|Reviews for A Disaster Beyond His Imagination
| NicoleMarieDubois chapter 1 . 10/14/2014
Whoa, how'd I miss this? Sorry I'm so late to the party. Loved your dramatization of Erik's writer's block, especially as he tried-and discarded-so many chords and notes, and then began questioning his talent like a man who's found himself suddenly impotent... And wow great sexual undertones to the music lesson, in which he "hadn't meant to push her quite so far," and her "flushed cheeks" as he "withdrew"... it WAS only a music lesson, right? ha! And I'm impressed with his ability to visualize (or whatever the aural equivalent is) his composition. Even more impressed with your dramatization of it! Brava!
| EntirelyInsane chapter 1 . 6/30/2010
This was gorgeous. I love the way you really got inside Erik's head...you captured his character really well, I think. And it sounds like you have a true understanding of music, as well...it really sounded like the thoughts of a composer.
And I can so hear that lone violin and "achingly beautiful" chord...
Overall, beautifully done.
| Laura Schiller chapter 1 . 3/1/2010
It's only fitting for Erink to get writer's block once in a while, genius as he is. He's only human after all. A great idea and well executed, with his imagination and his worries. And of course Christine would be his Muse.
| MissDoeEyes chapter 1 . 1/4/2010
Well, this was certainly a nice read. The pace wasn't bad at all, and the characters weren't ooc. Good job!
-Mizuki's Star (TMB)
| Disguise of Carnivorism chapter 1 . 1/2/2010
This actually impressed me. It's been unimaginably long since a Phantom of the Opera fanfiction actually genuinely impressed me. So long. People don't write PotO for the music, it seems, which is rather odd considering the nature of the story. (Apparently, Phantom fanfiction is ONLY Phantom fanfiction if Erik and Christine spend three days getting it on to the tune of Past the Point of No Return.) This... actually dealt with Erik as Erik, not Erik as Gerard Butler in tight pants. So thank you very much for that. "That" being artistic integrity, which seems to be surprisingly lacking over here on fanfiction net.
Also, the entire concept of Erik losing his muse was quite entertaining to read, especially as your Erik was a tad mental. Other than the subtle laughs dropped throughout the fic, there was some bona fide good writing going on. The dream scene was just genius. I could theoretically debate the nature of Erik's interactions with Christine, but I won't, because although I don't necessarily agree with certain aspects, it's obvious you bothered thinking them through-more than most can say.
At any rate. Splendid little fic you have here, and greatly deserving of a little more review attention. (Perhaps you should have Christine grope Erik in the author's note?) *ahem* Keep it up. You have semi-restored my faith in this fandom.

well, Erik, that was new, wasn't it? :)great story!
| Reiko Rose chapter 1 . 8/27/2009
This was very nice! You can never really imagine Erik getting writer's block, but if he did, this would definately be one of the possible outcomes. And imagining his muse as Christine stayed true to his nature. Well done!

As noted on the Degree Requirements page, GSAS degree requirements consist of a) the academic requirements enumerated by the department or program, and b) the requirement of residence at the University, which students fulfill by completing a stated number of Residence Units.
At GSAS, Transfer Credit denotes relevant coursework completed before a student's enrollment in a GSAS degree program that he or she submits in partial fulfillment of specific academic requirements for the degree. This determination is made by the student's department, approved by GSAS, and entered on the student's transcript as formal acknowledgement of previously completed, approved work. During the first semester in which they register, students requesting Transfer Credit should submit the Application for Transfer Credit form (PDF) as well as any relevant materials to their department's Director of Graduate Studies or Program Director. Departments and programs use this chart to determine the number of points of Transfer Credit to award, and forward their recommendation to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Please note that all courses submitted for Transfer Credit must be at the graduate level (at Columbia, this means courses at the 4000 level and above) and worth three or more points each.
Students should be aware of the following policies:
- Transfer Credit is granted solely by the faculty and the Dean of the Graduate School.
- Requests for Transfer Credit must be made by the student and endorsed by the Director of Graduate Studies/Program Director.
- Under no circumstances will undergraduate courses (for Columbia courses, those at the 3000 level and below) be accepted as Transfer Credit toward a Master's or doctoral degree.
- Once granted, Transfer Credit cannot be revoked.
- Departments and programs reserve the right to determine the number of points of Transfer Credit awarded to each student.
- No amount of Transfer Credit (whether credits or RUs) will affect Ph.D. students' five-year guaranteed funding package.
- Students who transfer from one Ph.D. program to another within Columbia University andj receive Transfer Credit from the original course of study do not receive additional guaranteed funding beyond the initial offer letter of five years of funding.
Policies for awarding Transfer Credit differ depending on the type of degree program (doctoral or Master's). Please see the appropriate section below.
Doctoral Students
Doctoral Students Entering with a Master's Degree:
All doctoral students are required to complete a total of six Residence Units. Doctoral students who have completed the requirements either a) for an appropriate M.A. degree, conferred in another division of Columbia or by another regionally accredited institution (or the international equivalent), or b) (occasionally) for an appropriate professional degree taken at Columbia or elsewhere, may be granted, upon entrance to the Graduate School, two Residence Units toward the required total of six. Departments decide whether the previously completed M.A. is appropriate: it must meet Columbia departmental standards and contribute directly and substantially to the fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees at Columbia.
Students who have been granted two Residence Units toward the total of six Residence Units are not eligible to receive an M.A. from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Note: Because departments reserve the right to establish degree requirements for all students in their programs, it is important to note that students may not necessarily be exempt from all requirements demanded of M.A. candidates, even if they are not eligible for the Columbia M.A. degree.
Graduate students transferring to Columbia as an advisee of a faculty member hired from another institution may be granted a higher number of Residence Units based on special departmental determination.
Doctoral Students Entering without a Master's Degree:
Ph.D. students who have taken graduate-level courses at Columbia before joining their current doctoral program, but have not completed an appropriate M.A. degree program or the equivalent (or an appropriate professional degree), may receive up to 30 points of Transfer Credit. On rare occasions, Ph.D. students who have previously taken graduate-level courses at Columbia for an appropriate certificate may receive up to 30 points of Transfer Credit.
Ph.D. students who have taken graduate-level courses outside Columbia, but have not completed an appropriate M.A. degree program or the equivalent (or an appropriate professional degree), may receive up to 15 points of Transfer Credit. In this case, M.A. coursework requirements may be shortened by the amount of Transfer Credits, subject to approval by the department. For example, if the M.A. degree requires 30 credits and the student transfers 10 credits, he or she may need to fulfill only the remaining 20 credits.
Students who registered previously in a graduate program at Columbia without receiving a Master's degree must register in six RUs while matriculated in the Ph.D. program. Note: Depending on the number of RUs in which they were registered prior to entering the Ph.D. program, their student records may show more than six total RUs.
Students may not register for Extended Residence until they have accumulated a total of six RUs as students in the Ph.D. program in which they are currently registered.
Master's Students
For graduate courses taken previously at Columbia in their post-baccalaureate years, students registered in courses in M.A. or certificate programs may request up to 15 points of Columbia Transfer Credit toward fulfillment of the coursework requirement for an M.A. degree if the graduate credits have not been used to fulfill requirements for any other degree previously awarded. In this case, M.A. coursework requirements may be shortened by the amount of Transfer Credits, subject to approval by the department. For example, if the M.A. degree requires 30 credits and the student transfers 10 credits, he or she may need to fulfill only the remaining 20 credits. Transfer Credits for post-baccalaureate coursework may also partially fulfill the Residence Unit requirement for completion of the M.A. degree (2 RUs), subject to approval by the department.
- 2 classes or 6 credits are the equivalent of 0.25 RU
- 3 classes or 9 credits are the equivalent of 0.5 RU
- 4 classes or 12 credits are the equivalent of 1 RU
For graduate courses taken previously at Columbia in their post-baccalaureate years, students who have earned a Columbia M.A. or certificate may use previous Columbia coursework for placement in a program, and to satisfy requirements in the new program, but these previous courses may not count toward the total number of credits or courses required for the degree nor toward the two RUs required for the current Master's degree.
No Transfer Credit is granted toward the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree at Columbia for courses taken outside Columbia University.

Cavers: A Vampire Tale (Cavers #1)
Looking forward to her fifteenth birthday and a new school, Allie Carter finds that all is not as it seems. Curiosity leads to the discovery of vampires at her school, in her classrooms, and in her town. More curious is the fact that her new best friend, Sara Johnson, is in league with them or a vampire herself.
As she seeks to prove her friends role, Allie is drawn into an unforgiving world of power and death. Instead of running for her life, she joins a secret society dedicated to helping the vampires remain hidden. Allie becomes a caretaker to the adorable five-year-old Lila and must teach her to blend into human society, but if she fails, the young child will be killed.
To navigate the vampire world and educate the children, Allie (and girls like her) receives injections: she runs faster, leaps higher, hears and sees better with increased strength and agility. These girls are one-step away from becoming vampires themselves, influencing their children, fighting in their wars, becoming the hallmark for integrity and dedication as they help to shape the future of the vampire world. Will Allie have so much fun that she forgets the danger or to educate and protect young Lila or will she rise to the challenge before her? And what of the parents she loves? Will turning her back on them be worth risking all when the vampire princess wants to kill her for pure pleasure? Only time will tell.

Teenage girls from the local school are recruited as nannies for vampire children. Lured by supernatural powers they can posses, these girls throw caution to the wind and have a blast until townspeople discover the unholy creatures. Battle ensues and the girls must choose sides. A great whirlwind of a story. I highly recommend this to all.
This would be a good book for teens who like vampires. Allie finds out vampires are real, & they need babysitters. Nice idea! I thought Mr. Richards could have done a better job keeping the townsfolk happy & unknowing. It seemed that many of the townsfolk are upset about missing kids, I would have thought since they have been raising vampires there for years the townsfolk should know & work together. There was a moment when Allie & Sara stay the nite, & some foul language was used, it didn't seem appropriate for the characters to use that. The prophecy needs to be explained a little better. GL Mr. Richards
Very much enjoyed the book. I would recomend this to everyone..fun read

Most software products are sold internationally. Even a website is a software, with the aim to gain attention to market oneself or a product or rather to advertise. Therefore, it does make sense to adapt the product to culture-specific conditions. The objective of this thesis is to acquire knowledge of different behaviours of people from different cultures, which could have an impact on the usage of software user interfaces. Furthermore, the paper explains in more detail what is meant with software user interfaces and gives inputs on how to create a user-friendly system. In addition, the thesis illustrates the topic usability and what is necessary to guarantee it. The acquired knowledge is combined in a practical example, which fulfils the cultural requirements and the guidelines of usability. The thesis discusses the following questions: When is a software user interface qualified as user-friendly? Is it necessary to consider cultural aspects when developing software user interfaces for different countries? What aspects need to be considered when designing an intercultural software user interface?

The results of the 2016 GP Patient Survey show that patients in Bath and North East Somerset have overwhelmingly good experiences when they go to see their GP. Nowhere else in the country scored higher than B&NES for overall patient experience.
However, the demands on GPs are increasing, recruiting new GPs is becoming a challenge and the way primary care is delivered in B&NES is becoming difficult to maintain.
The CCG is working with all 26 practices in B&NES to develop a strategy for primary care which will encourage practices to work more closely together to provide a wider range of services to their local communities, seven days a week.
During July 2016, we visited all five Area Forums in B&NES (Bathavon, Bath City, Keynsham, Somer Valley and Chew Valley) to hear their ideas. You can read what they said in our engagement report (see above right).
We plan to announce further consultation in the autumn.

It's about time Mountain View had a full service hotel. That was one of the original plans for the old Emporium site so hopefully this one will work out. The April 25th fundraiser for Community Services of Mountain view has to be held at a Palo Alto Hotel, would be great if those types of events could be held in Mountain View but currently there are no suitable venues Web Link

I was just wondering if it was the Intercontinental Hotel in East Palo Alto that appeared to sink before opening a couple of years back. I guess the issue is fixed as the hotel seems to be open. Does anybody have more details? Thank you.

Dr. Marvin W. McCallister, DVM, Veterinary Services Branch
In order to receive the most benefit from the use of vaccines or other injectable drugs, and to avoid the risk of injury or carcass damage, it is imperative that these products be used with utmost care at all times. The following protocol should become part of an every day routine.
Many of the above principles apply to the other types of injectable drugs used by the swine producer as well. The "Precaution" section of the drug label is generally where it is indicated if refrigeration or protection from light is necessary, or if it can just be stored at room temperature. The "Warning" section provides the slaughter withdrawal information.
All equipment and products should be stored in a dust proof cupboard in a room away from high traffic areas, preferably with a sink for cleanup. Many producers have found an old fridge to put in the barn, and it is a good idea to occasionally put a thermometer in it to be sure it is keeping your products as cool as required. Be sure that the product labels are in a handy spot nearby. Do not leave opened vials sitting out in alleyways, and especially do not leave needles inserted in vials, as this is a sure way to contaminate them.
Only with the proper handling and storage of vaccines and drugs will these products work the way they are intended to, as well as minimising the risk of causing harmful effects to the recipient animals.

Campaign for outing bigots coming to a community near you?
When will liberals realize that we are at war and their tree hugging love fest will do nothing but get innocent people killed?
Check it out:
In a world so full of racists that you can't walk down the street without tripping over a "likely suspect" (you can usually identify them by their lily-white skin), an enterprising group of activists in Brazil has devised a method for erasing all doubt.
According to Opposing Views:
The group says its campaign isn't designed to shame Facebook trolls — while the posts and content are reproduced on the billboards, the names of the posters are blurred out, and their avatars are heavily pixelated.
It is hard to imagine in these emotionally charged times that those offended by the messages won't at least try to track down the offenders — or, in the event they can't find them, hapless surrogates — and seek vengeance.

Since 2006, in order to create a complete security solution, AVG Technology has added to its antivirus, anti-spyware, link scanner, secure search engine, firewall, protection against identity theft and many other technologies.AVG Internet Security 2015 is a complete security solution that goes beyond basic safety. AVG has understood that the majority of users opted for the free protection and to remedy this problem the company AVG has decided to put the package on additional features to attract users to the paid versions of their software.Personally, I haven't encountered big difficulties installing AVG Internet Security 2015. The installation was quick and simple. Although pleasant and efficient, but the interface could be improved. The main displays are well presented and not too complicated, the main interface allows straightforward navigation.To satisfy customers who switched to the paid version, AVG provides them with tools that are not included in the free version such as Facebook protection tool, reports on the reputation of websites, a tool to fight against harassment to protect children, a YouTube video accelerator, updates more frequent updates and 24/7 support.
Pros :
Cons :
AVG is another of the most popular free antivirus, definitely one of the easiest to use and has a great recognition engine virus, malware or spyware. The user interface is really simple though I personally do not think it is very attractive (I do not like the big square like Windows 8 style), but it is very intuitive and greatly facilitates the user experience.

There's a lot we like about AVG Internet Security 2015. AVG's overall virus protection has improved significantly (which that counts for a lot), and they've done it while also putting a lighter load on your PC. AVG Internet Security 2015 does a good job of PC protection, we just wish the tech support were better and easier to get to.More about AVG Internet Security
Wednesday 31 December 1969
AVG Anti-Virus 2015 is a solid antivirus software that improves tremendously on prior versions, especially in the area of resource usage. AVG Anti-Virus 2015 is a good option for those needing only basic antivirus software. Were it not for the nonsense surrounding their tech support, it may have scored even higher.More about AVG AntiVirus
Friday 09 January 2015
AVG is a big name in AV, with its free software offering a basic level of protection. We chose to evaluate this over the paid-for software, because it's the most popular version. Internet Security 2015 is the paid-for service, and includes additional features that could potentially improve its results, including Cloud-based file scanning, which analyses files before they're ever downloaded to your computer.More about AVG AntiVirus

Public Space – It's For All of Us
1 / 07 / 2016
By Jessamy Gleeson
I've recently taken up a new pastime called "walking in a straight line down a sidewalk", and it's been interesting to see the results. Of course, I don't mean blatantly mowing down innocent pedestrians with carefree abandonment. But I'm no longer shifting around every man that steps into my path. Some men don't even notice, while some men end up shoulder checking me, so oblivious are they to the fact that perhaps I'm not as willing to move out of their way as I once was.
And I'm not the only one fighting back in small ways. If I scan my Facebook feed, I see stories of my friends staring down men on trains who have been trying to touch their hair, other women calling out men on their "jokes" about rape and assault in public, and groups of women mobilising to call out poor behaviour at gigs. That last example happened recently at a Camp Cope gig in Melbourne, when a group of men decided to elbow a group of punters (many of whom were women) out of the way during a song that was, somewhat ironically, all about hyper masculinity and the silencing of women.
Of course, the attitudes that sit behind men's entitlement to public space have subsisted long before the Internet has; as a whole, men have dominated public space for almost as long as there has been public space. But as the current awareness surrounding feminism has started to expand, women are beginning to push back – in some cases, quite literally.
One of the most obvious examples of men taking up more than their fair share of public space can be seen in the phenomenon that is manspreading – a perceived entitlement that is now increasingly being called out by women worldwide. However, women staking a claim on public space can also be seen elsewhere. The #whyloiter movement was created by a group of Indian women, and has seen campaigners "loiter" alone in public, whilst documenting the experience on social media. Back in Melbourne, the #ourparks was created as a one- protest in 2015, and saw hundreds of women turn out to reclaim their "parks" after a police officer had advised them not to "be alone in parks".
Image sourced from http://mentakingup2muchspaceonthetrain.tumblr.com/page/2
Aside from the routine actions of taking up space on the sidewalk, women have also been hitting the streets as participants in a series of marches and rallies. Two of the most recent feminist marches in Melbourne are SlutWalk, and Reclaim The Night, where each year thousands of women march to combat victim blaming, slut shaming, and the right to take up public space. And as someone who has previously led SlutWalk down a main street in Melbourne's CBD, I can assure you it's an incredibly powerful, but also deeply foreign experience to know that we have a right to be there, to protest, and to take up space.
If you're questioning why this issue is important enough to trigger multiple rallies and protests, you need to recognise is that women experience public space in a very different way to men. Women are constantly told to be aware of their surroundings: to be alert, to fight back, to run away, to call the police. Aside from the inherent victim blaming that exists within this message, we should also acknowledge that men aren't told this. Sure, they are warned about how to not get into a fight in a bar (or, alternately, how to win a fight in a bar) – but their right to walk down a street at 3pm or 3am is not questioned.

We also need to recognise that these negative experiences of public space are doubled, tripled, and quadrupled for a person of colour, a person who is trans, a person who has a disability, or a person that identifies their sexuality as being something other than straight. Claiming public space is not as easy for some people within these minorities as it is for others. And as much as women can push back, we should also ensure that we advocate for the rights of people that belong to other minorities to be able to safely do the same.
Public space is exactly what it sounds like – public. It's not 'straight white man' space any more, and based on the rallies, marches, Tumblr accounts and callouts, women are no willing to pretend it is. So, if all this leaves you wondering where you can start, simply return to one of the long-held truths of feminism: the personal is the political. Figure out what space you think you're entitled to, and claim it.
Jessamy Gleeson works in and researches social media, feminism, online activism, and gender studies. Outside of her research, Jessamy also assists in organising and wrangling other feminist campaigns and events, including SlutWalk Melbourne, Cherchez la Femme, and Girls on Film Festival.

Equity Research Products & Performance
Markets and Valuations: Overvalued? Indian Equity Markets are at inflection point. Markets moving out of recession and entering into consolidation or expansion phase. Expansion in forward P/E has been the biggest market driver rather than any significant rise in the current EPS. Current market rise is largely been on expectations of a strong economic performance in FY2010-11E. Markets waiting for actual expansion in earnings over the next 2-3 quarters to rise further
What can lead the markets to fall… Reversal of balance sheet expansion by Fed and other governments. Markets becoming overbought and stretched (technicals). Earnings disappointment or upgrades should not happen or no geo-political or corporate governance issue should derail this market rise.
Conclusion: At 17000 and expected GDP growth of 6.5 % we would certainly not invest in the markets aggressively. Our strategy would be to sit on sidelines & wait for the right correction. We believe markets break earlier higher level of 21700 & create new highs near to 26000 on the best scenario while at the worst case we expect 15500 on Sensex. We recommend looking at opportunities with our unique perspective which has outperformed the benchmark indices. This time we have a longer list with three companies getting repeated based on their favorable fundamental outlook. Markets and Valuations: Overvalued?

SINCE STUART Proffitt stomped out of HarperCollins over the Chris Patten affair and fetched up at Penguin, everyone has been anxiously awaiting his first acquisitions. (The only project known to be on his desk is Charles Moore's biography of the blessed Margaret, but that's not due to be published until she has been well and truly kicked upstairs.) This week brought word that he has acquired the pensees of George Walden, the former Conservative member for Buckingham and a former chairman of the Booker judges. His published canon includes a book on ethics and foreign policy and another on education.
ALAN CLARK, the member for Kensington and Chelsea who (lust aside) usually has more time for animals than people, is turning out in a good cause next Tuesday. He will launch Voices, a double cassette of readings by local celebrities in aid of the Kensington & Chelsea Talking Newspaper, celebrating its 10th anniversary. Voices includes John Cleese reading from G K Chesterton, Diana Rigg from Elizabeth Jane Howard, P D James from her own work, and Hugh Whitemore from Paddington. Everyone has given their talents for free and Lord Puttnam describes the anthology (Polygram OutLoud, pounds 7.99) as having "a cast in a million".
LOOK OUT soon for the British debut of Quist books for children. Launched in the US by the leather-clad Harlin Quist, who arrived in New York 50 years ago with $20 and two suitcases, his picture books have won numerous awards and are said to have revolutionised children's publishing. Inaugural titles here include Bus 24 and The Geranium on the Windowsill Just Died.
GOOD NEWS amid the bad for Richard Cohen. The eponymous independent admitted defeat last week, having lost pounds 500,000 of his own money. But Metro Books, another independent run by ex-Faberite Susanne McDadd, is taking on both Cohen and his list, including Al Alvarez's autobiography Where Did It All Go Right? Interesting question.Reuse content

This place was horrible! We booked a 3 bed private and all our beds were pushed together to make one big bed! We had to separate them in order to put our mosquito nets up and quickly learned that the middle bed was being held up by bricks! The room was dirty! There was so much dust we could barely breathe! The blankets were itchy and we all went bed fully clothed so we wouldn't itch and because of the filth. There was no hot water, sink didn't work, and bathroom was disgusting.

Jeremy Wall is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, a founding member of the veteran band Spyro Gyra, and a matchmaker, of sorts: in 2006, Wall arranged a meeting between Andrew Horn and Alex Ruimy on the campus of SUNY Oneonta.
Horn, a songwriter-vocalist from Utica, and Ruimy, a songwriter-guitarist from Scarsdale, soon realized the compatibility of their talents. Their initial collaborations confirmed this, as the duo's performances became instant and resounding successes in the eyes of their collegiate peers.
The Horn/Ruimy project initially recorded seven songs, including current fan favorites such as "Shakespeare Lied" and "My Everything." Buoyed by their early achievements (and their new-found fans' demand for more), the prolific duo wrote dozens of songs together.
In 2007, Horn and Ruimy met Tom Vicale. An accomplished professional drummer of several years, Vicale meshed seamlessly with the band. With this final convergence of talent, the Red Goodbye lineup had been completed.
Red Goodbye combines soulful, intelligent lyrics with stylistic musicianship and powerful vocals to produce lush, energetic rock. Straightforward and enjoyable, the band's rich sound is a unique–and welcome!–alternative to much of today's derivative, cookie-cutter music.
The band draws on early-90's influences such as Alter Bridge, Dream Theater, John Mayer, and 3 Doors Down to create songs that are engaging and powerful—as well as unmistakably their own. Red Goodbye crafts layered harmonies ("Hourglass"); textured musicianship (the piano intro to "I Will Carry On"); and moving guitar/vocal crescendos ("My Everything").
Red Goodbye has drawn notice and praise from a wide group of listeners who recognize and appreciate quality rock music. Their fan-base is diverse…and growing.
Admittedly, it's a rarity when music this exciting is created in a relatively short time. But Red Goodbye has the talent and chemistry of a band that's been together for years. Moreover, they have the sound of a band that's on the verge of a major breakthrough.

Case Studies
DTE Energy upgraded their train scheduling system, known as Automated Rail Receipts (ARR) application, from Oracle Forms 6i to 11g, in order to enhance and integrate their application with ADF. Leveraging the ADF calendar component, PITSS was able to design a user-interface that integrates seamlessly with the existing ARR Oracle Forms application running on Fusion Middleware 11g. By enabling end-users to utilize state-of-the-art web functionality, like drag & drop and mobile device accessibility, productivity was significantly increased for their existing business processes.
Men's Wearhouse converted their Tuxedo Rental Oracle Forms application to the latest release: Oracle Forms11g. Men's Wearhouse has about 700 Forms modules and 300 Reports that have been converted from Version 6i to 11g. In this conversion Men's Wearhouse were aided by Oracle partner PITSS, who used their tool PITSS.CON, to automate the upgrade in a fraction of the time it would have taken to convert manually.
PITSS America, the Oracle Forms and Reports experts, have helped Hutchinson Port Holdings (HPH) to further profit from their existing applications by proficiently converting all Oracle Forms applications to the latest release Oracle Forms 11g. HPH has about 2500 Forms modules that have been converted from Oracle Forms 6i to 11g in only 4 days using the PITSS reduced risk migration software PITSS.CON.
Power South Energy Cooperative, headquartered in Andalusia, Ala., is an electricity generation and transmission (G&T) cooperative. Power South's field inspectors needed a way to take photographs, collect GPS coordinates, and fill out reports in the field without a laptop. This project was an Oracle Forms modernization effort that would provide support for offline work and data synchronization. Power South chose Oracle ADF Mobile as the development platform for the project because it offered simplified mobile development and easy integration with native device features providing field inspectors with all the functionality required on a mobile tablet. Not only does the application collect rich coordinate and photographic data, it ensures high data quality through an excellent user interface built with an iterative design approach. Power South's inspectors now do their work faster and with higher data integrity, leading to more reliable reporting and business intelligence. Power South's internal team is better prepared to support tablet (iOS) technology going forward.
SV Informatik is carrying out essential modernization projects to better support the business processes of an insurance company with an innovative IT solution. The new solution uses web services that allow interfacing with external third-party services such as lightning and storm enquiries to a weather service for the investigation of insurance claims. The integration of new web services into the existing application entails risks if the impact of the system changes is unknown. Performance problems and loss of functionality could be the result, with possible long and difficult recovery as the consequence.
With the analysis functionality of the PITSS.CON tool, all the modules affected by an application change can be detected, evaluated and edited in advance. This ensures SV Informatik has no costly surprises during their modernization projects.

Until she was appointed as High Commissioner to Sierra Leone in February this year, she was Director of Protocol in the State House, Abuja, Nigeria. A career diplomat of immense wealth of experience, Ambassador Gladys Quist-Adebiyi is a woman of enlightened, extensive and extemporaneous discussion. More so, she is widely known to be action oriented. Within a few months as the new High Commissioner, she has rehabilitated the High Commission, as well as the Residence, which had almost been abandoned. This has evidently, repositioned and elevated Nigeria's image in Sierra Leone. In this interview, she spoke on a wide range of topical issues
What has it been coming to Sierra Leone as the new High Commissioner?
There is a perception of "Nigeria Man" "Oga man" in the Sierra Leonean local parlance.
What are your comments on these?
When I arrived, I heard such callings. It hurts me so badly. I want to appeal to Sierra Leoneans to please, desist from these types of callings. Because we do not do such in Nigeria to Sierra Leoneans. A lot of us trace our roots to Sierra Leone, just as how a lot of Sierra Leoneans trace their roots to Nigeria. In government, past and present presidents are working closely. We see Sierra Leone as a sister country. So when you hear this thing called Nigeria man or woman, it pains us as it does not augur well to a befitting sister or brother. We see you as brothers and sisters. It is quite derogatory. In every society, you have the good, the bad and ugly. So also in Nigeria, in Sierra Leone, everywhere in the world. We have a special relationship with Sierra Leone.
What is the current state of relationship between Nigeria and Sierra Leone?
I must state our relationship is growing deeper and warmer. President Koroma and President Jonathan are good friends and they are partnering together. President Jonathan, working on "Transformation Agenda" and President Koroma, on "Prosperity Agenda". Both are passionate toward infrastructural developments. Both want to see the people out of poverty. So also the respective First Ladies. We also have the Technical Aid Corps (TAC) programmes in the educational and health sectors. I'm also partnering with UNFPA, in bringing in professionals to build up capacity in their respective fields. Also the SLRTA, we have road safety corps members who come in for capacity-building too. We have the LAWMA working with MASADA in environmental sanitation exercises, to keep Freetown clean. We have our soldiers in ISSAT, we are working with the Police and a lot of other sectors in the country. We stand shoulder by shoulder with Sierra Leone in the process of development. We are looking at the Joint Commission where we will look at various areas like trade and development and the likes, that will result in a win-win situation for the two countries.
What can Sierra Leone offer Nigeria?
In the area of agriculture, like poultry, so also fisheries and mining, Sierra Leone has a lot to offer us, just as Nigeria, too, has a lot to offer. I want a win-win situation for the two countries. I believe, as my President does, we can all team together in various fields, to achieve our desired objectives and goals.
What is the present security situation in Nigeria, particularly the Boko Haram problem?
We are having difficult times in Nigeria. The Boko Haram insurgent are offshoots of al-Qaeda. Terrorism is borderless. They came into the country through the North-East from the Sahelian region of Mali, Niger, Chad, all the way from Somalia. Everybody is pained in Nigeria about what is going on in the country.
How do you assess President Goodluck Jonathan and is he going run in 2015?
President Jonathan has done a lot, in terms of infrastructure, in terms of bringing the people out of poverty. If he is going to run in 2015 is a personal issue. He has a right to it. Every Nigerian president has a right to two terms of four years in office. I think he should be allowed to do his job and leave the issue of re-election aside.
Nigeria is now the biggest economy in Africa, overtaking South Africa. How does this reflect on the ordinary Nigerian?
Like the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said, there is no immediate effect on the lives of Nigerians on the street. It is going to be gradual. It is going to take some time.
