Networker Juniper Networks (JNPR) this afternoon reported Q1 revenue and profit that slightly exceeded analysts' expectations, and forecast this quarter's profit a penny higher than consensus, sending its shares higher in late trading.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 11%, year over year, to $1.22 billion, yielding EPS of 46 cents per share, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $1.2 billion in revenue and 42 cents EPS.
CEO Rami Rahim called it a "positive start" to the year, with "strong" revenue growth.
CFO Ken Miller said the company had "managed operating expenses prudently," and cited "particularly strong" cash flow from operations.
The company's operating profit margin was 12.8%, a decline from the year-earlier 13.5%, while the non-GAAP margin rose to 20.8% from 19.3%.
For this quarter, the company sees revenue of $1.28 billion, give or take $30 million. That is in line with consensus.
EPS is expected in a range of 51 cents to 57 cents, a penny better than consensus for 53 cents.
Juniper stock is up 92 cents, or 3.3%, at $28.70.
AT&T (T) this afternoon reported Q1 revenue that missed analysts' expectations and profit that was in line with consensus, citing "challenging" market conditions. Its shares rose in late trading.
Revenue in the three months ended in March fell 3%, year over year, to $39.4 billion, yielding EPS of 74 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $40.5 billion in revenue and 74 cents EPS.
AT&T added 2.7 million customers, on a "net" basis, of which 2.1 million in the U.S., driven by the "pre-paid" variety.
The company saw a decline of 191,000 subscribers on a "post-paid" basis, while adding 282,000 pre-paid subs.
The company updated its outlook for 2017, although really it is afirming what it has previously forecast, saying it expects EPS, on a non-GAAP basis, to rise "in the mid-single digit" range, which is a bit better than consensus for 3% growth.
The only part of the outlook that is new is that AT&T also said it will "no longer provide consolidated revenue guidance primarily due to the unpredictability of wireless handset sales."
First units of Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) recently released "Galaxy S8" smartphone have made their way into the hands of the tinkering class, which means that iFixit and others have had a chance to "tear down" these gadgets and see what kinds of parts are inside.
Which means that Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Mehdi Hosseini was able today to compile his estimate for how much the thing costs and whom it might benefit.
Hosseini concludes that the S8 costs, on average, $301.60 per unit in materials, what's known in the industry as the "bill of materials."
This is an "all time high," for the "BOM" for a Galaxy phone, writes Hosseini, which could be good for companies he covers, including Universal Display (OLED), a supplier to Samsung of materials used in the fabrication of OLED displays; and Corning (GLW), the maker of display cover glass.
Following a Q1 report this morning by telecom giant Ericsson (ERIC) that included disappointing revenue and a surprise net loss where a profit had been expected, chief financial officer Carl Mellander was kind enough to talk with me by phone for a few minutes.
Ericsson shares are down 6 cents, or 0.9%, at $6.30.
Mellander said the quarter had been "a challenging one," though he noted that "looking at the underlying business, the interesting piece is that network is holding up pretty well," referring to the main telecom networking equipment and software unit, which makes the bulk of the company's revenue.
The networks unit has "solid operating profit" of $4 billion in the quarter, and a 12% operating profit margin, after stripping away various one-time items.
Sales were "stable" in China and North America, he noted, but weak in some other areas. For example, Europe and Latin America, combined, saw revenue decline 16%. "Europe was pretty bleak," said Mellander.
Shares of T-Mobile US (TMUS) are up 20 cents, or 0.9%, at $23.19 this morning, bouncing back from last night's after-hours decline, after the company reported Q1 revenue that missed analysts' expectations, but beat on the bottom line, and raised its outlook for how many subscribers it may add this year.
The talk today from the Street is all about M&A. With the recent closing of the U.S. government's 600-megahertz spectrum auction, it seems the path is cleared for T-Mobile and other industry players to consider tie-ups, with T-Mo being either an acquirer or a target.
William Blair's Jim Breen, reiterating an Outperform rating, writes that
However, M&A speculation was the central theme on the earnings call. With the spectrum auction now over, we expect T-Mobile to play a prominent role in industry M&A. Comcast's (CMCSA) wireless service launch and acquisition of spectrum reflect the growing importance of quad-play offerings.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index this morning crossed a previous all-time, intra-day high of 5,989.91, set back on April 5th, and is up 34.89 points, or 0.6%, at 6,018.72, after opening at 6,004.16, led by gains in most tech bellwethers, the tech mega-caps such as Apple (AAPL).
Apple is up 51 cents at $144.15, not far from its all-time high of $145.46.
In fact, many of the major components are either setting or flirting with new highs. Facebook (FB) broke the record high it notched yesterday, rising to a new high of $146.35; Alphabet (GOOGL), too, surpassing yesterday's intra-day high of $879.96 with $884.35 this morning.
Microsoft (MSFT) crossed as well, hitting $68 this morning, above yesterday's all-time high of $67.66.
Netflix (NFLX) is up 3% at $148.34, and earlier hit a high of $148.57, surpassing the previous high on March 30th.
Even Amazon (AMZN), which got a downgrade this morning from Raymond James to the equivalent of a Hold, has risen fractionally to as high as $909.84, not far from its all-time high of $923.72.
Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler this morning cut his rating on shares of Amazon (AMZN) to Market Perform from Outperform, warning the stock is at his price target of $925 and that he needs to more in the way of margin improvement from the company's Amazon Web Services to drive the stock higher.
"We expect less near-term upside for AWS given December price cuts and increasing competition (e.g., Google)," writes Kessler.
"At current levels, we believe Amazon will need to begin to show greater operating leverage for shares to move meaningfully higher and reach our bull case."
Kessler notes some recent price cuts:
[Corrects consensus FYQ2 revenue estimate at end of article.]
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up 60 cents at $144.24, as Needham & Co.'s Laura Martin this morning reiterates a Buy rating on the shares, and a $165 price target, after raising her estimates for the fiscal year ending in September to reflect "pent-up demand for the 10th anniversary iPhone."
Martin's estimate for this year goes to $229.88 billion in revenue and $9.06 per share in earnings, up from a prior $228.16 billion and $9.02 per share.
"Our survey data indicates higher demand for the 10th anniversary iPhone models than previously," writes Martin, without extrapolation.
For the upcoming fiscal Q2 report, which is to be reported next Tuesday, May 2nd, Martin is estimating unit sales of the iPhone of 53.35 million. Based on that, she models revenue of $53.19 billion and EPS of $2.01. That revenue number is in line wit's the Street consensus for $53 billion, while the EPS figure is in line with consensus.
Martin overs a summary of her overall view on the appeal of Apple's business: "Fundamentally, we think the right way to think about AAPL's barriers to entry, pricing power, and competitive advantage period is through the lens of its ecosystem dominance of the wealthiest 15% of smartphone owners globally."
Correction: A prior version of this post made an incorrect comparison of Martin's FYQ2 revenue number with consensus. She is just about in line with the average estimate for $53 billion. My apologies for any confusion caused by the error.
Bernstein's Stacy Rasgon, reiterating an Underperform rating on Intel (INTC) and a Market Perform rating on shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), writes today that despite some bright spots for both companies, he wouldn't recommend buying on what is merely "tactical" strength.
Intel is set to report results this Thursday, after the closing bell, while AMD is to report next Monday, May 1st.
Intel, notes Rasgon, has the benefit of an improving PC market, as others have pointed out.
However, effecting for an extra week a year ago, he's not that impressed:
For Intel, we are in-line for Q1 ($14.8B/$0.65, same as consensus) and roughly in-line for Q2. While some investors have gotten more excited about improving (or at least stabilizing) PCs, we note the presence of an extra week in the year-ago quarter.
Shares of enterprise software giant SAP AG (SAP) are up 78 cents, or 0.8%, at $102.16, after the company this morning beat Q1 revenue expectations, and beat by a penny on the bottom line, and affirmed its year outlook, describing the results as "soaring growth."
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 12%, year over year, to €5.285 billion, yielding EPS of 73 Euro cents.
The Street had been modeling €5.08 billion and 72 cents.
SAP said its "cloud and software" revenue rose by 12%, to €4.328 billion.
Sales of cloud computing subscriptions rose by 34% to €905 million, it said.
CEO Bill McDermott noted the centerpiece of the results was the company's sales of "S/4Hana" in-memory database, which signed up 400 customers in the quarter, for a total of over 5,800. Almost half of those new signings were new customers, the company said.

I am a home owner
Residential property makes up 90% of properties in NSW for FESL purposes.
If you own your home (or a property you rent out) and insure the building and contents you will already be paying the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) via your insurance premiums. If you rent your home click here.
From 1 July 2017, the Government will abolish the current insurance-based Emergency Services Levy and replace it with the Fire and Emergency Services Levy (FESL) paid by property owners alongside council rates.
The FESL will be calculated according to two factors depending on the classification of property as residential, farmland, industrial, commercial, vacant or public benefit:
- A fixed charge; and
- A variable charge based on unimproved land value as determined by the NSW Valuer General (visit the 'How much will the FESL cost?' section in our FAQs for a definition of unimproved land value).
The exact levy rates are still being determined and will not be published until 30 April 2017 when property values for July 2016 and the budget for the emergency services agencies for 2017-18 are known.
The cost of an average residential property insurance policy is expected to be around $233 lower than would otherwise be the case as a result of the removal of the Emergency Services Levy (ESL). This will help make insurance more affordable for more people.
The reform will mean the obligation of funding NSW's fire and emergency services will no longer fall only on those with property insurance, but all property owners. It is estimated that the average fully-insured residential property owner will save around $47 per year.
Land meets the requirements for classification as Residential Land for purposes of the FESL if it is classified by a council as residential for purposes of calculating your council rates.
What about vacant residential land?
Vacant residential land will receive a discount. Owners or lessees will be required to make an application to their councils for a sub-classification of 'vacant'.

Since the introduction of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) amendment on 1st July 2016 requiring the certification of gross mass for containers, there has been much uncertainty, especially with regards to the documentation process, level of compliance and the degree of accuracy in the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) information provided. A critical move towards improved safety of the global transportation of containers – successful implementation could significantly reduce asset loss and damage, as well as being a preventative method for injury or fatalities to personnel.
Transport is often seen as an indication of the broader economy. Undoubtedly the container shipping industry has had an unsteady journey over the past 5 years, driving companies to look to more innovative ways to streamline operational costs, provide higher value services and increase overall productivity. Shipping lines in particular are searching for ways to reduce costs by optimising and automating their business processes.
Intermodal Europe will partner with the Container Traders and Innovators Association (CTIA): a new organization representing the interests of container traders and innovators worldwide. The CTIA will launch in January 2017 as a new organization for companies involved in container re-sale, conversion and innovation.

A saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, or likeness to God. While the English term "saint" originated in Christianity, historians of religion now use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special holiness that many religions attribute to certain people," with the Jewish Tzadik, the Islamic Mu'min, the Hindu rishi or Sikh guru, and the Buddhist arhat or bodhisattva also being referred to as "saints". Depending on the religion, saints are recognized either by official ecclesiastical declaration/denomination or by popular acclamation (see folk saints).
In Christianity, "saint" has a wide variety of meanings, depending on the context and denomination. The original Christian denotation was any believer who is "in Christ" and in whom Christ dwells, whether in Heaven or on earth. In Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor, emulation, or veneration, with official ecclesiastical recognition given to some saints by canonization or glorification.
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. The NFL's 17-week regular season runs from the week after Labor Day to the week after Christmas, with each team playing sixteen games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.
The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1923 season. The NFL agreed to merge with the American Football League (AFL) in 1966, and the first Super Bowl was held at the end of that season; the merger was completed in 1970. Today, the NFL has the highest average attendance (67,591) of any professional sports league in the world and is the most popular sports league in the United States. The Super Bowl is among the biggest club sporting events in the world and individual Super Bowl games account for many of the most watched television programs in American history, all occupying the Nielsen's Top 5 tally of the all-time most watched U.S. television broadcasts by 2015. The NFL's executive officer is the commissioner, who has broad authority in governing the league.
New Orleans (/nuː ˈɔːrlɪnz/,/nuː ˈɔːrliənz/, /nuː ɔːrˈliːnz/, or /ˈnɔːrlənz/; French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuvɛlɔʁleɑ̃]) is a major United States port and the largest city and the center of the metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The population of the city was 343,829 as of the 2010 U.S. Census. The New Orleans metropolitan area (New Orleans–Metairie–Kenner Metropolitan Statistical Area) had a population of 1,167,764 in 2010 and was the 46th largest in the United States. The New Orleans–Metairie–Bogalusa Combined Statistical Area, a larger trading area, had a 2010 population of 1,452,502.
The city is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723, as it was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their European culture. It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" in the United States.
The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They are currently members of the South division of the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The team was founded by John W. Mecom, Jr. and David Dixon and the city of New Orleans. The Saints began play at Tulane Stadium in 1967.
The name "Saints" is an allusion to November 1 being All Saints Day in the Catholic faith, New Orleans' large Catholic population, and the spiritual "When the Saints Go Marching In", which is strongly associated with New Orleans and often sung by fans at games. The team's primary colors are old gold and black; their logo is a simplified fleur-de-lis. They played their home games in Tulane Stadium through the 1974 NFL season. The following year, they moved to the new Louisiana Superdome (now the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, since Mercedes-Benz has purchased the stadium's naming rights).
For most of their first 20 years, the Saints were barely competitive, only getting to .500 twice. In 1987, they finished 12–3 (their first-ever winning season) and qualified for the NFL playoffs for the first time in franchise history, but lost to the Minnesota Vikings 44–10. The next season of 1988 would end with a 10–6 record. In the year 2000, the Saints defeated the St. Louis Rams 31–28 to notch their first-ever playoff win.
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional football in the United States. The game culminates a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7, 2016, following the 2015 regular season.
The game was created as part of a merger agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). It was agreed that the two leagues' champion teams would play in the AFL–NFL World Championship Game until the merger was to officially begin in 1970. After the merger, each league was redesignated as a "conference", and the game has since been played between the conference champions to determine the NFL's league champion. Currently, the National Football Conference (NFC) leads the league with 26 wins to 23 wins for the American Football Conference (AFC). The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories with six.

You're rundown etc etc...
Call up you managers & your friends
no one wants to see you
but they pretend
You're such a star
& we all live for you
Night time can't bear to be alone
so find yourself a crowd until the dawn
fame is nothing new for you
but the good old days are through

Leadership Courses Auckland, Wellington, New Zealand & Fiji
View our range of leadership and management training courses and workshops available in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Napier-Hastings, Tauranga, Dunedin, Palmerston North, Nelson, Rotorua, New Plymouth, Whangarei, Invercargill, Whanganui & Gisborne.
We all have an idea of what leadership is. We easily recognise it when we see it. We see leadership when a civil rights advocate stands up for something greater than themselves. When our favourite sports team comes from behind to win the match we see leadership in action. When a teacher ignites our passion in a subject or when you have a Manager who trusts and believes in you we see leadership.
People recognise leadership but people don't necessarily understand leadership.
A recent study of New Zealand businesses found that one in four employees rate their immediate supervisor as a poor leader. The inability to create a work environment that inspires and motives people is costing companies significant amounts of money in lost productivity. A study by the United States Bureau of Economic Research stated that employees that report to someone who they consider a poor leader is a minimum of 10% less productive than an employee who reports to a good leader.
What return do you want on your investment?
When businesses invest money a usual return of 10-20% is considered good. If you invest in a leadership workshop for your Managers you will be looking to see a full return on your investment within a month. Investing in a leadership workshop is no longer a "nice to have" option. Leadership development is now an essential business investment.
Better leaders = more motivated employees = more productive employees = higher profits
On successful completion off any one of our highly valued courses you will be awarded a Certification Of Completion and will be entitled to an additional individual leadership coaching session as part of our follow up commitments.
In-house versions of these workshops are available seven days a week. Contact us to obtain a quote.

Maybe I'm getting partial amnesia, but who is Clayton?

The guy who killed Kylie in the street.
- 12 April 2017 at 15:19
- Linda Shockley said...
Ah yes, thank you!
- 12 April 2017 at 16:24
I thought Clayton was Macca's brother, Shona is surely way too young to be his mother.
- 12 April 2017 at 17:02
- Maricha said...
Well, I think Clayton could have been ( or was?) judged as a juvenile and if Shona was groomed and used by Nathan she might have had a baby as a very young girl.
Strictly speaking does Sarah look old enough to be Bethany's mom? Yet she is because she had a child when she was still a child herself.
- 12 April 2017 at 17:44
Maybe Clayton & Macca had different mothers.
- 12 April 2017 at 17:45
- Newfy Pearl said...
No way is she Clayton's mom....too coincidental for her and Sarah to be both 13 year old mothers.
I am so looking forward to the reveal! And I love how she and Gail seem to have bonded. I think if she is helpful in Bethany's situation it will cement her with the clan.....she is obviously meant for David.
- 13 April 2017 at 00:08
I think she's Clayton's aunt. We might find that Clayton's mother was/is estranged from her family and her sister, Shona, having read about Clayton's death, came looking for her.

Actually, I'm Anonymous at 11.52. How did that happen? I didn't even press 'publish'.
- 13 April 2017 at 11:54
Shona's got history with Nathan too - remember the scene in Roy's, where she very obviously detests him?
There's something going on there, but there's also obviously some link to Kylie as well, since Gemma remembers her.

Unexpected Proofs: Know The Alcohol Content In Your Next Cocktail.
After a hard day's activities, there's nothing like kicking back with a cocktail to help you relax. These colorful alcoholic beverages can "take the edge off' and a look at the contents of your drink can explain why. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a "standard" drink in the U.S. is regarded as any beverage containing about 6 ounces or 14 grams of "pure" alcohol. So, it stands to reason that the more pure alcohol in a drink, the more you will feel its effects. Content matters Read More »
5 Signs That Your First Aid Course Is Of No Use.
The number of employers that want to hire people who have prior first aid training has more than doubled in the past three years. Today, more Australian employers want to hire people who have undergone a first aid course mainly because it helps to ensure that their workplace has an added layer of safety. However, the emphasis on first aid training varies with the nature of job and industry, for instance, people who know first aid are preferred as construction site supervisors as opposed to chartered accountants. This has mainly led to many people seeking first aid course certificates but the drawback of this push being that 60% of people who have done a course walk out with no lifesaving knowledge. Below we look at five things that should help you spot a shady first aid course. Read More »

Wellness Tips
"The School of Yoga Vidhya arranged my four-day stay in Kerala for a yoga retreat. Jiju was very communicative before I arrived, answering any questions I had and sending me a full itinerary before my stay. When I arrived, Jiju was there and was very accommodating. He made sure everything was taken care of for me and planned excursions around the area. I recommend School of Yoga Vidhya for any first time yoga retreats or visitors to Kerala."

"I was looking for a retreat vacation in India stumbled upon school of yoga vidhya online. I mailed them for the details and I was surprised to see a quick response. The experience has been amazing. The hospitality and the stay were very satisfactory. I loved the peace and feel completely rejuvenated. A perfect place to be, if you are looking for a retreat."
BookYogaRetreats.com website, edited
"This was my first trip to India. Been to Delhi, Bangalore and also Trivandrum where I took this rejuvenation and yoga package. I like the environment. I like the teaching of peace. I like the yoga. Very great people and support."
BookYogaRetreats.com website, edited
"I was under depression and worry. My doctor advised me to practice yoga and meditation. Perfect time for me to take a vacation and come to India to school of yoga vidya . The breathing exercises, the calm surroundings, the wonderful yoga has made me clear of thoughts. Although I am not completely recovered, I can go back to Paris with a better mind and body. missing this place already. Definitely a place to visit more often."
BookYogaRetreats.com website, edited
"What I can say is that during his retreat I could improve a lot my self practice in yoga, meditation and pranayamas; and I really appreciate that everyday, even now that I'm back to my daily life. This retreat was fulfilling also because of the very communicative enthusiasm of Jiju the yoga master. Plus, it was really conducive to do a very short break in the middle of my 2-weeks retreat to go to the deep forest, not so far from the hotel. I could add that the accomodation was perfect for the retreat (both room and meals) especcially during low-season: it was quiet and the staff was very kind."
BookYogaRetreats.com website, edited
"About organizer: I have chosen the yoga retreat on my own, never seen any reviews or seek any advice from anybody and it turn out really wonderful. Of course I was impressed by the package they offered me! Magically, I was meeting all nice people here, who believe in giving more than offered. "
"Place: It's a beach hotel! When I arrived at my room I could hear the sea-waves, I was feeling so near as if I am on beach; however, as it was night, I wasn't able to see anything further. I stayed in the balcony for a while, just looking at the sky and some stars around, amazing breeze, was just enjoying my own company. Watching performance of nature, stars were shining so brightly, sea-waves were as if dancing on some melodious rhythm on awesome windy chorus, nice breezy romantic aura surrounded me allover. Awesome starting. Woke up early morning around 5:30 and opened my balcony door and this was miracle... what a beautiful view, I was standing in front of wide seashore unbelievable, I was like "is it true or a dream?" For around 10 minutes I was just watching the wide view of the sea and seashore and then I realized I should get ready and roam on beach, so rushed to my shower and just step out and I was right there on the beach. Roamed all around, from the right corner to left corner, while coming back, I saw some fishermen were catching fish and lots of tourists were pretending as if they are among them , so they were enjoying to pull those heavy ropes with them, haha, laughing , giggling all over. I watched for around 20 minutes, lots of people came and left, one after another, some of them were there till end, I clicked plenty of pictures, also recorded one small video. The fishermen were singing some nice song in beautiful rhythm, wow everything was so original and amazing! I also wanted to experience the same, so i joined them and what a fun it was! I also sat silently for 20 minutes and enjoyed every bit of it. Food- (mostly fruit-) sellers and toy-sellers were roaming all over the beach, coconut water is common in all corners of Kovalam, as well as bananas (I enjoyed especially the brownish big bananas). Tourists are mostly foreigners and some locals on weekends, also met some Indian families and groups."
"Shopping: Nearby shops are mostly selling beach-ware, different patterns of elephant show pieces, handicrafts, precious stones and studded traditional jewelries. "
"Yoga Program: My yoga guru Mr. Jiju is an amazing human being and yogi. He has been to the Himalayas to study the authentic yoga, experienced and gained the highest wisdom from all great yogic gurus. It's amazing to receive all insights and wisdom from him, so here again, it's not only yoga postures and meditation techniques, one can also learn ancient dhyagna (wisdom). He shares different experiences which make you realize many new things about life, sometimes you feel like as if a whole new life is unfolding in front of you. Interacting with him was always my best memorable moments. We had nice question-answer session, where I cleared most of my doubts. You will feel as if you were in safe hands. He says "only way out is way inward and listen and believe in yourself"."
"Food: I imagined it may be tasteless food, but again I was wrong here, very tasty delicious and still healthy food. Every dish I ordered has amazing taste. This menu is prepared by the founder, who is a highly-qualified ayurvedic practitioner, who started his practice some years back and then, at some point in time, he thought of giving full package to his guests. Every menu is designed by him and prepared by expert chef. It was interesting to interact with some foreigners as most of them were pure non-vegetarian, and here they ate only delicious vegetarian food. My favorites were cauliflower kurma made in coconut milk, fruit rice, veg biryani (with minimum and essential spices), banana thoran, inf act I liked everything, so yummy and mouth watering. "
"Ayurvedic Massage: Here again, a pleasant surprise when I did my first full body massage therapy, the therapist was very well-prepared. She is trained in proper medical college in Trivandrum (Kovalam), and most of all, she enjoys working here. I have also taken Shirodhara therapy, where a lukewarm ayurvedic oil is falling on your forehead for 40 to 45 minutes rotates from right to left, i was feeling like so stress-free and relaxed , slept for a while and when I opened my eyes I was feeling so fresh, as if if every part of my body is renewed and tension-free. It affects your whole body, very powerful treatment!"
"Excursions: Here, I can say I felt like I was a princess. First of all, they accompanied me everywhere, to make sure everything goes well, as I was alone. Otherwise, they normally organize cab with driver and that's it and you will be on your own, of course, in order to respect your privacy. So that day, he was my guide and my photographer, as well, haha, kidding, he is an awesome person to travel with. I was taken to the best places, because of his wide and nice network... he knows every corner and all people so well. My two day excursions were really great. My tour to elephants rehabilitation center, lion safari, crocodile park, and deer park were absolutely memorable and the amazing part was, I was traveling everywhere in fairy. "
"So this is again part of yoga, nature walk and being close to nature. They can, also, organize for a forest-stay, where you can be accommodated in well-built cottages. There, one can be close to nature and do yoga and mediate, for long. Next day, I had a magical travel in between huge coconut, banana and mango trees. "
"Watching different birds with awesome colors was an amazing experience. And having coconut water, in between the regular water was really amazing. I have seen huge floating restaurants, as well as some comfortable and luxurious cottages near water. Yes! I like hospitality everywhere I go, and here, they make you feel you are special."
"Restaurants: Hey, very interesting (maybe everyone is aware of this, but I would still like to share), most of the restaurants have big display-area, mainly at the entrance, so one may select the fish (raw) of his choice and they prepare it for you. This is common scenario in the evening, otherwise hotel guys show you the raw fishes they have and then, you have to decide which you wish to have. "
"Languages: Mostly English and of course, everybody knows Hindi. Even the small seller on beach know English very well and I observed well-behaved people all around."
"Comments: On my last day, I was feeling bad to return back home! My stay was really remarkable and pleasant."
"Message: I am really thankful to all of you for making my stay so, so wonderful, amazing, awesome and memorable!"
School of Yoga Vidhya's website, edited
"The School of Yoga Vidhya (which means correct knowledge or clarity) is a place of immense learning and personal development. Whilst not a traditional school in one location/building, the power of Jiju's guidance and instruction transcends the physical space you occupy. We were fortunate enough to stay at both the outer forest and beachfront locations. The blend of two entirely different atmospheres provided an excellent backdrop to five days of yoga enhancement and powerful meditation. Jiju is an excellent yogi and spiritual guide, who understands the struggles we face in a modern Western society. His program has been carefully created to provide some incredible opportunities to enhance your yoga journey, and to enhance your individual ability to reach inner peace and clarity through meditation. The outer forest location in Kerala has some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen, and Jiju knows the very best places to take you for practice. If you are looking to learn in an authentic Indian yogic environment, where you can be taught non-judgmentally, by an expert, then the School of Yoga Vidhya is a wonderful place to go. I will certainly be back to continue my journey. Thank you, Jiju."

On top of that, he could receive as much as four times his salary in share options, although details have yet to be finalised.
Mr Rose made as much as £25 million when he sold Arcadia, his Top Shop, Burton and Miss Selfridge business just over a year ago. He will be spearheading the M&S defence against a £10 billion bid from Bhs billionaire
Philip Green after the dramatic ousting of M&S chief executive Roger Holmes last night.
The City is now preparing for what looks set to be one of the fiercest takeover battles in years.
M&S's hopes of fighting off the approach from Monaco-based Mr Green looked slim before Mr Rose was parachuted in yesterday. Now, the City is agreed, he will have a battle on his hands.
The two men know each other well - Mr Rose was head of Arcadia when Mr Green bought the business just over a year ago.
Although they are not close friends, Mr Rose was a guest at Mr Green's ? 5 million toga party to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Mr Green, who is expected to table his near-?10billion bid sometime this week, took the news of Mr Rose's appointment in his stride. He joked: "I'm sending him (Rose) my headhunter's bill. I think I got him the job."
Mr Holmes is in line for a pay-off of £600,000 while chairman Luc Vendevelde is set to receive around £450,000.
Vittorio Radice, the flamboyant former Selfridges boss, could be the next casualty in the battle for control of M&S. His new venture,
the costly homewares shop, Lifestore, has not been a success and he is also in charge of the ailing clothing operations.
"Rose will want to be running all that himself, I can't see Radice lasting long," said one retail analyst. However, Mr Rose insisted today that he had "no preconceived ideas" and would be talking to Mr Radice in the next few days.
Shares in M&S jumped 6.25p to
365.75p today. Any bid would have to put the share price above ?4 to have a chance of success, analysts said.
Mr Rose, who started his retailing career as an M&S management trainee in 1972, said he wanted to restore its reputation for "good quality-good value, good service and innovation". He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that while M&S had "not been on the high ground" for a few years, it was "a fundamentally very sound business".
Describing Mr Green as "a great guy and a very good retailer", he said no offer had been made yet. But Mr Rose added: "I believe we can very quickly execute some things and bring the business back to the high ground."

50 years of the finest youth football
Formerly the West Surrey Boys League (WSBL), the League was formed in 1966 when a group of local football enthusiast got together to form a league for local teams to play in. Originally the league was based in the Woking area, but soon expanded to include teams from Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Middlesex, Berks and Bucks and the London FA.

The facility is owned by the group and offers almost unlimited power and space, with a 100% uptime record and ISO 27001 certification. Our diverse dark fibre network offers sub 0.4ms of latency to Telehouse North, so we can offer inner London connectivity but with all of the benefits of being in a safer, less expensive outer London site.
Our entire award winning infrastructure has been designed to give robust, efficient solutions to business continuity. ISO 27001 certification, almost unlimited power and space, world leading efficiency and sub 0.4ms connectivity to the heart of Docklands are just some of the reasons for Custodians' growing strength in the data centre market. In addition to our existing data floors, a new 260 rack facility is currently under construction and will be available from June 2016. Capacity for a further 1000 racks is available within the building.
Custodian's flagship site is just 30 minutes south east of London in Maidstone, Kent. Clients include the NHS, a number of Local Authorities, Universities, Silver Circle Law Firms and a wide range of SME's.
Following continued expansion, Custodian have developed a new approach to data centre provision. Rather than build large data floors, our new development is presented as a series of data rooms with between 18 and 24 racks. These rooms contain just two rows of racks with a single cold aisle and two hot aisles. The many advantages to this include:
Whether the room is let to one client or a number of colocation clients, access to it will be limited to them only.
As it is unaffected by other rows of racks and their temperatures/airflows, the room is easier to control at its optimum environmental level.
A fire threat in any individual room can be dealt with by the Argonite suppression system without affecting other rooms.
Apart from the option of taking an entire room, we are able to cage off a number of racks at one end of the room. As no rack footprints are lost, this is a very inexpensive solution for a private secure area.
All specifications have been developed to provide future proof resilience; and to give us the option to be totally flexible for our client's needs. All of the built-in advantages of our campus site such as power availability, building management systems, connectivity and security have been combined with the most advanced proven technology.
Custodian are winners of the Green Data Centre award and are the only colocation facility in the world to show its efficiency live online.

The author declares that no competing interests exist.
Compliance with HIV treatment is affected by many issues and social factors are as important as biological ones.
The survival of people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS dramatically improves with access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Such therapy employs a combination of antiretroviral agents—protease inhibitors (PIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and fusion inhibitors—to suppress viral replication, and, thus, reduces the likelihood of developing HIV mutations that could lead to the development of drug-resistant viral strains. HAART also prevents further viral destruction of the cellular immune system, thereby, allowing for increases in the level of CD4+ cells, which improves the immunologic response to opportunistic infections.
(Photo: Arachu Castro)
However, suboptimal treatment adherence has been associated with virologic, immunologic, and clinical failure. In this essay, I look critically at the issue of adherence, and argue that, to address causes of incomplete adherence, we need to combine both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. These methodologies must be grounded in an understanding of adherence as a biological and social process that changes with time, and must be framed within an analysis of access to health care and medications.
A consensus exists that in order to achieve an undetectable viral load and prevent the development of drug resistance, a person on HAART needs to take at least 95% of the prescribed doses on time [
Given the relevance of treatment adherence to improving life expectancy and preventing the spread of drug-resistant strains, many studies have attempted to predict causes of nonadherence in order to design strategies that reduce the number of missed doses. Except for some factors that have been associated with incomplete adherence in various settings, such as depression [
Despite the current shortcomings in predicting who is more likely to miss doses of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the issue of adherence has become extremely important when setting priorities for allocating resources to fight AIDS in poor countries, where the majority of people who are HIV positive live. Some commentators have argued that adherence barriers are insurmountable in poor settings, so we should be cautious in delivering ART to these populations—a claim that is not grounded in evidence. In fact, adherence in poor settings is proving to be equal to, or even higher than, adherence in developed countries [
A biosocial approach to adherence relies on the dynamic analysis of the clinical and social course of disease and the continuous interaction of biological and social processes over time [
Years ago, before the advent of AIDS, anthropologists had noted that the introduction of effective therapy for a particular disease may profoundly alter the social interpretations of that disease [
Within the changing context in which disease may take place, adherence level is likely to change as biological and social circumstances, and interpretations of them, unfold. In Brazil, a boy and a girl living in a support house for children and adolescents orphaned by AIDS or living with HIV explained why, upon feeling well, they had started to delay the morning dose of antiretrovirals until the afternoon: "[The schedule] doesn't matter; you can take them any time, as long as you take them" [
By any account, these children would be classified as having incomplete adherence or, plainly, as nonadherent. Yet to improve their adherence, how helpful is it to know that they are not taking all their medications on time without understanding why? Could their nonadherence really be understood without analyzing the life trajectories of these children and their social context? Some studies approaching ART adherence within a dynamic framework have relied on a biosocial approach, providing a rich context in which taking medications occurs and evolves [
The study of life histories of patients—a standard qualitative method of ethnographic research—and of the interactions of social experience with illness episodes allows us to generate associations between the clinical and the social course of disease, including such themes as stigma, health-seeking behavior, or adherence to therapy. These associations, which are often drawn from a small sample of patients, can be validated by larger, statistically representative, epidemiological studies designed to include variables reflecting the social context of patients. For example, the effect of adipose tissue alterations (lipodystrophy)—a common side effect of PIs—on adherence to ART has often been studied without considering local patterns of ideal weight and body shape for women and men at different ages, and existing variations of these ideals related to the social position of patients. This lack of consideration for local patterns may explain why some studies arrive at opposite results—dystrophic weight gain as a barrier to or as an enhancer of adherence [
Most research studies on adherence to ART share the basic understanding that patients are adherent when they, after agreeing to the recommendations of a health-care provider [
Partly because the introduction of ART in poor settings is recent, and partly because biomedical research rarely examines the social context in which patients live, there is a dearth of information on the direct effect of poverty on ART adherence. Most studies conducted in poor settings overlook how direct and indirect economic burdens borne by patients affect their ability to access a steady supply of antiretrovirals and take them on time. Such burdens may include the cost of missing work, the cost of elder or child care during medical visits, the cost of transportation to a health center, the cost of user fees, or the cost of tests and supplies. Although these costs may seem minimal to health professionals and decision makers, bearing these costs often translates into difficult household decisions about who eats, who works, or who goes to school. Taking medications in a timely manner may also require the challenging tasks of obtaining food and safe water, or of readjusting food intake to fit the drug-regimen schedule.
Despite the difficulties in overcoming these obstacles, the inability of a person living in poverty to obtain and take medications after initiating therapy is often labeled "noncompliance" or "nonadherence"—as has often occurred with tuberculosis patients [
As adequate and equitable access to comprehensive AIDS prevention and care are introduced, optimal adherence could be achieved if the multiple causes that shape patients' adherence are analyzed within their social context—including those related to the financing of health-care systems, and particularly cost-recovery mechanisms.
The use of a biosocial framework grounded in the lived experience of people diagnosed with AIDS is essential to understanding adherence, the way adherence changes over time, and the reasons for nonadherence. Often times, particularly in poor settings, these reasons will be found outside the individual responsibility of patients. Addressing adherence may require providing social support to patients, lowering or eliminating user fees, bringing health-care workers closer to patients, opening health centers focused on patients' competing demands to survive, improving drug procurement strategies, or creating mechanisms for lowering the cost of drugs and lab tests. In many cases it will mean improving and investing in primary health care, public hospitals, and referral networks, or in incentives to recruit and retain health-care workers committed to serving their patients. Given this complexity, the possibility of advancing the understanding of the multifaceted causes of nonadherence needs to be analyzed within its larger social, economic, and political context.
