Mikhy Farrera-Brochez, the American who is involved in the HIV data leak in Singapore is officially charged by a grand jury of criminal charges relating to the breach.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) named Brochez as the one responsible for leaking the data of thousands of HIV positive Singaporeans and residents in his Facebook profile after he was deported out of the country.
The grand jury in Kentucky recommended on Thursday that three criminal charges should be charged against Mikhy after they have reviewed the evidence presented by the prosecution and determined that there is enough evidence to press criminal charges.
Farrera-Brochez was deported last year from Singapore after serving prison sentences for numerous drug-related and fraud offenses, including lying about his own HIV status.
According to the Health Ministry of Singapore, Farrera-Brochez, angered by his deportation had disclosed the personal information from names and identity numbers to addresses, of 5,400 citizens diagnosed with HIV up to January 2013, and of 8,800 foreigners diagnosed up to December 2011, on his Facebook account.
"The criminal complaint alleges that Farrera-Brochez illegally possessed and intended to distribute data containing sensitive medical and other identifying information," the U.S. Attorney's office of the eastern district of Kentucky said on Friday.
"While living in the eastern district of Kentucky, Farrera-Brochez sent links to the data from his e-mail account to several news outlets. He also sent e-mails to several government officials in Singapore containing links," it said in a statement on its website.
The first charge, intent to extort, tackles about an email he sent to Singaporean government officials and the Ministry of Health on January 22. He posed a threat in the email to injure the reputation of Singaporean officials and MOH.
According to the affidavit submitted by FBI special agent Chelsea Holliday, Brochez sent an email asking the Singaporean government to investigate the crimes that were allegedly committed against him during his stay in Singapore. The email contained links of digital documents in Google Drive that leads to the HIV registry.
The second charge, another intent to extort, is about an email he sent from Kentucky to Singapore on February 18. The email asks the Singapore government to end the HIV registry and to release his husband, Dr. Ler Tek Siang, or he will continue to publish the confidential information that he has. He said that his husband was 'unlawfully imprisoned based on false charges.'Ler was convicted of helping him give false information to the authorities and now on the process of appealing the conviction.
The third charge is related to the first email where he is charged with unlawfully transferring or possessing identification documents. He is scheduled for arraignment on March 19 where he would plead either 'guilty' or 'not guilty.'
If convicted, Brochez could face two years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for each charge of intent to extort and another $250,000 for the third charge plus up to five years in prison.
Last week, Brochez faced the court for the preliminary injunction of a civil lawsuit filed by the Ministry of Health. The judge ordered him to permanently delete all his copy of the confidential information and his online posts pertaining to the sensitive data in social media across all platforms.
He has until March 19 to delete all his copy of the HIV registry and all his acquaintances and friends he sent the data to are also ordered to remove their copies as well.
US District Judge Danny Reeves said that Brochez was likely to continue in his efforts to spread the leaked information if the preliminary injunction was not granted.
"The defendant has indicated in a Facebook post that he feels 'wronged' by the Government of Singapore and has repeatedly threatened to disseminate the information if his husband is not released from custody," said the judge in the written grounds for his decision, seen by The Straits Times.
The judge also noted that the MOH was likely to succeed in showing that Brochez committed an invasion of privacy under Kentucky law.
"Brochez has shown that he is willing and capable of giving unreasonable publicity to another's private life," said the judge, noting that Brochez had disclosed confidential information to news outlets."
He is now in custody and is awaiting arraignment to the three new criminal charges against him. /apr

FRP concrete forms shape West Point library&'s new entryway
MFG Construction Products Co. (div. of Molded Fiber Glass Cos., Ashtabula, Ohio) manufactures fiberglass forms for cast-in-place concrete construction. The company has recently been involved with demanding applications at historic locations, including a $59 million (USD) library expansion at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.
Designer STV Inc.'s (New York, N.Y.) complex entryway concept for the building�s first-floor fa�ade included two vertical columns with arches spanning 25 ft/7.7m (column to column), adorned with cloverleaf-shaped cast reliefs. Though a decorative feature, the exposed concrete columns also had to support a portion of the building�s dead load.
Featured Content
Rick Rohrer, senior project manager for formwork subcontractor Ceco Concrete Construction (Gladstone, Mo.), notes that the complexity and compound radii of the arches and columns made site-built wooden forms impractical. Ceco contracted with MFG to design and build custom fiberglass forms. MFG's engineering manager Eric Brace converted the architect�s design data to shop drawings and built a three-dimensional digital model. This allowed the CNC machining of a series of male plugs for the arches and columns. Because only two arch plugs were needed (two of the three arches are identical), low-cost wood and masonite were cut to form the plugs, says Brace. MFG then hand-layed chopped strand mat (CSM) reinforcement wet out with isophthalic polyester resin supplied by AOC Resins (Collierville, Tenn.) over the plugs to create the forms, adding reinforcing ribs of standard 2x lumber on the reverse side to stiffen the large mold surfaces. A total of 16 subforms were pulled from the plugs for the two columns and three arches. Flanges were integrally molded into each subform to facilitate assembly, and finished forms were wet-sanded and buffed to meet requirements for a smooth concrete finish. The finished subforms were assembled at MFG's facility to ensure accurate fit, then disassembled and shipped to the job site on July 17 this year.
At the site, the forms were bolted together through the flanges. The seams at mating edges were filled with silicone caulk. With rebar in place, forms were filled with self-compacting concrete, which chemically optimizes air release to ensure a smooth finish.

As part of a campaign looking at the trends impacting procurement in 2020, Procurement Leaders has invited a number of thought leaders to provide their insights throughout a range of different areas.
In this guest post, David McClintock, marketing director at EcoVadis, looks at the progress businesses have made in adapting to a more sustainable, purposeful approach to supply chains and asks where procurement teams might focus their efforts to bring about the next change.
If you would like to hear more from Procurement Leaders on trends shaping the function in 2020, including sustainability, tune into our 2020 CPO Trends webinar.
Within the last 12 months, there have been numerous 'corporate movements' in which CEOs and board members have committed to step up and incorporate social purpose into their business models.
This trend accelerated in March 2019 in March when a growing number of signatories committed to the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) around sustainable and responsible business. According to a report on the UNGC principles, companies that have committed to the UNGC demonstrate better sustainability performance than those that have not. Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, has written multiple open letters to all existing and potential companies in which he could invest, saying they must take into account their organisation's social impacts. Most recently, 180 CEOs from the Business Roundtable made a public statement regarding corporate commitments to sustainability, followed by a similar one from the Forbes Sustainable 100. As interest peaks for businesses to commit to a greater purpose for society, we are seeing a deep surge in corporate soul-searching.
We've made a commitment, now what?
This year's third edition of the Global CSR risk and performance index illustrates numerous opportunities for procurement chiefs to drive impact across the supply chain.
Sustainable procurement is a key pillar for purposeful business and aligning related programmes to strategies beyond compliance, metrics, improvement and innovation brings an enduring advantage to those that succeed at it. The index provides business leaders with current regional and industry standings regarding their commitments to sustainable procurement, and helps organisations find places to grow and improve their business models moving forward.
Where do industries stand as of now?
The index offers a comprehensive snapshot across nine industry divisions, as well as performance comparisons by company size and region. Results are based on 40,000 scorecards that cover the themes of environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement across 21 sustainability criteria. It was found in this year's index that:
Access the full report in the Procurement Leaders Marketplace.
What does this mean for procurement teams?
The roadmap to sustainability starts with the supply base. Procurement teams should be constantly engaging their suppliers and working with them to assess progress, create frameworks and implement policies that encourage sustainable commitments.
The use-cases for the sustainability ratings on which the index is based are broadening – not only among supply chain trading partners, but also banking, commercial lending and supply chain finance, as well as numerous awards. The results of this year's index show there is an opportunity to improve sustainability throughout the supply chain. The responsibility falls on procurement leaders to lead the charge toward overall improvement.

According to fashion sources, chrome nails are taking the spotlight. And yes, it's no doubt that chrome is one of the latest nail trends to hit the fashion industry this year – and it's here to stay. As a matter of fact, the popularity of chrome nails has increased by a massive 570 percent!
Unlike your basic shiny nail art, chrome nails acquire their shiny appearance from loose pigment. This is as opposed to the traditional nail art design which focuses on the use of polish. As a result, you get an intense sheen that looks as if you've installed mirrors on the tip of your fingers.
Why is the Trend So Popular?
While nail bracelets were expected to take the nail fashion industry by storm, it appears that chrome nails have taken its spot instead. These so-called "mirror manicure" or "mirror nails" were able to capture the attention of a lot of gurus all around the world. It's also worn by various celebrities such as Sonakshi Sinha.
One of the reasons behind the popularity can be attributed to the use of gorgeous and shiny colors.
Some opt for dark grey or lilac colors for that mirrory effect. Although these mirror nails aren't as shiny and functional as a mirror, they do give you that modern and futuristic luster that you'd like to wear for days or even weeks.
However, a chrome manicure is not to be confused with a metallic nail polish. According to Ratna Gupta, a nail trainer at MyGlamm, a chrome nail art design aims to achieve a futuristic look with the use of a highly pigmented silver powder. As such, you can expect a chic and fashionable appearance through the use of stunning and shiny colors.
Since the appearance that chrome nails give is shiny and varies depending on your skin tone, you should be careful in choosing which color to apply on your nails.
This latest trend can be got done at any nail salon near you. Contact us at 011-39595984 and our executives will find you the best deal near you.

"The irony of life is that it is lived forward but understood backward." Soren Kierkegaard
It is true, we experiment, we guess, we hypothesize, but ultimately we learn through our mistakes, reflections and experiences. As teachers reflective practice is incredibly valuable but we must think about the future by asking ourselves 'so what?' in order to make best use of our reflections and attempt to 'understand forward' as much as is possible.
Following on from my cluster's professional learning focus last year on visible learning and teaching in reading, I identified that I had elements of visible learning and teaching that were having a positive impact within my classroom but in order to achieve strong visible learning and teaching I had to re-think how I planned and delivered my lessons. Now, I attempt to focus more time on the thinking of 'why', 'how' and 'what if' during planning, teaching and learning rather than just delivering teaching and providing feedback. The feedback I get from pupils is more positive when lessons are delivered in this way as they find them more engaging and enjoyable and also feel a sense of accomplishment as they are aware of what they have learnt, why they have learnt it, how well they have done and what they need to do in order to improve. With this deeper learning I observe that the pupils are able to apply this learning to other contexts and challenges and the language they use around this is more confident and succinct.
From further reflections after reading about the work of Hattie and Loughran I have identified 3 bits of learning to take forward –
- The time spent on visible learning and teaching is valuable and although I am constantly tempted to skip the discussion time in order to keep up with expectations of pace of work set by my school, I need to remember that the pace of work is not worth anything without visible learning and teaching, as the learning will end up being re-visited at another point.
- I am more confident with visible learning in literacy and social studies curricular areas and need to start applying this thinking to learning and teaching in numeracy and science. I plan to read work from 'Jo Boaler' to support this.
- I need to use the skills of the pupils in providing feedback to one another as the feedback will be useful in itself but the act of providing real, evidenced feedback will make learning more visible for the pupils.

NYPD officers are arresting people for carrying condoms
by Monica Cruz
Web Editor
Contradicting New York City's huge attempt to promote safe sex among its inhabitants, a widely used NYPD practice is doing nothing to encourage the use of condoms. Being the first city to create its own condom, NYC has poured millions into funding the NYC Condom initiative in a citywide effort to promote protected sex. The city gave out 35.5 million free condoms to its citizens, even creating the free NYC Condom smart phone app which directs users to the nearest five free condom distribution centers. But as the city attempts to make it rain condoms in chic wrappers, the NYPD seems to be arresting those who carry them.
According to the New York Department of Criminal Justice Statistics, 4,054 arrests were made for prostitution-related reasons in 2011. Unsurprisingly, judges have thrown out prostitution cases using the "evidence" that the accused was carrying condoms. In January 2011, a case like this was brought to the Midtown Community Court. When the Assistant District Attorney attempted to use the possession of a single condom as evidence of prostitution, Judge Richard Weinberg stated that, "I find no probative value at all in finding a condom . . . In the age of AIDS and HIV, if people are sexually active at a certain age and they are not walking around with condoms, they are fools." Sex workers are arguably the most susceptible population to giving and receiving sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS, so why is the NYPD punishing them for protecting themselves and others?
One may think that the Department of Health would play a major role in ending this ridiculous practice, but so far it has only made one attempt to investigate this issue with a study conducted three years ago. In December of 2010, the Department of Health made the questionable decision of not releasing the results from a joint study to determine the public health impact of using condoms as a reason for arrest. The PROS (Providers of Resource Offering Services to sex workers) Network and the Sex Workers Project joined to pursue the study, redoing it in 2011. Human Rights Watch requested access to the results from the study and released them in April of 2012. Unsurprisingly, 57% of those studied had condoms confiscated by the police and about 45% said they have not carried condoms at least once because it can be used as basis for arrest. A pending bill in the New York State Legislature would take away the police's ability to make arrests for prostitution on the basis of carrying condoms. First introduced in 1999 by state Senator Velmanette Montgomery, the bill has died in the legislature every year since. The release of the results of the study by the Department of Health has garnered a push for the bill, now called the "No Condoms as Evidence Bill." If passed, sex workers will no longer be hesitant to carry condoms for fear of arrest.
Without a doubt, the NYPD's ability to use condoms as the basis for arrest can only do harm to the people of New York. Apprehending prostitutes is in accordance to New York Sate law on sex work, but using condom possession as a shred of evidence against those suspected of prostitution is a ridiculous idea. This practice discourages prostitutes from carrying condoms, therefore encouraging the spread of STDs and HIV/AIDS. Regardless of the illegality of prostitution, every person has the right to take the necessary precaution in protecting one's own health. Though the city provides ample access to condoms, the right to use birth control is being blatantly threatened by the NYPD. If NYC hopes to continue leading the way for government-sponsored safe sex advocacy, eradicating a practice that discourages safe sex would be a very wise choice.

We stayed at an amazing house high in the hills called the Goat House (La Chambre de la Chevre)-a place with no electricity, one room in which we all sleep on the floor and a river for a fridge. We walk and talk for four days.
Men on mountains started with the desire of three men to be both accountable and faithful with the lives they had each been given. One of them has this quote by Albert Schweitzer on the wall opposite his desk.
"I resolved to make my life the argument"
They concluded that if they had agreed to meet in a monastic retreat house in Kidderminster they would never bother. My college accountability group has never met and my prayer triplet meets infrequently.
They believe men need to do active things. The disciples seems to have done things on the move. So they decided on mountains. They decided too that they would each be able to ask two friends the others didn't know.
So, with a few resignations we are now seven and our books are closed. Four Vicars, two Doctors and one friend runs a large Christian Charity.
Each of us know that once a year we will sit before our friends and tell the story of our lives in the year that has past. This years haphazard categories were: Home and Family, Work, God, Sin and for some 'Hopes and dreams". There are no 'no-go' areas. We listen, cross examine intensely and then we pray.
One of our number concluded his time in the hot-seat saying "I want you all to carry my coffin if I die". We were all moved.
There was some debate but we think we are in year 8 and we intend to keep going as long as we can all walk.
Feel warmly invited to steal this model of accountability because it is proving to be an extraordinary blessing.

We often hear about conflict of interest. It is a motive to take advantage of a particular situation where one wants to take the cake and eat it too, so to speak.
Imagine a lawyer, assigned to argue a case in court. He defends it to the best of his abilities but lost. He files a motion for reconsideration to sway the judges' original decision to his favor.
Lo and behold, the same lawyer is suddenly appointed to be a judge of the same case he lost defending while the motion for reconsideration is passed to another lawyer to handle. What is the chance that the original decision will be overturned?
If you think this situation happens only in the imagination of writers, watch and listen to the news and you will be astounded by the absolute 'in your face' insult to the intelligence of ordinary people.
Oh, the powers…

Sadly, bears are still being illegally caged and farmed for their bile for alleged medicinal purposes. While some progress has been made by governments to stamp out the practice, an underground trade continues to exist.
Tuffy, a black Asiatic bear, was rescued from one of these farms in September last year by animal welfare group Animals Asia. When Tuffy was rescued, he was suffering from numerous health issues including cracked paws and his gall bladder was so damaged it had to be removed.
But like the name suggests, Tuffy is one tough cookie and, as you can tell from footage shared on YouTube, is well on the road to recovery.
Stepping outside for the first time since he was rescued, Tuffy heads straight for the pool where he immediately starts splashing about like a kid on the first day of summer.

How to get the jump on your sister Oscar nominees? Host Saturday Night Live – and come out punching.
That was Jennifer Lawrence's modus operandi this weekend, with the Silver Linings Playbook's Best Actress contender taking good-natured swipes at her competition during her silver-tongued opening monologue on the NBC comedy show.
About Jessica Chastain, she said: "In Zero Dark Thirty you caught Bin Laden. So what? In Winter's Bone I caught a squirrel, and then ate it."
Naomi Watts: You were in The Impossible. You know what else is impossible? You beating me on Oscar night."
Quvenzhané Wallis, the 9-year-old nominee for Beasts of the Southern Wild: "You think you can beat me? [In best Gary Coleman voice] 'What you talkin' 'bout, Wallis?' Also, the Alphabet called. It wants its letters back."
And Emmanuelle Riva, from the French film Amour: "An 85-year-old French lady. Um, yeah, I think I can take you."
Also in line for ribbing by the rest of the cast on the show, which featured The Lumineers as the musical guests, were disgraced athlete Lance Armstrong (played by Jason Sudeikis), reputed hoax victim Manti Te'o (Bobby Moynahan), outspoken Golden Globes honoree Jodie Foster (Kate McKinnon) and the scowling, Globes party-pooper Tommy Lee Jones (Bill Hader).
Though not personally at the end of a satirical sharp stick, Lawrence did tip her hat to her Hunger Games persona Katniss Everdeen by participating in a mock Post-Hunger Games press conference.
The running gag was how could Katniss go for Peeta (played by Taran Killam) because he's so short. The gamers were also asked if they used performance-enhancing drugs.

My husband just told me that the Olympics will finally end today. I kissed him. After all, sometimes the messenger should get some of the credit. After weeks of having to watch CBS This Morning instead of the Today Show, I am ready to watch Matt Lauer again without having to listen to endless "news" about this glorified dog and pony show.
Yes, I know I could be shot for being honest about my feelings about the Olympics. The normal 'Merican thing to do is to wave the flag and shout, "Go USA!! WOOOOOOO!" I'm not a normal 'Merican, so I'm going to openly announce my disdain for the Olympics.
I see the Olympics as a huge waste of time, money, and energy. This is the same way I see professional sporting events of all kinds. No, I'm not just upset that the Today Show has been taken over by endless Olympic drivel. There's a bigger picture here, as big as the entire world.
Olympic athletes spend years training to become the best in their specific sports, and they are the best. They are strong, disciplined, and fast. I am impressed with their physical abilities and their determination. At the same time, I see that ability as being wasted.
Imagine what could happen if they took all of that strength and actually did things to help others, rather than earn pretty medals. So, instead of competing in the Olympics, maybe all of these super strong, talented people could build roads in Rwanda, or help to dig wells in areas without water. Seriously, there are people in the world who are lacking food and clean water, and we are funneling time, energy, and a huge amount of cash to a show. That is what it is, a big show.
Another reason that I don't care for the Olympics is that it promotes nationalism. Everyone is rooting for his or her own country, instead of rooting for the whole world. We are so focused on how many gold medals "our team" has that we forget that we are all in this together, or at least we should be.
So, I am not going to miss the Olympics, not one little bit. I will now prepare myself for the only thing that irritates me more than the Olympics — football season.

Christine Needham – who has spent the last 25 years desperately searching for her grandson on the island of Kos – even passed out in the road as she realised the tiny toddler was probably dead.
Christine had already started looking for 21-month-old Ben when his mum, Kerry, came home from her shift as a waitress.
She told the Mirror she began shouting at her daughter: "I've lost Ben, I've lost him."
Kerry, 43, replied: "Mum, he's not lost. Don't worry. We'll find him."
But panic and fear set in as day turned into night and all hope faded into grief.
Christine said: "As darkness set in, the fear set in.
"We looked like skeletons.
"It was complete numbness caused by unbelievable horror."
It all finally became too much for Christine when police began searching a pile of earth near a house in Iraklis a few days later.
She says: "I collapsed in the road. We were completely exhausted by then.
"My legs went to jelly.
"I screamed, 'Find him, please', then passed out."
She says the family's hopes were raised by police who regularly claimed to have leads about "a little blonde boy", only to be dashed when they turned out to be false.
Cops scouring Kos have uncovered as many as 10 children's bodies and 60 "items of interest" – but are yet to find the little lad.

Another interesting piece from the South Side Journal -- 20th Ward Alderman Craig Schmid has budged a bit on his "Dry Ward" stance. Instead of the original 50 percent food-sales requirement in order to serve alcohol, he now supports a 35 percent rule.
A lot of the present controversy erupted when Steve Smith, owner of the popular Royale bar on Kingshighway, wished to open another bar--this time, no food to be served at all--on a stretch of Cherokee Street within the 20th Ward. Schmid's ordinance prohibited it, and he would not budge, much to the chagrin of the St. Louis community who a) likes to drink, b) likes to drink in interesting settings, and c) likes activity and believes "eyes on the street" will enliven and make the host block more safe.
Critics contended drunks import trash, noise, vandalism, and violence into a neighborhood that does not need any more of those things.
I think Schmid's heart is in the right place, but I also think it's time to let this area mature. Schmid hasn't updated his views on Cherokee Street since the 1980s, when its decline began. Today, Cherokee is a dynamic, but struggling district that needs investment like that which Steve Smith is willing to pour in. The new bill sponsored by Schmid is a start.
I do wonder what the actual neighborhood concensus is, however.
What are your thoughts?

Cloud hosting is playing a pivotal role today in serving the growing IT needs of India's 51.2 million strong Small and Medium businesses (SMB) market, of which 50 million are micro enterprises. The MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) sector is the backbone of the Indian economy and today it contributes 37.5% to the country's gross domestic product.
As per some recent industry data, the sector provides employment to 111.4 million people and accounts for more than 40% of India's exports. Government initiatives such as 'Make in India' and 'Digital India' are fuelling the growth of this sector by enabling the development of an efficient business ecosystem.
With the ongoing digital revolution in India, led by the increasing penetration of smartphones and last mile network connectivity, enterprises are now migrating their critical business applications onto their technology infrastructure. As technology has become a strategic priority, it has completely transformed the way businesses are run and operated now.
The amount of data generated today is growing at an astonishing rate, with more and more MSMEs in India going online. With businesses going mobile comes a basic need to access "data on the go". According to industry estimates, we can expect 4300% increase in annual data generation by 2020, of which enterprises will have generated 28 zettabytes and be managing 10.5 zettabytes. This will require good investment in technology, more into storage in order to address the large volumes of data.
In a report by IDC Asia-Pacific Quarterly Enterprise Storage Tracker, India External storage market witnessed a significant 16 percent year-on-year growth and stood at 73.9 million USD in Q3 2015. It further states that the growing volume of data is seen across verticals due to increased adoption of third platform technologies, BC/DR, surveillance and digital transformation are driving storage demand.
Small storage vendors are gaining increased acceptance as they promise better capacity/performance with competitive prices. Major initiatives such as Digital India and Smart Cities will accelerate the storage market growth as various central and state government departments are expected to invest in storage infrastructure in the coming months.
The massive growth of data presents many challenges to the SMBs, one of them being storing and retention of large volumes of data efficiently. In addition, cyber-attacks and natural disasters can lead to IT disaster, crippling SMBs. Hence, data security should be a huge focus for small businesses. With the advent of new technologies like cloud, it is imperative for SMBs to change their approach to IT infrastructure not only to achieve the operational efficiency but to stay relevant and ahead of the competition.
Another important point to note here is that, SMBs should not follow a one size fit all approach and rather take the necessary steps to identify the best cloud computing model and infrastructure that aligned with their business goals and needs. This is where, storage and data management service providers can help with tailor own cloud based solutions that are efficient and cost-effective.
The dynamic scale, performance, and integration requirements of a new set of applications that SMBs are looking to host is forcing a change in what the underlying storage architecture needs to look like and how it functions.
It has been witnessed that adoption and acceptance of Hybrid Flash arrays (HFA) has gained momentum across MSMEs to meet both capacity and performance demands in a single box. Technologies like software defined storage and virtualization are getting increased acceptance to achieve optimization and productivity enhancement.
SMBs need a comprehensive storage portfolio that offers SMBs the broadest choice of flash options from which to architect their new hosting platforms. As SMBs are modernizing infrastructure, they are rapidly shifting direction away from basic IaaS and low-cost, self-service, hourly-billed cloud infrastructure to higher touch, higher value (and higher margin) managed hosting offerings.
As a result, the need for differentiation has never been as important. SMBs have to adapt their business models to support the rapid pace of change, and those who are not agile enough to do so simply won't survive the transition.

A little mechanical ability, a little determination, and a lot of desire led to the transformation of my 1988 XL (bored to 1200 a few years back) to the bike I have always wanted. I bought the Sportster new back in 1988 and have no idea how many miles I have logged. The speedometer/odometer cable was broken through most of the 90s.
I got my first ride on a Harley at about age 5, bought my first Harley at age 13, and have been riding ever since. The only thing was I was never satisfied with the way my bike looked. My poor Sportster has been through so many changes over the years, I doubt it even knows what it is. I've always loved and wanted a chopper. I wanted the old school look like those I had seen growing up, so I decided I would use what I had and build one as close to that look as I could.
I have read article after article about some builders being extremely pleased that they have kept a build like this one under several thousand dollars. When I decided to make the transformation, money was my main concern. Where were all of the hidden costs going to be once I began? Needless to say, I was a little nervous about getting started even though I had done (I believed) a very thorough job of planning and researching.
The number one key I found to keeping the build on a budget was to order parts from several different companies. Most catalogs sell the same parts; most even sell the same brand. But if you pay attention, the prices fluctuate (sometimes substantially) between companies. For example, one company may be cheaper on gas tanks but high on triple trees. The other may be high on gas tanks but lower on triple trees. Take the frame, for instance. I used a Paughco frame, no stretch, with a 35-degree rake. The low-end price I found was $623. The high end was around $1200 for the same exact frame with every price in between.
Approximately 50 hours of work in about 30 days was all that was needed to complete the build. The only modifications to the frame that were needed were for the oil tank and battery tray brackets to be fabricated and welded on. The kickstand and spring mounts (supplied) had to be welded on, and the ignition coil bracket had to be fabricated and welded on as well as a brake caliper mount. I also wanted to use the older two-up seat on the bike, so the single seat bracket that was on the frame had to be removed and a new bracket added. I also chose to add a fork stop instead of going with the internal for budget reasons.
The rear brake caliper mount was my biggest obstacle. Trying to find one that would hold an OEM brake caliper (for me) was impossible (budget again). They make mounts, but that also meant buying a new caliper. I didn't want to spend $300-400 or more for parts when I already had a perfectly good rear caliper. So I bought a stock used caliper mount for $20, pulled out my angle grinder, shaped and polished, fit it and welded a brace mount on the frame. It functioned properly, looked good, and saved a few hundred dollars.
When it came to mounting the front-end, I used my son Nick. He's 12 years old, already mechanically inclined, and loves anything that has a motor. He wanted to help, so I gave him the task of helping me put the front-end on. In no time, with Nick's help, the front-end was in place. The triple trees are CCI wide glide, which I had previously mounted on my Sportster so I could use a 16" wheel. Normally, when you are adding rake, you have to get longer fork tubes. With this set-up, the CCI trees actually raised the front end up because the tubes mount to the bottom of the top tree instead of running through it like the stock trees, so there was no added expense for new fork tubes.
I had my buddy Tim help me remove the 1200 motor from the old frame and place it in the rigid frame. The motor went in to the Paughco frame without a problem. The only things I needed to get were new rear motor mount bolts. The bolts turned out to be way too long when used with this frame.
The rear wheel was then brought in. I purchased a rear axle, used 3/4" axle spacers I had previously purchased when I changed the front-end from narrow to wide glide. The spaces had to be cut, notched, and polished, and the rear wheel was ready to go on.
Once the rear wheel was in place, the 6" flat fender was positioned for fitting. A bottom fender mount had to be fabricated. The mount holes were then drilled into the fender and the chain path was measured and cut out of the fender for clearance. The bolt holes for the seat were drilled and the seat was added along with the sissy bar.
Now, with the bike all but built, minus the fuel tank, it was time to run the brake wiring. I used most of my original wiring harness. The stock headlight was replaced with a tree-mounted chrome 6" headlight, so all of the wiring mess that was stuffed into the stock headlight had to be re-done. This task, for me, was the most tedious. I clipped all of the plastic connectors and reconnected the ends, which took out most of the bulk. I relocated the flasher underneath where the gas tank would sit and ran the wiring from the handlebar controls through my 18" rise ape hangers. I decided to keep turn signals on my bike for safety reasons (personal preference). I'm willing to give up a little cool to hopefully keep from getting run over from behind, which seems worth it to me.
With all of the wiring in place, it was time for the gas tank. I decided on a King Sportster tank for mileage reasons. I positioned the tank to sit up high on the back bone, drilled the mount holes and bolted it on. I also decided on the bigger tank because it is longer and covers up more of the exposed backbone of the bike, which makes the lines flow more smoothly.
After all of the parts were in place and the bike was complete, everything was checked and rechecked for fit. The bike was then torn apart and the prep work for paint began.
Now it was time to get to the part I was comfortable with—the paint job. Basic black with skull and Maltese cross graphics for the tank. Having my own paint shop saved me a chunk off the final price of approximately $1750.
Since the build has been completed, I have had two problems with the bike. Neither was associated with any aspect of the build. The trouble was associated with the age of the motor and parts. 1) The stator had to be replaced due to a broken wire inside the case and 2) The cam follower in the tranny broke and had to be replaced.
So, six months and approximately1600 miles later, my first (and probably only) build seems to be a success and I have the bike I have always wanted.
Some advice to anyone wishing to take on the task of building their own bike: Remember, I am your average, everyday Joe. I wanted it, I researched it, and with no special tools, I built it! You can too…On a budget!

Dog snatched from Detroit yard
Since she was adopted as a stray in 2015, Totem Crow has rarely strayed far from her owner.
Marlena Hanlon often took the pug mix while rehabbing homes for the nonprofit she works with. So last week, while at a property the group is overhauling not far from their residence in southwest Detroit, she let the pet frolic outside another house they're renovating two doors down in the 1200 block of Hubbard.
A neighbor usually eyes the nearly 4-year-old playful pooch at such times, Hanlon said. But at about 1:50 p.m. May 7, Totem had someone else watching, her owner and police say.
A surveillance camera captured a woman in a pink hooded sweatshirt entering the front yard, removing a leash on the porch then using it to escort the canine out, investigators said in a statement.
Now, city authorities are seeking tips from the public to find the woman accused of taking Totem. And her owner is working to spread the word through Facebook and Craigslist to ensure she's returned.
"We want her back," Hanlon said.
Hanlon immediately thought something was amiss when she returned from her work to find the gate open and leash missing. She asked a neighbor who's taken a liking to the pup if they went for a walk, then frantically scoured the neighborhood to see whether Totem scampered away.
Later, when reviewing footage from the cameras her group installed at its properties, Hanlon spotted the woman entering the yard, petting Totem, then leaving. "I felt like somebody punched me," she said.
In a statement Thursday, Detroit police acknowledge it's possible the woman "thought that the dog was abandoned."
But Hanlon wonders why she failed to recognize the significance of Totem's Detroit seat belt collar and Michigan Humane Society tattoo, a nod to where the dog was first found.
"They should be clear she has a home where she's loved," Hanlon said.
The woman is described as white, age 50-60, with shoulder-length blonde hair. She left the scene in a white SUV, possibly a 2003-04 Chevy Suburban, with a young girl who wore her blonde hair in a ponytail.
Totem is described as a 22-pound pug mix with a unique brindle coat, curly tail, MHS tattoo, dark snout and a white shield or heart on her chest.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Detroit Police Department's 4th Precinct Unit at (313) 596-5440 or (313) 596-5400.

Mary Maples Dunn—who served as the Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation Director of the Schlesinger Library from 1995 to 1999—died on March 19. A renowned scholar of American history, she was also a talented administrator who led Radcliffe during its 1999–2000 merger with Harvard, as both acting president of Radcliffe College and then as acting dean of the Radcliffe Institute. She was president of Smith College from 1985 to 1995. Dunn began her career at Bryn Mawr, where she earned her doctorate and stayed on to teach. In all her roles, she was an ardent advocate of women's education.
"Mary's way of leadership inspired confidence and insisted on the highest standards of scholarship and programming," said Lizabeth Cohen, dean of the Radcliffe Institute. "But she did it with a sparkling personality and a twinkling eye."
When Dunn was hired to lead the Schlesinger, Anne Firor Scott, a pioneer in the field of American women's history who chaired the library's search committee for a new director, told the Harvard Crimson, "[Dunn] is an expert on colonial women's history; she and her husband have edited the papers of William Penn; and she's a wonderful person."

2011 was a tumultuous year in terms of social protest movements. The Occupy movement spread across the globe with unprecedented support of an enormity not seen since 1968, while revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Syria and Libya caught the attention of the global media and brought the word "revolution" back into public discussions on social justice and governance. For many people worldwide, it appears that it is time for social, political and economic change. And it is precisely time, in all its forms, which cannot be ignored in this context. As something that surrounds us and affects every aspect of our lives, time is at once a tool for control, for order, for emancipation, for understanding the future and the past, and measuring degrees of freedom and quality of life in the present.This book brings together essays from fields such as politics, cultural studies and philosophy in order to reinterpret and reorient current thinking on the possibilities for new understandings of concepts of time to bring about social change. History as the passing of time, clock time, the exchange value of time, qualitative time, and alternative or marginal notions of temporality are analysed through the lens of various theoretical thinkers and applied to a multitude of political and social case studies. Breaking away from traditional notions of time as linear, and against common socially-constructed understandings of time, these essays suggest that new conceptions of time can have a major influence on creating a more just, tolerant world.

Saturday there was a doctor at the hospital.
At work at 6pm on a Saturday night. Looking tired, beaten down. Having a discussion with his wife on the phone. Deciding on pizza toppings. Not an argument, per se, but more thought and effort than it should have taken to decide against spinach.
They're both being noncommittal; she, knowing he's tired, not wanting to add more stress, he, just wishing that someone else would make a decision, just once.
They decide on cheese, pepperoni, and chicken and pineapple. I wonder how many kids are at home, waiting for their dad.
His light blue scrubs are wrinkled as he sits and dictates his report. There's a big sigh when he can't find the chart.
The huge stack of pre-made flashcards. To become board certified, just general surgery, he explains to the nurse. And this is just half of them.
"Well maybe that's why you look so tired."
He doesn't say anything, as there really isn't a response to this.
I watch him check something on his phone, wondering if it's worth it.
Do they pay him enough, to make up for the long, exhausting days? All that time away from your family?
And more than that--is it worth it?
Dedicating your career, your life, really, to helping other people. Learning and teaching and caring. Knowing that no matter how many times you run through those flashcards, you'll never know it all. You'll make a mistake, a costly one, at some point.
Is it worth it?
