By S. Sethuraman
An elaborate exercise in "friendliness" to the farmer in distress for long, to the small business, devastated by demonetisation, and "healthcare" for poorer sections, crafted by Prime Minister Modi, was faithfully projected by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the Union Budget for 2018/19.
That it is all politically timed for safeguarding the strength of ruling BJP-led NDA in a critical election year in states leading to Lok Sabha polls in 2019 is patent.
Otherwise, how after four years in power already, the Modi Government achieving neither inclusive growth nor jobs in millions promised in 2014, should now wake up to the plight of distressed farmers over years and of the rural and urban poor. The Modi Exercise is thus designed to focus on the needs of rural areas as well as other sectors from agriculture to infrastructure – a modified version of the "Garibi Hatao" slogan of the 1970s.
Modi thumped the desk for every announcement of Jaitley on higher institutional credit to farmers and extension of Minimum Support Prices (MSP) at one and half times the cost of production cost, now available to rabi crops, for all unannounced kharif crops. The MSP rise, marketing funds and other proposals announced in agriculture and animal husbandry, duly applauded, were all designed toward the promised objective of doubling farmers' income by 2022.
Jaitley said his other priorities in the budget were good healthcare to the economically less privileged, infrastructure expansion, and working with states to provide more resources for improving the quality of education. Laudable as all these goals are, there are no readily available institutional mechanisms nor funding at the central or state levels. In food also, the scale of procurement and the methodology for arriving at MSP were left unsaid for exchequer cost calculations.
It is understandable for the Prime Minister to bestir himself at a time the opposition has begun to make a gradual recovery to be able to challenge the ruling BJP in states first and later in the Lok Sabha elections. After Gujarat, Rajasthan is sending out strong signals of the changing voter mood. No doubt, the Prime Minister would become hyper-active henceforth, choosing all platforms, to thunder against Opposition parties with allegations of corruption.
The Modi Government thus far cannot claim to have mastered the art of seizing black money and benami properties and providing a corruption-free regime, leave alone the economic growth and lack of private investments in these four years. Nor is there anything of substance in Jaitley's latest (fifth) budget to trigger "animal spirits" for business investment to revive.
Taking the budget overall, given the appalling deficits – with deferred fiscal consolidation plans – the Finance Minister has sought to distract attention and making his lengthy speech a review of "achievements" in the first four years in terms of "yojanas" of the Prime Minister for "vikas", partly under implementation, and "fundamental structural" reforms undertaken like GST, code on bankruptcy, etc.
Certainly this government has fiercely and forcefully been enforcing Aadhaar in all spheres downplaying citizen's rights including privacy, in a vast country of low literacy and large segments of poverty. A deliberate policy of digitalisation toward a 'cash-less' economy is being pursued with a majoritarian push unmindful of ground realities even as more basic needs and requirements of the people are downplayed..
The Prime Minister said with focus now on "ease of living" – away from "ease of doing business" – the budget envisages an "unparalleled" shift in health sector – providing healthcare to nearly 50 crore Indians at Rs. five lakh a year for quality treatment. The budget makes a token provision of Rs. 2,000 crore. Based on research study, health insurance for 10 crore poor families would cost Rs. one lakh crore and annual premium would be Rs.10,000 crore even at 2 per cent of the sum assured (Rs. 5 lakh).
Health, as a state subject, requires serious Centre-state commitments for such major healthcare programmes expected to cast a heavy burden for both Union and state exchequers. While the budget describes it as the world's largest government-funded healthcare programme (Ayushman Bharat plan), at this stage it is more like floating a balloon. Healthcare costs are very high in the country, though may look cheaper for the wealthy abroad visiting India, and have become unaffordable even for the affluent nationals. Since the government has to rely on private sector substantially, the speciality hospitals and insurance companies would be getting richer.
On the taxation side, Jaitley has now come to believe that medium, small and micro enterprises (MSMEs) would lead economic consolidation in India. He had earlier refused to acknowledge the damage done to this sector by demonetisation both in terms of loss of cash for transactions and lakhs and lakhs of workers being thrown out of jobs. The budget extends reduced corporate tax at 25 per cent for MSM companies with turnover up to Rs. 250 crore, and Jaitley hopes with higher investible surplus these enterprises could create more jobs.
For jobs, the Finance Minister relies more on new schemes in the agriculture, small-scale and health sectors and offered selective subsidy, where employees would be kept for three years at least in any new start. The economy must first get back to sustained growth for jobs.
The government sees "green shoots" on the economic horizon and has assumed that GDP would grow at 11.5 per cent at current prices (7.2 per cent in real terms) in 2018/19 after the slowdown to 6.7 per cent in fiscal 2018. The medium-term outlook is clouded with global developments not entirely benign. The rising trend in oil prices would affect the budget arithmetic as also any fall-out from the budget on consumer prices.
The government's inability to contain fiscal deficit at 3.2 per cent of GDP in 2017/18, attributed to less than expected GST revenues (net) and decline in non-tax revenues, is compounding the outlook for inflation. From the now enhanced 3.5 per cent of GDP, the budget assumes fiscal deficit at 3.3 per cent in 2018/19. This is a temporary blip, according to the Finance Ministry, which sees more buoyant revenues with a reformed GST and strategic disinvestments planned. The revised consolidation plan targets fiscal deficit at 3.0 per cent in 2021. (IPA Service)

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published for public comment an exposure draft of improvements to the accounting for insurance contracts.
The ED proposes a single IFRS that all insurers, in all jurisdictions, could apply consistently to all contract types.
When the IASB was established in 2001, there were no international financial reporting requirements for insurance contracts. In 2004 the IASB introduced IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, as an interim standard that permitted many existing international accounting practices to be retained, while beginning a more comprehensive review of insurance accounting as a second phase of the project. The current ED is the result of that review.
Comments are due Nov. 30. The ED can be accessed by clicking on "Comment on a Proposal" under the "Get Involved" tab at www.ifrs.org.

My review
First of all, this is a beautiful hardcover book that any child would be drawn to and want to read. There are beautiful illustrations and a prayer for every occasion and or problem. This is the kind of book that parents and grandparents would want their children to read. I wish that this book was around when my children were small, but I am able to share it with my grandchildren. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review by Kregel Publications and these are all my opinions and thoughts.

Hey all. We've been home for a week now — whew! The jetlag has worn off and while vacations are what I live for, it's good to be home. Joe is already gone again –he left for Portland on Saturday. What happens in Portland? Software conferences and homework! Joe has one paper to complete for his final MBA course. He'll be home Thursday.
I went to the Lake of the Ozarks yesterday with my dear friend Melissa. Lots of fund in the sun was just what I needed because today, I dusted off my dissertation. I'm not exaggerating — there really was dust on the literature that lives in piles on my office floor — ack! I finished about 5 pages of chapter 5.

The 5 Variables when using a Psychometric Test for recruitment
We invest fortunes hiring new staff. Companies invest much much more income on staff than on anything else. We invest cash with agencies and we devote funds on salaries and we invest income on instruction.
One of the greatest techniques to improve your bottom line is consequently to enhance your recruitment outcomes. If you are far far better at hiring than your competitors, then you have a bottom line benefit. And one certain way to make far greater hiring decisions is to have greater info when considering your options.
This is exactly where you can use a Psychometric test as it offers you a lot more data. So if you know what to do with this info then you will make improved hiring choices. You will finish up with far more productive and useful staff than your competitors.
Tip 1 – Know what you are hunting for
This sounds so obvious nonetheless most interviewers adopt the policy of "i'll know it when I see it." That's wishful thinking and unreliable. Nonetheless, employing Psychometric Testing you can develop a character benchmark and know especially what your outstanding candidate will seem like. You do not need to rely upon "gut feel". There are greater approaches.
Tip two – It is all about character
Interviewers get really hung up on capabilities and education. This is considering that the CV is given such prominence in the recruitment process. Even so this is fraught with difficulties.
If you truly want to be certain that people operate in their job roles, then you will want to get a feel for their personality fit above all other factors. It is only when character and the environment are in harmony, will they excel and survive the test of time.
Appear for born naturals. Forget about what the CV says. Forget about what their qualifications say. Just make certain you employ born naturals and invest in a modest instruction.
Tip three – interviews are a really negative way to decide on folks
It is human nature to want to hire the really greatest performer on the day. But you have to ask oneself. Does the job function resemble a job interview in any way? Is the candidate going to be sitting in front of 3 people answering queries all day?
I know it seems clear nonetheless time and as soon as far more interviewers pass by the greater candidate for the significantly greater interviewer. Do not make this error.
Tip four – Ask queries about their character
If the candidate has taken your psychometric test then you truly must know a lot about them. Even so a character report is only the beginning of the strategy. You want to use it is a platform for an in depth, meaningful conversation.
There is no detail, when armed with a character report, that you can not get to know about this candidate. You really should know their wonderful side and their shadow side.
Tip five – People do not modify
I know as a manager you may find it difficult to accept the truth, that you can not mould folks to your ways. People do not modify. You will not adjust them. You will not get them to give up that habit and take a new habit that suits you.
Accept this reality and you will save yourself a lot of frustration. You know the old saying "You truly must never try to teach a pig to sing. Considering that you will only succeed in annoying the pig."
So employ naturals. A psychometric test will enable you to do this. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration.

I bring you Tana:
I don't understand the need to own a gun or to defend oneself with weapons, but I know that so many Americans feel strongly about this, so I can respect it to a certain extent. Growing up an animal and nature-loving vegetarian, I also don't understand hunting. But I grew up in a rural area where on the first day of hunting season school was empty, and it wasn't uncommon to come home and see a deer hanging from my neighbor's tree—so I can respect that too. But let's be real—all you need for hunting is a rifle. And as for defense, there is nothing "defensive" about owning automatic weapons that can kill 27 people in a matter of minutes. There is no place for that in our society. ABSOLUTELY NONE. No reason why that should be legal. No good that can come of it. And no reason why anyone should own more than one gun. So when people say, "I have the right to defend myself, that's why I own all these guns," or "that's why I own these automatic weapons," they're really saying something else—something about power, about fascination with the ability to destruct, about the potential to be very offensive, and not defensive at all.
As far as mental health goes, I am a high school teacher in an under-resourced district, where most students fall under the poverty line, and where many have experienced violence, the instability of moving several times per year, and homelessness. In a school of almost 600 students where these are the kinds of experiences many of them have, how many social workers do you think we would have? One, two, twenty? Well, we have none. Not a single full time school social worker or counselor. No drug intervention program, no trauma recovery program, no resources for homeless youth. We do have partnerships with community organizations in which counselors come into school 1-2 days per week—but with absenteeism such a huge issue, especially for the students in greatest need, students are often not present the day the counselor comes in. There are no resources to follow up on these students with home visits or the interventions they need.
In addition to all the "regular" problems that many have, there are some, as there are in all schools, with more serious mental health problems. What can we do to protect ourselves from the potential actions of these students or others in the community? I don't know. My principal, in the past, has asked for alarmed doors and other security measures. The district has turned her down. This type of request would never be turned down in a suburban school district.
This brings me to another point. I am tired of hearing about what a quaint, affluent, "safe" community Newtown is. The tragedy here is that 27 people were killed, and that 20 of them were innocent, beautiful children—not that they were wealthy, suburban children. This would have been equally tragic had it happened in an urban neighborhood, or a poor rural community—and the news media is responsible for conveying that message—that this was the senseless death of children, period.
And now to the important point—the children. I find it easier to go on about gun control and mental health than to write about the immediacy of the tragedy, which is the horrific, violent end to 6 and 7 year old lives. I find it easier to distract myself by staying plastered to the news than to turn off the TV and just sit in silence and feel how I really feel.
Which brings me to the question of prayer. I am not part of a formal religious faith. I grew up in a secular, half Christian half Jewish home. But I have respect for religion, and I believe in God in the sense that I believe in beauty, light, and healing, and the ability for people to come together in community.
As I lit the Chanukah lights last night, I asked myself, what place does "light" have on a day like today? I thought, I could remind myself that light and beauty still exist in the world even when tragedies like this happen—but although it's important to remember light and beauty moving forward, it didn't seem helpful to force myself to think that way when I wasn't feeling it. Then I tried to think of the candles as a celebration of the children's lives—and in the coming days and weeks it will be very important to celebrate them—but it seemed too soon. Then I thought about meditating, where the point is to "just be" with whatever thoughts and emotions come to pass. That also seemed pointless. I feel what I think a lot of us are feeling—powerless. We can't drive to Connecticut to volunteer, we can't send a donation to the Red Cross. There is nothing we can do.
So when people say that they are praying for the children and the families, I am still trying to figure out how to do that. I think what they are doing is asking God to help the families heal from their grief, and help the victims' souls be at peace. This seems like the best thing to do, and I'm trying to figure out how I can do it in a way that feels authentic to me. The thing I keep coming back to is that I just need to love them—love the families as if they were my brothers and sisters, and love the children who witnessed the violence, and the children who did not survive the violence, as if they were my own."

Potential Data Model Types
Types, or Constructs (the terms are used interchangeably here) are the data model constituents. An implementation may take these and instansiate particular Classes, Variables or similar to express the concept in the relevant way for that implementation.
For each potential candidate type:
- a type name
- a short description
should be provided.
Terms of Reference
- The scope of the data model is to define the concepts of CF and the relationships that exist between these concepts.
- The data model provides a logical, implementation neutral, abstraction of the concepts defined by CF.
- The data model does not define the interface to CF.
Editing These Resources
- Anyone involved in the CF community is welcome to add an entry to the 'Types' list and 'definition'.
- Creation of new entries is preferred to editing of current entries; please use unique names.
- If entries are to be edited, please use
strikethroughto indicate text suggested to remove and underline for text suggested to be added.
- ScalarField:
- a defined scalar phenomenon with a multi-dimensional set of phenomenon values and metadata describing the phenomenon values.
- Coord
- a defined phenomenon, providing metadata to a Field.
abstract, not to be explicitly provided by an implementation
- Coordinate (Coord)
DimensionCoordinate (Coordinate):
- a 1 dimensional, monotonic, numerical Coord
coordinate describing one dimension of a Field.
- a 1 dimensional, monotonic, numerical Coord
- AuxiliaryCoordinate (Coord)
- a Coord, owned by a Field and referenced by dimensions of that Field
a coord which does not have to be 1 dimensional, monotonic or numerical a coordinate describing one or more dimensions of a Field
- !DimensionCoordinate:
- a Coordinate, owned by a Field and used by the Field to uniquely define one of its dimensions
- CoordinateRefSystem:
- a frame of reference which spatial coordiantes may be defined with respect to.
- CellMethod:
- a qualification of the phenomenon definition for a field.
The following are the constructs or types of the CF data model proposed in CF ticket 68, which aims at a minimal model, corresponding to CF-netCDF convention version 1.5. By "minimal" we mean with as few constructs as possible (jonathan):
- Field
- a space (defined by Dimensions, AuxiliaryCoordinates, CellMeasures and Transforms) containing data values (a scalar, one- or multi-dimensional array), described by CellMethods, metadata properties (such as standard_name and units), and ancillary Fields. All these contents are optional. For instance, the Field might just be a space with no data in it (for instance, this might be used to describe a grid), or it might be data with no coordinates (for instance, the global mean surface air temperature for an unspecified time).
- Dimension
- the size of a single dimension of the Field, with a one-dimensional monotonic numerical coordinate array of that size, a two-dimensional array of boundary coordinates, and metadata properties serving to describe the dimension. The size is mandatory, but the other contents are optional.
- AuxiliaryCoordinate
- a coordinate array having one or more dimensions of the Field, and optionally a boundary coordinate array and metadata properties.
- CellMeasure
- values for some metric of the space of the Field (for instance, cell areas), either a scalar or an array having one or more dimensions of the Field, with specified units and optionally with other metadata properties.
- CellMethods
- an ordered list of operations, applying to Dimensions of the Field or to other quantities (identified by standard_name), indicating how the data values of the Field represent variation of the quantity within cells (e.g. zonal mean, daily maximum).
- Transform
- functions which specify how coordinate values of the Field can be computed. A Transform identifies the function to be used, and specifies input terms for the function, which can be scalar parameters, Dimensions, AuxiliaryCoordinates of the Field, or other Fields. Transforms represent the CF-netCDF apparatus for dimensionless vertical coordinates (e.g. to compute a pressure coordinate from the sigma and pressure parts of a hybrid sigma-pressure coordinate and a surface pressure Field) and grid_mappings (e.g. to compute latitude and longitude coordinates from eastings and northings in a map projection).
A UML diagram will be displayed here when sufficient types have been agreed upon.
Examples of Types
Example 1
- ScalarField:
- A data variable in a CF NetCDF file is an example of a Field, e.g.:
- a standard name of 'specific_humidity'
- a unit of '1'
- a 2D array of data values, size: (n,m). jonathan: In the model of ticket 68, only the identity of the Dimensions is part of the Field, not their size.
- A data variable in a CF NetCDF file is an example of a Field, e.g.:
- Coordinate:
- This type does not have an example, it can be thought of as an abstract type, which provides common functionality to its tangible sub-types.
- jonathan: This type is not included in the model of ticket 68.
- DimensionCoordinate (Coordinate):
- The example ScalarField may be defined with respect to a regular horizontal grid; this Field would have:
- DimensionCoordinate:
- a long name name of 'easting'
- a unit of 'm'
- a 1D array of values, size:n
- DimensionCoordinate:
- a long name name of 'northing'
- a unit of 'm'
- a 1D array of values, size:m
- DimensionCoordinate:
- jonathan: The model of ticket 68 has a Dimension construct instead of this type; the difference is that it also contains the size of the dimension.
- The example ScalarField may be defined with respect to a regular horizontal grid; this Field would have:
- AuxiliaryCoordinate (Coordinate):
- The example ScalarField may be defined at an instant in time, with a set of height values, one for each data value; this Field would have:
- AuxiliaryCoordiante:
- a standard name of 'time'
- a temporal unit and calendar
- a single value
- a pair of bounds values
- AuxiliaryCoordinate:
- a standard name of 'height_above_reference_ellipsoid'
- a unit of 'm'
- a 2D array of values, size:(n,m). jonathan: In the model of ticket 68, the AuxiliaryCoordinate identifies its dimensions, but their size is part of the Dimensions constructs concerned.
- AuxiliaryCoordiante:
- The example ScalarField may be defined at an instant in time, with a set of height values, one for each data value; this Field would have:
- CoordinateSystem:
- The spatial Coordinates of the ScalarField may be defined with respect to a coordinate reference system:
- a definition of the OSGB CRS
- jonathan: This type is not included in the model of ticket 68. We argue that coordinate systems are implicitly assembled by operations which want to use them, since they know what they are interested in, and/or implied by the Transforms of the Field. For instance, a Transform describes the OSGB CRS; it's a relationship between the map projection system and the latitude-longitude system.
- The spatial Coordinates of the ScalarField may be defined with respect to a coordinate reference system:
- CellMethod:
- The values in the ScalarField are aggregated over time, so the Field has:
- CellMethod
- a coordinate label of 'time'
- an operator 'mean'
- CellMethod
- The values in the ScalarField are aggregated over time, so the Field has:
- CellMeasure:
- For instance,
- identifies itself as containing cell areas
- units of m2
- 2D array of values (n,m) where n and m are Dimensions.
- For instance,

Just because Christmas is over doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to our love of shimmer and glitters and Stila have set the bar high for their spring 2018 launch. We're talking lots of colour and sparkle and a few surprises too! The Stila Bohemian Beauty Spring collection is only fabulous and last week I got to swatch as much of the products as possible and got given one of the bits to try out too.
They've brought out more Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow and Shimmer and Glow, the shimmers have the rose gold lid and the glitters have the gold lid. Can you cope? The answer is no. No Karen, I cannot cope.
If that wasn't enough sparkle for you, they've two new shades of the Glitterati Top Coats, one of which I've swatched over a matte red on my hand below so you could see. I haven't tried it out properly on the lips but the bi-phase formula has a water base, packed full of really fine shimmer that dries matte, so you won't have glitter all over your face.
They've extended their Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick range and have added six Stay All Day Shimmer Liquid Lipsticks and six Stay All Day Sheer Liquid Lipsticks (more on one of them below). And they've brought back their Smudge Kajal Eyeliners! The nude was one of my favourite shades to wear on the waterline years ago and I'll have to get their new version to see how it compares.
The imagery for the collection is beautiful and each look is something I could actually do myself. Ok, maybe I couldn't pull off the pale blue eyeshadow but still, you never know!
I was given a full size of the Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in Grace, one of my favourite shades from the Christmas set I bought last year. And I got the Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in the shade Sheer Beso. Packaging is spot on as per uge.
I thought a little hand swatch might be a good place to start and as I've shown Grace before, let's have the chats about Sheer Beso. This is a double layer, just to show how much it can be built up. But let's see it on the lips.
Now, when Stila said they were bringing out a sheer version of their Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick and when I found out one of them was red, my inner scaredy cat rejoiced! You know me and my goal to wear red lips more outside of the house and now thanks to Sheer Beso, I can build myself up to that. In the photo below, I've applied just one layer so you can see the finish and in the photo underneath that, I've applied two coats.
The finish is beautifully smooth and first impressions are really positive. But I've only worn it around the house so far and I've an event next week that I'm planning on wearing it to, so stand by for a proper wear test in real life!
The Stila Bohemian Beauty Spring collection is available now on Cloud 10 Beauty and on the Stila website. Keep an eye out in Marks and Spencers for it too along with ASOS. I just had a look on their websites and it's not on there yet.
Is anything taking your fancy in the collection?

[QF-Test] Logging QFS results
Hello, I have noticed strange behavior when logging test results under Windows. This is what I do: I start QFTest daemon on remote computer. Next I call it with: qftest -batch -calldaemon -daemonhost xx.yy.zz.ww -daemonport 12345 -runlog c:\.logs\+b -suitedir \\test\users\qft mytestsuite.qft#. Now the funny part: As log result I get XML file (without extension) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE RootStepLog> <RootStepLog ....> ... But when I change the "-runlog" path so it doesn't contain dot (eg. c:\log\+b) and repeat the test, as log result I get binary file (.qrz extension) which I can open and analyze in "QF-Test". Can you explain this behavior an possibly propose a workaround (possibly other than not to use dot in log path :). Thanks. Vlado plaut.sk

GizaPage organizes your social networks and more
One of the big Internet things these days is social networking. There's Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, hi5, YouTube, the list goes on and on. Then there's your personal blog that you maintain, your own website with even more stuff about yourself and you never dreamed that keeping in touch with so many could be so exhausting. But there you have it. You are connected, accessible and everyone out there has a chance to share the wonderfulness of you. But perhaps you are just now beginning to discover that being on so many online places comes with its own set of problems. Like for starters, how does one find out everywhere you are?
Probably the most glaring problem is managing all of that online presence. And it's a double-edged sword if you think about it. The problem affects not only you, but all of the people trying to keep tabs on everything that you're doing as well. I might for example, be trying to touch base with you on your MySpace page but it's your Facebook log that really has the information about you I want. And maybe I didn't even know you were on Twitter but had I known that, I could have seen you were planning to go to that bookstore to meet your favorite author who was making a personal appearance and signing copies of her book. Too bad there wasn't some easier way to see all of your online social networking locations at one time. Well now there is and it's called GizaPage.
Basically, GizaPage is a one-stop online location that aggregates your entire online presence into one website. And that double-edge sword thing I mentioned? GizaPage solves that too because now you just give out your GizaPage address instead. When they go there, they can see every social network, every blog and anything else you're doing online on your single GizaPage location. GizaPage works pretty much like your browser's tabs.
When you or anyone goes to your GizaPage, they see at the top of the page a series of tabs, each with the name of the social website it represents. If you or anyone on your GizaPage clicks on the Facebook tab for example, they will see your Facebook home page with all of the information and links presented just as if you were on the Facebook website itself. Click on the Twitter tab to see your Twitter page. It works for Flickr, Hi5, MySpace, and everything else. Clicking on the corresponding tab on the GizaPage yields that page instantly.
So if you think about it, your personal GizaPage lets your friends discover more about you because they won't miss anything that you're doing. And of course, you won't miss their activities when they give you their GizaPage. GizaPage is really your very own social identity website.
Other GizaPage options include maintaining some basic statistics that show you how many visitors you had to your GizaPage as well as a breakdown that further reveals how many people are looking at the individual social websites you have available there. It's a great way to keep track of what's most popular. Knowing things like that can help you delegate your valuable time to the areas that seem to be getting the most attention and maybe even discontinuing some sites that no one is really looking at. GizaPage can even email additional statistics to you such as any new friends that visited, added profiles and connection requests.
The other angle you may want to consider with GizaPage is its marketing potential. If you're a company seeking better ways for your customers to keep tabs on what you are doing online, giving your customers or clients a single GizaPage address would be a really easy way to let them follow your activities.
At this time, GizaPage is still in Beta and is completely free. Value-added components are already in the works but as of this time, it's all available at no cost. So if you're a social networking butterfly, you're really going to like what GizaPage has to offer. You can now just simply land in one place, yet you can still be everywhere you want to be.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), the world's largest software company, is also known for its annoying security flaws.
Should Investors Buy MSFT After The Recent Slump? Find Out Here
But this really beats everything. According to Venture Beat the company recently gave away free upgrades of its Windows Media Centre and along with that a free copy of Windows 8 Pro Direct as well.
This means that pirates will have a field day since they can get access to copies of the software, even if it's temporary.
"The Media Center upgrade, which Microsoft is offering through January 31, 2013, includes Microsoft's tools for watching and recording live TV. However, applying the upgrade has an unintended side effect: It permanently activates the copy of Windows 8 that you've applied it to," said Venture Beat.
"That provides a neat workaround for pirates who exploit a weakness in Microsoft's Key Management Service (KMS) to get temporary access to copies of Windows 8," it added.
Microsoft's KMS allows IT people in the corporate sector to activate copies of Windows on a local network without having to go through the route of contacting the company for authenticating each licensed copy.
But the flip side of this is that it had handed over the key to pirates, who can make pirate servers which can hand out activation keys over the Internet.
"However, the Media Center upgrade reportedly works even on KMS-authorized installations of Windows, turning KMS-hacked PCs into permanently-authenticated copies of Windows," Venture Beat said.
Stephen Hall of Windows Wave confirmed that piracy through this route is possible.

Sorry, but I'm keeping today's post short and simple.
I start my new job today and when I was preparing my lunch last night, I knew I wanted to bring some Sriracha along for the ride. I thought it silly to share bring a whole bottle to work, so I 0pted for travel size.
---How To:
No lengthy tutorial for this one. All you need is a white/clear and green travel size bottles. Swap the cap for the white one with the green one. Use a paint pin and draw on your design!! It's as simple as that. I'll try and seal it later, so that it doesn't wash off. I'll definitely be hand-washing this bottle.
Nothing too extravagant, though I hope to find a more clear squeeze bottle sometime in the near future. Maybe even do some etching if I can find a good clear bottle. I chose this one because It looked as though it wouldn't open on it's one and waste all that delicious rooster sauce.
I'll be sure to post more about my obsession with Sriracha later :3

Demand Progress Demands End to CISPA
Activist group Demand Progress is continuing its fight
against a cybersecurity information sharing bill
re-introduced last week and backed by cable ops and other ISPs.
The group said Thursday that over 90,000 members had
expressed their displeasure with CISPA (the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and
Protection Act) introduced last week by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.).
Rogers introduced the same bill last year, after which
Demand Progress members -- over 200,000 the group says -- called or emailed
their legislators to complain. That complaint is that the bill preempts all
online privacy laws by allowing for the sharing of cybersecurity threat
information between industry and government without a warrant and with
liability protections for industry.
The group even invoked its late founder, Aaron Swartz, who
dubbed CISPA the "Patriot Act of the Internet."
CISPA passed the House 248-168 last April before running
into a Senate controlled by Democrats favoring a bill with cybersecurity
guidelines Republicans feared would morph into mandates.
The president two weeks ago mandated that voluntary
guidelines be created, but the language was general enough that it drew little
pushback from industry.

Consumers shop with their eyes just as much as they do with their ears. This means you have to have quality website design in place for people to want to continue reading your website. You only have seconds to capture their attention before they hit the back button and move on to a website that belongs to one of your competitors.
At Zella Technologies, we are not just an IT solutions company. We also have knowledgeable and experienced graphic designers who can help you create a website design that is well branded to your organization.
We can create stunning graphics and content that will not only capture the attention of site visitors but also help to convert them into customers. This is sure to increase your conversion rate and increase the number of sales that you experience on a monthly basis.
We understand that website design is a very individual aspect and that is why we schedule a consultation to sit down with you. We will brainstorm various ideas and incorporate all of the features that you require, whether it is e-commerce, a member login, or something else. We can then provide you with a content management system (CMS) to ensure you have the ability to make updates as required. This includes adding blog entries, adding products to your inventory, and much more.
It is important that you don't try and design your own website. Templates will only get you so far as they limit your ability to share what is unique about your company. You don't want a website that looks like every other website out there. It is critical for you to be different as consumers will look at what your website looks like as a precursor to what your products or services will be like.
Contact us today to schedule a free consultation so that we can begin talking about all of the various ways website design can be customized to have a positive impact on your business.

From Redford, Michigan, USA:
When I walk a lot, my hands get swollen and hurt a little bit. It appears that I am retaining water. Is this a sign of possible problems with my kidneys, etc.?
No, I don't think kidney function plays any role. I don't have any further idea of what could be the reason for your symptoms.
Please discuss this problem with your physician.

What would it be like to ride a lion? The thought has been with me for a long time and has been closely tied to a growing desire to be a part of some adventure. This is strange, because for years the spirit of adventure has been typified in the individualism of the American cowboy. Mounted on a horse (not a lion), he chooses his own way with bit and a bridle. I've always been taken with this imagery. The courageous life of a man who answers to none but himself sparks that piece of our hearts that thirsts for risk and meaning.
With respect, I don't think that's true adventure. It is certainly exciting, and it made Clint Eastwood famous. But,to give up everything for the pursuit of individualism, for the pursuit of the self seems to be a narrow goal and a wasted sacrifice. What have I gained if at the end of my life I can say that "I did it my way…for me?" At that, my life, my meaning and my pursuits would all end with my death. A pursuit that ends with me is not a pursuit worth my life.
I'm inspired by the truth that real meaning only happens when one gives his life to something greater that himself. This is what I think it would be like to Ride the Lion. A man on a lion doesn't choose his path. He holds on for dear life. He spends no time looking back, because there is no time to look back. Heart beating, hands sweating, he only looks ahead because there is no telling what will come next. He is completely surrendered to the will of the lion. This is true adventure, and I want it!
I am weary of "cowboy" endeavors that start and end with me. I want to see life from the back of the Lion. Not knowing what comes next, I want to live with the excitement that He's going to take me where He wants to go. I attempt to live surrendered. I am often tempted to let go. Even worse, I sometimes try to turn or tame this Lion. But, ultimately I'm holding on with all I have. I hope these posts inspire you to grab on and hold on!

Mid-Autumn Festival Self Syok CelebrationSeptember 13, 2011
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival ! 中秋节快乐 :) Mid-Autumn Festival meant a lot to me. I still remember when I was a kid, I used to play lantern with my relatives and siblings, eat mooncake with my neighbours :) It was.....so sweet.
I couldn't get to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival since I was 15 because I was having PMR, then 16 and 17 I was having SPM trials, 18 because of A-levels and finally now, I can celebrate it. But too bad, I'm not in Malaysia to celebrate it with my family. Have to wait until I graduate to celebrate mid-autumn festival with my family =/
Anyway, I celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival with my friends ! First time celebrating it in New Zealand and with my two girl friends from Malaysia :)
Before going to this restaurant, I read some reviews online and they say the foods are awesome but the environment is plain and ordinary. If you want to dine in for foods then this is the place but not for environment.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone who is reading my blog :)

Recently I was tattooing someone and at the same time a lady came in to set up an appointment for a new tattoo that I had drawn something for over a year ago that had since changed her mind about what she wanted and the size so I did that design on a good friend that wanted it.After she left I continued tattooing and it came up in conversation about how I won't do the same design on two people and that the design I was tattooing on him was his and his only and they were kind of shocked.This was the third design that I had drawn up for this person before tattooing him that day and then I realized that this person didn't know that I had spent hours drawing for him to make sure the design was right and that I had not just printed something off of the internet that someone else had and tattooed it on him.I think at that point he understood why I couldn't tattoo him when he changed his mind on the original day because I had to draw a new one for him and that I would have to make time in between tattoos and drawings for upcoming tattoos that were already scheduled after his.We have now started a really nice tattoo that we are both happy with and he is really nice and I look forward to working him in the future.
So the reason I am writing this is because when I opened the shop I wanted to make it a comfortable place for tattooers that love tradition,Grandmas and people getting there first tattoo.I wanted to make sure that every tattoo done is a good tattoo not just something slapped on and in doing so it does take time to come up with a design for each person especially large scale tattoos.Some tattoos can be done the same day and we love it when that happens but we never just settle in order to get something done.We also never try to talk someone into getting what we want to do but instead just want to do what works as a good tattoo that will last and not just look good for a picture in our portfolio and then heal up and look horrible.We base our tattooing and the designs we make based on what works and has been done for a long time and still looks good not based on trends or what will make us look cool on instagram.
We schedule based on when we will be able to put our all into each tattoo and most of of the time its sooner than later.We want to make sure that when you show up your design is ready and we are set up and ready to go and not go eat and smoke a bunch of cigarettes and then draw something for you when you show up. We always encourage everyone to come into the shop to discuss the tattoo instead of sending messages over social media or other means to make sure everything is discussed and nothing is looked over.We basically want everyone to know that we appreciate when you want us to tattoo you and that a lot goes into it before we even start the tattoo but once we get it started scheduling is a lot easier and we want to make sure that you ask us all of the questions that you have to make sure we are on the same page before we start.If you don't understand why we do something a certain way feel free to ask and I promise that the reason is because we have your best interests in mind.We always encourage everyone to come into the shop to discuss the tattoo instead of sending messages over social media or other means to make sure everything is discussed and nothing is looked over.
Thank you

Rebel is the new modification of the popular American truck which is aimed at severe off-road conditions. RAM from Dodge is the typical US-made pickup truck with large cargo area, many variants of cabin, bed lenght, powertrains.
New version is expected win hearts of buyers who need something special, rather than an ordinary RAM truck.
The Dodge RAM Rebel should be available in the U.S. in the second half of 2017, prices haven't yet been confirmed, but it is expected that prices will start at $26,545.
Release date: end of 2017
Update: already available in showrooms with the start price of $26,495
Slightly Modified
The Rebel will come as full all-wheel drive or rear wheel drive only, using engines that produce at least 300+ BHP. The new Rebel will differ from the existing model with a modified rear fender, wider wheel arches, aluminum hood (with twin air intakes) and a new chrome grille.

Rebel TRX concept
Part of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles manufacturer Ram pickups introduced the concept Rebel TRX. While the car is made in a single copy and has the status of a prototype, but we can assume that the company is considering the possibility of release such a machine for competition with the Ford F-150 Raptor.
The concept received a 575-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, which is mated to an 8-speed "automatic". Most likely, it is a derated engine from the Dodge Charger / Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Due to the significant increase in power, the truck received a refined suspension and running gear. 2017 Ram Rebel TRX has Rear Axle Dynatrac Pro 60 with electronically-controlled limited slip differential, universal joints were also enhanced.
Suspension range is increased by 40%, the nominal tire replaced by a 37-inch – for the sake of such tires the arches had to be expanded. As a result, the pickup clearance reaches to 13 inches. The car also received a shock with remote reservoir and 6-piston brakes in front and rear.
The seats are equipped with 6-point belts, there are two spare wheels, tool kit, and pinion jack is placed on the loading platform.
The performance data of the truck has not reported.
More Aggressive
The new truck from the Chrysler Group has received something of a more aggressive appearance, Chrysler hope that the new look will be well received. Updates include a modified grille, front fender including tow hooks, headlights (featuring SDH – LED navigation lights), wider wheel arches and a ventilated hood.

In the Cabin
The interior has seen some restyling also; cloth and vinyl materials have been used, the vinyl being embossed to resemble the pattern of a tire. The black color scheme has hints of red accents and panelling, and there are silver colored components throughout the cabin.
The steering wheel is heated and leather wrapped and there is a particularly useful device holder built-in (which will hold anything up to a tablet size).
Tech Changes
The new 2017 Dodge RAM Rebel will have two engine choices; the base 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 that produces 309 BHP and 255 lb/ft of torque and the V8 5.7 liter Hemi engine which produces 400+ BHP and 409 lb/ft of torque.
There will be options for both all-wheel and rear wheel drive only models.
The suspension of the RAM Rebel has also been upgraded, it has a further increase in ground clearance, up to 10.2". Bilstein shocks are fitted as standard, as are Toyo open country tires.

Rachael Solem had never even stayed in a hotel, let alone owned one, when she decided to purchase and renovate Irving House, a quaint bed and breakfast in the heart of Cambridge, Mass. Ever since 1990, however, Rachael and her two business partners have provided comfortable, affordable accommodations with a local flair.
Under the operation of Rachael and her partners, the Irving House at Harvard boasts 44 guest rooms renovated to improve comfort and amenities. Guests can choose from a variety of room options, ranging from a single room with a shared bathroom to a spacious family-sized room with a private bathroom. The bed and breakfast also offers long-term accommodations at a nearby house in rooms complete with a private bathroom and kitchenette.
Rachael supports several other local businesses by serving locally made breakfast and snacks to Irving House guests. Additionally, Rachael is the co-chair of Cambridge Local First, a group of locally and independently owned businesses in the Cambridge area. She says she finds it "much more fun, sometimes economical, and surely more rewarding," to buy locally.
Supporting Irving House means supporting local businesses, but it also means supporting the environment. Rachael buys shampoo, soap and lotion for her guest rooms from eco-friendly companies. Irving House also has a significant recycling program and composts all of its food waste. In 2006, the Irving House was awarded the EPA's Energy Star for its commitment to environmentally friendly practices. More recently, the bed and breakfast got an environmental face-lift with the installment of solar panels in 2009.
Rachael and the rest of the Irving House team also take a local, personal approach in dealing with guests. "We do what we can for guests, particularly those who are visiting loved ones in one of the hospitals nearby," she says. "If we can do something to ease difficult situations, we do." The guesthouse maintains a "giving library" throughout the property, through which guests take and exchange books they like. Rachael says the feeling of community at Irving House also appeals to women traveling alone because it makes them feel safer than being at a large chain hotel.
The local environment of Irving House makes it a great choice for travelers of all kinds. In 2011, the Irving House was awarded Trip Advisor's Certificate of Excellence. For more information, or to make a reservation, visit the Irving House's website at www.irvinghouse.com.

Tips for using blogs in the classroom
It seems like everyone has a blog these days. Some of us even have more than one (er, five…). And many educators have taken advantage of this popular outlet to use as a teaching tool in the classroom.
But there's more to using blogs in the classroom than just throwing up homework assignments or sharing classroom announcements. Here are some tips for the best ways to incorporate blogs into your classroom:
One of the best ways to incorporate blogs into the classroom is to use it for collaborative discussions and projects. Students can post their ideas, comments to a discussion, reflections on assignments or lectures, and more. Blogs can be a place for students working together to share ideas, or they can be used by teachers to guide discussions and provide prompts for critical thinking.
Students can use blogs as a space to share reflections on readings or other critical-thinking assignments. The teacher can pose questions for consideration, or students can provide open-ended responses on how they felt about what they read or questions that it caused them to consider. Instead of typing up these responses and turning them in as homework, students can submit them via blog where they are visible for the whole class to see.
Journaling possibilities are open-ended with a blog, which is essentially an online journal. Students can maintain individual blogs used to post classroom writing assignments, or a classroom blog can be kept to compare writings and share ideas. Writings can range from academic to personal, for the development of writing skills or for personal expression.
Students often need extra help to understand concepts. Teachers can create blogs with extra materials — from readings to exercises — to give students the extra help that they need. Videos, readings, podcasts and more can be posted for students to use as they need them.
Classroom Management:
Blogs are an easy way to coordinate classroom assignments and announcements. Teachers can use them to post homework assignments, to provide feedback, and even to make announcements about upcoming classroom activities or other requirements. It's also a great place to share news of awards, or even pictures from special events.
Online Portfolio:
Students can create an online portfolio of work through blogs that can then be used to measure progress over the course of a semester or a year, or can be used for long-term projects that require revision or building upon a foundation of earlier projects. It's also useful to help students see what they have created and how they have progressed.
Benefits of Blogs
Today's students are "digital natives" in that they were born in an age in which computers and other technology are ubiquitous in their lives. They grew up with e-mail, texting, and cell phones. They probably know their way around a Tivo better than you do. Using technology to help them learn is natural, as it brings the information to them on their own terms.
Blogs can also help motivate learning by offering students a new outlet — something outside the realm of the traditional classroom. There is room for creativity and interaction that isn't always possible in the classroom. It also gives shy students a chance to "speak up" without the fear of face-to-face interaction.
Blogs offer new outlets to help students with reading and writing skills. Books and worksheets can sometimes seem stodgy to students, but blogs offer materials on an online forum — the same forum where they are used to getting their games, or connecting with friends, or reading about other interests.
Still unsure how you can use blogs in your classroom? Check out Web 2.0's list 33 Ways to Use Blog in Your Classroom and Educational Settings.

By email@example.com (Larry Wanger)
The North Pole has now been made wheelchair accessible. On April 11, 2009 a disabled parking sign was raised at the North Pole on the 100th anniversary of the first successful polar expedition. David Shannon became the first person in world history with quadriplegia and in a wheelchair to reach the Pole. He along with expedition co-leader and fellow Canadian, Chris Watkins, developed "Team Independence 09" to promote breaking barriers to accessibility and greater community inclusion.
David upon reaching the pole stated, "This sign represents all peoples who have faced challenges or adversity in their lives and have dreamed of overcoming them. If we as people, work together in our homes, our cities, our countries and in our global village, there is no dream that cannot be realized."
Chris Watkins who himself was injured in 1988 stated, "David and our team represents the long-shot win of the underdog. But it shows that there is no dream too big to dream and no challenge to big to overcome. What David has left us with is a world of infinite horizons."

We would have all heard the turn of phrase "fireplace and home" nicely that's because there's an excellent purpose why that phrase has become recognized. In one case in Kansas City, a homeowner had a carpenter construct customized bookcases and trim work around and above the hearth. Even replacing or upgrading your hearth surrounds can take on many ranges. Observe how putting the TELEVISION off to at least one side quite than immediately above the fireside keeps the give attention to the fireplace.
Constructed-in cabinets next to fireplace. We thought adding the mantel and gluing in a mirror would enhance the dining room. A small hearth rework may involve repairing or enhancing a hearth façade, while a bigger mission would come with installing a wooden range.
A remodel is great to vamp up your previous fire that may be serving you effectively functionally, but might accomplish that rather more with a manageable investment of time and money. The fireside is normally the focus of the room so it is necessary for it to coordinate with the fashion of the home.
One idea is to paint the prevailing brick or wood. Look up AMS Fireplace Door Transform concepts!! Different reworking requires the assistance of a talented skilled. We've a Seventies tract home however are in love with the Craftsman era and are slowly remodeling our house one room at a time as we will afford it. I do all of my own work and hold all the pieces on a low funds.
Project: Transforming a fireplace wall. A trompe l'oeil treatment retains the homefires ever-burning on this fireplace on Nantucket by Housefox Design. Ornately carved wood makes this Mexican mantelpiece (found at a salvage store in Dallas) the point of interest of a colourful room.

As you may know, besides this website, I have a Facebook author page, a Twitter account, a Goodreads author profile, a Tumblr blog, and Pinterest boards. I try to be accessible to you. Because I haven't given a firm release date for Iniquity, I'm being asked the same question often on every social media site:
When will Iniquity be released?
(I'm NOT whining about being asked this question. This is completely legit, since I haven't told you a firm date, yet.)
The unsatisfying answer is:
I don't have a release date for Iniquity. I'm just saying summer of 2013. When I get closer to finishing, I'll give a release date.
I'm working on Iniquity everyday, but I don't want to rush the story so I'm not giving myself a hard deadline. I want to take my time with it because I think that you'll forgive me for being slow, but you won't forgive me for putting out a story that doesn't give you what the other books had promised. I owe you that after four books. I owe it to the characters, too. If this was only about money, I'd have written shorter books and cranked them out as fast as I could. That's not it for me. I love this story and I love these characters. They live and breathe for me. I feel sometimes like they're telling me the stories and I'm just writing them down. I don't want to compromise that.
I do see the need to keep you informed about the progress of Iniquity. I want to share it with you so badly!! I want to bounce ideas off you, but that will ruin the story for you. I can, however, give you another teaser, if that helps. I don't know who you want to see in it: Reed? Brennus? Russell? Xavier? Zephyr? Buns and Brownie? Tau?
I've designed an online poll below in order to narrow my search for the perfect Iniquity teaser. Simply vote for the character you most want to see in the next teaser. In the next few days, I'll post an excerpt from Iniquity featuring the character with the most votes. Thank you for supporting me! I am the luckiest writer in the world to have you for a reader. You're a total rock star! Mwah!
Speaking of TOTAL ROCK STARS, Here's what I've been listening to lately on Spotify as I write Iniquity:

Absoutaly love your books! I have probably read them at least 3 times each! It helps me escape into a fantasy world when my baby girl goes down for bed! I hope one day this could turn into a box office hit! I think it would blow twilight out of the water!
5/7/2013 06:30:24
Can I choose all of the above?
5/7/2013 07:56:58
Hey Amy, guess who I voted for? moin!!!
5/7/2013 08:35:24
Love them all, but i will choose Xavier
5/7/2013 08:38:26
Xavier baby!
5/7/2013 11:27:46
Amy- you're the best! I so admire the fact that you give your characters the time to come up to scratch at that writing brain of yours instead of just cranking books out. It is so very obvious the love and care you take! I am on pins and needles for Iniquity! As much as you call your fans "rock stars" I hope you know that YOU are the one who is a TOTAL ROCK STAR!!
Frances Arvallo
5/7/2013 12:15:53
TAKE YOUR TIME AMY!! Good move and decision on taking your time and putting all you got into this book. I rather wait for a complete masterpiece--HIGH EXPECTATIONS HERE! I know that you will not disappoint us!
Melissa Box
5/7/2013 13:11:46
I love Reed, truly I do...but there is something I find extremely interesting about Xavier and I'm really looking forward to learning more of his story. Thanks for taking the time you need to do your story and the characters justice. Being patient on my end is a small price to pay for such great reads!!!
5/8/2013 13:18:44
So excited for this book to come out! Xavier may be interesting but I'm a complete Reed fan!! ALSO!!!!!
5/8/2013 14:58:55
It bothers me so many people like Xavier.... I mean, what about Brennus?! C'mon guys, hes been around way longer than Xavier...and he's an Irish undead fairy! More Brennus!:)

Amy you will always do right by the story and ultimately us. I love all the guys, but the character who fascinates me most is Evie and how she matured, evolved, bravely faced, and deeply loved, even the unlovable. There is a lesson in there for all of us I am sure. I would love to see a teaser on her next challenge in love, maybe with Tau?
6/2/2013 13:34:56
I hope there is a lot more of Xavier in this book. Even though he hasn't had much of an appearance compared to Reed, I'm team Xavier all the way. :D
6/16/2013 07:09:17
Brennus all the way! I love how he challenges Evie and her perception of inherent evil. He's got so much potential to be good and his interactions with Evie nurture that in him.
7/1/2013 08:22:37
It is July 1st, any update on release date? Or am I missing that somewhere? Thanks!
