Epom has presented 1Q, 2013 Epom UniMobile efficiency report. The released data cover the changes in publishers´ revenue, influenced by the implementation of UniMobile technology, specifically created for monetization of mobile traffic on display webpages.
(PRWEB) April 07, 2013
The average publisher revenue increase, concerning the non-optimized for mobile sites, is estimated around 48% in 1Q, 2013, according to Epom ad serving company report.
Epom, the international ad serving and ad management solution provider, has presented 1Q, 2013 Epom UniMobile efficiency report. The released data, in particular, cover the changes in publishers´ revenue, influenced by the implementation of UniMobile technology, specifically created for monetization of mobile traffic on display webpages.
In this respect, the average profit growth is estimated at approximately 48% among Epom clients, according to the report. Namely, the most significant changes are attributed to regions in Asia (68%), Latin America (65%) and Eastern Europe (59%), from the geographical perspective. As for the niche aspect, the most visible revenue enhancement in 1Q, 2013 is distinguished in the "Entertainment" (51% on average) and "E-Retail" (48, 5%) sectors.
According to Anton Ruin, Epom CEO in Ukraine, admits, the acquired results, reflected in the company´s 1Q, 2013 report, have got profound reasoning. "It´s clear that the largest alternations in revenue are tracked in regions where the mobile device consumption is increasing faster than the paste of mobile site version creation. Thus, it´s no surprise that Asian countries are ahead in the growth of non-optimized for mobile sites´ revenue", he claims.
As for the overall perspectives of Epom UniMobile future modifications, Mr. Ruin is confident that these will be introduced soon. "Even now, we´ve managed to make the technology incredible by all means, as it enables our clients to get the decent eCPM rates from mobile traffic on non-optimized websites. Yet, this doesn´t mean we´re ready stop, so get prepared for the newly-added features in the upcoming months," he smiles.

Super Saturday in the Star City to feature TAMC Fall Health Fair, Harvest Bazaar, and Centennial Ball
AROOSTOOK COUNTY- A full day and evening of activity in Presque Isle on October 13 will match the name event organizers have given it. Super Saturday in the Star City will bring together The Aroostook Medical Center's (TAMC) annual fall health fair, a number of local history presentations, community open houses, a grand opening, city trolley tours, a harvest bazaar, and a centennial ball to raise funds for local children's healthcare.
The events are coordinated by staff and volunteers at The Aroostook Medical Center as part of the non-profit healthcare organization's ongoing celebration of 100 years of service to the region. Several area businesses and organizations have joined in the effort to host Super Saturday events, which are open to the public and, with the exception of the ball, free of charge.
Activities get underway on Oct. 13 at 8 a.m. with TAMC's Fall Health Fair: A Tribute to History, Harvest, and Health. For the first time ever, the event will be held at TAMC's North Street Healthcare facility in downtown Presque Isle. In addition to the new location and fitting theme in this significant milestone year, the fall health fair has been expanded to include fellow North Street neighbors and a more festive feel.
"We're really looking at throwing a block party on North Street," said Jason Parent, TAMC director of advancement. "We have several partners working with us to make this an exciting day that will have something for everyone. It is shaping up to be our largest health fair ever."
Like past TAMC health fairs, the fall 2012 edition will offer free flu shots and dozens of interactive booths featuring health services and products offered locally. Nursing students from Northern Maine Community College will also participate by presenting several educational health topics they have studied and prepared displays and activities to demonstrate to the public.
The flu shots and more than 40 booth spaces will be set up in the currently unutilized space formerly occupied by Smythe's IGA adjacent to what is now TAMC North Street Healthcare. Attendees will access the space through the same external doors used for the walk-in clinic. This year's health fair is sponsored in part by Graves Family Supermarkets.
The entire North Street facility will come alive as well. The official grand opening of LiveWell United, which specializes in Zumba and massage therapy, will take place during the health fair and into the afternoon with free demonstrations and an open house of the new facility. County Physical Therapy will also host an open house with various demonstrations and offers on special classes offered at its Presque Isle site.
Also joining in on the action will be TAMC's nephrology services and County Dialysis, who will offer free fall refreshments in the area on the side walk in front of the area between their respective entrances at the North Street facility. Pat's Pizza will be open that morning and through the remainder of the day offering special deals to Super Saturday attendees.
The honor of giving away the TAMC commemorative five pound, specially designed bags filled with potatoes will be reserved for the staff at TAMC patient accounts, which is also located at the North Street complex. The artist who designed the artwork on the front of the bag, Robb Johnston of Presque Isle, will join with the team at patient accounts to autograph each bag as it is given away. Bags of potatoes will be given at no charge to the first 700 attendees who present an official program showing they have visited different areas of the North Street facility.
Four different presentations on local history and culture will also be offered free to the public on Super Saturday. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. the sessions will be held in the Aroostook Pediatrics and Family Practice and Internal Medicine waiting rooms at North Street Healthcare.
Included will be historical discussions on the lives of two leaders who are closely linked with TAMC. A presentation on the "Life and Times of A.R. Gould," for whom TAMC's main facility is named, will be led by Kim Smith of the Presque Isle Historical Society beginning at 9:15 a.m. The family of Phinneas Ellis, the first administrator of then Presque Isle General Hospital, will speak on his incredible life story and have copies of a book published on his life available for sale at their presentation beginning at 11 a.m.
Tim Caverly, a former park ranger, manager, and supervisor and author of the Allagash Tails Collection, will give a talk on his work and discoveries as he brought the series of books together. Also presenting will be Richard Rand, of Presque Isle, who will lead a discussion, which will include a demonstration of potato harvesting the old fashioned way for folks of all ages to enjoy.
History buffs and others will also have the opportunity to take special charter tours on the Presque Isle Historical Society's Molly the Trolley on Super Saturday. Departing from the area in front of County Dialysis at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1 p.m., the free tours will take passengers on a narrative drive-by of local sites significant to the history of health care in the Star City.
Beginning at 11 a.m., Super Saturday attendees will enjoy the "Sweets in Moderation Bake Sake and Harvest Bazaar" in the parking lot at North Street. The first time event, coordinated by Social Envy Image and Event Consulting, as a fundraiser for the Aroostook County Branch of the Pine Tree Chapter of the American Red Cross, will showcase a number of vendors, and over a dozen area bakers, offering delicious confections. In addition fun activities for kids and live music is planned to run through 3 p.m.
Booth spaces at the Sweets in Moderation Bake Sale and Harvest Bazaar are free of charge. Vendors may select to donate either all or a portion of the day's proceeds to support the efforts of the Red Cross. Anyone interested in reserving a space or hosting a special activity for the event should contact Social Envy Image and Event Consulting at 551-0763, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, and also on Facebook at facebook.com/socialenvy.
The evening activities will move from North Street to the Crow's Nest Event Center on Maysville Street in Presque Isle beginning at 6 p.m. The TAMC Centennial Ball, an elegant evening to mark 100 years of excellent health care service to the region and to raise funds for children's health care at TAMC, will feature a social and cocktail hour sponsored by WAGM-TV, a five course meal, silent and live auctions, and dancing to the popular Jump City Jazz Band.
The central Maine-based Jump City Jazz Band, sponsored for the coming evening by Town Square Media of Presque Isle, has built quite a following in Aroostook County. Their popular mix of jazz, rock, pop and other genres of music has delighted local crowds at an Adult Prom event in Fort Kent in spring 2011, and at last October's Harvest Ball in Presque Isle. Attendees of both events have already purchased tickets for the TAMC Centennial Ball so they can again enjoy the band's music.
Tickets for the Centennial Ball are $100 per couple or $50 per person. Proceeds will support the purchase of Dash Monitors for use in TAMC's nursery. When newborns require 24-hour care, dash monitors provide care givers the reliability and constant monitoring of vital signs which aid in the delivery of care. These monitors capture vital patient measurements such as heart rate, respiratory, blood pressure and temperature which enhance the care of our tiniest patients.

The Balearic Islands region
If you think you know about Ibiza - think again.
If all you know of this magical Mediterranean island is its clubbing and party reputation be prepared to be very surprised.
Nowhere is a better example of the magic and charm of Ibiza, than in the north of the island. This really is a fascinating part of the island, day or night, where you'll encounter a concentration of all the attractions and eccentricities which have made Ibiza world famous.
Sant Joan De Labritja
Ibizas northern coast is the quiet, introverted sister to the more populated bustling south yet it is every bit as beautiful... if not more so. Tucked away behind deep green pine covered hills this is an exquisitly serene side to the island few get to experience. The northern coast offers quiet beaches, charming towns and picturesque white fincas dotted across the mountainside.
The small villages of San Joan and San Carlos offer a lifestyle that appears unchanged for centuries. Life moves at a sedate pace and visitors are warmly welcomed. Visitors to Ibiza will never grasp its true spirit without a trip to this enchanted region.

"Rural heaven"
We spent 5 weeks here and the accommodation made the holiday. Beautiful setting yet close to beaches, restaurants and walks. It was bliss to wake up every morning to the sound of cockerels crowing, the sunrise over the hills behind the house and then to step out into the pretty garden. A short walk down the lane brings you to civilisation and Wi-Fi if you want it but escape up the lane to get away from everything. Host Mark could not have been more friendly and helpful with lots of tips and ideas to enhance our holiday further. We shall definitely return.

"A wonderful stay!"
We stayed for 3 nights in July 2013 and couldn't have wished for more from our Ibiza trip. Owner Mark is a born host with a brilliant combination of being attentive and relaxed at the same time. He also came up with great suggestions of places to visit. Las Joyitas is well-located, (just a short drive to Benniras beach) really charming with a lovely garden and relaxed outside area and simple, well-equipped interiors. We loved our stay.

"Magical space and lovely relaxed host"
Las Joyitas is a couple of nicely decorated, simple but pretty apartments set in a magical garden, filled with beautiful morning glory, sunflowers and cosmos. Mark is a delight and we really enjoyed meeting him, and sharing the space with him. I wouldn't plan to do a lot of cooking in the kitchen which is small -- better is the BBQ outside. The apartment is a drive away from nearest beaches, but the apartment has a great terrace for lounging, is surrounded by fig trees and grape vines dripping with fruit, and is set in beautiful countryside. Loved it.

John Chilembwe
Reverend John Chilembwe (1871 – February 3, 1915) was a Baptist pastor and educator, who trained as a minister in the United States, returning to Nyasaland in 1901. He was an early figure in the resistance to colonialism, in Nyasaland (Malawi), opposing both the treatment of Africans working in agriculture on European-owned plantations and the colonial government's failure to promote the social and political advancement of Africans. Soon after the outbreak of the First World War, Chilembwe organised an unsuccessful uprising against colonial rule. Today, Chilembwe is celebrated as a hero for independence, and John Chilembwe Day is observed annually on January 15 in Malawi.

Early life[edit]
There is limited information about John Chilembwe's parentage and birth. An American pamphlet of 1914 claimed that John Chilembwe was born in Sangano, in the south of what became Nyasaland, in June, 1871. Joseph Booth also stated that Chilembwe's father was a Yao and his mother a Mang'anja slave, captured in warfare. This information was contemporary; in the 1990s, John Chilembwe's granddaughter stated that Chilembwe's father may have been called Kaundama, and was one of those who settled at Mangoche Hill during the Yao infiltration into Mang'anja territory, and that his mother may have been called Nyangu: his likely pre-baptismal name was Nkologo. However, other also quite recent sources give differing parental names.[1] Chilembwe attended a Church of Scotland mission from around 1890.
Influence of Joseph Booth[edit]
In 1892 he became a house servant of Joseph Booth, a radical and independently-minded missionary. Booth had arrived in Africa in 1892 as a Baptist to establish the Zambezi Industrial Mission near Blantyre. Booth was critical of the reluctance of Scottish Presbyterian missions to admit Africans as full church members, and later founded seven more independent missions in Nyasaland which, like the Zambezi Industrial Mission, focused on the equality of all worshippers. In Booth's household and mission where he was closely associated with Booth, Chilembwe became acquainted with Booth's radical religious ideas and egalitarian feelings.[2][3]
Booth left Nyasaland with Chilembwe in 1897; he returned to Nyasaland alone in 1899 but left permanently in 1902, although he continued to correspond with Chilembwe. After 1906, Booth was strongly influenced by Millennialism, but the extent to which he retained influence over Chilembwe after 1902 and influenced him towards millennial beliefs is disputed, although he strongly influenced Elliot Kenan Kamwana, the first leader of the Watchtower followers of Charles Taze Russell in Nyasaland.[4][5]
Education in the United States and religious ideas[edit]
In 1897 Booth and Chilembwe traveled together to the United States. Here, after parting amicably from Booth, Chilembwe attended the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, (now Virginia University of Lynchburg), a small Baptist institution at Lynchburg, Virginia. The principal was a militantly independent Negro, Gregory Hayes and Chilembwe both experienced the contemporary prejudice against negroes and was exposed to radical American Negro ideas and the works of John Brown, Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey and others. He was ordained as a Baptist minister at Lynchburg in 1899.[6][7]
After his return to Nyasaland, Chilembwe developed close contacts with independent African churches, including Seventh Day Baptist and Churches of Christ congregations, with the aim of uniting some or all of these African churches with his own mission church at the centre.[8] Chilembwe also had some contact with Watchtower followers, but the extent of these and the influence of Watchtower's millennial beliefs on him is minimised by most authors except the Lindens.[9][10][11] Although the vast majority of those found guilty of rebellion and sentenced to death or to long terms of imprisonment were members of Chilembwe's church, a few other members of the Churches of Christ in Zomba were also found guilty.[12]
Return to Nyasaland and mission work[edit]
In 1900 Chilembwe returned to Nyasaland, in his own words, "to labour amongst his benighted race". Backed financially the National Baptist Convention of America who also provided two American Baptist helpers until 1906, Chilembwe started his Providence Industrial Mission (P.I.M.) in Chiradzulu district. In its first decade, the mission developed slowly, assisted by regular small donations from his American backers, and Chilembwe founded several schools, which by 1912 had 1,000 pupils and 800 adult students.
He preached the values of hard-work, self-respect and self-help to his congregation and, although as early as 1905 he used his church position to deplore the condition of Africans in the protectorate, he initially avoided specific criticism of the government that might be thought subversive. However, by 1912 or 1913, Chilembwe had become more politically militant and openly voiced criticism over the state of African land rights in the Shire Highlands and of the conditions of labour tenants there, particularly on the A. L. Bruce Estates.[13]
Colonial grievances[edit]
In the Shire Highlands, the most densely populated part of the protectorate, European estates occupied about 867,000 acres, or over 350,000 hectares, almost half of the best arable land. Relatively few local Africans remained on the estates when the owners introduced labour rents, preferring to settle on Crown Land where customary law entitled them to use (sometimes overcrowded) land belonging to the community, or to become migrant workers.[14][15] However, planters with large areas of available land but limited labour could engage migrants from Mozambique (who had no right to use community lands) on terms that Nyasaland Africans found unacceptable.[16] These were called "Anguru", a convenient term employed by Europeans to describe as a number of different peoples, mostly speaking one of the Makua languages, often the Lomwe language, who themselves used various names to refer to their places of origin in Mozambique. They left Mozambique in significant numbers from 1899 when a harsh new labour code was introduced, and especially in 1912 and 1913 after a Mozambique famine in 1912. In 1912, the British Colonial Office described them as working for such low wages as were "a record for any settled part of Africa". Many of those convicted after the rising were identified as "Anguru".[17]
Conditions on the estates where the "Anguru" became tenants were generally poor, and Africans both on estates and Crown Lands were subjected to an increase in Hut tax in 1912, despite food shortages. P.I.M. was situated in an area dominated by the A L Bruce Estates, named after a son-in-law of David Livingstone. From 1906, A. L. Bruce Estates developed and started to plant a hardy variety of cotton suitable for the Shire Highlands. Cotton required intensive labour over a long growing period, and the estate manager William Jervis Livingstone (reputed to be a distant relative of David Livingstone) ensured that 5,000 workers were available throughout its 5 or 6 month by exploiting the obligations of the labour tenancy system called thangata, underpaying wage labour and by coercion.[18] Alexander Livingstone Bruce, who controlled the A L Bruce Estates operations, instructed Livingstone (who was only the salaried manager and as such had to carry out his bosses orders),not to allow schools to be opened on the Bruce Estates. However the estates did, through the company provide free medical and hospital treatment for all its workers [19] and during the famine William Livingstone did open all his grain stores to feed the workers.
The considered view of Alexander Livingstone Bruce was that he had a vast estate to oversee, and his principal concern was to make it a paying concern having invested heavily in clearing and planting crops such as cotton, coffee and tobacco. He recorded his personal dislike for Chilembwe, and considered all African-led mission churches were centres for potential agitation, and so prohibited building them on the estate. Although this prohibition applied to all missions, P.I.M. was the closest, and became a natural focus for African agitation; Chilembwe became the spokesman for African tenants on the Bruce Estates. Chilembwe then knowingly provoked confrontation by erecting churches on estate land, which William Livingstone was ordered to burn down because his boss considered them as centres for agitation against the management.[20] William Livingstone's wife Kitty, as a teacher herself, was instrumental in helping to educate her own staff, teaching them to read and write.
Reaction to the colonial system[edit]
Chilembwe was angered by Livingstone's refusal to allow mission churches. He was also frustrated by the refusal of the settlers and government to provide suitable opportunities or a political voice to the African "new men", who had been educated by the Presbyterian and other missions in Nyasaland or in some cases had received a higher education abroad. A number of such men became Chilembwe's lieutenants in the rising.[21][22]
Although in his first decade at P.I.M., Chilembwe had been reasonably successful, in the five years before his death, he faced a series of problems in the mission and in his personal life and was known to be in monetary debt to several friends of his. From around 1910, he then incurred several debts at a time when mission expenses were rising and funds from his American backers were drying up. Attacks of asthma, the death of a daughter, and his declining eyesight and general health may have deepened his sense of alienation and desperation.[23]
Background to the 1915 Uprising[edit]
The sources cited above agree that, after 1912 or 1913 the series of social and personal issues mentioned increased Chilembwe's bitterness toward Europeans in Nyasaland, and moved him towards thoughts of revolt. However, they treat the outbreak and effects of the First World War as the key factor in moving him from thought to planning to take action, which he believed it was his destiny to lead, for the deliverance of his people.[24][25] In the course of this war, some 19,000 Nyasaland Africans served in the King's African Rifles, and up to 200,000 served as porters for varying periods, mostly in the East African Campaign against the Germans in Tanganyika, and disease caused many casualties.[26] One of the earliest campaigns, a German invasion of Nyasaland and a battle at Karonga in September 1914 caused Chilembwe to write an impassioned letter against the war to the "Nyasaland Times" newspaper, saying that a number of his countrymen, "have already shed their blood", others were being "crippled for life" and "invited to die for a cause which is not theirs". The war-time censor prevented publication of the letter, and by December 1914, Chilembwe was regarded with suspicion by the colonial authorities.[27] Censoring this letter by the Colonial Administration was one of the last straws for Chilembwe, and finally drove him to plan drastic action.
Not actually deporting Chilembwe - which would have been the better course of action - the Governor investigated deporting him and some of his followers, and had apparently approached the Mauritius government asking them to accept the deportees a few days before the rising started. It is a fact though that William Livingstone, a whole year earlier, had repeatedly warned his local District Commissioner of potential insurrection and none of his warnings had been heeded. It is known that the District Commissioner had Chilembwe closely watched, yet refused to take any preventative action against him in order to protect the local population. Unquestionably, it was the censoring of Chilembwe's letter that appeared to be the final trigger moving him to an actual conspiracy, forgetting at this time he was a man of the church. He began organising a rebellion, gathering together a small group of Africans, educated either at the Blantyre Mission or the schools of the independent, separatist African churches in the Shire Highlands and Ncheu District, as his lieutenants. In a series of meetings held in December 1914 and early January 1915, Chilembwe and his leading followers aimed at attacking British rule generally and supplanting it, if possible. However, it is possible that he learned of his intended deportation, and was forced to bring forward the date of his revolt, making the prospects of its success more unlikely, and turning it into a symbolic gesture of protest.[28] When he brought forward the date of the Shire Highlands rising, Chilembwe was unable to ensure that it could still be coordinated with the planned rising in the Ntcheu District, which was therefore largely abortive.[29] The failure in Ncheu District may also relate to the pacifism of many Seventh Day Baptist and Watchtower followers who were expected to rise there.[30]
1915 Uprisings and death[edit]
The aims of the rising remain unclear, partly because Chilembwe and many of his leading supporters were killed, and also because many documents were destroyed in a fire in 1919. However, use of the theme of "Africa for the Africans" suggests a political motive rather than a purely millennial religious one.[31] Chilembwe is believed to have drawn parallels between his rising and that of John Brown, and stated his wish to "strike a blow and die" immediately before the rising started.[32][33]
The first part of Chilembwe's plan was to attack European centres in the Shire Highlands on the night between the 23rd and 24 January 1915, to obtain arms and ammunition, and the second was to attack European estates in the same area simultaneously. Most of Chilembwe's force of about 200 men were from his P.I.M congregations in Chiradzulu and Mlanje, with some support from other independent African churches in the Shire Highlands. In the third part of the plan, the forces of the Ncheu revolt based on the local independent Seventh Day Baptists would move south to link up with Chilembwe. He hoped that discontented Africans on European estates, relatives of soldiers killed in the war and others would join as the rising progressed.[34] It is uncertain if Chilembwe had definite plans in the event of failure; some suggest he would seek a symbolic death, others that he planned to escape to Mozambique.[35][36] The first and third parts of the plan failed almost completely: some of his lieutenants did not carry out their attacks, so few arms were obtained, the Ncheu group had failed to form and move south, and there was no mass support for the rising.
The attack on European estates was largely one on the Bruce estates at Magomero, where William Jervis Livingstone was murdered and beheaded in front of his wife, small daughter Nyasa (5 years old) and infant baby Alastair then only 6 months old; two other European employees were also murdered - Duncan MacCormick from the Isle of Lismore (like William), and Robert Ferguson. Three Africans were also killed by the rebels, and European-run mission was set on fire and a missionary was severely wounded. All the dead and injured were men, as Chilembwe had ordered that women should not be harmed. In wholly unchristian act, on 24 January, a Sunday, Chilembwe conducted a service in the Providence Industrial Mission church next to a pole where Livingstone's head was impaled - a macabre and gruesome incident in the extreme - especially where a man of the church was instrumental in its implementation. But by 26 January Chilembwe realised that his uprising had failed to gain local support. After avoiding attempts to capture him by the King's African Rifles when apparently trying to escape into Mozambique, he was tracked down and killed on 3 February 1915.
Aftermath of the Uprising[edit]
Most of Chilembwe's leading followers and some other participants in the rising were executed after summary trials under Martial law shortly after it failed. The total number of those killed is unclear, because extrajudicial killings were carried out by European members of the Nyasaland Volunteer Reserve.[37][38][39]
A Commission of Enquiry into Chilembwe's uprising was appointed and, at its hearings in June 1915, the European planters blamed missionary activities while European missionaries emphasised the dangers of the teaching and preaching by independent African churches like those led by Chilembwe. Several Africans who gave evidence complained about the treatment of workers on estates. The official enquiry needed to find causes for the rising which is fact might have been averted had their own colonial district commissioners been more in touch with the planter community and headed the many warning. .[40] Yet it chose to blame Chilembwe for his mixture of political and religious teaching, and another convenient scapegoat of the planter community, sighting unsatisfactory conditions on the A L Bruce Estates among others and and a supposed harsh regime of W J Livingstone who now murdered could no longer defend himself. The enquiry heard that the conditions imposed on the A L Bruce Estates were oppressive, including paying workers poorly or in kind with tobacco (not in cash), expecting excessive labour from tenants or not recording the work they did, and whipping workers. The abuses were confirmed by Magomero workers and tenants questioned by the Commission in 1915.[41] Kitty Livingstone, William's widow, was incensed at these accusations and wrote a long and passioned response, placing the blame squarely at the lack of proper colonial administration and supervision. She wanted explained why, if the conditions were as bad as suggested by the findings of the Commission of Enquiry, that nothing had been done earlier by government officials to remedy them. She was incensed at the suggestion that her husband was to blame, when he was not only now dead, but also only the salaried manager of the vast estate which brought about it own challenges anyway.
Livingstone therefore was blamed for these unsatisfactory conditions, when the resident director/owner of the A L Bruce Estates, Alexander Livingstone Bruce, who had absolute control over estate policy and considered that educated Africans had no place in colonial society, escaped censure.[42] The concept that the only appropriate relationship between Europeans and Africans was that of master and servant was at the heart of colonial society, led by the landowners. This concept may have been precisely what Chilembwe aimed to fight against with his schools and self-help schemes, and ultimately why he turned to violent action,[43] although see also [44] for an opposing and similarly dated viewpoint. No amount of frustration should have allowed Chilembwe to resort to, or condone the slaughter of fellow Christians. Ironically, William Livingstone's own father had also been a baptist minister in Scotland.
Nyasaland Independence and legacy[edit]
Nyasaland gained independence in 1964, taking the name Malawi. Chilembwe's likeness have been seen on the obverse of all Malawian kwacha notes since 1997 until May 2012, when new notes were launched and 500 kwacha of which still honors his portrait. John Chilembwe Day is observed annually on January 15 in Malawi.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the smartphone wars, he who has all the revenue calls the shots, at least for now.
According to tech-focused news site The Verge, Apple (AAPL - Get Report) is reportedly dropping Google's (GOOG - Get Report) YouTube from its next mobile operating system, iOS 6, as the license deal between the two companies has expired.
But fear not YouTube fans, Google is reportedly working to make a new YouTube app that will be available in the App Store.
YouTube has been a featured app on the iPhone since its launch in 2007.This isn't the first time Apple has fired a shot at Google. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company announced in June that it would be replacing Google Maps as part of iOS 6 with its own proprietary mapping system, Apple Maps. Prior to his death, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs vowed to show Google's Android operating system as a copycat of iOS and use all of the company's cash to defeat it. "I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this," Jobs told his biographer, Walter Isaacson, prior to his death. There was a mixed reaction on social media to the announcement. One Twitter user thought it might be spite, considering Apple's past with Google. "

CARSON, Calif. (March 4, 2007) Photo by Tom Casino / Showtime - After breaking his opponents nose in the first round of an electrifying bout, IBF Bantamweight Champion Rafael Marquez captured the World Boxing Council (WBC) super bantamweight title by stopping defending champion Israel Vazquez at the end of the seventh round Saturday on Showtime championship boxing.
Vazquez asked his trainer, Freddie Roach, to stop the contest because he was having trouble breathing.
I was able to breathe through my mouth, but I couldnt get any air through my nose, Vazquez said. I couldnt breathe. I was taking a lot of shots because of that. ..
After rallying from a third-round knockdown, Marquez went toe-to-toe with Vazquez for the remainder of the non-stop action bout that lived up to its billing. At the time of the stoppage, Marquez led the battle of Mexico City, Mexico, natives 67-65 twice and 66 apiece on the scorecards. Discussions for a sequel to the Fight of the Year candidate already are underway.
SHOWTIME televised both world championship bouts at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, Sycuan Ringside Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions promoted the event.
In the co-feature, Vic Darchinyan retained his International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight title for the sixth time with a 12th-round technical knockout over former world champion Victor Burgos. Immediately after the fight, Burgos was taken away in an ambulance.
Burgos wasnt completely unconscious, but he was going in and out of consciousness, said ringside physician Dr. Paul Wallace. He took a lot of heavy punches, so we sent him to Harbor UCLA Hospital.
Marquez (37-3, 33 KOs), has won 16 straight bouts, including 13 by knockout. The tough, dangerous counter-puncher and brother of Juan Manuel Marquez has successfully defended his IBF 118-pound crown seven times. Marquez, who scored scintillating TKOs over top contender Silence Mabuza on SHOWTIME in his last two fights, stopped long-time titleholder Tim Austin to capture the IBF belt on Feb. 15, 2003, in Las Vegas.
I proved I am the best champion, Marquez said. Vazquez hit me so hard. He is a great champion. He deserves a rematch.
Vazquez (41-4, 31 KOs) floored Marquez in the third round with a punishing left uppercut, but saw his nine-bout winning streak come to an end when the challenger rallied. A two-time world champion at 122 pounds, Vazquez captured the WBC super bantamweight title by scoring a third-round TKO over Oscar Larios on Dec. 3, 2005, in Las Vegas.
"I stopped the fight, Roach said. Vazquez told me after the first round that he broke his nose. He wanted me to stop it a couple of rounds earlier, but I asked him to try and suck it up because I thought that Marquez was getting tired.
Vazquez gave it everything he had, but then came back and said he could not do it anymore. That is when I stopped the fight. His nose was more important than the fight.
In one of 2006s greatest fights, Vazquez overcame two knockdowns to retain the title in his last start with a devastating 10th-round TKO over Jhonny Gonzalez on Sept. 16 in Las Vegas.
Darchinyan (28-0, 22 KOs), of Sydney, Australia, retained both his IBF and International Boxing Organization (IBO) titles when referee Jon Schorle stopped the bout at 1:27 of the final round with Burgos up against the ropes. Since the 12th round was scored, Darchinyan led 110-98 twice and 109-99 on the scorecards.
Burgos (39-15-3, 23 KOs), of Puebla, Mexico, rallied from a second-round knockdown to stagger the champion against the ropes in the seventh round. Burgos captured the IBF junior flyweight crown with a 12-round unanimous decision over Alex Sanchez on Feb. 15, 2003, in Las Vegas. In a 108-pound unification match the following Dec. 13, the always willing and hard-trying Burgos boxed a draw with rugged WBC champion Rosendo Alvarez in Atlantic City.
Mexico should be proud of Victor Burgos, Darchinyan said. I think he is a hero. He was very tough. His movements gave me difficulty. He is a good, tough fighter.
The bout(s) will re-air as follows:
Monday, March 5, at 8 p.m. ET/PT SHO EXTREME
Tuesday, March 6, at 10 p.m. ET/PT SHOTOO
Wednesday, March 7, at 11 p.m. ET/PT SHOWTIME

Cops eye land row in QC twin blasts
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Twin explosions believed to be stemming from a property dispute injured a man and destroyed two cars in Bago Bantay, Quezon City, before dawn Friday.
Quezon City Police director Senior Supt. Richard Albano said the wrecked vehicles—a blue Opel Vectra and a green Hyundai Matrix—were parked in front of a compound on Ilocos Sur Street in Barangay Ramon Magsaysay.
A bystander, Virgilio Agito, suffered cuts from shattered glass in the face, knee and right foot.
The vehicles were undergoing repairs at an automotive shop owned by Joel Tating, who claims to own the compound but is being challenged by a tenant who is a lawyer, Albano said.
Two explosions rocked the neighborhood around 2 a.m., causing the Vectra to flip on its side and sending its hood to the roof of a neighboring house. The glass windows of four nearby houses were shattered while a water pipe was also damaged.
The QCPD has yet to determine the type of explosives used and whether they were planted under the vehicles.
For the possible motive behind the blasts, investigators are looking into the longstanding dispute between the Tatings and the lawyer-tenant, whose name was not made public pending an investigation.
In a meeting with Albano, Tating and his wife said they left the property in 2005 after an armed robbery that killed their helper and wounded Joel's mother.
They returned four years later and, despite having papers to back their claim, encountered problems with the lawyer-tenant as well as the informal settlers who had put up stalls outside the compound, the couple said.

We are a young couple that fell in love with the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica while traveling in the summer 2008. We were engaged in the area later that year, and we now live in San Francisco, California, USA with our baby (shown here in her own rainforest :-) and another one on the way. While we can't go down to Punta Uva as much as we would like right now, as the kids grow up we expect to spend lots of wonderful time here as a family. In the meantime, please enjoy the house, the Caribbean, the jungle, and the unique culture of the Puerto Viejo area as much as we do!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at your little slice of paradise. Everything was so nice - we especially loved the kitchen and open eating area down stairs, and also the big screened-in porch up stairs. Both areas would have been perfect for a small party... the entire house had a very warm and relaxing feel. I also loved the ever changing …

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Cesar Calderon stepped outside to light a cigarette. It was a gorgeous night, unseasonably warm for December, even in Mexico. He took a deep drag and tilted his head back, aiming the smoke toward a waning moon.
"Quieres?" he asked, turning to his bodyguard. Moreno had stationed himself a few feet back, just outside the restaurant door. For this trip Cesar had selected one of his less imposing employees, determined to maintain a low profile despite the circumstances.
"No, gracias," Moreno said.
Calderon nodded, then inhaled. Thalia would be apoplectic if she knew he'd taken up smoking again—even if it was only socially, on business trips like this one. Before returning home he'd have to make sure his clothes were laundered or he'd catch hell for it. Out of habit, he kept a close monitor on the surrounding area. The dinner was being held around the corner from their hotel in the Zona Rosa. It was one of the most exclusive sections of Mexico City, although in his opinion these past few years it had slid into tackiness, upscale antique stores ceding to kitschy tourist traps. Shame that they had booked the St. Regis instead of the Four Seasons.
A couple strolled arm in arm, the woman tilting her head back to release a giggle as her companion guided her into a bar down the street. A few storefronts away, a pair of feet jutted out of a doorway. Cesar's eyes narrowed at the sight of them. He turned back to Moreno and raised an eyebrow. Taking the cue, Moreno went to investigate. Grumbles from the doorway, a tirade delivered with the slurred speech of an addict.
"It's nothing, sir," Moreno said in a low voice before falling back into position.
Heroin, Calderon thought, shaking his head. It used to be that the drug only passed through Mexico, but in recent years addiction levels had spiked. The latest law decriminalizing small amounts of heroin and cocaine hadn't helped matters, in his opinion. An already poor country was now being ravaged by the same disease as its wealthier neighbor to the north. A decade ago, the sight of a stoned man collapsed in a Mexico City doorway would have been an oddity. Today it was rapidly becoming the norm.
Back inside the restaurant, someone laughed loudly—probably Leonard. Bastard always got drunk and inappropriate at these conferences. The other night he'd actually asked Cesar to share a hooker; he shuddered at the memory. The sad truth was that his field attracted people from a wide range of backgrounds, some shadier than others. After recent events, Calderon had decided this was the last time he'd appear as the public face of the company. These business trips were draining, dangerous and put too much of a strain on his already fragile marriage. From here on out he'd leave the heavy lifting to Linus.
Calderon turned at the sound of screeching tires. A white van careened toward him. He frowned and automatically panned right, to the opposite end of the street where he discovered a garbage truck blocking the intersection. Calderon's eyes widened as he realized what was about to happen. He spun on his heels, braced to dash into the restaurant. Saw Moreno's head tilted back at an odd angle, hands clutching his throat as blood jetted from between his fingers. The addict stood behind him, brandishing a knife.
Clearly no escape that way. Calderon tossed his cigarette, scattering a trail of embers as he swiveled and bolted across the street, hoping the sudden move would throw them off.
Too late. Hands gripped him from behind, dragging him toward the van's open door. His calves smacked the metal frame as they pulled him inside. The last thing he saw was the shocked expression on the maitre d's face, frozen behind the host stand. Then a hood was yanked over his head, the van door slammed shut and a voice barked in Spanish, "Wall one, wall one, we have him! Wall two, move in behind us."
Calderon let out a yelp at the sudden, sharp pain in his thigh. Mierda, he thought, they're drugging me
Then everything went black.
Riley adjusted his grip on the MP-5. It was almost dawn. Aside from the sound of an occasional car, the streets below were silent. Almost eerily so, considering Mexico City had more than eight million residents. Riley looked down the line of men in the hall. Four of them pressed against the wall in tight formation, wearing urban camouflage and night-vision goggles. Outside he had Decker manning the wheel of their getaway van, and a sniper and observer in the building opposite. Eight total: more than enough to overwhelm the team holding Cesar Calderon. Still, despite the weeks of planning to set this operation in motion, it was hard for Riley to shake the sense that something was off.
Just nerves, Riley told himself. He had good intel that they were only dealing with three kidnappers. Monroe and Kaplan, his sniper/observer team, would create a distraction, taking out at least one of the bad guys at the window. The rest of his unit would swarm the apartment using a five-man cross-button entry strategy, eliminating the other two kidnappers and egressing with their hostage. All told, the operation should be over in less than five minutes. An airfield ten miles away had a plane waiting, and they'd be stateside by noon. Easy, just like Smiley had promised.
Riley's earpiece buzzed. "Target confirmed. Are we green?" Kaplan asked in a low voice.
"Confirm green, we are in position," Riley replied.
"Roger that. Sighting in."
Riley glanced at his watch. Despite the early hour, he worried that one of the other apartment doors might open, ruining the element of surprise. They were in a run-down tenement building in Iztapalapa, one of the worst slums in Mexico City, which was saying something. The walls were riddled with holes, they'd sent rats scurrying in the stairwell as they ascended, and the whole place stank of piss and rotten meat. All things considered, there were sections of Baghdad he'd feel safer in.
Plus, the kidnappers they were about to engage were no ordinary hacks. Los Zetas was an elite paramilitary organization, former Mexican army soldiers who defected to work for a drug cartel. The men he was about to confront had been through the same training as his unit. They had attended the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in Fort Benning, Georgia, learning firsthand from the best in the business the very techniques he was about to employ. All of which made this one of the most dangerous rescue attempts he'd ever participated in. And, officially at least, it was the first he was solely in charge of.
The hostage was something of a unique case, too. Cesar Calderon was the CEO of the Tyr Group, the world's premier Kidnap and Ransom organization. Calderon had personally negotiated the release of hundreds of people over the course of his career. Then, five weeks ago, he'd been snatched from a security symposium where he was the keynote speaker. He walked out of a restaurant, disappeared into the back of a white van and hadn't been heard from since. The rescuer became the victim—ironic, Riley thought. He'd never met Calderon personally, but in addition to being his boss, the man was a legend in K&R circles.
From inside the apartment, Narcocorridos music blared at top volume. Riley guessed that the neighbors were either Zetas sympathizers or too frightened to complain. The music provided good cover for the kidnappers, and had the additional benefit of disorienting and demoralizing their hostage. On the plus side for Riley, it meant his team didn't have to worry about a stealthy approach. Hell, they could be escorted by a ten-piece band and still not be heard over the racket emanating from the apartment. Amazing that anyone could sleep through that, but after a while they probably tuned it out.
His earpiece buzzed: "Request permission to engage," Kaplan asked. The spotter was probably itching to get this over with. He and Monroe, the sniper, had to keep their focus on the apartment from across the street, without any backup, putting them in the most vulnerable position. Especially in this barrio, where each building was more dangerous than the next.
"Permission granted. Fire, fire." Riley turned and gave the rest of his team the Go signal. Two of them moved forward to flank the door, a compact battering ram between them. He'd act as point man—first through the door and ready to take out whatever lay on the other side. The clearing man would follow, covering his back. The rest of the team would split up to sweep each room, securing the hostage and eliminating any hostiles with extreme prejudice.
Over the din inside the apartment, he heard the distinct sound of shattering glass. Monroe must have shot out the window, hopefully eliminating one of the hostiles at the same time. Riley nodded. The ram swung back, and the door burst inward with a splintering of wood.
"What the fuck was that?" asked Monroe.
Kaplan refocused the Elcan scope on his M-16 rifle, most spotters' weapon of choice because it provided the best night vision. He was spotting for Monroe, arguably one of the world's best snipers. Monroe had come up through the ranks of the Army's elite Olympic sharpshoot-ing team, racking up medals until he got tired of firing at bull's-eyes and joined the private sector. The two of them were ensconced in an apartment across the street from their target. They'd built their nest a few feet back in the room so the gun muzzle wouldn't be spotted, and covered most of the window with strips of burlap. The figure they'd zeroed in on had vanished, the window he'd been standing in front of now completely shattered.
"You got him."
"Bullshit, I didn't get anyone," Monroe said. "I haven't fired yet."
"I was about to, when the window blew."
"So what the—"
The door behind them suddenly exploded. Kaplan's hands jerked instinctively to cover his head, before he regained himself and swung the M-16 around.
A sharp pain in his shoulder, followed by one in his chest. Something wet smacked into his face, and he jerked sideways away from it. Men swarmed the room, faces covered by masks attached to black helmets, giving them a wasplike appearance. They all carried machine guns. Kaplan slowly raised his hands in the air, gasping slightly from the pain in his chest where the second bullet had hit.

Love Michelle's book and they always get better. The characters are great, the story line is great and she actually puts you right there in the book as you read so you can see and feel what you are reading... For em I have to make sure I don't have to get up early the next day after starting her books because I can't seem to put them down.

Michelle Gagnon has become a favorite author of mine, and my only complaint is that I don't have 20 backlist titles to choose from when I finish her latest book. At this point, I've read everything she's written, and I'm chomping at the bit for more.
I read this quite a while ago, back in November 2010 when I was still working two jobs and reading was quickly becoming something that I used to do. At a time when reading time was at a premium and getting through a book could take a month or longer, I flew through this one in just a few days.
One of the reasons I particularly wanted to review this book now was because it's been over a year since I read it, and while I normally can't remember details from any books, I still remember that she did something in this book I'd have bet she'd never do. It took my head clean off.
If you're a mystery fan, I absolutely recommend Michelle's books. I know I haven't said much about the plot, but that's what the book summary is for. I'm just here to tell you that you're missing out if you're not reading her books.

World renowned hostage negotiator Cesar Calderon, CEO of Tyr Group whose mission is to rescue kidnapped victims, ironically is abducted by the adept Los Zetas paramilitary organization in Mexico City. A team is sent to retrieve him led by Jake Riley, but they fail leaving the leader to wonder why they were allowed to live having been trapped by the skillful enemy
A new unit is set up led again by Jake with his fiancée FBI Agent Kelly Jones included though the latter is still healing mentally from losing part of her leg on the Gatekeeper mission and this is her first field work since then. However, she understands why Jake needs to go on this rescue effort and wants the person he trusts most in the world with his back to be with him; his brother is one of the hostage victims. She has another reason for joining this endeavor; the man responsible for her leg loss is hiding amongst the kidnappers.
The latest Jones thriller (see Boneyard and Tunnels) is the usual fast-paced action-packed tale expected from Michelle Gagnon. The story line opens with the abduction as Calderon is drugged while dining out and never slows down in the efforts to rescue him. The ability of Los Zetas and the angst of Kelly make the tale as the former is refreshingly quite good at what they do and the latter feels not able to do field work as she expected to be desk bound for the rest of her career; Jake is not doing this out of pity as he needs her skills. Readers will enjoy this entertaining suspense as Kelly wonders if she can ride the bike again to face her ultimate demon if what the Feds believe is true about this killer.

CounterPath Enhances Enterprise Collaboration and Connectivity for Company's eStore Customers
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 14 August 2014 Release date- 13082014 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - CounterPath Corporation (NASDAQ: CPAH) (TSX: CCV), a leading developer of award-winning desktop, tablet and mobile VoIP software products and solutions, today announced the general availability of the Bria Screen Share and Outlook add-ins for the Bria 4.1 Windows desktop client.
The new screen share add-in enables one-click screen sharing, while the new Outlook add-in enables users to initiate calls, send messages, access voicemail and monitor presence from directly within an Outlook window - leading to higher productivity and better collaboration across the enterprise or SMB.
Previously only offered to large scale customers, the screen share and Outlook add-ins are now available as optional purchases to all Bria 4.1 users via the CounterPath online store. This expands the market opportunity to small to mid-sized businesses.
A recent report by Research and Markets forecasts the enterprise collaboration market to grow from $47 billion in 2014 to $71 billion in 2019, at a Compound Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.3%1. The Bria add-ins for screen sharing and Outlook integration directly address this large opportunity by giving businesses the tools needed for seamless, efficient collaboration.
With the Bria Screen Share Add-in*, users can: Send invitations via IM or email with one click, to up to 100 contacts Enjoy a seamless, hosted screen sharing session without distracting third-party branding Allow participants to join a screen sharing session without downloading proprietary software or requiring Flash or Java View a session from any device with a web browser including desktops, tablets and smartphones The Bria Add-in for Outlook* enables users to: Initiate a call, send an Instant Message or listen to Voicemail - all from within an Outlook window View the status of an Outlook contact (busy or available) from within an Outlook window 'Enterprises today are increasingly investing in tools which improve communication and enhance the ways in which their teams work together,' said Todd Carothers, EVP Marketing and Products, CounterPath. 'The use of screen sharing has exploded as it is an extremely powerful and efficient way for workers to collaborate, so it just made sense to include this functionality in Bria where users already have easy access to their contacts and can initiate screen sharing sessions with one click. The other application in which employees spend a lot of time is Outlook and bringing Bria calling, messaging and presence functionality directly into an email window takes 'staying connected' to a new level. Both these add-ins demonstrate our continuing dedication to creating software products that are a natural extension of the way people want to work.' Bria 4.1 for Windows available for purchase on the CounterPath store for $49.99 USD. The Bria Screen Share Add-in is a monthly service subscription for $14.99 per user. The Bria Add-in for Outlook is an optional one-time purchase for $8.99 per user. Both Add-ins will be available for purchase in the CounterPath store in all countries by the end of the day.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Paragon Court is a very spacious apartment within a Georgian Grade 2 Listed former hotel.This raised ground floor flat offers lovely sea views from all the principal rooms and is next to walkway leading directly down to a beach.The apartment has been comfortably furnished to reflect the beauty and detail of the period,where guests can relax and enjoy everything the south east of England has to offer. Enjoy fantastic sunsets and sandy beaches - yet with the station under a mile away you can be in London in 90 minutes! Sumptuous leather sofas blend with unique period furniture, a family size kitchen, separate utility room, bathroom and shower rooms, king size and single twin bed rooms. There is parking in the no through road outside the flat or private off road parking across the road. Buses stop just outside, whilst opposite, our other balcony ( 2 bed /2 bath) flat is also available if you need more accommodation.
The South East England / Kent region: As the first seaside resort in the country, Margate has drawn visitors ever since the 1730s. The 700 year old harbour had been extensively used by the sailing hoys which regularly plied their trade from London. However, a new cargo inundated the town in the 18th century when boatloads of holiday makers came to try out Benjamin Beale's wonderful, new innovation. A local inventor, he patented a bathing machine which allowed for therapeutic and modest bathing. Little, wooden huts were pulled into the sea and the bather could then descend into the water covered by a canvas. The introduction in 1814 of 'Steam Yachts' caused rapid expansion which continued throughout the 19th century. The wooden jetty was constructed in 1824 and the famous iron jetty in 1855 which allowed visitors to disembark from the visiting steam packs.
Margate area: The harbour town of Ramsgate, with its lively marina and ferry port is 5 miles away, whilst ever popular Broadstairs is only 4 miles away. The whole Thanet coastline has miles of sandy beaches and dramatic cliff top walks for you to explore.
The Winter Gardens are our neighbours and host year round live entertainments to suit the entire family.
For the more active, the scenic Viking Coastal Trail is a 27 mile-long route or six shorter themed routes for cycling or walking. Bike hire is available locally.
There are several golf courses in the area, theatre, cinema etc
Watersports are very popular and jet skiing, surfing, boat trips and fishing are all readily available.
Margate has direct rail links to London so you might want to head into the city to catch some West End Theatre and shopping or visit the famous London Landmarks. London is approximate 90 mins away by train -
IAlso, Trans Europa Car Ferries operate 4 sailings a day to Ostende in Belgium from Ramsgate Harbour. Great for a day trip to Europe!
The accomodation and facilities provided more than met our expectations. Our 2 grandsons spent a lot of time in the kid's room playing football. I shall certainly recommend it to all our friends.
The apartment was as described. We were very well supported by the housekeeper who came out when we had a problem with the washing machine.
Pre-visit information was useful. Well located apartment and got parked no problem
We really liked the apartment.It was so comfortable inside,spotless and very big.I particularly liked the beds.Good comms with owner and housecleaners.Directly opposite the seafront but away from the main town.Near to the Turner Art Gallery whch is under construction.Lovely to hear the sea.
We went to broadstairs,whitstable and Ramsgate and it was a real break.I would recommend the apartment for a nice relaxing break.
We had an excellent experience. The department has much more than advertised, it is well located, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. It is a pleasure to deal with the owner. I definitely recommend it.
We had a great week in May. Appartment is very nice, just like described, beautifully decorated and spacious with 2 great size bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Location is very good: next to the sea and central beach (5 min walk), but in the same time is slightly away from busy night life, which enabled us to have good night rest. Customer service was good as well. I would recommend this property.
We had a nice week in Margate. Esme it was beautiful to stay in your house. It was clean, warm, everything was fine. Internet works good - very easy! And it is so beautiful to stay so close to the seaside.
Margate is part of the 26 miles of Thanet coastline, with a choice of golden sandy beaches, live entertainment and plenty of activities, including walking, cycling, golf and watersports.
NB Dreamland (the £18,000,000 Retro amusement park) is opening on the 19th June 2015! The Turner Centre Art Gallery and the Winter Garden are close to the apartment www.dreamland.co.uk www.turnercontemporary.org www.margatewintergardens.co.uk
London is approximately 70 miles away and easily accessible by train,(direct from Victoria approx 90 minutes) car or coach (Victoria coach station 90 minutes) Margate station is under a mile from the apartment and there are bus stops just outside the apartment. A trip to mainland Europe is also available during your stay from the ferry terminal at Ramsgate, 3 miles away.

What does Avance HA do?
Like everRun, Avance HA also offers continuous processing capabilities. It supports this type of processing in a different way, however.
Avance harnesses together two systems using a modified Xen hypervisor and powerful monitoring and automation software. Applications are loaded into a virtual machine that executes on both physical host systems. Data and applications are synchronized between the two host servers continuously. If one fails, the other simply keeps on processing. The end users don't see the failure.
What does this announcement mean?
everRun became a Stratus product when the company acquired Marathon Technologies in September 2012. Critics pointed out that the company then had two products that used different approaches and solved the same problem. They pointed out that it would be very difficult for Stratus to explain which product customers should use and why.
While this acquisition created a little bit of a conundrum for Stratus. It now had two software-based continuous processing solutions, each having unique features, but both offering very powerful tools to support continuous processing environments.
The challenge was how those features could be combined in the same product. The next issue was how to create a migration path for customers using those two different approaches that would lead to a new unified product without causing problems for the customers.
It is clear that after looking at the problem since September 2012, Stratus developed a new product having the best features of each of the older product. Furthermore, this was a time that Stratus could move to a newer, more manageable, more scalable virtual machine technology.
While the company tells me that this release is designed to deliver "mainframe levels of availability" to its enterprise customers, I have no problem visualizing Stratus offering the same capability to service providers allowing them to offer "continuous processing clouds" at some time in the future.
If your company has applications that simply can't be seen to fail, Stratus has several options that would be well worth the effort to examine.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, onion and bell pepper and spread evenly over the surface. There should be enough oil to almost cover the potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Remove vegetables from the pan and drain off excess oil.
Combine vegetables, ham and eggs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture back into lightly oiled skillet and cook until golden, 5 to 8 minutes.
Turn omelet over onto a large plate and slide back into the pan, uncooked side down. Cook until lightly golden, an additional 3 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit in the pan for 2 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
