Quickly and easy calculate your optimal daily intake with our protein intake calculator.
Nutrition sure can seem complicated. You already had to worry about getting enough protein in your diet, should you now make sure you only get quality proteins?
And what makes a "quality protein" anyway?
Different scales have been developed to answer this last question. They rate and rank proteins based on two criteria: bioavailability and amino acid profile.
1. Bioavailability
Biological Value (BV), Net Protein Utilisation (NPU), and Nitrogen Balance (NB) rate proteins based on nitrogen measurements. They measure how much nitrogen people excreted, calculate how much protein that represents, and compare this number to how much protein was ingested. In such a way, they determine the protein's bioavailability.
All three scales are based on two assumptions, both of which have been challenged: first, that dietary protein is the body's sole source of nitrogen; second, that all nonexcreted protein has been used to make bodily proteins. In truth, some of the protein we ingest can be converted to glucose, especially if the protein's digestion is fast and the body's glycogen stores are low, and some can be fermented by our microbiota,[1] especially if the protein's digestion is slow.
The BV scale is still in use today, though mostly in promotional material and in the media, and so it needed mentioning despite being outdated. The current official scale, used notably by the FDA, is the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS), which takes into account not just the bioavailability of a protein but also its amino acid profile.
A protein is considered highly bioavailable if it's easy to digest, absorb, and (after conversion into its constituent amino acids) make into other proteins. Some protein rating scales, such as the BV scale, rank proteins based solely on bioavailability.
2. Amino acid profile
Proteins are composed of amino acids, some of which your body can synthesize and others not. The ones you need yet cannot synthesize, and thus need to ingest, are called essential amino acids (EAAs). Among those, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are crucial to your muscles,[2] with leucine being especially anabolic.
A protein is called complete when, proportionally to its overall amino-acid content, it has enough of each EAA (as shown in the "mg/g of protein" column in the above table). The main advantage of animal proteins is that most are complete.
Most, but not all. Take beef protein powders: you might assume they're made from meat, which is to say from the animal's muscles, when most are actually made from collagen boiled from the animal's skin, bones, and other connective tissues. Now, dietary collagen is far from useless; it's been shown to promote skin and joint health, and it probably promotes bone health too; but it isn't a complete protein.[3] Rich in glycine and proline but poor in BCAAs, it isn't a good primary source of protein, and is probably not the best muscle builder (though it has shown benefit in elderly women on a low-protein diet[4] and in elderly men[5]).
Conversely, most plant proteins are incomplete, but according to the table above, the proteins in soy, pea, and rice are nearly complete: rice is relatively poor in lysine; soy and pea, in methionine. Of course, incomplete proteins can complement one another — this is true of proteins from foods as well as from supplements. The amino acid profile of a 70:30 pea:rice protein blend is similar to that of whey.
Alas, soy and pea protein powders are usually very high in salt. Salt is used in the process that makes soy and pea protein powders, and it cannot all be washed away. Check the label of your soy or pea protein powder to ensure you don't end up exceeding your tolerable upper intake of salt (sodium) for the day: 2.3 g for most adults.
Although pea and rice are gaining in popularity, alone and in combination, soy is still the most popular vegan source of protein powder. On the PDCAAS scale,[6] soy protein isolates score between 0.9 and 1.0, so at first glance they appear to be the virtual equals of any animal protein. However, this is because the PDCAAS scale truncates any number superior to 1. Otherwise, whey protein isolate could score a more-than-perfect 1.12.
A dietary protein is considered complete if it contains enough of each of the amino acids your body needs yet cannot synthesize. Some protein rating scales, such as the PDCAAS scale, rank proteins based not just on bioavailability but also on amino acid profile.

Whey protein is far more complex than you'd think - supplement companies are always trying to pull a fast one over you with legal loopholes and proprietary blends.
Our Definitive Guide to Whey Protein breaks down everything you need to know about whey protein so you can buy the best whey protein for you.
3. The real world
The PDCAAS scale has displaced the BV scale, not because it is more accurate, but because it is more pertinent: it rates protein not only based on bioavailability but also on amino acid profile, so as to better reflect human needs. Better, but not perfectly, which is why the Food and Agriculture Organization has already proposed to replace it with yet another scale: the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS).
The two scales differ notably by where the sample is taken. To determine the PDCAAS of a protein, you analyze the feces. To determine the DIAAS of a protein, you analyze the content of the ileum. In other words, PDCAAS looks at how much protein was absorbed after it has gone through your small and large intestines, whereas DIAAS looks at how much protein was absorbed after it has left the small intestine.
The food you ingest passes through your small intestine before passing through your large intestine, where most of your gut's microbiome (the bacteria inhabiting your gut) can be found. Since this microbiome can use amino acids and peptides that you yourselves never absorbed, PDCAAS may overestimate a protein's bioavailability.[7] DIAAS overcomes this issue.
The DIAAS scale, however, doesn't address the main problem of all protein rating scales, which is that, even when they take into account bioavailability, amino acid profile, and ileal digestibility, and even if they took into account gluconeogenesis, digestion speed, and the effects of exercise on endogenous protein (i.e., muscles), they would still fail to reflect real life.
Trials need to eliminate confusing factors, so a subject is fed only one kind of protein, and that on an empty stomach. But when do you eat only one kind of protein over a whole day? And, except at breakfast maybe, when is your stomach really empty? Other food components, such as fiber and anti-nutrients (trypsin inhibitors, tannins, etc.), can all affect how much of your protein you absorb.
Rating each protein in isolation fails to reflect real life. You don't need each protein you ingest to be complete; in a balanced diet, incomplete proteins, rich and poor in different amino acids, can complement one another (especially when eaten at about the same time). But a protein's rating can be one of the criteria you consider when selecting a protein powder (alongside price, mixability, digestion speed, etc.).

Dubai Properties, a leading UAE-based real estate master developer and asset manager of renowned destinations across the emirate, has announced the release of additional units in the third edition of the Arabella Townhouses (Arabella 3).
Arabella 3 is situated near Al Salam Town Centre in Dubai that features a host of lifestyle amenities for wholesome community living including a choice of retail options, food and beverage outlets, community services, as well as healthcare, education and sports facilities.
Located within a 15-minute drive from the centre of Dubai and just over a 10-minute drive from Mall of the Emirates, the residential project is directly accessible from Emirates Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
Dubai Properties says, prompted by popular demand, it now offers buyers and investors another chance to own property in one of the most sought-after developments in the already established and preferred Mudon community in Dubailand.
Arabella 3 has continued to witness success following the launch of sale in April, after an equally enthusiastic market response to Arabella 1 and Arabella 2 that were unveiled in 2016, states the developer.
Highlighting the growing popularity of townhouses within the real estate sector, industry expert Core Savills attributed their increasing appeal to young families, millennials and first-time buyers to the luxurious open spaces they provided combined with all the conveniences of contemporary community living.
Masood Al Awar, the chief commercial officer at Dubai Properties, says: "The immense popularity of the Arabella development has prompted us to release further units into the market."
The Arabella townhouses, distinguished by their contemporary, stylish and spacious layouts consist of three- to five-bedroom units, making it ideal for families.

About two months ago, I bought Grad Pack for SPSS and AMOS separately from studentdiscount.com The names of program that I bought are following:
IBM Amos 22.0 Windows only- Requires SPSS Grad Pack Premium- 12 month license - can install on up to 2 computers
IBM SPSS Statistics Grad Pack 23.0 PREMIUM- 12 Month license - Windows or Mac DOWNLOAD - install on up to 2 computers
I didn't need to use Amos right away, so I've installed SPSS only for the past two months. Now I try to install AMOS too, but the authorization code that I received does not work.
I have received only one authorization code for the purchase of these two program, and expected it to work to install both. I have also exchange a lot of emails with a representative of Studentdiscount.com but the person does not understand this issue. I tried the new license codes that I received after sending an email to email@example.com, but that code didn't work either. Please help me to solve this issue.
Answer by Adri.P (11730) | Jan 09, 2017 at 06:21 AM
HI @astroo, Amos is a sperate product and needs a seperate authorization code to activate it. Please contact your software distributor again and request your 20-digit authorization code. Thanks, Adri

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have just gotten closer to assembling its team of female superheroes that will join Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in the upcoming Birds of Prey.
Earlier today, Variety reported that a source informed them that Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell have been approached to join Robbie in the comic-book spinoff. Mary Elizabeth Winstead would be playing Huntress and Jurnee Smollett-Bell would be portraying Black Canary.
Winstead's recently garnered some attention for her critically acclaimed performance in the FX series Fargo and Smollett-Bell is best known for her roles on television shows True Blood and Underground. Winstead has just finished wrapped Gemini Man, in which she stars opposite Will Smith, and Smollett-Bell recently landed a role in J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele's upcoming HBO series Lovecraft Country.
In the film, the team, which consists of Harley Quinn, Black Canary, Huntress, and Gotham police detective Renee Montoya, will take on crime lord Black Mask. The Birds of Prey iteration of Huntress describes her as a former mafia princess who turns into a vigilante after her family is killed in a mob hit. Black Canary is described as a good-natured and idealistic streetfighter.
Cathy Yan is directing the film, which is set to be released on Feb. 7, 2020.

Both Responsiblegreenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread
Hello, my question is: I had a house reposessed about 10 years ago, they chased me for the shortfall in 1997 where I have paid Ł30 a month every month without fail. As I admit I am responsible for this debt, I believe my ex-partner, who purchased the house with me, does not pay a penny and went as far as changing his name by deed poll to avoid detection. I feel this is very unfair. Is it true that If the lender catches up with one of the parties the other is then left alone. Please help.
-- Wendy Wilson (firstname.lastname@example.com), March 23, 2004
This is basically called "cherrypicking" - you are both jointly and individually (severally) liable for the debt if the property was in joint names - it is a fact of life that the creditor will go for the easiest option, and that, in this case is you. You have rolled over and paid them Ł30 a month - why should they bother with the other party when they are getting it all from you.
All you can do is try and get your ex-partner to repay some of the debt to you, or perhaps if you were to go bankrupt depending on your circumstances.
Unfortunately, with paying them, you have "started the clock" again so far as court proceedings are concerned, and if you stopped paying, they would no doubt summons you alone.

Valve Protection
Safety Products
Snap Cap
Safety and security are hallmarks of the products we produce. The Safety Snap Cap was designed for safety and valve access security. This design affords easy access to the valve handle without having to remove the protective cap and replacing the regulators each time access to the cylinder is needed. This cap provides safety and security for the valve with the regulator attached. Once the cap is mounted to the cylinder and the regulator is attached, unauthorized access to the valve handle can be achieved by locking the cap into position. For day to day usage of the cylinder, the lock is removed, and the cap is opened for access to the valve handle.
Construction Collar
The Construction Collar has been a staple of the construction industry for years. This economical proven design is used at construction sites around the world. The large openings provide the easy access to the valve and valve handle required by construction personnel while providing the safety necessary to protecting the valves from damage in the event of an accident.
Cylinder Cap
Non-Magnectic Cylinder Caps
The non-magnetic cylinder cap is used to protect the valve during transportation of the cylinder. These caps are manufactured for both oxygen and acetylene cylinders with fine or coarse threading.
Standard Cylinder Cap
The standard cylinder cap is used to protect the valve during transportation of the cylinder. These caps are manufactured for both oxygen and acetylene cylinders with fine or coarse threading.
Bayonet Cap
The Bayonet style cylinder cap was designed to accommodate oversize valves that would not or could not be protected by any standard size cylinder caps. The Bayonet cylinder cap is used in conjunction with an adapter ring that mates with the corresponding neck ring threads of the cylinder. The oversized thread of the Bayonet Cap provides the extra valve clearance and an increased measure of safety for the valve.
Valve Guards
Plastic Valve Guards
Plastic Valve Guard is designed to provide valve protection, open access and ease of cylinder handling. This type of guard is primarily used on cylinders weighing less than 110 lbs. The guard is available in two different thread sizes & 4 different plain bore sizes to match OEM cylinders or ACC adapter rings for cylinders without neck rings.
Steel Valve Guard
The VG001 valve guard was developed to allow easy access to the valve with the additional protection of a halo strap, which also permits the handler to roll the cylinder. This design is used by gas distributors as a permanent replacement to the standard cylinder cap. The large openings provide easy access to the valve and valve handle, while still maintaining a high level of protection for the valve from damage in the event of an accident.
Cage Style Guard
The Cage Style Valve Guard was made to provide protection and access to a combination valve/regulator. Once the valve guard has been mounted in position, access for filling and general operation of the valve/regulator can be achieved without ever removing the cage. The Cage style valve guard mounts to the standard 3-1/8 or 3-1/2 size threads (high and low pressure cylinders). The guard is also available in different thread sizes, overall heights and cage configurations.
Tulip Guard
The Tulip Guard is designed for permanent or fixed use on the cylinder. Once mounted onto the cylinder, this guard provides strength for valve protection while allowing accessibility to the valve.

Minecraft was created to a theme, like all games. The theme of Minecraft is based in a medieval era. The game suits it too, explaining it's many medieval ways of living. Tools, equipment, weapons, armor. Even the blocks and items are all themed to a medieval style. Even so, the way Minecraft works, with all it's blocks and mechanics is quite amazing. Almost anything can be created by a player if he/she put's the effort into it. One thing I find many people have struggled to achieve, is Modern themed Minecraft Maps and builds. However, the Modern City Map for Minecraft 1.7.10, 1.7.2 and 1.6.4 implements an amazing modern city, as the name states, into the game of Minecraft. The structures inside the Map have been developed very well, and I am impressed at the way these buildings have been developed. The buildings inside, such as homes and industrial structures look very modernized, and almost futuristic. I really enjoy the way the creator has laid out the map also, leading me to believe that the developer has clearly put a lot of time and effort into the piece of work.
The Modern City Map for Minecraft implements modernized structures and buildings into the game of Minecraft. I think the creator has done a very good job in doing this, especially when the game itself was designed to feel and look medieval. The map is not huge, but reasonably large. It would prove very nice for a singleplayer survival world, or perhaps something to enjoy with you and your friends.
Unfortunately, i'm one for themed medieval Maps. I never really look for a modernized map such as this; and usually go for grand and large role-play maps, or adventure map's. I wasn't so sure about the Modern City Map when I first looked at it, however when I actually tried it out I was quite shocked. The Map was easy to navigate, and each building was unique, and matched the modern theme that the creator had set it too. I really enjoyed it, and i'm sure others will too.

text: After my wife and I experienced 6 long months of offer after offer and rejection after rejection, we came to Brandon battered, broken and questioning if we would ever get the house we wanted. Brandon's approach was simple, yet confident. He did not promise us the world, he only listened to what we were looking for and drew upon his experience. During our first day of showings with him, he suggested we look at a home that was otherwise off our radar. It was perfect. We entered this offer on our 10th home with the battle scars still fresh from the previous rounds. He again made no promises, but had the knowledge and experience to guide us. It was the first time we felt as though we had the ability to have some control over the bidding process. His guidance led to our offer being accepted over several others. Throughout the inspection and escrow process Brandon was the driving force behind the transaction. He was able to refer us to some great contractors, advise us on the inevitable inspection issue and was always available for questions or to meet us at the home. Through the process of buying our first home, my wife and I learned many valuable lessons. The first of which is surrounding yourself with great AND knowledgeable people. Their reputations and experience will be your best asset. Brandon and his team were the key to our fortunes touring around.— Lennon & Rika M, Buyers in Pasadena

Rough ad spot cost of a 30 seconds commercial break graph after and during the super bowl game play, Good news to advertisers who are planning to make media ad campaign Super Bowl commercial break because the ad spot cost of airtime didn't increase with this projected bump in viewership.
Anheuser-Busch InBev, Audi, CarMax, Chevrolet, Coca-Cola, Doritos, Go Daddy, M&M's, T-Mobile, Volkswagen and more will get a chance to try and recoup some of their expenses by swaying consumers with pitches that range from creative to serious, humorous to sexy and some that are just plain silly.
These mega-corporations are generally the only ones with a marketing budget large enough to absorb such a massive expenditure on self-promotion, but the return on investment could pay dividends due to a level of exposure unable to be obtained anywhere else.
This year, the average cost of a 30-second commercial will be about $4 million, or $133,000 per second, about the same as last year.
Top Online CPM Site |Average CPM Rate | TribalFusion CPM Rate
Yes, $4 million is the average cost per ad, but the actual cost to an advertiser varies widely. The biggest advertisers — Coca Cola, Anheuser-Busch, General Motors, etc. — will pay far less than the reported average,
The primary reason: Big buyers command big discounts. They buy multiple ad "units" — 30- and 60-second spots — spread over the game. Anheuser-Busch, for example, will run three ads for Bud Light and two for Budweiser. It also has a multi-year contract to advertise during the game, further reducing its overall costs. The Super Bowl is the perfect vehicle to educate the American consumer" about the company's products.
Last year, the bet paid off. According to the Nielsen ratings service, the audience for the Ravens-49ers contest grew by 25 percent from its low point to its high point, peaking at nearly 115 million viewers late in the second half of what turned out to be a dramatic game.
Top American Companies Buying Ad slot in 30 seconds,
- Anheuser-Busch InBev – The brewer's crucial and expensive Super Bowl plans this year added up to three ads for Bud Light two for Budweiser.
- Audi of America (Volkswagen) – 60-second Super Bowl commercial in the first ad break after the third quarter
- Axe (Unilever) – Axe released a 60-second version of its planned Super Bowl commercial well before game day.
- Bank of America – 60-second commercial between the first and second quarter.
- Butterfinger (Nestle)- One thirty-second spot in the second half to promote the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups
- Carmax – One 30-second commercial in the second quarter of the game
- Cheerios (General Mills)- One commercial in the first unscheduled time-out of the game
- Chevrolet (General Motors)- Two 60-second ads, both in the first quarter.
- Chobani – One 60-second ad, Chobani's first in the Super Bowl, will run in the third quarter
- Chrysler (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles)- One two-minute ad
- Coca-Cola – Two 60-second ads, one in the second quarter and one in the second half
- Doritos (PepsiCo's Frito-Lay) – Two 30-second spots chosen through the "Crash the Super Bowl" contest.
- GoDaddy – Two 30-second ads, one in each half
- H&M – One 30-second spot during the second quarter
- H.J. Heinz Co. – One 30-second spot, only the second Super Bowl ad in the brand's history
- Honda – One ad late enough in the game that its opening line
- Hyundai Motor America – Two commercials during the 2014 game.
- Intuit and GoldieBlox – One 30-second spot in the third quarter of the Super Bowl

These mega-corporations are generally the only ones with a marketing budget large enough to absorb such a massive expenditure on self-promotion, but the return on investment could pay dividends due to a level of exposure unable to be obtained anywhere else.
As the graph indicates, only 70 percent of brands will even be remembered by viewers after the game and the numbers get worse from there.
How do you start?
First you need to read The rules of the Super Bowl advertising game,
The rules of the Super Bowl ad game have evolved over XLVIII years and are evolving still in the age of social media. Here are a few of the basics:
Rule No. 1:
No one pays the sticker price,
The Super Bowl advertising marketplace is like a Turkish souk: Everyone haggles.
Yes, $4 million is the average cost per ad, but the actual cost to an advertiser varies widely. The biggest advertisers — Coca Cola, Anheuser-Busch, General Motors, etc. — will pay far less than the reported average, says Marc Morse, senior vice president of media-buying agency RJ Palmer in New York.
The primary reason: Big buyers command big discounts. They buy multiple ad "units" — 30- and 60-second spots — spread over the game. Anheuser-Busch, for example, will run three ads for Bud Light and two for Budweiser. It also has a multi-year contract to advertise during the game, further reducing its overall costs.
No such luck for one-off advertisers, such as SodaStream, which markets do-it-yourself soda-making machines (and lately has been involved in a controversy over its decision to build a factory in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank). The company, whose ad stars Scarlett Johansson, paid top dollar for its single, 30-second unit, though the company's president, Yonah Lloyd, declined to specify his cost. "For us, the Super Bowl is the perfect vehicle to educate the American consumer" about the company's products, he said in an interview.
What goes into a successful Super Bowl commercial? We talked to Timothy Calkins, Clinical Professor of Marketing at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, about the key advertising plays that score big during the Super Bowl. (Kate Musselwhite Tobey/The Washington Post)
And deals involving Super Bowl ads usually involve more than Super Bowl ads. Time during the big game is often sold as part of a package that includes commercials during other programs or on channels owned by the Super Bowl's broadcaster.
"The networks try to get you to buy other things," Morse said. "CBS [last year] said, 'If you want the Super Bowl, you have to [buy] March Madness. This year it was, 'If you want the Super Bowl, be prepared for an equal spend on Fox [Sports] 1,' " a Fox-owned cable network.
Rule No. 2:
Buy early, save later,
Spending millions on a Super Bowl ad isn't all that different than spending a few hundred on a plane ticket or hotel room. The sooner you buy, the lower the price is likely to be.
Many advertisers buy at the "upfronts," the annual meetings between network sellers and advertising buyers, held in June. As a result, much of Fox's "inventory" of Super Bowl time was spoken for by last summer. (Fox declined to comment for this article.)
As long as there's demand, prices for whatever is left tend to rise as the game gets closer. But on occasion, it pays to be patient. When Detroit's slumping automakers passed up the game during the worst years of the recession, last-minute advertisers snapped up unsold spots at bargain prices.
Rule No. 3:
First in, last out,
Advertisers pay extra to air commercials in the first and last positions in a "pod," or cluster of commercials. These are considered the most-watched and the most memorable positions.
Basic inertia explains why it's good to be first: People haven't jumped off the couch yet as the game stops for the commercial break. Anticipation explains why the last spot is primo: People are rushing back to their seats as the game gets set to resume.
Rule No. 4:
Buy early in the game, too,
Advertisers tend to clamor to show ads in the first half of the game and usually in the first quarter. The reason? It's when the audience is most stable, most predictable and most attentive to the advertising.
"It's the safest place to be," says Jennifer Clayton, the manager of advertising planning and buying for Herndon, Va.-based Volkswagen of America, which is airing a humorous one-minute ad in the second quarter (in the first "pod" position of the second ad break) Sunday. "The game hasn't been determined, and there's a lot of hype about what the brands are doing. People focus on that."
Which is why advertisers pay premium prices for ads shown during the first half.
Second-half advertisers, meanwhile, not only risk losing droves of viewers to a bum game, they also have to fight viewer fatigue.
"A lot of people are watching the game at parties. They've been there for hours, and they're getting tired," says San Diego State's Belch. "By the third or fourth quarter, the same enthusiasm is just not there. So you're rolling the dice a little bit" by placing an ad during this part of the game.
Last year, the bet paid off. According to the Nielsen ratings service, the audience for the Ravens-49ers contest grew by 25 percent from its low point to its high point, peaking at nearly 115 million viewers late in the second half of what turned out to be a dramatic game.
Although that result delighted fourth-quarter advertisers — Big audience! Low price! — it was a fortuitous result, Morse said. "You can look like a genius [under those circumstances], but you can't really plan it," he said. "If we could, we'd be running the world."
Rule No. 5:
You need ads for your ads.
A Super Bowl commercial is just the start of an advertiser's advertising . . . about its Super Bowl advertising.
The commercial is just the middle. Thanks to social media, companies engage in a buildup about their ads before the game, and most follow up afterward, too.
Volkswagen says it was the first advertiser to release its Super Bowl ad online before the game in 2011 (for a charming spot called "The Force"). It also says it was the first to release a teaser ad, called "The Bark Side," for its Super Bowl commercial in 2012. The effort propelled its commercials to viral status.
(Well, technically, Apple may have been the first advertiser to "pre-release" its legendary "1984" Super Bowl ad 30 years ago by quietly airing it a few times in places such as Twin Falls, Idaho, in late 1983; it did so to qualify the commercial for advertising awards.)
Now, pre-release promotion is common. Many advertisers have released teasers on YouTube, Facebook and other platforms. And many advertisers release the ads themselves days before the game, seemingly undercutting their big-game "reveal."
The idea, of course, is to create buzz before the buzz starts.
SodaStream's Johansson commercial, released this week, led to calls for a boycott of the Israeli-based company; a Cheerios commercial featuring a biracial family also got media attention after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus objected to MSNBC's characterization of it in a tweet. (MSNBC tweeted, "Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww," but then withdrew it and apologized.)
This year, Volkswagen promoted its Super Bowl commercial with a teaser ad making fun of Super Bowl ads. It will also run mobile ads mentioning its Super Bowl ad after the game in an effort to capture residual interest, according to Clayton.
But there's a limit to how much anyone can keep hyping the hype; search-engine queries for Super Bowl ads contact start to fall quickly about 48 hours after the game ends, she said.

Everyone can agree that corgis are some of the world's most delightful creatures. With their short little legs and furry little butts and big eyes, they truly resemble babies in constant need of love, care, and protection.
Which is perhaps why this video of a corgi, who is terrified of absolutely everything (including but not limited to a bottle of Febreze, a roll of paper towels, and a jar of mayonnaise), has captured the Internet's imagination. You just want to pick up the little fella and curl him up in your arms and tell him everything is going to be OK.
The video was posted by Facebook user Cody Viselli on September 9 and has been viewed over 11 million times since then, and it deserves every single hit.

Well Rolling Stone Magazine decided that this year's "Hot MC" is Chance The Rapper. The 20-yearold Chicago rapper has been making some serious noise in the industry. Rolling Stone interviewed Chance and talked about a wide range of things such as his Acid Rap project, The increasing fame, working with Lil Wayne on D5 and more. Check out a few of the questions and answers below.
Does it feel like an eternity since Acid Rap?
It feels way shorter. Every day is a workday. It's hard to explain. When you're working on shit every day and it comes back full circle three months later, it doesn't hit you the same way. 'Cause it's something I knew I was working on.
Can you gauge your increasing fame?
Definitely. I do recognize it all the time. But it's not like . . . I don't necessarily feed into the whole newfound-fame type shit, or feeling like a different person. If anything, it makes me realize how fleeting and unreal it all is. It's all just about perspective. I just feel like it's not real. It's real, but only in the way it affects those around you. Fame or perceived success – it all comes from groupthink.

Expert care for your hand & wrist.
Hand surgeons provide comprehensive care for problems of the hand, wrist, & fingers. Fellowship trained orthopedic hand surgeon- Dr. Ramsey Ellis offers surgical and non-surgical treatments for problems from the elbow to the fingertips.
Bone & Joint Specialists
Dr. Ramsey Ellis is the hand surgeon at Bone & Joint Specialists: a comprehensive orthopedic clinic with locations in Evergreen Park and Oak Lawn. Our team works hard to deliver the best non-surgical and surgical care for orthopedic conditions.
Excellent surgeon. My scar (I had 2 surgeries, same location) is a work of art. She is straight to the point and all business but actually quite sympathetic, kind and funny when chatting w/ her. I went to a different doctor (in between surgery 1 and 2) based on a referral and was unimpressed with that ortho doctor....went back to Dr. Ellis. Only regret is going to see the other guy who has caused me a lot of pain.
Dr. Ellis and her staff accommodated my need for an emergency appointment. Dr. Ellis provided excellent care and my full recovery is ahead of the normally expected schedule. Her staff was always welcoming, professional and efficient.
"Dr. Ellis is a very down to earth person. She was easy to talk to and she got right to the point. I would recommend her very highly!"

Summer is here with its invitation to come outdoors, to be in God's healing and restorative nature. Childhood memories of picnics at state parks or simple days at the beach remind me what summer can be if I so choose. In this season of natural sensory abundance, natural drawing out-of-doors, I sense the Lord asking his people to "recline," that is, to place themselves in a posture of mind, body and spirit open to the gifts, graces, and abundant life he wishes to give.
The Command of Christ to Recline
Have the people recline. If we never recline and receive, we can never get up and follow Him. The Lord invites us to cultivate receptivity, not to strive, to go out and to get, but to recline, trust and receive. Everything in the world and culture teaches us how to acquire what we want, what we think we need. In John 6, however, the Lord tells us to recline so that he can give us what we truly need and abundantly:
When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?"
…"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?"
Jesus said, "Have the people recline."
Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted."
John 6:5, 9-11
Is the Lord sowing slothfulness or entitlement? On the contrary, he himself is serving his people and showing them the way to get their true needs met. In turn, he knows that his people will naturally serve out of their healed and filled hearts. By leading us to our true entitlement of love, grace, and life in him, Jesus offers us freedom from grasping after all other false entitlements that fail to satisfy.
But first we must recline.
Summertime and the Living Is…Busy?
This summer are we merely switching gears to a different fast gear or are we getting off of that school bus altogether? This is the time to switch to "neutral" and let God create our agendas and fill in our calendars with such weighty items as these: be present to each other, be at home, be out-of-doors, be disconnected from technology, offer and receive simple hospitality.
Recently I was praying about activities for our children for the summer: how to get them engaged in service, or jobs, or things that will "keep them out of trouble" and even "build their transcripts."
Many options appeared as possibilities, but upon pursuit, they would fall through. Taking this to prayer I interiorly heard a gentle rebuke. Instead of getting off of the school bus and getting on the summer bus the Lord directed me, as wife, mother and heart of the family to enter into the season. Summer is here and it is offered as a time of reorientation toward family, home and nature. It is time to get out-of-doors and into creation so that God can re-create us. Summer is a kind of extended Sabbath rest, a mini jubilee! Trust, enter in, and recline.
Visit Aunt Rosie!
Because of the constant duties of the school year there are many good things that get forced to the back shelf. That book on your bedside table? Read it! That subject you need to broach with your child? Broach it! That aunt you've been meaning to visit so that your children will get to know her before it's too late? Visit her!
Do these things in a relaxed manner. Do not attach "have-to's" to them. Oh, I have to get the study guide for that book and take notes. Oh, I need to research this issue further before I speak to my child about it. Oh, I have to bake something and pick up some flowers to take to Aunt Rosie. No! Stop! Just enter in and recline at the banquet the Lord has prepared! Summer is with us such a short time; our children are with us such a short time. Too often I put off doing things because I cannot do them as I believe others would do them, or as well as I "should." So what? I am not others. I am extremely imperfect and often slap-dashed me. Actually to say that I am imperfect is laughable. I strive for imperfection, but it is very far beyond me! By trusting that the Lord loves me as I am and by just getting on with his abundant life, I recline and receive the best portion, re-creation and restoration, through the simple plans he inspires in me for our summer.
It was such a relief to receive this gentle rebuke and redirection from Jesus through prayer! He also reminded me that in the summer, as always, prayer is our anchor. Without it we can drift through summer and not receive the graces he intends us and our families to receive. Now I am no mystic or visionary, but I am a woman who prays. One aspect of prayer is simply conversation with God. In this conversation I interiorly heard this gentle redirection from my task-oriented summer plans:
Do not get busy. I will direct your days with the children. Do not explain or defend yourself, your family or your plans to anyone. Simply do My will in each day and all will be well. You already know that My will is your family's sanctification, so do the things that aide this end: prayer, quiet, Mass, Confession, being outdoors, serving one another, being present to whomever I put in your life. I love you. Selah.
His yoke and burden are always lighter than the ones I try to strap on. He knows my frame, how weak I am, how prone to the world's suggestions. But in his mercy he reorients me again and again to home, to nature, to family, to relationship, to trust, to recline and to receive his abundant life.
Tethered Together
One of God's greatest gifts to us is friendship, but the busyness of life often steals that gift away. In wee ways my friends and I have stayed in touch through texting inspirational readings, passing along books, the occasional blessed lunch together, but most of all through prayer. Through that prayer we do not drift apart, but are tethered together spiritually. One fruit of this is the way Jesus imparts the same or similar messages across our hearts. With her permission I share one of my dear sister-in-Christ's words of encouragement to a group of us recently:
There has been something that keeps coming to my heart and I wanted to share it with you. Maybe this message is just for me or maybe some of you have been feeling the tug to scale back and focus more on your family this past year. My heart keeps tugging me in the direction that this summer is to be one of The Family, just being together, scaling back on activities and electronics and learning to love those in our homes and those in our days, as Matthew Kelly says, "Carefree Timelessness." Take walks, play games, have friends over for BBQ's and just be together. No matter what we do over this summer, let us fill it with love in all that we do.
This dear sister-in-Christ is an absolute font of good Catholic resources. I have read some Matthew Kelly but was unfamiliar with his idea of "Carefree Timelessness." In his book, "The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose," Kelly writes:
Most of us know that the happiest people on the planet are those who are focused on their personal relationships. Relationships thrive under one condition: carefree timelessness. Do we gift our relationships with carefree timelessness?…We have to make carefree timelessness a priority. The nature of carefree timelessness is to be timeless. You lose track of time. Carefree timelessness is carefree. It has nothing to achieve other than the enjoyment of each other's company. Teenagers are experts at this. How often do parents ask their teenagers when they are going out with friends, "Where are you going?" The children reply, "I don't know!" Of course, we may consider this an unacceptable answer, but it may well be the truth. Carefree timelessness. It is the reason young people fall in love so easily. The lack of carefree timelessness is the reason the rest of us fall out of love so easily. Carefree timelessness cause us to fall in love with life and others.
What a perfect concept to try to restore in our lives during summer! To me, Carefree Timelessness says to those I love, those whom God has placed in my life, "Nothing is more important than you." By adopting this mind frame, especially in summer, we allow ourselves to trust, recline and receive from our Lord, and in turn more fully love our families and all of those God puts in our path.
Recline to Restore
One of my favorite blesseds, Dolindo Ruotolo, an Italian priest contemporary of St. Pio, seemed to write about this restorative homefront work of the summer, as well as demonstrating the male, and also specifically, priestly job demonstrated in the above cited Gospel by the Apostles:
If you are a woman, what do you do? When God calls all souls back to life, He will call women to His apostolate, because He needs mothers. When He needs to feed the revived world, He calls upon men, because He needs fathers. He called upon Our Lady when the Church was born and promulgated; He sent the Apostles to nourish the reborn world. In His work of restoration Jesus chose women. First the world needed mothers, and then He will send priests to nourish it. Are you a woman? Then Jesus has chosen this for you. Poland, in its last battle against the Bolsheviks, won thanks to its women.
Are you a woman? Jesus has chosen you for the work of restoring the world! How can you do that this summer? Trust, recline, and receive! Are you a man? Jesus calls you to feed the revived world! How can you do that this summer? Be a father in whatever way the Lord gives you fatherhood. Most of all encourage this instinct in your wife or other women in your life to disengage from busyness and to trust, recline and receive! Together in our complementarity, we will restore Jesus' people who can then go out and restore the world.
Blessed Mother, help us to trust, recline and receive from your Son this summer so that we may go out and restore his world in the fall! Jesus, bless our men with openness to a fatherhood that feeds and revives the world, while protecting the sanctuary of the home! Blessed Dolindo, pray for us!

You're paying your Financial Advisor for their expertise in the financial market, and their advice will be beneficial when making difficult financial decisions. By helping you understand your finances, the advice you receive can provide excellent value via the peace of mind will can bring to you and your family in the long term.
As we work with financial advisors all over the country, there's no fixed pricing structure - individual advisors will set their own rates based on their specialisms and level of experience. All the expert advisors we work with are part of the Financial Advisor Network. They are monitored carefully to ensure that the prices they quote are realistic and reflect the value of the service you will be receiving. Fees will always be agreed in writing before you make a commitment to any product or service. There are a few different ways in which an advisor might set their fees:
Hourly rate
You pay for the amount of time you spend with the financial advisor – generally between £75 and £250 per hour, depending on factors such as the type of advice provided, the seniority of the adviser and their location.
Percentage fee
If you're looking for assistance in managing your investment portfolio, your financial advisor might charge based on a percentage of the sum being handled – usually at a rate of 0.5% - 5%, with the percentage often lower for larger amounts. For example, if you were to invest £100,000 at a fee of 1.5% you would pay your advisor £1,500.
Fixed charges:
Some services will be priced at a fixed fee: usually one off 'transactions' – such as consolidating your pension or making an investment. As with hourly fees, these charges will vary per advisor and will be quoted in advance of you making a purchase or commitment.
In some instances, your advisor may earn commission based on the products and services they recommend to you. Our expert advisors are required to be totally transparent about the amount of commission they may receive, and will work in your best interests to only recommend products that are suitable for you.
The best way to get a personally tailored quote from an advice professional is to discuss your financial needs in depth. We can arrange a free, no obligation consultation with a financial advisor in your area so you can set out your goals and priorities, get the answers to any questions you might have, and give your advisor the opportunity to explain how they can help: providing a detailed breakdown of any associated costs. The charges will depend on exactly what you are hoping to achieve and the resources the advisor will need to meet your objectives combined with their experience.

1856 Dodge Wall Map of New HampshireNewHampshire-dodge-1856
1856 Dodge Wall Map of New HampshireNewHampshire-dodge-1856
Scarce map of New Hampshire printed in Nashua to illustrate the state's railroad driven industrial boom.
1856 (dated) 36 x 26 in (91.44 x 66.04 cm) 1 : 380160
Jacob Richard Dodge (September 28, 1923 - c. 1890) was an American publisher, poet, and journalist. Born in New Boston, New Hampshire, Dodge learned the art of printing in the offices of the Amherst Cabinet, a local newspaper. After graduating from school he accepted a post as a schoolmaster in Mississippi, where he remained for five years, before returning to Nashua, New Hampshire. During this period in Nashua he published his only map, a railroad guide and wall map of New Hampshire. In 1855 he moved to Ohio, where he published the American Ruralist, a regional agricultural newspaper. In 1861 Dodge again relocated, this time to Washington D. C. There he took a position as Senate Reporter for the National Intelligencer. From 1866 to 1878 he worked as Statistician for the Department of Agriculture. In this role he was sent to Europe to represent United States agriculture at the 1873 Vienna Exhibition. Dodge continued to work in statistics with the U.S. Government until the 1880s. It is unclear when Dodge died.3

Following the exciting announcement that heavy metal legends JUDAS PRIEST will play their farewell festival performance as High Voltage headliners and metal heroes DREAM THEATER will be closing the weekend with their only 2011 U.K. festival performance, organizers have announced that joining them on the main stage is none other than heavy rock supergroup BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, featuring Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) on vocals and bass, Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN) on drums, Derek Sherinian (DREAM THEATER) on keyboards, and Joe Bonamassa (the blues-rock solo star) on guitar and vocals. The band released its debut album in 2010 and will not be performing at any other U.K. festival this year. They will be joined on the main stage by MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, led by the guitar hero who made his name in the 1970s with two iconic bands — Britain's UFO and Germany's SCORPIONS.
The legendary JETHRO TULL — led by charismatic singer and flute player Ian Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre — is set to headline the Prog Stage; this is a U.K. exclusive, TULL's only UK show of 2011.

This information is purely to allow a reader to identify or empathise with a child's coordination challenges they may want to know a little more about. It is not intended to replace a consultation with an appropriately qualified medical practitioner.
Part of our motivation as humans to be upright and to walk is found in the desire to gain access to things that are out of arms' reach. A child notes that people that walk can get closer to items out of that child's own reach. The child sees that as one walks over to an object, the object is positioned closer to the body.
The child also begins to understand that from far away, an object looks smaller while from close-up, the object looks larger. In short, a child gains with age and experience, an understanding of the proximity of items and people in relation to his own physical self. He gains mastery over his own movement as he grows in the understanding of his own personal space. He controls his limbs with ever greater precision.
A child with poor spatial awareness will likely be found to have difficulties with his visual perception. Such a child may be clumsy, often bumping into things. He may stand too far away from or too close to objects.
It may be difficult for such a child to master the act of writing which involves measuring the distance between pencil and paper and knowing how much pressure must be applied to make legible marks. A child with such perceptual difficulties may furthermore not be able to distinguish between right and left. By extension, the child will tend to have difficulties in gym and in playing games involving external apparatus (balls, bats, the goal).
As for subject matter, children with spatial awareness issues may find mathematics difficult. This is due to its abstract nature, when space, shapes, area and volume enter the picture. Children with spatial awareness issues will find it a trial to copy shapes, patterns, and sequences.
However, children with spatial awareness difficulties tend to have strong auditory memory skills. They may excel at music and do well at learning when taught using multisensory methods. Their verbal comprehension skills exceed those of their peers and they have excellent powers of both verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
Coordination is an ability that begins developing "on its own" as infants explore their bodies and their world. Coordination in children usually refers to whether they can get their arms and legs to work together effectively! Whether playing games, taking part in sport or doing schoolwork, coordination skills are a must.
Many tasks which require coordination also require a child to be able to plan well – being able to time their movements, predict what will happen if they do something and react to a situation (e.g a ball coming at them more slowly than expected). Balance, rhythm, spatial orientation and the ability to react to both auditory and visual stimuli have all been identified as elements of coordination.
Bilateral coordination is the ability to use both sides of the body together in a coordinated way, e.g both hands working together to push a rolling pin or pulling hand-over-hand up a rope. Children with poor bilateral coordination may struggle with gross motor games such as hopping, jumping, catching a ball or beating a drum with rhythm.
They may struggle with fine motor tasks such as tying shoelaces, threading beads and cutting with scissors, as these all require both hands to work together well – dexterity.
Hand-eye coordination is the ability of the eyes to guide the hands in movements, e.g catching a ball and being able to hit a ball with a bat, but many parents don't realise that good hand-eye coordination can also help a child's handwriting.
Balance is the ability to maintain control of a particular body position whilst performing a given task with minimal postural sway. This could be achieved simply by sitting at a table, standing on one leg or riding a bike. Good control reduces the energy required and minimises fatigue. To perform efficient movements across a host of activities and tasks, we need to be able to maintain control of body positioning during static and dynamic activities thus needing good static and dynamic balance.
Static balance is the ability to maintain control of a position whilst remaining stationary – for example, balancing on one leg or holding a headstand.
Dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance and control of the body whilst moving, such as hopping, jumping, riding a bike or snowboarding.
Although balance maturation is not generally achieved in children until the age of 12, by improving balance and sensory processing skills, children with healthy vestibular systems can excel and those with challenges or weaknesses can improve dramatically.
If your child is showing signs of lack of coordination, you should seek the advice of a doctor or other suitably qualified professional.

TMF meets Paloma Faith
Paloma Faith - soulful songstress, witty TV show panelist, eccentric dresser... Despite not having released an album for three years, she's all over our TVs and radios. Life is hectic for the Hackney vocalist, but today she's working from the comfort of her own bed. TMF caught up with Paloma between the sheets in the build up to the release of her sophomore record Fall To Grace
Hi Paloma, how are you today?
Good thanks, how are you?
Not bad, not bad. Where are you today?
I'm at home doing phoner after phoner after phoner.
Is it quite dull?
Well you know, I'd rather be at home in bed doing it than marching around London, so it's got its plus points!
Nothing dodgy but you're known for your quirky dress sense so I've got to ask, what are you wearing today?
I'm actually wearing my bra and knickers so it is a bit dodgy! [laughs]
So I've got the awkward inappropriate question out of the way. How was performing on Jools Holland last night?
It was good. It's always a bit nerve wracking, but in a good way. And I also had a bit of a steaming cold so I wasn't on my absolute best form because I'm ill. But yeah, I thought the line up last night was amazing, I enjoyed all the acts.
You haven't especially rushed to release your second album Fall to Grace. Is writing an organic process for you?
Yeah, I wrote solidly for a year and then took six months to find the producer and make the record so I wouldn't say that it was a relaxed thing. I haven't had a break; I was on tour for two years.
There's a deeper, more personal feel to the album. Do you find it harder to perform the songs?
Yeah, I do. I'm very close to them. When you write your first record you're kind of like writing for ages and then trying to get a record deal. So some of the songs on that album [2009's Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful?] were like five years old and I felt like I'd moved on from them, where as this record was all written in the last year so it's kind of still very recent.
Do you think the riots last summer in your hometown of Hackney had an influence on the darker tone?
I think 'Black & Blue' is probably quite influenced by that. I think that's the only song that references some element of that and sort of turning the symbolism of those riots into the bigger picture.
Let's talk about the video for lead single 'Picking Up The Pieces'. In it you melt. How was that effect achieved? Were you literally coated head to toe in wax?
I kind of got covered to a point and then I had a body double step in to finish it.
The single artwork was also interesting as you opted out of any photoshopping or editing. What was the reasoning behind this?
I think that the new record is more vulnerable and exposed; it was the first thing that people were going to see of that record so I just felt that I really needed to show myself. So my sort of imperfections and vulnerability... so yeah, I decided not to retouch it.
You always seem happy and enthusiastic when you're on the telly and radio. Do you ever have an off day? What's grumpy Paloma like?
Probably not that grumpy, but I can get snappy when I'm stressed! I try not to, I think negativity breeds negativity so I try to put lots of good vibes out.
So if an alien landed in London and asked you to show him around, where's the first place you'd take him?
Gelato Mio. It's an ice cream shop, there's one in Holland Park, there's one in Portobello...
And what flavour ice cream are you going to get?
Erm... Pistachio, hazelnut and peanut butter.
Not at the same time? (TMF is fussy when it comes to mixing ice cream flavours)
So, which is your favourite track from Fall To Grace'?
At the moment I'm loving 'Blood Sweat And Tears'. I think it's really fun to dance to.
Why should people go and buy it
Because it's the soundtrack of my life, so there's something on there for every single mood you have. So if you're feeling like you want to go out and be light, there's a song on there that does that, and if you feel like you wanna sit in your house, looking and the walls, thinking and reflecting quietly, then there's a song on there for that too.
Have you got a live favourite yet?
I don't know yet, I haven't done it yet. I've been rehearsing but I don't know.
What's in store for the Somerset House show in London this summer?
A spanking new band that are so amazing! Oh my god they're so good, they blow my socks off. I've got the same piano, bass and one of the backing vocalists but everything else has changed. Three people in my band have gone off to have solo careers, I'm very proud of them. Seye, Lianne La Havas and this girl called Jetta who was singing on the last Jakwob single. They're all like my little 'School of Paloma' graduates!
If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be?
I'd really like to work with Andre 3000.
So what's the plan for the rest of the year?
Sell my album like my life depends on it, and hopefully do some live shows in the process!
Fall To Grace is out now.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is the official report of a state which depicts the financial condition of that state.
The report is compiled annually and comprises the funds and component units of a state. It enlists the statement of revenues, expenditures and also the changes in fund balance.
Major Elements of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report:
There are two important elements of Comprehensive Annual Financial Report:
The balance sheet and
The cash flow statement of the state.
Balance sheets are made using assets, liabilities and fund balances.
Cash flows are of different types:
Cash flows from operating activities,|
Cash flows from non-capital financing activities,
Cash flows from capital and related financing activities, and
Cash flows from investing activities.
So, by taking all these things into consideration the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is computed and that's why the name suggests as comprehensive.
Interpretation of Comprehensive Annual Financial Report:
Satisfactory result can be computed by comparing current statistics with those of previous years, and with current reports from other cities as well. While comparing, certain things have to be taken into consideration such as whether the government of those cities are of same level or type or not and if the government categorize things in the same way or not etc.
By using trend data for these governments rather than depending upon the current-year data these comparisons can further be extended and so is the financial report.
Uses of Comprehensive Annual Financial Report:
Comprehensive Annual Financial report gives the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in retained earnings.
It provides the information about the governments fiscal conditions, e.g., the major revenue sources, outstanding debts etc, for the last 10 years of a state.

What is Cyber Insurance?
Cyber Insurance is a specific insurance policy meant to protect you from all sorts of cyber incidents, security breaches, network downtime, damage to your cyber assets and other such interruptions to your business.
When do you need Cyber Insurance?
Your company may be insured against fire, theft, earthquakes and even other Acts of God. If, however, the first virus attack or DoS (that's Denial of Service) attack is going to irreversibly affect your bottom line, then you need Cyber Insurance.
Another aspect of Cyber Insurance is Cyber Liability Insurance. This protects you from liability when you publish matter on the Internet. With even small businesses making their e-commerce presence felt on the Internet, businesses are exposed to several new kinds of legal liabilities. Cyber Insurance would also protect you from such liability claims.
Why do you need Cyber Insurance?
Your traditional insurance policy may protect your physical assets. So, if lightning strikes your office building and destroys some computers, you will probably be reimbursed for the computers. But that does nothing to mitigate your data loss. That is why you may need Cyber Insurance.
What do you need to consider while buying Cyber Insurance?
First, learn to treat cyber insurance like your traditional insurance. Understand your cyber assets and then look carefully at what your policy would cover. Do a self-check. Cyber Insurance policies will be given only if your current security measures meet certain criteria. So that should basically cover anti-virus, regular updates, firewalls, taking frequent and regular backups, no illegal downloads or pirated software etc. As you can see, these are things that you should be taking care of as it is.
What is the Indian Cyber Insurance scene like?
A recent report by Marsh India has found that 55% risk managers believed a cyber attack to be their largest concern. When they were asked what consequence of a cyber attack worried them most, 43% felt it was damage to their reputation, 30 % felt it was financial loss, 16% were worried by the prospect of legal liabilities, and 9% about regulatory action or loss of license.
Despite this, as per the report, only 21% had stand alone cyber insurance.
Moral of the story - take a good, long look at what you stand to lose in the event of a cyber attack. Then, insure to secure.

Tag: Maggot Brain
WBPM NetRADIO features Your Favorite R&B Music Hits
by DJ Whatshisname on Aug.08, 2012, under Station Update, The Musings
WBPM NetRADIO features Your Favorite R&B Music Hits
R&B Music Hits refers to more than just the great songs of The Godfather of Soul or Gladys Knight & The Pips…
The latest sets on WBPM NetRADIO provides examples of other classic R&B artists who have produced massive hits. For those of you who are fans of Side Effect, after literally years of hunting, I had added "Take A Chance" to the stream. This is a classic dance cut from back in the day. Has that driving bass line with a serious rhythm guitar track in addition to the stellar vocals.
The set is a tad more eclectic than usual. You will get a sampling of some classic guitar cuts including Funkadelic doing a live version of Maggot Brain featuring the originator Eddie Hazel and Micheal Hampton playing it together. Listen carefully to see how they did it.
Also Living Colour makes a first appearance here with a favorite of mine "Type". Never heard of Living Colour? Do a search on YouTube.
Speaking of "The Tube", do a search for Maggot Brain, Eddie Hazel and check out the clip where they perform in Germany in 1985. That's all I'm saying.
BT Express also comes through with a classic house party cut "I like It" in addition to Billy Ocean's "One of Those Nights".
So… in ending I just want to wish everying some peace and sanity…because we could all use some!

Just wanted to go to the movies…
by DJ Whatshisname on Jul.24, 2012, under The Musings
"We just wanted to go to the movies!!"
Is what the lady said as the news hounds interviewed her and the other survivors of that midnight madness at the movie theater over in Aurora. Surely someone will be asking at some point "What were you doing when…". I know what I was doing….
Sitting up in the middle of the night thinking random thoughts about the life and times (for starters…)
Maggot Brain had come on and the tv was tuned to some news channel with the sound muted. My eyes kept getting drawn the blue and red flashing lights on the screen. My brain was not processing what they were sending though. My ears had preempted all programming as Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain" faded in building in volume.
The version I was listening to was not the familiar one most people have heard. This was a 14 minute version from another album where they played it live. (Funkadelic Live Meadowbrook, Rochester, Michigan 12th September 1971). Not a bad sounding recording my ears were saying – but my eyes kept cutting in…
At some point I I turned on the closed captioning on the TV to discover hell had revisited earth yet again…and the music played building to a crescendo of guitars as I read the news…
Wildly estimated body counts started coming in as the drummer got some…
Somehow the music added the perfect context to the event. Hard to explain. and I was thinking to myself, they only wanted to see a movie…crazy. And the music fit perfectly. Check this out…
Willard really? In a movie theater?
