You could read your line as: Android is delivering performance optimization, where Apple does not.
And, if you ever wrote some code you know "there is nothing to be optimized" is a lie.
so they can hack into anything, but not into their own PC?
Remember that bunch of arrogant idiots working on the desktopsystem GNOME?
Does anyone see the similarity?
"Users are idiots and are unable to use complex things, so lets dumb it down, so every one can use it".
Well see where they ended: Pretty much noone cares about them anymore.
You obviously never used postgresql or you do some major fuckup that the optimizer wont do.
its all you need.
where you cannot loose your authorship rights.
mod parent up!
that there are actually people who STILL play D3.
I expected that noone was p(l)aying that game anymore.
I assume Gimp + Inkscape will get more popular in near future
They are doing the only correct thing: Buying.
If the bubble bursted, apple would be done for.
If they buy back stock, they:
* increase the stockprices again - stabilizing the apple-bubble.
* lowering the risk of a popping bubble.
my servers at home are more stable and reachable that google
Its like the 3rd time in 2 years google fails.
so in the cloud there is no smtp? no imap? no http?
In the cloud you just have MORE potential points of failure: namely all that you have locally and all that run the cloud server, the loadbalancers,
The diffrence is, who gets blamed. But if your boss doesnt see you working while noone in the company gets any work done, dont expect to get a raise too soon.
On the other hand, if you are running all the things in a cloud you most likely dont deserve it anyway.
Its all about political image. Noone outside the US cares about the US anymore. Stocktrading is shifting to Euro or Yen and Yuan. With the random Military strikes and random laws in the last 10 years, the US image is going down the drain.
Noone sees the US as the land of endless possibilities. Now its the country of corporate government.
You might want to change your name to United states of Google,Apple,Oracle,...
So unless you want to even more ruin your image, you may not ever shoot at NK.
Unless of course you want to be seen as the country that is trollbait and fell for the big fat troll.
You sir just made my day

De Luca doubt for Samoa Test
ESPN Staff
June 22, 2012
Nick de Luca will hope to recover from his injury in time to face Samoa © PA Photos
Scotland are facing an anxious wait over the fitness of centre Nick de Luca ahead of their clash with Samoa on Saturday.
Scotland are chasing three wins out of three on their tour of the southern hemisphere when they face Samoa but De Luca is a doubt going into the clash. He failed to finish the last training session and Andy Robinson has conceded that he may not make the cut.
"There is a slight injury concern about him," Robinson said. "He has a slightly strained thigh but we will wait until morning before making a decision. Joe Ansbro will come in if he is not fit."
With De Luca the only injury worry, it means that Al Strokosch and Euan Murray are both expected to start after being doubts for the match earlier in the week. Regardless of De Luca's injury, Robinson was pleased with their final training session and he is looking for his side to finish their tour on a winning note.
"I have seen the leadership really improve on the tour," Robinson said. "There is clarity in the way they are trying to play and a great attitude, which is what you want going into a Test match. I just go Test by Test and I look forward to this one as much as I have looked forward to every one of this year.
"The key for us is to get ourselves into a winning position and then finish the team off. In the World Cup we got into winning positions and did not do that; at the start of the Six Nations, it was the same. This trip we have got ourselves into winning positions and have been able to finish the teams off. We need to do that again."

Chicago was the first city eliminated for hosting the 2016 olympic games.
I think it's hillarious that everybody thought Chicago had it in the bag because Obama and Oprah campaigned for it.
Well one of two (Tokyo being the other). Smart money is on Rio. Never been an Olympics in South America
It is heartening to know that the rest of the world is not under the same spell of idol worship which is gripping the US.
Chicago and sports don't really mix well anyway.....
Good, I'm moving there in a couple months and don't want to have to put up with that.
I usually don't say these words, but...THANK GOD!!!!
All the figures being tossed around lately seems to indicate the Olympics are a BUST which always leaves the citizens with a larger debt to pay off.
Yes. Clearly this is a failure for two people and a victory for all of us!
Chicago is ok without having it

1 Candidate Interview Review Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Auditor Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at McGladrey LLP in October 2011.
The interview process began with meeting local office staff at the university campus, seeding the staff with our faces and personalities before we gave them our resumes. I was contacted about two weeks after this to come to an interview on campus. There I met with a managing partner of the local office, where I went through a very conversational interview, asking about my background, experience, and interests. About a month later I was asked to go to their office about 100 miles away to interview further. The office visit was almost two months from the first interview. The office visit began with 4 pairs of staff (ranging from senior associates to partner) questioning my experience and various situational scenarios. The interview ended with the managing partner and a senior manager telling me that the pay was not very good, the benefits were okay but that I would not find very good benefits anywhere I went. I stayed positive because at that point I still wanted to work for this company, due to my knowledge of their opportunities. The staff then took the two interviewees (myself and another person) out to lunch, where the visit concluded. I did not hear back after the interview for almost another three weeks.
I decided that this was not the company for me. While I could not tell whether I had gotten the job or not, I was already planning on turning it down if it was offered to me. All of the staff had their own personal office, regardless of what their level was. This was evident in their interactions with each other, with even mundane conversation being very stilted. When it was time for lunch, everyone popped out of their office like prarie dogs. I was not impressed; all the other accounting firms I had visited were very open, with offices only reserved for higher level managers so they could meet with clients and have private conversations with their employees. For anyone looking for a job here, and that is determined that this is the place for you, then have patience and do not get irritated at the astounding amount of time it takes to answer an email.

NORCROSS - At 4 a.m., Shar Mallory pops out of bed, grabs her two chocolate labs, and begins her day with a five-mile walk.At lunch, she foots it to the grocery store, the drug store or the bank. And when she gets home, Mallory walks another five miles while her kids are at soccer practice. On the weekends, the family takes hikes into the mountains. Mallory, a former marathoner, said she's always loved to be on her feet. "Anything to be outside," she said. "I walk at least 15 to 18 miles a day." That sort of motivation led Mallory to walk more than a million steps last month as part of the Metro Atlanta Walk There Challenge. That equates to more than 500 miles in just a month of walking, Clean Air Campaign spokesman Joey Ledford said. Mallory said she started tracking her steps just two weeks before, after wondering how many miles her regular treks entailed. She said she was surprised to learn just how far she was going. "I love to walk," Mallory said. "It's my peace." She spends the time alone in her thoughts or listening to science podcasts or books on tape. Mallory said she's been learning healing meditations, Spanish and French as she's gotten her exercise. Her tendency to walk to lunch - or through lunch - has convinced other coworkers at Reed Construction Data in Norcross to get out of their seats and start to hike through trails Mallory and others created near the office. She said there are lakes, gazebos and other sights to take in near Technology Parkway and the nearby offices. The 46-year-old said she brings a T-shirt to change into, tennis shoes to walk in and a washcloth with soap on it to rinse off after she goes. "I wish more people would walk," she said. "Get outside of your cube."

New social networking site will allow FX traders to connect to their peers – and to trade
And now financial traders are jumping on the social media bandwagon. A new social trading network has been launched that enables foreign exchange traders to connect to their peers, as well as groups of brokers. Called Tradeo, the service allows users to access data feeds and analytics, monitor sentiment across the community, and execute trades online.
"Tradeo has become the place where traders meet. We launched the platform in response to a clear appetite from the financial community to use new media communications channels to help make decisions. Tradeo is for traders frustrated by limited access to quality and real-time market data," says Jonathan Adest, chief executive of Tradeo in Tel Aviv.
Functionality includes market analytics, pricing and charting information, quotes, financial calendars, news, and the ability to monitor trends and set limits. Members can also share views and get feedback from their peers on the trades they execute. Like social media site Facebook, FX traders now have the ability to 'befriend', 'chat', 'like', comment on issues, and vote in polls.
"We did a lot of research before launching Tradeo and saw a clear demand for better data and negotiating power with the brokers from the FX trading community. Traders are looking for a social networking experience in the financial markets. They are looking for ways in which they can access financial information and connect that to social trading," says Adest.
A key function is the ability to get feedback on trades and orders, Adest adds. "For example, if you're having difficulty making decisions on whether you should keep your EUR/USD positions, then you can ask your 'friends'. This allows real-time and historical trading. From this, a history is created on each of the traders, and users can see – based on privacy settings – the gain, drawbacks and type of trader every user is."
Tradeo has been testing the service since June 2011. The network has a few hundred members, but Adest hopes to increase this number by the end of the year.
"We have further developments in the pipeline and plan to create even more functionality for the trading community," says Adest. "In the short term, however, we plan to educate the market to be able to trade socially. Everyone is social today, and this needs to be carried to the professional world. The more traders that we have on Tradeo, the better the analytics, the better the trending topics and the better the trending trades."

growing strawberries between other plants
A couple of years ago I was given some strawberries which due to lack of knowledge I allowed to multiply and grow all over the place. Those strawberries were flowering without having them grow to a reasonable size and my dear "friends" the ants were always eating them before I got to them - I just had no time.
I know a little more now and although I'm still short of time, I would like to transplant some of them to one location and do the rotation every 3 years or so.
I'm not sure what sort of strawberries they are - they are flowering now and continue to do so for most of the year.
The thing is, I don't have very much space. I have the following areas available for planting:
(a)vegetable garden area which is surrounded by berries along one border (the west side fence) and grape vines along the other three borders and has 3 raised beds (concrete blocks) in the middle.
(b)grapevines and a few kiwis along the east and south fences of the property with a row of mandarins in front of the vines on the south lfence.
(c)another row of mandarins 2 meters behind the row in (b)
With strawberry diseases etc. is it wise to grow them between/near the mandarins , between the grape vines , between the berries or only in the raised beds (would like to keep the raised beds for vegetables and I guess growing them next to berries may not be so good as I needed to add some apple vinegar to the soil of the berries to make it a bit more acidic) ?
BTW - I'm interested in 100% organic growing and have worm compost - and I am a little crazy about the number of plants
I am packing into the small area around my house ;) .
Hard to say for sure. I always give strawberries their own area, so I can't speak to shoehorning them into random places. Why not give it a try and see how it works for you? Strawberries are not very finicky from my experience, but by trying different locations in your yard you may find a sweet spot.
I would definitely recommend planting your strawberries between your grape vines. I have done this myself and I have not seen any negative consequences. You would be surprised how many different types of plants can be grown next to each other besides just the three sisters.
I have my strawberries growing in a hill system between the grapes. Each row(or hill) spans the distance between the individual grape vines, which in my case is about 4-5 ft of strawberry row. Growing strawberries under a grape trellis has many advantages. Because my strawberries are planted in black weed fabric, the grapes are growing in a weed free environment which reduces disease pressure caused by tall weeds. It also saves space by eliminating the need for an "independent" strawberry patch. The only thing you have to be careful about with a hill system is to make sure that you don't let the soil from the hill cover up the grape graft. The strawberries still get plenty of sun because the grape leaves don't start until much higher up the trellis.
If you have any more questions, let me know.
i THINK that's a great way to go. I let my musk strawberries crawl where they want to go. That's their natural way. It helps diversity.
I also have a dedicated "regular" strawberry patch that I put compost on and allow a few other plants in to increase diversity.
Grapes and kiwis are also great for diversity.
Mine are also grown 100% organic.

Thanks for all the answers ! Hope you don't mind a "few" more questions to clarify things for me ;):
(a)Did some more reading and as written here and from what I've read elsewhere, people are using a variety of mulches from synthetics, to pine needles/hay/grass clippings and no mulch. I would somehow prefer either the organics or no mulch. Would grass clippings dried for a few days or no mulch really work ?
(b)One of my problems in the past was that something always ate the strawberry fruit before I got to them - I always found ants around/in the half eaten fruit, so I thought it was them, but guess it could be slugs/snails or small lizards /guessing). Any ideas on a solution (snails I can do a flashlight search) - but ants and lizards ?
(c)I saw varying info on yield per plant - just wondering how many plants I should keep (have around 60 plants of various age growing all over the place) .
(d)As far as I understand, 3 years is the time to aim for growing them in the one spot. So I need to plan the rotation spot and would like to know what can be grown there now (it'll be along another fence between grapevines/kiwis or between the mandarins - so I could keep it empty but with little room for growing things, it seems like a waste to leave it empty.
How far away from the present planting area should it be (the row of mandarins is parallel and only a couple of meters away from the fence
(e)As far as I understand strawberries should be renewed every three years and I've read that a good practice is to renew 1/3 of the plants yearly. Is there a particular order to have them planted so that new runners replace the old plants or do you plant the runners in pots ? How do you tell a plant is "too old" - I've read that the plants have multiple crowns matted together - do you only leave the single crown plants ?.
(f)Other than de-flowering plants that are young to force
growth of plant instead of fruit - is partial de-flowering practiced to get bigger fruit ?
I grow strawberries as a ground cover (amung the other 10 or so I have). The only thing you may see is a bit less yeild due to some of the shade of other plants. IF you have to dig them up it isnt a big deal either (just be careful if youre digging around your trees).
Im in the same boat as well, I dont have too much room, yet I still have 8 kinds f strawberry!
It's ironic that this post was put up for myself as well. I was thinking of doing a raised bed in front of our sun room and putting caroline raspberries in it. Between the raspberry bushes I was debating on doing strawberries. I guess it is feasible!
Nothing ironic - I think most things have been done before ;) - just us poor little humans need to learn everything before we know it ;)
About the raspberries - I needed to make the soil more acidic (sprayed a little diluted apple vinegar) for my berries - now they've really taken off - not sure if the pH will be OK for the strawberries.
Hopefully someone can give some thoughts on my last questions.
skyjs and canadianplant - what are the other cover crops you are using and what sort of mulch are you using ? Any info on how much fruit you get per plant would be interesting. What arrangement of initial plants and replacement strategy do you use ?
I use oragano, lemon balm, mint, yarrow, strawberries (up to 8 kinds now), white and red clover and dandelion (yes, dandelion). Probably some more i cant think of right now.
For mulch I use leaves, and this year am getting straw and sawdust, along with some bags of cedar mulch. For acidic plants, i try (but cant always) from some pine needles and some used coffee gorunds (some anedcotal evidence on raising acidity, but there is some stating that it helps the iron uptake in acidic plants, so...)

A somewhat soggy Sunday of blooms (photos)
We had a bit of rain early this morning, so I slept in and took pictures at about 10. Most of the blooms were covered with raindrops, and some had waterspotted.
KENTUCKY LUCKY, a late bloomer by John Rice, had its ffo today.
WARRIOR VICTORIOUS, an EM bloomer, also had its ffo. It's strange because most daylilies bloomed 2-3 weeks early, but some, like this one, are pretty much on schedule.
FABERGE EASTER - I planted this one after it had already put up a scape, and most of the blooms have been small and splotchy. This is the first good one.
ANNABELLE'S BLUSH has more buds and bigger blooms than I've seen in the past.
ORCHID ELEGANCE and WINTER TREASURE in the blue and white bed are among my top performers this season.
Here's a look at WONDER OF IT ALL with the other side of the ORCHID ELEGANCE clump.
And down below, WONDER OF IT ALL with CERULEAN WARBLER.
SUGAR MAGNOLIA, looking more vibrant than usual
VENUS'S FIRE, which always looks vibrant!
Blue Stocking monarda
BUNNY EARS - I always thought this was FAD GADGET, since that's what the tag said. I bought FG and BE from Judy Davisson the same fall. The one labeled Bunny Ears died. Several people told me they didn't think this was Fad Gadget because of the color, and I wondered why the flowers and scapes were so much smaller than they were supposed to be, even after I thinned Westerbourne Good Old Days so it could get more sun. So, since the flower size, scape height and bloom time match Bunny Ears, I've decided that's what it is.
Kay and Jean - I think once Faberge Easter settles in, it will be a real stunner. It has clearer colors and fancier edge than a lot of the other applique cultivars.
Christine, Val and Rita - Orchid Elegance has put on a wonderful clump show for the past week, and it has several rebloom scapes on the way. I think it looks nice with either of the near whites.
Lisa - Wild Red Heart is one of my favorites. It used to have a lot more buds, but it gets shaded out by its neighbors now.
Rita and Val - I like the peach look of Kentucky Lucky. The photo on the Rice's website made it look more yellow. In its first season to bloom, it has short scapes. I look forward to it being a lot taller and better budded in future years.
Jean - The flowers that DO open on Wonder of It All are truly wonderful. It's a nice clump now, but there are always more flowers that don't open, than do. I think it needs to be where it gets all day sun for all the blooms to open. The corner of the clump gets early morning sun, and those blooms alway open right up. The part that doesn't get sun until 9 a.m. has the most flowers that hang up.
Wonder Of It All & Orchid Elegance really got my attention. What a nice photo and they look really great together. I also like Warrior Victorious. Very beautiful. Speaking of soggy, I can barely walk in my garden it's so muddy. I am not complaining though as we needed the rain badly...Ellie
That is one beautiful clump of Orchid Elegance, my very favorite photo here. Wonder of it All is really big, isn't it, very impressive. I like the look of Faberge easter, very unique & lovely. Wild Red Heart is another one that really catches my eye, but your daylilies are all so lovely, hard to pick a fav.
WILD RED HEART is so pretty. KENTUCKY LUCKY I just got this spring from Annette. Your pic reminds me alot of a shorter version of Curt's TEMPORARY AND ETERNAL. We shall see what it looks like here when it blooms.
ORCHID ELEGANCE looks great with WINTER TREASURE.
Mantis - Good to see your post, but sorry to hear about how your weather has affected your plants. Mother Nature has thrown us all some curves this year.
Julia - I'm very happy with the way Kentucky Lucky opened, but it's still cool here. It may look a lot different when things go back to our usual 90-degree summer temps.

I was asked simple questions about myself and my experience with children. The interview was basically to grasp an idea of who you are as person, if you would work well with children, and if you are apt to learning to become a productive member of the Kumon team. We spoke of expected pay. I was a high school student. Started below minimum wage and was told if I worked well my pay would reflect it. I received many pay raises which soon was capped.

British Marine Art (Romantic Era)
Marine art was especially popular in Britain during the Romantic Era, and taken up readily by British artists in part because of England's geographical form (an island).[1] This article deals with marine art as a specialized genre practised by artists who did little or nothing else, and does not cover the marine works of the leading painters of the period, such as, and above all, J.M.W. Turner. The tradition of British marine art as a specialized genre with a strong emphasis on the shipping depicted began in large part with the artists Willem Van de Velde the Elder and his son, called the Younger in the early 18th century.[2] The Van Veldes, originally from Holland, moved to England to work for King Charles II).[3] By the 17th century, marine art was commissioned mostly by merchant seamen and naval officers and created by marine art specialists (rather than artists in general). In part, marine art served as a visual portrayal of Britain's power on the sea and as a way of historically documenting battles and the like.[4] As British sea captains began to recognize the ability of marine artists to bring Britain's success on the sea to the public on land, some took on an active role in supporting this type of artwork. For example, marine artist Robert Cleveley was hired Captain William Locker to work in HMS Thames as a clerk, and Captain Locker, interested in employing artists, is believed to have played a significant role in encouraging Cleveley to work as a marine painter.[5] Captains would act as marine artists' patrons, commissioning them to paint portraits of themselves and pictures depicting important battles. A few significant marine artists who were supported in this way by naval officers are (among others) Nicholas Pocock, Thomas Luny, and George Chambers.[6] William Hodges, for example, who was trained to draw at William Shipley's Academy (studying under Richard Wilson), was hired by the Admiralty to finish his pictures from Cook's 1772 voyage for publication upon reaching home in 1775.[7] Captains also commissioned artists to paint portraits of their ships.
Dutch Influence and the Beginning of the British Marine Art Tradition[edit]
The tradition of marine painting really began in Holland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, perhaps because of the significance of seafaring in establishing and maintaining the Dutch Republic.[8] Marine painting began in keeping with medieval Christian art tradition, and so the original paintings portrayed the sea only from a bird's eye view, and everything, even the waves, were organized and symmetrical. The viewpoint, symmetry, and overall order of these early paintings were to keep in mind the organization of the heavenly cosmos from which the earth was viewed.[9] Later Dutch artists like Hendrick Vroom and Cornelius Claesz, however, developed new methods for painting, often from a horizontal point of view, with a lower horizon and more focus on realism than symmetry.[10] Most notable of the Dutch artists' who influenced the British marine art tradition were Willem van de Velde the Elder, and his son, the Younger.[11] Willem van de Velde the Younger was especially admired and thus influential in England because he lived and worked there for thirty-five years.[12] The methods developed by the Dutch to successfully depict some of the sea's more elusive features (light and shadow, or the reflection of the sky over the ocean's uneven surface, for example) were adopted by British artists as they founded their own marine art tradition. Knowledge of Dutch methods of marine painting was considered so fundamental to a successful marine painting education that it was likened to "grammar school" for the British marine artist.[13] In fact, it is not uncommon to find Dutch ships painted into the works of British marine artists as a tribute to the Dutch artists from whom they gained so much knowledge and inspiration.[14]
The Romantic Era[edit]
In the Romantic era, interest in marine art expanded from its initial exclusive audience of sailors and naval officers to the general public.[15] One reason for this increased interest may be the significance of the navy in Romantic British culture. With the increase of industry in Britain and the threatening resurgence of the French royal navy during the time after the Peace of Utrecht, England found means and motivation to improve its sea power on both the level of mercantilism and conquest.[16] Later into the Romantic era the Napoleonic Wars, which were fought in large part on the sea, brought the British navy further to the forefront when the British navy played a significant role in defeated the French forces.[17] The infamous Glorious First of June which marks a major British naval victory over the French during the French Revolutionary Wars, happened within the Romantic era (June 1, 1794) as did the Battle of Trafalgar of the Napoleonic Wars (October 21, 1805). For a contemporary depiction of the British navy during the Romantic era one might look to the popular fictional series by Patrick O'Brian which follows naval officer Captain Aubrey and his companion Maturin during the Napoleonic Wars or the Hornblower Saga by C.S. Forester which follows Horatio Hornblower as his career in the British navy progresses (also during the Napoleonic Wars). Whatever the reason, a new group of marine artists now made their way onto the scene. Landscape painters found inspiration in the sea and began to create work which was not always accurate, but which could be sold among the less technically sea-savvy art collectors in England.[18]
Types of Marine Painting[edit]
British marine paintings from this era can be divided into three main categories. These are: ship portraits, paintings of ships at sea, and inshore, coastal and harbour scenes.[19]
- Ship portraits, as mentioned above, were immensely popular before and throughout the Romantic era. Ship portraits were, as apparent by the name, focused entirely on the ship, rather than on the surrounding sea, although the best-known of the ship portraitists strove to carry the accuracy of their drawing out into the atmosphere surrounding the ship (sky, sea, coastlines, etc). Accuracy in all the details of the ship above all was of the utmost importance in ship portraits.[20]
- Paintings of ships at sea fell into two categories. Paintings of large, full-rigged vessels (such as naval vessels), and paintings of smaller vessels. The former had more prestige and was more expensive, while the later was much easier to come by and generally cheaper. Artists didn't necessarily choose larger or smaller vessels based the skill involved, as their location was often a factor. While some artists worked on/amongst large vessels (travelling with explorers, for example), others worked primarily on the coasts, and so would encounter fishing vessels and the life more frequently than war vessels and such.[21]
- Inshore, coastal and harbour scenes were often paintings of smaller vessels, and were (again) more common than paintings of large ships at sea. Coastal pictures offer more possibilities for painters in their depiction of the scene since the depth, quality, and surrounding land of the harbours/coastal areas was much more variant than the monotonous, albeit impressive deep sea.[22]
Since marine artists in the Romantic era varied in technical knowledge (as noted earlier), there seems to have been a certain amount of debate about how an artist should balance aesthetic/artistic qualities with accuracy in their pictures. This stands in contrast to earlier marine painting (most often in the form of ship portraits for seamen and officers), which was judged solely by accuracy and not valued for artistic quality.[23] The knowledge required for accuracy wasn't necessarily easy to come by. The standards outlined in the Liber Nauticus by Dominic and John Thomas Serres makes clear the level of expertise some expected in marine art. In this instruction manual on how to create marine art, the Serreses' declared: "many are the obstacles to the attainment of a proficiency in drawing Marine subjects, particularly as it is not only requisite that a person desirous of excelling in the Art should possess a knowledge of the construction of a ship, or of what is denominated Naval Architecture together with the proportion of masts & yards, the width & cut of the sails, &c; but he should likewise be acquainted with Seamanship".[24] A certain expectation of accuracy is also expressed in a review of two different paintings depicting the Glorious First of June (one—more dramatic/fantastical—by Philip de Loutherbourg and the other by Robert Cleveley, who had long worked as a sailor and whose painting is quite a bit more tame if not as artistically skillful) by Anthony Pasquin (John Williams).[25] Pasquin wrote:
Mr. Loutherbourg's picture on this popular subject is too licentious in the points of historic fact to please any nautical observer. Mr. Cleveley's performance did not impress me, instantaneously, with so much pleasure as Mr. Loutherbourg's; but it had this very desirable effect, that my satisfaction was strengthened in proportion as I viewed it. It is evident that this Artist has a far deeper knowledge of his subject than his compeer, and has not violated authenticity upon any material point: he has not painted to amaze but to satisfy: he has grouped both his pictures with an admirable taste; all the minutiae of the marine are vigorously preserved, and the effect of his atmosphere at morning and evening is strictly compatible with truth and harmony.[26]
Marine Art and the British Public[edit]
Paintings commissioned by senior naval officers and displayed in the Royal Academy (as were many marine paintings) were not necessarily accessible to the larger British population. However, this does not mean that marine art was confined to the upper classes. Some marine artists and engravers made etchings and aquatints of the pictures bought by art collectors and such, and these copies could be sold to the general public at more affordable prices.[27] Working as a print dealer rarely generated a livable income for artists, but a few found success. Thomas and William Daniell, for example, had a reasonable amount of success selling aquatints to the public and to book publishers.[28]
Influence in America[edit]
Various English artists influenced the tradition of American marine art, most notably Thomas Butterworth, whose battles of naval depictions during the War of 1812 became very popular among American art collectors. Although Butterworth may have never actually gone there, his work reached America thanks to aquatints of his works done by the English engraver Joseph Jeakes.[29] So, just as aquatints made British marine art accessible to the general British population, they made British marine art accessible to the American population across the Atlantic. Another British influence on American marine art was Robert Salmon, who began his career in England in 1800, but ended up moving to America and bringing along with him a British "topographical style" which the younger artists then in New England.[30]
Major British Marine Artists[edit]
There are far too many talented British marine artists from the Romantic Era to name them all here, but a few are William Anderson, Robert Cleveley, Thomas Luny, George Chambers, Nicholas Pocock, William Hodges, and Philip de Loutherbourg among many others.[31]

Nando's originates from South Africa – the restaurant has gone from strength to strength since the doors to its first branch opened way back in 1987. The restaurant chain is popular with all the family – and people from all walks of life! It's not uncommon to see celebrities and football players talking about Nando's – it offers a casual dining experience that's unlike no other. The chain specialises primarily in chicken dishes – diners are then given a choice as to the Peri-Peri marinade their chicken is coated in. The menu also includes beef dishes and vegetarian options.
At present there are over 1,000 Nando's restaurants worldwide in over 30 countries. The restaurant group raked in over £400 million in sales in 2012 alone. Some of the countries that play host to Nando's restaurants include Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Ireland, USA, Canada and of course the United Kingdom.
We pride ourselves on offering our users a great selection of discount vouchers and coupons for use both online and offline. Although Nandos.co.uk don't sell food via their website, you'll be glad to know that we've got a constant stream of deals right here on our website – here are just a few of the great deals we've got to offer at present:
From time to time we'll post vouchers and coupons that can be redeemed at your local restaurant. The only way to redeem a voucher you find online is to print it out. Once you've printed it you must hand it to the cashier when placing your order. Be sure to check the terms and conditions attached to the voucher, make a note of the expiry date too – expired vouchers cannot be redeemed.
Counting the calories? Don't bother – let the Nando's app do it for you! The app is laden with amazing features, it really is a "must have" for every smartphone or tablet computer user. It's easy to find your nearest restaurant using the app – it also gives you a detailed breakdown of the facilities and amenities at your local stores (ie, if it has an outdoor seating area, for those [rare] sunny summer days).
You can also browse the whole menu via the app – why not whet your appetite before a visit by having a quick peak at what they've got to offer? Alternatively, if you're visiting with your friends, why not impress them by being ultra-decisive and not even consulting the menu? The app also features things like nutritional information. You can check the balance on your new reward card via the app too – and you can also use it to scribble down your order. If you always forget what you wanted to order the second you leave the table, the scribble pad is an awesome feature to use. You'll never forget an order again!
Last but not least, you can also drop a line directly to the Nando's customer service team via the app. Had a problematic visit to a store? Want to say thanks for brilliant service you've received? No problem at all – you can get in touch with the customer care team quickly and easily via the official smartphone app. Now is the time to browse the app store for your device and download the official app – it's available for iOS and Android devices including smartphones and tablet computers.

Is There Enough Focus on Teacher Collaboration?
In the Fall issue of the Stanford Social Innovation Review, a scholar argues that the level of teacher collaboration in a school—what she refers to as a school's 'social capital'—can be a powerful factor in boosting student achievement, perhaps even more powerful than individual teachers' abilities. How strong is teacher collaboration in your school? How well does current education and school-level policy support trust and substantive interaction among teachers? What could be done to improve schools' social capital?

I have been working at Good Technology full-time (more than 10 years)

I have been working at Good Technology full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Solid leadership: under Christy Wyatt, the company has begun flourishing. It has caused a bunch of turnover for older folks who don't want to embrace change, but that is completely expected. Christy is a very seasoned leader in this market space, and has a clear understanding of what we need to do in order to succeed.
Blue chip customer base: it's not everywhere you work where you can say you are interacting with the world's leading logos. It's cool to know that many of the CEOs of the world's most important companies go to sleep and wake up using Good products.
Industry leading products: widely recognized as the leader in security, dominating Blackberry in the market, and creating new technology for the mobile enterprise space on a daily basis. Seriously there is very little in the space being offered to customers that Good didn't invent first. Why? They have a strong understanding of the market space, what challenges customers are going to face, and invest in the future.
Smart people who care: One of the best things working here is that you will work with smart people who care about each other. New people are embraced and welcomed. You never ask for help and not receive it. It's probably the strongest cultural benefit.Cons
Still maturing as a company: as mentioned in the Pros, lots of turnover as Christy creates a new culture of performance of performance and customer focus. She has brought in some great new leaders, and has held on to some of the more talented old ones. This all creates turnover, but it has stabilized.
You work hard here, and expectations are high. If you aren't passionate about what the company is doing, then you probably won't be happy here.Advice to ManagementAdvice

"niche product + poor execution + UE winning over Security = not a good place to be "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Good Technology full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
- flagship product is robust and reliable
- embedding Good's security framework into custom apps is promisingCons
- For context, I think many would agree that adding Security to anything inherently means adding complexity and/or preventing a "native" experience. Good is known for it's strong security; however, a surprisingly low percentage of F1000 truly care about mobile related data-loss. This is proven by MDM vendors winning market-share by touting User Experience.
- Territory/Quota assignments are not well thought out.
- Too many Execs do not work from HQ and seem out of touch with the market realities.Advice to ManagementAdvice
- invest more into productivity apps.
- invest in MDM
- segment Sales by "hunter" and "farmer" roles in effort to create more equitable quota assignments. (hard to believe Sales Mgt. treats every dollar the same....organic license growth should not be recognized the same as replacing a competitor.)
- hire a VP of Sales in Sunnyvale who has relevant security experience.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO
