'The Sedated Society: The Causes and Harms of our Psychiatric Prescribing Epidemic' (Palgrave Macmillan 2017).
Edited by Dr James Davies (co-founder of Council for Evidence-Based Psychiatry in UK), the book contains chapter contributions from a team of global experts, including Joanna Moncrieff, Peter Kinderman, Peter Breggin, Sami Timimi, Peter Gøtzsche and Robert Whitaker.
Over 15% of the UK and 20% of the US adult population take a psychiatric medication on any given day, and the numbers are only set to increase. When these figures are set against data exposing the poor outcomes and harms these medications often cause, it becomes apparent that their commercial success is not due to their therapeutic efficacy.
The book reveals how pharmaceutical sponsorship and marketing, diagnostic inflation, the manipulation and burying of negative clinical trials, lax medication regulation, and neoliberal public health policies have all been implicated in ever-rising psycho-pharmaceutical consumption. As increasing sedation of society may be leading to a more disabled society, this book closes by calling for total reform.
"'The Sedated Society' is a provocative critique of the over-prescription psychiatric drugs, their minimal effectiveness, and the dangers they pose. The authors are eminent experts and their conclusions are important and troubling. It should be required reading for all medical students."
—Prof Irving Kirsch, Associate Director at the Harvard Medical School

Coming soon to a Capitol skyline near you: Giant blimps at 10,000 feet?
The woman at the helm of the House Administration Committee thinks the Capitol needs eyes in the sky, after authorities failed to detect Florida mailman Douglas Hughes' April 15 gyrocopter flight.
Chairwoman Candice S. Miller, R-Mich., visited U.S. Customs and Border Patrol ground stations along the Southern border in January and was amazed at the clarity of the Tethered Aerostat Radar System, or TARS. She is suggesting the "sophisticated technology" might suit the Capitol. That would mean giant blimps stretching along the Washington, D.C., skyline at around 10,000 feet. Deployed by federal law enforcement, the aerostats contain 2,000-pound radars in their bellies, capable of detecting aircraft at a range of 200 miles.
"They're going to be using drones to deliver your taco here pretty soon," Miller said during a May 20 hearing featuring Capitol Police Chief Kim C. Dine. She suggested the department might be able to get "surplus stuff" from the Department of Defense. "I mean, this is what's coming, so how can you be able to assess using technology that's available, as quickly as you can?"
Other lawmakers take the suggestion of jumbo aeronautic balloons seriously, pointing to Hughes' flight as justification for investing more money into surveillance of Washington's skies. Both Republicans and Democrats have been "very clear" to federal law enforcement authorities that they want "anybody who has anything to do with airspace to avail themselves to the most sophisticated technology," said Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
"We're going to hold their feet to the fire. I think they are doing the best they can, but I think what this has shown is it shows you where you're vulnerable," Cummings continued. "There are always copycats."
Hughes will be back in D.C. court on June 22, facing two felony charges and four misdemeanors. He told reporters last week he believes if his flight exposed any security risks, they have been fixed.
"Nobody else could do what I did and get away [with it] without, at best, being forced down, [and] at worst, being shot down, and I highly recommend nobody try it," he said outside the courthouse last week, after being charged.
Cummings said if Congress does not "take advantage of seeing what our problems may be and filling those holes, then shame on us." He urged "urgency."
Giant white radar-equipped airships already monitor the sky near Baltimore. The blimps, launched in December, cover a 340-mile range stretching south to North Carolina and north to the suburbs of Boston. It seems Congress might be willing to cough up the funds for similar technology more central to the Capitol. The House recently approved $369 million for the Capitol Police Department's fiscal 2016 budget.
Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., who serves as vice chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that controls Capitol Police funding, told CQ Roll Call "eyes above the sky" would "be received with an open mind."
"It will just be a matter of time before somebody's got a drone flying around here," Amodei said. "What are you going to do with drones to make your stuff more effective, more efficient? It's present technology so we probably need to start figuring out how you're going to use it and defend against it."
Miller's logic is similar. "Drones are just an exploding technology," she said in a follow-up interview, citing Amazon's proposed delivery service, as well as agricultural drones. "You're not putting the toothpaste back in the tube — it's coming. So, for all the good things that they can do, there's also a security risk."
As for the aesthetics of adding big, white blimps to one of the world's most iconic skylines, Miller suggested there are some types that would fly at higher elevations and be less visible.
"They're not huge blimps," said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., who supports adding more aerial surveillance. "You could do a number of things that are not visually unappealing to our visitors and yet still provide the vehicle to have additional eyes on the Mall."
"For us, it's really about making sure that visual monitors that all our [Department of Homeland Security] has, that we have the proper funding and the proper resources for them to make more strategic decisions — whether it be Capitol Police or DHS or anybody else," said Meadows, who chairs an Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee with jurisdiction over D.C. affairs.
Capitol Police have been looking into the technology, Dine said last week, in response to Miller's question. "We actually had a briefing this morning and we look forward to briefing you in a confidential setting about some of the things that we're looking at," he said. Dine suggested Hughes' flight exposed another "gap" that needs to be closed.
"Once the vehicle is identified, then what do you do about it?" he asked rhetorically. "But clearly the earlier we know about it and the earlier we can identify it, the better we can make decisions about evacuations — which is a big part of how we use our systems now — and whether any use of force either by us, or DOD ... is appropriate. So you're right, early identification is critical."
Those who support Hughes' cause think Congress is overreacting. The dozen or so supporters who turned out to the courthouse last week suggested Hughes is a hero, who had to go to such drastic measures to highlight the need for changing the campaign finance system.
"It wasn't a violent act, for him to put his own life at risk in order to bring attention to something that has been going on for two decades in this country, and just continues to get worse," Sergei Kostin said in an interview after Hughes' brief hearing. Kostin joined CodePink protesters in the rear rows of the courtroom.
"Where was the security risk? What did he do really that was that violent in any way or that made the government that uneasy?" Kostin asked. "It was a little gyrocopter. I don't think that's necessary cause for the alarm that they are bringing attention to. I think that's more a distraction."

Wayne Hemmingway's Classic Car Boot
The Classic Car Boot was Inspired by the Goodwood Vintage festival.
Volkswagen T25: All manner of car boots!
Chevrolet Nomad Station Wagon
Epehmera- including Harry Potter platform sign.
Vintage motorcycles on display.
Classic eateries were offering a range fo food.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta 101 Sprint.
Royal Enfield motorcycle and vintage clothing stand.
Over the past few years the 'Classic Car Boot Sale' has been gathering momentum attracting huge crowds of people with an interest in classic vehicles as well as being a family-friendly celebration of all things vintage, collectible and upcycled. It is the brainchild of Wayne Hemingway MBE the acclaimed fashion designer and the co-founder of fashion house Red or Dead who wanted to showcase timeless designs after running the successful festival 'Vintage at Goodwood'.
Having previously attracted very large crowds on London's Southbank and as a result outgrowing the venue, the event has now moved to the other side of the river just next to Kings Cross Station, an area that is undergoing a vast amount of investment and regeneration. The first of two, two day events this year took place over the weekend of the 16/17th April suffering somewhat from the wintry weather on the Saturday.
Despite masses of advertising and coverage in numerous print and on-line magazines and social media, the content and crowds suffered and apart from a few classic car dealers there were few private vehicles for sale and virtually no motorcycle content in the large covered area despite the promises made of 100 plus vehicles!
Here though could be found members of the Classic Car Club team trying to get people to sign up for membership which allows the use of a whole range of classic cars on a daily basis. Several dealers were offering some restored cars, but there was masses of unused space caused by exhibitors being put off by the inclement weather or having to journey into London.
However, a few hundred yards away in the recently opened new public space, known as Lewis Cubitt Square, there was an enticing array of some of the finest mobile eateries serving street food, coffee, cocktails and craft beer from converted vintage vans and buses and this area was constantly busy.
Live music from spinning vinyl music from the 40s to 80s kept everybody entertained while they browsed vintage clothing and hardware from a bygone era draped over some stunning classic motors owned by the sellers making the entry worthwhile.
Out front by the fountains, a mobile cinema had people queuing to watch period films, while classic buses, taxis and Mini's showed how things used to be on out roads. The event was also linked with BOB (Best of Britannia) – another well-established event that was showcasing the best of British manufacturing and products for people to see while queuing to pay the £5.00 entry fee.
The idea is sound and no doubt the event will continue to grow as people realise they can exhibit and sell to like-minded people and in particular fellow petrol heads while having a good day out. So it is worth keeping an eye on their website for detail of future events, especially if you are London based.

Actress Zarina Wahab, the mother of actor Sooraj Pancholi, has featured in a music video titled 'With Love Maa'. The song, a dedication to motherhood, will be unveiled on Tuesday.
'With Love Maa'. Pic/IANS
The music video is directed by actor Rajith Menon, and Ranjith Unni has composed music for it. Sapthavarna has sung the Hindi version and Shwetha Mohan has crooned the Tamil version.
"It's a dedication to motherhood," Rajith, who will be seen in Sameer Iqbal Patel's upcoming comedy film 'Hotel Beautifool', said in a statement.
Talking about the film, he said: "While dubbing of the film, I enjoyed my scenes a lot and I feel the audience will enjoy it too considering I watched it in a raw stage... The film will create a laugh riot."
The film's director is all praise for Rajith.
"Rajith is a very promising, talented, hard-working guy and has done a great job in the film. I wish him all the luck for his music video as a director," he said.
"Hotel Beautifool", also featuring Johnny Lever, Brijendra Kala, Rohit Khurana and Imam Siddique, is in the post production stage. It will hit the screens on April 1.

So this week, as you all by now probably know, we lost a truly amazing lady.
This one is for you, Miss Taylor. May you rest is peace.
(all images found on Google main image search)
Also, the mysterious, bizarre, tragic and unexpected death of a certain famous German polar bear that I JUST missed seeing the last time I was in Germany, also happened this week. In front of an audience. How terrible and traumatizing would it be to see that beautiful creature drop dead in front of you while on a routine trip to the zoo?
It really made me sad, and I hope at least something was learned by his caretakers, and most of all that his random, heartbreaking death won't be the end of the polar bear legacy and breed conservation program at the Berlin Zoo, and zoos everywhere.
|Have you ever seen anything cuter?! That's Knut as a cub...
|And later as an adult...
What do you think? Is it fitting, or a little too much?
At any rate, both Miss Taylor, and (to a lesser degree OF COURSE) Knut the bear will be missed. <3

Super-liberal Sanders is going to get smoked in the South which is where the next four or so caucuses are going to be held and his only hope are trying to court black people by hitting economy/unequal wealth.

I'm black I'd vote for Sanders... I mean he isn't caught up in money and trying to be a flashy idiot and seems to actually care for everyone individually. Black white rich poor. Whatever. But I would... not quite old enough to vote. But. Sure. Better than Trumps ridiculous ass... I'm guessing your white? Maybe? Would you vote for Bernie or is the stereotype that most Black's are poor and that Bernie is for helping the poor are you asking this question. Its fine. I don't find it racist but I just wonder why is all.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
I'm sorry to say this but black folks who would rather vote for Hillary than for Bernie are complete idiots. Neither Hillary nor Bill have ever done anything for the black community. Sure, they've held a lot of nice speeches and done a good job portraying themselves as supporters of the African American cause but they haven't actually done anything for African Americans. In fact, one could argue that Hillary has done a couple of pretty stupid things that actually hurt the black community.
Bernie Sanders on the other hand has been a civil rights activist for the past 50 years or so. Back in the 60s he walked on the march to Washington with Martin Luther King and all the other African Americans. I mean really, what can you possibly expect more? This guy has been joining black demonstrations for equal rights for decades and now black people vote for Hillary? I don't get that.62|40|0

The Disney credit cards from Chase are popular choices among Disney-going travelers, but is one of the Disney cards a good value for your family to save on your next Disney vacation?
Rewards credit cards can be an incredibly useful tool for saving money on your family's vacations. With a plethora of airline cards, hotel cards, points cards, cash-back cards, and more, choosing the right one requires serious research and a detailed cost-benefit analysis. Credit cards also come with risk and potential for making financial mistakes, so tread carefully.
One of the credit cards many Disney-going families often consider is a Disney card offered by Chase. Disney actually offers two varieties of this card: the no annual fee Disney Rewards Visa and the Disney Premier Visa which has a $49 annual fee. Both cards have an interest rate of 15.99%, so these cards are not for anyone who carries a balance as paying interest would more than cancel out any rewards earned.
If you pay your credit cards in full each month, however, how do you analyze whether the Disney cards are a good fit for you and your family? How do you choose between the two card options?
The three most important features of any credit card (besides the interest rate and fees, of course) are the 1) signup bonus, 2) rewards earned for spending, and 3) incidental perks. Very few credit cards are standouts in all three areas, and the Disney cards are no exception.
Disney Credit Card Signup Bonuses
One of the reasons many families get a rewards credit card is to take advantage of a generous signup bonus. Some airlines and hotel cards offer signup bonuses as large as 50,000-100,000 miles or points.
The Disney Chase cards, in comparison, offer fairly modest signup bonuses. The current public offer for the no-annual fee Rewards card is a $50 statement credit after first purchase. The Chase Disney Premier Visa currently offers a $100 statement credit when you spend $500 on the card in the first three months.
If you have a friend or family member who already has a Disney card, however, check with them before applying for one of the publicly available offers. Disney sometimes sends refer-a-friend codes to current cardholders that give an even better signup offer. Recently, I spotted an offer for the no-annual fee Rewards card that awarded a $200 gift card for signing up and putting $500 in spending on the card. That's much more generous than the public $50 statement credit offer and even beats out the signup bonus on the Premier card!
Even though the signup bonuses for the Chase Disney cards aren't as flashy as some other travel rewards credit cards, that definitely doesn't mean you should rule the Disney cards out.
Earning Rewards with the Chase Disney Cards
Both of the Chase Disney cards earn rewards in the form of Disney Dream Dollars. Disney Dream Dollars can be redeemed by requesting a Disney Reward redemption card from Chase or at Disney parks. These redemption cards work like gift cards that can be spent on most Disney purchases (although not at the non-United States parks).
The no annual fee Disney Rewards Visa earns 1% rewards (1 Disney dollar per $100 spent). The Disney Premier Visa earns 2% rewards at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and most Disney locations as well as 1% everywhere else.
Do you think this means that the Premier card is the right choice? Not so fast. Remember that the Premier card carries a $49 annual fee, meaning that you would need to put $4900 in spending on this card in the 2% categories to break even to make up for the fee. That's a lot of spending for many families, especially if you carry other credit cards with equally good or better rewards that you might use instead.
For this reason, I think the no annual fee version of the Disney card is a better choice between the two.
Other Perks of Disney Credit Cards
The perks of the Disney cards are numerous and are where the cards really provide a lot of value. Discounts and special access can really go a long way to making a Disney-loving family's Disney vacation even better.
At the time of this writing, having either Disney card entitles the holder to the following additional perks:
- 6 months 0% financing on Disney vacations and Disney Vacation Club purchases;
- 10% discounts on purchases over $50 at the Disney Store and at select theme park merchandise locations;
- 10% off select dining;
- $50 Disney Cruise on-board credit;
- Private character meet and greet with free photo at Disneyland and Walt Disney World;
- 15% off select guided tours and spas/salons; and
- Ability to redeem points for a $198 airline statement credit (Premier card only).
Several TravelingMom writers recently got a sneak peek at one of the perks, a private character meet and greet at Epcot in Walt Disney World. For a wait of just a few minutes, cardholders could interact with several characters out of the heat on a much more leisurely time frame.
The card sometimes has other unannounced perks. In the past, cardholders have been able to have early access to free dining promotions at Walt Disney World. Additionally, there are limited time promotions continuously announced, such as a current promotion offering 25% off Disneyland hotels to card members.
The Final Analysis: Should I Get A Disney Credit Card?
So, is the Disney credit card right for you and your family? The answer, of course, depends on what your travel goals are as well as what your spending habits are.
Generally speaking, however, I think that the no annual fee Disney Rewards Visa is a card that would make sense for a lot of families who take an annual Disney vacation. The card doesn't earn great rewards for your everyday spending, but the perks of the card are quite useful and valuable to families who vacation with Disney on a regular basis. I would personally use the card for Disney spending to earn the discounts but I'd put other everyday spending on a different card that earns cash back or other miles and points rewards at higher rates.
The bottom line? A Disney credit card is right for families who don't carry a credit card balance, who visit a Disney destination at least once a year or more, and who like and use Disney-related discounts and perks. In my opinion, the no annual fee Disney Rewards Visa from Chase is the better of the two Disney cards for most families.

Welcome to Tangent Expeditions!
The World's leading operator of mountaineering and ski expeditions to Arctic Greenland!
The Only 'comprehensive' website guide to mountaineering and ski-touring expeditions to Arctic Greenland.
20 years of research, planning, guiding and expertise; unrivalled experience, focus & attention to detail.
Medical Provision
Tangent led expeditions more than 3 hours snowmobile drive from Constable Point airport, or more than 15 minutes helicopter flight, carry a full and comprehensive expedition medical kit including, when practical, IV fluids and injection drugs designed for prolonged expeditions in remote areas where immediate medical help is not available. They include a range of anti-biotics and a full range of standard first aid provisions.
All expedition leaders hold qualifications in First Aid At Work and Mountain First Aid, with many holding more advanced qualifications such as Advanced Medicine For Remote Foreign Travel* and Advanced Life Support. Many of our expeditions also include a qualified doctor, paramedic or nurse. Each expedition will also carry a Mountain First Aid kit. Content details for both the Base Camp Medical kit and Mountain First Aid Kit are available to booked clients on the Client Log In pages of our website (restricted access).
During our expeditions the groups will have access to a Mountain First Aid Kit whilst away from base camp, and the more comprehensive Base Camp Medical Kit when back in base camp. Some of our more extreme winter expeditions or lightweight expeditions will not always carry fluids or injection drugs due to the extreme cold that would freeze most such drugs and render them unusable. If you have any concerns over what drugs may or may not be carried during your expedition, please contact our office prior to booking.
Expedition groups will also carry a satellite telephone to allow round the clock access to the emergency services, insurance companies, Dr Jon Dallimore of Wilderness Medical Training, and medical advice and consultancy provided by your own travel insurance company.
Our expeditions to the Watkins Mountains of east Greenland include flying in direct to a base camp at 2200-2300m above sea level. The peaks climbed in this area range from 2500-3700m and such ascents can cause mild to moderate altitude sickness. Tangent leaders and guides are trained to look out for the onset of such conditions, but if visiting this area we recommend that you make yourself familiar with the signs and symptoms of altitude sickness, along with preventative measures. A good reference source is the Medex website at www.medex.org.uk where a free booklet is available entitled "Travel At High Altitude". It can also be downloaded from the link below.

Two persons need trust to sustain a relationship, especially in marriage. However, there are things that easily undermine this trust and that eventually destroy a relationship. Even where the relationship lingers on, it saps the juice of the relationship and weakens a marriage.
Cheating is definitely one quick, big way to absolutely annihilate a relationship, but as a recent Ask Reddit thread pointed out, there are plenty of other things that are much more potent when it comes to ruining even the strongest of bonds. Some of the worst things that lead to a breakup (that aren't cheating) start out small and indiscernible, and that's what makes them so dangerous.
Lying to and hiding things
Even if you're doing it out of love to protect their feelings, keeping little things from someone you're dating can grow into a big problem and cause trust issues that wreck a relationship. As canada432 wrote, "You should be able to tell your partner pretty much anything. If you're hiding something because it would hurt them, then you probably shouldn't do that thing in the first place."
Withholding affection
Whether affection means being really touchy-feely, asking each other intense questions about meaningful things, or helping each other through obstacles, being absent and unaffectionate can cause the kind of doubts in a relationship that end up being irreparable.
Harbouring quiet resentment
Silent treatment is it! Well, many a couple do deliberately adopt this strategy to press home whatever might be their position. It is a way of saying 'please excuse me; I don't want to have any social link with you'. However, because they necessarily must relate, at least physically, they chose to withdraw any form of vocal communication.
As VoxMeretricis wrote, "by the time resentment is expressed, the damage is already done" to the relationship. It starts out quietly but becomes something big over time, which is what makes it so damaging.
Lack of communication
This doesn't mean not texting all day every day, but failing to talk to each other about things that bother you when they come up, or conveniently leaving out details that you think might cause problems. All that stuff just gets bottled up or revealed eventually, and by the time that happens, it's usually unmanageable.
Stubbornly insisting on certain positions
This is just another way of saying "refusing to compromise." If you like somebody, you should be willing to compromise. Partners who can only handle things if they go a certain way (their way) are basically just in relationships with themselves.
Yes, you may be right and he dead wrong, but stubbornly insisting that your position must hold sway will not help matters. In marriage or a thriving relationship with prospects for marriage, such insistence usually leads to break up and even where it lingers it leaves so much sour taste in the mouth that the couple may not even be willing to touch each other a million miles apart.
Bickering about mundane, daily issues and chores
Sure, the argument you always have about whose turn it is to take the trash out seems like no big deal now, but that's the sort of thing that just becomes a great issue over time, and even worse, becomes ammo for bigger, more serious arguments down the road.
Talking down to a partner is just another way of making yourself bigger or more powerful than them, and a power imbalance is the last thing you want in a lasting, healthy relationship. As messedfrombirth wrote, condescension is worse than cheating because "it makes your self esteem terrible," so even after the relationship ends, you still feel the damage.
Staying in a relationship out of convenience
Whether it's because you don't want to disappoint your families with a breakup, or because you have concert tickets in six months or whatever, staying together just because you feel you should only leads to bitter resentment and an inordinate amount of fighting and heartbreak, when there was a chance you might've been able to remain friendly.
This is tricky because it's often so subtle, and you don't realize you're being manipulated by your partner (or doing the manipulating) until it's way too late. As reallybigleg wrote, "the relationships that have left me 'broken' (both of which I left, by the way, so this isn't a case of heartbreak…) have been through gradual loss of self esteem during the relationship through a process of manipulation by the other partner."
Even without actual cheating, just the suspicion that it's always happening can be much, much worse. Jealousy like the holy book says is rottenness to the bones and it can be truly devastating to have a partner that is not only suspicious of your every move but jealous. It breeds misunderstanding, mistrust, and then wanes the relationship and finally it could easily result to the breakup of the union.
Presenting a false version of yourself at the beginning
This can be as simple and small as pretending to like horror movies when you actually hate them, or as big as saying you're not looking for anything serious when, in fact, you are. It's best to be upfront from the get to, because those little things can become huge reasons to breakup over time.
Staying together because you've become codependent
"You're together because you're codependent and neither of you wants to be single," wrote beaverteeth92. Or in other words, you don't have chemistry anymore, and the only reason you're together is so you don't have to be alone.

Axonal conduction velocity varies according to the level of preceding impulse activity. In unmyelinated axons this typically results in a slowing of conduction velocity and a parallel increase in threshold.

Worth & Company
"The SimpliVity solution has proven to be a great money and time saver for our IT infrastructure. There is nothing hotter in the market currently!"
– Woody Muth, CIO, Worth & Company
Worth & Company, a full-service mechanical contractor, replaced its aging multivendor IT implementation with SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure. The SimpliVity solution helps the firm ensure high performance and reliability for its business-critical applications and data, while eliminating IT expense and complexity.
Business Challange: Infrastructure Modernization and Disaster Recovery
Worth & Company's legacy IT infrastructure was becoming increasingly inefficient, risky and costly to maintain and scale. The company's fractured IT environment included stand-alone HP rack servers, Buffalo external NAS systems and Barracuda data backup appliances.
Implementing new applications or expanding capacity meant individually procuring and provisioning physical servers, NAS devices and backup appliances—a complex, expensive and lengthy proposition that impaired business agility. Administering systems and troubleshooting problems was a time consuming, error-prone process involving multiple devices and management interfaces.
Woody Muth, CIO for Worth & Company, initiated a data center modernization program to improve the agility, performance and economics of the company's IT infrastructure. After evaluating a number of options, Muth selected SimpliVity OmniCube hyperconverged infrastructure as the foundation for the company's next-generation data center.
"SimpliVity provides everything we need including virtual compute, storage and data protection, in a compact, easy-to-manage platform," says Muth. "OmniCube was considerably less expensive and significantly easier to administer than the other solutions we evaluated. The product's built-in data protection capabilities were a major differentiator for us. We also had a lot more confidence in SimpliVity's underlying hardware platform compared to the competitive product."
SimpliVity Solution
SimpliVity OmniCube provides a scalable, modular, 2U building block of x86 resources that offers all the functionality of traditional IT infrastructure—in a single device, with a unified administrative interface. "By avoiding physical servers, storage devices and backup appliances the SimpliVity solution has helped us save about $250,000 in CAPEX as we've scaled out our environment and rolled out new applications," explains Muth.
Worth implemented a geographically distributed OmniCube configuration for ultimate data protection and resiliency. The firm replaced three equipment racks of legacy gear with three 2U SimpliVity OmniCube CN-3000 nodes in its Pennsylvania data center. The redundant configuration ensures continuous availability in the event of hardware failures or application mishaps. Three additional OmniCubes are deployed in a separate data center in Delaware for disaster recovery.
SimpliVity's ultra-efficient data backup and recovery capabilities help safeguard business-critical applications and IT services. "When our production systems were hit with the CryptoWall virus we were able to restore all of our critical applications to a known working state within a matter of hours, minimizing the impact on the business," explains Muth. "With our previous implementation some of our apps would have been out of commission for days."
SimpliVity's VM-centric administration dramatically simplifies operations, freeing up IT staff for innovation. A single system administrator oversees the entire operation using the familiar VMware vCenter console. "With SimpliVity we can spin up new application environments in just minutes to better respond to the needs of the business," says Muth. With our old implementation it would take days or even weeks to rack, stack and configure equipment."
Key Benefits Include:
- Efficient data protection for 600 end-users and 56 VMs across two sites
- Superior TCO including $250,000 in ongoing CAPEX avoidance
- Simplified administration — single IT manager, Bruce Lusher, oversees entire deployment, freeing up staff for innovation
- Improved availability for business-critical apps — zero SimpliVity downtime since inception
- Increased IT service agility — spin up new operating environments for DevOps in minutes
- Significant OPEX and space savings — three equipment racks consolidated into three 2U nodes
- Improved application performance by approximately 50%
- Lower storage costs — 22:1 data efficiency

I was a former police officer. I resigned from the department and found myself on the other side of the law. I was arrested and am now serving my time. I have been told on many occasions I am not eligible for many of the same treatment because I am high profile because of who I was as a police officer and case too political.

The law prohibits different treatment if it is based on your race gender, age, religion, etc. Prior employment as a law enforcement officer is not a protected category and it is not unlawful to treat you differently based on that classification. In many circumstances different treatment will be necessary for your own safety or that of others.
Another way to conceptualize the issue is that the law requires equal treatment for persons similarly situated. As a former law enforcement officer, you are not similarly situated to other incarcerated persons, so different treatment on that basis is not constitutionally impermissible.

Royal Court Theatre Bar and Kitchen
Refurbishment of undercroft bar and kitchen to provide improved circulation and layout, new bar, intimate dining areas and flexible informal seating/performance area. The bar and kitchen in the historic Royal Court Theatre, Slone Square has been carefully redesigned by Lyndon Goode Architects with Citizens Design Bureau to create a contemporary space that complements the existing building.
The Grade II-listed Royal Court Theatre is an oasis of radicalism in Kensington. The project involved refurbishment of the much loved atmospheric undercroft bar designed by Haworth Tompkins in 2000.
During the evening it felt over congested, whilst daytime use dwindled. The space has been re-planned to address these issues, relocating the bar to the centre of the room, creating subtle spatial subdivisions.
Nooks and booths add a diversity of spaces suitable for day and evening use, whilst the warmly lit 'ladies room' draws the audience through to an intimate library at the rear.
By re-purposing a familiar palette of materials, the Royal Court's distinctive personality is retained: re-used slate from the original bar forms benches; filigree screens reference existing metalwork whilst mirrors capture fragments of the Royal Court sign on descending the stairs.
Lyndon Goode Architects:
The Royal Court Theatre, located opposite London's King's Road, is Britain's leading national company dedicated to new work by innovative writers from the UK and around the world. The theatre's pivotal role in promoting new voices is undisputed – the New York Times described it as 'the most important theatre in Europe'.
After successfully helping the Theatre to obtain Arts Council funding for a whole-building services replacement, the team was selected to design new front of house facilities – including a restaurant and bar. Despite being located adjacent to Sloane Square underground station the existing facilities were poorly used during the daytime. Conversely, during evening performances, long queues were common, especially at interval times.
To address these issues, a radical replanning of the undercroft space was proposed, relocating the bar from the edge of the room to the centre, and including zones of perimeter accommodation to suit the different customer and audience demands. Phasing and timing of the work was critical, as were costs, for which the team worked closely with the Theatre (a charity) and quantity surveyor to make sure that budgets were not exceeded.
Design Approach:
After speaking with a number of playwrights and actors to understand their perception of the front of house spaces, the team looked at various options for the layout of the primary spaces, including the location of the main bar. Relocating this to the centre of the space created a clear circulation route – helping with peak drinking times – but also encouraged customers to enter into the depth of the room, rather than standing uncomfortably at the edge.
Shaped in a 'horseshoe' configuration, the bar helps to define other zones around the room, including for informal seating, dining, resting and working. A reading room at the very back of the space helps to draw visitors through and encourages longer periods of stay, with laptop points and task lighting designed into the bespoke joinery. In combination, the design promotes a 'democratic' use, in-keeping with the dialogue that the Theatre wishes to encourage.
Materials and detailed was carefully developed to complement the existing building, while having its own contemporary identity. The furniture is designed to be worn into, to look better in five years than it does on day one. Where possible, materials were salvaged and reused, including the old slate bar top used to make benches. And to ensure a personality that is particular to the Royal Court, all joinery is unique, from the custom-made pendant lights, to the filigree screens behind booths.
Lyndon Goode Architects with Citizens Design Bureau developed the design, managed the statutory process (including obtaining listed building consent), and produced detailed tender information for the project. All completed in an exceptionally short time period – the first presentation to the Theatre's team in March, start on site was in August, all was complete in September.
Of the project, Dominic Cavendish, theatre critic at the Daily Telegraph newspaper, said "Revamped bar downstairs is well nice".

Seems like Yahoo! is on a shopping marathon. As you know, Tumblr is already under the belt of Yahoo!, followed by Bignogging Productions (a mobile app developer) and as of July 2, Qwiki has joined the American internet corporation. According to Yahoo!'s CEO, Marissa Mayer, the company is trying to consolidate its offerings, forming a strong base of mobile-focused applications – that and adding some fresh talent to the team.
Fresh talent is what she gets. Qwiki, created by Doug Imbruce and Louis Monier, is an app that turns pictures and videos from your iPhone to movies. If the Louis Monier doesn't ring any bells, then let us present you to the founder of the AltaVista search site. Qwiki is widely supported by people like the co-founder of Facebook Eduardo Saverin, and since day one of the app's release, it has raised more than $10 million from a wide variety of investors.
As reported by the sources, Yahoo! paid $50 million for Qwiki. "We will continue to support the Qwiki app, and the team will join Yahoo! in our New York city office to reimagine Yahoo!'s storytelling experience," said Yahoo in a blog post. Here's a video made with Qwiki about the merge:

Reacting to announcement of Nalgonda Congress leaders MP Gutha Sukhender Reddy, former MP G. Vivek and his brother Vinod that they will be joining the ruling TRS on Wednesday, Nalgonda strongman Komatireddy Venkat Reddy demanded that the "shameless" people first resign from their posts and contest the elections again.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Tuesday, Komatireddy dubbed MP Sukhendar Reddy's comment that Congress was afflicted with intra-party feuding in the district as "Joke of the Year". He demanded that the leader who were deserting the party which fed them to resign from their posts and get ready for elections. Komatireddy also hastened to add that he would retire from politics if Gutha Sukhendar Reddy and Gutha Bhaskar Rao get re-elected.
Describing the migrant leaders as "Shameless" people, Komatireddy quipped that the people would teach these opportunist leaders a fitting lesson. Faulting Sukhendar Reddy saying that he was leaving the Congress due to intra-party feuding, Komatireddy said he was ready to contest against Gutha Sukhendar Reddy if the party high command permits. He also recalled that Gutha Sukhendar Reddy and Mothkupally Narsimhulu abused each other many a time when they were in the TDP.
Meanwhile, another Congress leader from Nalgonda district, DCC working president Pasham Ram Reddy also left the party and post. He has sent his resignation letter to State Congress president Uttam Kumar Reddy through fax. He was also reportedly planning to join the ruling party along with Gutha Sukhendar Reddy and others on Wednesday. (NSS)

Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright called on Israel today to refrain from actions the Palestinians find provocative, and urged a ''time out'' on settlement activity.
In an unusually pointed and specific speech, Ms. Albright listed some of the steps America wants Israel to take to revive the stalled peace negotiations and drew an immediate objection from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman, who said that settlement expansion could not be stopped.
''Israel should refrain from unilateral acts including what Palestinians perceive as the provocative expansion of settlements, land confiscation, home demolitions, and confiscation of I.D.'s,'' Ms. Albright said in a televised speech to high-school students here.
''We believe that a time-out from these kind of unilateral actions will create a climate'' in which accelerated negotiations ''can succeed in achieving a final Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement,'' she said.
These are not new American positions, both American and Israeli officials said tonight, and they have been expressed to Mr. Netanyahu in private. ''What is new, and surprising, is that she made them public,'' a senior Israeli official said. ''It now puts pressure on us to answer. It puts the ball in the Israeli court.''Continue reading the main story
Ms. Albright spent the first day of her trip underscoring American support for Israel and sympathy for its view that the Palestinians have not done enough to guarantee security.
Ms. Albright met today with the Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat, in the West Bank town of Ramallah. She said afterward that he had to make a much harder and sustained effort to crack down on terrorism to boost Israeli confidence, and had promised her he would do so.
But the Israelis must also stop humiliating the Palestinians, she said. And for the first time in public, she listed some of the specifics of what she wanted the Israelis to do.
Ms. Albright did not describe her speech to Mr. Netanyahu in advance, American officials said, although it was cleared in Washington and was being fine-tuned nearly until delivery. Mr. Netanyahu immediately objected to the call on halting settlement expansion, with his spokesman, David Bar-Illan, saying: ''She's talking of the future, and right now we have to concentrate on stopping terrorism.'' In any event, he said: ''You can't ask us to stop expanding existing settlements, which are living organisms.''
Another Israeli official said: ''She asks that Israel stop anything the Palestinians regard as provocative. What will they think is provocative tomorrow?''
While Labor Governments have also expanded existing settlements and the Oslo accords do not limit them from doing so, the Palestinians have complained that Israel now builds large new neighborhoods near existing settlements in order to call them expansion, rather than label them new.
Earlier today, Ms. Albright said that substantive progress on peace was hard to find. ''So far we have managed to get agreement on the fact that terrorists are terrible but we have not, I think, yet been able to see what the best methods are to get the peace process back on track,'' she said. ''I think I still have a great deal more work to do.''
Israeli officials said that they expected the American envoy, Dennis Ross, to return in a week or so to build on the Albright mission, but American officials said no final decision had been made on such a trip.
Ms. Albright, while repeating the primacy of security and the need for Mr. Arafat to show a ''comprehensive, relentless and sustained'' effort to stop terrorists, also had tough criticism for Mr. Netanyahu even on his own efforts to enhance Israeli security.
With candor rare in diplomacy, she said in Ramallah that ''it is beyond my understanding'' how Israel's decision to withhold millions of dollars of taxes it owes to the Palestinian Authority could be a security measure, as Mr. Netanyahu insists.
The money represents about 60 percent of the Palestinian Authority's annual budget, and to withhold it, she said, ''makes it more difficult to have the kind of political environment'' necessary for Israeli-Palestinian partnership.
Mr. Netanyahu has previously released about a third of the tax money, and a senior Israeli official said tonight, after the Albright speech, that another large amount would be released ''in a few days'' if Mr. Arafat makes some move to crack down on radical groups like Hamas and Islamic Holy War.
In reciprocity, the official said, Mr. Netanyahu would also move to ease restrictions on Palestinian travel in and out of the West Bank, including the movement of more Palestinian goods like fruit, flowers and vegetables -- but not cement, which the official said the Palestinians were using to build a Gaza seaport Israel had not yet agreed to allow.
Mr. Netanyahu had also asked Ms. Albright to ask Mr. Arafat's help to find a missing Israeli believed to have been kidnapped, and Mr. Arafat promised today to help, officials said.
At their joint news conference, Mr. Arafat said he was satisfied with Ms. Albright and the American role and said: ''We do not believe in violence or terrorism. We reject it.'' He said that ''the Palestinian Authority is committed to all its responsibilities and I hope the Israeli Government will do the same.''
Ms. Albright, at the news conference, expressed sympathy for Palestinian feelings. ''These have not been easy years,'' she said. ''The Palestinians have suffered a great deal, including the human costs of closures, on restrictions on movement and of housing demolitions and land confiscations.'' She added: ''Your frustrations are understandable. This is not what peace was supposed to bring.''
American officials said that Ms. Albright's strategy, in the atmosphere following two devastating suicide bombings in Jerusalem, has had to consist of sequential steps: reassure the Israelis about American support for their state and its security; reinforce Israeli demands that Mr. Arafat fight terrorism in a serious, sustained and uncompromising way; make it clear to Mr. Arafat that only when Washington is satisfied on terrorism can she possibly move to discuss political issues in a serious way with Mr. Netanyahu; get a commitment from Mr. Arafat ''to do what needs to be done''; monitor that commitment; remind Mr. Netanyahu that ''the fight against terrorism is a necessary but not sufficient condition to move forward''; insist that Mr. Netanyahu keep to the Oslo accords and their troop withdrawals from the West Bank; and, finally, chide both sides for their failures to work together and treat each other with respect.
Ms. Albright's speech tonight was an effort to push Mr. Netanyahu to do the last, officials said. Because to get to the accelerated talks on a final settlement between the Israelis and Palestinians, one official said, ''both sides need to have a lot more confidence and trust in each other than they do right now, and right now they don't have very much.''Continue reading the main story

Festus Ezeli zings NCAA over free internet
Golden State Warriors center Festus Ezeli was critical of the NCAA on Thursday after it publicized the fact that its players get free WiFi at the annual NCAA tournament.
Ezeli, a graduate of Vanderbilt, took notice of the NCAA's tweet and called it out for not fairly compensating players for the money they make the association.
The NCAA provides free wi-fi to student-athletes at all of the team hotels during the DI men's basketball championship.— Inside the NCAA (@InsidetheNCAA) March 17, 2016

Laramie, Wyo. -
After falling from the ranks of the undefeated, the University of Wyoming men's basketball team looks to return to its winning ways on Saturday when the Cowboys face Nevada at 4 p.m. MT in the Lawlor Events Center. The Pokes dropped their first game of the season to Boise State on Wednesday in the Mountain West opener for both squads and now face a Wolf Pack team that is 8-1 on the season at home.
Fans can follow live stats, live audio and live video of Wyoming's game through the men's basketball Gameday Central page on the website. The contest will also be broadcast on the radio by the Cowboy Sports Network.
A Look at the Matchup
Wyoming is 13-1 on the season after suffering defeat for the first time this season with a 63-61 loss to Boise State on Wednesday in the Arena-Auditorium. The Pokes posted the best start in program history with a 13-game winning streak to start the season and climbed to No. 25 in the latest ESPN/USA Today Coaches, but couldn't tame the Broncos in the MW opener for both squads. UW and BSU battle throughout the game on Wednesday, as the Cowboys took the lead twice in the last minute, before the Broncos sunk a three as time expired to steal the win. The loss snapped a 12-game home winning streak for Wyoming and leaves just three undefeated teams in the nation now (Duke, Arizona and Michigan). Wyoming has been a balanced squad this season. The Pokes average 67.9 points per game on 46 percent from the field, 35 percent from three and 74 percent at the charity strip, as all three of those marks rank third in the MW. On the defensive end, the Cowboys lead the conference and rank eighth in the nation in scoring defense by allowing 55.2 points per game. Wyoming ranks fifth in the MW in field goal percentage defense at 40 percent and eighth in three-point field goal defense at 36 percent. UW's plus 2.9 turnover margin is fourth in the Mountain West.
David Carter is in his fourth year at the helm for Nevada and guided it to an exceptional season in the WAC last year. The Wolf Pack went 28-7 overall in 2011-12 and 13-1 in the conference to advance to the quarterfinals of the NIT. Carter returned three starters and 10 letterwinners from that squad for Nevada's first season in the MW. The Wolf Pack is 9-6 so far in 2012-13, but own an 8-1 mark at home. Nevada dropped its first game in the conference with a 78-65 loss at Air Force on Wednesday. Nevada led 33-30 at halftime but was outscored 48-32 in the second half. The Wolf Pack offense ranks fifth in the MW at 71.9 points per game, but is seventh in field goal percentage at 43 percent and ninth in three-point percentage at 30 percent. Nevada does lead the league in free throw percentage at 75 percent, though. On the defensive end, the Wolf Pack is eighth in field goal percentage defense at 43 percent and ninth in three-point field goal defense at 38 percent. Nevada's plus 1.0 turnover margin is fifth, but its 0.9 assist-turnover ratio is eighth in the conference.
Each Team's Leaders
Senior forward Leonard Washington was named the MW Player of the Week on Monday and leads the Cowboys at 14.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. He is one of just three MW players to rank in the top 10 of the conference in all three categories and leads the league in blocks. Senior guard Derrious Gilmore adds 12.1 points and 3.0 assists from the point. He is fifth in the MW in three-point percentage at 42 percent and seventh in threes per game at 2.0. Sophomore forward Larry Nance Jr. is UW's other scorer in double figures at 10.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. He is one of four Pokes to shoot over 80 percent from the free throw line. Sophomore guard Riley Grabau missed time in December with a knee injury, but has started the last two contests. He averages 5.8 points and 2.7 assists per game. Freshman guard Josh Adams, who filled in for Grabau when he was injured, will now be asked to fill in for senior guard Luke Martinez, who is out indefinitely with a hand injury. Adams averages 6.2 points and 1.5 assists per game. Gilmore scored 17 and Washington and Adams both had 12 on Wednesday against Boise State.
Preseason All-MW selection Deonte Burton is Nevada's top threat with team highs of 16.1 points, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The junior guard ranks fifth in the MW in points, third in steals and 10th in assists. Senior guard Malik Story isn't far behind at 15.9 points, 2.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. He ranks sixth in the MW in points, fifth in threes per game at 2.4 and seventh in three-point percentage at 34. The duo is the only Wolf Pack players to start all 15 games. Junior forward Kevin Panzer has started 14 contests and averages 5.4 points and 4.5 rebounds. Junior guards Jerry Evans Jr. and Jordan Burris rounds out Nevada's starting five against Air Force. Evans pulls down a team-high 5.1 rebounds to go with 7.4 points, while Burris scores 8.0 points per game and has a team-high 14 blocks. Burton scored a team-high 21 points against the Falcons on Wednesday.
About the Series
The Pokes own a 7-1 advantage in the all-time series with the Wolf Pack, including a 3-0 mark in Reno. Nevada's lone win in the series was a 35-32 victory in Laramie during the 1937-38 season. The two program's last meeting was an 83-64 Wyoming win on Dec. 4, 1999, in Laramie. Saturday will be the first MW game between the two.
Up Next
Wyoming travels to Fresno State for an 8 p.m. MT game on Wednesday.

Van Nuys Airport owner Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has issued a request for qualifications for two FBO properties at the airport. One property, situated on Daily Drive, has been vacant for several years. According to a LAWA spokeswoman, a pending deal on the location fell through, resulting in a new proposal process. The other location is the former Pentastar FBO, currently managed by Cutter Aviation, which has pledged a multimillion-dollar renovation of the facility if it is awarded a new lease. The submission window for the two properties closes at the end of this month.
The airport, one of the nation's busiest business aviation destinations, recently celebrated the completion of a seven-month, $20.5 million renovation of its main runway. The modernization project on 8,000-foot-long Runway 16R began in February and required approximately 2,500 hours of construction time spread over 300 days. The runway was closed for 10 full days and 26 nights during that period and operated with shortened lengths for an additional 65 days.
Among the improvements: asphalt overlay and partial reconstruction of the runway's north, center and south sections, installation of a new blast fence at the run-up area, repairs to the existing concrete runway ends, repair and expansion of concrete shoulder pavements, high-speed exit light modifications, new embedded approach lighting and new pavement markings.
The project is expected to extend the life of the runway for at least 20 years.

John Rae Centre will celebrate Orkney, the Arctic, and the Inuit
John Rae Society. The Society is bent on turning the Hall into a John Rae Centre celebrating the links between Orkney, the Canadian Arctic, and John Rae's Inuit and First Nations allies. OK, I may have mentioned this once or twice. But those just discovering Rae might enjoy reading about when the Society purchased the Hall or the unveiling of the National Commemorative Plaque, or look, here's an Open Letter to the Explorer on His Birthday. A more comprehensive narrative is coming in September, when HarperCollins Canada publishes Dead Reckoning: The Untold Story of the Northwest Passage. Meanwhile, to achieve its objective, the John Rae Society has launched a Go Fund Me campaign. Turn the Hall of Clestrain into a John Rae Centre? All I can say is YES!

Glad to see such progress! I well remember being there and hearing you lament the stae of the building (and Rae's reputation) in 2011. You must get a lot of satisfaction from this.

Ladies do you ever think you can date a teenager of 16-18...is it possible? And if it is what will make you take such decision?
Most Helpful Girl
well. I'm 19 so it's not that much of a stretch, but I personally date older. I'm pretty mature for my age, so I need someone to be mature as well, and usually high school boys aren't. there is the rare exception and to that I might consider going younger.00|00|0
