Approach Navigation Systems Inc. has installed and maintains a network of approximately one hundred (100) Road Weather Information Systems across Canada and has accumulated widespread knowledge of various communication systems. These stations provide real time weather and pavement conditions to government agencies tasked with maintaining safe highways.
Road weather information systems (RWIS) provide detailed roadside weather conditions and road surface temperature data. A complete RWIS combines the roadside readings with standard meteorological data to provide precision road weather forecasts and pavement condition predictions.
The most visible RWIS component is the roadside ESS. The typical ESS installation includes a short tower, mounting an array of meteorological sensors coupled with a selection of road surface sensors. Processors collect and analyze sensor data transmitting the information to a CPU or server. The CPU compiles data from all remote sites to provide road managers with a picture of actual weather and road conditions on an entire highway network.
Illuminators provide class leading performance, long life and zero maintenance. They incorporate the very latest surface mount LED's to deliver excellent night-time pictures with improved optical output and outstanding reliability.
Road Surface State Sensor Guardian
Road Surface State Sensor is a non-invasive Road Weather Information System (RWIS) also known as a Remote Road Surface Sensor. One of the main attractions of the Guardian is the unique ability of its sensors to report on road friction or grip. Grip is an excellent metric to gauge safety of roads and proactively determine the need for and effectiveness of your winter maintenance actions.
Conventional RWIS systems require traffic or lane closures and slot-cutting the surface of the road. The Guardian features a simple, "do it yourself" installation, ease of use and virtually maintenance-free operation without the hassle of an in-pavement sensor. Installation can be as simple as strapping it onto existing structures such as lighting poles, traffic signals and buildings. Once mounted, hook up the power and flip the switch to begin transmitting data.

Some of you may have heard my present at Dog Food Conference in September 2014. I'd like to first say thank you to the organizers of Dog Food Conference, for having me out to speak. I'd especially like to thank Ryan Dennis from Blue Chip Consulting LLC, who contacted me on Twitter and invited me to submit sessions for the conference. You can follow Ryan on Twitter at @SharePointRyan, or visit his website at SharePointRyan.com.
At Dog Food Conference, I presented two different sessions.
- Microsoft Windows PowerShell OneGet, PSGet, and Desired State Configuration (DSC) – September 29th, 2014 @ 1:00 PM Eastern
- Automating Microsoft Azure IaaS Using PowerShell – September 30th, 2014 @ 1:00 PM Eastern
To those of you who attended these sessions, thank you. By my rough estimate, I reached approximately 70 people in total, between both sessions, and both were well received by the members of the audience. My goal through these presentations is to bring new light to the Microsoft Azure and PowerShell platforms, and help people to utilize these technologies to their advantage. If you received any new insight, or the presentations spawned off any new ideas, I would love to hear what those are.
The Microsoft Office PowerPoint documents for my presentations are attached to this post. Please download them from the links below, and be sure to review the notes in the PowerPoint slides.

I was poking around in some of our Annual Reports from the Board of Park Commissioners for Cleveland Metroparks, and as I figured, some interesting tidbits popped out to help me understand more about Cleveland Metroparks and its past.
Of particular interest in the Board's policy regarding construction during tough times for our country. This is something not seen by most casual guests to the reservations or Zoo. And I know that even today, this is the case. The brevity of this blog simply reflects the description found in the "Report of the Park Commissioners of the Cleveland Metropolitan Park District 1950-1951."
"In submitting this biennial report…the Board of Park regrets that it does not show as much progressive development towards the completion of the park system which it had hoped it would…
From the start of the trouble in Korea and the extension of our national defense program, prices have risen steadily and the demands of private industry have practically exhausted the supply of both labor and construction material.
It has been the policy of the Park Board over the years to postpone the doing of unnecessary construction when private industry is making heavy demands for both labor and material. When local governments enter such a market to build improvements which properly can be deferred to more normal times, it tends to further increase prices and to lower purchasing value of the dollar.
It was through the adoption of this policy during the flush 1920s that the Board was able to make the great progress it did. In the 1930s, when in cooperation with the many federal agencies, it secured for the park district values far exceeding the local tax dollars expended.
The result of this policy also made a small contribution to the economic well being of the country. Such a policy, if adopted generally, would tend to flatten peaks and fill the hollows in our economic cycles."
Interesting how a little poking around helps me better understand the thoughts and actions of the past Board. Not that everything stopped completely, but I can appreciate their concern for the greater good of our country. Thank you, Director Stinchcomb and Board Members for thinking beyond yourself...and for acting on the betterment of our future.

9 Rob Rockitt's Top 20 Best Hard Rock & Metal CD's of 2011
Every year putting together a top 10 list becomes harder and harder. There were so many outstanding releases in 2011, there were far too many to do a top 10 list. Below are my top 20 Hard Rock & Metal Releases of 2011. Agree or disagree? Let us know what you think!
20. The Poodles – Performocracy
Can anyone take a band seriously with the name, The Poodles? Maybe, not, but the band's latest album Performocracy
is cram packed with excellent hard & melodic rock tunes that you should take notice of.
19. Five Finger Death Punch – American Capitalist
Five Finger Death Punch may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this heavy metal band has been putting out some of the best
new music from a newer metal band. Their third effort American Capitalist does not disappoint in the least.
18. Anvil – Juggernaut of Justice
Anvil's Juggernaut of Justice came as somewhat of a surprise to me. I never expect to enjoy an Anvil CD so much, and JOJ is easily
one of Anvil's best releases yet.
17. Chickenfoot – III
Sammy Hagar & company turned in another outstanding CD with their sophomore effort III. This CD is much better than the band's debut.
16. Alex Beyrodt's Voodoo Circle – Broken Heart Syndrome
Sinner/Primal Fear/Voodoo Circle guitarist Alex Beyrodt has released a killer CD with classic influences that include
Whitesnake & Rainbow. Every hard rock fan needs to give Broken Heart Syndrome a listen.
15. King Kobra – S/T
For King Kobra to come in at position 15 tells you just how good the music is in front of it. King Kobra's reunion
effort, with Paul Shortino on vocals, is easily one of the best in King Kobra's catalog.
14. Emphatic – Damage
I am not a huge modern rock fan, but every year there are some outstanding releases that deserve attention. Emphatic
simply outdid their Peers (Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Pop Evil) with their debut effort Damage.
13. Tora Tora – Revolution Day
It seems like every year a long-lost CD that was buried due to record company politics, finally gets a proper release.
Tora Tora's third CD Revolution Day was released by FNA Records, and carries on the excellent bluesy hard rock
that Tora Tora is known for.
12. Coldspell – Out From the Cold
Coldspell has already released two outstanding CD's with Infinite Stargaze & Out From The Cold. I can't wait to hear
the next set of tunes from Coldspell. Out From The Cold should not be missed.
11. Havok – Time is Up
Havok is one of the new bands leading the Retro-Thrash Metal movement. Time is Up is their second effort and easily their
best. If you are a thrash metal fan, you need to seek out Time is Up now!
10. Michael Monroe – Sensory Overdrive
I have been a Michael Monroe fan forever but I never expected one of his solo CD's to be THIS good. Sensory Overdrive is easily
the best Michael Monroe CD since 1989's Not Fakin It.
09. Warrant – Rockaholic
Warrant's Rockaholic is easily my favorite Warrant CD since the band's 1992 effort, Dog Eat Dog. The late Jani Lane will always
be missed, but Robert Mason is an outstanding singer, and he may be the best vocalist Warrant has ever had. Rockaholic will
make people take notice of Warrant again.
08. Sixx A.M. – This is Gonna Hurt
With the recent news from the Motley Crue camp as of late, it sounds like a farewell tour may be coming from the band soon. If this
is truly the case, Nikki Sixx can carry on his band Sixx A.M. This is Gonna Hurt took a while to grow on me, but it has become a favorite of mine
over the last few months.
07. Black Country Communion – 2
Out of all of the supergroups, Black Country Communion outdid them all with their second effort 2. 60-year-old Glenn Hughes could (and probably
should) give a clinic to young rockers, on how to rock. He is still getting it done.
06. Anthrax – Worship Music
You would think that Joey Belladonna returning to Antrax would be create a major amount of excitement, and it has. Belladonna's vocals are
not the high point of Worship Music. This is easily Anthrax's best CD from a musical standpoint, and the best thrash metal CD of 2011.
05. Whitesnake – Forevermore
If Doug Aldrich & Reb Beach keep helping David Coverdale put out CD's like Good To Be Band and Forevermore, folks may forget about the
band's monster hits from the 80's. Forevermore is another outstanding effort from the Whitesnake camp.
04. Mr. Big – What If…
Mr. Big's reunion CD What If is the band's best CD since 1993's Bump Ahead. You SHOULD NOT miss What If…!
03. Alice Cooper – Welcome 2 My Nightmare
Alice Cooper's reunion with producer Bob Ezrin was a very good one. Welcome 2 My Nightmare is an outstanding sequel that should not be missed.
02. Vain – Enough Rope
I can not say enough good things about Vain's latest CD, Enough Rope.If you liked Vain's debut, No Regrets, you need to seek out the band's latest
effort Enough Rope. It is quality all the way through, and easily to my ears one of 2011's best.
01. Electric Boys – And Them Boys Done Swang
I never would have thought The Electric Boys could have outdone their debut, but with And Them Boys Done Swang, they have done just that.
Sure, some of the lyrics are somewhat cheesy, but the band has every bit of the Funk that was found in their debut.
The Japanese edition has some excellent bonus tracks which pushes this one over the top.
Honorable Mentions:
Rival Sons – Pressure & Time
Black Stone Cherry – Between the Devil & The Deep Blue Sea
Megadeth – Th1rt3en
Badmouth – Heavy Metal Parking Lot
Motorhead – The World is Yours
Riot – Immortal Soul
House of Lords – Big Money
The Answer – Revival
Pop Evil – War of Angels
Beggars & Thieves – We Are The Broken Hearted
George Lynch – Kill All Control
Michael Schenker – Temple of Rock

0 New Video – Electric Boys – Angels in An Armoured Suit
The Electric Boys new CD, And Them Boys Done Swang, has been at the top of my play list for several weeks now. If you haven't checked out their new CD, you ought to give it a look. It is better than their classic debut, Funk O Metal Carpet Ride in my opinion. Check out the band's new clip for the song, "Angels in An Armoured Suit" below!
10 Electric Boys – And Them Boys Done Swang (2011)
After a fifteen year absence, The Electric Boys reunited, and have delivered their fourth album, And Them Boys Done Swang.
The band mates of Electric Boys didn't exactly disappear during the bands hiatus. Connie Bloom and Andy Christell have been playing in Hanoi Rocks, and released a great album, Street Poetry in 2007.
So how does And Them Boys Done Swang stack up? In my opinion, I believe the band has cranked out their best album since their classic debut, Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride.
And Them Boys Done Swang sees the Electric Boys return to their funky roots. The music on this CD is a mix of funky glam rock, 70's psychedelia and classic hard rock. The majority of the songs are positively upbeat, fresh and highly listenable. This is definitely one of the more interesting albums I have heard in 2011.
Some of the highlights includes the rockin' opening cut "Reeferlord", the infectious "Father Popcorn's Magic Oysters" (see video below), the Beatles-like "Ten Thousand Times Goodbye", the silly yet fun "The House is Rockin" and the super funky "Sometimes U Gotta Go Look For the Car".
And Them Boys Done Swang is one of the surprise albums of 2011. This is a highly entertaining album, and a disc worth checking out. Don't miss this!

1 New Video – Electric Boys – Father Popcorn´s Magic Oysters
I have to admit that when I first read the title of the Electric Boys new single, "Father Popcorn´s Magic Oysters", I kind of wondered what the band was smoking. The song itself is pretty cool, but I will let you decide for yourself. This song is from the up and coming album, Them Boys Done Swang due out April 6th!
Check it out!
1 The Return of the Electric Boys!
After the break up of Hanoi Rocks, The Electric Boys have reunited, and are releasing a greatest hits CD this summer. Check out their videos below!
3 Hanoi Rocks – Street Poetry (2007)
Hanoi Rocks is no stranger to the glam scene. This band has been rocking off and on since the late 70's.
I didn't have a whole lot of expectations for this record to be honest. I have always liked Hanoi Rocks fairly well, but it has been a while since I listened to them with the exception of a song or two.
Once I found out that Electric Boys alumni Conny Bloom and Andy Christell were in this band, I immediately wanted to check out the new album. The Electric Boys are a late 80's glam band that I thought were extremely under rated, and I knew the addition of Conny and Andy would greatly enhance Hanoi's sound.
I must say that Street Poetry is a pleasant surprise. This record has more in common with 70's glam than anything from the 80's, but that is ok. The songs sound fresh, and most importantly, they rock!
There are plenty of tunes worth talking about here, and there isn't a stinker in the bunch. My favorites so far are This One's For Rock 'n' Roll, Tootin' Star, Street Poetry, Fashion and Powertrip. Each and everytime I play this record, I feel the need to play it again. This is a very positive and upbeat feel good type of record.
Street Poetry is without a doubt one of the strongest records of 2007. If you have ever been a fan of Hanoi Rocks before, you need to get this. If you haven't ever checked them out before, give the tunes on the band's myspace page a whirl. I guarantee you will want a copy of Street Poetry for yourself afterwards.
Track Listing:
1. Hypermobile
2. Street Poetry
3. Fashion
4. Highwired
5. Power of Persuasion
6. Teenage Revolution
7. Worth Your Weight in Gold
8. Transcendental Groove
9. This One's for Rock'n'roll
10. Powertrip
11. Walkin' Away
12. Tootin' Star
13. Fumblefoot and Busy Bee
Hanoi Rocks is:
Michael Monroe – Vocals
Andy McCoy – Guitars
Conny Bloom – Guitars
Andy Christell – Bass
Lacu – Drums

There are many different makes of sandals on sale today, offering diverse practicality, shades and styles. You may want to pick a pair that is practical, meaning that looking after your feet needs to come before style.
The professionals advise that the sole of the sandal has to be one that is a little bit larger than your foot. Try to keep out of sandals with inelastic soles 'cause they will potentially lead to a pain with the lapse of time. Sandal soles must therewith be thick. These soles ensure much needed support.
When buying a sandal, it would be better for you to pick those that have straps that fit with safety onto your foot. Adjustable straps are a practical function to have on sandals, and not a rubbery strap that can possibly stretch out over time.
The perfect sandal for you is the design that submits proper amount of support. Practicality and maintaining foot care are the fundamental aspects to account for. Take particular care to the arch of the foot since it is the part of the body that helps to maintain your balance, as well as gives an opportunity for you to walk rightly. It is recommended to pick out sandals that offer sufficient arch support.
Shopping for the ideal sandals for your feet is as easy as picking out tight soles, controllable straps, substantial arch support, and certainly as much comfort as possible.
You can use online search in Bing or Yahoo or Google to find naturalizer sandals and anything else you need. Learn more about sandals on this page.

The Canon PowerShot G11 offers excellent photograph quality and options for a compact camera, and the downshift from the old PowerShot G10's 14-megapixel sensor to a 10-megapixel one has paid dividends. But it remains a fat, heavy and expensive compact that's not without its flaws, including sluggish responses and an awkward main controller.

I love beauty subscription boxes. I do. The surprise of new makeup every month is amazing, along with discovering brands I've never heard of and trying shades I'd be too scared to try on my own.
This month's September Boxycharm was an awesome combo of all of these things. A TRIFECTA. I like that Boxycharm also pulls together a theme for every month. It makes the box feel nice and cohesive. It's the makeup box version of having a friend that throws the best themed parties. The friend who throws your other friend a beautiful baby shower that is SO beautiful and classy that you catch yourself nodding in amazement while you murmur "fresh roses as a table runner, I never would have thought of that."
Boxycharm is $21 a month, including shipping and each box has 5 full sized products. September's theme was "Fashion Week Fabulous" and my box focused on smokey eyes and nude lips and fingers. Each box had a different shade of nail polish and lip gloss. My box included:
1. Tarte Lipsurgence lip gloss in Exposed, normal retail $19. A beautiful rosy nude, the perfect all natural, my-lips-but-better color. Tarte is a company that uses a lot of all-natural and vegan ingredients in their cosmetics. The only downside is that this lip gloss is slightly sticky, but it is also very hydrating. I'm totally, totally in love with this color. www.TarteCosmetics.com
2. Hello Perfume by Harvey Prince, normal retail $30. I'm not good at describing scents, let's just get that out there. But this perfume smells to me like the adult version of summer. A little musky, but light. I love it. I've been wearing it almost every day.
3. Tarina Tarantino mascara, normal retail $19. This is my second product from this line and I'm super impressed once again. This mascara makes your lashes look full at the base, and long and wispy on the ends. Absolute perfection. The smell is a teeny bit off, but I can deal with it because I'm obsessed with how it makes my lashes look. It's so perfect. Now I want to try the full Tarina Tarantino line, I'm loving their products!! This is why I love subscription boxes, I probably wouldn't have tried this line before and now I'm truly in love with two products, the mascara and the conditioning lip sheen from last month's box.
4. Coastal Scents Go Palette eyeshadow palette in Bejing, normal retail $12.95. I am loving all the pretty plums, purples, and peach shades in this palette. So pretty for a redhead and a nice range of shades. These are actually decently pigmented and lasted all day with a primer. The retail price on this is only $12.95 normally, so this is a great deal!
5. NCLA nail lacquer in Catwalk Queen, normal retail $16. 5 toxin free, yay! This is a gorgeous opaque nude shade. It applies smoothly but does chip quickly on me, as all opaque shades do. I love that NCLA doesn't have the really gross chemical junk in their polishes and has such a pretty range of colors. I want to try it on my toes next to see if I can get it to chip longer. Seriously, what am I doing with my hands that makes my nails chip so fast?? You would think my whole job is running my hands back and forth in the dirt all day.
And now, pics, pics, pics!
Thank you for reading! Any favorite products or brands you've discovered from a subscription box? I'd love to know, comment below. Follow @girlgetglamorous on Instagram and see you beauties in the next post!
Go Get Glam!

Fifteen years of BBC Online
This week marks an important anniversary for the BBC, online. Fifteen years ago bbc.co.uk first went live to the public and BBC Online was born.
I'm Ralph Rivera the Director of Future Media at the BBC and I wanted to look back at history of the BBC's websites and tell you a bit more about what this anniversary means to us.
Innovation is at the heart of the BBC and has been since its inception. From when the BBC opened its first radio station in 1922 and launched the world's first regular television service in 1936 few could have imagined just what impact broadcasting would make on our everyday lives.
Whether it's stereo FM, the BBC online, digital TV, HDTV, or 3DTV innovation has driven the BBC from the start. A few of my colleagues and I tried to sum up how we feel about innovation here at the BBC in the following video.
Innovation at the BBC
Just as radio and TV did before it, the digital revolution has fundamentally changed how our audiences access news, information and programmes.
As one of the first major organisations in the UK to embrace the web the birth of the BBC's websites 15 years ago is an important milestone in that evolution.
Our first web pages were developed from 1994 onwards as chronologued by Brandon Butterworth , but it wasn't until December 1997 that bbc.co.uk was officially launched.
Since this first online gateway in to the BBC we have continued to innovate at the cutting edge of web design and development.
From the BBC News, Sport and Weather sites to the launch of BBC iPlayer on Christmas day in 2007, the vast majority of the BBC's content and programmes are now available for our audiences to access when they want, wherever they are, on four screens - the PC, mobile, tablet and internet connected TV.
We've seen major growth in our online audience over this time going from 3.9 million UK adults per week in September 2002 to 22.7 million UK adults per week a decade later in September 2012 with an ever increasing number accessing our services via non-PC devices.
Last week we surveyed a representative sample of 9,200 BBC website users and asked them to choose from the top moments over the past 15 years of BBC Online.
Of those surveyed 50% said their top moment was the launch of BBC iPlayer, 15% chose the launch of the BBC website in 1997, 8% said the BBC's first truly digital Olympics at the London 2012 Games this summer and 5% the launch of websites for children of all different ages - Cbeebies and CBBC.
In 15 short years our websites are now at the heart of BBC broadcasting and have fundamentally changed news gathering and distribution, programme research and production and how our audiences share, interact, engage and get immersed in BBC content.
The pace of change is rapid - looking back just five years smartphones were in their infancy, there were no apps, tablets or internet-connected TVs - and part of the role of the BBC is to innovate at scale and bring the audience with us as the internet and digital platforms develop.
Just as the Queen's coronation in 1953 brought TV to mainstream audiences, the London 2012 Olympic Games this summer brought digital to audiences across the UK and around the world and set a new benchmark for innovation.
This is now the starting point from which we'll build in 2013 and beyond. We're looking ahead at an extremely exciting future just as we mark a milestone in our past.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and memories from the past 15 years in the comments on this blog and hear about where you think we may go in the future.
More information on the 15th anniversary of the BBC's websites is available at the following links.
- History of the BBC.
- Interview with John Birt on the early days of online, and the decision to launch the BBC's websites.

Somewhat disappointing to see not so much as a nod to the innovation and creativity that preceded BBC Online when John Birt's first thought was to create a commercial online service that became beeb.com. You can't wipe out the fact that from 1996 beeb.com was the only way to access BBC programmes online. We produced supporting content for many programmes for the first time including Gardeners World, Top Gear, Top Of The Pops and the Fast Show amongst many others. In 1999 beeb.com was responsible for the first major online live coverage of Comic Relief, including the first online donation system in multiple currencies, behind the scenes interviews, webcams, games and all sorts of creative content that was being experienced for the first time. Of course it was right to bring all that back inside the public service but before there was a public service option at all beeb.com was innovating, entertaining and growing an audience for online. It would be shameful to forget that.

I came here via this from a person who doesn't appear to 'do' interactivity on blogs...
'Ralph Rivera has blogged about the significance of BBC Online today'
The relevant irony of an audience of 25,000,000 lience fee payers and 7,000,000,000 global visitors so far resulting in one per day (plus me) here at least is kind of interesting.

Oops, almost missed this auspicious date. Congratulations!
Ralph Rivera, director of Future Media explained in blog: "Innovation is at the heart of the BBC and has been since its inception." This is a huge part of why I have stayed loyal to BBC as my primary news provider; a simpler word for this loyalty is TRUST.
1922 first radio station.
1936 first regular TV service.
And then came - slowly - the digital revolution: BBC embraces the web.
90 years, and buffeted by 2 scandals.
1. BBC's handling of sex abuse allegations against one of its most popular hosts, the late Jimmy Saville.
2. The other involves a program that aired later wrongly accusing a former British lawmaker of sex abuse.
The BBC's director general has resigned and an acting director general has been appointed to clean up the mess.
And yet, here I remain with BBC - because there is no other trustworthy, innovative, more realiable source, and I trust BBC to put its house in order.
Lastly, I would like to see a little less western bias; at least see more effort to be completely objective - This too is innovation (also called "courage"). When most other media sources are busy selling the western perspective. I would like to see BBC presenting the world prspective.
All in all, I am yours and you are mine, and I once again congratulate BBC on 90 years in the buisness!

Good luck with that.
On matters of trust and Trust:
And, just today...
In case any might imagine this is another one off 'of another time', and this merrie olde soul..
"Roger Titcombe, educational consultant"
Also here, if captioned a bit differently:
'Campaigner Roger Titcombe, a retired head teacher who used to run one of the schools the academy could replace.' Of the the group 'Our Schools Are Not For Sale (OSANFS)'?.
By sheer coincidence, the entire BBC media estate seems to have a bit of a thing about academy schools at the moment, if a bit shy on all the background one might hope.
Despite the crush, that's informing and educating I feel might be worthy of better holding to account than at present, don't you?
ps: Don't mention the Pollard Report due a while ago. The BBC won't either.

Where might BBC On-Line go in the future?
Perhaps one day placing itself and society beyond corruption, leading or following other publications, returning to the original BBC Charter & Agreement, upholding the "fundamental principles of democracy" with explicit definitions, in every report meeting the needs of a mixed-age audience, with proportionate political education, story-relation to democracy, and declarations of conflict of interest.
Where they "may", a matter for the Governors?
Or some "long political chain"?
Comment number 9.At 19:18 14th Dec 2012, All for All wrote:
Having taken in the video, applauding and endorsing access extension of more to more, questions arise on working context, editorial freedom and audience rights.
In a society aspiring to democracy, more properly recognising survival dependence on democracy, the mission of BBC Online should not be "simply to bring the people stories, fact or fiction, gloriously anytime and any place".
Interpretation should be put on the BBC Charter, in the context if necessary of UK Human Rights Law, such that BBC Online enables itself to move from the implicit but uncertain, to the explicit and expected, 'delivery in conscience', with institutional sanction for at least the emulation of conscience.
Such is the quantity of our knowledge, analysis and ever-accumulating news, it must be acknowledged that neither prescriptive regulation, nor post-publication accountability, nor the two combined, can be expected to ensure fullest possible real-time service of "the public interest" in our broadcast media.
Only "in the sum of pursuits of a free people, subject to error and correction but free from material conflicts of interest", can we know rational trust in all others and so in true unfolding of "the interest of the public", never a risk-free 'Heaven on Earth', but perhaps the best possible experience for all, of belonging and welcome in a shared adventure of cosmic extent.
Comment number 10.At 19:43 14th Dec 2012, All for All wrote:
For BBC employees, as for all others, 'freedom from material conflict of interest', would require secure equality of incomes, in work, in sickness, and in the frailty of age, for the employee and for all in relation to the employee, family, friends, colleagues, in fact all fellow-citizens.
In advance of general understanding and agreement on Equal Partnership and Democracy Worldwide, the BBC can only seek emulation of the conditions for full freedom of conscience, relying as ever on courage and vocation, despite personal ties, but more alert than hitherto to exploitation, to vulnerability and to corruption.
Problems with ethical delivery should be shared, in on-going conversation with the public, as part of "proportionate education" toward serving "the public interest".

Angels' Jered Weaver won't get any help from doctors
The frustration is evident in Jered Weaver's voice. His fastball is slipping away, his neck is creaky and doctors have told him there is not much they can do.
"I almost wish they would tell me I need surgery," Weaver said Tuesday.
Weaver, 33, the Angels' ace for a decade, has not pitched in a week. When he last pitched, his fastball averaged 79 mph. The Angels scratched him from his next start and sent him to a spine specialist. The team said Weaver was diagnosed with "degenerative changes" in the vertebrae of his neck.
Weaver said he has a bulging disk on his left side, a condition that he said triggers irritation more than pain, and sometimes a "sensation" in his left arm. He also said that he was told the condition is not connected to the loss of velocity and that he can pitch as long as he can tolerate the irritation.
There are no more tests to be done, Weaver said, and no more doctors to see.
"Dr. Weaver is the one that is going to take it from here on out," he said.
Asked whether he could pitch effectively with the neck condition, Weaver said, "I'm pitching Saturday."
He said he has no intention of starting the season on the disabled list, although he acknowledged that Manager Mike Scioscia could decide otherwise.
"If he gives me the ball, I'll pitch," Weaver said. "I'll be ready to take the ball in the opening series."
Scioscia would not commit to including Weaver on the opening day roster, or even to starting him in Saturday's Cactus League game. Scioscia said the Angels first want to evaluate Weaver during a bullpen session Wednesday.
However, Scioscia said he remains confident in Weaver's resilience, determination and competitiveness.
"That's part of what makes him go out there and pitch really good baseball with stuff that might be a little down," Scioscia said. "He's always been able to adapt."
Weaver has no intention of walking away now. "I've got a lot of people to prove wrong," he said.
The Angels are paying him $20 million this year, the last in his five-year contract.
"I'll be back at some point," he said. "You can quote me on that."
Play of the year
Daniel Nava has had a charmed spring, but this was a bit much.
Nava caught a fly ball in left field and flipped it to a fan. That would have been nice had it been the third out of the inning, but it was the second out, and the Seattle Mariners had a runner on first base.
By rule, that is a two-base error on Nava, and the runner takes third.
Except, as it turns out, the runner has to tag up — even though the ball was dead — because the ball was caught. The runner did not tag, the Angels appealed, and the runner was called out.
"It's a really strange rule," Scioscia said.
This is spring training, so Nava could joke.
"Knowing the number of outs," he said, "is kind of important."
Nava had two hits Tuesday; he is hitting .619 in 21 spring at-bats. And, thanks to that really strange rule, he still has no errors.
He did give himself a little homework. He was going home, to learn from his daughter.
"She'll teach me tonight how to count to 10 — or 3," Nava said.
His daughter is 2 1/2 years old.

ABT Needs Your Support Now ABT CRISIS RELIEF FUND
American Ballet Theatre is an internationally celebrated cultural institution. We are America's National Ballet Company® because we are dedicated to preserving and extending the great legacy of classical dancing.
At ABT, we know that by sharing art we can develop a global community of art enthusiasts that transcends cultural boundaries. The American Ballet Theatre team – from staff, artists, and our Board of Trustees, to our dedicated volunteers – works tirelessly to produce innovative performances, reach the widest possible audience, and provide the highest quality education in classical dance.
At your fingertips is a wealth of information, but be warned: the more you learn, the more you're going to fall in love. On behalf of our entire team, welcome to American Ballet Theatre.
Where It All Began.
American Ballet Theatre is considered one of the greatest dance companies in the world, revered as a living national treasure since its founding in 1939. Few ballet companies rival ABT in size, scope, and outreach. Though located in New York City, ABT annually tours the United States – performing for 300,000 people annually – and is the only major cultural institution to do so. The Company has made more than 30 international tours to 45 countries in order to share American ballet with the world, and on many of these engagements ABT received sponsorship from the State Department of the United States Government.
In the Autumn of 1939, ABT was launched with the mission of developing a repertoire of the best ballets from the past, and the creation of new works by gifted young choreographers, wherever they might be found. Under the direction of Lucia Chase and Oliver Smith (1945 – 1980), the Company more than fulfilled this mission.
Perhaps unmatched in the history of ballet, ABT's repertoire includes full-length classics from the nineteenth century: Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and Giselle; the finest works from the early twentieth century: Apollo, Les Sylphides, Jardin aux Lilas and Rodeo; and acclaimed contemporary masterpieces including Airs, Push Comes to Shove and Duets. Throughout the curation of this exquisite repertoire, ABT has commissioned works by the choreographic geniuses of the twentieth century: George Balanchine, Antony Tudor, Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille and Twyla Tharp, among others.
Mikhail Baryshnikov became Artistic Director of American Ballet Theatre in 1980, succeeding Lucia Chase and Oliver Smith. Under his leadership, numerous classical ballets were staged, restaged, and refurbished and ABT strengthened and refined the classical tradition. In 1990, Jane Hermann and Oliver Smith succeeded Baryshnikov and established an agenda dedicated to maintaining the great traditions of the past while aggressively pursuing a vital and innovative future.
In October 1992, former American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Kevin McKenzie was appointed Artistic Director and serves as such today. McKenzie, steadfast in his vision of ABT as "American", is committed to maintaining the Company's vast repertoire and bringing the art of dance theater to the great stages of the world. In upholding this mission, the Company has enjoyed successful engagements in Abu Dhabi, Brisbane, Havana, Hong Kong, Paris, Singapore and Beijing.
On April 27, 2006, by an act of Congress, American Ballet Theatre became America's National Ballet Company®.
ABT Co-Founder Lucia Chase was inducted into the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame for 2018. The Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame publicly honors the achievements of Connecticut women, preserves their stories, educates the public and inspires the continued achievements of women and girls.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In 2008, Iron Man came sauntering on to our movie screens and the Marvel cinematic universe was born. Flash forward to the fall of 2013 and Marvel's *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.* hit television screens promising big-time Marvel action in your living room each week.
In this episode of *The 602 Club*, host Matthew Rushing is joined by Darren Moser and Norman Lao to talk about Marvel and *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D*. Together we discuss the continuity the show shares with the films and the problems that causes, as well as the benefits. Darren shows the world why the panel should be writing for television as they dig into the characters and, lastly, we wonder if Agent Carter should have been on the show all along.

National Museum of Archaeology
View all content for National Museum of Archaeology
The museum is on the main street in Valletta, Triq Ir-Repubblika, it's identified by flags outside, and is only a few minutes walk from the crazy bus terminus. Open daily 09:00 - 19:00 (last admission 18:30) and costs 2.33 euros (seniors and students 1.16, children 0.58, 5 and under free). There are currently guided tours in English every day at 10:00 and 15:00 at no extra charge. There's a well stocked shop and visitor toilets. Officially there's no photography inside, but no one seemed to mind me taking pictures without flash.
I had arrived a little later than planned due to a long wait for a glorious 1960s Bedford bus and some crazy traffic, but tacked onto the 10am tour less than half way round and was very glad I did - a very well informed guide explained the temples and their finds with a fair amount of humour too.
The first part of the museum (nb only the ground floor is open - but seeing as it's this floor which covers the prehistory I wasn't bothered that the planned expansion upstairs and galleries on Phoenician and Roman culture, through 1800 CE, were still unfinished) explains the cronology of the period covered (5200 to 2500 BCE) and the possible construction techniques used, before moving on to look at most of the main sites in order and in detail, with fabulous scales models to see.
Some information about the finds:
there are loads of headless bodies, with sockets where the neck should be, to insert a choice of heads (from
Hagar Qim
); a green stone cylinder with gold inlay (unique to the islands) and red stones inset (from
); a sherd with a solar wheel decoration (from Hagar Qim); the Venus of Malta; a clay statuettte of a pregnant woman and a whole display case of stone carved and clay phalluses (maybe the temple builders were indeed part of a fertility cult); and most importantly, the "Sleeping Lady" found at the
Hal Saflieni Hypogeum
The largest room is devoted to the Tarxien temples, and has many of the original spiral carved stones, moved to the museum to prevent damage from weathering - replicas are now in situ there. Many of the stones are shown alongside photos of their excavation.
The museum building is the Auberge of Provence, and the guide explained its history with the Knights of St John in the 16th century.
An essential visit!

TINY QUEEN ANNES ~ These dolls were
quite long in the making due to the sheer difficulty of producing
the quality I insist on even at such small scale. Like the larger
historical dolls they are drawn from, they have hand carved wooden
and jointed bodies complete with tiny individual fingers (a noted
characteristic of these dolls) with a papier mache molded head. Outfits
are entirely constructed in layers of real hand dyed silks and ultra-fine
imported laces. Hair is real mohair fiber. Choice of blue or old
rose color schemes. $195.

NOTE ON COLORS: Both color combinations are sold out. I anticipate choosing a single new color combination and the doll will remain available in the new colors (which will be announced).

The planning is eventually finished and the dream becomes a reality. A new company sets forth offering goods and/or services to the consuming public. It is a very exciting time for the owners but there is a very serious administrative detail. Someone has to go about writing a good company profile for this new entity. It is the foundation piece for all marketing and advertising to follow. Creating a company profile for the new company takes a little time but is worth the effort.
Viewing Samples Helps In Writing a Good Company Profile
The owner can start by taking a look at some samples of company profiles. Please keep in mind, it is all right to look but do not take. Plagiarism can be a very serious mistake and a violation of the copyright of the company can lead to embarrassment, and even possible litigation. Once the writer has an idea of what elements should be in a corporate profile, that person can begin to work.
Be Concise and Brief
For a new company, an effective corporate profile means 50% of success, but it doesn't mean to be the Great American Novel. It is generally advisable to have this text be no more than 500-600 words. One reason is that the average reader gets bored with the lengthy content. Additionally, search engines are more apt to consider something that is less than 600 words in length. Moreover, it is just the right size for a blog article.
To say that content is important on the Internet is an understatement. Nobody likes tedious words, and being a wordsmith will really help. The new company profile should have good use of keywords. These are what will draw the spiders from search engines. In fact, the proper use of keywords can result in that new company's web address ending up on the first page of a search. That is money in the pocket. In the composition of the content, the writer needs to highlight the company. While the establishment may have many fine qualities only the most important ones need to be part of the profile. The writing style must also take into consideration that the profile may be used for business plans or loan applications. While the sentences should not be stuffy, improper use of slang or idioms will damage the overall picture.
Double Check the Work
The writer must be extremely careful about grammatical errors and misspellings. That means that the company profile has to be proofread before it is made public. It goes without saying that the final copy must be examined one more time for any evidence of plagiarism. Once it has gone through the final reviews, the company profile for that new entity is ready for the public. If it is a polished piece of prose, the company profile will attract the public.

"Carmel takes time to understand a company's brief which includes speaking with the pertinent manager to understand the nuances of a job role and the environment in which it operates. Carmel is very tenacious and professional and we enjoy working with her, which we have done 3 times now."
Managing Director – Suffolk
"Carmel provided a very professional and thorough service. She went to great lengths to understand our business and this was clear by the quality of candidates she selected and support she gave us through the complete recruitment process."
Creative Director – Suffolk
"Carmel is a very friendly person who is extremely good at what she does. She understands the needs of her clients and how to get the best results. I would highly recommend her services."
Director – Suffolk
"I've worked with Carmel for almost 3 years and in that time she has supplied me with 4 outstanding sales team members. Carmel seems to know the candidate I am looking for and therefore her recommendations have always been automatically shortlisted for interview. This makes my job so much easier! Her experience also matches the correct candidate based on existing team members and our business, which obviously results in great staff retention. I would have no problem recommending Carmel to others."

As I move into the habit of living more intentionally, I like to spend about 10-15 minutes each day on strategy – identify 3 non-negotiables (I have tried 4, 3 and 2 and found 3 to be the magic number – achievable and satisfying) to do each day and have an overview of what's on my plate.
The thing about so doing is that you need to always be in the know about what's on your plate. I used to depend on memory, but memory has since become unreliable after childbirth. If I strategize at night, I normally don't have a problem knowing what I need to do, but if I strategize in the morning – the sleep takes away my memory of what's on the plate. I rely on lists, which I update with urgency once the to-do comes into my mind. For personal use, I do it on evernote, for work, I use an excel sheet (mad love).
There is no gain without pain. The initial time investment to note down what's on the plate can be substantial (more applicable to work for me) but the end results is a system which allows me to be efficient and effective.
I'll share it with you.
I keep the notes simple so that I will actually use the system and not find updating a chore – no need for elaborate descriptions. These are my categories:
The three things I must do today, mostly done with priority
"By the way"
Negotiables which can be done along the way while I do the non-negotiables. For example, If one of my non-negotiables is to buy diapers, other things I can get in the vicinity of the supermarket or mall will be listed under my "By the way" list.
Full list of things I need to take action on. In no particular order of importance because I update the list as the to-do crystallises. I pick my non-negotiables from this list.
For things that are suspended or pending reply. Usually these are the things that get forgotten over time.
You can use any note taking device you are comfortable with – I use evernote because it has bullet functions that are easy to use and I don't have to care about numbering. It works best electronically because you may have to amend the list over and over again but also do-able with hard copy journals.
You can use this to achieve some personal goals systematically like acting on one thing that is necessary each day by listing it under the non-negotiables.
I use my list together with google calendar. Together, they are good enough to manage my life.
A lot more describing to do because of the nature of my job. I also like to have more data on hand, in the event of dispute or query. I use excel for this and the most important thing to note when setting this up is the headers you use. They should be for information you need to draw out from time to time, or information that will help you in one way or another.
"Request list" or "Queue"
A new job to me is each request for something actionable on my part. It can relate to the same matter but I'll still treat it as a new job and record accordingly, so that I can even track how many job requests came in for a particular matter, what we did and how fast was the turnaround and/or tell internal clients where their request is in the queue and the estimated turnaround
It is not always first in first out. Sometimes I prioritise items that are worth more, even if they came in later, sometimes I work on easy to clear ones so that I have more time to deal with the complicated ones.
I record them under these header descriptions because they are useful for the nature of my work:
For things that I cannot act on at the moment or things that are awaiting reply. I also use this tab to track things which has a fixed deadline that needs to lapse before I can act on them. Again these are the most easily forgotten things, so I take more care and effort to update.
This is just a dump of all the jobs I have completed but with the use of filters, you can get a cool breakdown of all the actions taken on a matter, yours and other's because I also dump completed "pending" items here.
If you noticed, headers used in all of the above categories are kept the same and in the same sequence as much as possible. This reduces my work in updating them – I just copy and paste then update columns that need to be updated.
After setting up, apply the filter function and you will have information at your fingertips.
I also use simple formulas to help my compute turnaround time or expiry dates easily.
And that's it!
Let me know if you try this, better still if you have ideas to improve on it.

BERKELEY (CBS SF) — A hiker came across a body in the woods near Grizzly Peak on University of California at Berkeley property Sunday afternoon, a police lieutenant said.
At about 2:20 p.m. Sunday, a female hiker found the body of a deceased male at the base of a 100-foot cliff near a popular hiking spot. The hiker began giving first aid to the male, but soon realized he was deceased, UC Berkeley police Lt. Eric Tejada said.
The hiker called police and waited in the area until they arrived.
Tejada said the deceased male was possibly in his early 20s.
Investigators have not reported any signs of foul play and believed the death was unintended.
The lieutenant said a person died at almost the same location last year, but witnesses were present during that incident.
The deceased person's identity has not yet been released.

Select The Right Door for Your Home
There's a wide variety of doors available on the market today, giving you lots of options when it comes time to install a new door in your home. The most important quality you need to look for is whether a door is designed for interior or exterior installation. Each type is constructed differently and with purpose. Hence, interior doors do not offer the same level of security and insulation as do exterior doors. If you're in the market for a new entry door or want to replace interior doors in your home to update the look, our simple door guide will provide valuable information on options and features about each door type.

For at least one member of a controversial class of insecticides, low doses may cause as much harm to nontarget insects as high doses do, according to a new study. The number of offspring that fruit flies produce drops significantly when the insects are chronically exposed to nanomolar concentrations of imidacloprid, a member of the neonicotinoid insecticide group (Environ. Sci. Technol. 2014, DOI: 10.1021/es405331c).
In Europe, policymakers have moved to temporarily ban some of the neonicotinoids based in part on previous studies that showed that honeybees exposed to low doses of the compounds developed significant behavioral changes. The new study builds on these low-dose findings and suggests regulators need to rethink how they assess the safety of chemicals applied in the environment, says Dennis vanEngelsdorp, an entomologist at the University of Maryland, College Park, who wasn't involved in the work.
The main way scientists determine a chemical's toxicity is to expose lab animals to high doses and then extrapolate what the effects might be at low doses. Regulatory bodies use these studies to help them estimate substances' risks to humans or wildlife. Many researchers, however, argue that traditional testing doesn't work for certain compounds. These particular chemicals may cause as much, if not more, harm at low doses as at high doses, says Jean-Marc Bonmatin of the National Center for Scientific Research, in Orleans, France, who led the new study. Researchers in toxicology have debated the issue of low-dose effects for more than a decade, particularly with respect to human health.
One class of chemicals involved in the low-dose debate are the neonicotinoids—insecticides applied to crops that damage pests' nervous systems. Previous studies have shown that this class can kill beneficial insects like honeybees. But some research has suggested that minute doses of neonicotinoids, such as imidacloprid, may have so-called sublethal effects on bees, such as impaired foraging behavior. Unfortunately, scientists don't yet have precise ways of measuring sublethal effects on bees in the lab, and of seeing how much these effects hurt bee colonies.
To get a more controlled look at possible sublethal effects caused by imidacloprid, Bonmatin and his colleagues decided to study the chemical in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), a model organism for which researchers have more precise lab methods. The team exposed hundreds of flies to imidacloprid for several days at concentrations up to 400 nM. The team looked for changes to the flies' mating behavior and the number of offspring they produced.
Flies exposed to some low doses of the pesticide, but not high doses, mated more often—up to 30% more—than nontreated flies did. The higher mating rate may have resulted from the stress of being exposed to the chemical, Bonmatin says.
Despite the extra mating, flies exposed to low doses, but not the highest dose, of imidacloprid produced fewer offspring than control insects did. At 1.96 nM of the insecticide, the team found that these fruit flies had up to 16% fewer offspring than nontreated insects. This concentration is less than 0.01% of the chronic LC50, a standard measure representing the concentration of a chemical that kills 50% of test specimens.
The findings not only provide evidence in support of low-dose effects from chronic exposure, but also suggest that imidacloprid could reduce population sizes of nonpest insects in a way that doesn't directly kill them, Bonmatin says. Based on the study's conclusions, Maryland's vanEngelsdorp thinks regulators should start applying "a different sort of risk assessment with neonicotinoids and all pesticides," instead of looking only at short-term mortality, which is their current focus.
He also points out that researchers don't yet understand why this chemical is so harmful at such low doses. One idea is that these tiny doses aren't high enough to trigger cells' detoxification mechanisms, vanEngelsdorp says.

September 28, 2015
After a wander down Jetty Rd, we decided to have dinner at The Moseley Bar & Kitchen. They have a sit down restaurant on the first floor and a bar restaurant upstairs.
As we have never been to The Moseley, based on the menu alone, we decided to eat in their downstairs restaurant.
Lovely lighting and what a welcoming view! Bright, uniquely furnished, warm, spacious, and casual – just what we were looking for.
We had not made reservations but did not have any issues. We were shown to some couches and coffee table as our dining area. Interesting wall beside us filled with old window panels.
Eye drawing and installed at the front of the restaurant are comfy hanging white wicker chairs. We couldn't resist a swing after dinner 😉
Our lovely company for the night!
Started off the evening with some fresh bread!
Isabelle and I still working on our selfie game 😉
Matt and Laura decided on the same dish – Ricotta Gnocchi with kale, broccolini & almonds ($25) which they both enjoyed!
Michael and I were interested in trying a few of the entrees!
Pork Belly Japanese ramen broth with shaved bug tails and wheat noodles ($15). We both thought this dish could've been much better, it just needed actual hot broth! When we first tasted the dish, the pork belly was unfortunately dry, but the egg was nicely cooked, flavour of the broth and texture of the noodles were good. The broth, however, was lukewarm and as a result, the bug tails weren't fully cooked, not to mention it's odd eating a ramen dish that was neither hot nor cold. We asked the staff if this dish was meant to be room temperature and she happily offered to ask the kitchen to make us a fresh bowl. Sadly, the second bowl came out at the same temperature! If you are not serving noodles in a cold broth, it should come out steaming hot!
Aside from the above mentioned fluke, the rest of the food was good!
We had Chicken, leek & truffle pithivier with frisée, bacon & croutons ($16). We learned a new word that night. Normally a sweet dish, a Pithivier is a round, enclosed pie usually made by baking two disks of puff pastry, with filling stuffed in between.
Twice baked gruyere souffle with apple & walnut salad, Waldorf sorbet, & quince paste ($15). As you can imagine, all the components worked really well together. The sorbet was refreshing but we still don't know what flavours Waldorf sorbet entails – totally forgot to ask!
Last, but definitely our favourite of the night, Duck liver pate with goji berry jelly & charred house made bread ($15). Indulgent, and a really nice balance of savoury and sweet. We weren't expecting the jelly to be a layer overtop the pate but it was great! We couldn't get enough of the charred bread as well – it should come with more to prolong the enjoyment of the pate 😉
Enjoyable evening with great service and a welcoming atmosphere. We would love to come back if we lived in Adelaide and definitely recommend a visit!

November 3: Election Day. More House incumbents will be running unopposed by major-party candidates today than at any other time since 1958, in part because of decisions by both parties to focus on close races. A number of ballots will contain questions pertaining to animal rights. For example, Missouri and Arizona voters will decide whether to outlaw cockfighting. This activity is legal in only five states, although Hawaii recently considered legalizing it, as long as the roosters wore boxing leg mitts in the ring. 30: The permanent provisions of the 1993 Brady gun-control law are scheduled to take effect today, replacing interim measures in force since 1994. Buyers of all guns, not just handguns, will now undergo background checks through an FBI database. The checks will in most cases be almost instantaneous; they will replace the five-day waiting period to buy a handgun, except in states whose own laws require a waiting period. Some fear that local and state documents, such as mental-health records and restraining orders, may be overlooked, and argue that the wait may prevent some suicides and crimes of passion.
November 5: Starting today the Food and Drug Administration will require that all unpasteurized juice products bear a label warning that they may contain harmful bacteria. Although the vast majority of juice sold in the United States is pasteurized, a process that kills most pathogens, some manufacturers, especially cider makers, have resisted pasteurization, because it can alter taste. Some cider mills are exploring flash-pasteurization, which briefly exposes juice to extremely high temperatures and has less effect on flavor. Small manufacturers, ill equipped to afford pasteurization technology, fear that the rule could put them out of business. The rule comes in response to a 1996 incident in which 66 people became ill, and one died, after drinking unpasteurized cider contaminated with E. coli.
Health & Safety
This month Medicare will begin mailing information to consumers, phasing in a toll-free information line, and providing other services to help beneficiaries understand the new Medicare+Choice program, mandated in the 1997 Balanced-Budget Act. The program is intended to expand the options of Medicare recipients and to encourage them to take greater responsibility for their health care. It represents the most comprehensive change to Medicare ever, allowing recipients to choose from many types of plans and instituting sweeping measures to protect their rights. Among the plans that will eventually be available are medical savings accounts. Those who choose an MSA will be enrolled in a plan that carries a high deductible, for which Medicare will pay the premium; Medicare will also make an annual deposit into the recipient's MSA. The deposit may be used to help pay for services provided before the deductible has been met and services not covered by the policy.
This month the U.S. Postal Service will begin setting up systems in 12 metropolitan areas to monitor the progress of mail with radio-transmitter tags, in the hope of increasing efficiency. Tucked inside envelopes planted among batches of letters, the tags will give information to tag readers in local and regional post offices. When "pinged" by a reader, a tag will provide the ZIP codes of a batch of mail's origin and destination, the date the mail entered the system, and its precise travel time. Systems are expected to be fully operational in New York City, Boston, Dallas, and Tampa in time for the holiday rush, and in the eight other cities by next summer. The project, expected to cost $6 million, is a prelude to nationwide implementation -- and the technology it employs could one day render obsolete that time-honored dodge "The check is in the mail."
The Skies
November 4: Full Moon, also known this month as the Beaver Moon and the Moon When the Bucks Lose Their Horns. 17 and 18: The Leonid meteor shower peaks on these mornings, probably between 2:00 A.M. and dawn. Though notoriously unpredictable, the Leonid may be worth watching for this year. Roughly every 33 years it produces a dramatic meteor storm, with thousands of shooting stars per minute; the last big show was in 1966.
Arts & Letters
November 15: The first comprehensive survey of Japanese art from the Edo period (c. 1600-1868) to be shown in the United States opens at the National Gallery of Art, in Washington, D.C. The exhibit, garnered from more than 75 public and private collections, consists of nearly 300 works, including painted scrolls, porcelain, gold-leaf screens, wood-block prints, Noh and Kabuki costumes, and samurai helmets decorated with such things as a giant rabbit's ears and an upside-down rice bowl. Many of the items in the exhibit are classified as national treasures and have never before left Japan. The exhibit will run through February; the National Gallery will concurrently host a lecture series and a performing-arts festival.
100 Years Ago
John Muir, writing in the November, 1898, issue of The Atlantic Monthly: "In my first interview with a Sierra bear we were frightened and embarrassed, both of us, but the bear's behavior was better than mine. When I discovered him, he was standing in a narrow strip of meadow, and I was concealed behind a tree on the side of it. After studying his appearance as he stood at rest, I rushed toward him to frighten him, that I might study his gait in running. But, contrary to all I had heard about the shyness of bears, he did not run at all; and when I stopped short within a few steps of him, as he held his ground in a fighting attitude, my mistake was monstrously plain. I was then put on my good behavior, and never afterward forgot the right manners of the wilderness."

When cloud hosting was first introduced, people assumed that cloud hosting was less secure than other forms of hosting, including onsite server rooms and data centers. In this article, we address these assumptions.
In 2012 and 2013, reputable news sites ran headlines that read "8 Reason To Fear Cloud Computing," and "Yes, the cloud is dangerous -- here's how to stay safe." Of course, people were extremely wary of using this new technology that was being talked about so negatively in the media.
A study was done in 2014 of IT decision makers by BT, 49% said that they are 'very or extremely anxious' about the security implications of the cloud.
But many years have gone by, and the cloud still has a reputation for being less secure having around it. Is this reputation warranted or is it merely being punished for its rocky start?
What Is Cloud Hosting?
First, let's define cloud hosting. Cloud hosting is a service that provides access via a virtual server to a large pool of resources. Users are given these resources on-demand, so it is a great way to manage peak loads efficiently. As a user, you don't rely just on one server, but on a cluster of servers that work together which are called "the cloud."
Because there is a team of servers readily available to service your website, you most likely won't ever experience downtime on your site. It is effortless to scale up or down as needed for your site. At first, cloud hosting was costly, but now it has become relatively affordable and could be a good option for small businesses thanks to its reliability and scalability.
Myth 1: Loss of Control
Initially, the myths that cloud hosting was less secure ran rampant throughout the technical world. Perhaps the paranoia stemmed from the fact that the cloud approach itself felt a bit insecure because you are storing your data and information on servers and systems that you don't control or own.
However, it is now 2018, and the cloud has come a long way. We are much more trusting of these, but for some reason, cloud hosting is still fighting against its bad rep. The cloud industry, in general, has built their system around providing transparency and security. This system allows you to retain responsibility for your data, but not have to manage everything on your own.
Myth 2: The Noisy Neighbors Effect
The public cloud is a multi-tenant hosting environment so that you will be sharing your space with other users. It can be a cause of concern for some users because they don't know who their neighbors are and what sort of website they are hosting.
Even though there are many tenants on the server, it doesn't mean that the cloud server is less secure. A cloud server is not like a shared hosting environment, where a noisy neighbor can affect other tenants.
The experts at Gartner, a world leader in research, has weighed in. Their security experts have said that "38% of companies who don't plan to use the public cloud cited security and privacy as the main reason. However, companies may be using security/privacy as a scapegoat for fears about relinquishing control over data and a major shift in the status quo of how enterprises are used to operating. 'There's been no correlation between security failure and the degree of multitenancy."
There are many security measures that the cloud hosting providers have put in place to protect you from your neighbors. One such protocol is a VM isolation, which means your virtual network is completely isolated from others on the same machine. These added security measures can help ensure that our data is safe and protected.
Myth 3: Cloud Servers Are More Vulnerable
It doesn't matter what type of hosting service you have, and there are always going to be vulnerabilities. It is impossible for security to be perfect and the safety of the cloud is reliant on the expertise of the provider and their implementation. Before signing with a cloud host, you should look at their track record to see if they are prone to attacks.
Here are the main issues that do threaten cloud hosting environments:
DDoS attacks. This form of attack is an attempt to make a website unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from various sources. You can add security plugins or add-ons to stop and slow down DDoS attacks.
Malware. Malware is a software that tempts to damage computers and computers systems. It can be detrimental to sensitive data, but you can use security software or plugins to prevent this attack.
Data loss. When data is moved and stored across long distances, you do run the risk of losing the data due to natural causes or a data center going offline. Unfortunately, it is a reality for many website owners at least once. However, as long as you are performing regular backups, you won't be seriously inconvenienced if data goes missing.
Data breaches. Facebook has been famous for their recent data breaches, but obviously, you want to make sure this doesn't happen to you. Add a two-step authentication step and improve your passwords to avoid a data breach.
You might have noticed that all four of the main issues that affect cloud hosting will also affect a traditional hosting environment as well. The cloud is not any more vulnerable than other forms of hosting such as VPS or shared hosting.
Security Benefits of Cloud Hosting
Using a cloud environment can be great for your website. It is easily scalable, very flexible and is just as secure as other networks.
Here are some of the standard security benefits of cloud servers:
No hardware issues. Unlike traditional users who might have to deal with server maintenance causing their website to go down, cloud users virtually never have any downtime. There is always another server on the cloud network who can run your site.
Other infected sites won't affect you. The problem with sharing your server with other users is if their website gets affected by malware, yours could too or it could slow down your site. If this happens on the cloud network, once again another server on the network can take over the running of your site, and you will be isolated from the issue.
Instant data mirroring. A mirror or replica of your site can come in handy to help improve the safety of your site and its redundancy.
Today's cloud hosting is incredibly different from the insecure and untrustworthy plans of years past. Cloud hosting has come along way and continued to improve year after year. While their security is not perfect, a cloud hosting environment is no less secure than a traditional hosting environment. They can offer a safe, reliable solution for your hosting needs and are an ideal step up from a shared hosting plan.
