Leaving high school and beginning the next chapter of your adult life at uni feels like a giant leap of independence. Leaving your parents' nest and moving out feels more like growing wings and being promptly shoved off a cliff, hoping to the best that some survival instinct will kick in before you become a feathery soup of smoosh on the sidewalk.

Why I never took a gap year
It's tempting to take a gap year after finishing your Year 12 studies forever. But then again, the three months from November to the end of February is a lot of time to relax, recharge and watch copious amounts of Netflix in between working the Christmas retail period. For me, I was certain that jumping straight into uni the following year was a must. The ambition and desire to succeed in life drove me to take on this challenge that graduates refer to wholeheartedly as just "uni". Working Christmas in the newsagency and walking around the calendar stalls a million times in a busy shopping centre gave me lots of time to reflect on my life. Read more
Be career competent: do your research
Around this time 5 years ago my friends and I spent our lunchtimes excitedly chattering about what we were doing next year at uni and what we would do in the big wide world in the years that would follow. Our dream courses and careers were wide and varied. From acting to medicine, to law and interior design, we couldn't wait to 'get on with it' and follow the smooth path from uni to living a working adult life. 5 years and many degree changes later and we are still having that conversation.

If I knew then, what I know now – 3 lessons from 4 years of Uni
For some readers of the QUT Student Blog, I'm probably an old and familiar face. So old, my first blog post in 2014 was carved onto a stone tablet and placed on the pantheon for all to read. But like fine wine I have aged well and have accumulated a wealth of experience and wisdom to pass on to my fellow Hermione Granger haired youths on their first foray into the wild adventure of tertiary education. In honour of my many years of study, here are three things I wish I could tell first year Laura at the start of uni.
QTAC time
This blog post is dedicated to high school students (and their families) who are soon to make one of the most important decisions of their lives. Of course, I'm talking about the stressful time that is QTAC application season. Read more
Indoors, outdoors, it's all good these holidays!
The winter holidays are a good time to spend indoors as it can be a little bit chilly outside – certainly not weather to be tanning at the beach. But sometimes it's worth going outside, especially if you live in a wonderful city called Brisbane!
Holidays on a budget? Make the most of the city!
One of the best things about QUT is how close it is to the CBD. Just a 5 minute walk finds you in some of the city's best cafes and restaurants. But as uni student, finding the money to splurge can be hard!
One of the most valuable places for a student to explore is the Asian supermarket! On a student budget, with very little skills needed, there are some gems to be found if you know what you are looking for! Read more
Best of both worlds: part-time study and Hannah Montana
For my fellow millennials reading this post, you may be aware of the early work of Miley Cyrus in the Disney Channel show 'Hannah Montana'. If you're unfamiliar with the Hannah Montana narrative (shame on you) I'll give you the run down; Miley is a regular teenage girl by day who leads a secret double life as international pop star 'Hannah Montana' by night. It's a performance, it is a balancing act that I believe is almost analogous to my experience juggling work and part-time study (except without the wigs and musical numbers…mostly). Read more
QUT Made it Possible for me to Travel and Study
When I started university, I never had the immediate urge to travel to foreign lands. This was mainly because of my lack of savings and just general nervousness of starting this new phase of life; leaving the high-school routine I had gotten ever so used to and stepping into this large, scary pond filled with new knowledge and a whole bunch of expectations.

Setting up as a forex broker can be pretty challenging and time-consuming so in order to be successful, brokers need to get the basics right first.
While a currency trading broker usually handles a very small portion of the foreign exchange market – typically the market is made up of banks, management firms, institutions – increasingly individual investors, powered by the internet are playing a greater role in the global network FX brokers from around the world.
Forex brokers have the power to connect retail forex traders to the forex market, who are constantly posting bids and asking for the value of a currency pair that may differ from the most competitive bid in the market.
To become respected, forex brokers need to ensure that they create and maintain an outstanding reputation and operate to high ethical standards.
As well having the prerequisite approval from the relevant authority like the FCA or CYSEC, for example, having the following will also help:
- A fully functioning website: The website itself must explain the offerings and features of your company and it should have web applications such as CRM and CSM available.
- Trading platform: The platform should meet client's requirements and should include features such as real-time trading, built in SMS system for alerts and notifications, back office multi-level management and auto trading capabilities.
- Margin Account: This is a master account of the brokerage, where all clients' trades are processed, with a good liquidity provider who will accept client's trades.
- Business model: There is an abundance of brokers in the market, so in order to stand out brokers need to offer some genuine points of difference from the competition
- Traders dashboard: This create a professional outlook and can help enhance clients trading experience as well as making it easier to organise client's data, trading history, financial data, etc.
Overall, the FX industry continues to be one of the fastest growing markets with plenty of profitable opportunities, but it is worth investing time and resources to establishing a trusted and successful brokerage.

Water Garden Features – Step #2
To start to think about water garden features you must first have an idea of what type of water garden you would like to create.
There are basically three main types of water garden design features:
1. Raised Ponds ľ The raised pond is a good looking easy to build water garden that can be put together in little time. It does require basic masonry skills to set a footing and stack and secure the concrete blocks or bricks.
2. Sunken Ponds ľ The sunken pond requires digging large amounts of dirt and either inserting a flexible liner, preformed liner or pouring concrete into its space. You then can add nice patio stone around to compliment its round contours or make it square like an ancient roman bath.
3. Bogs ľ The bog is a disorganized, irregular shaped cutout in the ground that can be shallow or deep. A bog is built by simply digging out some ground and laying a flexible liner into it held down by sand, plants and rocks. If you enjoy frogs, dragonflies and other wildlife this water garden style is for you. A bog can also be natural without a liner and very little water, used to manage and filter rainwater runoff which is an important environmental feature.
You will also want to consider other additional water garden features to make it special. A water garden without the sound of water to me is not a water garden at all and most people would agree.
There are three popular water garden features that bring sound with them:
1. Cascade ľ A cascade feature is a series of waterfalls that run down over rocks into small pools before trickling into a main pond. This cascading water adds a gentle sound to the surrounding environment.
2. Waterfall ľ A waterfall feature is like a cliff with an undercut in its lip, the water rolls out to the end, and then drops off falling into the water garden pond below. A waterfall adds louder water flow sounds that can be softened by adding rocks where it lands.
3. Fountain ľ A water fountain throws water into the air from a pump and tube below the surface of the water or embedded in a statue usually in the center of a pond.
There are all kinds of other water garden features like bridges, stepping stones, seeping water masks, and anything the creative water garden designer can think of. A great way to bring it all together into you mind is to think about a theme and what features will complete your vision. I have a pile of old wooden whiskey kegs out back and I am in love with the ocean so my first idea was to bring the ocean to the city. I thought of decking like on a dock and a pile of whiskey barrels with pump and filter in them to transfer water below. There would be beach sand and grasses blowing in the wind, these features just all fit into place in my mind but you will have entirely different ideas.
If you are lacking ideas, like I was about what features and theme to do, go to the bookstore and look at a few books on water gardens. In them you will find all kinds of great pictures and examples that will help in this new creative endeavor. Need to put a fence in behind the pond or want to build a concrete retaining wall behind your planned waterfall? There are books and magazines that cover all of this as well. Settling on water garden features is an enjoyable task and will give your plan a more solid footing.

2013 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 with 650HP and 200MPHNovember 15th, 2011
Ford has seriously upped the ante in the performance and horsepower wars with new 2013 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 producing 650HP and top speed of 200MPH. Ford all new motor is a 5.8-liter, aluminum-block V8 with a larger and more efficient supercharger. The entire powertrain has been upgraded for 2013 model year, including a new cross-drilled block and heads, updated camshaft profiles, a carbon fiber driveshaft and upgraded clutch, transmission and axle.
With a curb weight of just 3,850 pounds, over 200 pounds lighter than the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, this new Mustang is setup to destroy Chevy's pony car offering as well as many other performance cars. With the huge Ford aftermarket tuning arena, we expect 700-750+ HP Mustangs to be hitting the streets within weeks after the cars release.

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner! Get your green ready and avoid those pinches! 🙂
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
Irish Blessing
Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
George Bernard Shaw
May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
Irish Blessing
I really love dressing up for holidays, and St. Patrick's Day is certainly no exception. I enjoy coming up with fun outfits full of green. Maybe it's because, growing up in private schools with uniforms, it was one of the only times I actually got to pick out my outfit. I used to even have a specific shirt I only wore on March 17th and I wore it every March 17th (so I guess I created my own annual uniform – old habits die hard). Unfortunately, said shirt is no longer with us, so I get to put a little more thought into it.
This outfit is extra Irish-y because my sweater is actually an Irish Aran sweater that I got in Ireland when I studied abroad! My friends in Ireland told me I looked like a grandpa wearing it, but I don't care. I like it and it was a fun and useful souvenir to take home with me. 🙂
So get silly this March 17th, and wear some green and have some fun!
This Look: Sweater//Aran Crafts – Pants//BDG. – Shoes//F21
May the leprechauns be near you,
To spread luck along your way.
And may all the Irish angels,
Smile upon you St. Patrick's Day.

If you're looking for that perfect compact crossover that has a fantastic ride, big engine, and small carbon footprint, the all- Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is that vehicle. Head over to Claremont Toyota in Claremont, CA right now so our friendly sales team can so you everything this green machine (don't worry, it comes in lots of colors!) has to offer. Once you see that the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is just what you've been looking for in a fuel-saving sport-ute, you'll have one parked in your Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, or Pomona, CA garage before you know it!
So how does the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid set itself apart from other green machines? It boasts an upscale powertrain, the same one propelling Toyota's Lexus luxury line forward in its NX 300h model. Features is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine which generates 154-horsepower, working in tandem with a Hybrid Synergy Drive system, AC synchronous electric motor, and smooth eCVT transmission. Together, this nets 194 horses, which is more robust than the gas-powered RAV4. A standard AWD system is also one of the highlights in the RAV4 Hybrid, in which an electric motor, not a mechanical system, adds torque to the rear wheels. And, of course, fuel efficiency numbers take center stage in a hybrid, but since the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid is a brand new model, those figures have yet to be released.
Loaded with plenty of standard features, the Hybrid XLE, and Limited are the two trims the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers, with both mirroring their gas-powered, similarly named brethren. Three new color choices, more fluid design cues, and a new shark fin antenna set the RAV4 Hybrid apart, and the cabin has been refined with upgraded materials, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, TFT gauge cluster, a convenient sunglasses holder, soft-touch materials that add style to the door panels and dash, cup holders that make room for tall mugs with handles, and more 12 volt outlets and USB ports.
You'll be helping the environment and your own bank account when you purchase or lease a gorgeous 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid from Claremont Toyota. We'll provide you with an excellent car buying experience, a fantastic value, and a great way to tool around the Inland Empire without many pit stops in a 2016 RAV4 Hybrid!View Inventory

Pre-premiere of "Pink Floyd - The Wall", in a Los Angeles newspaper...
Item # 667799
August 12, 1982
LOS ANGELES TIMES, August 12, 1982
* Earliest "Pink Floyd - The Wall" advertisement ?
* Pre-grand opening day movie premiere (eve)
* Live-action/animated musical drama film
A terrific issue on the pre-premiere of the motion picture hit "Pink Floyd - The Wall" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication. This movie would premiere the following day.
Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for movie showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection?
Page 3 of section VI has a nice 13 x 10 inch pre-opening day advertisement for the film. (see)
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections 1 and VI totaling 32 pages. Nice condition.

Tim Duncan (rest), Tony Parker (ribs) out for Spurs vs. 76ers
San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker and forward Tim Duncan will sit out against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, the Spurs announced.
Parker will be out due to bruised ribs sustained in practice, while Duncan is being held out for rest reasons. San Antonio will also continue to be without center Tiago Splitter, who is dealing with a calf injury, and point guard Patty Mills, who had right shoulder surgery.
This is the second time this season the 38-year-old Duncan will be rested for a game, after also sitting out a Nov. 6 game against the Houston Rockets.
• DOLLINGER: NBA Power Rankings: Cavs climbing
Parker, who will miss his first game of the season, is averaging 17.3 points and 5.7 assists through 16 games. Duncan is averaging 14.0 points and 9.9 rebounds in 15 games.
The 76ers, who are 0-16, are still looking for their first win of the season. They host the Spurs (12-4) at 7 p.m.

Club Cricket in the Leicestershire
& Rutland Cricket League
1st Team
Having regained their place in the premier league, the 1st team started the first half of the 2013 season in great shape forming a strong platform to push on from. Alas, at the half way mark B&B had amassed 5 wins 4 losses and 2 draws leaving us comfortably in the top half of the table. The high points include a winning draw at Market Harborough (S Galloway 57* T Moores 54 B Modah 51) and three great wins against Sielby (R Avtar 52), Syston (R Patel 133*) and a thriller at Loughborough(P Chandritha 41*(33)).
The second half of the season produced 2 wins 6 losses and 3 draws, finishing their comeback season midtable in joint 6th place with Loughborough Town (who we beat twice!). The main features formed by T Moores coming close to his maiden premier century collating 97 with M Bobat 76 in an attempted chase of the mammoth 330 posted by Broomleys. A Love?s 79 against Sielby helping B&B to a winning draw away from home. Also, V Lodhia hitting 80* against Stoughton and Thurnby again nudging Barrow and Burton to a winning draw.
All in all a good season for the first XI, with many new young faces making their debut having come through the ranks as juniors.
Bowler of the year: Stansha Galloway
Batsman of the year: Rishi Patel
Well that's another season done, never mind the result, ( we lost not by much but we lost), the positives we should take are many. After having to start the season with a new bunch of players after the four best players from last year either moved up a team or went to uni, we had a slow start winning one of the first four games.
But from around the halfway point of the season when we started to get a more settled team and I started to learn who could do what and when, we had a good run of wins. We were never in the top two all season, but we kept on hanging in there, defeats at the lovely Sharnford and Woodhouse were what cost us promotion, but an overall finish of third is a good season.
What we need to learn as a team that others do better is to hang on for a draw rather than giving our last wickets away, other than that we have more bowlers that any other team, ( nine some weeks) and we field better than most. With only one player earmarked to move up next year, I'm looking forward to seeing all the team back again next April fitter and stronger. See most of you at winter nets, if you want to get picked for the first game.

Insurers who made direct offers to claimants without paying costs to their solicitors have been accused of deliberately undermining the system. North west firm Gavin Edmondson Solicitors told the Supreme Court that Haven Insurance had 'taken advantage' of its work to prepare cases for six individuals who then settled their claim.
The insurer yesterday told the court it had not 'cheated' solicitors out of money they were entitled to and that clients had been pleased with the speedy resolution of their claims.
The law firm said the pre-action protocol for low-value RTA claims had been established to serve the public interest and the rules created after lengthy discussions between insurance and lawyer representatives.
The court heard testimony from one the draftsmen who created those rules, who described Haven's conduct as 'astonishing'.
Representing Edmondson, Jonathan Crow QC of 4 Stone Buildings, said it was the stated aim of the protocol that the insurer pays fixed costs at pre-determined stages. 'Quite deliberately the insurer has avoided the quid pro quo of using the protocol,' he told the court. 'Haven has acknowledged the claim, got to know the name, contact details and nature of the injury and been given a good estimate of the offer – all by the information provided by the efforts of Gavin Edmondson Solicitors which have been lodged into the protocol.
'The insurers have essentially delivered the benefits of the protocol regime but saved themselves paying the costs.'
Crow said the 'integrity' of the claims regime was at stake and the court had to ensure that solicitors could continue to offer their services to people who would otherwise struggle without legal advice. Haven had initially apologised to Edmondson saying its conduct had been a 'lapse' of normal standards, Crow said. But he added: 'There was deliberate deception. It emerged at trial that, far from being a lapse, this was actually a policy of the insurer and they were encouraging their staff to make these approaches. They had an active policy of subverting the protocol.'
The court also heard that other insurers were likely to have repeated Haven's direct settlements and the case could potentially see other claimant firms seek costs they had missed out on.
Crow told the court Edmondson was entitled to equitable intervention – where judges grant a remedy to provide a party with extra relief – and that equity was not 'motionless' in face of a changing legal landscape. 'Equity jurisdiction is flexible and adaptable,' he added. '[Haven] asks you to find equity is frozen in time and cannot and should not adapt to the new world of litigation funding.
'There is absolutely no reason why equity should be frozen in 1779 or any of the other landmark cases [Haven brings up]. It is your responsibility to ensure the oxygen of equity continues to feed the blood so the body remains healthy.'
Gavin Edmondson claims against Haven for around £12,500 in fixed costs which it might have recovered had the claims been settled in accordance with the protocol. Its claim was dismissed at first instance, but the Court of Appeal allowed the firm's appeal based on equitable interference. The hearing continues.

The Dota 2 Meta is always changing, more so for professionals when a new patch comes in. But, the last patch is a big one, in that it's probably going to be the last patch before The International 2017. Here we recap the Patch 7.06 Dota Meta changes.
After having spent time watching the professional scene closely ever since the patch hit, here are some of the ways, we believe, patch 7.06 has changed the professional metagame so far.
Now that denies grant the denying team 30 percent of the XP bounty, a strong laning (the first 15 minutes of the game) phase is much more important than ever before. While all lanes stand to gain something from the buff, the mid lane benefits from the changes the most. Add the extra melee creep to the middle lane for the first 15 minutes, and you've got yourself a lot of XP and gold going the mid lane's way.
We've already seen Invoker return to the Dota 2 meta because of this change. Miracle's performance on the hero during the StarLadder Invitational S2 was particularly noteworthy. Shadow Fiend remained a popular pick.
More notable than the mid players themselves, however, are the frequency of rotations. Heroes that excel in harassing enemy heroes out of the lane to free up space to increase snowball potential have become much more popular in this patch. This trend is highly unlikely to change moving forward.
Mechanically skilled players, such as Sumail "Suma1L" Hassan and Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi are sure to excel even more in the current Dota 2 meta.
Jungling Is Back
7.00 introduced more neutral camps but also increased the neutral spawn time to two minutes instead of one. 7.06 reversed that change, at the expense of a 20 percent early game reduction in XP and Gold. That's a small price to pay given the number of neutral camps to farm these days.
We've already seen Sven and Shadow Fiend excel because of this recent change.
Going forward, you can expect teams to experiment and bring back heroes that are known for their farming and jungling efficiency. Who knows? We might even see the return of Chen and Enchantress to the Dota 2 meta.
Much Shorter Games
Patch 7.06 Dota Meta sees far shorter games in the currently than before.
There are plenty of reasons for this. The number of shrines in the base has been reduced, for one. The increased potential for snowballing is also another reason. Roshan dropping Cheese after his second death is also another factor. But, perhaps the biggest factor, is the increased in the buyback cooldown, going from seven to eight minutes.
The changes have made pushing to the high ground just so much easier.
All Out Chaos After The 40-Minute Mark
In case a team doesn't finish early and lets the game go past the 40-minute mark, all hell breaks lose.
With two power-up runes spawning after 40 minutes and the respawn talents now replaced with seemingly gimmicky talents, we've already seen games come to a very abrupt end and clashes become even messier as the game goes on. We'll likely see more in the coming weeks and months.
TLDR; the current Dota 2 meta encourages finishing games early while giving teams a better chance of coming back and winning late in the game.
Patch 7.06 Dota Meta: Pre-International 2017
Will the 7.06 patch usher in a more diverse Dota 2 meta? We can't really say for sure. But, many analysts agree that this patch alone could have much wider implications than the transition from the 6.XX era to the 7.XX.
With the International 2017 coming soon, look for teams to experiment and try out different strategies as they try their best to secure an invite to the most prestigious Dota 2 tournament of them all.

The following interview was conducted on behalf of the United Water Buffalo Council, an organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and culture of this magnificent creature.
First off, thanks for taking the time to sit down with us.
My pleasure. I've always fancied myself to be a good subject for an interview; I suppose we shall soon find out if this is the case.
Indeed. Let's get the basics out of the way first- where are you from?
I've lived in India my entire life, and currently make my home in Arunachal Pradesh, which is in the northeastern part of the country.
Oh yes, very much. I find the local villagers to be incredibly respectful of the fragile ecology of my home- they don't practice very many aggressive agricultural techniques, and so I've found that there hasn't been much of a need to gore any of them.
I take it that this has been necessary in the past?
Well… I suppose that's depends what the criteria are for a "necessary goring"…
That's another conversation altogether.
Ha- I suppose it is. To answer your question, I've never been an advocate for goring as a means of conflict resolution, but growing up in the wild, it can be hard to avoid. Water buffalo have a reputation for attacking without having been provoked and all matter of terrible things, and that reputation does, sadly, have a basis in reality. Especially as an adolescent buffalo growing one's horns out for the first time, the temptation to use them can be overwhelming. That having been said, charging and goring is a bull's primary means of defending his family, and I wouldn't want anybody to have to first use these techniques while squaring off against a Bengal tiger.
I see. Is there a lot of tension between the buffalo and the tiger?
Not as much as you might think. At the base of it all, tigers are carnivorous. To them, I am little more than an 1100-kilo buffet cart. On the other hand, we buffalo are proud, and are thus no easy prey. No tiger will ever catch a water buffalo alone or off his guard, and thus the tiger have learned to leave us alone, for the most part. It's an uneasy truce, but it has, for the most part, been upheld by both sides.
I take it there aren't too many buffalo hunting tiger, then.
Ha- no, I suppose not. Like all ungulates, we're herbivores, and we like it that way. Who wants to spend so much energy chasing down fatty prey when grass is so bountiful and nutritious? Not me.
Many water buffalo have abandoned the tradition of wild living, opting for domestication. Have you ever considered allowing yourself to be domesticated?
And why not?
Call me old-fashioned, but I firmly believe that living in the wild builds character. Domesticated buffalo aren't able to do anything on their own. I recall running into a fellow who had escaped from a farm a couple years back. He was starving, and didn't know to eat the grass he was standing on! Can you imagine? He then proceeded to ask us if we needed him to draw any of our plough carts, and the lot of us laughed so hard that he ran away and we never saw him again. I suspect he was eventually eaten by leopards.
Do you have any domesticated friends?
No, and I don't think that I ever will. I don't want to come off as prejudiced against domesticates, but they lack a certain… je ne sais quois… a certain "edge" if you will. Living in captivity, being bathed regularly, being fed, it makes them dull. That's not a pun about their horns; by the way, I just mean that you can't have a conversation with them about anything. They know nothing outside of the village in which they work, which is understandable and I don't fault them for it. However, they don't seem to care that that's the case. No domesticate I've ever met has even shown a desire to go to Bhutan, or Nepal, or Bangladesh to learn what other buffalo are like or to enrich themselves. It isn't that their narrow-mindedness isn't beaten into them so much as the natural inquisitiveness which makes all buffalo so interesting is somehow beaten out, and I can't abide by that.
I see. Well, that's all the time we've got for today. Thanks once more for taking the time to sit down with me, and thank you for not goring me on sight.
Don't thank me yet! You've still got to make it out of the studio.
I… uh…
Just kidding.
I don't gore on weekdays!
Another joke… perhaps in poor taste. I apologize.
Gee, thanks Alex for letting us pilfer another of your old blog posts. Alex Berg is now artistic director of UCB Theatre in LA.

IBM Already Unimpressed With Unannounced HP Strategy
IBM won't be making scoffing noises from the back of the room at Hewlett-Packard's big strategy meeting in San Francisco today, but that isn't stopping the company's execs from blowing a few raspberries in the media.
In an interview with The Financial Times, Mike Daniels, SVP of IBM's Global Technology Services and a potential successor to CEO Sam Palmisano, took a few shots at HP–particularly its approach to integrated software and services. To Daniels, HP's approach is both unwieldy and dated and pretty much guarantees IBM will retain its lead in software and services, no matter what sort of strategy HP CEO Léo Apotheker lays out today. "It's not like we have a company that has a software strategy and then a services strategy or a hardware strategy," Daniels said. "I think it would take a long time for anybody to accumulate the kind of capability that we have."
And will have in the future. IBM plans to spend about $20 billion on acquisitions through 2015, a significant portion of it, presumably, to further cement its lead in software and services.

Speak Out - Our global whistleblowing system
Launched in 2015 and implemented during 2016, Speak Out is our global whistleblowing system, hosted by an independent specialist hotline and case management provider.
All employees who wish to raise a matter of ethical concern are encouraged to contact the free telephone hotline or make a report online. Both channels are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are completely confidential.
We have now completed the global implementation of our new whistleblowing hotline and case management system and have received a total of 402 reports from our employees during 2016.
Whilst we believe that we must continue to raise awareness of Speak Out and further encourage our employees to report any concerns or wrong doing, we are pleased that the number of reports has increased since we introduced the new hotline.
All matters reported to Speak Out are reviewed and directed to the most appropriate channel for action. Many of these matters are grievances which are transferred to the relevant HR department to follow up, as they are best placed to investigate and resolve the matter promptly. Concerns regarding operational procedures are investigated by local management to ensure that relevant standards are being followed.
Investigations relating to other matters, such as bribery, ethical or financial issues may be conducted by our internal network of investigators or independent experts.
Matters of a serious nature are investigated at a senior and independent level, with 55 investigations completed during 2016.
The ethics steering group has continued to oversee case management of whistleblowing reports and conduct regular reviews of serious cases, the investigation's progress and resulting actions.

One of the main attractions of the NSW Northern Rivers and Coastal Region is, of course, the world renowned Byron Bay. Byron has changed significantly over the years, progressing from a once sleepy, hippy surf town into one of the trendiest, most popular destinations in NSW. In fact, celeb spotting in the town is now a must do! While you are there, be sure to find yourself a seat with a view in one the many flourishing cafes or restaurants, kick up your feet and keep your eyes peeled. You never know which famous face you might spot casually going about their day!
To truly experience all the beauty that Byron has to offer you can't beat taking to the skies in a hot air balloon, jumping on your bike for a ride along the beaches at Ballina or trying a spot of beachside yoga as the sunrise pops her smiling face out against the backdrop of the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse. After immersing myself in all of these activities, I can truly see why so many people are making the pilgrimage to Byron and the Northern Rivers region. The crystal clear beaches and the green rolling hills of the surrounding areas are not only the perfect spot for an amazing getaway but from every vantage point, Byron allows you to soak up some of the most picturesque landscapes in NSW. Then there's the incredible local produce. Spend an afternoon taking in all that the Northern Rivers has to offer by dining at Three Blue Ducks at The Farm Byron Bay for a 'paddock to plate' style lunch. While enjoying the local hospitality and freshness of the cuisine, choose a regional NSW wine from the menu to embellish the moment.
As I quickly learned, there is so much more to the Northern Rivers than just the bay and after leaving Byron my mission was to explore as much of the area as possible. Straight away I was blown away by the beautiful drive and ever changing scenery – from the macadamia tree plantations to the stunning mountain backdrops to the sky blue ocean coastline. And whether you are after something to get the blood pumping or something a little more relaxed, I discovered that the Northern Rivers has something for everyone.
For the adrenalin junkies you can't go past a helicopter ride around Wollumbin- Mount Warning. Just between you and me, a little bit of locally grown and harvested 'Dutch courage' certainly doesn't go astray before your flight! For anyone who has never been in a chopper before, nor seen the beautiful Northern Rivers from those dizzying heights, you cannot imagine a greater way to take in the mountain and its surrounds.
Other local activities that got my blood pumping included taking a surf lesson in Kingscliff and a sunrise kayak on the Tweed River. I definitely recommend a bacon and egg roll post kayak! Or if a land adventure is more your style then definitely stop by Killen Falls. The 10 minute walk to the bottom is well worth the sometimes narrow trail and there is something truly magical about being completely surrounded by cascading water once you reach the bottom.
For something less adrenalin charged, spend some time browsing the aisles and meeting the locals, both two and four legged, at the local artisan stores in Newrybar. Whether you are after a coffee or vintage cushion you will certainly find that perfect purchase in this eclectic collection of arts and crafts. And how about a trip to the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre? As the name suggests there is an exceptional collection of works to view plus the world famous recreation of Margaret Olley's house which really needs to be seen to be believed. Grab a cuppa at the café, take up your spot out on the deck and soak up the sun on your face.
Speaking of cuppas, I highly recommend heading to Lismore institution "Flock Espresso & Eats," ordering a takeaway (and don't by shy to grab something sweet while you are there!) and wandering through the neighbouring lanes filled with local outdoor artwork and murals. Just be sure to leave some room in your schedule, and your tummy, for the most incredible pecan pie you will ever try fresh out of the oven at Eltham Valley Pantry.
If you are around on a Wednesday be sure to make time to visit Nimbin Farmers' Markets. Colourful, vibrant, crazy, energetic, buzzing Nimbin. Just be a little cautious about eating anything they offer you fresh out of the oven there!
You really must experience the Northern Rivers for yourself. There's a range of accommodation options in the region and booking was easy using the HotelsCombined app.

With so many competing programs available and OTAs promising low prices, hotel brands have revamped their loyalty programs to stand out from the crowd.
REPORT FROM THE U.S.—Virtually all of the major brand companies in the hotel space want to lure consumers to their loyalty programs, which help drive the ever desirable repeat customer, but each have adopted unique tactics to make that a reality.
The different approaches to changing the programs are based on the individual goals of the brands and their loyalty programs, but the ultimate goal remains the same: increased revenue.
While all brands with loyalty programs constantly tweak their offerings, three companies have made recent changes that address the concepts of greater simplicity, rate discounts and instant rewards.
Loyalty discounts
As part of its recent "Stop Clicking Around" marketing campaign, Hilton Worldwide Holdings is offering discounted rates, benefits and more personalized service to members of its HHonors loyalty program, so long as those members book directly through any of Hilton's channels.
Guests passed up the chance to earn a total of 57 billion HHonors points by not booking direct, said Mark Weinstein, SVP and global head of loyalty and partnerships at Hilton. The new marketing campaign tells the public that if they join the club and book directly, they get more benefits, such as the discounted rates and complementary Wi-Fi, he said.
"There is a huge misconception that third parties offer a lower rate, which is simply not true," he said.
The rate discount applies to all HHonors members who book directly through the company's brand websites, the HHonors mobile app, reservation call centers or preferred corporate travel partners and approved travel professionals, he said. The rate is reduced 3% for stays Sundays through Thursdays, he said, and 10% for Friday and Saturday nights if booked more than 15 days in advance. Reservations made within 14 days of the stay receive 2% off any day of the week.
Weinstein said he was unable to share details about Hilton's agreements with third parties, such as online travel agencies, regarding the discount available to HHonors members and how it relates to parity agreements.
"As part of an ongoing review of our strategic partnerships and to deliver the benefits and services our Hilton HHonors members want, Hilton continuously evaluates our relationships with OTAs to ensure they are in the best interests of our guests and the entire Hilton organization," he said.
Since launching the marketing campaign in February, Hilton has seen the highest HHonors enrollments, highest level of web activity and most downloads of its app in years, Weinstein said. Enrollment in the loyalty program increased 104% compared to this time last year, he said. Seventeen percent of HHonors members received discounted rates are new to the program, having signed up after seeing the campaign.
"And year to date, marketing drove $708 million in revenue, resulting in a 29% higher marketing ROI than last year," he said.
Marriott International created a similar discount for members of its loyalty program, according to a news release. If a member books directly and then finds a better rate within 24 hours of making the reservation, Marriott will match the rate and add on a 25% discount. Marriott did not respond to a request for comment.
Instant, ancillary rewards
Choice Hotels International spent the past year and a half reviewing loyalty in general, said Robert McDowell, SVP of global marketing and distribution at Choice. Many programs in the hotel and airline industries have devalued their currencies and made upgrades harder to come by, he said.
To counter that, Choice Privileges offers Your Extras, an instant reward that benefits guests as soon as they check in. Guests can receive a $2.50 credit on Amazon, a $5 coffee gift card or gas reward points, he said, and they can cash those in at their leisure. The company has also lowered the number of points needed for a free stay at more than 1,500 Choice hotels so guests can redeem free nights faster.
The Your Extras offerings are aimed at transient business travelers, and the company has experienced an uptick in that demographic. The instant reward aspect has also proven popular with millennials.
"We're extremely excited about it, and guests have given an extremely favorable response," he said.
Since making the changes, Choice Privileges has had record enrollment days for almost every day, he said. Enrollment is up almost 50% year over year since updating the program.
"The new features in the space we know is really striking a chord with the customers and the (new) customers we're signing up," he said.
Differentiate through simplicity
Noah Brodsky, SVP of worldwide loyalty and engagement at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said hoteliers must keep in mind that loyalty has to provide value to customers to reach them, which was the goal of that company's newly simplified Wyndham Rewards program.
"We saw an opportunity to go out and say, 'This is the program for you. It's so simple, it gives you back exactly what you have earned,'" he said.
Simplifying Wyndham Rewards a year ago has given Wyndham some of its best months ever, Brodsky said.
After doing some customer research by surveying guests and guests of competitors, Wyndham officials learned guests didn't understand the programs, the rewards or how to redeem them.
"Airlines were probably the worst of all," he said. "On the redemption side, they had no idea what they were saving up toward. It used to be back in the glory days, if they had 25,000 miles, they could have a free flight anywhere, so they would save up their miles."
With all of the loyalty programs out there, consumers have loyalty saturation, Brodsky said. Through the research, the company learned the average consumer is member of 14 loyalty program.
To stand out from the that pack, Brodsky said Wyndham a more simple, straightforward program then rest. To that end, company officials changed Wyndham Rewards so guests could earn a free night anywhere in the system without any blackout days for 15,000 points.
"We saw more companies announce they're going to daily dynamic pricing on rewards," he said. "It's getting impossible for consumers to follow. Our changes really resonated with our target demographics."
Since implementing the changes, Wyndham rewards has experienced double-digit growth in membership, Brodsky said. Data from Wyndham shows that in 2015, slightly less than 75% of all redemptions were for hotel stays compared to 55% of redemptions in 2013.*
"It's a gigantic consumer shift because we returned value back to the consumers," he said.
Franchise engagement has similarly increased, he said, with as Wyndham is seeing "literally thousands" of hotels that haven't engaged with the company this strongly before.
"It's a win for the properties," he said. "They're seeing the revenue potential here."
*Correction, 18 April 2016: An earlier version of this story included out-of-date information regarding Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' redemption statistics.

Trademark Assignment in India
image source : https://www.freedomworks.org/
Intellectual property is like any other property, can be transferred from one owner to another. Likewise, Trademarks are also transferrable. Trademarks are essentially very intricate business properties which can be transferred with or without goodwill.
Now to understand how trademarks are transferred from one owner to another, it is important to understand what legal instruments affect the trademark transfer.
The transfer is known as Trademark assignment which means "all the usage rights or incidental rights, partial or complete are transferred from owner or proprietor to another person"
Now there may two types of transfer 1) may be partial assignment that is generally known as licensing wherein the trademark to be transferred is transferred to other interested party for a fix amount to time and on basis of pre defined terms and conditions.
The second type of transfer is by way of Assignment wherein the transferor (The trademark owner) by virtue of assignment deed transfers all the bundle of rights associated with the trademark in question to the transferee (The person who buys the trademark)
Goodwill Transfer V/s Without Good will Transfer
image source : https://www.twimg.com/
Now this assignment may be done in two ways 1) with good will or 2) without goodwill Now question arises what exactly is good will and what is the key difference between a trademark assignment affected with or without goodwill.
Suppose, Maggie decides to assign its trademark with goodwill that means that the transferee will have complete right over the transferred trademark, be to use, assign, change, license etc. its just like the original owner or the transferor is replaced by transferee.
Where as in case the trademark Maggie which is essentially associated with instant noodles, transfers its trademark in respect of a single good for example soups etc. This particular transfer which is restricted to specified usage and particular good is known as trademark assignment without goodwill since still huge bundle of original rights are intact with the transferee.
Now in order to license or assignment a person must take into consideration the good will of the brand name, usage in associated goods or services also the impact that may occur because of such transfer.
To affect the trademark assignments there exists various legal requirements to be fulfilled that vary by jurisdiction to jurisdiction, in most jurisdictions a valid trademark assignment must have a written documentation namely assignment deed must clearly identify the parties associated with the trademark transfer and shall mention the effective date of the such transfer along with all terms and condition including the applicable jurisdiction, it is also advisable to clearly mention the particulars of the trademark assigned such as brand name, class, its current status or date of registration etc.
Apart from above, in case we talk about trademark assignment specific to Indian jurisdiction, the timeline in such assignment is very important.

As it is important to legally record the trademark assignment, in India the fee for such recordal changes with the time passed from the effective date of trademark assignment execution. For example fee for trademark assignment done within six month from date of execution will be merely 4000 but may increase if done after 6 months or a year.

While everyone is watching the special election in Georgia, do you even realize there's another special election today—in South Carolina? While Georgia has been siphoning off all the money and attention, the state next door is being ignored. Why is that?
Because it's not a "race," according to the New Jersey Herald.
South Carolina's 5th Congressional District has all the usual campaign season trappings: signs dot many front yards and the airwaves are jammed with political ads. Yet the special election to fill the House seat vacated when Mick Mulvaney became White House budget director has largely unfolded without the intense partisan fever of contests elsewhere, like Georgia's hotly disputed congressional race.
Voters on Tuesday choose between Ralph Norman, a Republican backing the Trump administration, and Archie Parnell, a Democrat who says he is best aligned to represent the district's voters, in a district that was a Democratic stronghold more than a century until the Republican Mulvaney rode into office on a tea party wave in 2010. . .
Norman has the backing of big-name conservatives such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who both have campaigned with him. A Washington-based conservative group, the Club for Growth, also infused Norman's GOP runoff campaign with TV ads, and he's run plenty of his own.
National Democratic Chairman Tom Perez has stumped with Parnell, as have a handful of congressional Democrats. But the race has drawn none of the national attention of Georgia's contest. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has only dropped $275,000 into the race, compared to a $5 million investment in the special election in Georgia's 6th District, which has been in GOP hands since Newt Gingrich's 1978 victory.
But the Charleston Post Currier says the election is not meaningless, just because it's being ignored.
. . . the stakes remain high in South Carolina. If elected, Norman would join the Republican majority in the U.S. House that has sought to advance Trump's promised agenda, while Parnell has vowed to oppose major parts of the president's budget and health care priorities. . .
The congressional fight over the American health care system has bled over into special elections, including South Carolina's 5th District race, as the candidates have been pressed to clarify their positions on the Republican's American Health Care Act.
The questions have left Norman explaining whether he supports the current version of the Republican bill, which is estimated to increase the number of uninsured individuals in the country by 23 million people by 2026, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. . .
The special election has also seen a focus put on Trump's first proposed budget that was drafted and rolled out by Mulvaney. . . Norman says he's in support of Trump's proposed budget plan, which increases military spending by nearly $500 million over the next 10 years but slashes $1.4 trillion over that same time period for Medicaid, food stamps, environmental initiatives and other non-defense spending. . .
But Parnell thinks Mulvaney's work, which only balances the budget over the next decade by factoring in exorbitant growth estimates, is cruel and reduces people to numbers.
A Democratic poll (consider the source) suggests that the South Carolina special election may not be a "slam-dunk" after all. Dems are celebrating being "only" ten points behind.
A poll from Anzalone Liszt Grove Research, completed on May 25 and obtained by The Post, has Democrat Archie Parnell down by 10 points to Ralph Norman, a state legislator making his second run at the rural and suburban seat. That's a six-point bump for Parnell since March, when he began running TV ads, and it's closer than the margin in Mulvaney's last few races or the last presidential elections in South Carolina's 5th District.
Here, too, health care is an issue.
Just 42 percent of the district's voters back the American Health Care Act, which the pollster described as the bill "to repeal and replace" the current health-care law. Fifty percent of voters opposed it.
Part of Parnell's campaign has to do with wanting some balance in Washington, which is tightly controlled in all three branches by the Republican Party. Remember when Republicans were running last year, saying we will need a counterbalance to "President Hillary"??
Parnell has run as a pragmatist who wants to check the House Republican agenda. . . Parnell has been able to campaign without a Republican tracker filming his moves. . .Parnell has not been the target of a single negative spot. . .
Parnell's sunshine-y ad campaign has leaned into his dry, deadpan persona.
About the only thing of interest in the South Carolina campaign is this humorous ad in which Parnell suggests that Trump's Washington is like Kevin Spacey's political Netflix show, "House of Cards."
By the way, if you think Parnell will beat the odds and win, if you go to PredictIt, you can bet $3 and if he wins, you'll get $100 back. In other words, good luck with that.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in the wear and tear of joints, and most commonly the knee and hip joints. Given this nature of the disease, it is quite clear that once Osteoarthritis is diagnosed, the primary objective should be to minimize the damage caused by the disease.
In Osteoarthritis of the knee, gradually over a period, the cartilage that acts as a cushion between the femur and tibia bones gets eroded. [1] X-ray of patients suffering from severe Osteoarthritis clearly indicates that damage to the articular cartilage caused a reduction in the space between the bones. This erosion of the cartilage ultimately causes rubbing of the femur and tibia bones and leads to a very painful sensation.
Can losing weight help to avoid Osteoarthritis?
Researchers have analyzed the role of weight in the progression of such wear and tear. Excess weight is always a cause for concern because it results in greater stress on the joints, and hence a higher rate of wear and tear. An obese person who is also suffering from arthritis is more likely than a normal weight person, to undergo a faster erosion of the cartilage. A research carried out in Australia analyzed 120 obese subjects with BMI of 30 KG/m2 to assess the impact of obesity on their musculoskeletal health. The sample was studied for over 2 years for changes in their weight, both increase and decrease, and how it affected their joint health.[2, 3] Scientists observed that weight change had a direct opposite correlation with the volume change of the tibial cartilage. Tibial cartilage is what covers the tibial bone and provides a cushion effects during the knee movement. A mere 1 percent weight loss resulted in a 1.2 mm3 less decrease in tibial cartilage volume. Further, people who lost weight also reported a higher satisfaction with their knee joint with respect to pain sensation, stiffness and overall function as captured with Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) index.
Another study presented recently in Chicago concluded that Osteoarthritis patients who lost at least 10% of their body weight had a much slower rate of degeneration of their joints as shown by the MRI scans. This study comprised of 506 patients with either overweight or obesity characteristics. Over a period of 4 years, MRI scans indicated the progression of damage to the cartilage. The study found that in patients that had at least 10% or higher weight loss, the cartilage damage was a lot slower than rest of the patients. [4] Researchers hypothesis is based on the fact that excess weight would naturally cause more stress on the joints. Further, excess fat cells present in the body triggers a higher level of inflammation, which is known to impact the joint health.
In essence, what all of these studies are indicating is that if you have early signs of arthritis, you can help yourself in many ways by creating a plan for weight loss.
- Weight loss can help delay the damage in your joints; that can then delay the need for more advanced treatments such as the joint replacement.
- You can maintain a better quality of life as the lower weight results in less stress on your joints, hence less pain and better motion.
How to lose weight when mobility is already affected?
However, the most pressing question that troubles Arthritis patients is about how to lose weight when they already cannot move without pain. That is where guidance from an experienced physiotherapist can help. What is required in Osteoarthritis is that one does not engage in activities which further impact the joint health. Any high-impact activity is to be avoided such as jogging, climbing stairs or any exercise that subjects the joints to high stress.
Instead, low-impact exercises have to be carried out such as slow walking with the help of a cane to support the damaged knee, when feasible or available, water-based or aqua therapy exercises, upper body exercises, light weight bearing exercise with upper body joints, Yoga exercises to name a few.
The other important way to lose weight is to plan carefully a diet that contains healthy foods and minimizes foods that are high in fat content, contain trans-fat, or high sugar content. The very first time you begin to have a persistent pain sensation on your Knees and come to know that you may be suffering from Arthritis, it is time to discuss and define a plan of action for weight loss if you fall into the category of overweight or obesity.

"Over the last 10 years I have taught the "Beer Game" supply chain simulation to numerous groups of graduate students and executives. For some of those games I used the "manual" game, when the students have to physically "move" the product and do the bookkeeping, for others I tried several software products available in the market. While the manual game provides ultimate engagement, it is also more stressful for students, and harder to execute by the faculty - a software therefore is a desired solution. My experience with some of the products available, however, has been sometimes negative, and I was therefore looking for a "clean" and simple implementation that just works.
I was therefore very grateful when SoPHIELabs team agreed to work with me and several other academics to create a new Beer Game product on their platform. Since then I used it twice: once with a group of executives, and another times in a graduate course on supply chain analytics. Both times the game ran smoothly and allowed me to focus on the learnings from the game, rather than on the logistics of the game. For the particular features that I like most, I would emphasize that (i) the Beer Game by SoPHIELabs runs on any device (PC, Mac, tablet, smartphone) and (ii) it has a very clean, simple and visually appealing - well designed - user interface and faculty debrief tools. Students very appreciate both these features, and so do I. I look forward to using this game in my future courses and highly recommend it to other faculty who uses Beer Game in their courses."

Family Dentistry
Many children are ambivalent about getting braces. On one hand, they like the idea of perfect teeth, but on the other hand, they are nervous about whether the braces will cause pain and discomfort. The good news is that the placement of orthodontic braces is not at all painful, and the end result will be a beautiful straight smile.
Although patients of any age can benefit from orthodontic braces, they tend to work much quicker on pre-teens and teenagers since they are still experiencing jaw growth. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children should first see an orthodontist around the age of seven years-old. An orthodontic examination may be beneficial before age seven if facial or oral irregularities are noted.
What Causes misalignment of teeth?
Poorly aligned teeth often cause problems speaking, biting and chewing. Most irregularities are genetic or occur as a result of developmental issues. Conversely, some irregularities are acquired or greatly exacerbated by certain habits and behaviors such as:
What's involved when a child gets braces?
The orthodontist initially conducts a visual examination of the child's teeth. This will be accompanied by panoramic X-rays, study models (bite impressions), and computer generated images of the head and neck. These preliminary assessments are sometimes known as the "planning phase" because they aid the orthodontist in making a diagnosis and planning the most effective treatment.
In many cases, the orthodontist will recommend "fixed" orthodontic braces for a child. Fixed braces cannot be lost, forgotten or removed at will, which means that treatment is completed more quickly. Removable appliances may also be utilized, which are less intrusive and are generally used to treat various types of defects.
Here is a brief overview of some of the main types of orthodontic appliances used on children:
