Becoming Zen doesn't necessarily mean reaching enlightenment or any specific goal. It's more a journey and practice in living in the moment and experiencing peacefulness in our daily lives. You can practice Zen by focusing on the current task, keeping a positive attitude, and meditating. [1] X Research source
Method 1 of 3:
Practicing Zen Habits in Your Daily Life
1Do one thing at a time, do it deliberately and completely. Being Zen involves living in the moment and putting proper focus on our everyday routine. Avoid multitasking when possible.
- For example, when you are pouring water, just focus on pouring water. When you are eating, focus on your meal and experience your food.
- Take time to focus on the task at hand no matter how big or small. This means not looking at your phone while at the dinner table, or trying to multitask during your day. If you are answering an email. Focus only on answering the email before checking your favorite website.
- Put your focus into the task at hand to perform it deliberately, and take your time. Try not to move on to the next task until you complete your current one.
2Allow for space in your daily schedule. Try to do less with your day. This doesn't mean being lazy but instead refers to not filling your day with an unending list of tasks.
- Try to minimize the tasks and chores you need to accomplish every day. While this isn't always easy if you are in school or have a busy job, tackling fewer things in a day helps you to keep a clear mind. Focus on the now, don't obsess on the future.
- Additionally, try to leave free time in your schedule. Don't schedule appointments or meetings too close together. This only causes you to rush from one thing to the next. A packed schedule often draws your focus elsewhere to what you will have to accomplish later. Rather than what you are accomplishing now.
3Serve someone else. Try to do at least one thing a day that serves someone else.
- Remember to smile and be kind to others. The act of smiling can actually improve your mood by releasing endorphins. [2] X Research source
- Even if you're a parent or serve someone most days, encourage yourself to notice your actions. Don't just do it because you feel you have to. Try to actually enjoy the act of helping others.
4Make cooking and cleaning a form of meditation. Cooking and cleaning often feel like another thing that needs to get done. But these tasks can actually be daily rituals which help you embrace a more Zen lifestyle.
- Try to approach both cooking and cleaning as a form of meditation. Concentrate on what you are doing and the benefits of these tasks.
- Instead of just throwing ingredients together, actually prepare your food and take the time to enjoy the process of making a meal.
- Likewise, focus on how cleaning is literally a way to cleanse both you and your home. A clean room can alter your mood and help you relax. [3] X Research source
- Using these parts of your day as a form of meditation will help you to find meaning in ordinary tasks. [4] X Research source
5Only live with what is necessary. Living simply doesn't mean that you have to go and throw out all of your material possessions. But it does mean getting rid of what's not necessary.
- Take stock of what you own and ask yourself if you need all of it. Do you need all those pairs of shoes, the tablets and TVs, and other gadgets?
- You may find that if you get rid of some of the extra things which are making it easier for you to multitask and not be present, you can experience more joy from the moment.
- What's essential for each of us varies from person to person. Take note of what you use and do every day, and what is just sitting around or getting in the way.
Method 2 of 3:
Changing How you Act and React in Situations
1Think before you react. We often let ourselves react without thinking in stressful situations when someone annoys or angers us. If you want to be more Zen, next time you are in a situation where you are upset, take a moment to breathe.
- Oftentimes the first thing out of our mouths is not the best. Therefore, when trying to be more Zen, mull over what you want to say before you say it.
2Make negative situations and feelings positive. Try to put a positive spin on everything, even when it seems like that's not an option.
- If you reflect hard enough, you can usually find a way to turn a bad situation or feeling into a good one.
- Maybe you hate getting up to go to work. This could mean that you need to discover a new path in your life. Perhaps it's time to start looking for a new job. Take positive action by setting a time and day to update your resume and start networking.
- Don't ignore your negative thoughts or emotions. Accept that you have these feelings and take a moment to think about how you can counteract these bad feelings or thoughts with good ones. [5] X Research source
- If you feel beaten or rejected by something in your life, try to figure out what that is. Then reroute your thinking from "I'm not good enough," to "This is an opportunity to explore something new."
3Understand your anger. Becoming Zen isn't just about staying present and being happy. It's about understanding how our body and mind works, especially together. And using that knowledge to accept who we are, all our faults included. Sit comfortably for a while with your eyes closed and try to picture your anger as if it were tangible.
- What colors or images do you see? Notice anything that might come up which makes you angry. Your subconscious mind could be giving you clues as to what triggers your anger.
- Notice where your body tenses up and where you feel anger. Some people feel a pit in the stomach; others feel a burning in the chest.
- Breathe slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth.
- Jot down all of your angry thoughts and triggers. Write down where you felt your anger. Then, read what you wrote. Begin to form actionable steps on how to turn this anger into positive fuel and energy.
- It will take a while to tackle all of your inner demons. And that's ok because it's natural.
4Know when it's time to remove yourself. If you know that you are likely to speak without thinking or begin to feel that anger, fear, frustration, or any other negative emotion build up, it may be time to leave.
- Inaction in certain settings is the path to being Zen. By not acting negatively in a certain moment and leaving, you are choosing to act positively in another moment.
- Politely excuse yourself. Go for a walk outside and take a few minutes to breathe and find something to be grateful for.
5Get enough sleep. Negative moods, anxiety, depression, and a short temper are major side-effects of not getting enough sleep.
- Decide to go to bed earlier on weeknights.
- Unplug. Sleeping with the tv on or using your phone before bed affects how well you can fall asleep. The quality of your sleep after you dose off will also suffer. By keeping our eyes and brains stimulated from the blue light, noises, and pictures, we don't give our brains the proper time to prepare for rest. [6] X Research source
Method 3 of 3:
Meditating to Become Zen
1Sit or kneel in a position that is comfortable to you. There are many positions which you can situate yourself for meditation. However, you will find the best results in one which is comfortable to you. [7] X Research source
- The Burmese position has you sitting with your legs crossed and both your feet and knees on the floor.
- The Lotus or Half Lotus positions has you seated with both feet placed on the opposite thigh, or just one in the Half Lotus.
- Seiza posture positions your body so you are on your knees with your buttocks resting on your upturned feet.
- Chair position has you simply upright in a chair.
- For every position, place your hands folded together. One hand holds the other, palms up. Your thumbs are lightly touching. Rest your hands on either your feet or thighs depending on your position.
- Keep your back straight and your head positioned over your heart. Picture a beam extending from the crown of your head into the sky.
2Practice your breathing. Feeling your breath is the main focus when meditating.
- Breath in and out through your nose.
- Take steady breaths and notice how your body moves as you breathe. Your diaphragm should extend out as you breathe in to allow for more air.
- Breath through your whole body, taking the breath deep down and into your stomach and back.
3Pay attention to where your tension is. As you stay still and focus on your breath, you'll start to notice which parts of your body carry more tension. It may be your back, neck, or shoulders.
- During Zazen, Zen meditation, you will most likely experience tension. When you do, try to breathe into these areas and relax.
- If you find that your shoulders are tense, notice how you are positioned. Are your shoulders scrunched up? Let your body loosen up as you continue to breathe.
- If it helps, think of the tension blowing off of you with every breath.
4Relax your jaw. In Zazen, it's typical practice to keep your mouth shut. However, oftentimes, this causes people to clench the jaw.
- Keeping your jaw and facial muscles relaxed is a great way to release a lot of tension.
- Rub your jaw in circular motions before meditating to help loosen the muscles.
- Clenching your jaw can often lead to headaches.
- Put a slight smile on your face to keep your facial muscles loose.
5Don't fight your thoughts. In Zazen, it's common to keep your eyes open slightly and fixated on a certain point. This can sometimes cause you to become distracted. Try not to fight your thoughts.
- If you wish, you can also close your eyes.
- During meditation your mind will begin to wander. Let it. Try not to steer it in any way.
- Focus on your breathing as much as possible. Sometimes it helps to count your breaths from 1 to 10, then starting back at 1. The counting will allow you to stay in the moment of your breathing and not wander.

A NEW YOU: Spread the 'good' word
In 1989, two brothers began to sell T-shirts that they designed out of their used car. They drove up and down the East Coast, offering their designs college students. But after five years, the brothers weren't very successful selling door-to-door in college dormitories.
The brothers faced countless rejections during their T-shirt-selling road trips. "We tried and failed a thousand times," they told in an interview.
Nevertheless, they didn't want to give up on their dream. Yet, the business was struggling. So the brothers wondered if it was the T-shirt design that didn't appeal to the college students. Or, perhaps, the students didn't have the extra money to buy the shirts.
Rather than quitting, one brother, who was very creative, drew a smiling stick figure and underneath printed the words, "Life is good." As children, the boys learned to always look for the good in things. And they recalled how their mother would ask them daily, "Can you tell me something good that happened today?"
Wanting to spread the power of optimism, thereafter, they printed the smiling image and uplifting phrase on 48 T-shirts and sold them at a local fair. The shirts, with their positive "Life is good" message, were an immediate hit with customers. "We want to spread this message and help people understand the depth of what that means," one brother said. "It's not that life is easy or life is perfect. It's that life is good."
Today, brothers Bert and John Jacobs go by the titles of chief executive optimist and chief creative optimist. Their company offers hundreds of different apparel and accessories all featuring positive messages. Now, "Life is good" has grown to be a great success. And with more than $100 million in sales and merchandise in more than 4,500 stores in 30 countries, Life is good also donates a minimum of 10 percent of all sales to their nonprofit agenda.
How optimistic and joyful are you? When you wake up in the morning, are you hopeful and enthusiastic about the day ahead? Or, have life's challenges taken their toll on your outlook?
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens."
Today is a brand new day. Let's greet it with joy, for it's a gift from God. And it holds countless reasons to be thankful, to smile, to laugh, and to love. Everything may not be how you want it to be right now, but stay hopeful, stay optimistic and determined. Awhile back, my family and I attended a girls' basketball game. Our hometown team was playing in the finals, and many of our friends and neighbors turned-out to cheer on the team. However, while the girls played remarkably well and tried their best, they came in second place. After the game, although the coach was disappointed in the loss, he told the girls, "Do not judge the entire season by that loss."
In the same way, do not let temporary challenges bring down your entire future. You have the strength and courage within you to persist. Cease reliving and replaying in your mind all of the negative things that have happened. I have found that in times of trouble, you must especially guard your mind. It is especially then, when harmful, negative thoughts can bombard and attack. So stop looking at where you've been and begin to focus on where you can be today and tomorrow. Then, continue to persevere, for Scripture says, "For though a righteous man falls seven times, he will rise again" (Proverbs 24:16). I have a longtime friend who went through a difficult time. He had medical issues, experienced a tough legal situation, financial problems and the loss of a beloved family member.
Yet, amid it all, he continued to be one of the most optimistic, helpful and faithful people I know. He had every reason to be bitter, with a chip on his shoulder. However, my friend never lost his enthusiasm, his faith in God or his hopes for a brighter tomorrow. Whenever I saw him, he had a smile on his face. If I telephoned him, he'd tell me a joke, and I heard his hardy laugh across the phone line. When people needed help, he was always available for them. At all times, listening with a loving and caring ear, and then offering a kind, encouraging and optimistic answer.
With courage and an optimistic mindset, my friend decided to start a business. Little by little, his health improved, and his new business began to thrive. My friend said that daily he'd thank God that he was alive. He would thank Him for making him strong and able to make a difference in other people's lives. Then, he'd thank God for his family, friends, for supplying his needs and for new opportunities. "And, especially, I never abandoned optimism," my friend declared, smiling.
Today, all of my friend's difficulties have been resolved and turned around for good. He says that he is happier than ever before. And my friend's valuable example and guidance positively impacts countless lives.
I'm reminded of a favorite quotation of mine from Helen Keller:
"Resolve to keep happy and joyful and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties."
In the beginning of the year, I bought my daughters calendars, and they hung them on a side wall in their rooms. On this particular calendar, under the date, there is a place to write a little something for the day. What amazes me is that each and every day, my middle daughter writes, "Good day." She never neglects, at the close of the evening, to get a pen and write, "Good day."
Certainly, at a young age, she has captured the joy of life and makes the choice to be happy, regardless of circumstances. And we can do the same.
Just as everything changed when the Jacobs brothers added an optimistic "Life is good" message to their shirts, soon things are going to change for you. Breakthroughs are coming. Your full potential will be reached. And you'll be blessed in extraordinary ways that you cannot see or even imagine.
So, smile, get your joy back and brighten up with a delightful laugh. Do kind deeds, help others, and give them encouragement. Spread the good word! Let your joy be seen by those around you. And choose to live this day happy.
Keep optimistic. Fantastic opportunities are up ahead! Your positive outlook and attitude can bring about ultimate success and the realization of your dreams.

Four Things Parents Say to Their Children (but Shouldn't)
The easiest thing about having kids: loving them. The morning hugs. The bedtime cuddles and everything in between. It's incredible how quickly these little ones own your heart.
The hardest thing: disciplining them. It's painful. Can't we just talk this out? Can't you just promise NEVER to do it again -- and mean it this time?
But part of creating a supportive structure is by creating boundaries. And the "Time Out Chair" is only part of this discipline. Using the right words counts just as much.
Here are 4 phrases we -- as normal parents -- say all the time, but shouldn't.
1. "I'm Warning You": How many warnings can you give before actually punishing your child? Unfortunately, the answer is one. They're testing you and you know it. But for some reason it's not the right time or place to create a screaming fit. It never is. But kids need this discipline structure. They need to see you act on your first warning. Otherwise, they'll lose confidence in you. If you have a kid who loves to act out (my daughter as a two-year-old is a perfect example), the more you warn, the more she'll test you.
Create an environment -- perhaps the dinner table -- where you all talk about your feelings. Share your own work woes and how you're handling them, and encourage your kids to talk about the good and tough parts of their days. If one child is going through a particularly rough time, find more one-on-one times to talk. Kids often feel most comfortable talking when not looking right at you, so go bowling, shoot hoops or take a long drive or hike. But don't feel like you need to solve his problems. Often, all a child needs is to feel heard and understood.
3. "Because I Said So": This has to be the worst phrase ever. But how many of us have caught ourselves saying it?! Sometimes, it just works. But in the long run, it doesn't teach your child anything. Why no more video games? Why can't she have a sleepover on a Tuesday? Why can't he wear his favorite shirt two days in a row? Sometimes (okay, often) your logic won't resonate with your child. But she still heard you. And you know what? You might just hear her using this same reasoning a few weeks later. As exhausting as it can sometimes be, everything is a teachable moment.
4. "You Should've Known Better": This only makes a child feel, well ... dumb. This kind of statement might slip out of your mouth because you WISH they'd known better. But they just didn't. Maybe they need to be punished. Or maybe their disappointment will prevent a mistake like this again.
Clearly he didn't know better. Or, he thought he could get away with something. Either way, you are making him responsible for his actions and teaching him that he always will be.
You have the most important job in the whole world (no pressure!). And as parents, we have the additional mental tug-of-war of "coddling too much" versus "being too harsh." But a balance is good. The overall goal is to create a loving environment where you can also be stern. But it's a feeling that your kids know they can come to you with any concern. Even if it means they have to clean up a friend's bathroom!

Ryan Cramer specializes in the design and development of medium-to-large scale web sites and web applications through his company Ryan Cramer Design, LLC, located in Atlanta, GA. (See: Business Overview)
Ryan has been designing and developing online applications since 1990. Prior to wide adoption of the Internet, Ryan designed and developed applications for bulletin board systems (BBS), and ran Data Connection BBS for several years in the early 1990s. Data Connection BBS provided support for his applications like DataView. In addition, Data Connection BBS served as a major distribution point for the PC demo scene. During this time, Ryan was also involved in the demo scene as a musician for the U.S. demo group Renaissance.
In the mid 1990s, Ryan worked as a C++ programmer, developing online applications for various companies. In 1996, Ryan moved from BBSs to web sites, and has been designing and developing web sites consistently since that time. Prior to starting Ryan Cramer Design, LLC, he served as Senior New Media Designer at Grafik in Alexandria, VA, and then Director of New Media at CreativeBeast in Atlanta, GA. Ryan's design work has been seen in How Magazine, Net Diver, Communication Arts, Digital Thread, and more.
Ryan started Ryan Cramer Design, LLC (RCD), because he felt that the highest quality results can be produced when design and development go together, rather than being split among different specialists. As someone that maintains expertise in both, he likes to bring his development knowledge to the design process, and his passion for good design to the development process. Ryan's experience has been that this crossover leads to the best quality output for his clients, especially at the larger scale where such integration can also lead to significant cost savings.
Ryan's expertise also emphasizes design for, and development of, content management systems (CMS), especially for medium-to-large scale implementations. He has developed custom CMS platforms since 2001 and actively develops and implements the ProcessWire content management framework.

ExxonMobil to expand high-performance synthetic lubricants capacity in Louisiana
- New facilities to include synthetic base stocks manufacturing and finished lube blending and packaging
- More than $200 million investment to meet expected growth in product demand
- Project will create construction and full-time jobs
Baton Rouge, Louisiana – Sept. 27, 2012 – ExxonMobil is investing more than $200 million to expand its Baton Rouge chemical and lubricants plants to increase capacity for synthetic lubricant base stocks manufacturing and lubricants blending, packaging and storage.
The expansion will increase ExxonMobil's worldwide capacity of synthetic esters and alkylated naphthalene by more than 25 percent to meet the demand for high-performance lubricants made with these advanced products. The project will include construction of a state-of-the-art blending center for synthetic aviation oil at ExxonMobil's lubricant blending plant in Port Allen, Louisiana."ExxonMobil continues to invest in its operations in Louisiana," said Paul Stratford, manager of the Baton Rouge chemical plant. "Over the past three years, the corporation's capital expenditures in the state exceeded $930 million. These investments help create jobs and contribute to the economic growth of the state and the region."
Construction is expected to begin in late 2012. The project will create more than 400 direct construction jobs and the facilities will provide 45 new full-time local jobs when production begins in 2014.
This expansion project will make ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge chemical plant the world's largest producer of synthetic esters and alkylated naphthalene, which are used by producers and marketers of a wide variety of finished lubricants that includes vehicle motor oils, gear oils and greases, as well as specialized lubricants for aviation, marine and industrial applications.
The new facilities in Baton Rouge will replace ExxonMobil's existing base stock manufacturing and aviation lubricants blending, packaging and storage operations in Edison, New Jersey, which will continue production until the new facilities in Louisiana begin operation."The new aviation lubricants blending center reflects our continuing commitment to safe and reliable supply of aviation and other lubricant products," said Julius Bedford, manager of ExxonMobil's lubricant blending plant in Port Allen, Louisiana. The 8.3-acre facility will manufacture more than 145 lubricant products and have an annual throughput of more than 90 million gallons.
The expansion, coupled with the new metallocene polyalphaolefins plant under construction at ExxonMobil's chemical complex in Baytown, Texas, positions the company to meet long-term demand growth for high-performance lubricants that deliver greater energy efficiency, improved durability and extended drain intervals.
ExxonMobil operates 32 facilities in Louisiana with an annual payroll of more than $400 million. The company's presence in the state includes more than 11,000 employees, retirees and contractors. ExxonMobil is one of Louisiana's largest taxpayers, paying more than $116 million in annual state and local taxes. The company also provided more than $6 million in contributions to charitable and civic organizations in Louisiana last year.More on ExxonMobil Chemical synthetic esters: Esterex™ esters add enhanced lubricating properties along with low volatility and good solubility characteristics to engine and industrial lubricant applications; Synesstic™ AN (Alkylated Naphthalene) blendstocks are outstanding base fluids and blendstocks for lubricants in a variety of automotive and industrial applications. Lubricants formulated with Synesstic AN can be more stable and higher performing.
About ExxonMobilExxonMobil, the largest publicly traded international oil and gas company, uses technology and innovation to help meet the world's growing energy needs.

Thank you for opening my web site. I hope you enjoy. If you want to jump right in and scroll through my images, please do. If you should want to read what makes me do what I do, to include my use of editing tools and why I think my photography is fine art, check out the top of the web site at the tool/navigation bar and open the section, "About My Photography". By the way, I have thousands and thousands of images in my inventory, but only display about 75 or so of my favorites within my on-line web galleries.
If you are looking for a particular genre/category (e.g. botanical, storms, lighthouses, etc., etc), please give me a shout and I'll send you a few specific selections via an email or text.
Fine art photography for your home or office or as a gift, may have too many variables to purchase via a simple shopping cart without dialogue with the artist; e.g. 1 or 2 mats or no mat; satin or metallic paper; what frame size works best; a color stroke around the image, or not; and what about an image size larger or smaller to fit a specific space? Also, the prices below don't include "atypical / one offs" ; for example; canvas, metallic, glass, triptychs, small sizes like 4" X 6" or 5" X 7", or large sizes like 24" X 30" , 16" X 48", etc.
I encourage customizing your piece to your specific display space. That process generally takes a little time. So when you see an image with a potential connection, give me a call, email or text and we can start a dialogue leading to a product you will be proud to own and display. I accept credit cards and generally deliver your finished product, ready to hang.
Thank you
Sales taxes & shipping additional. Other sizes plus matting and framing options are available.

The summer break has begun for me (yesss!!) and as always I'm taking advantage of having to do nothing but lounge around all day, everyday - Great, right?! Not really! Every summer I seem to fall into this 'get up late, go to bed late' routine & it does nothing but prevent me from doing exciting, productive things. This year however, (queue the amazing plan that is not so amazing!) I have compiled a small list of little things (best to keep it simple!) I can do / work towards to make my break that little bit more exciting! It's not the neatest - but I guess it's kinda cute & shows what a bit of boredom and sunshine can make you think about.
Most of the plans are achievable (except for number 4 - but I guess it is possible!) so I can't see why I couldn't tick them off. Hopefully I'll make the most of the free time I have (whether I will or not is a different story...) but I'll keep you posted on how the list works out for me!
Also, saying as I'm feeling the summer vibes I'll leave you with a couple of songs that I listen to that make me think of summer & sun;
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk // The Drums - Let's Go Surfing // Vampire Weekend - Holiday
I swear, Vampire Weekend just make the best 'feel good' summery songs - give them a whirl (if you haven't already!) & tell me what you think or if you've made any plans for Summer!

19 September 2007
In the last few days we have seen Northern Rock suffer a dramatic loss in consumer confidence and consequently customers. In spite of the Government issuing a guarantee that Northern Rock customers would not loose any money, customers have queued in their thousands to withdraw money from the wavering building society.
Ironically the longest queues were experienced with those trying to log in online.
The biggest area where we see consumers being unforgiving in this instance is when they cannot access the Internet site to view or transfer their money. We are all programmed to expect to access our regular and favourite websites 24 hours a day.
So often I come across clients who spend a fortune on their web site and then underestimate the environment where the site then resides. Ironically, the hosting of the site is probably the most important factor in both winning new business and retaining clients, as it directly affects the customer service your users will experience.
Google keep their cards close to their chest with the rules that may give one company a competitive advantage over another; however one thing that is clear and has been apparent for a few years now is that clients investing in servers that provide a better experience to their customer receive a better ranking from the search engines.
If you are unsure on the importance of a fast site over a well designed but slower site, it is easy to demonstrate. How many times have you come across an ugly text based site that ranks highly on the search engines yet the clever flashy ones selling a similar product appear much lower? It happens all the time. The answer is Google rates sites on the speed they deliver their information.
The Northern Rock's online calamity is indeed unfortunate. It is always difficult to predict the extremes; however it is possible. In fact it is easier to do now than ever before.
The simple way to do this is create an environment that is scalable. At the same time you need to minimise the risk of downtime and probably the best way to do this is, is with database replication. It may sound complicated, however there are companies who specialise in this type of hosting.
Tick these 2 boxes and you are some way to creating the perfect online environment. Capacity and resilience are key to guaranteeing your customers get the best experience.
So why are Northern Rock customers unhappy, and are they right to be unhappy?
The answer to this is down to the fact that their confidence is dented. It is one thing having to get information second hand via the news or word of mouth. It is another if your site that you rely on disappears. Sadly I think Northern Rock should really have been ready for this sort of potential disaster. I'd imagine they may have felt that having the absolutely massive infrastructure to deal with this unusual problem was unnecessary as the chance of this happening was unlikely.
Worryingly they collapsed with real customers however the biggest threats on the Internet come from Service Denial attacks. These could happen to literally anyone hosting a site and they are very common these days. A service Denial attack is when a computer or multiple computers around the Internet all try and log on to a site at the same time, literally flooding the network, switches and servers. The result is down time.
Most businesses who take hosting very seriously will have this at the top of their agenda when designing their network. If Northern Rock had a scaleable infrastructure they would have dealt with this matter far more effectively.
Some of the larger businesses in the UK often suffer from wanting to host their main database in their office. This creates a bottle neck in the time of adversity and high bandwidth. The modern approach is to host your company data on the Internet in a purpose built datacentre, protect it as you would if it were in your own office and host it to as near the hub of the Internet as possible.
Do this and you are guaranteed success.
Do you ever see Google fall over? Google is a company who takes its hosting very seriously indeed, and they have got quite an impressive online track record!
If you ever want help on this matter, or if you have questions, drop me a line at UKFast. I love this subject. Clients who take my advice make millions literally. It is the future and it needs to be taken so seriously if you want to be successful as a business person.
For all the Northern Rock customers who have had a bad time, as the press dies down so will the traffic and eventually they will be able to deal with all your traffic again. If you move to another bank sadly you have no guarantee that they'd have been able to deal with a similar problem.

Last night, things got messy in one of the main, most well-known hubs for GamerGate-related discussion as one of its ringleaders had a years-delayed moral crisis. u/david-me set put the subreddit with 96,000 subscribers on private, ousted the other moderators, and deleted the subreddit's CMS. In an explanation titled "Righting a Wrong" posted in a subreddit dedicated to subreddit conflict, u/david-me said that the subreddit had become "infested with racism and sexism .... and other ism'" and called the creation of the subreddit "a mistake."
"Until now. KiA is one of the many cancerous growths that have infiltrated reddit," u/david-me wrote. "The internet. The world. I did this. Now I am undoing it. This abomination should have always been aborted." u/david-me also cited harassment targeting his diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and generalized anxiety disorder as a reason for attempting to shutter the subreddit.
Gamergate, which took hold as a concept back in 2014, became a way to justify threats of murder, rape, and other forms of violence against women who developed video games and wrote game reviews under a smokescreen of "ethics in gaming journalism," and r/KotakuInAction was a nexus for this activity from the beginning. More recently, the subreddit is commonly graced by posts defending Jordan Peterson — a man known for recruiting vulnerable young men into the alt-right using tactics that target people with depression — and discussion on the subreddit related to "Social Justice" makes feminism a common target.
r/KotakuInAction has tried to brand itself as a respectful place to discuss all things relevant to the Gamergate dialogue. Its set of rules that explicitly condemns harassment. "Attack arguments," the rules read, "not people." But if the treatment of u/david-me is any indication, the community isn't exactly open to criticism. And as the attempted shutdown by u/david-me indicates, it's too late for a Hail Mary to shut things down, and it's perhaps too late to change the subreddit's culture of the better. u/david-me's action comes not long after Reddit made sweeping changes in an attempt to clean up harassment, hate speech, and bigotry on its platform, but even more shortly after its founder declared that keeping it clean would be impossible.
By taking action against discriminatory harassment and abuse in /r/KotakuInAction, /u/david-me became another unfortunate target of harassment and abuse — definitely and totally not proving u/david-me's point at all. "I'm closing shop and I can't allow anyone to exploit my handicap," u/david-me wrote in r/Drama. "I've watched and read every day. Every single day. The mods are good at what they do, but they are moderating over a sub that should not exist." u/david-me did not respond to The Outline's request for comment.

I love how many of Kidecals labels are waterproof so they won't come off in the dishwasher or the rain. And Kidecals also carries nonpersonalized labels, such as:
Kidecals was kind enough to allow me to select some labels for review, and I selected the following items.

My husband brews beer, so I got these labels for him to put on the bottles!

I love all of the labels I ordered! They are of very high quality and all waterproof, so they'll last a good long time. The colors are bright, the designs are fun, and they really catch the eye!

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is the tale of a happily married couple with absolutely everything going for them. These two have been married for many years now and have always lived the absolute perfect life. For all appearance they have the perfect life and the perfect marriage. But then one day Amy simply vanishes and the truth begins to come out about what the two have been hiding. Because their relationship definitely wasn't perfect and their lives were very far from it. They had a lot of secrets to hide but did one of them lead to Amy's disappearance?
Who Killed Amy Dunne?
When Amy's disappearance is really looked into there is so much discovered about her life and the way that she lived it that more than one person begins to look good for her murder. But none seems to look quite as good as her own husband Nick. It seems he has a few things of his own to hide and he doesn't seem to be as forthcoming as those searching for Amy think he should be. In fact, he seems almost to be hiding something about her disappearance. Does he know more than he's letting on?
Amy has written a diary that seems to depict her own husband as an evil man who is incredibly aggressive and difficult to live with while she is very easy to live with (of course). Nick on the other hand seems to think that Amy is not as good of a person as her diary would have people believe. There's more to this disappearance than meets the eye and at least one of the main characters are definitely lying at least about one thing or the other. But is Amy really dead? Has she really disappeared?
When things finally come to light it's going to be a shock to more than one person but on the other hand it may not be as surprising to everyone that things haven't been what they seem. Nick and Amy both had secrets to hide and they're both going to have to find a way to hide those secrets if everything is going to come out okay. But how can things come out all okay when Amy is dead and her husband looks like he may be the one who did it? You'll never see the ending of Gone Girl coming, just like Amy and Nick never saw it coming.
November 12, 2013 at 2:38 am
This is one of those cases where it's not necessarily so easy to say the husband did it. In Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn there's so many other people that may have done it if Amy's diary is to be believed. It's shocking what she's been hiding from most of the world. So of course this raises the question of whether she's been murdered at all. I wasn't sure what was going to happen or what we would find until the very end. I kept thinking I had it all figured out and then another twist would be thrown in and I'd know I wasn't even close.
November 12, 2013 at 2:38 am
There are so many great murder mystery stories around and I am an avid reader of pretty much all of them. So I was interested in reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I was amazed at the perfect life that the couple lives and then for her to just vanish seemed unreal. Of course I suspected the husband for a while too just like everyone else but then I wasn't so sure as it started to go on and get more confusing. There was so much happening and so many people weren't necessarily who they said they were that it made me think twice and I loved it.

Wigan Warriors opened their Physical Disability Rugby League season with a trip over the Pennines to Yorkshire.
The festival format proposed by the Rugby Football League saw 6 teams competing in the opening round. Playing against established sides in Leeds, Wakefield, Castelford and PDRL World Champions Warrington was a baptism of fire.
The opening game saw the Warriors versus a well drilled Leeds outfit, whom eventually ran out 34-6 victors. Using skill and flare to move the ball around was often thwarted by the resolute Rhinos, until try scorer Ben Seward took the initiative and straighten up to score under the posts, the conversion added by Carl Moore. This brought the score to 18-6 after a tough 15 minutes. The Leeds side used their experience to score a few late tries, expertly converted from the side line to bring the game to a close.
The second fixture saw the Warriors come out on top of a free scoring affair, Ben Seward was on the score sheet again, this time adding 3 tries to his personal tally. All tries converted by Carl Moore saw the Warriors seal a narrow victory 18-16. Their opponents, the Barbarians (invitational side) really tested the Warriors' defence and lessons learnt in game one came to the fore.
Scott Burns (Head Coach) commented:
"We are really please as a team that we've complete out first couple of fixtures. We've learned a lot by coming up against more experienced players and are really looking forward to the next festival".
"We'll be back to training this week to fine tune a few of our skills and look at the improvements we can make. The lads really performed well today and showed some real desire and hunger. I'd like to thank the coaching, management and medical team for their support and making this opportunity available!"

|View this file on the M&B NexusFile Listing: Native Expansion for Warband
Last Updated: Mar 28, 2012, 11:40:38 pm
First Created: Jan 19, 2012, 12:57:46 pm
Author: Native ExpansionDownload Now
=== Native Expansion ===
Native Expansion in a nutshell is just that - an extension of the original game, Mount & Blade (and now Warband). Whereas many mods strive to differentiate themselves by radically changing the game or its mechanics, NE is an attempt to take the same awesome gameplay experience which makes M&B so fun and put it on steroids, by adding missing features, fixing native bugs and extending gameplay further. You can liken it to us trying to follow directly in the M&B developer's footsteps. We improve factions troops and relations. Manage your kingdom like never before, send companions out on diplomatic missions, hire or defend yourself from assassins, wage war against the dreaded Dark Knights or subvert the nations of the world. New soldiers, new items, new quests and extensions of just about every gameplay mechanic await you.
First and foremost, our goal is for us and others to have fun. After that, our goal is to provide a rich gameplay experience that doesn't change what you'd expect from M&B, only makes it better. It's as simple as that. We're Native, but better. We're Warband, but better. We stand on the shoulders of giants and reach just a little bit higher.
Native Expansion: More better stuff.
=== Features ===
This feature list is quite long, and thus has been broken down into many different categories. Note, some of the content only applies to the latest beta series (called the 600 series). Also note, we often attempt, whenever possible, to provide the player with the ability to turn a feature on or off in the camp menu, in the event they want to revert to the Native style play. The full feature list would be hard to even document, so here are some of the highlights. At the bottom of the highlights is a large list of many features, large or small.
=== Rebalanced Kingdoms, Troops and Items ===
Every soldier and item in the game has been overhauled, with careful attention paid to game balance. We tried to add a lot of flavor into the mix, but balance was the goal at the end of the day. Each Kingdom has an entirely reworked troop tree (expanded below), built from the ground up with a standard formula to ensure that no "super soldiers" sneak in and every faction has its own strengths and weaknesses. Here are some faction by faction details below:
=== The Six Kingdoms of Swadia and their Soldiers ===
* All factions now adhere to 1 of 2 standard troop trees, with a maximum of 5 upgrades needed to reach the end of the tree
* All factions are now either a generalist or a specialist in a particular field of Infantry, Archers and Cavalry
* All faction soldiers adhere to the strict leveling guideline, which ensures all soldiers could be realistically built by the player
* Specialist factions see higher level caps in their specialty and higher level elites
* Generalist factions have lower level caps, but have a more diverse troop tree and no weaknesses
The three specialist factions: Swadia, Vaegirs and Nord
* Swadia reigns supreme with their Heavy Cavalry, being the only faction with access to premium Warhorses and full-body armored Elites
* Swadia's focus on Cavalary leaves their ranged prowess weakened, leaving them as the faction with the poorest crossbow users and no archers
* They have the best access to heavy armors and heavy warhorses, including unique Swadian platemails and horses
* Crush your enemies with the stalwart Paladin and convert them to your cause with the Priest Heavy Cav, the latter of which uses exclusively blunt weapons
* Vaegir bow might is unmatched, being the only faction which maxes out the Power Draw skills and with access to elite bows
* Vaegir dedication to the bow leaves their Infantry much weakened, requiring them to rely on ranged support more
* They have exclusive access to the powerful Ivory Bows and Arrows
* Their lethality at range makes them an amazing siege force. Reign death from above with the Ivory Sentinel, guarded by the fierce Knyaz
* Nord fury in melee is frightening in the least, with equally-competent branches of One-handed and Two-handed Heavy Infantry
* Nord melee prowess, though unmatched, leaves little room for equestrian training - Nord Cavalry is severely weakened
* Even the lowliest Nord soldiers are ready for melee combat, and all are eager for blood
* Overrun the toughest defenses with the aggressive Einherjar and defend your castles from anything with the Valkyrie's shields.
The three generalist factions: Sarranid, Khergit, Rhodok
* Desert-tempered Sarranids strike a balance between prowess in skirmish combat and Cavalry, having the 2nd-best Heavy Cav
* The Sarranid's heavier reliance on skirmish weapons like Jarids leave their bow skills somewhat weakened
* Sarranid's wide variety of both Cav and Infantry leave them many options for conquering their enemies
* The well-equipped Zhayedan is the only Heavy cav which can stand up to Swadian Paladins, and the Spahbod Serden will hold his own against Nordic Einherjar
* Lightning-fast Khergits maintain superiority in ranged mounted combat, relying on speed and weapon variety
* Their focus on mounted combat leaves their soldiers at a disadvantage when on foot, though they compensate somewhat with their new Light Infantry, the Kharash
* Khergit Horses are the fastest in the game, making them great for fast-moving, fast-attacking skirmish forces
* Kite your slow-moving enemies with the supremely accurate Keshik or lightning-fast Guanren
* Rhodok soldiers stem from rebellious peasant roots, maintaining a diverse profile of infantry, cavalry and maintaining mastery of the Crossbow
* Rhodok soldiers suffer very few weaknesses, but their Crossbow users lack the mobility of archers and their Cavalry are only mid-range
* Rhodok are the only faction with access to mounted crossbow wielders, and their heavy infantry are skilled
* Penetrate the thickest armor with the elite Arbalestier and screen the enemy with the brutal Spear Knight
=== Mercenary War Bands and Bandits ===
* Mercenary War Bands wander the countryside, ambushing those they can or making themselves for hire for the cunning Lord
* Bandits are no more just an annoyance; be prepared for a stand up fight
* Many quests for bandits are planned for future releases[/spoiler]
=== The Dark Knight invasion ===
* An optional (default on) invasion of epic proportions await you to spice up the mid and end game.
* Prepare to face off against elite soldiers bent on conquering Calradia
* Will the Dark Knights prevail, or will the six kingdoms unite to fight off the threat they face?
=== Many new quests ===
* Dozens of new quests await you in NE, given out by a wide assortment of NPCs
* Help the Guildmaster track down cheese thieves
* Crash a wedding and be a hero to some, a villain to others
(NOTE: Some of these feature descriptions might be slightly inaccurate due to changes in newer versions)
* Massive number of new and rebalanced troops - every tree has been redesigned from scratch
* Troops are now organised into three tiers. As a landless player, you will only have access to the Peasant Line of troops which you can recruit as normal from villages.
* When you eventually become a landowner, Noble troops are available to recruit in towns. All factions have their own Noble Troop lines. You can only recruit nobles from a faction you are member of
* If you choose to become a king or queen, you will have access to special Elite troops which can be obtained by sacking an enemy capital, or building your own recruitment centre in a captured city. Elite troops echo the strengths of their originating faction. You can also find these soldiers to rescue or capture and convert.
* New parties patrol the map. Fear the new Kingdom Patrols, led by elite troops, and the holy Crusaders, rugged Ivory Guards, massive Hordes, vicious Berserkers, noble Councilmen, and Sarranid Dervishes.
* Mercenary bands now roam the countryside. They're quite tough, but excellent source of loot and money for the experienced commander.
* Bandit troop numbers have been supplemented (parties are bigger).
* Lords have been boosted, and Kings made far stronger. They are extremely deadly on the field of battle.
* Faction monarchs are now often accompanied by contingents of elite guard. Even an experienced army may have a hard time with them.
Weapons and Armour
* Large number of new weapons and armour.
* Unique items can be gained from loyalty to your king, if you become a vassal.
* Special quest items can be gained from doing quests for other faction leaders.
* Kings have unique weapons.
* If you are a monarch of your own kingdom and you own a town with a blacksmith forge, there is a good chance the blacksmiths will decide to forge a crown for you.
* Lords can be looted after a battle. This means, in theory, it is possible to get the unique weapons off the kings if you manage to defeat them. A higher looting skill will improve your chances of this.
* Lots of new horses. Each faction has a specialty horse or two, generally allocated to Elite troops. All horses can be bought at the horse merchant.
* A new food type has been added called hardtack. It gives 0 morale boost, but it lasts a VERY long time. Wine and ale are now consumables.
* A new item - Whiskey – has been added which gives a +30 morale boost when in inventory, but reduces your pathfinding and spotting skills. This item can only be gained through a quest.
* If you are a vassal of an existing kingdom and you get a 50 or higher relation with them the monarch will reward you with a special item.
Dark Knight Invasion
* After a random time in game, a mysterious faction with incredibly powerful troops will invade Calradia from a random direction. At first, only the kingdoms closest to them will bother to fight, but after a while, as their foothold grows, all kingdoms will come to realize this threat for what it is. You can change when they will begin their invasion (including never) in the game settings menu (accessed by camping.)
On the Battlefield
* Death Cam - Many battles will now continue even after the player is knocked out. Hit the jump key to start moving the camera around the map to get a better look at what's happening. Use tab to leave the mission when you want to end it. Attack and defend change the height of the camera, and the forward, back, left, right keys control it's position and look angle. Hold shift to move faster. To order your troops in this mode, use Nackspace to call up the console.
* Troop Formation system has been implemented. See below for instructions.
* Troop Morale system has been tweaked. When a reinforcement wave arrives a fleeing army will rally and a commander's tactics and leadership skills will reduce the chances of their army fleeing in terror. This works for both the player and the AI, so be careful of monarch led armies, chances are they will never flee in terror. You can turn off the morale system from the camp menu and troops will never flee.
* Long term wounding has been added. If the player or a companion is knocked out in combat they will suffer a wound (-2) to one of their physical stats. The wound will heal, but it will take time. The player's wounds are listed in the player report, and the companion wounds are listed in the party morale report screen. The wounding system can be turned off from the game settings menu (accessed by camping.)
* Modified Shield Bash code has been implemented (Hold defend and click attack while a shield is in hand.)
* Spear Wall ability has been added. When on foot and with a spear type weapon equipped hit b to brace the weapon on the ground. Any cavalry charge against a braced spear will suffer horrible damage usually resulting in the death of the horse. While braced you cannot move, attack, or defend, doing so will release the brace. Troops that are also on foot and armed with a similar weapon will also periodically move into a spear wall stance if they have been given the Hold Position or Stand Your Ground orders. Damage from the spearwall is based on the speed of the horse. If the horse is going slow enough it will take no damage at all.
* On the battle map a white dot will mark the location of your inventory chest
* Similar factions can now group up in combat on the map screen. But only units that makes sense to fight. Passing villagers and caravans will not join most battles unless they are forced to.
* In field battles you can whistle for your horse. If you dismount and run around killing people hitting the 'm' key will cause your horse to come to you. Of course, if your horse is dead or you never had one to begin with then nothing will happen.
* There is a possibility (based on the lord's personality) that the player will be allowed to go after being defeated, rather than taken prisoner.
* When defeated, the player will be given a chance to make an escape based on their pathfinding skill
New Quests
* 20+ new quests. Talk to the guild master, lords, ladies and village elders to receive these quests. Also, there is a quest given by each faction leader which is rewarded with a unique new weapon. Talk to a king/queen when you reach level 10 to receive these quests. Be warned that these quests provide fairly stiff challenges.
* The Looting system has been completely rewritten from scratch. The looting skill is worth something now and you will notice this immediately. If you have 0 looting you will have a hard time getting enough loot to upkeep a decent sized army. If you have 10 looting then money will never be a problem for you again so long as you keep killing things. The party looting skill is still used for looting village, etc. However, only the player's skill is used to determine what loot is available to a player after a battle. The companions with looting skill have sold all the loot they found for more money for themselves. They are mercenaries, are they not? You can turn this off in the Camp menu and go back to the classic Native looting system if you want.
* Towns and castles owned by the player will now periodically gain and train troops into their garrison exactly the same as with NPC owned towns.
* Player owned kingdoms have the possibility of making peace with kingdoms they haven't angered too badly. But it'll cost them.
* If you have defeated an enemy kingdom and have lots of captured enemy lords on your hands you can either wait for their ransom or try to convince them to join your faction. To try to convince them you need to have them rotting in a town or castle's prison. Go visit them in the dungeon and give them your ultimatum. The higher your persuasion and the more they like you the better the chance of them joining you. However, if you're very persuasive and they really don't like you it may be difficult to actually get them to follow your orders once they've changed sides.
* You can ask for lands back from the lord. Be careful, he will either agree or he will take his land and leave for a different faction similar to when the player refuses to give up captured land. To ask for it back you must visit the lord in person. Such matters are best discussed in person, after all.
* Taking a castle or town in battle now causes a negative relation with the previous owner. This is to help balance how easy it is to recruit defeated faction lords.
* A travelling minstrel is appearing at a tavern near you. He'll sing a song commemorating your achievements, if you ask him nicely.
* As well as bandits, you now have to deal with Assassins as you climb the ranks. If you hold no fiefs, you will be beneath notice, but as you rise in rank and power, other lords will take notice, and hire assassins to hunt you down. A successful assassin attack will leave you debilitated and bedridden for a period of time, which may have serious repercussions if it happens at a critical point in the game.
* You too can order Assassin attacks, if you are ruler of a Kingdom. Speak to your Spymaster, who will give you options to either 'assassinate' a lord, or at

Turned out to be a yuge victory for the Donald and a blistering win for a new "convert" to the Democrat Party in Bernie Sanders.
The early results didn't dampen the spirits or the turnout. Among the local political glitterati turning out: Mayor Dawn Zimmer, Freeholder Anthony "Stick" Romano, Councilman Ruben Ramos and a rumored appearance by City Council President Jen Giattino. Pupie swung by and posted guard at the door.
Hoboken's big Gang of Four was jubiliantly joined by former NJ State Senate President and advisor to the stars Bernie Kenny, NJ Assemblyman Raj Mukherji and council members Peter Cunningham, Mike DeFusco and Ravi Bhalla.
The Hudson County View's John Heinis made the scene and spoke with Freeholder Romano and Hoboken Housing Authority Chair Dana Wefer.
Everyone was imbibing and no one was arguing about bike lanes on Washington Street and how to progressively reduce the average speed there to the equivalent of Lincoln Tunnel traffic during rush hour.
While good cheer abounded, one eyewitness report suggests not all the local donkeys are ready to settle for Hillary preferring her opponent who doesn't know one family cult of personality is running the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. More free stuff for the person who can explain how that's possible while holding a US Senate seat.
Will they change their minds if Hillary unleashes the infamous
That "Bern" may take on a feeling more like a STD. Oooh, it berns.
Bernie Sanders best be ready because the hounds of hell are going to be unleashed on him with guns chatter galore. Hillary Clinton will be looking for new talking points, also called robotic spiel when it applies to Marcomentum (salud to Chris Christie on his infamous murder-suicide) and that means guns, guns and more guns or a hate fest on the Constitution. That's the US version not the Soviet model for all you kids playing at home.
After the plethora of hate on guns and numerous other American freedoms, the Clinton strategy will go into high octane pandering mode for the minority vote. You'll be hearing everywhere but Chicago how African American youth are falling in record numbers with Hillary's tireless caring. What you won't be hearing is anything about the shooter but that won't stop Black Lives Matter radicals from Clinton photo ops and sight unseen a bounty of checks cashed with it. One forlorn check will go undeposited.
On the elephant side of the animal party ledger, Donald Trump scored a yuge victory in a second straight consecutive record turnout for outraged stampeding elephants. There's better 1970 toothpaste commercials out there than the stump speeches Trump doles out with simple pro American credos featuring Americans winning on jobs, trade and the economy. A first time political novice crushed all his sophisticated experienced competitors, their political consultant class and pundits by appealing to Americans not the illegal alien vote? How utterly charming.
Irony of ironies, the winners of the New Hampshire primary consists of a New York City moderate Democrat from Queens and a hard core socialist from Brooklyn who wanted to take his betrothed to the beloved Soviet Union before the Berlin Wall fell with Ronald Reagan teaming up with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul the Great taking down the evil empire.
How romantic.

Barty's Open hopes soar as upsets continue
Ashleigh Barty's Australian Open title prospects have soared after another day of carnage at Melbourne Park.
World No.2 Karolina Pliskova, fifth-ranked Elina Svitolina and sixth seed Belinda Bencic all joined 2019 champion Naomi Osaka and seven-time winner Serena Willams on the Open scrap heap with shock third-round exits.
Elevated to outright favourite to break Australia's 42-year Open title drought, Barty's highest-ranked obstacle in her path to the final is world No.7 Petra Kvitova, while the bottom half of the draw has also been blown wide open.
Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova snapped a run of six-straight defeats to Pliskova to end the big-serving Czech's campaign with a shock 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-3) win on Rod Laver Arena in the day's first big upset.
Pliskova was previously unbeaten in 2020, having won the season-opening Brisbane International and two earlier matches in Melbourne.
But the second seed never looked comfortable in Saturday's warmer conditions, throwing her racquet in disgust at one changeover and generally labouring about the court throughout the two-hour, 25-minute encounter.
"Let's say I was about 40 per cent today," Pliskova said.
Twice previously a quarter-finalist in Melbourne, including last year, Pavlyuchenkova's victory was her 33rd over a top-10 rival - but her first against Pliskova.
"I am really happy," the tournament's 30th seed said.
"I know we always say we want to enjoy, but I did enjoy. I had goosebumps after some points.
"It was really nice to get a win and beat Karolina for the first time - it was amazing.
"Honestly, I was trying to think 'OK, if I take at least one or two games on her serve, it would be amazing', because she serves so good.
"She is the ace queen on tour. That was my goal - to return well today."
Pavlyuchenkova moves on to play Angelique Kerber for a quarter-final spot.
Germany's 2016 champion and former world No.1 continued her quiet progression through the draw with a hard-fought 6-2 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 win over Italian Camila Giorgi.
Bencic bombed out in a 6-0 6-1 capitulation to Estonia's Anett Kontaveit before former world No.1 Garbine Muguruza sent Svitolina packing with a 6-1 6-2, 67-minute dispatch of the 2019 WTA Finals runner-up.
Eyeing her first grand slam quarter-final, Kontaveit faces Iga Swiatek on Monday, with the unheralded Pole ousting Croatian 19th seed Donna Vekic 7-5 6-3.
The resurgent Muguruza plays ninth seed Kiki Bertens or Zarina Diyas next on Monday for a quarter-final spot.
Wimbledon champion Simona Halep avoided the exodus of big-name stars with a stress-free 6-1 6-4 win on Saturday over Yulia Putintseva to emerge as the finals favourite from the depleted bottom half.
The fourth seed and 2018 runner-up will play Elise Mertens after Belgium's 16th seed and 2018 semi-finalist stopped American CiCi Bellis 6-1 6-7 (5-7) 6-0.

Shopping Center Group to Revamp Atlanta Retail Space
- By
- Oct 21, 2016
by Evelina Croitoru
Atlanta— The Shopping Center Group, one of the largest privately held real estate advisory firms in the U.S., has announced the repositioning of 25,000 square feet of retail space at East West Commons in Austell, Ga. The redevelopment is slated for completion in 2017, with demolition expected to commence this month.
Located at 1757 East-West Connector, the redevelopment project will feature two buildings, including a 4,300-square-foot, freestanding Panera Bread with drive-thru access and a 10,000-square-foot building to include Moe's Southwest Grill and The Vitamin Shoppe. Another 5,000 square feet is still available for complementary retail and dining options. The overall shopping center totals 186,000 square feet, with a current roster including T.J. Maxx, Bealls, OfficeMax, PetSmart and Party City. Target and Lowe's are shadow anchors at the center, occupying spaces that are not owned by Cole Credit Property Trust IV Inc.
"We are converting a former, larger tenant space into two vibrant retail buildings that will re-energize a portion of the shopping center. As a result, this new development became attractive to several national tenants due to enhanced visibility and curb appeal along the East-West Connector," Patrick Bentley, senior leasing advisor with The Shopping Center Group, said in a prepared statement.
Bentley led the leasing team alongside VEREIT Inc., which leases and manages the shopping center on behalf of Cole Credit Property Trust IV Inc., which owns the property. The team developed a leasing strategy that will transform a previously vacant storefront into prime retail and restaurant space. VEREIT Senior Vice President Brett Sheets and Vice President Greg Browne worked in conjunction with Bentley on the repositioning.
"We saw a void in the market for highly visible, street-front retail and a gap that would appeal to several national retailers and fast-casual restaurants. Because of the new opportunity presented, the redevelopment is already 65 percent leased before construction begins," said Sheets in prepared remarks.

Google is Rebranding Adwords, DoubleClick and AdEx | Technology Wrap
After almost two decades of huge success, the search giant Google is going to rename its most important advertisement products Google AdWords and Google Double Click next month on 24th July 2018. These major products are getting new names in an effort to help advertisers choose suitable product easily and make most of it. Google is also about to bring few new solutions to further make the advertising platform more easy and user friendly.
Starting July 24th 2018, there will be three primary brands:
- Google AdWords to be renamed as Google Ads
- DoubleClick and Google Analytics 360 to be clubbed together and named as Google Marketing Platform
- DoubleClick for Publisher and DoubleClick Ad Exchange are integrated into a new platform called Google Ad Manager
In an interview with Search Engine Land this Tuesday, Google's head of ads and commerce, Sridhar Ramaswamy, said:
"With Google Ads as opposed to Google AdWords, it is moving the imperceptible default opinion that you get as an advertiser when you hear 'Google AdWords' … you think, 'Oh, Words. Search.' It's basically a slight cognitive dissonance to all the other great things that we are doing in terms of both the format and surfaces these ads can show. And so, Google Ads, in our opinion, is a much more straightforward representation of what Google advertising can provide. It's that simplicity and alignment of the core message from the first instant you hear the name, which is the goal."
Wrap Up!
Technology is the name of change and updates, especially when it comes to IT giants like Google we should always expect positive surprises like this one. There is no iota of doubt that this is going to be huge in terms of brand position for Google as it has millions of advertisers throughout the globe who start and finished their days with Google only.
