Innovise is a business focused on building market specific, market leading technology. Working closely with our Support Services clients, and with Innovise's development teams Andy has been central to some of our innovation and is now best placed to discuss our latest development. The new Insights Pack for Timegate represents a new era of Business Intelligence and competitive advantages for our clients so we asked Andy Plant to tell us about this latest addition.
Hi Andy, so tell us a bit more about Timegate's new Insights pack?
The Insights pack was originally developed to allow our customers to produce their own management Information. A self-service reporting system, Insights enables our clients to build reports and Dashboards on top of the Timegate Data Warehouse.
This means our clients can use Timegate data to better analyse and visualise their performance be that operational, financial or for some other critical need. Timegate users are given increased freedom and flexibility when it comes to accessing live information on the organisation – it is a great addition to the Timegate solution and we are excited to see what people think of it as it rolls out to our client base.
What are the benefits of having the Insights pack?
Our customers know their data better than we do. Insights gives them the freedom to create the reports and Dashboards they need without having to rely on, and wait for Innovise to produce custom intelligence for them; the value in terms of time and money saved are immediate.
The Insights Pack also allows management teams to incorporate data from other systems, thus giving them a platform to create multi-applicational Dashboards and reports – this enables the achievement of a very wide and detailed organisational view. We are making normally very expensive and complex business tools easy to access and cost effective too.
We are pricing this tool for our market place and we know how our clients need this to be priced.
Talk to us about some of the features that customers can expect to see when using Insights
When it comes to features, the Insights pack is pretty exciting, but I am little biased. Developed as a result of customer feedback; what they wanted to be able to do, see, and understand more of, I think that we have developed a great tool for our customers. The list of features is long, but if I were to list the main points these would be:
- The insights Pack gives the user the opportunity to produce reports in a variety of difference formats. For example a traditional data grid format could be used or alternatively a selection of graph formats are available. This means the data can be presented to the target audience in the most effective way.
- The Insights Pack requires a single sign on from Timegate. This means that as far as the user is concerned, Insights is part of Timegate and they do not need to log onto a separate product. It just appears as a separate Timegate menu option, so super simple to access and operate.
- Insights includes user security role management capability. This means that access to the data can be controlled, so that users will only be able to see data that they have permission for. This can also be used to restrict access to read-only or read/write. Cleverly, this doesn't have to be the same 'operational' constraint of Timegate's main workforce management tool. We have created more ways to slice and dice that data and make our solution more appealing.
- Data model management is another feature of the Insights pack. This is the ability to be able to augment the Timegate data with data from other sources, thus giving the users the ability to build reports and Dashboards based on a variety of data streams. Being able to pull in other systems and data streams is really very cool.
- With Insights you can group reports or Dashboards by category as you see fit e.g. finance reports, finance Dashboards, operational reports etc.
- Template reports are also a feature within Insights, which is a huge time-saver. Users don't have to mess about creating every report from scratch. So its fast and easy to get to grips with if you are not an IT person first and foremost.
- Export and schedule reports are sent via email. Exports allows the data in a Dashboard or a report to be saved in a different format e.g. PDF, Excel or Word. Email will automatically send the report to designated people groups, speeding up the process and keeping communications consistent.
- Finally, the Insights Pack is hosted within Azure. Azure is Microsoft's cloud service. Being in Azure means that the Insights Data Warehouse system is not on the same platform as the live Timegate system. For our customers who do lots of reporting and analysis currently, this is good news as they can get enhanced performance across operations whilst the business's data and intelligence consumers can get all of the extra information and insight they want.
So, what do people think of the new Pack so far?
We have had a great response back so far. As with all pilots, we keep our feedback group quite small but we expect the success to continue as it goes on general release.
Where can people find out more about Timegate and the Insights pack?
Of course, everything you need around the Timegate solution will be on the Innovise website. For specific information on Insights, I would recommend they speak to the Account Manager to begin with, and from there we can introduce them to our new Pack with demonstrations and discussions.

Today's programme features the work of three well-known English composers of the first half of the 20th century or so: Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir Edward Elgar and Frederick Delius.
Ralph (pronounced "Rafe") Vaughan Williams (1872–1958) is one of Britain's best-loved composers, and one who is at last becoming more widely recognised as a truly great figure in the world of music. 2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the composer's death, and we are playing performances of many of his best-known works along with some that will be less familiar.
No-one could be regarded as more 'English' than Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934). We will be playing a selection of his works, some well-known – such as the Pomp and Circumstance Marches – and some much more seldom heard, including the Nursery Suite, which British listeners with long memories might possibly remember as being played on commercial television on 1960s afternoons between Schools programmes. Included in the programme today is a performance of the latter conducted by Sir Edward himself. You will also hear the magnificent Enigma Variations – the original theme to which remains a mystery to this day – and a wide selection of other works by the composer.
Frederick Albert Theodore Delius (1862–1934) was born in Bradford in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the north of England. Delius's musical style is characterized by a curious mixture of pentatonic figures and chromaticism, although still largely tonal, it reflects a move from the post-romanticism of the years following the death of Richard Wagner (1883) to a style that was unique to Delius, blending Impressionism with the slightly older post-romanticism and northern European and African-American folk idioms. His use of luscious harmonies — mainly slow moving, and constantly evolving melody, with the frequent use of leitmotifs — is what prompted Sir Thomas Beecham to describe him as "the last great apostle of romantic beauty in music."
In addition we will be playing a few pieces from other British composers of the same period such as Gustav Holst and Sir Arthur Bliss – including the latter's suite Things to Come, based on his music for William Cameron Menzies' 1936 film adaptation of HG Wells' book The Shape of Things to Come.
From the Library is produced by Radio Riel in conjunction with the Caledon Library in Second Life, to inform, educate and entertain. Today's programme is presented by Elrik Merlin.

New project: Towards an Interoperable Public Civic Ecosystem
In our vision for a Shared Digital Europe, which we published in April 2019, public and civic actors have an important role in safeguarding a digital space that is not... read more
By all accounts Tuesday's confirmation hearing of Margrethe Vestager, the designated European Commission Executive Vice President in charge of making "Europe fit for the Digital Age" went pretty well for her and she easily convinced the MEPs that she is fit for the job. Unsurprisingly (given her track record) most of the discussion focussed on issues of competition, taxation and the bigger question of how to ensure that that the European economy can remain competitive in the digital environment.
Among the few exchanges that touched on concrete policy actions her response to a question from MEP Angela Niebler on the just completed EU copyright reform was somewhat noteworthy:
"I am myself very happy with the outcome" of the EU's copyright reform, Vestager told European People's Party MEP Angelika Niebler. The "divisive and strong" debates during the copyright reform process will likely come back during the Digital Services Act, she said. The copyright acquis should not be re-opened in the upcoming legislation, the Dane added. (via politico.eu)
There are lots of reasons to disagree with her assessment of the outcome, nevertheless it is understandable that she is happy that the Commission managed to get the Copyright Directive passed after all, as this feat is widely seen as a political success for the outgoing Commission. Still it is somewhat worrisome to see Vestager fail to reflect on the outcome of the copyright fight in any meaningful way[1] and this failure to reflect does does not hold a lot of promise for the upcoming period including the much hyped fight about the Digital Services Act.
Instead of assuming that the Digital Services Act will lead to "divisive and strong debates" it might be better to analyse why the copyright reform process ended up being so divisive:
One of the lessons that can be learned is that there needs to be a discussion about the policy objectives first and that discussion needs to be disconnected from a discussion about the policy instruments that can be used to achieve these objectives. In the case of the copyright reform, the policy objective (to ensure that more of the value that dominant internet platforms created by using the output of European creators and creative businesses ends up with them) enjoyed much broader support than the policy measures proposed by the Commission.
Unfortunately this policy objective was never really discussed in public, instead the Commission (in concert with influential Member States) defined this policy objective behind closed doors and happily embraced the legislative approach that the creative industries presented to them based on their decade long desire to strip online intermediaries of their commerce liability privileges (which is the core element of what would become known as Article 13/17).
By coming out with a proposal that tied the policy objective (shift value from the big platforms to creators) with a concrete (and deeply flawed) policy intervention the Commission effectively pre-empted any chance of a constructive discussion about policy objectives and set the stage for the "divisive and strong" discussions that Vestager seems to accept as a given when it comes to legislative interventions in the digital space.
In the light of this experience it may be worth to have a broad discussion about the objectives and values of a new regulatory paradigm for platforms before any decisions on the nature of the legislative intervention are taken. Such discussions need to take place in the open and go beyond the form based consultations that the Commission has held in the past.
Another reason why Vestager's apparent content with the outcome of the copyright reform process is disappointing is that there are strong indications that the legislative package will fail to achieve its intended effect (see Google's recent decision to remove content from French news publishers who do not grant them a free license to use their content). Given her current and future role as competition Commissioner Vestager of all people should be able to recognise that the old trick of granting (more) monopoly rights to content creators has very limited effects on the ability to negotiate better deals with dominant aggregation platforms that are largely demand-driven. The most likely lesson that we can learn here is that copyright is not necessarily the most effective legislative tool when it comes to reigning in dominant platforms that are able to capture a disproportionate share of the value created online. ↩

On the 20th of December at the 42nd Mercosur Summit the decision was taken by Mercosur members to ban Falkland Island flagged ships from the trading bloc's ports. The move continues the dispute between Argentina and Britain over the status of the Falkland Islands, which Argentina continues to claim and refer to as the Malvinas.
As a result the UK Prime Minister issued a statement of full support for the islanders just before Christmas on 23rd December saying 'Whatever challenges we face in the UK, the British Government's commitment to the security and prosperity of the overseas territories, including the Falklands, remains undiminished.'
He also called these attempts by Argentina to disrupt shipping links to the Falklands as 'unjustified and unproductive'.
There are four full members of the Mercosur trading bloc: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. With a fifth country, Venezuela, waiting to become a fully ratified member. There are also another five associate members: Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
As Chile is reported by the People's Daily Online that it and other associate members would support the ban that just seems to leave Suriname, French Guiana and Guyana. Although it does also leave the landlocked countries of Bolivia and Paraguay in the clear.
The British Ambassador to Chile, Jon Benjamin, is quoted in the Buenos Aires Herald as expressing concern over the '…economic blockade on the islands and the small civil and innocent population that lives there'.
Luis Almagro, the Uruguayan Foreign Minister has said after a lengthy telephone call with his UK counterpart, William Hague, that this has not started some sort of diplomatic disaster with Britain and that it was the country's position not a personal dispute between politicians. He went on to say that "Except for Malvinas, we have a very good dialogue with the UK".
There are claims that oil exploration by British companies in the area and the intent to post Prince William there in his capacity as an RAF officer have caused the ruckus.
Next year 2012 will see the 30th anniversary of the Falklands war that cost the lives of three Falkland Islanders, 255 UK military personnel and 649 Argentine military personnel.

Living legend David Alan Grier and actor/comedian Tone Bell are slated to star in an upcoming comedy called 'Bum Deal'. The film is based in San Francisco where the duo can't seem to get their million dollar idea off of the ground. That is until they strike up a deal with a homeless person.
…two San Francisco slackers who, after failing to break into the business world with their million-dollar idea, strike a mutually rewarding deal with a homeless person to pose as the jet-setting venture capitalist who can get them in the door.
Sounds interesting, right? 'Bum Deal' is still in the works. But you can catch Tone Bell this summer in Netflix series 'Disjointed'. And David Alan Grier is returning to 'The Carmichael Show' for a third season.

Skip to 0 minutes and 13 seconds So what we want to do now is we want to understand how the algebra of a parabola or quadratic relation interacts with the geometry. So we'll be looking on the Cartesian plane, and we're going to be thinking about equations of quadratic relations. What happens if we shift them around? We're going to be looking at a very famous theorem of Descartes, which connects the geometry of a parabola with its zeroes. And we're going to go back to the ancient Arabs, to a mathematician named Al-Khwarizmi who introduced this famous operation of completing the square, and explain how his completing the square operations really connected very naturally with geometry. So we've been talking about quadratic relations and how to visualise them.
Skip to 1 minute and 3 seconds So our basic quadratic relation is y equals kx squared for some constant k. And here are some examples of particular values. When k is 1, we're talking about our standard parabola that we've already had a look at, y equals x squared. What happens if we change the k value? Well, then the shape of the parabola changes, but in a rather predictable way. So, for example, if we go to y equals 4x squared, then what happens is that, at any given value, we have to take the value of y equals x squared and simply multiply it by 4. So the net effect is to dilate the entire parabola in the vertical direction by a factor of four.
Skip to 1 minute and 46 seconds It's a very simple geometrical transformation, it's a dilation in the vertical direction. What if we introduce a negative value of k. So, for example, y equals minus 1/2 x squared? Well, the effect is similar, except that the negative sign here has an important effect of reversing the orientation of the parabola. So now it's a problem opening downwards. The effect of the 1/2 is to widen the parabola. So instead of making it narrower, like the 4x squared, it now becomes a little bit bit wider.
Skip to 2 minutes and 24 seconds It turns out that the shape of all these parabolas is really essentially the same, that this parabola and this parabola are really just different versions of each other. So in other words, if we looked at the blue parabola and zoomed out a fair distance from it, it would look just like the green parabola. So this is a basic understanding, the basic quadratic relation. Now, however, we want to go a little bit further, and we want to investigate more general quadratic relations. We want to ask, what happens if we look at an expression of the form y equals a x squared plus bx plus c? This is a general quadratic relation.
Skip to 3 minutes and 8 seconds And beautifully it turns out that if we understand these ones, we can understand these. So it turns out that a general quadratic relation like this is obtained from one of these by a suitable translation in the x direction followed by a translation in the y direction. So we're going to have a look at that. So let's see what happens when we translate a parabola in the xy plane. Here is y equals 4x squared. So let's take this parabola and translate it by 3. So the vertex, which is over here at 0,0, goes to the point 3,0. What we do to the equation is we take the equation, we replace the x with an x minus 3.
Skip to 3 minutes and 57 seconds So it becomes y equals 4 times x minus 3 squared. Let's check that that actually works. If we plug in x equals 3, then, yes, we get 0 on the right-hand side, so y really is 0. So, yes, that really is the vertex. And now what about a shift in the vertical direction? If we shift it down by 1, that's even easier. We just take the form y equals 4x minus 3 squared, and we subtract 1. The effect of that is to move each of the points down by 1 in the y direction. And, of course, the vertex here is the point 3 minus 1.
Skip to 4 minutes and 38 seconds And you could check if you plug in x equals 3, then, yes, y equals minus 1. So the lesson is that we can get at a general parabola
Skip to 4 minutes and 50 seconds if we have it in this form: some number, like the constant k, times x minus something, or perhaps plus something if it's moving to the left, all squared, and then plus or minus something else. So once we have a parabola in this form, we can read off a lot about it. The 4 in front of the x minus 3 squared is telling us how steep or narrow the parabola is. The 3 in here and the minus 1 here are really the coordinates of the vertex. So we have very precise geometrical information about where this parabola is once it's in this very special form.
Skip to 5 minutes and 32 seconds So a natural question is, suppose that we have a general quadratic equation, y equals a x squared plus bx plus c. First of all, can we put it in such a form? That would be a good thing to do because, if we can, we can immediately read off where the thing is. And how are we going to do that? The answer was given by an Arab mathematician about 1,000 years ago.
Zeroes, completing the square, and the quadratic formula I
Welcome back now to Week 4, as we put together a lot of the things you have learnt, and get into some deeper applications of quadratic relations and their algebra.
You have already seen that the basic linear proportionality \(\normalsize{y=x}\) can be rescaled into \(\normalsize{y=ax}\) and then translated to form the general line\[{\normalsize y=ax+b }.\]
The quadratic situation is similar. The basic parabola \(\normalsize{y=x^2}\) can be rescaled into \(\normalsize{y=ax^2}\) and then translated so that the vertex is at the point \(\normalsize{[u,v]}\). This process forms the general parabola\[\normalsize{y=a(x-u)^2 + v}.\]
This gives us a handle on more general quadratic relations, and also gives a strong visual orientation to the algebra of quadratic equations.

UB women's basketball has room for improvement
Women's basketball looking to end five-game losing streak
Just days after her women's basketball team lost on a last-second three-point shot, head coach Felisha Legette-Jack kept her players accountable for their actions on the floor at practice Monday.
Every miscue resulted in a stop in practice. A missed rotation, an allowed basket, a player not making cuts when needed, Legette-Jack would stop the play, sub players in and out and even jumped into the practice to initiate the action she wanted.
"I'm kicking it up a notch, I'm trying to keep them more accountable for their actions," she said. "I love for our coaches to do it, but they don't, I have to do it. We didn't lose that game because of the final shot. We lost that game because we missed 45 stops on defense that we're supposed to stop. They didn't score every time, but they got comfortable and were able to do anything they want."
Legette-Jack is trying to right the Bulls (10-9, 2-6 Mid-American Conference) after a five-game losing streak, including Saturday's heartbreaking loss to Northern Illinois (9-11, 2-7 MAC). Buffalo's promising 6-0 start seems like a long time ago now and won't get any easier for the team as it hosts MAC-leading Ohio (17-3, 9-0 MAC) on Wednesday night.
The team lost its top four scorers from last season with graduation of now assistant coach Kristen Sharkey and reigning MAC Defensive Player of the Year Christa Baccas, as well as the early retirement for Mackenzie Loesing and the transfer of Alexus Malone.
So far the lone bright spot for Buffalo offensively has been junior guard Joanna Smith, who's averaging 18.6 points per game and recently had a career-high 31 points in Buffalo's last game. The Bulls then have sophomore guard Stephanie Reid with 10.3 points per game and junior center Cassie Oursler with 8.2 points per game, but Legette-Jack is still in need of a third and fourth scorer.
"If you can get four people to score in double figures, you're in good shape," Legette-Jack said. "We need Stephanie, [Oursler] and [Smith] to give us double digits and if someone else can give us 10, it's a good day. Now, we're not getting that fourth scorer, nor that third scorer. We don't have that consistent third scorer yet and we need that."
For all of the concern about the team's offensive production, it's been the Buffalo defense that has bothered Legette-Jack the most during their losing streak. The Bulls have allowed 74.8 points per game during their five-game losing streak, including a dreadful 92-point outburst by Western Michigan. A far cry from the 59 points the Bulls aim to keep their opponent under.
Legette-Jack minced no words in expressing her "disappointment" in Buffalo's play on the defensive side.
"I'm very disappointed in our defense," Legette-Jack said. "We are giving up 76 points, 69 points, 64 points, our goal is to keep them under 59 and we have no pride in that. We give up 17 more points than we want to. We hold [Northern Illinois] to 59, we win that game hand over fist. We have to take more pride on the defensive side."
Despite the team's current play, the Bulls look to continue to improve with their younger players. The Bulls have just one senior on the roster, and the majority of minutes played are made up by freshmen and sophomores. Legette-Jack said that more time together on the floor would help.
Sharkey who starred on the court for the Bulls last season in her senior year, said that it takes time for a team to gel and she also sees the steps being made for the team to improve.
"I remember when I played my first few seasons under Jack, we had some losses and some miscues in practice and in the actual games, but as we worked together over time, we began to have more cohesion," Sharkey said. "We started out really well, but we're still a young team and sometimes, you go through these rough patches."
The Bulls get back on the floor Wednesday to face the Bobcats in Alumni Arena at 7 p.m. Even in the midst of a losing streak, Legette-Jack expects her team to come out and play hard. As for a progression, Legette-Jack hopes to see the beginning of that progression soon.
"I really like this team," Legette-Jack said. "I like what we're going to be in the future and I hope the future is Wednesday."

I had a funny thought about how differently Photoshop is used when getting ready to post this image. So often I hear "we can fix it in Photoshop." It is a phrase that makes any pro photographer cringe.
No, we can't fix it in Photoshop. There is no excuse for not shooting it right in the first place. But Photoshop and the other Adobe imaging tools open up a whole new world for creators. With CGI we can create worlds that otherwise couldn't exist. We can take whatever is in the imagination and bring it to life… as least in picture form.
In the photo above, by blending images of the model shot in a studio, the computer also shot in a studio and a street scene we were able to create the illusion of the spy stepping out of the computer and into the real world.
Contact us to see how we can use CGI to capture the imagination of your prospective clients and get them thinking with your brand.

YORKSHIRE snooker star Paul Hunter has died at Kirkwood Hospice after losing his battle with cancer, aged just 27.
Hunter, of Batley, was diagnosed with dozens of neuro endocrine tumours of the lining of his stomach in March 2005.
He was taken into Kirkwood Hospice in Dalton last Friday and died at 8.20pm yesterday evening - just five days before his 28th birthday.
He leaves a wife, Lindsey, and a daughter, Evie Rose, who was born on Boxing Day of last year.
Hunter - who trained at the Syngenta club in Huddersfield - fought his cancer with continuing chemotherapy treatments and continued to compete at the table last season.
Fellow snooker colleagues have lined up to pay tribute to the man affectionately nicknamed "The Beckham of the Baize" due to his good looks and blond hair.
Former world champion and now BBC commentator John Parrott said it was "a great loss to the sport".
And seven-times world champion Stephen Hendry said he was devastated by the news.
Stuart Gothard, the Syngenta club steward, himself a former Huddersfield Open snooker champion and a close friend of Hunter said: "It's terrible news.
"Naeem (another player and friend) and myself went over to the Nuffield Hospital in Elland last Thursday when the decision was taken to move him to Kirkwood Hospice, and we travelled back to Dalton with him.
"I'm afraid he was just a shadow of his former self.
"His condition had steadily worsened over the last three months, but he had really deteriorated over the last couple of weeks and was struggling to keep any food down.
"His best friend on the professonal circuit, Matthew Stevens, had been to visit him on Saturday."
Hunter had his own practice table at the Syngenta club on Leeds Road, but obviously he had not been down in recent months because of his illness.
"The last time he practiced here was just before the World Championships in April," added Gothard.
"And the last frame he ever played was in the Championship at the Crucible, which was perhaps a fitting place to play your last ever frame of snooker!"
Willie Thorne said: "I'm sure Paul would have been a future world champion. It's a sad loss to the game and his family.
"He had a heart like a lion, he battled until the end. You never knew when Paul was beaten. He will be sadly, sadly missed.
"He lit up the stage when he played. He was a very flamboyant player."
Hunter turned professional at the age of 16 in 1995 and won his first major title, the 1998 Welsh Open, at the age of 19.
He also won the Welsh title in 2002 and picked up the British Open trophy the same year but will be best remembered for his exploits at the Wembley Masters.
He fought back from seemingly impossible positions to lift the title twice and completed a hat-trick of Masters victories in 2004 when he came from 7-2 down to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-9.
World Snooker chairman Sir Rodney Walker said: "I'm sure that everyone will join me in sending most sincere sympathies to Lindsey, Paul's parents, his family and friends."

Michael Stranney – Welcome to Ballybeg 4**** - One4Review
one4review | On 19, Aug 2017
Michael Stranney delivers a highly entertaining and funny hour of comedy as small Irish town lad Daniel Duffy giving us the audience a presentation on behalf of the Ballybeg Tourist Board on how the afore said village is the only place to go on holiday.
With the presentation on VHS and the projector originally a barbecue, things are obviously going to go wrong and they do. But when this happens it gives Daniel a chance to introduce some of the characters who inhabit this would-be holiday mecca one of which is the woman he is secretly in love with.
There is ample opportunities for character development and comedy in Duffy and the cameos of the villagers of which Stranney does with this show is peppered with laugh-out loud moments either delivered live or in the occasionally working VHs.
The packed out crowd got on board with this rooting for him to succeed in his quest to get the tourist dollars in and running parallel to this willing him to 'get the girl before she leaves for Ouagadougou, it's twinned town.
Will Duffy succeed? You'll have to go to find out. This is a really good way to start a Fringe evening.

Mother Jones Editor Calls Carlson a 'D–kbag'
Mother Jones' Engagement Editor Adam Weinstein, relatively new to Washington's cozy media world, is making fast friends. But not with The Daily Caller's Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson.
"Sigh. I remember when bowties were a mark of respectability," Weinstein lashed out on Twitter Tuesday, referring to Carlson's former penchant for wearing bow-ties. He hasn't worn them in more than five years. Asked to elaborate on his thought and make sure he was, in fact, referring to Carlson, Weinstein told FishbowlDC, "It merely meant that Tucker Carlson is such a dickbag, he actually manages to sully the standard uniform of Rotarian alcoholic eight-pounds-of-hair-having Dixie conservative frat boy douchecanoes the world over."
Carlson's response was brief.
"Who's Adam Weinstein?" he wrote by email.

What foods trigger migraines?
What foods trigger migraines? There are some pain that we do not pay attention to many times, but when the same pain starts in children, it takes serious form. In general we have heard of migraine problem in adults when they have severe headaches. But nowadays migraine is also found in young children and young people. It is now being attacked among children as well and recently it has been increasing among students and young children for many reasons. According to a research, about 10% of school-going young children suffer from migraines. More than half of children have migraine attacks before the age of 12.
Symptoms of Migraine
Migraine is a neurological disease, so headache is a major symptom. But apart from this, there are other symptoms like: One-way headache, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, mood changes, sensitivity to light and sound etc. It does not last longer among children than adults, but it is enough to disrupt a child's normal life. Therefore, a doctor should be consulted soon. Many children are not able to attend school properly because these children often suffer from headaches every week.
Causes of Migraine in children
One of the main types of migraine is chronic daily migraine. It is uncommon for teenagers to have pain lasting more than four hours a day. Apart from migraines, there are many other reasons for migraine: – Low sleep is the most important aspect of the development of migraine and if it starts getting less and more, then the problem starts. Complaints of migraine may arise due to lack of adequate sleep or disturbance in the sleeping pattern. Whether a child or an adult, water intake is necessary for both. You do not get dehydrated when the weather changes, so keep drinking enough water. To stay active and healthy, children need to drink at least three liters of water throughout the day, but this is not followed properly and can therefore lead to dehydration. In the end it causes a problem like a bad headache.
Children have to go through stress and depression due to exam pressure, competition and sometimes family problems. Many children are unable to express their stress. Due to hiding, there is more pressure on his brain, which causes terrible pain. Nowadays children use mobile games, iPads, smart phones and technology devices very much, which can increase migraine.
Apart from this, migraine can increase among children due to changing environmental factors of the season and also due to other diseases. Children spend more time in front of the TV screen or computer which is very harmful because the brightness and flicker affects their vision.
How to recognize a migraine
Migraine can be easily prevented by identifying it. Headache is its main symptom. The remaining symptoms may be less visible like unexplained nausea, abdominal pain etc. Apart from this, there are some symptoms in children, which parents should pay attention to – like mood swings, sluggishness, sleeping habits, lack of food. If one of the parents has this problem, the child is more likely to have it. Tests for migraine such as blood test, EEG, neuroimaging tests are done to find out the cause of the headache.
Treatment of migraine
Three types of methods are commonly used in the treatment of migraine. First acute treatment where drugs are used to relieve symptoms. Acute therapy reduces all symptoms before they become severe. Usually, if a child is attacked 3 to 4 times a month, a doctor should be consulted. Medications are not used in the treatment of severe migraine. In this treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, acupuncture, exercise and proper rest and diet are helpful in avoiding attack triggers.

Colorado heads for a Friday night game in Eugene to play the #13 Oregon Ducks. Oregon is favored by 21. Seems like a done deal, right?
Fortunately for Colorado, the Pac-12 this year has been a feeding frenzy. And nothing seems to happen the way the pundits predict. That's good, because they predict a three touchdown defeat.
Not too long ago, the Pac-12 had six teams in the Top 25.
- Surprising California was in the Top 15. They've lost two of their three conference games since then.
- USC was back in the Top 25. They beat Stanford and Utah... and then came back to earth with losses to BYU and Washington.
- Washington was rumored to be a dark house for the post season playoffs... and then promptly lost to both Bay Area schools, Stanford and Cal.
- Arizona State made it to the Top 25, then got beat by Colorado and dropped out. They are back again after beating Cal.
- Washington State won 10 games last year. This year they are 3-2 and 0-2 in conference play. They gave up 66 points and lost to a horrible UCLA team, most of those in the last 20 minutes of a game they were leading by 30. Then they were throttled by Utah.
Colorado heads off to Eugene to face Oregon this Friday. OU is favored by 21. That makes sense, right? After all, Oregon did not score against Cal last week until almost the end of the 3rd quarter.
And last time Colorado came to town, Oregon thrashed them... right? Nope! A young Steven Montez led Colorado to a 41-38 victory.
And nobody knows which team will show up and be disciplined.
Will it be the Oregon team which was dominating until it collapsed against Auburn in the same manner as they did against Stanford last year?
Will it be the Colorado team who kills itself with penalties? Or the one who came roaring back to beat Nebraska or went into Sun Devil Stadium and beat Arizona State?
We will see. It's why they play the games.

Hi Everybody!
This week we break apart Chorus Five of my George "Harmonica" Smith tribute Lookin' Sharp. We're now in 3rd Position on a G harmonica which means that even though we are playing the same groove and the same key, we need to get in a different mindset for this new position. For those of you that are unfamiliar with 3rd Position, it's always a good idea to spend some time jamming with this new position before you try to tackle this head-on in context. Remember your are now rooted around the 4 draw and 1 draw, and we will be using more of those high 5-hole draw octaves.
Have a good time with this!

Thanks Dennis,
I get what you're saying: Go to the woodshed and kill the bleating goat.
Will do.
Thanks again for the guidance. I really like that burr you put on those notes.
Hi Dennis:
Around 6:10 - it's as near as I can tell the 1 draw. To my ear it has a rough, or a burr, on the edge. I hear it elsewhere (at 9:43), but this time on the 2 draw, going to the vibrato 1 draw.
no doubt, I need some work on the g harp. I've been playing a lot of d lately - a big switch.
the problem probably is a wimp factor. At the present my low end g notes sound anemic compared to yours. Any recommendations?
OK, I gotcha, haha! As far as I can tell, these are both 2 draw whole step bends that you are referring to...and I am bending them far down (further than the necessary whole step), which causes a little "burr" as you refer to it as. There is a very thin line between bending far enough (and forceful enough) to get this sound, and bending TOO far and forceful which will seriously fatigue the reed and shorten it's lifespan. That line becomes more clear with experieence, and of course by feel...and every player plays differently, so it must be felt out.
And I believe - as you point out - the tone and comfort at which you can play those notes/bends greatly affects the ability to make that sound, as subtle as it is. Remember, the goal for good tone and bending is not to bend forcefully, but to find the deepest resonant air chamber for that note (whichever note you are playing and/or bending) and to really control your breath, shape of air chamber, and throat movements while doing so. Hope that helps!
If you want to get better and more comfortable on the G or lower harps, spend more time practicing on them. Sounds obvious, but it's the best way. It may not sound great at first, but the more you allow your body and technique to get used ot it, the better you will get at it! Keep Rockin'!!
This a monster harp piece - really digging it. You're a great teacher on this stuff. Any tips on getting that "burr" on the end of those 1 and 2 draws?
Thanks Eric!
I'm not sure exactly what you mean...can you give me a time in the video so I can hear exactly what you mean and tell you...? Thanks!!

In this whimsical, original folktale written and illustrated throughout in vibrant full color by two celebrated masters of modern fantasy, a young girl's journey becomes an enchanting coming-of-age story about magic, friendship, and the courage to shape one's own destiny.
Lillian Kindred spends her days exploring the Tanglewood Forest, a magical, rolling wilderness that she imagines to be full of fairies. The trouble is, Lillian has never seen a wisp of magic in her hills--until the day the cats of the forest save her life by transforming her into a kitten. Now Lillian must set out on a perilous adventure that will lead her through untamed lands of fabled creatures--from Old Mother Possum to the fearsome Bear People--to find a way to make things right.

- egypt - This was a really good book and I hope you guys read it too. It's about a girl called Lillian who lives with her aunt. She gets bit by an snake, and then turned into a cat! She meets a fox and asks an animal (literally) witch who turns her into a girl again, but then her aunt gets bitten by the same snake and Lillian becomes a cat again to fix the problem. I love this story sooo much!
Starred review from January 14, 2013
In this enchanting expansion of De Lint and Vess's 2003 picture book, A Circle of Cats, the duo tells the story of Lillian Kindred, a spirited orphan living on a farm at the edge of a forest with her beloved aunt. While exploring, Lillian is bitten by a snake but saved from death by the magic of the feral cats she has befriended, who turn her into a kitten. Seeking a return to human form, Lillian makes a deal with Old Mother Possum, only to discover that her aunt has died of snakebite. A complex series of adventures, transformations, and tradeoffs occurs, involving a number of De Lint's typically syncretistic magical characters, including Aunt Nancy the spider woman and T.H. Reynolds the fox, who unapologetically informs Lillian that he's eaten Mother Possum's husband, saying, "I'm a fox. It's what we do." De Lint zestfully combines the traditional and the original, the light and the dark, while Vess's luminous full-color illustrations, simultaneously fluid and precise, capture Lillian's effervescent blend of determination and curiosity. Ages 8–12. Agent: Russell Galen, Scovil Galen Ghosh Literary Agency.
February 15, 2013
Rather than let Lillian Kindred die of a snakebite, the titular cats turn her into a kitten, and thereby hangs this sweetly magical tale. Tanglewood Forest is inhabited by cats and cat spirits, talking animals and the Apple Tree Man. Kitten Lillian meets Jack Crow, Old Mother Possum and the fox T.H. Reynolds (whose initials stand for "Truthful and Handsome") in her quest to regain her girl form--but that precipitates yet another snakebite and a different twist to an already twisty story. The tale is infused with Native American and European folk motifs as it meanders along. While it sometimes seems to be held together by little more than verbal gossamer, it is clearly written on a level even a young middle grader can easily follow. Vess' many and varied illustrations will be in color in the final version (only black-and-white sketches and some full drawings were seen). While Lillian grows in both grace and stubbornness, she also learns to listen and even to see the fairies she longs for. A satisfyingly folkloric, old-fashioned-feeling fable. (Fantasy. 8-12)

Gr 4-6-After 12-year-old Lillian Kindred is bitten by a venomous snake while playing in the woods around the remote farm where she lives with her aunt, the wild cats of the forest put her spirit into the body of a cat rather than let her die. However, when Lillian asks Old Mother Possum to change her back to a girl, her aunt dies from a snake bite instead. A sense of wrongness with this event sets in motion a journey first to the ancient and mystical Aunt Nancy of the Creek tribe and then to the Bear People, for whom Lillian works as a servant in return for an answer to her dilemma. This is a pleasant tale that meanders and takes its time, with many leisurely chats between Lillian and various animals, magical and otherwise, but not much action. There are no big epiphanies or momentous events; readers will feel satisfied when things work out for Lillian in the end, but it's not clear what point her adventures have or how everything hangs together. While well suited as a charming read-aloud for a younger child, this quiet, nature-rich fantasy might require some patience from older readers. The pencil and colored ink illustrations are lush and evocative, though the renderings of human characters are somewhat stiff.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library

Grades 3-6 In this expanded version of A Circle of Cats (2003), 12-year-old orphan Lillian is bitten by a snake, but she is spared death when the cats of Tanglewood Forest turn her into a kitten. Old Mother Possum takes her back in time to return her to human shape, but this time Lillian's aunt succumbs to the snake. Realizing that her choices bring unintended consequences, Lillian begins a quest to revisit her decisions, with the goal of saving her aunt, and her kindness toward others (as well as her cleverness) eventually does just that. Set in a magical forest populated by Bear People, an Apple Tree Man, and the Father of Cats, the story's lyrical, folkloric style is well suited to a tale of magic and mystery. Vess' line-and-watercolor illustrations (not seen in final form) appear throughout; they help to break up the text for younger readers and give form to de Lint's unusual characters.

University student scoops Richardson bursary prize
A University of Wolverhampton student has been chosen for a special award by the Black Country's most famous business family.
Iman Hussain, aged 21 from Redditch who is studying for a Master's Degree in Computer Science in the School of Mathematics and Computer Science, is the second winner of a £5,000 bursary courtesy of the Richardson family.
Iman, who also studied for his Undergraduate Degree at the University of Wolverhampton, impressed the judges made up of Richardson representatives and lecturers to win the bursary against tough competition.
Alongside his studies Iman works part time as a tutor, with a particular focus on special educational needs. Last summer he volunteered at the British International School in Somalia.
Iman said: "Winning this award means the world to me. It gives me stability to pursue my own ideas and projects, as well as the confidence to continue in my ambitions to prove technology can make a real and positive difference to local communities.
"The University of Wolverhampton has given me a fantastic platform for the future. With the backing of my lecturers and the support of the Richardson family I can look ahead with great optimism."
Dr Herbert Daly, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science in the School of Mathematics and Computer Science, said: "This is an amazing achievement for one of our students. Iman really stood out with his beliefs that computer science can be a force for good.
"Through his studies at the University Iman is proposing that smartphone apps can help with the redistribution of food that would otherwise be sent to landfill and that will, in turn, help the people that need it most.
"He also has a vision of how virtual reality can allow people to view Wolverhampton through history, as well as into the future by using a "Pokemon go" style of app to show how the city shaped British industry in the past and how it can now deliver on an international stage."
Joe Robinson, Investment Manager at RCL Partners, speaking on behalf of the Richardson Foundation, said: "We believe we've found a real star in Iman. He is a young man with a bright future ahead of him, who is not only extremely talented in his field but also has a passion for making a difference to the local community and is committed to the area.
"As a business that was established in the West Midlands but now has interests across the UK and around the world, we share Iman's values and are pleased to have the opportunity to help nurture future talent and for the family to continue its backing of the region as whole."

A Digital Marketing Strategy Gives You Direction
It's been said that a goal without a plan is just a wish. A Calgary marketing company can help you take that wish and make it a reality. A strategy will allow you to know what your goals are and plan effective ways to achieve them.
A Digital Marketing Strategy Fosters Connection
A digital marketing strategy will require you, or the marketing agency you hire to carry it out, to pinpoint the needs of your customers and the demands of the market. The research you do will help you to build better relationships with your clients overall as you meet their needs.
A Digital Marketing Strategy Ensures Ultimate Efficiency
One of the greatest productivity killers is duplication, or in other words, having two people or programs perform the same or similar tasks. A detailed digital marketing strategy will prevent this waste of resources. As well, a digital marketing company that takes care of everything from website design to Google analytics is more effective than hiring a different company for each.
A Digital Marketing Strategy Can Give You Greater Influence
If your Calgary business is not currently taking advantage of any digital or social media marketing, you are missing out on perhaps the most significant chunk of your market. A digital marketing strategy will expand your influence to digital platforms where you can connect with customers on a more personal and individualized basis.
A Digitial Marketing Strategy Optimizes Your Chances of Success
One of the most beneficial reasons to implement a marketing strategy is to generate leads more effectively on digital platforms. A Calgary marketing agency will employ SEO as well as other techniques to ensure all of your digital content is optimized for maximum lead generation.
Contact GrowME if you're in need of advice, digital marketing help, or for your next marketing campaign! For more information, send an email or give us a call! Local: (403) 5-GrowME | Toll Free: 1 (855) 547-6963 | [email protected]

Find out the nine things that sex experts are dying to tell you:
"We have a tendency to believe that good partners magically get it right," says sex educator Logan Levkoff, Ph.D. "That good sex isn't at all awkward and people magically know what to do with your body." Well, that's false. Not only should sex be fun and playful, but it also shouldn't be censored and structured into this glamorous ideal. Plus, those really real moments are the ones that bring you closer. "You may not remember the strongest orgasm you've ever had, but you'll remember the time you fell off the bed because you were so into it that you didn't realize you were on the edge," says Levkoff.
You Can Make Your Own Passion
If you haven't figured it out by now, real sex lives aren't usually filled with the same have-to-have-you-right-this-second spice that you see in rom-coms. We love those plotlines too, but so many women think that kind of intense passion is something they'll just stumble upon, says sex therapist Brandy Engler, Ph.D., author of The Men On My Couch. They wish for spontaneous desire, but they don't realize they can cultivate it on their own, says Engler. "No one is just walking around having passion all the time." That said, you can boost the passion in your relationship by tuning into your emotions and bringing them out in your sex life. "Passion is an emotionally expressive person in bed," says Engler. So whether you're feeling excited, happy, or angry, let yourself feel those emotions during sex to keep it alive and present.
|Hurukuro: 9 things Sex Experts really want you to know
You can be an amazing lover whether you've had two partners or twelve. "There is no such thing as being advanced at sex," says Levkoff. "It doesn't make a difference how much experience you've had in the past." What matters is how you're approaching the present experience—right now. Don't get caught up in wondering if you're prepared or skilled enough—it's sex, not Top Chef.
"It doesn't have to be as taboo as some women were raised to believe," says sex expert Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., research scientist at Indiana University and author of Sex Made Easy: Your Awkward Questions Answered for Better, Smarter, Amazing Sex. The fact is it can help you learn what feels good and how to orgasm more easily. Win-win, right? And don't shy away from props: "More than half of women and nearly half of men have used a vibrator at some point in their lives," says Herbenick.

Read our important medical disclaimer.
My 18-month-old ran into a corner of a table. It appears that he was hit mostly on the bridge of the nose. He cried for about 20 seconds and then all was normal. His eyes are completely white, normal movement, no swelling, and there is no signs of pain or abnormal vision. There's only a slight bruise under his eye. The only concerning symptom is that an hour after the injury, his eyes were watering and the tears had a pink hue (blood in tears). Should we be going to the emergency room? Why would he have blood stained tears?
Unfortunately, toddlers do run into tables more often than we like. The corners can cause minor or serious injury. You were correct to monitor his symptoms. It is hard to assess vision in this age group, but that should be checked and verified to be normal. Bloody tears likely do represent minor injury to tissues surrounding the eye including the tear drainage system. It would be safer to have the child examined.

Well, sort of! A MySpace poster named Porfle (I like to think of the name as a contraction of "pork waffle") has posted a rant against the "Aunt Bee" character on the classic TV program The Andy Griffith Show. Porfle's post begins with these memorable lines: "Ever want to blow Aunt Bee's head off with a shotgun? Me, too. " He then goes on to describe an episode that Rob Zombie or Quentin Tarantino might dream up for the show. It's hilarious-- read it here.
Coincidentally, The Drunken Severed Head, when he was a kid, had a relative called Aunt Bee, as well as an Uncle Monk and a great-grandmother called "Cooney". Colorful names ran in my family.
At the Classic Horror Film Board, Porfle, a/k/a Blackbiped, posts this funny foto:
Porfle's MySpace journal has been added to the links section here. He earned it.

A blogger has posted a naked photo on Instagram to send a message of body positivity and to encourage people to love your body "no matter what it looks like".
Grace Victory – a 26-year old YouTube blogger from Buckinghamshire – poses naked with a towel partially covering her body, alongside an inspiring caption in which she recalls the cruel words that were said to her as a child.
"More rolls than a bakery," she starts. "I remember d*ckheads at school saying that to me when I was a size 12".
Grace also revealed to her 141,000 followers that she struggled with an eating disorder at that age, but luckily, she's now in full recovery.
"Now I'm in recovery and loving my body no matter what it looks like, as long as I'm healing and well and fucking living my best life – that's all that matters."
The post has had over 17,000 likes so far, and her followers have been sharing their support.
One wrote: "I wish more posts like this were around when I was in hs because I too struggled so hard with my body image especially because I was the big girl but thank you I appreciate you."
Another said: "Keep doing you and representing for the females and showing everyone beauty comes in different colours shapes and sizes".
