We had one turkey, sweet potato casserole, mashed cauliflower, green bean casserole and carrots. There were six people at the table. Three of us were already primal and three were not but all of us enjoyed each dish without guilt or bloating. Cleanup didn't take long and I managed 5 perfect portions of leftovers for my lunches at work next week!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF DAN 11:13-17 !!! That is the REAL STORY !! The Virus is a Distraction (old jedi mind-trick).
DAN 11:13-17 IS THE REAL STORY !!!!! Is anybody Listening ?! Hello ???
This very simple,
non-religious, non-commercial, website is an
accumulation of one person's respectful reflections and deductions
(and some speculation) about God and the bible.
......There is so
much information on the Internet and so much hurry..... why should you slow down for this odd little site ?
All I can say is that all of the apparently unique discoveries/deductions/conclusions that have been written here have taken me by surprise. But they have deepened my perception of God and the Bible beyond measure. And like a 'fire in my bones' I don't think I could live if I didn't share them.
So, take a deep breath, relax, and take your time, I hope you will find it time well spent.....
These first two subjects, the Truth about God & the Origami articles, will set the tone, it is a very different tone. :

(Oops. Forgot that Yehovah promised Israel they would not be attacked during their Festivals, so it can't be on Nisan 1, or prolly until after Passover, meaning; after about the 17th of April. So, I'm still thinkin' spring, but no sooner than that. -added April 5.)

Your Child's First Visit
You most likely already know how important oral hygiene is for keeping your mouth healthy. The ADA recommends brushing and flossing your teeth every day as well as having your mouth professional cleaned and examined at least twice a year. Professional dental care is not limited to adults. Children need dental care, too. Moreover, this care should begin early. North Atlanta Family Dentistry is here to help.
At What Age Should My Child First Be Seen?
One of the most common questions we receive is when a child should be seen for their first dental visit. The answer may surprise you. It is recommended that children have their first dental visit six months following the eruption of their first baby tooth or no later than their first birthday.
What to Expect at the First Appointment
The first visit is fairly simple and straightforward. The goal of this visit is to get acquainted with your child and to let your child meet us. Early dental visits help your child to feel more comfortable with us, making dental visits as they get older easier.
During the first visit, your child sits in the dental chair. If it is easier, we may ask that you sit with them, holding them in your lap. This can help your child to feel more comfortable. We then take a quick look inside their mouth to examine their gums and any teeth that have already erupted. If necessary, we can provide a quick cleaning.
After examining their teeth, we then discuss with you. There are a few different topics that may be covered, including:
Are X-Rays Taken at the First Appointment?
Typically, X-rays are not taken at the first appointment. There are some instances in which this may be necessary, such as the presence of a cleft palate or other existing issues. In most cases, however, your child will not receive their first dental X-rays until around the age of 6 or 7. At this time, the adult teeth are developed below the gums and are getting ready to erupt.
Your child may have already lost one or more of their baby teeth, and the adult teeth are beginning to erupt through the gums. X-rays are an essential component in providing your child with optimal oral care. They allow us to detect issues like cavities between teeth as well as to monitor the development of their teeth and jaws. X-rays can also help to detect the presence of orthodontic issues. By detecting orthodontic issues, your child can get the treatment they need to ensure proper oral development.
After the first appointment, we will get your child set up for their next one. Just like you, your child should be seen every 6 months. Call North Atlanta Family Dentistry today at (470) 387-0500 for more information and get your child scheduled for their very first visit.

In 2013 this site was released for re-development by Bournemouth Borough Council, as part of its Town Centre Master Vision. We provided essential Party Wall Services to the Developers to allow three blocks of much-needed student accommodation for the Arts University Bournemouth as well as a car park with 382 spaces for use by local residents, commuters, shoppers and businesses. It features an attractive series of large, bright aluminium 'fins' in eight graduating shades from pale yellow through to bright orange and has become a familiar landmark easily visible from the Wessex Way.<< Back to Party Wall Act & Neighbourly Matters

Wheel Alignment
Expert Wheel Alignment in Bellevue!
If you notice these signs, bring your car in for an alignment check:
Uneven wearing of your tires
The vehicle seems to be drifting to one side, even when you think you're driving straight
The steering wheel vibrates more than usual
While driving straight, the steering wheel is not properly centered
Your wheel alignment is important for you and your car for many reasons. Proper wheel alignment is essential to ensure that your car's tires wear correctly. More importantly, it's a matter of driver safety. Bad wheel alignment can limit a driver's ability to have control over the vehicle. Correct wheel alignment is good for control and also very good for your overall fuel efficiency. You really should try to get your vehicle's wheel alignment inspected every six months or at least every year. We've been handling Wheel Alignment Bellevue drivers can depend upon for their utmost safety and efficiency.
There are many ways that your car may be knocked out of alignment. Your vehicle's suspension could wear and the springs may be stretched. Running into the curb or a small collision can throw off your suspension and make your car misaligned. We obtain alignment readings that will let us know precisely what needs fixing concerning the caster, camber or toe angle. This can be corrected quickly through a re-alignment that will make sure that your suspension components are restored to their proper measurements so that your car will drive straight and your wheels are sitting in the correct positions.
While we are fixing your car Ali's Bellevue Auto Repair will also inspect your tire pressure, and ware through professional testing. Ali's is also equipped to work on large vehicles and commercial trucks. We are proud to also work on engines, transmissions, auto body and everything else you may need for your car.

About IP Addresses & CASB IP Restriction
IP Address or Internet Protocol address to expand, is a unique string of numerics which is assigned to each computer or device that is part of a computer network and enables the devices and/or computers to communicate securely. This unique combination of numbers serves chief functions of networking protocols. These IP addresses thus are used to determine the precise location of all the individual devices geographically, and as well the host address to which the devices are connected to. On TCP/IP network, the unique 32-bit combination of numbers exactly identifies a host that maybe a personal computer, a laptop, tablet, and even printer and routers. Expand your knowledge of CASB IP Restriction solution.
Cloud-Based Working Environment Imparts Flexibility
Nowadays, as Cloud Computing with host of benefits for IT firms overshadowed the IT arena with multiple cloud apps running simultaneously rendering mobility to the network resources with the flexibility of creating a network of devices located miles apart, employees as well as organizations are benefiting hugely because of the increased expanse of the network alone. It has created an all-time conducive environment for all to work 24×7, 365 days a year, largely contributing to all-round performance in this service industry. But the catch lies for the companies as to how effectively and efficiently they can manage multiple IP addresses over a single large network and may have sub-networks, without risking their confidential data from leakage or getting into wrong hands challenging the overall enterprise security.
Data Becomes Accessible on Multiple IP Addresses
Thus, Cloud Security is the biggest challenge any organization has to accept while moving to cloud is to protect their confidential data, which consumes multiple IP addresses placed miles apart, far from in-person reach, in cloud environment. Though it is easy and quick access from anywhere and anytime for employees, the cybercriminals too are upgrading their technology to unearth the most crucial data they steal from companies network resources. This ease of access from multiple locations using multiple IPs is more of a burden at times on organizations when their critical data is lying insecure, and it is a real cloud security threat that is keeping many organizations away from reaping the benefits of cloud computing. Usually, data thefts or breaches are committed either by the employees of the same organization they are working for or sometimes from outside hackers who are targeting crucial data for personal gains. In any event, of utmost importance is to keep the data secure anyhow.
CASB Security Arm
CASB solutions of any Cloud Access Security Brokers are a new arm in cloud computing that counter-act against evil instincts of cyber thieves. It not only keeps the rotten apples out of the cloud basket, but also restricts the activity to a limited space. A CASB solution bridges the gap between cloud and the organizations and enables the organizations to keep their data safe and protected at all times even if it is being accessed through multiple ports. The organizations landing on cloud-based operations can easily create and design one-on-one policies as well as group-policies to exactly define and restrict the data flow into the various channels of their corporate network. When CASBs emerged in the year 2011, they were perceived as cloud-visibility solutions across 4 pillars of compliance, threat-protection, visibility, and cloud data security. As per Gartner predictions, by year 2020, 85% of firms would be already using a CASB solution for securing their cloud-based apps.
Resolution in the Form of CASB IP Restriction
CloudCodes IP Restriction Solution can ensure enhanced security control by restricting one or only some pre-defined multiple IP addresses to specific users, outside which, they cannot access data from any other IP address, not defined to be used by them. CloudCodes for Business Access Control IP restriction feature helps in keeping a check on employees' access to data from different IP addresses to avoid any unwanted data breaches that can otherwise lead to serious losses to the company. The CASB IP restriction feature present in CloudCodes CASB for Business solution helps in imposing certain IP restriction policies for ensuring enhanced security governance by imparting visibility into how that organization's data is being used, inside the cloud network for increased security governance. This feature is used in many industry verticals, though largely used in Finance industry, Logistics, Ecommerce industry, Automobile segment, Manufacturing sector, IT industry, Telecom segment, and Healthcare sector (KPOs) too

Second Chance Auto Loans: When Bad Credit Happens to Good People
Do you want to buy a new car but know you have bad credit? If you have a poor credit rating, chances are you will have a difficult time obtaining auto credit. However, your less-than-perfect credit score doesn't have to hold you back from owning your dream car.
There are car dealers out there who understand that situations out of your control can lead to a poor credit rating. A death in the family, personal injury, a divorce or any other unexpected life event can throw you into credit difficulties, even if you have been financially responsible in the past. If you are in this type of situation and need a new car, look for a car dealership who offers in-house financing and second chance car loans, as they can offer you more auto credit loan options, and they will work with you to rebuild your credit score.
A car dealership that is willing to work with your current financial circumstances will make it easy to obtain an auto credit loan by offering an online credit application. Once you have completed a credit application online, the dealer will get in touch with you to discuss your auto credit options. They will use the information from your credit application and discussions with you to put together a customized auto credit loan package that allows you to get behind the wheel of a new car and helps you to improve your credit rating over time.
Some people are hesitant to fill out a credit application online. But rest assured that any reputable car dealership will have a secure credit application form on their website, and will take the security of your personal information very seriously. If you still feel uneasy about sharing your credit information online, or have questions about the requested fields on the application form, call your dealership directly and they will be happy to walk you through the application process.
Remember, there are car dealers who understand your unique financial situation, and want to help you find the money you need to buy your dream car! Don't hesitate to fill out a free credit application from a reputable car dealership. Doing so can help you build up your auto credit and get you driving your new car as soon as possible.

Building on their flurry of announcements around last week's MIX08 event, Microsoft's Live Platform Services GM, George Moore has just outlined in the dev.live blog how Microsoft plans to unify their storage solutions from on premise all the way up to cloud storage. As you can see below, the strategy spans a range of products and services. As a driving theme, the post makes reference to Ray Ozzie's MIX08 keynote and ideas around having a connected "mesh" of synchronized devices and services.
As George describes "For the first time ever we have a unified protocol and developer tooling story across most of our major storage products from Microsoft". Microsoft provides the following table to help summarize the layers on this stack. The four layers build up from Microsoft-specific products and services, the open standard protocols, developer tools, and at the highest level is a synchronization infrastructure.
Technically, two key pieces of the puzzle are: a) using Atom as the "unified on-the-wire format" with AtomPub as the "unified protocol", and b) "a set of URI namespace conventions to address scalar values and feed-of-feed hierarchy navigation which also work uniformly across the above storage products and services, regardless of the top level DNS address of the underlying service." The latter are outlined in this table:
Earlier this month ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley wrote about Microsoft working to stitch together a comprehensive story on unified storage. It's safe to assume there will be additional Microsoft announcements before long as more pieces of the Live Services puzzle fall into place (23 Live APIs so far).

Southampton (River Hamble)
From CruisersWiki
Southampton (River Hamble)
Port of Entry
The river Hamble must have one of the highest density of yachts of anywhere in the world. The few miles from the entrance to the A27 bridge boast 5 large marinas and moorings down the entire length. It is the hub of the UK yachting industry and all marine services are available nearby.
You probably won't come here for a peaceful experience - but for a place to leave the boat and get work done while you explore the country, it's second to none.
- 2036 - The Solent and Southampton Water
Give local weather conditions or refer to another page (a region or island group) that covers these conditions.
Sources for Weather forecasts:
List popular passages/routes, timing, etc.
Also see World Cruiser's Nets.
After finding the Hamble Point southerly Cardinal buoy (Q(6)+LFl.15s) and passing it close to port a generally northerly course is steered leaving the green beacons to starboard and the Easterly Cardinal post followed by red beacons to port. The narrow white section of the sectored light on the shore near Hamble Point (Dir.Oc(2).WRG.12s) shows the way in, and all the posts are lit. Don't be tempted to stray to the north (port side when entering), since the drying, gravel bank is unforgiving. In the region of the green post number seven and the red post number six the channel swings slightly to the NNE, and the beacons and posts continue to show the way. A further sectored light on the shore at Warsash (Dir.Iso.WRG.6s) now shows the way with its narrow white sector.
An long, thin jetty pushing right out into the River on the starboard hand belongs to the Warsash Maritime Centre. Lifeboats and capsules suspended on davits are used for training big ship Mariners, and it is identifiable in darkness too.
The channel is invariably busy in the summer and you need to keep to the starboard side. Using the engine is sensible and seamamlike. Once in the River proper it is relatively simple to follow the gap between the moored boats that mark the edges of the narrow channel.
For strangers although it is possible to enter the River in darkness it is probably not advisable to push any further than Hamble point Marina, for fear having an unexpected and unwelcome encounter with an unlit mooring pile or moored boat.
Southampton is a port of entry/exit to the United Kingdom.
For entrance details see United Kingdom.

Contest #28: Winner
There's a lot of parity between our best entries these days and the vote totals reflected that. The user that ended up on top was erumpeltin. The entry that did it is shown below.
Erumpeltin joins Jakutz in the uber-exclusive repeat champion club. Actually, it could be argued that erumeltin is in a different category since he is the first person to win two regular MM contests (Jakutz won a photo contest). Well, I'll let you guys hash that out, should you care.
Like I mentioned before, there's no MM participation reward this week. We aren't doing away with it entirely, we're just going to use it periodically instead of every contest. We're going to reallocate the funds that would normally go to the weekly participation prize to a new prize we're setting up based on rewarding the best user-submitted contest ideas. More details about this new prize will follow soon.
Here's erumpeltin's prize-winning diagram:

"There was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently"
– William Shakespeare, from Much Ado About Nothing
We are equipped to handle most emergencies the same day you call. Please call by 10am to be seen the same day. Call our office at (651)322-7373.
Tooth aches were a leading cause of death less than 100 years ago and one of the only dental emergencies that are life threatening. We take them seriously and want you to know it!
It doesn't seem fair to charge high fees for someone who is in a painful, vulnerable position like that associated with tooth pain. We believe that you deserve to get in fast and find out whats wrong. Call NOW and we'll have your pain removed so you can get back to your life!
There are a number of simple precautions you can take to avoid accident and injury to your teeth. One way to reduce the chances of damage to your teeth, lips, cheek and tongue is to wear a mouth guard when participating in sports or recreational activities that may pose a risk. Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels and hard candy, all of which can crack a tooth. Cut tape using scissors rather than your teeth. Accidents do happen, and knowing what to do when one occurs can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.
Dental Abscesses
Swelling, or throbbing pain in the tooth, face, mouth or head can sometimes be life threatening. Call our office immediately or go to an emergency room. Avoid excessive over the counter medicines, heat and activity. Do not lay flat when sleeping, but remain more upright so the pressure does not build up in your tooth. Dental infections can become infections of bone, and do not heal without intervention from the dentist. If appropriate, you may be prescribed antibiotics.
Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. If you have any pain or swelling, use cold compresses on the area to keep any swelling down. Call us to schedule an appointment to have your tooth repaired.
Bitten Lip or Tongue
Clean the area gently with a cloth and apply cold compresses to reduce any swelling. If the bleeding does not stop, go to a hospital emergency room immediately.
Jaw-Possibly Broken
Apply cold compresses to control swelling. Contact us or a hospital emergency department immediately.
Objects Caught Between Teeth
Try to gently remove the object with dental floss; avoid cutting the gums. Never use a sharp instrument to remove any object that is stuck between your teeth. If you can't dislodge the object using dental floss, contact us.

Potent Health Benefits of Eating Fresh Pineapple (Ananas)
The first thing that we remember when someone takes the name Pineapple is the yellow orange fruit with prickles. As a kid, it was one of my mouth watering fruit. Pineapple in Hindi is known as Ananas. Whereas the scientific name of Pineapple fruit is Ananas comosus. Pineapple is a tropical fruit that everyone knows, but do you know the nutritional value of pineapple fruit?
Let's explore the nutritional value of consuming pineapple (per 100g).
Pineapples are a rich source of vitamins like Niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Thiamine, Riboflavin, etc. Having 100g of pineapple fruit provides 209kJ of energy, carbohydrates 13.12g, fats 0.12g, proteins 0.54g & minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, sodium, potassium & many more. So basically having this yellow raw fruit has a lot of health benefits. Include it in your diet whichever way you like as a fruit or juice or in salads or as jam or as chutney. I think the list goes on. There is no reason as to why we should not have it. Don't you think so?
Benefits of Pineapple
A fruit loaded with so much nutritional value also has numerous health benefits. Pineapple fruit is beneficial both for men and women. Here are 16 benefits of sweet and sour Ananas.
- Prevents Colds
- Aids in Weight Loss
- Promotes Bone Health
- Healthy Digestion
- Fights against Cough
- Improves Oral Health
- Blood Circulation
- Boost Tissue Health
- Fight Arthritis
- Blood Pressure
- Improves Eyesight
- Reduces Hypertension
- Asthma Prevention
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties
- Bronchitis
- Relieves Nausea
Prevents Colds
Bromelain is an enzyme which is found in Pineapple and has anti-inflammatory properties which helps in fighting against the cold.
Aids in Weight Loss
Since the fruit contains large amount of water, thereby making you feel full. So include pineapple in your diet to reduce weight loss.
Promotes Bone Health
This fruit contains good amount of calcium, potassium & magnesium. All these minerals help in improving the bone health and makes them stronger.
Healthy Digestion
Pineapple is rich in fibers that helps in aiding the digestion process. There are 2 types of fibers – Soluble & Insoluble. Ananas has a major amount of soluble fiber.

New nio Card Uses NFC
In the United Kingdom, a new startup company is trying to come up with the first Bitcoin smartcard. Bluenio has started a Kickstarter campaign to help it fund the nio Card.
The company's nio Card has a lot of functions. For one, it uses near-field communication technology to help you transfer Bitcoins. It also acts as a Bitcoin wallet. But more importantly, it is a security chain that helps you keep your smartphone or wallet safe.
As a Bitcoin transfer tool, the nio Card gives you one tap convenience. It makes it simple and easy to pay with Bitcoins. Bitcoins might be very popular now, but it is quite troublesome to pay with them. Right now, to pay with Bitcoins, you will need to scan a QR code, validate the payment, and then input your private code keys. With nio Card, you just tap and it will provide everything else.
The concept is nothing new. In fact, Android users have already used mobile apps to use their phone's near-field communication chip to pay with Bitcoins. But not all Android phones have NFC in them. More significantly, Apple's flagship products, the iPhone and the iPad, also do not have NFC! nio Card is a way to make sure that even those devices without NFC can still be used for easy Bitcoin payments.
There are plans to make the nio Card available for other payment services such as replacing debit and credit cards and even cash. More than that, the company is also thinking of other applications for nio Card. For example, in the future, you can use nio Card for keyless entry to your car or house. You can also use the nio Card to keep track of fitness activities.
If you want to own a nio Card, you will have to wait until March when it comes out. It will also be a little bit on the expensive side, with retail prices pegged at $98.

Often referred to as "the bacon of fruit" or "the best thing to happen to toast since sliced bread" (or something like that), avocados need no introduction. But it turns out there's an all-new vehicle for consuming even more of the velvety green stuff: chocolate bars.
The ridiculously "basic" chocolate is called the White Chocolate & California Avocado Bar and it's the latest trendy creation from Los Angeles-based chocolate maker Compartes, the same maniacs who unleashed rosé chocolate bars last summer. Each bar of the green stuff is made with the company's signature white chocolate and, perhaps bizarrely, fresh California avocados, according to Compartes online store. The chocolate went on sale on Thursday and will set you back $10 per bar, or about half of what you've paid for fancy avocado toast in Brooklyn. Just admit it.
Ghost Kitchen: How This NYC Restaurant Is Responding to Coronavirus
Sure, chocolate and avocado seems kind of weird, but it actually makes sense when you consider similar fusions like chocolate avocado popsicles and chocolate avocado pudding. If you think about it, marrying the two flavors in the form of a convenient chocolate bar was probably inevitable, if not overdue. So far, it remains to be seen whether people like the new chocolate, but Compartes claims there's "nothing else quite like it." Maybe it's good with a dot or two of sriracha on top or melted down and drizzled over tortilla chips. Only one way to find out.

There are many, many people who have inspired me in my life. Henry Chitsenga is one of them. I connected with Mukoma Henry, some years ago through Facebook and we have chatted every now and then. I am just amazed by the incredible work this man has done in Zimbabwe over the years with orphans. His vision and life mission is simple, to leave the world a better place that he found it and I believe so far he has already done that, looking at all the people whose lives he has been touching along the way.
Mukoma Henry is fiercely determined to fulfil his mission. Nothing will stop the man. He used to teach at Morgan High in Harare and many times when I have mentioned fellow students from the school that I engaged them, he tells me he taught them in this year and that year. A few examples are Kennedy Makahamadze , John Mangwengwende and Michael Luberto whose paths I crossed because of chess. What I find very remarkable is that often he is able to give me the exact years that he taught the students.
Mukoma Henry is currently a Maths Teacher at St Edward's School in the United Kingdom. About teaching he says it is a noble job which he values most. What drives the man I asked him. He is driven by the abject poverty and suffering of the less privileged members of our community. It is his dream to help just a few orphans so that they can get the best education they deserve.

LA ExpressLanes (aka HOT Lanes) Toll Schedule Set
As Planetizen reported last month, toll lanes and transit are headed to two Los Angeles County freeways as a consequence of New York City's forfeiting over $300 million in an Urban Partnership Grant when the state assembly did not approve the city's congestion pricing plan last year.
"The introduction of tolls on the 10 Freeway east of downtown Los Angeles and 110 Freeway south of downtown will mark a major departure for roads that generations of Californians have clung to as "freeways," even though toll roads already exist in several parts of the state. Under the pricing schedule, solo motorists will pay 25 cents to $1.40 per mile to travel 14 miles of high-occupancy lanes on the east-west San Bernardino Freeway and 11 miles on the north-south Harbor Freeway.
A solo motorist who wants to use the high-occupancy lanes must enroll in MTA's "ExpressLanes" program and be given a transponder, an electronic device that attaches to windshields and dashboards. When a car uses a toll lane, overhead sensors read the transponder's coding and the motorist is automatically billed."

My drink for tonight is a special brew from Hitachino Nest, Nipponia. This beer was brewed with Japanese ancient barley known as 'Kaneko Golden' and 'Sorachi Ace' hop which was developed in Japan. Both ingredients are mainly from ancient Japan.
I bought 2 of these 650 pesos bottle from Gilmore wines and Spirits last October. I shared one bottle to my budding craft beer lover cousins at the cemetery last November 1. After we finished tasting it, one of my cousin blurted out, "Bawal ang alcoholic drinks dito pag All Saints Day ah?!" Well, it was just tasting and we are responsible drinkers anyway. Shheesh! The good news is that they were amazed with the taste as a beginner, considering we just drank it not as chilled and from a plastic cup.
Since i wasn't able to do my tasting notes back in the cemetery. I am doing it now.
Nipponia is in a 550ml amber bottle. It pours to a golden brown color with a medium white head that easily dissolves. You can easily smell the citrusy aroma of the ale. It has a clean and crisp taste at your first sip then follows a mild bitternes from medium to finish. Very decent and easy to drink pale. ABV is at 6.5%. For me, my score would be 4 of 5. My beer buddy apps scores it at 3.48 out of 5.

The movement against the Keystone XL pipeline has demonstrated some of the radical possibilities of a revitalized environmental movement. Capitalist projects like Keystone bring us closer to the brink of environmental disaster and well-intentioned efforts to reform our exploitative relationship to the world have failed to curb this headlong race towards destruction. It has become clear that a revolutionary approach to solving our ecological crises is necessary. Preserving our world, and our place within it, is going to require overturning the system of capitalism itself.
On Wednesday March 19 the Brooklyn Branch of the ISO will be discussing the case for eco-socialism. Capital's relentless pursuit of growth and unquenchable thirst for natural resources cannot be stemmed by tinkering with our current system. A world in which we meet the needs of all people without consuming our planet in order to satisfy the needs of an exploitative system is possible. Please come and talk with other New Yorkers about how we can make it happen.
Wednesday, March 19

erythromycin (erythromycin) solution
[Stiefel Laboratories, Inc.]
For Dermatologic Use Only
Not for Ophthalmic Use
Erythromycin Pledgets USP, 2% contain erythromycin, USP for topical dermatologic use. Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic produced from a strain of Saccaropolyspora erythraea (formerly Streptomyces erythreus). It is a base and readily forms salts with acids. Chemically, erythromycin is C37H67N013. It has the following structural formula:
The chemical name for erythromycin is (3R*,4S*,5S* ,6R* ,7R* ,9R* ,11R* , 12R* ,13S*, 14R*)-4-[(2,6-Dideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-0-methyl-α-L-ribo-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-14-ethy1-7,12,13-trihydroxy-3,5,7,9,11,13-hexamethyl-6-[[3,4,6-trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-β-D-xylo-hexopyranosyl]oxy] oxacyclotetradecane-2,10-dione.
Erythromycin has the molecular weight of 733.94. It is a white or slightly yellow, crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, in chloroform, and in ether. It is odorless or practically odorless. It has a pH range between 8.0 and 10.5 in a methanol and water solution prepared by diluting 1 volume of a methanol solution, containing 40 mg per mL, with 19 volumes of water.
Each mL of expressible liquid contains 20 mg erythromycin in a base of alcohol (68.5%) (denatured with tert-butyl alcohol and denatonium benzoate), propylene glycol and citric acid to adjust pH. Each pledget is filled to contain 0.8 mL of erythromycin topical solution.
The exact mechanism by which erythromycin reduces lesions of acne vulgaris is not fully known: however, the effect appears to be due in part to the antibacterial activity of the drug.
Erythromycin acts by inhibition of protein synthesis in susceptible organisms by reversibly binding to 50 S ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting translocation of aminoacyl transfer-RNA and inhibiting polypeptide synthesis. Antagonism has been demonstrated in vitro between erythromycin, and lincomycin, chloramphenicol, and clindamycin.
Erythromycin Pledgets are indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.
Erythromycin Pledgets are contraindicated in those individuals who have shown hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including erythromycin, and may range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents.
Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of clostridia. Studies indicate that a toxin produced by Clostridium difficile is one primary cause of "antibiotic-associated colitis". After the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis has been established, therapeutic measures should be initiated. Mild cases of pseudomembranous colitis usually respond to drug discontinuation alone. In moderate to severe cases, consideration should be given to management with fluids and electrolytes, protein supplementation and treatment with an antibacterial drug clinically effective against C. difficile colitis.
For topical use only; not for ophthalmic use. Concomitant topical acne therapy should be used with caution because a possible cumulative irritancy effect may occur, especially with the use of peeling, desquamating, or abrasive agents.
The use of antibiotic agents may be associated with the overgrowth of antibiotic-resistant organisms. If this occurs, discontinue use and take appropriate measures.
Avoid contact with eyes and all mucous membranes.
Patients using Erythromycin Pledgets should receive the following information and instructions:
No animal studies have been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic and mutagenic potential or effects on fertility of topical erythromycin. However, long-term (2-year) oral studies in rats with erythromycin ethylsuccinate and erythromycin base did not provide evidence of tumorigenicity. There was no apparent effect on male or female fertility in rats fed erythromycin (base) at levels up to 0.25% of diet.
There was no evidence of teratogenicity or any other adverse effect on reproduction in female rats fed erythromycin base (up to 0.25% diet) prior to and during mating, during gestation and through weaning of two successive litters.
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used in pregnancy only if clearly needed. Erythromycin has been reported to cross the placental barrier in humans, but fetal plasma levels are generally low.
It is not known whether erythromycin is excreted in human milk after topical application. However, erythromycin is excreted in human milk following oral and parenteral erythromycin administration. Therefore, caution should be exercised when erythromycin is administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness of this product in pediatric patients have not been established.
The following local adverse reactions have been reported occasionally: peeling, dryness, itching, erythema, and oiliness. Irritation of the eyes and tenderness of the skin have also been reported with topical use of erythromycin. Generalized urticarial reactions, possibly related to the use of erythromycin, which required systemic steroid therapy have been reported.
The Erythromycin Pledgets should be rubbed over the affected area twice a day after skin is thoroughly washed with warm water and soap and patted dry. Acne lesions on the face, neck, shoulder, chest, and back may be treated in this manner. Additional pledgets may be used, if needed. Each pledget should be used once and discarded.
Erythromycin Pledgets USP, 2% are available in a box of individually wrapped pledgets in the following size: 60 pledgets - NDC 59366-2838-6
Each pledget is filled to contain 0.8 mL of erythromycin topical solution.
Store at controlled room temperature between 15° and 30°C (59° and 86°F).

Protect the Ahmadiyya ComplexGovernment must rein in the fanatics
We view with deep concern the threat of capture of the Ahmadiyya prayer house in Dhaka. A fanatical religious group couched under the name of Amra Dhakabashi had given out the threat to do so on 28 August.
We apprehend a serious law and order situation as a result of this, more so when the Awami League and several leftist parties have expressed their resolve to thwart the fanatics attempt to take over the Ahmadiyya prayer complex.
The fanatics, who comprise nothing more than a very insignificant fringe element of our society, have been calling upon the government to declare the Ahmadiyyas in Bangladesh a minority community. This matter should have been put to rest after the verdict of the High Court in this regard in 1993 when it rejected a writ seeking the government to declare just that.
The governments pliant attitude towards the fanatics by banning certain publications of the Ahmadiyyas have catalysed these elements into ratcheting up their activities against a minority community. We reject extremism of any form particularly those that seek to use religion for their narrow and parochial ends. We feel that the actions of these religious extremists to be a dubious design to stir unnecessary controversy and create disharmony in the minds of the people, apart from creating bad blood between various religious communities.
It is our fervent desire and earnest hope that by the time we appear on the stands on Friday Aug 27, enough sense will have prevailed upon those that are planning to occupy a minority communitys place of worship, from going ahead with their threat.
Confrontation should be avoided at all cost, particularly at a time when the government is reeling in the aftermath of the attack on Awami League rally.
In this situation it is not the only duty of the government to maintain law and order, it is also its bounden duty to ensure that, what the Constitution grants an individual by way of his personal religious beliefs, no other individual deprives him by force.
We hope the government will ensure both.

LAS VEGAS — Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Friday avoided jail time until June 1 in a Las Vegas domestic violence case involving an attack on his ex-girlfriend while two of their children watched in September 2010.
Mayweather, 34, had been scheduled to turn himself in Friday to begin serving a 90-day sentence imposed last month.
Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa said she weighed Mayweather's contractual obligations to a fight set for May at MGM Grand in Las Vegas against an as-yet unnamed opponent.
Read full article after the jump
"We are pleased that the judge granted postponement of his surrender date so he could fulfill his commitment to Las Vegas to deliver his promised megafight and the economic benefits it provides to the community," Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisers, said in a statement to ESPN.com.
Mayweather's lawyer Richard Wright had pleaded with the judge to allow Mayweather to meet the fight commitments, emphasizing the monetary windfall to Las Vegas from Mayweather's fights.
Mayweather pleaded guilty Dec. 21 to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges.
The plea deal saw prosecutors drop felony and misdemeanor charges that could have gotten Mayweather 34 years in prison.
Authorities say the case stems from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with Josie Harris, the mother of three of Mayweather's children, and threats to beat their sons in an argument about Harris dating another man. Harris, now 31, lives in the Los Angeles area with the couple's sons, now 12 and 10, and a daughter, age 8.
Mayweather has earned upward of $20 million for his most recent fights against Victor Ortiz, which won him the WBC welterweight belt, and Shane Mosley.
Mayweather is generally recognized as one of the two best boxers in the world, sharing that spotlight with Manny Pacquiao.
Jail time was expected to limit training for a possible Cinco de Mayo date for a fight in Las Vegas, where Mayweather's management reserved a May 5 date at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for a possible fight.

Horror Comic Roundup - 7/30/13
Horror Comic Roundup Image drawn by Travis Wayne Pursell, colors by Decapitated Dan
Welcome to the Horror Comic Roundup! Join Decapitated Dan, Billy Dunleavy and friends each week as they review new and old Horror Comics that you will either be dying to read or terrified to check out!
Army of Darkness vs. Hack Slash #1 (Dynamite)
Decapitated Dan: Well, that was different. I think I know the bare minimum about Hack Slash, but I think I know enough to pick up a #1 which is a crossover. Then I say to myself, that I think I know enough about Army of Darkness, but really only the movie, the comics didn't do too much for me. So going into this I was hoping to be entertained, I figured there would be some good humor involved, and this would just be a fun read. I didn't get that though. I was bored from the start, and I thought the jokes were not funny. The artwork I did enjoy, I really do like Liester's work. Overall I did not expect too much from this, but I wanted to give it a try. I walk away from it just knowing it's not for me. I think fans of both comic series will enjoy it though. - Dying Breath 2.5 out of 5.0
Arsenic Lullaby: The Big Stall (A.L. Publishing)
Decapitated Dan: Dear Reader, when you get to the end of this review, do yourself a favor and go buy this book. If you like funny comics, that will make you laugh out loud, this is the book for you. If you like books where it shows so much thought and consideration for writing and art went into them, this is the book for you. Paszkiewicz delivers so perfectly on every level of this book. So lets just focus on the horror elements. This book has Aliens, Yetis, Satan and the big star of the book, Cthulhu! Sure the Cthulhu parts are the best, but that didn't stop every other page from blowing my mind. I know if I keep going on and on about how funny this book is, and how great the artwork is, it will get annoying. So lets simplify and just say this... BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT! - Dying Breath 5.0 out of 5.0
Cromwell Green #1 (Melted Wax Publishing)
Decapitated Dan: Now this here is a really fun book that I thought mixed elements of Horror, Scott Pilgrim, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale Lore. WHOA thats a crapload or material. This is a GORE-Geous book, I loved the designs on the Leper-Cons, yeah you read that right. The look really had the feel of some of the 90's Slave Labor books like Squee, Johnny, etc. The story is a ton of fun, but I could also tell that this was a #1, because of a few plot jumps here and there. But that is something all creators get better at as things move forward. My big highlight from this issue was defiantly when the history of the Leper-Cons was told. The design of those pages mixed with the lettering, was perfection. Overall this is a solid start, and something I will be buying for years to come. - Dying Breath 4.0 out of 5.0
Crossed Badlands #33 (Avatar)
Decapitated Dan: Well the really great story arc is over, so does that mean I am doing reading Crossed again? Nope! Lapham is back on this story arc and it is off to a great start. I do have a feeling that this is continuing on from an arc I did not read, but there was enough history retold that I was able to catch on. Again a new concept on the Crossed is presented and I love it. The concept that this particular group is religious and kills the sinners is funny. I'm not really in love with the artwork of Ruiz, it gets the job done. This is a good start to this next arc. I am really happy to be reading Crossed again. - Dying Breath 4.0 out of 5.0
The Crow: Curare #1 (IDW)
Decapitated Dan: Wow, I am so impressed with the way this story is being presented by both the visuals and the story. I really do think this one is safe to pick up and read if you missed #1, but you really should go back and read it. The story can easily be uncomfortable, but it's making for a great overall read. The artwork by Dodé is just GORE-Geous. The way he tells the story with his artwork is what is really amping this book up for me. I loved the opening scene where the cop is beating on the man in the car. But the best image in the whole book came down to a sad stuffed animal sitting on a swing. That just nails the loss that you as a reader need to relate to a Crow story. I am loving this book, and I think it's just as simple as me saying if you read it to you will know why. - Dying Breath 4.5 out of 5.0
Dark Shadows: Year One #4 (Dynamite)
Billy Dunleavy: In this issue we see MIllicent, and her new husband, Nathan Forbes. He's only married her for her money, but gets a rude awakening when he finds out that she's willed all of her wealth to her cousin. This doesn't sit well with Forbes, but he's got an ace up his sleeve. Meanwhile, we see an innocent girl, burned at the stake by a holy man that is more interested in gaining the peoples favor than doing the right thing. Its OK though, because he'll pay the ultimate price for his misdeeds, Barnabas will see to that for sure! Overall it was a good issue as far as story art, and pacing, but it lacked a "big" moment to really shock you. Forbes seeing Barnabas was cool, but eventually a few people will find out about him still being alive, so it took some wind out of the sails on that moment. Rating 4/5
Stitched #15 (Avatar)
Decapitated Dan: You want to talk about some creepy stuff happening in a comic, then look no further than this issue. While most of the issue is just build on how a man control the stitched, when it all goes down I was cringing. I don't like it when you mess with the eyes, and this issue had me reading it with my hands covering my line of sight. The story is solid, and the artwork is perfect. I do like where this arc is going more, then the first few issues of the series that I read, but that being said, I did miss out on a lot of story in between. I am loving this book right now, and I will be going back to get caught up. And for the love of all things horror, leave the eyes alone! - Dying Breath 4.5 out of 5.0
Thumbprint #2 (IDW)
Billy Dunleavy: A bloody thumbprint, a seedy diner, an a soldier with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are all this story needs to keep you coming back. Mallory, the lead character, who is a veteran of the military, served in desert combat overseas. She's taken that training, and applied it to everyday life. The only problem is that someone, in the shadows, in messing with her head. At first she thinks it might be a local scumbag, but she realizes he isn't smart enough for this kind of thing. So that leaves her wondering if this might be from an ordeal that happened years ago in the desert. A flashback scene in the middle of this book is outstanding, and really lends some weight to the book. We get to see either who is messing with Mallory or just a red herring. Either way, it was a fantastic issue that has an incredibly strong story and more than serviceable artwork. Rating 4.5/5

|Brief Summary
|The primary purpose of this study is to see if a herpes vaccine may prevent genital herpes disease in women who are not infected. The study will enroll approximately 7550 healthy women. These women will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible study groups: herpes vaccine (experimental group) or hepatitis A vaccine (control group). Participants will receive their assigned vaccine at 0, 1, and 6 months. Participants will have 9 scheduled study visits and additional unscheduled visits for an evaluation of herpes if it is suspected. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 20 months.
|Detailed Description
|This study is a double-blind, randomized, controlled Phase III trial to assess the prophylactic efficacy and safety of gD-Alum/MPL vaccine in the prevention of genital herpes disease in young women who are herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 and -2 seronegative. The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate vaccine efficacy in the prevention of genital herpes disease caused by HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 between months 2 and 20 in healthy adult women who were initially HSV-1 and HSV-2 seronegative. The secondary efficacy objectives are to: evaluate vaccine efficacy in the prevention of genital herpes disease caused by HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 occurring between the months 7 and 20; evaluate vaccine efficacy in the prevention of HSV-2 infection between months 2 and 20; and to evaluate vaccine efficacy in the prevention of HSV-2 infection occurring between months 7 and 20. The study will enroll approximately 7,550 women, ages 18-30 years. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 possible study groups: candidate vaccine; or control vaccine (hepatitis A vaccine). The study duration for each subject will be approximately 20 months. Study procedures will include 9 scheduled study visits (including the screening visit) and additional unscheduled visits for evaluation of suspected herpes disease episodes. Three doses of vaccine or control will be administered intramuscularly in the non-dominant deltoid on a 0, 1, and 6 month schedule. Subjects will attend clinic visits at screening, months 2, 7, 12, 16, and 20. In subjects who present with suspected herpes disease between months 17 and 20, an additional visit to collect a serum sample will be scheduled 3 months after the evaluation for suspected genital herpes.

The laws of nature and the universe neither divide anything, nor do they make a distinction between anything. They are unconditional. It is our thoughts that divide, categorize, and condition everything..
One day, the Storm and the Sun agree to make a bet. The Storm says to the Sun, "I'll blow so strongly that I'll force the coat off that man." The Sun merely smiles on hearing this. The Storm then starts to blow and roar, but the stronger he blows, the tighter the man holds onto his coat. After the Storm gives up, the Sun shows its face. The air gets gradually warmer, and as it gets hotter, the man stops clinging tightly to his coat and takes it off instead.
In this story, is the Sun acting with love? Or is the Storm acting with anger? Of course not, because both the Sun and the Storm are simply acting according to their natures. Similarly, the man acts in line with his needs.
One Zen master says, "To love is to be brave enough to make yourself cry today if it will make you smile tomorrow."
The word "love" is defined as an emotion that makes someone show a close interest in, and commitment to, someone or something. For instance, when we look at a flower, we like it so much that we want to pick it without hesitation. Similarly, we may want to adopt a cat because we like it so much. With our instinct to reproduce, which we call "love," we may want to have a child. We could give many examples of this.
Well, could these thoughts, which we call "love," be our virtual reality?
Could "love" be describing the satisfaction of our own needs and demands? On the other hand, could "hatred" be the emotion we experience when our needs and demands are not satisfied?
Love is a conditioned state produced and rooted on a social scale. It is an illusion created in people's minds by emotions. This illusion, which is believed to take us toward goodness and kindness, is one of the most significant social mistakes, because there is no division in nature between love and hatred. Everything is as it should be.
This emotion, which we are taught to think of as "love," is based on our senses, and it prevents us from improving, developing, and maturing. Love makes us dependent on others around us, so it creates a state of expectation that destroys us through this dependency. We keep on being satisfied by the expectations we have from spouses, children, lovers, women, men, friends, relatives, and so on. However, we don't even think about questioning whether we love ourselves. So then, let's ask these questions to ourselves now:
- Do we love ourselves?
- Can we look at ourselves from the outside in the way we should?
We are in a relationship and in touch with ourselves, our surroundings, nature, and matter. A man who cannot communicate with himself is unable to develop a relationship with anyone or anything. The relationship he presumes to develop under these conditions will be an external one. For a man unable to connect with his inner world, being superficial is inevitable. Therefore, a man unaware of his own soul and essence, and therefore unable to make use of them, will beg for fulfillment of his expectations, which he calls "love," because he is incapable of discovering the treasure within himself.
If a mother tells her child that he will not be loved if he misbehaves, the child will grow up in fear of losing that love. The mother carrying her child's school bag may say she is doing it for his good. Everyone, young or old, asks their beloved every minute whether or not they love them and how much. Neighbors, friends, and companions always talk about love. Love is considered the source of all beauty. If to love and be loved is that important, if it makes us happy and peaceful, why do we still live in a loveless and unhappy world? Why does love run away from us as we chase it?
Does "to love" mean to give or take? Or is it our sense of possession in a different form?
A mother embraces her children for the sake of her love. She tries to help her children with every difficulty they face, but these children could never be happy with this love. Even if a man and a woman questioned their mutual love, this love wouldn't be satisfactory for them. Even if someone says he loves his country, it doesn't solve his financial difficulties. The food and drinks we love can be bad for us and even cause premature death.
The conditioning that love will solve everything is a huge illusion. Tolerance and goodwill are in fact nothing but ways of postponing the inevitable. In reality, no one has tolerated anything. One last drop falling on what you have already accumulated will turn this love into an intense hatred.
What we call "love" is mostly nothing but the expectations of our selfish thoughts.
The word "love," which has been imposed on us, has damaged honesty and been used as a way to threaten and blackmail others. It has sometimes shaken us, and in some cases, it has resulted in hatred and destruction.
Love and hatred are like the positive and negative poles of a magnet. Whether you call it love or hatred, it all comes from the same magnet.
We should keep in mind that hatred waits besides us when we see ourselves in love, and we will certainly experience the opposite when we try to stick to just one side. If we can associate these two with each other, it will take us to a new level of understanding and comprehension. This point will be neither love nor hatred—it will be itself, just as it's supposed to be, and it will be called "Universal Love."

AUGUSTA, Maine — One of the two northbound lanes of Interstate 295 from Richmond to Gardiner is being shut down as part of a repaving project that's scheduled to continue through much of the summer.
The Maine Department of Transportation says the lane closing, which takes effect Thursday, is likely to cause congestion for commuters. Drivers are encouraged to consider alternate routes.
The Kennebec Journal said the lane closure will continue through May as crews remove pavement in advance of resurfacing the highway.
Both northbound lanes from Topsham to Gardiner are slated to close June 15. At that point, northbound traffic will be rerouted to the southbound lanes and southbound drivers can take either U.S. 201 or the Maine Turnpike.

First published on November 2011.
I don't think many people in the cultural sector expected the newly-formed Creative & Cultural Skills to make apprenticeships a key skills priority in 2006. Employers weren't crying out for them; most said that they'd like to have apprenticeships for graduates rather than engage with younger people. However, as we survey the scene today, there are around 900 level 2 and 3 (roughly equivalent to A-level standard) apprentices in the sector from a standing start of zero in 2008. We've made a start but there are a lot of lessons here about achieving cultural change for a new, fast-growing sector when the education systems have been established for many years and move very slowly.
It may not be known to some people, but apprenticeships have been at the heart of some of the most established areas of the creative industries for hundreds of years. The Goldsmiths' Company, for example, has been running indentured apprenticeships since 1334. These five-year programmes place an apprentice with a 'Master' and conclude with the production by the apprentice of a 'Masterpiece'.
In its more modern conception, an apprentice works four days per week as an employee learning 'on the job' and attends a local further education college one day per week for structured learning. This is a straightforward approach, but I have since learnt of the challenges of applying this model of learning to the creative and cultural industries.
The setup phase for creating the capacity for apprenticeships in the creative sector has been arduous and painstakingly bureaucratic. Money for apprentices goes directly to training providers, so first off we had to recruit some colleges to our cause. Further to this, though, colleges can only access apprenticeship funding through a relevant awarding body offering the apprenticeship. However, awarding bodies need to create apprenticeship frameworks, built on National Occupational Standards (of which none existed for the sector). To create a framework from scratch takes at least ten months and is particularly difficult when awarding bodies are sometimes hesitant over the business case of developing new qualifications in an untried area.
Added to this complicated process is the sheer number of areas where an apprenticeship could be developed. Since 2008, we've established around 14 compliant frameworks in design, community arts, costume and wardrobe, live events and promotion, the music business, cultural and heritage venue operations, jewellery and silversmithing. But behind all these areas there are very specific job titles. In jewellery, for example, there's a gem setter, a polisher and finisher, a diamond mounter and silver spinner – to name a few. To date, we've mostly created level two and three frameworks. However, it is vital to ensure that the higher level apprenticeships are created for young people to move on to the next level of their learning.
Creating the capability for an employer to take on an apprentice is just one side of the problem. When people think of apprenticeships, they think of large companies – BT and Rolls-Royce are often-cited examples of this. In the creative industries, though, challenges which would never occur to these larger firms are myriad. Firstly, businesses in the creative industries are usually tiny. With such a large number of firms employing fewer than five people, the ability to take on apprentices becomes a burden on the employer.
Secondly, the nature of their work is often more erratic than that of a large employer. Portfolio working, seasonal productions and contract-based work all mean that there are few guarantees that apprentices will have steady work. To address this, we've set up an Apprenticeship Training Service to employ apprentices on behalf of employers and where we can we let employers share apprentices to fit in with their work patterns.
Despite bureaucratic and systemic challenges to our progress, apprenticeship development has led to change. Already we're seeing a major cultural shift. Our sector has tended to recruit from highly-qualified graduates willing to take on long-term free internships. This has meant that we've limited our entry level jobs to a very particular group of candidates; no wonder our sector fails to reflect the social and ethnic mix in the country. Put baldly, we're missing out on a lot of untapped talent; apprenticeships are making a difference. Secondly, not all the entry level jobs are graduate jobs. Graduates use entry level jobs to get a toehold in the sector but often move on very quickly, leaving small businesses recruiting every few months and not getting the continuity or long-term commitment they need. Furthermore, certain jobs need real vocational skills, particularly in areas like technical theatre, and therefore the apprenticeship route is genuinely more relevant.
Recent research shows that employers are genuinely impressed with their apprentices and see the initiative as making a real difference in the sector. It hasn't been easy to get this programme going but it feels like it's worth it.

After the recent WannaCry attack across the UK NHS and other global organizations, a lot of small businesses are wondering what they need to know about the latest cyberattack to protect their interests. Cyberattacks aren?t a new trend, but ransomware may be a new word for a lot of people not in cybersecurity circles – and it should keep business owners on their toes.
What is WannaCry?
WannaCry is the latest iteration of popular ransomware attacks. This attack is currently making its rounds on the internet, already affecting over 200,000 computers across the globe by mid-May.
WannaCry is a type of ransomware, which is a little different from traditional malware viruses in the way it affects users. While a lot of traditional malware viruses may be used to bog down machines or obtain information, ransomware works by getting an unsuspecting user to download and open the program, which will then encrypt the entire hard drive of a computer. In order for a user to obtain access to their information again, they must pay the hacker a fee, usually in bitcoin, or watch their machine become a very expensive paperweight.
Can it be stopped?
For a time, yes. Cybersecurity researchers found a ?kill switch? that would stop the attack, but hackers realized their mistake. Now the kill switch has been fixed, however, stopping WannaCry is a bit more difficult.
Once a machine is encrypted by WannaCry, accessing the information without paying the hacker is nearly impossible. Paying the fee isn?t a guarantee either since hackers don?t have to return your system – which is the problem when dealing with thieves. Once a machine is overtaken and encrypted by WannaCry, your choices are slim – trust the hacker and pay them what they want, or buy a new machine.
Preventing WannaCry
The only option to fight ransomware like WannaCry is to be ready with a good defense to make sure the virus never makes it onto your machines. The ransomware was able to take hold of outdated security flaws in Windows XP, which can be easily prevented if computers are kept up to date with the latest security patches.
Proper cybersecurity best practices to avoid cybersecurity negligence are vital too. These practices should be taught across your organization to all levels of employees to ensure they don?t accidentally download any suspicious links.
Finally, working with a trusted IT expert can help you take steps to avoid future cybersecurity disasters through proper training and cybersecurity diligence. WannaCry is just the latest cyber-attack to make the news. The best way to be prepared for the attack of tomorrow is to be working alongside a trusted IT partner who will know how to keep your organization safe and up-to-date.
