My company wants to develop an application for a mobile device. What do we need to know about the IP issues involved?
Developing an app for a mobile device is not unlike other
types of software development. Thought should be given to
protecting patents, copyrights, trade marks and trade secrets
that might be embodied in the app, with some special
considerations for user-developed content and third-party
software agreements.
Own the copyright in your own app Perhaps the most common
pitfall is when companies hire outside contractors to develop
an app - or any other software - based on specifications and/or
functionality provided to the contractor by one or more
employees of the company. There is nothing inherently wrong
with this approach, as long as your vendor contracts include
both a so-called work for hire clause and an assignment clause.
That is, to the extent the software can be considered a work

Might this be the reason people experience Deja Vu? We're just repeating our same lives over and over in the newly created parallel universes. We die and wait for the next fecund paradigm to begin our same lives over again. I want a different one.....

Published April 9, 2010
Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe.
In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities.
According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn't collapse into a single point, as has been predicted, but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one, the theory goes.
(Related: "New Proof Unknown 'Structures' Tug at Our Universe.")
In a recent paper published in the journal Physics Letters B, Indiana University physicist Nikodem Poplawski presents new mathematical models of the spiraling motion of matter falling into a black hole. His equations suggest such wormholes are viable alternatives to the "space-time singularities" that Albert Einstein predicted to be at the centers of black holes.
According to Einstein's equations for general relativity, singularities are created whenever matter in a given region gets too dense, as would happen at the ultradense heart of a black hole.
Einstein's theory suggests singularities take up no space, are infinitely dense, and are infinitely hot—a concept supported by numerous lines of indirect evidence but still so outlandish that many scientists find it hard to accept.
If Poplawski is correct, they may no longer have to.
According to the new equations, the matter black holes absorb and seemingly destroy is actually expelled and becomes the building blocks for galaxies, stars, and planets in another reality.
(Related: "Dark Energy's Demise? New Theory Doesn't Use the Force.")
Wormholes Solve Big Bang Mystery?
The notion of black holes as wormholes could explain certain mysteries in modern cosmology, Poplawski said.
For example, the big bang theory says the universe started as a singularity. But scientists have no satisfying explanation for how such a singularity might have formed in the first place.
If our universe was birthed by a white hole instead of a singularity, Poplawski said, "it would solve this problem of black hole singularities and also the big bang singularity."
Wormholes might also explain gamma ray bursts, the second most powerful explosions in the universe after the big bang.
Gamma ray bursts occur at the fringes of the known universe. They appear to be associated with supernovae, or star explosions, in faraway galaxies, but their exact sources are a mystery. (Related: "Gamma-Ray Burst Caused Mass Extinction?")
Poplawski proposes that the bursts may be discharges of matter from alternate universes. The matter, he says, might be escaping into our universe through supermassive black holes—wormholes—at the hearts of those galaxies, though it's not clear how that would be possible.
"It's kind of a crazy idea, but who knows?" he said. (Related: "Are Wormholes Tunnels for Time Travel?")
There is at least one way to test Poplawski's theory: Some of our universe's black holes rotate, and if our universe was born inside a similarly revolving black hole, then our universe should have inherited the parent object's rotation.
If future experiments reveal that our universe appears to rotate in a preferred direction, it would be indirect evidence supporting his wormhole theory, Poplawski said.
Wormholes Are "Exotic Matter" Makers?
The wormhole theory may also help explain why certain features of our universe deviate from what theory predicts, according to physicists.
Based on the standard model of physics, after the big bang the curvature of the universe should have increased over time so that now—13.7 billion years later—we should seem to be sitting on the surface of a closed, spherical universe.
But observations show the universe appears flat in all directions.
What's more, data on light from the very early universe show that everything just after the big bang was a fairly uniform temperature.
That would mean that the farthest objects we see on opposite horizons of the universe were once close enough to interact and come to equilibrium, like molecules of gas in a sealed chamber.
Again, observations don't match predictions, because the objects farthest from each other in the known universe are so far apart that the time it would take to travel between them at the speed of light exceeds the age of the universe.
To explain the discrepancies, astronomers devised the concept of inflation.
Inflation states that shortly after the universe was created, it experienced a rapid growth spurt during which space itself expanded at faster-than-light speeds. The expansion stretched the universe from a size smaller than an atom to astronomical proportions in a fraction of a second.
The universe therefore appears flat, because the sphere we're sitting on is extremely large from our viewpoint—just as the sphere of Earth seems flat to someone standing in a field.
Inflation also explains how objects so far away from each other might have once been close enough to interact.
But—assuming inflation is real—astronomers have always been at pains to explain what caused it. That's where the new wormhole theory comes in.
According to Poplawski, some theories of inflation say the event was caused by "exotic matter," a theoretical substance that differs from normal matter, in part because it is repelled rather than attracted by gravity.
Based on his equations, Poplawski thinks such exotic matter might have been created when some of the first massive stars collapsed and became wormholes.
"There may be some relationship between the exotic matter that forms wormholes and the exotic matter that triggered inflation," he said.
(Related: "Before the Big Bang: Light Shed on 'Previous Universe.'")
Wormhole Equations an "Actual Solution"
The new model isn't the first to propose that other universes exist inside black holes. Damien Easson, a theoretical physicist at Arizona State University, has made the speculation in previous studies.
"What is new here is an actual wormhole solution in general relativity that acts as the passage from the exterior black hole to the new interior universe," said Easson, who was not involved in the new study.
"In our paper, we just speculated that such a solution could exist, but Poplawski has found an actual solution," said Easson, referring to Poplawski's equations.
(Related: "Universe 20 Million Years Older Than Thought.")
Nevertheless, the idea is still very speculative, Easson said in an email.
"Is the idea possible? Yes. Is the scenario likely? I have no idea. But it is certainly an interesting possibility."
Future work in quantum gravity—the study of gravity at the subatomic level—could refine the equations and potentially support or disprove Poplawski's theory, Easson said.
Wormhole Theory No Breakthrough
Overall, the wormhole theory is interesting, but not a breakthrough in explaining the origins of our universe, said Andreas Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California, Davis, who was also not involved in the new study.
By saying our universe was created by a gush of matter from a parent universe, the theory simply shifts the original creation event into an alternate reality.
In other words, it doesn't explain how the parent universe came to be or why it has the properties it has—properties our universe presumably inherited.
"There're really some pressing problems we're trying to solve, and it's not clear that any of this is offering a way forward with that," he said.
Still, Albrecht doesn't find the idea of universe-bridging wormholes any stranger than the idea of black hole singularities, and he cautions against dismissing the new theory just because it sounds a little out there.
"Everything people ask in this business is pretty weird," he said. "You can't say the less weird [idea] is going to win, because that's not the way it's been, by any means."
Whilst I agree with the conclusion reached by Poplawski that our universe is just one of an infinite number, rather than viewing black holes as wormholes that create these universes, I would like to suggest that they emerge from Einstein's point of singularity. For, when we look back in time to the formation of our own universe, all the evidence points to a Big Bang when space, time and mass expanded exponentially from a single point i.e. 'the other side of a black hole'. Thus, each black hole could be seen as the progenitor of a new universe forming explosively beyond the point of singularity in all directions of space/time like synapses forming in our brain.
Very cool ides here. I wonder what alternate realities would like in regards to the Earth alone. I'm also kind of wondering if things, in regards to the setup of the universe, would be the same or different. Copies would seem strange, like we're all one big science project to see how things go with certain factors. Hope some of this is figured out in my lifetime, mysteries are nerve racking.
I just thought up this idea while researching black holes and decided to look up if anyone had said anything similar before me. My idea seems very similar to this one, possibly identical, but I do not know, as this article is short and likely does not describe all the details involved in this theory.
My theory:
Black holes are their own universe. I will call OUR observable universe "U1" (Universe 1).
Our "Big Bang" would simply be the formation of U1 in the parent universe, due to a star collapsing or however black holes are truly formed.
We'll call our "parent" universe "U0".
All of the matter inside U1 is from what U1 has "eaten" while floating through U0.
While inside U1, the universe would appear to expand very rapidly (as I believe we see it doing). Because of how we believe black holes effect space-time, while in U0, U1 would appear to just be floating through space like any other black hole.
It's possible U1 is a super-massive black hole, but who knows? We would need data from inside another black hole universe to compare the rates of expansion to determine the sizes comparatively. Or we'd need the data of our universe's rate of expansion compared to the rate of "eating" black holes in our universe do, all in relation to rate of distortion in space/time between our universe and the black holes we can observe.
While any beings observing the black hole (U1) float through the space inside of U0 would see it only devour 1 star every X amount of years, the beings (us) inside of U1 would see their universe expanding very rapidly because the time inside of U1 is moving much faster than the time in U0. Possibly because time, like space, is also compressed inside of a black hole.
All of this coincides with the Big Bang theory as well as calling for multiple universes as many others have done before me.
My theory is different in that I do not think there are "white holes", but that the matter U1 absorbs is scattered throughout the entirety of the edge of our universe, in much the same way that we believe matter may be spread out along the event horizon of a black hole. This also explains why we see black holes as black and devoid of light; All that matter and light is pulled in to our universe and can not escape once beyond the event horizon (edge of OUR universe), so anyone outside would not be able to see anything inside, assuming their laws of physics work like ours.
Whether or not there are an infinite number of universes inside an infinite number of black holes is anyone's guess and I will not pretend to know any of this to be fact.
I'm getting tired and bored though so I'll end it here.
This is simply a theory based on my observations and my research of the theories of others much smarter than myself, as their theories were and as all theories are. I welcome discussion on this topic and invite you to email me with any thoughts on the topic at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Side idea:
If we could find the difference in the rate of flow of time inside a black hole compared to ours, we could compare it to ours and create a mathematical formula. The data would be required to determine the size:time distortion ratio and a second black holes readings would be required to see if the formula holds true and could be considered a constant.
That might allow us to communicate one-way by sending radio waves (or something similarly manipulable) of a super-high frequency IN TO black holes (other universes), based on the formula, but I'm getting ahead of myself and that type of communication would be almost pointless as we'd never know if anyone received it unless time moved so fast inside that the beings discover a way to communicate back. But even then, by the time we responded to their message, they would probably no longer even exist, all depending on how fast their time was moving, of course.
Interesting premise and unfalsifiable at this point. But still the best I have read recently.
The fact is our universe is expanding from a Big Bang event is now a given and this event possibly started from a White Hole sounds plausible.
It raises the question of our universe expanding and where this ends.
Does our universe loop back on itself disappearing down the Black Holes that have formed?
Sounds like remarkably like human mythology and the higher consciousness theories.
Just saying ...
Interesting, I used to have this thought when I first started learning about Black Holes. Wow.
I must also note that seeking to understand these concepts is freedom from the stressful tit for tat goings on of society. In fact, the more I can delve into the why and how of our existence, the more I feel secure in my being. This knowledge satisfies lifelong yearnings and lends an immortality to my experience.
I'd love to hear someone much smarter than myself expound upon this. Does each black hole in our universe potentially contain a universe full of black holes that also contain universes (which would be infinite?)
A fascinating read...
interesting but creepy
black holes are creepy

Ah.......expanding possibilities
Why building blocks for other Universes and not for new stars, galaxies of this Universe? Like any natural vortex do it? Like the womb of females do it?
Mathematicians are doing a corrosive job to the field of Math, the same way that the Bible's writers did a corrosive job to their religion when their minds extrapolated beyond what the field reveals or can explain, for instance, with the affirmation that Earth is 6.000 years old.
The nucleus of galaxies never could be observed, so, black wholes is a mathematical theory, which are extrapolating the limits when Math can not translates natural phenomena. See at other theory, called "The Universal Matrix for Natural Systems and Life's Cycles", which is not a mathematical approach but a biological one, and what this theory is suggesting that has hidden inside those nucleus. The idea that the galactic nucleus produces building blocks for astronomical systems ( and not for universes- which weird idea!) was announced by this theory 30 years ago.
Mathematicians should understanding that the world is too much complex for human mind to know it, that the human mind can not grasp the language of the world, that the world is built upon a hierarchy of different dimensions ( String Theory suggests there are 11 dimensions!) which means different ways for organizing matter and different levels of natural laws, mechanisms and processes, into systems, so, Math will not translate more than the physical foundations with its mechanical movements.
The human body, for instance, can have only its bone skeleton translated by Math, but, the most complexes next levels, the soft level of meat and organs, the mysterious level of consciousness, can not be worked with Math. If you insist, you will see ghosts where there is none, like black holes are imagined ghosts of space. The limit of Math for calculation what is hidden inside the galactic nucleus is when the forces and elements arrives to the limit of extreme singularity: never Nature goes beyond this limit, never reaches again the point of singularity. Before that, systems are transformed into other shapes of systems. Then, the absurdity of this theory about black holes. If mathematicians wants to research what is going there, leave out from Math and take in Biology now. Math already did a good job describing most of the Universe physical skeleton, now is time for beginning to learn about its soft level.
Since the singularity may contain no space, it can not be hot.
Heat is a movement of particles and only one manifestation of energy.
The math for a universe in equilibrium as a Schwartzchild solution is quite simple. The derivation of the universal radius along with the mass and a new derivation of the alpha constant (in universal terms) is available to all at; http://ufpb.academia.edu/KauaiiHi
Feel free to read and use and to give credit when you do.
I think I figured some of this out, and I go further into it on my website, http://realityisadot.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-i-will-control-universe-i-have.html
but you have to really stretch the imagination. is it possible that the universe and everything in it is intelligent? if life was dumb, it would keep repeating the same mistakes, therefore, looping. when light catches up to itself, it has to either keep looking at it's own back, or it must make a conscious decision to break out of that loop. at the point of singularity, there must be a change, go left, go right, go pi. but eventually, it will all come back to the same point. or, the only way it can break free of the loop is to go ahead of itself, creating new universes, evolve into something different. imagine a single dot, doing that infinitely, going faster than itself, creating a new version of itself in the process. how many times would it have to do that to create reality that we see? energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed. at the point of singularity, that is the change. it's mind boggling.
I came to this conclusion in 2011 as well by watching docs on the universe and such. Not knowing any mathmatical way to describe the theory if you apply the knowledge of our universe and compare it to what we know about black holes the similarities are endless.
A big one for me that I cant figure out is our universes speed limit of the speed of light. How does this rule get created? I believe the rule is "inherited" by the parent black hole pulling in all matter including light. We know that even light cannot escape a black hole, perhaps setting the universal speed limit?
If we could achieve a speed faster that could allow us to "escape" our parent black hole...
I am sorry that my comment had to be two parts. (I must be long winded.)
One big problem... If the energy being amassed at the point of entry (or theoretical point of existence) of the black hole is so great that it collapses the energy into itself, then that energy may not be destroyed as much as equalized as all of the elements of energy are combined. Although we may not have only positive and negative to contend with, the multitude of other forces (lets call them neutral and maelstrom) that enter and combine with the known energy elements commingle and coalesce into another form of that energy at a different level. I contend that at that point, it does become another level (level up) of energy, and is for the most part, stored until there is and imbalance. And, until that imbalance evens out or catastrophically falls to one side, the black hole drags into itself all things possible to either a point of rebalance or the event horizon of something catastrophic, it releases the gamma bursts.
My summation is that the 'black hole' is nothing more than a gas tank, and until it reaches a critical mass of this leveled up material, it keeps filling up.
I believe that both Mr.Marlow and Mr. Wang are correct to some degree.
Mr. Marlow points out that the escape velocity might be somewhat constant to c, that itself could be a coincidence... but then again, it is not exact (nor will it ever be as the energy diverted and portioned off from entering the black hole would cause a dispensation to the black hole and the alternate universe at an unfair equation [we don't know the veriables]), so it therefore is only something close to c and not true to being a parent speed, only something relative.
Mr. Wang is even closer if you think about your shower drain taking in too much water, once the optimum volume has occurred, you get a back pressure (or lack of vacuum) and for a moment, an equilibrium, which allows a gamma burst to occur as the burst is too much for the black hole to contain.
Take 200 billion galaxies in the universe with 200 billion suns each and you get a mass of the universe of about 8x10^52 kg. Take that mass and a radius of 1.3x10^26 m (14 b.l.y.) and you get an escape velocity equal to something close to c. If the escape velocity really is c this mean that our own universe is a black hole and other black holes should be the same as ours - another universe.
Although this is an interesting theory there is a slight problem to it. (Two in fact) There can not be an object that sucks in everything, yet does not release anything. The worm-hole solves that rather nicely. However, if a worm-hole were to ever exist, it would have a very high chance of being unstable and would implode on itself with a slight disturbance, such as the disturbance of matter flowing though it. Another way to solve the matter of not releasing any energy would be the fact that a white-hole (the complete opposite of a black hole) existed. However, a white-hole would be almost impossible to create as black-holes are almost impossible to destroy.
Sorry if I had any outdated info or incorrect. It's been a while.
@Adrian Glew exactly, the singularity is the first instance of space time for the new universe (on the inside) and the core of hyper gravity thats created during hyper novae (on the outside)...
@Louis S I agree with most of what you've said here with some thoughts to add. I dont think you can compare what a black hole looks like from our (on earth) point of view and the universe we reside in visually. As we are on the surface of the event horizon like you stated and the perspective from the "inside" would not be there because its a hidden dimension to us.
I always think of Superman where the villains are stuck on the plate of glass floating in space.
As far as the white hole. I would use that term to describe the inverse of a black hole because I picture the gravity being so extreme that the particles collapse on themselves and pack in so tightly they become a singularity and basically have no where to go after that and are forced "inside out". Perhaps even the explosion that neutron stars have as they detonate and become black holes is that "inside" universe Big Bang...
The only thing that gets out is Dark Matter!
@Louis S This may also explain quantum entanglement. Particles may be joined together at a quantum level because in U0 they were from the same bit of matter, but in U1, they have been spread out across the universe and are in a piece of all (or at least a lot) of different bits of matter.
@Bart Barton that is the theory, every time a black hole is created that is the Big Bang for universe "inside" the parent black hole...
right so then you also have that whole infinity thing again heh...
@Louis Morelli Math simply converts what is observed into numbers and formulas. Since any biological system is comprised of these components, they too must follow the same rules of physics. While the tissues and brain of humans is extremely complex, there is an underlying math to express everything that happens and why. Just because something is unimaginably difficult for us to calculate does not mean it is immune to the laws and rules of physics. Consciousness and self-awareness also exists in this Universe therefore it too will have an expression to define it. As recently as 500 years ago it was commonly accepted knowledge that the earth was the center of the Universe because they couldn't calculate or prove otherwise. As our technology increases so too does the precision of our calculations which results in a more accurate understanding of our Universe and everything in it making it our best theory. Any other theory that does not have an underlying science to back it up (and ultimately math) is no different than belief or religion. The understanding, testing, and calculations used to define our Universe and the underlying physics is used and reworked all over the world every day and as long as the observed results match predicted results (using math) then it further supports that theory. If it is proven false then that theory is discarded and the next, most likely theory that hasn't been proven false takes its place.
Also, you call the theory of black holes absurd (even though they've been proven and we've studied them not to mention they are seen all over the place including at the center of our galaxy which is further supported by math calculations, you go on to spout some of your own theories that have no underlying math or logic and no control or peer reviewed studies, you might as well be saying that the earth was created in seven days, that aliens travelled to our bodies via astral plane, and that Klingons are conspiring with Wookies to invade earth as that's about the same level of validity your crackpot absurd argument has.
Next time do everyone a favour and actually learn about science, mathematics, and astrophysics before making a fool of yourself online. I personally have lost juts a little bit more faith in mankind when I see this degree of ignorance (especially online) when we have access all the information known to man with just a few keystrokes. At least before the Internet people had to actually read about a topic somewhere like an encyclopedia before they could even begin to discuss their ideas with others. Now anyone who watches 5 minutes of a documentary (before their ADHD takes over and they start focusing on something else) thinks they are an expert and that mathematics and every scientist on the planet is wrong because they singlehandedly found a better solution their brain has to fill in the blanks on how it thinks something works based on their own faulty logic.
a black hole is not just a mathematical theory anymore, our telescopes have captured giant stars orbiting the center of galaxies at millions of miles per hour visually showing the effects of the black holes infinite gravity...
@Roland Dorau think of the heat created crushing everything into nothing...
@Roland Dorau the singularity is space time inverted into a child universe...
@Roland Dorau
That would be based on grade school physics. You must understand that space-time is warped so much so in and around a black hole, the laws of its physical constraints is altered from its parent laws.
@Myles Boch I believe the universe (black hole) is shaped like a doughnut and we are on the surface (event horizon) of it. It has north and south poles ans spins super fast. When one dies (big rip) it shoots gamma rays which is all the matter from the inner universe turned into pure energy. e+mc squared.
part 2 of 2
part 1 of 2
@Richard Wang its releasing into a different space time through the white hole, information is never destroyed...
@Kerry Berndt It is not appropriate to incinerate another for their lack of understanding (if that is that case). No, the superior move would be to empathize and show some leadership. In this case, you've attracted more negativity to yourself, in an infinite loop. And that is not good, might I suggest a complete reworking of your social skills?
@Todd Jech @Myles Boch That's E=MC squared, not +
@Bart Barton A negative comment begets a negative response. You weren't the one that made the comment, so the response wasn't directed at you; there is no need to take personal offence.
I agree that ignorance of facts is understandable,however, the OP was incinerating science and mathematics which is unacceptable even if one doesn't understand it.
That being said perhaps I was a bit harsh, I'm just tired of seeing ignorant comments on every article and documentary I watch online.

UCLDH Guest Speaker: Lorna Hughes, "Cymru1914.org: Building a new digital archive on the Welsh Experience of the First World War"
Publication date: Apr 24, 2014 4:19:57 PM
Start: May 12, 2014 5:30:00 PM
Rhyfel Byd 1914-1918 a'r profiad Cymreig / Welsh experience of the First World War 1914-1918 (www.cymru1914.org) is a mass digital archive of the primary sources relating to the First World War in Wales. It was funded by the UK's Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) from February 2012-October 2013. The project has digitized archives, manuscripts, photographs, art works, and oral histories held by the archives and special collections of Wales to create a coherent, consolidated digital collection revealing the often hidden history of the impact of the War: an invaluable resource for teaching, research, and public engagement that is available to support many aspects of the commemoration of the centenaries of the First World War.
This presentation will discuss the development of this digital resource, and in particular, it will highlight ways that considerations of end-use and impact were built into project planning. This includes selection of content, interface development, community engagement, and planning for long-term sustainability of the finished digital resource.
Professor Lorna Hughes, University of Wales Chair in Digital Collections, National Library of Wales.
All welcome, drinks and nibbles will be provided after the talk. Please note that registration is required.

The number of women in key management positions in Western Australia is lower than anywhere else in the country, a preliminary report has found.
It is not all down to the male-dominated resources sector, with a less "robust" childcare system, a lack of support and a lack of organisational flexibility all combining for "a perfect storm" in WA.
It follows figures last week showing that the wage gap in the state is also the worst in the country with men paid 25 per cent more than women.
The resources boom was one factor, but companies are being told they need to take the issue seriously.

The family of a fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) worker who took his own life has backed calls for an inquiry into a spate of suicides involving workers on resources projects in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
In the past 12 months, nine workers have taken their own lives while living away from home and the West Australian Government is considering a parliamentary inquiry.
The family of mining supervisor Steven Migas, 36, who took his own life last November, wants an investigation into the FIFO suicides and the impact of stress on the job.
"It's too late for us, we've already lost our brother, we aren't getting anything out of this, we just want other families not to go through what we have gone through, and that's it," his brother John told 7.30.

Lancaster University to exploit its global reach for the benefit of UK SMEs
Story supplied by LU Press Office
The Lancaster China Catalyst Programme aims to revitalise the UK's position in the global exports markets, create 240 jobs, help 400 domestic businesses and boost the economy by £40m.
The £5.1 million Lancaster China Catalyst Programme - created by Lancaster University and part-funded by the Higher Education Funding Council's Catalyst Fund, the University and Lancashire County Council - will help small and medium sized UK firms compete in increasingly competitive global markets by helping them to become established in the world's fastest growing economy - China.
The project aims to support the development of a significant number of partnerships between UK and Chinese companies, which focus on the research, development and commercialisation of new products and services for major export markets.
The scheme will do this by helping SMEs gain access to contacts and business networks within China's Guangdong Province - China's most populated province with more than 71m residents - by partnering with the Guangdong Provincial Office of Science and Technology. It will help UK firms cut through red tape and provide guidance on doing business in the Far East.
Participating UK SMEs will benefit from access to up to 100 Lancaster University graduates drawn from science, technology, engineering, design and management disciplines to support research, development and commercialisation of new products and services for export.
This graduate support programme will help to produce a new generation of employees with the skills to help the UK become more competitive globally in the future.
Firms will also receive support to improve their leadership and management skills for internationalisation through accessing Lancaster's expertise in the development and delivery of creative leadership programmes and long-standing experience of working in China. This draws on the expertise of Lancaster's established LEAD programme, which has created 10,000 new jobs in the UK to date.
Trevor McMillan, Pro Vice Chancellor for Research at Lancaster University, said: "Lancaster University was the first UK academic institution to establish links in China following the Cultural Revolution and our long established links with, and understanding of, China places us in a unique position to help UK businesses to exploit export opportunities in the world's fastest growing economy.
"Lancaster University has a great track record of working with SMEs and we believe this initiative, which takes great advantage of our accumulated experience and expertise in areas such as research and leadership training, will enable us to significantly assist participating businesses to maximise their export potential.
"It also provides fantastic opportunities for our graduates to gain highly valuable experience and skills as they enter the workforce."
The project will involve up to 400 SMEs in a range of sectors including environmental technology, digital and creative, high-value manufacturing, novel materials, ICT, low carbon and transport sectors.
It is hoped that in the future the project will expand beyond Guangdong due to Lancaster University's established partnerships with the South China University of Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It is expected that the project will generate £40 million for the economy, following an investment of just over £5.1m. This includes £3.582m from HEFCE, £720K from SMEs, £500k from Lancashire County Council and £320k from Lancaster University.
Lancaster University has a nationally-leading reputation for working with UK SMEs. Since 1998, the university has worked with more than 5,000 SMEs to help provide economic growth.
Partners in the project are the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Guangdong Provincial Government, Lancashire County Council, Local Enterprise Partnerships and business growth hubs, Chambers of Commerce, UKTI and the China-British Business Council.
The project featured in Lancashire Business View on October 18th 2013.

I have very little experience with Wyeast smack packs, but i wanted to try the 3522 Belgain Ardennes. The package came via mail on a mildly hot septmeber day in a padded envelope with a cool pack (that had been exhausted) the smack pack didnt know seem to hot or swelled. I refriderated for 3 days untill i could get around to it. Pulled it out warmed it up to room temp (68-72 degrees) and followed instructions. (found inside pack and smacked etc.) it didnt show any major signs of swelling but i though enough after 3 hours so I made some wort (1 cup of dry malt extract to 32oz water) boiled for 15 minutes cooled to 70 degrees and pitched Wyeast pack into starter. Inside the wyeast pack there are two little packages of nutrieints, one had not been opened so i cut it open and placed into mixture. Not seeing any signs of fermentation in such a small starter along with the seemingly not expanding Wyeast pack is leading me to beleive that it was not good or the yeast died in the heat of transit. Any thoughts? (all was done under cleaned well maintained equipment. Particularly interested in any ones experience with this yeast?
Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.Chicken Hat and Biscuits BreweryGahanna Ohio, Herb Capital to the World
I've never seen two nutrient packs inside a smack pack...might be that you never opened it so there was nothing to cause activity. As well, you don't always get swelling. How long has the starter been going for?
I think we need a special category for "Classic Posts".
you can burst the nutrient packet inside by holding the sealed yeast pack in one hand and smacking it hard with the other. after the pack swells (or doesn't) you just cut one of the corners of the pack and pour into your starter wort or fermenter.
First the starter has been going for over 24 hours now, but i figured an entire pack pitched into a 32oz wort with a OG of 1035 would certainly be humming along by now. @eastoak I poured the yeast into the wort and extracted the nutrient packet with sterilized tongs and cut it with sterilized scissors dumping its contents to wort. Second It had two nutrient packs one clearly opened, though i suspect if that is not the normal case then one never opened and the other was a fluke from the factory. I will keep you uptodate but it seems as though no fermentation is happening still. And i have an airlocked measuring device to view.
Airlocks are not a measuring device, just an air barrier that is not a reliable indicator of fermentation. Is this in a glass container? If so give it a gentle swirl to get the yeast on the bottom to mix back into solution, you should see a bit of foam form on the top from CO2 escaping. If you look close you should see a bunch of really tiny bubbles coming up the side.
As I've posted before my starters always fail to move until around 40hrs even then it's just fizzing and ta da done! I've also use the smell test if it smells like bread let it sit, beer smell then I usually start seeing signs shortly.

Spring in full bloom is coming to an end, hello Summer!
Our boy, AKA 'The Pok', has started to say some really funny things with the reasoning of a 4-year-old behind his musings. Some of it is hilarious, or just bizarre.
I am far from being a saint when I am driving my and reacting to the idiotic misaligned actions of my fellow drivers. To be honest, my language when cussing other drivers was pretty bad. That has changed significantly (my wife might beg to differ) since becoming a dad. I am always conscious of the fact that I have a little word repeater in the back seat.
But I couldn't contain myself on the way back from a "boys only" trip, with the Pok, to Ikea. [side note: this would appear to be our second favourite destination for "boys only" trips, the first being Bunnings Warehouse Hardware Store].
Travelling in the car at 60 kph, I had to slam on the brakes to let in a young driver who was too impatient to wait for the acres of space available behind my car.
I let rip within the noise cocoon of my own vehicle, "You stupid Muppet!" Satisfied with myself at the verbally issued tirade.
Within a second "The Pok" gave his version of cussing to the driver, "You silly Prawn Head!"
I double taked, as this was the first time I had heard him have a crack while driving.
"[Pok], what did you say?"
He responded just as eagerly, "I called her a silly Prawn Head, because they are just silly."
I burst out laughing at what he thought was a demeaning turn of words, which bemused him as to why I turned from road rage to laughter at his outburst.
Some day, when he is much older, I will teach him insults that are not comedic.
I have been long overdue for a blood donation at the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. I was booked in for a donation this morning for a blood plasma, when I was asked if I could donate platelets instead. Apparently I have a high platelet count (for no other reason than I have), and some poor soul does not. He or She is in desperate need on a daily basis of platelet transfusions until they can find a suitable bone marrow donor – not an easy job. So my Friday Fone Foto is a simple one, a new blood sucking machine that I have become acquainted with. :-)
I don't like pushing my causes on others, but if you can donate then why not? The needle only tickles, the staff are always awesome, and plus they give you a free milkshake after your donation!
We were fortunate to have spent the weekend just past up in the New South Wales Hunter Valley – wine country! Of course with a drive of just over two hours it provided me the opportunity to pack my road bike steed on the roof and plan for a ride. I had never ridden up in the wine country before, but have driven through the valley on many occasions. What I recall is the poor quality of the roads up there in certain sections, and many of the smaller vineyards being access via unsealed roads. So to be honest, I was a bit nervous riding up there – particularly with the speed differential between me as a cyclist and the cars travelling at 80kph (50mph). And being wine country, I had noticed that many car drivers are a bit
tipsy wobbly behind the wheel. I planned two morning rides on the Saturday and the Sunday, but this trip is the only one where I prioritise the vine before the bike and I only managed to squeeze in a Saturday morning ride (I know that this breaks Rule #11 – I will pay penance at Velofix later this week).
I set off at 6:30 on Saturday morning, and what a glorious start to the day it was. The sun rising over the hills gradually illuminating the vineyards from long shadows. The air was fresh, wine country is farming country. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza, which provided me good access to high quality tarmac to roll on from the get go. The first part of my ride was up North through Lovedale.
The vineyards on some of the properties are quite close to the roads, and you get a real sense of what you are riding through. It kind of makes you thirsty…
The other non-wine farms are just as picturesque. This view of the rising sun through the eucalyptus trees created stunning shadows for many metres along the northern stretch of my route.
I was disappointed that there were no grapes on the vines, but it was the wrong time of the harvest season. Still, the weather has been pretty good, the vines looked healthy, so hopefully it will be a bumper year.
It was not flat on this ride, and as soon as you get off the main roads it becomes quite bumpy and gravelly. There was also a fair amount of roadwork going on that is not due to be completed until next year some time. For the stretches that were complete, the road was smooth as glass – the sort of road that cyclists dream about on a perfect ride. But it was far too bumpy for my liking through Pokolbin on 23mm tyres. It was so bumpy that as I headed back through the Eastern section of Pokolbin, the rattling shook my light completely out of its socket at 45kph. I had to slam on the brakes and backtrack to see if I could find where it had bounced off to. Fortunately it was still working and easily found, albeit with a few battle scars inflicted by some harsh gravel. While there I decided to ride up to Hope Estate winery, where I got married. It was surreal being in the saddle riding up the long driveway, knowing that my wife and two children were sleeping back at the hotel. Since we were married back in 2008 the property has changed significantly, not to mention the paving of the driveway.
As I was heading back, the wind was beginning to pick up quite strongly. Later that afternoon as we were driving from cellar door to door I noticed the wind was properly buffeting everything. By the time I headed back the morning had well and truly arrived, with the South Eastern part of the valley in full morning glow. Quite a sight.
I will definitely ride up here again, but now better prepared. Here are my tips for riding up in the Hunter Valley:
- Recon your route in the car properly (via a few cellar door tastings if you can). The conditions of many stretches of road were not what I remembered them to be. And for whatever reason, many of the roads are not very well maintained.
- Go early – the valley is practically asleep before 8am and the roads are only being traveled by sober drivers who are trying to go about their business. For this ride I only passed one other cyclists and perhaps was passed by 30 cars in total.
- Swap out your rubber to some wider and harder wearing tyres (28mm if you can). It was like riding pave or cyclocross in some sections. Which leads me to my next point…
- Consider riding a cyclocross or flat bar hybrid / mountain bike. While the road bike was good for riding on the good roads, there are many unsealed roads that are more akin to riding the Strade Bianche.
- If drinking copious amounts of wine the day/night before then hydrate up. I was parched before I had even started riding.
- Be prepared for the elements. It is windy and exposed through the valley, and the sun is quite strong.
- Enjoy the view! There is no point racing through this area, it is picturesque and beautiful. I made sure to take it in while in the saddle and I definitely noticed many different things riding than I have ever done behind the wheel of a car.
- Be self sufficient for the ride, nothing is open in the early morning. It would appear that the valley does not kick in until 10am, so sourcing any refills would have been a no go.
- Watch the speed difference between you and the cars. While most of the roads I rode on were marked at 80kph, I would not have been surprised many were travelling faster.
- Make sure you ride up there! I was contemplating leaving the bike behind, but it was a beautiful ride up there in the wine country.
Last weekend's big ride really cooked me. I mean really cooked! My quads haven't felt that sore in a long time. I know the reasons why; not enough tempo rides (slower 60-80km spins), dehydration, and wearing cold weather gear on what turned out to be a warm day. Oh, and some pretty steep inclines too.
So when I rocked up to Wednesday morning's training session it was no surprise that I hit the wall. What I meant to write was "blow up". I hadn't recovered properly before trying to knock out a sprint interval session. The blow up was… humbling (or was that humiliating?). As a result, my head was not in the right place. Throw into the mix my baby girl thinking that she lives in the Fijian or Tahitian time zone rather than on Australian Eastern Standard Time – I must be missing a few REM cycles too.
So that left me with a choice for this morning's training session.
Show up or pike out?
I was trying hard to build my excuse list, heaven knows I had reasons. When the alarm clock went off at 5am, the question that entered my head was, "why are you doing this to yourself?" It is the same question that pops up when I hit struggle street on a tough ride. It is a question from the wrong space in my head. The negative space. [side note – cravings for dark chocolate cookies, Carribean rum and Coke (multiple), and two quarter pounders live in this space too]. So what is the answer to that question? I have a prepared response for this challenge which is another question, "When I am old and frail, do I want to look back on all the opportunities that I missed to live to the fullest?" That second question was formed when I was 20 years younger, lying on a hospital bed recovering from a knee reconstruction. That whole experience was a collection of harsh lessons, with one hard reality – to not take for granted my mobility and feel blessed that I have it, while I have it.
I made my choice. I showed up. It was a struggle, but I showed up. I set my power targets at 80% to what I normally train at, but I showed up. And as I warmed up my lithium batteries kicked in. I was still tired but I managed to churn through the session and in the end I spun at over 90% of my normal power targets. After the training session I suited up and arrived at work chuffed. I have won this morning, maybe not the Tour de France or the World Championships, but I won.
In the end there is no excuse or choice, it is show up – even if it hurts.
Our boy, AKA 'The Pok', has started to say some really funny things with the reasoning of a 4-year-old behind his musings. Some of it is hilarious, or just bizarre.
'The Pok' loves coming with me to Bunnings (Warehouse) hardware store. It is always a man adventure, and he is always discovering new things in store. However, the most important purchase at Bunnings is always a sausage sandwich from whichever local group is fundraising. It is always two sandwiches, one for me and one for him – and we never share!
So after I quickly wolfed my sausage sandwich down the chute, he continued working through slowly savouring his while constantly smearing tomato sauce and mustard all over his face.
I was in a hurry and had to exchange an item, so we queued up while he continued to eat.
Two attractive young women walked in, obviously friends, and the one in front caught a glimpse of 'The Pok' as. She started cooing at him, and then turned to her friend and said "Look at that little boy, he's so cute."
I don't know how to react to strangers doing that. Guys never do it, but some women of all different ages feel the need to make a comment about someone else's child. So I kindly smiled, and of course 'The Pok' kept on eating his sandwich ignoring the two young women. Side note – I keep on telling my brother that he can borrow his nephew for a day of "shopping" and we will get a shirt or cap made up that says "I'm his uncle". – End side note.
The girls joined the queue directly behind me, and the one who made the comment then decided it would be a nice gesture to engage with my boy. She bowed down to his level and said, "Hello little guy, are you enjoying your sandwich".
'The Pok' locked eyes on her and loudly…
Shocked, she recoiled back and awkwardly said to her friend, "I guess that wasn't a good idea."
I didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed by my boy's response. I apologised to the young woman on behalf of both us, "He is not normally like that." My son finished off his sandwich.
An important lesson was displayed here. Never get in the way of a man (little or otherwise) and his food, particularly if it involves meat.
It's a public holiday long weekend in Sydney, so my riding buddy AC made the call – time to go for a ride 120km of epicness. Sounded good to me. The proposed route would be to head south of Sydney, through 'The Shire' and into the Royal National Park (RNP). With the return leg via some out of the way roads following one of the train lines. Here is the route, and the profile (yes a bit of uphill ouch in this ride):
Now Sydney is not known for being friendly for cyclists, us riders wish it was, but it is not. If you want that, then go relocate to Melbourne or Adelaide. So for this ride we set off at 4am, not to get a clean run down to the park, but to avoid the dreaded Sydney traffic on a Saturday on the return. Yes, 4am is when sparrows are farting before they wake up, but hey. This was a tough ride, but also one of the strangest that I have done in a long time.
Firstly I made the mistake of dressing for the cool pre-dawn conditions, and not the warm morning temperature. I got cooked, and received multiple visits late in the ride from the dudes who live in cramp city. Those dudes are buggers, and I am sure they are mates with the 'Man with the Hammer'.
Secondly after about 30 clicks into our journey, just past 5am, we came up to this rather large guy in khaki shorts riding a flat bar hybrid bike with pannier racks. Our pace was much quicker than his, but as we were coming to overtake him, he looked at us and then buried himself just so we couldn't overtake him. It was hilarious. He even ran a couple of red lights to get ahead. We were toying with him like a lion does with a mouse, after all we had nothing to prove and had another 90 clicks to go. But as we neared the road that would take us to the RNP we dropped the hammer and dropped him.
Thirdly we had fun(?) on some stupid gradients as we climbed out of the first of several valleys we would be hitting for the day. Only to be buzzed and yelled at by a couple of kids on their learner plates who probably don't even shave. That would have been around 6:45am – seriously boys, don't be idiots and get a life.
The final bit of weirdness though was in the final stretches of the ride, with our end in sight. I was cooked and AC rode ahead through a roundabout turning right. I was a good 200m behind him at least, struggling with those cramp city dudes. As I came to the roundabout I signaled with my arm that I would be turning right. I had right of way and the oncoming traffic by law would have to yield, particularly as I was already in the roundabout turning. Rapidly advancing towards me was an Mercedes AMG C63, a car I wish I could afford to drive. But instead of giving way, the Merc sped up and flew into the roundabout cutting me off and forcing me to slam on the brakes and hold the back end of my bike from flying out. The driver didn't even indicate his change of direction. This is not the first time this has happened and probably won't be the last, but…
This NEVER happens on a bike ride
The Merc driver took off with me waving my hand at him for the danger he had put me in. Then another large sedan, a Holden (GM) Commodore, came flying past me from behind with its engine revving. This was strange indeed. The Holden flew up behind the Mercedes, almost bumping him. Then a set of red and blue lights in the Holden's rear window started flashing. The siren came on, indicating to the Merc driver to pull over. Sure enough an unmarked police car witnessed the whole incident and the Merc driver was about to cop a fine or two. The real rub for the miscreant driver is that given it is a long weekend in Sydney it is also double demerit points off your license for any traffic infringement. Ouch! This never ever happens, never! I rode past the cop and the miscreant driver, shaking my head at him. AC was waiting for me and he asked what happened. I gave him the low down, and his jaw dropped – "No way!" The miscreant driver ended up catching up with us, and as he drove past he tapped his finger against his head. Lesson learnt perhaps, I hope so because as riders we are very vulnerable to any metal engined machine on four wheels and we always come out second best.
I am not sure whether I should buy a lottery ticket or not, but thanks to the cop for taking my safety into consideration. And thanks to AC for pulling me along on an epic and weird bike ride.

- Good food; disappointing drinksalerDined on 8/16/2014Wanted a casual and affordable, but tasty spot, for dinner and drinks with friends. I'd been here a few years ago, and the reviews were great so decided to try it again. The food and entrees were great, but the croqueta appetizer was tasteless and gluey, and the drinks left much to be desired. They offered a "double" option that let you double the size of your drink for $3 extra. We tried it excited about having giant cocktails for the novelty, but we got watery, lukewarm drinks with too much alcohol. Instead of doubling the full recipe like promised, they just added no ice & tons of rum because they "ran out of larger glasses." It was gross and beyond disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I would come back to try out the rest of the tapas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Lamictal Bipolar Mania So far - after over a year of useage - I have found Lamictal to be the most effective drug for controling the swings of bipolar disorder. It works well as a mood stabilizer.
I am always on the manic side of the bipolar scale.
Although my dosage needs to be changed occasionally, it appears that the change is affective rather quickly.

October 2014
Unfortunately I never got to this excursion due to loss of passport etc and had to go to the consulate on day of booking.
I wanted to say how amazing Viator are though. Very professional and helpful. I will certainly be using them again on my next trip. Their website is very informative and gives complete information. Prices are very affordable and there are so many options to choose from. I recommend them with total confidence.
September 2014
This is definitely worth doing one day if you are seeking for a beauty therapy/relaxation day and wanting a break from museums. The spa building is 3 storeys high, with the spa treatment or 'therapy room' located at the bottom floor containing several spas and sauna rooms. The second floor is where the all day food buffet is located, with a delicious aperitivo presented at 6pm. the third floor is where you can have a massage. It was a great place that you can either spend an afternoon or whole day at. One thing I must point out though, the directions you are given need to be more detailed! This is mainly for those who use the public transport while travelling in Milan. this is not the easiest place to find, as it is not situated on a building lot, and is completely covered in bushes and a big tall fence with no signage allowing you to see what exactly it is. perhaps look at the exterior online so you know what it looks like when you arrive!

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs make a young fan's wish come true
All 6-year-old Kyle Byrd wanted was to be a "real" Arizona Diamondback.
The youngster, who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, plays in the Miracle League, an organization that helps children with debilitating diseases play the game they love.
The Diamondbacks went a little further.
As part of the "My Wish" series on ESPN, young Kyle not only got a visit from Adam Eaton and Willie Bloomquist at one of his Miracle League games, he got to spend the day as a real member of the team -- complete with his own locker in the Chase Field clubhouse.
It's been a tough season on the field for the D-backs, but the first-class organization continues to do nearly everything right in the community. Well done, D-backs.
And congratulations to you too, Kyle.

Nurses Win Trust, Leadership Next?
Nurses are the most trusted professionals in the nation and once again top a list they have dominated for 11 years. Since 1999, the only time nurses have been ousted from the top spot of Gallup's annual survey was in 2001, when firefighters were ranked highest following their heroism on Sept. 11.
Not surprisingly, car salespeople, lobbyists, and Congress rank at the bottom of the pile.
Eighty-one percent of Americans say nurses have high or very high honesty and ethical standards. This is much higher than those for the next most trusted professionals, military officers and pharmacists. Physicians are number five on the list.
It's no surprise to anyone in the profession that the general public trusts nurses. When people are hospitalized, nurses are the ones who provide hands-on care, performing intimate and important medical tasks and helping patients return to health. They are patient advocates who often explain complex treatment regimens that help patients understand their care.
So what can nurses do with their status as most-trusted professionals? A different Gallup poll from almost a year ago found that opinion leaders from across the country believe nurses should have greater influence in many healthcare areas—from reducing medical errors to improving efficiency and reducing costs—but that significant barriers continue to block them from fully achieving those goals.
In this older study, the opinion leaders said nurses are not able to exert greater influence and leadership because they are not perceived as important decision makers or revenue generators, compared with physicians, and that nurses do not have a single unified voice with which they speak about national issues.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Stefani Daniels (12/7/2010 at 4:36 PM)
Not only is there a lack of a unified voice, there is no one individual who has taken the initiative to step forward and grab the mike!! There are several well published and highly visible pundits from medicine, but there is not one RN among them. When the ANA moved from being a professional organization to being a union, it diminished in its capacity to represent nurses. And while there was always tension between NLN educators and AONE leaders, it will probably intensify since the IOM has called for baccalaureate education for entry level nurses. Nothing has changed in my 40 years in nursing. Same church; different pew.

After a few cheaper hostels, we´ve absolutely enjoyed staying at the CHERN Hostel in Bangkok.
Warm, clean water/ washing machines/ real friendly staff and a comfortable room.
I especially liked the modern and pure design of the interior and the free access to the internet by the computer at the 2. floor. - Barbara
The location is excellent. Good clean and modern rooms. The beds are very comfortable with crisp clean linens.
The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to help in any way they can. Great accommodation for the price. - Anonymous
Was blown away by the hostel's design and setup. I originally was going to stay for 3 nights and did 4 instead. There was a huge common area with 7 or 8 computer to use, a free pool table, tons of places to sit and chat, and a little cafe that serves beers 24/7. The building is super close to the skytrain, which is incredibly convienet for bangkok. It's got 7 floors and tons of rooms, I heard they can take up to 250 guest, which is crazy. I stayed in. A 6 bed dorm, all beds had two plugs to use - Anonymous
It was modern and had lots of concrete and a cool old-school elevator. It felt castle like. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. I would stay there again. - Anonymous
I was stay there for 1 night, room was very clean and staff very freindly and helpful , i love the location it's 8mins by walk to nana staion and near to shopping area and bar street but also not so noisy druing ur stay as hotel is located at very quite place. anyway love it ! next time i will stay there again - Serena
This is my favorite hostel, I lived in a 4 beds female dormitary, though shared bathroom, it still very lovely, clean, thoughtful, and most important, perfect location, like 5 minutes walking to MBK and Siam centre. If I travel alone next time in Bangkok, I will definitely come back here. - Anonymous
Clean and nice budget hotel right next to the train station. I would stay here again if I where taking the train the next day, only a 5 min walk to the station (you can walk underground in the metro tunnel instead of crossing the busy road). It is also right in front of the metro stop so very convenient. It is about 1km from the river where you can take the River Express boat to the Buddha temples etc and Khao San Rd. We did that. Very nice experience with the boat. Rooms are basic but clean. G - Anonymous

I worked at TwinLab
TwinLab is a great place to work if you enjoy having a job that doesn't change and where you know what you are expected to do. You can do your work with a high degree of autonomy in a laid back environment.
Unfortunately, there is very little room for career growth within the company. While the company is quite large, there isn't a lot of position shuffling going on. As a result, opportunities for advancement are rare.
While management is friendly and easy going, they would do well to focus on developing career paths for employees within the company. It seems like a lot of people use the company as a spring board to get to better positions with other companies. The company loses a lot of talent as a result.

We have really great management. The CEO has really turned things in a positive direction and is very down to earth and open with communication. The company is returning to a strong standing in the marketplace. Salaries are comparable to industry standards. Work life balance is good and time off for me has never been a problem. It really depends on the department you are in, we have a large company. It would be harder to work in the manufacturing area I work in the office. However there are lots of promotions within and chances to move up.Cons
For a long time really behind on vendor payments but that is changing with the employee buy out. Need a larger customer service department.Advice to ManagementAdvice
