Atropolis Remix of Vivian Garcia and Armando Perez
My first gig in Chicago I had the pleasure of meeting Vivian Garcia after her performance at a street music festival. About a year ago she reached out asking if I was open to do a remix of a song her and Armando Perez collaborated on, called "Loc@s". When she sent the track I was instantly taken by the sweet vocal melodies and performance. (more…)
Atropolis on working with the Kora, and the challenges of cross-cultural musical collaboration
My most recent release with Yacouba Sissoko, KoraNYC was a intense journey of doubt, fears, and listening — to the complexities of this rich melodic instrument, the Kora. This production got to a point where I was ready to give up. This is my experience with working with this historic instrument, my struggles with the production, and the tools I used to solve them.

Brooklyn Shanti Goes To India
A good friend of mine, Brooklyn Shanti has been rocking the mic since he was 12. Over the past year Shanti has been doing a great amount of work in India. Two of his most recent projects involve, Rani Rani, which was picked up by a Bollywood film, From Sydney with Love; and Bengla Bass, an original production that was a part of a music documentary show called The Dewarist.

"The Dewarists is a part music documentary, part travelogue which takes independent musicians to diverse locations across the world, to collaborate and inspire as they create wholly original works of art — that stand the test of time and orthodox."

Benjamin Wayne: Customized Video Solutions
Fliqz Gives Small Businesses The Chance To Compete
Benjamin Wayne is the CEO of Fliqz, a site which empowers businesses to reach mass market audiences by giving them the tools to put video assets online. Wayne has created customizable video solutions that are cheap and easy to develop, allowing his clients the ability to compete with large corporations. He talks about the importance of customization and branding, as well as looking at existing market demands.
Online Video Still a New Frontier
Though online video has been delivering in terms of offering companies a new and powerful tool, there is still a lot that web site owners don't know and have not harnessed. This brought the growth of the Fliqz market. They offer solutions that are easy to implement, cost effective and that really can support brands online. With video technology advancement, Wayne feels that consumers are finally able to consume content online in the way they want to... not reading, which he claims people hate to do, but through viewing.
How Do Site Owners Monetize Video Content? Wayne reports in an interview with Tech News World that,
- Linux News: ECT News Exclusives: Fliqz CEO Benjamin Wayne on the ...Linux news and information from around the world with fresh perspective on Linux and the open-source movement.
- E-Commerce News: E-Marketing: Fliqz CEO Benjamin Wayne on the ... Everything you need to know about doing business on the Internet. Information for C-Level executives and small-to-mid-sized business managers.
- Lessons Learned: Fliqz CEO Benjamin Wayne on the risks startups face...
- Streaming Media Podcast... Benjamin Wayne, CEO and Founder of Fliqz, speaks with Tim Siglin about the problem with video advertising CPM rates, agencies and the cost of content production
"The challenge has been that No. 1, there hasn't been a lot of online video ad inventory, and in order to attract an advertiser to advertise on top of video, you typically have to have at least a million video streams a month, which is a pretty tough number. Very few of our customers actually get to that level of volume. And on top of that, it's a format that the end users aren't particularly thrilled about."Related News:

Karbonn Vista 4G was working fine but all of sudden phone fails to boot.
Using Multimeter I had checked the supply, which was 1.4v and then dropping to 0.

The placid flow of the stream behind me was like a lullaby — it put me to sleep in no time last night. I awakened refreshed and ready for the day. Matt took Hurley for a quick walk up the trailhead from camp, where a little drama occurred with some of the wildlife. Hurley came upon a massive turkey and it took off like a boeing 747 up onto a tree branch, much higher than Hurley. Matt said the wingspan was about 7ft (I wish I had been there!).
Matt and I took our time getting ready then drove down the mountain, back into Baker and stopped for water refills and some food. I then got on my bike for the 87-mile ride to Milford, UT, which would include climbing three mountain passes, the last two being quite challenging (very steep). Combined with the climbing challenge was the wind. It was incessant and unrelenting the *entire* ride, pushing hard from our right. Sometimes I had to lean to my right, into the wind just to stay upright and balanced… crazy stuff. The MIT students had begun ahead of me, and I thought I might catch up, but not today, not with this wind.
About 15 miles into my ride, I saw in the distance — a another mirage? No, it was a guy walking down the road, pushing a cart (containing water, food, and a guitar). I stopped and we spoke for a few minutes. His name was Jonah Boyer (www.dudetrek.com) and he was walking from Delaware to San Francisco. He began a year ago, taking a non-linear route, thus by the end of his trek, he will have walked just over 5,000 miles (and I thought bicycling across the country was off the grid). He graduated from high school last year, and didn't know what he wanted to do, but knew he wasn't ready for college. He loves the outdoors, so he decided to do something outside, which would allow him to think about life, and maybe get some insights as what to do in the future. Walking across the US seemed to fit for him. He's such a nice guy and even played a song for me on his guitar. Cool dude.
I turned towards the wind and kept pedaling. At one time the wind was so strong and tenacious that I had to pedal hard…while going downhill! It was so frustrating that I actually yelled out a few expletives to the wind (as if it was a personal affront). Just after I yelled my choice words at the wind, I received an extra gust. Lovely, the wind has ears! I kept push though, and somehow made it up the second to last mountain pass before coming to Milford. It was quite a feat, actually, when considering the steep grade combined with the $&%*#!@ wind.
I was in the middle of nowhere in Nevada yesterday… pedaling through vast, expansive, open land, with mountains adorning the east and west sides. But today, it was even more expansive, as you could see mountains far, far way…and see the road more clearly—thereby seeing how much further there was to pedal! It was getting dark, and as I approached Milford, and Matt came back in his car to see where I was located. I was only two miles away, and Matt told me where he and the MIT group were camping….on the grounds of the Milford High School, which was a green patch of grass next to some recreation/play equipment. Matt and I went to the local diner and met up with a group of bicyclists doing the exact same ride across the U.S. Greg was promoting Mercy Housing and his group was Mercy Riders (www.mercyriders.org). I also met Claire–a fun and energetic woman—who was also riding for a cause "Riding for Pikki", a young boy who had some serious health conditions and Claire (www.clairetheroad.com) was riding to raise money to help Pikki. Causes–from the heart–can give one that extra push to overcome tough rides, when conditions become brutal.
Back to the campsite and bed around 10pm. Good night!

Time for Edge's challenge dungeon!
A Beast's Tail[edit source]
We appear in the Eblan Cave, head back to the castle. Buy supplies including several Tents, and check the equipment shops. With proper cash now, buy a second Metal Boomerang for Tsukinowa, a Kenpo Gi for everyone, and a Silver Armlet for anyone who needs one. You can also grab a few dozen Shurikens. All suited up now, head to the save point at the Eblan Cave.
At the save point rest until the New Moon, then wander this north area to find a Behemoth. These nasty pricks will counter any attack with an attack of their own, and counter magic with Maelstrom to reduce the party to single-digit health. There's a very easy way to turn this to an advantage. Provoke a Maelstrom, then smack the bitch with Advent of Phoenix for over 6000 damage. The Behemoth has 10000 HP, so two Advents will kill him, if you're up to resting every few encounters due to the limited MP of the party and Advent costing 20 MP. However I had 15 Ethers to toss around, so you may as well use them if you don't feel like buying dozens of Tents. After the first Behemoth fight you'll retain your low HP, don't worry about random encounters they'll all die in one hit. The Behemoths will drop Purple Tails. However, they may also drop Power Sashes, which are just as good! They give great defense exceeding all of your current armor options, and give +15 Strength. We thus have double the reason as normal to seek out the tail enemy of this chapter. As an up-side, Behemoths only do counters, they never attack on their own so fighting them at low health is perfectly safe.
The only problem with the Behemoths is that they seem picky on if they consider Bands and Ninjutsu magic or attacks, and thus if they counter them with Maelstrom or not. I previously said here that the Frozen Moon Band provoked a Maelstrom while normal Ninjutsu didn't, and they counter Advent with a physical. Now I'm finding the exact opposite on my replay, they used Maelstrom to counter Zangetsu's Shock and Advent, but a physical against Frozen Moon. So maybe it's random, or maybe I'm stupid, decide for yourself. If they do use a physical to counter Advent, no problem, toss a Phoenix Down.
If you don't want to use Advent twice, then after the first use have Izayoi and Gekkou use Phantom Lightflies to heal the party and just slug it out normally. Edge and Tsukinowa can use Mirage and Zangetsu can use Human Kite, the latter not only does damage but lets him avoid attacks, and with Mirage on Edge and Tsukinowa you have about a 50% chance of the Behemoth attacking one of them and not doing any damage.
When you're done farming the Behemoth, head to Eblan Castle and restock, particularly buying many Shurikens. Time for the Challenge Dungeon.
The Challenge[edit source]
Edge's challenge dungeon is a time trial - the faster we get to the end the better the treasure we get. So this first run will focus on getting all the other items in the dungeon, subsequent runs will focus on getting to the end quickly. Though you can't see it the timer continues running in battle, so use Auto-Battle to speed things up. Also don't be afraid to flee from battle, Smoke from Edge or Zangetsu can help. Wild Moon from Edge and Tsukinowa helps against large groups of enemies. Also note the monster-in-a-box chests will drop one of two items, but won't repeat. Some chests that are safe in one run may hold monsters in the next, and there can be several chest monsters on a single floor. My advice is to take them if you believe you can spare the time, but only grab the chests that aren't out of the way. Furthermore the treasures of the chests are random, so I can't tell you what you'll find.
In this dungeon the main monsters to watch out for on all floors are Caterpillars and Lamias. Lamias counter all attacks with Entice and Caterpillars with Slow. Use Wild Moon on groups of Caterpillars and Human Kite, Frozen Moon Dance or Shurikens on Lamias. The third floor has Malboros, very annoying enemies because Bad Breath inflicts a lot of status ailments, including Mini and Pig which we can't heal save for Remedies or resting. The only way to deal with them is to equip as many people as you can with a piece of equipment that resists a status ailment - due to a glitch if you resist one status, Bad Breath won't effect you. The Headband fits the bill so give one to everyone if you have enough. If you meet any Golem-type enemies in the dungeon then fight them, they may drop the awesome Giant's Gloves.
Get the chest immediately below you then go right and up for another chest, and now down and around up to the left to find another chest. The monsters in the chests may award a Killer Bow for Izayoi, or an Ashura katana for everyone. The exit is to the right. Also note this floor has two cloaked figures that run around blocking you that will appear if you dally too long, another good reason to speed it up.
The second floor may or may not be familiar. If you're a nerd with a memory for video games like mine, it's the waterway from Baron, sans water. Go down through a hidden passage to a chest, then down again through a longer passage to a second chest. Head right through the lower wall and up to the center area, the island on the ledge holds a chest. Heading right through the wall between the rocks will trigger a forced battle with two Blood Eyes, very dangerous enemies that do a lot of damage and have a lot of HP. Instead go back into the hidden passage and go right and up. The monster-in-a-boxes here may drop a Black Belt Gi or a Mythril Hammer for Gekkou.
We're in a redone Mist Cave now. Follow the path to the two sets of stairs and go up between them to a chest. Go up those left stairs for a chest, then right, taking the stairs you see for a third chest. Now follow the path to the exit. The chest monsters here award the Crimson Cherry, a powerful katana, or a Black Cowl.
This fourth area isn't familiar to newbies, but fans of the original game may recognize it. To the right, if you can spare the time, is a short hall to a healing tile. The left leads to a teleporter out the dungeon. As you go up the large room you'll fight a scripted battle, kill them and open the chest. The monsters that may appear inside yield a Chakram or a Wind Spear, for either Tsukinowa or Zangetsu. Go up through the door.
The final floor has a scripted encounter at the top of the small steps, then it's the final chest with our rare item. The faster you got here the better the chance it has something good.
Speed Run[edit source]
Now the fastest way to get through the dungeon with the most treasure. Run from all random encounters and ignore the chests, unless you think you can spare the time and have yet to get the two monster-in-a-box treasures, which are just as good as the dungeon items. When you have both, ignore all chests.
Go down, right, down and around to the next floor. On the second floor go down through the hidden passages leading to the chests, as otherwise we'll face scripted enemies, then go right and up along the far right side. In the third floor follow the path to the twin stairs, go up between them and right, then up. Fourth floor go straight up. Depending on the enemies you meet and if you ran from them or not, you should be able to make it here in under five minutes.
The final chest, of course, has the standard four Elixir, Adamantite, Soma Drop and Silver Apple, definitely get the Adamantite as always. It also has a new weapon for each ninja - the Gaia Hammer, Blitz Whip, Flame Lance and Wing Edge, as well as the Kotetsu for all of them. Give each ninja their exclusive weapon when they get it, saving the Kotetsu for Edge with one of the other katanas found in the dungeon. The Goblin Mask gives a nifty boost to Speed, Spirit and Intelligence. The Mist Wrap is a strong armor that gives +5 Speed. The final rare item is the Treasure Hunter armlet. This item boosts the drop rate of items, but sadly doesn't effect rare drops, which are the worthwhile ones of course. The equipment aside from the Kotetsu are mostly missable, as you won't be using the Eblan Four after Edge's Tale and by the time we get to the final tale we'll have stronger stuff. The Adamantite and Treasure Hunter are worth it though.
Now I highly advise going back and farming Behemoths, try to get at least one Power Sash. I emphasize at least because obviously more is better. Give it to Edge. With everyone at Level 40, an Advent of Phoenix from a Maelstrom'd party may do just enough damage to kill a Behemoth in one round, making killing them quick and easy - I say "may" because I believe HP gain on level up has a slight random factor, and Advent of Phoenix has a slight random factor too - once it did just over 10,000 damage, the next fight just under. Either way, Behemoth farming is quick and easy. You can use Silver Apples and Golden Apples to boost Edge's max HP and thus the damage Advent of Phoenix does, if you like. True, you have to keep the party at single-digit health and be vulnerable to an enemy ambush, but if you're worried you can toss a Potion (not a Hi-Potion) on everyone, no enemy you meet in the cave can do enough damage to kill them even if they all gang up on one person.
For a guaranteed Behemoth spawn, this RNG manipulation trick has be found. Save in the Eblan Cave on the New Moon, then soft reset and head back in. Run 23 labs of the box within the save area, then head outside -- you should immediately run into a Behemoth.

Expectations. This is a big word with a whole lot of emotion attached to it. For me, expectations are a drug affecting every part of my life. They are present in situations without my knowing sometimes. They offer me hope and keep me high with anticipation for blissful, rewarding outcomes. They also make me crash and burn with disappointment when they are not met. Such is life right?
"Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living." – Jonathan Safran Foer.
When I hear the word contract I cringe a little… it sounds a bit like commitment and I'm not very good at that. But if we consider that there are two basic fundamental emotional needs in life – security (yawn) and adventure (yes please!) – "contract" definitely covers one of those, especially if "long-term" is a predicate to it.
So, you have followed my advice from previous blog posts – you wrote a great resume and found an awesome job. You got your visa and are getting ready to embark on the experience of a lifetime. Here are some tips from someone who has both taught abroad and vicariously experienced the successes and occasional failure of many other teachers through my job as a recruiter.
My husband moved to Korea to teach English about 10 years ago. His boss picked him up from the bus station and promptly brought him to the school where Stephen would be teaching all the little darlings. First day off the plane ended up being his first day of work. If you have worked in Korea before, you know this is not out of the ordinary.
I used to teach English abroad. During my time teaching overseas I met some strange people. While most ESL teachers are hardworking folks trying to see the world, start a career and pay down some debts, there are those that are, let's be honest - station wagons in the Indy 500 of life.
I would be a big, fat liar if I said that TESOLers who blow their money drive me bonkers. In reality, I know how exhilarating it can be to spend all that shiny, new cash we make from teaching on clothes, dining out, drinks, and whatever else suits our fancies. Spending money is fun, but what I've come to realize, is that saving money is oh-so-much-more gratifying.
Even ESL/EFL teachers have a right to a comfortable, and dare I say, early retirement.
When you move to another country to teach English abroad, it is highly likely that your dating life will move with you. Dating in a foreign country can be slightly daunting as language barriers and cultural differences make an already difficult to navigate road even more difficult. Here are a few tips to make your dating life abroad more successful.
Living day to day surrounded by a culture different from your own you notice little things that you wouldn't have the opportunity to observe as a tourist. These little things are for me the defining features of a micro-level, present-day culture.
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing website.
I got an email from an employer in China,and after a Skype interview I got the job, and am flying to China in couple of days.
Thank you so much for all your time and energy.

Good quality product, easy to install, would recommend.
Very happy with my purchase of the BMS exhaust tips for my E92. The item was not available in the colour I wanted (gloss black) so the guys at ML Performance ordered it in from BMS and kept me informed with expected delivery times. The tips themselves were well packaged, are very well made and the paint finish is flawless. They slip straight over the pipes with clips to hold them in place so no drilling and the install took 2 mins and look awesome. Thanks to ML Performance for a quality product and sales experience, will certainly be using them again.

Remembering Loved Ones
The 11th of November is Remembrance Day. This is the day we pay our respects to those soldiers who died in the First World War. It marks the day the war ended and at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month we observe a minute silence to remember and think about all the people who have died in wars since. There are lots of ways to remember our loved ones after they've died - here are just a few ideas...
Gather relatives and have your own personal day of remembrance for family members who have died. This could become a great family tradition and even give comfort to your living relatives knowing that they will always be remembered when they're gone.
Get all the grandchildren and try to emulate Nana's famous biscuit recipe. Whilst you're mixing and pouring and baking, tell stories about all the things you loved about her, passing on the stories, the love and the receipes to the younger members of your family to carry on.
Plant a tree in their honour - You may have heard of planting a tree in celebration of a birth or a marriage; the same logic applies for a death. The tree symbolises not the fact that your loved one has died, but that they lived. A flowering tree is great because when the tree blossoms every year, the branches can be brought into the house, symbolising the celebration of that life.
Dedicate a memorial bench in their favourite location - this will give you a place to go to sit in quiet contemplation looking out over the view that you know they loved.
Light a candle - This has always been symbolic in memorials. Gazing at the flame helps you to focus your thinking on their memory. Just be careful not to leave the flame burning when you're not there!
Create a book of stories about your loved one - Ask family and friends for their favourite stories and precious memories, include photos and make a treasured keepsake.
Display old photos of your loved one in a creative way - It's nice to display pictures instead of keeping them tucked away in a photo album. Friends and family members can be hesitant to discuss their deceased loved one, but pictures can be very comforting to those who are grieving.
Speak to a TCN Celebrant in your area today who can help you to arrange the perfect tribute for your loved one.

1 Bed | 1 Bath | 1,092 Sq. Ft.
Oakridge is a city in Lane County, Oregon, United States. The population was 3,205 as of the 2010 census. It is located east of Westfir on Oregon Route 58, about 40 miles (64 km) east of Eugene and 150 miles (240 km) southeast of Portland. Surrounded by the Willamette National Forest and the Cascade Range, Oakridge is popular with outdoor enthusiasts for its hiking, mountain biking, wildflowers, fly fishing, birding, watersports, and the nearby Willamette Pass Resort.
The city was originally a community called "Hazeldell", and its post office was established on July 26, 1888. When a station on the Southern Pacific Railroad opened in May 1912, it was named "Oak Ridge" by a railroad executive for the surrounding topography, and on July 19 of that year the name was changed to be spelled as a single word.
The economy of Oakridge and nearby Westfir is centered on recreation. In the 20th century, there were two sawmills that processed logs from nearby timberland—an Oakridge mill owned by the Pope and Talbot Lumber Company and an Edward Hines mill in Westfir. Both of the mills had closed by 1985. Since then the economy has been transitioning, with a new general store opening in 2010, a bakery in 2011, and a brewery and mercantile.
The area now known as Oakridge was first explored in 1852 as a possible route for pioneers coming from Central Oregon to the Willamette Valley. A post office was named "Hazeldell" in 1888, and the place's name later changed to "Big Prairie", and then "Oak Ridge". In 1912, a new community was formed and officially named Oakridge.

A wise sage once declared that there are only two certainties in life: Death and taxes. Well, if the same sage was around today, he or she would add a third certainty to the list.
Traffic tickets.
Another wise sage said you cannot not make a mountain out of a mole hill. The sage probably never heard of traffic tickets because one traffic ticket that creates a mole hill often leads to a mountain of unpaid traffic tickets.
If you have received a traffic ticket, you need to work with a Georgia licensed lawyer who has compiled an impressive record of helping clients stay off the traffic ticket records kept by local law enforcement agencies. The experienced attorneys at Greer Tisinger want you to understand that putting off the handling of one or more traffic tickets will become a he mistake for down the road for several reasons.
Simply put, the negative consequences of disregarding traffic tickets has the potential to be a huge legal thorn in your side for years to come.
Why It is Important to Hire a Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Do you wonder how actuaries calculate driver's insurance premiums? Your driving record is by far the most significant factor in calculating what you pay each month for car insurance. One speeding ticket at a speed that is only five miles over the speed limit can quickly raise your monthly driver's insurance premiums. One traffic ticket conviction, even for a minor driving offense, can stay on your driving record anywhere between three and seven years. Over the course of seven years, the additional money you fork over for driver's insurance can accumulate into thousands of extra dollars that you could have used for better purposes.
Greer Tisinger has devoted a separate division in the firm to handle client traffic tickets. Our goal is to help clients avoid accumulating points on their driving records. Points represent the blemish insurance companies use to boost monthly premiums. If you choose to plead guilty and hence, add points to your driving record, you can expect your driver's insurance rate to increase dramatically. Even more important, you want to avoid points accumulating on your driving record. Like every other state, Georgia has established a point system that penalizes drivers for traffic infractions. Not only do we help clients avoid insurance points, we also make sure to keep their driving records clean.
Common Traffic Tickets Handed Out in Georgia
The number of possible driving infractions in Georgia is seemingly endless. However, there are a handful of traffic tickets that law enforcement agencies hand out the most.
A Little More about Speeding in Georgia
There is no doubt that the highly rated traffic ticket lawyers at Greer Tisinger handle more speeding violations than any other type of traffic infraction. Your instinct might be to call the phone number listed on the back of a speeding ticket and pay the fine right away. You should understand that paying off a speeding ticketadds unnecessary points to your driver's insurance and Georgia driving record.
Here is how the point system for speeding in Georgia works:
Anyone traveling more than 85 mile per hour on a Georgia interstate or moving more than 75 miles per hour on a Georgia two-lane road has to pay a super speed fine of $200 per offense. A super speeder fine will have a negative impact on your insurance premiums and driving records for years to come.
What about a Commercial License?
Professionals that carry commercial driver's licenses face harsher penalties for violating Georgia traffic laws. A prime example of the harsher penalties concerns license suspensions. A commercial driver's license holder in Georgia faces a license suspension of 60 days for receiving just two minor traffic violations within a three year time frame. The number of traffic violations includes violations that happen when driving a vehicle for personal reasons. If you are a professional who operates a commercial vehicle and you face one or more traffic infractions, you should work with the Greer Tisinger team of traffic ticket lawyers to erase the minor infractions from your driving record.
Free Consultation with a Greer Tisinger Attorney
Dealing with one or more traffic tickets might be the third certainty in life, but it does not have to be a certainty that you have to worry about. When you hire a Greer Tisinger traffic ticket attorney, you do not have to attend court hearings and you will never miss any time from work. We take of everything for you, including the timely filing of court documents. This means you do not have to visit our office except for when you schedule a free initial consultation that determines the best course of legal action.
Contact Greer Tisinger today to schedule your free initial consultation. We accept phone calls at 404-566-6634 or you can submit the easy to fill out form conveniently placed on our law firm website.
When you are facing a challenging situation, you do not need to do it alone. We can help. Turn to Greer Tisinger. To

SailPoint Survey Indicates Companies are Concerned about Insider Threats, but Lack Information Needed to Adequately Protect Themselves
AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2009 – Despite a renewed focus on governance and transparency, a recent survey from SailPoint Technologies revealed a disconnect between regulatory compliance and proactive risk management. This second Market Pulse Survey, conducted in April 2009, focused on how companies are approaching identity governance during the economic downturn, with a particular focus on "insider threats." While 86 percent of the total respondents are concerned about insider threats, they cannot adequately manage the risk of data breaches because the majority of them can't summarize which workers have access to the most critical applications and data.
Massive layoffs are occurring as companies undertake cost-cutting measures, as well as corporate restructuring in the form of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. The magnitude of corporate churn on a global scale, compounded by restricted IT budgets and strained resources, has created a perfect storm for fraud and theft from employees in the affected industries. Many organizations are trying to mitigate this insider threat risk. In fact, 77 percent of the companies SailPoint surveyed have a risk management function within their IT organization. However, nearly 30 percent of those companies don't allocate budget to that function. That means nearly 50 percent of the affected companies either do not have, or underfund, their IT risk management activities.
A quarter of the respondents were from the banking and financial services industries, evenly split across North America and Europe. All of these companies are concerned about insider threats, with 30 percent saying they're "very concerned." Within the healthcare and insurance companies who responded, 99 percent are concerned about insider threats.
The SailPoint survey also revealed a consistent struggle companies face when managing user access controls for large populations of employees, partners and customers. Of the 125 respondents, 28 percent noted they lack critical access controls and could be more exposed to security breaches than they think. Another 20 percent believe it's simply a matter of time before an internal breach occurs at their company.
"The survey showed that companies lack the necessary transparency to adequately manage worker access to sensitive data and applications," said Jackie Gilbert, SailPoint's vice president of marketing and cofounder. "Since we conducted our first survey last November, close to half of our respondents have undergone major layoffs. In light of this heightened risk, 'what you don't know' can have real consequences on businesses, and executives are starting to realize that. Our survey clearly showed that executives are rightfully concerned, and I suspect we'll see a more disciplined risk management approach for user access control in the coming months."
SailPoint's Market Pulse Survey results can be downloaded here.
About SailPoint
SailPoint Technologies, Inc. develops identity governance software that helps organizations gain control over user access to critical systems and data, streamline costly IT compliance processes and reduce the risks of fraud, corporate data loss or theft and failed audits. Founded in December 2005, SailPoint is based in Austin, Texas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

'JIM TV' is a prize sheep farmer who is the subject of an S4C documentary in March.
He survived an horrendous accident in July 2002, when a tree fell on him, crushing his ribs and breaking his collarbone.
"I was lucky to pull through," he said last night. "Clearly my luck has changed. I'm so glad I formed Lucky Jim's and that our staff can now enjoy a little extra bonus." Built on stilts, Mr Jones' business was erected above the pens where he still keeps his sheep.
In the documentary, Mr Jones - who also makes wedding videos - can be seen admiring a £2,500 camera in a shop window. Turning to the camera he says, "I'm going to buy that camera when I win the lottery."
Yesterday he reflected, "Who said dreams never come true?"

If you travel through Primorsko-goranska County you must visit the old town of Kastav which abounds in music and scene staging, local merry making and carnival feasting, museums and cultural monuments as well as the pleasures of excellent gastronomy and oenology.
It is located on a hill above Opatija offering attractive accommodation in apartments and houses inside and outside the old town walls. In the centre of Kastav, on Square Lokvina, stands a boutique hotel and gourmet restaurant Kukuriku with particular oenology and gastronomy offers founded on the vanguard and artistic approach of owner Nenad Kukurin, as well as the forty-year-old family hospitality tradition.
Once you find yourself in Kastav, you must taste Belica, a wine that unites the autochthonous wine sorts of Kastavština. Actually it is a blended sort of Verdić, Mejskega, Divjak, Brajkovac and Malvazija, and its promotion has been taken care of for ten years by the Belica Friends Association of Rouge, Grapes and Wine.
Kastav has a summer festival called Kastav Cultural Summer which takes place from June to August and represents rich and manifold contents divided into many categories – music, film, exhibition, drama, literature, children and partner programme and the Guitar Festival with free workshops, while the integral part of Kastav Cultural Summer programme is the Chanson Fest, a festival of chakavian chansons which takes place at the end of August in Kastav Crekvina.
A great role in the recognition of Kastav in the national and international framework is surely played by the Kastav Blues Festival, the biggest blues manifestation in Croatia that begins in August and gathers eminent names of the world's blues scene.

The conference started, and felt a little bit glitzy for a girl from Norwich. The speakers were inspiring, all the female founders in the line-up were sharing their story. Then Aileen Lee took to the stage.
Five years previously, Aileen had started Cowboy Ventures, a Silicon Valley seed investment firm.
She shared some valuable advice: "Firstly of all, you need to be a great storyteller, especially at that early stage where you're selling a dream."
She then went on to say that "it's potentially harder for female entrepreneurs to be pitching to male investors".
She explained that investment is dominated by men with 95% VC boards occupied by men who decide who gets what funding.
To be honest at this stage, I reacted! I have until that point always believed that your gender makes little difference, if you work hard and have the talent there are no barriers.
Aileen then went on to to explain that "one of my trigger phrases I hear all of the time in VC board meetings is, 'He's such a good guy'.
"I see this all the time in meetings. We make a Google Doc of the target investors for the round, and someone will be like, 'Oh, what about Scott Jones.' And someone else will be like, 'Oh, I love that dude. He's such a good guy.' And then someone else will say, 'Oh, what about Brian Smith.' And it's like, 'Love that dude. Love that guy'."
Aileen continued: "But then if I bring up a woman, 'What about Susie Smith?' They'll say, 'Oh, does she invest in security?' There's no, 'Oh, she's such a great girl' or 'She's such a great woman.' It's infuriating."

So the advice I'd like to give women entrepreneurs is to be confident, but don't stretch.
If you're a little too arrogant, or if you kind of puff things up a little bit too much, they will ding you for being an exaggerator.
But don't be too shy or underconfident, because to be honest, I think guys can get away with being: "Oh, he's just an introvert."
There was an article recently that basically showed a quantitative study that proved women and men get different judgements and they get different questions depending on, basically by investors.
So, it is not fair. We just have to know the deck is stacked, and work around it.
So, practice your pitch, so you come across as confident, but not overconfident, and not spinning and know your numbers.
Following the San Francisco event I submitted my application. We didn't get in, but the process was transformational in the journey of my business.
I realised for the first time that females do have to go the extra mile. Two months later I closed my first funding round.

This is a hospitality article for restaurants that is discussing other ways to create profits and grow your clientele. It discusses ways to offer and execute a multitude of events for your restaurant that would otherwise be a slow period of business. It talks about offering your space as a venue for things such as weddings, birthday parties and other social events. It goes over the benefits of this practice like higher profits, expanding your customer base and avoiding those slow periods a restaurant usually experiences.
Key Takeaways:
- Corporate happy hours, bridal events and large birthday parties take place in restaurants like yours every day.
- Events offer a way to spin up another revenue line and bring folks in in a different way.
- Revenue from private events has the potential to be more profitable than a typical two-top or four-top, Miller said.
"Our guests are evolving to more of experience seekers, so you can sell your events in main dining or bar spaces."

I would appreciate anyone's input into the best setup for streaming blu-ray movies. I have a large collection of blu-ray movies I would like to stream. It seems most people that stream use MKV container format. Would this be the best format? I would like to get the best video quality at the smallest size. I have seen 8GB suggested. Would 8GB suffice? I have 50" Pio Kuro.
Also, if anyone could comment on how they are storing their blu-ray movies such as how large, ie number of TBs, number of drives, internal or external etc.. I am just not too familiar with the best way to store this and stream it to my TV. I going to purchase a Dune Smart D1 soon and will be using this to stream movies.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Max Verstappen enjoyed 89 trouble-free laps around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on the second day of testing on Tuesday.
The Dutchman posted an impressive time of 1:22.200 on his first race-paced outing in the RB13, which was enough to finish third quickest.
Speaking after the session, Verstappen implied Red Bull Racing had similar priorities to Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team and are putting the car through its paces, testing its reliability.
"We had a very positive day with not too many issues and we've done quite a lot of laps so we can be happy," he said. "For us it's not about showing how quick we can be at the moment.
"It's the first test week and the second day, so it's much more important to get some mileage in and to check if all the parts are okay. We'll focus on lap time later on."
Verstappen also agreed with the other drivers that the changes in regulations have resulted in more downforce and thus more grip, though they're suffering for it physically.
"The speed difference compared to the cars from last year is a good step; it's definitely more enjoyable through the faster corners," he continued. "You also have a lot more traction going through the slow corners and that was very difficult to find a good compromise with last year. But with such wide tyres and such big cars that's a lot better now.
"Of course it's more demanding but that's what we trained for in the winter so you have to be up for it."

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. — Psalm 46:1-2 (KJV)
God is not only our protector; he is also our helper. Even when our world seems to be crashing around us, he is there. He will deliver us from death or deliver us through death. He will deliver us from evil or he will deliver us to overcome evil. Our task is to trust that in the midst of our earthquakes and tidal waves we are not alone or abandoned.
Holy God, I pray for those today who are in the middle of life's earthquakes. You know those for whom I am concerned. You know I care about their struggles which are too big for me to mitigate and too painful for me to truly bring comfort. I ask you now, to bless them, be with them, and please deliver them quickly. You are our only true hope and Jesus is our only sure redeemer. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

I received the following this morning. Keep in mind, these surveys were sent out randomly and not everyone will receive one. If you do, however, PLEASE take the time to fill it out and send it back in.
2015 Georgia Feral Swine survey.
The UGA Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources and the UGA Cooperative Extension Service have once again joined forces to conduct a survey about the impacts feral swine are having in Georgia. Feral swine – also called feral pigs, feral hogs, wild pigs, wild hogs, and wild boar – can have multiple impacts on landowners. Many people enjoy hunting feral swine; others see them as a destructive nuisance.
This is a follow-up survey to a similar survey conducted in 2012. It is estimated that nationwide feral swine may cause between 1.5 billion and 2.5 billion dollars in damage to crops, fields, fences, equipment, water, landscape, forests, and other natural resources. The 2012 UGA-Warnell, Cooperative Extension survey estimated that feral swine cause up to $81 million dollars of damage in southwest Georgia alone.
The 2015 survey will be mailed out to 3000 Georgia residents – farmers and other rural landowners – to assess the impact of feral swine and to learn about control measures and attitudes residents have toward this animal. Survey recipients were chosen at random from a list of farmers and other rural landowners. All results will be combined and individual responses are completely anonymous. If you receive a copy of survey, please take 15-20 minutes to complete the survey and return in the postage-paid envelope provided with the survey.
Survey data will be collected and analyzed by wildlife students in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. Results will be shared with extension agents, legislators and wildlife managers in Georgia and the southeast in order to fully assess the impacts feral swine have on the Georgia economy and environment.
Questions about the survey should be directed to the principal investigator – Dr. Mike Mengak, Professor of Wildlife Management at email@example.com or 706-583-8096.

Almost everyone owns a vehicle and they don't always stay in good shape and this means for businesses in the automotive industry there is no decrease in business. This is an industry that is booming and opening your own automotive repair shop would be the perfect business opportunity if you have the skills. However, just like every other business, there are certain things that need to be done and they need to be done well. Here are some things you need to pay attention to when setting up an automotive repair shop.
The business venue
The venue is a big concern for many businesses and since an automotive repair shop focuses on providing a service this should be the first thing you think of. Firstly, it should be situated in a location that people can easily get to and the neighbourhood should be suitable for a business in this nature. On top of that, the workshop you have should be big enough for the work you intend to do and the features you need should be available.
The equipment you need
Once you get the location in the order you need to then focus on the facilities, equipment and supplies you need. When repairing vehicles there are a lot of things that you need to acquire and this is going to be where most of your investments will go to. Make sure you do your research and buy the right things. Whether it be something simple like stationary or something more important such as automotive cables makes sure you find the right supplies.
Dealing with suppliers
Since you will be needing a lot of supplies to fix cars make sure you build a good relationship with your suppliers. For example, finding some good automotive cable suppliers and building a relationship with them will make things easier in the long haul. Do your research and find businesses that you can easily work with and continue to work with them for as long as you can. A good business partnership is a valuable thing.
Getting and retaining customers
If you want your business to be successful you obviously need customers and this means you need to work on marketing. However, once you start getting customers to make sure your service is excellent so they'll keep coming back. This is not something that can be done in a day or two so patience is needed.
