The laws and regulations that govern the video marketplace, and in particular the relationship between broadcasters and pay-TV providers, are in a sorry state. They weren't planned by anyone. Instead, they've accumulated over the decades, as policymakers' objectives changed over time (in sometimes inconsistent ways). To make out any rhyme or reason to the regulatory scheme that is in place today, you have to be as much of a historian as a lawyer.
Unsurprisingly, a dysfunctional regulatory system results in a dysfunctional marketplace. The "retransmission consent" rules, which control how pay-TV providers carry broadcast signals, have become the leading example of what's wrong with the current system. They were enacted in 1992, when the video marketplace was different than today's—and in the past 22 years, broadcasters have figured out ways to exploit them in ways Congress never intended.
However, the retransmission consent rules are only one piece of the puzzle. That's why members of Congress of diverse political backgrounds—Sens. Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and McCain (R-Ariz.), then-Sen. DeMint (R-S.C.), and Reps. Scalise (R-la.) and Eshoo (D-Calif.), have all come forward with bills to reform the video marketplace. To be sure, different members disagree on many of the details. The problem is complicated. But video reform is not about giving cable providers, or any other industry segment, special treatment. Some of the bills, such as Rockefeller's, have the express goal of increasing pay TV competition from online providers, which is not something on the cable industry's wish list. Rather, the video reform effort is about making sure that the system we have serves the needs of viewers by giving them more control over what they watch and how they pay for it.
It can be hard to keep track of the various proposals, as well as the various policies (distant signal importation, sports blackout, syndicated exclusivity, compulsory copyright licenses, program access, and program carriage, to name a few) they would change. So it helps to focus on one, called "basic tier buy-through," that many members of Congress, as well as the cable industry and consumer groups like mine, agree should be eliminated. Under this policy, which is rooted in both statute and FCC regulation, all pay-TV customers are required to buy cable packages that include a complete broadcast lineup. This policy has a number of negative effects:
- Forget about whether cable wants to offer an à la carte option to subscribers. When it comes to broadcast content, à la carte is illegal.
- In negotiations with broadcasters, a cable system can't agree to pay the carriage fee that the broadcaster demands—but only for viewers who willingly sign up for that station. This eliminates a bargaining chip that cable would otherwise have, and tilts the negotiation in favor of the broadcast side.
- Guaranteed carriage by cable systems—a privilege which cable networks like Discovery, the Food Network, or Bloomberg News don't enjoy—creates an incentive for broadcasters to stay on the air, without giving them any reason to make sure they provide compelling programming. These perverse incentives reduce the likelihood that a broadcaster would voluntarily participate in the upcoming incentive auction, which has the aim of freeing up spectrum for wireless broadband.
To be clear, the buy-through rules have nothing to do with the must-carry rules that benefit public, non-commercial, low-power, and minority-interest stations. Those continue to serve a valuable purpose. The buy-through rules primarily benefit large, commercial, network-affiliated stations that have no need of a helping hand.
If these rules were phased out, viewers who opted out of paying for supposedly "free" broadcast programming would not have to fumble around with rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna, or switch their TVs between different "modes." It would make sense for pay TV companies and third-party manufacturers to provide consumers with set-top boxes that seamlessly integrated over-the-air signals with other content in a seamless user interface. Needless to say, these devices don't exist today, because of the restrictive rules that makes the market for them illegal.
On many issues relating to video reform, I have differences of opinion with my pay-TV counterparts. Nevertheless, when it comes to the rules that control the broadcaster/pay-TV relationship, they have a point. The existing rules are slanted too far in favor of broadcasters. Congress should fix this, not to benefit any one industry, but to help viewers.

I don't eat bananas
I haven't had a banana in the past six months. Why? The price used to be around A$3 to A$4 a kilo but went through the roof (A$12 a kilo = approx US$9, or 7 euros) after Cyclone Larry crossed the tropical north Queensland coast on March 20 this year. In the regions of Innisfail, Tully and Atherton, 80% to 95% of the banana plantations were destroyed. Australia protecting its local farmers will not allow imports, so whatever little is left sells at shocking prices. Well, we''ll just have to wait till the new banana trees start yielding again (about a year I believe) ... and in the meantime, keep eating apples! How much are the bananas where you live?
More about cyclone Larry and the Queensland banana industry here.

The bananas are laughing at us because they know that we can't live without them. The y also doubled in price her in NZ. Between 3 and 4 NZ Dollars., I think.
If it is warm enough to got to the beach – I envy you is still so cold here.
Best wishes

Hi, Nathalie. Thanks for all the nice comments you left at my blog.
Bananas here are about $0.80/kilo. I think that's close to par with your dollar. We import 100% of our bananas from Central and South America.

The price has gone bananas doen here too, although it does slowly seem to be getting better. Under the $10 mark now.

Dont worry,Nathatlie, apple tastes better than bananas I think before the banana trees grow up...
In shanghai, banana can be seen everywhere.It is not expensive, around 5RMB =0.63USD /kg. But now I am eating the pomelo!! LOL...

Oh no! Bananas are so essential. Around here, (northeast, usa) they are about $2.99 for a bunch at my local farmers market. Also, your profile photo is adorable.

What ever I can afford is very cheap. I can still afford bananas Nathalie, grown in abundance here.
But my last visit to Bangalore shocked me, each banana was 4 rupees, about 10 cents. but that was a rare occasion. Here in chennai its 15 cents a dozen. In Kerala it is still cheaper. A 1000 kilometer comfortable train journey costs less than 10 dollars. So I travel a lot.

i wish i can send you some but yea apples are healthier to eat..
btw i like the photo
- 9:50 pm
if no one is buying due to the price, with such short shelf life, it will be wasted in the end, no?
- 6:55 pm
Wow. did not know the prices of bananas in Oz has gone up so much.
Here in Singapore, a bunch of 5 bananas that I usually get is around SGD1.30 or around AUD1
Like Jing, I am having pomelos now. yum yum...

- Gail's Man said...
Here in Nottingham (check out my blog) we are awash with bananas. We can buy a kilo for about a dollar. They of course all come from overseas, as it's too cold here to grow them, but great for apples!

And you don't import NZ apples, either. Pity.

Given two words (start and end), and a dictionary, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from start to end, such that:
Only one letter can be changed at a time.
Each intermediate word must exist in the dictionary For example, Given: start = "hit" end = "cog" dict = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"] As one shortest transformation is "hit" -> "hot" -> "dot" -> "dog" -> "cog", return its length 5.
Note: Return 0 if there is no such transformation sequence. All words have the same length. All words contain only lowercase alphabetic characters.
We can use BFS to solve this problem. It's a breadth first search. Put the first word in a queue.
Then, while the queue is not empty, check all possible combinations of the word changing one letter.
If the word exists in the dictionary, check if it is the word you're looking for, if its not, put it in the queue with the count of the word you're checking right now plus 1.
If it was the word you're looking for, return the current word's count.
public class CrazyForCode { public int ladderLength(String start, String end, Set<String> dict) { if (start == null || end == null | | dict == null || dict.size() == 0) { return 0; } Queue<String> queue = new LinkedList<String>(); queue.offer(start); dict.remove(start); int length = 1; while (!queue.isEmpty()) { int count = queue.size(); for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { String current = queue.poll(); for (int j = 0; j < current.length(); j++) { for (char c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++) { if (c == current.charAt(j)) { continue; } String temp = replace(current, j, c); if (temp.equals(end)) { return length + 1; } if (dict.contains(temp)) { queue.offer(temp); dict.remove(temp); } } } } length++; } return 0; } private String replace(String s, int index, char c) { char[] chars = s.toCharArray(); chars[index] = c; return new String(chars); } }

Introduction about Arbor Day:
Arbor Day is celebrated on 28th April every year. Arbor Day was originated in Nebraska City in 1872 and was founded by J. Sterling Morton. On first Arbor Day of the history approximately 1 million trees were planted. Today this day is celebrated in many countries and there is also an Arbor Day foundation that is running successfully. This article is written by Full Assignment Help UK
Goals and Objectives of Arbor Day:
The main goal and objective of this foundation is to have a cleaner and greener place to live that's why they focus on plantation and greenery. The Arbor Day foundation is a purely non-profit organization. Currently this organization consists of millions of members worldwide who take active part in making the world greener and healthier. Today Arbor Day foundation is the biggest non-profit membership organization contribution in tree plantation.
Importance of Plants for World:
We all know how important plants and trees are for our environment and that's why there are many companies running CSR (Corporate social responsibility) programs. Many companies have a partnership with this foundation giving benefit to the environment by donating or contributing for tree planting. Not just small or average businesses are taking part in this but also many big renowned businesses are taking part too.
The importance of tree plantation and greenery is high and we are all aware about it and that's why in all the schools there are regular awareness campaigns for the kids to learn about tree plantation and its importance. Many different activities are arranged where kids plant a tree and gets involved in gardening. There are some schools and colleges that offer short gardening courses. Time has changed a lot of things so it has changed people's mentality and their point of view. Few years back hardly people use to have a home garden, only people living in villages or small towns use to have them but now there are so many people having a home garden and they grow plants and trees themselves, they believe in having a kitchen garden too and they grow fruits and vegetables. When it comes to tree plantation there are many people who make mistakes so here are some of the ways you can plant a tree or you can consider it as tree plantation tips:
- Make up your mind that what kind of tree you will plant: you should know what kind of tree you want to plant for that obviously you will carry out a research. During research do find out about the below points. Doing this will keep you on the right track.
- Keep your local climate in mind: For planting a tree one of the most important things are to keep the climate in your mind. Make sure you are aware about the climate as this will help you in selecting the right plant. In many cases plants die in few weeks or few days as the climate they are planted in is not suitable for them. You will have to do a research on this.
- Your land must be in consideration: there is always a difference in the lands no matter the climate is same or not, some lands are more fertile and have lots of soil meanwhile some are not really reach in soil and are not really fertile. Choose your plant according to your land.
- Follow the laws for digging holes and planting trees: there are some basic rules and regulation and some basic laws for planting a tree that must be followed so do read them and follow them during the plantation process.
- Take expert's opinion: if you are doing this for the first time or if you have recently started this work then make sure you take some help and advice from the professionals and experienced people.
- Time to buy your plant: once all the background research has been done now you can simply by your plant according to the land, climate and laws.
- Choose the right time: it is very important that you choose the right time of the year to plant the tree. Make sure the time is appropriate to plant a tree according to the land, climate and the plant type.
- Preparations shouldn't be neglected: you just cannot but a tree and plant it as it is on your land, you will have to do some arrangements and prepare the tree for planting in order to get good outcome.
- You need to mark the land: you need to mark the best places on the land where you can plant the tree and then start the process.
- Measurements and calculations should be there: math is everywhere even in planting you will have to measure and calculate things. Always measure the root ball of the plant and then prepare the hole for plantation accordingly.
- Plant and adjust the position: once done with the above mentioned process you will now finally place the plant in the hole and fix its position then cover the hole properly. After all this of course you have to water the tree regularly and maintain it on regular basis.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
"Paradise Found" at this spectacular beach front luxury condo. As you open the front door of the condo, you immediately relax, seeing the view of the ocean and lush groomed cultural garden preserve outside your condo. You walk to the sliding glass door, open the screen, step onto the lanai and feel the fresh tropical ocean breezes. You take in the views of the ocean, white sandy beach, swaying palm trees, tropical flowers and greenery. Time stands still as you take a seat at the table and chairs, on your private outdoor lanai and take in the views. Awesome! You are in Paradise! The white sandy beach and coastal walking path are steps away from the condo and lanai.
The condo definitely was built with great attention to detail. Peruvian tile was used for the floor covering and kitchen back splash. The large gourmet kitchen has top of the line appliances including: Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer with ice-maker, GE Microwave, Bosch stainless steel dishwasher, Wolfe glass cooktop range and oven. In unit washer and dryer. The kitchen is supplied with cooking utensils, towels, coffee maker, blender, toaster, flatware, dinnerware, etc. Use the grills located by the pool area to prepare delicious island meals.
Enjoy the spacious living room while visiting, reading, watching the flat screen TV, a DVD, or sit out on the lani at the outside table with chairs to enjoy the sounds and view of the ocean. The sofa converts into a queen sleeper, if needed. With the sliding doors open and ceiling fan, you are comfortable listening to the ocean and feeling the tropical trade winds. If needed, the AC can be turned on.
There are two master suite bedrooms. One suite has a King bed, ceiling fan, flat screen TV and DVD player, sliding door to the lanai. The bedroom has an attached large bathroom with tub and separate shower. The second Master suite has two full sized beds, a ceiling fan, a flat screen TV and DVD player. It has an attached bathroom with soaking tub and shower. There is also a ¾ bathroom with shower.
The Waipouli Resort is the newest beachfront resort, built on Kauai consisting of eight buildings containing 4 floors each. As you enter the resort complex you will be welcomed by a large lobby, where you will find the Spa Salon and the concierge desk. The concierge staff are very knowledgeable and can help plan your trips to helping with restaurant ideas. As you walk out of the lobby you find a large coy pond overlooking a 2 acre meandering river style fantasy pool, featuring waterfalls, caves, water slides and a separate sand bottom wading pool for kids and (3) sandy bottom Jacuzzi Spas. On the beachfront, there is the Oasis restaurant and bar for you to enjoy your favorite Hawaiian drink or have a relaxing dinner under the moonlight and the sounds of the surf.
Located across from the resort is a shopping center supplying your needs: Safeway, Longs Drug, Starbucks, ABC store, local Pacific Island restaurant, plus many more restaurants and shops, including the Coconut Market Place center, all within walking distance.
Waipoui is centrally located as a beginning for major island attractions, whether trips to the North Shore, South or West shores. Walk or rent a bike and tour the new coastal path right outside Waipouli Resort. Visit Lydgate Park and beach, located 4 miles away. The park has a large play fort for children and adults to enjoy, including a life guarded safe beach and picnic area.
*Base rate plus Hawaii taxes at 13.4166%, outclean $195 plus tax, one time damage protection and an admin fee $50 and resort fee $20 per night (2017). Add $20 per night for 7th and $20 per night for 8th guest.
Reg. No W04986349-01
We fell in love with Kauai, when we stayed on the island for our honeymoon 22 years ago. It was a magical beginning to our journey together. Each beach we visited had and still has a unique magical memory and energy we wish to share with you.
Mary J Zubrzycki purchased this condo in 2012
We have found Waipouli to be our haven from the snowy cold winters of the mid west (US) and an escape from our busy day to day events and stress.
From either inside our condo or sitting on the lanai, we enjoy the quiet peaceful ocean views, the soothing sound of the waves, the magnificent early morning sunrises and feeling the tropical ocean breezes. An added bonus to our stay, is to view and take pictures of the whales breaching.
Just wanted to thank you again with your help on H103 11-25 to 12-2. Was everything we thought it would be and more. Great location on the island and beautiful property. We had a great time and even enjoyed the heavy rain and thunderstorm. Hopefully our family can make this an annual event.
Happy Holidays
What a gorgeous vacation getaway, one that surpassed all of our expectations! Condo H 103 is luxurious, spacious, and beautifully decorated, more gorgeous than can be depicted in pictures. From the private lanai, it has a breathtaking view of the ocean, the lush garden preserve, the white sand beach, and the expansive blue skies. It was so relaxing to sit outside on the lanai and enjoy breakfast every day while we listened and watched the waves breaking on the beach. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen and huge refrigerator should you want to prepare meals although there are several very good restaraunts nearby too. H 103 has a great location within the resort complex, no need for elevators or stairs, and so close to the beachwalk. We found it to be an idyllic retreat, serene and tranquil, just what we needed. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained. My husband and I particularly enjoyed relaxing in the hot sand bottom whirlpool after spending the day exploring the island. It was nice to have the shops and grocery stores just across the road from the resort, close enough to be convenient but not so close as to be intrusive. The staff was always very courteous, friendly, and eager to help. All in all, this was a wonderful vacation, and we hope to go back in the near future. We were thrilled with our helicopter tour and found it a great way to fully appreciate the beauty of the island. We highly recommend this Resort and H103 as a perfect vacation spot for singles, couples, or famillies with children.

Id say maybe a dozen burp cloths(but I use receiving blankets for this...dual purpose...just toss in the wash when ones dirty)
Bibs I rarely even used til DD was even older and I mostly used them when she started teething cause she drooled pretty bad then. So I would worry for a few months at least on those...But again I had about a dozen.
Sleepers I keep to about 7. One per day as I only used them for jammies.
Socks same there. About 7. Enough for one a day. Anything more is kinda outrageous. You have to remember you will do laundry at least once a week.
I always do DDs clothes by themselves so usually on day 6 I do laundry. Also they grow like weeds you will be buying a lot of sleepers and socks etc ALL the time for the next few years. No sense in buying a dozen sleepers if he outgrows them in a month and hes only worn everything twice.
Also I recommend you get a lingerie bag (its a mesh bag) that I use for kids socks. And DD has never lost a sock since then.

Item description for I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah: Moving from Romance to Lasting Love by Ravi Zacharias...Overview
A Bible scholar and renowned speaker draws five points critical to the long-lasting success of every marriage from the biblical story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah.
Publishers Description
In the twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis a beautiful young woman offers assistance to a weary traveler and his camels, and out of that simple action, a marriage results-a marriage that offers profound lessons to couples today. Bible scholar and renowned speaker Ravi Zacharias draws five points critical to the long-lasting success of every marriage from the biblical story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah.
"Real love folds together both the emotions and the will," writes Zacharias. "Without the emotions, marriage is a drudgery; without the will, it is a mockery." Building upon that foundational truth, Zacharias goes on to explain the principles of seeking the counsel of others when finding a mate, cherishing your partner, remaining pure, becoming a man or woman of prayer, and, finally, risking everything in a relationship in order to experience God's ideal for love.
Couples everywhere, from those about to be married, to those who have been married for decades, will draw strength and wisdom for the journey of marriage as they learn from Ravi what it means to move from romance to lasting love.

text: All ideas appreciated. Bride needs a fun night out for a bachlorette type party, too much stress, far too many sad events in her life lately so trying to help with a special dinner. I'd love a restaurant that would do something special - even a vist from the chef or anything along those lines. Would like to do Cafe Martorano but it's just too expensive unfortunately. It's for 12 friends and family, and just looking for a fun place with good food. Shouldn't be so hard huh!?!?!

What do you think of Ryder?
Re: Ryder?
I like it!! I have always thought of it as a strong name. Not something I would use but it is cute and ages well.
Re: Ryder?
NMS but I like it a lot.
Re: Ryder?
Ryder is a such beautiful boy name. The name sounds very nice, cool and very attractive.
Re: Ryder?
Also nms but I do like it!
Re: Ryder?
I love it, but it does remind me of Jersey Shore because Snooki had a friend named Ryder. I think it's an awesome name, though, and if you love it, you should definitely use it.
Re: Ryder?
Love it!! To me, it sounds cool and hip- not overly common, but not too different either. I also love Ryker. ;)

Myanmar Special Report: Fashion accessories is a special report focusing on suppliers with quality fashion accessory products who have not yet exported from the country. Featured enterprises include Daw Khin and Sons, Masterpiece Handicraft and Furniture and Su Mon. They offer umbrellas, handbags, fashion jewelry and footwear.
This special report covers industry overview, competitive advantages, challenges, industry composition and product features.
Industry overviewSuppliers of fashion accessories are looking to take advantage of a huge overseas potential for their products as most trade and economic sanctions against Myanmar are lifted.
Enterprises are broadening selections amid the anticipated rise in the number of foreign buyers sourcing from the country, particularly from the US and the EU. To make releases more appealing to potential clients, companies are combining traditional and modern detailing methods. They are also adopting native materials such as water hyacinth and bamboo to provide fresher takes on classic models.
|Myanmar fashion accessory industry overview
|Competitive advantages
|Industry composition
Production of fashion accessories, particularly handbags and umbrellas, is largely small-scale, with the majority of suppliers focusing on the domestic market. A handful of manufacturers are engaged in exporting, however.
Revenue specific to the line is not available as it is not considered a specific export segment. Fashion bags and umbrellas are categorized into miscellaneous goods. Income derived from this fragment reached $652 million in the current fiscal year from $184 million in the 2012-13 period.
The Asia-Pacific is the primary overseas destination. Most buyers in the region are from South Korea, Japan, Singapore and China. Other key markets are Germany, Sweden, Belgium, France and India.
Competitive advantages
The ready availability of plant-based materials is one of the sector's major strengths. Water hyacinth, which is dried and woven into handbags, can be easily procured from vendors in Ayeyarwaddy region. Bamboo, which is used as ribs of umbrellas, can also be purchased there.
Another advantage possessed by the industry is low minimum wages. Pay rates in Myanmar are only between $50 and $60 per month, enabling enterprises to roll out affordable items. This also makes Myanmar attractive to businessmen who are looking for a cost-effective sourcing hub in the region amid spiraling salaries in major production centers such as China.
Acceptance of small orders is also strong suit of the line. Most enterprises accept an MOQ of 100 pieces. They also offer a variety of designs that will suit customers' budget and needs.
One of the crucial difficulties affecting fashion accessories makers is the lack of design innovation. Because of the little knowledge in the latest fashion trends, the majority of releases come in basic and plain models. Trimmings are often limited to embroidery, and faux flowers and leaves.
Underdeveloped manufacturing processes resulting in low productivity is also a major concern. Most companies rely on simple hand tools and outdated machinery. As such, they cannot keep up with the high volume production of their foreign counterparts, particularly those from China and Vietnam. The absence of modern equipment is also preventing makers from handling large orders.
Enterprises also point to energy shortage as a stumbling block. Frequent outages, especially during the dry months of March to May, significantly reduce the production efficiency of factories. Moreover, unreliable power supply in the country, both for industrial and household use, keeps potential investors away.
Industry composition
The government does not track the official data on the number of fashion bag and umbrella manufacturers in Myanmar. There are, however, about 600 suppliers affiliated with the Myanmar Gems and Jewelry Entrepreneurs Association, with some members also engaging in bags production.
Small enterprises account for the majority of the supplier base. They normally employ five to 10 personnel. Annual income is less than $50,000.
Midsize companies often have 25 to 50 staff members. Their revenue typically exceeds $50,000 per year.
Yangon is the primary sourcing hub for fashion accessories as it hosts a large pool of artisans and offers easy access to raw materials. Most suppliers also open showrooms in the city to cash in on the growing number of tourists there.
Product features
Models in this product category generally emphasize sustainability and aesthetics. Bamboo is widely utilized in umbrellas, while water hyacinth is mostly incorporated in handbags. Apart from providing uniqueness to selections, these materials are more economical than fabrics and can be easily procured domestically.
Manufacturers often apply eye-catching colors such as green, yellow, red and orange to enliven selections. An assortment of motifs, including floral and leaf, are employed to boost appearance.
All production steps, including material preparation, assembly and finishing, involved in making fashion accessories are done in-house. Most processes involved manual labor. QC is typically performed by owners before packing and shipping. Some enterprises, however, have up to five personnel to conduct spot checks.
Prices are largely determined by the type of component used, size and design complexity. Domestically made fashion accessories are mainly low-end and mid-range. Bamboo and paper are the top material options for basic releases of umbrella. Handbags are minimally trimmed and come in natural color. The use of bright shades, on the other hand, normally compensate for the lack of accents in several versions. Quotes are between $ and $5.
Midrange variants usually have wider open diameter for enhanced usability. Landscape themes are typically adopted in higher-value products. Customized motifs can also be applied. Prices typically exceed $5.

Webscale in 2016
Revenue processed
Visitors delighted
Successful transactions
Webscale will work for you
If you're an IT leader
Managing IT for a business spans networks, internal and external applications, infrastructure, desktop maintenance, security and so much more. With the push to the cloud, managing external resources adds a layer of complexity to IT systems worldwide. Webscale manages the application, regardless of its location.
"With the level of traffic Skinit gets on a daily basis, we can't afford downtime, even if it's due to cloud provider unavailability. Webscale keeps us always-on, always fast and always available."VP of IT
If you're a business owner
The Webscale model is built to keep application and hosting control with the customer while the Webscale technology keeps things fast, secure and available. Every Webscale customer considers us a partner and not a vendor as they work with our monitoring, alerting and support. We show up, roll up our sleeves and always do the right thing by our customers. The quotes, videos and case studies are the only true testament worth sharing. For a business owner, the peace of mind knowing we will stand by you is priceless.
"We've been extremely impressed at how smoothly the Webscale team has managed our move to the cloud, and the impact of their work has been felt across the entire company."Director of IT
If you're a marketeer
With Webscale, planned, unplanned or viral marketing events are welcome and successful. The predictive autoscale technology combined with our performance, availability and security convergence bring out the best in your application. You serve the first and the millionth user equally and at the lowest total cost.
"During a surge, we were watching our traffic rise, and our immediate reaction was that the site was going to go down. I emailed Webscale, and got a response in minutes to say our secondary servers had already kicked in, and others would be added if our traffic continued to increase. Our traffic tripled that day, our biggest day ever."Ecommerce Manager
If you're an application owner
Building a great application is just the beginning. An application owner very quickly realizes that the success of their application truly depends on user adoption. Most users will abandon a slow performing site, which is why Webscale makes sure each site we serve is not just secure and available but blazing fast. And offloading the application owner by managing the entire lifecycle of application deployment is the differentiator.
"After implementing Webscale, our website speed was immediately 400 times faster, with page load times reduced from 9 seconds to 1.2 seconds."CEO
If you're a cloud provider
Your focus is on bringing the best of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to your customers. And you need to compete with the three global market leaders. Webscale has a simplified SaaS model for deploying ADCs, CDNs, load balancers, WAFs and cloud manageability for you to bring to your customers. We're your best chance at getting significant market share within your region because you have the customer relationships in place. With the right combination of product and service, we can stand together and win.
"Webscale is our load balancing partner of choice. We add their services to our customer's cloud deployments so they can leverage the utility and ROI."Regional Cloud Provider
If you're an ecommerce manager
An e-commerce initiative is the most critical part of today's retail story. E-commerce managers are tasked with the entire lifecycle of online order processing. With our converged platform, Webscale allows the e-commerce manager to focus on the design and development of the application as well as inventory and order completion. The infrastructure is always available where needed, at both, the web and application layer.
"In a recent large promotion we hit a new peak checkout rate of ten per second, selling out in minutes, while maintaining site performance and checkout response time. With Webscale we no longer have to worry about scaling to tackle these spikes."Director of IT
If you're marketing leader
Webscale technology delivers measurable benefits on things you care about and so do we – SEO, organic search rankings, conversion rates, bounce rates, revenue, user experience and customer satisfaction.
"Webscale technology delivers measurable benefits on things you care about and so do we – SEO, organic search rankings, conversion rates, bounce rates, revenue, user experience and customer satisfaction. Webscale has improved our add-to-cart speed from 3.5 sec to 1.9 sec and our conversion rate is up 17% already. As CMO, I am totally thrilled!"CMO
If you're a system integrator
Systems integrators(SIs) are designers and engineers, bringing together a wide array of products from various providers to accomplish the goal of creating a unified system that meets the needs of their customers. With the recent push into the cloud, their role is evolving and cloud management is critical. In parallel, the pace of technological advancements is so fast that it is difficult to keep up, let alone have a qualified team at hand to serve customer needs. Partnering with a company like Webscale that uses automation and technology to accomplish those tasks allows SIs to define systems and use the Webscale converged platform to successfully deliver web applications worldwide and at much higher margins.
"Before Webscale, with every new project we rushed to hire the right talent. Qualified technical talent is expensive and getting harder to come by. Webscale has leading-edge technology and works closely with us to make our customers happy."System Integrator
Born in the cloud
The cloud has limitless capacity and needs technology to bridge the gap to what is possible. Webscale is built to realize the true potential of cloud environments worldwide. Webscale can be deployed in any hosting environment, but its true home is the cloud where you'll get right sized infrastructure, robust features, performance and the highest return on investment (ROI), from a single, converged platform. Challenge us to show you how.
Deliver, no matter what
At Webscale, it's our mission to deliver a brilliant web application user experience, no matter what. That means that whatever is hitting your site, whether it be good, like a major surge in traffic caused by a successful marketing promotion, or bad, like a DDoS attack designed to take your site down, Webscale has you covered. The Webscale promise is the highest performance, availability and security combined with ease of use for our customers and partners.
Be a master of your own cloud-iverse
The cloud can be daunting and costs can scale out of control rapidly if the infrastructure is not managed efficiently and by an expert team. Be the superhero of your organization with Webscale, where everything you need to supercharge your website or web application, and manage it efficiently in the cloud, is available under one shiny roof. If you're not in the cloud already, we'll handle the migration, or host you in your current environment. From there, our awesome customer portal will be your trusty sidekick, giving you unprecedented insight into your entire web application.
We got you
Our customers have consistently ranked our support team as the number one reason they love working with Webscale – followed closely by the awesomeness of the platform of course. Our comprehensive 24x7x365 technical support gives customers peace of mind, as they know the team is constantly monitoring their web applications for any issues. From root-cause analysis on any production issues and ongoing application performance analysis, to industry-leading service level agreements and comprehensive customer tracking and communications tools, Webscale's world-class support team has your back.

Prometheus QoS (Quality of Service) is an ISP-oriented tool for easy manipulation of the IP traffic shaping and sharing features of the Linux kernel. It generates multiple nested HTB traffic control classes with fine-grained rate and ceiling values and implements optional daily (or simply periodical) data transfer quotas and data transfer statistics (as HTML). It is compatible with NAT (both asymmetric and symmetric), yet still provides good two-way shaping and prioritizing for both uploads and downloads.
|Operating Systems
|POSIX Linux
Release Notes: Startup times were improved by using the iptables-restore utility. Much less CPU system time is used because, by default, the iptables CLASSIFY target is used instead of iptables MARK.
Release Notes: Multiple keywords can be defined and used in the configuration file, so you can use Prometheus QoS to handle both symmetrical and asymmetrical or both limited and unlimited virtual subscriber lines in a single configuration file.
Release Notes: The most important feature enhancement is improved performance (packets-per-second throughput) in heavy-duty configurations, where Prometheus QoS is used to allocate the capacity of a shared Internet uplink among thousands of individualy configured IP addresses in a local network. Networks with a small number of individually configured hosts won't see any difference.
Release Notes: The most important change is probably the bugfix that allows the magic-fixed-prio and magic-relative-prio parameters to be used even with magic-fixed-limit and magic-relative-limit set to 0. This means that Prometheus can now be used to freely share spare bandwith as a real Quality of Service (QoS) tool, and not only just as a traffic shaper and Fair Use Policy (FUP) enforcement tool.
Release Notes: This release fixes long integer traffic counter overflow at 4 gigabytes (up or down). Incorrect inclusion of HTTP proxy traffic in direct traffic has been fixed. Incorrectly displayed parameters of asymmetrical upload have been fixed. A new option magic-priorities allows better soft shaping without reducing HTB ceil.
A Fluent OpenStack client API for Java.
A TWiki appliance that is easy to use and lightweight.

I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my pads go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Megan Fox is done promoting Transformers, which I saw this weekend and will say that she looks hot in IMAX, and now she is taking in some fashion shows.
(9) More pictures on the flip..
Megan was in France taking in the 2009-2010 Fall/ Winter Armani fashion show and looking very nice doing so. With her Marilyn Monroe tattoo on display she wore a very Monroe like bright red lipstick to go with her one shoulder dress.

Jamie Conlan tips his brother Michael to light up pro stage after World Amateur Championships gold
Jamie Conlan is backing brother Michael to explode onto the professional scene - after he has won gold at the Rio Olympics next summer.
Just five minutes after becoming the first Irishman to win gold at the World Amateur Championships on Wednesday, bantamweight Michael was on the phone to World top 10 super-flyweight Jamie, who is preparing in Spain for his next pro fight at Dublin's National Stadium next month.
Jamie has looked on with pride over the past five years as Michael has soared from Irish title glory to Olympic, European, Commonwealth and now World success.
Michael has made it clear that he will bid to complete his golden set with victory at the Rio Games before hanging up his Irish amateur vest and signing what he believes will be a lucrative professional contract.
"I want the gold in Rio and then I can write my own cheque," said 23-year-old Belfast man Michael.
While Jamie, 29, has his own world title ambitions, he has no doubt that Irish golden boy Michael will rapidly make his way up the world ladder as a professional.
"I have no doubt that Michael will take the professional scene by storm," said Jamie.
"He's got all the attributes to be a top professional and I'm sure that after Rio, promoters in the UK and the States will be queuing up to get his signature. Michael has the charisma, he has the talk and the style that promoters love and he has the talent to back it all up.
"He will just have to make sure that he has the right guidance because knowing Michael he'll want to fight for a world title after two or three fights!"
Jamie insists he had no doubt that his brother would make history in Doha but admits that his heart missed a beat when Michael hit the canvas in the last round against Uzbekistan's Murodjon Akhmadaliev.
"He had me worried for a moment because I've never seen him in any sort of trouble but he got caught with a good shot and then recovered very quickly," added Jamie.
"When he came on the phone to me while he was waiting for the medal ceremony to start, all he talked about was the knockdown - he asked me how bad it looked, he didn't even mention the fact that he was world champion. He just felt that he was a bit off balance when he got caught but that it was also a great punch.
"I have to say that I get more pleasure and pride out of watching Michael's success than I do with my own.
"For him to be the first Irishman to win a world gold is just incredible."
Meanwhile, Moate light-heavyweight Joe Ward had to settle for silver after he was outpointed by slick World No.1 Julio La Cruz of Cuba.
All three judges had it 30-27 for the latter.
Ward said: "Overall these championships have been pretty decent for me. I came out here to qualify for the Olympic Games and I achieved that.
"It was a tough fight, the first round changed a lot. I thought I did enough to win the first round, but it was close and I had to push on a bit then and he showed his class by keeping out of range.
"Overall, it's been a great championships, I'm going back with a silver medal and going to Rio.
"I'm going to learn from this now and all I can do is get better and improve with that fight and see how we go in the Olympic Games."

Rodgers seeks midfield recruits
Brendan Rodgers has admitted that midfield is one area he is looking to strengthen before the transfer window slams shut.
Last Updated: 18/08/11 5:29pm
Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that midfield is one area he is looking to strengthen before the transfer window slams shut.
The Swans were given a harsh Premier League lesson by Manchester City in their opening fixture of the new season, giving their manager plenty of food for thought.
One of the conclusions that that was drawn from that game, and a busy pre-season schedule, is that the club could do with extra bodies in the middle of the park.
They already have a number of potential starters on their books, but added competition for places is never a bad thing.
Rodgers hopes he will be able to bolster his ranks before the 31st August deadline, with it his intention to get fresh faces on board as quickly as possible.
He said: "We need to make sure we have enough strength and that there is enough depth, and midfield is a key part of our game.
"A lot of the basis of our work on the field is based around midfield and it's about having enough of the different types for us to control the game or win the ball, and it's about having coverage at the back."
Meanwhile, Rodgers is hoping that club captain Garry Monk will be back in contention for the Swans' next outing against Wigan.
He came through a reserve fixture against Bolton on Wednesday unscathed and appears to have shaken off the foot problem which kept him out of the season opener against City.
Rodgers added: "Garry came through and played 90 minutes and we are just monitoring him as his foot is not quite perfect.
"He has had a recovery day today (Thursday), he will have a recovery day tomorrow and we will see how he is."

Diamonds are a girl's best friend - and it was all too exciting to see the first girl to ever have sung that song, far before Marilyn Monroe or Madonna, when she originated the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes role in 1949. And to see her sing it again, dripping in *sparkling* diamonds, on a Broadway stage in 2010! It's Carol Channing, Baby!!
I saw Channing in Hello, Dolly! revival back in the mid-nineties, witnessing the first and only standing ovation I've ever seen mid-song. I also wondered if Hello, Dolly! referred to the dolly she was being pulled around on. She is of course, nipping at 90, so it's little surprise when one speaks of the beloved legend, they're greeted with: "She's still alive?"
....And kicking!
nightlife shutterbug Jeff for these photos - as I was in the third tier of the breathtakingly gorgeous New Amsterdam theatre -- at an altitude and pitch so steep, I felt like Carol in Thoroughly Modern Millie, when she got shot out of a cannon from the rafters, cooing "Raspberries!!"
But she glowed from way down there, and if Carol Channing's not sparkling, who is? She has long supported LGBT rights and performed this past week for the "Gypsy of the Year" competition, a two show benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, which raised nearly $4 million dollars from these shows and from the donations from theatregoers in the weeks leading up to the main event.
"Gypsy of the Year" honors the chorus actors "gypsies" who go from show to show on the road. Most of the shows on Broadway put together a skit, either poignant (Lion King, who lost a cast member to cancer this year) to hysterical (Mamma Mia "the hoarder keeps it all!") to an unbelievable acrobatic duo from Rock of Ages and oh so much more. You should have heard the Addams Family's Pugsly. Hysterical. More photos here. A short video from Playbill here. And it's almost like you were there!
It's so important to know the AIDS crisis is not over -- and that today's complacency is irresponsible (so is the Pope!) because HIV is not just HIV. It's a compromised, susceptible immune system, and besides that: AIDS still kills. I volunteer delivering meals for God's Love We Deliver (don't get me going about the name of the organization, but it is an awesome one) and I can tell you the reason we don't see AIDS today is because many of those it touches live in isolation: home-bound, immobile, in terrible pain, and feeling incredibly alone. I wish every young kid and would volunteer, see and speak with these people because then they might listen when they are told: Be safe.
That's why I'm so thankful for organizations, and performers like these who have not forgotten, who do not forget those who remain in isolation and pain, and who will never let them feel alone. I've caught several of their benefits - and covered the Easter Bonnet featuring oldest Ziegfeld Girl Doris Eaton Travis (who died at 106 just weeks afterward) and all the hottest dancer Broadway bodies nearly nude in the spectacular annual fundraiser Broadway Bares.
If you don't live in New York and would like to help BC/EFA in their important mission, please spare the trip to Walmart or Target and consider buying your holiday gifts from their online store? Because, as their motto reads, "What we do together makes a difference!" Hey, they even sell a Carol Channing christmas tree ornament!
As Seth Rudetsky quips: "It weighs the same as she does!"

Candler, North Carolina (PressExposure) January 16, 2009 -- The Kaller Team is now actively recruiting select Business Associates for a new home-based online business opportunity focused on DubLi, a unique global online auction fun shopping portal, which recently debuted in North America.
This fun shopping portal provides shoppers with three unique shopping options where online shoppers do not pay retail price for the hottest and latest electronic products, fashion items and home products.
The Kaller Team led by Jeff Kaller, a real estate expert includes real estate guru Ron LeGrande. Both of these experts acknowledged DubLiâs blockbuster potential by joining this new network marketing business opportunity when it debuted in North America during Fall 2008, said Julia Rosa, Team Leader.
âThe Dubli network business model is a no-brainer for these industry heavy weights, and it makes real sense for anyone who understands how itâs a smart online business opportunity model that works, said Rosa, head of thefunshoppingportal.com and an entrepreneur and owner of All Natural Baby, an online organic and natural products store. âItâs awesome how you can make a significant amount of income with this online business opportunity.â
Network marketing analysts predict DubLiâs online shopping model to surpass eBayâs popularity because of its unique reverse auction concept. Unlike eBay where the highest bid wins, at Dubli, the lowest bid wins. Shoppers win name brand electronic and home products and designer items for a fraction of retail price.
DubLi Business Opportunity âAs an online etailer focused on organic and natural products, I instantly saw the value-add that DubLi provides as a home-based opportunity because there are no products to stock and no inventory to worry about,â Rosa said. âThe income potential is staggering and becoming a Dubli Independent Business Associate is so easy and it made so much sense as I wanted to add another online business without having to worry about product and inventory.â
Rosa said her team is looking for select new partners to become Dubli Business Associates. âWe are not looking for quantity; instead our team business model is focused on quality. You donât need experience in this business model,â she said, adding that corporate professionals are attracted to the Dubli business model.
âWeâre looking for passionate success-driven business partners. I find that people with a network marketing or home-based business background are also attracted to this business model because you donât have any inventory and its really about attracting shoppers and we each have our own methods of doing that,â she said.
The Kaller Team sponsors weekly calls to support its DubLi Business Associates and provides online marketing tools and vital information to help generate awareness and demand for shopping at DubLi.
New members can join at the Gold, Silver or Bronze level, and each level provides a set amount of discounts and payouts. Check out the Dubli Network and test drive the auction site by getting your F.r.e.e. Dubli Bid Credits at: [http://www.thefunshoppingportal.com]

The driver of a blue Audi A4 who died when his car collided with an N38 night bus in Clapton, east London in the early hours of Wednesday morning could have been racing another car at 110mph, according to the bus driver.
Delano Moore, 25, who died when his Audi collided head-on with the London bus, was carrying three passengers at the time of the accident, all of which are currently in a serious condition in hospital.
Ten people who were travelling on the N38 bus had to be treated at the scene as 'walking wounded', with some taken to a local hospital to be treated for their injuries.
A colleague of the bus driver, who suffered a suspected broken leg and a cut to his head in the accident, has spoken of how he saw two cars racing down Lea Bridge Road when one smashed head-on into the bus.
According to the Daily Mail, in a text to other bus drivers, the colleague said: "The N38 was travelling towards Walthamstow at 20mph.
"Two cars were racing at between 90mph and 110mph as the N38 was approaching an island.
"The gap was closing in as one car tried to take over another car, where the car went head on with the bus.
"The bus driver was left with a bleeding head, the car was demolished."
The Metropolitan police are yet to comment on the racing allegations but a Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called at around 2.20am today to reports of a car in collision with a Route N38 bus in Lea Bridge Road with the junction of Essex Wharf.
"The male driver was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision. Another man who was in the car was taken to an east London hospital where his condition is described as critical."
"Two further men who were in the back of the car suffered injuries. They are in a serious but stable condition at an east London hospital. The four men are believed to be in their early to mid-twenties."
Mohamed, 52, a security guard at a Thames Water depot close to the scene, told the Evening Standard that his colleague heard a crash just after 2am: "He said it was so loud. He went out to look at what had happened. The whole front of the car was almost underneath the bus and it was panic and chaos.
"There were injured people in the road. He said seeing it all was very difficult. A lot of people are hurt and the emergency services were trying to save people in the car.
"There were police cars and ambulances everywhere. The car must have been coming in the opposite direction and must have lost control."

Warren & Mary Lynn Staley
Congratulations to Warren and Mary Lynn Staley, who have been named the Association of Fundraising Professionals 2016 National Philanthropy Day Outstanding Philanthropists. Their remarkable generosity is driven by a deep passion and care for people and community.
Warren is known for his accomplishments as CEO of Cargill and Mary Lynn for her civic leadership. Their giving has inspired incredible generosity in others, and they continue to make philanthropy and volunteering the cornerstone of their retirement.
Warren and Mary Lynn have supported CommonBond for more than sixteen years.
Housing for All
Note: This Minnesota Good Age article was written by Dave Nimmer, a former CommonBond Communities Board member. He and Minnesota Good Age generously agreed to share this piece with CommonBond supporters. Dave had a long career as a reporter, editor and professor; now retired, he says he has no business card, but plenty to do. He's at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This month's issue of Minnesota Good Age is highlighting the topic of housing, which can be a huge challenge for all ages, not just us seniors.
And that got me thinking about how important the idea of "home" has been in my life — and in my service on the board of a nonprofit affordable housing provider. I grumbled a bit when I first joined the board of CommonBond because I knew it was expected that board members of the nonprofit put the organization at the top of their charitable contributions lists — in addition to giving of their time and talent which, for me, meant producing videos about the outfit that'd been around for 40 years.
The Lord's work
The mood lasted until the second board meeting when I was seated next to a feisty nun, Mary Heinen, one of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet of St. Paul. In fewer than five minutes, she let me know how lucky I was to be doing "the Lord's work" for such a fine organization.
People can't rise out of poverty, she said, unless they have a roof over their heads and we, who've always had that, should be paying it forward.
I got the idea she wasn't asking for my opinion. Over the next three years of board service, I learned how right she was.
I interviewed senior citizens who found affordable apartments. I talked with single mothers who needed safe places to raise their kids. And I chatted with recent refugees who needed help learning English and finding doctors.
Currently, CommonBond owns or manages 5,500 rental apartments and townhomes in 50 cities in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. More than 9,000 people — families, seniors and people with disabilities — call CommonBond home and more than 2,400 of them are children.
For those children, CommonBond offers a "study buddy" program, in which volunteers work with youngsters who need help with learning and language.
One family's story
Hsa Dohsoe and her husband, Doh Soe, had two young sons when they moved into CommonBond's Vista Village in St. Paul five years ago.
They came to the U.S. in 2008 from a refugee camp in Thailand. The St. Paul apartment they'd been living in was costly and cramped.
Then they learned they qualified for Section 8 (subsidized) housing and moved into their Vista Village townhome — with two bedrooms.
Their boys — Banyan, 7, and Wilson, 8, — received their own room. And their parents received some peace of mind.
"We felt safe there," Hsa said. "We had a place to park the car. We had nice neighbors and I didn't have to worry about being safe. It was easier for me to concentrate on education, my school work."
She and her husband both got their high school diplomas and she's now a medical assistant with Allina. He's a technician with Premium Waters, Inc.
Doh Soe would like to get training to become an automobile mechanic and Hsa wants to go back to college and complete requirements for a registered nurse degree.
Landing safely
Today, as of two months ago, they're proud owners of a house on Barclay Street in St. Paul.
As I see them now, sitting on the front step, I'm impressed with their grit, gumption and grace. I see refugees who had to learn English, get an education, encounter a new culture and find decent jobs.
After hearing the family's story, I'm aware that having a safe place to call home is incredibly important and I've known that since I was a kid, watching a summer thunderstorm roll in late at night from my bedroom window, and feeling safe from all harm.
Sister Heinen was right: If we're not paying it forward — especially us senior citizens — we're sliding backward.
Grand Opening of Sunwood Village in Ramsey, MN
In October, CommonBond celebrated the grand opening of its newest community, Sunwood Village in Ramsey, Minnesota! Sunwood Village serves as a model for other developing suburbs with its dense, walkable character and access to transit and amenities. Its location – less than 300 feet from the Northstar Rail – gives residents easy access to over 45,000 jobs in downtown Minneapolis. It's also near the Mississippi River Bike Trail and the free bike rentals at City Hall – and offers covered bike parking for residents.
CommonBond is committed to being a good neighbor through green, environmentally friendly practices. To that end, in addition to promoting transit and bicycle use, Sunwood Village features a rain garden and a storm water cistern that holds rainfall and reuses the water for irrigation. There was a strong need for affordable housing in the area; 40 of Sunwood's 47 units were occupied within the first five days of opening! 100% of the apartment homes in this community are affordable, with four reserved for households who have experienced long-term homelessness. CommonBond's Advantage Services provides support to those four families.
Thank you to all who came out to celebrate with us, and to our project partners Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Metropolitan Council, Anoka County, and the City of Ramsey!
A Successful Business is a Family Affair
Bloomsbury Village, in Des Moines, Iowa, is an example of a CommonBond community that benefits immensely from CommonBond's Adult Education and Advancement Services. The Akol Gai family emigrated from Sudan and has lived at Bloomsbury Village for four years. When Margaret Akol Gai arrived, she had a dream of opening a family grocery store. Advantage Services staff worked with Margaret to develop a plan and to connect her with sources of support.
Margaret spent many hours in the building's computer lab to develop a business plan and to complete state and federal documents – all while maintaining her career as a Certified Nursing Assistant. After hard work, goal setting with the Advantage Services Coordinator, and taking advantage of various programs around the Des Moines area, Margaret's dream became a reality and she opened her store this year.
Margaret believes in making a family effort to be successful; all three of her sons assist her in business planning and keeping the shelves stocked. She is now working on adding a bakery department and hopes this will grow her grocery store enough that she will be able to quit her full-time job. We look forward to sharing how things progress for her and her family!
CommonBond Employment Coaches and Advantage Services Coordinators will continue to work with Margaret and other residents on securing and retaining employment. In 2016, adult residents have obtained 184 jobs and 77% of those jobs have been retained long term.
A Commitment to Giving
Ben and Mary Stephens choose to support organizations in a quiet yet deliberate way. CommonBond Communities is fortunate to be one of the nonprofits to which they have made that kind of commitment. Ben and Mary have been involved with CommonBond for more than twenty three years.
"We believe so strongly that families deserve safe and affordable housing. CommonBond understands so well, that besides physical housing, many supportive services are needed to help individuals and families move forward toward healthy lives."
We deeply appreciate Ben and Mary's ongoing support. They have made a real difference in the lives of the thousands of residents we serve. Due to their generosity – and that of many others – more than 6,500 adults and nearly 2,500 children will celebrate the holiday season living in CommonBond communities committed to their stability, independence, and future success.

6. PCI Compliance
The intent of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is to make sure everyone involved in the process meets a high level of security. That includes providers like ABC Signup, payment gateways, processors, and anyone who accepts credit cards.
7. Encryption
This is an important part of PCI compliance and payment processing in general. Before credit card data is sent on its way after it is submitted, it is scrambled so scalawags cannot read it if they try to intercept it. Once the data reaches its intended destination, it can be decrypted.
8. Payment settlement
Once the bank/financial institution that issued the credit/debit gives the green light, the merchant will receive the money for the transaction (paying for a class, for example). When the balance is deposited in the merchant account, it has been settled. The amount of the settlement will be minus various processing and flat fees that are charged by the host of entities involved in the transaction along the way.
9. Batch processing and fees
When a merchant takes credit card payments, they do not settle them individually or immediately. This usually happens at the end of the day for all transactions that occurred that day. Processors apply batch fees, which is a small charge for each batch of transactions settled. These fees may also be called settlement fees, daily closeout fees, or batch header fees. They all refer to the same process.
10. CH, EFT and eChecks
These three terms are often used as though they mean the same thing. They are close, but they are not exactly synonymous. ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, which is an electronic network of financial exchanges. The movement of money (or numbers representing money rather than physical cash) within the ACH is an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Customers who pay by eCheck, like those who pay for training, are performing a specific type of EFT.
There. Now you know more than 99.97% of the world about online payment processing. If you have questions, comments, or would like to know more about registration software, just use this form.

A good place to start looking is in SpiderOak ONE's deleted items bin. To protect against accidental or malicious deletion, SpiderOak's copies of files you've deleted on your computer are moved here. For your protection, SpiderOak never empties this folder automatically, so over time it can become quite large.
To check your deleted items bin, open the Manage tab in the SpiderOak application on your computer. In the Devices column on the left, you will see a list of all your devices, and each has a Deleted Items bin. Select one. Once selected, you can delete its entire contents with the Empty button.
You can also browse or delete individual items in the same way you would any other item from your SpiderOak account. Find a file or folder you wish to delete. Select it and the Remove button will become active. Press the Remove button to delete the selected item.
Each device in your SpiderOak account has its own deleted items bin, so check them all. As a security measure, you can only delete files and folders associated with the computer you are seated at. If you select a file or folder associated with another computer, you will notice that the Remove button does not activate. This is a common cause of difficulty.
To make removal of files easier, make sure the Full Paths toggle button is enabled. It's found near the top of the Manage tab. Once you've done that, you will see while browsing the deleted items bins of your devices that there's probably only one or two top level folders, with everything inside it. If you wish to empty the deleted items bin and delete everything, you can select that top level folder and remove it.
You might also check to see if you have a very large number of historical versions saved. Usually these deduplicate, but some file structures don't deduplicate effectively and your historical versions might be taking up a lot of space. Microsoft Office and Outlook files are well known file types that don't deduplicate well and commonly overrun storage space. To delete a historical version, first click on the file in the Manage tab. A window will slide out from the right displaying all of the file's historical versions, including the date the version was saved and its size. Select any version and then click the Remove button to remove the version from your account. To select multiple versions, hold down the Control key and click which you would like to remove.
Although it is an advanced technique, you can also purge all your historical versions at once by using the command line.
Many users have unnecessary "junk" files selected for backup. For example: temporary internet files, cookies, "Recent" menu, and so on. These are files that would serve no purpose to restore, so there's no point in backing them up. They change often and accumulate a lot of historical versions. Our recommendation is to back up only your documents and other user files, not application or system data. For more information on this, see What Data Should I Back Up?.
Once you get the immediate problem taken care of, we suggest you periodically check the storage bar at the bottom of the application. It shows how much space you have in your account and how much of it you are using. This will let you know ahead of time if you are in danger of running out of space.
The information above is based on the current version of our application. If you are running an older version, download and install our current version, then follow the instructions above.

Writing Stories for Children to Love
Thursday, June 14, 2012
Just because I haven't been here lately doesn't mean I haven't been busy with writing. My latest adventure was to lead a children's writing seminar at the annual MCC Writer's Seminar held at Mountain Christian Church. The overall attendance could have been better but those who were there were really enthusiastic about their writing and that's always inspiring. I find myself inspired as well by the picture on this post. Seeing a group of children happily reading sparks my writer's flame. No time to waste.
