they are sharing consistent with what you know of the industry? (xiv-xv)

Your twenties are full of the bucket list and huge decisions, when you are at 20's and adult things start happening you no longer want to rely on mum and dad. You may not want to even think about money right now and to be honest, I wouldn't blame you, With malls and e-commerce websites everywhere, today's young girls are exposed to quite a high spending choices ever. If you are one such girl who recently started earnings and is free to deal with your money, this post is for you!
It may sound terrifying the younger you are it's better to start planning which will be benefitted in the long run.
There are however a few ways to plan out your finances for the future which are stress-free and incredibly simple and could save you thousands of years to come.
Save and invest smartly:
You should begin building your emergency fund. It can be as little or as much as you can afford, you don't need to be earning a huge amount to be able to put money away and start a savings account. Establishing an emergency fund now can help you avoid amassing major credit card debt in an emergency. Save at least 10 percent of your salary every month to build your emergency fund.
Build Your Credit:
You may have a credit card from college, but now is the time to start making sure you are actively building your credit history. Your credit history will help determine your credit score, which in turn will determine your creditworthiness when applying for rental apartments, car loans, mortgages, etc.
Credit cards can really get you into a lot of debt if they are not kept under control and try to pay off as soon as possible, high-interest rates are never a good thing and so make paying off those cards your top priority.
Retirement Planning:
Retirement?? Yes, you read it right! Retirement may seem like years away, as you just began to earn. It doesn't matter! It is the time you should begin your retirement planning. Setting a goal with a long time frame is the most effective way to yield good returns.
Plan for Higher Education:
To meet your career goals and reach heights, you need to be constantly updated. You may have to enrol for new learning to increase skill set. Save from now to meet those needs without financial constraints. Especially, if you aspire to higher education overseas, which is a costly affair, start saving from now or Rather than hiding away from what you are spending by refusing to open those bank statements (I am guilty of this) it is very wise to sit down with a pen and some paper and work out how much you actually do spend each month.
Marriage Goals:
If you are one such girl who always dreamt of Big fat marriage.Dreaming is a natural phenomenon. Every human being contains a soul, which is immortal and invisible so, start saving towards it. With right
investments, you could accumulate enough for your marriage. Plan for a honeymoon in your dream country! Why compromise with India's Hill station.

Good day to you dear blog reader, i hope the day finds you well, i thought i'd post about my upcoming album, so here goes…
The album will be called Tales From Sunshine Street and it contains 18 songs and in this post i'll give you a quick bit of information on each track.
1. Take A Look Upon The World
I remember coming up with the opening chord changes when sat on my bed and the song kind of wrote itself, a look out the window helped me come up with the lyrics and musically it's pretty simple, i demoed it within minutes of finishing.
2. Sunshine Street
Without sounding to pretentious this track i suppose is just about the journey of life and is quite upbeat musically. I remember thinking of the name Sunshine Street prior to writing the lyrics, the original lyrics were quite different to the finished set but they weren't bad i just felt i could do better.
3. Freedom Dances Under The Sun
Hopefully if you're reading this blog post you'll be aware of this track already as it was released as a single on the 7th of January, it's heavily inspired by the Donovan songs Ballad Of A Crystal Man and Summer Day Reflection Song, it's a track about following your own path and wishes and musically i feel it stands out from the rest.
4. Gypsy Boy
This is a self-mocking song in a way, at the time this was written i had quit my job and began to embrace different elements to life. The song is about someone who has quit there job to live a bohemian life but deep down they are searching for love/companionship.
5. Ace Of Hearts
Quite an old track, rather straight forward chords and folk-rhythm but it's one i've always liked but just never made previous releases, because it was written back in 2009 or 2010 it needed some tidying up, a few touches to the lyrics, etc. The track is about people who ignore their hearts, i was listening to Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan a lot when i came up with this song which helped inspire the songs title and story.
6. Love In Your Own Way
This song contains only two chords (D and Em7 for those interested – capo at the 4th fret too) and is about people being able to live the life they choose. It's one i enjoy playing but when making previous albums i would often forget to include it because of the newer material i was writing.
7. I Don't Know If I Believe
I'm still not 100% sure if this is a song about seeking faith or losing it, i have never been a religious person and i don't believe in God but i am open-minded about spirituality and such. No matter where someone is raised in the world they should be allowed to doubt and question all they've been taught and seek their own truth. I remember writing this song shortly after seeing Joan Baez in concert and i think one of her songs inspired the melody, God Is God perhaps?
8. Making History
Surprisingly a track i'm fond of and this one along with Ace Of Hearts is probably the oldest on the album, the title comes from a Stephen Fry book and the melody inspired by No Other Baby by Paul McCartney (although i don't think it actually resembles it much). The lyrics are some of the first i wrote that i was really happy with and i think they stand up well against my newer stuff too.
9. I'm Not…
Quite a fun song, it's essentially a list of me calming not to be one-thing but in-fact another, i remember scrawling out about two pages worth of possible lyrics and then picking the best ones, my favourite perhaps being – "i'm not insane, the rules have changed".
10. When You're Alone
A short and sweet song, i love the chord changes and feel of the song so i felt i had to put it on the album. It's about finding companionship i suppose, someone to share the world with to make you feel alive.
11. (Come and Find) Peace Of Mind #2
The first two verses came with chords when i wrote most of the track but as i was writing quite a lot of material at the time the song got forgotten for a bit until i revisited it some months later and added the last two verses. I enjoy the melody of this track, whether my vocals bring it out is another thing though.
12. I've Left My Blues Behind
I wrote this song when staying in St. Ives, Cornwall and i loved the song so much i even recorded a live video of me playing it (which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTDPZnrzfPI). It's a nice and gentle finger-picking number about heading to a place where all your worries can be lost.
13. The Newest Star In The Sky
Inspired by Bob Dylan's song Shooting Star from his Oh, Mercy! album and Eddie Cochran's cover of Three Stars, the track is about someone who has passed on from their earthly life and are now looking down on earth every night to check you're ok.
14. Resting Eternity
Very much inspired by Donovan's 1996 album Sutras this track is about the journey of death, hopefully it's done in a way which comforts rather then worries, after all life is but a journey and a gift we are all given.
15. All Will Become
One of my favourites from the album, i love the feel from the chord changes and like the two tracks before it it speaks of life and death in a (hopefully) soothing way. None of the album was recorded with a theme in mind but once i came out of the session with 36 songs i had to work out not only which ones to use but how they would fit together and i think i've done that, the songs get deeper as the album goes on and will hopefully lead to the listener feeling like they've had some sort of journey.
16. By Your Side
Fans of my works will have no doubt noticed that the vast majority of my songs rarely go beyond the 4 minute mark, well this track goes on for 12 minutes, a seemingly endless track that will most likely never be played live due to the amount of lyrics i'd have to remember. The song is about being reunited with someone, i remember when recording it almost getting lost in a timeless haze.
17. The Moment
I almost released a version of this in mid-2012 but i just never got around to it. It's another gentle finger-picking track and this one simply encourages people to live in the moment as much as possible. It was written in July 2011 if i remember correctly and is a track that has been demoed more then most.
18. Goodnight To You
The closing track is my attempt at a lullaby, a song to sing yourself (or another) to sleep. Prior to this recorded there have two home-demos and two studio demos made of this track and it almost appeared on my album From Nowhere To Here but for whatever reason i never felt it quite sounded as it should do but this version i think holds the feeling i was after.
Should all go according to plan the album will hit digital stores on the 10th of February 2013, however this is subject to change, that said the only thing that remains to be done is the artwork which i'll reveal on Facebook when it's ready.
To help wet your appetite for the album as a treat you can listen to the closing track to the album via this Private SoundCloud link: http://soundcloud.com/rossmayhewonline/goodnight-to-you/s-827rh Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for reading!
Peace & Love,

I've written quite a bit about my two book clubs, and the variety of books I have read because of – or rather thanks to them. One book club is a group of friends who have become friends through reading together, the other is held in Waterstone's book shop in town and it's a bigger, more varied group – I love them both and have tremendous fun in both!
I confess however, that I am a very fussy reader and there have been so many books chosen which everyone else likes and I just don't… I have at times wondered if I have lost my reading skill because so often I seem to struggle my way through a book, or am even defeated by it, and everyone else loves it and thinks it's wonderful. I really don't like what's thought of as 'women's' books, dealing with 'women's issues', I like puzzles and mystery and action… maybe I should try harder to read differently…
So when the book chosen for next month was 'The Red Tent' by Anita Diamant, described on the front as 'the oldest love story never told', and on the back 'find out why 1.5 million women have loved this book', my heart sank and I had a little sigh.
However… however… it is absolutely amazing! Unputdownable, and I'm absolutely gripped by it! The blurb on the back doesn't raise expectations… the main character and narrator is Dinah, a biblical character and daughter of Jacob. Her name is pronounced Dee-nah, not Die-ner and she is an unforgettable character. You will find the story of her in Genesis but Anita Diamant has brought the Biblical verses to vivid life in telling Dinah's experiences, from her babyhood to her adult life far away from her family.
I haven't yet finished it, and in a way I don't want to because as with all good books, although I want to find out what happens to her, I don't want to leave her!
Anita Diamant is American and was born in 1951; she has written books about Jewish life, and also other novels since the publication of The Red Tent in 1997:
- The Boston Girl, 2014
- Day After Night, 2009
- The Last Days of Dogtown, 2005
- Good Harbor, 2001

3 Tips from Someone With Experience
People always have to make money to survive. We often get a job that have high compensation schemes or do some lucrative businesses that hits the market. In some instances, we will be forced borrow money to initiate our business or any other of our income generating pursuits. Yet, there are also time that we are not able to fulfill our debt obligations, then we encounter big problems. Where do we go? What shall we do? Fortunately, there can be several debt help that are more than willing to help us through some repayment plans the fit us. In addition, a number of services give debt counselling first to help you decide which debt help program is good for you.
If you a face in debt situations, there are several thing that you actually do and one good option is the Individual Voluntary Arrangement. To define, ivas are legal binding agreements between the creditor and the debtor. The arrangement should be fine with the parties and has to be complied within a specified time interval. Due to the fact that it is bound with legalities, by no means that you and your creditors must not satisfy what has been agreed upon.
IVA Basic Process
When you opt for iva's solution, you should be informed that there is the need to go through the transaction with the help of an insolvency agent. Your plan is introduced to your creditors where payments are mostly completed within 5-6 years. When the creditors are ok with this set up, you have to fulfill your obligation, hand it over to the practitioner, who will then pay it to your creditors. Nevertheless, sometimes due service fees may apply as well.
Does iva functions in all kinds of debts?
The truth is, those that are known to be low priority debts like personal loans and catalogues are sure covered, yet sometimes, high priority debts like electric debts and tax debts can be included. That is why before you go to manchester iva company or any iva company elsewhere and decide to apply for the iva debt solution, it would still good to take an iva advice from the company's representative or any other expert. Learning from a great iva article or iva blog is one of the best approaches to gather iva info too.
What is expected when you finish the iva program?
Fundamentally speaking, you will enjoy a no debt life. Particularly, you will cease shelling out money as your monthly responsibility, certificate of completion will be handed over to you, and you your name will be crashed out from the registered iva list.
The Real Point to Think About
Having large debts is one of the most stressful part in living. But if you apply the appropriate debt help program you will definitely be debt-free soon.

Asus has been making transforming laptop/tablet hybrids for some time now, and its latest Android-powered Transformer Pad TF103 has arrived on our testing bench. Asus Transformer Pad TF103C, a nifty Android tablet that converts into an impressively affordable laptop.
The Transformer Pad looks like any standard 10-inch Android tablet, with glossy black bezels and a rubbery rear that's also black. At 550g it's not exactly light, and the likes of the iPad Air and seven-inchers like the Nexus 7 are more comfortable to handle. We get a solid build, big bezels to rest your hands on and upfront you'll find the camera and display, while at the back there are the speakers, camera and logo. On the right we've got the audio jack and on the left lays the microSD card slot, volume buttons and microUSB port, used for charging. There's only 8GB or 16GB of storage built in, but you thankfully have a microSD memory card slot to expand to something more useful.
You won't find Windows on this Intel-powered tablet though, as Android 4.4 KitKat is the OS of choice, and Asus has made a few tweaks to it as well. You'll find ZenUI overlaid on top, and it has a few useful additions to the stock Android experience such as quick, easy access to toggles and the handy SuperNote. Aside from some custom icons it's largely unchanged from what you'd find on a barebones installation though.
The tablet portion of the TF103C connects to the clamshell keyboard dock via a port located in the middle of the central hinge connector at the back edge of the keyboard. Two tabs extending from each side of the central hinge help secure the tablet and provide that extra bit of stability in "laptop mode" so that all the weight resting on the docking port.
The brightness comes it at about 350 nits, with some corners measuring closer to 330 and others measuring closer to 360. That means you should be able to view the screen just fine outdoors in all but the harshest sunlight. Again, this is better than most budget laptop screens that are measured at less than 300 nits.
The only real complaint we have is that we want to see a 1080p screen resolution given the fact there are so many Android devices in the same price range with 1080p or better.
The small stereo speakers built into the tablet portion of the TF103C did surprising well in terms of providing sound that is relatively free of distortion yet loud enough to fill a small room. The audio range isn't as impressive as what you'll hear from larger laptops with larger stereo speakers and a dedicated subwoofer built into the bottom of the notebook, but the TF103C does pretty good for two little speakers tucked behind the screen.
The camera is a 2 MP unit, that has too good software for its hardware. It has too many cool options that are wasted on this lowly sensor. There's a new UI here and bits and pieces of the Pixelmaster technology. We've got effects, white balance, ISO up to 800, exposure, optimization and picture taking with resolution up to 1600 x 1200 pixels (4:3). There's anti shake, self timer, burst, face detection and HD filming, with an option for stabilization. The Modes include Auto, Time Rewind (take pictures 2 seconds before pressing the shutter button and 1 second after, with a total of 31 pics taken), HDR, Panorama, Night, Selfie, Miniature (blurs certain areas), Smart Remove, Allsmiles and Beautification.
The battery is a 19 Wh unit, a Li Polymer power source, that on paper should provide about 9.5 hours of functioning. In our usual video playback loop test, with WiFi on and brightness at 50% we achieved 5 hours and 20 minutes, which is a tad disappointing. The charging is also quite long, at 4 hours. In the Settings area, you'll find the Power Saver option, that includes 3 sub options: Ultra Save, that disconnects the network when the screen is off, Extend and Keep connection On and Customize, that lets you choose the brightness level for a variety of tasks/apps.
Here are the Pros:
- 64 bit Android tablet
- Runs Android 4.4 KitKat with the latest apps
- Tons of camera options
- Beautiful UI
- good speakers
- nice case texture
- Useful keyboard shortcut buttons
And the Cons:
- Weak battery
- Bad performance for a INR 20,000 laptop
- Too many useless camera modes
Granted, this entry-level tablet is not identical in build quality to the high-end Transformer Pads of a few years ago. However, considering the tablet's price, its Intel Atom processor performed well in our hands-on trials, as well as on most of our benchmark tests. The screen, while not spectacular, looked good, and the sound was better than passable, too.

Small groups are essential to real discipleship. It is through the context of relationship that we can truly have an impact in the lives of others. In student ministry having an effective small group ministry will allow your ministry to grow while remaining small. A persons ability to really know and disciple students is limited to really just a few students. Small group are essential. I've posted a few other articles about how to improve small groups. These articles are not groundbreaking. They are just some practical ways to immediately make improvement in your small group setting. They can be found here: "5 Things Small Group Leaders Should Say to Parents" and "5 Ways to Enrich Your Small Group Time." Below is another such post. I can admit I have made a few of these "Don'ts." Check them out yourself so you don't repeats others mistakes.
The 10 Don'ts Of Leading A Small Group
by: andy@ym360
Being an effective small group leader means doing a lot of things well.
It also means NOT doing a lot of things.
This is a list of what I believe to be some of the most common "don'ts" of being a small group leader. (I'd love to see what you would add.)
1. Don't play favorites.
This is tough. I think sometimes we do it subconsciously. We will be naturally drawn to some students based on personalities, both ours and theirs. But, we have to be aware of this tendency and work to give each student his or her fair amount of attention.
2. Don't join with other students in making fun of a student.
Even if it's good-natured. It's easy to fall in to this, especially with guys. It starts out with a few guys messing with each other. Seemingly harmless. But the moment your voice is added to the chorus, it changes. You're an adult. And your words have a lot more weight. Stay away from making fun of a student, even if it's a joke.
3. Don't let details fall through the cracks.
This one owns me. I struggle more with this than anything on this list. Just this week I put a mother in an not so great position with her son because I had not communicated as clearly as I should have. Details will kill you. Do not let them slip through the cracks.

Build IOS & Android Apps
Angular 5 (formerly Angular 2) allows you to create awesome web applications powered by TypeScript / JavaScript. Wouldn't it be great to use that Angular knowledge to build web applications that can be compiled into native mobile apps, running on any iOS or Android device?
The Ionic 2/ 3 Framework allows you to do just that! Use your existing Angular, HTML, JS and CSS knowledge and build your native mobile app with that! Ionic 2/ 3 will handle the rest and compile your code for you. This allows you to focus on the things you know and release your application on all possible devices (desktop and mobile) without having to learn thousands of different languages!
What Will I Learn?
- Build native apps for iOS and Android, using Angular and the powerful features Ionic 2/ 3 offers
- Dive deeper into Ionic 2/ 3 to learn more about very advanced features and optimize their apps
- Test iOS and Android apps on real devices and publish those apps to the app stores of the two platforms
- Angular (2 or 6) Fundamentals are strongly recommended

This introductory chapter begins with a brief description of the "index of reputation" on eBay, consisting of feedbacks from buyers and sellers, which effectively prevents cheating on both sides. The case of eBay suggests two issues that will be encountered over and over again in the analysis of public governance. First, reputational considerations may induce people to act in useful ways even without the presence of a formal institution threatening to punish them should they misbehave. Secondly, the success of eBay hinges upon the presence of a communication technology: Internet and the Web. In general, all solutions to governance problems need appropriate technologies in order to function. The chapter also discusses the two main beneficial effects of reputation: "static" and "dynamic". The example of open-source software production is used to illustrate the complex relation between reputational incentives, their nature, and some key characteristics of governance. Examples of public governance where reputational incentives are relevant are also considered.
Keywords: reputation, public governance, technology, Internet, eBay, open-source software production, reputational incentives, index of reputation

This falls under the category, you know you did things as a right as parent when . . .
My daughter sent me the following:
In 1346, Francesco Petrarch, an Italian scholar and the "father of humanism" wrote:
"I cannot get enough books. It may be that I have already more than I need, but it is with books as it is with other things: success in acquisition spurs the desire to get still more."
It was true in 1346 and it's still true in 2009.

The McMurray Photographic Archive
On the 14th & 15th June I've been invited to shoot wet plates at Gatehouse of Fleet as part of the celebrations of the McMurray Photographic Archive exhibition.
On the Friday there will be a lecture and display of the archive at the community centre.
On Saturday I will be taking plates of some of the McMurray descendants and demonstrating the wet plate process. Hopefully the weather will be good so we can stay outdoors.
On the Sunday I'll be offering tintype and ambrotype portraits.
If your in the area please stop by and say hello.
"In the early years of the 20th Century, William McMurray, a postman in Gatehouse, took a large number of photographs of people and places around Gatehouse. They were kept on glass photographic plates. When his daughter died in 2012, these plates were amongst the possessions that were found in her house. There were about 730 plates and these are now kept in the Stewartry Museum in Kirkcudbright. During the latter part of 2013 Ken Smyth, of the Gatehouse Development Initiative, photographed many of these plates such that they are now available in digital format."

Although McMurray was a dry plate photographer, we believe, for this event, wet plate photography maintains the ideals of early photography and the hobbyist photographer.

Knowing the difference between a legitimate MLM and a Pyramid Scheme could save you thousands of dollars. Vigilance will not only help you make sound business decisions but it could help save your reputation and relationships. Please use your best judgment and consult an attorney before signing any documents. When considering the factors described below, consider all conversations with recruiters, representatives, or consultants. An illegal business operation is not going to come out and introduce themselves as a pyramid scheme. In this dog eat dog world, you must look at all proposals with a critical eye and not be afraid to ask direct questions. Remember, although it may be difficult to ask such direct questions, it will be much harder to broach the subject after you've signed a contract and spent thousands of dollars in initial buy-in costs.
When discussing the following aspects with your recruiter/consultant it is always best to take notes for your own records.
In its most basic definition, a pyramid scheme relies exclusively on the recruitment of new consultants to make money. The documentary "Betting on Zero" describes the differences between a pyramid scheme and a legitimate MLM. Undercover video footage shows some of the tactics described below. If you are currently involved in a business model described below or you are considering buying into a model described below, please refer to FINRA, the SEC, the FTC, or an attorney for guidance moving forward.
A pyramid scheme will exhibit the following characteristics:
- No Genuine Product or Service. MLM programs involve selling a genuine product or service to people who are not in the program. Be wary if no underlying product or service is being sold to others. The product should be tangible. Avoid speculative or inappropriately priced goods.
- Emphasis on Recruiting. If a program primarily focuses on recruiting others to join the program for a fee, be careful. Be skeptical if you will receive more compensation for recruiting others than for product sales. If a recruiter tells you the "real money" is in growing your downline or to spend less time selling products and more time recruiting others you may be involved in a pyramid scheme.
- Buy-in Required. The goal of an MLM program is to sell products. Be careful if you are required to pay a buy-in to participate in the program, even if the buy-in is a nominal one-time or recurring fee (e.g. $10 or $10/month).
- Promises of High Returns in a Short Time Period. Look out for pitches of exponential returns and "get rich quick" claims. High returns and fast cash in an MLM program may suggest that commissions are being paid out of money from new recruits rather than revenue generated by product sales.
- Easy Money or Passive Income. Be skeptical if you are offered compensation in exchange for little work such as making payments, recruiting others, and placing advertisements.
- No Demonstrated Revenue from Retail Sales. Ask to see documents such as financial statements audited by a certified public accountant (CPA), showing that the MLM company generated revenue from selling its products or services to people outside the program. Some states, such as Georgia, require the production of a disclosure statement containing this information prior to entering any contract.
- Complex Commission Structure. Be concerned unless commissions are based on products or services that you or your recruits sell to people outside the program. If you do not understand how you will be compensated, be cautious.
Sadly, some of the most prevalent pyramid schemes posing as MLMs target Spanish-speaking and immigrant communities. But if you are not a part of this demographic, don't let down your guard. Communities with high concentrations of stay at home spouses and single income households are also vulnerable to the grips of pyramid schemes. Consider Utah for example. Utah has the highest rate of stay at home moms in the country and their leading industry, second only to tourism, is direct sales. Utah has the highest concentration of MLMs in the country, making its citizens exceedingly vulnerable to pyramid schemes and unsustainable MLM ventures.
If you believe you have been defrauded by a pyramid scheme, please consider filing a complaint with the SEC.

The purpose of a disaster recovery environment is to protect customers in the event of complete loss of a data center property or complete system failure. When implementing these environments, it is important to look at both data and compute resources, regardless of provider or hosting company. In this post we will discuss compute resources, but you can learn more about data replication options here.
In the event of a true disaster, the customer must decide how long of an outage their business can withstand. The ultimate business decision is:
- Am I going to pay to have reserved compute resources available to me very quickly? OR
- Can I avoid paying for reserved compute resources, scramble to get systems shipped to my disaster recovery site, and then bring everything back on line?
Assuming the catastrophic loss of a data center, here are some additional points to consider concerning compute resources:
- The customers that ANY provider would address first are those that have contracted for a DR plan with compute resources and replication technologies in place.
- Once the contracted DR customers are brought back on line, the provider then shifts attention to other customers. For each of these customers, the provider must figure out the hardware requirements, order the correct systems, stand those systems up, and THEN restore those systems from backup tapes or virtual tape library (VTL). In this scenario, the reality is that it could be weeks before the system is fully operational – mainly due to the lead time for equipment from manufacturers, distributors, partners, etc.
Although none of these topics are fun to think about, it is important to take them into consideration when creating a disaster recovery plan. Think of it as life insurance – contracted disaster recovery is a cost-effective life insurance policy that you hope to never use. Contact us today to learn about your "life insurance" options!

Micro Molding Case Studies
Click headlines to show/hide more information.
Ideas for Micromolding — Two-Shot Molding Conversion
The Market:
The customer is a medical technology company with an emphasis on surgical devices and equipment for minimally invasive interventional procedures within the cardiovascular system. The company's products include peripheral and cardiac laser catheters for ablation of stenosed and occluded arteries above and below the knee and within the coronary arteries.
The Challenge:
The customer approached Mikrotech looking for a way to manufacture the component in a more cost–effective manner. The existing component had to be molded twice to permit the use of two platinum marker bands and a passage way for the laser to function adequately. Molding the two materials together was difficult and expensive. Read the full Case Study.
Ideas for Micromolding — Micromachining Conversions
The Market:
The customer is a medical technology company with an emphasis on surgical devices and equipment for minimally invasive procedures and monitoring. The company's products are used in the clinical areas of arthroscopy, powered surgical instruments, electrosurgery, cardiac monitoring disposables, endosurgery and endoscopic technologies.
The Challenge:
Mold the smallest implantable press-in anchor in the marketplace. The cost to machine this component in production volumes was high. It must meet or exceed the strength specification of a similar machined component at a substantially lower cost.

Everybody wants to know the future. Some would use such knowledge to become rich, others to prevent tragedy, and still others to see whether plans made today will work out a decade from now. But Christians have a unique interest in prophecy, since it is one of the defining characteristics of the Bible that puts it in a class of its own among religious writings.
But this aspect of the faith that should be to its credit has become one of its greatest embarrassments— not because of failure on God's part, but on our part. Too many of us not only engage in endless date-setting and wild speculation, but also snarl and hiss at fellow believers who disagree with our own viewpoints, sometimes to the point of calling them unbelievers.
Like much of the rest of the world today, Christians seem to have abandoned all principles of sound thinking in favor of fads and wishes. We have begun to equate the cryptic lines of Nostradamus with "This is what the Lord says". We blindly swallow the likes of the so-called Gospel of Thomas, while also blindly swallowing the lies of Christo-phobic professors who cast doubt upon the Bible without warrant. If we hear some popular self-proclaimed Bible teacher say that there will be no Tribulation or no Rapture, we give up all the scholarship to the contrary without a fight.
If we are to consider ourselves followers of Jesus, then let's follow him who treated Bible prophecy as divine and perfect. The scriptures tell us to "Test everything and keep the best" (1 Thes. 5:21), but we cannot do this without study. We must study what has happened in the past in order to have any clue what unfulfilled prophecies remain.
One of the most critical factors determining how we will interpret Bible prophecy is how we view the church and Israel. Someone who believes these two are now one will interpret prophecy one way, and someone who believes they are distinct and separate will interpret it another way. Two people with opposite views on the church and Israel will never, ever come to agreement on prophecy. This, more than anything else, is what drives the wedge between the various Rapture viewpoints. Practically all of the bitter feuds over the timing of the Rapture stem from how people view the church and Israel.
But this is not the only issue to resolve when discussing prophecy with other believers. The fact that some consider others unbelievers over their prophecy opinions is a cause of great concern. Too many Christians are so convinced that other people's views are dangerous or heretical that they treat them worse than they treat the lost, and this horrible example of self-hate in Christianity is one reason many turn away from the Gospel. Even if it were true that someone's prophecy view is dangerous in some way, and even if it were true that this causes a person to be spiritually lost, shouldn't such people be prayed for rather than condemned? Do we really think that bashing and mocking is the way to either convince our debate opponents to change their minds or to impress unbelievers to come to Christ?
And this is not only a problem among "average" Christians; it is rampant among the teachers. The internet is filled with bitter and hateful screeds over when Jesus will return; what kind of witness is that? And in any given "Christian" message board you will find page after page of self-proclaimed experts in Bible prophecy cursing each other, slandering each other, and mocking each other. What kind of example is that? We rightfully condemn the attitudes and actions of fringe groups such as the Westboro Baptists, but ignore or support identical hate and stupidity against fellow believers with differing prophecy teachings.
This hardly means that Christians are not allowed to passionately debate such things; we find examples of such debate in the pages of scripture. Instead, it means that we need to stop acting like gladiators out to kill the opposition, and instead start producing "the fruit of the Spirit" (Gal. 5:22-23). We must remember that 1 Cor. 13 is still in our Bibles. We must stop playing God by presuming the motives of those who disagree with us. We must stop considering ourselves the last line of defense against heresy. We must get out of the Holy Spirit's chair.
Debate ideas, not people. Research every claim. Remember that we are all fallible. But above all, remember that Jesus promised to return when he is least expected (Mat. 24:44, Luke 12:40), and that he'd better not find us beating our fellow servants (Mat. 24:45-51). Humility, not control or conquest, is the first and most important quality of the Christian.

BROCKHAMPTON is Back!
It was announced Thursday that BROCKHAMPTON's new highly anticipated album, Iridescence, will be released next Friday on the 21st night of September (as Earth, Wind, & Fire would say it). This may be news to some, but to the boy band's loyal following, it has been long sought-after since BROCKHAMPTON's plan to release Puppy, the group's original album, was scrapped after a member of the group was kicked out following sexual misconduct allegations.
To give a little background, BROCKHAMPTON is a group of guys in their early 20s doing everything from rapping to producing to even managing the band. The 14 or so members of the band take a very unconventional approach to rap and hip-hop music. One of 6 vocalists, Kevin Abstract has verses where he openly talks about being homosexual and his experiences with it in this day and age. Additionally, Matt Champion, another vocalist, raps about feminism and Joba sings about his struggles with mental health and how he was diagnosed with having split personalities. These topics are not typically brought to light in the music industry- especially not in the rap genre; so the band is credited with breaking down some of the barriers that have held musicians back for decades.
Recapping, the group was on track to release their fifth full-length record, Puppy, in June, but in May, vocalist Ameer Vann was accused of sexual misconduct by more than one victim. Knowing the morals that the band prides themselves on, the controversy arose: What would BROCKHAMPTON do following the allegations? Some thought the group would split up and some predicted correctly that they would choose to distance themselves from Vann. Despite deciding to kick out Vann, the band still lost many followers that were angered over how the situation was handled. If a member being accused of sexual misconduct wasn't a big enough scandal, Ameer Vann was also seen as one of the main vocalists of the group, and his face was the cover to the SATURATION Trilogy that gained the band fame in the first place.
As the #MeToo movement swept the country last spring, the newfound awareness people have for sexual abuse and assault is still empowering women today. Many politicians and movie stars finally had crimes uncovered and were no longer allowed to hide in the shadows. However, this movement seems to be hitting the music industry just now- with more and more cases popping up. Vann was not the only musician to be torn down this summer; Chicago band, The Orwells, made the decision to break up a few weeks ago as a result of similar allegations. They too, have lost respect for their music now that their audience knows of their actions.
Despite all of the drama swirling around the industry currently, BROCKHAMPTON has still managed to keep touring and producing music- coming back even stronger without Vann. The group released a trilogy of songs in June titled The Things We Lost In The Fire. These three songs ultimately served as something for fans to munch on till they get their full-course meal of a whole album later in this summer.
The new record, Iridescence, is expected to have fifteen tracks- one of which the band featured live on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in June. I know I'm looking forward to reviewing each of them. Hopefully, the album will live up to its hype.

Amazon.com is expanding its efforts in the Internet of Things market, purchasing Denver-based startup 2lemetry in a deal of undisclosed size. The acquisition was first reported by TechCrunch, which notes that 2lemetry's platform analyzes data from connected devices.
"Our existing service has not changed, and with Amazon we will offer our same customer support," 2lemetry wrote on its Web site in a FAQ about the acquisition. "We still have the same name and branding as before."
2lemetry raised $4 million earlier this year, including funding from Salesforce Ventures. That brought total funding to $9 million.
"Enterprise companies struggle with the noise generated from massive amounts of IoT data. We boil all that data down to manageable insights, and with 2lemetry Integrate, we bring that intelligence into Salesforce, so customers can quickly and effectively act on that data," said Kyle Roche, CEO and Co-Founder of 2lemetry, at the time of the funding. "Because we seamlessly integrate with Salesforce, companies can easily act upon the information in an environment that they're already used to."
It's unclear how Amazon plans to use the 2lemetry technology, which is described as a way to use data from connected devices to improve the efficiency of operations and accelerate product development.

A Different Path to Fighting Addiction
A Different Path to Fighting Addiction- New York Times – Gabrielle Glaser
I just saw this great piece that takes a realistic view of treating binge drinking in young people by using evidence based methods rather than the old 12 step solutions. Here is a link http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/06/nyregion/a-different-path-to-fighting-addiction.html?_r=0
The piece is by Gabrielle Glaser who wrote the excellent book "Best Kept Secret" which I found to be a real eye opener on how drinking problems have affected a greater number of people, especially women in the last century. Binge drinking is something that often happens with young people and sometimes they need some help before things get out of hand. I do not think the 12 step environment is a great place for many who are young and vulnerable. The 12 step idea of powerlessness can be quite dangerous when taught to a young person who is likely to not abstain and so a harm reduction method can give more practical help. AA was designed for low bottom male drunks in the 1930's and not today's teenager.
Here is a section from the article.
When their son had to take a medical leave from college, Jack and Wendy knew they — and he — needed help with his binge drinking. Their son's psychiatrist, along with a few friends, suggested Alcoholics Anonymous. He had a disease, and in order to stay alive, he'd have to attend A.A. meetings and abstain from alcohol for the rest of his life, they said.
But the couple, a Manhattan reporter and editor who asked to be identified only by their first names to protect their son's privacy, resisted that approach. Instead, they turned to a group of psychologists who specialize in treating substance use and other compulsive behaviors at the Center for Motivation and Change.
The center, known as the C.M.C., operates out of two floors of a 19th-century building on 30th Street and Fifth Avenue. It is part of a growing wing of addiction treatment that rejects the A.A. model of strict abstinence as the sole form of recovery for alcohol and drug users.
Instead, it uses a suite of techniques that provide a hands-on, practical approach to solving emotional and behavioral problems, rather than having abusers forever swear off the substance — a particularly difficult step for young people to take.
And unlike programs like Al-Anon, A.A.'s offshoot for family members, the C.M.C.'s approach does not advocate interventions or disengaging from someone who is drinking or using drugs. "The traditional language often sets parents up to feel they have to make extreme choices: Either force them into rehab or detach until they hit rock bottom," said Carrie Wilkens, a psychologist who helped found the C.M.C. 10 years ago. "Science tells us those formulas don't work very well."
When parents issue edicts, demanding an immediate end to all substance use, it often lodges the family in a harmful cycle, said Nicole Kosanke, a psychologist at the C.M.C. Tough love might look like an appropriate response, she said, but it often backfires by further damaging the frayed connections to the people to whom the child is closest.
The center's approach includes motivational interviewing, a goal-oriented form of counseling; cognitive behavioral therapy, a short-term form of psychotherapy; and harm reduction, which seeks to limit the negative consequences of substance abuse. The psychologists also support the use of anti-craving medications like naltrexone, which block the brain's ability to release endorphins and the high of using the substance.
A 2002 study conducted by researchers at the University of New Mexico and published in the journal Addiction showed that motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and naltrexone, which are often used together, are far more effective in stopping or reducing drug and alcohol use than the faith-and-abstinence-based model of A.A. and other "TSF" — for 12-step facilitation — programs. Results of an updated study have not yet been released.
Researchers elsewhere have come up with similar findings. In 2006, the Cochrane Library, a health care research group,reviewed four decades of global alcohol treatment studies and concluded, "No experimental studies unequivocally demonstrated the effectiveness of AA or TSF approaches for reducing alcohol dependence or problems." Despite that research, A.A.'s 12-step model is by far the dominant approach to addiction in America.
Jack and Wendy's son, who is in his early 20s, began drinking to alleviate crippling anxiety and ease persistent depression. His drinking, while worrisome, was not an entrenched pattern, his parents believed. Some of Jack's friends suggested that if their son did not attend A.A. of his own volition, the only thing Jack and Wendy could do was attend Al-Anon.
"The implication was that there was no other solution," Jack said. "There was a great deal of sadness on their part, empathetic sadness, which in some ways was frightening in itself."

State Trails
North Carolina's six state trails provide an abundance of opportunities to experience some of the state's most magnificent landscapes.
As units of the North Carolina state parks system, they are distinguished from other regional and local trails, while still offering regional connectivity and public access. While a state park is operated and managed by the Division of Parks and Recreation, a state trail is composed of multiple, connected sections and, as a whole, epitomizes partnerships. Each section of the trail is sponsored by a federal, state or local government agency, nonprofit organization or private landowner.
Section sponsors build, maintain and manage their section of trail — deciding on location, design, surface, permitted uses and amenities. The North Carolina Trails Program is responsible for the overall corridor planning and coordination. The staff provides guidance and assistance to all section sponsors.

In Bollywood, these days it's become quite common for filmmakers to use common sense and avoid a clash between two big films. Only recently, you had Karan Johar prepone the release of his home production We Are Family from Sept 10 to Sept 3 in order to avoid a clash with the eagerly awaited Salman Khan starrer Dabangg.
Now yet another clash has been averted between Sanjay Dutt starrer Knock Out and Ajay Devgn starrer Aakrosh. Both the above mentioned films were to release on Oct 1 but better sense prevailed among producers Sohail Maklai (of Knock Out) and Kumar Mangat (of Aakrosh) and eventually it has been decided that while Aakrosh will release as scheduled on Oct 1, Knock Out will come out on either Oct 8 or Oct 15.
Knock Out directed by Mani Shankar is an edge of the seat thriller starring Sanjay Dutt, Irrfan Khan and Kangna Ranaut while Aakrosh directed by Priyadarshan is a story about honour killing starring Ajay Devgn, Akshaye Khanna and Bipasha Basu in lead roles.
Considering that the lead actors of the two films Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn are also good friends, we are sure that taking such a mutually beneficial decision wouldn't have been too hard for the makers of the respective films.

You can own a house, a car, and a summerhouse. You can have a beautiful spouse and plenty of money. You can own a second house and rent it out. You can own a second car and have a good career, successful children, admirable qualities, a sound reputation, and the highest grades. You can have influential neighbors and better contacts. You can own gold, jewelry, a state-of-the-art cellphone, the greatest palace, and a magnificent yacht. You can possess rippling muscles, the most beautiful body, a great conscience, supreme respect, and the gratitude of everyone. You can own the most luxurious items, memberships to the most exclusive clubs, a credit card with no limit, passion, sex, and even love.
You can own whatever you are able to own, because if you do not, you can never BE! Your being, your existence, your place on this world, and your identity all depend on what you own. So, you need to work, struggle, and prevent others from stealing your rightful possessions. You must annihilate, so you can own, own, own!
This is the defect underlying all worldly affairs: A fundamental belief that we must own to BE. This single belief determines our entire lives. It has created the chaotic state of today's world. Wanting "to own" is at the root of all suffering.
The evolution of humanity will become a reality at this point. Has thousands of years of evolution been to just say farewell to a single word? Has it been to stop using the word "own" and just "be" instead?
Only "being" is enough to change the whole world…
Only "being" will transform the belief that something can be "mine," which is a product of "owning," into just "myself," so you can just be…
With a single farewell, humanity can say hello to a brand-new experience in a world where those who "BE" will escape the tyranny of the "owners" by just BEing.
So when should this happen? Right now!
Where should it happen? Inside ourselves first.
How should it happen? Just become aware. What do you chase after, and what do you expect to achieve when you catch it? You'll then realize that owning things never brings the desired result. In fact, you'll always see new carrots to chase. Owning that house will not help you BE, neither will plenty of money in the bank. It won't happen by getting married to a supermodel, going on a luxury holiday, or starting a successful business, because you exist based on what you are, not on whatever you own.
Now ask yourself this: If everything you owned, your identity, your positions, and your relationships all vanished, who would you be? What would be left?
If your answer is nothing and the possibility scares you witless, you would probably try "to own" again at the earliest opportunity, as would many people. Even if you're scared, you would run through the fear. This courage is not beating the fear but rather proceeding in spite of it, because only then would you be able to find wealth again…
If your answer is nothing, but this makes you peaceful, you will proceed to the beyond and discover the wholeness emanating from nothingness, the real BEing, the infinite treasure beyond imagination…
If your answer is that everything will remain, just sit down and tell us about this wholeness. Let us listen, but don't skip the details! What we really need is to "BE everything" not to "own everything." If you have experienced this, I am ready to listen to you and feel it all… 🙂

As a lot has been going on behind the scenes during the last few weeks and months, but only little came through to the website or even the forums, so I just want to give a small update on the current Ca3DE development status.
The planned Ca3DE TechDemo is the center of all recent developments. A base map has been evaluated and chosen for the indoor parts, and the original author gave us permission to convert and use it for Ca3DE.
CaWE was properly enhanced by a map importing module for this purpose, and many related problems were fixed (e.g. increased precision and numerical stability for map files).
The new and very big TechDemo map candidate also brought up many issues with the existing tools, like for example problems by round-off errors. All these problems were addressed and fixed in fall and early winter 2005, involving for example the rewriting of the 3D math library that is underlying to all Ca3DE components.
In December and early January, the Ca3DE model rendering was thoroughly revised and improved. The well known problems at wrapping and mirror seams were fixed and the memory requirements per model significatnly reduced.
Just today I added an enhancement to the CaLight tool that dramatically lowers the memory requirements for one of its internal data structures by a factor of 32(!). For the TechDemo map, this meant a reduction from about 1311 MB to about 43 MB.
In general, I currently work on making the initial TechDemo map compile and run with Ca3DE, thereby fixing all potential problems that I encounter. (The TechDemo turns up a few issues like the above memory requirements just because of its huge dimensions and complexity. It's a lot of fun to look into these matters and to unbundle old restrictions!)
Another step that is soon to occur is the employment of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 compiler for Ca3DE development, which is freely available to everyone in its Express Edition. I'll also switch to SCons for controlling the builds.
The consequences for MOD developers will be minor, and I'll address them in greater detail as soon as the changes become effective.
The current development step is still to make the very basic, initial TechDemo map compile and work with Ca3DE. This process is almost complete though, as only CaLight was still missing in the chain - see above.
Then the actual TechDemo core work will begin, like mapping, modelling, texturing and of course also code improvements.
I can currently not foresee when the TechDemo will eventually be released, but I sure hope that some prerelease screenshots can be made available in a while.

The goal is to make the sale, keep the customer, and keep the customer coming back for life, right?
But the methods of keeping this system in place has started to shift. If your business isn't ready to evolve, you're going to lose business and will already be feeling the pinch.
What is the best way to get ahead in this emerging world of customer empowerment? Honestly?
It's to understand it and secondly to act accordingly.
In the past, customer habits fell into a somewhat linear conversion path or were filtered through a funnel. Along the way, with the right touch points and elements of customer service, the sale would be secured. People, in those days, would remain somewhat loyal.
In today's world, consumers want what they want whenever they want it, on their terms and if you don't have it or don't appeal to them, they'll find another option. On the surface it appears unpredictable, but yet is it not! People don't need a salesperson like they did in the past. They've already done their research or are happy to do it for themselves. Embrace this new reality instead of expecting it to go back to the way things "used to be."
Businesses need to be ready to embrace the modern, multi-channel options. Be happy to lose the illusion of having control, in reality it was never really there in the first place. Make sure to understand your customer journey. Engage with customers as they go through it. This includes having more than just a brochure for a website and more than just an analytics account. It means embracing them on a variety of paths customers take on their way to make a purchase. This includes online platforms, off-line options, and most of all to be engaging.
If you're not speaking the customer's language in a way that they want, chances are they won't be speaking yours.
Work towards accepting and implementing this new reality, while not easy, is the way to business growth. There is no silver bullet. Listen. Understand. Implement. Repeat.
Digital Scorecard identifies how well a business uses digital along their Customer Journey and where improvements can be made. If you are interested in discovering more about Customer Journey work and an opportunity to get involved you can discover more here.
