How Does Give High Hopes For Regrowth Of Hair And Solutions From Hair Fall
Whenever people have hair fall, they try out variety of methods available in the market or referred by someone. Due to this, many products can be found being used by people but many of these are without any concrete evidence of improvement. But, medically there are some treatment options, which can be tried by people with hair loss and mesotherapy is one of them. This is a process in which certain fluids rich in ingredients are injected into the scalp as a result of which there is growth of hair follicles and hair strands. While some dermatologists do carry out this procedure for hair fall, surgical treatment still remains the mainstay of solution for baldness. Therefore, mesotherapy becomes one of the medical treatments along with a slew of other options for people, who want to grow back their hair.
- Minimally invasive procedure for good results on skin and scalp
First and foremost aspect to understand the success in mesotherapy is that there should be hair follicles inside the scalp. The idea in this kind of therapy is to provide enough nutrients, so as to make the hair cells grow and get nourishment. It is thereby a minimally invasive procedure, where the injection is put inside the mesodermal layer of the skin. The nutrients thus injected have the capability to nourish and rejuvenate the skin and help with the increased synthesis of collagen as well as elastin, both components having a role in elasticity of the skin.
Methodology of action of mesotherapy
Since highly active and rich nutrients are injected into the skin through such a procedure of mesotherapy, it helps in providing shine and smoothness of the wrinkled skin. Dull skin becomes healthy and looks good from the outside and highly nutritive inside. Sluggish circulation is improved and thereby increases the probability of boosting hair growth. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body. The solution injected into the skin helps in pigmentation problems as well as in acne treatment and scar removal.
- Components of the fluid being injected in mesotherapy
Ingredients of the fluid injected in case of mesotherapy include hyaluronidase. This enzymatic fluid is meant to dissolute the collagen so as to help in wider distribution of the various vitamins, minerals, amino acids, coenzymes, and few reducing agents present in the fluid. Along with mesotherapy, there is simultaneous exposure to red and yellow light as in case of curative action. Due to this curative action, it is possible to reduce inflammation, lower chances of scarring and speed up healing process.
- Process of mesotherapy not at all irritating and requires frequent sessions for long term effects
Before the process of injection, the scalp skin is applied with certain soothing agent which also works for numbing effect. This is helpful in bearing the pain of injection, even though the needle used is quite small and goes in and out very quickly. In expert hands, the entire process looks effortless and leaves no marks on the face or scalp. In the long run, hair growth is possible if the follicles are functioning as the mesotherapy is aimed at giving a boost to the hair growth with proper follicles. Time taken for the procedure to get completed would be within an hour, which is good enough for people to be patient and the results are actually quite encouraging. The procedure is done every two weeks for 6-8 sessions and maintenance is done once or twice a year for the glowing look and productive results.

The University of Arizona C.A.T.S. Life Skills Program, along with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and national leading experts, has developed the Step UP! Be a Leader, Make a Difference program. Teaching people about the determinants of prosocial behavior makes them more aware of why they sometimes don't help. As a result they are more likely to help in the future.
Step UP! is a prosocial behavior and bystander intervention program that educates students to be proactive in helping others. It received a NASPA Gold award and recently was identified as a 'Best Practice' by the NCAA Sports Science Institute of national and international scholars.
The goals of Step UP! are to:
- Raise awareness of helping behaviors
- Increase motivation to help
- Develop skills and confidence when responding to problems or concerns
- Ensure the safety and well-being of self and others
Create a Caring Community: Step UP! Video
Step Up! Promo Video from In Bloom Images on Vimeo.
Step UP! Overview Video
Step UP! 2016 Bystander Intervention Program Facilitator Training Overview Video
Most problematic behaviors on college campuses involve bystanders. Step UP! training provides a framework explaining the bystander effect, reviews relevant research and teaches skills for intervening successfully using the 5 Decision Making Steps, and the S.E.E. Model (Safe; Early; Effective).
A survey at three Universities (The University of Arizona, University of California, Riverside and University of Virginia), revealed that students are encountering multiple situations where bystander intervention would be appropriate including, among other things, alcohol abuse, hazing, eating disorders, sexual assault and discrimination. Almost 90% stated a problem could have been avoided with intervention and up to 85% of the student-athletes indicated they would like to learn skills to intervene. The bottom line is that many, if not most, unfortunate results are PREVENTABLE.
It is our sincere hope that this training will help you learn strategies and techniques to intervene directly or indirectly in both emergency and non-emergency situations. In the training we discuss real-life situations/scenarios. Our goal is to generate open, honest and non-judgmental discussions about the material presented. This training is not meant to cover all possible scenarios or variables, nor is it meant to train you as a counselor. This is your program. You will determine its ultimate success as a collective community
You can all make a significant difference. Thank you for your interest in Step UP!

Swank, you are a sleeky slanky creature,
As want as I, an' yet apt tae feature,
Upon tha luxury o' ma ain chair,
As if it were thine own,
An I tae glower, simply you tae stare,
Wi silent snicker moan.
Sometimes ya groom yersel, as if a Queen,
Wi careful stroke, yer practice art tae preen,
Then lick yersel, where ithers widnae go,
Fer fear o' etiquette,
An I, though I splash watter, clean tae know,
Yet you fine praise will get.
Yer pounce upon puir shadows, tae practice,
So mice, a scouri-in yer widnae miss,
When aft they start, wi terra hastie,
As wise they are tae scoot,
For grace is foreign, you show no mercy,
Oot chibbing claws yer shoot.
Yet when I think, upon yer place on earth,
That rises to the rank that goes wi birth,
I must admit we idolise yer fate,
Wi charm o' stupid polish,
An picture you wi wit, an clever gait,
That truth wid abolish.
For ony toon has moggy ferral mews,
Who scavenge hope o' life but often lose,
Abandoned, cursed an left to fend fer self,
Roond bins spilt, spolit produce,
An cruel fleas who sap their source o' wealth,
Are victors yet, let loose.
An on tha lonely lamposts in tha toons,

When wandered fram tha place of safety,
Yer pranced fer fun tae greet,
Then oan pavement gutters, crushed an bloody,
Yer lanky bodies meat.
An yet I guess; an here must gie us pause;
You didna care, but fer the care o' claws,
An when tha next dinner will fill yer plate.
You scratch yer collar.
But I foresee, an worry at ma fate,
An ev'ry hard earned dollar.
So feline, slink wi pantha's grace an poise,

Or pishing on tha flair withoot a look,

Thaen under airm tae vet maun, you get took,

This house was quite intriguing. It had formerly been an old Rectory, which had been changed somewhat over the years and was now a very important part of the village as a Grade 2 Listed Building.
One notable feature of this building was the many overlapping roof lines. Although the client asked for a Conservatory to be sighted centrally on the far right rear wall, we believed it to reflect the style of the house more by moving to the left and returning it into the set back wall behind. This also had the tremendous advantage of being able to link the Conservatory with an existing Lobby. An old Gothic window was removed to form an opening through to a Lobby extension. The old window was then restored and re-used in the Lobby Extension itself, as can be seen in the photograph. A slate roof was constructed over this section with the dividing wall extending up between the two roof lines and capped with water tabling or coping stones. A pair of internal French Doors were then positioned within this wall. The Double Gothic bars within the Conservatory truly reflect the Old Rectory fenestration.
The case Conservation Officer was initially a little apprehensive about this proposal, although did approve it. After seeing the finished result, she commented how well it blended in and she would be even more likely to support our designs in the future.

French production company Studio Canal has announced from Berlin that its film, director Robert Guediguian's "Army of Crime" ("L'armée du crime"), has been picked up by Lorber Films, an arm of Kino Lorber, Inc., for U.S. distribution. "Army of Crime" is the rarely told story of immigrant French Resistance fighters in Paris. It was Out of Competition at Cannes last year, and has been selected for Film Society of Lincoln Center and Unifrance's upcoming New York Rendez-Vous with French Cinema. Lorber Films plans a small festival run, a spring or summer opening in New York, and an expansion in the weeks following its New York theatrical opening.
Richard Lorber, the Co-President and CEO of Kino Lorber commented on the film and the partnership in a statement, "We are very happy to be working again with our friends at Studio Canal and thrilled at the chance to release this powerful and passionate film. One of my personal favorites from this year's Cannes, we believe 'Army of Crime' will resonate strongly with American theatre audiences, both for its sweeping cinematic mis en scene and the compelling moral dilemmas posed in its brilliant character driven true story. Robert Guediguian's film defines our curatorial mission as distributors; we believe it will earn a deserved place as one of the classics of tomorrow."
Also on Lorber's horizon is a spring release of the restored edition of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," which just had its debut at the Berlinale.

A hard-hitting story about mental health and living with depression and anxiety
I watch the train emerge from the tunnel. It will be quick. It will be efficient. It will be final.
Declan seems to have it all: a family that loves him, friends he's known for years, a beautiful girlfriend he would go to the ends of the earth for. But there's something in Declan's past that just won't go away, that pokes and scratches at his thoughts when he's at his most vulnerable. Declan feels as if nothing will take away that pain that he has buried deep inside for so long. So he makes the only decision he thinks he has left: the decision to end it all. Or does he? As the train approaches and Declan teeters at the edge of the platform, two versions of his life are revealed. In one, Declan watches as his body is destroyed and the lives of those who loved him unravel. In the other, Declan pauses before he jumps. And this makes all the difference. One moment. One pause. One whole new life. From author of The Shadow Girl, winner of the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2012 Prize for Writing for Young Adults, comes a breathtaking new novel that will make you reconsider the road you're traveling and the tracks you're leaving behind.
Sydney-based author John Larkin was born in England but grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney. He has, at various stages of his writing career, supported his habit by working as a supermarket trolley boy, shelf-stacker, factory hand, forklift driver, professional soccer player and computer programmer. He now writes and teaches writing full-time. John has a BA in English Literature and a MA in Creative Writing from Macquarie University. John's The Shadow Girl won the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2012 Prize for Writing for Young Adults.

Death to the moderates
by Sam Kriss
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Sigmund Freud, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life
They live among us, the moderates, if what they have can be called life. You've probably seen them, strolling on the streets and driving in their cars and looking every bit like the human beings they aren't; maybe you happen to be one yourself. There are (but why?) people who will go out in the evening and drink exactly one half of a bottle of wine; people who think the new Simpsons episodes are still pretty funny; people who can look at the sheer swirling insanity that surrounds us, the artificial famines and the drowning refugees and the suffocating alienation, and declare themselves to be moderate in relation to it. Things aren't perfect, but a few tweaks here and there should set things straight: raise the top income tax bracket (but not by too much), legalise marijuana (but not any of the interesting drugs), overthrow the Assad government in Syria, casual Fridays at the office and police action against internet trolls; forge a world that's basically the same but a little bit nicer. For those of us suffering from compulsive self-destruction, chronic back pain, vague and unexplained sexual guilt, amphetamine withdrawal, and a quiet but persistent voice in the back of our heads that regales us with a nightly lullaby about every shitty thing we've ever done – in other words, for those of us with a normal and healthy response to life under late capitalism – the moderates take on demoniac proportions. There's nothing quite so revolting as another person's happiness. In the United States prescription drugs are routinely advertised on TV: the pictures show attractive middle-aged white people taking picnics, riding bicycles, not being dead, etc., while a cheery voice quickly runs through all the drug's potentially lethal side-effects. It would take the forbearance of a coma patient not to wish every single one of them – from dizziness and erectile dysfunction through to thrombocytopaenia, atrial fibrillation, and instant death – on these blithely fictional ghouls. The foundations of social and biological life are collapsing around them, and they ride their bikes through a verdant meadow drenched in sunlight, just so grateful to finally be rid of their osteoarthritis. It's a fiction, but one the moderates yearn for, a transcendent ego-ideal. They're not just myopic or unimaginative, they're utterly insane. So why on earth would anyone want to give these maniacs weapons? What carnage could they wreak if they were armed not just with condescending smiles, but heavy machine guns?
We might be about to find out. The Obama regime has asked for $500 million to arm and train 'moderate' forces in Syria to fight both the cartoon supervillain Bashar al-Assad and the unstoppable demon army of the Islamic State (formerly ISIS). These moderates don't really exist as conventionally imagined (genocidal civil war is not usually a hospitable environment for nice guitar-strumming liberalism), but even by itself this a monstrous idea. The everyday awfulness of moderation becomes something far stranger and uglier when imposed on Islam; armed moderation might sound like an oxymoron, but in fact it's a very real and very horrifying possibility. Muslims in the West are still allowed to follow Islam, just about, but not too much. It's not bloodshed or misogyny that need to be moderated, but the religion itself: Islam and dangerous threatening foreign violence lie along a single axis; any public display of belief equals extremism equals homo sacer. The demand for a moderate Islam is for a watered-down Islam; you should treat your absolute faith in the transcendent oneness of God in the manner of someone warily inspecting a supermarket curry. Outside the West, it's a different story. A Saudi cleric can advocate the continued ban on all Christian worship, the continued relegation of women to a status somewhere above household furniture and somewhere below household pets, and other such non-Islamic idiocy – but as long as he doesn't oppose Western ambitions elsewhere in the Islamic world, he's a moderate. Abroad, moderate Islam means acquiescence to imperialism. The gestalt ideal of the moderate Muslim, then, is this: a monstrous figure, clothes drenched in the blood of innocents, inflicter of hideous tortures and gruesome executions, someone casting terror across the blasted landscape seemingly for no particular reason, but in a manner that doesn't disturb the mechanisms of profit.
Being moderate means destroying all possible futures and replacing them with a listlessly cheerful nihilism. The philosophy of moderation has always been one of bloodshed. Aristotle, who in his Eudemian Ethics celebrated the virtue of Mildness and argued that the moral good always lies between two extremes, was a tutor to Alexander the Great, who slaughtered hundreds of thousands so that modesty might conquer the world. Bloodthirsty prudery has always dispatched its victims because their misery or their enjoyment was too excessive. In our age, the armed moderates of Syria are just the beginning. One of the groups under the FSA umbrella likely to receive some of the $50m jackpot is Jabhat al-Nusra, the official al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria. They'll need it. Having the dual support of the Western intelligence apparatus and the stuffy old pedants that succeeded bin Laden doesn't really do them any favours; they're like a jihadi group officially sanctioned by your dad. The fighters joining Jabhat al-Nusra instead of the Islamic State are the gangly nerds of international terrorism: people who ride scooters, drink Pepsi, eat cashew butter, and spent their teenage years listening to prog instead of punk – impeccable moderates. They've also been filmed eating human hearts. Like all forms of mass discipline, this tactic of violent moderation is unlikely to stay in the imperial periphery. It didn't take long for Victorian imperialists to start conceiving of their metropolitan working-class populations with the same eugenic horror in which they held the repressed colonial multitudes; it won't be long before the moderates among us take up arms, and if we don't stop them, their reign will be brutal.


text: Jan 30, 2014 Agilysys Reports Third Quarter Revenue of $26 Million Alpharetta, GA - January 30, 2014 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading developer and provider of innovative software enabled solutions for the hospitality industry, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2014 third quarter. All financial results presented below reflect the classification of the Company's former Retail Solutions Group ("RSG") as a discontinued operation following the sale of this business on July 1, 2013. (Please click here for complete financial information) Summary of Fiscal 2014 Third Quarter Financial Results Total net revenue of $26.0 million compares to total net revenue of $28.2 million in the comparable prior-year period, a decrease of 8%, driven primarily by a decrease in sales of lower margin remarketed products. Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) for the quarter were $13.6 million, an increase of 11% over the same period in fiscal 2013. Gross margin was 60% in the fiscal 2014 third quarter, compared to 55% in the prior-year period. Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other one-time items) increased $0.8 million year over year to $0.3 million from an adjusted operating loss from continuing operations of $(0.5) million in the year-ago period (see reconciliation below). Adjusted income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations grew $1.0 million to $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $0.8 million, or $(0.03) per share, last year (see reconciliation below). Net loss in the period was $(2.7) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02, in the prior-year period. James Dennedy, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, "Our fiscal 2014 third quarter and year-to-date results demonstrate Agilysys' continued ability to grow higher-margin recurring revenue as we focus on providing innovative solutions and exceptional customer support to clients across the hospitality industry. Our current products, including several recently introduced mobile products, continue to change the way the hospitality industry engages with guests, enabling our customers to deliver higher quality customer experiences and to operate their businesses more efficiently. "In addition, we continue to see solid commercial success from our capital investments and we have delivered several important new innovations in this fiscal year. Our ongoing investments in current products and in our next generation products will help accelerate our revenue growth, drive improvements in operating leverage, and provide higher operating and net income, resulting in enhanced shareholder value." Summary of Fiscal 2014 Nine Months Financial Results Total net revenue for the period increased $2.3 million, or 3%, to $77.1 million, compared with $74.8 million in the comparable prior-year period. Product growth was impacted by the above noted lower margin remarketed product sales which occurred in the third fiscal quarter of the prior year and did not repeat in the current period. Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) for the period were $39.9 million, an increase of 8% over the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Gross margin of 64% compares to gross margin of 59% in the prior-year period. Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other one-time items) for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 increased year over year by $4.1 million to $2.6 million, from an adjusted operating loss of $(1.5) million in the comparable year-ago period (see reconciliation below). Adjusted income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations grew to $2.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $(2.0) million, or $(0.09) per share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 (see reconciliation below). Net income was $19.1 million, or $0.86 per share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared with a net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the year-ago period. Janine Seebeck, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our performance so far in fiscal 2014 reflects our success in addressing the needs of the hospitality industry with higher-margin solutions as well as our prudent fiscal discipline. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2014 we have improved gross margin by 470 basis points and generated positive adjusted operating income in all three quarters, leading to a $4.1 million improvement in adjusted operating income from continuing operations. We have achieved these improvements even as we continue to invest above historical levels as a percentage of revenue in our current and future products. Our healthy balance sheet with nearly $100 million in cash and no debt, provides us with the financial flexibility to continue investing in long-term growth through the development of our next generation platform as well as through potential acquisitions that would help grow our addressable markets."

Dee Houchen, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Oracle EMEA @DeeHouchen
Finance: the new "Champion" for applied analytics
In these unpredictable times, CEOs are increasingly leaning on the CFO to help with business planning and strategy. Organizations must continue to grow and evolve to remain successful, and with their unique understanding of performance across departments there is nobody better placed to transform the company's operating model than finance leaders.
That said, an operating model involves much more than processes and outputs. The company's ability to meet its goals ultimately comes down to its people, to the skills they contribute and to how efficiently they use their time. This is the domain of the CHRO.
By nature of the data and systems they have traditionally worked with, finance leaders tend to classify employees based on their role, salary, and availability when allocating resource. This approach is rational, but it falls short because it does not factor people's preferences into the decision.
The CFO is the business' numbers guru, and as such they are acutely aware that employee salaries and costs account for a majority of the organization's operating cost. Making the most of skilled workers is therefore a no brainer, and a closer relationship with the CHRO is the key to achieving this. Research from EY reveals the trend has already begun, with 80% of finance and HR leaders saying their relationship has become more collaborative.
CFOs also need a combined view of people, projects, and resources to make sound strategic decisions. This is particularly important at a time when capital is limited and there aren't enough skilled people in the job market to meet the company's needs.
Building Finance's bench strength" should be Co-Pilot of the business: Finance is the new guidance system
To determine which skills the finance team or any department needs to manage their workloads, team leaders like CFOs need a current view of how resources and people are distributed and used across the organization.
They also need to look ahead to which projects are in the pipeline and what these will require in terms of manpower. This extends to succession planning as well, a critical issue for finance teams and of course CFOs themselves.
By nature of the data and systems they have traditionally worked with, finance leaders tend to classify employees based on their role, salary, and availability when allocating resource. This approach is rational, but it falls short because it does not factor people's preferences into the decision. A person's aptitude for the role is equally reliant on their enthusiasm for the work, their experience in previous roles and, in the case of managers, on their natural aptitude for leadership.
It is the CHRO and their team who have insight into these less tangible variables and who are in position to keep track of them. The finance and HR departments therefore need to align themselves and their systems more closely to ensure all relevant information is factored into workforce planning decisions.
Looking at the finance department specifically, the skillset of the modern finance employee looks very different to that of their predecessors. Where it was once enough to compile, analyse and share numerical reports, the finance team must now add a great deal more context to their findings. They need to distil information from inside and outside the business into meaningful insights that can inform wider business strategies.
Ivgen Guner, Senior Vice President at Oracle, underlined this reality in a recent Wall Street Journal whitepaper: "Problem-solvers in the upper echelons of financial management grasp the difference between reporting numbers and conveying their meaning. Emotional maturity, sufficient self-confidence to say no at times and, not least, evidence of the capacity to work in partnerships beyond the finance department all signal problem-solving talent."
The difficult part is finding people that can deliver on all these fronts. The professional skills gap in EMEA has never been more pronounced, especially in analytical fields. Meanwhile, many established finance workers haven't developed the technology skills or managerial experience necessary to lead in today's business environment.
Sandy Cockrell of Deloitte's Global CFO Program understands the difficulty faced by finance departments: "Whether it's taking political science and communications courses in school or volunteering for an overseas post in sales, [CFOs] need the capability to connect financial acumen to a broader understanding of the business world… Many new CFOs who have come from finance have a tough time letting go of their old jobs. But in order to focus on their roles as strategist and catalyst, they need a bench who can handle the roles of operator and steward."
Looking at the finance department specifically, the skillset of the modern finance employee looks very different to that of their predecessors.
To branch out their team's skillset, CFOs are looking for talented people whose background lies outside the finance function. This extends to recruiting employees from other departments who want to test their skills in a new, challenging environment. How can they find these people? Enter the CHRO and HR team, who have their pulse on exactly which individuals would be the best candidates for a finance role based on their skills, aptitude, and direct feedback from their line managers.
The battle for top talent is heating up, and as a result means CHROs are having less difficulty securing IT budget to enhance their recruitment efforts. Cloud-based talent analytics has emerged as a means to better engage employees and improve productivity, as are cloud-based applications for attracting, managing and retaining the best people.
However, in many cases these systems are still implemented in isolation rather than in an integrated way with financial planning applications. Better communication between HR and finance lies at the core of a modern approach to talent and resource management, and this includes closer alignment between both departments' systems.
Below are just a few examples of how this integrated approach adds value. For an even longer list check out Jim Lein's blog on best practice for CFO and CHRO collaboration.
Better communication between HR and finance lies at the core of a modern approach to talent and resource management, and this includes closer alignment between both departments' systems.
Virtually any major organizational change will impact payroll. Take the case of a company that has decided to set up new offices and production facilities in new markets to better support local customers. The finance team needs to set up cash reserves in local currencies to meet local payroll requirements, and with access to accurate employee data they will be able to accurately allocate cash as needed.
Employees' development should be as linked to business needs as it is to their own ambitions. For example, if a sales organization decides to target midsize customers with its new range of products, line managers should set performance goals for their teams that reflect this wider ambition. For their part, HR teams should offer training geared at helping employees better serve the midsize segment. Again, this strategic harmony requires aligned finance and HR systems.
Compliance issues continue to be one of the biggest concerns for businesses, and a chief barrier to innovation. In the case of procurement, all purchases of a certain category must be signed off by a VP in the accounting department. When a company's HR and finance systems are in sync, the new policy is immediately reflected in every workflow it affects with no need for human intervention (and therefore no chance of human error).
The case for a closer relationship between finance and HR has never been stronger, and the emergence of cloud-based ERP and HR technologiescould not be better timed. By unifying these systems in the cloud, companies can gain a single reporting and analytics resource as well as a common data model across the board, not to mention a consistent user experience for all. Of course, this stronger relationship between HR and finance begins in the boardroom so it is up to CFOs and CHROs to lead by example.

2019 Ford F150 Ftx Price and Release Date
The 2019 Ford F150 Ftx had its discussion, and it occurred at 2017 Detroit Car Program. Without false modesty Michigan-based firm can claim that their brand-new vehicle was among the standout versions which premiered this year. One of the world's most desired cars certainly stole the show at 2017 NAIAS.
With 2018 MY Ford proceeded boosting its wagers selling vehicle. The revamping of F-150 started 2 years back when Ford started making use of aluminum framework to earn the pickup lighter and more fuel reliable. This year saw the extension of renovations on Ford's F-150. The vehicle now has new ten-speed transmission, as well as for the very first time in its background, it will use diesel powertrain. The diesel motor will have its purpose in allowing Ford F-150 2018 to tow more than it held true with its fuel systems. This factor, obviously, wasn't the only one. The market dictated the tempo in which Ford presented diesel engine on its very successful vehicle (F-150 has been Americas very popular automobile considering that 1977. For example, Ford marketed more than 820,000 systems just last yer, that makes this pick-up each hr marketing ratio stand at 903 vehicle each hr).
Competitors such as Nissan as well as RAM already have diesel truck for time now, so Ford had to follow suit. Various other notable changes on new F-150 include larger grill which is now extra horizontally positioned, F-150 mark imprinted into the tailgate, new layout for wheels and also fronts lights. On the within, you have actually new colors distributed across trims and brand-new infotainment system. New infomercial system consists of boosted Flexible cruise control, pre-collision-assist system, pedestrian detection, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Bang & Olufsen stereo, lane-keeping help, a 360-degree video camera, blind-spot monitoring and also as we are already accustomed by Ford, Android Car, and Apple CarPlay come as optional features.
Ford's brand-new F-150 has been released back at the end of 2014 and also since then it ended up being the very popular automobile in North America. Nonetheless, it seems that this is inadequate for Ford. Not that lengthy ago test burros have been snooped evaluating with some camouflage on them. In addition to that, it appears that a few of these were using rather interesting engines, however a lot more on that later on. These are most likely the prototypes for the 2018 Ford F-150 which is expected to release in early 2017. Not much else has actually been revealed concerning the truck other than the fact that it is the mid-life refresh of the current version.
Despite the fact that many rumors suggested otherwise, it seems that the 2018 Ford F-150 will certainly retain its existing engines. On top of that, two brand-new ones will be included in the mix. The already well known Raptor will certainly include a 3.5 litre EcoBoost with over 450 horsepower. The other one is a little bit more intriguing. Why? Well, because it is a diesel. We understand so far Ford hasn't confirmed this however many examination burros sounded like diesels, so we are quite certain of it. Nevertheless, the actual engine that will fit under its hood is still unknown at this moment.

Appalachia Risin' and Mermaid Done it!
by, March 10th, 2009 at 10:51 PM (2327 Views)
You probably did done yersefs some readin' bout analog boob tubes here'n the hollers and how folks in these here parts cain't get no recepshun now the gubbmint done gone messed with the airwaves and all that?
Well, I ain't got no idea how she managed to git 'er done, but one of the loveliest little critters here in the cabbage patch o' AMAM finally done put us'n up to the Google and modern times.
Some youns may 'a heared of our little Mermaid, one time MIss Teen PA, but hailin' back then from the central part of the state where inbreedin's not quite so intense.
Let me post a couple photos here for your viewin' pleasure, courtesy of one fella out o' New York, who hired some other models who resemble our Mermaid quite a bit, though she is much too shy to appear here in person.
Land o' Goshin'! I done raced myself plumb outa my britches!
What the hell is that, Harlan? That don't look like no trout I e'er done saw!
Now don't you go an tell Daisy Mae why I'm a fishin' this crick all the time, Jr.
Unlike most of us in these here parts, who had the advantage of learnin' to swim in any neighborhood Amish mud hole or pig latrine, our little Mermaid is whatcha call an adult-onset swimmer. Hell, me and Billy boy, my coach, done taught her how to do a flip turn not more'n three years ago. At first, we just done it for sport, you know, cause she looked so cute sneezin' and snorflin' and such when her nose holes got all flooded up.But damn if the sweet young thing didn't take to the water like some kind of late-learnin' CremePuff or Fortress-style masters champ type prize-winnin' 4H quality swimmer. I suppose, comin' from the fancy pants East part of our state, York, the home of them peppermint patties and air conditioner units and all, where the girls get raised all sophisticated and lazy and like that, it just makes sense she's not the world's hardest workin' swimmer. I mean she does practice. A little here and there. In spurts and all. But damn that girl could be good iffn' she put her mind to it.
But then again, who needs a mind bein' put to it when you got yourself a siren call.
Leastways, that's what I'm a thinkin' to my dumb self when I get, like some kind of fireball bolt out of the dadgum blue yonder, word that Mermaid figgered out the Google and took our swimmin' region to whole wide webby world.
Check us out! We aint no second best no more to them irradiated billies down in Tennessee, buggin' the TVA about their nucular plants no more!
We be the proudest bunch of inbred mountain folks in the union these days, mercy me, thanks to that fancy little Mermaid and her tech-know-logical savvy.
Check us out then drop her a kindly word of praise and thanksgiving for bringing the attention of the whole goshdiggitydarn US of ****in' A to our backwater chain o' mud holes at long, long last! Praise be!
(Note: after checkin' out the spankin' new Allegheny Mountain Masters official USMS site, you can send Mermaid a kindly word by clicking here:
I honestly wish you would, cause she worked real hard without no money, and as a selfish person myself, I gotta say the folks who give back gotta be encouraged for their good works, cause the rest of us don't want that well runnin' high and dry.)
--Jim Bob, your landlocked seafood lover who's bout to have his house taken over by the Internal Revenuers and will be in necessity of all the kindness of strangers he can squeeze outa 'em his ownsef.

Why Are the Leaves Turning Brown on Holly Bushes?
Hollies (Ilex spp.) are best known for their glossy foliage and bright red berries. Many species of holly are evergreen, providing winter color to the garden in hedges or topiaries, and are often used for holiday decorations. While hollies are generally extremely hardy, thriving in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9, these shrubs are occasionally susceptible to weather damage or fungal infection, which can cause the leaves to turn brown.
Weather Damage
Large brown splotches on the leaves, especially around the edges, can be a sign that your holly plant has sustained weather damage, such as a sudden cold snap or a prolonged dry period. If rainfall drops below 1 inch per week, water your holly to ensure the roots are receiving enough moisture. Hollies are resilient and will usually recover quickly from weather-related shocks.
Fungal Infections
Smaller brown or yellow spots on the leaves may indicate that your holly plant has succumbed to tar spot or another fungal disease. Fungal infections are most likely to strike in the damp spring season, though they may appear at any time of year. If left untreated, the spots will spread and darken until they turn black. Infected leaves may drop from the trees.
Leaf spots are not usually a serious threat to the holly plant as a whole. Proper care of the plant will often cause the disease to naturally lessen and disappear. But if you have a severe infection, where leaf spots affect a large portion of the holly's leaves, you can use a broad-spectrum fungicide such as maneb or ferbam. Spray to the point of runoff once a week until leaf spots are reduced. Always follow directions carefully when using chemical fungicides, and make sure to keep dangerous substances out of reach of children and pets.
Good care can usually prevent holly diseases from occurring. Ensure that your soil has good drainage and that your holly plant receives plenty of sun. Add a layer of compost to the soil each spring to augment nutrient levels, and mulch around the base of the holly to help keep down weeds and retain moisture. When watering, avoid splashing the leaves, as prolonged dampness can encourage fungal infections. If leaf spots do appear, prune away infected branches as soon as possible to limit the spread of the disease.

Working at Narato: testimonials from Nadya, David en Klaartje
Narato keeps on growing
Narato is steadily working on becoming bigger and better. To do this, we keep on looking for people to join our team. We need people that are driven and talented, but that also like to be a real part of Narato. We hope to offer our employees all they need to thrive in their jobs. There are interesting things to do, a little fun here and there, like our new pool table, but there's also the opportunity to grow and learn. Three people that recently joined us would like to share their view on their first Narato experiences! Don't hesitate to contact us if you want to join us!
A few years ago, I decided to switch careers. I got a degree in applied computer sciences and interned at Narato. When they offered me the chance to stay, I didn't hesitate and signed the contract. I haven't regretted it! Right from the start I could join a team that was working on a big project. Thanks to the clear communication strategy, good guidance and nice atmosphere in our team, I felt productive straight away. Even as a junior, I feel that I can really contribute and be an asset to the team. I have learned so much since I have been working here these last few months!
But Narato is more than just a job! Thanks to Narato Academy, you get a chance to learn about the newest gadgets, technologies and ideas. We are also a great group of fun colleagues. We get together from time to time to get to know each other and to relax after work. And last but not least, our offices are great! There's a pool table and a place to lounge. There are a few standing desks and a lot of big desks are also avaible, so you have lots of space to get your work done!
Last year I was in my senior year at college. All that I had left to do was to find a suitable internship to gracefully end my career at school. I didn't want to just finish school and leave with empty hands, I wanted to be part of something bigger. This was a step into my future with a fair chance of being able to step into the world of ICT. Since I didn't like recruiting companies or playing it safe, I started a search of my own. I typed some keywords into Google and this led me to Narato.
When I looked at the website, I realized this looked like the place I had envisioned. A young company , plenty of breathing room to grow and learn. The website outlined a few ideas I agreed with. I didn't hesitate and took the chance. They asked me for an interview, listened to my story and eventually granted me the honor of being the first official intern starting at the company. I got my degree and Narato was where I wanted to stay. I had learned a lot, but still had some learning to do. Nevertheless, they gave me an opportunity to show what I was worth with a final test. I passed it and finally paved the road to scoring my IBO contract, so now I'm part of the team!
Narato chose to invest time in somebody who was still learning. They looked beyond our skills, because we can always improve those. How we fit into the team and how we are as people, is also important at Narato. My colleagues where all helpful and friendly too. I consider myself lucky to be part of the team. This company understands the struggles of being a junior. I can conclude only that Narato really is the place where 'Your story starts'
Last year, when I decided to go back to school, I never expected things to go so fast for me professionally. I wasn't really looking for a job just yet, but then I was invited for an interview at Narato. The company really intrigued me. Narato puts its people first, cares about the environment, motivates its employees to learn and use new technologies. It sounded too good to be true, but I had to find out for myself.
During my first interview, I noticed that the person I was talking to, Patrick De Block, spoke very passionately of his company and team. We agreed on doing a two-week internship. This way they could see how quickly I would learn something new and I could get to know the team. Most people don't consider work much fun, but I had a lot of fun those two weeks. I learned a new technology, got to know the people of Narato and experienced working in a relaxing environment. I knew this was where I wanted to work. Luckily, they offered me a job! I've been with Narato for a month now. I'm also still in college to finish my degree and in the meantime, I'm learning things much quicker thanks to Narato.

Have you dug into your Ancestry or DNA-ancestry? If yes: has the journey changed you?
I started digging almost a year ago, and wow what a journey.
A year ago I considered myself a typical American European mutt, not knowing or thinking about it.
Researching part-time I now know I come from a long line (5-9 generation) of good Americans, ranging from a great-great grandfather who immigrated as a farmer/peasant in 1846 from Prussia to my 9th great grandfather that was born in 1620 England and died in 1656 Maryland, US.
And although it is really cool knowing that and that in the 120+ pedigree ancestors their where no slave owners, those who fight for the union army and some in the US revolutionary war, those facts did not change me. But instead I learn that you don't have to be a great leader and that being part of great historical events is magnificent. Or I could say being good is better than being great, that is to say it better to be a peasant that is part of a tyrant's downfall, then a great general serving a tyrant.

India Staff Team Introduction
The saying "less is more" is generally one that can be applied to a variety of areas. For myself, this applies to tomato sauce, exercise and perfume. Here at the Global Vision International (GVI) Kerala hub however, "less is more" definitely does not apply. Our team has recently expanded to include three new and excited, if not slightly jet-lagged, members. With our expanding team and the incredible amount of experience, motivation and dedication they bring to the Kerala hub, we thought we'd begin to introduce ourselves to those who are looking to come out and volunteer with us.
Our team is currently made up of 14 members with a diverse range of roles. Each member has a specific program or area they focus on but we love our team to have a good understanding of all the programs, so we do mix and match where needed. Having an integrated team who share their knowledge and can work interchangeably when necessary, is crucial in the creation of a strong and sustainable team.
Each team member brings something unique to the table and the blend of personalities and strengths is hand-picked to ensure the strongest possible team. The current mix of humour, kindness, sarcasm, patience, time-keeping fiends, and relaxed natures make our team a dynamic blend. We support each other, challenge each other and sometimes test each others patience, but overall we are on this journey together.
What does this mean for you? This means that as a team we bring a range of skills, personalities, weaknesses and strengths that when combined with yours, make for an unforgettable volunteering experience. We'll bring our best and we can't wait to see yours.

Lander's Lobby - Isn't It Called A Railway..?
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME WORRYING developments on the 'autonomous vehicle' front...
In his recent budget, the UK's Chancellor, George Osborne, announced that the government's 'Intelligent Mobility Fund' will be used to sponsor tests of selfdriving vehicles on British roads. Osborne claims that this will put us at the forefront of "an exciting new technology" - despite the fact that the vehicles themselves will be manufactured elsewhere. Ironically, while the Treasury is busy chopping money from the Motability scheme (which provides cars for disabled drivers), there's evidently enough spare cash lying around to fund computer driven lorries on the M6 motorway.
That project - starting later in the year - will see up to ten lorries, linked only by computer, running together just a few feet apart. One driver, in the lead vehicle, will control them all (although there will actually be drivers in the others, ready to take over in emergencies). The plan is to cram even more vehicles on to our overcrowded roads, and, at the same time, to make fuel savings by exploiting the aerodynamic efficiency of close spacing. (I can't help thinking that we've already invented this - isn't it called a railway?)
Britain's motorways, with their relatively frequent entry and exit points, are undoubtedly the worst in Europe for such 'road trains'. There are well-founded fears about other vehicles getting stuck on the outside of one these convoys, unable to pull across safely to access a slip-road. The response to that concern has been a suggestion that the convoys would either use a dedicated lane or would be limited to travelling in the middle lane of a three-lane motorway. Now; the chance of extra lanes being added to all UK motorways must be next to zero - so, unless our 'rules of the road' are modified to allow passing on both sides, the inside lane would effectively become redundant. Even fewer vehicles will use it if nose-to-tail lorries are permanently occupying the middle one.
Anyway, it is said that the only stretch of motorway suitable for these experiments will be the top end of the M6 - north of Lancaster - where traffic is less dense and there are rather fewer entry/exits. Therefore, it would appear that the government is promoting a potentially dangerous excursion into a totally unnecessary form of automation, which (even if successful) won't actually be feasible in this country! Well, apart, that is, from one short length of existing road near Carlisle...
Meanwhile, over in the USA, Google has admitted that one of its self-driving cars has been involved in an accident that (for the first time) was caused by the car's computer programming. Apparently, the car had entered the correct, right-hand lane for negotiating a set of traffic lights. The sensors then picked up an obstruction ahead, and the computer decided that the car had to move into the left lane. A bus was detected, already in that lane, approaching from behind. Remarkably, the computer assumed that the bus would slow down and allow the car to pull out in front of it.
The passive human 'driver' also made the same assumption and therefore didn't over-ride the automatic controls. But the bus carried on regardless at about 15mph. Result: one badly dented car and several angry bus passengers.
There are some interesting points here. First: the human driver also thought that the manoeuvre was legitimate, and would presumably have done exactly the same thing in an ordinary car. Second: Google (who must, presumably, have accurate data) say that the car was doing 2 mph at the time of impact.
So did the car pull out much more slowly than the average driver would have done? (There's evidence to support that theory: almost all previous accidents to Google's fleet have been when their cars have moved away slowly from a stop, and have been 'rear-ended'.) Most interesting of all, though, is that the computer seems to have been programmed to drive badly - to think, in effect: "I'm sure it will be okay; that bus is bound to let me in."
Google's response included the following statement: "From now on, our cars will more deeply understand that buses (and other large vehicles) are less likely to yield to us than other types of vehicles, and we hope to handle situations like this more gracefully in the future."
Even ignoring the strange use of the English language, this is extremely alarming. The obvious inference is that Google's computer algorithms will be tweaked to avoid accidents with buses, but that confrontations with smaller vehicles are still considered acceptable. Chicken runs with cyclists... But in point of fact (in America as in Britain) no-one has to 'yield' to a vehicle about to make a lane change - unless, of course, it is a special filter lane with signs indicating priorities. Under any other circumstance, the vehicle already in its lane has right of way - which can, though, be relinquished purely as a matter of courtesy.
Anticipating the behaviour of another driver is almost subliminal: speed; road positioning; signals; make and condition of vehicle; age and gender of driver. Plus, checking to see if the driver is monitoring road hazards or chatting to passengers - even noting whether or not there's a distracting 'dangly' hanging from the interior mirror. The human brain is capable of assessing all that information instinctively, and the likelihood of a computer being programmed to respond to those subtle nuances seems very remote.
That's not to say that it won't happen. Although such comprehension can't be pre-programmed, a computer may be able to learn it - just as we do. Concurrent with the Google collision (caused by 'old' computing, if you like) came a triumph of 'new' computing - of artificial intelligence. A computer has beaten the world's best 'Go' player, and, in order to do so, it had to learn increasingly complex levels of move and counter-move as the game progressed.
Perhaps it's just a matter of time before autonomous cars learn to assess the probable driving traits of other autonomous cars.

The Masterplan is a compilation album by English rock band Oasis, comprising B-sides which never made it onto an album. The album was originally intended for release only in areas such as the United States and Japan, where the tracks were only available on expensive European import singles. It was first released in late 1998. The Masterplan reached #2 in the UK where it went platinum, and #51 in the United States. However, it did gain top spot in various charts around the world, going on to sell 2 million copies. Four songs from the album appear on compilation album Stop the Clocks.
The versions of "Listen Up" and "I Am the Walrus" are edits of their original releases on the "Cigarettes & Alcohol" single. "Listen Up" has 8 bars removed during the guitar solo (4:3–4:39). "I Am the Walrus", with a fade-out, finishes at 6:25, whereas the original runs fully to a natural conclusion at 8:14.
"I Am the Walrus" was given its correct recording location and date on the sleevenotes. On its original release on the "Cigarettes & Alcohol" single, the location listed was the Glasgow Cathouse, in June 1994. However, in promotional interviews for The Masterplan, Noel revealed that it was actually recorded at the soundcheck for a gig at a Sony Music seminar at Gleneagles, Scotland, in February 1994. He said the credit was changed because he thought "recorded at a Sony seminar" would "look shit".
Chris Griffiths (of The Real People) was given a co-writing credit for "Rockin' Chair". On its original release on the "Roll with It" single in 1995, Noel Gallagher was credited as the sole songwriter.
"Acquiesce" was released as a radio single in the United States, and a promotional video was created for this purpose. It consisted of a live performance of the song from Manchester's G-MEX, recorded on 14 December 1997, with various behind-the-scenes footage of the band on tour. For the video, both Liam's and Noel's vocal tracks were overdubbed over the originals recorded live in Manchester.
All of the B-sides from the "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and the UK version of "Some Might Say" singles appear on this album.

euRobotics Forum Windows Setup
Toolchain InstallationWindows users can participate in the first part of the hands-on where Orocos components are created and used. Pay attention that installing the Orocos Toolchain on Win32 platforms may take a full day in case you are not familiar with CMake, compiling Boost or any other dependency of the RTT and OCL.
- Visual Studio 2005 or 2008
- CMake 2.6.3 or newer (2.8.x works too)
- Boost C++ 1.40.0
- Readline for Windows (see Taskbrowser with readline on Windows)
- Cygwin installation (default setup is fine)
See the Compiling on Windows with Visual Studio wiki page for instructions. The TAO/Corba part is not required to participate in the workshop.
You need to follow the instructions for RTT/OCL v2.3.1 or newer, which you can download from the Orocos Toolchain page. We recommend to build for Release.
In case you have no time nor the experience to set this up, we provide bootable USB sticks that contain Ubuntu Linux with all workshop files.
Workshop SourcesAn additional package is being prepared that will contain the workshop files. See euRobotics Workshop Sources for downloading the sources.
Windows users might also install the Kst program which is a KDE plot program that also runs on Linux. We provided a .kst file for plotting the workshop data. See the Kst download page.
Testing Your SetupIn case you completed building and installing RTT and OCL, you can launch a cygwin or cmd.exe prompt and run the orocreate-pkg script to create a new package, which is in your c:\orocos\bin directory. Make sure that your PATH variable is propertly extended with
(replace c:\orocos with the actual installation path, which might also be c:\Program Files\orocos)
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\orocos\bin;c:\orocos\lib;c:\orocos\lib\orocos\win32;c:\orocos\lib\orocos\win32\plugins
You repeat the classical CMake steps with this package, generate the Solution file and build and install it. Then start up the deployer with the deployer-win32.exe program and type 'ls'. It should start and show meaningful information. If you see strange characters in the output, you need to turn of the colors with the '.nocolors' command at the Deployer's prompt.
