A Hertfordshire-born Business, Clarity and Success Coach, who works with people globally, is celebrating becoming a bestselling author for the second time this year. After already becoming a number one bestselling author earlier this year when she co-authored ' You Are Meant For More', Alison is celebrating again this week, as the guidebook she has spearheaded has become a bestseller on Amazon book charts within hours of its release.
'The Conscious You' has been created as a tool to support the reader in consciously creating their best life, through connecting to 'The Conscious You' – the book went straight in at Number 1 on the Amazon bestseller charts in; #1 in Spiritual Gifts (Kindle Store), #1 in Women's Spirituality and #1 in Inspirational Spirituality - sitting alongside The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom!
The book starts by helping the reader understand subconscious programs, values and beliefs and is designed to get people thinking, to self-enquire, and to learn how to consciously create wants and desires. It was spearheaded by Global Business, Clarity and Success Coach, Alison Callan and features 6 inspirational insights, Alison said: "Each one of the authors (including myself) has written from our hearts to the readers with the intention of reminding each and every one of you of your power, purpose and inner wisdom.
Throughout the book there are opportunities and tools that the reader can use to become awakened to a more consciously created life and the reader will be shown and supported in how to take ownership of their choices. The book touches upon a range of subjects; from Alison's journey of discovery and her awakening that she had more to give to Carey bravely sharing her emotional story of loosing her husband to Leesa's chapter on managing anxiety and championing anxious entrepreneurs... Alison continues: "This book celebrates and champions all - You already have within you the power to transform and consciously create your best life. Your Conscious Mind believes in you (and so do we), so let's turn up the volume and start consciously creating!"
Alison Callan, aged 39, has written about creating awareness for creating our best lives through connecting with "The Conscious You". Having used this method herself to ensure her own happiness and fulfilment in her life, she is looking to help others globally in changing their lives in the same way. Alison has said that ' Consciously Creating' wasn't always her plan. For years she was unaware that she wasn't living a full life. Despite having dreams there was no real idea of how these could be put into practice. She said: "I had no understanding that it was my responsibility to make things happen, to be conscious with the decisions I made, the actions I took, knowing that these decisions were connected and leading me towards my happiness and success."
It was only after becoming a mum, and starting a family that things changed for Alison. At this point she was working a regular nine to five job corporate job. She appeared to be living the dream, with an amazing family and lifestyle. Despite being generally satisfied by all this, Alison describes having a 'deep yearning' to do more in the world outside her motherhood aspirations that she was building. "I realised that I was barely living, rather I was, 'going through the motions'. I would have moments of feeling satisfied for a short while from small wins at work, there was always this feeling, a knowing, a need, to do and be more that never went away completely."
Feeling like there was more to her existence from a young age, it was only when becoming a mum she 'awoke' the need to take action and be an inspiration for others. Alison continues: "I know I am not alone in this journey, nor do I believe that I am the only one who has kept that secret feeling of knowing they were meant to do and be more in the world. I know that you too have been looking around those corners seeking for understanding and purpose, that elusive something more."
Having spent so many years sacrificing her own happiness for the next promotion at work, Alison began to realise that life and happiness shouldn't be based on the perception of others and how successful she appeared to them. But instead, she realised that her happiness, freedom and relationships were a success in their own right.
The kindle version was released this week and has already gone bestseller and a paperback copy is also available.
Alison Callan continues; "I am delighted to see that this book has become a best-seller – publishing it was a dream come true and to see it fly up the book charts is just phenomenal.
"I was passionate about bringing this book into existence with the help of some of my amazing clients who have actively gone on their own exploration of awakening their most conscious selves - an awakening that has allowed them to uncover their purpose, and in the process has allowed them to create their best lives and businesses. As a result, they have some incredible insights to share with you. Working with these women while they uncovered their purpose, passion and key messages consciously has been an absolute privilege, and I cannot wait to celebrate with them all."
To celebrate the launch of this book, Alison is offering her MINDSET PATHWAY for free you can access this via https://www.alisoncallan.com/the-ultimate-3-in-1-mindset-and-planning-tool-that-every-aspiring-entrepreneur-needs/ - Also, if you use #THECONSCIOUSYOU hashtag on social media you get access to the bonus interviews with the authors in a mini series.
The book has been published by the award winning team at Authors & Co, who work to showcase and celebrate empowering stories of women. Founder Abigail Horne said: : "The Conscious You – is an absolute gem of a book! The contribution from each of the Authors is exceptional and the information and knowledge they share is thought provoking for anyone who has experienced similar circumstances. I saw myself in more than one of the chapters and it has left me feeling uplifted, that I am not alone in the way I perceive things, and I will certainly be reading it again, more than once. It is one of those books that you hold onto as a "go to" guide for life. It will become that book I reach for when I need that push in the right direction. My heartfelt congratulations to each and every one of the Authors who shared their stories, your words will help many."
Abigail continues: "At Authors & Co we work with entrepreneurs who want to make an impact through leaving their legacy and the audience we serve are those with inquiring minds, keen to drink in information, and learn from others' experiences. Our authors always lead their readers to reflect on their own lives and if aligned, make use of the teachings to move forward themselves". Authors&Co has already changed the lives of many entrepreneurs from around the world, having helped 100+ globally to become best-selling authors this year alone, whilst reaching millions of readers worldwide.

Enterprise service bus. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Pour les articles homonymes, voir ESB. L'enterprise service bus (ESB) est une technique informatique intergicielle. Son but est avant tout de permettre la communication des applications qui n'ont pas été conçues pour fonctionner ensemble (par exemple deux progiciels de gestion intégrés provenant d'éditeurs différents). Roy Schulte de la société Gartner inc, en fait la description suivante : « L'ESB est une nouvelle architecture qui exploite les services web, les systèmes orientés messages, le routage intelligent et la transformation. L'ESB agit comme une colonne vertébrale légère et omniprésente de l'intégration à travers laquelle les services logiciels et les composants applicatifs circulent ». L'ESB peut être considérée comme une nouvelle génération d'intégration d'applications d'entreprise (EAI) construite sur des standards comme XML, Java Message Service (JMS) ou encore les services web.
Les principes[modifier | modifier le code] Terminology - Difference Between ESB and EAI. Difference between SOA, EAI and ESB. Difference between SOA, EAI and ESB This was second time when I got into a debate with some senior architects in Bank about the core differences in SOA, EAI and ESB (First one was really drastic in San Francisco over dinner when I was half drunk with more than a couple of litres of beer) Now with no beer today, let me see if I can try to point some good difference between EAI & ESB and perhaps SOA as all this is closely tied together while explaining how they are linked to each other too.
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is an approach is to have software resources available (& discoverable) on network as independent services and these services should achieve a business objective.

Based on some feedback after my last article regarding using an ESB successfully, as well as reviewing a debate entitled "To ESB or not ESB ... that is the question" on the LinkedIn SOA Special Interest Group, I thought it would be useful to discuss ESB and EAI technology. EAI, or enterprise application integration, technology was around long before the term ESB was coined.
These technologies were intended to provide a means for managing the point-to-point integration sprawl that was occurring as connections between disparate systems were becoming increasingly important. My advice is two-fold: Understanding Enterprise Application Integration - The Benefits of ESB for EAI. In today's enterprise infrastructure, system and application integration is more and more frequently a mission critical concern.
The wide variety of approaches and ideologies aimed at achieving this goal are proof of this fact. When you're just getting started researching application and data integration solutions, it's easy to get lost in a sea of acronyms, opinions, and confusing marketing language. Rapid advancements in EAI technology to meet the increasing demand for integration in the enterprise often results in arguments about what EAI is or isn't, or how the small differences between one proprietary approach or another make it the only viable solution. In this article, we'll clear up the confusion, with an easy to understand, clearly organized look at the evolution of EAI. Table of Contents I. A. B. II. A. B. III. A. B. C. I.

We had computer-based training overcome by e-learning which is being made obsolete by blended learning which nowadays is replaced by technology-enhanced learning. Each term stresses a different part of the story and tools are enhanced over time, nevertheless there are great similarities. The same is true in the systems integration business. We have enterprise application integration (EAI) as probably the oldest term, service-oriented architecture (SOA) as a very general approach and the more recent enterprise service bus (ESB) and business process management (BPM) terms. But which is what and how are they different?
As I did one of the first Microsoft Biztalk projects in Germany back in 2000/2001, the term EAI is very natural to me. The flexible orchestration of Web services is often called business process management. So far for the easy part.

"Integrated Industry" at HANNOVER MESSE 2013 illustrates the vital role played by the global subcontracting industry in the planning and production processes of its customers. The supply industry offers vital components and innovative processes for every stage of the industrial supply chain. Precisely tailored to customer requirements, smart components and systems can be intelligently integrated into the production process. Subcontractors and suppliers will be showcasing their solutions and services to the international audience at Industrial Supply from April 8-12, 2013. Visitors can expect an impressive overview of applications and task-oriented products and technologies.
Optimized exhibition layout links themed displays and facilitates networking
The new layout of Industrial Supply, with core segments concentrated in specific halls, coupled with the benefits of being located in closer proximity to the related displays of surface treatment and green technologies, will ensure better industrial networking. Thematic interfaces will be clearer as next year's event sees two key related displays relocated in direct proximity to the supply industry. With Surface Technology in Hall 3 and IndustrialGreenTec in Hall 6, exhibitors can expect more traffic and business leads. Similar spin-off benefits will also be provided by Research & Technology, which remains in its former location in Hall 2.
The new exhibition layout means that the route followed by visitors around Industrial Supply starts in Hall 4 with displays focusing on solid forming and sheet metal forming, machined components, systems and sub-assemblies. Hall 5 is dedicated to casting products, latches and locking systems, operating elements as well as fastening techniques. Displays of industrial materials, materials technology and know-how, including joining and adhesive bonding technology, will be grouped together with lightweight construction in Hall 6. At the southern end of Hall 6 the subcontracting and supply industry will interface with IndustrialGreenTec and a broad display of environment-friendly technology for industry.
"Exhibitors and visitors alike will derive considerable added value from the new exhibition layout of Industrial Supply and the close proximity to the related future-oriented themes of surface treatment technology and green technology. Trade visitors will be able to move quickly between the different display categories housed in Halls 3 to 6 and gain a direct impression of the entire production chain – for example, how outsourced components are manufactured using innovative green materials and then finished using the latest surface treatment technology. HANNOVER MESSE thus covers every stage of industrial production and with its focus theme "Integrated Industry" offers key benefits along the whole production chain. Only by improving networking and optimizing the transfer of data and know-how can the diverse sub-sectors achieve a positive result and maximize cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency", explains Oliver Frese, Senior Vice President of HANNOVER MESSE at Deutsche Messe AG.
Themed parks augmented by expert and discussion forums
Industrial Supply is acknowledged as a global sourcing event. The wide-ranging exhibition is augmented by various themed parks and special events, which provide more opportunities to present new products, make new contacts and exchange know-how and information. The theme parks "gegossene Technik", "Latches, locking systems and operating elements", "Solid forming", "SystemPartner", "Engineering Ceramics" and "WeP – Value-adding Partner ContiTech" attract a lot of attention among visitors, as does the Innovations Center for Engineering Materials and the Lightweight Construction Solutions Area. The Suppliers Convention and the Materials Forum provide a platform where experts can exchange information and professionals engage in discussions – these events thus fulfill an important function that is intrinsic to the trade fair concept.

Marcus Mariota had a day to forget Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel wasn't ready to make a switch at quarterback.
Backup Ryan Tannehill was spotted on the sideline with his helmet on in the fourth quarter, but Vrabel stuck with his starter despite Mariota's lackluster game.
"Not very (close)," Vrabel told reporters when asked if he considered replacing Mariota with Tannehill, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "(Tannehill) just can hear the calls when he puts his helmet on."
Mariota, 25, completed 23-of-40 passes for 304 yards while taking nine sacks. Though the box score suggested a solid effort, the former No. 2 overall pick struggled with accuracy and failed to make a big play.
"I've got to find that out because I can't start games like that," Mariota said of his struggles. "You know, I didn't help our team at all in the first half, didn't give our guys chances to make plays and I felt I need to go out and just muster something together.
"I've got to continue to have that mentality throughout the season and just give our guys opportunities to go make plays."
After dominating the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, Tennessee has lost two straight games, scoring just a combined 24 points in those contests.
The Titans next face the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 4 road tilt.

Jamie + Lauren : 2020 Cousin Visit!
When my cousin Lauren emailed about planning a surprise Orlando trip for Jamie's birthday, it felt like she was giving *us* a present! We counted down the days and minutes with Ollie. Five minutes in to their trip and it was alllllll about Uncle Jamie and "Uncle Lauren." <3 It's been two months since their trip and they're still in his daily conversations! :)
When I decided to make an effort to share more personal photos this year, these guys were a major part of that decision. They're AMAZING wedding photographers in San Francisco, which meant we used their visit as an excuse to sneak in some cute family photos of US! Not only are Jamie and Lauren talented, but like Nate, they're catnip to kids, which meant we even got family photos of Ollie laughing! Co-operating! Who would have thought! <3
Kicking things off with our goodbye cousin selfie, because ummmmm look at Ollie please and thank you.
Jamie hadn't been to the parks in over a decade and it was Lauren's first visit! It was amazing to experience it through their eyes! (Lauren actually gasped when she saw Cinderella Castle and it gave me goosebumps!!)
We told him we were going to see Anna and Elsa so he chose his fancy outfit, bow tie and all. <3
Being a *little* shy after bringing his girls chocolate! :)
Talking their ear off about it being Uncle Jamie's birthday and we made brownies and sang happy birthday and he's over there and has brown eyes and Olaf is not here and where is he and he's gonna come through this door right now and what's Sven doin', and… and! He'd talk to them forever if we let him (from a safe distance, of course.)
I get pooped after social situations too, dude.
He could honestly pass for theirs and it makes me so so happy. <3
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. <3
Me : Hey, Ollie- who do you think you wanna ride Dumbo with? Me and Papa or-
Ollie : UNCLE LAUREN AND UNCLE JAMIE. I RIDE WITH UNCLE LAUREN AND UNCLE JAMIE PLEASE MAMA.
We had a surprise run in happy visit with Alexis and Miranda!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3 <3 <3
Parade Ollie is a liiiiiittle shy but alllllll about forcing Animal to high-five and say hello to everyone! <3
Absolutely exhausted from smiling and waving and I'm here for it!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Also please take note at the difference in my son's facial expressions between this photo and the one of him with US below, lol!
Uncle Jamie and Uncle Lauren, we're counting the days until our next visit!!!!! <3
2019 Tennessee Trip!
Before we became parents, I had dreams of grandeur of blogging monthly personal photos. Every trip being documented within a week of returning from home.
The reality is I'm constantly treading water when it comes to our personal photos. Our bests are *incredibly* patient and never complain about getting our fall trip photos uploaded in March. *facepalm* I go back and forth on whether it's even worth the effort to share them or if it's just wrong to because we're off season. I can't wait until *next* fall to post, because I know I'll have another load of memories I'd rather share but be behind on (and Oliver will be a whole year older!), so I'll end up putting THOSE on the back burner, and the cycle just never ends.
BUT. I've decided this year I'm going to try to share more of these photos, even if we're 6 months behind. Because this was my favorite trip of 2019 and Ollie in Tennessee just warms my heart. <3 And sometimes we get reallllllly cute photos of our favorite people, like this one that just begs to be seen! :)
If you've been following for the past decade, you may remember our best friends who got married in Africa. If you ever wonder what became of them, Lorie and Jon are happily raising their family of chickens in Nashville! We don't get to see them often, but I'm always so happy when we do. <3 <3
All their chickens have fun egg names, like Scrambled, Sunny Side, and Deviled! They're also a few tambourines away from being the chickens belting "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" at the end of Splash Mountain. <3
Ollie is *very* impressed and talks about them often. :)
Every fall or early winter we try to make a trip to Tennessee! I want to raise my Florida boy aware of seasons, and appreciating our favorite place- Dollywood!!
He's already off to a good start and definitely appreciates a good carousel <3
On our way to Dollywood's First Aid for a scary splinter!
Can't you feeeeeel the bravery in this one?! <3
"Pooh Bear, is that you?!"
There is NOTHING like Dollywood at Halloween. We were so happy to share this magic with Tim and John!!
He'll cry when he meets Mickey, but somehow this motley crew wasn't scary to him at all!!
THE table at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort where I filled out our home study papers to adopt!! I'll cry if they ever get rid of this special little corner!
Favorite part of the trip? Nate was taking the above photo of Tim and John when Ollie proudly announced, "I want to take a picture with my uncles." <3 <3 <3
We met this sweet couple taking photos with their phones in wedding attire! Nate made some friends and took some with our camera, too. :)
We loved getting a little taste of fall and can't wait to go back!! <3

Clashes at anti-Berlusconi protestComments
Police have clashed with protesters at a rally outside the villa of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Bottles were thrown as the group broke away from the main march and tried to get to the gates of the house. One policeman is reported to have been hurt and two people arrested.
The protest was organised by a group calling itself the Purple People. They want Berlusconi to resign over allegations that he held sex parties with prostitutes at the villa and had sexual relations with an underage teenager known as Ruby.
One woman said: "Berlusconi is an embarrassment. It would be better if he resigned. He is ruining the image of women, reducing it to nothing, just a body and that is it, no brains. A prime minister they call "papi" should just go away."
With costumes and posters mocking Berlusconi, the protesters are clearly serious in their intention. One banner said: "It is Italy's 150th birthday, Silvio. Give it a present and resign."

I wouldn't. *sigh* I also wouldn't try to represent mixed content in JSON. *shrug* XML namespaces is intended to allow arbitrary mixes of namespaces. It's not much used for that, but that's why it has the complexity that it has, to support the generality that it's supposed to permit. A better solution, in my opinion/experience, would be to design a vocabulary that merges the target vocabularies as needed. As a general rule, XML that rebinds the global/empty prefix is less horrendous than XML that makes extensive use of specific prefix bindings. This isn't the case for things like XML schema, XSLT, and other technologies which were specified in the full flush of Namespaces in XML 1.0. Avoiding namespaces in XML is generally a good thing. For JSON, I'd definitely recommend some solution less painful than one modeled on XML namespaces, if there's a need for it. I haven't seen anyone suggesting such a need, though of course I'm not omniscient on that score. Amy! -- Amelia A. Lewis amyzing {at} talsever.com But pain ... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain? -- Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan [Lois McMasters Bujold, "Barrayar"]

Today we thought we'd use Valentine's Day as an excuse to inspire you to look at reds and pinks in a fresh new way for your home.
Reds and pinks are too often reserved for girls' bedrooms - but these two colours are surprisingly versatile - from sweet and pretty to bold and sophisticated - and can be the perfect choice for a variety of spaces.
In fact, nothing perks up a room like decorating with red or pink, but many are afraid to introduce this powerful colour into their home. Fortunately, there are many creative ways in which you can introduce these shades without feeling overwhelmed.
Of course people also shy away from bold reds and pinks because these colours have a reputation as being very difficult colours to decorate with, often needing upwards of 6 coats to cover. Reds also often don't wear well either, being difficult to clean without leaving a mark.
The good news is that, with Benjamin Moore Aura, you can be sure that it will always cover in two and can be cleaned without marking, for a stunningly beautiful and long lasting finish.

After almost a decade of waiting, finaly some fortunate ones will be able to check on DVD the show that became a classic Iced Earth item, and that was release also in a triple CD. Before watch the DVD it is necessary to say that the american version of DVD has a booklet with the original coments of the triple CD and all lyrics of the 30 song from the show. I will not coment here track by track, because each one of us has our favorite songs and it would be a hypocrisy to try to change the opinion of somebody with some few lines.
In general the DVD has a good quality, in spite of the simplicity of the menu, extras (only eight minutes with Iced Earth backstage stuffs and Jon Schaffer in Atens showing some historical places) and except for the fact that the whole show was recorded with just one camera, the DVD worth for the almost 3 hours of Iced Earth in a excelent show. Mandatory material for the real Iced Earth fans.
The only thing that is unforgivable is that they, again, leave "Colors" out of the DVD. Is there a possibility of Melancholy DVD? There are things that are practically impossiable to be understood, but...

The Norm Stewart Classic featured 47 teams playing 24 games over 48 straight hours. Here are my thoughts on the top players in the games I watched:
2022 6-10 Jevon Porter, Father Tolton – The matchup between the slender, 6-10 Porter and the larger 7-0 Bradford couldn't have been any more intriguing. The contrast in styles was on full display during the second half as the two exchanged buckets, Bradford on the inside and Porter raining 3-ptr from beyond the arc. Porter is still developing, but has a nice foundational skill set that allows him to score from the perimeter, rebound and block shots. Porter scored 17points including 4 of 5 from three.
2021 6-8 Josh Robinson, Cardinal Ritter – Robinson made his presence felt on the boards and on the block. He snatched a total of 12 rebounds, displayed some nice low post moves and recorded a number of second chance points off of offensive put backs. He is a skilled forward that combines a mix of old school back to the basket type moves with contemporary face up perimeter skills.
2021 6-7 Jordan Nesbitt, St. Louis Christian – In a game indicative of his growth from the last season, Nesbitt displayed the ability to sink open shots, but the real eye opener was his playmaking, court vision and passing ability. Nesbitt is a fierce competitor and is lethal in the open court. Jordan's abilities to slash and improved shooting are well known, but I was pleased to get a good look at his passing and playmaking as well. He spent a lot of time in this contest working as a facilitator. In the point guard position, he thrived in the two-man game, pick and roll etc., and used his strong body to attack the paint and make plays. Coaches will be pleased to see his performance in this role. Expect his stock to continue to trend upwards.
2021 6-8 Jaden Jones, St. Louis Christian – As good as the backcourt of Jones and Nesbitt was this weekend, I had to constantly remind myself that the talented guard is new to the SLCA roster and the chemistry is still growing. The upside of this backcourt is scary with Jones in the mix. Jones is an athletic and versatile player that can score buckets by the bunches. Jones can score the ball from different areas of the court. He can sink the three, slash, rebound and defend inside and out. His versatility as a scorer and facilitator will make him an attractive recruiting target. Jones scored a team high 22 points.
2020 6-5 Dylan Branson, Mehlville – Branson's leadership and playmaking ability shined through in this matchup. Branson is a dangerous shooter and solid passer. Branson gave a courageous second half performance that included a little bit of everything, timely passes, made 3FG, playmaking, and powering his way to the rim to finish through contact. Branson finished with 22 points.
2020 6-2 Trey Phipps, Booker T Washington (OK) – Trey Phipps is another Hornets guard that can shoot it from deep. The passionate and fearless guard stepped to the foul line with less than five seconds to play and sank two free throws that sealed the victory for BTW. Phipps finished the game with 16 points including 11 of 11 FTA.

Introduced at this year's SIHH exhibition, Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph World Timer from the new Polaris Collection is the guest of our Hands On corner. Let's take a close look at the new model that attracts attention with being the most complicated model of the new collection.
Well, I guess we wouldn't be exaggerating if we said "Jaeger-LeCoultre stole the show at SIHH 2018". The new Polaris Collection, which we shared a detailed article about before, was highly claimed not only by the watch enthusiasts but the authorities as well.
The new model is offered in a Titanium case measuring 44mm x 12.5mm. Thanks to the lightweight structure of Titanium, the case is comfortable enough to be worn on a daily routine. The crown for the world timer function rests at 10 o'clock while the chronograph pushers and the regular winding crown are located at the right side of the case.
The model is water resistant to 100 meters which is quite a sufficient rating for daily use. Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph World Timer comes on a leather strap but by adding a rubber or a NATO strap, the model can be enjoyed while swimming as well.
With the world timer and chronograph functions in the foreground, the model comes with two different dial options. There is also a black option as an alternative to the blue dial that we have here for review.
The dial is laid-out in Bi-Compax chronograph style with the city names are written on a chapter ring around it. The dial is also equipped with a day/night indicator as well. All indices and hands are white Super LumiNOVA applied for improved legibility at dark. Thanks to Jaeger-LeCoultre's expertise in designing complication timepieces, the dial offers utmost legibility without being too busy.
However, if I had the possibility to make an addition to this model I think I would like a date display. I think that such a model that features functions like world time and day/night indicator should have included a date display as well.
Modeldeki tüm bu işlevler, Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 752 sayesinde hayat buluyor. 41 mücevher kendini saran hareket, 4Hz'de atıyor ve tamamen yaralandığında 65 saatlik güç rezervi sunuyor. Hareket, safir kristal ekranlı kasa arka yüzünden çıkarılabilir.
Model, Titanyumdan yapılmış toka ile sabitlenmiş kahverengi bir deri kayış üzerinde sunuluyor.
Yeni Polaris Koleksiyonu, SIHH 2018 yenilikleri arasında beni en çok etkileyen ürün gruplarından biri haline geldi. Yeni koleksiyonda (diğer Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Memovox ) en sevdiğim modellerden biri olan Chronograph Word Timer, Nisan ayından itibaren butiklerdeki yerini alacak. Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Kronograf Dünya Zamanlayıcı için MSRP 14,299 EURO'dur.

The hidden scale of vulnerable adult abuse can be assessed by tracking individual council's levels of referrals. This is a long term exercise but clicking on the statistics tag will highlight different posts with this information. Register your interest if you would like to be kept informed of this work.
Case Study – Wokingham Borough Council
For instance, 118 paid staff were accused of abusing vulnerable adults in Wokingham Borough Council last year, but only 14 were disciplined. Furthermore referrals to Wokingham Borough Council have increased by 80 per cent to 380 people over the last 12 months. Of these 380 people, 192 were elderly and 152 had a learning disability.
The recorded types of abuse, with some referrals including more than one type of abuse reported, include 181 physical, 106 neglect, 79 psychological, 62 financial, 45 sexual, 17 institutional and four discriminatory. The level of seriousness varies in the cases, however investigations of the reports so far show 55 per cent were substantiated or partly substantiated. The alleged perpetrators include 118 paid staff, with 92 of these working as care staff, some of whom are council staff and others are working for outside organisations in the borough, such as care homes.
However, council figures show just 14 of the 118 staff have been disciplined to date.
The council has put the dramatic increase in referrals down to greater awareness of the types of abuse vulnerable adults can fall victim to and improved reporting mechanisms. Mike Wooldridge, development and improvement team manager for adult social care services at Wokingham Borough Council, explained in some cases staff may have been dealt with in other ways, such as training. He said: "It does look on the face of it that very few people have been disciplined. That might well be the case but it might not always be appropriate to discipline staff, it might be a training issue, they don't necessarily need to be dismissed or disciplined."
Other alleged perpetrators of abuse include 88 vulnerable adults, 65 family members, 37 partners, and 27 friends/neighbours.

"ethereum mining minergate best"
Here in brazil, the prices are abusive, but the power cost is very low, at least 19 Cents a watt. Total Hashrate of the project, 52MH's. In the past months, i'll go for more, buy at least 4x RX480 Custom. Maybe in US, they will cost 230-250US, here, 1400-1700 BRL.
2. PPLNS means payment for the last n shares (Pay Per Last N Shares).This is more a variable number based on the luck of the group. Therefore, if the group is lucky and extracts more blocks in a certain period, you will get a higher payment. Of course, if the mining group has bad luck, you will get a smaller profit. If you are running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and do not log out frequently, you will get approximately 4% more ETH using PPLNS compared to PPS for Ethereum extraction.
Dwarfpool is an Ethereum mining pool that contributes less than 5% of the hash rate power. Although it has declined in its performance, it is still very reliable. It also charges just a percent of the miner's reward, but the downside of using Dwarfpool is that the threshold payout is 1.01 ETH, which means more time before rewards are gotten. It is good for those who have very powerful Ethereum mining equipment.
To monitor your rig, you have two options. You can either log in through SSH or look at the generated stats panel. The stats panel has the advantage that it's a simple web page and you can easily view it from anywhere. SSH poses the advantage, that should you have any issues, you can easily remotely manage the system (as long as you're happy with Linux command line operations).
For the best GPU for mining ethereum, perhaps the Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ Rx 480 8GB Graphics Card should be your next graphics card. You can experience the revolutionary FinFET 14 nm technology within the Sapphire Nitro+ without worrying about consuming a lot of energy, it overheating, or it being too noisy. With this card, you can expect terrific performance per watt results because the numerous custom AMD enhancements this card features, all of which have been applied to a tiny Polaris chip.
Step 7: You need to tell your Geth Program to start communicating with the rest of the Ethereum network. You do this by typing in "geth –rpc" – this should look like "C:\>geth –rpc" (on the latest version you should try: geth –fast –cache=1024) Press enter and the screen should start downloading the blockchain for Ethereum – at this point you are synchronising with the rest of the Ethereum network. This can take a while depending on your internet speed and the current size of the blockchain, anywhere between 20 min and multiple hours. Sometimes your firewall can block this process – just click allow access. Keep this cmd open, you will need this to run in the background in order to be able to mine. Also make sure you start mining only after your blockchain is synchronised, not before. Due to The DAO hard fork you will have to specify if you want to mine on the hard fork chain or on the chain without the hard fork. To mine Ethereum (ETH) use geth –rpc –support-dao-fork in order to mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) use: geth –rpc –oppose-dao-fork
The Mist package contains the Ethereum wallet which you'll need to receive any mining profits. Mist also includes an Ethereum browser with various functions, such as messaging and a social network and tutorials. As a tip, these tutorials and the social network are helpful learning resources. Don't be scared to ask the Ethereals if you're experience difficulty with any part of this process.
There are a number of criteria that should be considered when choosing a pool. First, pay attention to the fee. Then, check where the server is located (the closer the farm is, the more efficient it works). Thirdly, you need to take into account possible ways of withdrawing and the frequency of payments.
When you are considering to join a ethereum mining pool, look for the following elements. First and foremost, one that has low rates but gives reliable returns. Secondly, consider the location of the server when deciding which one is good. The closer your mining rig will be to the server, the easier it will be to mine.
They include the ether earned from all blocks (5 ETH) as well as the rewards. Revenues are easier to calculate after mining since you have all the information. However, a close estimate is possible once you know your hash rate. Note that in pool and cloud mining you might miss out on gas and payments for uncles depending on your contract.
In March this year, the price of ether skyrocketed to an all-time high of about $25. It was a good time for investors in cloud mining ethereum who had seen the currency stagnated below $10 from the time it was launched in July 2015.
GeForce GTX 1070 (Founder's Edition) is the "Pascal"-architecture GPU that people with limited (though still substantial) budgets have been waiting for. This card is based on the same chip as the big-gun flagship GeForce GTX 1080, but it was cut down a bit to make it more affordable.
For me, my aim was to find out more about the Ethereum network as I am a software developer and the possibility of programming smart contracts is like playing with a giant box of Lego Mindstorm, with unlimited pieces.
NiceHash – This isn't exactly an Ethereum mining pool, but I though I'd list it here as another option. Basically, you run the NiceHash miner software and NiceHash mines the current most profitable cryptocurrency on the backend. They payout in Bitcoin.
I've outlined choosing the GPU above. Currently, the RX480s are one of the most popular mining cards, but if you look around the Ethereum Forums, you'll be sure to find plenty of more recommendations.
The Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti remains one of the most powerful graphics cards in the world, and is our recommendation as the best graphics card for 4K gaming. However, as a mining GPU, it is also an excellent choice, but there are a few considerations that prevent it being higher up this list. First of all, it's still an expensive GPU, and the power consumption is high compared to other cards. This means the return on your investment is less, and will take longer to cover your costs. If you don't mind splashing out on this GPU (or you're going to also use it to play games with), then you'll be very happy with the results, especially as with a bit of tweaking you can get a hash rate of 32 mh/s.
So, should you do it? That's entirely up to you! Since GPU mining relies on GPU power, an investment in high end GPUs such as the GTX 1070 or 1080Tis is likely to pay off either through mining profit or via resell value, if things go south. Investing in lower end hardware might seem like a less-risky move from a financial standpoint, as it will imply a lower initial investment, but the return of investment rate and chances are significantly lower.
This mining pool is one of the recommendable Ethereum mining pools for miners. mining Pool Hub was established in October 2014. It was launched as a solo mining pool that was exclusive to its members, but over time, it grew to become a public mining pool. Mining Pool Hub is a pool that does not charge any pool fee. Hence, it is totally free. It has thousands of members currently mining on it. Through its model, members are able to purchase their mining hardware. Members use a part of their mining income to buy more mining power.
Double click your Bat file to start the miner. The miner will start, run the setx commands to set those environment variables, initialize each of your GPU's, build the DAG file on each of your GPU's and start hashing away. Let it run for about 20 seconds and then click "s" to have it show your Hashing speed. You can use that back in the calculator again to determine a more accurate representation of your earnings.
Update, 2/5/2018: We have a new article posted detailing CyptoNote (Monero) mining performance with AMD's Threadripper processor with a CPU-optimized algorithm, alongside a handful of other X86 processors and a powerful GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU.
Your account balance needs to reach 1.01 Ethereum before payout and the pool pays out 6 times per day. Unless you're mining with a powerful mining rig or using multiple miners, you may want to join a pool with a lower payout minimum.
These cards are quite effective when it comes to power consumption and they are long considered the workhorse of GPU mining. The cards from the RX 400 and 500 series feature a really amazing cooling and can boast a performance that ideally matches the initial price, but the time has sadly arrived when the cards from these series must be put out to pasture – at least for Ethereum mining purposes. Yet, you can use an RX 580/570/480/470 only for mining altcoins, but unless you can find them at a good price, you should shun the rip-off prices that sellers often charge for these cards.
To forecast costs for pool mining, sum the projected pool fees, electricity bills as well as installation and hardware costs. For solo mining, you incur electricity costs plus hardware and installation costs. With cloud mining, your costs are condensed into the contract charges. You can predict to a reasonable certainty how much ether you will mine based on your firepower, but there's less certainty on the possible rewards.
An Ethereum mining rig is a configuration of two or more Ethereum mining GPUs. In most cases a rig consists of four or more GPUs. Obviously they're more expensive than one GPU, but they also have far superior hashing power.
You can still reinvest all of that maintenance on the subject of hashflare. That will create you more maintenance and extend the mining accord for choice year for the specific invesment. If you invest for example $15,000 for 100TH/s (100,000 GH/s) in addition to you could earn more later $4241,72 per week after the Week 10 and the initial investment according to the currect bitcoin price that got calculated by preev.

When a website treads water in the vast ocean of the internet for several months with no rescue of new content in sight, it is only natural that its visitor traffic will suffer and sink to an almost nonexistent level, even for a fairly historically-popular site like mine. The Sandwich has surely suffered significant loss of readership during its recent malaise, but hopefully it has been presently retooled and refocused for the better. The question is whether or not anyone will stick around long enough to make that assessment. Bottom line, I'm glad you are here.
Many looky-loos hoping for a good laugh, including my faithful followers, are no doubt wondering about the move away from humor, and the sudden furrowing of my brow in lieu of the usual satirical fare. Is "Angus" in hospital still recovering from an emergency funnybonectomy, perhaps? Or something more sinister?
Alas, the sudden change in tone wasn't an easy choice for me to make. I have been a cartoonist and humor writer since grade school where I first cut my teeth on the funny papers of my youth: copying by freehand the artwork of Charles Schulz's Peanuts, or Alley Oop, Blondie, Little Orphan Annie, Mutt and Jeff, etc. for the amusement of my friends and family. In high school, I was an award-winning editorial cartoonist for my school's newspaper. I drew cartoons for my college paper, and in later years for The Parsons Sun and The Kansas City Star. I was even a freelance gag writer for Hallmark Cards for a very short stint.
The Sacred Sandwich gave me the creative outlet and personal ministry I desired as a newborn Christian around the turn of the 21st century. It helped me to more fully articulate my faith and my various concerns about the seeker-sensitive movement, emerging/Emergent/postmodern church beliefs, and the overall biblical health of the Christian community over the last two decades.
During that heady time I freely interacted with the contemporary American scene, using popular books, movies, and other hip cultural references as a jumping-off point for presenting a humorous critique of the latest trends in Christian thought and practice. In my personal life, I was the typical creative geek and especially a lover of the cinema, enjoying horror and sci-fi movies, classic silent movies, and screwball comedies. My pedigree in pretentiousness was solidified with my specific interest in the silent films of German Expressionism from the 1920s. I mean, come on, who can't appreciate the tyrannical symbolism of the subconcious demand, "Du Musst Caligari Werden!"— am I right? …Anyone? …Oh, well.
As Christian parents, my wife and I raised our daughter with a very deliberate biblical education within our home and at our church home, but we also encouraged her to enjoy those hobbies and cultural interests that we as parents enjoyed ourselves. We let her drink from the well of Disney entertainment, feeling it was friendly to both traditional family values and our Christian sensibilities. We encouraged her to read those classic children's books that we believed reflected a moral or Christian worldview, especially the writings of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Over time, she added books to her own reading list that met our tacit approval, but we had little concern that her less-than-perfect choices could ever undermine her faith as long as she studied her Bible and attended Sunday worship.
Later on, after my daughter left home for college and then onto married adult life, I began to wonder if my family and I had become too immersed in, and affected by, the culture. I saw some early warning signs as my daughter's biblical focus began to incrementally drift away as she entered adulthood, but I also sensed a general drift among other professing Christians, both near and far. And what about me? Had I, the cartoonist, become a caricature of myself, the type of "carnal Christian" at whom I used to poke fun?
At first I resigned myself to the possibility that my conscience was overreacting and becoming a tad legalistic. After all, so many of my Christian friends seemed at ease with their level of engagement with the world and all its seemingly-neutral trappings. Their example of nonchalance tamped down most of my concerns and I spent several months just going with the flow of my peers.
Then something extraordinary happened in the spring of 2016 that challenged the status quo. I came across the published doctoral thesis of Markus Altena Davidsen, titled The Spiritual Tolkien Milieu: A Study of Fiction‐based Religion, a work for which he later received the Gerardus van der Leeuw PhD Dissertation Award for the best dissertation in the study of religion at a Dutch university in 2016. Davidsen, currently an Assistant Professor at Leiden University, was one of the first academics in religious studies to develop a theory of fiction-based religion. In his dissertation, Davidsen offered a comprehensive analysis of "Tolkien spirituality" and found that the supernatural agents in the fictional narratives of J. R. R. Tolkien were written in such a complex way as to cause some readers to believe that these supernatural agents were actually real, and thus presented these readers with a "religious affordance" (or an inviting religious path) to a new paganistic identity outside of the traditional, historically-established religions — like Christianity.
Needless to say, my mind was blown. Hello, paradigm shift.
Think about it. I mean, really contemplate this. What Davidsen, and other pioneering researchers like Adam Possamai and Carole Cusack, had discovered was a "smoking gun" of sorts to verify what some wary Christians had always suspected: products of creative human imagination in the realm of science fiction/fantasy fiction and movies can (and do) create the illusion of reality and truth with enough mythic power to bring about tragic spiritual consequences for the reader or viewer. In fact, not only did Davidsen and others identify Tolkien's literary mythology as suitable fodder for different branches of neo-paganism, but they also uncovered the emergence of other fiction-based religions, such as Jediism, based on George Lucas' Star Wars saga, and the Church of All Worlds which was inspired by Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.
In one of his later articles titled The Religious Affordance of Fiction: A Sembiotic Approach, Davidsen gave a frightening, heartbreaking synopsis of one of the end results of this emerging Tolkien spirituality. Speaking about these new spiritual children of Tolkien, Davidsen wrote:
"In ritual, practitioners seek to communicate with the superhuman characters of Tolkien's literary mythology, including the wizard Gandalf and the Valar (gods); in addition, some members self-identify as Elves."
Perhaps you find this depiction laughable and easy to dismiss as the behavior of a few crackpots, but this has deadly serious implications for a confused postmodern culture like ours. We are currently grappling with rabid social activism that promotes transgenderism and other alternative self-identities (LGBT, transracialism, trans-species practitioners, the higher Self, etc.) as enlightened understanding. Mark Zuckerberg, in fact, just announced that Facebook "wants to get a billion people in virtual reality," which will certainly fuel further interest in transcending one's corporeality. Never mind that a recent study showed that the use of VR technology produces a dissociative effect afterwards and a state of detachment from one's self, often referred to as a "VR existential hangover." Oh well; no big deal. Reality, it seems, is the only real problem these days (pun intended).
On the religious front, the popularity of Wicca and other neo-pagan religions is sharply on the rise. In one recent estimate, there are hundreds of thousands of neo-pagans out there, and that number seems to be growing. Their followers happily feed upon, and are energized by, the milieu of Tolkien spirituality and other mythopoetic narratives that easily blend with their ritualistic practice of interacting with fairies, elementals, and other spirit-beings. Neo-pagan journalist and witch Sara Lyons happily admits that popular fantasy novels like Lord of The Rings (and Harry Potter) can indeed be a "gateway to the occult."
Ultimately, this shocking revelation from Davidsen and others sent me on a journey to see if this religious phenomenon concerning Tolkien's work was just an anomaly or the tip of the iceberg. Bit by bit, what I discovered from extensive ongoing research were many troublesome facts about the hidden, but far-reaching influences of Christian Romanticism, Theosophy, Gnosticism and Jungian Spiritualism, etc. — not only within our own western society, but delicately woven into the very fabric of our country's visible church body. Sadly, many people raised as Christians in the last few decades have been tossed to and fro by this prevailing paganistic breeze fanned by the sleight of men. Their lights have been dimmed; their savor lost; their earlier testimonies scattered to the winds.
In the weeks (and perhaps months) to come, I hope to expand on this curious, but alarming aspect of late modern religion and the affiliated spiritual philosophies involved, along with a deeper examination of how Christians might want to quickly circumvent this tragic misstep of American Christianity before it brings a charge of culpability and a swift indictment that we cannot defend against. Well we might ask, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14).
This is no longer a matter of one's Christian liberty and whether it can be practiced with impunity. The sincere question it raises is whether we as Christians should be associating ourselves with entertainment that we might think is compatible with our faith, but in reality is leading a generation away from pure biblical truth and into the muddy waters of pagan myth and imagination. According to the last major survey by the Pew Research Center in 2014, it appears that "the number of Christian adults in the U.S. has shrunk by somewhere between 2.8 million and 7.8 million since 2007. Over the same period, the percentage of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated – describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or 'nothing in particular' – has jumped more than six points, from 16.1% to 22.8% (of the population)."
What spiritual impact is The Force, The Shack, or The Silmarillion having on unbelievers and lukewarm professors alike? Do we as evangelists seriously want to engage the current culture we live in? Perhaps it is time to forgo the typical, never-ending dialectic with those professing believers who wish to defend their pet enjoyments as a way to engage the culture, and instead look at the big picture of how to increase and preserve the strength of our Gospel proclamation as the only legitimate counter to that very culture. If even one poor soul is led astray by this kind of "Religious Affordance," should we not heed the check in our spirits and look into the matter further?
Archibald G. Brown, the Baptist minister, rightfully asserted, "Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and the city of God has need to carefully note the signs of the times and emphasize his witness accordingly." I hope and pray you will join me in that effort as I present my series, "Signal To Noise" in the days and weeks to come.

Mr. Robin Bradford
I heard somewhere say that when the Titanic was found, the funnels were not found in the debris field. An explanation that was given was that they rolled away on the ocean floor. Can anyone comment on this as to whether the funnels were found in the debris field or did they simply roll away? I don't see how four funnels could just simply roll away.

A true pleasure to watch and snap as always. Hope you enjoy.

Rodgers partners with State Farm in hopes of raising an additional $1M.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has teamed up with State Farm in hopes of raising $1 million for California Wildfire relief efforts. Rodgers, who is from Chico, California and played his college ball at the University of California, has already donated $1 million of his own money, but State Farm has also vowed to donate $1 for each retweet that the following video post receives.
"In Northern California, where I was born and raised, the city of Paradise burned to the ground, and many of the residents who got out are now displaced to my hometown of Chico and across the north state," Rodgers says in the video posted on his Twitter account. "I personally reached out to my friends and the mayor of Chico to find out how to be of the most help. And raising money for both immediate needs and the long-term recovery is what is needed most right now."
According to reports, the Camp Fire in Northern California has already claimed 81 lives, making it the deadliest fire in California history. As of Monday, there were still 699 people missing. To date, the fire has destroyed 12,637 residences, as well as 483 commercial structures and 3,718 other buildings. Nearly 4,000 firefighters are fighting the blaze.
Following the Packers' win over the Miami Dolphins on November 11, Rodgers donned a Santa Monica Fire Department hat in support of all the fire fighters on the scene. He told reporters, per ESPN:
"Growing up in Chico, I spent a great deal of time up there, I played a lot of football and basketball and sports up in Paradise, basically lived in Magalia at one point, which is an even tinier town off of Paradise. The devastation there, is tough. Hearing the stories of people running down the highways to avoid the fire. Knowing that people burned alive in their cars. It's heartbreaking, for sure, and then you have a fire in my adopted home of Southern California, so it's been a tough week for sure, and myself and the guys from Northern California, our thoughts and our prayers are with those folks. Not only the great firefighters fighting the fire, but all the people displaced. In my home area, Butte County, and then obviously down south in the L.A. area."

It's common for infants and toddlers to suck their thumbs or use pacifiers, but over time, these habits can negatively affect their teeth and gums. The same goes for older children and teenagers who bite their fingernails or chew on ice. At Flanders Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in Flanders, New Jersey, the team offers habit breaking appliances and regularly works with patients to prevent these problems from getting worse. To book your appointment, call the office or click the online booking tool today.
Not all children who suck their thumb or use a pacifier damage their teeth. However, if your child sucks aggressively or regularly moves their hand around in their mouth, their more likely to experience misaligned teeth, damage to their jaw, and physical changes to the roof of their mouth.
Studies suggest that vigorous thumb sucking also increases your child's risk of:
Children who suck their thumbs are also more likely to experience pain or sensitivity that affects the roof of their mouth.
Habit breaking appliances are a type of orthodontic appliance designed to help your child prevent habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. At Flanders Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, the team typically recommends an appliance known as a tongue crib.
Tongue cribs look similar to a retainer. However, instead of straightening your child's teeth, a tongue crib holds your child's tongue in place. Tongue cribs feature two metal rings that attach to the back molars. A wire extends from each ring and connects to a wire fence or cage that sits at the front of the mouth behind your child's lower front teeth.
Once placed, a tongue crib helps your child remember not to suck their thumb or fingers. It also prevents them from pushing their tongue up against their teeth and gums.
The Academy of General Dentistry says children, adolescents, and adults who bite their fingernails are also more likely to experience chips, cracks, and wear-and-tear damage.
If your child wears braces or a retainer, nail-biting also increases their risk of root resorption, a painful condition that leads to increased sensitivity.
There's also evidence that suggests children and teens who bite their nails are more likely to grind their teeth, which over time may cause chronic facial pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, as well as damage to their teeth, or jaw.
To determine if your child can benefit from a habit breaking appliance, their Flanders Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics dentist performs an oral exam, reviews their medical history, and asks a series of questions about their habits and your concerns.
Based on this information, the dentist can determine whether or not your child is a good candidate for a tongue crib or another appliance.
Don't let bad habits keep your child from achieving a happy, healthy smile. Make an appointment today for a habit breaking appliance by calling Flanders Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, or click the online booking tool.

Proper cleansing is perhaps the key component for acute and chronic wound management. Cleansing methods differ among health care providers and institutions, and many times is based on an individual's experience and preference. Many cleansing solutions exist today. In this research, the author focused on the use of tap water versus sterile cleansing solutions such as Normal Saline and sterile water. Many cleansing solutions are safe and have been proven to provide effective results, whereas others may damage the tissue, destroy cells, increase infection rates and delay the healing process.
Normal saline is regarded as the most appropriate and preferred cleansing solution by health care providers because it is …show more content…
Article #3. Cleansing chronic wounds with tap water or saline: a review.
A level 4 systematic reviews research.
Ljubič, A. (2013). Cleansing chronic wounds with tap water or saline: a review. Journal Of Community Nursing. 27(1), 19-21. Some practitioners advocate that cleansing with tap water is better than with saline for healing and has economic benefits; others say there is no difference in the infection rates or healing with either solution. A literature search was undertaken of the electronic databases for relevant systematic reviews, randomized control trials (RCT) and other evidence based literature using the key words chronic wound, wound cleansing, tap water, saline, infection. No evidence suggesting the use of tap water instead of saline was inappropriate was found.
Four studies of 14 RCTs comparing infection rates in wound cleansing with tap water and normal saline in adults and children were identified. The studies evaluated patients in hospitals emergency departments. The trial was a comparison of the effects of tap water and normal saline on the healing and infection rates of acute and chronic wounds. The researchers concluded that there was no significant difference between the infection and healing rates in wound cleansing with normal saline and tap water, and that tap water appears to be a safe alternative.

Special thank you to Ben Petroff and the Stack8 Managed Services team for their expertise with Cisco Expressway
Earlier this spring, Cisco had announced a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability affecting CUCM 10.x and 11.x, which we discussed in a previous blog post entitled: Important DoS Vulnerability for CUCM 10.x and 11.x "cisco-sa-20170419-ucm"
Cisco has recently announced that Cisco Expressway and TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) are also affected by a similar DoS vulnerability. Advisory ID "cisco-sa-20170816-vcs" (CVE-2017-6790) explains that an unauthenticated, remote attacker could send excessive SIP traffic to the device and cause a complete DoS condition on the targeted system.
Given the fact that Expressway and VCS are often positioned at the edge of the network (ideally in a DMZ) and thus publicly accessible from the Internet, Stack8 considers this as a very serious vulnerability and recommends that affected systems be upgraded as soon as possible.
Any Expressway or VCS release from X7.x and below X8.10 are vulnerable.
More details on this vulnerability can be found here:
Should you or your organization require assistance with the deployment of this important Expressway/VCS software update, Stack8's team of Cisco UC experts are available to help!

SEO Vs. PPC: 5 'Power Tips' to Drive Organic Traffic to Your Website
OK, so you have a website. Blood, sweat and tears (as well as cash!) have gone into getting this thing up and running. You've used all your creative juices to get the words just right. And you added some nice graphics to make the site aesthetically pleasing. Now what?
A website is of little use if nobody can find it. It's kind of like having a telephone book ad with no contact information … it's practically useless.
Mastering organic search ranking has proven to be a fundamental part of the online marketing mix. (By "organic," I mean the "natural," as opposed to "paid/PPC," listing that appears when someone conducts a search on Google or other search engines. Optimal placement is typically within the first 20 listings or three pages.)
Search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO)—the ability to increase your site's visibility in organic search listings and refine the content structure on the site itself—are critical for market awareness and customer acquisition.
An eye-tracking study showed that about 50 percent of viewers begin their search scan at the top of the organic listing results. Other studies show that about 70 percent of Web surfers click on organic listings before they click on a sponsored link.
Don't let your site get lost in the Internet Black Hole, when there are five simple ways to help boost your website's traffic and optimization.
1. Create online buzz about your site, product or service. You can do this by generating free online press releases. There are distribution services on the Web that offer no-cost packages, sites such as PRlog.org, Free-press-release.com and others. You can also post a link to your news release to targeted social marketing sites like LinkedIn (relevant groups), Facebook, Twitter as well as high-traffic blogs.
2. Initiate a relevant inbound link program. Set up a reciprocal link page or blog roll (a listing of URLs on a blog, as opposed to a website) that can house links from industry sites. Contact these sites to see if they'd be willing to swap links with you—a link to your site for a link to theirs. Relevance, rank and quality are key when selecting link-building partner sites. Search engines shun link harvesting (collecting links from random websites that have no relevance to your site), so these links should be from sites that are similar in nature to your business.
3. Give Web searchers great content and a link back to your site. Upload original, "UVA" (useful, valuable and actionable) and relevant editorial to high quality content directories such as eZinearticles.com, ArticlesBase.com and Goarticles.com. There are also more niche directories that focus on topics like health and investing. This is a great way to increase market awareness, as well as establish an inbound link to your site. Content should be targeted to the directory and audience you want to get in front of. There is also a syndication opportunity, as third-party sites may come across your article when doing a Web search and republish your content on their own websites. As long as third parties give your site editorial attribution and a link, getting them to republish your content is just another distribution channel for you to consider. For more information how to effectively master content marketing, search engine algorithms and Google updates, read my blog entry titled, "Is the 'A' in SONAR (article marketing) still a viable tactic with search engines and the Farmer/PANDA updates?"

Move over, Detroit automakers. The United Kingdom's biotech industry wants a spot among those queuing for government financial help during the global economic downturn. "All of us have concluded that this is the most serious, dire situation that the sector has ever been in. We are teetering on the edge of the abyss," Christopher Evans, founder of the medical sciences investment house Excalibur, told the Daily Telegraph last week. Evans and 21 other U.K. biotech leaders want their government to provide up to £500 million for two funds, one that would help small firms consolidate and one that would bankroll companies needing money to grow. According to the Financial Times, Evans says biotech companies would give up equity for the money, offering the promise that the U.K. government could earn the cash back down the road. The biotech leaders recently prepared a dossier on their proposal for government officials, although there's no word on whether they made the mistake of using a private jet to deliver the document.

Oh my! Super poster of Adam....but where is everyone else? As much as I love "our guy", this is, after all a group endeavor, and Brian and Roger are barely visible...to say nothing of the rest of the band.
This poster makes it look as though it's an Adam Lambert concert. Flattering, but incorrect!
I can't help but note that, while Queen's name is quite large in the lettering, their depiction is very small. And while Adam's name is small in the lettering, his depiction is very large. Interesting.
In a way, it's hard to blame the poster-maker... Adam is SO PHOTOGENIC, and strikes wonderful moves and poses!
More and more Adam is winning over "Queen Country" it appears. How nice!

No Roger AGAIN & a very small Brian & the others are ignored AGAIN!!! Like their last tour, this tour is a Queen + Adam Lambert concert tour - it's not all about Adam. If it weren't for Queen, Adam wouldn't be singing with them. In a nutshell: Not good enough.
