From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3—Little Hedgehog is back in this adorable picture book. He's excited about the weather as he finally gets to try out his new raincoat, boots, and umbrella. As he goes out for a walk, he encounters other animals and even has a few narrow escapes from the now-heavier rain, wind, and rising waters. The pictures are done in vivid pastels and are the stars of the show. Hedgehog's umbrella and rain gear have an enticing gloss that begs to be touched. While the story line seems to wander a little, the premise is simple and comforting, ending with hot cocoa and cookies at Badger's home. Despite the animals' ordeals, this book has a cozy, snuggly tone, and parents will take pleasure in sharing it while their youngsters nestle in. A great rainy-day read.—Adrienne Wilson, Edith Wheeler Memorial Library, Monroe, CT

Video: Police deploy TASER on LSD-tripping tourist
Suspect had "an adverse reaction" to LSD he took during a St. Patrick's Day celebration
By PoliceOne Staff
Video has been released in the death of a Brazilian tourist visiting Australia who was TASERed while on LSD.
Footage played in court on Monday shows Australian officers deploy a TASER on Roberto Laudisio Curti, 21, who police pursued on foot when he allegedly stole food from a convenience store in March, court statements indicated.
During the incident, Curti had "an adverse reaction" to LSD he took during a St. Patrick's Day celebration, according to Sky News.
In the video, four officers deploy their TASERs to take down Curti, who is heard being told to stop resisting arrest. Moments later, Curti stopped breathing and was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation will determine the cause of death and if officers followed use-of-force policy.

Retroactively reducing noise
Retroactively reducing noise
I have saved the results of the previous exercise as High frequency sharpening.psd and we are way the heck zoomed in on this window inside the image so that we can see the frightful amount of luminance noise that we have brought out as well as the fair amount of color noise going on and we need to defeat both the luminance noise and the color noise using the Reduce Noise Filter and here is how we are going to do that. First of all I want you to turn off Smart Sharpen, so that we are seeing the original color noise. So we will address the color noise first then we will swap the order of the Filters and then we will address the luminance noise after we can see it enhanced by Smart Sharpen and I think this will make sense to you as we work our way through.
So go up here to the Filter menu, choose Noise and then choose Reduce Noise, if you loaded D keys you have a keyboard shortcut of Shift+F9 and I have gone ahead and created some settings actually. If you go to Color noise slider and reaso...

Red Shirt Gordon was a criminal who escaped from Folsom Prison in California as leader of the "Big Break" in 1903. Gordon and twelve other prisoners overpowered guards, took hostages, and escaped from the prison, which at the time had no walls. Six fugitives were captured (one in 1910), and one was killed. Two of the men were executed and three received life sentences. Five escapees, including Gordon, were never recaptured.

Lamar Odom wary of Khloe Kardashian in Boston
There are plenty of negative memories to choose from, but Lamar Odom has a unique one from the 2008 NBA Finals.
Odom remembers his kids being treated quite badly by Celtics fans.
"They gave it to my kids last time in Boston," Odom said, refraining from repeating what was said to his children.
Odom said that has him wondering whether it'll be safe for his wife, reality-show personality Khloe Kardashian, to attend Games 3, 4 and perhaps 5 of the 2010 NBA Finals in Boston.
"I don't know how my wife is going to be able to sit in the crowd," Odom said, later adding that security might be needed.
Odom tried to brush the problem off, however. That's in keeping with the theme of my column about the Lakers trying to maintain focus on winning the NBA championship amid their obvious motivation to beat Boston for revenge.
"It'll be fun, though," Odom said. "I respect the (Boston) crowd and the knowledge they have of the game."

Tefal Actifry Mini launched for smaller kitchens, 21 per cent more compact, 25 per cent faster
Tefal has announced a new version of its popular Actifry kitchen appliance that's more suited to smaller portions and offers a smaller footprint. The Tefal Actifry Mini is ideal for people with less space in their kitchens, either because the room is smaller or they've already filled most worktops with numerous gadgets and gizmos.
The Tefal Actifry range is a low fat fryer, only needing a spoonful of oil to make enough chips for two. That ensures the additional fat content is 3 per cent - considerably lower than a traditional deep fat fryer.
The Actifry Mini is 21 per cent more compact than the Actifry 1kg. It measures 270 x 390mm, but still offers capacity for up to 600g. Tefal also claims that, because it features improved airflow aerodynamics, it is 25 per cent faster than other models, taking 20 minutes to work its food frying magic.
READ: Tefal Actifry electric fryer review
As well as chips, the Actifry range can also be used to cook curries, stir-fries, chicken, sausages and more. They don't require pre-heating, shaking, stirring or mixing.
The Actifry Mini also comes with a dedicated recipe book with suggestions for meals. It is available from John Lewis now for £169.95, both in store and online. You can find out more at www.tefalactifry.co.uk.

Napoli tops Angels' bargains
Fangraphs has added positional player values to its site, so we can see which players offered the most production per dollar spent in 2008. The most valuable player in baseball? No shock there, as Albert Pujols was worth about $40 million (and paid just $14 million).
Let's look at the Angels values and salaries last year. The best bargain on the team? It may surprise you -- or, it may have if I hadn't given it away in the headline. All figures are in millions, and if you want to know how these values are determined, I'll post the methodology in the first comment to this post.
|Torii Hunter
|Vladimir Guerrero
|Garret Anderson
|Mark Teixeira
|Gary Matthews, Jr.
|Chone Figgins
|Juan Rivera
|Casey Kotchman
|Maicer Izturis
|Erick Aybar
|Mike Napoli
|Howie Kendrick
- Would you believe that, of all the Angels returning in 2009, Mike Napoli --in just a couple hundred at bats -- was the team's most valuable position player, and its best bargain, in 2008? Fangraphs doesn't measure catcher defense, so if you think he's a bad one feel free to dock him a few ticks. But that .374 OBP and .578 slugging percentage blow my mind every time I look at his page.
- Figgins' value suggests I might want to reconsider what I wrote earlier this week about him. There are a few caveats to his estimated value, though. One is that his value is entirely in the strong defensive year the Fangraphs stats gave him at third base. Given that the same system rated him poor at third the previous two years, I'd like to see another strong season before I fully believe the defensive stats. And as a left fielder, his value would have been much less. Regardless, Figgins was a bargain in 2008 despite his awful hitting.
- Those Teixeira and Kotchman numbers are for the full season. While he was an Angel -- a third of the season -- Teixeira was worth $15.2 million. Kotchman's time with the team was worth $5.2 million, but he went backward in Atlanta.
- Erick Aybar's defense is seriously valuable.
- Fangraphs' metrics, on the other hand, don't believe Hunter is a very good defensive center fielder. But maybe he is. Baseball Prospectus loves his defense; John Dewan's plus/minus system doesn't. If we just consider him average and adjust his value accordingly, he'd be worth just about his salary.
- In his five years as an Angel, Guerrero has been worth $75 million, and paid $67 million. Bill James' projection system has him having a big bounce back year, which would make him worth about $18 million or so. Not all forecasts are so rosy, of course.
Do any of these values seems outlandish to you guys?

Environmental Enrichment Synergistically Improves Functional Recovery by Transplanted Adipose Stem Cells in Chronic Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury
Abstract:We investigated the effects of environmental enrichment (EE) on the function of transplanted adipose stem cells (ASCs) and the combined effect of EE and ASC transplantation on neurobehavioral function in an animal model of chronic hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury. HI brain damage was induced in 7-day-old mice by unilateral carotid artery ligation and exposure to hypoxia (8% O2 for 90 min). At 6 weeks of age, the mice were randomly injected with either ASCs or PBS into the striatum and were randomly assigned to either EE or standard cages (SC), comprising ASC-EE (n=18), ASC-SC (n=19), PBS-EE (n=12), PBS-SC (n=17), and untreated controls (n=23). Rotarod, forelimb-use asymmetry, and grip strength tests were performed to evaluate neurobehavioral function. The fate of transplanted cells and the levels of endogenous neurogenesis, astrocyte activation, and paracrine factors were also measured. As a result, EE and ASC transplantation synergistically improved rotarod latency, forelimb-use asymmetry, and grip strength compared to those of the other groups. The number of engrafted ASCs and βIII-tubulin+ neurons derived from the transplanted ASCs was significantly higher in mice in EE than those in SC. EE and ASC transplantation also synergistically increased BrdU+βIII-tubulin+ neurons, GFAP+ astrocytic density, and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) level but not the level of CS-56+ glial scarring in the striatum. In conclusion, EE and ASC transplantation synergistically improved neurobehavioral functions. The underlying mechanisms of this synergism included enhanced repair processes such as higher engraftment of the transplanted ASCs, increased endogenous neurogenesis and astrocytic activation coupled with upregulation of FGF2.

More about this publication?
- Cell Transplantation publishes original, peer-reviewed research and review articles on the subject of cell transplantation and its application to human diseases. To ensure high-quality contributions from all areas of transplantation, separate section editors and editorial boards have been established. Articles deal with a wide range of topics including physiological, medical, preclinical, tissue engineering, and device-oriented aspects of transplantation of nervous system, endocrine, growth factor-secreting, bone marrow, epithelial, endothelial, and genetically engineered cells, among others. Basic clinical studies and immunological research papers are also featured. To provide complete coverage of this revolutionary field, Cell Transplantation will report on relevant technological advances, and ethical and regulatory considerations of cell transplants. Cell Transplantation is now an Open Access journal starting with volume 18 in 2009, and therefore there will be an inexpensive publication charge, which is dependent on the number of pages, in addition to the charge for color figures. This will allow work to be disseminated to a wider audience and also entitle the corresponding author to a free PDF, as well as prepublication of an unedited version of the manuscript.

According to the CPI, we've experienced low and stable inflation over the last few decades. But, one only needs to look up the prices of cars, jeans, college tuition, health care, rent, and many other day to day items to realize that the average American's expenditures have grown at a much higher rate than the reported inflation number (see shadowstats.com for an eye-opening education on "changes" (perhaps, manipulation) of this calculation). At the same time, the average American's pre-tax income has remained stagnant for the last decade. Rising prices versus stagnant incomes is, by our definition, inflation because the purchasing power of the average American has decreased over the last decade. While our definition may be relative, the result has the same deleterious impact on those it affects as does the tunnel vision definition of inflation. –"Waiting for Inflation? It's Already Here," Robert Barone, Minyanville

The doll hospital is just like a real hospital. There are doctors. Nurses. Orderlies. You bring the doll in and they wheel the doll away in a little doll wheelchair. Or, if the injury is bad enough, on a doll gurney. There's even a helipad on the roof, for when a doll needs to be MedEvac'd after flipping her pink Corvette on the Pacific Coast Highway. My wife tells me that most of the operations at the American Girl hospital are done free-of-charge. I don't buy it. That doesn't sound like American Girl to me. That sounds like Canadian Girl. Or French Girl. An American Girl hospital would charge you $8,000 for a needle and thread. Oh, you want them to thread the needle? That'll be another $14,000. Up front. In cash. –"Dad's an Ass: An American Girl Story," Warren Benedetto, DadWagon

The gap between political realities and their public face is so great that the term "paradox" tends to crop up from sentence to sentence….Debt, intemperance, and incompetence in rearing our children are no doubt regrettable, but they are vices, and left alone, they will soon lead to the pain that corrects. Life is a better teacher of virtue than politicians, and most sensible governments in the past left moral faults to the churches. But democratic citizenship in the twenty-first century means receiving a stream of improving "messages" from politicians. Some may forgive these intrusions because they are so well intentioned. Who would defend prejudice, debt, or excessive drinking? The point, however, is that our rulers have no business telling us how to live. –"Morals and the Servile Mind," Kenneth Minogue, The New Criterion
More from TedRoss:
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

"Good suspense"
Lisa Scottoline knows how to make you care about what happens to her main character. It's a good book for listening. I listen on my car ride to work and it made the time pass quickly. The narrator was great.
ADD Diva
"Not her best Rosatto boork.."
I usually love Lisa Scottoline's books, especially those with Bennie Rosatto's law firm.. However, this book failed to entice me..It was choppy in places, and it really didn't meet her normal standard. It was also very short in length in comparison to her other books. I have been a fan of hers since I found audiobooks and with her print books before finding the joy of audiobooks. I hope her next publication in April turns out to be a much better listen. I would not say don't buy this book, just be ready for it not to be the best Scottoline book you ever listened to or read. It just lacks something..
The story line is a poorly done Stephanie Plum novel with barely likeable characters. Zany antics become shrill, supposedly smart women act too stupid to live, and by the end I was grateful it was over.
A reader from day 1 now a listener too! Remember honesty in a review does help you decide, even if you don't agree!
"good not great....."
Having never read the author, and purchased after listening to the free excerpt, it was what was promised, a serviceable, interesting listen...not great, but good enough (especially after my last two clunkers!)to keep me interested and the annoyance level was minimal....I found the narration fine, the story had enough twists and turns to keep me going and it entertained! I might even listen to it again sometime...

Adenhart case will stay in O.C.
The driver charged with killing Angels' pitcher Nick Adenhart will stand trial in Orange County, Larry Welborn reports:
"Gallo's lawyer, Jacqueline Rubio had argued that Gallo could not get a fair trial in Orange County because of the enormous support for Angels baseball, the hero status of Adenhart, and the affection for the other victims of the April 9, 2009, crash at a Fullerton intersection.
"But Deputy District Attorney Susan Price opposed the move for change of venue, saying that this case did not generate a larger outpouring of grief than other vehicular manslaughter deaths and that the size of the jury pool in Orange County supports the feasibility of Gallo getting a fair trial here."
Well, this -- "did not generate a larger outpouring of grief than other vehicular manslaughter deaths" -- seems patently ridiculous. The second part doesn't.

After the tragic loss of their bassist Mason Mauldin, who died in a plane crash Jan. 24, Collin vs. Adam made the no doubt difficult decision to soldier on.
They play Round 5, closing out the semifinals.
Earlier we described their track "Aurelia" as a haunting piece of instrumental synth pop, with a pinging drum machine, delicate guitar lines and lush synthesizer, slowly unfolding over the course of the song.

Czech brooch - faux turquoise & painted decoration on brass. Similar to Max Neiger but not convinced that it is his. #CzechBrooch #CzechFauxTurquiseBrooch
Probably Max Neiger brooch. Although this has not been verified, there are enough Neiger components for me to think that it is. Notice the figure - exactly the same as one of my larger brooches. Interesting snake over the head. Don't think I have this on anything else. This brooch is only just over 2 inches. Photographed by Gillian Horsup.

Bobby V Makes Managerial Return, Sort Of, In New CBSSports.com Fantasy Baseball Ad
Published March 11, 2013
HAVING SOME FUN: CBS Sports Network's Allie LaForce said, "CBS was smart enough to do this genius commercial playing on the fact that he can't keep a job." CBSSports.com's Bruce Feldman said, "This is a great idea. Have fun with your persona. I think it makes it harder for people to take shots at you if you take the front end of it." LaForce added, "Anytime you see an athlete, a manager, head coach or public figure, make fun of themselves you have more respect for them and you like them that much more" ("Lead Off," CBS Sports Network, 3/8). NESN.com's Jen Slothower wrote Valentine "gets points for being able to poke fun at himself." Part of the "gag is that people watching can apparently go online and vote whether Bobby should be hired or fired again -- presumably from his job of being a pitch man this time" (NESN.com, 3/8). Blogger Steve DelVecchio wrote, "Talk about having no shame in your game. Valentine may say stupid things that inhibit his ability to land new jobs, but he still has his marketability" (LARRYBROWNSPORTS.com, 3/8).

Title: Need suggestions for a replacement tree for Hackberry tree in Austin, TX in Austin TX.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:We have a large hackberry tree in our front yard. We are cutting it down this fall. I would like to replace it with a tree native to this area..preferably something fast growing. What are your recommendations?
Mr. Smarty Plants often gets questions about tree selection, so I am going to refer you to a previous answer to a similar question. It will introduce you to our Recommended Species Page and the Texas Tree Selector which are great tools for picking out trees. The Tree Planting & Care section of the Tree Selector has information to help you buy, plant, and care for your new tree.

Akhilesh to skip UP's IT road show in BangaloreSwati Mathur | TNN | Dec 3, 2013, 04.34 AM IST
LUCKNOW: After skipping the flagship two-day IT Conclave in Lucknow, chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has now also pulled out of the second big ticket IT event - the Bangalore road show on December 6 - to promote UP as a sought-after destination for IT investments. In his place, minister for science and technology, Abhishek Mishra, will participate in the event. The chief minister had already confirmed his presence at both the events in early November. Though the first one had to be cancelled because of a campaign rally in poll-bound Rajasthan, the reasons for him not attending the Bangalore show are not known.
The day-long event in IT-hub Bangalore, for which the UP government has partnered with industry body Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), will give UP an opportunity to showcase its potential to emerge as a preferred destination for setting up IT and IT-enabled services sector industries. It will also serve as a platform for promoting the state's IT Policy. Special secretary, IT and electronics, GS Naveen Kumar said the state government would also project UP as a congenial, industry-friendly and proactive environment for setting up industry.
Industrial and infrastructure development commissioner Alok Ranjan and principal secretary IT and electronics, Jiwesh Nadan, apart from GS Naveen Kumar will represent UP at the road show. Among other things, the state also plans to showcase the easy availability of technical and manpower centres of excellence in UP an ideal situation for IT companies to set up shop in the state. According to the IT department data, UP has a large base of skilled manpower that graduates from nearly 700 professional institutions spread across the length and breadth of the state. More than half of these institutes impart engineering and management courses both at the graduate and postgraduate level, making UP an ideal destination for knowledge-based sectors to establish businesses.
The interactive session - Destination IT: Uttar Pradesh, the next big Investment Opportunity - also hopes to capitalise on the steady growth that the information technology sector has seen in India in the past decade. With India's growth figures being acknowledged globally -- the country now accounts for 65% of the global market in IT off shoring and 46% of the ITeS market - UP also hopes to re-establish its position as a leading exporter of software solutions.
Already, data sourced from the Union ministry of Communication and Information Technology, suggests Uttar Pradesh has silently moved ahead on the digital revolution front. In fact, currently, UP not only ranks among the top five Indian states for clocking the highest number of e-transactions through 2013 after Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, but it has also been a front runner in delivering public services using information and communication technology (ICT) tools to improve access, enhance transparency and reduce response time.
The growth of private enterprise, or e-commerce, in Uttar Pradesh - selling everything from sports goods and handicrafts to jewellery - as the government plans to show, is not new. Government, as a service provider, is also catching up, infusing technology into providing essential services like healthcare, streamlining land records, birth, death and income certificates and as well as backend technological support for BPOs. Already, e-transactions, where ICT tools are used to provide services digitally, including through mobile devices, where data is digitized, and approval process is electronic, are being made available to UP's public under 19 heads, primarily in streamlining the public distribution system, utility and bill payment services (e-suvidha) and patient registration in healthcare category, among others.

The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes finalist Colin Fletcher has been released by the UFC.
Fletcher announced the news Monday via Twitter.
"Is it just me or does cut after 1 official UFC fight seam a little harsh I know I didn't perform my best ! Neva mind," he tweeted.
Fletcher (8-3) was on a four-fight winning streak heading into "The Smashes," representing Team U.K. against Team Australia. He advanced to the finals with wins over Ben Hall and Richie Vaculik.
He was defeated in the finals by Norman Parke at UFC on FX 6 by unanimous decision. Despite losing, Fletcher was offered a UFC contract.
Fletcher faced TUF 16 runner-up Mike Ricci at UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz on March 16. He was defeated by unanimous decision in his one and only post-TUF bout.
Fletcher later tweeted his release was not that big of a surprise.
"Wasn't unexpected," he wrote. "Just thought I wasn't the most boring of the guys who lose n don't get cut."

The Fall of Kelvin Walker
Drawing on a mixture of Scottish archetypes and British stereotypes and expressing all the author's cynicism towards religion, the media and the imperial British centre, this brief fable was reportedly inspired by Gray's own visit to London as a struggling artist to record a documentary called Under The Helmet (in which he tried to increase his sales by suggesting that he ...more

Feb 14, 2015 Tom Willard rated it really liked it
Shelves: britannia-postmodernism
I like a book that shouts in all caps to me, GOODBYE!! A proper exit is demanded in a book that stands on such formalities. The only thing that could out duel Gray's adieu is an ANTICLIMAX, tidily, almost mockingly so, detailing the eventualities of the dramatis personae of this narrative. And it is true, things are always easier for the English. What did I really know about the Scot Gray? I knew his books looked odd, that he is far too fond of large fonts and there lies a woodcut quality to man ...more
Feb 09, 2011 MJ Nicholls rated it really liked it · review of another edition
One from Gray's raging nationalist staple. A confident Scot from a remote village goes to London to make his fame and fortune, but can't shake his father's Calvinist guilt. A rather dour book with no redemption. Lovely. (Nice cover, too).
Feb 18, 2015 Nigel rated it it was amazing
A Scottish Calvinist replaces God with Nietzsche and travels to London to force himself on the world through sheer will and bare faced cheek and complete and utter self-assurance. His rise is rapid, his fall abrupt and along the way he tramples through a few lives of the poor and powerless and the rich and powerful and is rather like an alien visiting from another planet. Funny and odd and... well, odd and funny. Funny peculiar rather than funny ha-ha, mind you.
Jan 20, 2016 Fraser rated it really liked it
Of its time, a tale of a somewhat sociopathic individual moving from a small town in Scotland to wreak havoc in London. The story is somewhat predictable, but the situations uncomfortable and the writing Gray's dependable dour style.
Jun 24, 2015 Sarah rated it liked it
Cynical, dour, slightly depressing, Scottish, witty, succinct. A good quick read.
Nov 02, 2014 Fergus rated it really liked it · review of another edition
Dour and cynical and angry and funny and typically great.
Oct 19, 2011 Slickdpdx rated it really liked it · review of another edition
The origins of this slim novel as a play show in witty snippets of dialogue and bold strokes that quickly paint the rise (and fall) of a young Scot and self-proclaimed Nietzschean determined to take London and the World. A good read.
Jun 14, 2010 Juno rated it really liked it
That's two by Gray now and at the end of both I've found myself sort of speechless. Pointed, acidly pointed and yet, somehow, sympathetic. Or maybe human. Also quite funny.

I've been reviewing the history of fascism recently, because the Republic of Iran has many structural features in common with fascism and I think the history of fascism in Europe holds lessons about its future. And recently I ran across a quote beloved of American leftists in an email signature:
From Benito Mussolini: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power."
This quote is often misconstrued nowadays by leftists who view profit-making corporations under capitalism (especially multinational corporations) as instruments of the devil. They love the implied image of capitalist fat-cats and fascist dictators conspiring in gilded opulence. Alas for them that this quote actually doesn't imply anything like that; the terminological ground under it has shifted.

BARCELONA, Spain, February 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Nevales Networks, an innovator that securely connects branch offices, work groups, and remote workspaces, today launched its next generation security gateway 'Aquamarine' at Mobile World Congress 2014 happening 24-27 February in Barcelona, Spain.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130515/613638 )
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140225/671645 )
Aquamarine is part of Nevales lineup of cloud security gateways, designed to redefine the performance and power consumption criteria for a modern distributed enterprise. In addition, the high-performance, energy-efficient, cost-effective plug-and-play ready security gateway device is smaller than a smart phone.
The device is powered by Ingenic's JZ4780, a highly integrated dual core MIPS-based SoC, which leverages a 1.3GHz+ MIPS-based XBurst CPU. Because it is built on the MIPS architecture from Imagination Technologies, the energy efficiency of the new device has improved over Nevales' previous generation products, consuming approximately 140mW per GHz under full load. With its futuristic form factor and smart design, combined with high performance and energy efficiency, the device is one-of-a-kind in the security and connectivity domain.
Nevales range of devices integrates several key security features like firewall, VPN, content filtering, authentication, access and policy control along with connectivity features like Wi-Fi access point, dual ISP balancing and failover, into one easy-to-manage device available on subscription model. These devices can be centrally managed using Nevales web interface across any number of distributed locations, allowing for automatically administering policies, configurations, updates/upgrades from the cloud - enabling branch deployments without the need for on-site IT.
Carriers are constantly seeking to increase topline revenues, raise ARPU, and decrease churn without incurring any substantial capital expenditures, Nevales offers them a unique platform to provide a fully managed solution to their customers.
Kaushik Thakkar, Co-Founder and CEO at Nevales Networks, said, "We are very excited to launch Aquamarine, our revolutionary new security gateway, at this year's event. Our focus at Nevales is to develop superior solutions to address the real threats and needs of businesses today and Aquamarine delivers an unprecedented level of connectivity and network security that until today, just hasn't been available and timing couldn't have been any more perfect."
Thakkar continued, "With Aquamarine, Imagination's MIPS architecture has been instrumental in enabling us to achieve the horsepower needed to address gateway appliance requirements within the lowest possible cost and power envelopes. The result is outstanding; our new security gateway is very small but delivers matchless performance."
"Nevales is an innovative company and its new Aquamarine is a compelling cloud-based solution that showcases the efficiency and performance benefits of Imagination's MIPS architecture. We are pleased to be working closely with Nevales on this and future generations of its innovative security gateway appliances to help them achieve ever better levels of energy efficiency," said Amit Rohatgi, Vice President, Strategic Marketing, Imagination Technologies.
The Aquamarine device will be on display in Imagination's booth number 6E30 at Mobile World Congress. Mobile World Congress is the premier global meeting place for mobile professionals and is expected to attract over 72,000 attendees.

Assault Rifles and Pimp Hats at Our Hometown Kids' Christmas Parade
We went home for turkey, and our mom's dragged us to this wack Christmas parade in the place we grew up, a town where we once found post-student-stabbing blood on our public-high-school locker. (Swear to Jesus, which was coincidentally one of the most popular names there.) Nothing's changed, it appears: the balloon men sell inflated Spongebobs, stuffed Rudolphs, assault rifles, and pimps' hats! Christmas is for the children!
