The new measures around the FX market was greeted with more agility in its second day, as 2,097 people could buy dollars at the official price and legally.
According to data from the AFIP, savers took U.S. $ 12,781,737, an average of U.S. $ 578 per transaction. This marked a contrast to Monday, where 242 operations for a totaling $ 141,000 were carried out.
So far the AFIP received 184,338 purchase orders. Operations were implemented for 12.7 million and 77.3 million are outstanding. Orders are valid for 72 hours.
Most of the operations were performed by workers as employees, with a total of 19,469 people for U.S. $ 11,184,196.
The autonomous took U.S. $ 1,033,173 million but they were only 1,172, against 1,456 mono-tax payers as they could acquire U.S. $ 564,369.

I was programming in C++ for a living when I fell in love with Java.
It was an unintended affair. At the time, I was following a trend with the limited language of C++, which didn't even have operator overloading or templates, but boasted simplicity and the ability to write the code once and run it anywhere (otherwise known as WORA).
But Java came along and changed everything. In fact, despite what most people say about Java in the mobile age, I still find it relevant, useful and an important coding tool going forward.
Java's WORA was much maligned during its early years, but people tend to forget how difficult things were before Java came along. Java was designed as a language of minimalism: There are less ways to accomplish a certain task, but that also makes it easy to go back in and make changes or corrections. With free and open tools, it made tackling the issues of platform defragmentation easier than ever.
Today, we are again experiencing defragmentation - but this time in the mobile space, with every device family moving further and further away from commonality and toward its own family of code. Java, as the most capable language used to support multiple platforms, is the closest thing to universal that developers can rely on.
Historically, tools for cross-platform mobile development in Java were in the $30,000 price range and delivered poor results. This is no longer the case. Tools from several vendors bring Java 5 functionality and native UIs without compromising on quality and ease of use. Companies and organizations such as Oracle, Codename One and XMLVM are bringing out stacks for Java developers to target some of the mobile platforms where Java hasn't been represented, and some of these solutions offer compelling UI options.
The leaders of the current crop of Java-based tools work by translating the Java bytecode to native C/Objective-C code and thus deliver fast native performance on iOS without an interpreter overhead (thus circumventing the JIT restriction on iOS). Some of the tools provide cloud build environments similar to the one provided by PhoneGap, removing the need to own a Mac to build a native iOS application. This allows casual developers who would like to get their feet wet programming to iOS/Android to get on board and leverage their existing Java skills to create native applications.
There are, of course, drawbacks to Java. Unfortunately, there is still no true alternative to it - HTML 5, which is the closest competitor, provides a vastly different programming experience and requires quite different skill sets. Android serves as a heaven of sort to Java developers in which they can easily develop using their favorite language; however, because the Android API is very specific to Android, the WORA aspect for Android only applies to other Android devices. RIM has its own flavor of Java and is working on supporting Android API in future OSs, but iOS/Windows phones don't have a proper alternative to Java developers.
There are several concurrent open source attempts to rectify this situation and restore the WORA aspect for mobile Java. Most of these attempts face an uphill battle since the platforms involved differ to such a great extent it's very hard to create a common ground that doesn't fall into the lowest common denominator approach.
For those who use these tools, make sure to check out their support forums, try out the options, evaluate their results and look through the application galleries. When building a mobile application the most important feature is the support forum - when things don't work, you need help, and in mobile development things can get pretty complicated along the way.
Developers who want simplicity and WORA capabilities in the mobile age may not have a lot of options. But Java, for all its faults, still provides what most developers need to get ahead in the world of coding. As cross-functionality becomes a greater priority for the coders, this baseline language will become the standard bearer yet again.

I fail to see any value in the current set of tools for Java development targeting the main mobile operating systems, because they are still too immature for production code.
Oracle should make ahead of time compilation a standard choice in Java tooling and not something that always force us to look elsewhere.
On the consulting projects I take part on, C++ and C# have taken the portability role for native applications, with HTML5 for the mobile ones.
The train has left the station for mobile Java and if Google decides to offer first class support for their own languages on Android (Dart and Go), then it is really gone.

Texasruling, this expanded new edition of Intimate Mattersdetails the changes in sexuality and the ongoing growth of individual freedoms in the United States through meticulous research and lucid prose. Praise for earlier editions "The book John D'Emilio co-wrote with Estelle B. Freedman, Intimate Matters, was cited by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy when, writing for a majority of court on July 26, he and his colleagues struck down a Texas law criminalizing sodomy. The decision was widely hailed as a victory for gay rights-and it derived in part, according to Kennedy's written comments, from the information he gleaned from this book."-Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune "Fascinating. . . . D'Emilio and Freedman marshal their material to chart a gradual but decisive shift in the way Americans have understood sex and its meaning in their lives." -Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times Book Review "With comprehensiveness and care . . . D'Emilio and Freedman have surveyed the sexual patterns for an entire nation across four centuries." -Martin Bauml Duberman, Nation

"Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic blends purifying propolis, healing antimicrobial honey, protective beeswax, revitalizing bee pollen, nourishing royal jelly and moisturizing olive oil to create an all-purpose, all-over healing cream that can be used as a chapped lip remedy, shaving burn care, daily moisturizer, overnight skin nutrition, cold sore relief, cute, scrape and bite relief, after-sun support and rash, burn and scar repair."
As a blog on a mission to further explore the overlapping areas of beauty and science, I was invited to a Medicine Mama webinar which gave insight into the apothecary and it's operations. Started by Donna Steinmann, the "Medicine Mama" to be exact, it is an all natural, artisan line centered around bees and how their biological functions can do wonders for our skin.
The apothecary uses "hive" products and natural oils such as (but not limited to) olive and avocado oils to constitute their line of creams.
What are hive products you may ask? Hive products are the organic substances that are byproducts of the bees' biological functions. They are:
original photo source
Honey-a naturally sweet substance made by bees from the nectar of flowers; honey is made through regurgitation from bees (basically bee throw-up haha…the kid in me likes to come out sometimes). It is used to moisturize skin and it has "anti inflammatory and anti_bacterial" properties.
Beeswax– taken from honeycombs, beeswax is a substance that can help lock moisture in and helps to keep harmful toxins out. It is often used in cosmetic formulations that require emulsifiers.
Propolis– a nutrient rich substance harvested from tree resin (sap) in pure form but bees use it with their own secretions to line the hive and honeycombs. Propolis is used for medicinal purposes and is known to have tons of healing properties.
Royal Jelly– The jelly preserved only for the Queen Bee is packed with vitamins, minerals and amino-acids. In cosmetics it can be used to combat wrinkles and as a skin moisturizer.
Bee Pollen– rich in biological substances such as "vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids, and protein" comes from the pollen that accumulates on bees and in their saliva.
Learn more about MM's ingredients here.
Here are some fun facts about Mama Medicine's Apothecary:
-The apothecary makes sure not to heat the products too high in order to not kill the nutrients.
-The apothecary employs "honeybees" 6-7 million to be exact.
-Uses olive oil because it mirrors the dermal oil or the oil closest to the oil our skin releases
-Works for multiple uses including scars and burns , eczema, intimate areas, etc.
One thing I appreciated about Donna during the entire webinar was that there is a real effort to not manipulate the bees' process and it was emphasized that their products are a gift from nature and are perfect in that regard. Learning about the apothecary and it's practices has taken me on a journey to learn more about the benefits of bee products. Stay tuned to my followup post going into more detail about the specific benefits of hive products.

Darlington drew 0-0 with Spennymoor in the Northern League top of the table encounter
Craig Stoddart, Deputy Sports Editor / / Sport
Final Score: Darlington 0 Spennymoor Town 0
DARLINGTON were left to rue not taking their chances to score as they were held at home by Spennymoor Town in last night's top of the table clash.
The game was much-anticipated and drew an attendance of 1,832 – Darlington's highest of the season – and most were pleased by Quakers' performance as they came close to ending Spennymoor's unbeaten run.
Loading article content
Manager Martin Gray was proud of his team, but frustrated at his team's failings in front of goal.
Amar Purewal and Stephen Thompson were both guilty of spurning opportunities during an entertaining and competitive match, after which Spennymoor boss Jason Ainsley said his team was not at its best.
Gray said: "We were playing against the team that have won the league for the past three seasons and we've controlled the match and had chances to score but not taken them.
"Amar was one-on-one and Thompson could've scored too. We had a few half chances too, but those two were great chances that we didn't take.
"But our first half performance was really strong and I felt we controlled the game the longer it went on. I don't think it was a fair result because we had three great chances.
Promoted stories
"I was proud of my players tonight, proud of every one of them. Their work ethic was good and they got on the ball and were brave."
Amid steady rain, Spennymoor made a lively start with livewire striker Gavin Cogdon twice breaking into Quakers' penalty area. Outstretched legs from Gary Brown and Joe Tait cut out Cogdon's final pass.
With his close control and stocky build, he could be compared to Darlington's Stephen Thompson who had his team's first effort, which was deflected into side-netting for a corner as Quakers gradually came into the contest.
They looked the more likely to make a breakthrough, but Purewal wasted a great chance.
Played in by strike-partner David Dowson on the halfway line, Purewal dribbled into the area, but hesitated and allowed keeper Robert Dean to claw the ball away and the follow-up shot was wide.
Soon the pair reversed roles, Purewal nodding to Dowson, and his run at goal resulted in Dean saving as Darlington ended the first half on top.
A powerful shot by Thompson nicked off a defender and went over, but referee Michael Dicicco, bewilderingly, said goal kick before another long-range effort followed, this time with Chris Emms having a pop, but it went over.
Spennymoor were celebrating before half-time, but their joy was short-lived thanks to striker Mark Davison.
Cogdon's shot appeared to be going in, but Davison's touch on the line was offside.
Darlington continued where they left off after the break.
Terry Galbraith dinked a ball into the penalty area, but Purewal failed to make a clear contact as he wafted a leg at the ball, before an Emms delivery to the near post was unconvincingly palmed away by Dean, and Purewal almost got his head to it.
The wet conditions were superb for defenders who love a sliding tackle, Brown being one such example. He executed a fine challenge as Cogdon looked for an opening, but it was Quakers who looked more threatening.
For the bulk of the second half Spennymoor did not show much going forward, but they always looked capable of creating an opportunity and they had three efforts in quick succession.
Two were off target by midfielder Keith Graydon while Michael Rae tested Mark Bell who was equal to the effort, one of the few the keeper had to save.
Jonny Davis made his Darlington debut after coming off the bench and the midfielder's first contribution was to take a free-kick that bounced between a clutch of bodies before Purewal, enduring a poor night, aimlessly swiped at the ball and missed his chance to be a hero.
The draw means Ainsley's team remain seven points behind Quakers, but with five games in hand.
"I don't think you've seen the real Spennymoor tonight," he said. "The defenders outshone the attackers.
"We started off really brightly, but then Darlington had a good spell and I think they shaded the game if I'm honest.
"We still looked a threat though. Both teams got the ball into good areas and we looked like we had a goal in us.
"If you'd told me before the game that it was going to be a draw I'd have been happy with a point, but that wasn't we came here for."

Quakers count the cost of missed opportunites
Great performance guys, but you should have put away one of those chances. Now that SR has gone to Newton Aycliffe we will never know if he could have done any better. I find it a bit worrying that we had no strikers on the bench tonight after he has left the club. I know that Steven Johnson is not quite ready after injury, and maybe Micheal Sweet was not ready for that big game but we need another option.What is the latest on a new striker, does anybody know whats happening.

This is great for smaller breed dogs. They love to sit up and look out the window and feel closer to there owners. My little dog is cat like so he likes being up high. It does not strap them in so you have to be carefull putting the breaks on hard.
Pros: sits up high
Cons: have to move in and out

What makes this presidential election different from all other presidential elections? And different from what we expected when the year began?
First, neither party's presumptive nominee was chosen by massive support from primary voters, as John Kerry was in 2004, George W. Bush in 2000 or Bill Clinton in 1992.
That may not seem obvious in the case of John McCain, who effectively clinched the Republican nomination on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5. But look at the numbers: In January, McCain won New Hampshire 37 percent to 32 percent, South Carolina 33 to 30 percent and Florida 36 to 31 percent. On Super Tuesday, he won more than 50 percent only in states that were essentially uncontested: Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. He won Missouri by only 33 percent to 32 percent and California by only 42 percent to 35 percent, but won big delegate margins because of Republicans' winner-take-all rules.
McCain's strategy from July 2007 was to count on the other Republican candidates' strategies to fail. That was risky. But it worked. Republicans have accepted his victory because they're temperamentally inclined to fall in line and because it became obvious that he was the candidate with the best chance to win in the fall. But McCain was not really a consensus choice.
As for Barack Obama, at this writing he leads Hillary Clinton by 153 in "pledged delegates," those chosen in primaries and caucuses. But about 90 percent of this lead -- between 130 and 140 delegates -- came in caucuses, where the enthusiasm of his followers and the inexplicable failure of the Clinton campaign to mobilize hers gave him big victories.
We know from the nonbinding "beauty contest" primaries in Washington in February and in Nebraska on May 13 that Obama would have won much smaller margins in primaries in those states -- and much smaller delegate margins, thanks to the Democrats' proportional representation rules.
Democratic super-delegates, given votes in the 1980s to counterbalance the enthusiasm of left-wing caucus-goers, have instead moved toward ratifying the results of the caucuses and the paper-thin delegate edge Obama won in primary states. They may have good reasons for doing so -- fearing a Clinton loss in the general or a backlash from black voters if the first serious black candidate is rejected. But Obama, like McCain, is not the consensus choice of a large majority of Democratic primary voters.

Tidemark Systems offers a suite of business planning applications that enable corporations to plan more effectively. The software facilitates rapid creation and frequent updating of integrated company plans by making it easy for individual business functions to create their own plans while allowing headquarters to connect them to create a unified view. I coined the term "integrated business planning" a decade ago to highlight the potential for technology to substantially improve the effectiveness of planning and budgeting in corporations, and it remains true that integrating business planning can produce superior results. Companies that maintain direct links between functional or departmental plans more often have a planning process that works well than others. Our next-generation business planning benchmark research shows that two-thirds (66%) of those that maintain such links have a planning process that works well or very well, compared to 40 percent that copy information from individual plans into an overall plan and just 25 percent in which plans have little or no connection.
Businesses commonly do a lot of planning within individual silos: There are sales plans, marketing plans, manufacturing plans, R&D plans and various others. However, in most companies the only unified plan is the corporate budget, which is a financial plan used mainly for allocating resources and controlling spending. Because they are focused almost exclusively on monetary consequences, budgets are not especially useful for planning the operations of a company, which requires attention to the things of a business (such as head count, numbers of purchased parts and tons of materials).
Tidemark has made significant progress with its software that I have previously assessed with how it unifies business planning and the company's Fall 2015 release includes a new feature, Tidemark Complete, that enables companies to benchmark their performance against that of competitors. In almost all organizations, performance reviews compare results against the current plan or the previous quarter or year. While this is essential, it's insufficient because business is not an "us-vs.-us" game; it's an us-vs.-them competition. Even so, most companies don't assess their results against the market because they find it too difficult and time-consuming to assemble the data. Tidemark Complete addresses this issue. The latest release also adds packaged configurations and metrics tailored for the insurance, hospitality and retail industries that enable such companies to accelerate their implementation of Tidemark. In the Spring 2015 release the company introduced packages for higher education and subscription commerce. The subscription commerce app is especially useful for companies with recurring revenue businesses for two reasons. One is that managing these types of businesses requires using metrics that are not directly available from the accounting process. These include the annual recurring revenue (ARR) and annual and total contract value (ACV and TCV). Typically, the finance staff assembles data from one or more sources in desktop spreadsheets to do the calculations, analyze the results and create reports. As well as time-consuming, this method is prone to errors and incompleteness in the data. The second reason is that revenue recognition in subscription businesses is often complex. For planning purposes, it's useful to be able to automate the translation of booking events into reported revenue because it saves time and results in more accurate projections of future financial statements.
Ventana Research rated Tidemark a Hot Vendor in our 2015 Business Planning Value Index. Tidemark's software offers all of the capabilities necessary to support state-of-the-art planning. That is, it offers engaging visualization and reporting functionality that enhances understanding and insight in developing plans as well as communicating results. It has workflows to manage plan creation and periodic updates that cut the time and effort required to supervise the process and thus shorten planning cycles. It offers integrated analytics to support the planning and review phases of the process as well as Storylines and Playbooks, methods that present an organization's performance in narrative form with engaging data visualizations. An important reason why companies invest time in creating plans is to set objectives so they can periodically review their performance to those objectives. By organizing all business planning on a single platform, Tidemark allows each planning unit to review its results faster and headquarters to review the overall financial and operational performance sooner. Our research finds that companies that use a dedicated third-party planning application such as Tidemark are more able to uncover details during a review meeting because they can drill down to uncover underlying details while the meeting is under way. This enables managers and executives to get to information that can promote agility and provides an environment that encourages action in the whole organization.
Tidemark also offers built-in social collaboration capabilities in context. Collaboration is essential in the process of planning in corporations because it helps ensure that activities are coordinated. Companies have multiple objectives for their planning processes. Chief among these is accuracy. But since things don't always go to plan, companies need agility in responding to changes in a timely and coordinated fashion, and collaboration facilitates this also. In a small business, planning can be informal because of the ease of communications between all members and the ease with which plans can be modified in response to changing conditions. In larger organizations the planning process becomes increasingly difficult because communications become compartmentalized locally and diffused across the enterprise. Facilitating collaboration across geographies or business silos addresses the communications issues. Tidemark's collaboration capabilities address this issue more readily and completely than email or instant messaging. Setting and changing the company's course require coordination to ensure that the actions of one part of the organization complement (or at least don't impede) the actions of others. Better communication across the organization promotes coordination because it enables better understanding of the impact of policies and actions in one part of the company on the rest of it. Yet only 14 percent of companies are able to accurately measure that impact, and fewer than half (47%) have even a general idea. Integrated business planning coupled with a collaboration capabilities addresses that issue.
Using the most capable technology also helps. Using limited tools is a major barrier preventing companies from integrating their planning efforts; spreadsheets in particular are a major culprit. Our research reveals that across the spectrum of corporate planning activities, seven out of 10 organizations use spreadsheets to manage their planning processes. Tidemark's common planning platform for individual departmental and functional plans, plus built-in analytics and reporting and its focus on ease of use, provides a compelling reason to switch from spreadsheets. Also, compared to using spreadsheets, Tidemark's applications can make the planning process far more interactive by utilizing in-memory processing to speed calculations. When even complex planning models with large data sets can be run in seconds or less, senior executives and managers can quickly assess the impact of alternative courses of action in terms of their impacts on key operating metrics, not just revenue and income. Furthermore, having the means to engage in a structured conversation with direct reports can help executives implement strategy and manage their organization more effectively.
Integrated business planning applications are changing the conversation from a finance-centric approach to one that supports planning operations and finance in parallel. Companies that are dissatisfied with their current approach to business planning and are looking to improve important aspects of it including accuracy, insight, speed and alignment should consider dedicated business planning tools. When they do that, they should consider the kind of software that will enable them to support a better process. We recommend that they include Tidemark in their evaluation.

Whatever Oracle's cloud strategy had been the past, this year's OpenWorld conference and trade show made it clear that the company is now all in. In his keynote address, co-CEO Mark Hurd presented predictions for the world of information technology in 2025, when the cloud will be central to companies' IT environments. While his forecast that two (unnamed) companies will account for 80 percent of the cloud software market 10 years from now is highly improbable, it's likely that there will be relentless consolidation, marginalization and extinction within the IT industry sector driven by cloud disruptions and the maturing of the software business. In practice, though, we expect the transition to the cloud to be slow and uneven.
Our Office of Finance benchmark research finds that nearly half (46%) of companies prefer an on-premises deployment for their ERP system, as do almost as many (44%) for their statutory consolidation system. The rest mainly had no preference. In contrast, only 29 percent said they prefer in-house deployment for their sales tax management software, a category well suited to cloud deployment because it rarely requires customization but does require ongoing updates to tax rates, which are done automatically as part of the service. Our research also found that companies are keeping their ERP systems longer than they did a decade ago – on average 6.4 years vs. 5.1 years.
The longevity of on-premises core finance applications means that the major players in today's software market are well positioned to remain leaders over the next decade (if only because the transition will be slow), but their future market positions are far from certain. For Oracle, evolution to the cloud poses fundamental challenges by undercutting some of the pillars of its existing market strength.
A defining, ongoing trend in business computing over the coming decade will be the disintermediation of IT departments and systems integrators (the consultants who install software packages), as customization gives way to off-the-rack approaches. Both of these groups have been important to Oracle's market position and pricing power. I estimate that the share of corporate IT budgets that go to IT departments and systems integrators today will be cut by at least half, and some of the savings will accrue to companies in the form of lower total cost of ownership (and therefore permanently lower IT budgets) and some will be captured by cloud service providers, which will assume responsibilities for work now performed in-house. The shift to the cloud is likely to hollow out IT departments as, over the next 10 years, companies phase out most of the "keep the lights on" activities that consume a large percentage of their IT budgets as they shift their application software deployments to the cloud. Except in companies where IT is a strategic competence, most will resize the group to focus mainly on what's essential. As usual, IT professionals made up the vast majority of attendees to this year's OpenWorld. It's likely that substantially fewer of them will be in those roles a decade from now.
Oracle stands to lose significant revenue from its highly profitable database business as existing database customers shift to software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings that use open source databases. In the cloud, nobody cares what database you're running. Some of the superior operating economics of cloud solutions rests on the service providers' ability to utilize the less expensive open source software. Some of this loss will be offset by Oracle's emerging set of cloud services (including, for instance, the platform as a service and private cloud hosting) that were highlighted in the keynote sessions. Oracle is well positioned to become the market leader in the private cloud services segment by dint of customer loyalty and its historical ability to drive down its operating costs faster and further than others. But it's unlikely that the company as a whole will sustain its current margins because in the more competitive cloud services markets it will not have the same pricing power it enjoys today in the database business.
So it's critical for Oracle to pivot toward business applications because higher revenues in this part of the business can offset the negative impact the cloud will have on its on-premises database and middleware businesses. There are abundant opportunities for a company as diverse in its offerings as Oracle to increase its revenue stream from business application customers by some multiple of their current maintenance charges (on the order of one-and-a-half to two times) and still cut the customer's total cost of ownership. Controlling the migration of existing on-premises customers to its cloud offerings, adding additional applications and services, and attracting new business application customers all are essential to the company.
The shift to deploying business applications in the cloud will be driven by three main factors. One is eliminating the need – or the perceived need – for customization. Over the next decade vendors' offerings will evolve to be more readily configurable, as I have discussed, and corporations will be less willing to pay for customization if there is a reasonable alternative. The second is the persuasive economics of letting a third party – not an internal IT group – handle the day-to-day operations of all but the most strategic aspects of their business computing environment. Together the two will convince most companies to eliminate all but the essential custom code in their business computing environment. Seven-figure projects will get far greater scrutiny by company boards. The third is a recognition that for all but the largest companies, service providers can deliver better security and higher-quality infrastructure than internal IT groups can. In this environment, IT organizations will avoid oblivion only to the extent that they can provide differentiated, strategically valuable capabilities. This disintermediation will produce a relentless decline in the number of people employed in corporate IT departments and a diminishing influence in business application purchase decisions. As IT departments shrink and continue to lose influence in selecting business application vendors, Oracle faces a diminishing advantage from this constituency.
The cloud allows line-of-business and finance executives to gain increasing influence on buying and operating the software their organizations use to run the business, analyze and communicate results and plan its future. So it's essential that Oracle shift its attention to business users. This will not be easy for an organization that historically has treated business applications as a sideshow and has an ingrained cultural bias that regards this software as technologically trivial. Several years ago, in his opening OpenWorld keynote, Larry Ellison was part of the way into the second slide in the section covering the applications business (which was about the 127th of his keynote), when he stopped, scanned the rest of the bullet points and then, looking back at the audience said, "Yadda, yadda, yadda." He skipped the rest of the applications slides and moved on to next section. Going forward the company needs a change in the tone from the top.
Oracle has substantive advantages that it can exploit to gain share in the business applications markets. As a result of its participation in the consolidation of those markets over the past 15 years, its portfolio covers a broad swath of business functions with mature offerings that have an exceptionally rich set of functionality. Rewriting on-premises software for the cloud (already under way but not yet complete) isn't easy, but the necessary intellectual property (that is, subject matter expertise) is already there and so is an existing installed base that can be farmed to migrate to cloud services. Moreover, for at least a decade, most companies are likely to maintain a hybrid computing environment that combines cloud and on-premises deployments. For example, this will be true for ERP systems, as I've noted. If Oracle can cut its cost of providing private cloud services, it should be able to make this an attractive offering to companies that need their customized code and cannot make a multitenant SaaS application work for them. Similarly, some organizations will be able to accept a multitenant application for some functions in a software suite (such as core financial management) but maintain a customized code base for others. Oracle's full-service approach to applications in the cloud will be appealing to organizations that are not turned off by the risk of being locked in and even to those that want to choose from a menu of cloud and on-premises services and software.
Even with these strengths Oracle faces three main challenges in business applications: modernization, customer engagement and operational execution. The company is heading in the right direction in each of these areas, but much is left to be done and success is far from assured.
Today's business software in general needs a design overhaul that is more than a change in motif. Regardless of how business software is deployed, vendors will have to focus development efforts on improving the user experience to enhance productivity and organizational effectiveness. They will have to consider the mental ergonomics of performing work, which I have written about. They must adapt business applications to utilize the expanding interface modes (for instance, touch screens and glasses) along with an expanding syntax of interactions (such as gestures). With so many aspects of business applications becoming a commodity (in which all the core features and functions are essentially the same), vendors need to rethink how users work with their software with the objective of simplifying and streamlining user interfaces. Of course, aesthetic qualities also count, which is why so many business software vendors are now touting their "consumerized" designs.
Modern business applications also need collaboration–in-context capabilities to replace email and attachments. "In context" here means that the software understands what the user is doing at that moment and facilitates conversations with one, several or all of the people with whom that individual would interact in performing that task. Such conversations should offer the flexibility of occurring in the moment or over time. Another key will be the ability to easily reference documents, line items in a database, journal entries and spreadsheets as part of that conversation and to apply access rules to each participant in the conversation.
Oracle has a deep connection with its IT audience but much less of one with business users. This year, Oracle built a Modern Finance Experience event into OpenWorld, which is a great start to deeper engagement with these customers. Unfortunately, OpenWorld is not the venue for finance organizations because it usually falls at a time when finance professionals need to be in the office to handle period's end processes. It's also important for the company to infuse its business applications events with the same enthusiasm and support that prevailed in the PeopleSoft and Hyperion gatherings before Oracle acquired and absorbed them.
Sustaining high levels of customer satisfaction and customer engagement are key objectives for software-as-a-service vendors. Our recurring revenue benchmark research shows that for a majority (55%) of companies sustaining customer engagement is a challenge. Very likely for that reason 46 percent of participants said that cross-selling and up-selling (to add incremental revenue streams) is a concern. How well a SaaS vendor delivers its service is less difficult for relatively simple applications (such as expense management or even business planning) than for something as complex as ERP. Because it is positioning its cloud offerings to appeal to organizations that want to attempt more complex cloud deployments, Oracle is likely to find maintaining satisfaction more difficult. Reputations will be made or lost over the next five years.
Oracle is in position for a world heading for a hybrid cloud and on-premises IT environment. However, there are significant changes that the company must implement over the coming decade to retain its leadership position. Chief among these will be a pivot to emphasize business applications and spur greater engagement with line-of-business and finance department customers.

But we still get the question on a daily basis: "Is it really possible to completely get rid of type 2 diabetes?"
Don't take our word for it, because today we're featuring a 76-year-old Sioux Falls woman who answers this question with a definite YES. Going from hospital food to health freak (not really), she made the change to a diabetes-free life.
To learn exactly how she did it, click the play button on the video above for today's case study…

While fires burned at the World Trade Center, Islamists saw fit to murder Ross Parker in the UK. Ross would have been 30 this month.
On September 21, 2001, firefighters still battled flames at the World Trade Center. The spray of water was putting out some of the fires but the waters could have been a metaphor for tears; as also being extinguished were the hopes of rescuing any more survivors from the Islamic attack...Also part of this sad day, Islamists in the United Kingdom decided to kill Ross Parker.
Ross Parker was a small but determined young man. Nicknamed "Half Pint" due to being 5 foot 5 inches tall, Ross worked as a cellerman at a local pub and had completed business studies at his high school. He loved soccer and his dream was to be a police officer, despite his smaller size and having broken his leg twice previously.
Ross must have felt a kinship with the 23 New York City Police Officers, 37 Port Authority Police Officers, three New York State Court Officers, One Secret Service Agent, and one FBI Agent who were killed at the World Trade Center. Indeed, he probably felt for all the victims and wished he could have been there helping to find them. He would never get his chance to serve the people.
Early in the morning on September 21, 2001, Ross was engaged in life and was walking with his girlfriend on a cycle path. They were holding hands and. They were confronted by a Muslim gang; Ahmed Ali Awan, Shaied Nazir, and Sarfraz Ali.
The gang told parker to start running but blocked his path. The thugs sprayed CS (tear) gas in Ross' face. He was stabbed from behind "three times through the throat and chest." The weapon was a foot long hunting knife. The Muslims also punched Ross, kicked him, and hit him with a hammer.
His girlfriend ran away to a nearby gas station and found a man who gave his cell phone to her so she could call the police. While making the call, she heard Ross scream. Immediately after she flagged down a passing police vehicle. When the vehicle, with Ross' girlfriend, reached the scene he was already dead. Ross' last few minutes on earth were the agony of bleeding to death. He was alone for even his cowardly attackers ran off.

"This "stuffing" is inspired by a Julia Child recipe for stuffing a goose. However, it works very well with turkey. The traditional bread/grain component is replaced by chestnuts, which add a mild nutty flavor to the otherwise hearty dish. The primary goal was to create a gluten-free, coeliac-friendly recipe. The result was so good that this recipe has earned a permanent place on our holiday menu pick-list! Ideas: 1) make only the Chestnut Purée, substituting a hearty vegetable stock for the beef stock, and serve as a vegetarian side dish. 2) Or, use this stuffing in place of traditional meat/bread-crumb mixture in stuffed peppers. 3) Better yet, scoop out summer squash into boats, incorporate some of the squash in the stuffing, bake with shredded cheese. Notes: preparing chestnuts is labor intensive. Plan accordingly. I found that the small (acorn size) otherwise inferior looking chestnuts peel much easier than the beautiful large (almost shallot size) chestnuts. YMMV."

Under Armour Invitational: Figure eight for Black
ARLINGTON, Texas -- After two long days of competition, most of the touted teams and their talents were sent packing before the third day of the Under Armour Invitational Sunday. Nonetheless, take a look at the top story lines from Day Three in Texas.
Black focused on eight
The highest-rated 2014 player in this weekend's tournament, five-star Leron Black, is focusing on eight schools.
Illinois, Florida, Ohio State, Baylor, UConn, N.C. State, Tennessee and UCLA have all caught his attention.
"They're the ones I mainly talk to," Team Thad's 6-foot-7 forward said.
All have offered, with the exception of UCLA, although that scholarship might be on the way too if he makes it out to Los Angeles next week for the Pangos All-American camp.
Nonetheless, all eight programs stand out for one big reason: Their coaches respect his religion and his beliefs.
"I'm big on my religion," Black said. "So I want to go somewhere where I can talk to coach or with coaches who don't have a problem with me going to church or anything like that. I'm big on that. So I want to be somewhere where I can express myself and my Christianity.
"All of them have that."
While the list is narrowed, Black is nowhere near picking one of the eight. He's yet to schedule any visits or really dissect his favorites. He does plan to make his decision before the November signing period, however.
Diamond shaping up
Five-star 2015 center Diamond Stone is slimming down, and his game keeps going up.
The highest-rated player in the Under Armour event, Stone had a great weekend in Texas, logging double-doubles with ease and even recording a triple-double in Saturday's showcase game against Seventh Woods and the Carolina Wolves.
The No. 4 player in his class says he owes a lot of that to getting in better shape.
"I was 261 (last summer)," Stone said. "Now I'm 250. I lost some pounds."
He's been running more, eating better and playing more basketball. All of it has helped him get up and down the floor quicker, and helped his already-good flexibility.
"I'm working hard to get to the next level," Stone said. "I've just been working constantly with my team."
Next up for Stone is to add some muscle mass and get stronger in the paint. Maybe even get taller, too.
"I'm trying to beef it up," Stone said. "I'm trying to get stronger and hopefully if I get taller that will help, too."
Body work
Stone wasn't the only Rivals Top 30 player at the Under Armour Invitational working on his frame.
Louisville commit and four-star point guard Quentin Snider said the Cardinals coaching staff has asked him to bulk up, and that's what he's currently trying to do.
"Basically, I'm trying to work on my body," Snider said. "I haven't really touched the ball except for practices with the Magic. But basically, I'm just working on my upper body and my athleticism and everything."
Weighing 170 right now, Snider said he'd like to be up to 180 sometime soon.
"(Louisville) just said to get in the weight room and that's what I've been doing," Snider said. "Gaining weight, eating a lot. After a workout I have to drink Muscle Milk and eat potatoes and stuff."
Once he gets that mass, he expects to compete for playing time right away for Lousiville in 2014.
"They see me my freshman year playing behind Chris Jones," Snider said. "And then the rest of my career, I'll be a starter and stuff."
Sunday tip-ins
Houston Defenders forward Joe Burton said the schools coming after him the hardest right now are Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Missouri, Boise State, UTEP, Texas A&M and Houston. He said he'd like to visit most of those schools in the next few months.
Team Thad's 16U team rolled to a championship Sunday afternoon, and two of its best prospects shined throughout the day. Sophomore point guard Jeremiah Martin played well, using his athleticism and good court vision to score points. Sophomore forward LeGerald Vick, meanwhile, was a human highlight reel with high-flying dunks and good defense.
Ray Allen Select guard Riley LaChance was one of the better shooters in this weekend's tournament. He said Drake is coming after him the hardest right now, but said high-major schools such as Missouri, West Virginia, Northwestern and Stanford are all coming after him as well.
Possibly the best 2017 prospect in attendance Sunday was Power Group's Mitchell Ballock. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound wing dunked with authority and showed good poise with the basketball.
DC Assault's 2016 point guard Anthony Cowan said West Virginia, Virginia, Georgetown, Xavier, Cincinnati and Rutgers all have shown interest lately.

Google Glass Moves Into Companies as APX Labs Raises $10 Million
"OK Glass, are companies going to buy you?"
That's the question startups are asking as they determine whether Google Glass is a promising platform for business applications. APX Labs LLC is betting the answer is yes -- the company said today it raised $10 million in a funding round led by New Enterprise Associates.
Google Inc. started prototyping the smart glasses in 2012 and held a one-day sale last week allowing consumers to buy them for $1,500. The Web-connected gadgets respond to voice commands beginning with the prompt, "OK Glass." Earlier this month, the company announced "Glass at Work," an initiative to encourage software developers to target businesses.
APX, based in Herndon, Virginia, is one of the companies Google promoted in introducing the business program. The startup, which entered the computerized eyewear market in 2010, provides software that works on Glass and Seiko Epson Corp.'s Moverio devices. It initially focused on military applications before expanding into commercial uses.
APX's software displays visual information that melds with an employee's environment. For example, it could show a warehouse worker where something needs to be restocked or a mechanic what part to use for a car repair.
"We can show people that it's no longer science fiction," said Brian Ballard, APX's co-founder and chief executive officer. "Seeing really is believing."
Sales of wearable gadgets, including eyewear and smartwatches, will reach 111.9 million units in 2018, up from more than 19 million this year, according to estimates from researcher IDC.
APX, which has raised a total of almost $16 million, will use the capital to hire salespeople and engineers, Ballard said. The company has about 45 employees and dozens of large customers that are buying its products for the practical help they provide, he said.
"Enterprise smart glasses may not be huge today, but it has so much potential," said Dayna Grayson, a partner at NEA in Washington who is joining the APX board along with Peter Barris, another partner at the firm. "We feel like it's going to grow really, really quickly."

I'm thinking of making a larger drawing than I ever have, about 30x40 inches, but I need a good photo reference for this one. I'm not so good at drawing from my imagination still so I really need a good photo to work from on this, I just haven't found the right one..
What I envision is a night scene in the forest illuminated by the powerful light of a full moon. The light travels directly towards me, sifts through the branches of tall/strong trees, and spills into a small open meadow of earth.
If anyone would like to help me make this drawing a reality I'd love to see any reference photos you can find. Also, is there somewhere here on deviantart I could post this to find help? I haven't really taken advantage of the discussion boards on here and don't know what they are like or how to really use them that well. Thanks so much for any help, I totally appreciate it.

NYX Smokey Eyes Eyeshadow Palette

Package Quality: 4.1
Price: $$
Package Quality: 4.1
Price: $$
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Black
I've been searching for a black-brown eyeshadow color for so long. Then, I came across this palette & purchased it. It have been my FAVOURITE everyday eyeshadow palette since then! Love how pigmented they are but the only thing I don't like about it is that it picked up too much product even without much effort & made a mess. But overall best smokey eyeshadow palette.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Dark, Warm
Hair: Brown, Kinky, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
Some of the shades are not as pigmented as I would like them to be but its still a good palette for a natural to smokey eye look. The shadows are soft and blendable. I love the sleek packaging. Very convenient for travel. $10 at Ulta but I had a $5 off coupon thanks to Instyle magazine.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is a nice, cute palette! There are various shades of grey, a couple of highlight colors, a deep black brown, and a straight up black (the last two are hard to tell apart unless if you swatch them side by side). With these colors, you can create a subtle smokey eye for the day, or something more sultry for the night time.
I got this at Ulta for around $7 on sale. There is no doubt that the price is VERY reasonable. However, there are a few cons that I think should be addressed. The shadows aren't highly pigmented like NYX's singles are, but it's not to say that their pigmentation is poor either. This can either be a good thing or bad thing, IMO. It's great for those who are new to smokey eyes or makeup in general. Shadows with extremely high pigmentation aren't necessarily the most fool-resistant products for beginners. Thus, I would rate their pigmentation higher than most drug store brands. Just keep in mind that some colors may need to be built up. Secondly, the shimmery colors have quite a bit of fallout. If you don't put on your eyeshadow before your foundation/concealer/face makeup during your regular makeup routine, it may be a good idea to do this if you're using this palette!
I'll be wearing some eyeshadow from this palette for my anniversary dinner this coming weekend. I practiced and followed Nancy Valentino's tutorial of this palette (I will post a link at the end of this review), except I didn't add the taupe-gold pigment in the end and I used the 3rd shade (matte dark grey-brown) for the crease and the 4th shade (matte deep brown-black) for the outer V. I was VERY amazed with the end result. All the colors I used blended so well with each other. The final look was definitely sexy and it intensified my dark brown eyes. Very sweet :D
I think this palette is worth giving a try, whether you are a beginner, an avid high-end buyer...or ANYONE really. If you are looking for a good quality, inexpensive palette, you will strike gold (errr...silver) with this one!
The link to the tutorial:
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Once again, this palette is similar to the Champagne and Caviar in that a lot of the colors look the same. The dark colors are almost identical and the silvers too. Very disappointed.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This is a fun product to do smokey eyes with, even if you're a novice like me. The light gray colors are great for wearing during the day too. They last all day when worn with UDPP. I think this might make a good holiday gift idea too. On sale at Ulta it was around $6, but normally $10.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Medium, Cool
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I love this palette, this is a great travel palette as it has a variety of gray tones, brown, and highlights to do neutral and of course the smokey looks. This reminds me of the NYX caribbean collection, because I also have that in 'I love Jamaica'. Similiar colors, just more shadows. Greatly pigmented and just a beauitful variety of colors to play with. It's inexpensive too! Can't go wrong for $10, this palette is well worth it.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Great palette! I use atleast one of these colors daily... I got it half off at Ulta. So happy!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Amazing! Use it almost everyday! Great color payoff! Blends very well! Also great price! 10 bucks for 10 shadows! Great smokey eyes! Love it! :)
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I had planned to give this 4 stars claiming it wasn't as good as my favorite palette, Urban Decay Ammo. Its still not my favorite, but it is good. Its a good "need to do my work make-up in a hurry without too much work or planning". It has all you need for either a brown or a true gray-based smokey eye. I was going to take a lippie off for the colors being to similar, but the texture earned it back its fifth lippie. Its smooth and blends really well. Finally something from NYX that hasn't disappointed me. I'm kind of interested in their other pallets now.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Kinky, Medium
Eyes: Blue
This eyeshadow is very smooth, good quality and pigmented. It is great for creating the smokey eye. Some of the greys have a shimmer to them which I love. While others are a bit more matte. A lot of the colours are similar, though they are subtly different and do create slightly different looks. I love the pearly white, shimmering cool grey, shimmering black, and the creamy base colour.
The colours last all day, I have even fallen asleep to wake up to perfect eyeshadow. The only problem is upon application there can be slight dust like shadow under your eyes, though it can be cleaned up or brushed away easily. I usually have trouble with creasing shadow or colour coming off easily. Though this palette gives me no such trouble. It is my favourite palette, I use it solely. I got it at around $12 on ebay, so it's a great price for its quality.

They're running limited flash deals. Pay attention!
Whilst the site doesn't have the largest catalog of games, I always appreciate the effort GOG.com puts into making its sales interesting. Right now, there's an Insomnia sale happening which is taking a novel approach to flash deals. Each deal has a limited number of "copies" and once they're sold out, that's the deal over.
There's a counter on the main page of the site showing you how many copies are left and it's compelling viewing. I've just seen 200 copies of Fez and Baldur's Gate sell for a couple of dollars in less than a minute. It's a novel idea for a sale and I'm keeping a tab open all night to see if Privateer 2: The Darkening goes on sale.
