[ARTICLE] FoxGLove Standalone Google Apps Portal
by SLeepdepD on Nov.24, 2008, under Technology
From Lifehacker.com:
Crafty Firefox user Alex customized his own Firefox Portable installation to tightly integrate with Google Apps. He calls his creation "FoxGLove," and uses it as his own Google-powered productivity portal instead of Microsoft Outlook. Along with his pick of add-ons that enhance and integrate Google Apps in Firefox, Alex tricked out this portable Firefox version with a Chrome-like theme, custom homepages (that auto-load in tabs), web site favicons, and even slapped the FoxGLove name and icon onto the whole shebang. Best part? You can download and try it out right now without disturbing your current Firefox setup.
I just download FoxGLove and I'm in love! This is awesome and something I completely should have thought of and put together myself.
The only change I've made is to have the default Home Pages (yes, Home Pages: I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know one could specify a pipe-delimited list of websites to load when Firefox opens) to include my blog, Facebook, and a couple other social sites I want to make sure I keep an eye on.

Dear All,
It is almost time for my next quarterly Town Hall Meeting. It will be on Saturday, October 6th, from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at Flanner and Buchanan Community Center located 2950 N. High School Road. Since the Council is in budget season and will be voting on the 2019 budget the middle of October, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to have as our guest speaker the City Controller, Fady Qaddoura. I know that most of you do not have the chance to attend the Committee Meetings or Council Meetings, so this brings a lot of information to a location in our district. This allows you to learn more about where your tax money goes and what tax money the City actually receives.
This will be Controller Qaddoura's second year as guest speaker for a Town Hall Meeting for us. He really enjoyed last year and is looking forward to presenting next year's budget and answering your questions. I have heard only positive remarks from those of you who were in attendance last year as well. This should be a very informative Town Hall Meeting.
Please feel free to forward this information on to others in our District who may not be receiving this information or who may not get a card delivered to their home. Currently about 5,000 cards have been distributed throughout the district – however there are a lot of neighborhoods still to do. If you would like to help me in passing out cards for your neighborhood (or another neighborhood), please let me know. I would welcome the help and it is great exercise!
Hope to see many of you on October 6th! Should be a very interesting meeting.
Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
Did you ever wonder where our tax dollars for the City Budget come from? How are these dollars divided up between departments? What is the annual process that the City goes through? Find out the answers to these questions and more at:

The two lowest scoring teams in the NHL went and combined for 7 goals on Saturday night in a 4-3 Sabres win. Don't look now but the Sabres are quickly approaching the .500 mark after one of the worst starts in NHL history this season. They won't be making the playoffs this season, and probably won't next season, but I think in three years we should start to take them seriously again. It wasn't all that long ago that Buffalo was one of the better teams in the eastern conference, with expectations that they would go deep in the playoffs. Those days are long gone, and it is all about focusing on the future in Buffalo. It was an entertaining game I suppose, we can give it that, but it certainly didn't feel good to have a loss in a game that made no sense to be so high scoring. I need to turn it up like we were not that long ago and get some extra Christmas cash which is fast approaching. A pretty small card for us to handicap, but let's hopefully turn it into big profits.
Tonight we'll take a look at the Devils and Islanders, in a game featuring two teams that aren't geographically all that far from one another. On the ice, though, these are teams trending in opposite directions. The Isles continue to impress, as they head into this matchup with a record of 20-10-0-0, in the opposite side we have a Devils team that is looking to rebound from the Martin Brodeur era after the team enjoyed considerably good success with him around. The Islanders will look to play spoiler this season, as I don't think too many people are giving them a shot at doing damage later in the year. I don't see them tailing off in the regular season, but I believe inexperience will get to them in the playoffs. That is a ways away, and I just want to make some money tonight, so lets get at it.
New Jersey Devils @ New York Islanders
Steven Stamkos this, Sidney Crosby that. And then there is John Tavares thinking what about me? Okay, Tavares isn't on their level, but there are some nights where he makes it look like he is there. He is definitely one of the best players the NHL has to offer on offense, and he has propelled the Islanders to relevance. The franchise had big hopes for Tavares when they drafted him in 2009, and they're finally seeing their patience pay off this season. They have a ways to go before they are competing for a Cup, but this is a good young talented team. They were scoring goals earlier in the year at a rapid rate. Now things have stabilized and they are a much more rounded team. They were scoring, but they were getting lit up on defense as well. Once last in the league, the Isles brought their goals against down to 2.90. It is quite the transition for a team that was getting lit up light like a Christmas tree on defense. The Islanders have been particularly good at home this season, posting a record of 11-3, 9-1 in their last ten.
Losers of 8 out of their last 10 games, the Devils are in free fall mode. In their last three games they've allowed a combined 11 goals. And this is a team that isn't scoring many goals, 2.29 per game, so it is a recipe for disaster. In their past 10 games they've only eclipsed the three goal mark twice. They've also lost three straight against the Islanders. You may play the ML if you want if you feel more comfortable, but I am going to get a little greedy and try and catch the Islanders at +156 to win by more than a goal tonight at home.
Pick – ISLANDERS -1.5 (+156) @ 5dimes.eu (Best Odds)

It's their fault and they're not afraid to admit it. The powers that be in Atlantic City, New Jersey know they have depended on casino gambling for too long. It was easy money.
Through the 1970's and 80's, as casino after casino rose along the Jersey Shore, the roads appeared to be paved with gold. Unfortunately it could only last so long.
The realization that you could not depend on gambling alone as a way to attract tourists, the key component to the local economy, was a harsh one. As more and more destinations around the country dipped their foot into the gaming pool, Atlantic City, a city that once stood out as among one of very few where you could drop a nickel into a slot machine, was all of sudden facing daunting competition.
Now Atlantic City has more hope as they alter their path slightly to diversify and look beyond gaming as a way to attract tourists and money into their economy. While casinos are still the primary source of revenue, emphasis is now being put on other attractions, including the beach, the return of the Miss America pageant, new stores and restaurants, and of interest to many, golf.
A Rich Past
This may make it sound as if golf is a recent pursuit in South Jersey but is far from the case. This is fertile land for the playing of the game, with the sandy soil so reminiscent of the Scottish links land, able to easily foster the development of playing grounds.
The local inventory includes some nineteen member courses of the Greater Atlantic City Golf Association and it's a stunning selection.
"Atlantic City is little known for golf and it shouldn't be that way," says Tom Sullivan, General Manager of the McCullough's Emerald Links Golf Course and the current President of the GACGA. "We have a wide array of value and there is no other place like Atlantic City when it comes to golf and entertainment."
After a recent visit there, I'd have a hard time disagreeing. While the volume of courses might not be overwhelming they are equal in quality to any region with at least five of them being among the best that the entire State of New Jersey has to offer for public play. And away from the course? Believe me, you'll have no problem filling every twenty-four hours.
Backing Sullivan's assertions about golf in Atlantic City is Stephen Kay, the noted architect has crafted two courses in the region (Blue Heron Pines and McCullough's Emerald Golf Links) and has called the area home for more than a decade. "We certainly can't compare the golf here to Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head when it comes to the number of courses but I'll say we have the best mix of architectural styles you can find anywhere."
That is high praise from a man who has worked on some 300 courses in his lengthy career and after witnessing a sampling of it for myself, I too can verify his claims.
In a tasting of just six courses I experienced everything from a layout that pays tribute to the best courses of the British Isles, to a classic Donald Ross masterpiece, to a parkland/sand barrens style course with some of the best greens I have ever rolled a ball on.
The Checklist
I started my brief survey of the Atlantic City golf scene at McCullough's Emerald Golf Links. Named for the mayor who fought for years to have a former landfill turned into a facility much more useful to the local constituents, Emerald Golf Links can be found on a six-mile stretch of Ocean Heights Avenue that is home to a half a dozen courses, five of them publicly accessible.
Open for just over two decades, this course gives a nod to the great links courses of the British Isles with holes modeled after some of the greats. Never had a chance to play the King's Course at Gleneagles or Royal Dornoch? This place can give you a feel of that, especially when the wind is blowing across its wind-swept property.
An extra special touch at McCullough's is the 7th hole, which is based on a design from a magazine contest submission by Dr. Alister MacKenzie (famed co-designer of Augusta National). Brought to life by designer Stephen Kay at the suggestion of golf writer Brad Klein, it's a hole that will leave an impression.
Tucked away in 245 acres in the Ocean View area south of Atlantic City is the ShoreGate Golf Club. Carved from forest and a rich, sandy base, the presence of endless bunkering gives this course its definition. A stern test from the full length, it's easy to see why it has garnered many awards and much recognition.
One of the greatest pleasures of Atlantic City Golf is exploring its roots at the Atlantic City Country Club and the Stockton Seaview Resort. Playing them both in a single day, as our group did, is a golf history lesson to be savoured.
Exploring the Atlantic City Country Club clubhouse is a walk through history, with walls adorned with photos and newspaper clippings honouring the events held on its grounds since its founding in 1897. On the course you'll find the best layout in the area with a design touched up by Tom Doak just over a decade ago. Stunning views of the casino-heavy skyline provide the backdrop to eighteen succulent holes, many playing along the shore of Lakes Bay.
That is the same theme at the Stockton Seaview Resort which currently hosts a LPGA Tour event and was the site of the 1942 PGA Championship over their Pine and Bay courses. We tipped it up at the Bay and between the long grasses and classic crowned Donald Ross greens, found more than enough to challenge our skills.
The stop in Atlantic City wrapped up with two very contrary looks at golf, the dramatic Twisted Dune and Blue Heron Pines.
The claim is that Twisted Dune is like no other golf course in New Jersey. Designer Archie Struthers pushed around 2 million cubic yards of earth to create the moonscape of sand that it winds through. Wide fairways temper the disasters that lurk off the defined line of play and more than a hundred greedy bunkers will get your attention. At 7,200 yards making the right tee choice is a must. Struthers work isolated each of the holes on the property, keeping you focused on the test ahead and helping to give each memorable character.
Liz Jaworski was beaming with pride as she engaged our group upon completion of Blue Heron Pines Golf Club. She and husband Ron Jaworski (yes, the former NFL Quarterback and current TV analyst) acquired the course last June, making it the 5th they operate under Ron Jaworski Golf, and she has every right to be delighted. Exemplary turf conditions (the exquisite greens mentioned earlier) and a varied design that all golfers will find interesting and playable make it a welcome addition to any Jersey Shore golf stay.
That's Entertainment
To take care of your accommodation and entertainment needs in Atlantic City, the obvious choice is a casino stay. There are a dozen main casinos, many located along the famous Boardwalk that parallels the stunning oceanfront.
Each of the "big boys" is a city of its own with seemingly endless dining, nightlife, and shopping option – not to mention the gaming opportunities.
For those looking for a modern feel The Borgata delivers with a bay-side location, sophisticated appeal and non-stop action as one of the most popular casinos in the region.
Those looking for an option right on the Boardwalk, the Tropicana sports more than 2000 rooms, a massive gaming floor and The Quarter, an entertainment section packed with clubs, restaurants and shops. It's a massive complex, much like what you can find at all the Atlantic City casinos, and finding some form of entertainment, even in the wee hours of the morning, is always possible.
Growing In Stature
With greater emphasis on golf as an attraction in Atlantic City expect to hear a lot more about it in the future. All the elements are there for success with great golf courses as the core. A concerted effort to bring attention to their many great properties, blended with the already significant attractions of the casinos and boardwalk area, should build this part of the Jersey Shore into something very enticing for more than those coming here for the traditional reasons.
It's no gamble to take a trip to Atlantic City for golf; even if you lose in the casinos you're guaranteed to hit the jackpot on the courses.

At Geneia, we have one purpose - to transform healthcare for the better. As a team who has spent our careers working in healthcare, we know intimately:
- The shepherds of this transformation are the people on the frontlines of healthcare: physicians, nurses, physician practice managers, health system administrators, health plan medical staff, and human resources leaders; and
- Technology needs to simplify the work of these transformers and empower them to lower the cost and improve the health of the populations they serve.
That's why our staff of physicians, nurses, technologists, analytics experts and business professionals have created a suite of solutions to help real people navigating the challenging demands of healthcare – people like Dr. Jody Allen, who regains 90 minutes each and every day; Val, who trimmed claims costs by 2 percent; Jody, who reduced out-of-network referrals by 5 percent while improving care coordination; and Curt*, who used our analytics and insights platform to find $500,000 in savings on employee medical costs.
When we're creating our products, we start by articulating the most pressing issues of transformers like Dr. Allen and Curt, and trying to remedy their challenges by asking ourselves two important questions:
- What if technology had a heart?
- What if technology could …
Then our team of healthcare veterans combines this deep knowledge of customer needs with the most advanced technology and analytics to imagine what's possible and bring it to fruition.
Take the issue of physician burnout, for example.
Numerous studies including a Geneia survey have shown escalating physician burnout. Our survey found alarming levels of physician dissatisfaction, including:
- 78 percent of physicians said they frequently feel rushed when seeing patients,
- 84 percent said they feel like quality patient time may be a thing of the past, and
- An overwhelming majority – 87 percent - said that the "business and regulation of healthcare" has changed the practice of medicine for the worse.
Even more illuminating, we asked physicians to describe in their own words the obstacles that detract from their "joy" in practicing medicine. Nearly 97 percent said they are no longer experiencing joy in medicine, and offered comments such as:
"The joy is interaction with people. The greatest detractor from this is the record keeping and quality data inputs that have mushroomed with EHR."
"I always feel behind, stressed and overworked."
"I feel like I work on an assembly line."
So we asked, "What if technology had a heart and could restore the Joy of Medicine to frustrated and burned out physicians?" and answered, "At Geneia, it does."
Knowing the opportunity to create meaningful patient relationships is the reason many chose the practice of medicine, we embarked on a journey to create a solution that allows physicians to have at their fingertips a true 360-degree view of each patient – one that incorporates interactions with all providers, even out-of-network ones, all medications, even those that were not filled or refilled, all labs and diagnostic tests, regardless of who ordered them, analytically-driven insights around disease prevalence, and even the patient's financial reality in terms of health insurance, co-pays and deductibles. Just as importantly, our solution also helps physicians regain time in their day, which they can use however they choose – whether it's spending more time with higher-need patients or with their families.
I encourage you to read Dr. Allen's story. Like the clinicians at Commonwealth Physicians, he uses our Theon® analytics platform to regain 90 minutes a day and rediscover the Joy of Medicine.
Another example is our work to help chronically-ill patients and their treating providers. The question we asked was, "What if technology had a heart and could keep the chronically-ill in their homes and out of hospitals?" At Geneia, it does.
Our answer: @HomeSM remote patient monitoring.
Geneia's @HomeSM remote patient monitoring combines predictive analytics, state-of-the-art technology, and in-home clinical support and enables treating providers, and in some cases the patients themselves, to detect clinical deterioration earlier and act before an emergency department visit or hospitalization is required.
The results:
- Slowed disease progression,
- A 45 percent reduction in acute hospital admissions, and
- A 37 percent increase in medication adherence.
Equally important to those of us at Geneia is overall patient satisfaction rate of 96 percent and the stories of people like 97-year-old Emma Smith, who has been able to avoid the hospital for nearly a year and continues to live at home, and 75-year-old Jack Jones**, who has gone 18 months and counting without a hospitalization for heart failure.
I hope you'll tune in for future posts. I'll be sharing our answer to questions like:
What if technology had a heart and could help physicians, health plans and employers …
- Identify and improve the health of those on the brink of illness?
- Direct care management resources to those most likely to benefit?
- Predict the best way to effectively engage at-risk patients in their health?

Sonya Daniels, Manager at CBIZ MHM Memphis, was
featured in a recent article published by AccountingToday about
the discussion of sales tax holidays.
When Massachusetts
decided to cancel its sales tax holiday this year, many began to believe this
will become a trend in the upcoming years.
Daniels explains that a state
depends heavily on sales taxes for revenue, and canceling the sales tax holiday
is a way to counter budget deficits.
For 2016, 17
states are offering sales tax holidays, including Tennessee. "From the end of
July through early September, what they're running basically is
back-to-school," said Daniels.
Many, like
Daniels, wonder how many states will continue with the tax free holidays. "A
lot of states are talking about the loss of revenues during that time," she
said. With the ability for consumers to also get the tax exemption online,
there's an even greater loss for the states.
But there is
a helpful hint for those trying to navigate the waters. There are often good
sales leading up to the tax holidays, and Daniels urges you to keep your eye in
the paper during that time.

Repairs and visits...
So, I unscrewed the old seat, washed it thoroughly, and at that point, Jean arrived and said - let's go to Tesco!!! So I, of course, said yes! Let's go! I can push the trolley! And oh, can we go to the DIY store too please?
Anyway, I had a lovely time, pushing the trolley. And collecting the new seat. As I said - I have been cooped up here too long. Never mind that I had, by then, walked the equivalent of a million miles in comparison to normal days, and the leg was letting me know. Very clearly.
The loo seat took on added importance, you see, because today, I had a visit from the school powers-that-be, and human resources people, to assess my state of health/when I go back to work/what is happening etc etc etc. I did not think that sliding off the loo would make a wonderfully good impression.
They came, and it went well, I think, after I showed them the knee in all its glory as they sat down on the couch. It may well have put them off their coffee, which Jean sorted. She was here as my friend, and just happens to be a teacher and an ex-head teacher. So that was good. But that is one hurdle over with at least.
And the loo seat behaved.
But now I am a wreck - totally wiped out. I am spending the weekend with my son and his wife - my friend happens to be going down that way for the weekend, so will drop me there on her way and collect me on her way back, and I will get to see David too. So I can take him all the stuff he left behind. It all works out perfectly.
Maybe I had better go and hunt for the things he wants....

It sounds like it went well with the school authorities - I'm sure one look at your knee told them all they needed to know.
I think I'm only now figuring out that your health care system there is nationalized. Right? I believe I heard something like that when I watched our presidential debate last night.
Boy, that explains a lot. And your awful experience make me hope it never happens in America.

The visual of sliding on the old seat was hilarious. They just don't make things the way they used to. My sister had a wooden seat that cracked and if you sat on it just right it would pinch. Ouch!
I just love reading and figuring out the words that are different than those we use in USA. I'm assuming your trolley is our shopping cart right?
Hope the muscles of your knee get stronger from your busy day.

Glad you're getting out more, and a new toilet seat is a really good reason to get out of the house. I can just see you going back to your GP with a new injury because you slipped off the loo, LOL!
I really enjoyed our chat yesterday, Linds. Hope we can do it again sometime soon.
Have a great time with your family!

I couldn't help noticing that your in - need -of repair items are changing direction a little. I do believe this is the first repair that did not involve electricity or gas Is this significant in any way?).
Pleased to hear that the school nosy parkers (I mean checkeruparers) were satisfied that you actually had a knee injury.
Enjoy your family visit.

You are going to have such a wonderful weekend and I am so happy for you. You really deserve it.
I am glad that the school meeting went well. I am also happy that Jean was there to support you during the whole ordeal.
A tippy loo seat???? Interesting! Do I hear a good book title?
- 3:12 pm
- zztop357 said...
I can just see someone in a hurry to do their business, sliding off the loo. I bet they would get stuck between the loo and the tub!!!! LOL
Sorry, I can just picture it. I hope you have fun this weekend.Nothing better than a visit away from home to bring up your spirits.
God bless, Donna
- 9:56 pm
- Crystal said...
Off to visit the kids - it doesn't get any better!! Have fun - be safe - enjoy!!!!!
And what did the school people say? Do you need to fill out more forms to justify your leave? Good luck!!
- 10:10 pm
- Dawn said...
I am glad to be back here in touch - and so glad to hear that you've been out and about a bit - and got a new loo seat! And that you get to go see your kids - just lovely.
Have a great week-end!

There is something about weddings that bring out the best in all of us. I love how I can just get lost in a cloud of whimsical wonderment whenever I chance upon a beautiful wedding such as this. Jairus and Mae's San Francisco wedding, although miles away from their homeland, has a Philippine wedding stamp all over it. The fun and festive affair was a mix of modern and traditional elements, all glamorous and romantic. So yes, for today, I'll let the wonderful photos from Pat Dy and video from Mayad speak more about the gorgeousness of this celebration. Enjoy!
I was so touched by Mae's letter that I just had to repost it here:
Dear Janna,
God has been faithful to us and the wedding has been wonderful–thanks to your blog which has been a dose of daily inspiration to me everyday. You have no idea how much of your stuff is on my iPad and Evernote right now. I have used so many ideas from your blog, you'll probably see your digital fingerprint on our event design–from our ceremony colors, to my bridesmaid and flower girl dresses, to even having a dessert table.
I'm based in California, but I was raised in the Philippines. The moment I started planning for our wedding, I knew I had to have a part of the Philippines with me–I wanted vendors from the Philippines. My friends told me I was crazy for doing this, but with God's help and my husband's (fiancé then) full trust, we started booking local vendors–Pat Dy, Mayad, Veluz… the list went on–the favors, the invitations, calligraphy, all the dresses–even our cake designers were based in Laoag and had to make our cake from scratch in my mom's kitchen! So yes, I could say that planning the wedding for vendors to go overseas was crazy! And this was where your blog came into the picture. It really has been an awesome guide of vendors I could trust and would have impeccable taste. A lot of people were skeptical about our decisions, but all the local vendors pulled through as your blog pointed me to the right direction. As crazy and challenging wedding planning was, your blog just made me smile amidst all the chaos. It has been my constant source of replenished energy whenever I would give up on our wedding design vision and just have an intimate ceremony with my husband instead. It has constantly put me in a happy zone.
So yes, in a lot of ways, I have your blog to be thankful for–for building up our trust and confidence in our local vendors and for making the wedding planning experience fulfilling for me. I could not imagine planning the wedding without your blog. I praise God for sending me little doses of strength as we planned for our wedding–and yes, you are one of them. More power to you and your blog and I pray that you would continue to inspire and empower all the brides out there who deserve to have a fun experience as they plan to have their own happily-ever-afters.
Sincerely yours,
Mae Peralta-Samoy

First peal on the restored and augmented bells.
Rung to the memory of Samuel Scattergood, rector at Blockley from 1681 to 1696. He was one of the leading lights of 17th century ringing and contributed several new methods to the first known book on ringing, Fabian Stedman's Campanalogia, published in 1677. The 5th of the present ring was cast during his incumbency. Samuel joined the College Youths in 1672 and was master in 1685. He died in 1696 and was buried on 10th December under the chancel in this church. The band consists of 5 ringers who helped with the restoration and augmentation project plus five past and present master of the Society.

Welcome to the Ascent Technology 2016 Year End Newsletter, a year which has certainly witnessed its fair share of interesting developments, globally and locally. Aside from the surprises delivered by the UK's Brexit referendum and the US election result, we have seen many changes to our own status quo, following the local government elections in August.
Irrespective of these surprises, this year has been very similar in other respects to 2015, with the global and local economy continuing to struggle and cost cutting measures and consolidation procedures seemingly becoming a way of life.
This, naturally, has led to an increasing number of clients recognising the value proposition offered by Ascent Technology, with regard to its Co/Outsourcing model and the cost effective, economies of scale resourcing and skills, benefits this model delivers.
While there is little doubt that the past year has had its share of challenges, there have also been some memorable moments, trends and milestones, of which we would like to share a few with you.
Expanding Internationally
As already noted, there are a number of challenges that are currently impacting on our and other industries, creating what amounts to a tough operating environment. Ascent has chosen to overcome these difficulties through a continual focus on its critical areas of strength and growth.
In this respect, we have spent the past two years developing our national footprint by leveraging off our relationship with the First Technology Group, which has enabled us to compete on a larger scale than ever before. We now have a presence in key regions across South Africa and have thus turned our attention to the next area of growth, by focusing our latest expansion plans on the international arena.
As a first step into the global market, Ascent is expanding into the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. To this end, we are in the final stages of opening up a regional office in Dubai that will deliver the same levels of end-to-end cost effective, Managed Database Consulting and Support Services that our local clients have become accustomed to.
Not only will these new offices give us access to a larger international market, but they will also be ideally positioned to enable us to service local clients that are themselves expanding into other areas of the continent. In this way, we are able to broaden our own scope while also delivering additional value to a number of our existing clients.
Ascent will officially announce the date of the new Dubai office's opening early in the New Year, so keep your ears open for this news.
The hype is over
When it comes to cloud computing, there can be little doubt that the initial hype cycle around this technology and business model is well and truly over.
Today, cloud computing can be described as being part of 'business as usual'. It is, after all, integrated into much of what we do and is now a mature technology and business model. Cloud computing is certainly part and parcel of what Ascent does and is now an integral part of our operations and services.
Despite this, we are aware that different clients remain at different stages in their own cloud computing adoption journeys.
As such, Ascent is well positioned and committed to assisting these clients in whatever manner they choose to walk this journey – be this private cloud, public cloud or a hybrid of the two – and to helping these clients to unlock the additional value this journey will bring to their organisations.
Skills building
Ascent remains committed to building skills in the industry and to developing youthful talent, as evidenced by the fact that we have just completed our 10th Microsoft Internship Programme.
This means that we have been involved in skills building for a full decade now, and through this programme have managed to deliver continuity in skills and expertise, something that remains vital to Ascent and its clients.
In tough times like these, it becomes more crucial than ever for organisations to come together to help boost job creation and afford the youth of today an opportunity to enter the ICT space. By continually developing a new generation of highly skilled individuals we create new opportunities for youngsters to enter the marketplace.
Ascent is proud to have been able to play its role in kick starting the careers of graduates and offering genuine value add to our clients in this manner over the past ten years, and we look forward to a new decade of skills building, beginning in 2017.
To this end, we have already started the on-boarding process for our 2017 Internship Program, we welcome our four new learners and wish them the greatest success in their new careers.
A word of thanks
Over the past year, we again have focused stringently on building on our successes, in order to continue providing our clients, with the service and value they have become accustomed to over the years, this while managing to steadily grow as a business.
However, we are well aware that our continued success in this is only due to the strength of the partnerships we have with our clients and our principles whom, along with our people, are the most valuable aspects of our business.
And thus, I once again would like to extend my most heartfelt thanks and gratitude to every one of Ascent's clients, principals and people, both old and new, for your continued support. We value and appreciate the role each of you play in this journey we are on, and we look forward to continue building on these relationships in 2017.
The Last Word
In closing, we would like to wish you everything of the best for the Festive Season and we trust that whatever you are doing over the December period, it will afford you the chance to rest and relax.
We look forward to welcoming you back safe and sound in 2017, so that we can kick off a new and fruitful business year together.

Owing to the fact that they are relatively easy to make, kastengel becomes a favorite for first-time bakers. For those uninitiated, kastengel is the name of rectangular cheeses cookie with sprinkles of grated cheddar on top of them, a tad smaller than an adult's fingers. Their flavor leans toward savory more than sweet thanks to the inclusion of Edam or parmesan cheese in the dough and a minimum use of sugar. The top surface is covered by a crust from egg wash. Their textures are somewhat crumblier than average cookies and their appearance ranges from bright to dark yellow, depending on their doneness. It is a popular snack to serve the guests with in national religious holidays such as Christmas Day or Moslems' Idul Fitri. There are no cookie fillings or too much wet ingredients included in a kastengel cake recipe, which is why the cookies are great for a beginner. However, you could be experiencing some technical difficulties when you try to make some—especially if this is the very first time you try to bake some cookies. Patience and willingness to fail are indeed important but there is nothing wrong in knowing more about some tips and tricks to make things much easier to go through.
You need to keep in mind that with these cookies, cheese is of great importance. The cookies' aroma relies so much on this main ingredient. Choose quality cheese; you can choose either parmesan or Edam cheese for the recipe, but keep in mind that the two cheeses have different smell that may lend the final product different aromas as well. Also, with kastengel, the crunchier it is, the better it would be. Grate the cheese and leave it to dry in the air. However, as much as cheese is the main staple in making kastengel, make sure that everything is according to the recipe so you can avoid overdoing it. Ideal kastengel cookies are those that are rectangular in shape and small in dimension. If your cookies tend to go flat with a wide surface, it might be because you mix the dough for far too long. To avoid over-mixing, make sure that the dry ingredients you use are indeed dry. Sift all dry ingredients well first so you can forgo having to leave the dough in the mixer for too long.
The last thing you need to keep in mind is the egg wash. Egg wash used for kastengel is of yolk. This could be the easiest part of them all. After all, you would only need to separate a yolk from the white, right? Beat the yolk a bit and brush it on each one of the cookies. But if you brush them just once, the color of the egg wash might not be evenly spread. Therefore, try to apply the egg wash two or three times in an interval of 5 or 10 minutes between each brushing. This way, the egg wash could have enough time to seep into the cookies evenly, giving you bright and glistening appearance when they are done baking.

UoM administered thesis: Phd
The polymeric mucins, MUC5B and MUC5AC provide the structural and functional backbone of the respiratory mucus barrier, conferring both viscoelastic and antimicrobial properties onto these complex secretions. Within the mucus barrier, polymeric mucins are believed to be highly organised, arranged in a network-like formation. Structural details regarding how mucins are packaged, secreted and expand to form a functional barrier remain elusive. In addition, despite recent investigations into mucin secondary structure, it is unclear as to how the heavy glycosylation found within mucin domains can influence polymer conformation. Through the use of electron microscopy techniques in combination with biophysical analyses we performed an in depth structural analysis on purified MUC5B and MUC5AC, we then utilised these same techniques to investigate mucin packaging and expansion in response to changes in calcium concentration and pH levels. Finally through structural investigations into the native organisation of the salivary mucus barrier we aimed to investigate the hierarchical mucin topology present within mucosal systems, thus enabling us to draw conclusions about how this organisation may be compromised in disease states such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with single particle analysis, we provide evidence to suggest that MUC5B contains bead-like structures, which repeat along the polymer axis and suggest that MUC5B may consist of repeating motifs derived from distinct glycosylation patterns, rather than the disorganised random coil conformation previously assumed. Moreover, through TEM and rate zonal centrifugation, we demonstrate that respiratory mucins form highly entangled linear polymers, the structures of which are sensitive to calcium concentration and fluctuations in pH. In the presence of Ca2+ at pH 5.0, MUC5B adopted a compact conformation which was lost upon removal of calcium, via EGTA, and through increasing the pH to 7.4. We further suggest that the expansion of mucins following secretion occurs via two-step process, with an initial rapid expansion followed by a slower protease-independent maturation process, which is driven by distinct changes to the mucin interactome. Through isolation of mucins derived from CF sputum we have assessed the structural and biophysical changes that occur to the mucin network during CF progression, we suggest that the CF mucin network is severely degraded, with mucin glycopeptides predominating. Furthermore, we suggest that poly (acetyl, arginyl) glucosamine (PAAG) may represent an attractive treatment for CF lung disease, here we highlight its ability to directly bind MUC5B and induce its linearisation, resulting in a less viscous mucin network. Here we provide novel insights into the structural organisation of MUC5B and MUC5AC on both intra- and intermolecular levels, and shed light onto the processes required for mucin packaging and expansion, which have allowed us to understand the mechanisms behind aberrant mucus transport in CF.

From ensuring that you live longer to the ability to carry the groceries home from the store, there are many reasons to build stronger muscles.
Pumping iron and spending time at the gym is essential if you want to gain muscle. But, you shouldn't neglect to think about the importance of your diet.
You cannot simply keep eating your salty snacks and sugary treats if you want to get stronger. You may already know the foods you should be avoiding.
But, what about the greatest foods for building muscle mass? Check out our blog post below to learn what you need to eat to build your muscles.
1. Eggs
Americans are eating more eggs than ever before. That's amazing news if you're planning on gaining muscle strength.
Whether you're eating scrambled eggs for breakfast or snacking on hard-boiled eggs at the gym, eggs are an important source of protein.
When you're trying to gain muscles, you need to be eating a large quantity of protein. But, eggs are also packed with healthy fat and nutrients.
This also includes B vitamins, which are essential for your body to produce energy. You won't last long in the gym without these essential nutrients.
2. Chicken Breast
Weight lifters and bodybuilders always consume a high quantity of chicken. When you eat a 3-ounce cut of chicken breast, you get over 26 grams of protein.
If you're regularly physically active lifting weights and working out, the B vitamins and other nutrients found in the chicken are crucial to staying healthy.
Do you hope to shed fat at the same time as building muscle? There is evidence that eating chicken breast can help you do this too.
3. Greek Yogurt
A bowl of yogurt with fruit is really healthy to have with your breakfast in the mornings. Even Ghengis Kahn himself ensured that his warriors ate yogurt daily to make sure they stayed strong and healthy.
While dairy products generally contain high protein, which is great for building your muscle mass. Greek yogurt has almost double the protein as other yogurts.
Whether you eat greek yogurt as a mid-morning snack or as a dessert in the evenings, it's a great way to build your muscles.
4. Beans
Who said that you could gain muscle mass as a vegan?
There are so many different varieties of beans that are great for building your muscles. Some of the most popular include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
You'll also find that beans are a great way to get more nutrients and fiber. Beans keep your body strong and healthy so you can work out for longer.
5. Salmon
If you want a tasty fish for your lunch, look no further than eating salmon. You can get around 17 grams of protein from a 3-ounce portion of salmon.
There are also a bunch of other healthy nutrients, such as Omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins to help you stay physically active.
6. Soya Beans
Soya beans are really useful to add to almost anything. You can also drink plant-based soya milk or have it on your cereals.
Soya is a healthy unsaturated fat, which means that it won't undermine your muscle mass growth.
You'll also consume plenty of other vitamins when you eat soya beans, including iron, vitamin K and phosphorus.
Iron is especially important when you're working out a lot. It helps your body store oxygen which ensures that your blood and heart run smoothly.
7. Cottage Cheese
If you love cheese, but you're concerned about the fat, cottage cheese is a great alternative to a chunk of standard cheese.
You can make cottage cheese even lower calorie if you're concerned about weight gain. Low-fat cottage cheese is almost one-tenth protein!
Just spread a spoonful of cottage cheese on a piece of bread for a healthy and delicious snack in the middle of your workout routine.
8. Tuna
Another delicious dish that's great for building your muscles is tuna. Not only does Tuna contain plenty of protein for muscle growth, but it's also packed a bunch of vitamins.
If you want to perform at your best in the gym, eating tuna for vitamins A and B is strongly recommended. When you're measuring muscle mass, you'll notice the difference if you keep munching on tuna.
Tuna is especially helpful if you're an older adult. Getting lots of Omega-3 fatty acids in your body during older age can stop your building from losing muscle strength.
9. Brown Rice
Even though carbohydrates don't directly help you to build your muscle mass, they can ensure that you can keep going in the gym for longer.
You also need to combine your protein foods with a healthy carb. But, don't opt for plain pasta or white rice.
You need to eat brown rice, quinoa or couscous to enjoy the benefits of the healthy nutrients contained in them.
10. Turkey
Turkey isn't just for Thanks Giving. You can also eat turkey all year round for greater muscle growth.
If you get tired of eating chicken, you can switch it on your plate for a turkey breast.
When you eat turkey, you also getting B vitamins which help you process fatty foods better. This allows your muscles to grow even more.
How to Grow Your Muscle Mass?
Growing your muscles isn't only about working out in the gym all day. You also need to think carefully about what you're putting into your body.
Making sure you're eating plenty of the above foods and avoid fatty foods can ensure that you continue to get stronger and bigger.
Do you want to know more about how to grow your muscle mass? Check out our blog for much more information and advice.

Business community and industrialists of Southern Punjab on Sunday hailed the announcement of Petroleum Advisor Dr Asim Hussain regarding the provision of gas supply to the industries in Punjab from February 1, 2013 describing it a good decision.
President of Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) Muhammad Khan Saddozai has said that industry particularly textile mills were badly hit due to suspension of gas supply and long duration of power loadshedding in Punjab. Government had made commitment for uninterrupted supply of gas and electricity to industry many time but never fulfilled it's commitment. Saddozai said that government should expedite the pace of work on Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project without accepting any foreign pressure and LNG be imported on top priority basis.
He further said that the problems of domestic consumers must be resolve at the end of winter season. He hailed the decision of All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) to postpone their protests as the government assured provision of gas supply to the industries in Punjab from February 1. The gas supply to industries in Punjab remained suspended from December last year, he said. Procedures regarding gas supply to the industries and its monitoring should soon be finalised, he added.

MEI Online: Plant Operation News: North America: January 24th 2003
:: World's Largest ACACIA Reactor Commissioned at Porcupine Joint Venture
The largest ConSep ACACIA Reactor built to date, a Model CS6000, was successfully commissioned at the Porcupine JV near Timmins, Ontario in mid December, 2002.
The Porcupine JV is a joint venture between Placer Dome Canada and Kinross Gold Corporation. Placer Dome owns a 51% interest, while Kinross has a 49% interest in the joint venture, which now incorporates the Dome mine and mill, the Hoyle Pond, Pamour and Nighthawk Lake mines, and the Bell Creek mill.
Ore from both the Dome and Hoyle Pond Mines are now treated at the Dome mill, which has a gravity circuit consisting of five (5) KC-CD30 concentrators operating in parallel grinding circuits. The ACACIA Reactor was put online on December 17th, 2002, just two weeks after arriving on site.
"A tremendous amount of credit must be given to the project installation team," commented Knelson's Mike Fullam; Regional Sales Manager for North America. "The unit was fully installed and ready for commissioning when we arrived."
The first batch was processed in the ACACIA Reactor on December 17th and yielded 35.6 kgs. of gold at an overall recovery rate of 99% . "We had a very tight project schedule that didn't leave us any margin for error," stated the Dome's Senior Metallurgist Don Strickland. "Thanks to a great team effort we managed to meet our goal of being fully operational and producing gold by year end."
The ConSep ACACIA Reactor is a patented, high efficiency leaching system, exclusively designed to handle the high- grade concentrates produced by Knelson Concentrators. The system is designed to maximize gold recovery from gravity concentrates and provide numerous process advantages over a conventional gold room.
Knelson manufactures and distributes the ConSep ACACIA Reactor in North America as part of a global marketing alliance with ConSep Pty. of Australia.

"Clean, Drain and Dry" Regimen Bad News for Zebra Mussels
AUSTIN — Nothing ruins a zebra mussel's day more than a boater who Cleans, Drains and Dries his boat to prevent the spread of this small but devastating aquatic invasive species.
With thousands of Texans planning to head to their favorite lakes this Memorial Day weekend, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is urging boaters and anglers to follow the simple Clean, Drain and Dry procedure to keep zebra mussels from further expansion in the state.
"Now that water temperatures are getting warmer, zebra mussels are approaching their peak period of reproduction," explains Brian Van Zee, TPWD Inland Fisheries Regional Director. "The best way to stop zebra mussels is for boaters who operate their vessels on Lakes Texoma, Lewisville or Ray Roberts, to Clean, Drain and Dry their boats before launching into another body of water."
Zebra mussels became established in Lake Texoma in 2009 and last year were found in Lake Ray Roberts and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River above Lake Lewisville. They can expand their range farther by hitching a ride on boats and trailers that have been immersed in waters where they have established populations.
"Unfortunately, zebra mussel larvae, called veligers, are not visible to the naked eye," said Van Zee. "You could be transporting them on your boat and not even know it. This is why it's particularly important to always Clean, Drain, and Dry your boat and gear before heading to another water body."
Native to the former Soviet Union, zebra mussels made their way to the United States via the exchange of ballast water from ocean-going vessels passing through the St. Lawrence Seaway to ports on the Great Lakes. Since then, the rapidly propagating bivalves have been spreading throughout the U.S.
Zebra mussels can survive in many different aquatic habitats, reproduce prolifically, and cannot be controlled by natural predators. Zebra mussels attach to hard surfaces including boats, water-intake pipes, buoys, docks, piers, plants and slow moving animals such as native clams, crayfish, and turtles. Their sharp shells can hinder water recreation and foul shorelines. Zebra mussels can even affect a city's water supply, costing millions of taxpayer dollars to maintain and repair those systems.
(a plastic lawn chair pulled from a lake was covered with mussels)
Of immediate concern, Van Zee said, are North Texas lakes such as Lavon, Ray Hubbard, Grapevine, Eagle Mountain, Joe Pool, Possum Kingdom, Granbury, Richland Chambers, Cedar Creek, Tawakoni, Lake Fork and others. These lakes are on major river systems in North Texas and they are heavily used by recreational boaters.
Once Zebra Mussels become established in a water body it is too late, as there is no known way to get rid of them.
( a crawfish will die as result zebra mussels to its body)
TPWD along with a coalition of partners including the North Texas Municipal Water District, Tarrant Regional Water District, Trinity River Authority, City of Dallas, City of Grapevine, City of Houston, City of Waco, Sabine River Authority, San Jacinto River Authority, Brazos River Authority, Upper Trinity Regional Water District, Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at the University of Texas at Austin, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Geological Survey and the University of Texas at Arlington continue working together to monitor for zebra mussels as well as educate the public about the need to "Clean, Drain and Dry" their boats.
Under the TPWD and Texas Penal Codes, possession or transporting of zebra mussels in Texas is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 for the first offense. Repeat offenses can be elevated to a Class B misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, jail time up to 180 days, or both. If an individual is convicted a third time for this same offense it becomes a Class A misdemeanor which is a fine of up to $4,000, jail time not to exceed one year, or both.

Indemnification for Voluntary Trail Easements
DATE: April 5, 2000
TO: Board of Supervisors
The County has been working to establish a system of non-motorized recreational trails for its citizens. The challenge has been to establish a quality trail system that is balanced with a respect for the rights of private property owners. In order to encourage voluntary participation by property owners, the County should consider providing immunity from legal liability.
This is a request for the Board of Supervisors to adopt an ordinance that would relieve private property owners from legal liability on a public trail easement crossing or adjacent to their land.
Recommendation: Chairwoman Jacob
Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to return to the Board of Supervisors in 30 days with an ordinance that provides the following:
The County of San Diego will indemnify the owner of a parcel of land on which a trail has been voluntarily dedicated for public use as an equestrian, pedestrian, or other type of non-motorized recreational right of way, by final or partial map, or otherwise, and expressly accepted by the County of San Diego on behalf of the public, and the County shall indemnify the owner of any parcel adjacent to said trail, from all claims, demands or liability for injury to person or property that occurs on the trail when used for the aforementioned recreational uses, excluding injury occurring in any of the following circumstances:
1) The owner's willful or malicious failure to guard or warn against a dangerous condition, use, structure or activity;
2) Where permission for recreational use when granted for a consideration other than the benefit received at the time of dedication;
3) Where the person suffering injury was expressly invited by the owner to use the trail for a recreational purpose rather than merely permitted to use it;
4) Where the person suffering injury is a member of the owner's household
Fiscal Impact
Some private property owners have expressed an interest in granting a public trail easement but have concerns about the legal implications of such a decision. The primary concerns expressed are lawsuits and associated legal costs resulting from damages, injuries or accidents.
The State Attorney General has opined that a county may agree to indemnify private landowners from liability for injuries sustained by persons using trails adjoining or traversing the landowners= properties. The Attorney General further opined that the County and any grantor of a public easement will be immune from liability to any trail users who are injured by some condition of the trail.
In addition, the Attorney General states that offering indemnity serves a public purpose, and thus would not constitute a gift of public funds.
There is a direct public benefit to providing both legal protection for private property owners and public access for recreation trail enthusiasts. Indemnification is the key to developing a successful regional trail system that would benefit trail users, property owners and our citizens. In the interest of promoting non-motorized recreational trails, I urge the Board to move forward with the adoption of an ordinance that would ensure indemnification.
Respectfully submitted,
