24/09/2003The pressures of a foreign assignment
The sense of upheaval caused by a foreign assignment and the shift to another country can result in special problems and pressures for spouses and partners.
|About 70 percent of expatriates are accompanied by a spouse
In any foreign positing, it's often the spouse or partner who bears the brunt of the shift. They are the ones who have to oversee and take charge of the details of the move. In many cases, they are the ones who have to arrange the moving company, decide what to take, organise for the house or apartment to be rented out, find out about schools, explain it all to the kids, cancel all the utilities, line things up with the bank and possibly even work out what to do with the dog or cat.
It's often the same at the other end where a large part of organising the process of settling in seems to fall on the shoulders of the spouse or partner. This can even come down to working out the local currency. And then when everything seems to working OK, it's then up to the trailing spouse or partner to find a little space for themselves and for their interests as well as venturing out into the world to make more social contact.
This can mean even trying to plot a course to finding a job. According to research compiled by Fawco and Cigna International Expatriate Benefits, about 70 percent of expatriates are accompanied by a spouse with only 11 percent of spouses saying that companies provided support for spouses.
"The number one cited cause for early termination of a foreign posting is the family's inability to adjust to the local culture," says Expatica columnist Hilly van Swol-Ulbrich. "Although well researched and publicised (cultural problems) has remained the most disregarded factor," says van Swol-Ulbrich.
"In my ongoing surveys, spouses shared their views, voiced experiences and expressed their needs." It also means, van Swol-Ulbrich said, that the lack of support for spouses and partners during foreign assignments is a crucial issue.
"More should be done by way of explanation of what to expect on an assignment," said one British spouse living in Germany. On arrival and during the setting up stage, networking appears to take on considerable importance for spouses and partners as it provides a key source of support and information.
"Contact with other expats proved to be a most valuable source of information," said an Australian spouse. Exactly who is a spouse or partner and for that matter, what constitutes a family unit, has changed dramatically in recent years with far wider acceptance of gay relationships by both governments and companies along with the growing number of cases where it is the woman in the relationship that lands the foreign posting and the male follows her. This also appears to have led to a change in the educational background of many spouses or partners and their hopes for a job during their days as an expat.
The need for language skills can only complicate the whole process of settling in, finding cultural bearings and maybe even landing a job. In addition, it has possibly helped to contribute to the frustrations and pressures that sometimes emerge during foreign postings, especially as work restrictions for foreigners in many nations have increased in recent years. Indeed, the Fawco and Cigna research shows that 78 percent of spouses and partners hold higher educational qualifications with 72 percent of them having worked prior to the overseas assignment.
Moreover, the research showed that 64 percent of spouses and partners are aged between 30 and 49. But despite the changes that have taken place in who is now a spouse or partner, the statistics also show that the overwhelming majority are women. To be sure, some 85 percent of spouses are women with those on foreign postings having children aged between 5 and 12. This does raise very common problems for a large number of expat families.
"Stress is often a steady companion, as living in another culture, facing the challenge of a foreign language and struggling with dual career issues leaves us without our networks and successful coping skills," says van Swol-Ulbrich. "Juggling these different roles and learning to cope with a new cultural environment requires specific knowledge and coping skills." Van Swol-Ulbrich said that her workshop, set down for 15 October, will focus on gaining a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges connected in raising a family overseas, how international mobility impacts on family members, and how cultural differences permeate our everyday life.
This will include examining how culture has an influence on our daily life as well as recognising the signals of culture shock and facing up to the problems encountered by children in making the move around the world.
"Naturally the sharing of resources and coping strategies will round off this interactive workshop which encourages the participants to network and share their experiences," she says.

Law has little meaning when it is not widely understood. Concepts like "conflict of interest" or "integrity" are used repeatedly in theories and explanations of law, but they are not self-explanatory. Perhaps nowhere is this more the case than in Timor-Leste, where rule of law is in the early stages of institutionalization and not well-understood by most citizens.

The "resource curse" in development is well known.

SOBEWFF: The Top Ten Unforgettable Moments From the Festival
The South Beach Wine & Food Festival is over for another year, and celebrity chefs from the Northeast are flying home for another Polar Vortex even as the giant party tents are being broken down. All that's left of the weekend is a slight hangover, a few goodie bags, and memories.
Courtesy of Key Group Worldwide Can you name all the celebrity chefs?
Here are our top ten unforgettable moments from this year's SoBe Fest. Have others? Share them with us!
10. Anne Burrell Is Hot for Virgins
Courtesy of Key Group Worldwide
When Anne Burrell took center stage for her cooking demo at the Grand Tasting Village, she acknowledged her love for virgins -- as in olive oil. While some debate the smoke point of various grades of oil and taste differences, Burrell's preference is cut and dried -- extra-virgin all the way: "There's no little bit virgin. You're either virgin or you're not." That's exactly what our our sex ed teacher was trying to tell us 15 years ago.
9. Michael Symon Wins Burger Bash Again
Courtesy of Edelman Michael Symon and the big payoff.
Michael Symon is truly the darling of carnivores everywhere. After holding his own against some two dozen Sports Illustrated swimsuit models at The Q Thursday evening, Symon competed at Burger Bash. The chef and Chew cohost got back to basics, serving his Fat Doug Burger -- a beef patty with pastrami, Havarti cheese, coleslaw, and mustard -- in an attempt to reclaim his title as ground beef champion. That was, by the way, the burger that won Symon his first Burger Bash title.
The move paid off when Symon was declared the winner of the Amstel Light People's Choice Award for a fourth time. Symon takes home a big check and the knowledge that burger redemption is alive and well in Miami Beach.

Fire destroys mobile home
CORPUS CHRISTI - Fire destroyed a mobile home and pickup Tuesday in Seascape Mobile Home Park in the 6300 block of Old Brownsville Road.
Fire officials said the 44-year-old man living in the home credited a smoke alarm for saving his life, waking him from a nap in time to escape. The man's dog also escaped uninjured, neighbors said.
Corpus Corpus Fire Department got the call at 3:30 p.m. and arrived to find the mobile home engulfed in fire, said Battalion Chief J.D. Johnson.
Firefighters got the blaze under control in 20 minutes. The cause is under investigation, Johnson said.
The American Red Cross was called to assist the man with food, shelter and clothing.

how would I loop this?
I have a PHP file that contains HTML and PHP code. I would like to separate the business logic and presentation logic using PHP savant template engine.
Okay, so in the PHP file i have echoed a variable ($thumbnail_image) by using print_r($thumbnail_image);
It prints out
If it helps any, my PHP file looks something like this: (I took some parts of the whole file out)
PHP Code:
$result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM oekakidta {$sql_where} {$sql_limit}");
$rownum = mysql_num_rows ($result);
for ($current_post = 0; $current_post < $rownum; $current_post++) {
$outerrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$row[] = $outerrow;
$tpl->assign('row', $row); // Assign the sql results to the template
// Master image calculation code goes here
$thumbnail_image = $master_image;
$tpl->assign('thumbnail_image', $thumbnail_image); // Assign $thumbnail_image to the template

 <?php foreach ($this->row as $outerrow): ?>  <img src="<?php echo $this->thumbnail_image ?>" alt="Pic #<?php echo $outerrow['PIC_ID'] ?>" title="Pic #<?php echo $outerrow['PIC_ID'] ?>" />

Spain 1/2, 1, 2, 4, and 8 Reales 1700 to 1771
That's a great old coin from Spain, Paige. Look at the picture of this wonderful example from Civitas Galleries in Middleton, WI. The Civitas coin is in such good condition, without much wear and no scratches, stains, cleanings, marks, and the like, it is on sale for a little more than $300 US dollars. This is a good price for such a nice piece.
Coin: 7681 , Genre: Colonizers and Colonies

I ran out of mascara and purchased this product on impulse not having done some research in advance and boy do I hate it, yes it lengthens, yes it thickens but by no means does it last, however the panda eye smudge effect does ironically seem to last, there are better, cheaper mascaras out there and I will never purchase another Lancome mascara because of this disappointing baby, now excuse me while I furiously go searching reviews for a new mascara.. oh before this appalling purchase I was using the ByTerry mascara that I really loved and would highly rate.. the price tag is a bit ott however..

I received this product as a sample as well as 6 others and at first I was a big fan of the Hypnose Doll Lashes but after a while it made my lashes limp and boring. The mascara does not hold a curl and after not even 20 minutes it made my eyelashes limp and dull. The brush looks nice but doesn't work for me. I will not be buying the full size.

I received this as a sample at Sephora. This was my favorite mascara at first, but after just a week in a half it stopped working for me. I love how it covers all of my lashes perfectly and the brush is amazing as well, but now when I use it my lashes look great at first, but by the time I'm at the door they are limp and look dry. I have made other samples last much longer, so I don't feel that is the reason. When I first received this and fell in love I searched on Sephora web site to purchase it, but the price is outrageous. It should work a bit better for that pricing. I'll stick with Dior Show. It's consistent and costs me less.

I picked this up at my Post Exchange at 22.50 USD. I have had my eye on it for awhile and finally give in and I'm glad I did.
It comes in a really pretty, classy black tube with like a floral and ivory pattern and has the name on the cap.
The wand is a cone shape with the smallest part at the end of the wand making it easy to get into the inner corner of your eyes while the larger end of the brush fans out and separates the lashes on the outer corner.
The formula is a tad drier than your average mascara but I tend to like drier mascaras versus wet ones. This mascara is virtually not able to clump on my lashes no matter how many coats I put on.
I have fairly oily skin and eyelids and this mascara doesn't flake or smudge on me throughout the day. I'm also a contact lens wearer and this doesn't irritate my eyes either.
With a combination of the cone brush and the clump free, drier formula I feel like this mascara really does give me big, doll-like lashes. I love it and will definitely repurchase it when it runs out.
*Update: after finishing my tube, I have decided to explore other options. I did like this mascara but I also like to try new things constantly. I might repurchase but I might not with all the new things on the market all the time*

The brush is awkward. The formula weighs my lashes down and flakes as the day wears on. Terrible. I'm glad I had a sample size because there is no way I would buy this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Got it in some kind of gift box, and was looking forward to try it. Unfortunately, it did disappoint me. It's just.... not good, and besides that, it's expensive too. I wouldn't buy this. However - the packaging is pretty haha
More reviews by lovesmakeup525
Got it as a sample, wasn't too impressed.
Kind of clumpy, heavy, and greasy. Added a fair amount of drama but gave a lot of clumps and it also seemed to weigh down my lashes. Additionally, the bottom mascara seemed to smear.
I've used much better formulas for cheaper.
If someone were to ask me what company consistently makes the best mascaras on the U.S. market, my answer would almost certainly be Lancome. Having tried this mascara, though, I might think twice about that answer, because this is frankly one of the worst mascaras I have ever tried. CoverGirl Lash Blast has it beat by a mile (or two), along with several other mascaras at various price points, including Lancome's other offerings. I am not so sure just what made this mascara so clumpy from the very first day I opened the tube to the day I threw it away in frustration, but the clump factor made it a true nightmare to deal with...and it wasn't helped by the shape of the brush, which I would describe as a little pine tree (Lancome says it's "cone-shaped"). The brush just doesn't worth well with this overly thick mascara formula, leading to clumps galore. In its defense, I can say that this mascara does not run or flake, and it's a nice dark black. That's where the compliments end.
Overall this is a pretty good mascara. It does what its supposed to - it adds volume, lengthens and curls my lashes to achieve a 'doll-like' appearance. However, I think for the price of the product I was expecting it to have the wow factor, and it doesn't. Although it is a good mascara, I think there are others out there for a fraction of the price which can be used to achieve the same look. For that reason, I would not repurchase this mascara.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was looking for a formula that would dramatize lashes and not flake, this was not it. This totally flaked all over my face, i have to look in the mirror every hour to brush them off. It is a really dry formula, making my lashes brittle. My lashes didn't look that dramatized either. Oh, and it clumps!!! For mascara that cost almost thirty bucks...garbage!

Who We are and What We Do
The Schryl Carden Breast Cancer fund was established to help families in dire need who have been affected by this sometimes terminal disease. Each year we adopt a family from a local cancer center who is in desperate need of our services. We take time to meet with the family and find out what their needs, wants and desires are. Then our Silent Angels somehow make that happen. We have helped families in the past that couldn't pay their mortgage, or families that didn't know if they would have power for Christmas. We have walked into homes and taken gifts to children that didn't have any presents under the tree. This is such an amazing opportunity to help a local family that is affected by breast cancer.

Brick Lane
Posted: Wed Jun 23 2010
This deliciously flirty little DJ and cocktail bar is an oasis of civilised transgression just down from the pseudo-festival vibe of the Brick Lane Bar hub.
Located beside a revolving red light advertising the presence of a taxi office, Exit comprises a narrow corridor of intimate chat, a bar counter and DJ decks at the back. Retro orange lamps, tea lights, dark banquettes and a wallpaper covered in oriental scenes help to provide a louche ambience.
Some 30 cocktails (£6-£7) suit a clientele who value fun above all else. Beers are bottled (Asahi, San Miguel, Corona); wines clock in at around £15 a bottle.

Hmmm ... it's beginning to seem like it really makes precious little difference whether or not the the 'holy spirit' actually exists.
What is it about implantation that makes it serve as a significant moment? The Mayo Clinic reports that at least 15-20% of all pregnancies naturally end in spontaneous abortion. Most of these miscarriages occur before the end of the first trimester, but many will occur after implantation. So, implantation doesn't seem like a good marker of viability.
Perhaps it is the kind of development of the blastocyst that begins on the ninth day after the fertilization of an egg that you find important?
Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved. ~ Mark Twain

Knoxville (WVLT) - Knoxville Police say their looking for two suspects after a neighborhood brawl that ended with one victim being stabbed multiple times early Tuesday morning.
KPD says just after midnight, two hispanic men approached Joseph Andres, 13 at 2203 Schofield Street. A fight broke out, apparently in retaliation for an earlier fight. Andres was stabbed repeatedly.
That victim, whose name is not being released, was taken to U.T. Hospital with unspecified injuries.
The first suspect is identified as Alex Alejandro, about 20-years-old, 5' 6", 110 pounds with short black hair.
The second suspect is also about 20, 6" tall, about 300 pounds with black hair.
If you have information about the whereabouts of these individuals, call the KPD tip line at 215-7212.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble have abandoned their opposition to combining the two euro-area rescue funds, Der Spiegel reported, citing unnamed government officials.
The two German leaders have agreed that the permanent and temporary rescue funds may be "held in operation" for a transitional period, the magazine said in an e-mailed preview of its article. Two variations are in discussion, Spiegel said.
One possibility would add some 200 billion euros ($265.3 billion) in temporary European Financial Stability Facility funding already promised to Greece, Portugal and Ireland to the 500 billion euros planned under the permanent European Stability Mechanism, the magazine said. The second option would allow the funds to run parallel at a full combined capacity of 940 billion euros.

"Working at Hill Holliday was an eye-opening experience that exposed me to all the different facets of communication -- from creative advertising, to Internet marketing, to media buying and brand strategy. It was a valuable education," Fehrnstrom wrote in an email to TheStreet.
Connors said Fehrnstrom did great work at Hill Holliday and was disappointed when he eventually left the agency to work for then-gubernatorial candidate Romney in 2002.
Connors is an active Obama fundraiser: Records gathered by The Daily Beast show that he and wife Eileen have bundled between $50,000 and $100,000 for the president's 2012 run, and between $100,000 and $200,000 for the 2008 race.
Fehrnstrom's fiercely loyal personality showed similar commitment to Connors in his fundraising for the Democratic Party. In fact, Federal Election Commission records show that the former ad agency spokesman made two $500 donations in 2001 for Kerry's 2002 Senatorial campaign.FEC records show $500 donated to the Kerry Committee on June 30, 2001. An identical contribution was sent to the Kerry campaign on Dec. 5, 2001. The FEC filing lists Fehrnstrom's employer as "Hill Holliday" under his second contribution. During Connors tenure as CEO, Hill Holliday jointly held accounts for advertising and for politics. Connors and Kerry are long-time friends. At the time Fehrnstrom made his contributions to Kerry's campaign, the former ad agency head was probably having a fundraiser for the senator and asked some of his staff to show support through a contribution, Connors recalled. A Romney campaign official said on background that the Hill Holliday CEO asked Fehrnstrom to write the check, and that he wants a refund. "Did I force him or anyone else to write a check? Never. If somebody ever said 'no' to me, I never held it against them," said Connors. "I never forced anybody to write a check, I'm very comfortable with that." Other Democratic operatives have expressed respect for Romney's trusted adviser beyond the $1,000 he gave to the party. "While Jack Connors is a well-known Democrat, they knew how to take care of their accounts ... and he was good to Eric," said Michael Goldman, a Democratic operative in Massachusetts. "Eric is a very talented kid, in fact, I was a little bit surprised when he slid out of there to go to work for Romney, but he always sort of wanted to go back into politics."

Jonah Goldberg: A bit more understanding wouldn't be all bad in 2014
Conservatives have become far too insular, too often rejecting the need to persuade those who don't already agree with them, arguing instead that ever bloodier doses of red meat will grow the coalition. Liberals have become far too content with the myth of their uniqueness and the pretense that they are brave polymath iconoclasts who know what's best for you better than you do.

Vida, which will serve Pan-American cuisine (vaguely from this hemisphere, Florida, and southward), looks as though it could open tomorrow. Banquettes are in place, along with another gorgeous exhibition kitchen, large hearth ovens, and a rustic rotisserie. Foods from the South of France will be featured at La Côte, modeled after sexy La Palmier in Saint-Tropez. Guests will also be able to enjoy tapas-style snacks at the bar. La Côte is located poolside, and we peer at what will presumably be an outdoor patio soon.
A long, sleek contemporary sushi bar has been installed at Blade, and it is clear this space, which also opens out onto the pool area, is going to be dazzling. O'Connell promises "a purist style of sashimi, nigiri sushi, and omakase. We won't be doing cut rolls and all those American-style rolls." Moving on, we come to the bakery and coffee shop, Solo, and try to visualize it overflowing with Old World breads, "artisan cakes, and a chocolate artist who will be pouring his wares."
The real eye opener of this culinary pilgrimage occurs when we arrive at the enormous pastry kitchens that will supply baked goods. The ovens and equipment, all in place, are so up-to-the-minute that there are units I haven't even seen in industry magazines.
None of the Fontainebleau's incoming restaurants is creating more buzz than the stateside debut of Hakkasan — the only Michelin-rated Chinese restaurant in the United Kingdom. Chef Alan Yau will dish what O'Connell describes as "a modern approach to Cantonese cuisine, with a little Korean and some slight Japanese influences."
Is O'Shields concerned about debuting the project during an economic meltdown? "I think anybody who would say they're not worried is fooling themselves and probably not telling you the truth. You operate smarter, you operate tighter, watch your labor closer, and do the things you have to do to ensure you're running an efficient business."
They're certainly not skimping on the grand opening. A half-century ago, 1,600 people attended the hotel's inaugural ball; the big star was the mayor of Fontainebleau, France. This time around, the premiere will be stripped down — as in a $5 million party highlighted by a Victoria's Secret lingerie show November 15. The hotel will open the following day.

In this week's episode of Life Unexpected, Cate, Baze and Lux head on a road trip to find Cate's missing father, Baze learns how to be a father and Lux decides it's time for them to truly be a family. Meanwhile, Bug is back at the bar trying to repair damage done by some friends from his past.
Welcome to another morning in Portland with Ryan's and Cate's voices streaming through the airwaves. They're discussing the lack of responses on their Evite page to their wedding. Hello, it's an Evite! Since there are only six short days until the nuptials, they had to improvise with invitations, but that doesn't mean it gives Baze a right not to RSVP yet.
Speaking of, Baze is debating whether or not to attend the wedding. He tells Bug that he's been messed up ever since Abby told him that he had feelings for Cate. He argues that he doesn't want to have these feelings because he's already messed up Cate's life, so Bug suggests keeping his distance.
Meanwhile, Cate and Lux dig through the attic at Mama Cassidy's house to find the traditional wedding good luck charms. After making me feel old that Lux didn't know who Kirk Cameron was, she uncovers a stack of letters from Cate's father she didn't know about. Her mother hid the letters because she didn't want to give Cate false hope, and it turns out she lied about why her father left in the first place.
Later, Cate is flustered that she never knew her father and he has no idea she's actually getting married. Lux says it's not too late to have a relationship, so Cate decides she's going to road trip to Tahoe.
Outside of the bar, Bug gets jumped by his old roommate who screams that Bug owes him money. Baze interjects, but tells Bug that those guys can't be coming around the bar anymore. In retaliation, Bug's old roommate trashes Baze's bar, so Lux has to come up with a smooth way of getting Baze out of town. Duh, invite him on the road trip under the guise that it's family time!
The road trip starts off on a bad note. Cate attempts to continue to make wedding plans while in the car, but Baze insists on lame bickering throughout the ride. Lux can tell, though, that Baze really just longs for Cate. Here comes your road trip montage: Cate peeing in bushes, Lux sleeping in the back, Baze pulling off the road for "local cuisine," with tons of pictures along the way.
Eventually the fact that Baze hasn't RSVP'd for the wedding comes up, which ends up as a serious distraction for him as he slams into the back of a chicken truck. They end up having to stay in a bed and breakfast together all in one room while they wait for the car to be fixed. Cate shares a bed with Baze after she learns that Lux is a kicker, and even through the chastity pillow between them, there is still tension coming from Baze. She conveys that she sees Baze differently now, but he feigns sleep to avoid the conversation.
The following morning, Cate and Baze wake up spooning. Baze tries to bail back home, but Lux insists he continue on with them to the end of the trip. They finally come across Cate's father's home and the reunion seems to be welcomed. Cate tries to explain all the details of her life that he's missed out on, and it's pretty much an information overload, but he seems to handle it well. Though when Cate and Lux head to the grocery store, Baze notices Daddy Cassidy goes straight for the liquor.
At dinner, Cate decides to invite her dad to the wedding and he actually agrees, despite a slight moment of awkwardness. Out on the patio, though, Baze tells Lux that she has a bad vibe from Grant saying that he doesn't want to be a father. Despite Lux telling him not to express this to Cate, Baze still plants the idea in her head and it turns into an argument. He screams that he's at least been there for her and has fought to be Lux's dad, while Grant hasn't even really tried. Baze proceeds leave them there, so Lux has to admit that the bar was trashed, meaning she only invited Baze on the road trip to keep him away from the bar, not to bring their relationship closer.
Cate and Lux wait outside of the bed and breakfast for Grant, but he's a no-show. They decide to take a cab back to his place, and Cate learns that he just doesn't want to be a father. "I married your mother because she was pregnant. We had Abby because she thought it might save the marriage, but it didn't," he says. Just heartbreaking. While he does love her, he can't give her what she needs: a father.
"All of this time I've been blaming Baze like he's the only one that left me. I thought he was the one that wrecked me," says Cate. Enter Baze to save the day: He stayed so he could take them home. "I couldn't leave Lux or you," he says as Cate falls into his arms crying.
The trip back to Portland brings a song-fest in the car. Aww, isn't this family cute? Oh wow, they are officially a family after going on a road trip together, even coming back in matching sweaters. There's even a longing in Cate's face as Lux decides to return to the loft with Baze.
A few more family-like moments come out of the close of the episode: In lieu of having her dad walk her down the aisle, Cate decides to ask her mom to give her away at the wedding. Baze and Bug have their semi-father-son moment at the bar as Baze decides not to fire Bug for the incident since he knows they're both trying to change.
Finally, Lux conveys to Baze that he has changed for the better and he's a good father. To top it off, she calls Baze out for having feelings for Cate, but he says he may not want those feelings to go away after having felt that family bond. This is when Lux decides she's finally ready to sign the papers giving Cate and Baze full custody again. And as she says she loves them both, I shed a tear and end this recap.
What did you think of the episode? Absolutely amazing, right? What do you want to see happen in the season finale next week? Should Cate ditch Ryan for Baze? Or will she pull a runaway bride?

Rate-Base Hikes (Again) from Food Network and HGTV in 2014
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Respective Food Network and HGTV magazine founding publishers Vicki Wellington and Dan Fuchs are happy disciples of Yogi Berra's déjà vu all over again. Wellington, who raised FN's rate base twice this year to 1.5 million in Jan. and the upcoming 1.55 million in July/Aug., announced on May 7 her latest "encore" for 2014 with 1.6 million/1.65 million guarantees next Jan. and July/Aug.
Fuchs, who wasted no time at HGTV's June/July 2012 launch in declaring that the 500,000 opening guarantee would rise to 700,000 in Jan. 2013 and 800,000 in July/Aug., is upping the 2014 ante to 1 million (effective in Jan.). He calls it "a testament to our unique home/lifestyle content mix....HGTV's energy and accessibility have immediately resonated with both readers and advertisers."
Both Hearst magazines are extensions of the popular Scripps cable networks. It is a formula that Hearst first implemented in 2000 with Oprah Winfrey and O, and the three have contributed to Hearst Magazines being the industry's best corporate performer in the 21st century.
FN's rise in both circulation and advertising has been outstanding since Wellington launched it with a 450,000 rate base in June 2009. They are among the reasons why she will be among the 2013 inductees into min's Sales Executive Hall of Fame at our June 3 breakfast in New York's Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Sony unveiling its Oculus Rift competitor at GDC 2014
The Oculus Rift had a good showing last GDC and has captured imaginations in the year since as its development progressed. Its inventor has said that consoles are "too weak" for the Rift, dashing any hopes of playing Gran Turismo 6 with the thing.
But Sony's been rumored to be working on their own virtual reality headset. According to a Tech Radar source, it's going to be revealed next month at GDC. "The quality and resolution are really, really good," the source said. "People will definitely be impressed with what Sony's built."
Apparently, "Sony has deliberately taken its time to tweak and polish the headset before revealing it," as opposed to the Rift, which basically debuted as goggles and duct tape. While the Rift is quite cool, Sony is probably in a better position to come up with a mass market VR option, especially riding on the PS4's big sales numbers and general fervor.
I mean, people actually bought 3D TVs. I was talking to someone yesterday who was going to pick up a pair of 3D glasses for his TV.

Take Advantage of Advanced Automation Technologies
New tools help manufacturing automation contribute more to the bottom line
Virtualizing Computer Servers can significantly reduce the number of physical computing machines needed for a manufacturing automation system. Typical reductions in physical computers are six for a traditional installation to two physical virtualized computers giving the same computing power and performance. The computer hardware cost savings in this scenario is 66 percent. Electrical power consumption is also reduced by more than half in this scenario of using virtualized computer hardware.
Traditional methods for recording process parameters, such as Autoclave and SIP temperatures, to meet regulatory compliance relied on paper-based circular or strip chart recorders. Maintenance of these electro-mechanical devices was always a top priority to insure their reliability, accuracy and repeatability. Each chart recorder had multiple points of mechanical failure including the ink dispenser, ink supply and pen driver mechanisms.
Today, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers are eliminating chart recorders and replacing them with historians; software-based data recorders extracting process parameter values on a continuous basis from the PLC, PAC or DCS process controllers. Today's data historians can simultaneously and continuously record tens of thousands of individual process parameter points per second. Most data historians use data compression algorithms to optimize the use of mass storage either locally or in the cloud.
To meet regulatory compliance for data security, unalterable records and audit trail, historians must be validated to the stringent requirements outlined for electronic records in Title 21 CFR Part 11. Successful implementation of process data historians meeting Part 11 requirements begins at the Validation Master Plan for Computer System Validation (CSV). A systematic approach to the software development lifecycle greatly increases the probability of successful implementation of a software-based process data historian meeting regulatory compliance. Requirement specifications must clearly identify the detailed methodologies to implement Part 11. Then the validation protocols (IQ and OQ) must have detailed test scripts, with supporting documentation, verifying that all requirements for Part 11 electronic records are met. The net result is a reliable, robust and secure data historian that usurps the need for traditional chart recorders.
Traditional methods for recording events, such as batch start time and end time or target and actual ingredient quantities, have been paper records; MBRs or Manual Batch Records. MBRs do meet regulatory compliance and are very labor intensive. The MBR's accuracy and completeness rely entirely on the operator. Maintaining paper MBRs becomes critical for traceability of the manufacturing process.
Like the historians described above, manufacturers are moving away from the paper-based MBRs and embracing software-based event archivers and report generators. Similar to the historians, event archivers, or transaction managers, record events germane to the manufacturing process. Typical recorded events include batch start and completion times, manual ingredient additions by the operator, target and actual ingredient fill quantities, operator interventions, and audit trail information. The significant advantage to using software-based transaction managers in lieu of MBRs is the critical event data is automatically captured via the process controllers and HMIs, then stored in a relational database such as Microsoft's SQL. Once the event data is captured, batch and other production reports can be generated.
The event archiver and reports can also be created to be compliant with Part 11 for electronic records. The probability of success of implementing Part 11 compliant reports significantly increases when the integrator/programmer gets involved early in the system development lifecycle with those responsible for meeting regulatory requirements.
Today's requirements for process data, inter-device communications, and secure access to the process controls mandate the need to have the system design team give special attention to the networks; their physical installation and configuration to optimize data throughput and security. A variety of network types and topographies are used in manufacturing automation systems, but a Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) architecture including technologies such as EtherNet/IP and Device-Level Rings are becoming more prevalent for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) networks.
According to Cisco, "Modern, full-duplex, switched Ethernet networks offer real-time performance, including latency, jitter and packet-loss avoidance capabilities that meet or exceed the needs of IACS applications while offering better benefits than the older field-bus networks they replace. In addition, these modern networks have mature and tested technologies to safely secure the network and the systems they interconnect beyond what are available for the older field-bus networks."¹
Critical to the stability of the physical network infrastructure are current and future networking requirements, knowledge of sound installation techniques, using certified network installers, following industry standards and performing cable verification after network installation. Cabling standards to consider are ANSI/TIA-1005 – M.I.C.E. and ANSI/TIA-569-C.0 (cable lengths).
Topics typically addressed during the specification of the network configuration include, and not necessarily limited to, consumer-grade versus commercial or industrial-grade network devices, managed versus unmanaged switches, and the use of VLAN networks.
The use of commercial or industrial-grade network devices is highly recommended. Most consumer grade devices, such as wireless access points and routers, do not have the range, throughput, or security features (RADIUS Authentication) of commercial or industrial grade devices. RADIUS stands for remote authentication dial in user service. Consumer-grade devices typically do not include the ability to implement VLANS or Virtual LAN segregation as do commercial or industrial grade devices.
The use of managed network switches is the preferred choice for many reasons. Managed switches have:
• Web-based interfaces to adjust port settings.
• The ability to set network speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps) and port duplex (half or full).
• Advanced switching technologies, such as Spanning Tree Protocol or IGMP Snooping (IGMP stands for Internet group management protocol).
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) providing path redundancy in the network.
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) built-in to remotely monitor switches on the network.
• Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizing critical traffic (such as video) within managed switches.
• The ability to create virtual local area networks (VLANs) or Virtual Networks. VLANs allow a switch to logically group devices together to isolate traffic between these groups even when the traffic is passing over the same physical switch.
Having the computers and process controllers on the same network affords another service being implemented in many manufacturing automation environments — secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) remote access. VPN access has become an extremely valuable tool for providing quick response by technicians and programmers who are not on-site, but who can connect to the systems when issues arise and resources at the plant are unable to resolve the problems before significant production losses occur. Many manufacturers have avoided losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of adulterated product by having the VPN access tunnel available to qualified and authorized technical personnel who can assist when response time is critical.
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers can improve their operations and efficiencies by effectively utilizing current technologies for process automation. These technologies have already been used in applications and have been validated to meet regulatory compliance. Critical to reaping the benefits of using these newer platforms is to have the system designers, production, maintenance, quality and compliance work closely together from the project's inception to completion so all system requirements, specifications, regulatory requirements and validation documents are cohesive and uniform. Success is achievable for those willing to take advantage of the proven technology platforms available today.
