November 2016 Climate Summary for Northern and Eastern Maine
November 2016 will be remembered for significantly above average
temperatures...below to near normal precipitation...and snowfall
that ranged from below average Downeast to above average north...
with a snowy finish to the month.
Temperature averages ranged from 2.5 degrees above Downeast to 5.5
degrees above across the far north. At Caribou...the November 2016
average of 36.8 degrees tied as the second warmest November on
record with 2009...with only the 2011 average of 37.9 degrees
finishing warmer. Houlton with an average of 37.0 had it 8th warmest
November...with the warmest there 38.4 recorded in november 2006.
The complete lack of arctic air masses characterized the month...
and although cloudy conditions kept average high temps from being
very much above normal...overnight lows were much above average. At
Caribou...the lowest temperature of the month of 23 degrees recorded
On the 7th...12th and 29th was the first time the minimum November
Temperature failed to fall to at least into the teens prior to the
end of the month since records began in 1939.
Total precipitation for the month ranged from near average across
the Downeast and far northern portions of the region to as little as
70 percent of average over central portions of the region. All of
the region would have likely experienced well below average
precipitation if it were not for significant events that occurred on
The 16th...25th and 26th and 29th and 30th.
With the advent of somewhat colder air masses after the 20th...
enough cold air became in place for the remaining precipitation
events to be mostly snow across the far north and a combo of snow
and rain events for central portions of the region. Although Caribou
began the snow season with the second latest first measurable snow
event of record on november 21st ending on the 22nd...two other
moderate to heavy snow events followed on the 25th-26th and 29th-
30th. This resulted in the month finishing significantly above
average with the monthly total of 20.2 inches the 11th snowiest
November...significantly behind the 34.9 inch snowiest November
recorded in 1974. The snow depth of 16 inches at Caribou on the 30th
was also the 4th highest ever recorded for the month with wet heavy
snowfall clinging to trees and other outdoor objects...A stark
contrast to what was a very mild...snowfree fall.
The climate prediction center outlook for the month of December is
calling for slightly greater probability from climatology of above
normal temperatures and precipitation for the region. Average
December daily mean temps range from the mid to upper teens in the
far north to the upper 20s along the downeast coast. Average liquid
equivalent precipitation for the month for the entire area is about
3.25 to 3.50 inches while average snowfall ranges from around 10
Inches along the Downeast coast upwards to 25 to 30 inches across
lower terrain far northern locations...with higher average snowfall
For higher terrain locations of the northwest.

Cranberry Salad
My dear friend Lori sent me this recipe 7 years ago, and it has become one of our family's favorites during the holidays. My kids love it.
Cranberry Salad
2 cans whole berry cranberry sauce
1 large tart apple, peeled and cut into tidbit size (I use Granny Smith)
1 large can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup cold orange juice
1 large box strawberry jello
Mix together the cranberries, apple pieces, pineapple, and pecans.
In a separate bowl, add jello to boiling water and stir. Add orange juice, stir.
Mix both together in your serving bowl and refrigerate until jellied. I usually make this the night before serving to be sure it's chilled.
Merry Christmas!

Spring is just weeks away but many of us are already experiencing the warm temperature earlier than its normal occurrence. For many, this calls for a fresh start of everything around the house. And when we talk about spring cleaning, your HVAC system should be on top of the list. Here are some important activities you should do to keep your units running in tip top shape all year-round.
Replace air filter.
After continuously using your furnace for the winter season, air filters can get really dirty. It is important to replace or at least clean air filters every three months or more frequently if you have pets at home. Clean air filters is necessary to keep your indoor air free from allergy-causing particles and to maintain proper airflow.
Clean the A/C's drainage hole.
The drainage hole is located beneath the evaporator fins and it should be clear of blockages when you start to use your air conditioner. As part of your spring cleaning, poke through the drainage hole using a wire or a clip and remove the dirt stuck in it.
Clean the area around the condenser unit.
During the long cold months, fallen leaves, twigs and other debris can get stuck and gather around the condenser unit. Be sure to clear the area to keep the system running efficiently and in full blast when you need it the most.
Remove dirt in the ceiling fans.
You will be using your ceiling fans anytime soon for additional comfort. Clean the dust off your fan so that it will not be distributed to the different parts of the house once you turn it on.
Clean air ducts.
The dirt mixed with the air eventually accumulates in the air ducts. If not removed, it can block airflow and give stress to your units, allowing it to work less efficiently. Schedule a professional air duct cleaning to ensure that even the slightest dirt is cleaned to keep your indoor air healthy and to maintain your unit's efficiency.
Clear the area around your air conditioning system.
You may have temporarily put some furniture around your air conditioning system last winter or maybe, dust and dirt may have gathered in the area after few months of rest. Before firing it up for the first time, clear away dust and other debris in and around your A/C.
Schedule an HVAC maintenance.
An HVAC tune-up is the best way to prepare your unit for the spring and summer. Contact your trusted HVAC technician and schedule HVAC maintenance as early as today.
Spring planning and cleaning is the best way to prepare you HVAC for the greater demands that come along with the hot season. Buckle up and ready your home for the next heat wave!

The calm in the eye of the storm
- After the excitement of last week, a certain dullness seems to pervade the calendar. The Eurogroup of finance ministers meet, but nothing is expected from this. At some point the Greek situation needs to be addressed but there does not seem to be any urgency.
- Bullard of the Fed is speaking on monetary policy. However we have a pretty clear indication of where the Fed is going in the near term. The next task for the Fed is to manage expectations about 2016, with the market still below the FOMC forecasts.
- US consumer credit data is due. As the Fed's success as a central bank will ultimately be measured by inflation and control of credit bubbles, these numbers should never be entirely ignored. However they are not especially timely.
- China is about to take on leadership of the G20 and has suggested that perhaps some commodity markets should be priced in SDR (in other news, China is to join the SDR). The problem is that legislating what markets should do rarely works well (outside China).

About Our Harnesses
We prefer harnesses over collars for walking dogs since we design ours to wrap around the chest and stay away from the neck. They give you more control and protect the dog. We have designed two styles of harnesses. Our vest harnesses with hook & loop at the chest and belly for more adjustment and easy on and off. And, our step in harness for dogs and owners who don't like the velcro and for dogs who pull. The step-in harnesses have "D" rings on each side and when a dog pulls, all the pressure is on the chest between their front legs. We worked a long time to get these designs just the way we wanted it so we hope you like them.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) September 17, 2013
Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit News: The attorneys at Wright & Schulte LLC are pleased with recent news out of New Jersey that C.R. Bard has reached a second vaginal mesh lawsuit settlement in a claim involving its Avaulta pelvic mesh. According to a report from Bloomberg News, the undisclosed settlement was reached in a Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit that had been tapped for the first bellwether trial in a consolidated litigation underway in Atlantic County Superior Court, where C.R. Bard is named a defendant in more than 800 transvaginal mesh lawsuit or bladder mesh lawsuits. According to court documents, the transvaginal mesh lawsuit trial was scheduled to start on September 23, 2013. (Virgil v. C.R. Bard Inc., ATL-L6917-10, Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division, Atlantic County)
vaginal-mesh-case-set-for-trial.html, Bloomberg News, September 14, 2013]
This transvaginal mesh settlement comes just weeks after C.R. Bard agreed to another undisclosed settlement in a federally-filed transvaginal mesh lawsuit that was scheduled for trial in a multidistrict litigation underway in U.S. District Court, Southern District of West Virginia. According to court documents, that settlement was reached just a week after the jury hearing the first Avaulta bellwether trial in the federal litigation awarded $2 million to the plaintiff. (In re C.R. Bard Inc. Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2187))
Wright & Schulte LLC, which represents numerous women in vaginal mesh lawsuit who have allegedly experienced painful vaginal mesh complications due to products manufactured by C.R. Bard and other companies, is encouraged by these recent developments, and believe they bode well for plaintiffs in similar transvaginal mesh lawsuits. The Firm is continuing to offer free legal evaluations to alleged victims of serious vaginal mesh complications. If you or someone you love suffered a serious injury following transvaginal implantation of pelvic mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence, please visit yourlegalhelp.com, or call toll-FREE 1-800-399-0795 to learn more about your options for legal recourse.
Data from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) indicates that thousands of women with pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence have had transvaginal mesh devices implanted to treat the disorders. In 2008 and 2011, the agency issued public health alerts regarding the growing number of vaginal mesh complications that had been reported to its adverse event database, especially in women who received transvaginal mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse. According to the FDA, the most frequently reported transvaginal mesh complications include mesh erosion and shrinkage, chronic pain, infection, and pain during sexual intercourse.
[fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/AlertsandNotices/PublicHealthNotifications/ucm061976.htm; FDA, October 2008]
[fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/UroGynSurgicalMesh/default.htm; FDA, July 2011]
According to Bloomberg News, tens of thousands of vaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed in courts around the country on behalf of women allegedly injured by these devices. In addition to the C.R. Bard litigation, several other multidistrict litigations are pending in the Southern District of West Virginia for transvaginal mesh lawsuits involving other manufacturers, including:
So far, device manufacturers have lost every vaginal mesh lawsuit that has gone to trial. In July 2012, C.R. Bard was ordered to pay $3.6 million to another Avaulta plaintiff in a case that went to trial in California Superior Court. (Scott v. Kannappan, S-1500-CV-266034-WDE ) In March of this year, the New Jersey Superior Court jury hearing the nation's first trial of an Ethicon Inc. transvaginal mesh lawsuit awarded more than $11 million to a woman injured by the Gynecare Prolift device. (Gross v. Gynecare Inc., Atl-L-6966-10)

call attempts not only cost time and nerves. They could also lose a customer or
an important order.
XPhone Connect's presence management not only automatically syncs with your calendar. It is also coupled to the intelligent voicemail system, thus ensuring your ideal availability. At the same time you always have the maximum overview of the availability of your colleagues. Mobile included.
Want to connect an important customer? Or do you need a quick response from the sales team? With XPhone Connect's clearly structured presence management you can see at a glance which of your colleagues are available, who is in a meeting, who is on the phone or has enabled call forwarding.
Automatic syncing with your calendar means your status is always up-to-date. Forwarding to a colleague or to the mailbox is also set without your intervention according to your presence status.
Of course you can also adjust your status manually - even on the go via Mobile App from your smartphone.
The key success factor for a functioning and company-wide presence system is: simplicity. Thanks to automatic syncing with your Outlook or Notes calendar the presence status of you and your colleagues is always up-to-date.
The presence status is displayed not only in the XPhone Client but also in connected applications such as Microsoft Outlook, HCL Notes, CRM or SharePoint.
You can of course control your presence status completely automatically. XPhone Connect syncs directly with your calendar and knows when you are in a meeting or on holiday.
But not every appointment is in the calendar. You sit down spontaneously for a meeting? With a click you have adjusted your status – and, at the same time, set your call forwarding. In addition, you can leave your colleagues a note and e.g. indicate that important customers can be put through.
Your flight is delayed and after a meeting with a customer you'll be back in the office later than planned? With the XPhone Connect Mobile App you can easily adjust your presence status on the go. Then your colleagues will know directly when they can expect you back.
At the same time you can set up or change call forwarding. This ensures that, during your absence, all calls are forwarded to a colleague, your voicemail or - via Follow-Me - directly to your mobile phone.
Of course, at the same time you have the status of your colleagues in view via the app - and know who is available for you if needed.
Via the Team-Panel you have the availability of entire departments in view, right up to the whole company. Presence and telephony status are presented together in a clear overview and you can directly recognise which of your colleagues is available to you.
Your colleague's meeting is taking longer than planned? Someone from your team has called in sick? No problem. You can both adjust the presence status for your colleague as well as set up new call fowarding.
The only prerequisite: the relevant employee has assigned you the permissions in advance. Both – the adjustment of the status and the assignment of permissions – are done in seconds.
Your presence status is not only an important piece of information for your colleagues. At the same time it controls your call forwarding – ensuring your calls never go unanswered.
The presence system can, for example, be configured such that different call forwarding arrangements are set up depending on the situation. Thus e.g. during a meeting your voicemail is automatically activated. But as soon as you are on holiday or out of the office, external calls are forwarded to the team hotline.
Depending on the configuration of the XPhone Server you can set up your profile templates directly in the XPhone Client and manage your call forwarding flexibly and easily.

How do we solve a problem like the state pension?
A report from the Government's own actuary published towards the back end of last year made pretty terrifying reading for anyone interested in the UK's future finances.
The Government Actuaries Department (GAD) paper, which you can read in full here, analyses the financial position of the 'National Insurance fund' – the difference between the money the Exchequer gets in from National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and pays out in benefits. The vast majority of these benefits (94% in 2015/16) relate to the state pension.
The 'balance' of the fund stands at around £25 billion at the moment, according to GAD estimates (see Figure 1), and in the very short-term the picture looks rosy. A combination of the end of contracting-out in April 2016 and the gradual increase in the state pension age to 65 for women by 2018, and then to 66 for all by 2020, means NIC receipts are expected to exceed benefit expenditure up until around 2025.
However, after this point a lethal cocktail of demographics and the impact of the state pension triple-lock – which guarantees the payment rises in line with the highest of average earnings, inflation or 2.5% - sees the size of the fund fall away from 2025 onwards.
Under the assumptions used by GAD, the fund is exhausted from around 2032 – that's less than 15 years away. After that point the Treasury (i.e. taxpayers) will need to provide a grant in order to fill the gap between the amount coming in through NICs and the amount going out in state pension.
These grants will kick in at £11.6 billion a year and increase rapidly to £151 billion by 2060 and £482 billion by 2080 if the system stays as it is. Clearly this money will have to come from somewhere and the options open to policymakers to plug the funding gap are not particularly attractive.
The Government Actuary reckons a 5% increase in National Insurance Contributions would do the trick. However, given the controversy caused by a relatively small (and perfectly reasonable) change in NICs for the self-employed in the 2017 Budget, this is hardly a realistic route for any politician seeking election – regardless of their political hue.
Alternatively, the state pension age could rise further and/or faster than under current plans, or the value of the payment cut back (perhaps by scrapping the triple-lock). Again this would potentially be hugely unpopular and Labour has committed to halting planned increases in the state pension age and retaining the triple-lock.
If neither of these options is palatable, where does the current – or more likely future – Government turn? Cuts to the NHS budget anyone? Or education perhaps? In this environment of difficult choices it's hard to imagine pension tax relief – which the Government spends approaching £50 billion a year on - staying out of the firing line.
But what we really need is a serious, cross-party, national conversation about the future direction of pensions in general. It may seem ambitious given the tribal nature of UK politics, but the success of automatic enrolment has shown the way in delivering lasting retirement savings policy. It is time for the rest of the retirement savings system to benefit from similar long-term thinking.
Only by attempting to build consensus, as was achieved through automatic enrolment, can such difficult long-term challenges be tackled.

Backitude for Google Latitude
Control Google Latitude with GPS accuracy & battery efficiency at your own rate. Backitude provides GPS and network location updates for your Google Latitude and Google Location History accounts seamlessly in the background of your Android device. The application integrates with Google Latitude and expands your updating and accuracy options, and allows you and your friends to force updates on eachother when an up-to-date current location is really needed. Configure Backitude to update your location at a specific time interval and keep your location as accurate as possible using GPS satellites, WIFI location detection, and Cell Tower signal triangulation*. (All while running in the background of your device, even in sleep mode if desired)
Why is it needed? Android-devices running Latitude on their own will not use the GPS to update locations when running in the background. This results in a horribly inaccurate and useless location value. Also, Latitude may not update as frequently as you might desire. Backitude addresses these issues and more while keeping battery efficiency as a top priority.

Château Troplong Mondot 2006
It could be easy, after tasting the monumental 2005, to dismiss the 2006 Troplong Mondot, but don't be so foolish. Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional performance. Of course, this is not the 2005- a singular vintage that will be difficult to duplicate in a 20-30 year span, but the 2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly masculine and deep effort. Its inky/blue/purple colour is accompanied by an exceptional bouquet of powdered rock, blackberries, blueberries, spring flowers, and hints of camphor as well as espresso roast. The wine is full-bodied with a layered, multi-dimensional texture, sensational purity and structure, and elevated levels of tannin, concentration, and richness. Forget it for 7-8 years, and drink it over the following 20-25 years.' Robert Parker, 93 points

the Cure's 13th
So the Cure drop the thirteenth album of their career in September, but before that they're releasing a new single every thirteenth of the month. It seems quite gimmicky, especially for an established and well-respected group of artists such as them. Has anyone heard of this? Or heard the new singles? It doesn't change my opinion of them but it does make me wonder how some other fans feel about this, and is it indicative of a possible demise for a band that's been around for thirty years?

One of the biggest drains on resources for any business is debt recovery.
Unpaid invoices can be particularly costly, tedious and frustrating, often damaging the ongoing business or customer service relationship of both parties. But it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom.
Setting up clear and transparent workflow practices from the outset can prevent debt issues from spiralling out of control and help maintain positive business relationships moving forward.
Clarify Invoice Payment Terms and Conditions in Your Initial Contract
Ensure your initial contract is crystal clear on your payment terms and conditions, as well as any legal or interest implications that may ensue upon non-payment. Clarify exactly how many business days the invoice should be paid by, and the consequences of non-payment.
The main goal is to establish your payment terms as directly and as early as possible. This way it is clear to all clients that you take timely invoice payments seriously.
If in doubt, speak to a solicitor to ensure your binding contract includes the necessary terms and the ramifications of non-payment.
Demand a Deposit
Many businesses use the deposit system as an almost 'token' payment to secure a booking, service or product. It's common to request 20% or even 50% of the final invoice upfront. Securing a larger portion from the outset ensures you have less to recover down the track. It also locks your client into a more binding contract with your company, as they have more invested with you and are less likely to move to another provider.
Incremental Invoicing
For clients with tight cash flow, an incremental invoicing system can help ensure your mutual payment system better meets their weekly, monthly or even quarterly budget. Using an automated software platform to solve issues and process incremental invoicing can also help alleviate any administrative burden on your business.
Automate Your Invoicing
Save time and effort by implementing software that automatically generates and tracks invoice payments. An accounting and invoicing platform such as QuickBooks Online that integrates with your CRM, marketing and sales platforms will ensure your payment system works seamlessly across your business.
Legal Escalation
In the event of non-payment, ask politely. Most of the time, invoices fall by the wayside due to time commitments or mere oversight, so don't be too aggressive in your first contact with clients. Be friendly but firm in your initial correspondence.
Depending on your business relationship, you may want to give a month or even six months to settle the debt. But in the event of complete failure in your communications and their refusal to pay, you may wish to issue a letter of demand. This gives your client a window to pay the debt without escalating the matter to legal proceedings. When drafting a letter of demand, it's best to seek the advice of a solicitor to ensure the content meets specific legal requirements.
Usually a formal, legally executed letter of demand is enough to kickstart clients into action, but if all else fails, you might have to hire the expertise of a debt collector who has the legal muscle to follow through on the outstanding payment. Pursuing legal action should be a last resort, as it is often costly and time-intensive for both parties.
Patience Pays Off
Despite the frustrations of debt recovery, it is important to keep calm, be patient and ensure all correspondence is firm, professional and within your legal parameters. Aggressive demands, threats and anger will only exacerbate the issue and damage your reputation in the long run. That's why it's important to have external debt consultants in conjunction with streamlined automated tools to ensure you deal with any unpaid invoices in a timely and professional manner.

It's been about 2 and a half years since we first heard about the National Broadband Network although back then it was a much different beast than what it has become. Initially the NBN was mostly going to be a project that was only given initial seed funding from the government with the rest to come from private industry backers. That proposal fell flat on its face when none of the bidders were able to provide a serious proposal and it then transformed into a fully government funded project, to the tune of $47 billion. Keeping the project alive was one of the key points in swinging the election towards Labor's win, albeit at the cost of deploying to regional towns first instead of major cities as it was planned.
The initial stages in Tasmania have been rolling out for some time and the stage 2 deployments in select regional towns on the mainland have also started. Just last week however brings news that the first 14,000 residents who have been connected to the NBN can now sign up for plans with their respective ISPs, signalling the beginning of the commercial NBN:
From tomorrow, the 14,000 residents whose homes have been passed by the National Broadband Network's first release site roll-out and aren't already locked into alternate contracts with their internet service provider will be able to order an NBN service.
"The launch of commercial services over the fibre network in the mainland First Release Sites marks a significant milestone for the delivery of the NBN. It is the start of a new era of service and competition as providers begin to offer a range of different plans over our open-access wholesale network," NBN Co head of product development and sales, Jim Hassell, said in a statement.
From just an idea to first light in under 3 years is pretty good by government standards, especially when the project is scheduled to run for at least another 5. The competition for consumers has also begun to heat up as well with iiNet undercutting Internode, forcing them to rework their plan (it now currently stands at the same price, but with 30GB of data). This is great news for us consumers because it means by the time the NBN is available to a much wider audience prices will probably be forced even lower once the economies of scale start to kick in.
Even at these early stages however the current plans available are quite comparable to their ADSL counterparts. For example I'm on an ADSL2+ connection with 250GB of data (one of their older plans I believe) with a $10 "power pack" that makes my uploads not count and gives me a static IP address. The NBN equivalent is their silver plan, which is 25 down/5Mbps up, comes in at $74.95 for 300GB a saving of approximately $20/month over what I'm currently paying. For the same price I can get the top tier of bandwidth along with an extra 50GB of data, which is quite amazing for a service that's only available to 14,000 people.
How long it will be before such services are available to a good chunk of the Australian populace remains a mystery however. The current rollout map only goes up to Stage 2 which is only a few dozen locations and I haven't been able to source any rollout plans past that. From the rumours I've heard major cities should be the next stage after the current one, but even then rollouts in those areas will take a long time to complete, especially if the TransACT rollout in Canberra is anything to go by.
All of this is pointing towards a very bright future for Australia and the NBN. No future government would risk cancelling a project that is this far under way, especially with the potential benefits for both consumers and business. The pricing being competitive with current ADSL plans means that there will be a real incentive for people to switch to the NBN once it becomes available and it will only get better in the future. I'm really looking forward to being able to be part of the NBN once it becomes available, even though I know it will be a long time coming.
I remember getting my first ever phone with a data plan. It was 3 years ago and I remember looking through nearly every carrier's offerings to see where I could get the best deal. I wasn't going to get a contract since I change my phone at least once a year (thank you FBT exemption) and I was going to buy the handset outright, so many of the bundle deals going at the time weren't available to me. I eventually settled on 3 mobile as they had the best of both worlds in terms of plan cost and data, totaling a mere $40/month for $150 worth of calls and 1GB of data. Still when I was talking to them about how the usage was calculated I seemed to hit a nerve over certain use cases.
Now I'm not a big user of mobile data despite my daily consumption of web services on my mobile devices, usually averaging about 200MB/month. Still there have been times that I've really needed the extra capacity like when I'm away and need an Internet connection for my laptop. Of course tethering the two devices together doesn't take much effort at all, my first phone only needed a driver for it to work, and as far as I could tell the requests would look like they were coming directly from my phone. However the sales representatives told me in no uncertain terms that I'd have to get a separate data plan if I wanted to tether my handset or if I dared to plug my sim card into a 3G modem.
Of course upon testing these restrictions I found them to be patently false.
Now it could've just been misinformed sales people who got mixed up when I told them what I was planning to do with my new data enabled phone but the idea that tethered Internet usage is somehow different to normal Internet usage wasn't a new idea to me. In the USA pretty much every carrier will charge you a premium on top of whatever plan you've got if you want to tether it to another device, usually providing a special application that enables the functionality. Of course this has spurred people to develop applications that circumvent these restrictions on all the major smart phone platforms (iOS users will have to jailbreak unfortunately) and the carriers aren't able to tell the difference. But that hasn't stopped them from taking action against those who would thwart their juicy revenue streams.
Most recently it seems that the carriers have been putting pressure on Google to remove tethering applications from the Android app store:
It seems a few American carriers have started working with Google to disable access to tethering apps in the Android Market in recent weeks, ostensibly because they make it easier for users to circumvent the official tethering capabilities offered on many recent smartphones — capabilities that carry a plan surcharge. Sure, it's a shame that they're doing it, but from Verizon's perspective, it's all about protecting revenue — business as usual. It's Google's role in this soap opera that's a cause for greater concern.
Whilst this is another unfortunate sign that no matter how hard Google tries to be "open" it will still be at the mercy of the carriers their banning of tethering apps sets a worrying precedent for carriers looking to control the Android platform. Sure they already had a pretty good level of control over it since they all release their own custom versions of Android for handsets on their network but now they're also exerting pressure over the one part that was ostensibly never meant to be influenced by them. I can understand that they're just trying to protect their bottom line but the question has to be asked: is tethering really that much of a big deal for them?
It could be that my view is skewed by the Australian way of doing things, where data caps are the norm and the term "unlimited" is either a scam or at dial-up level speeds. Still from what I've seen of the USA market many wireless data plans come with caps anyway so the bandwidth argument is out the window. Tethering to a device requires no intervention from the carrier and there are free applications available on nearly every platform that provide the required functionality. In essence the carriers are charging you for a feature that should be free and are now strong-arming Google into protecting their bottom lines.
I'm thankful that this isn't the norm here in Australia yet but we have an unhealthy habit of imitating our friends in the USA so you can see why this kind of behavior concerns me. Since I'm also a firm believer in the idea that once I've bought the hardware its mine to do with as I please and tethering falls under that realm. Tethering is one of those things that really shouldn't be an issue and Google capitulating to the carriers just shows how difficult it is to operate in the mobile space, especially if you're striving to make it as open as you possibly can.
So I'm sold on the tablet idea. After resisting it since Apple started popularizing it with the iPad I've finally started to find myself thinking about numerous use cases where a tablet would be far more appropriate than my current solutions. Most recently it was after turning off my main PC and sitting down to watch some TV shows, realizing that I had forgotten to set up some required downloads before doing so. Sure I could do them using the diNovo Mini keyboard but it's not really designed for more than logging in and typing in the occasional web address. Thinking that I'd either now have to power my PC or laptop on I lamented that I didn't have a tablet that I could RDP into the box with and set up the downloads whilst lazing on the couch. Thankfully it looks like my tablet of choice, a wifi only Xoom, can be shipped to Australia via Amazon so I'll be ordering one of them very soon.
Initially I thought I'd go for one of the top of the line models with all the bells and whistles, most notably a 3G/4G connection. That was mostly just for geek cred since whenever I'm buying gadgets I like to get the best that's on offer at the time (as long as the price isn't completely ludicrous). After a while though I started to have a think about my particular use patterns and I struggled to find a time where I'd want to use a tablet and be bereft of a WiFi connection, either through an access point or tethered to my phone. There's also the consideration of price with all non-cellular tablets is usually quite a bit cheaper, on the order of $200 with the Xoom. It then got me thinking, what exactly is the use case for a tablet with a cellular connection?
The scenarios I picture go something along these lines. You're out and about, somewhere that has mobile phone reception, but you don't have your phone on you (or one not capable of tethering) and you're no where near a WiFi access point. Now the possibility of having mobile phone reception but no WiFi is a pretty common event, especially here in Australia, but the other side to that potential situation is you either can't tether to your mobile phone because its not capable or you don't have it on you. Couple that with the fact that you're going to have to pay for yet another data plan just for your new tablet then you've really lost me as to why you'd bother with a tablet that has cellular connectivity.
If your reason for getting cellular connectivity is that you want to use it when you don't have access to a WiFi hard point then I could only recommend it if you have a phone that can't tether to other devices (although I'd struggle to find one today, heck even my RAZR was able to do it). However, if I may make a sweeping statement, I'd assume that since you've bought a tablet you already have a smart phone which is quite capable of tethering, even if the carrier charges you a little more for it (which is uncommon and usually cheaper than a separate data plan). The only real reason to have it is for when you have your tablet but not your phone, a situation I'd be hard pressed to find myself in and not be within range of an access point.
In fact most of the uses I can come up with for a tablet device actually require them to be on some kind of wireless network as they make a fitting interface device to my larger PCs with all the functions that could be done on cellular networks aptly covered off by a smartphone. Sure they might be more usable for quite a lot of activities but they're quite a lot more cumbersome than something that can fit into my pocket and rarely do I find myself needing functionality above that of the phone but below that of a fully fledged PC. This is why I was initially skeptical of the tablet movement as the use cases were already aptly covered by current generation devices. It seems there's quite a market for transitional devices however.
Still since nearly every manufacturer is making both cellular and wireless only tablets there's got to be something to it, even if I can't figure it out. There's a lot to be said about the convenience factor and I'm sure a lot of people are willing to pay the extra just to make sure they can always use their device wherever they are but I, for one, can't seem to get a grip on it. So I'll put it out to the wisdom of the crowd: what are your use cases for a cellular enabled tablet?

Discovery of Selective and Orally Bioavailable Protein Kinase Cθ (PKCθ) Inhibitors from a Fragment Hit

Protein kinase Cθ (PKCθ) regulates a key step in the activation of T cells. On the basis of its mechanism of action, inhibition of this kinase is hypothesized to serve as an effective therapy for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and psoriasis. Herein, the discovery of a small molecule PKCθ inhibitor is described, starting from a fragment hit 1 and advancing to compound 41 through the use of structure-based drug design. Compound 41 demonstrates excellent in vitro activity, good oral pharmacokinetics, and efficacy in both an acute in vivo mechanistic model and a chronic in vivo disease model but suffers from tolerability issues upon chronic dosing.

Self Storage – Safe and Useful Way to…Monica Fowler | April 28, 2017 | 0
It is said in a lighter vein that someone's gain is another's loss. But some builders in Australia have been lucky to find themselves on the best of both sides, the gainer as well as the loser. There has been a slump in the overall construction business, but it appears they had enough orders on hand building self storage facilities. To most, a typical Sunshine self storage might just be 4 walls and a roof and practically nothing else, but in reality that is not so. There are many factors to be considered, especially if there has to be 24-hour access to the storage area.
Alternate Space Availability a Boon for Many
The very concept of Kensington self storage is based on the shortage of space for different segments in the community. For the common resident, a home becomes insufficient to accommodate everything they have. This could happen due to an expansion of the members of the family or acquisition of items like boats or other materials and seek extra storage space. A business expands rapidly and there are documents, promotional materials that cannot be stored within the limited space hired when the business was launched. Even a law firm or a practicing auditor would want to store the voluminous documents at the Australian Sunshine self storage and operate more efficiently from their premises.
Special Requirements Also Met
Some of the storage requirements listed above may be of a regular nature. However, there are special groups of users of the storage facilities as well. Here, the businesses which are involved in importing goods and then selling/ distributing them across Australia form one category. They would normally order the products in bulk to save on the costs and the effort. All the quantities imported in one lot may not be used up immediately. They will then seek out the Port Melbourne self storage to keep the excess material temporarily and then remove and ship them out.
Extended Duration Storage
All the Sunshine self storage facilities would have a bouquet of services on offer. Though the basic tariff they apply may be on a monthly rate, shorter duration storage is also feasible. Same way, if it is the long term storage Melbourne residents need, there are provisions for it. A typical example is if a person finds an assignment out of Melbourne and may not be coming back for a couple of years. The person may not wish to leave the house locked and go. The furniture and other stuff can be kept in the Sunshine self storage and the house let out on rent. The person can come back after the 2 years and resume living. There may be many other similar purposes where such storage requirements may be needed for extended periods.
As briefly touched in the beginning, the other factors related to the facilities are also of concern to the customers who entrust their valuable belongings to the self storage company for safe-keeping. The agencies provide security through manpower and also through additional support like CCTV cameras and the likes. There are also ways in which the locks on the containers can be opened only by the owner and no one else.
This is a very useful facility and can be used by all. For more details on all these services, check sites like https://www.publicselfstorage.com.au/select-location-page.htm/.

This post will test a theory I have that management doesn't read this blog. Management doesn't even know who Fake Jane is, much to Fake Jane's dismay. I was hoping the new business network from "Down Under Man" (or someone who could be named Murdoch) might reach out to Fake Jane, but it has not.
"Down Under Man" told me to instead forward head shots of Real Jane's 17-year-old daughter, who's getting an "A" in high school Econ and therefore qualifies as anchor material.
Meantime, Fake Jane languishes on the fringes of CNBC stardom. It's hard to compete against people who are better looking, more talented, and younger. And the women aren't bad, either. HA! I mean, seriously, WHERE IS THE MALE COUNTERPART TO ERIN OR BECKY OR MARIA OR SUE OR TRISH OR MELISSA? Now, don't get me wrong, Fake Jane likes anything with a "y" chromosome, and, yes, the CNBC men are hot enough. Carl, Kernen, Mr. Haines (he scares Fake Jane), Dylan, Bill, Cramer, Kudlow. You get my meaning.

Willie Gary Law Firm and Gertrude Walden Child Care Center Provide and Serve Holiday Meals to Over 1500 Hungry Families for the 5th Consecutive Year
Gertrude Walden Child Care Center Calls on Gary Law Firm to Help Continue the Undertaking of Feeding Disadvantaged Families
STUART, FL – Employees of the Law Offices of Gary, Williams, Parenti, Watson and Gary, P.L. recently partnered with Gertrude Walden Child Care Center in Stuart, Florida to provide holiday meals to disadvantaged families from the community. This is the fifth consecutive year that the two organizations have joined forces for this worthwhile endeavor. The Gary Law Firm sponsored the cost of the meal as well as assisted the employees from the Gertrude Walden Child Care Center in preparing the delicious, down-home holiday meal complete with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, carrots, dressing, dinner rolls and cake! Together, employee volunteers from the law firm and the child care center served the meals in celebration of the holiday season to families from the surrounding community.
Over 25 employees from the Gary Law Office donated their time for this worthwhile endeavor. Volunteers spent the afternoon cooking the food, packaging meals for take-out, replenishing food items, cleaning tables and serving those families who chose to dine-in. Families began to converge at the child care center early that afternoon in anticipation of the holiday feast. A line of people extended beyond the front door of the child care center into the adjacent parking lot. Over 1500 meals were served throughout the course of the afternoon. Nearly half of the 1500 meals were distributed during the first 90 minutes.
"My heart is always with the least of these," commented Willie Gary. "I commend Gertrude Walden Child Care Center for their commitment to helping those who are less fortunate. Gertrude Walden works tirelessly to feed families in our community and I am just honored that we were able to help them achieve this goal for the holiday feast. Through this effort, we were able to provide dinners to families who, in many cases, might not have anything to eat on Christmas Eve or Christmas day. With today's needs so prevalent and so pronounced, I'm glad we were able to contribute," continued Gary.
Known for his philanthropic endeavors, Willie Gary and his wife, Gloria Gary, founded The Gary Foundation, which provides college scholarships to at-risk students who wish to attend college. The Gary's have donated millions of dollars to help Historically Black Colleges and Universities – including $10 million to their alma mater Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
13th Annual Willie E. Gary Kidz Carnival Provides Toys and Holiday Cheer to Thousands of Children
Children Enjoy Carnival Games, Rides, Cotton Candy, Music, Face Painting and a Visit from Santa Claus
STUART, FL – Prominent attorney, Willie E. Gary, and the Gary Foundation recently hosted the 13th Annual Kidz Carnival at Memorial Park in Stuart, Florida. Thousands of children from five counties were invited to attend the event to receive toys and enjoy food, Christmas music, carnival rides and a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The law firm of Gary, Williams, Parenti, Watson and Gary, P.L. along with Dean Baumgartner, the Porter Law Firm, AXA Advisors, Inc., Parks and Crump, LLC., Searcy, Denney, Scaraola, Barnhart & Shipley PA, The Emanuel Firm and Jimmy and Geraldine Young, graciously sponsored the purchase of over 2000 toys. Many businesses made financial and in-kind contributions in support of this worthwhile event. Sponsors for the carnival included: Gary Financial Group, Malone Law, Coca Cola, Battle Creek Community Foundation, 104.7 The Flame, and Harvey Moore & Associates.
Over 20 youth organizations from Martin, Indian River, Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties were invited to bring young people to the carnival to pick out a gift of his or her choice and enjoy the festivities. The Kidz Carnival is a highly anticipated event on the Treasure Coast. Since its inception over a decade ago, the Gary Foundation Kidz Carnival has been providing toys to disadvantaged youth who otherwise may not receive any presents for Christmas. Attendees enjoyed sno-cones, pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, a bounce house and obstacle course, slides, a rock climbing wall, a video game truck, as well as numerous competitive rounds of musical chairs.
"This is by far my favorite event of the year," said Gary. "Christmas is about giving to others and making sure that children, who are less fortunate, can also enjoy the excitement of receiving toys. Given the current economic climate, we have found that there are more children in need than ever before. Kids being kids – that's what the carnival is all about," continued Gary. "Our job is to make sure they have fun, and don't have any worries for the day."
Known for his philanthropic endeavors, Willie Gary and his wife, Gloria Gary, founded The Gary Foundation, which provides college scholarships to at-risk students who wish to attend college. The Gary's have donated millions of dollars to help Historically Black Colleges and Universities – including $10 million pledge to their alma mater, Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
