The Digital Arts Experience hosted an event in their 8,000 square ft. facility on September 12th, 2012 that focused on the great organizational tool, Evernote. Rob Kissner headlined the event by leading the group with his expert knowledge and presentation skills. Special guest Stacy Geisinger of stacyknows.com spoke beforehand on the importance of staying up to date with the latest digital and social media outlets. She stressed that it is easy to learn by simply 'googling' a question, watching a video tutorial on YouTube, or tinkering around. You can't always depend on asking your kids, and you shouldn't be intimidated to learn something new with technology. It is constantly changing, and even tech savvy people learn new things all the time.
Rob went through all of the basic features of Evernote – including: creating notebooks, adding notes to notebooks, text formatting notes, encrypting text for security, syncing between all of your devices, dragging and dropping items into notes, using the web clipper, and more. After, he highlighted the mobile app version of Evernote and its user interface. To finish, he conducted a brief overview of 3rd party applications that are all compatible with Evernote – such as GeniusScan: an application that records images of business cards, receipts, photos, and has the ability to automatically sync it into Evernote.

The Walla Walla appellation is very special. Its outstanding reds were what first put Washington on the world wine map. The wines are now grouped with world standard reds from Bordeaux, Napa and Sonoma. Walla Walla Cabernets and Merlots consistently rank in top 10 lists of the finest from the Americas.
Our Bare Ridge offering is the classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet and Merlot but typifies the unique Walla Walla profile of intense fruit and spice flavours and aromatics. Notes of currant, cherry and plum are backed by hints of black pepper, anise and coffee. Two–stage French and Hungarian oaking nicely mellows the tannins and adds a suggestion of toastiness.

Cuvier's History of the Natural Sciences|
Introduction to the first edition
Texte intégral
1It was generally desired that someone –other than the professor, who did not have the time– take charge of publishing this methodical exposition of the development of the natural sciences from the beginning up to the present time. Two or three months after the course began, people –men famous for their works– spoke to me about satisfying that desire, urged me to it even forcefully, and so I wrote to Monsieur le Baron Cuvier about it. On 10 April 1830, he honored me with a response: that he had no personal reason for preventing me from publishing his lectures, but that it would be necessary to avoid the mass of errors in chronology and names of authors that had slipped into the newspaper articles [cf. the bibliography at the end of this volume]; for otherwise my work would have little usefulness.
2I had made the same observations as Monsieur Cuvier, while reading the newspapers, and it had seemed to me entirely possible to avoid giving rise to such errors. Therefore, I took it upon myself to re-examine the transcription made of each of his lectures. The printing of the second part of the course has just been finished, and has proved –or at least I believe it proves, and this is the opinion of those of Monsieur Cuvier's students with whom I am acquainted– that I was not mistaken in thinking it possible to reproduce accurately the lectures of this professor, renowned for his many honors.
3I hope that the first part, which is brought to light today, will present the words of this public sage with the same fidelity. In the second part I almost always kept Monsieur Cuvier's phraseology, his locutions, his terms, and even some of the repetitions that he had used as transitions; I made no change in his impromptu passages –which were somewhat careless for a man of his talent but always quite clear– except when it was impossible to do otherwise, in order that they be equally comprehensible whether reading the course or hearing it. In the third part, which will be published at the same time as the first part, I shall proceed likewise. I shall give a portrait, if one may speak thus, of the professor's impromptus.
4In the lectures that cover Antiquity and the Middle Ages, however, this fidelity of expression was not possible for me because, as is well known in Paris, these lectures were not taken down in writing: I have done them according to analytical notes and in drawing upon the same sources as the professor. Using my liberty as editor I have even compressed the expression of thought, I have written the notes in a more concise style, and as a result they are somewhat shorter than the others. In saying that these lectures are written with more conciseness, I do not mean to claim them as superior to those that have already been published – I wish simply to give the reason for their relative brevity.

"It's too much for the city to handle on its own, and I'm hearing that from mayors across Canada," says Kennedy Stewart
Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart says both Victoria and Ottawa must heed his city's calls for more funding and substantive policy changes to stem the death toll of overdoses from illicit drugs.
"I'll keep yelling until we get the help we need here," he said of the provincial and federal governments' role. "It's too much for the city to handle on its own, and I'm hearing that from mayors across Canada."
Last week, Stewart's overdose emergency task force endorsed expanding a safer prescription supply of opioids and decriminalizing drug possession while requested millions in funding, measures he said provincial and federal authorities are "skittish" to act on.
Stewart said requests to the province to fund two recent project proposals went unanswered and that little federal funding has made it to Vancouver, which he calls the "epicentre" of Canada's overdose crisis.
Last week, his council voted to request millions in funding from the federal government, including $1.3 million to fund VSB resiliency programs for youth.
He said city revenue isn't enough to address the crisis when added strain on emergency services is factored in.
"It hits the road here," he said. "I was a federal MP for seven years, and most of the debate at the House of Commons is theoretical — it's about giant pots of money. Here, it's on the ground."
Safe supply entails prescribing or distributing drugs to users, either in a therapy setting or as an alternative to street-level drugs that could be contaminated with fentanyl or other additives.
In April, a report from provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry urged the provincial government to decriminalize drug possession.
Last year, federal chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said the government was working with provinces to explore a "safer supply" through opioid substitution therapies, wherein legal drugs are prescribed as an alternative to illicit ones often contaminated with fentanyl or other deadly substances
Over 1,500 deaths occurred in B.C. last year as a result of illicit drugs, and while the death rate has dipped in 2019 the actual number of overdoses has not.
"Almost all the illegal opioids circulating, at least in Vancouver, are contaminated with fentanyl," said Vancouver Coastal Health chief medical officer Dr. Patricia Daly.
The health authority recommended expanding opioid substitute therapy options and decriminalization, among other measures in its latest annual report.
The federal government recently introduced therapy involving hydromorphone and announced $22.5 million in funding to explore safe supply options last month, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he does not plan to consider decriminalization.
In a statement to Postmedia, Health Canada said its investments would "increase access to pharmaceutical-grade medications as a safer alternative to the contaminated illegal drug supply in Canada" and that it had loosened restrictions to accessing hydromorphone and diacetylmorphine, or prescription heroin, in response to the crisis.
Provincial Solicitor General Mike Farnworth deferred Henry's recommendations to the federal government.
The Ministry of Mental Health and addictions said it's working on implementing other recommendations in Daly's report including expanding safe drug checking. It deferred responsibility on decriminalization to the federal government but noted it is working with police services in Vancouver, Abbotsford and Vernon to connect people to "substance use services in those communities, instead of the criminal justice system."
"There is no silver bullet to end this crisis, but we're exploring all options to save more lives, and connect more people to treatment and recovery," said the statement.
Stewart said while the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has been supportive of Vancouver's statements, he acknowledges other provinces and mayors hold different views and that questions of "jurisdiction" have hamstrung the process.
"Not all mayors, not all premiers or federal leaders are clear on this," said Stewart.
Donald MacPherson, executive director of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition, said in a previous interview with Postmedia that expanding safe supply was "integral" to reducing deaths, even though he recognizes many provincial governments do not support it.
"I understand the risks of broadening it exist," he said. "I think the risks of not doing it are far greater."

If there was ever any doubt, we now know that I am really on the transplant list at Duke!! We had our first dry run last night.
Got a call at 4:36PM yesterday afternoon and were told to report to the hospital as soon as possible. Lungs may be available!! Arrived at the hospital before 5:30 and got checked in to the short stay area. Had to put on one of those awful hospital gowns and then had all of the necessary blood work, chest Xray and vitals done. Then the wait began.
At 2:30AM this morning we got a call from the coordinators and we found out that when they arrived to actually harvest the lungs they decided they were not acceptable. Duke will only take the best and I like that!! So we were mustered out and allowed to go home.
This was very scary for me but at least now I know what to expect and how the process works.
Keep praying for us that we will get some great lungs soon!!

If your child bought something in an app from Amazon's app store without your permission, you may get your money back.
On Tuesday, the Federal Trade Commission announced that refunds are now available for parents whose children made in-app purchases, like buying upgrades in mobile games purchased through Amazon's app store, without their knowledge from November 2011 and May 2016.
The FTC says consumers eligible for refunds should have been contacted by Amazon via email, but can check Amazon's site to confirm their status. Consumers have until May 28, 2018 to submit a request for a refund.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, Who Tipped Off Illegal Aliens to ICE Sweep, Faces Lawsuit
The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) will file a lawsuit Monday seeking to force Oakland, California, to produce documents related to its mayor Libby Schaaf's decision to tip off illegal aliens to a major enforcement action in February, IRLI Executive Director Dale Wilcox revealed for the first time on Sirius XM's Breitbart News Sunday.
We're "tired of these state and local jurisdictions who are thumbing their nose at our duly enacted immigration laws," Wilcox told Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Amanda House.
In February, a San Francisco Bay-wide operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) aimed at criminal illegal aliens netted 232 apprehensions, including 115 with serious criminal records.
But, according to ICE Director Thomas Homan, more than 800 others escaped after Libby Schaaf broke the secrecy of the action, explicitly in order to protect illegals from discovery

Voter cards concern Jersey County residents
JERSEYVILLE — New voter registration cards arriving in the mail are concerning several Jersey County residents, according to county clerk candidate Pam Warford.
Warford said the cards, which are the same size and shape as many campaign mailers citizens have been getting, are arriving too late to be effective for this year's elections.
"They should have sent them out months ago or a year ago," Warford said. "It looks a lot like a political mailer."
Warford provided a photograph of the registration card adjacent to a political mailer to the Telegraph. According to the photograph, the mailer and the registration card were identical in both size and shape. She said the registration card also included an application to serve as an election judge.
"It's way too late to recruit an election judge, five or six days before the election," Warford said.
Warford believes the cards, which bear the name of the current county clerk, Steve Pohlman, are indirectly campaign fliers for Pohlman that utilized taxpayer dollars.
"They get his name as county clerk to all voters in the area," she said.
Pohlman acknowledged that the registration cards were costly in a phone interview with the Telegraph.
"The postage was $4,800," Pohlman said. "I'm not sure how much the cardstock itself was."
Pohlman said that the registration cards do not have any sort of hidden agenda. He said that he sent the voter registration files to Omaha-based company, Election Systems and Software as soon as the registration period ended. ESS provides services for election equipment in the United States. According to Pohlman, the files were sent on Oct. 7, the cut-off date for registration.
"We print cards so everyone can have them," Pohlman said. "They are not for any political purpose of any kind."
Pohlman said that he has been working with ESS since the files were sent. He said that he maintained a lengthy correspondence with the company to assure that everything on the cards was correct before sending them. He added that election judges would be needed in elections beyond the upcoming one.
"We are always looking for judges," Pohlman said. "We figured this would be the easiest way to recruit people."
Pohlman said the cards were pretty standard and are sent every year or two to assure that all registered voters in Jersey County have one.
According to Calhoun County Clerk Rita Hagen, Pohlman's actions were not necessarily out of the ordinary. Hagen said that the law requires that these cards are sent to voters at least once every two years in order to purge voter registrations. Hagen added that Calhoun County would not send the cards at this time, however.
"Each county clerk office operates in different ways," Hagen said. "I wouldn't necessarily say it's unusual."
Hagen said that Calhoun County sends their voter registration cards on odd-numbered years between major elections.
"You have less to do in odd-numbered years," Hagen said. "It's easier to purge voter registrations then."
Hagen said there is nothing wrong with Jersey County's decision to send the voter registration cards at this time.
Warford said that such an action is unprecedented in Jersey County, especially regarding voters who have been registered for years within the county at the same addresses. Warford said she is one such voter, and the 10 residents from across the county she has consulted about the matter are in similar circumstances.

A large U.S. study has found that taking anti-depressants increases women's risk of stroke.
The study was based on 136,293 women between the ages of 50 and 79. They were followed for an average of six years as part of the Women's Health Initiative study. Women on anti-depressants were 45 per cent more likely to have a stroke than women not taking these medications. Stroke risk was still considered fairly low for individual women, but over large populations, the finding is significant.
It could be that depression itself raises risk of stroke, so how much risk is associated with the medications is still being studied.
Stroke risk did not vary between two major types of anti-depressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic anti-depressants (TCAs), the study found, though SSRIs were linked more strongly to hemorrhagic stroke — a type of stroke involving a bleed in the brain. Researchers were quick to point out that women who have been prescribed anti-depressants by a doctor should not stop taking them, but rather discuss with their physicians the risks and benefits.
It's possible to reduce risk of stroke by exercising more frequently, maintaining a healthy diet, reducing blood pressure, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake, according to many stroke experts.

Good Extra Activities to Place on Your CV
Published: 25 Jun 2017
Whenever you apply for a new job you essentially enter into a competition with every other person applying for that job. Your aim is to get to the top of the heap and your first step is to make sure that your CV looks as impressive as possible.
Of course, your education and previous work experiences all play an important part in making your CV look great, but you should cast your net out a little further than that. The extra activities that you can list on the CV are what will give a potential employer more insight into who you are as a person and how you commit your time outside of work.
There are a few extracurricular activities that will really stand out when applying for a job, so here are some good ones to have on the CV.
Any sort of sport on your CV is a good thing. Participating in a sport shows a certain level of dedication, especially if you play in an organized league or something similar. Depending on the sport, you can also show your understanding of teamwork and show the employer that you have the ability to both dedicate yourself to a task and get it done. List any sports you take part in, with any achievements that you have earned.
Writing and Speaking
Creativity will also be valued in the workplace, as will communication skills. Anything that demonstrates these abilities will go over well with employers. Perhaps you occasionally conduct speeches for a local organization, or you maintain a blog where you jot down your thoughts on something that interest you. It may not always seem like the most relevant thing when you are applying for a job, but these sorts of activities can actually offer a major boost to your chances of getting employed. After all, they show that you can communicate with others in multiple ways and demonstrate the ability to come up with creative solutions.
Volunteering Work
Any volunteering work that you can get involved in will always look good on your CV. Not only do you demonstrate admirable dedication to a cause, which always serves you well, but you also show that you're willing to go above and beyond without expecting a direct reward. Any employer will look at your volunteering activities and consider how you can apply the skills you use in that work to the role. For medical professionals, anything that includes working directly with people in need will tend to reflect well on your CV.
A Foreign Language
We are living in an increasingly connected and multicultural world, which means knowledge of a second language will always prove advantageous when applying for a new job. For one, you have to show a great deal of dedication to achieve any level of proficiency in another language, which employers will see as something that you could apply to the role. For another, having another language under your belt makes you more flexible and increases the uses the organization may have for you.

I am typing this with tired eyes as my husband sleeps and I try to fight my own. I want this dream but how do I fit it into my already busy life?
One kid ago, I use to wake up at FIVE in the morning, go the gym, come back home, pack lunches, feed a baby, drop the then eight year old and one year old off at the sitters, go work a full time job, pick children up, cook dinner, clean the kitchen, do homework, spend time with my husband, tuck kids in and more.
Today I am a stay at home mom of three. Just one more kid and most days we are hanging by a very thin thread here. I swear I work harder at home then when I use to work. Between the early mornings and these now later nights I just can't find the damn time.
I want to wake up early, refreshed and ready for the day before coffee, weigh less than I did the day before, not argue with children about meal options because DAMMIT THERE ARE NO OPTIONS! I want to have patience when trying to get to school on time. I want to come home to an already clean house so I can spend the day playing with my toddler and cook a healthy meal that ends up in children's bellies and not the floor. Not argue with tween about chores she's had for five years! Spend time with my husband, remember to call my parents, and when all that is done and the house is sound asleep I can let Des A. Scott out of her dark corner in my head and we can spend the night writing.
In a perfect world that would be my schedule but the reality is that I dream of days I when I could sleep in. I can't function without two cups of coffee in me. I have no patience. The two-year-old's hobbies consist of arguing with me and fighting with her older siblings, so I spend most of my day breaking up fights. I forget about the clothes in the washing machine and then have to rewash them because now they smell. I do remember to put them in the dryer but then forget about them in there. Probably needed to restart the dryer so the clothes are still damp and now we have no clean or dry clothes.
It feels like all I have time for is cooking a meal that fifty percent of just ends up on the floor and then cleaning that meal.
I wish I had more time in the day to be mom, wife, and writer. I feel guilty to take time away from them for this dream. I have to remember this story has no time limit and my children will only be children for a little longer.
This isn't a race. It's not about how fast we get there, just that we got there.
So we will have our cake, we'll just be eating very slowly
and enjoying every last bite.

TQ3729 : Horsted Keynes Station
taken 10 years ago, near to Highbrook, West Sussex, Great Britain
This is 1 of 12 images, with title Horsted Keynes Station in this square
Bluebell Railway :: TQ4023
The volunteer run Bluebell Line was the UK's first preserved standard gauge passenger railway, re-opening part of the Lewes to East Grinstead line of the old London Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1960. Since then it has developed into one of the largest tourist attractions in Sussex,
it still remains true to its objectives of the preservation for posterity of a country branch line, its steam locomotives, coaches and goods stock, signalling systems, stations and operating practices.

Part of the Touch collection, exclusively made for Furniture Village at a fantastic value price.
Did you know? Leather is a beautiful, natural material with its own unique marks and characteristics, so texture, tone and colour can vary slightly in and between panels.
Leather stretches, softens and settles with use. When you sit on a new leather sofa or chair it's normal for the leather to 'puddle' slightly due to initial stretching. A simple smoothing of the leather across the top of the seat cushion if this occurs keeps your sofa or chair looking good.
Interiors settle over time so, to maximise comfort, please plump the seat and back cushions regularly, and – where possible – turn and rotate to ensure even wear. Wipe leather upholstery with a damp cloth, and please use only the recommended cleaning products.
If your sofa or chair is a recliner model, please allow time for the recliner to settle. Minor gaps are necessary for ease of motion, and vary depending on floor type. Manual recliners can feel a little stiff at first, but the motion eases with use.

For this elegant, no-bake cheesecake, Nicolaus Balla ferments his own farmer's cheese (a kind of cottage cheese). Ricotta mixed with cream cheese makes a delicious substitute for the filling, which is incredibly light, delicately sweet and wonderful inside the crumbly graham cracker crust. Slideshow: More Incredible Cheesecake Recipes Recipe from Food & Wine America's Greatest New Cooks
How to Make It
In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the salt, ginger and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch fluted tart pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour.
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the ricotta with the cream cheese, agave nectar, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and ginger just until smooth. Using a spatula, spread the filling in the chilled crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice. Let stand at room temperature, stirring once or twice, until the berries are juicy and slightly softened, about 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, toast the caraway seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a mortar and lightly crush the seeds. Return the caraway seeds to the saucepan and add the honey. Warm the honey over moderately low heat for 10 minutes. Strain the honey into a bowl, discarding the seeds; let cool.
Cut the cheesecake into wedges, top with the strawberries and caraway honey and serve.

Gugu Gumemde who plays MaMlambo shared with us what we can expect from the character she plays. The ever so gorgeous Nokuthula Mabika took us on a journey with 'Thobile', Mastermind's "ride or die chick".

I will try to be careful with the word choice cause I know there are far more serious problems than this but I really need help.
I tried to talk about it with my friends and family but they just dismissed it as something common and normal. It may be but I have never felt it so intensely.
Let me explain. I started reading a certain book series, first book was good, I enjoyed it and I felt pretty good about myself and the world. It wasn't after I have finished the book 3 that I started feeling like nothing in this world could measure to the events in the book. To the magic and danger in the book, I really feel like I wouldn't care if suddenly I was hit by a care, or if I was attacked in the street or if I died this moment. I feel like nothing can bring me any joy any hope or any purpose in life. Nothing that can compare to the purpose of protagonist, of her life. I have almost 0 trauma from my life which makes me feel guilty for feeling like I do. I have had and still do have a pretty lucky life as some might say.
I guess I just need to find "magic" in my life but it is not possible.
Any advice would be appreciated.

An actuary by training, Douglas first joined Platinum in 2003 as an investment analyst, having spent some time at the Commonwealth Bank as a product actuary and, prior to that.. More
Investment specialist, Douglas Isles, explains how to think about total return (income and capital growth) when investing in international equities.
The Platinum Trust Funds must distribute their income and net realised gains within the Australian tax year in which they are earned. In recent years, the distribution profile has, for some Funds, been more volatile than many investors had come to expect. The more recent "hunt for yield" has made this more of a concern, but in reality, total returns are the key.
The total return can be utilised to provide income and growth requirements as needed. The focus on yield and predictable investments has resulted in many of the better opportunities in markets (as of June 2013) within lower yielding and cyclical stocks. Hence, the income and associated distribution issue will likely persist.
This factsheet tries to help explain the current lower distributions and their inherent volatility. For further information on Platinum's philosophy and portfolios, please email Douglas Isles, Investment Specialist on email@example.com
International shares tend to pay lower dividends than Australian shares; a function of pay-out ratios. Many overseas companies invest more back into their businesses, while some prefer to buy their own stock. Tax regimes influence capital allocation decisions for corporates. Franking credits only apply to Australian shares; for Australians investing in international shares this is not a consideration.
Total return is the key objective of the manager, and this cannot be emphasised enough. For all but 0% tax-payers (who are neutral) there is a fiscal preference for long-term capital gains over income, but note that stocks are not retained in the portfolio for tax reasons – the investment case is key.
In buying "neglected" stocks, Platinum captures dividends, growth and the revaluation of prospects – the last is a major component. The dividend yield of global markets is c. 2% in 2013, long-term trend earnings growth adds 2% plus inflation, while the Platinum International Fund has delivered 13% pa since 1995. The dividend stream received by Platinum International Fund since inception demonstrates the rising trend that one would expect to receive from a portfolio of good businesses.
Platinum employs risk management strategies, particularly short-selling and currency management. Short-term instruments such as index futures contracts and foreign exchange forwards by their nature have a meaningful impact on the income profit and loss. Such techniques often act like insurance with small losses in many environments and lumpier "payoffs" when markets sell-off, such as in 2008-09.
The realisation of capital gains and losses is driven by stocks achieving target price levels, or being removed from the portfolio. Stocks are evaluated on a 3-5 year investment horizon; the average holding period is around two years in the Platinum International Fund. Realisation of capital gains is likely to be more prevalent in strong markets, when stocks tend to be more fully appreciated. In any year the contribution from managing risks and realising capital gains is likely to outweigh (in either direction) the dividends received by the Fund, which are relatively stable.
As at 2013, for several Funds, there are historical losses on the income and/or capital accounts that have not been fully recovered. It is also worth highlighting in a strong year like 2013, the reappraisal of the prospects of the companies in the portfolio far outweighs any income that could be derived from owning international shares.

Moving to the cloud: Which operations to keep on site and which to move
With more gig workers than ever and the growing popularity of distributed workplaces, cloud computing has become an essential part of the workforce toolkit. The cloud makes it easy and secure to store and retrieve files, but more importantly, it makes it especially easy to share and collaborate – a premium value in the age of remote work.
Collaboration can take a number of different forms. It can be a shared document viewed and edited by a team of workers with all edits visible to the whole team. Those workers could be collaborating from different branches of the company located in different continents. Or it can be a document filed from a remote location by an independent contractor that can be shared with management seamlessly, as though it were completed in-house.
The cloud makes it easy to display documents viewable by all, so even a large staff can have access to source files they may need to complete their projects. At the same time, limiting the number of people with access to sensitive documents is essential for security, especially when it comes to personal data that is protected by privacy regulations such as the GDPR in the EU and other related legislation.
The following is a short guide to what types of operations your office should move to the cloud and which operations to keep on the local servers you can control more intensely.
Top capabilities to move to cloud
For many people, the cloud makes security easier for a number of reasons, not least of which is that data is less exposed to misuse in the cloud than anywhere else. Most security experts agree, human error is responsible for the worst security breaches and there is much less risk of that in the cloud.
1. Payroll
For hackers, few targets are quite as appealing as payroll. There is not only a great deal of money changing hands, but also a great deal of personal information. We saw a payroll breach in the state of Florida this year, with hackers getting hold of $500 000 in government payroll earlier this year. The vulnerability was attributed to a possible e-mail-based scam, underscoring the need to ensure all sensitive data moves only through secure channels in the cloud.
2. Internal communications
Although collaboration is enhanced dramatically though the cloud, the increased accessibility for multiple users has other benefits as well. One important use is for internal communications. The cloud can keep internal conversations private and out of reach to hackers. It also serves as a good channel to pass sensitive data from person to person for the same reason. While e-mail phishing attempts can fool people or take advantage of people under stress and not so attentive to the source of the e-mail, all those problems disappear in the cloud.
3. Secure backup
There is more to file storage than simply the documents you work with on your computer. There are many sources of files, including your computer hard drive, external hard drives, portable disc drives and files that arrive through e-mail, WhatsApp or social media. A data backup to the cloud ensures all the files are available in case any of the files are difficult to locate; or in the case of external drives, if the discs are lost without a backup, the files are gone forever. At the same time, remember, once data is placed in the cloud, it is up to you to ensure that the data is protected.
Types of functions never to put in the cloud
The cloud offers many benefits – increased efficiency, accessibility and security. But it also has limits that make it less than ideal for some operations.
1. Enormous operations
When a company has a product that requires a particularly large amount of storage space, it is often financially smarter to create a small, personal "cloud" for the company itself through proprietary servers. For example, massive multiplayer online games (MMOGs) take up so much space, the cloud hosting costs may be prohibitive. In such a case, security is not compromised because the servers will be dedicated to the product alone, ensuring no outside party has access to the data. Along the same lines, cloud-users may find that their product exceeds bandwidth limitations, leaving the company to set up its own servers to accommodate.
2. Classified information
It's important to remember that when information goes in the cloud, it can be impossible to trace exactly who may have access to the data. With good encryption, it may be possible to severely limit the number of people who may have access, but since the back-end of the cloud is faceless, it's impossible to know with absolute certainty the identity of everyone who comes in contact with the data. So, if your company deals with classified information of any sort, it should not go in the cloud.
3. Medical records or research
Some highly personal information should be treated much like classified information, though without the risk of criminal charges if the information falls into the wrong hands by accident. Medical records would fall into this category, as would results of clinical trials carried out in the name of medical research. In both cases, people have the right to expect the strictest confidence, and therefore, these types of records should be kept in a secure place, highly encrypted, away from any prying eyes that may end up on the technical team at the other end of the cloud.

As a leading manufacturer of auditorium and lecture theatre seating for over 50 years we have seen many changes in our industry and the way business is conducted. However, the one thing that has remained the same throughout this time is our commitment to manufacture products to a very high standard.
British-made products unfortunately have a stigma attached to them because they are seen as being too expensive and are a 'rip off'. There also seems to be an underlining price driven culture here in the UK that the majority of people opt for the cheapest quote when it comes to like for like products.
But are they actually like for like and do they represent the same value for money? How can I justify spending more for what is basically the same product I hear you say. Well, that's where the problem lies I'm afraid as it can be a hard task to convince a person to pay that bit extra for something that is invariably better.
This happens every day without fail throughout the world in both a business to business and business to consumer environment and that is why you will find a product, that is supposed to do the same job, at the low, mid or high end of the market.
For example, why pay £10 for a hammer when I can get one for £5 - it'll do the same job surely? I can personally relate to this as I recently bought a cheap hammer for £5 and it lasted barely an hour when taking down a stud wall.
The disruption it caused that afternoon for me having to jump in the car to the nearest DIY store and then spend £10 for a good one could've been prevented if I'd have just bought a decent hammer in the first place. In total I probably wasted an hour of my day, a quarter of a gallon of diesel and £15 in hammers!
And this is the point I'm making. To provide a product at the lowest price point in a market may sound like an easy way to attract more customers and gain an edge on your competition but it simply equates to a false economy because they don't stand the test of time.
To learn more about our premium range of British made seating products and our industry unique lifetime warranty please contact Julian Ashmore on 01302 741888 or drop us an email here. And remember, the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.
From concept to completion we've had it covered since 1966.
