Business on the Internet with the aid of Digital Data Roomsadmin
In our epoch, the business on the Internet is one of the common forms for earning a living. This is really progressive taking into consideration the fact that it works in different corners of the Earth. With the progress of social networking sites, we can see differing products on the Internet and in our days, it is not only the web-pages. People do a business on Snapchat, Facebook and so forth. Nevertheless, as any business, it also works with the info. Whereby to keep the archives and not to worry about their safekeeping? Our suggestion is the Deal Rooms . Whereby will they prove useful to you?
It stands to reason that it is your deal and you would like to maintain control over everything. It is not complicated wherethrough you are in a position to maintain control over all the activities of people using Virtual Repositories. You also have the possibility to control which records they glance over and so on. It goes without saying that you have broad-ranging messengers on your personal computer and smartphone. On the contrary, the Virtual Repositories offer you their Q&A module and you are not bound to switch between manifold apps.
Most of all, you have to think if the safekeeping of your files plays a key role for you. In cases when it does not, there is no point in paying for the Secure Online Data Rooms. In such a case, you have the unique chance to take advantage of other gratis DWs and not to waste your money. But upon condition that the safekeeping is an important thing for you, it is desired to utilize the Online Deal Rooms .
We are to admit that the Online Deal Rooms box data room will be crucial for any business dimensions. Just get acquainted with the customers of the best virtual providers among them, you will see the legal services, huge world banks, the best restaurants, energy providers and so on. This is so taking into consideration the fact that the opportunities of the Secure Online Data Rooms are wide and universal.
Virtual business is a thing which works 24-hour. Thuswise, you need the access to the records day-and-night. And you will get it on condition that you use the Electronic Repositories. By the same token, you are in a position to have it throughout the world. It is a matter of course that having some problems you are able to contact the technical assistance round-the-clock. This is not a secret that your partners or depositors can also work with the Virtual Rooms 24-hour. It is practical on condition that they are from various places of the Earth.
In cases when you always work on your personal computer, it will be wonderful for you to enjoy everything in one place. You do not have to visit land-based data rooms and to look for the data spending hours for it. You always have your computer turned on and just search the papers. It is clear that you need the Web for it. In other cases, you are free to use DVD or netstick.
In fine, we would place emphasis on the fact that nobody after using the Online Deal Rooms has returned to the traditional data rooms. Taking advantage of them you enjoy the amazing choice of positive effects which will make your working days easier and your deal more and more effective.

On Tuesday,
In the fall, Netflix launched service in Japan, Italy, Spain and Portugal and in early January at the Consumer Electronics Show they announced the availability of Netflix everywhere else in the world except China, bringing its total reach to 190 countries. In their letter to shareholders yesterday Reed Hastings, CEO and David Wells, CFO said "most of our focus is on the 130 countries we launched on January 6, which are now embracing Netflix as a new entertainment option."
Hastings and Wells also said "in the last remaining market, China, we have work and uncertainty ahead. We are building relationships, understanding the market, and seeking the conditions we require to provide our service to entertainment lovers there. Our expectations are modest and long-term. We may be able to get started this year and thus deliver on 'whole world by end of 2016' or it may take longer."
Netflix's first original feature films Beast of No Nation and The Ridiculous Six premiered in Q4, which coupled with big hits such as Narcos and Marvel's Jessica Jones, are part of the reason Netflix had 17 million net additions for last year. Netflix reports that its members streamed 42.5 billion hours in 2015, up from 29 billion hours in 2014, showing that more and more consumers are choosing to stream Netflix over watching cable TV, playing videogames or going to the movie theater. Its ability to mine the viewing habits of millions of subscribers is paying off. For example, Netflix has found using hard data that kids' content that parents enjoy and not just tolerate is very appealing for families and therefore a worthwhile investment.
With heavy competition domestically, and studios charging more for content, it is smart for Netflix to focus on international growth. And 2016 will be a big year for Netflix as it tries to enter the Chinese market. This international expansion strategy, coupled and supported with investments in original content that has global appeal, is a shift from its previous strategy to invest heavily in licensing content. And it may prove to be a really effective strategy, as Netflix seeks to differentiate from the myriad of emerging streaming services that have yet to make important inroads in international markets with original content.
I have argued that either aggregation of massive content or original content are viable paths, but Netflix needs strategic focus on one of the two to stay ahead of competition. If implemented effectively, the latest strategic focus on international expansion with original content will allow Netflix to become the premier digital studio of the new era: one that develops innovative content with global appeal for online distribution, taking advantage of the big data from tracking the viewing habits of its millions of customers, in order to break old paradigms about how to create content.

Sara Ali Khan was recently clicked inside a temple in Mumbai, where she was accompanied by her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan and mother Amrita Singh. As the paparazzi keeps tracking celebrity's every move, Sara was heavily papped which annoyed her.
Saif Ali Khan's daughter was seen offering her prayers and later distributing some things to the underprivileged outside the temple but maybe Sara wanted to be left alone by the photographers and wasn't in the mood to get clicked.
However, it seems like she just wanted to do the good deed in silence. Take a look at the video of Sara Ali Khan where she can be seen lashing out at the paparazzi for photographing.

"Get in the car! It's time to go!"
"I can't find my head band!!"
"I can't tie my shoe!"
"The dog just ate the cat's food!"
"Mo-om! Madelyn has on my socks!"
"Lets go guys, we are going to be late."
"uh Oh. I forgot, I was supposed to be at school early."
"and I have sharing!"
"ugh people!"
….five minutes later…the drop off….
"Ok guys, have a terrific day! I love you!"
"Bye! Love you!"
"Love you too!"
"Love you, Mama!"
"Wait! Jackson, we need to tie your shoes."
And so goes a typical morning 8 minutes before school — before work! As much as I try to prevent said drama, I always come up short. I do the setting things out the night before, get up earlier, take responsibility for your own lunch and making your bed thing. Still, the drama ensues. It's exhausting.
Suddenly it occurred to me that no one was asking for help. Oh they were asking ME for help, but they were not asking each other.
"Let's try this," I said, "instead of screaming, ask for help. Instead of whining, ask for help. And if you see that your sister or brother is struggling with something, ask them if you can help them. Now, that doesn't mean you do it for them, or you take over, or you put them down. Just say, 'can I help you with that?' AND, if someone offers to help you, you can say 'no thanks' in a polite way without getting snarky. Recognize that someone is trying to help you. And if you offer to help, and they say 'no' you can't take it personally. So let's stop screaming and start helping each other."
So far this modeling has worked 60% of the time….but what occurred to me was that asking for help, receiving it, and offering it are all learned behaviors. We don't innately know how to ask, offer, or receive help. Maybe it's ego that keeps us from this behavior. Maybe it's culture that defines help. Whatever it is, it struck me that every child is learning whether intentionally or not, how to ask and offer help.
As adults we take that behavior of helping on, either expecting it, or being embarrassed by needing it, or feeling that we don't deserve it.
I think helping is an art. It's never perfect. It takes practice and experimentation. It takes understanding two things. We can only help as far as we are able. We have to know our own limits in helping. And second, we have to be able to ask for help ourselves and receive it as it is offered. In essence we have to respect each other's humanity in the art of helping.
When Martha asks Jesus to tell Mary to help her. Jesus gets triangulated in family drama. Jesus didn't have mediation training, so he doesn't tell Martha to talk to Mary herself. He does tell her that she is troubled by many things and that Mary has chosen what was best for her. Did Martha say "fine" and leave and go out for Martinis with the girls? I would have.
Martha still needs help. I think Jesus helps her by seeing that what she needs help with is not emptying the dishwasher. She needs help in sitting still and leaving the dishes in the sink for one more hour. Chill out Martha. You're missing the point.
If the library books are late, or the hair isn't brushed, and there is sticky orange juice on the floor. Yeah, it's annoying and a royal pain, but chill out, and ask for help and take what you get. What matters is this:
"Have a great day! Know that I love you!"
"Bye! Love you too!"
"Love you!"
"Love you, Mama, see you after school!"

Prince William has long talked about his desire to live a more normal life and have a normal life for his children. However, according to some recent reports from The Daily Mail, he might be living that normal life at the expense of his royal duties.
Prince Charles, who has been the shadow for the Queen for quite a few years, has picked up many royal engagements during his time serving the country. The 66 year old has well over 640 social engagements in a year, appearances on behalf of the Queen, who is starting to give him more and more responsibilities as she ages, running Highgrove, the Duchy of Cornwall and, increasingly, running Sandringham, plus the constant demands of The Prince's Trust.
According to the report, it is The Prince's Trust that Charles would like William to take over, and he denied that request from his father. The trust "generates an annual turnover of £72 million," and is a great source of pride for Charles, who is in great distress that William would just allow the work to fall by the wayside.
William wants to live a "normal life" according to the report, which says that "William has said that he has been asked to take on the trust, but he has mixed feelings about it. He has his own charitable foundation and he wants to make his own mark. If he takes on his father's legacy, then it means he can't create his own. William is very definite about wanting to do his own thing. Charles to a degree has to accept that much of his increased workload is down to his own doing."
Not only that, but some sources say that Harry is also doing his own thing and doesn't want anything to do with the Royal duties.
Harry for the most part has been quite dedicated to his charity, Lesotho, for quite some time and it would be hard for him to give it up. However, according to many reports, William doesn't seem to be the one who is that interested in work - nor is Kate Middleton. Between the two of them, they don't even come up to half of the number of social appearances that Charles does in a year.
By any account, it is something the public won't stand for, nor the current Queen, so we may see some thinly veiled barbs being thrown in the coming years.

Theatre Review: Coming Clean, Trafalgar Studios
PUBLISHED: 12:16 15 January 2019
The King's Head's very funny revival of Kevin Elyot's play about sex, love and loyalty between a gay couple transfers to the West End
This very funny play has transferred to Trafalgar Studios after a successful run at The King's Head in Islington,
Kevin Elyot, writes clever, witty dialogue that keeps the audience laughing throughout. And yet, there is a hinterland where sensitive issues, such as domesticity, monogamy, freedom, sex and love are explored in some depth.
Tony and Greg are celebrating the fifth anniversary of their happy, long-term relationship. Although it's based on love and loyalty, they have always agreed that they are both free to enjoy brief sexual relationships with other men.
So far, it seems, they have combined the security of a reliable long-term partnership, with the joys of individual freedom. But is this sustainable? Given the complexities of the human psyche, people's changing needs as they grow older, the power of sexual attraction and, above all, the contradictions and complexities of love, this is inevitably problematical.
At what point does love become possessive or jealousy get out of control? No play can provide all the answers but this one examines some of the questions.
The four actors make a strong and cohesive team. Eliot Hadley, playing two very different characters, sets up the hilarious atmosphere at the start as well as capping it at the end.
However, his one-liners, delivered in the style of a stand-up comedian, seem often to belong to a different play.
Stanton Plumber-Cambridge, as Eliot, an apparently confident and successful writer, gradually reveals underlying insecurities and fears. Tony, his partner, sensitively interpreted by Lee Knight, is deeply in love with Eliot and yet, at another level, needs to break free.
Tom Lambert playing Robert, the attractive new cleaner, upsets this apparently ideal relationship. Amanda Mascarenhas has designed a set which accurately conveys the lack of interest in décor or domesticity of the people who live in it. The notion that, nevertheless, someone is still needed to do basic cooking and cleaning is another question thrown out by this intricate play.
Director Adam Spreadbury-Maher, focuses on the humour and has created a lively evening's entertainment with plenty to talk about on the way home.

Lindsay Takkunen
Lindsay Takkunen will be scouting in Africa for RecruitLook. She currently resides in Kenya.
Takkunen was a multi-sport athlete growing up, and was fortunate to get recruited on a division one swimming scholarship. She has since dedicated her career as a coach and mentor for athletes seeking to further their education through sport.
Throughout her twenty-years of coaching (fourteen years of coaching internationally), she has grown to understand the challenges faced by international athletes. Many have a keen interest and desire to attend university in the US, but none of them know how to get started on the recruiting process. As a result, many international athletes look to other countries that are more familiar to them.
Over the years, she has counseled athletes on the recruiting process, and as a result several athletes have attended universities in the US and Canada.
Takkunen brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the International Recruiting Team at RecruitLook, and her strengths in mentoring athletes on an international level are:
-Coach and athlete contacts in several countries including: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Philippines, Singapore, UK, Canada, and US.
-Strong knowledge of the major international curriculums including IGCSEs, A-Levels, IB Diploma, and Metric.
-Strong understanding of various cultural backgrounds and customs. This becomes extremely important when managing the expectations of parents and athletes
"Understanding that the world is full of talent, but not everyone is given the opportunity needed to grow and nurture that talent. My vision as part of the RecruitLook family will be to look for that talent and ensure it is provided with the opportunity needed to flourish and succeed." –Lindsay Takkunen
Wallis Debourou
Wallis Debourou is leading the European division for RecruitLook International. He'll be the liaison for international recruits coming to the United States. Wallis currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio.
Wallis Debourou was born in Paris, France and raised in Benin (West Africa). Wallis moved back to France from Benin when he was 12-years old to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional soccer player. Wallis' love for soccer led him to play Academy soccer at FC Bourg-Peronnas, which is an affiliated club to Olympique Lyonnais (also known as Lyon and they compete in France's highest football division, Ligue 1). Wallis soccer career continued to skyrocket, and other European clubs were taking notice. Following his stint with FC Bourg-Peronnas, Wallis was invited to play for Athletic Club De Boulogne-Billancourt which is an affiliated club to Paris Saint Germain.
Wallis moved to the United States in 2010 where he joined a prestigious prep school in Blairstown, New Jersey. Wallis excelled once he got to the States — making the U18 New York Red Bulls Academy as well as the U18 Players Development Academy.
Wallis was getting recruited by American colleges ever since his playing days in Europe. He found the recruiting process for international players frustrating and hard to comprehend. Wallis was fortunate to have connected with the right people, and play on the right teams for better recruiting exposure. He earned a scholarship to play division one soccer at Cleveland State University.
Wallis is excited to join RecruitLook International to help international recruits bring their talents to America!

While most of the smartphone talk typically surrounds the latest and greatest flagship smartphones, it is the mid and budget range of handsets that literally seems to be exploding these days. Largely thanks to an influx of new OEMs who all looking to bring as much value as possible. An influx which means the availability of decent spec devices, at really affordable prices, just keeps growing. In fact, a new handset has now become available to pre-order and this one continues the trend of packing in a decent number of features and specs and at a rock bottom price. This is the Vernee Thor smartphone.

While in terms of cameras, this is a smartphone which offers a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

Nolan was ready for a nap. Problem is, it's 7:30 at night at he thinks he's going for a nap. He sleeps through the night, so I'll let it slide. He's currently asleep upstairs while Lindsay is out running three miles and I sit here with baseball on in the background pecking away at the keyboard. Which brings me to the point of this post–bedtime routine.
We head upstairs with Nolan at 7:00 pm to start drawing a bath. He gets in no problem. As a matter of fact, he enjoys going in the water. He splashes (us) but shrieks when we try to wash his hair. Two on one dude, we win. He finishes bathtime and dries off. Right on. We then head into his room where it's mandatory to pile on 10 aden + anais blankets on him while he sits on his lamb couch in the corner of the room (I apologize for not having any pictures). We cap off the blanketing by tossing him his pillow.
Now the fun part begins.
He needs to get his step stool and put it in front of the crib. He then has us toss each blanket, one by one, to him so he can throw it in the crib from the step stool–all while feverishly laughing. When the blankets are all in, it's time for the pillow. Then I take a blanket out, head to his door, and he counts up to three and we take off, like a human rocket, into his crib. Red monkey and a stress-type hockey puck await him on his pillow. Occasionally, he'll have a near-breakdown because he wants his socks on, but when he says it, it sounds more like a part of the male anatomy.
We then say "see ya" or "goodnight" or "bye bye," which he'll repeat, and we walk out. Mission accomplished.
Now the question I have is not whether or not this is normal behavior displayed by both parent and child. I question whether or not this is a better routine than the one we had seven months ago. We'd have to lay in his room with him, wait for him to fall asleep, and then left. He would hear every creak in the floorboards and spring up. He'd hear my old knees crack and stand up. He heard everything. It was not normal.
Eventually, we just stopped staying in there and walked out, which he was fine with as well. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think we're the ones who invented this new debacle called a bedtime routine.
Nice job.

When shopping for a car for a teen driver, there are a lot of factors to stay on top of, but safety is the most important. Due to their inexperience, willingness to take risks and lower likelihood of wearing seatbelts, young drivers are four times more likely to have a crash than older drivers are. But, with the right car, some of the risks of teen driving can be mitigated. Check out our best cars for teens slideshow, and read our Best Cars for Teen Drivers article to learn more about teen driving and the best cars for keeping teens safe on the road.

Introduction: Interferon alpha (IFN-α) has a complex role in autoimmunity, in that it may both enhance and prevent inflammation. We have previously shown that the presence of IFN-α at sensitization protects against subsequent antigen-triggered arthritis. To understand this tolerogenic mechanism, we performed a descriptive, hypothesis-generating study of cellular and humoral responses associated with IFN-α-mediated protection against arthritis.Methods: Arthritis was evaluated at day 28 in mice given a subcutaneous injection of methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA), together with Freund adjuvant and 0 to 5,000 U IFN-α at days 1 and 7, followed by intraarticular injection of mBSA alone at day 21. The effect of IFN-α on mBSA-specific IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgA, and IgE was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cytokines in circulation and in ex vivo cultures on mBSA restimulation was evaluated with ELISA and Luminex, and the identity of cytokine-producing cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis.Results: Administration of IFN-α protected mice from arthritis in a dose-dependent manner but had no effect on antigen-specific antibody levels. However, IFN-α did inhibit the initial increase of IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF, and the recall response induced by intraarticular mBSA challenge of IL-1β, IL-10, IL-12, TNF, IFN-γ, and IL-17 in serum. IFN-α decreased both macrophage and CD4+ T cell-derived IFN-γ production, whereas IL-17 was decreased only in CD4+ T cells. Ex vivo, in mBSA-restimulated spleen and lymph node cell cultures, the inhibitory effect of in vivo administration of IFN-α on proinflammatory cytokine production was clearly apparent, but had a time limit. An earlier macrophage-derived, and stronger activation of the antiinflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) was observed in IFN-α-treated animals, combined with an increase in CD4+ T cells producing TGF-β when arthritis was triggered by mBSA (day 21). Presence of IFN-α at immunizations also prevented the reduction in TGF-β production, which was induced by the intraarticular mBSA injection triggering arthritis in control animals.Conclusions: Administration of IFN-α has a profound effect on the cellular response to mBSA plus adjuvant, but does not affect antigen-specific Ig production. By including IFN-α at immunizations, spleen and lymph node cells inhibit their repertoire of antigen-induced proinflammatory cytokines while enhancing antiinflammatory TGF-β production, first in macrophages, and later also in CD4+ T cells. On intraarticular antigen challenge, this antiinflammatory state is reenforced, manifested as inhibition of proinflammatory recall responses and preservation of TGF-β levels. This may explain why IFN-α protects against antigen-induced arthritis. © 2013 Chalise et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
Type I Interferons (mainly IFN-α & IFN-β) belong to a family of cytokines that possess strong antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. Pro- and/or anti-inflammatory effects of type I IFN have been observed in infectious diseases and several autoimmune diseases including SLE, MS, RA and experimental models thereof, but what defines either outcome is largely obscure. The main aim of this thesis is to understand how IFN-α may act anti-inflammatory in a model of antigen-induced arthritis (AIA). In this model, mice are sensitised with methylated-BSA (mBSA) emulsified in Freund's adjuvant at day 1 and 7 followed by intra-articular injection of mBSA in the knee joint at day 21, which induces arthritis within 1 week.
Administration of IFN-α at the time of mBSA sensitisations (day 1 and day 7) but not at induction of arthritis (day 21) clearly protected against arthritis in a type I IFN receptor dependent manner. Humoral immunity might not be involved in this protection as the levels of antigen-specific IgG (total, IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b), IgA, IgE in serum were not altered in IFN-α treated mice. However, IFN-α-protection was accompanied by delayed and decreased antigen-specific proliferative responses in spleen and lymph node cells ex vivo, including impaired proliferative recall responses after intra-articular antigenic challenge.
In the course of AIA, IFN-α inhibited the increase of circulatory IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF in the sensitisation phase (day 0-21) and also the re-call response of IL-1β, IL-10, IL-12, TNF, IFN-γ, and IL-17 induced by intra-articular mBSA challenge in arthritis phase (day 21-28). This IFN-α-inhibition of cytokines was also apparent in mBSA-re-stimulated spleen and lymph node cell cultures ex vivo, including inhibited cytokine production in CD4+ T helper cells and macrophages. In contrast to the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the levels of immunomodulatory TGF-β was clearly enhanced in IFN-α-treated mice, both in serum and in re-stimulated leucocytes cultures including both macrophages, especially in the sensitisation phase, and in CD4+ T cells in the arthritis phase. By inhibiting TGF-β signalling in vivo, the protective effect of IFN-α was shown to be dependent on TGF-β signalling in the sensitisation phase.
The cytokine TGF-β is an activator of the indoleamine 2,3 dioxygnese (IDO1), a potent immuneregulatory component that acts via enzymatic production of kynurenine (Kyn) and signalling activity. The IFN-α-protective effect in AIA was associated with both increased expression and enzymatic activity of IDO1 and the IFN-α-protection was totally ablated in mice lacking IDO1 expression (IDO1 KO mice) and in mice treated with the inhibitor of the enzymatic activity of IDO1 (1-Methyl Tryptophan; 1-MT). Interestingly, administration of the IDO-metabolite Kyn protected mice from AIA in an IFNARindependent manner. These observations show that the IDO1 enzymatic activity is important for the protective effect of IFN-α. Using 1-MT, it was further shown that the enzymatic activity of IDO1 was, like TGF-β, crucial only at the sensitisation but not in the arthritis phase of AIA for IFN-α to protect against arthritis. Instead, IDO1's non-enzymatic signalling activity, characterized by sustained expression of IDO1 and non-canonical NF-κB activation in pDCs, was observed in the arthritis phase in spleen cells from mice treated with IFN-α.
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) were also found to be important for IFN-α-protection in AIA. Transient depletion of Treg cells by diphtheria toxin in DEREG mice in the arthritis phase, but not during the sensitisation phase abolished IFN-α-protection. Treatment with IFN-α enhanced the numbers of Treg cells in the course of AIA and their function; compared to untreated mice, Treg cells isolated at day 10 and 20 of AIA from IFN-α- treated mice exhibited higher suppressive activity against mBSA-stimulated proliferation of responder T cells. The enhancing effect of IFN-α on Treg cell numbers was observed in blood, spleen, LNs and also in ex-vivo cultures of leucocytes re-stimulated with mBSA and IFN-α. Although IFN-α clearly increased the suppressive activity of Treg cells, adoptive transfer of Treg cells from mBSA immunized mice, regardless of IFN-α treatment, prevented the development of arthritis.
In the presence of IFN-α during antigen sensitisation, a state of tolerance is established, which is able to prevent joint inflammation induced by antigenic re-challenge. This immunological tolerance is created in the sensitisation phase of AIA and is characterized by inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased TGF-β production and activity of the IDO1 enzyme, the latter two being indispensable for IFN-α-induced protection. Administration of Kyn, the metabolite of the enzymatic activity of IDO1, in the sensitisation phase also protected against AIA downstream of type I IFN signalling. In the arthritis phase regulatory T cells, whose numbers and suppressive capacity was clearly enhanced by IFN-α, mediate the actual prevention of arthritis development in IFN-α-treated animals. We have thus identified molecular and cellular components of the anti-inflammatory program elicited by IFN-α including Kyn that may not have the pro-inflammatory effects associated with IFN.

Presented work considers flow and thermal phenomena occurring during the single minijet impingement on curved surfaces, heated with a constant heat flux, as well as the array of minijets. Numerical analyses, based on the mass, momentum and energy conservation laws, were conducted, regarding single phase and two-phase simulations. Focus was placed on the proper model construction, in which turbulence and boundary layer modeling was crucial. Calculations were done for various inlet parameters. Initial single minijet results served as the basis for the main calculations, which were conducted for two jet arrays, with flat and curved heated surfaces. Such complex geometries came from the cooling systems of electrical devices, and the geometry of cylindrical heat exchanger. The results, regarding Nusselt number, heated surface temperature, turbulence kinetic energy, production of entropy and vorticity, were presented and discussed. For assumed geometrical parameters similar results were obtained.

Steady state two-dimensional numerical simulation of laminar heat transfer and fluid flow in a scraped surface heat exchanger (SSHE) is presented. Typical SSHE consists of a stator, rotating shaft and scraping blades. Due to symmetry only a quarter of the heat exchanger is modelled. Governing equations for transport of mass, momentum and energy are discretised and solved with the use of commercial CFD code. The results are presented in a nondimensional form for velocity, pressure and temperature distributions. Local and averaged Nusselt number along the stator wall are calculated and depicted in graphs. It was found that the thirty fold increase of the cReynolds number, leads to heat transfer enhancement rate by three times.

This paper presents the numerical solution to the unsteady natural convection problem in micropolar fluid in the vicinity of a vertical plate, heat flux of which rises suddenly at a given moment. In order to solve this problem the method of finite differences was applied. The numerical results have been presented for a range of values of the dimensionless material properties and fluid Prandtl number. The analysis of the results shows that the intensity of the heat transfer in micropolar fluid is lower compared to the Newtonian fluid.

Cooling is indispensable for maintaining the desired performance and reliability over a very huge variety of products like electronic devices, computer, automobiles, high power laser system etc. Apart from the heat load amplification and heat fluxes caused by many industrial products, cooling is one of the major technical challenges encountered by the industries like manufacturing sectors, transportation, microelectronics, etc. Normally water, ethylene glycol and oil are being used as the fluid to carry away the heat in these devices. The development of nanofluid generally shows a better heat transfer characteristics than the water. This research work summarizes the experimental study of the forced convective heat transfer and flow characteristics of a nanofluid consisting of water and 1% Al2O3(volume concentration) nanoparticle flowing in a parallel flow, counter flow and shell and tube heat exchanger under laminar flow conditions. The Al2O3 nanoparticles of about 50 nm diameter are used in this work. Three different mass flow rates have been selected and the experiments have been conducted and their results are reported. This result portrays that the overall heat transfer coefficient and dimensionless Nusselt number of nanofluid is slightly higher than that of the base liquid at same mass flow rate at same inlet temperature. From the experimental result it is clear that the overall heat transfer coefficient of the nanofluid increases with an increase in the mass flow rate. It shows that whenever mass flow rate increases, the overall heat transfer coefficient along with Nusselt number eventually increases irrespective of flow direction. It was also found that during the increase in mass flow rate LMTD value ultimately decreases irrespective of flow direction. However, shell and tube heat exchanger provides better heat transfer characteristics than parallel and counter flow heat exchanger due to multi pass flow of nanofluid. The overall heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number and logarithmic mean temperature difference of the water and Al2O3/water nanofluid are also studied and the results are plotted graphically.

*Energy Instensifying
Aloha All,
James asked me to update you all on what's been happening energetically and why you may be feeling anxious, irritable, flowing between anger and grief and almost feeling like you can't stand to be in your skin. If you're not feeling it, others around you may be and if they are not conscious of what's happening then they can "detox" all over you energetically.
There is a conflux of two major happenings taking place as well as a third influence.
1. 11th Dimensional Craft getting closer to Earth
11th Dimensional Craft getting closer to Earth
As James always says, if you don't like what you're feeling, do a healing. If you feel awash with anger or sadness, first ask IS THIS MINE? This moves you from reaction to observing. Those of us that are empathic and sensitive will be feeling the purging and releasing of anger and grief from the collective human consciousness and sometimes it can be OVERWHELMING.
Solar Sector Boundary Crossing in Space
SOLAR SECTOR BOUNDARY CROSSING: On April 29th or 30th, Earth (crossed) a fold in the heliospheric current sheet–a vast wavy structure in interplanetary space separating regions of opposite magnetic polarity. This is called a "solar sector boundary crossing," and it could trigger geomagnetic activity around Earth's poles. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms when the crossing occurs.
When James and I tipped on it we found that this physical happening of the Earth crossing the fold in space and the timing of the 11th Dimensional Craft coming into our galaxy are not a coincidence – that the 11th Dimensional Craft is using this fold in space as a means of propulsion and an amplifier of the 11th Dimensional frequency transmission. For those of you that are sensitive to solar flares, this multiplier effect may feel almost unbearable. And, although I am repeating myself, those in your circle who are not consciously aware may be having a very difficult time dealing with the intensity of feeling and emotion.
Planets in Retrograde
First, breathe. Being consciously aware is the first step. Call in your Main Teacher/Guide (or Jeshua or Babaji or Cazekiel) and do the Healing Negative Influences Process. Then, go outside into nature and walk barefoot if you can and ask your Higher Self to assist you in grounding these energies through your Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Bodies into Mother Gaia. What you are doing is being an antennae for the 11th Dimensional Frequencies, grounding it through your body, into Gaia and then assisting in transmitting it out into the Collective Consciousness. If you follow these steps and breathe you will feel the energy dissipating.
If others around you are losing it, call in your Main Teacher/Guide and think of the other person and do the Healing Negative Influences process for them.
See yourself and the other person/persons bathed in Divine Light
Hang in there, ground and if it feels like it will help you tune into our Healing Teleconference this Wednesday night – we can answer questions about what's happening in your energy field and how to recalibrate to ease the intensity.
In Mastery,

New Year: new attempt at note organization
I am always trying to find the best way to organize my random work notes and tips that I tend to collect in various notebooks, post-its, etc. I started keeping a text file last year, which was rather plain-Jane, but did the trick. Kurt, however, just introduced me to org-mode in Emacs, and I love it! Org-mode is extremely powerful. You can insert date stamps, create tags and link across multiple entries, create levels and sublevels and fold/unfold sections, highlight code blocks according to the scripting language, etc. Included html links are active from the get-go, and you can even include equations, graphics, and tables. One of the best parts is that you can export to HTML, PDF (via LaTeX), and DocBook.
Here is a sample of what my notes look like in Aquamacs using org-mode. I have organized my notes by program/tool, but you could also organize by date and use org-mode to keep a daily log. On the org-mode website, you'll see tons of examples. You can also use org-mode as a task scheduler and day planner. The possibilities seem endless.
And here is the resulting HTML file (ignore the old dates, I imported my old notes from last year):

Stop smoking program
Are cigarettes still your friend? If you've started to feel uncomfortable with the fact that this is a friend that betrays you, steals you energy, youth, life and money, then perhaps it is time to consider ending this relationship.
Hypnosis makes it easy to end this relationship because it works with your subconscious emotional part of your mind. Hypnosis literally changes your feelings towards cigarettes, from feeling attached and preoccupied with thoughts of cigarettes, cigarette paraphernalia & smoking areas to feeling unburdened.
The hypnosis program is a two session program, which is tailored to the individual.
On the first session I will teach you a powerful tool for removing all cravings for cigarettes in a matter of seconds.
Stop smoking program
I will also use your own reasons for wanting to stop smoking in the session.
Then we will remove any of your triggers which are associated to cigarettes (e.g. typical triggers are: having a cigarette with a coffee breaks, or having a cigarette first thing in the morning).
By the end of the session you will feel, totally FREE! From then on people state that they literally forget to smoke.
However I also add a follow up second session to ensure that the work we've done is permanent and any remaining triggers that were possibly missed on the first session are dealt with.
I look forward to helping you with any questions about the smoking habit and your journey to freedom.
You can also listen my recording "Motivation for smoking cessation".

We recommend upgrading to Windows 10 to continue receiving security updates and technical support. 01 of 07 Find Problem Steps Recorder Screenshot One of the best new things about Windows 7 is the Problem Steps Recorder, a fantastic troubleshooting tool. Let's say you're having problems with a program that's crashing. Instead of calling a computer-savvy friend or your company's Help Desk and trying to describe what's happening, you can simply turn on Problem Steps Recorder, go through the sequence that's causing the trouble, turn off the Recorder and email the problem for diagnosis. Problem Steps Recorder takes a picture, also called a "screengrab" or "screenshot," of every action you take. It compiles those into a little slideshow, complete with a written description of each action (you don't add that — the program does it for you). When it's finished, you can easily email the slideshow to anyone you need to. The first step is to left-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows 7 and type in "problem steps recorder" in the search window at the bottom (the window says "Search programs and files" and has a magnifying glass to the right). The top result is shown in the screenshot above. Click Record steps to reproduce a problem to open Problem Steps Recorder. 02 of 07 Start Problem Steps Recorder Screenshot Here is the Problem Steps Recorder bar. The main things you'll be using are "Start Record", "Stop Record", and the downward-facing triangle at the far right (discussed later). Left-click the red Start Record button, then go through the steps you took that were causing the problem. For purposes of this article, I recorded the steps I took to open a graphic in a free image-editing tool called Paint.NET. Let's assume I had a problem with opening a graphic and wanted to capture the steps I took and send them to a friend who's an expert in this program. 03 of 07 Record Your Steps Screenshot After starting Problem Steps Recorder, the program will record everything you do, right down to scrolling up or down in a window to find something. The best part is that you don't have to do anything manually; all the steps are automatically recorded, and notation added that describes what you did in each step. Notice how in the screenshot here that Problem Steps Recorder outlined the step in green. At the top (which I outlined in red), it records what step number this was in my sequence (Step 10), the date and time, and the narrative of my action (in this case, double-clicking on the Paint.NET icon to open the program.) 04 of 07 Stop Recording or Add a Comment Screenshot When you're done, click Stop Record. You can also pause the recording at this point, and add notes of your own; just click Add Comment and spell out any difficulties. If you add a comment, Problem Steps Recorder pauses your sequences an puts a sort of white veil over the program. You can highlight a problem area on the screen (by dragging a rectangle around it) and inserting your comment. That will be added to the slideshow; it may help the troubleshooter to better understand something you saw or did at this point. 05 of 07 Save the File Screenshot After you've stopped recording, you need to save file Problem Steps Recorder made. The dialogue box shown here will pop up automatically. Save it to a location on your hard drive: I recommend saving to your desktop, as shown in the red rectangle at the top of the screen, because that will make it easier to find. Next, you need to give it a filename. Make it as specific as possible, so that the person fixing your issue will have some idea of the problem. In the example here, outlined in red at the bottom, I've named it "UsingPaint.NET." Accept the default "Save as type" setting; no need to change that. 06 of 07 Select Email Option Screenshot After saving the file on your desktop, go back to the main Problem Steps Recorder bar and click the downward-facing triangle. You'll be presented with a drop-down menu. From this menu, select "Send to E-mail recipient". This will call up your email client. 07 of 07 Send the Email Problem Steps Recorder makes it easy to email your new document to anyone for assistance. Problem Steps Recorder takes the hassle out of emailing your document to whomever you want. It opens your default email client (in this case, Microsoft Outlook) and automatically attaches the file created in Step 5 (the attachment is outlined in red). It adds the "Subject" line for you, although you can change this if you want it more specific or personalized. For this example, I've added a bit of detail that may help the problem-solver. Click Send and you're done. Learning to use the Problem Steps Recorder can save hours of time over the typical phone call scenario. Getting familiar with it is something you should do early on in your Windows 7 experience. Continue Reading

Why was I amused? Because there are no written sources from the era of Abraham that could reasonably be expected to mention him. So the only source of information that could shed light on Abraham's era is archaeology.
And any respectable archaeologist would know that there is no way, from the archaeological record, to declare the nonexistence of a particular historical individual.
As the saying goes, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." For instance, for many years many archaeologists were convinced that the great Maya city-states of Mesoamerica were peaceful — in part because there were no signs of fortification.
Then Mayan writing was finally decoded and translated, and the newly available historical records made it clear that warfare between Mayan city-states was constant and far-reaching.

The HVAC system is essential to the comfort of your home, but many homeowners don't know much about it. Learning the ins and outs of choosing an HVAC professional to maintain or repair your system is a wise move for any smart homeowner. If you're looking for help, then you've come to the right article.
If your HVAC is running into problems, check out each room in your house before calling for assistance. Pay attention to which areas of the house are warm and which ones are cool. Taking this step aids a contractor in figuring out what the problem is and how to repair it as quickly as possible.
Clean your fan and coils when the weather begins to warm. Before you do clean the coils and fan blades, always take the precaution of turning off all power to the unit. Clean off any leaves or debris from your external condenser unit.
Avoid showering your outdoor unit with grass clippings when you mow the lawn. Shoot grass the other way. Also do this when blowing leaves or shoveling snow.
When selecting the spot to put the outdoor compressor for your unit, choose somewhere that gets plenty of shade. The cooler the air which goes in, the less work the unit will have to do.
It is very important that your HVAC system is serviced two times a year. The best times to have the system checked is spring and fall, so you are sure everything is running at peak performance before the heating and cooling seasons. Although there might not be any noticeable issues, it is important to provide regular upkeep to prevent bad things from happening.
A programmable thermostat is a simple way to help save money on air conditioning costs. If you adjust it to keep the house a little warmer or a little cooler during the time you are sleeping, you may see your energy bill go down by as much as ten percent. Furthermore, there are a few programmable thermostats that you can control from your computer or any other web-connected device.
A working HVAC system is important to keep your home comfy. However, when you don't hire the right skilled professional, it can cause major frustrations and equipment breakdown. Thankfully, the tips above can assist a homeowner with their HVAC system.

1,930 contacts to start this 2019 new year off. This number continues to climb and fall, somewhat to the natural rhythm of the New York Stock Exchange as I gain connections, and quickly lose many of those connections, as well as lose old connections. But, this is how I have become even more productive and powerful in advancing my consulting career of the last 10 years now. And, just this morning, only 30 minutes ago, I divorced yet another connection of mine which I only recently gained.
While gaining contacts, i.e. genuine, true, connections of action, is the best situation, I am always very happy to drop a useless, unprofessional, and uncivil contact as well. This is because it reminds me that I am one person closer to connecting with professional people who seek quid-pro-quo relationships to help each other in our business and/or academic endeavors. Such people are the ones who help fulfill the original and true purpose of LinkedIn – to connect and network with professionals and, thus, advance businesses.
However, unfortunately, LinkedIn users have succumbed to the perpetuation of the immature and useless nature of almost all other typical social media platforms. Also, even more damaging, LinkedIn users have succumbed to the pathetic and vile core characteristic of incivility that spreads this entire global society with the speed of Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, one of the Pleiades, as he runs across this land at supersonic speeds of over 770 mph (1239 kph). This uncivil nature of people across countries, cultures, industries, and languages includes those who lazy and narcissistic people who subscribe and profess the disgusting practices of "ghosting" people, ignoring communications (emails, text/instant messages); practices which are becoming evermore popular and accepted in this day of uncaring. This is exactly what started the creation of various articles by my colleagues Dr. Pooja Gupta (Ph.D.) and Afnan Alfatih Altayeb Ahmed, and myself.
- Resolving Incivility In Business By Developing An Interconnected Systems Mindset, November 20, 2018, https://medium.com/@drhermansjr/resolving-incivility-in-business-by-developing-an-interconnected-systems-mindset-8d8abecafcd5
- Why I Decided to Delete So Many of My LinkedIn Contacts, March 15, 2017, https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-i-decided-delete-so-many-my-linkedin-contacts-dr-hermansjr-/
- 500 Less LinkedIn Contacts & I Could Not Be Happier, June 6, 2017, https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/500-less-linkedin-contacts-i-could-happier-dr-hermansjr-/
- The Power & Necessity of Divorcing From LinkedIn Contacts, February 16, 2018, https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/power-necessity-divorcing-from-linkedin-contacts-dr-hermansjr-/
Ergo, I happily continue this path that helps me divorce from any insincere contacts in LinkedIn, and all across every real-world and virtual landscape, so my time on this planet is used wisely with sincere contacts to collaborate and help each other in advancing our businesses, our names.
So, if you are reading this, are one of my connections, and regularly excuse yourself from being civil to others because you subscribe to the sad mentality that allows you to treat others in the way mentioned here because you are above them, and, ergo, need not provide a, literally, 15-30 second reply, then, please, disconnect from me and even block me. You will be doing me a favor.
