Enriched with jojoba, cocoa butter, shea butter, and olive oil, this cream soaks into your cuticles, leaving a silky smooth, but matte finish for perfectly showing off those freshly painted tips in pictures. No more dry cuticles, acetone whiteness, or greasy fingers with this cream. In a convenient 15 ml bottle, a secure screw-top cap and opening for a key chain, this matte cuticle cream is perfect to take with you on the go!
Waves crashing against the shore, a glass of fresh coconut water, and sandals laying next to a hammock where relaxation and daydreaming are the norm. Tide Me Over invokes the feel of those shoreside days with notes of fresh coconut; creamy shea butter softens this blend along with notes of sensual sandalwood and sea salt. Tide Me Over will take you away to a place where the days are slow and the sun tickles your skin.
To Use: Dispense a half pea-sized amount of matte cuticle cream onto one finger pad. Dab a tiny amount onto each cuticle area, rub in, and wait 30 seconds for the cream to soak in. If fingers appear greasy, use a smaller amount or rub in longer. For extremely dry cuticles and skin, follow up with KBShimmer cuticle oil and lotion. For best results, do not introduce water into the cream, and use within 24 months of purchase.
This listing is for a 15ml/ 0.5 oz bottle with screw off cap.
It's freezing out, but this makes me feel like I'm on the beach!
I got this as a sample with my order. I cannot. Stop. Smelling. It. I can practically feel the sun on my skin with this cream. I am so buying the lotion. And it of course dries to a nice matte finish!

The eider or Cuddy's duck.
Bird protection charity, the RSPB, is calling for more help for Northumberland’s iconic eider duck, 1,300 years after St Cuthbert introduced the first laws to safeguard its future.
Also known as Cuddy’s duck – after St Cuthbert – it is believed eiders inspired the saint to create the world’s first conservation legislation in the eighth century, apparently decreeing that no one should eat or disturb those nesting on the Northumberland coast.
More than a millennium later, eiders remain a cause for conservation concern. They are declining throughout Europe as a result of hunting, pollution and disturbance.
Early this year, the Government designated the stretch of sea between Whitley Bay and Alnwick in Northumberland as the Coquet to St Mary’s Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ), which will form part of a network of protected areas around England’s seas. However, as it currently stands, the nationally important population of eiders that live within this zone all year round will not be covered by the new legislation.
Now the RSPB is calling on Thérèse Coffey, Minister for Environment, to add eiders as a feature to the MCZ, which means that protection and management for birds can be put into place. They need people to show they care about the future of this integral part of Northumberland culture by writing to their MP and getting them to tell the Minister why this bird needs to be protected.
Anna Cucknell, RSPB marine conservation officer for North East England, said: “Although the Government has committed to protecting some of the habitats off the Northumberland coast, the Marine Conservation Zone won’t provide any direct protection for eider ducks or any of the other seabirds that live here. Our resident eider populations have continued to decline steadily over the last few decades, and so protection in their sea-based feeding and wintering habitats is essential.
You can find your MP and the various ways to contact them via the Write to Them website. Or all MPs can be reached by writing to them at House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA.
The UK’s heaviest duck, eiders are surprisingly quick and can clock speeds of up to 50mph.

In the cold, dark days of January, as farms across the hinterland lie dormant, ruby red grapefruit fields are just hitting peak production. Ruby reds are the reddest, juiciest and sweetest of the grapefruits, the variety against which all other pigmented grapefruits are measured. And January is when some of the finest fruit is plucked from the tree.
Rubyred Labs, itself freshly plucked, invites you to help celebrate the arrival of this year's succulent harvest. Steer your mule train to the Mission District of San Francisco on January 12th for an evening of earthly delights, and an exclusive unveiling or two.

She said she had a plan. Some time ago she had watched someone draw a flower with many pedals and layers and detail. She showed me step by step how to draw that flower. We shared a pencil and took turns drawing each layer. Then we colored our flowers. She dug through all the crayons offering ones she knew I would like.
Her plan was to give her picture to her teacher. Then we started cutting out hearts, from which one would go to the little girl whose feelings she may have hurt earlier that day. I taped a few leftover hearts around the picture of us hanging on the wall.
She became sad when she didn’t have a heart or flower for me.
So I let her know, that she gave me a gift. She looked at me puzzled. I couldn’t hold it in my hands or hang it on the wall. I let her know that she taught me something, and I won’t lose it, it can’t get ruined or thrown away. I’ll have that forever.
The moments we share with people, the moments when we connect with love or laughter, intelligence, kindness, music and dancing, art. These are the gifts.

On what date did we serve you?
What advice would you give a friend about our company/services?
I submitted an online request. In less than ten minutes I got a call back. Within two hours Michael was here to do the job. He was quick, efficient, and very helpful. I have already recommended The Junktique Collector to my neighbors. Painless.
Michael and Vicki are true professionals. They were able to accommodate my needs on extremely short notice and before a major holiday, too! I highly recommend using the Junktique Collector for anyone who needs something picked up and hauled away. Mike and Vicky are very personable and friendly. They understood my needs right from the get go and arranged to pick up a huge pile of yard waste/tree stumps & branches/palm trunks and fronds the very next day. Don't look anywhere else, just call Mike and Vicki at The Junktique Collector today! I know you'll be please, I sure am!
I found the Junktique Collector, Inc. team to be very professional, prompt, clean, reasonably priced and courteous. As an architect who specializes in rehabbing highly distressed residential properties; I must keep materials flowing in and out of a project without delay. The Junktique Collector team was always able to provide same day or next day service for whatever quantity of debris needing to be removed. I found their pricing always to be fair and they appreciated the work.
Junktique is an excellent service. They were very responsive to my needs, met with me, and cleaned out the apartment within the time frames I needed. They were very careful with the property to ensure no damage, especially when working around water pipes and electrical wiring. And they cleaned up completely for me when they were finished. I highly recommend them.
Michael Grusby was very professional. He gave me a set price and kept it at that, even though the job was a very messy one. He cleaned up the area and haul away everything. I will recommend him to anyone who needs their waste material removed.
Professional, prompt, courteous, and nice people to deal with.
Very responsive, on time, quick and fairly priced.
Really good. I will recommend them to anybody.
Excellent same day service! Wonderful job.
Very professional, on time, in uniform, and prices are very good!

In my last post, I had introduced you to a new brand in the market – Enn’s Closet. Am currently loving their green Wipe Out Chlorophyll Face Cleanser. It’s like a green detox for your face. If you haven’t yet checked out my review, please follow the above link. Today I will review one of their gourmet face masks – Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Face Mask. What I love about the brand is that they have a wide collection of gourmet face masks for different skin concerns – Berry Bang for Anti Ageing, Ac Nay for Anti Acne, Cocoa Mess for Nourishment, Chizzle for Skin Tightening, Sculpt for Anti Pigmentation, Black Friyay Activated Charcoal, Ba-na-na-na-h Mask for Anti-Dullness and finally this Illuminous Skin Lightening Mask. With such a wide variety, I wish they come up with a multi-masking kit with mini versions of all masks, like how GlamGlow, Innisfree and other brands have. Anyway, let’s see in detail about this Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Mask.
The gourmet face packs are 100% healthy and pure made with the highest quality organic/natural ingredients.
The illuminous face mask is the grim repair to your dead skin cells and helps in skin brightening. From stubborn old skin, to scars, acne, blemishes, and any other skin imperfections that are unfortunate enough to stand in its way, nothing is shown mercy before its scythe. This mask contains ground white rice which is a natural exfoliator used in the beauty regime for centuries. It scraps off the dead/dull skin cells and helps the skin breathe.
Apart from its exfoliating and purifying properties, this face masks equips your skin with everything it needs to prevent them from ever coming back. Happy skin, is the most luminous skin.
This electric blue face mask is lightly textured, soft and smooth. Unlike most brightening masks, Illuminous does not pull or tug at your skin. It glides on easy and comes off gently as you massage your face. Add this 15-minute miracle to your daily routine for radiant even skintone.
Bentonite Clay, Kaolin Clay, French Red Clay, Ground Rice, Green Tea Powder, Aloe Vera Gel, Honey Extract, Shea Butter, Papaya Extract, Chammomile Extract, Orange Essential Oil, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Neroli Essential Oil, Polysorbate 20, Purified Water, Xanthan Gum, Natural Preservatives.
Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Face Mask comes in a classy, black jar packaging. This is the standard packaging of all their face masks. They sure have established a unique, chic and urbane style of packaging in the market. Going full black is a bold move, but I think they have carefully considered and analysed the likes and preferences of the modern, urbane crowd.
Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Face Mask looks aqua blue in color. Very lovely actually. It has a nice aquatic scent. Yes! I have never used a face mask with aquatic scent and was quite surprised with this. It is not very strong and is just the right amount to give a pleasant and pampering experience. The texture of this face mask is a creamy paste and very smooth, not too thick.
Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Face Mask is so easy to apply as it glides very easily due to its right consistency. I wash my face with a deep cleanser and then apply this. It really feels luxurious and pampering on the skin and makes me feel like am floating in deep sea with its aquatic scent. I do feel a slight tingling sensation sometimes as its the case with most clay based masks. After 20 minutes, I wash it off and pat my skin dry.
Results? Yes, my skin does look illuminous as claimed. It brightens and lightens skin to give that radiant glow. My skin also feels deep cleansed of all impurities, pollution and there is a fresh feeling that my skin can finally breathe. It doesn’t dry out skin. Also tightens and firms face giving a youthful look. The claims say that it works on scars and blemishes too. I will say that it does work on them as it contains bentonite clay and kaolin clay. But the results are slower compared to some other masks I have used.
Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Face Mask as the name suggests is majorly for illuminous and bright, light, radiant skin. And it does whatever a face mask is supposed to do very well – deep cleansing pores and allowing them to breathe, tightening, firming and most of all a luxurious pampered feeling. The price is high but Enn’s Closet is supposed to be a high-end brand. And I felt the quantity was huge and quality was excellent as well.
* Different and refreshing aquatic scent.
* Deep cleanses skin without making it dry.
* Skin feels fresh and can breathe.
* Gives bright and radiant skin.
* Tightens and firms skin giving young look.
* Works on scars and blemishes with regular use.
* Luxurious and pampering on the skin.
* Huge quantity which will last long.
* Launch multi-masking kits with smaller versions of all masks.
I would like to try their other variants, especially Ba-na-na-na-h one.
Its a high-end product. Quantity and quality both are great.
Availability: You can buy online from here or here (Currently its on 20% discount sale).
Enn’s Closet Illuminous Skin Lightening Face Mask is a gourmet face mask to pamper your skin with on a weekend. You can do a proper cleanup using this just like in parlours. It has a refreshing aquatic scent which I love and the final effects of the mask satisfied me as well. I feel both the quantity and quality are great. You can give it a try, am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Have you tried any Enn’s Closet products? Do share your experiences on them.
Amazing Reviews of both the products by this brand. Do you think it will suit oily skin?
yes, do try it. its so good..

By Louise Wilkinson, 12th September 2016.
Here at Armstrong Craven, we are fortunate to work across a number of sectors including technology, financial services, healthcare and life sciences, consumer and industrial and, of course, chemicals.
This means we are able to assess how different industries approach the issue of talent acquisition.
The tech sector, as you would expect, often leads the way in terms of adopting new approaches to attracting talent. Armstrong Craven is an embedded partner within the talent acquisition team of one of the giants of this sector, ensuring that the management of their talent pipeline is as robust and dynamic as possible.
The chemicals sector has a reputation for being more traditional and conservative in the way it does business, although the signs are that this is gradually changing.
PwC says the process requires chemicals companies to take a hard look at three things: 1) how differentiated are the company’s products, 2) How intense is the competition and 3) What are the key operational imperatives.
The companies which will succeed the most are the ones which look beyond their traditional markets to emerging economies. Gains are expected to range from 6 to 10 per cent, compared to 2 to 3 per cent in developed economies.
According to Universum, the employer branding specialist, 70 per cent of global GDP growth in the chemicals sector is expected to come from emerging economies over the next few years.
Creighton adds: “The war for talent is a global trend and emerging markets will fuel the future talent pipeline.
The work we are doing within the chemicals sector, and the other sectors we specialise in, is predominantly about helping organisations move from a reactive to a proactive talent acquisition strategy.
For some, we are carrying out discreet and unique insight assignments that enable multinationals to gain in-depth knowledge of key talent in the target market either diagnosing current issues or providing evidence on which to base strategic decisions.
This often leads to talent mapping and talent pipeline assignments in which our specialist teams are generating a view of the talent landscape and helping clients to meet their current and future hiring requirements.
There are many benefits of taking a proactive approach to talent acquisition, not least the financial savings compared to traditional search and the improvement in time to hire. Clients also have ownership of all data generated from the assignment, enabling companies to continue to recruit key talent as future opportunities emerge.
A growing number of global businesses looking to emerging markets for future growth appreciate the importance of taking a proactive approach towards their talent needs. Without it, they know they run the risk of their competitors stealing a march on them in the war for scarce talent.
* Louise Wilkinson has worked with some of the biggest names in the global chemicals industry supporting them with their talent acquisition strategies.

I was raised in a household of artists. My mother and father met in the ‘80s in New York City doing silkscreen for an advertising company and both come from Fine Arts backgrounds. After relocating to Weehawken, my parents’ first apartment had a walk-in closet that also doubled as an art studio. And while I’ve always experimented with illustration and painting, I feel a strong connection to putting a hand to paper, and more recently, fabric.
For my latest project, I commissioned local Brooklyn artist Eric Yevak to create a one-of-a-kind painted fabric that was able to lend itself to interpretation. Something that represented the versatility of art and was also desirable. Yevak and I layered multiple colors and patterns over one another, creating a juxtaposition of hard and soft elements which complimented the Avant-Garde look I was inspired to create. I wanted to push the absolute boundaries and design a look that from every angle had three qualities: texture, dimension and surprise. Resulting in a form-fitting, scarlet plaid gown contrasted with voluminous black tulle, cropped sleeves and carefully placed star detailing.
Art does not require an explanation, but with fashion, and most often as a designer, I have to consider the trends, customer appeal and silhouette. The beauty of a fashion meets art piece is that there are no rules. To love or to hate a work of art is the entire basis of the presentation; to instill an emotional response.

A recent poll conducted by Pulse for the news website Action24 shows that the main opposition party in Greece, New Democracy (ND) has a 13 point lead over the current SYRIZA government.
The poll was conducted immediately following the narrowly approved reform package by Parliament which was needed to conclude the bailout review and eventually grant another tranche to the struggling country.
The Pulse poll revealed that the conservative ND has a 30 percent rate of support from those surveyed against SYRIZA’s 17 percent. Also, the poll’s data showed that the nationalist party of Golden Dawn had 7 percent of support, PASOK 6.5 percent, and the Greek Communist Party (KKE) had 6 percent.

According to a survey released by the University of Rhode Island’s Tobacco-Free Committee, 63 percent of students, faculty and staff support banning tobacco and electronic nicotine products from the Kingston campus.
Since the release of the survey results, a variety of individuals, organizations and departments have voiced their opinions on the ban’s implementation, the need for smoking-cessation programs and the concern for persons struggling with addiction and their campus accommodations at the public institution.
Health Services proposes to implement a smoke-free policy by early 2019, following the lead of over 2,000 schools across the country. The intent of the movement, as explained by Health Services Director Ellen Reynolds, is to promote healthy living on campus.
The survey and committee came as a result of a $20,000 grant in September 2017. Some students disagree with the ban, however.
“If URI was coming at this from a purely compassionate standpoint, we’d see more consistency,” said Sam Foer, URI American Civil Liberties Union president.
Foer argues that if URI wants to take away a freedom in the name of protecting the health of their community, then URI should also revoke their contract with Coca-Cola and remove soft drinks and processed foods from campus. Foer said that despite the health risks associated with smoking, the decision to smoke should not be determined by the University.
Adamantly against the smoking ban, sophomore John Podesta raised concerns over the University’s integrity regarding their intentions and alleged deception.
“One of the big things for me is that the University has not been honest about what they are doing,” said Podesta.
Podesta postulates that if students were made fully aware of everything the ban entails, they’d be less inclined to support it. “They’re calling it a ‘smoking ban,’ which implies cigarettes when essentially it affects vapes, juuls, and all other tobacco and nicotine products,” said Podesta.
Podesta said that designated smoking areas would be beneficial to reducing secondhand smoke in the non-smoking community, as well as creating stigma and isolation that encourages smokers to quit. As a former smoker, Podesta quit cold turkey.
Podesta also raised concerns over the University’s avoidance of questions and lack of tangible plans for carrying out the ban.
The smoking ban sets a dangerous precedent for the University, Podesta believes.
“It essentially says if the school gets lobbied enough, which they are by insurance money and CVS, that they can just bypass students, put out some biased, near-propaganda survey, and then pass anything they want while we’re paying them,” said Podesta.
Casey Bates, a second year professional pharmacy student, first heard about the ban in spring of 2017.
Bates believes more must be done to accommodate the smoking portion of the student population. For example, Bates suggests designated smoking areas in the four quadrants of campus.
“As the College of Pharmacy, being a healthcare provider, we should already be having smoking cessation programs,” said Bates.
Bates recommends rejecting the CVS funding and pursuing a different approach to assisting students with quitting their nicotine addiction without penalties or sanctions from the University. Specifically, Bates recommends involvement on part of all of the University departments instead of the College of Pharmacy acting alone for exclusive funding.
President of Alpha Zeta Omega, a professional pharmacy fraternity, Bates sets aside his personal opinion to support the endeavors made by the College of Pharmacy. In addition to organizations within the College of Pharmacy, student support for a smoke-free campus is prevalent.
“I’m tired of seeing people thinking they’re cool blowing smoke everywhere, especially in my face,” said freshman Michaela Baum. She’s part of the 63 percent of students in favor of the ban.
Students in favor of implementing this initiative on campus feel it will support healthy habits.
“I support a ban on tobacco products because I don’t think people should be smoking. It’s bad for you,” said freshman Louisa Melchionno.
The College of Pharmacy is taking an active role in helping students, faculty, staff and members of the local community to quit smoking, in collaboration with Health Services. Amanda Loomis, fourth-year PharmD student, is one of five Pharmacy students helping to lead a Smoking Cessation research study. Participants receive free counseling to quit smoking in 30 days. Loomis touched upon the health detriments of tobacco use on campus.
The University is still taking student responses into consideration as they actively work towards solidifying their ideals for the ban. Currently there are no definitive enforcement guidelines, penalty regulations or accommodation proposals.
“At URI we think big, so we should start thinking big about our health too,” said Loomis.

If a person is given the talent to be an artist, it is important that they share their ability with others and encourage their students to inspire others. As an art educator, we can inspire, inform, and provide a creative atmosphere for students to develop and appreciate their creative abilities.

When vacationing abroad, the normal outings are the ones the kids enjoy. Outings like going to the beach, museums, play parks, water parks etc, but a rather uncommon trip is one to a factory. That’s right. A factory. There are plenty to do, see and learn from. The manufacturing business may even spark a keen interest in engineering products. School outings normally expose kids to factory tours, but what better way to learn something new with your kid while on vacation?
The kite factory in Molokai, Hawaii, allows tourists to create their own kites and also teaches them how to fly it. Your kids will get a chance to exciting handcraft their own kites and windsocks, where the locals will direct you to the best spots for flying your kites.
The famous crayon factory is based in Easton, Pennsylvania. Though you can’t go into the Crayola manufacturing plant itself, they are able to teach you how crayons are made at its visitor center, where little ones can colour and play to their heart’s content. The Crayola factory is like entering into a giant crayon box, where you get to explore for hours on end.
In Williamsburg, Virginia, you will find the home of porcelain collector dolls. You will get to explore and see how the pretty dolls are made, and even get to see how the dolls are painted during a free tour through the factory. They must have gotten the best machinery finance in order to produce the best quality dolls.
Ever wondered how the toothpaste goes into the tube? In Sanford, Maine, you get to find out in the Tom’s of Maine. The excellent aspect of this tour is that it is absolutely free, however, they are only conducted during summer time and reservations are required.
For a day filled with fun, you most definitely need to go on a factory tour, and because the features are produced in house, you will be paying discount for any goodies you decide to purchase. Great savings and a learning experience you will be thrilled to put your mind to.

Right time to upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Discussion in 'macOS' started by mythdemon, Oct 31, 2012.
Hey guys, I've been running Lion on my early-2011 17" MBP and have quite a stable set-up as of now. I didn't upgrade to Mountain Lion right away as I was a bit apprehensive about the bugs.
Yes, I'd say the 'right time' has already passed.
Stable and robust as far as I'm concerned.
I waited until about 2 1/2 weeks ago to upgrade from 10.7.4 to 10.8.2 - no major issues so far.

The biggest benefit of these new "active video games" however lies in weight loss. Active video games can now be used as a tool to help fight child obesity which numbers continue to grow yearly. In a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic and illustrated in the pediatric issue of January 2007, researchers were amazed to find that children who played active video games were found to burn up to 3 times more calories than when playing traditional games. These studies were conducted before Nintendo's Wii came onto the market in the spring but researchers still believe that the Wii will promote the same effects as Sony's Eye Toy which was tested. Lead researcher in the report Lorraine Lanningham-Foster believes that if children are moving about, up, and walking around as apposed to sitting, then more calories are going to be burned.
Just recently gaming companies have started to look beyond producing video games as we commonly know them. Video game manufactures like Nintendo and Microsoft have looked beyond producing games that only work the fingers and into developing a new era of video entertainment that can actually promote exercise and health.
Video games are now being produced with fitness, well being and weight loss in mind. These games that are now on the market such as "Dance Dance Revolution" for the Nintendo Wii console are becoming quite popular among children and many adults who look to enjoy a workout from the comfort of their own home.
At the University of Toronto Canada a medical research team is in the process of developing a video game that is therapeutic in nature designed to help treat children suffering from hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a partially paralyzing condition that centers around one side of the body. By incorporating the active video game into the children's life and making them use the weaker side of their body to operate the game, patients motor function may improve over time.

Lead researcher in the report Lorraine Lanningham-Foster believes that if children are moving about, up, and walking around as apposed to sitting, then more calories are going to be burned.
As previously mentioned, Dance Dance Revolution is the most popular active video game in the nation right now being used to help battle obesity among all ages. In the United States 700 schools and close to 10 different states are now making Dance Dance Revolution an active part of physical education by incorporating it into the curriculum. Based on the current numbers it's estimated that close to 1'500 schools will be using "active games" by the beginning of the next decade.
By incorporating active video games into schools it makes it easier to get all kids involved in physical activity because a child doesn't need to be able to catch or throw a ball or be good at sports - schools can appeal to all children not just the physically oriented one's.
Just recently the state of Virginia with the co-operation of the Department of Education, Virginia University and the Public Employees Insurance Agency has committed to providing Dance Dance Revolution to all 765 of the states public schools.
Another study conducted by researches at the University of Rochester have determined that these active video games can also improve vision in the bottom line of a conventional eye chart.
Science and video games have come a long way over the years. Promoting a healthy lifestyle for children through active video games is a great way to get kids motivated and excited about exercise and fitness that they can carry with into their adulthood. It's fun, entertaining and parents too can indulge in the excitement and health rewards. So the next time your in the mood to try something new and get fit perhaps consider an active video game.

The endure affair you wish is for your media to atomize appropriate in the average of your cleansing process. Air filters may not charge to be as able back they are not apparent to abundant moisture. Still, there is generally some precipitation and aqueous vapour central air pumps, so accomplish abiding the air filters can bear aqueous in case of abstract and humidity.
There are altered means to use filters. Some are placed at the access or avenue of a machine, while others are laid on automated agent belts. In accession to capricious levels of viscosity, anniversary apparatus requires a altered breadth and amplitude of clarify fabric.

They aswell charge to be lighter in weight, so that they acquiesce able air circulation. Aqueous filters usually charge the accommodation to anticipate particles of 5 to 150 microns. Air filters charge to be finer, accoutrement contaminants as baby as 3 microns. Once you’re done with your filters, you’ll charge to actuate of them. Whenever possible, baddest blooming filtration media that can be disposed of in an environmentally affable manner. You’ll acquisition that accomplishment processes accomplish a lot of acclimated filters, so it helps if they can be disposed of after acceptable ecology hazards.
Filtration media is acclimated in abounding applications, including coolant fluid, machining, or hot rolling. The air and liquids that canyon through filters are generally actual hot or actual cold. Your media needs to accept the accommodation to plan at these temperatures. Some abstracts arrangement if chilled, so if your filtration fibres get tighter, they ability bind abstracts that are advised to get through the filter. This not alone reduces the candor of your filter, it can aswell could cause clogs that arrest accomplishment and accident equipment. Similarly, accretion fibres ability let through particles that should be kept out of your filtered residue. Accomplish abiding your clarify has anesthetized both the hot and algid test.
When you’re application filters in automated settings, you wish to get the best superior you possibly can. Unfortunately, the ‘best’ sometimes comes with an acrimonious amount tag. The accomplishment action is a ample calibration operation, so a aberration of a individual cent can bound accumulation up. This is even added acute with alternating expenses, and filtration media avalanche beneath this category. Shop about to see what clarify options are available.

Time to Bail out of Apartments REITs?
The apartments REITs invested in the west coast were negatively affected last week. Ten out of the fifteen apartments found themselves among the lowest performing REIT stocks. Essex Property Trust was the most affected with its stock falling by 6%. The episode was targeted towards a group of stocks as it happened in a week where most REIT boats have risen. Are investors going to bail out of apartments?
Investors have gotten worried about the Northern California real estate market as signs that the same growth rates will not remain. In a recent publication, Essex, which has heavily invested in the region, mentioned that Northern California’s growth rate has slowed down from Q1 figures. Revenue growth decreased from 9.1% (Q1) to 7.7 % (April/May), which was enough to set a brief selloff last Friday and yesterday.
Equity Residential, which has invested in both New York and San Francisco, announced last week that it had lowered its guidance for same property revenue growth. The company has noticed underperformance in its San Francisco portfolio. The company’s stocks fell by almost 6%, making it the second worst underperformer last week.
Multifamily have been darlings of the apartment markets especially on the west coast. San Francisco and Silicon Valley has caught investors’ attention for its higher average income and higher percentage of families earning six figures. High employment rate has also been a highlight, especially for millennials that are interested in paying off their school loans and delaying their plans to buy their first home right now.
Since both REITs (Essex and Equity Residential) have been in the chopping block, it is not shocking that they have had poor performance this year. What is stunning is that a stronger sentiment against multifamily has been forming. We believe that this is going to become more common as some subsectors (such as multifamily) have been overvalued.

The month of May is chosen by the Green Ribbon campaign as their month of promotion of their campaign to de-stigmatise mental health issues. Part of the month includes a National Time To Talk Day, where they encourage people to speak openly about their mental health and that of others. The campaign has run for a number of years now and from the statistics they report on their website, it seems to be an overwhelming success. This is the first year I’d heard of the Time To Talk Day, not that it’s stopped me speaking out before. I’ve spoken quite a bit about mental health and my experiences on this blog. You’re probably rolling your eyes and thinking “Here she goes again”. But why do I write about it so much? Why do I share my story?
It’s been a hectic few weeks with being away and trying to get back into the swing of things with E – September was a rollercoaster! However, back to normal scheduling now, so that means another addition to Mental Health Monday! This week, the very lovely Laura from Raising Elves has agreed to share her tale of trauma, depression and how it has affected her family life with the series. It’s a piece I found myself agreeing with a lot of and it summed up just so much of what being in the trenches with depression can feel like. As a parent with depression, I can see a lot of the same elements in my own life and it gave me pause to think about how it is impacting his life too. It’s an eyeopening read which I think a lot of people will relate to. So, without further fuss or ado, here’s Laura with her tale of being an awesome depression survivor!
Things have moved on greatly since my teenage years and since 2010, when I was diagnosed with depression.The world seems to have become a much more open place regarding the topic of mental health.Â Though we have far to go in this country especially, it is good to see that there are so many more resources freely available for people suffering from mental health issues. For this week’s Friday’s Five, I’ve put together a list of a few which really stood out to me at the moment. Most of them focus on young people but are really applicable to all, and as well as offering support they offer information for others interested in the topic.


text: Nature's Plus presents unrivaled nutritional support for healthy eye function: Maximum Strength Ultra Lutein. In Ultra Lutein, active ingredients lutein and zeaxanthin combine to form an antioxidant powerhouse that helps to reinforce ocular well-being.Ultra Lutein's FloraGLO brand of lutein is an active carotenoid derived from concentrated marigold flower extract, formulated with an exclusive, patented purifying process. While lutein is found in many common foods, most adults may not get sufficient quantities of this beneficial nutrient for their daily diet. Scientific studies indicate that 20 mg of lutein is critical threshold of efficacy for adults who need maximum support for healthy eye function -- and 20 mg of FloraGLO lutein is precisely what each Ultra Lutein softgel contains. The cofactor in Ultra Lutein, zeaxanthin, also a marigold derivative, synergistically enhances lutein's natural antioxidant strength.

There's a lot of lip service that exists when collegiate football coaches discuss the team they are playing next and in particular the opposing team's head coach. However, when Navy's Ken Niumatalolo and Bob Diaco of UConn heap praise on their counterpart I am inclined to believe it is truly what they feel.
Diaco might have been more questions about defending Navy's triple-option offense than any other subject at today's press conference. It is a subject he knows well dating back to his days as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator.
"We kind of laugh about but as prepared as you are, they are still going to have one formation, one small little wrinkle one way they are getting their business done that is not even on your wallpaper board, it is not even on anything that you have watched," Diaco said. "If they have to do it 35 times in a row, they have to do it 35 times in a row. It is a very unique preparation."
Niumatalolo recalls the matchups between Navy and Notre Dame as well as last year's game against UConn when Diaco was at the forefront of explaining the nuances of the triple-option offense to his players.
"He is one of the best defensive minds, best football coaches in the country," Niumatalolo said. "I think he has done a really good job at UConn in changing the culture there. His guys, you can't trick these guys. Different things we do, a lot of it is deception, doing different things but his guys are always clued in with their keys, they know what they are doing. It becomes a real physical game because that is how they play. Sometimes we can get people by tricking them, do certain things to deceive them but with UConn and with Notre Dame over the years, his teams are always well prepared, assignment sound and are very detailed in what they do."
One of the things that jumped at me when I looked at Navy's game notes is that Niumatalolo, offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper and defensive coordinator Dale Pehrson have been on the coaching staff at the Naval Academy 19, 17 and 21 seasons respectively. If there is another team in the country with the three top coaches having been with the program that long, I am not aware of where that would be.
"It creates a circumstance where at no point in time are you going to surprise them," Diaco said. "At no point in time are you going to create something that they haven't already seen, at no point in time do they not know instantaneously know where to go with the ball based on what you are doing."
Diaco also brought up the new NCAA rules limiting the areas when cut blocking is allowed which could come into play on Saturday since Navy utilizes cut blocking to run its offense. Now players who are outside of the tackle box can't come back into the area and block low.
"You no longer can come from outside of the offensive tackle whether you are pre-snap aligned there or not, the minute you extend outside the offensive tackle, you are restricted from coming back in and blocking below the waist which is brand new," Diaco said. "I could show a half dozen clips of our Mike (middle) linebacker being chopped at his knee by a front side slot (back) who pre-snap was tied to the (tackle) box but then extended outside, came back in and cut a scrapping linebacker, you can't do that any longer. I think it is all spectacularly good for American football."
While the Connecticut high school football season doesn't begin until later this week, some of UConn's commitments from other state have already started their senior seasons.
Getting stats on some of these games has been a bit challenging but I can report that cornerback Abiola "Bebe" Olaniyan had a team-high seven solo tackles as Woodberry Forest opened its season with a 37-35 victory over Bishop McNamara.
It is not the first time Olaniyan as he had six tackles and an interception in last season's 37-18 win over Bishop McNamara.

Campbell, S., Miller, C., Steven, A. and Stephens, A. (2003) Photosynthetic responses of two temperate seagrasses across a water quality gradient using chlorophyll fluorescence. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 291 (1). pp. 57-78.
Photosynthetic characteristics of seagrasses measured by pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) fluorometry have demonstrated acute responses of seagrasses to short-term doses of high light irradiance, UV radiation, osmotic stress and desiccation. In this work, we use PAM fluorometry to examine photosynthetic rates of the seagrasses Zostera tasmanica and Zostera capricorni across a light gradient within a large temperate marine embayment in Westernport, southern Australia. Three sites were studied across the bay representing a gradient in water quality, with low light conditions at Charing Cross, intermediate light conditions at Crib Point and high light availability at Newhaven. In the field electron transport rates (ETRs) were measured both as rapid light curves (RLCs) by in situ yield measurements under ambient daylight. Z. capricorni showed a high photosynthetic activity compared with Z. tasmanica, a response consistent with the adaptation of Z. capricorni to high light conditions. The low midday photosynthetic rate (ETRmax) and photosynthetic efficiency (α) of both species at Charing Cross where photon fluxes were low suggests a photoadaptive response. Diurnal responses of ETR, photosynthetic efficiency (α) and Ik for both seagrass species were consistent with diurnal responses reported for other seagrass species in Australia. Low early morning photochemical quenching (qP) of Z. tasmanica and Z. capricorni at Charing Cross (low light site) also may be a function of reduced ETR and photosynthetic efficiency. A key finding was the persistent low dark-adapted maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) of Z. tasmanica at Charing Cross in both winter and summer due to a decrease in Fm relative to Fo. Such a finding suggests photosynthetic downregulation and closure of photosystem II (PSII) reaction centres possibly in response to light deprivation. The response suggests seagrasses at Charing Cross showed physiological signs of stress characterised by low quantum yields and low rates of electron transport. Low photosynthetic rates may in part explain the twofold to threefold lower leaf biomass of Z. tasmanica shoots at this site compared with the other two sites.

They come in all shapes and sizes, but basically they’re chemicals designed to help with the processing, packaging, and storage of food. Companies use them to add extra flavor, combine ingredients they wouldn’t be able to combine naturally, and make food products keep longer on grocery store shelves.
The food industry has exploded over the past 100 years. Today, with up to 75 percent of supermarket shelf space stocked with packaged and processed foods, there’s big money at stake (1). These processed foods make up about 70 percent of the average American’s diet (2).
And this isn’t just an American issue. The global food additive business is projected to grow to over $36 billion by 2018 (3). The food companies responsible for them spend millions on marketing and misleading consumers to keep them eating their products without question.
Decades of research and a drive to make more profits have given food manufacturers the arsenal of additives they use today. In the U.S., more than 3,000 chemicals have been intentionally added to our food (4).
And you’ll also avoid some of the most dangerously sneaky food additives – like high fructose corn syrup and trans fats.
Here are five sneaky food additives to watch out for, why you should, and the typical foods you’ll find them in. Spotting these additives is the first step to kicking them to the curb and improving your health.
And they’re still using this stuff today. If you’ve ever wondered how food companies keep the packaged bacon you buy so red – even after it’s been on the shelves a long time – nitrates are probably the explanation.
Nitrates are dangerous because they can create cancer-causing compounds called “nitrosamines.” Studies have found that eating a lot of processed meats has been linked to stomach and colorectal cancers (6, 7). It’s especially dangerous if you’re cooking processed meats at high heat (8).
A lot of people switch to Paleo and get excited about being able to eat bacon (and with good reason!). Just be careful about the type of bacon (and any other processed meats) you’re eating to make sure they don’t contain nitrates. Plenty of high-quality, nitrate-free options are available and taste great.
Studies on how harmful this additive is are mixed. If you’re a woman, it’s especially important to watch out for this stuff because it’s been shown to decrease estrogen levels (9).
Because it’s already been shown to mess with hormone levels and may contribute to cancer, you’re best off avoiding this additive completely if you’re concerned about your health.
But did you know that your former favorite breakfast cereal might contain the same ingredient found in jet fuel, transformer oil, rubber petroleum products, and embalming fluid (10)?
The National Toxicology Program, relying on findings from experimental animal studies, pegged BHT as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen” (11). Its Material Safety Data Sheet says BHT can cause liver damage and shouldn’t even be allowed to enter the environment.
Fortunately, you’re already avoiding most of these if you’re following a Paleo diet. But be careful about checking oils and any frozen meats you buy for this harmful additive.
Soy lecithin is an “emulsifier,” an additive used to get different food ingredients to stick together in a process that wouldn’t happen naturally.
The USDA, which is still on board with soy as a “health food,” considers soy lecithin as safe. However, soy isn’t part of the Paleo diet because hundreds of studies have linked excessive consumption of it to digestive problems, immune system issues, and even more serious conditions like heart disease (12). This means soy lecithin is off limits – except maybe in limited amounts on cheat days.
But the controversy continues. Some scientists claim it’s perfectly safe. But others – like the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine – argue that MSG makes it easier for cancer to grow and spread within the body. And a study published in the Journal of Autoimmunity found a connection between MSG, obesity, and inflammation (14).
Following a clean Paleo diet – focusing on produce, quality animal products, nuts, and safe starches – will help you avoid thousands of nasty food additives so many people are shoveling down their throats every day.
Paying attention to the sneaky food additives listed above will take your health to the next level. Instead of fueling your body with products made in labs, you can rely on the best nature has to offer.
Were you eating any of the additives in this post without realizing it? Which ones? Leave a comment below and share your experience!

In the fall of 1990, Larry Smith, an old gunner of mine from '66-'67, called me and asked if I was aware that the 145th Aviation Battalion had an association. I told him "No". He then told me they were having a reunion at Ft. Rucker in June of '91. Larry and I agreed to meet there.
We talked Dennis Hand and Donnie Profitt into attending also. At this reunion, we rediscovered feelings long suppressed from Vietnam. We had no interest in battalion level people, because we did not know them. The four of us stayed in one hotel room and let the memories fly. From that four person meeting, the spark was lit to get the guys back together as best we could.
Nineteen months later, February 1993, found us at a Ramada Inn in Memphis, TN. We had about ninety some odd men on our mailing list and forty eight of them attended this reunion. These men were primarily from the '66-'67-'68 era. The electricity in that room was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. It was a room full of men that had "been to the well" together. Many hearts were affected as we came to the realization of the genuine love we had for each other. Tears were shed as we conducted our first Memorial Service, honoring thirty-six men who died with us in Vietnam. At that time, we were unaware that the total should be fifty-five men.
Vows were made at this reunion that another would be held in two years. In the meantime, attempts would be made to contact ANYONE that had ever served with us.
Chuck Carlock told me, "I'm going to get us a Firebird Gunship"! I thought, ok, we'll see about that!
In 1995, we met in Dallas at a Holiday Inn near the DFW Airport. One hundred and seventy one men got to see what a real Texas storm was like. On the Friday night of our reunion, softball size hail pelted parts of the area while howling winds roared, forcing us to adjourn to safer areas inside the hotel. The reunion was to be a Friday, Saturday, Sunday affair.
On Thursday night, we had 55 men there with no place to put them together. Lesson learned. The reunion will start on Thursdays from now on. These 55 men were so excited at the prospect of a reunion that they could not wait until Friday to arrive.
The same feelings that had occurred in Memphis were rekindled. We were really on to something. Chuck Carlock's Firebird Gunship had arrived only three days before the reunion, but all that wanted to, got to see it at Chuck's place south of Ft. Worth. Plans were made to go three years before the next reunion in order to get us off the same year as the 145th Battalion Association, who met every two years also.
Chuck Carlock told me he was going to write a book and get a bunch of guys to tell their stories from his time frame (Sep '67-Sep '68). I thought, ok, we'll see about that!
In 1998, Orlando, FL. was the setting for another wonderful reunion again at a Holiday Inn. The pattern from previous reunions was very much in evidence. New men were the most fun to witness, as they did not know what to expect. One hundred and forty five men attended this reunion.
By this time the book "Firebirds" by Chuck Carlock had been selected by the Military Book Club as a 'Book Of The Month' and the book was into it's second printing. I now realize that if Carlock says a rooster can pull a freight train, I go to looking for a harness. The man does not make an idle boast.
In the year 2000, our Association traveled out west to reunion at the famed "Frontier" Hotel and Casino. One hundred and forty one men attended this gathering of 'Silver Eagles' along with the families of two of our men killed in action. The pleasures of Las Vegas were lost to most of the men who only wanted to be together again.
2002 saw our largest ever reunion at the St. Louis Crowne Plaza Airport Hotel. One hundred eighty one men came together, bringing family and friends to witness 'old soldiers' reliving those battles, sorrows, laughs, and stunts that only a bunch of kids in a war can remember.
We held our first Saturday night banquet with the guest speaker being Mr. 'Good Morning, Vietnam' himself, Adrian Cronauer. We had to commit to sell one hundred fifty banquet tickets, in advance. This is scary when you have never tried it. Three hundred and ten people made known their preference at having a banquet by attending this affair.
Plans were made to hold our 2004 reunion in Washington, D.C. This D.C. trip has always been on the horizon, because of "The Wall". Our Memorial Services have become a standard of our reunions. The men can cry openly now and say their last farewells in a setting far removed from the horrors of war. They have a chance to speak for their friends and comrades from so many years ago by answering "here" when their name is called. This is good. This is long overdue. As long as we draw a breath, we will never forget the men who did not come home alive.

I know February is a polarizing month – most people either love it or hate it. I’ve always fallen into the love-it camp. Sure, I might be a bit biased (between my family and friends, there are about 10 birthdays to celebrate in February, and who doesn’t love birthday cake?), but even putting birthdays aside, I still enjoy the month with all of its Valentines accessories. You know what I’m referring to. The chocolates, the balloons, the red roses… so many classic symbols of the holiday designated for the celebration of love. You see it spilling over in the aisles of grocery stores everywhere you go, and come February 14th, the world will be covered in red and pink hearts, toting white teddy bears, and popping bottles of champagne.
However, as the holiday rolls around this year, I want to challenge you to considering doing something a little different. What if, instead of giving your sweetheart the classic bouquet of a dozen red roses, you two picked out flowers to take to a senior at the nursing home who is grieving for their late spouse? What if instead of buying an expensive box of chocolates, you treated that single mom in your office to a nice dinner with her kids to get to know more about her life? What if instead of hunting for the perfectly scripted Valentine’s Day card, you wrote a letter to express how you actually care for and appreciate the person to whom you are writing? What if we treated Valentine’s Day as a day to show our love to others, not just to our spouse or significant other? I think I’m stating the obvious when I say that Valentine’s Day has become so polarized because it’s a holiday that’s easy to celebrate when we have someone to celebrate it with, and it’s easy to hate when we find ourselves alone. But perhaps if we didn’t confine the holiday to the celebration of romantic love – if it could be a time to celebrate the love between friends, family, and humanity as a whole – maybe we could find a little more joy in the holiday regardless of our relationship status. So this week when you pass by the flowers at the supermarket, I hope that you will not only see the red roses of love and passion, but also the yellow roses of friendship, the white roses of sympathy, and the pink roses of gratitude and remember that love comes in many forms.

Apple has ended its silence in the face of huge public outrage over footage of six black students in Melbourne being told to leave the Apple store because they "might steal something".
The story quickly received global coverage, with the students claiming the Apple staff member’s comments had racist connotations.
Despite strong condemnation on Twitter and Facebook, on which the video has now been viewed more than 60,000 times, Apple initially refused to comment on the incident.
Several reports said the company had apologised privately to the students, but one of them, Mohamed Semra, asked for a public apology on his Facebook page.
With scrutiny and anger growing on social media, Apple relented and reversed its position today, with the US headquarters issuing a statement publicly apologising to the students.
"Inclusion and diversity are among Apple’s core values. We believe in equality for everyone, regardless of race, age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation," the statement said.
"That applies throughout our company, around the world with no exceptions. We’ve looked into the details of the situation and we apologise to the customers involved. We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure all our customers are treated the way they should be."
Following the release of the statement, Semra wrote on Facebook that he was happy to bring the matter to a close.
"They apologised, so we’re chilling, no need to take it further," he wrote.

Amazon makes a great point with this commercial, namely Apple's products are priced at a premium. The question is, are they premium products. By definition yes.
So what can Apple learn here? Not much, as they are the most successful consumer electronics company in the world. Instead this commercial should be playing over and over in the headquarters of companies like ASUS, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba. These companies need to understand that they are not premium manufacturers, and as such shouldn't be pricing their devices inline with companies like Apple.
It costs Motorola $250 to build and market each tablet it sells. If Motorola sells 1 million tablets priced it at $600, how many units would they have had to sell to be more profitable if they had originally priced their tablet at $350?

In most countries trading or sale of gametes is forbidden, however the donation of gametes, where the donor makes a voluntary, altruistic and spontaneous gesture, receiving only expenses, is permitted and often carefully legislated.
For example in Spain, oocyte donation is regulated by Law 35/1988, while in Greece, Law 3089/2002 regulates assisted reproduction. Oocyte donation is anonymous.

Do what needs to be done to operate storage infrastructure with a quality of service you can live with.
A reader recently sent me a request for background documents or links that would “map ITIL to ILM.” Apparently, he is preparing to deploy Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and wants to wrap the effort in the set of best practices known as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL).
In short, he is trying to find value in one kind of marketecture by contextualizing it within another kind of marketecture. My advice: use your common sense.
The general consensus around ITIL holds that it is a set of best practices and guidelines that define an integrated, process-based approach for managing information technology services generally. ITIL began in the 1980s as an attempt by the British government to develop an approach for efficient and cost-effective use of its many IT resources.
Today, like ISO, an entire industry of organizations, tools, consulting services, related frameworks, and publications have sprung up around the ITIL process, which focuses primarily on core IT operational processes such as Change, Release, and Configuration Management, as well as Incident, Problem, Capacity, and Availability Management. In other words, ITIL is a collective repository of experiential and theoretical guidelines that is making a lot of money for people from sales of methodologies and related services. Sometimes, when speaking with the ITIL-aware consultant/practitioner, you could swear that you are being indoctrinated into a cult.
ITIL has given us two things: 1) a pragmatic assertion that the true value of IT is in what it provides to the business process, and 2) an equally pragmatic assertion that delivering quality IT services involves a cycle of change management and continuous improvement. The first point is underscored by ITIL’s elevation of the help desk to the center of the IT operational universe.
This makes sense. Corporate opinions of IT services are shaped first and foremost by how user complaints are handled. Let’s not debate whether it is more important to ensure that systems are built properly so that users have nothing to complain about. Call it Toigo’s Law: Users will always find something to complain about.
It therefore stands to reason that the help desk person is the de facto ambassador of IT to the rest of the company. He or she had better be empathetic, knowledgeable, bright, and enthusiastic—and it also helps if he/she speaks normal English (or whatever language is popular in the company). Geek speak is out.
The second point doesn’t require any special ITIL books or consulting services to understand. IBM articulated its Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) nearly 40 years ago and it has infected everything it has touched since. Basically, all effective decision-making is a cyclical process. Collect information, define the appropriate strategy, implement the strategy, define the feedback loop, and act on the feedback to refine strategy. This is the essence of disaster recovery planning, security planning, application development, and just about any strategic planning process in the IT universe. That ITIL codified this as a best practice is nice and warm, but let’s give some credit where it is due. Big Blue’s Redbooks were every bit the guide to IT management that ITIL can ever hope to be, and it predated ITIL’s service orientation and lifecycle view by at least 20 years.
Big Blue is also, arguably, the master architect of ILM. Information lifecycle management could be established in the mainframe data center because IBM provided all the necessary tools in the form of DFSMS and DFHSM. With such tools, you could identify data sets and set up policies for how the data would migrate over infrastructure until their useful life was over and they could be safely purged.
What Mapping Do You Need?
Still, the tools were there, and with a bit of ingenuity, such as a DB2 database to serve as a metadata look-up table, you could deliver the four essential ingredients of ILM: a data classification method (so you know what you’re moving), a storage classification method (so you know where you are moving it), an access frequency counter (to help you determine when to move it), and a policy-based data mover (to actually move the data per policies). It was an autonomic system that, when implemented properly, handled your data assets as business rules dictated.
What mapping do you require between ITIL and ILM? The answer is none. ITIL simply provides metaphorical overlays on the ILM process; it neither helps illuminate nor defines what the ILM process is. I suppose you might find it useful to reference ITIL (as SNIA does in some of its papers on what it calls ILM) to impress the ITIL-savvy in your corporate bureaucracy, but, in any case, it isn’t necessary to map ILM to ITIL.
One other reason to contextualize your ILM initiative in the ITIL process might be to better guide auditors through your process—show them how the airy guidelines of ITIL are observed in your information policy development and refinement processes, for example.
The sad truth is that standards from ISO and quasi-standard mantras like ITIL, CoBit, and Six Sigma have managed to attach themselves to corporate processes from time to time, much like tapeworms. You see requests for bids that are thick with prerequisites steeped in ISO-this and ITIL-that. It is analogous to how the SNIA would like to have its work on SMI-S or XAM accepted blindly as “de facto standards”—which they aren’t.
My advice to the reader is to do what needs to be done to operate storage infrastructure with a quality of service that the company can live with, and to funnel issues related to data access and regulatory compliance through a business-savvy help desk. Moreover, build checks and balances into your data management processes that provide opportunities for improvement based on observed deficits, testing and business or infrastructure change. You will likely find that ISO, ITIL and every other set of guidelines have been satisfied—and you didn’t even need to buy a decoder ring.
My two cents. I am interested in hearing yours: jtoigo@toigopartners.com.

'A stitch in time saves nine'; education is that stitch that saves a nation from failing, it is the backbone without which a nation falls short to stand alone. As cities and nation states battle to alleviate poverty, HIV or recession, higher and vocational education is under huge pressure from world governments to play a key role in easing these blazing issues and securing their global position. As global markets develop rapidly, governments perceive that innovation and economic growth will be generated from growing global networks of researchers, students and institutions. But this challenges the traditional roles of universities and colleges and requires these educational institutions to change their purpose and practice of higher education.
When the rest of the world thinks higher education is a solution to today's concerns, British Council thinks no different. British Council believes that international higher and vocational education is critical for the well being and prosperity of nations, institutions and individuals. The British Council authority in the field of international higher and vocational education is helping to shape the future global landscape of the sector by engaging with policy makers, education professionals and key decision makers to contribute to the sector's growth worldwide.
INSPIRE- International Strategic Partnerships in Research and Education is a British Council funded project that aims to significantly strengthen the academic and research partnerships between the Higher Education Institutions in UK and strategic selection of countries in Central and South Asia (CSA). The principal aim of INSPIRE is to support a transformational increase in the number and scope of Higher Education partnerships between the UK and the Universities in the CSA region. Under its INSPIRE project, British Council sent two delegates, Professor Dr M Muhibur Rahman, Member, University Grants Commission of Bangladesh and Professor Dr M Anwar Hossain, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dhaka University, to an international conference titled ' 5th Going Global Conference 2011'.
Going Global Conference attract important figures across the world.
Going Global is one of the world's largest international educational conferences attracting policy makers, education professionals and key decision makers from the higher and vocational educational sectors across the world. Usually held in the UK, this time the conference was held in Hong Kong from March 10 to 12, 2011.
Going Global Conference 2011 attracted more than 1100 delegates and 15 Ministers of Education, 50 International Vice Chancellors and Presidents and the British Minister for Universities and Science and the conference reinforced British Council's role as a global convenor of real influence. The theme of this year's conference was 'World Education: the new powerhouse?' The sub- themes that were discussed under the main theme were investing for return, regional education hubs, new purposes and universities and colleges.
The Going Global Conference 2011 included presentations, debates, discussions, questions and answers sessions by Speakers from different countries. Two plenary and 32 parallel sessions were also held.
When asked what changes could be brought to the education system in Bangladesh to cope with the transition worldwide, the two delegates shared that there are rooms and scopes for modifications in the system. For instance, they talked about outsourcing universities in Bangladesh, like Monash University in Malaysia. They also suggested that Bangladesh Government should increase the percentage allocated for education in the country's yearly budget, build collaborations with universities that will act as a synergy to pull resources, and remodel the existing educational policies.
The 6th Going Global Conference will be held in the year 2012 in London. It is through conferences like these that great minds from the world over gather, all with the same objective: exchanging ideas to mitigate the issues prevailing in the world today.
