Sexually transmitted diseases and concerns
Safe sex is essentially avoiding getting your partner or partner's blood, vaginal fluids, semen and breast milk inside your body, and it's easily avoided so long as you take precautions. The only way to save yourself needing a sex test to check for nasty sexually transmitted diseases like Chlamydia, hepatitis a, b and c, HIV and so on is by using CONDOMS to protect yourself.
This advice extends to sex toys as well, though using a condom on a vibrator may not be so much fun, but you can still take care to make sure no bodily fluids are passed on to another by making sure you clean your sex toys after each and every use, especially if different people are going to be using them.
The same thing applies for your anal sex health concerns, masturbation health concerns and your oral sex health concerns as well avoid all exchange of bodily fluids and you'll be fine.

In the MIT Engineering Systems Division, students aim to solve complex sociotechnical problems by integrating approaches based on engineering, management, and social sciences—using new framing and modeling methodologies.
They learn from faculty drawn from departments throughout the School of Engineering, as well as from the MIT Sloan School of Management and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Students also participate in and benefit from the innovative academic and research partnerships ESD forges with industry and government.
Designing systems requires not only technological and analytical skills, but also knowledge of public policy issues and awareness of societal needs, tastes, and preferences. Because of the aggressive rate of change and the challenge of scaling systems in size, scope, and complexity, ESD promotes the development of new approaches, frameworks, and theories to analyze and design these systems.
ESD faculty and students work on issues of national and international importance through a range of relationships forged with industry, government and academia.

Born | Abelardo Dennis Florencio Ho May 12, 1981 Quezon City, Philippines |
Other name(s) | Dennis/Den |
Occupation | Actor, Singer, Commercial Model |
Years active | 2000-present |
Official website |
Abelardo Dennis Florencio Ho (born May 12, 1981 in Quezon City, Philippines), or more famously known as Dennis Trillo is a television singer and film actor in the Philippines. His film debut Aishite Imasu (Mahal Kita) 1941 which skyrocketed him into a matinee idol status. He is currently an artist of GMA Network, his rise to fame was proven in 2006 when he won the Best Actor trophy thrice that same year defeating heavy contender, Piolo Pascual, Making him the only non-veteran actor to defeat Piolo Pascual in the said feat.
Contents |
Trillo comes from a well-off family. He finished his high school in Jose Abad Santos Memorial School in Quezon City, and he spent his grade school years at the Ateneo De Manila University. He has a B.A. in International Studies from Miriam College.
His career in entertainment started in 2000 at ABS-CBN,[1] when he was introduced as one of the young talents for the 10th batch of Star Circle, ABS-CBN Network's artist machinery (now known as Star Magic). He was seen in the television soap opera Pangako Sayo & Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan where he played the confidante of one of the lead stars. Despite his exposure, Trillo's career did not really take off. He used to be in a rock band called Moyg.
His biggest breaks came upon his transfer to GMA Network wherein he became one of its contract stars. He was cast in several television outings like Kahit Kailan, Twin Hearts and Love to Love.
Trillo's stardom continued to rise in 2004, when he became one of the lead stars in the popular telefantasya (fantasy-themed TV series) Mulawin. He made his film debut in Aishite Imasu 1941: Mahal Kita, where he received raves for his portrayal of a cross-dressing spy for the HUKBALAHAP during the advent of the Japanese invasion in World War II. For Aishite Imasu, he received several awards and citations including Best Supporting Actor from the 30th Metro Manila Film Festival and Best Actor trophies from the Film Academy of the Philippines, the PMPC Star Awards For Movies, and the Young Critics Circle. He was also included in the third installment of Mano Po, which starred Vilma Santos, a veteran actress and grand-slam Best Actress awardee.
2005 proved to be a more fruitful year for Trillo. He was part of the hit TV adaptation of the Mars Ravelo comic, Darna, where he played the love interest of both the titular super-heroine as well as her archenemy Valentina. He was later part of the drama anthology Now and Forever: Agos, where he again showcased his acting prowess. That same year he reprised his role for Mulawin: The Movie, and was also in the film Blue Moon alongside award-winning actors Eddie Garcia and Christopher de Leon, this is also the same year where he proved his acting prowess when he defeated heavy contender, Piolo Pascual thrice for the best actor trophy. Many critics said that Dennis' advantage over Piolo is that Dennis can act on any genres of film and TV, he can also portray other roles including villain and gay roles.
Trillo was again cast as a lead in Etheria, where he portrayed the Sapirian prince, Raquim, previously donned by Richard Gomez. Midway through the series, GMA Network management announced that Trillo would be pulled out of Etheria to once again star opposite Angel Locsin (who played Darna) in Majika, another fantasy-themed television series. Although subsequent to the announcement, many Etheria fans felt that it would be a big blow to the series since he plays a major character. Ultimately, it was cleared that Trillo would see the series to its finale.
Trillo also had dealt with nasty gossip. One is that he had a son with a model and he other is questioning his sexuality. Trillo reunites with former love team Angel Locsin as they top-bill in GMA Network's newest offering, a television fantasy series aptly called Majika. Trillo plays Argo, a provocatively clad Salamanca (wizard) with finesse in archery who teaches his protégée Sabina (Angel Locsin) how to hone her craft and become a powerful sorceress. Aside from his television show, Trillo also starred in the horror-suspense film Pamahiin, which is his first major acting role for the particular film genre. Recognizing his passion for making music, GMA also included him as a co-host for the network's noontime show "SOP" where he also displays his talent for drums as part of the show's Starband. He made a "Lenten Presentation" in GMA-7 entitled "Unico Hijo" which he played the role of Agnes, a gay, an AIDS victim, son of a well-known politician in their province.
On 2007, Dennis was started doing Kulam with Judy Ann Santos for Regal Films also. On August 21, Dennis started in taping his fantaserye of GMA-7's Zaido, where he stars with Raymart Santiago, Marky Cielo, Aljur Abrenica, and Lorna Tolentino, at a studio in Marilao, Bulacan.[2]
On April 27, 2008, 5,000 tourists and residents at the Mactan, Cebu Shrine, viewed the "Battle of Mactan" play, where Manny Pacquiao acted as Lapu-Lapu, while Dennis Trillo played Ferdinand Magellan.[3]
On May 12, 2008, Dennis Trillo's newest starrer, afternoon soap, called locally as a "Sine Novela," Pablo Gomez's "Magdusa Ka" premiered to good ratings. It is still enjoying great success. Sine Novela: Magdusa Ka, also stars Iwa Moto, Jackie Lou Blanco, Emilio Garcia, Gabby Eigenmann, and his leading lady Katrina Halili in a very different role. In the said soap, Dennis Trillo played a macho dancer character. His macho dancing act in "Magdusa Ka" created buzz in the Philippines because the soap is shown on an afternoon time slot. It is also a daring career move for Dennis Trillo.
In Late 2008, Dennis starred in "Gagambino" where he played the main character. The series ended in Early 2009. [4][5][6][7]
After Gagambino, Dennis star in the comedy, "Adik Sa'Yo" where he is paired with Jennica Garcia as a loveteam. After Adik Sa'Yo, he plays the new character Pancho in Darna where he works with Marian Rivera. Trillo replaces Dingdong Dantes as one of the hosts in StarStruck V where Dantes, one of the original hosts of its show, will replace Richard Gomez for Family Feud.[8]
He is Chinese Filipino. His mother is a Filipino and his father is Chinese. In September 2007, Dennis Trillo admitted that he is the father of the baby of Carlene Aguilar, named Calix Andreas, in an exclusive interview with Showbiz Central. Dennis stated that he felt relieved after making the admission: "Pakiramdam ko mas magkakaroon ako ng peace of mind dahil …kasi Hindi ko naman matatago yun habambuhay dahil talagang dumarating sa parte ng isang tao 'yung ganun nagkakaroon ng anak , parte ng buhay yun e, so yun yung inevitable sa isang buhay. He was also in a relationship with Cristine Reyes but broke up in mid 2008. [9][10] [11] Apparently Dennis Trillo and Cristine Reyes' Breakup was in May of this year.

RmkMets I honestly didn't expect much out of Alou coming into this season but so far he's been great with the bat and his defense has been better than one would have expectede for someone his age. Even at the age of 40, he's still going strong. I just hope it lasts for the duration of the season but I guess we'll see.

Pune : A 23-year-old three-star hotel manager Sushant Prabhakar Jagdale based in Hinjewadi was allegedly kidnapped by four unidentified persons. They offered the manager a lift in a car, after which he was manhandled and robbed at knife-point to the tune of Rs14,500 in the wee hours of Monday near the Wakad Octroi post at Hinjewadi.
The robbers decamped with a wallet containing Rs3,500 cash, a wristwatch and a mobile phone. A complaint in this regard has been lodged by Jagdale of Umakanat Paradise, Baner at the Hinjewadi police station.
The incident took place when Sushant was returning home after work at Hotel Northern Frontier at Hinjewadi.
Speaking to dna, Sushant said, "Everyday after work, my colleague, who stays at Warje Malwadi drops me to my residence at Baner. However, on Sunday night, he dropped me at Wakad bus stop instead, at around 12 am. After waiting for 10 minutes, a white Indica halted at the stop and offered me lift. Considering that it was night, I sat in the rear seat. Four persons were already inside the car. After traveling for some distance, one of the passengers asked the car driver to stop, saying he was not felling well. Following which, I got suspicious and asked the driver to stop the car. He halted the car in darkness. The two people sitting next to me started hitting me. One of them threatened me with a sharp-edged weapon, while the other two took my wallet, watch and mobile phone."
"After taking my all valuables, the suspects drove in Balewadi's direction, and eventually dropped me in front of Indus company located on the Mumbai-Bangalore highway. Thereafter, I walked for two kilometers, and with the help of another hotel manager friend I reached home." Sushant added.
Sushant further said, "I was very scared so I did not note down the car's number. I wanted to leave the area as soon as possible."
About the suspects' description he said, "The robbers were drunk and speaking Marathi. They had weapons too. Before letting me off the car, they threatened me to kill if I go to the police."
The Hinjewadi police had detained three suspicious persons in this case, but all of them turned out to be false leads. Prima facie the police claimed that there is possibility of history-sheeters being involved in the case.
Speaking to dna, police sub-inspector PN Pawar said, "We had detained three suspicious persons in the case, but in vain. We are also taking details of past criminals to establish link in the case. As of now, we have no clues in the case."

A general court martial here has sentenced a Major to three years of rigorous imprisonment for having a relationship with a foreign woman and accepting money from her illegally. He has been dismissed from service.
A jury of five completed the court martial earlier this week after a trial that lasted 10 months. A competent authority of the Army will now have to confirm the verdict against Major Saurabh Saharan of 61 Cavalry, posted to 2 Lancers.
Nancy Chapman from the U.S., living in India for more than a decade, had complained to the Chief of the Army Staff that the Major had duped her of Rs. 17.5 lakh. The jury cross-examined her as a prosecution witness.
The Major was tried for charges such as giving information to a foreign national about official matters in violation of the Official Secrets Act, 1923; amassing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income; making a false statement deliberately (Section 57 [a] of the Army Act); remaining in contact with a woman in violation of instructions on contact with foreign nationals (Section 63); and improperly accepting money from her.
A defence spokesperson said on Wednesday that the court martial found him guilty of four charges and ordered that he be cashiered from service and imprisoned for three years. A cashiered officer would be stripped of his rank, privilege and responsibility. In a public ceremony, his insignia would be removed and destroyed. He would not be entitled to any benefits. Last year, the Major's father, a Colonel, had complained to the income-tax authorities about Ms. Chapman's stay and earnings in India. He had sought an investigation into the earnings and dealings of the U.S. national, who obtained a business visa after allegedly overstaying.

A year ago it would have been difficult to conceive of an anthology of stories soley devoted to corporate malfeasance. Today, the challenge has been to keep it confined to one volume. From P.J. O'Rourke's hilarious "How To Stuff A Wild Enron," in which he compares trying to understand Enron's finances to trying to buy an airline ticket at the best price, to Marc Peyser's's perceptive look at that American institution, Martha Stewart, to Joe Nocera's investigation of how it all went wrong, the stories here are sometimes infuriating, often entertaining, and invariably informative. Best Business Crime Writing Of The Year is a report from the front lines of the war zone that has become American business today by some of our most talented and perceptive writers.

My mathematical research began in algebraic topology with the study of exotic homology and cohomology theories and their connections with Banach Algebras. After that, I developed a transfer for finite group actions and studied a number that appears in the transfer that I call the "coherence number" of the group. Lately, I've been using the Hausdorff dimension of the orbits of dynamical systems to generate mathematical art.
My educational research concerns the use of multimedia and computer software to teach mathematical concepts. I recently published a complete multimedia treatment of first year calculus called "Journey Through Calculus".

Men's dress code was a little too strict (pant/jeans and collar shirt for dinner) I mean come on, we are at a beach! That was too much. And no music at the bar.
Overall all great resort to go to, very friendly staff and beautiful place!

The staff was the best part.
There wasn't two sets of keys to get in and out of the room. There was a black out during our stay.
The people were very nice, the food was good. Our room (cottage) was great, except at one point our air-conditioner started spitting out ice...they fixed rather quickly though and then all was fine. There was a black out during our stay there and although they apologized a few times, they definitely could have done a little something extra for the guests. Overall though, it was a beautiful resort with very nice people on staff.. we had a blast. ...

"Let's see how long it takes BV to mention that Phil Collins will never drum again." - Anonymous
In the UK press today, there appeared some articles about Phil's physical state, with some slightly misleading headlines. Here, in Phil's own words, are how he describes his situation:In other drummers named Phil news, NME reports that "Radiohead drummer Phil Selway has announced that he is set to release a solo album.""There isn't any drama regarding my 'disability' and playing drums.
Somehow during the last Genesis tour I dislocated some vertebrae in my upper neck and that affected my hands. After a successful operation on my neck, my hands still can't function normally."Maybe in a year or so it will change, but for now it is impossible for me to play drums or piano. I am not in any 'distressed' state, stuff happens in life."
Selway, who sings on the album, is currently in the process of recording the as-yet untitled record in his band's Oxfordshire studio.No release date or any more details yet. A video of Phil McKenna playing drums, below...He enlisted the services of Wilco members Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone to play on the project, and multi-instrumentalist solo artist Lisa Germano and bass player Sebastian Steinberg have also contributed.

phil selway, the ringo of alt-rock. (and remember how ringo's albums sell).

I'm a big radiohead fan. I think Phil is much more talented than a Ringo. This said.. I will not be buying a Phil, Ed or Colin solo record.

drummers are literally the weakest link of any given band no matter how terrible the rest of them are

Phil C.'s inability to play drums is karmic payback for fucking up the Led Zeppelin reunion at Live Aid.

"Phil C.'s inability to play drums is karmic payback for fucking up the Led Zeppelin reunion at Live Aid."
You mean the one where Page was strung out and slobbering all over himself? How could Collins make it any worse?

Radiohead fans, if they have not already, should search for the BBC broadcast of Radiohead's Reading Festival appearance from a few weeks back. Great performance, great sound and masteful camerawork from the beeb.

Besides having a most unwieldy moniker, Gateway's LCD bears the distinction of not including a DVI cable—it must be purchased separately—a minus in our book. It's also one of only two monitors in our April 2006 roundup to boast a widescreen aspect ratio, with a native resolution of 1680x1050, and elongated proportions that nicely accommodate side-by-side windows. If you're more interested in headroom, the FPD2185W flips into portrait mode for viewing lengthy web pages or Word documents.
The handsome black cabinet with carbon-fiber trim offers the full complement of ergo options (and the most effortless telescoping neck we've ever experienced). The onscreen display buttons are on the bezel's outer right edge, which is a nuisance, but a bundled app makes it possible to perform many OSD functions via a software GUI. The FPD2185W has you covered for inputs, offering several video options and two built-in USB 2.0 ports. Yes, there's a lot to like about this monitor.
Sadly, the FPD2185W's performance in DisplayMate was just average. It couldn't produce more than 64 steps of grayscale without showing signs of compression or expansion in the various shades. While this might not be readily apparent in a lot of real-world content, it does diminish subtle detail in images and would be problematic in any work that requires careful color matching. In games, the FPD2185W's performed without incident.
So while this LCD offers a lot of bang for the buck in terms of features, it comes at the expense of top-notch image quality.
Month Reviewed: April 2006
+ ROSE-COLORED GLASSES Handsome, versatile cabinet; big screen; and lots of inputs.
- SEEING RED: Grayscale issues affect image detail; inconvenient OSD buttons.

Excel Software Introduces LicenseSupport 3.0
Excel Software has announced the release of its LicenseSupport 3.0 license management software. The software is intended to assist customer service staff to manage the licenses of their customers' Windows and Mac applications using both a desktop application and an application programming interface to a Safe Activation server.

It also helps Amazon move further along in its quest to become a major factor in the video game industry.
IBM Strengthens Software Licensing Terms
Technology and consulting corporation IBM recently made some quiet adjustments to the licensing terms of Passport Advantage, the company's software license acquisition and management program. The language IBM uses in its standard license agreements is notoriously obfuscated; a perfect example being the fact that the company refers to these changes as "enhancements" despite not being in licensees' best interests.
Appistry Releases GenomePilot Software
Genomic research software and cloud services provider Appistry recently announced that it has both launched its new software application, GenomePilot, and will soon end a contract it holds with the Broad Institute.
Software License Optimization Tools Can Be Useful for Maximizing SaaS Subscription Value
By now, even the least tech savvy businesses understand that the cloud, hosted and "as a service" models deliver a giant bang for their buck.

BYOD Security Alert: Enterprises Playing Russian Roulette with Mobile Apps
As businesses roll-out their BYOD strategies, most CIOs and CEOs have no idea that many of the mobile apps allowed to touch corporate systems and data engage in risky behaviors that could compromise data security and policy. This danger was underscored recently when a free app - Flashlight, which activated the phone's flash function to use it as a flashlight, secretly recorded personal user information such as location of phone, details of the owner, etc., and sent it on to advertisers.
Microsoft Licensing Almost Got Better-But Not Quite
When Microsoft missed the boat on mobile devices and the cloud, it looked as though the company's days as an industry titan were coming to a close. But the company has made a remarkable adjustment in course, offering up a competitive cloud offering in Azure, and pivoting from its old desktop-based business model to one of cloud services. It has even shaken up its Windows empire in a big way, and recently the company announced that its much-touted forthcoming OS, Windows 10, would be a free upgrade for every current Windows user (which means most computer users).
SoftwareOne Lands Compucom's Software Business Unit
SoftwareOne is well-known in the field as a software licensing specialist firm, and it's about to be even more so well-known for such operations thanks to a major new move in the field. SoftwareOne reportedly, recently bought Compucom's entire software business unit, a move that contains several opportunities for SoftwareOne to advance in a field it was already a large part of.
Innovative Software Licensing Drives a Need for Management and Optimization
A move to subscription and usage-based software licensing is opening up greater flexibility and financial freedom compared to the old, pay-upfront model. But, businesses should also be aware that this new paradigm also creates fresh levels of complexity.
Flexera Execs Hold Sessions at Compliance Manager Summit
Executives from Flexera are taking part in a series of sessions on license compliance at the Compliance Manager Summit in San Francisco.
Cloud or No, Software Licensing Still a Big Concern
Most people don't think twice about software licensing. Whether most of the software used in a day comes with the computer itself, or whether it was provided by the business for which someone works, software licensing doesn't come to mind. But software licensing is still a major concern for many businesses out there, and the rapidly-changing landscape for software is making already muddy waters even tougher to traverse.
BMC Looks to Slash Mainframe Software Licensing Costs
The surging growth of mobile, Internet of things (IoT) and big data analytics is increasing mainframe workloads. In turn, this heightened activity is driving up the charges for key mainframe enabling software. BMC is tackling the issue with its management suite, which it says can strip 20 percent out of IBM Monthly License Charge (MLC) software costs.
Software Licensing for Businesses Can be a Perilous Journey
Although cloud computing has eliminated the hassles of installing and updating software for many IT departments, there is one area where it has made life difficult: software licensing.
Texas Comptroller: Selling Software in Texas Requires Collecting Use Taxes
The Texas Comptroller has affirmed an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) decision that a software company is required to collect and remit sales and use tax on its sales of software licenses to Texas customers, according to law firm Grant Thornton.
Open-Source Code Carries Licensing Risks
Open-source software was once considered the arena of software engineering experimentation and Internet-for-all advocates, offering free, customizable and flexible applications for a range of consumer and business purposes. Increasingly though, open-source has gone mainstream-and is upsetting the apple cart when it comes to software licensing practices.
Warning: Virtualization Can Be Bad for Software Licensing Health
Virtualization gets a lot of hype these days, but it does come with some potential pitfalls, depending on where it's being applied. For example, proper software licensing can be quite challenging in virtual environments.

Don't Let Audits Ruin a Good Thing
Software is a key competitive driver for businesses that outperform the market, as evidenced by a recent IBM Global C-Suite Study that found 56 percent of CEOs for outperforming organizations planned to focus on emerging technology in the next three years as a strategic priority.
Microsoft Software Licensing via Amazon Shows Steep Price Disparity
Word on the Web is that those who will license Microsoft's SQL Server on Amazon Web Services will experience a price disparity compared to other platforms, and not in a good way. According to unnamed sources as cited by The Register, when compared to other options, Amazon is pricier than the competition. But why?
Campaign for Clear Licensing Sets its Sights on IBM, SAP
The latest news surrounding IBM and SAP concerns their relationships with their respective customers. According to the Campaign for Clear Licensing (CCL), a not-for-profit group that campaigns on behalf of customers for clear and manageable software licensing programs, the two computing giants may have been less than forthcoming with their clients about their license terms and conditions.
Mitigating Homeland Cybersecurity with Software Licensing Optimization
The Department of Homeland Security's Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program is important if you are in charge of any sort of IT for a government agency, no matter how big or small. The regulation requires all governmental agencies to keep track of the devices on their networks that they may not own or have expected to be present, as well as the ones that should be present but have been noticeably absent for a while.
Flexera, Polycom Explore NFV and Software Monetization Trends at ITEXPO
The telecommunications industry is rapidly expanding and diversifying as consumers demand new technologies to enhance their services. By obliging, companies can enhance the experience they are able to deliver customers, offering a greater number of communications and service options, all of which feature upgraded quality, connectivity and collaborative opportunities. At the same time it benefits the customer, adding new technologies can also bring telecom businesses into the modern age, ensuring that they profit from their network function virtualization (NFV) strategies through the use of software monetization solutions.
Using CAL for Software License Management
In the software licensing sector, Client Access License, or CAL, is a software license distributed by software companies that enables clients to connect to its server software and take advantage of its services. Of course, maintaining compliance is no small undertaking, but Flexera Software simplifies the ins and outs of it all.
Accessible Software Licensing Benefits Everyone
Channel your inner Steve Jobs, software developers. And no, I'm not talking about design-I'm talking about software licensing.
Student Software Editions are Cheaper, but Beware Commercial Use Restrictions
Software licensing is complex and comes with oodles of fine print. But did you know that not adhering to that fine print exactly can earn you a lawsuit for copyright infringement?
Globetrotting Software Can Be a Legal Nightmare
Software licensing can be a minefield of small print and sneaky terms. And, one of the biggest bugaboos is geographic or territorial licensing restrictions. Procurement teams can spend months negotiating favorable terms in a license agreement, only to find out that the software they have purchased cannot be used throughout the entire global enterprise.
US Newspaper Turns to Software Licensing to Increase Revenue
When someone mentions a news agency, you probably imagine paper-strewn, open-floor offices, or swarms of reporters surrounding noteworthy people as they exit buildings and cars, or correspondents talking into video cameras outside barricades and inside studios filled with flat screens. But one thing you probably don't think of is the software built to support these organizations and the technologies involved.
Microsoft CAL Licensing Has Evolved Thanks to Cloud and BYOD
Software licensing can be a tricky prospect, and the cloud makes things even foggier when it comes to adhering to license requirements. Flexera Software has experience with this on both ends of the spectrum, since the company works to help enterprises comply with licensing agreements but also works with application developers on managing their software entitlements.
Is it Better to Start a Biz or License the Idea?
It starts with an idea. But what software developers do after they come up with the next killer app can make a huge difference. Does the maker start a business to sell the idea, or do they license the technology to an existing firm for faster time to market and a better chance at industry-wide adoption?
Microsoft Developer Licensing Administration Can Save Big Bucks
When it comes to developer licensing, keeping costs down is a top priority for making a go of the applications business. And sometimes it's the simple things that really make a big impact in this regard. Take, for instance, Microsoft Development Network (MSDN) subscriptions-depending on the size of one's organization, savvy management of these can avoid expensive mistakes.
Windows Enterprise Adapts Per-User Licensing Scheme
Microsoft recently updated its licensing terms for Windows Enterprise: as of Dec. 1 organizations can obtain volume licenses on a per-user basis instead of a per-device basis. This allows users to access Windows on any machine without having to pay for a separate license for each one, including devices that run the OS in virtualized mode.
How to Develop a Baseline for Software Licensing
When it comes to software licensing, it's all about the base…lining. Yes, the play on the Meghan Trainor has been done almost to death, but the reality is we all get it. There has to be a foundation. Meghan tells girls where to find theirs and your IT team needs to do the same. If you're looking at software compliance, you have to have a baseline.
FlexNet Licensing Adds Powerful Defenses Against Hackers
It's easy to worry about hackers these days. Every few days it seems there's some new bit of information about someone getting hacked; some business getting hit, some nude photos being taken, somebody who discovers he or she has a bundle of new credit cards, all of which have been maxed out already, and so on combine to set a very distressing picture for those concerned about hackers. Software licensing has similar concerns about hackers, and to that end, Flexera Software has brought out a new line of enhancements for its FlexNet Licensing system, which will provide what it calls a "ring of defense" around applications.
How to Avoid a Costly Oracle Audit
According to a recent report from Flexera Software and IDC, a whopping 85 percent of organizations queried were out of compliance with their software licensing agreements, while 63 percent of them had been audited in the past 18 to 24 months.

Software Maintenance Fees Imply You Get What You Pay For, But is This a Contradiction in Terms?
Computers have essentially made everyone's lives easier. So many things that once required a completely hands on approach can now be accomplished by various computer products. This is also true in the health industry, which includes dentistry. Dental software researcher SoftwareAdvice.com reported that dental offices overwhelmingly investigate the purchase of integrated software for business and clinical applications, but software for the integration of digital sensors is the most requested application.
Why Every Software Producer Needs Good Entitlement Management
One of the most important components of any software licensing scheme is entitlement management. While some software producers wonder why they might need a dedicated back-office application to facilitate licensing and entitlement management for the software they offer, these producers risk IP leakage, customer service issues and license overages if they do not.
App Revolution is Changing How Enterprise Software is Licensed
The consumerization of IT is manifesting itself as more than just bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies. The trend is also is affecting enterprise software itself, as employees are starting to demand that their enterprise solutions perform as simply as their consumer and BYOD software does already.

Stop Wasting Money: Enterprises Must Invest in Software Licensing Management
As the year comes to a close and enterprise businesses revisit their budgets, one area they may realize is hemorrhaging money is software. Why is this? Software licensing solutions providers Flexera Software recently teamed up with industry-analyst IDC to better understand the burden software licensing places on companies. Through their research, the firms found that one of the primary sources of lost dollars was "shelfware," which refers to compliance risk and software applications that were purchased but never used.
CCL Study Slams Oracle's Software Licensing Practices
Oracle has to do a much better job in its interactions with customers, according to a report by the Campaign for Clear Licensing (CCL). The "Key Risks in Managing Oracle Licensing" study found that only 8 percent of users said their relationship with Oracle was "acceptable." In the survey of 100 Oracle customers, 92 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed that communication from Oracle had been clear and straightforward.
Microsoft, Flexera Team Up to Improve Cloud App Migration
In the enterprise landscape, one of the most well-established cloud computing platforms is Microsoft Azure, which offers a secure and flexible environment from which organizations can implement sophisticated and demanding hosted solutions. But with the sudden rise of cloud-based applications and software, organizations also have encountered a need for cloud-based licensing and monetization models in order to take full advantage of all the cloud has to offer. For software manufacturers, it's crucial to be able to offer its customers easily accessible models.
Five Legal Issues Not-for-Profit App Developers Should Remember
Mobile apps serve as a more convenient and feature-laden method of accessing Internet content and tools, and at their core they are simply a specialized form of software. As a result non-profit app developers must consider many of the same issues that other software developers do, with the addition of several legal considerations that are unique to mobile apps.
Are 'Freemium' Sales Models Ideal for Software Licensing?
The concept of "freemium" sounds pretty good to those of us left holding the bill. How can we take advantage of key offerings and not have a large debt due at the end of the arrangement? At the same time, how does software licensing fit into the mix? After all, these companies need to make money, too.
Fallbrook Utility District OKs GIS Software Licensing Agreement
In March of last year, the Fallbrook Public Utility District (FPUD) and the Rainbow Municipal Water District were joined together to form what is now known as the North County Joint Powers Authority (JPA) as part of an initiative that serves the purpose of saving taxpayer money by unifying water utility companies in the region. To accomplish all of this, both agencies would transition towards a business model that shared employees and resources between them, eventually making their relationship tighter and interdependent.
Will License Upgrade Models Soon Be a Thing of the Past?
If your business has ever purchased the rights to use a particular software program, you're likely familiar with the license upgrade model. This is when a software distributor offers licensees the newest version of a product at a significantly reduced price, provided that users already own a full license for a qualifying, earlier version of the same product. For years, this software licensing model has worked, but that might be changing soon.
Microsoft Moves to Per-user Windows Software Licensing for Virtualized Access
A recent tech news report says Microsoft has entered a new phase of operations by licensing Windows on a per-user basis to businesses. The change in pricing model is not expected to make a huge impact on the market, but it is the first time the computing giant has dabbled in a sort of subscription service for its flagship platform.
GHD Uses Flexera Software's Enterprise Solutions to Optimize Software Spend
Proactively managing software licenses can be a daunting task for many organizations. In today's complex and ever-changing IT environments in particular, it is hard to ensure continued software license compliance. But that doesn't mean it's impossible; you just need the right solution.
Shelfware Got Your Software Licensing Down?
In a world where the cloud is gaining more attention, how should the enterprise make better use of its software investments and future spending? In many an organization, spending on enterprise software is feeling the squeeze and shelfware is running rampant. Will this change the future of software licensing?
Investigation into Government Corruption with Software Licensing Begins in Romania
The Romanian government's anti-corruption agency, known as the DNA, has launched an investigation into nine government ministers allegedly profiting from inflated pricing for Microsoft Windows software licenses. It is the latest incident in a country that has long suffered from unethical government practices.
Flexera Highlights Need for Software Licensing
Software licensing can be a complicated issue. One of the biggest challenges is not making compliance part of a regular routine in an asset management program. Part of this can include establishing a clear and concise software policy, which should help employees understand the value of software and learn the difference between legal and illegal use, as well as pledge their commitment to the proper use of software.
Deutsche Post DHL Lawyer Advocates for Basic-language Software Licenses
Deutsche Post DHL, the global shipping company synonymous with the red and yellow box vans and shipping containers, has a global base of approximately 480,000 employees. This means that it can afford to throw its weight around a bit. However, in the world of licensing, company executives still say they want to keep things simple and shy away from convoluted legal jargon.
Viglen Wins Major UK School Software Licensing Contract
The British IT firm Viglen announced that it has become part of the Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) education framework, allowing schools across the United Kingdom to easily license software.
Software Can Drive Incremental Revenue for Hardware Makers
As anyone who owns a smartphone knows, the value of a device now comes just as much from the software running the device as the device itself. While the Nokia Lumia may have a killer camera and good hardware, for instance, it does not have the success of a Samsung Galaxy or an Apple iPhone because its app ecosystem as a Windows Phone is far more limited.
Algoweb and London Capital Group May Strike a Software Licensing Deal
Algoweb, which develops technology for use in financial markets, may soon be entering into a software licensing agreement with spread betting and CFD provider London Capital Group (LCG).
Get the Most Out of Updating Licensed Software and Firmware
Updating official software is not only expensive, but it's a hassle too. For software and firmware developers making this process as simple as possible is key, yet difficult. With the upcoming Internet of Things, where more devices than ever are expected to connect to and use the Internet for improved service, this inconvenience has the potential to evolve into a nightmare of updates and re-installations.

Flexera Software recently announced the latest release of its FlexNet Manager Suite for Enterprises. The solution will not only help enterprises and organizations better comply with software licensing requirements, but also optimize their licensing to dramatically reduce money wasted on unnecessary licenses.
Westpac Opposes Proposed Australian IT Licensing
The Australian bank Westpac has testified to the government that a proposal in the country to license IT providers could hamper innovation, according to IT News.
Software Licensing Challenges Are Not Necessarily Technical
Organizational change can be difficult. Whether your business is large or small, many within it will be resistant to change, especially those who are most successful and thrive in the current state of affairs. In the classic book "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson, we learn that change is inevitable, and that we have to develop the right attitude about change. What offers more of a challenge is being the agent of change, or the expert on the change that needs to be done.
Consider the Many Benefits of Switching to the Cloud to Manage Software Licensing
There are many benefits to managing software licenses in the cloud-both for the enterprise customer as well as for the producer, who no longer needs to spend as much money on the creation and support for local license server capabilities, according to a blog post from Flexera Software.
Flexera Launches Solution with Support for Multiple Platforms
If one needs any more proof that the cloud is getting more popular all the time, that proof is coming in the form of a cloud-based company being purchased by IBM. Flexera is taking advantage of the growing popularity of the technology by introducing the InstallAnywhere 2014 Multi-Platform Installation for physical, virtual and cloud environments. Flexera is already one of the leading providers of next generation software licensing. Now the company is taking the next step when it comes to cloud providers.
Focusing on the Core Business is Important for Success
There have been many instances where companies start off with one service or product, branch out to new areas when there is a demand and finally, fail. While it is not wrong to expand and make the best use of business opportunities, it is also vital that the business focuses on its core services. These core services are what differentiate the company from others, and it is also the reason why customers come to do business. When the focus is taken away from this core service, quality suffers and this can shake the very foundation of the company.
Seven Factors Driving Software Licensing and Entitlement
Sometimes, the technical side of tech can be a bit opaque, but if one were to look at the tangible results from backend innovations the results are crystal clear. It is difficult for people to tie these business drivers back to the software licensing and entitlement from which they came.
Subscription Software Licensing Model Brings Added Revenue, Ongoing Sales Effort
For anyone who has been near a computer in the last five years, it comes as no surprise that subscription-based licensing is on the rise among software developers. Moving to a subscription-based licensing model is not the end of it, however; shifting from a perpetual license model to a subscription model requires a drastically different way of doing business.
Phases of Software Licensing and What They Mean for Startup Growth
There are many business cycles, but software as a service (SaaS) startups tend to go through two basic phases over the course of their healthy development-the Wildfire Phase and the Maturity Phase-according to the folks at Flexera Software. Neither phase is superior to the other nor is one more important than the other but differences during both phases can either make for unheard of success or simply spell doom for an SaaS company if the context of its growth is not fully understood.
Flexera Announces AdminStudio Suite 2014
IT departments in many advanced businesses have long used application readiness procedures for preparing and testing enterprise applications before they are placed into use by employees companywide. They have standardized procedures that work for a range of traditional applications, but those procedures may not always work well with mobile applications because of the transient nature of mobile devices.
Agile Development and Software Licensing: What's the Link?
The term "agile" by definition means to be "able to move quickly and easily." In terms of software, the idea of agile development simply means that approaches to software development help businesses respond to unpredictability. Basically, agile development is a different way of managing IT development teams and projects.
Concept Searching Joins Canada's Software Licensing Supply Arrangement
Management software company Concept Searching has been approved by Canadian government bodies to deploy its products among its workforce.
Does the Internet of Things Have Right Focus?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is projected to result in some 50 billion connected devices and IoT solutions, which will total about $7.1 trillion by 2020.
Microsoft Announces the Global Availability of MPSA
The global availability of information and communications technology (ICT) has increased the customer base for software companies, and addressing this market requires adapting some of the processes that are in place. During the recent Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC), the company announced it is expanding to more countries with its Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (MPSA).
Flexera Obtains BMC's Technology Alliance Program Validation
Flexera Software is a company that helps application producers and enterprises increase application usage and the value they derive from their software by providing services such as software licensing management and software compliance, as well as installation and application packaging solutions.
Study: Enterprises Not Monitoring Virtualization Licenses
A recent report from Flexera Software shows that many enterprises are not properly managing their license agreements as they apply to virtualization, and as a result they are suffering from penalties due to misuse.
Minimizing the Impact of a Software Audit
Modern enterprises are built upon a plethora of software, each one requiring a license agreement that, after a while, can become lost in a maze of contracts. Software auditing has become a major factor in enforcing these agreements as well as providing a source of income for the companies who perform them and charge fees for discrepancies that are found.
Software Licensing Tensions Mount Between Developers and the Enterprise
Virtualization holds a variety of promises for organizations-promises so strong that management put a strategy in place to shift the entire approach to information management. In the process, the plan is to copy machines and duplicate systems on virtual platforms. The enterprise will have everything it needs to run the business and enjoy the virtual benefits - everything except the right software licensing.
Many Roles Can Fill Software Asset Management Teams
In order to properly control software-related costs and resources, many businesses are creating software asset management teams to handle the day-to-day usage of software within their ranks. These teams are often responsible for the entire lifecycle of all software solutions their businesses utilize, and various individuals may be responsible for purchasing, installing, maintaining, and disposing of a number of products.
Openness of GNU Scaring Away Businesses?
The GNU General Public License, or GPL, is a free software license that allows end users the ability to use, share, and modify the software. It has become a staple of many organizations' software packages, and as Infoworld has pointed out, it has become important to the functioning of many IT departments.
2013 Global Software Survey Produces Shocking Unlicensed Software Statistics
Eighty-one percent of software installed on PCs in Nigeria last year was not licensed, according to the 2013 Global Software Survey released by BSA | The Software Alliance (BSA). The study cited the commercial value of unlicensed software in Nigeria reached more than $287 million in 2013. Overall, the Middle East and Africa unlicensed software value surpassed $4.3 billion in 2013.
Software Update Solutions Improve Overall Performance, Cut Costs
The software we have in our smartphones, tablets, PCs and servers is what makes it possible for us to communicate, play and work. The more efficient the software, the better we are able to do those things without any glitches. If, on the other hand, there are any issues with the software, it can result in a smartphone not making a call or a server not delivering the emails to employees, with the real possibility of more catastrophic scenarios.
Flexera Software App Portal for the Modern Workforce
To fulfill the need for rapid software distribution and enhanced visibility into software asset management, Flexera Software has introduced the interface redesign of App Portal, an industry-leading enterprise app store. App Portal enables the reclamation of unused software for users and avoids overspending on expensive enterprise software licenses.
Software Patents Need to Get Specific, Says Supreme Court
The issue of patents in the software arena has been a tough one to follow for some time. There's a lot of back and forth, as major companies duke it out and the various non-practicing entities-less charitably known as "patent trolls"-getting involved in the issue. But a new decision from the Supreme Court is about to make things a little more interesting throughout the entire sphere of patent law, as the Court found that software patents that don't cover a specific software process can't be valid.
Issues with Mobile Software Licenses Could Lead to Legal Challenges
Issues with mobile software licenses could lead to legal challenges. Already, software licenses for mobile users could cause issues for enterprises unless a compromise can be reached with vendors, a top Forrester Research analyst announced recently in London.
Apple's Latest IoT Venture Turns Manufacturers' Heads
According to Vikram Koka of Flexera Software, if you're in the hardware manufacturing business, then you need to make like Apple and get in on the IoT action now.
Software Piracy 'Bytes' Back: Engineering Design Company Fined Over $55k
There's no substitute for professional licensed software. While free knock-off versions of most popular products exist, they are often poor substitutes. Programs like OpenOffice, for instance, simply do not have the same range of options as Microsoft Word. However, these programs are expensive, and many businesses try to get around these costs by illegally downloading the software in the hopes that they won't get caught.
What to Look for in a Software License Optimization Tool
Software is at the heart of nearly every business, and for larger firms this fact can be problematic. Having the correct software licensing can be both a chore and a financial liability in the case of software licensing audits.
Licensing, Entitlement Management Important for Monetizing IoT
In a recent projection, IDC says the worldwide IoT market will increase by more than $5 trillion over the next six years. As of last year, the worldwide IoT market was about $1.9 trillion, according to IDC, and it will likely reach $7.1 trillion by 2020.
Australian Enterprises Becoming 'Accidental Software Pirates'?
Is your enterprise a software pirate? Companies can find themselves paying thousands, even millions, if they aren't careful about staying up to date with their software license agreements. A recent survey of Australian enterprises, conducted by a partnership between Flexera Software and IDC, has revealed that a vast amount of Australian organizations have fallen out of compliance with software license agreements.
Federal Government's Rising Software Licensing Costs Parallel Similar Problems in Private Sector
To say that managing software licenses for large organizations is a complex task would be the ultimate understatement. Software can be licensed by the seat, number of concurrent users and number of server processors. Site, multiplexing and clustering are also ways to license software. These are challenging enough to track without including mobile use and software run in the cloud.
How is Licensing Changing the Open Source Landscape?
About 30 experts in the legal aspects of open source technology recently began a discussion about how the precedents that apply to open source software are not as applicable, nor do they help to draw analogies in the nascent fields of open source hardware and open databases. While some similarities apply, especially in terms of utility and uniformity, there are many differences that are easily dealt with in open source software but pose more difficult problems in the cases of open source hardware and open databases.
Simulations Plus Ends Licensing Agreement with TSLR
Licensing agreements are sometimes terminated, as is the case between Simulations Plus, Inc., a provider of simulation and modeling software for pharmaceutical discovery and development, and TSRL, Inc., a Michigan-based corporation.
InstallShield 2014 Supports Diverse Software Installations
Not too long ago, people generally had a desktop or a laptop, and installing software on these devices was not that complicated. However, today applications can be installed on smartphones, tablets, cloud and virtualized instances as well as high-DPI displays, touch devices and agile development. Without the right application usage management (AUM) solution things can get complicated for regular users, which can result in the wrong instance of the application being installed on the device.
Software Has the Potential to Grow Fast, But How Can Providers Remain at the Top?
Having a product or service that has the potential to grow is a good thing for companies who want to become a household name, but the race to the top is all for not if there isn't staying power to maintain revenue streams and reputation.
New Study Finds Growth is the Key to Software Success
McKinsey & Company recently published an interesting article about what it takes in the software industry to reach dramatic success. It analyzed roughly 3,000 software firms and looked for key attributes, and what it found was that growth is the critical factor.
Monetizing the Internet of Things
IoT is all-encompassing because it enables different devices to communicate with each other to improve the overall standard of living of the people. For this reason, the IoT market is projected to be around $1.9 trillion by the end of this decade, and many companies are preparing to have a share in this huge pie.

Andre´s 5 star hostel!
Trip Start
Sep 23, 2010
Trip End
Jul 13, 2012
Where I stayed
Andre�s 5 Star Hostel
Woke up around 8am and had breakfast of cheese & ham toasties, tea and fruit. Andre had a few errands to do so we went with him and Ana for the ride and an intro to Sorocaba. We went back at lunchtime where Ana prepared us spag bol, then she had to go to work whilst Andre went to the doctors with his bad knee. We stayed at the flat and did some washing, and then relaxed. Later in the evening we went down to the pastelaria for something to eat and to meet up with Abreu, his wife Danielle and thier daughter Marie. When we got back we watched the Disney�s Princess and the Frog and got to bed around 12.30.
11th Nov.
Got up early, had breakfast and then went to a tattooist to watch Ana get a tattoo on her shoulder blade. She had her daughters name and a picture of a cartoon girl surrounded by stars. We then headed back for some lunch which was spicy chicken and beef with onions, rice and salad. Andre had work in the afternoon and Ana went home to see her daughter so we had the place to ourselves. We decided to take Nega for a walk, or rather Nega took us for a walk, 40kg of pure rottweiller muscle (that�s two thirds of my weight!). We were out for around an hour and walked down to the river and back, every dog we past barked at her but she didn�t give then a second glance and was as good as gold. When we got back we showered and settled down to the movie The Crow, Branden Lee�s last movie. Afterwards we walk round to Andre�s Pastelaria for some pizza for dinner. We waited until Andre shut shop and he then drove us back to his flat where we watched the movie Crash with Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon, then got to bed around 1.30am.
12th Nov.
A quick look out of the window confirms a pretty misrible looking day so we took our time getting up and spent the day lazing around watching TV. Ana made Noche for lunch which was very nice and as it brightened up in the afternoon we took the dog for a walk whilst Andre and Ana slept. We decided to eat in this evening as we weren�t very hungry and had an egg toastie, then watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
13th Nov.
Got up about 9am with a plan to go to the Zoo, so we had breakfast and then drove to Ana�s mum�s house to collect her daughter Maria then headed to the shop to buy groceries for dinner. On the way to the Zoo, the clutch went on Andre�s car, he asked a friend around the corner who adjusted it as much as he could but it wasn�t good enough to drive far. So we limped round a few more and found a garage that could fix it. As it would take 4 hours to fix, Andre stayed with the car and we caught 3 buses back to his flat. It was soon lunchtime and while we entertained Maria with the film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, (this time in Portuguese) Ana prepared some lunch. We walked Nega in the afternoon, while Ana went to work and Andre slept.
14th Nov
Big day today! After some breakfast I helped Andre carry an industrial pizza oven up stairs into the kitchen so that we can cook roast beef and all the trimmings for Andre, Ana, Maria, Abreu, Danelle & Maria. Almost every thing went to plan except the Yorkshire puddings, as we didn't have any pudding baking tins we had to make do with a round one so it ended up like a flat pizza. Everyone seemed to enjoy it though (although Ana missed her rice!) and I think the favourite was the roast potatoes! Abreu's wife brought a pineapple and coconut cream cake for dessert which finished the meal off lovely. Suitably stuffed we spent the afternoon watching DVD's then had a light tea and off early to bed as we had a 6.45am start tomorrow morning.
15th Nov
Early start this morning as we had made arrangements to meet Abreu at the bus terminal at 7.30am to head into Sao Paulo. An 1hr 20m bus journey (& R$32) later we were in the city and catching the metro to the Municipal Market. As it was a bank holiday, Abreu commented that it was quite quiet (I'd hate to think what it was like on a normal day as to us it looked pretty busy!). The market is in a beautiful building with stained glass windows of farmers sowing their crops and so many stalls with all sorts of fruit, vegetables, lotions and potions. We then walked to the Municipal Theatre and cathedral, which were both impressive and then had coffee and tea in the oldest coffee shop in Sao Paulo before catching the metro to the Japonese district, Liberdade. The Japonese garden was closed but yo9u got quite strong Japonese vibe from the streets. Next stop on the metro was Avenida Paulista where there is a beautiful park opposite a very modern looking museum. We had some lunch in a local lanchanet. I had calabresa sausage and Cat had steak and cheese sandwiches. On our way back to the metro via some more impressive buildings, we saw a student protest over, we think the government canceling some exams. Then we returned to Sorocaba for panquetes at Andre's pastelaria and then to bed.
16th Nov.
Had a nice lie after along day in the city yesterday. After breakfast Andre drove us to Ana's to collect her and Maria and off to the zoo we went (again!). Although small, we saw anteaters, hippos and elephants among other animals. In the afternoon we stopped off at a food stall and had the best chocolate waffles on a stick. It's great hanging out with a local as they know the best places to eat! We then dropped off Maria and then Ana had to go to work. We then went to collect Andre's children (Sophia and Arthur) from school and took them to a shopping mall to visit Papa Noel (Santa Claus) and have fun in a children's arcade. After some dinner at Andre's he drove his children home and us to the bus station to catch our bus to Foz do Iguacu. At 9pm we settled in on the bus and tried to get some sleep.

An analytical approach to estimating aberrations in curved multilayer optics for hard x-rays: 1. Derivation of caustic shapes
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 16, pp. 12050-12059 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (277 KB)
An analytical approach has been developed to derive aberration effects in parabolic and elliptic multilayer optics with weak interaction between photons and matter. The method is based on geometrical ray tracing including refraction effects up to the first order of the refractive index decrement δ. In the parabolic case, the derivation leads to simple parametric equations for the caustic shape. In the elliptic case, the analytical results more involved, but can be well approximated by the parabolic solution. Both geometries are compared with regard to the fundamental impact on their focusing properties.
