This post deserves a longer engagement. :) I agree, when creating online presence you have to make it sound 'human' and make them feel that you're someone they could talk and ask for advice and not just an answering machine or automated tool. What drives clickers are feelings that triggers their interest.
12 Most Cool Social Media Practices to Avoid Looking Like a Jerk
Imagine you're at a party and a smiling person comes over for a chat.
Except, instead of a conversation — you know… where one of you talks and the other responds — this person just starts yelling random bits of information at you. First, he starts yelling about what he had for breakfast, then his gym workout, followed by how much he hates his boss, and a quote from Buddha.
Before you can even get a word in, he gets up and walks away, headed toward the next person in the room. Well, what if everyone at the party was doing this?
I'm sure you wouldn't stay long. Unfortunately, this is exactly the way most people (and businesses) treat social media. Instead of using it as a forum to be, well… social, much of what we see in the space is anything but good conversation. That's probably why, thus far, social media (which if you think about it, is really still in its infancy) has been a good conduit for disseminating information to people who already like you, but a poor tool for building brand new connections.
And that makes sense. Good relationships are built on trust, and it's pretty difficult to trust someone who just wants to use you as a sounding board for their random ideas.
So, whether it's Twitter, Facebook, blogs, podcasts, or real-life events, follow these guidelines for making social media a thriving social place.
1. Call people by name
Legendary sales coach Dale Carnegie famously said that the sweetest sound to anyone is hearing their name. Simply put, when you say (or type) a person's name, you make them feel special — a feeling we are all seeking in the landscape of anonymity that often defines the Internet.
2. Be nice
There's a lot of snark online. So much so, that being polite and kind can really stick out and attract attention. It's not that you have to be a suck-up, just follow the golden rule and treat people like you want to be treated. You'll be amazed how well others will respond.
3. Ask questions
Another way to make people feel special is to ask them questions. Now, I don't mean being a critical meanie about stuff. Nor do I mean asking the kinds of questions that are intended to show how smart you are (c'mon, we've all been guilty of that). While these approaches may give us a temporary satisfaction of know-it-allness, they ultimately just put people on the defensive and end up getting you nowhere.
Instead, try starting your questions with the phrase, "have you thought of…" and then offer a constructive point of view that helps the person strengthen their idea.
4. Compliment people
Surprise, surprise… people like it (a lot!) when you say nice things about them. Many of the people online are looking for validation — about their business, their ideas, or their life's general direction. This can be a scary proposition to say the least. Providing some encouragement helps them know they are on the right track. But don't just say "nice post" — pick something specific out that you think is unique about them or that you learned from a piece of content they created.
5. Arouse emotions
In his awesome book Contagious, Wharton professor Jonah Berger showed us that one of the key reasons people share content online is because it arouses them emotionally.
Take the time to figure out what kind of emotions move your audience.
But in doing so, it's also important to remember that not all emotion is created equal. In his research, Berger identifies that certain kinds of emotions — those that get people "aroused" like awe, passion, and anger — are much more likely to drive shares than those that make people feel toned down — like sadness, relaxation, or contentment.
6. Use video and sound
One thing that keeps people from connecting is the general, impersonal nature of it all. Human beings like to connect with other human beings — not with text on a screen. That's why sounds, images, and the look in a person's eye go a long way to building connections that last. Try using Google Hangouts, Skype, GoToMeeting, or similar platforms to add a human touch. Get beyond the basic webinar and make it a conversation by featuring other people in your online presentations, instead of just making yourself a talking head.
7. Don't take yourself too seriously
Nobody wants to be friends with the guy who has a stick up his you-know-what. You don't need to be a clown, but a bit of humor and levity will break up the monotony of the many corporate-clean folks found on the Internet, allowing you to stand out and get noticed.
8. Don't chirp
"Chirps" are the random posts people put up, thinking themselves profound, but which generally come off as seeming random and out of context. Just because a thought crosses your mind does not mean you have to share it with the world. Instead, focus on finding ways to provide real value to your audience. Before you produce a piece of content, whether it's a long blog post or a simple tweet — ask yourself how it solves a specific problem your audience is facing.
9. Don't be a robot
First off, it's time to cool it with the automated tweets. It's fine to schedule a tweet or two during the day, but there are some Twitter accounts that seem to throw up a post every five minutes or so, no matter what time of day or night it is.
Secondly, it's important to go beyond the retweet. Instead, repackage content from other sites by putting your own unique twist on it. Try rewriting the headline or simply letting your followers know why you think it's helpful.
10. Don't be presumptuous about relationships
Just because someone follows you, retweets you, or even lets you guest post, it does not mean that their world suddenly revolves around making sure you are successful. Acting that way just makes people think you want to take advantage of them. This is especially true for influential people, who are skeptical by nature because they really do have lots of people asking them for favors.
11. Take a break every once in a while
I'm not sure who decided that to be successful on social media you have to be a constant presence. The reality is that a lot of the constant activity comes off as noise and people just tune it out. People will interact a lot more with you when you pop up unexpectedly, rather than if you are just in their feed every time they log on.
12. Always give more than you take
There's perhaps no more valuable rule for social media than to always offer more value to people than you ask of them. In other words, by keeping yourself on the lookout for problems to solve for people, you are going to make yourself a lot more friends than if you are always trying to figure out what you can get from them.
In order to truly harness the power of social media — especially if you're trying to make money with it — you have to make it a more social place. Follow these guidelines and you won't be left shouting while your competition is enjoying a great conversation.

HI Jake,
I enjoyed this post. Usinmg people's names in addition to their handle is a new one I'll take away from this.
On #11, I guess I fall into the "take a break" camp. I can imagine if you are Guy Kawasaki, people will miss you when you don't show up as expected. For the rest of us, I'm not sure the same applies. I find that on twitter, I'm more likely to notice someone when I haven't heard from them in a while.
On the other end of the spectrum, when someone sends out 10 tweets at the same time, I'll scroll past every one of them. If you are using automation, please spread them out. If I find you have some good ones, I'll look at your whole stream!
Hey Jake,
Thanks for an entertaining, informative post. I agree with all but #9. In fact, one of the best in the business, Guy Kawasaki, also disagrees. If you want to engage a large audience, it's important to share content around the clock. I have followers who are awake when I'm sleeping. Since I can't tweet at 3 AM, I use Buffer to share my content. The content is insightful and I try to add my own spin or hashtag to it. It does go out 24/7, though.
So much good information. Yes, I thought you had to be on google+, Facebook and Twitter everyday. Thanks for giving me a day or two off. When you say mention a person's name do you mean @JakeParent a person? Many times one cannot add any words to a tweet because you'll go over the limit. I'm also alway concerned about editing others words.
Bottom line this was an excellent 12Most. Thanks.
A much needed article - thank you! It covered this topic very thoroughly! I think these skills are especially important because often I see people using the same communication style from social media in live conversations, which seems abrupt and impersonal. As with a real conversation, I'd rather have a dialogue than hold up a thumbs-up.
@markbarnes19 I can agree with automation :) It is a great way to engage audience on the other side of time and it is also good because in social media timing is everything. If you schedule content you make sure to be there when you need to be there. Years have thought me that reach can increase or not in a matter of minutes.
@Jake The overal post is ok - I can agree with it, although the real complexity of social media mechanisms go far beyond this basic list.
@markbarnes19 Hey Mark - Thanks for the kind words and the thoughts. I would agree that some people make good use of being a constant presence. But I'm always cautious when people say things like they are going to just do was Guy Kawasaki/Seth Godin/etc. do. Those folks are somewhat special as they are such authorities people will put up with most anything.
I follow Guy and love a lot of stuff he does, but I also find much of what he posts (especially on G+) to be somewhat irrelevant to the context in which I follow them.
Ultimately, like everything in marketing though, it comes down to what works with your particular audience!
Since you have found success with this tactic, I'd love to hear how you manage to weave in constant informative posts with the need to develop a narrative about your own self?
@Sandra Sallin Hi Sandra. Thanks for the kind words! I definitely think you should use the person's actual name (not just their handle), especially when you are addressing them personally (for example, asking them a question about their Tweet). However, when you Retweet someone, I don't think the same rule applies.
On editing other's words, I actually think there is a lot of value in repackaging links in a way that explains why YOU think it is important. Shows that you actually took the time to read it and process the information.
Hope that helps... :)
@CharissaKerr Thanks Charissa! And you're totally right. Ultimately, good communication involves the same approach, whether it's online or offline. :-)

Been here? Rate It!
Subeez Cafe: Eclectic and Funky
The sister restaurant of Waazubee's on Commercial Drive. This candle-lit, funky restaurant is not prized on its lax service. What is great are the chicken and brie baguette, garlic-mayo fries, warm goat cheese salad, or pasta entrees. Always a great selection of martinis. The fresh-pressed apple juice is delicious.
Subeez Cafe: Great for brunch or late night lounging
Subeez is popular in Vancouver among the young and the hip because it has a comfy, trendy vibe which is totally chilled out.
Subeez can be somewhat cavernous at first glance, as it has a mainly concrete interior and high ceilings. This would be more noticeable in the day time when Subeez is at its quietest.
Local artists display their artwork on the walls, so the visual stimulants are always changing. The wax drippings are also a well known feature at Subeez, hanging off the chandeliers and candelabras.
I find, however, the Subeez comes alive at night. This is where the fusion of restaurant, bar and lounge takes place. If you're looking for a pre-club meal, a post-movie dessert date, or a location where you can meet up with a group of friends for endless martinis late into the night, Subeez is ideal. I actually prefer it at night because the atmosphere is much more alive. People tend to be dressed up more at night, the music becomes more prominant and Subeez creates its own vibrant lounge scene.
The seating arrangements within Subeez vary depending on where you are. There's a patio outside along Smithe Street for those who smoke or prefer the outdoors. Inside, the restaurant is shaped like a giant L, with one wing offering booth and barstool table seating, while the other wing has wide picnic-like tables and low-lying chairs. The conjunction of the two wings houses the bar where people commonly mill about, flirting and enjoying the night.
Music at Subeez is ecclectic and refreshing. You won't find headache music or hard thumping R&B. Instead, think of experimental indie rock, pogo-jumping 80's revival pop, heart-breaking country soul, or that latest track by Modest Mouse. The music never overwhelms Subeez, but can be noticed by critical music lovers who listen.
Servers attitudes can range from genuinely friendly to flatly dead-pan indifferent. I've been to Subeez many times and I find myself always coming back; it always suits my mood.
Favorite Dish: The smoked salmon eggs benny for brunch is great way to start off a lazy weekend morning.
"Coffee" at Subeez is served French bistro style. It's actually an Americano (espresso with hot water) served to you on a silver tray with a glass of water.
The grilled chicken & brie sandwich is tasty and perfect for lunch when you want more than soup or salad, but you don't want to eat so much that you make yourself sick. This sandwich (served with mesculin greens salad and garlic mayo fries) will satisfy your hunger.
For $10, you can't go wrong with the ahi tuna burger cooked medium rare, served with a slice of orange in the bun, and wasabi mayo. The burger comes with mesculin greens salad and garlic mayo fries. The fries are thin and crispy like traditional French pomme frites.
Be sure to take a look at the ever-changing dessert bar. There are always great cheesecakes and other sweet concoctions to be tasted.
Hard to find in Vancouver but available at Subeez is elderflower water. It's a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage which is served chilled in a wine glass. It has a subtle floral taste reminiscent of wine white. This is my favourite.
However, for those looking for a slight buzz, the espresso martinis are dangerously delicious! My new favourite however as their bourbon sours!
Subeez Cafe: Hip crowd at a hip part of town
This place is huge! It appeals mostly to the young crowd from yaletown, but it's definately worth a try for everybody. The food is good, and the ambiance is very cool. There's tons of eclectic art around and a very relaxed atmosphere.
Favorite Dish: Tiramisu!
Subeez Cafe: Eclectic and Chill
This is a great spot to come it you have time to kill. The service can be slow, but some times that's a good thing! Subeez has a great ambience with industrial style decor, cool music and local art pieces dress up the walls.
Favorite Dish: Lots of things are great. But if you are looking for something simple to share. The garlic mayo curly fries are great!

Ok if no other optionsPosted on 08 / 31 / 2014
I hate to give a bad review since this is a vegetarian restaurant but I don't think it deserves high reviews. We recently went there and met by unfriendly staff. We went up to get our food and was about to dish up some food when I noticed some white cubes floating in the sauce. I asked if that was tofu and they said no it is cheese even though the label said vegan. Turns out that they forgot to change the labels around for the day. The food was ok but it was mainly fried without much taste. After my meal I went to use the bathroom where I saw one of the cooks using the restroom. Not only was he using the restroom in his apron but he walked straight out the door without washing his hands. Gross!!!
Cons: bad location, unfriendly staff, not clean

What lump sum should I offer to debt collectors to settle?
Like any other negotiation, you're better off to start low
By Erica Sandberg
Opening Credits
Dear Opening Credits,
I have $80,000 in private student loan debt (from law school), not to mention another $100,000 in Stafford PLUS loans. I had trouble paying my loans two years back, and the private lender wouldn't come up with a payment plan I could afford, so I defaulted. It went into collections and has been for two years. I am still current on the federal loans.
My father came into a lot of money recently and is willing to buy out the defaulted private loan in one lump sum in order to wipe it from my credit report. I know that collections agencies can settle loans paid in one lump sum for pennies on the dollar. What is a reasonable one-time lump sum offer, including the requirement that they remove it from my credit report? Obviously, it's negotiable, but what is the industry standard? Would 30 cents on the dollar be a good offer? Where does one start in negotiations like this? I know I need to get an attorney to represent me in the negotiations, but I would like some industry standards to work from. If they don't take a significant haircut, I have little incentive to settle it in a lump sum. -- Adam
Dear Adam,
I think settling the defaulted student loan is a fine idea and definitely worthy of a try. Your dad is a gem to help you out.
However, hard numbers or percentages don't exist because every collection agency has its own policy. Still, there are some guidelines I can share. Here's what you need to know and do.
That third-party company bought the account for a fraction of its true worth, and ideally would like you to pay the full balance. The difference between their purchase price and the amount you cough up is their profit margin. That purchase price, according to online debt auctions, can be as little as 2 cents to 4 cents of every dollar owed. Like any business, their aim is to buy low and sell high.
There is a good reason that a collector might agree to a lesser amount than is actually due. It's because the effort they put forth in getting you to pay is eliminated when you just cut a check. All those phone calls, letters and threats take time and energy, and their failure rate is high. By you sending at least a little more than what they spent, they come out ahead and can turn their attention to other pesky accounts in their system.
So how much is the perfect amount to begin negotiations? A key but unknown (to you) factor is the sum the collection agency paid for the account. If you had that information, you'd have a clear place to start. Problem is, even if you asked, they wouldn't tell you. So you have to guess, and it doesn't hurt to start low. Go ahead and offer 25 percent of the balance -- around $20,000. Explain that you are prepared to send a money order immediately, as long as they sign an agreement that secures the settlement. You don't need an attorney to draw up such a contract, but if you don't mind shelling out a few bucks for one it doesn't hurt to do so.
The collector will either jump on your proposal or reject it. If they say yes, send the agreement, have them sign and return it and then shoot them the money. In the event of a denial, increase your offer to a comfortable figure. With some back-and-forth bargaining, you can probably come up with a deal that both you and the collector can live with. But do keep in mind that they are under no obligation to accept anything but the complete balance. The ball is in their court, not yours.
Know, too, that walking away from a portion of your loan will save you some cash, but maybe not quite as much as you think. The IRS considers forgiven debt as income, so a bigger tax bill may be in your future.
As for your credit report, you were delinquent on payments and the debt was sold to a collection agency. Those are facts, and you can't have those notations removed before they "age off" your credit report seven years after the original loan holder charged off the account. Additionally, your reports will indicate that you've settled the obligation, which doesn't look quite as wonderful as satisfying it in full.
From here on out, keep your credit clean. Borrow prudently and pay according to the contract.

Best Answer
Reading books is not your thing. It's not my thing either (apart from biographies) and my preferred medium would is listening also.

It's not cheating or anything intelligence related. For me, I just don't have the patience for reading books.

Space Infantry (SI) is a solitaire game of squad-level combat in the future. In Space Infantry you control a team of 4/8 soldiers on a series of missions that can be played individually or as a campaign.
Each mission takes about 20 minutes to be completed.
SI is a modular game; the overall structure of SI will make it possible to easily add new features to the game (missions, enemies, equipment): this means that in the future additional components will add new options to the existing missions, increasing the lifetime of SI.
SI started as a free game, and has now been published by Lock'n Load games - go to http://locknloadgame.com/ for more details

Talk:George Antheil
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day... section on August 11, 2010, August 11, 2011, and August 11, 2014.
The woman in the middle of the photograph with the caption "Jane Heap and Margaret Anderson with Ezra Pound" is, to the best of my knowledge, Mina Loy, not Margaret Anderson. This can be verified by checking Carolyn Burke's biography of Mina Loy, which I don't have on hand. As the picture doesn't feature Antheil, and Pound, Heap, or Loy aren't even mentioned in the article, I'm deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:55, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
month of birth[edit]
I have another source that says Antheil was born in July (the rest of the date is the same). Is this correct? Classicalkid87 15:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't want to alter the main page without first checking, seeing as the writer seems so sure about their correctness, but Antheil's autobiography makes mention of his family in Poland, whom he visits. Anyone have any better knowledge than I do? Tomkeene (talk) 16:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the question. I am Antheil's grandnephew and I can tell you definitively that George was not Polish.
- First: Please sign your posts on talk pages per Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. Thanks!
- Secondly, fortunately or unfortunately, you can't, not on Wikipedia, at least. See Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability. Hyacinth (talk) 23:47, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- What type of citation would be valid to prove that George Antheil was not Polish? - A. Antheil McTighe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 23:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Isn't it true that Antheil and actress Hedy Lamarr patented frequency-hopping radio in 1942, the technology that makes cell phones possible? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
List of Works[edit]
The list of works for Antheil changes everytime I see it; would it be possible to put up a complete list and link it off? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulyssesm90 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Do Antheil's brief encounters with Stravinsky really warrant a prominent Stravinsky picture in this article? I would vote no. Ribbonabaca (talk) 20:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Months and months of congressional investigation have uncovered internal Obama administration and intelligence community communications that show the administration did believe al Qaeda-affiliated organizations were involved in the attack.
On page four of the pre-edited talking points for then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice prepared by the intelligence community, the Obama administration itself explicitly stated that al Qaeda connected terrorists were involved in the attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
"The crowd almost certainly was a mix of individuals from across many sectors of Libyan society," the second talking point on page four reads. "That being said, we do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qa'ida participated in the attack."

"We ordered our save the dates and received them in less than a week. Looked great. Everyone loved them. We will definitely order everything else from them."
"I am so beyond happy with my Save The Dates! They match our wedding theme along with being pretty in general. I love how I was able to upload any picture I wanted and to change the fonts! I wish I could have changed the actual "Save The Date" font because the S looks almost like a W, but that wasn't an option. But that's ok, the other components more than make up for it! The paper was good thick quality, I love them!"
"the quality of the magnet is great, the print is beautiful, the colors are so vivid, the picture could be better, but thats because my picture was taken with a celphone, so the quality is not the same than one taken with a professional camera. My only complain, is that the picture on the magnet could of be bigger, the picture looks a bit small for the size of the card. In general, is a beautifuly made card, great quality."
"I had a great experience ordering from Wedding Paper Divas. And the card is beautiful. However, you might want to keep in mind that the paper is more like a postcard sort of paper (that's probably the best way I can try to describe it - so the printing of your picture won't necessarily be the best of the best). I still love our save the dates though but I guess it helps to know what to expect."
"LOVE this Save the Date! I chose this card in black, and customized the wording to my preference. I got so many compliments on how beautiful they turned out. The quality of the card and photos was exactly what I wanted - very classy. I would definitely recommend this product!"

If you come into the first bolt from the right and clip it at your waist, this route feels more like an easy Eldo 10a or pumpy 5.9.
First bolt is a good candidate for stick clipping, and there is usually a large branch at the base for this purpose.

Introducing Veritas Enterprise Vault 12
An archiving foundation for your Information Governance plan
With more features than any prior release, Enterprise Vault 12 will excite both new and existing customers looking to better control and manage what information is retained, while more efficiently supervise and search the archive.
- Target what is most meaningful to your organization by classifying all archived content
- Re-classify existing archived information to help ensure your archived information matches your classification and retention policies
- Delete archived information, when expiry triggers, only if it meets your current retention policies
- Make supervisory review quicker, easier and more intelligent
Centralized retention management
Storing information relevant to your organization
Establish a fundamental foundation for information retention management with Veritas archiving solutions—Enterprise Vault and Enterprise Vault.cloud. Through highly customizable policies, scan applications and automatically migrate information to an archive to support legal, regulatory, or compliance requirements.
Classification with Enterprise Vault supports assigning unique retention to unstructured data—for example, Microsoft Office files—and in the case of Microsoft Exchange email, utilize optional data classification services to filter what is actually retained and tag archived email for faster search or supervisory review. Archiving also provides significant storage predictability by helping organizations reclaim primary storage and keep applications at predictable storage levels on-premises or by leveraging unlimited storage in a cloud archiving service.
- Flexible on-premises, cloud or hybrid deployment options
- Mailbox and journal archiving for Exchange, IBM Domino
- SMTP or IMAP archiving other email platforms
- Support for SharePoint archiving and file systems
- Partner ecosystem for other sources, such as social media
Proven archiving solutions
Powering SMB to Large Enterprise
The choice of more than 31,000 customers worldwide, Veritas archiving solutions are used by small to medium-sized businesses (SMB) and the largest enterprises, across key vertical and horizontal industries.
Whether you deploy on-premises with Enterprise Vault, in the cloud with Enterprise Vault.cloud or in a hybrid configuration, our technology is proven, enabling organizations to retain relevant, meaningful information.
Veritas is the only vendor to be recognized as a leader in the Gartner "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving," for 12 consecutive years.
Improve IT operations
Conquer PST files and complement backup
Regain control over PST files by storing them in a purpose-built archive. If you're on Office 365 or have imminent plans to migrate email to Exchange Online in the cloud, take advantage of free import of up to 2 gigabytes of legacy PST data per Enterprise Vault.cloud or Enterprise Vault Enhanced.cloud user purchased for the first year of your contracted term.
If you're keeping email on-premises, use advanced migration tools with Enterprise Vault to systematically locate and ingest PST files. Centralize pesky PST files in the archive—where they are searchable and discoverable—while still providing seamless access to your end users. Also, remove PST data from primary file system backups, protecting the valuable information within the Veritas archiving solution.
Archiving helps remove stale, not-recently-accessed data from primary applications, such as SharePoint. By doing so, you decrease the storage footprint of these applications, which helps improve both backup and recovery performance.
In addition, archiving enables you to utilize your backup solution for its original purpose—protecting your data.
Backups are for recovery, archiving is for discovery.

Customers may opt to administer their archive instances or rely on Veritas and authorized partners for managed services.
Simplify your search
Archived information: Ready when you need it
As an IT administrator, when you get a call to recover a lost email or file, what's the first thought that comes to mind? Is it "not another one" or something similar?
Archiving helps make your life easier by retaining your organization's unstructured data, such as emails and files, in a central repository. Archived emails and files are not only available to support eDiscovery requests or internal investigations, but are also seamlessly available to users.
With Veritas archiving solutions, empower users to access their archived information when and where needed via robust searching capabilities.
- Search across archives with Enterprise Vault Search (EVS)
- Optimize for all of your business devices
- Focus on critical IT tasks, rather than restoring deleted email or files
Discovery for the cloud archive
Support eDiscovery requests or investigations with Veritas Enterprise Vault Discovery.cloud.
Veritas Enterprise Vault Discovery.cloud supports cross-functional collaboration on legal matters and investigations for customers searching the Enterprise Vault.cloud archive. An optional subscription, Enterprise Vault Discovery.cloud enables users to build iterative searches, refining results to show relevant content.

- Allow reviewers to interact and collaborate on matters
- Enable self-service online exports of search results
- Search within search results with Enterprise Vault.cloud
Discovery for the on-premises archive

Scaling with your archive as you grow, Discovery Accelerator provides high-speed search and export of large data sets, helping answer virtually any request for content throughout its lifecycle.

Unstructured data compliance requirements
Both public and private organizations have growing obligations to one or more sets of data regulations.
General data retention regulations for public entities, and private industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, transportation, telecom, manufacturing and others, mandate the preservation of records for specified periods of time
Additional requirements for employee supervision are dictated by the U.S. FINRA, Dodd-Frank or European Union regulations for organizations that trade financial instruments or commodity contracts require supervision of employee activity and communications
Many organizations need help managing the cost and complexity of staying in compliance.
Customer Success: Antelope Valley Hospital
Improving eDiscovery and retention through cloud archiving
Based in Lancaster, Calif., Antelope Valley Hospital relies on Veritas Enterprise Vault to help improve eDiscovery processes and reduce storage costs for unstructured data, such as email. The hospital will also look to Enterprise Vault.cloud to help enforce information retention across the organization.
Data compliance and supervision solutions
Veritas Enterprise Vault and Enterprise Vault.cloud help organizations easily automate policy-based classification and retention management for a broad range of compliance regulations. Through journal archiving, Veritas archiving solutions create indexed, manageable records independent of the mail system. This enables you to implement a policy-based framework for retention and deletion, regardless of user behavior.
Veritas Enterprise Vault Compliance Accelerator automates role-based review of communications by appropriate supervisors, as required by industry regulations or internal mandates, while preserving a procedural audit trail.
Veritas AdvisorMail, an option for Enterprise Vault.cloud, provides email and instant messaging supervision ideal for highly-regulated organizations with WORM storage requirements.
Global data privacy rules are changing
Being prepared brings more benefits
Rules and regulations around how data is captured and used have increased dramatically. The European Union is overhauling its 1995 Data Protection Act with changes that could affect organizations in any global location. Taking proactive Information Governance steps now could improve your risk posture, lower your exposure to potential fines, and innovate your information management operations.
Archiving as a foundation for information governance
Leverage archiving to implement retention management as part of your Information Governance plans. Archiving helps you create automated policies to control retention and expiration, so information is retained for only its meaningful lifecycle, helping reduce business risk and exposure. Utilize classification where available to assign unique retention to information and store only what is required in the archive to help meet legal, regulatory, or compliance requirements.

text: Loved this hotel. The room was huge and had a great view of the water. The staff was really friendly and helped us book our trip into the Daintree. While it is about a 20 minute walk to the CBD, the walk is really easy and right along the water. Only issues were with the in-house restaurant--stay away from the nachos!!! Also, the pool was in the shade most of the afternoon so find another place to hang out if you are looking to get a tan. I would definitely stay there again!

Searching for homes
Starting your search
Your agent will be your biggest ally in your home hunt. He or she will give you multiple listing sheets (MLS) based on the price and desired amenties that you talked about. Real estate publications and classified ads both online and in print are a good source of properties that you or your agent may not have previously considered. Its also a good idea to take a drive through the neighborhoods and towns you are considering to get a feel for what specific areas you really like and to help narrow your search. Once youve found properties youre interested in, your agent can arrange viewings for you.
About MLS
MLS, or multiple listing service, is a private realtor-owned multiple listing service that provides services to the real estate community in Massachusetts think of it as a one-stop-shop for finding listings. MLS provides service to more than 29,000 real estate professionals in New England and has a comprehensive database consisting of tens of thousands of listings. Most real estate professionals use this service as it provides details of most homes currently on the market. However, much of the information listed in MLS can also be found on public websites, but you might have to hit multiple sites to see everything.
Other ways to search
The Internet has been a growing source of real estate listings and is a way to see a wide variety of homes on the market including listings that might not be included in the MLS. There is a lot of information to be had on these listings as well everything from square footage to multiple photos to virtual tours are there to entice buyers to take a closer look. The listings in the Sunday paper are also a good way to see whats on the market as are real estate for sale books and publications.
Adventure drives are another great way to see homes and neighborhoods. Seeing a home in person is always going to be better than in a photo. Something you might have taken a pass on just by looking at a photo might actually be right up your alley, or a potential dream home.

Very good
Swansea, United Kingdom
I Hope the title says it all. . . . . But anyway. . . . . Stayed there with my wife, two boys aged 21 & 17, the dog and the mother in law. Yes the mother in law! last week and I honestly have to say that it was one of the best holidays we have ever had.
The converted barn is very much smack in the middle of the countryside and surrounded by sheep.
Very large and cosy and extremely well presented. Outdoor Heated Swimming Pool, Hot Tub in Cabin overlooking the Mountains & Countryside, Games Room with Full Size Pool Table, TV Room, Air Hockey, Wood Burner, Childrens XBOX Room, BBQ, Patio Areas, Kitchen with all Mod-Cons, 4 Huge Double Bedrooms, Twin Bedrooms etc, etc, etc. . . . . . Despite being in the middle of nowhere, the surrounding towns and amenities are only a short drive away (or longer if you want to go further a field.
We only travelled on two separate days and visited, Port Meirion, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Caernafon, Dolgellau, Aberystwith, Aberdyfi, Barmouth and Borth (Borth is a dreadful place by the way)
That left five days of bliss in the barn.
There are two large guest books (one of which is completely full) and there is not one single negative review! We have obviously added to that list.
It is also so spacious that you can keep out each others way long before you feel the need arises to strangle someone.
Do yourselves a favour and book a week here.

"Magnificient. my 3rd time so it must be good"
Gemma and Simon were there to greet us when we arrived. They explained everything to us and said they would be on hand should we need anything.The views - stunning. Every room is furnished to such a high standard, so spacious and really well equipped. We have been there on both a summer and a winter vacation and have had an amazing time. The games room is great, we were never bored even when it rained for two days. It was great to have the pool in the summer. Sitting on the patio overlooking the hills was something else.
We all had a great time, including the dog. The thing i liked the least was having to leave. It has something to offer in every season. Have already booked my next break there.

Thanks for your lovely comments Annie. Looking forward to seeing you in a few months!
"Supreme, amazing, perfect and lots more!!"
I often don't review things; never seem to have the time. But my family and I have stayed a few times in this beautiful location; and always loved every minute.
You know when a place is relaxing and homely when it's pouring with rain while your on holiday and your still having a good time! The views are awesome, the new pool is great (even allows you to take in the view while lying back in the pool!), the fire place is great out of the summer and the overall cosy feeling makes my house feel in need of attention!
The best thing I can recommend is Christmas here. We spent Christmas here in 2010 (the year will had lots of snow!) and it was amazing. It was like an american film in Canada, so I took some beautiful photos to capture the memory's.

"A lovely place for a family holiday!"
Fourteen of us stayed for a family holiday here at Cae Madog in June this year. There was lots of room for everyone so as not to get under each others feet. The snug was great for the kids to go and watch a film or make use of the xbox. Plenty of space to spread out so it suited everyone in our party from age 4 to 64 and all those in between.
The house itself is very well equipped, everything you could need and more.
The pool was made good use of by all of us, even in the wet weather we were unfortunate to get on some days.
The separate pool room occupied the older kids when we were at the house, and proved an excellent storage space for beer.
The location was beautiful, what amazing views to wake up to. It is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. The beaches at aberdovey were superb but I'd avoid Borth.
The owners reside nearby and were very friendly and approachable.
I would recommend this property without hesitation.

"Wonderful stay in fabulous surroundings"
Property was fantastic and very clean and the owners friendly. Location was amazing - very secluded with some lovely walks nearby. We were really lucky witht he weather and spent most of our time round the pool.
Only thing stopping me giving a* rating was the fact that the X-box didn't work, the BBQ could do with replacing and they could do with some additional kitchen furniture (such as extra frying pans and larger kettle) in order to accomodate large parties.

"Brilliant luxury holiday cottage, Excellent family holiday."
Simon and Gemma are a very welcoming and friendly couple and made us feel at home in their beautiful barn. The accommodation is excellent with every possible convenience catered for, even the dog was made more than welcome. The barn can accommodate up to 16 very comfortably. Its a beautiful conversion and the heated swimming pool was a real hit. The barn is sat on the side of the Twymyn valley with stunning countryside all around. The barn feels a little remote but that is definitely one of the things that drew us to this location.we usually go self catering so have bought most things with us but when we needed to top up the local shop was just a few miles up the road. Its a beautiful area with so much to do and trips to the beach just a short car ride. We all had a fantastic holiday at Cae Madog barn and look forward to a return visit.

From the time of our booking Simon was at the end of the email to help and advise. The cottage is everything that one could ask for, warm comfortable, will appointed. Set in beautiful countryside yet not too far from amenities. Plenty of places to visit which occupy all ages. The children particularly enjoyed the heated pool in all weathers.

Thank you so much Val - it was a great pleasure to welcome you all at the barn. We'd love to see you again sometime.

"Fabulous place for a family or goup holiday"
We stayed at Cae Madog Barn with a group of 6 couples and 5 babies. The facilities great, everything we could have needed, and we even had great weather, so were able to use the pool a good bit.
As all new parents, the first time we were away with our babies, we all agreed that next time we would not have the kids in the same rooms as the parents, but the house is actually perfectly set up for children as well, with bunk beds. We are definitely going to return in the future, and have already recommended it several times to friends and family.
