"The days of complete visibility into big data are numbered. There is simply too much of it. While we may see companies promoting fancy strategies for managing "fire hose data", only the ones focused on analytics will get close to making meaning from the massive deluge. As a result, more companies will plug into new advancements in relational and non-relational programming frameworks that support the processing of large data sets. "

In his general session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee Atchison, Principal Cloud Architect and Advocate at New Relic, discussed cloud as a 'better data center' and how it adds new capacity (faster) and improves application availability (redundancy). The cloud is a 'Dynamic Tool for Dynamic Apps' and resource allocation is an integral part of your application architecture, so use only the resources you need and allocate /de-allocate resources on the fly.

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

There are several IoTs: the Industrial Internet, Consumer Wearables, Wearables and Healthcare, Supply Chains, and the movement toward Smart Grids, Cities, Regions, and Nations. There are competing communications standards every step of the way, a bewildering array of sensors and devices, and an entire world of competing data analytics platforms. To some this appears to be chaos. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, Bradley Holt, Developer Advocate a...

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

How much do you think Cate Blanchett's Oscar gown and jewels cost? A few thousand dollars? A few million? Not even close.
The Blue Jasmine actress donned a dress and jewels that came to a combined $NZ19.2 million to collect her Academy Award earlier this month.
Her embellished nude dress was from the Armani Prive Fall 2013 Collection and cost an estimated $106,000, according to Vogue. The jewellery - all of which was on loan - upped the dollar value in to the millions.
She wore dramatic earrings from Swiss-based luxury jewellers, Chopard, which had 62 opals set in white gold along with a brown diamond bracelet and a pear-shaped diamond ring, both from Chopard.
As much as we hate to admit it, in the aftermath of Oscars fever, we're more likely to remember who wore it best, or worst, on the red carpet, than who was honoured on the stage. That, and J-Law's award's night antics, of course.
A gown may be a hit or a miss, but you can be sure it cost a bucket load of cash, as designers and stylists try to out-do each other on the night (is there really an excuse for looking bad when you're talking in millions?).
Australian Vogue reported a full list of awards for most expensive outfit worn at the Oscars in 2014. Cate Blanchett, on top of taking out this year's gong for best actress, also took the title for most expensive outfit.
Charlize Theron also made the list, wearing $16.87 million, and Sandra Bullock came in third in her $42,600 Alexander McQueen gown and $8.7 million worth of jewellery. Fourth, surprisingly given her look was rather forgettable, was Margot Robbie at $8.5 million from top to toe.
Do the Oscars, like the burgeoning wedding industry, need H&M to provide a $99 alternative to bring them back down to earth?

Nice muscles... and yours aren't bad either, A-Rod! Baseball star and wrestler girlfriend get into swimsuits for day by the pool
He's put up his Miami mansion for rent and is looking at putting down roots in California.
But in the meantime baseball star Alex Rodriguez and girlfriend Torrie Wilson are making the most of the hot Florida sun.
Fun in the sun: Alex Rodriguez and his bikini-clad girlfriend Torrie Wilson were spotted relaxing in Miami on Friday
The athletic couple, both 37, were spotted lounging by the pool with friends while on holiday on Friday at a hotel in the state's southern-most city.
With her blonde hair worn loose around her shoulders, the former wrestler flaunted her ample assets and impressive physique in a sexy mismatched black and grey two-piece.
Torrie later sunned herself on a lounge chair as she chatted up a girlfriend sitting nearby.
Strong and sexy: Torrie is a former WWE wrestler
Bikini babe: The two-time Playboy cover girl looked tanned and toned in a mismatched two-piece
But her attention was always on her beau Alex, who kept up the laughs as the pair giggled away their afternoon.
The New York Yankees slugger looked as buff as ever in shorts and a tight fitting baby blue T-shirt.
He later stripped down to a pair of grey and black swimming trunks to perfectly match his lady love.
Hot item: The couple have been together since 2011
Smitten: Torrie and Alex were clearly enjoying the time off
Alex has been dating Playboy cover girl Torrie since the end of 2011 and things are clearly becoming serious.
Back in August he put his Miami home on the market for a staggering $38million after buying the palacial estate in 2010 while it was still under construction for a reported $24million.
Since then the home hasn't sat empty, having been rented by Simon Cowell while shooting scenes for a couple of episodes on the last season of The X-Factor.
Fitness fanatic: The Yankee's slugger couldn't hide his muscular figure under his blue shirt
Working holiday: A-Rod is back at work as the baseball season kicked up earlier this month
But having bought the home while dating Cameron Diaz, he's looking to leave the city and the couple have been looking at homes in Beverly Hills together.
Around Christmas time dynamic duo were reportedly perusing a sleek, modern $3.2million three-bedroom mansion.
A-Rod has two children, Natasha and Ella, with his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis.
Cozy: Torrie and her beau have been looking at moving in together in Beverly Hills
Much to share: The fitness model has hundreds of thousands of fans on her social media
The holiday comes amid news that Major League Baseball officials -- and reportedly by the Yankee himself -- paid off former employees of a Miami health clinic to destroy incriminating papers on A-Rod's records.
The Miami New Times said it obtained records detailing purchases by Rodriguez, 2012 All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon and 2011 AL championship series MVP Nelson Cruz.
Loves Miami: The highly paid athlete owns a home in the city, which he is currently renting
Its exposé claimed the baseball star received cocktails including Human Growth Hormones (HGH) and testosterone creams on a fairly regular basis, according to handwritten notes viewed by someone familiar with the clinic Biogenesis of America.
Allegations of using performance-enhancing drugs have long plagued the slugger and he has denied the recent claims.
The Yankees star had admitted in 2009 that he 'experimented with a banned substance' during the time period of 2001 to 2003, when he played for the Texas Rangers.

In less than a month voters in Iowa will cast their ballots, officially setting the 2016 presidential election in motion.The big question: Will Americans choose a leader who will truly be ready on Day One to face the enormous global challenges that lie ahead, particularly those in the Middle East? Above all, the next president of the United States must understand that the greatest challenge facing the Western alliance in the Middle East is not simply the threat of radical Islam, but that of apocalyptic Islam.Unfortunately, most candidates and voters are still not adequately familiar with such distinctions. But they need to be.

Silly and short. That's a good way to describe this one.
The "OST" for Abarenbou Princess, the "Sound Selection," was 71 minutes of pretty solid early-PS2 VGM. This album, in contrast, is a 25-minute arranged album, and the arrangements are generally only one step above what can be heard on the OST.
Yes, it seems the "Rouge Special Selection" isn't all that special. It's fun in that silly-song kind of way, and there are maybe two or three songs that demonstrate some musical merit. The rest, not so much.
The value of this album, and the Abarenbou Princess OST, plummeted in the last few years. People looking to buy a used copy of this album can probably find a good deal, and likely alongside its OST counterpart. It's a nice addition, but not at all necessary, even for fans of these quirky, obscure titles.

" Application April '23. 1947; Serial No. 744,406
' 4 Claims.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in mold carriers and more particularly to an attachment for mold carriers of machines used in the production of glass jars.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved attachment for the-carrier arm of glass'jar machines to conveniently suport the mold used with the machine in the production of glass jars. a
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a device including resiliently biased coupling means for attachment of the device to the bottom plug retainer of a mold.
A further purpose of the present invention is to provide a mold carrier attachment embodying means for quickly andreadily fastening the same to a carrier arm and mold or for removing the attachment from the said carrier arm and mold.
A still further aim of the present invention is to provide an attachment for mold carriers that is simple and practical in construction, strong and reliable in use, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purpose for which the same is intended. 1 f
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view showing the present invention applied to a carrier arm and supporting a mold;
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the present attachment for mold carriers; and,
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the locking pin used in conjunction with the present invention.
In the production and manufacture of glass jars many systems are known, of which, the most universal method used is the conveyor system wherein glass jar molds are employed. The conveyor system is controlled by a machine that includes carrier arms which are connected to molds. The machine is so constructed as to rapidly conduct the molds in horizontal movement and vertical movement as the material within the molds becomes hardened to form glass jars.
Frequenty during, the process of forming the glass jars it becomes necessary to remove the molds from the carrier arm during operation of the machine, for replacement, inspection or the like of the molds. The means now employed for connecting the molds to the carrier arms is inadequate for quick and ready removal of the molds from the carrier arms and also the means 1 2 l now employed frequently break during the rapid movement'of the machine causing the mold-andsupport to break under the stress, and damage the machine.
It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a device removably secured to the carrier arm and supporting the mold in such a manner as to eliminate the foregoing difiiculties in the production of glass'jars.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, where'- in for the purpose of, illustration, there is disclosed a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the numeral Iii represents the mold carrier attachment generally. This device comprises a cylindrical sleeve l2 the lower portion of which is externally screw-threaded, as at [4, and the inner periphery of which is also screw-threaded, as at I6.
The upper portion of sleeve 12 is provided with a transverse aperture I8 through which extends the shank portion 2|] of an angular locking pin 22. The shank portion is formed with an annular groove or recess 2-4 centrally disposed with the sleeve to frictionally engage a ball member 26.
- Adjustably mounted within the sleeve l2 and engaging threads I6 is a plug 28 provided with a kerf 30 at its lower portion for th reception of any suitable tool for adjusting the plug in the sleeve.
Resiliently biased between plug 28 and ball member 26 is a coil spring 32 normally projecting the ball to engage recess 24 in the shank 20 for retaining the locking pin in its locked position.
Integrally formed with sleeve I2 is a hexagonal nut or the like 34 furnishing a flanged portion that bears on the upper surface of the eye end of a carrier arm 36 when the sleeve 12 is inserted into this eye end of the carrier arm.
In practical use of the device, the threaded portion M of the sleeve is fitted into the eye end of the carrier arm and a bolt 38 is fitted upwardly into the sleeve and bears against a washer 46 at a ,the lower edge of the carrier arm, assuring positive attachment of the device to the carrier arm. The carrier arm is suitably secured to the mold carrier 42 of the machine (not shown) for movement of the carrier arm.
Bearing on the upper face of nut 34 is the lower edge of a bottom plug retainer 44 removably carried by a mold 46. The upper portion of the device I2 is inserted upwardly into the plug retainer.
The locking pin is then inserted through apertures 48 provided in the plug retainer opposing apertures l8 so that the end of shank 20 projects outwardly from the plug retainer and ball 36 en,-
gages the recess 24 for holding the pin 22 within the sleeve l2 and plug retainer 44.
By an outward pulling pressure on the locking pin the mold 46 and plug retainer 44 may be completely removed from the device facilitating convenient inspection of replacement of the mold.
Obviously plug 28 may be adjusted to increase or decrease tension of the spring 32 to prevent dislodgement of the pin 22 during rapid operation of the machine.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjuction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the device" will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and the scope of the appended claims.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

Naqvi hints at early LS polls
Rampur: Hinting at early Lok Sabha elections, BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday said the main contest in the battle would be between the BJP-led NDA and the Congress-led UPA.
The country could be headed for early Parliamentary polls in the wake of "political uncertainty and misgovernance of the UPA-II", he told reporters here.
"Lok Sabha polls may be held along with the upcoming Assembly elections in several states," Naqvi said.
He said the main contest in the Lok Sabha elections would be between the NDA and the UPA.
"There is only a remote possibility of the emergence of any other front," the BJP leader said.
In reply to a question on whether President Pratibha Patil should be given another term, Naqvi said the BJP was opposed to the idea.
"The country`s highest constitutional post should not be treated at par with village heads who are elected twice, thrice or even more," he said.

Obama in Cambodia after rousing Myanmar welcome
Phnom Penh: Making history twice within hours, President Barack Obama Monday became the first US president to set foot in Cambodia, a country once known for its Khmer Rouge "killing fields."
He left behind flag-waving crowds on the streets of Myanmar, the once internationally shunned nation now showing democratic promise.
Unlike the visit to Myanmar, where Obama seemed to revel in that nation`s new hope, the White House made clear that Obama is only in Cambodia to attend an East Asia Summit and said the visit should not be seen as an endorsement of Prime Minister Hun Sen and his government.
Indeed, Obama`s arrival in Cambodia lacked the euphoria of his greeting in Myanmar, where tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Yangon to cheer the first American president to visit a country that until recently had long been isolated from the West. "You gave us hope," Obama declared in Yangon.
In Phnom Penh, small clusters of Cambodians gathered in the streets to watch the motorcade pass by, without any of the outpouring that greeted Obama in Myanmar.
From the airport, Obama headed straight to the Peace Palace for a meeting with Hun Sen that later was described by US officials as a tense encounter dominated by the president voicing concerns about Cambodia`s human rights record.
He specifically raised the lack of free and fair elections, the detention of political prisoners and land seizures, officials said.
Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said Obama told the prime minister that those issues are "an impediment" to a deeper relationship between the US and Cambodia.
Rhodes said Hun Sen defended his country`s record, saying unique circumstances motivate its policies and practices. Still, the prime minister expressed a desire to deepen ties with the US, Rhodes said.
Earlier in Myanmar, Obama addressed a national audience from the University of Yangon, offering a "hand of friendship" and a lasting US commitment, yet a warning, too. He said the new civilian government must nurture democracy or watch it, and US support, disappear.

Americans often view saving for retirement as a choice between contributing to a workplace 401(k) plan or funding an IRA, even though the majority of people are allowed to contribute to both at the same time.
A new report by Fidelity Investments indicates that as companies cut down on pension plans, more workers are contributing to both Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and 401(k) plans. Those who contribute to both end up saving much more overall, the study showed. In addition, workers are more likely to save for retirement if they seek financial advice.
On average, Americans have saved either $5,750 annually in a workplace 401(k) account, or $4,150 in an IRA account, far below the maximum limits allowed, according to Fidelity's research. Workers under age 50 could contribute up to $16,500 to a 401(k) plan in 2011. The maximum IRA contribution for the same age group in the 2011 tax year is $5,000.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
Employees who only have 401(k) accounts have saved an average total of $69,100. But people with combined accounts stashed away an average of $212,600 for retirement, according to Fidelity's study.
Saving for retirement in a tough economy isn't always a priority, though. While most U.S. households are eligible to make contributions to IRAs, only 14 percent of them did so in 2010, according to data from the Investment Company Institute. And 401(k)savings plans aren't available at every employer. In 2012, only 74 percent of employed workers were offered any kind of retirement plan at work, down from 77 percent in 2007, according to the 2012 Retirement Confidence Survey, published by Employee Benefits Research Institute this week.
In addition, workers are taking a more active role in their savings, and many are looking to financial professionals for advice.
Between 2008 and 2011, there was a sharp jump in the number of Americans seeking guidance with their retirement saving plans, Fidelity said. One-on-one retirement planning sessions grew 48 percent in the three-year period. Attendance Fidelity's retirement seminars has increased 68 percent, the Boston-based company said.
"More investors are seeking guidance, and that is positively impacting the overall savings rate," said Beth McHugh, vice president of market insight for Fidelity.
The largest provider of IRA accounts in the United States, Fidelity had $725 billion in IRA assets under administration in the second quarter of 2011.

FIFO worker struck by lightning in the PilbaraTuesday October 30, 2012 - 19:11 EDT
A fly-in fly-out worker remains in hospital after being struck by lightning, south-east of Port Hedland in Western Australia.
McConnell Dowell says two of its employees were injured as a result of a lightning strike during construction work on Fortescue Metals Group's Solomon rail line on Sunday.
One man was struck directly while the other was knocked to the ground by the force of the lightning.
The men were taken to Hedland Health Campus for treatment.
A 24-year-old man from Queensland suffered burns to five percent of his body.
He is said to be well and in a stable condition.
The other man has since been discharged after being treated for a minor neck injury.
McConnell Dowell says the workers were preparing to leave the area when the incident happened.
An investigation into the incident is underway.

Rescuers locate 2 Mount Rainier snowboarders
SEATTLE Searchers on Tuesday reached a pair of snowboarders who had been stranded on Mount Rainier for two nights in fresh snow that was chest-deep in places and so soft that rescuers had to swim through it, national park officials said.
Derek Tyndall and Thomas Dale didnt appear to have frostbite or other injuries when rescuers reached them around 11 a.m., spokeswoman Lee Snook said.
The two had been stuck on the 14,410-foot mountain since Sunday after getting lost in whiteout conditions and digging a snow cave for protection.
Rescuers first spotted the men Monday but couldnt immediately hike to them because of darkness and avalanche danger.
After reaching the pair Tuesday morning, rescuers gave Tyndall, 21, and Dale, 20, warm liquids and were assessing them to determine if they could walk back down the mountain on their own. The hike was just a few miles, but conditions were treacherous with snow up to 4 feet deep.
It took searchers about two hours to reach the men from the Paradise ranger station, but Snook was certain they would make it back out before dark.
Tyndall is from Sumner, Wash., and Dale is from Indiana, Snook said. She couldnt confirm media reports that Dales hometown is Fort Wayne, Ind., and she didnt know how the two knew each other.
Tyndall and Dale were snowboarding Sunday near Camp Muir, a climbers layover at about the 10,000-foot level of Mount Rainier. They became lost in a snowstorm with high winds that created whiteout conditions, Snook said.
They used a cellphone to call 911 and said they were digging a snow cave for protection.
The two werent equipped to stay overnight. But they used the cellphone to check in again Monday morning before its battery died, saying they were cold but OK.
Rescuers spotted the pair Monday at about the 7,000-foot level below McClure Rock on the lower Paradise glacier. They were about a half-mile from the two close enough to wave but were forced back by nightfall and dangerous conditions.
Thirty rescuers working in five-member teams went out Tuesday through snow 2- to 4-feet deep, Snook said. It was so soft members had to take turns swimming through the snow to break a trail.
They were only a few miles from the Paradise ranger station, which is at the 5,400-foot level, but its not a straight shot, Snook said.
The weather was better than expected Tuesday with patches of clear sky.
The heavy snow is not unusual for the park.
This is what happens on Mount Rainier, Snook said. This is why people use Mount Rainier to train for Mount Everest.MORE IN Wire NewsLONDON The polls closed Thursday in Britains historic referendum with a leading supporter of...

We had a nice time in this flat.
The flat is well situated next to the train station.
We had no problems with checking in or out. If there were general questions, you can contact Christina easily by phone or web.
We stayed over for 2 nights and it was great. Nice room, nice bathroom. Cristina was very welcoming and we were only 10/15mn away from Roma historical center by train and very close to the old Trastevere. We had good time there. Cristina's place recommended.
The appartement is near the tram and bus station. The centre is about fifteen minutes by tram. In Travestere are many bars and romanitc typical Italian streets. The rooms are clean and you get clean towels every two days. We loved Rome and had a great time!
Nice, clean room only a short walking distance from the very central parts of Rome. Christina, the host, is very freindly and welcoming!
We had a very nice stay in Cristina's bed and breakfast, a very nice and clean room, with the household made almost every day. There is also a very useful kitchen, and the breakfast is included in a café very close from the apartment ! The historic center is 30 min walk from the bedroom, or 15 min by the tramway 8. We would recommend staying here !
We had a wonderful stay at Cristina's. The room with private bathroom was close to city centre as it took only a 2 minutes walk to get to the tram 8 which goes directly to the city centre. The neighbourhood is more peaceful than Rome centre and we slept very well.
It was nice that breakfast at the local bar was included. The room was very clean. We would recommend staying here.
Ottimo appartamento! Pulito, nuovo, dotato di ogni servizio: wifi, condizionatore, tv in camera, cucina fornita di ogni confort! Abbiamo beccato una giornata di pioggia, temporale pazzesco e l'appartamento si e'perfettamente prestato per goderci comunque la giornata a casa!
Grande il bagno in camera :)
Soweit alles ganz gut, allerdings gab es nicht ausreichend warmes Wasser für zwei Personen.
Abbiamo soggiornato presso la struttura per due notti. La camera un po piccina ma pulita e confortevole con bagno in camera, aria condizionata e tv. A disposizione una luminosa cucina. La struttura si trova in contesto molto tranquillo e ben servito dai trasporti pubblici e comunque non lontanissimo dal centro raggiungibile con una bella passeggiata sul lungotevere. Consigliato!
Calidad precio, genial. La propietaria de 10, trato inmejorable y muy amable, en lo que necesites te ayuda.
Recomendado para gente joven que vaya de viaje de amigos. Las habitaciones están muy juntas, por lo que no hay mucha intimidad.
Buena combinación para ir al centro (tranvia) o a las afueras (tren). Conexión directa con el aeropuerto.
Desayuno incluido en un bar cercano, de los mejores capuchinos que puedes encontrar.

Mother releases harrowing picture of her son hours before he died from legal high launches campaign to ban the drugs under trading laws
- Jimmy Guichard, 20, died in hospital within hours of taking a legal high
- His mother Karen Audino is now behind campaign to get sellers closed down
- She said: 'My son's life slipped away - I don't want other mothers to go though the same'
- She wants authorities to force shops to list ingredients in substances
- Ms Audino released picture of son in hospital to show damage the drugs do
- Local council is now using existing customer laws to check up on shops
A mum who released a harrowing picture of her son as he lay dying from a legal high is spearheading a campaign get the shops which sell them closed down.
Jimmy Guichard, 20, suffered a heart attack and severe brain damage within hours of taking one of the herbal rushes.
His mother Karen Audino made the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life-support machine after he was found unconscious next to an empty plastic bag from controversial shop UK Skunkworks.
As part of her campaign to shut down shops like UK Skunkworks, she then released a photo of her son's last moments in hospital to show the damage the drugs can do.
The mother-of-three now wants authorities to enforce trading laws which force shops to know the ingredients of the drugs and the dangers they pose.
The mother of Jimmy Guichard released his heartbreaking picture of her son last October. She hopes it will highlight the damage that so-called legal highs can do to those who take them
Karen Audino, pictured with Jimmy and daughter, Sam, is now heading a campaign to get authorities to enforce trading laws which could crack down on sale of the dangerous drugs
It would be the first time in the UK that current customer laws have been tested and could force sellers to clearly display all ingredients on packets or face closure and possible prosecution.
Ms Audino, 42, said: 'Anything that protects people and stops families like mine from being torn apart by these so-called legal highs is a good thing.
'I don't believe any of these products are safe and now that Medway Council is telling these shops that they must operate within the law I hope it will go some way to forcing their closure.
'My son's life just slipped away and that is something I want no other mother to have to go through.
'It's terrible that people can just go into a shop and buy these products as easily as sweets or a newspaper.
'I hope the action taken today will help put an end to these awful products. They destroy lives and destroy families.'
Jimmy Guichard, pictured with his niece Zoe, six, was found unconscious next to an empty plastic bag from controversial legal high shop UK Skunkworks
Keen sportsman Jimmy, who had applied to join the army, had recently moved from Ireland to Gravesend, Kent to care for his cancer-stricken father Martin.
He bought the legal high from UK Skunkworks shop in Chatham, Kent, on October 2 last year and was found collapsed on his bed at home in nearby Gravesend just hours later.
He regained consciousness after a heart attack but his brain swelled causing bleeding and severe brain damage.
His mother, a fast food restaurant manager, dashed from Ireland to be at his hospital bedside and he was pronounced dead on October 3.
Legal highs bypass drug laws by being sold as 'not for human consumption' and are often advertised as plant food or research chemicals.
They are designed to flout drug rules by possessing chemical compositions that differ from those already prohibited.
Jimmy's mother wants trading standards to close down shops which sell the drugs under existing laws
But now trading standards officers have said the products could be restricted by the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
The legislation prohibits any unsafe product from being supplied to members of the public.
It means to comply with consumer law traders must know precisely what is in each of the products they sell and what risks are associated with the ingredients.
Ms Audino's campaign has already had an effect, with Medway Council in Kent sending letters to the 14 legal high shops in Kent setting out checks distributors should complete before selling legal highs.
On Sunday three legal high shops in the area were raided and samples were seized.
Trading standards officers hope to discover whether the shops are following the new guidance.
If they are not, the council could seek court action to see the items withdrawn from sale and ultimately force the shop's closure.
Trading standards officer Ian Gilmore said: 'We want the shops to know that we are prepared to take robust enforcement action to ensure they are operating within the law. These are not legal highs, they are lethal highs.'

Australians Losing Money To Scams On The Rise: How To Protect Yourself
Every year the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) compile a report on how many Australians are getting conned by scammers, what scams are working on us and how much money we're losing.
This year's findings show that $85 million was reported lost to the ACCC's Scamwatch last year, with 105,200 scam complaints. That's a $3 million increase in money lost, and a 15 per cent rise in complaints — with the top culprits being investment and online dating scams.

Well, "university" is a stretch: The unaccredited program offered courses and seminars on how to do real estate deals in true Trump fashion.
