Sexual Violence Awareness Month is held during October each year to: Raise community awareness about sexual violence, Promote the support options available to people affected by sexual assault and sexual abuse, and Uphold a clear message that sexual violence will not be tolerated in our communities.
Sexual abuse and assault (or sexual violence) is any unwanted sexual behaviour towards another person. There are different kinds of sexual violence but all sexual violence is a serious crime.
How big is the problem of sexual violence?
Exact numbers are not available as: Many acts of sexual violence are not reported and Offences differ from state to state.
The Australian Study of Health and Relationships survey of 20,000 Australians found that 21% of women and 5% of men say they've been forced or frightened into doing something sexually they didn't want to do. Of these: about half were 16 years or younger the first time it happened and only a third had talked to anyone about their experience.
Rules like 'don't talk to strangers 'and 'don't walk alone after dark' may help to avoid general crime, but they help little to prevent sexual violence. These rules support the myth that a victim of sexual violence could have done something to avoid it. In fact, the victim usually knows the person committing the sexual assault and most incidents take place at home.
It's best to join in activities that will help build confidence and self esteem, enabling you to deal assertively—and if needed, aggressively—with an attacker.

It was my birthday this past weekend. My big 3-0. With the amount of comments like "Wow! 30! How do you feel about that?!?", or "Don't feel bad, they say life starts at 30..." it seems like everyone else had a harder time with me turning 30 than I did! Granted, when daydreaming at age 16, I imagined my life to be far different from where I am today, involving marriage, kids, and a very different career. But I also couldn't possibly have imagined climbing volcanoes and surfing reef breaks in Indonesia or living on a pristine beach in Australia or touring ancient wine cantinas and monasteries in Sicily, driving through sugar cane fields in Cuba or riding on a bike through a jungle in the Philippines. I couldn't have possibly envisioned the people that crossed my path, from children who danced and laughed with me, singing in a language different from my own, to those that gave me their heart and changed me forever: my family who became my best friends, and my best friends who became my family. I couldn't have imagined all the people both around the world and in my backyard that shaped who I am today. And I definitely could not have imagined that my camera would play a huge part in creating my life, encouraging travel and adventure, showing me a view of life that I am grateful for every day.
So no, I am not where I thought I would be at 30, I am far beyond anything I could have imagined!
If you live in Vancouver, then you would have noticed the blossoms blooming in multitude all over the city. This city comes alive in the spring. Not only are the Vancouverites ecstatic to emerge from their long winter stupor, but the cherry blossoms are also literally bursting from their buds. And then you add a little sunshine and it becomes the most beautiful city in the world. Hands down. No questions asked. After missing out on spring in Vancouver the last few years, these blossoms were one of the best birthday presents I could have asked for.

So, after a pretty hectic work-filled week in Marrakech, I flew to Geneva to spend Easter weekend with my friend Jonathan (who was in NYC a few weeks ago you may remember) as his husband Michael is out of town visiting friends of his own. Yesterday we had a lovely dinner and hung out in Geneva, while today we crossed the border into nearby France to visit a very cute little town called Annecy, full of history and wine and cheese and lots of rain. Still, it was a super charming place to walk around, and we had a lovely time. Then this evening we were invited to a delicious home cooked meal by Jonathan's friend Richard, and now we are back home where I am endeavoring to not feel like the fat pig I am for all I have eaten today. In case you want the rundown between lunch and dinner, there was escargot and tartiflette and jambon cru (salt cured ham) and vin blanc and vin rouge and gnocchi and steak and mousse au chocolat and some kind of lemon tart, and of course several coffees.
Petites choses
You forget how many little peculiarities go into making a culture what it is. They way someone orders in a restaurant, the way they get someone's attention, stand in a queue, express mild exasperation or amusement, etc. Walking around Paris yesterday I was noticing once again all the little habits that make the French French, but also that which makes the Parisian Parisian. I realized how easy it is to stand out in a culture where the most subtle of actions are performed slightly differently. There was a time living here when I had really mastered them, and not a single person would ever suspect that I was foreign. It was all a great game to me, trying to see how long I could fool people into believing that I was from here. But after so many years away, it is obvious to anyone now that I am once again a foreigner, and it makes people behave slightly differently in your presence, despite themselves. This is just human nature. I think it would be fun to come back and spend a couple of months here to brush up on my language skills and relearn some of the cultural tics. And to stuff my face with croissants and pastry, which, let's be honest, no one in the world can do as well as the French.
Something other than fries and waffles
Last night I attended a birthday party dinner for my friend Fabian at a Belgian restaurant called Markt. I have to admit to being really surprised by how good the food was (I had the Carbonades, which is kinda like a beef bourguignon, but made with beer and tastier). Two of the people at our table (my friend Truike and some guy whose name escapes me) are of Belgian background and got all haughty about their national cuisine, feeling the need to disparage French cuisine in the process. It struck me again how similar the relationship is between them to Canada and the US. The larger, more culturally influential neighbor to the south always ignoring the neighbor to the north. The belief by just about everyone, upon speaking with a northern neighbor, that they are from the larger country to the south. These are some of the slights that both Canadians and Belgians suffer from, and it generally causes them to strongly declare how superior their culture is in a sort of reverse chauvinism. They usually toss out a mix of things that supposedly make them better, like lower gun violence or universal health care, which I totally agree with.
But the imp in me just can't help but respond with things like "Cory Hart" and "Brussels".

Freshman Orientation
"The entire college project can be seen as that of enabling the student to understand the immense story of the universe and the role of the student in creating the next phase of the story." ~ Thomas Berry
Because no community can exist without a unifying story to bind it together, and only in a viable planetary community can there be a viable human community. This is the essence of The Great Work of our times, and is the task at hand for every member of the human community.
We are continually learning what it means to be human in this day and age. We are rethinking the roles we play, discovering new perspectives, integrating wider outlooks. Connecting. And reconnecting. Coming to understand that we are in fact all related, not just with each other, but with everything that is. We are beginning to appreciate that we are an expression of the universe itself, learning to perceive the universe through our unique mode of being, and through the tools that we have developed. We are the universe becoming aware of itself. We are the universe acquiring spoken language and opposable thumbs. When we learn to integrate ourselves into the greater community of life, we can become the voice of our planet. Together we are dreaming a new world into being. Together we are reinventing what it means to be human.
It is my sincere hope that this somewhat fanciful concept of The Gaia Community College will help guide and inspire the unfolding of our evolutionary growth towards a biocratic / ecozoic community on earth. I would like to humbly offer this attitude of The Gaia Community College to serve as an identity for the ever growing treasury of memes that are aligned with the establishment of a mutually enhancing relationship between our species and the greater community of life on our garden planet. An inspirational evolutionary directory if you will of ideas, values, and patterns of behavior that can be passed along through our culture by non-genetic means; memes are the cultural counterpart of genes. By individually embracing the notion that we truly are freshman within the greater Gaian Community, we begin in earnest the healing that will reestablish our participation in the only community that matters.
Within these pages you will find recommended reading sources of this nature, links to kindred efforts and multimedia libraries, our blog documenting related news, thoughts, quotes, events and organizations, and our marketplace, where you can show your support for this project by wearing or otherwise displaying your school spirit. We've found that Gaia Community College merchandise sparks fantastic conversations with complete strangers, and as far as we're concerned, any and all discussion of such matters bringing greater awareness of these issues will help birth the new earth. So the real question becomes, when do we graduate, or will we fail the course?
"The natural world is not simply object, not simply a usable thing, not an inert mode of being awaiting its destiny to be manipulated by the divine or exploited by the human. The natural world is subject as well as object. The natural world is the maternal source of our being as earthlings and the life-giving nourishment of our physical, emotional, aesthetic, moral, and religious existence. The natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong. To be alienated from the community is to become destitute in all that makes us human. To damage this community is to diminish our own existence." ~ Thomas Berry

Google Play Movies & TV full review
Google Play Movies & TV is an Android app that operates as a window into the Google Play store in order to let you rent movies, and then allows you to stream or download the same files via a web page, Android phone or Android tablet, as well as letting you view your videos from other sources on the same devices. See also: Best Android Apps.
Google Play Movies & TV is as important to Google as the Nexus 7 itself. The Nexus is, as we know, a loss leader from Google aimed at generating more revenue via the Google Play app and media store. It's why Google is giving away £15 of credit with each Nexus 7 purchase, and why the product itself costs less than the sum of its parts.
Google Play Movies & TV is an app for compatible Android 2.2+ phones and 3.2+ tablets. It is a video player - you can play your own video files through the app. More importantly, alongside Google Play Music it is Google's answer to iTunes, in that it purports to be a consumer-friendly one-stop shop for movies and TV.
Google Play is different, however. This app is principally a player for movies you rent and a means of helping you to find new movies to watch. The movies themselves can be found on Google Play, and then downloaded to or streamed over Google Play Movies & TV.
Using Google Play Movies & TV
Opening up the Google Play Movies & TV app on our Nexus 7, we find two tabs at the top: 'Movies' and 'Personal Videos'. US users will find a third tab for 'TV Shows' but here in the UK we are not so blessed, for licensing reasons. The Personal Videos section displays videos you create using your Android smartphone or tablet, as well as any videos that you copy over to your device via a USB cable. This is a more likely route for Nexus 7 users, as its camera is a basic webcam for use in video calling. Unfortnately, it's by no means the most versatile video player for Android. You'll need another third-party app in order to play QuickTime movies, for instance.
More fun can be found under the Movies tab. Here are self-explanatory sections entitled My Rentals and My Movies. These display all of your recent Google Play movie rentals, as well as any films you have purchased from the Google Play store (not currently possible for UK users).
Each movie entry includes artwork and information, as well as whether you have downloaded it and how long you have left in order to watch it. Movie rentals cost from £1.49 to £3.49 in standard def, going up to around £4.49 for new Hollywood movies in HD. There are lots of movies in the Google Play store, including recent Hollywood releases and a good number of classics. Once you've rented a movie you can view it on any device - Android phone or tablet, or even at play.google.com/movies on any web-connected PC, laptop or Mac. Watching online is straightforward - sing in to your Google account and you can watch just as you would on your Android device.
We tried streaming 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' on our Nexus 7 over Wi-fi and found the quality perfectly adequate on the 7in tablet's display. Our office's flakey Wi-fi was a problem, however, and playback was occasionally a little jerky. You can also stream over 3G, so truly mobile movie watching is possible, although the signal would have to be robust.
We were more successful when we downloaded 'TT: Closer to the Edge', a movie that then played seamlessly. The rental purchase system is simple, too: you are already logged in to a Google account with either credit or a credit card attached, so you simply hit rent and the movie is yours. We'd recommend the download options for the reasons outlined above. It took around 25 minutes to pull down 'TT' to our Nexus.
The rental system could be confusing to a stupid person. You have to watch rented movies within 30 days of making a purchase. Once you start watching you have 48 hours to finish watching the film - and you can watch the film multiple times throughout that period.
Google Play Movies & TV: Specs
- Tablet: Android OS 3.2 (Honeycomb) or higher
- Internet Connection: Wi-Fi or 3G internet connection. Phone~: Android OS 2.2 (Froyo) or higher, Internet Connection: Wi-Fi or 3G internet connection

It is night time. Dark pitch midnight. Time for the critters and crawlers to rule the land as most of us big people sleep soundly. But what if, just what if you were awake one night, with the courage to walk towards that empty garden near your place? Imagine going there, in the dead of night, with no living organisms other than the viruses and bacteria that infest that land. The grass and trees seem devoid of life in the cold of the pitch black dead night.
And then, from within the darkness, you see a coffin. A coffin, with something in it. No, it isn't your own body, it isn't Dracula or any other vampire. It's just a regular coffin with a bowl full of candy in it.
You ignore the candy obviously, you're not a kid.
You look around the demonic garden with its isolated suffocating aura that seems to get into your head. Your mind begins to wander off into deep thoughts of why and how when suddenly,
A demon eyes you and says, "Come child, we have waited for you."
What would you do....?

Brown - White Sorghum Seed Indian Grain
Sorghum Is An Ancient, 100 Percent Whole Grain Kernel That Is Ground Into A Fine Flour That Can Be Used In Various Ways For Cooking And Baking. While Historically It's Taken A Backseat In The U.S. To Grain Alternatives And Sandwich Substitutes Like Corn, Quinoa Or Potatoes, The Growing Knowledge Of Gluten Sensitivities And The Gluten-Free Diettrend In Recent Years Have Now Brought Sorghum Flour Into The Spotlight.
Sorghum Flour — Which Is Beige Or White In Color, Considered To Be "Sweet," Softly Textured And Mild-Tasting — Is Now A Popular Ingredient Found In Many Health Food Stores And Large Supermarkets. While It'S Still Hard To Find 100 Percent Whole Grain Sorghum Grains In Most Stores, Most Well-Stocked Major Grocery Stores Now Sell Gluten-Free Flour Blends, Including Sorghum Flour, That Are Convenient, Healthy And Perfect For Baking And Other Uses.
Helps To Fight
Eating A Whole Foods-Based Diet That Is High In Available Phytochemicals Is Consistenly Linked To Better Protection From Common Nutrition-Related Diseases Including Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease And Obesity. So It's No Surprise That Epidemiological Evidence Suggests That Sorghum Consumption Reduces The Risk Of Certain Types Of Cancer In Humans Compared To Other Cereals. The High Concentration Of Anti-Inflammatory Phytochemical Antioxidants In Sorghum Are Partly Responsible, As Is The High Fiber And Plant-Based Protein Content, All Of Which Make It A Potential Cancer Natural Remedy.

"The faithful preaching of the gospel is never soothing to the impenitent, so that the removal of an outstanding preacher is commonly a matter of rejoicing for those whose consciences he has troubled." (Leon Morris, The Revelation of St. John, p. 151 commenting on Rev. 11:10.)

Waste management is a core business area for Councils. It encompasses all activities and services that revolve around collecting, disposing and reducing waste. In dealing with waste management Council uses the most effective technologies and methods available whilst striving to protect environmental and public health.
All Tasmanian Councils run some form of garbage collection, recycling service and operate waste transfer stations and/or landfill sites. West Tamar Council runs the Exeter Transfer Station (Biloo Street) and the Beaconsfield Waste Transfer Station (Bowens Jetty Road).
Waste disposal charges are detailed on page 9 of Council's Fees and Charges Schedule available here.
Ratepayers are issued with three complimentary tip tickets each financial year which provides them standard entry to the value of $17 at the Exeter, and Beaconsfield Waste Transfer Stations, and City of Launceston's Waste Centre. All three vouchers may be used at once for large loads to the value of $51, or individual vouchers may be used in conjunction with cash or card payment if it exceeds a standard load. Please note that change won't be provided if the load charge is less than $17.
Further information about Launceston Waste Centre can be found on the City of Launceston Website.
Exeter and Beaconsfield Waste Transfer Stations accept:

West Tamar Council recycles a range of materials at its Exeter and Beaconsfield waste transfer stations. Items that can be recycled at these centres are:
West Tamar Council recycles a range of materials at its Riverside and Beaconsfield Offices. Items that can be recycled at these centres are:
The West Tamar Council supports the drumMUSTER program and has a designated compound at the Beaconsfield Transfer Station. The drumMUSTER program was set up to deal with the problem of empty chemical containers from crop production to animal health products. drumMUSTER is the national program for the collection and recycling of empty, cleaned, non-returnable crop production and on-farm animal health chemical containers. To use this service you MUST:
If you require further information about the program, or cleaning tips for hard-to-clean containers, please visit the drumMUSTER website at www.drummuster.com.au.
Paintback takes unwanted paint tins with wet or dry paint and packaging, and recycles it.
Paintback is an independent not-for-profit organisation which is funded through a 15 cents plus GST per litre levy on eligible products and:
Please responsibly dispose of paint tins in 20L or less at the Exeter and Beaconsfield Waste Transfer Stations, or the Launceston Waste Centre. For further information please visit www.paintback.com.au
Waste such as grease, oils, solvents and chemicals (basically anything except human sewage) should not be put directly into sewerage or on-site wastewater management systems. Liquid trade waste can not be disposed of at the Waste Transfer Stations. If you operate a business that produces quantities of such materials, please contact TasWater.
Reducing Waste
Waste can be reduced by:
Home composting is a good way to significantly reduce your household waste. When composted, food waste and garden clippings decompose to make a great mulch for your garden. You can either make your own compost heap in a shady part of your garden or use a compost bin. Compost bins can be purchased at most hardware stores. Items that can be added to compost include:
The compost should be added in layers, with a layer of food scraps ideally being covered with a layer of grass clippings or leaves. The following items are NOT suitable for composting:
The compost needs moisture and air to decompose effectively. To achieve this, turn it regularly and make sure it is always kept reasonably moist, without being waterlogged.
Worm farms are another way to reduce food and garden waste. Worm castings that result from the worms' decomposition of waste, also make an excellent soil conditioner for your garden. As with compost heaps, a worm farm should be placed in a cool and shady part of the garden. The worms need:
This pH level can usually be achieved quite easily by ensuring a layer of green waste or moist paper or cardboard is regularly added with the food waste. Ensure that paper waste is not bleached or contaminated with any chemicals. Newspapers and cardboard from food packaging are ideal. Most hardware stores and garden centres sell worm farms and worms and will give you advice about how to look after them.
Your co-operation is sought in maintaining the appearance of the community by assisting with the prevention of littering. Many road verges continue to be inundated with litter and it takes considerable effort to restore and maintain their appearance. Severe penalties exist under the Litter Act 1973 for littering and several of Council's officers are appointed as authorised officers for the purpose of abating the problems of refuse dumping and littering in unauthorised areas. You can help by ensuring your garbage is well contained and secure on collection days, keeping the verge clean near your home and picking up and disposing of unsightly litter.

Happy Monday y'all and happy Valentine's week! My Valentine is actually out of town this week so I'll be celebrating this weekend. It seems during the winter month's there's not a lot of exciting things going on so it will be nice to up our date night game for one week.
If you follow me on instagram than you've probably seen me post a lot of stationary and planner goodies lately. I've actually been a stationary addict my entire life but I got into the "glam planning" scene about two years ago. Glam Planning basically means that I don't just writer stuff down in a planner or use my phone to keep up with appointments – I have monthly and weekly layouts decorated with washi, stickers, stamps and markers each week. Some people use kits each week and have no white space in their planner, others use mostly lettering with maybe a few function stamps and stickers – my planning style have developed somewhere in-between.
My current planner is the Mambi Happy Planner which I purchased from Michael's and I have an upgraded cover that was a separate purchase but is also from the Mambi brand. The band is actually a headband from the Dollar Tree and I've added a few stickers for fun.
I think when this planner is out this summer I will switch back to coiled planner such as the Erin Condren life planner – I thought I would like the disc systems because it makes the pages interchangeable but I find that I seldom move pages around and I think a coil is more secure than the discs.
I usually plan on the weekends and spend about an hour setting up my layout for the week. I actually find this quitter relaxing and it makes me feel good going into the week knowing that I have reviewed what's going on this week. Here's what a blank layout looks like in The Happy Planner:
The first thing to do is decide my theme for the week – I usually pick a theme based on something going on that week but if there is no holiday or big event I'll just go with whatever color theme I'm into these days – I been really digging pink and mint together lately and bought a ton of stickers from Michael's in January with this color scheme. For this week I selected from miscellaneous stickers I ordered from Paper Loving Mommy – she has a misfits set that's $15 for 30 sheets – it's mostly functional stickers and checklists but there were about 7 sheets that could be used to create a weekly theme. For this week I knew I wanted to go with a Valentine theme so I picked so sparkle themed boarders. Often I just use washi as my boarder but since I had these stickers I decided to put them to use.
Once the boarder is established I think about how I want to use the layout for the week. My planner has 3 vertical boxes for each day and lately I have been using them for today – to do – meal planning. I tend to have weekly to do instead of things that must be accomplished on a certain day so I will put checklists in two of the middle boxes and use decorative boxes or stickers in the others. I also really like having a weekend banner so I either use a sticker or draw one.
Once the base layout is established I think about what needs to go in my today and meal planning sections. Currently I use the today section to plan out my outfits for the week so I'm using mini checklists to list out the garments for each day and I also use this section to plan out what blog post I want to publish that day. For the bottom section I use this to keep up with the meal plan I am currently on and when I will be eating dinner out and when I will be having the meal plan for dinner, this is also where I track my hydration. Once space is dedicated for these functions I will add a few decorative stickers to accent the layout – this is really just for fun.
Finally it's time to actually write in the planner. As you can see I am eating out twice this week, have not yet decided what to wear Wednesday and Thursday and am still pondering what to blog about Thursday and Friday. – I will probably finish planning out these items tonight.
You could say that planning is hobby since it involves but fun stickers that aren't really necessary but at the same time I feel more productive when I plan for the week – there's a saying that a goal without a plan is just a dream. Right now there's not too much going on outside of work but the busier we are the more I find I "need" planning to keep me on track for whatever goals I may be focused on. I highly recommend it!

The room is filled with coffee lovers, or just lovers in general, or maybe lonely souls longing for connection, just like me. Everyone is gathered in pairs, two bodies, or one body and one device, acting surrogate for a real body's warmth and engagement.
He can't stop smiling, sending his text messages to a secret love, or maybe a distant partner he wishes were across the bar from him. I want some of what he's got.
Ray LaMontagne drifts out of strategically-placed speakers, singing "I will hold you in my arms". I think of Hawaii, the days I spent staring at the hexagonal skylight from the softest bed in the bungalow, earbuds pressing the same lyrics into my brain, setting off dreams of the honeymoon we'd take there, how you'd take my hand and sing to me quietly as we swayed into sleep.
I'm in love with a fantasy, I know. It sustains me in a way reality never could.
She's reading a magazine or a newspaper, re-dipping her teabag into a lukewarm cup, pushing a wild thatch of hair away from her forehead and tucking it behind one ear. Now and then I spy her glancing over the top of the page, reaching out through the bubble around her, quickly casting her eyes back down. She's afraid to hit her target. Afraid to miss it entirely. Afraid, afraid.
They're clearly in love. He surrounds her with his right arm and leans in for a kiss, marking her on his way up to the coffee counter. Mine, he says. All mine. She seems to enjoy the safety of being owned in a way I know I never could. All I know is holding. I have no idea how to be held.
I turn back to my laptop screen. Everyone is gathered in pairs.

According to the NASA, Nicolaus Copernicus developed the heliocentric theory of astronomy and determined that Earth rotates on its axis. Born in 1473, Copernicus is known as the father of astronomy, paving the way for other astronomers, such as Galileo, to make later advancements.
According to NASA, Nicolaus Copernicus is most famous for the heliocentric, also known as sun-centered, theory of astronomy. The heliocentric theory is the theory that the planets orbit around the sun. Before Copernicus, the main scientific belief was Ptolemy's geocentric theory, which stated that Earth was the center of the universe and that the sun and planets revolved around it. Because his theory directly opposed what the majority of people believed, Copernicus faced a great deal of opposition from both the Catholic Church and the scientific community of the 15th century.
Because Copernicus did not have access to a telescope and was forced to observe the sky with the naked eye, he could not prove the heliocentric theory and died in 1543 before it was proven correct. By the 17th century, however, future astronomers, such as Galileo, were able to prove Copernicus' geocentric theory as correct by using both observations from telescopes and breakthroughs in physics.

GM's success dependent on California market
As the nation's No. 1 auto market, California has long been key to General Motors' business plan, but the state's environmentally conscious consumers might be even more important to GM's post-bankruptcy fortunes.
On Wednesday, the automaker launched a national TV advertising campaign touting its future as a "leaner, greener, faster, smarter" company. Given California's status as the nation's top green car market, GM hopes to reach the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of motorists statewide.
"California is a lot more environmentally conscious and tends to buy more hybrids than other (states)," said Jesse Toprak, executive director of industry analysis for Edmunds.com, a Santa Monica-based auto information site.
"That will be very important for GM as it tries to regain market share not just from Toyota and Honda, but Ford is also emerging as a very viable competitor."
And the state could be just as important to Chrysler, which is basing much of its post-bankruptcy strategy on selling small, fuel-efficient cars in conjunction with Italian automaker Fiat.
GM already has shed brands that hamper its overall fuel-mileage ratings – Hummer in particular – and will focus on a core group of Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. Three of those brands have gas-electric hybrids in their 2009 lineups – Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Silverado, Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon.
The highlight of the green strategy is the upcoming Chevrolet Volt, a plug-in electric designed to travel 40 miles on a single charge, before a three-cylinder gas engine takes over to recharge a lithium-ion battery pack. The car hits the market for the 2010 model year.

This odd headline in PCWorld, "Windows 7's Market Share Gains Start to Slow," reminds me again that the enterprise software and IT market-share silly season is upon us. On May 7 I posted about the Gartner absurdity that BEA was one of the leading middleware providers of 2008,except for that little problem that its growth rate plummeted vs. 2007.
Of course, Windows 7 market share can't change trajectory because it is not yet in the market place. And there really isn't a Window 7 market separate from Vista, XP, ME, etc. anyway. And a measurement based on how one company's -- NetAppllications -- clients access certain Web sites is totally unscientific. These are just a few of the problems with PCWorld's highly parsed headline and less than thoroughly reported article.
These two examples are extremes; other misleading market share information is more subtle. But what does enterprise software market share mean and does it matter to anyone but the vendors involved? If the answers matter to IT managers and staffs in some sense other than bragging rights, then it is worth digging deeper. Some of the subtle sidebars of the market-share discussion include where is the product used, what is the metric (money, units shipped, renewal rates, etc.), what does middleware (plug in your favorite IT buzzword) even mean?
The easy answer to the "does it matter to IT folks?" question is: if it matters to your suppliers, it matters to you. Suppliers you have invested in heavily go out of business based on market share statistics (you might be having the same issue if you are thinking of buying a new GM or Chrysler product). Or they are less able to maintain or upgrade your software.
And ultimately, based on market share, Eurocrats and apparently the Obamanistas may fine them out of existence (or at least raise your costs) if some market share statistics are twisted from "a large majority of us like this product" to "if a large majority of IT folks like a product, its developer must be breaking the anti-trust laws." The latter is a particularly bad use of market share data because it means governments pick and choose which enterprise and consumer software and other IT products you can use.
As the market share silly season continues, I'll keep an eye out for other examples. Consider: Is Quickbooks still the leading ERP software? How rapidly is Google-funded Chrome overtaking Google-funded Firefox? Is IBM's Linux business overtaking its mainframe-software business? If you have any questions like that, do not hesitate to e-mail me or leave a comment.

The Mission to Exis Station was a mission by a team of Jedi under Tionne Solusar and Ikrit to Exis Station in 22 ABY. Its primary objective was to retrieve the Jedi trainee Uldir Lochett—who had joined Mage Orloc since he believed that the Mage would be able to awaken the Force powers within him and access the Old Republic Jedi Master Asli Krimsan's holocron;tasks which nobody at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 had been able to do so.
Uldir then stole Ikrit's ship Sunrider and the two Jedi artifacts recovered during the previous adventure at Bast Castle on Vjun— Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber and the holocron of the ancient Jedi Master Asli Krimsan. Having arrived at the derelict space city, Uldir found Orloc whom took the youth as his student. The Mage had already set up his base on the moon and planned to create his own Jedi Order. In reality, Orloc had no Force powers but had actually used high-tech gimmicks to deceive others with demonstrations of so called "Force power." Uldir did not realize it.
New Jedi Order historian Tionne, Master Ikrit, the droid R2-D2 and Jedi trainees Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila set out to find Uldir on their transport Jemlaat-class yacht. Having arrived at the ancient Exis Station, they tried to convince Uldir that he had been deceived by Mage Orloc. The Mage attacked the four Jedi with his high-tech gimmicks and his Ranat mercenaries and servant droids. However, the Jedi fought back by using the Force.
During the duel, Tionne was wounded and Ikrit—who had sworn not to wield a lightsaber until he had found worthy students—made his decision and join Anakin and Tahiri in their fight. Uldir then saw that Orloc was little more than a charlatan who used technological gimmiks to deceive others with demonstrations of power. Together, the Jedi defeated Orloc who disappeared and was never heard of again. Successful in their mission, the Jedi returned to the Praxeum with a triumphant Lochett and the two recovered Jedi artifacts.
Earlier, a Jedi mission to Bast Castle on the remote Outer Rim world of Vjun led by Jedi historian Tionne had recovered two Jedi artifacts—the lightsaber of the Clone Wars-era Jedi Knight and Jedi Purge survivor Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, during the mission, the Jedi had encountered a "Mage" Orloc—a former Imperial Intelligence agent and false Prophet of the Dark Side who had survived a massacre by Grand Admiral Afsheen Makati. Claiming to have Force powers, the Mage sparred with the Jedi team before disappearing into a trap door[1]The Jedi team then returned to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV.[2][3]
When Tionne and her team returned to the Jedi Praxeum with Kenobi's blade and Krimsan's holocron, Luke Skywalker welcomed her back,[2] but he soon had to leave on another mission to investigate the whereabouts of the Jedi expedition Outbound Flight which was rumoured to have ended up in the Unknown Regions.[4] While waiting for Skywalker to return, Tionne decided to reward Anakin Solo, Tahiri Veila, and Uldir Lochett for helping her retrieve the holocron by letting them watch while she began to explore its secrets.[5]
Activating the device, Tionne asked the gatekeeper to speak about herself. The gatekeeper told the Jedi about Asli Krimsan and the purpose the holocron had been constructed for. In doing so, she mentioned the Jedi library on Exis Station, which Tionne then asked about, and the device projected a hologram of what the ancient library used to look like. Lochett mentioned that the Mage Orloc was from Exis Station. Tionne was surprised and put down the holocron to question Lochett, deciding not to access Krimsan's holocron again until Skywalker returned, since the gatekeeper had mentioned that it was intended for the use of Jedi Masters. Instead, she placed both the holocron and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber in Skywalker's quarters.[5]
Lochett, who wished to become a Jedi but was not Force-sensitive, thought Krimsan's holocron could help him in his quest. During the night, he crept into Skywalker's empty quarters and tried to access the holocron. Unable to do so, he decided to steal both Jedi artifacts and go to Exis Station to see if the mysterious Orloc could teach him how to use the Force. To reach Exis Station, Lochett stole the Sunrider, a ship belonging to Jedi Master Ikrit. In the morning, his friends discovered that he and the Sunrider were missing. While they immediately suspected he had gone to Exis Station, the Jedi spent the rest of the day searching the grounds of the Praxeum for him. When Lochett did not turn up, Tionne, Ikrit, Solo, Veila, and R2-D2 traveled to Exis Station on Tionne's vessel, the Lore Seeker, to retrieve him.[5][3]
As soon as Uldir Lochett arrived on Exis Station, he was captured by Ranats working for Orloc. They threw a sack over his head, injected him with a drug to render him unconscious, and carried him further into the station. The Ranats brought him to Orloc, who questioned him. Lochett then offered Orloc Krimsan's holocron and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber in exchange for teaching him magic. The Mage suspected a trap by the Jedi, but accepted Lochett as his student. When Orloc was given Krimsan's holocron in return, he unsuccessfully attempted to activate it. To disguise his failure, he claimed to Lochett that his own powers were far greater than the teachings of the Jedi. He told Lochett to concentrate on light, and the lights on the station dimmed. Encouraged by his apparent success, Lochett eagerly sought further instruction.[5][3]
Soon, Lochett's friends arrived on the station to rescue him and retrieve the stolen Jedi artifacts. Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila observed Lochett training with Orloc from an air duct grating high above the Mage and his pupil. However, their combined weight caused the pair to fall from the ceiling into the midst of Orloc and his Ranat and droid servants. Tionne and Ikrit jumped down from the ceiling to follow the children and telekinetically confiscated Krimsan's holocron and Kenobi's lightsaber. Furious, Orloc set his minions on the Jedi team, and the Jedi fled with the artifacts through a series of corridors into Orloc's control room. Orloc's forces engaged them there, and the Mage used his technological devices to unleash driving wind, steam jets, holographic enemies, and other hazards on the Jedi. During the fight, the Jedi lost possession of Krimsan's holocron while Tionne was wounded.[5][3]
With Solo, Veila and R2-D2 fighting alone against Orloc's Ranat henchmen, droids and gimmicks, Ikrit—who had sworn not to wield a lightsaber until he had found worthy students—made his decision and entered the fight. Seeing true Jedi in action, Lochett joined the fight on the side of the Jedi and retrieved Krimsan's holocron from the floor. He tossed it to Veila, and it activated at her touch. The holocron projected an image of Asli Krimsan that filled the entire room. This helped Anakin Solo see past Orloc's holograms to reach the Mage. Solo then destroyed the devices on Orloc's costume that controlled most of his mechanical wonders. Using his last trick, Orloc produced a puff of smoke to distract the Jedi and escape.[3] Krimsan's holocron and Kenobi's lightsaber where returned to the Jedi Praxeum,[5] where the latter was later studied in depth by Tionne while the former's design was utilized by future Jedi apprentices including Anakin Solo and his older sister Jaina Solo.[6]

As you've seen from watching major sporting events (or if you're like me and my physical therapist, on a personal level) sports injuries can range from mildly annoying to career-stopping, which is why we're big on proper warm-ups, stretching and listening to your body. This April is National Youth Sports Safety Month and tennis pro Sloane Stephens has teamed up with Johnson & Johnson to promote the new Donate a Photo app and the organization Safe Kids Worldwide. With the free Donate a Photo app, all you have to do is share a photo and J&J will donate $1 to the charity of your choice.
Like any athlete, Stephens stresses the importance of staying injury-free, which is why she chose to work with Safe Kids Worldwide. The organization helps teach kids, and their parents and coaches, how to protect against sports injuries at Safe Kids Sports Clinics. "Staying injury free is important to me and I want to help kids know what to do and stay preventative," she said. The pro swears by proper warm-ups before training and icing after workouts to stay in top shape.
All you need to do is download the free app on your iPhone or Android, upload a photo (you can share up to one a day, every day) and a donation will be made. You can also view other shared photos at the Donate a Photo gallery and learn more about the campaign here.

Sony Ericsson T68i
As the first cell phone in the U.S. with Bluetooth connectivity, the Sony Ericsson T68i is worth investing in just for the convenience of the wireless protocol: It lets you sync your data automatically or connect a wireless headset. The T68i also supports EMS and MMS, two protocols that let you send multimedia messages between phones effortlessly. The coolest part, though, is the optional CommuniCam mobile camera MCA-20 ($150), which snaps onto the bottom of the phone and uses the LCD to display the pictures it captures. Later, you can append your photos to the address book and match each photo to a name; then the caller ID function will really show you who's calling. With all these features, and at this price, does a color-screen cell phone seem so extravagant?
Read our full review of the Sony Ericsson T68i.

bringing 2 U events & happenings in and around Ipoh … & beyond…
I took my first Uber ride in Ipoh some weeks ago to try out the system. My trip was from Impiana Hotel Ipoh to Home. As soon as I placed my request, my Uber driver called me up to confirm if I really did book a Uber and asked me for my location. I said yes, I did request for a ride and that I am at Impiana Hotel Ipoh. He didn't know where that is and said that if the GPS has accurately marked my location, he would be able to locate me.
The driver arrived a few minutes later and I actually could see his car icon on my Uber app turning in to the hotel. I chatted with him and asked him if he is not from Ipoh, since he doesn't know Impiana Hotel. Turned out that he lives in Tanjung Tualang and comes to Ipoh daily. He said that if I had told him the nearest landmark, he would have found it easily. Well, Impiana Hotel is already a major landmark, where else did he want me to say?
Anyway, since he wasn't local, I had to point him the way to my home, which I took a shortcut rather than depended on the GPS of the application which would take us on a roundabout way. During the trip, he got so friendly that he even asked me why I was at the hotel. Like, duh!
From my screenshots, you can see that it is very easy to use Uber, but you do need to have internet connection on your phone in order for it to work. And I just want to point out that my Uber driver looked nothing like the photo he had uploaded onto his profile. This discrepancy has been detected by a few of my other friends during their Uber rides too. I think Uber has to be more stringent with driver profiles.
As soon as the driver keys in that he has dropped off his rider, my fare was deducted from my credit card, which I had pre-entered into my application. A receipt was also generated and sent to me by email. It was all very seamless.
By the way, according to my driver, it is better to opt for payment by credit card as it is charged according to the fare. If one were to pay by cash, the amount is rounded up to the higher Ringgit.
If you would like to use Uber, sign up HERE and enjoy a free Uber ride worth RM20 (code: EMILY2U). This promotion is valid for first time riders only. Enjoy!

I am glad to see that Uber expend to Ipoh, feel to try it out too
WOW! Great news for Ipoh lang and fellow travelers too, no need to pay fixed price taxi already since there is Uber. Hope they will expand to Melaka too
i love Uber, save me a lot of trouble all the time and super convenient, it'll be nice when it covers whole Malaysia too
never try uber before. So many good feedback. wanna try later.
I will try using Uber tomorrow and some of my friend mention is easy to use.
It is very convenient to use, sometimes I will take Uber too 🙂
I haven't tried any of the car services as my friends are always so nice to pick me up. I heard the service is good and I do agree with you that the picture of the driver should match!
Is Uber still operate in Ipoh?
Yes, it is.
Thank Emily,
What about Grab? We communicated before last year asking about moving around within Ipoh. This time we (5 of us) are passing by Ipoh enroute to Sungai Siput on Mid Mar/16.
We are using YoYo bus from KLIA to Ipoh (AMANJAYA) and need reliable transport straight to Sungai Siput the same day. Any recommendation?
Grab is not available in Ipoh yet. You can probably take the taxi to Sungai Siput from Terminal Amanjaya. Won't be cheap but there's five of you.
Hi Emily,
Thanks for the info so far.
We're arriving at Ipoh airport in about 2 weeks time.
Can't decide whether to take the coach/bus at amanjaya bus terminal to Cameron highlands or hire a private car like uber?
Read that the schedules for the buses are irregular even if they say 10am departure but the buses came in 1-2 hrs later.
Also, can I ask if I can buy the bus tickets from the bus terminal or only can buy online?
Appreciate your asap reply.
Or can you provide any reliable n safe transportation.
Thanks alot
hi…how can download uber service in ipoh

How can we help you?
(919) 833-1040
The National Football League (NFL) is planning to impose harsher punishments on players who are convicted of domestic violence, an article in the Washington Post reported on August 13.
Under the new policy, players who commit domestic violence for the first time may face suspension from four to six games without being paid, while those who repeat the offense may face suspension for an entire season. The possible disciplinary policy changes in the NFL are being considered after Ray Rice was suspended for two games when he physically assaulted Janay Palmer last February. A league spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.
The Raleigh divorce lawyers of Marshall & Taylor Law Firm, P.C., provide legal protection to domestic violence victims. If you have been a victim of intimate partner violence, our lawyers can help you secure the assistance and protection you need. Contact our compassionate team today by calling (919) 833-1040 and learn more about your legal options.

The portfolio shake-up at the Samwer incubator Rocket Internet doesn't seem to be slowing. After their business in Turkey came to a sudden halt less than two weeks ago, it looks like Dubai is next in line, with the Samwers' Amazon clone in Dubai, Mizado, to be brought under Namshi, previously a regional brand for Rocket's fashion retailer Zalando. At the same time, Jumia, another Amazon clone, has launched in Egypt.
Rocket Internet: New focus on North Africa
Rocket Internet's Amazon clone in Dubai, Mizado, will now run under the roof of their second business in the Emirates, Namshi. The site will now sell both fashion and electronics, thus combining the Amazon and Zappos models used by the two ventures.
"The Middle East is a very attractive market for Rocket Internet, with a proven track record. Currently, we are active with two ventures in the region, Mizado.com and Namshi.com, which are both performing very well," Rocket Internet head of PR Andreas Winiarski told VentureVillage, when asked to comment on the Mizado closing. "To leverage economies of scale, we will focus our e-commerce activities under the stronger brand Namshi.com."
It seems more than likely that there will be job losses as part of the merger – though how many is unclear at this point.
New Amazon clone begins in Egypt
In more upbeat news: Rocket Internet is also launching a new Amazon clone, Jumia, in Egypt. There's a bit of name switching going on here, too – Jumia is currently available in Nigeria, Morocco and Egypt, but in Nigeria at least it comes as a rebranding of Kasuwa, apparently due to local copyright issues.
The recent deal between Rocket Internet and mobile carrier Millicom acts as backdrop to current activity in the Middle East and North Africa. Millicom, which, like Rocket, counts Swedish investment bank AB Kinnevik as a significant shareholder, bought shares in Rocket Internet's Latin American and African holding companies for €340 million (for the first half of both companies). The deal also gives the Samwers' the option of a complete exit from both holding companies, at fair market value, by no later than 2016.
With that in mind, and portfolio shake-ups in the Middle East, it seems the Samwers are doing what they do best: following the money trail.

Confession Time
Greetings all. A few of us met last Monday for good pie and even better discussion. We talked about the second half of Early Christian Writings (i.e. The Epistle of Polycarp through The Didache) and an number of other thoughts more or less tangentially related thereunto. We also decided that our next book would be Confessions by Augustine of Hippo. After the Bible, Confessions, which is Augustine's autobiography and the testimony of how he became a believer, is probably the best known and most widely read of all the early Christian writings. It's a great book and I'm looking forward to reading it again. It's longer than our previous selections but it's probably easier reading through the first three quarters. It is available to read online here or here. Of course it's available through Amazon and through libraries. If you're having trouble getting access to a copy I have a couple I'm willing to loan. Let's plan to meet next on Monday night, July 12 at 7:30 at the Libertyville Baker's Square. Try to read Books 1-5 ("books" more or less means "chapters" here) by then.

Ford dealership personnel now are armed with plain-language explanations of the variations among the dual-clutch transmission and standard automatic gearboxes. If your transmission has reached the finish of the road and demands to be rebuilt or replaced, you have 4 repair choices: a new transmission (very expensive and may possibly not be available from a new car dealer), getting your old transmission rebuilt, replacing your old transmission with a remanufactured transmission, or replacing your old transmission with a utilised transmission from a salvage yard.
So final week I went to a Toyota Dealer and traded in my BMW 328xi for a Toyota Camry 2015 on a lease for three years, and I will see what takes place at that time! So….I would steer clear of these turds unless spending days in the repair shop and arguing with Nissan techs is on your 'to do' list. As the name suggests, this sort of transmission automatically shifts the gear with out the driver shifting any levers or pedals.
In fact, the majority of Honda owners with transmission problems are saying the torque converter is failing and essentially burning up the transmission fluid, rendering the whole transmission useless. There are a handful of feasible causes for this and if you can discover the exact cause soon then you have a possibility of fixing it without additional damage to the transmission. A manual transmission is the sort that makes use of a clutch that is operated by the driver. Want to acquire a coil pack for the engine and a new transmission which fortunately I know how to do it all. Fixing widespread transmission slip issues is simple as soon as you have determined the lead to.
If your fluid level is very good and the fluid is red and vibrant then your problem possibly runs deeper in your transmission and your only choice would be to take it to a transmission specialist. If you notice any of these issues, speak to Norm Reeves Hyundai Superstore today for transmission services in Cerritos , CA. Drivers will notice this frequent transmission difficulty at any time although they drive.
I took a loss on the Kelley Blue Book, the book said $9,000.00 with 84,800.00 miles but we bargain and they paid off my loan, so basically I am starting over with for complete upkeep coverage but they know that most automobiles have no difficulties for three years except oil adjustments, and brakes, and standard wear and tear! The service advisor scheduled a warranty check out, and the transmission control module was reprogrammed. I have owned my 2015 ford fiesta for almost a full year now and it has been an completely outstanding auto!

Brody's tavern is a makeshift tavern built by Adam Brody after being stranded on Destiny. Using various spare parts, he devised a still to produce a very potent moonshine for the crew. He has set up shop in an empty room, which has tables and benches for those who visit.
Brody built his tavern during the two-week period of inactivity while the damage to Destiny's Faster-Than-Light engine was repaired. (SGU: "Sabotage")
A while later Colonel Everett Young brought Colonel David Telford to the tavern and tried to get him drunk so he could get information from him about the Lucian Alliance. (SGU: "Subversion")
After the Lucian Alliance incursion, Brody privately supplies Young with moonshine from the still, as well as Lt. Tamara Johansen with exceptionally strong alcohol for disinfection use in the infirmary. (SGU: "Pathogen", "Trial and Error")
