Atlas Copco has launched a new compact and highly versatile single axle portable compressor. The XATS 138 provides a combination of efficiency and flexibility through its intuitive PACE pressure adjustment system that enables end users to precisely match air flow and pressure to their specific application needs.
22 May 2017
Our forward-thinking approach to design means we never compromise when it comes to providing customers with efficiency. This mantra is epitomised in our new "crossover" compressor, which is not just extremely efficient and easy-to-move, but also offers the added flexibility of being able to provide more pressure and flow if required. The XATS 138 enables users to effectively deploy a single compressor for multiple applications, optimising their fleet investment, improving utilisation and realising a higher return on investment in the process."
With the PACE (Pressure Adjusted through Cognitive Electronics) system, operating pressures can be adjusted, in a matter of seconds, by increments of 0.1 bar via an intuitive XC2003 controller. The fully integrated, ergonomically positioned controller facilitates diagnostics, tracks the compressor's utilisation and indicates planned service interventions.
The XATS 138 features an extremely strong canopy and undercarriage to enable safe transportation. The bodywork is protected by a three-layer layer corrosion resistance system, including a Zincor, primer and a powder coating. Furthermore, it confirms to corrosion protection category C3, helping to keep the canopy corrosion free for up to 10 years which extends the compressor's equipment lifetime and increase its residual value. A spillage-free frame, which is fitted as a standard component, is guaranteed to contain all fluids.
Lightweight and compact, the compressor is mounted on a single axle, thus enhancing its manoeuvrability. The compressor's small footprint, makes it easier to tow compared to other models in the same power class.
The XATS 138 is powered by a 4-cylinder, Stage 3B compliant, Kubota engine. Additionally, it comes equipped with a DOC-DPF after-treatment exhaust system, which provides emission compliance at no additional cost. Operating parameters are -20 °C to +45 °C.
By combining Atlas Copco's patented rotary screw element with a 49 kW Kubota diesel engine, end users are provided with a portable compressor that is best-in-class in terms of fuel economy: capable of achieving a 25 per cent fuel saving at normal load. The normal effective working pressure range is 7-10.3 bar with a flow of 5.5-7.0 m3/min.
Service efficiency was a key factor when designing the new compressor. The end result is that the XATS 138 provides extended service intervals, both for the compressor: 1000 hours or once every two years on average, and engine: 500 hours or once a year on average. This, combined with the long life of all consumable parts, reduces the total cost of operation and increases utilisation. What's more, customers can plan and predict product availability and maintenance costs precisely by opting for a range of customisable service plans.
Additional features, such as a spin-on air/oil separator, ensure that the service interventions are short and efficient. On a practical level, the dimensions of the U-Flex, pivot canopy provide greater access for service.
A wide range of optional equipment enables the XATS 138 to be adapted further to meet specific application needs, and increase its operational versatility for even the most demanding working environments. Additional options include road signalisation, a tool box, adjustable tow bar, after-cooler with water separator and emergency stop button.
In keeping with all Atlas Copco portable compressors, the XATS 138 offers buyers the security of high residual value and the option of a guaranteed buy-back agreement.

Why You Need to Deal With We Buy Houses Houston.
Actually, real estate investments require the use of reliable and best methods so that high returns can be achieved from the investments. For a long time, people have been encountering different challenges while trying to sell houses or homes due to various reasons. Relying on brokers and selling houses to individual buyers are some of the contributing factors to selling challenges.
One of the limitations of dealing with individual buyers is that financing is based on borrowings that take a long time before they are processed. When you use brokerage services, you will also have to wait until the broker finds a buyer.
Due to this fact, you cannot rely on these methods to be the main source of fast or emergency cash. However, dealing with we buy houses Houston Company such as Fast Cash Offers will eliminate all these challenges. These transactions are advantageous in various ways.
1. Fast access to cash and process convenience.
When you deal with these investors, you will definitely enjoy a quick sale service and convenience. In the traditional house selling process, the selling process can last up to three or more months before the exchange is done and the deal closed. On the contrary, when you deal with these house buyers, you can close the deal even within a week. Therefore, the one way of selling a house fast Houston is dealing with these investors. Fast access to cash is what brings about convenience.
1. The ideal method for stopping foreclosure and selling of probate houses.
This is another area that is well addressed when you decide to sell probate or pending foreclosure houses. Selling probate houses is a complicated process and many buyers do not like buying such assets. However, when it comes to these investors, it is not a problem for them.
If you have the right documents with you, it will not be a complicated process for the investors to buy the asset. These transactions are advantageous in that you can also avoid foreclosure. Through the sale, you will get funds that you will use to repay the creditor. This prevents asset loss through creditor repossession.
3. No unnecessary fees and charges.
Selling houses through brokers and other facilitators are expensive because you have to pay certain amounts of money as commission or facilitation fee. Some brokers may charge high commissions making the whole process expensive and the sale unprofitable. However, when dealing with these service providers, you do not have to incur any cost. You will not incur costs associated with repair, renovation, attorney fees, house appraisal, and facilitation and so on.

OLN Enters the Boxing Ring

Green Party's Jill Stein (Getty Images)
By Jason Devaney |
Monday, 28 November 2016 08:52 PM
Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has filed a lawsuit against Wisconsin for not promising to recount the election results by hand.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Stein wants the recount — which will begin Thursday — done a certain way. If Stein does not win the lawsuit, officials will recount the ballots any way they choose.
The recount will start Thursday, but only if Stein or another candidate backing the effort pays the $3.5 million it will cost.
Stein, the Chicago Tribune reported, wants to force Wisconsin to hand count the roughly 3 million votes cast in the Nov. 8 election. More than 30 of the state's 72 counties have vowed to check the results the old fashioned way. The others will likely use a mix of hand and machine counting.
Stein is also seeking recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The Tribune reported the last statewide recount in Wisconsin was after a 2011 state Supreme Court election.

Hilde and her little ones
I met Hilde at her home in Milnerton to help welcome the arrival of her newborn son who was only one week old at the time of the shoot. His slightly older sister was also at home, so off course we couldn't exclude her from the shoot! Hilde also has two older children who already goes to school, so I could focus all my attention on the little ones.

Republican State Leadership Committee Inc.
April 21, 2011
This is a Virginia-based group that supports Republican candidates for state offices around the country. It spent nearly $936,000 on independent expenditures in the 2010 fall elections – the first time it sponsored outside electioneering activities in Wisconsin.
The organization first engaged in phony issue ads in March and April 2011 when it sponsored two 30-second television ads against Democratic Senators Jim Holperin of Conover and Dave Hansen of Green Bay. The ads criticized the pair for going to Illinois with the rest of the Senate Democrats in order to prevent a vote on Republican Governor Scott Walker's controversial plan to end most public employee collective bargaining rights.
The organization filed an oath of independent disbursements in opposition to Steve Doyle, the Democratic candidate in Assembly District 94.
Last active election: 2010
This organization is registered with the Government Accountability Board following the January 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC as a corporation making independent disbursements.

MUSICAL tribute acts are two a penny these days and now, it seems, comedy is taking the same route.
They've been before and no doubt they'll be back soon – Peter Gill and Andrew Meller return to the Mill Studio at Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre on Thursday (May 14) with Another Evening with the Humour of Bob Newhart and Tom Lehrer.
The comedy duo present their dedication to the satirical humour of American comic legends Bob Newhart and Tom Lehrer.
In the late 1950s rock 'n' roll was changing popular music forever.
At the same time satirist Tom Lehrer and comedian Bob Newhart were causing their own kind of mayhem on both sides of the Atlantic – Bob Newhart's first album The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart actually outsold Elvis Presley to reach the top of the charts in 1960.
Through wickedly funny satire, Tom Lehrer sang of Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, doing The Masochism Tango and Getting IT (VD) From Agnes.
Bob Newhart was gentler with his comedy routines, delivering hilarious monologues as a Driving Instructor, Captain of The USS Codfish and the importer for Sir Walter Raleigh (Bringing Tobacco to Civilisation) – performances that made him one of the most popular comedians of all time.
Peter and Andrew's current show is a follow-up to their hugely successful An Evening with the Humour of Bob Newhart and Tom Lehrer, this time with more songs and sketches from the catalogue of two of America's greatest satirists of the 50s and 60s.
Expect such gems as Bob Newhart's The Nudist Camp Expose, The Daddy of All Hangovers and Superman and the Dry Cleaners; and Tom Lehrer's Pollution, Smut and Oedipus Rex.


text: acneman21293 0 Posted March 9, 2013 I've eaten like crap since a little kid high gi foods all the time. I had the worst breakout of my life when I tried to put on weight eating anything at 4000 calories a day. It's now pretty much under control under minocycline but I know antibiotics are no cure for severe acne. I'm in college now and can't really afford to go on paleo at this point. My plan is to stay on mino for a few weeks into the summer while starting the paleo then coming off the mino. I also saw my acne get much worse when winter rolled around. I'm taking probiotics now and have had no complications with mino in the past. I was on it for 3 months my sr year of high school. I will continue to take probiotics and 24000 iu of vitamin a prescribed by my dermatologist for the summer. Anyone think I can at least control my severe acne with this plan? Anyone gone from severe acne to mild acne by doing something similar? Having a plan gives me at least a little hope. My acne shouldn't come back worse just because I'm on mino right? The only real complications to worry about would be severe side effects caused my the diminishing flora from what I've researched. Antibiotics are such a waste of time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Libby Kirwin: With two flourishing businesses under her belt, in 2012 Libby spread her wings even farther and launched her own renovation business, Libby Kirwin Design + Renovation Consulting. Capitalizing on her knowledge of what sells in the local market; Libby works with investors on purchasing dilapidated properties and oversees their complete renovation- typically reselling these properties in record time.
Dotty Kirwin: (Libby's mother) is a New Jersey native who came to Newport as a bride almost 42 years ago. She says, "I will never forget first seeing Newport as we came off the ferry. I thought I had gone back in time to a place filled with fabulous architecture, the most charming historic homes with enormous fireplaces and extraordinary doors and windows all lined up so close to each other on cobblestone streets in a town that was immersed in history. I was hooked immediately."Having moved from an area in New Jersey where every free parcel of land had been developed into a shopping mall, Dotty saw Newport as virtually untouched, except for the "new bridge" which was under construction at the time. All of the shops were tiny specialty stores; the dress shop, the hat shop, one bakery, one pizzeria, the enchanting Ley's Century Store with its creaky wooden floors, the linen shop and of course the incredible tree-lined Bellevue Avenue. In the 1970s, Dotty and her husband purchased a number of vacant properties and rehabbed them into charming apartments which today are condominiums. It wasn't until 20 years later that Dotty got licensed to sell Real Estate. With a passion for interior design, Dotty combines her keen eye for design with her innate sales ability to sell homes throughout Rhode Island.

Asian and Pacific Islander Survivors: Barriers to Access
By dint of their immigrant, refugee, and/or other historically marginalized identities, API survivors face barriers that are compounded by socio-cultural factors such as economics, immigration status, culture, religion, systems failure, homophobia, victim-blaming communities, and limited English proficiency. In the changing landscape of gender violence, unique dynamics, new trends, stringent barriers, and increased manipulation by batterers, API survivors face complex service barriers.

Here we go-only three days left after today!
My husband and Kitty came to watch the videos! Anne, we've been blog friends so long that you had a kid, made another kid, carried it for 9 months, gave birth, and now the kid is 7 months old. Hooray to friendship!
December 21, The One Who Is: So much going on in such a short story. Wonderfully rich. It conjured so many emotions. A lump in my throat, a tear to my eye. (Your baby had a lot to say about it, too :).)
December 22, Returning to the Problem: This story was too freakishly timely given the state of affairs in the world today. It was a difficult read, though. The author called it a "frankenstory" in his Hingston & Olsen interview (https://www.hingstonandolsen.com/2018/22/eugene-lim-returning-to-the-problem), and I think that pretty much sums it up. I can't say I found it an entertaining read, but there were some interesting tidbits in there (and only 1 footnote). Today's cover reminded me of a prison. Coincidence? I think not. I, too, honed in on the line you referenced.
I love your gold scrunchie!
These stories sound intense. Yay for epidurals!
It's a bummer about the chocolate advent calendar. Maybe next year you should just go nuts and buy a new kind of chocolate treat for every day in December. 🙂
I think you should let Arthur review the next one! The second one sounds as if you found it really thought-provoking, which isn't always easy in a short story. Maybe next year you should MAKE a chocolate advent calendar where you choose all your own favourite chocolates…

Dynamic bidding is a feature that Amazon introduced early on in 2019 as a replacement for the original Amazon Bid+ modifier that Advertisers could use within the Amazon Advertising platform. Amazon Bid+ was an Amazon Advertising feature that increased your max CPC bid by 50% if Amazon thinks your ad is eligible to show up at the top of the search result. Bid+ was only available with manual campaigns and wouldn't take you above your budget. With Dynamic bidding, instead of just being able to add a 50% modifier to bids, now you have 3 modifier options:
- Dynamic – Bid Down Only
- Basic rules of auction-style for Amazon. If Amazon believes the term that is searched for your item is not relevant, or less likely to convert, it will bid down to the appropriate sponsored position, for a lesser dollar amount.
- Dynamic – Bid Up and Down
- As the name implies, this option allows Amazon to raise or lower your bid based on your likelihood of converting. For example, if Amazon believes your ad is more likely to lead to a sale, they might increase your bid to give you better placements. Similarly, if Amazon believes you are less likely to convert a particular click to a sale (because of placement, price, competition, or even the search term), they might lower your bid so you don't pay as much for the click. While dynamic bidding up and down can be a great tool, it's not meant to be a replacement for sophisticated auto-bidding technology, as Amazon will only make changes up to $1 up or down.
- Fixed Bid
- Amazon will not adjust your bid on the likelihood of conversion.
When to use dynamic bidding on Amazon
A great time to use Dynamic Bidding is when you are trying to win the top placements for keywords within the selected campaign. In search results, it is the first set of products that a potential customer sees. If you place top of search, you are more likely to get clicks and impressions, than being lower down the page. If you are noticing in your placement report that you are not always winning top placement and wasting spend on either product page or "Rest of Search" placements, this is a great opportunity to use this new feature. By lowering your initial bid to a fraction of the cost and adding a bid modifier to the placement you want to win, Amazon cancels out all the other placements (as the bid is low enough not to compete) and focuses more of the spend and bids on the placement you want (as the modifier is on the placement you are targeting). Combining these placements gives you a great chance of getting a sale, taking advantage of the full landscape of what Amazon has to offer. This helps reduce unwanted spend in other placements.
When not to use dynamic bidding on Amazon
We suggest staying away from using modifiers (dynamic bidding and bid by placement) when starting new campaigns. When you do not have the data to support knowing the ideal bid that is needed to capture the search term, you are risking over or underbidding on the search query, resulting in either an unprofitable or unreliable bid. Raw data from simple inputs are better analyzed over adding additional metrics to the pot. Adding a bid modifier on top of a new keyword skews the average CPC data and ultimately the advertising can't understand what is profitable or what isn't profitable. Until data is accumulated, and you know how you convert for different search queries or have enough room to explore, then we do not suggest adding modifiers.
What is bid by placement?
Bid by placement is an additional modifier in conjunction with dynamic bidding. With bid by placement, It allows you to dedicate more spend towards better converting placements, segmenting your budget to make the most of it. You can modify your bid by where you would like your Ads to show up.
- Placement Modifiers:
- Top of Page: Top of first page placements
- Product Page: Middle and bottom placements of first page
- Rest of Search: Rest of the pages (second page on) placements.
- How much can a placement be modified?
- Top of Page: up to 900% of the original bid
- Product Page: up to 900% of the original bid
- Rest of Search: Cannot be modified.
What campaign types are supported?
- Sponsored Products
- Auto Campaigns
- ASIN Targeting Campaigns
- Manual Campaigns
- Sponsored brand ads and product display ads are not currently supported
When to use bid by placement on Amazon
Adjust bids by placement is a relatively new feature that allows you to modify your bids, in real-time, to win specific placements on Amazon. Currently, Amazon categorizes its' ad inventory into three different sections: top of search results, product pages and rest of search. Through testing, you might notice that your ads convert better when they appear on top of search – this would be an opportunity to use "bidding by placement" and target top of search for those specific products. For example, we often use bidding by placement to help our clients win all positions on the search results page for their specific branded keywords. By creating multiple campaigns with bid modifiers, we can precisely control where each ad shows on site.
Dynamic bidding is a robust replacement to the original Bid(+) modifier. Dynamic bidding gives more control of how and where you place your advertisements, enabling you to be more granular with your PPC strategy. The bid modifier options offered with the feature allow advertisers to strategically place lower end bids and leverage the automatic modifiers to ensure they are receiving the advertising placement their strategy calls for or allowing advertisers the option to bid down on terms that are deemed less valuable to your campaign – saving you money to invest in campaigns with higher conversion rates and helping keep you within your target ACoS goals. In addition to the bid modifiers, the bid by placement feature allows you to leverage the actual placement of your ad and ensure you are winning the placement you are after. With these options being offered to you and being able to customize them to your specific advertising strategy there is no reason not to be leveraging these in your ad campaigns across Amazon when it makes sense. This is a great improvement over the old feature and shows the level of investment that Amazon is making into its advertising platform by offering up these great features to its sellers. The future of Amazon Advertising is bright – be sure you are taking full advantage of all the tools, resources and offerings they are making available to you.

Eden Hazard has suggested Chelsea must play a more attacking brand of football if they are to improve next season.
Hazard's first-half penalty won the FA Cup for the Blues, giving them a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Wembley.
But it has been a largely disappointing season, with Chelsea having failed to qualify for the Champions League.
There have also been reports that relations between Hazard and manager Antonio Conte have been frosty.
Conte is widely expected to be replaced this summer and there has been speculation over Hazard's future for some time.
And Hazard told the BBC: "We scored one goal and it's enough, but I think if we want to win a lot of games we need to play better, because we just played defensively.
"We were lucky to score one goal and that is the most important thing. In the final you just need to win and we won it, so we are just happy."
Asked about his future, Hazard said: "Now I'm just happy – to see the fans celebrate.
"We didn't play a great season, but at least we finished well. That's the important thing."
Captain Gary Cahill said the victory was much needed given Chelsea's struggles this season.
Cahill said: "This was to save our season. And by that I'm not saying we've had a magnificent season by any stretch, but we're used to winning and we have to try and win things."

Jury comment
From beautifully detailed country homes (Goulburn Valley House) to a housing model that faces the challenges of increasing density in Australian cities (Clarence Houses), the body of residential work by Rob Kennon Architects is undoubtedly impressive.
Each project presented to the practice is executed with rigour and attention to detail, even those with a tight budget. The interiors are warm and friendly, often using a layering of textures and an expression of structure for character and depth. Catering to the needs of each individual family, these homes are a pleasure to be in.
Although the practice has developed a distinctive aesthetic and approach, the unique sites presented to the practice are taken as an opportunity to connect with a new context.
Since being established in 2011, Rob Kennon Architects has demonstrated an uncompromised commitment to creating delightful spaces for living and the jury is excited to see what's next for this practice.

A long time ago (and I'm dating myself a bit), there used to be a massive lumber yard in Orlando known as Mills & Nebraska. Beginning business as Central Florida Lumber and Supply Co., it was located – quite obviously – at the then sleepy intersection of Mills Ave. and Nebraska, roughly halfway between Little Vietnam and Loch Haven Park.
The lumber portion, and the land on which it was located, was sold for redevelopment in 2005. That redevelopment became a major portion of the Mills50 district, a mixed use facility with residences, shopping, dining, etc. There are a few warehouse-looking buildings there as well. In one corner of one of those warehouses, situated along the Orlando Urban Trail and close to Mills Ave., is 1010 Virginia Drive.
At this point you should be able to guess where its tenant, Ten10 Brewing, got its name.
Ten10 is becoming one of those breweries that are starting to get a name and reputation that is vastly and quickly outgrowing its location and physical space. In the coming months, Ten10 and its owners Mike Wallace and Patrick McPherson are doubling their physical size by taking additional space in the same building. All of this is earmarked for additional fermentation tanks and maybe a canning line in the near future.
Not that there's any need to expand the tap room area of the facility. That's already taken care of, with an extensive tap list and even a kitchen with a dedicated chef. They have some of the standard brewery offerings, including limited bomber releases, crowlers, and even wines from Quantum Leap Winery located in the building next door.
But pretty much everyone is there to see what Mike, the brewmaster, churns out on his system. He also spends a good amount of time sourcing adjuncts from businesses around him, as you're about to see. While it was by no means a definitive list of what they have on tap, but here's what I was able to try:
Urban Trail (Pale Ale, 5.5% ABV, 45 IBU) – Named for the biking trail located right outside their front door. This is a simple, easy drinking pale ale with a good amount of bitterness coming from the ample addition of Cascade and Comet hops.
Ritual Practice (Saison, 4.5% ABV) – This saison was a special tapping, very limited. The flavors of juniper and star anise bring a very interesting, very darkly sweet flavor to a light, smooth saison. It's an interesting combination and worth Mike repeating.
Black Gold (Stout, 7.5% ABV, 25 IBU) – It's a white stout, a rather interesting and usually gimmicky style. With this beer, however, Mike also added dark Belgian chocolate and Ramiro coffee from Lineage Roasters, maybe 5 minutes down the road. It had an insanely dark body and flavor, with the heavy coffee and dark cocoa notes completely at odds with a gorgeous gold color.
The Lebanon (Stout, 10% ABV, 30 IBU) – Not sure as to how a Human League song inspired an imperial stout, but there you go. Cardamom, cinnamon, and Modern American Roast from Lineage come together in a big, chewy brew. It's the cardamom, however, that really differentiates this beer, giving it a nutty, almost curry-esque quality.
We'll hope the team at Ten10 can get that expansion and canning line up and running sometime soon. It will be nice to be able to get their beers without having to make the trek back to O-Town.
But if I go, at least the address won't be hard to figure out.

Square and Rectangular Steel Railings
The design below was an idea that the owner of Arndt Co., in Pacific, Washington.Railings by Craig carried out the owner's ideas to fabricate the stair, hand, and balcony rails. The horizontal rods are rectangular in shape and are powder coated in a silver. The posts are thick tube steel and are painted black. The wood top cap was installed over steel flat bar.
The railings below are another example of the industrial look only on this project they were designed and installed on a condominium building in Kirkland, Washington. The client wished for a single powder coating color; however, on component railings such as this (separate posts, bars and top rail), different colors and textures of powders may be used. The client opted to use steel as the top rail rather than a wood cover.
This project is on a new apartment complex in Auburn, Washington. Railings by Craig used steel square tubes for this job, which needed unit dividers and the long balcony run shown below. The project was powder coated in a basic white to blend in with the other units.
The railings shown in silver consist of a gate and a pool enclosure at the same apartment complex in Auburn, Washington. These railings were built at a height of six feet and are powder coated in a dazzling silver.
The porch railing project here is affectionately known as "Grandma's House."
The client called Railings by Craig to build a simple front and back porch railing for his grandmother's home off Main Street in Auburn, Washington.

This is an intensive course on Operational Risk Management & Mitigation – from assessing the operational risks to how to implementing a working, viable operational risk management program. Aimed at the financial services industry this course explores the Operational Risk management function and mitigation requirements as mandated in the Basel Accords.
A key objective of this course is to move the participants beyond the operational risk compliance requirements set down in the Basel Accords to an understanding of managing operational risk as a value added proposition that can be instrumental in increasing the profitability of the bank while at the same time improving its structural strength.
Now the ongoing continuum of headline-grabbing operational risk incidents at banks, other financial institutions and even regulators continue to keep the issue of operational risk management at the top of agendas of CEO's , CRO's, Risk Managers and Internal & External Auditors alike.
These incidents are wide ranging and flow from issues like bank ATM collapses, bank operating system failures, regulatory settlements (fines) in the ongoing US sub-prime mortgage saga, rogue traders and the related risk managers who either missed or were willfully blind to all the warning signs.
As the size and complexity of financial institutions has increased, so too have the challenges of understanding and reducing operational risks down to truly manageable levels. Increased regulatory concern and scrutiny have also increased the cost of operational risk events in the shape of outright financial loss, regulatory fines and declining customer confidence.
Operational Risk Management (ORM) is an effective tool for not only maintaining but increasing, bank profits, shareholder value, public perceptions and goodwill.
Executed properly, improvements in ORM can lead to substantial financial, reputational and regulatory benefits – all this adds up to increased profitability, greater financial stability and improved customer satisfaction – in short, a better safer bank/ financial institution.
But, to achieve these gains, financial institutions must apply a consistent and comprehensive approach to managing their operational risks. They must also understand that this approach is fundamentally different from the approaches that they use in managing market, credit and liquidity risks.
"Bad" ORM has a severely negative effect on financial institutions in four very clear ways;
- Actual operational risk losses are a direct hit to the income statement. Equally the massive fines being paid have the same effect.
- The market punishes companies, via the stock price, for operational risk failures. This loss of value could well exceed the actual financial loss experience by the risk event in the first place.
- Lowered Credit Ratings, which raises the institutions cost of borrowing money in the marketplace.
- Operational risk failures can vastly increase the cost of compliance by raising the level of regulatory scrutiny and complexity not to mention substantial penalties.
Operations Risk -
Active Management & Compliance
Which organizations should attend?
Who should attend the Course?
All too often banks have seen the need to effectively manage their operational risks as simply an issue of complying with what the bank regulator requires, in this case the operational risk requirements of the Basel Accords, rather than a disciplined process in its own right, that serves to not only ensure a banks survival but which can, in the long run, contribute to that bank's financial fortune.
Implementing an effective ORM routine ("Good" Operational Risk Management) is a complex process. At its core is an understanding of what operations risk is and how it can be managed.
This course is an intensive introduction to operational risk management and mitigation. It is designed to provide a practical "hands-on" approach to participants which will furnish them with all the tools and techniques they need to begin implementing what they have learned as soon as they return to the office.
The underlying course philosophy is to move the participants beyond the largely theoretical international compliance requirements for operations risk (specifically those contained in the Basel Accords), and into an understanding of the practice of operations risk management and an ability to actually implement these procedures.
Learning Objectives:
The objectives of this training course is to provide all staff, irrespective of whether they work in the front-, middle- or back-office, with a sound foundation in the theory and practice of Operational Risk Management. This training is provided in a practical "hands-on" manner that allows them to implement what they have learned easily and effectively the minute they return to the office.
What this course covers
This course provides a complete structured package for learning in all main aspects of the subject of managing Operational Risk under the Basel Accords. It will enable participants to prepare and manage the planning and implementation of operational risk management processes in their bank/ financial institution or firm.
Key objectives and learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide;
- An understanding of Risk in all its facets
- What the Basel Accords say about operational risk and its mitigation
- An understanding of Operational Risk Techniques for assessing, managing and mitigating Operational Risk
- A link between Operational Risk management theory & practice
- A clear "road-map" on how to implement a Operational Risk management structure them in practice in a banking organization.
This training course uses a combination of prepared tuition, examples, discussions, exercises and case studies.
Most importantly it will offer participants, opportunities to share experiences and plan work within small working groups, providing practice in the application of the techniques and tools generating active participation.

ABOUT THE COURSEIn this course, you will learn how to test the web application, and how that knowledge helps you avoid common pitfalls and drastically improve your ability to debug problems. This course follows a hands-on, example-driven approach to show and explain all the important features added in selenium. This course is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about automation testing.
COURSE OBJECTIVESUpon successful completion of the course, the learner will be able to :
Selenium WebDriver is a web automation framework that allows you to execute your tests against different browsers. Selenium webdriver uses locators to find the web elements on web page. Locator is a command that tells Selenium IDE which GUI elements its needs to operate on. In this module we will learn about features of selenium IDE, Various Web Drivers and API and the locators in selenium.
Selenium WebDriver is the most frequently used tool among all the tools available in the Selenium tool set. Therefore it is important to understand how to use Selenium to interact with web apps. In this module, let us understand how to interact with GUI objects using Selenium webDriver.
Regular expressions are a very useful technique for improving Selenium WebDriver tests. In Selenium, regular expression patterns allow a user to perform many tasks that would be very difficult otherwise. Uploading a file is a common piece of functionality found on the web. In this module we will see how to Handle RegEx-Matches and how File uploading is done in selenium.
TestNG is a testing framework designed to simplify a broad range of testing needs, from unit testing to integration testing. TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit. It has more functionalities compared to JUnit and NUnit and it is more powerful and easier to use. In this module we will learn about TestNG Annotations and Listeners. We will also understand how to Prioritize the test methods.
In this module you will gain a deep knowledge about how to pass multiple data to the application at runtime. For that, we need to parameterize our test scripts. Parameterized tests allow developers to run the same test over and over again using different values. We will learn how to parameterize the data using Data Provider and testng.xml.
In this module you will get complete knowledge about Page Object Model in selenium. Page Object Model is a design pattern to create Object Repository for web UI elements. Under this model, for each web page in the application, there should be corresponding page class. This Page class will find the WebElements of that web page and also contains Page methods which perform operations on those WebElements. You will also learn Page Factory model in selenium.
In this topic we can understand about Selenium Framework and how does it works. Selenium Framework is a code structure that helps to make code maintenance easy. This module covers different frameworks like Data Driven Framework, Apache POI API, Keyword Driven and Hybrid Model.

Prep time: 5 mins
Chill time: 1 hour
350g ripe strawberries, hulled, plus 1 extra strawberry, finely sliced, to garnish
250g cucumber, peeled and seeded, plus 8 thin slices to garnish
Freshly squeezed lime juice, to taste
Maple syrup or caster sugar, to taste
Fine salt, to taste
1. Roughly chop the strawberries and cucumber and place in a blender. Blitz to a smooth puree.
2. The quantity needed of the rest of the ingredients depends on how sweet and ripe the strawberries are. Taste first, and add the remaining flavours gradually, a pinch or dash at a time – you may not need the maple syrup or sugar at all.
3. Chill in the fridge for an hour before serving, then taste and season or sweeten again if necessary, as the flavours will flatten out when cold. Serve in small bowls, garnished with the sliced cucumber, as a starter, palate cleanser or light dessert.
A dollop of soured cream, creme fraiche, yoghurt or even vanilla ice cream works brilliantly here if serving as pudding. Add the leaves from a sprig of mint or basil to the blender for a more fragrant version of the soup.

The four apartments located in the Park Avenue Apartment District reflect trends in residential living that occurred as improved transportation lines made it possible for more people to move away from the congested urban core. The oldest apartments in the district, the Barnard (1902) and Unitah (1904), are substantial architect-designed buildings with interior courtyards and refined details throughout. The newer buildings, duplexes constructed in 1916 on a smaller parcel of land than their upscale neighbors, are simpler in plan and detail. Although the buildings in the district differ in design and scale, they are unified in their builders' efforts to attract middle and upper-middle class persons looking for affordable but stylish housing options close to reliable transportation and downtown employment. While the neighborhood and the buildings' themselves have experienced some change over the years, the early success of these developments as residential units endures to the present.

Child Psychologists suggest that sensory play is a crucial component in early childhood development. As adults we are well aware of the senses of touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing but can we actually recall at what age we discovered that soap is completely different than a candy bar. The answer in most cases is, No. Children need sensory activities to facilitate and encourage them to use scientific processes while they explore this world. Allowing children to participate in sensory activities enables them to stimulate their senses and develop cognitively, linguistically, socially, emotionally, physically, and creatively. Thus it is crucial that every child experience sensory integration activities early.
On this day, it was Baby Mason's first sensory experience with spaghetti. As he began to slowly take his chances on the taste of spaghetti, it was obvious that one of two options were looming, the complete dissatisfaction and the abandonment of spaghetti forever or the absolute spaghetti onslaught. I was quite compelled to see what the future for this bowl of spaghetti would be. He soon dug his baby hands into the bowl and indulged. Noodle-by-noodle he slurped his way through the bowl allowing for quite some memorable photo's to be captured from this sensory experience. To say the least, Mason's senses were stimulated as his experience with Spaghetti & Sensory came to a filling end.

Possibly the most important question in the sanctity of LOVE, "Will you marry me?" is identified as the culminating moment when an individual confesses their willingness to spend eternity with the love of their life. On this day I had the opportunity to capture the moment all relationships at one point or another lead up to. Popping the question makes many men anxious but not this day. Confidence played a vital role in how magnificently the question was delivered. The "yes" followed soon enough and that moment was now embedded into the memories of these two love birds as they continue their journey through life together. As the photographer I had to restrain myself from jumping for joy as the acknowledgement was whispered with such heartfelt warmth. Capturing each moment is vital, but what is far more significant is to tell the story of this couple's love for one another. Their love shined bright and glistened vividly challenging the rays of the sun. It was apparent that this moment was theirs to take and eternally cherish.
All the Leaves were brown on this fall day when Baby Alexander gave us a reason to gaze into his adorable eyes as he counted down the days till he was 1. Turning 1 is a big deal for every infant as this is the time they begin to walk, talk, and zip around. Before the big hoorah, it was vital that I capture the essence of fall. As we know fall brings the holiday season full swing. As such it was only fitting to capture details pertaining to the fall season and holidays. Brown leaves, apples, Halloween pumpkins, and Thanksgiving Indians. The natural sun setting beyond the trees was the cherry on top to allow for a warmer tone. The warm tone accentuated the colors of fall. After the fall shoot, the time had come for Baby Alexander to demolish his cake. Fortunately for table manners, Alexander politely ate the cake with his index finger and thumb. He ate the cake in gracious manner at first but once the flavor of sugar sparked his taste buds, he dug right in which resulted in a successful smash the cake session full of laughter, fun, and a sugary mess.
Sketching is an artist's way of presenting his/her thoughts, ideas, and inspiration on paper. When it comes to a photo shoot, I find it best to scribble abstracts on how I'd like the photo to look like prior to going on scene. Much like storyboards in film, pre-shoot sketches conceptualize three vital elements that provide the photographer a visualization of the scene, subject, and composition. The scene comprises of everything in the foreground, center, and background of the subject. The scene includes all things natural and unnatural that corresponds with the photo shoot and subject. The subject or main subject is the reason for the photo shoot. The adorable baby, the romantic couple, or the composed model are all examples of the main subject. The composition or framing is the type of shot you're looking to get out of each set-up. The most common framing techniques used in photography are the rule of third's, empty space, and simplicity. Some photographers capture an image and adjust framing in post-production while others take their time to adjust each as they shoot. There is no right and wrong way to compose an image. Personally I find it more effective to adjust framing during the shoot which allows me to have a variety of photo's to choose from in post-production. If you think about it, sketching is like preparing for what's to come. Sketching in photography or electronic arts is similar to a grocery list, financial planning, and life in the sense that you make a sketch of what you want to accomplish prior to beginning your journey instead of diving head first without any sense of direction. As an old habit from film school, I have realized sketching is definitely a habit worth keeping.
Immensely impactful, abundantly vibrant, and utterly delectable are a few adjectives used to describe a daily necessity that stimulates your five senses to the core. I'm talking about food. Not just any food. Food that tantalizes your pupils with liveliness, crackles through your ear passage infinitely, engulfs your nostrils aromatically, and bewitches your hands till you cannot hold back any longer. Sure, you may think that it is impossible for all those senses to be coupled into one epic moment, but I assure you that you have experienced it subliminally at one point or another when feasting on food and looking up to the heavens above and mentioning "oh my gah" while food is still in your mouth. As beings we enjoy indulging in food and we initially do so with our eyes. Think back to the last time where your entrée was arriving from afar and your eyes tracked the floating plate similar to a lion hunting a delicate gazelle in Sub-Saharan Africa. We enjoy gawking at food as much as we do consuming it. That is why many individuals enjoy food photography. Food photography allows you to be inspired, to crave, and satisfy that craving with minimal effort. The only key ingredient food photography needs is the audience it seeks to satisfy. That is where you come in. Enjoy the photo blog series so aptly named Food for your Mood.
After a recent visit to San Francisco, I discovered that Rice-a-Roni is not the only San Francisco Treat. From the immensely different districts to the various dining options San Francisco has to offer, you might get lost trying to figure out just what to do next. It was my first time visiting Frisco and I quickly learned that no matter where you are, when there are sights to see, time is your enemy. Quickly mapping our getaway we visited the most distinguished places of interest and took the recommendations of fellow San Franciscans on where to go next. Dining was predetermined, as it was one of our priorities to visit the suggested eateries. As a photographer, I am always searching for different perspectives to capture a memory. This way, my photos are vastly different than anything I have taken before. I love to shoot angles and in odd positions that many believe to be unnecessary. An example of this was when I was shooting the St. Peter's and Paul Church in Washington Square. Getting down on my knees and leaning in-between two tightly parked cars was not mandatory when it came to getting a shot of the cathedral, but it was the extra effort that made the photo and memory special. All-in-all, San Francisco stays true to its distinct character, flavor, and beauty. As a city, San Francisco serves as a treat for all sightseers and visitors alike while providing a cozy environment for those that call this renowned city home.
Wedding season is in full swing, and what better way to get a taste of the glitz and glamor then to have the opportunity to have shot the I Do! Bridal Event by Fancy That! Events, at the Langham Huntington in Pasadena, California. It was a day similar to kindergarten show-and-tell, as the exuberant vendors showcased their artistry. It was vital to capture the detail that had gone into making each vendor's booth extravagant and individually special. The finesse transcended from the beautiful wedding gowns to the tiered wedding cakes. The Floral's bloomed vibrantly as guests filled the ballroom. Soon enough the fashion show was underway as the gorgeous Lovella Bridal models strutted down the runway with their Spray LA glow, showcasing the magnificent wedding gowns, garters, veil's, and more. Such dedication and compassion was exuded by all the vendors that day as It was a true pleasure to be part of such a spectacular event.
For more photos of the event, please visit the Bridal Events Section on the Photography Page.
Far too often are photographers asked questions regarding how the photo was taken, what camera or lens was used, and so forth. What I have come to notice is that although the camera and lens play a large role in how the photo looks, it is in essence the "why?" factor we disregard or fail to ask. What I mean by the "why?" factor is the question, "Why was the image taken this way?", "Why did we want to evoke a certain emotion?", "Why, oh why?" The key to truly discovering the art behind a photo is asking a photographer "why?" Many will say, it's because of the vision they were trying to portray or due to the availability of resources they had. Whatever the case may be, the answer is never "Because the client wanted it that way." If it is, then all the photographer has provided is his/her photo taking capabilities and the clients requests to take some photos on a scheduled day, end of story. This rarely happens in the industry when employing a photographer with experience and a natural talent for producing impeccable photos. A client hires a photographer due to the appeal of the photographers past photo's and artistry. A photographers duty to the client is to put the same love, care, and commitment into producing an image that sets it apart from those that preceded it. "Why" enables us to understand the what, how, where, and when a photo was taken, as it answers the fundamental reasoning behind the photos inception. All-in-all, whether the photo is of a Grilled Cheese Sandwich or the Acropolis, it's usually the little things, the "why" that counts.
As my very first photo blog, I find it appropriate to discuss how my curiosity in photography developed into a hobby and how my hobby developed into a business. I was always amused at what my father was looking at when he looked through the lens of his now vintage Nikon. Soon, I was old enough to have some hands on experience. Needless to say I thought to myself that what he was looking at was nothing extraordinary. It was simply what was on the other side of the lens. It was only until my late teens that I understood how a simple image that is captured through the lens can be manipulated to inspire sentiments. This led me to further my knowledge in photography and videography and develop a hobby, or as many refer to it, a passion for film and photography. After many shoots, travels, and Instagram postings it was fitting that I start a production company that would tell a different story, one that is vastly different from when I first looked inside the lens of my father's Nikon.

Presence and the anywhere office in a UC strategy
With virtual workplaces and anywhere offices becoming more common, presence has become increasingly important as part of a unified communications (UC) strategy. Find out how presence benefits the distributed workplace, including teleworkers, road warriors and more.
You've probably noticed it, but we live in an increasingly virtual world. Over 90% of organizations today consider themselves "virtual workplaces" -- meaning that they deploy tools and technologies to enable employees to collaborate across distributed geographies.
Presence in the anywhere office
If you're in Dallas, your manager is in Denver, and your teammates are in Detroit, you're a virtual worker, and this has become increasingly common. In fact, we're reaching the point where it makes sense to refer to the "anywhere office" -- employees are increasingly able to work from anywhere, even outside the confines of traditional offices. Nemertes recognizes seven distinct categories of anywhere office workers.
These include:
- Teleworkers (those that work from home either part time or full time).
- Small offices (those with fewer than 10 employees).
- Branch offices (roughly 10 to 50 employees).
- New office launches (offices that have been opened in remote geographies in advance of the availability of traditional voice and data services).
- Road warriors (employees who work largely from hotels and other public sites).
- Customer site workers (employees such as consultants who primarily work for long stretches of time from other companies' networks).
- Field force workers (employees whose primary connectivity for both voice and data is wireless).
These employees have more in common than the lack of traditional office space. Many have nontraditional or unconventional "desktops" (working primarily from wireless devices, for example). And they also tend to be increasingly isolated, making it critical to supply these employees with the information and communication they need to function effectively.
Presence in unified communications
Most companies are turning to some flavor of unified communications (UC) to address the needs of this increasingly distributed workforce (please see Figure 1: UC adoption 2007-2011). Unified communications is an umbrella term that covers a whole host of technologies, including instant messaging, unified messaging, conferencing and, of course, presence (please see Figure 2: Unified communications framework).
Presence is one of the key technologies that enable these far-flung workers to feel (and be) connected to the rest of the organization. With presence, employees can quickly locate resources and colleagues, get questions answered, and respond to client requests. But enabling presence for the distributed workforce isn't quite the same as doing so for its deskbound counterparts.
For distributed workers, one of the most critical elements is integrating mobility into the presence architecture. Yet this is an area in which vendors have made woefully slow progress. The operating assumption behind most presence engines (particularly those from messaging providers such as Microsoft and Lotus) is that most users have a "desktop." This is a huge mistake.
In fact, we're at the beginning of a trend that's going to fundamentally reshape the concepts of desktop and mobile computing: the distinction between a "smartphone" and a "mobile-enabled computer" is rapidly blurring, to the point where in a few years it will be meaningless. (Already, today, a VoIP-enabled netbook is simply a smartphone, and a BlackBerry or iPhone with application support is essentially a netbook.)
But the fault isn't entirely that of messaging vendors. Wireless and mobility providers are also falling behind -- they're not offering off-the-shelf integration for their devices into enterprise presence solutions.
For example, the mobile telephony provider's answer to instant messaging is SMS -- which is essentially messaging without the presence capability. (Mobile texting provides no indication of whether the intended recipient is reachable or not.) The fact that SMS isn't presence-enabled is a top indicator that mobile providers don't understand presence.
UC strategy: Presence for the anywhere office
What's an enterprise IT architect to do? In the absence of a solution that integrates mobile devices seamlessly into a presence engine, a few steps are nonetheless worth taking:
- Plan for mobile integration. Perhaps the most important thing to do is recognize that even though the vendors don't yet understand it, mobile presence is coming. Make support for instant messaging clients standard for all mobile devices and smartphones, and encourage users to run IM instead of SMS (you'll save money, too).
- Assess the offerings of VoIP and UC vendors. It's all too easy to fall for the claims of messaging vendors (IBM and Microsoft). But historically, these companies have underestimated the complexity of integrating real-time communications (aka voice) into their systems. VoIP vendors (Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, Siemens, Mitel, ShoreTel) are paying more attention to wireless integration as well (with solutions like find-me-follow-me).
- Last, but not least, consider mobile support across the board as you assess UC solutions, including presence. As presence matures, it will be the linchpin for enabling, for example, mobile video conferences. Already, it's technically possible to conduct video conferences from a Wi-Fi-equipped laptop on an airplane in flight. Make sure that both technologies and policies are keeping up. (Do you really want to be airing the company's dirty laundry with the other 300 passengers on flight 857?)

I love all of the fun linky parties in the summer! I'm starting my second week of summer break and am finally feeling well enough to be outside and enjoy it! I had to miss the last day of school due to my stupid mono so I finally went to school today to clean everything up. I had all sorts of goodies left on my desk from my students! I was so sad though to see flowers that a student had left completely dead :(. Someone also left me a gift certificate for a mani/pedi! How cool is that! Unfortunately, I have no idea who it is from!
Anyways, I am linking up today with The Teaching Tribune for their Monday Meet Me link up!

ecently Whovians have seen plastered across the tabloids that the new companion to our "FIRST" Female Doctor may be Bradley Walsh. The BBC has neither confirmed nor denied this rumour. It has been a few days and we have yet to receive confirmation on whoever will be accompanying the Doctor on her new travels.
According to the Daily Mirror; Walsh aged 57, which makes him older than the actor portraying the Doctor, is said to be excited to be joining the cast of Doctor Who. This, however, means that he'll have to be stepping down from the game shows he's involved in for ITV. Upon being questioned, the BBC declined to offer a passing comment on the said rumour. So there could be in some way an element of truth. This won't be Walsh's first involvement in the universe of Who as he was last seen in a two-part episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures where he portrayed the child-snatching alien who we recorded in history as the Pied Piper.
Like Whittaker, he too has worked with new head-writer Chris Chibnall, so it could possibly mean for his first series Chibnall is choosing actors that he feels comfortable with and well suited for the job. However, with the amounts of leaks and rumours proving to be true I can see Bradley Walsh having a rather large role in the upcoming series. Whether it'll be as the companion or a family member of the companion. Who knows? Time will tell. But I don't know how I feel about the news of Walsh being the new companion. Don't get me wrong he's a great actor and I certainly like him in Law and Order: UK. I just think that he's a bit too old for the role of the companion as Jodie Whittaker is currently 35.
Many fans have taken to social media to either praise or express their sheer disapproval of the announcement.
One fan Twitter wrote:
"Bradley Walsh could be anything. The report says he's excited for a long term Who role. He could be the fecking Monk for all they know."
Whilst another joked:
"If Bradley Walsh is the new companion in #DoctorWho he better say "the chase is on" in every single episode"
Fellow Doctor Who actor Matt Lucas tweeted his approval of the announcement with the hashtag #TeamBradley.

"Sleep, eat and go shopping", is what actress Aishwarya Lekshmi does when she's free for she considers these three things makes her prettier and energetic. The actress, whose latest film 'Vijay Superum Pournamiyum' has received positive reviews to add to the success of 'Mayaanadhi' and 'Varathan', credits sheer luck for reaching till this point in her acting career.
"I am quite a lazy person," she laughs away.
A photoshoot changed Aishwarya's life forever and since then there has been no looking back for the doctor-turned actress. "During my MBBS second year, a friend of mine who was obsessed with photography asked me to pose for a few pics. It was during that time that Vanitha magazine needed a model for their saree fashion page and my friend sent those photos and surprisingly all four of the pics which he had sent appeared in it," she said.
Whatever Aishwarya does, she does it with elan and states confidence is what matters most. "See, you dress up when you are confident. I think be it any outfit, the confidence with which you carry is the fact behind it," she said.
Aishwarya, who looked gorgeous in 'Varathan' and 'Vijay Superum Pournamiyum', credits everything to costume designer Stephy Zaviour for making it appealing to the audience gelling it well with the movie setting.
"White is my favourite colour and I would pick casuals as handy. The outfits which I choose depend on the occasions." Striped, floral or plain coloured is how she's usually spotted in movies and even for film promotions.
In her latest photoshoot, Aishwarya turned heads in a cream kaftan-styled kurta with palazzo pants. In another, she flaunted a simple floral-type dress keeping minimal accessories.
Isn't Aishwarya a real inspiration for fashionistas?
