Quality systems are complex and extremely difficult to manage across an entire enterprise, especially in regulated environments where strict adherence to quality standards is required. In order to stay competitive, more and more organizations are turning to EQMS software systems to meet quality standards and maintain compliance with quality regulations imposed by the FDA, ISO, EMEA, and other similar regulatory bodies. Enterprise quality management software can enhance enterprise-wide efficiency while also ensuring that quality systems are compliant, connected, and cost effective.
Select all the resources you're interested in downloading
In an increasingly competitive market, companies need an EQMS softwaresystem that decreases risk, facilitates compliance, and gets products to market faster. And if they want to stay ahead of the competition, their EQMS system must also have the flexibility that will allow it to adapt over time as well as integration functionality that will allow it to connect with legacy systems the organization already has in place.
To help a company achieve and maintain compliance, enterprise quality management software must provide the capability to optimize quality processes or it is not worth the cost of investment. Any EQMS system worth its price tag must be capable of connecting all departments, product lifecycles, and quality processes. User-friendly enterprise quality management systems provide the added bonus of simplifying, streamlining, and effectively managing quality control processes. If an organization has the ability to automatically route tasks and escalate them when necessary, they have a guarantee that task completion and inter-departmental review and approval occurs on a timely basis. Plus, when a proven methodology forms the basis of the system, each department has improved its odds of achieving project success, whether they are QA groups, regulatory teams, or any other department affected by quality and compliance.
Having provided enterprise quality management systems globally for more than 20 years, MasterControl has a well-established track record and a matchless selection of products and services that meet customer needs across the enterprise. MasterControl provides not only software, but real solutions to the obstacles that companies encounter while doing business in regulated environments. MasterControl offers integrated EQMS software modules that companies can put to work right off the shelf but they also provide configurability for organizations with broader enterprise needs. MasterControl's enterprise quality management software is Web-based, so users throughout the enterprise, regardless of geographic location, are able to collaborate efficiently and maintain constant contact.
MasterControl's compliance-enhancing enterprise quality management software maintains all documents and forms-based quality processes within one secure platform. In comparison to labor-intensive paper-based quality systems, the MasterControl EQMS system essentially runs itself. In fact, Hundreds of organizations around the world use MasterControl software to achieve compliance with FDA regulatory requirements such as 21 CFR parts 11, 210-211, 820, and 606 and ISO standards such as ISO 9000, ISO 13485, ISO 14000, and ISO/TS 16949, and many more global quality standards.
While the MasterControl Documents™ and MasterControl Training™ modules provide the core of the EQMS system, other MasterControl modules seamlessly connect to help customers flesh out a complete solution. These other offerings include MasterControl Audit™, MasterControl CAPA™, MasterControl Change Control™, and MasterControl Customer Complaints™, MasterControl Process™, and similarly specialized modules. Perhaps most importantly, MasterControl EQMS software has the ability to integrate with other electronic repositories that organizations may currently be using for storing documents (such as SOPs, engineering drawings, or other types of similar documentation) but are incapable of controlling quality processes like training or corrective and preventive action (CAPA). With MasterControl enterprise quality management software, organizations are able to leverage their existing repositories by integrating them with MasterControl's robust applications without having to pay for custom coding. Files and data can be freely exchanged between MasterControl applications that control specific quality processes (e.g., CAPA, training, change control, etc.) and existing enterprise systems like ERP, PDM, and MES that are not currently connected to the quality management system.
To support its robust EQMS software solutions, MasterControl also offers a wide selection of indispensable implementation, migration, validation, training and technical support services as well.
With an effective enterprise quality management software system like MasterControl, companies can enhance both quality and speed to market. The implementation of MasterControl has given companies around the world the ability to improve the quality of their products while decreasing wasted resources and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.

Company slashes CO2 by the equivalent of one thousand London to Manchester return lorry journeys
Zenith Hygiene Group is saving almost 600 tonnes of CO2 a year with TomTom fleet management technology, enabled by Vodafone, according to independent research.
The study, undertaken by global sustainability consultancy Environmental Resources Management (ERM), was commissioned by Vodafone, whose world-leading machine-to-machine services support TomTom Business Solutions.
Zenith's estimated 597-tonne saving equates to a 28 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions across its 61-strong lorry fleet – equivalent to 1,000 return lorry trips between London and Manchester.
ERM reported :
"In financial terms, it is estimated that if Zenith Hygiene continues at the current level of fuel efficiency, it could save in the region of £218,000 per year on fuel costs, with a further potential £50,000 on reduced maintenance costs."
These financial savings resulted in return on investment being realised by the cleaning and hygiene specialist within just three months. Zenith achieved this with TomTom's tracking, navigation and ecoPLUS devices installed across its vehicle fleet. The vehicles use Vodafone's global machine-to-machine services which enable businesses to connect, monitor and manage devices across the world.
The solution has enabled Zenith to track vehicle usage and fuel consumption, while managers and drivers alike have been given an insight into performance behind the wheel. As a result they have been able to minimise incidents of speeding and harsh driving and promote a greener, safer and more efficient fleet operation.
"Vodafone is making it easier for businesses to cut costs and reduce their environmental impact," said Erik Brenneis, Head of Vodafone Global M2M.
"Mobile technology is enabling people to adopt lower carbon ways of operating, living and working. Together with TomTom we have enabled firms all over the world to save hundreds of thousands of pounds annually. The efficiency gains and costs savings made by Zenith provide compelling evidence for business investment in advanced fleet management technology."
Giles Margerison, director UK and Ireland, TomTom Business Solutions, added: "Business benchmarking and effective change management have been key ingredients in Zenith's success."
"TomTom works closely with all its business customers to ensure they maximise the potential of their fleet management technology and optimise operational efficiency."
TomTom Business Solutions is a leading provider of fleet management solutions and professional Telematics Services. Our in-car products are designed to help drive greener, safer and more efficiently. Our online platform, WEBFLEET, is highly scalable and has the highest standards in terms of reliability and security.

text: starlitegirl Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 I put it on this morning after working all night as a relaxer before sleep time. And the gingerbread is more prominent. Spice is there but much less so (to my nose) than V1. Maybe cakey isn't the right word. Maybe just gingerbread and spice. There is a subtle creamy undertone. I never notice creamy so much in any scent that's creamy. I never noticed egg nog in V1. So maybe that helps. But less spice and maybe a bit different spice. More gingerbread. And yesterday the gingerbread stayed prominent when it dried. It vanished on me in V1 but perhaps that was because the spice was different/stronger. Again, both are great but to my nose distinctly different. I'm glad I've got both and quite likely I'll be getting more of V2 because YUM! Link to post Share on other sites

As a countdown to the Best of Denver 2010, coming April 1, Cafe Society is serving up a hundred of our favorite dishes in Denver. Send your own nominations to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Number 81: Salsa bar from Tacos Y Salsas
The salsa and accouterments bar at Tacos Y Salsas could conceivably count as several dishes, especially if you're like me and shoot those salsas just like a shot of whiskey. It doesn't matter which Tacos Y Salsas location you hit: They each have the same disheveled set-up, but that's the fault of the "drippers" -- the messy people who shovel the salsas onto their plates, while somehow managing to create a river of red between the onions and the cilantro on their way from bin to bin. Then again, who can blame them for their slovenly ways? This is a salsa bar that's worth raiding, a jumble of rojas and verdes that zigzag from ferociously hot to hellish hot to devilishly blazing -- all of them excellent. Toss a few lime wedges on your plate, some cilantro and hacked onions, maybe a few diced radishes, obviously a couple of pickled jalapenos and a spoonful of pico, and you've got a one-dish dinner.
Hungry for more? The dishes in our countdown thus far are linked below:

Pick up some equipment from stores like MOTackle, bring some lunch, and enjoy hours of quiet. Just don't forget to turn your phone off.
Take time to breathe
Yes, obviously you are breathing right now. No one is disputing that. But it's probably not thoughtful breath. Learn how to breathe meditatively – it can improve your focus, your energy and your mood, and it will only take mere minutes out of your day. Focussed breathing really is an investment in your day-to-day performance. Not only that but it will calm you down, allow you to focus and can really clear your mind.
Take time to move
Nothing helps reduce stress like getting out and about. Of course, it's not possible for everyone to run a marathon each day, but you can probably still include more activity in your day than you realise. Getting up 45 minutes earlier to go for a walk, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and even getting up to speak with someone instead of just sending an email can work wonders in the long term. It also gives you mini-breaks from all your work stresses, and gives you the opportunity to escape your computer monitor for a moment.
Take time to volunteer
This may sound strange – reduce stress by increasing your obligations – but volunteering can have astoundingly positive impacts on your emotional and mental wellbeing. Just taking a bit of time out once a week, once a fortnight or even once a month can make you feel happier, give you something to focus on outside of work and family, and can give you a fantastic support network of other volunteers and organisations.
Take time
Just give yourself more time – cut yourself some slack. Just allowing yourself an extra five minutes to eat your lunch outside, or letting yourself sleep in those extra 20 minutes on the weekend can do wonders. So allow yourself to enjoy your own time without always scheduling it.

Kia ora Everyone!
A bit of a strange question. Is there such thing as a tradtional poofer? or a earlier design opposed to the modern commercial proofers? Or could anyone suggest how to make one?
any advice would be appreciated!

This works to incubate yogurt, keeps a container at 100-F (38C), it would probably work to proof starter or bread dough. Place jar of starter or covered bowl of dough on top of crock pot (slow cooker) to keep it warm (crock pot interior temps run at 180-F to 205-F - 80C to 95C) . The rising heat keeps the yogurt, starter or dough warm.
Fill the crock pot half full of water. Place temperature setting on LOW. Put the crock pot lid in place, up-side-down (inverted). Place a folded dish towel on the up-side-down crock pot lid. When crock pot heats up, place covered bowl of dough or jar of starter on the towel. The rising heat should keep it warm, but not too warm. After the starter or dough warms, take its temperature. If it's too low, turn the crock pot to HIGH. If the starter or dough temperature is too high, add another folded towel or two under the bowl.
Crock pots are made to run for hours and hours like what's required for the task here, digital models have timers. Some models have WARM, LOW and HIGH settings.

My thoughts are that traditionally the bread would have been dry proved.
This involves placing the dough at room temperature and when it is ready you bake it.
I would imagine that bakeries have always been warm to hot places.
Modern provers allow a lot more control and so better scheduling of baking and the ability to have short proving times.
Given patience good yeast products can be produced without one however most commercial baking has some sort of schedule in that the bread has to be made in time to be delivered or for when the shop opens.
Have you thought of using the new Brod & Taylor bread proofer that is now in Oz. I have just ordered mine from The Peppermill cookware store in Melbourne and can't wait for it to arrive.
Hope it is as good as the blogs I have read say it is.
Happy baking

Goldmines in Zloty Stok
In the town Zloty Stok, which means Golden Hillside, was the mining the most important means of income. It has even a tradition that goes back more than a 1000 years in time. There was a real gold fever in Zloty Stok, because the ground around the place was full of precious metals, one of which was gold. From several gold veins and bulges from rivers out of the mountains gold was won. Nowadays are the goldmines of Zloty Stok all that is left over from this era, while the first written proof of the existence of the mines dates from the 13th century.
Interactive program
At the beginning of the 20th century the mines were modernized. So there was electricity applied and there came a railway to link Zloty Stok with Kamieniec. In 1996 were the first tours organized around the mine. The tours takes you to the museum, the dead gallery, the Gnome (according to the legend this Gnome guards the gold reserves) and to the underground waterfall. The dead gallery is a hallway, dug out of one of the upper levels, where the mine workers were tortured when they were suspected of stealing the gold. Very impressive to visit. There are also boat trips through the mines. Other activities are: wall climbing, gold panning, making gold coins and acquiring a goldmine workers certificate. When visiting the mine, we would like to advise you to make a reservation in advance. The tour can eventually be given in English and German.
Tip: Wear strong hiking shoes or sports shoes and warm clothing. It is namely also in the summer quite chilly and vary damp.
- Prices: 17 zł adults and 14 zł children
- Opening hours: 09:00 – 18:00 (1 April – 31 October) and 09:00 – 17:00 (1 November – 31 March)

After initial BIM Complete Constructable Solution Seminar events took place in September, Tekla India have touted the success of the concluding workshops in December and the entire series as a whole.
Held in cities such as Ahmedabad, Delhi, Hyderabad and Kolkata, the symposiums were held "to create awareness amongst the top corporates about latest technologies in modern construction practices in the country", such as Building Information Modelling.
Speaking at the December event held last week was Tekla's Technical Manager, Michael Hodgson. In addition to exciting speakers, a wide variety of delegates also attended, such as "structural engineering consultants, structural, precast and rebar fabricators, project owner, real estate developers, general and concrete contractors, erectors, EPC companies, quantity surveyors and estimators" – a varied list most definitely!
"The structural steel and concrete construction is a huge industry in India," said Tekla India's COO & Business Director, Nirmalya Chatterjee. "There have been various technology advancements and breakthroughs that have immensely revolutionised this segment in the recent times. Innovations have led to a more advanced form of automation in the methods and processes, making it swifter and easier. For a construction company to sustain in this constantly rising pace of industry, it is very necessary that it adopts advanced technologies."

On 19 June, a new exhibit opens at the A+D Museum called COME IN! S,M,L, XLA.
S, M, L, XLA logo designed by Andrew Byrom
The website's description follows:
Historically, Los Angeles as a city has been a site of inspiration and exploration for architects and designers alike. The city has been developed around and defined by a variety of large-scale urban planning projects as well as medium and smaller sized residential and public work including housing, product design and technological innovations. Through these various architecture and design projects, the city has nurtured experimental pursuits and critical inquiry and today it continues to expand in the contemporaneous city.
Projects are currently being developed at various scales all over L.A. from miniscule to monumental and everything in-between. Small, medium, large, extra-large Los Angeles takes Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Maus seminal text as a departure point and more importantly as an organizing principle to examine the production and discourse of architecture and design within today's city of L.A. bringing coherence to the body of work of an emergent group of Los Angeles based designers that span across disciplines from architecture and graphics to digital media and sound art, to jewelry, landscape, lighting, product, and textile design; the show highlights the ways in which young practitioners are currently thinking and making in Los Angeles in addition to their impact on the present-day city and its future.
The exhibit highlights the work of artists and designers, including Fieldwork (Maya Santos and Rani de Leon), On The Road Project LA (Jonathan Louie and James Michael Tate), Jae Won Cho of J1, Laurel Broughton of WELCOME PROJECTS, Natasha Bajc, NO RELATION (Steven and Mads Christensen), Grey Crowell of the Foundation for Architecture and Design, Bijan Fahmian of the Los Angeles Arts Collective, NONdesigns (Miao Miao and Scott Franklin), Cellular Complexity (Julia Koerner, Kais Al-Rawi, and Marie Boltenstern), Andrew Kovacs, Jonathan Louie, Evan Mather, Alison Petty Ragguette, M-Rad (Matthew Rosenberg), Lisa C. Soto, Maxi Spina, T8projects (James Michael Tate), limilLab (Filipa Valente), and Eduardo Viramontes.
Image source -- A+D Museum
The A+D Museum (aka Architecture and Design Museum) was founded in 2001 and originally located in Downtown Los Angeles's iconic Bradbury Building. It later moved to Museum Row, where it currently resides alongside the Craft & Folk Art Museum, LACMA, the George C. Page Museum, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and Zimmer Children's Museum. The A+D is only museum in Los Angeles with an exclusive emphasis on architecture and design. The exhibition will run from 19 June until 31 August and the opening will be DJed by Rani De Leon.
Museum Row in Midtown
A+D Museum is located in Miracle Mile at 6032 Wilshire Boulevard. It is located near the intersection of Wilshire and Fairfax Avenue (where Notorious BIG was killed) and is conveniently accessible by the Metro 20 and 217 lines as well as the Metro Rapid 720. The extension of the Purple Line will mean the displacement of the museum in the future.

Information for students, faculty and staff regarding COVID-19. (Updated: 21 October 2020)
Chair of the faculty's Research Education Committee, director of studies and examiner of the PhD programme in Computing Science, and director of the Master's Programme in Computing Science.
I am primus inter pares of the research group Foundations of Language Processing, which is part of Language Processing Center North. My research interests are formal language theory in a wide sense and its application to problems in computational linguistics and natural language processing. Several of my projects in this area are AI projects targeting multimodal media analysis. In particular, I am interested in structural representations of natural language that combine different aspects such as syntax, semantics, and context knowledge. Currently, I am mostly interested in the algorithmics of automata and grammars that process semantic representations of sentences such as Abstract Meaning Representations, and how those can be made use of for media analysis.
You will find my office in the MIT building, 4th floor, room E454.
Previously, I have been active in the field of grammatical picture generation. Information about a book on this subject that I have written (in the Springer EATCS series Texts in Theoretical Computer Science) is available here.
You may also be interested to have a look at the system TREEBAG.
So far I have been the main supervisor of three PhD students:
Johanna Björklund (then Johanna Högberg)
Christina Igasto (then Christina Olsén)
Martin Berglund
On a more personal note, in my sparetime I keep and breed Dendrobates (also somewhat misleadingly called dart frogs) and I try to develop my photographic skills. Feel free to visit my pages on Dendrobates (in Swedish) and about my photographs.

Become a Friend of Charlotte Straker
Charlotte Straker has had a Friends Group since it was an NHS cottage hospital. The idea continued when Charlotte Straker House opened as a charity in 1992. Our vision now is to recruit as many supporters in the local community as possible to be part of a new expanded Friends Group.
Standards are at a high level with a recent excellent CQC inspection report, a rating of 'Good' throughout and not one word of criticism.
We are determined to maintain these high standards and believe that if we can demonstrate that The Project continues to have the broad approval and support of the local people, this will help to secure its future.
To this end the team at Charlotte Straker would like to invite a wide section of the community to become "Friends of Charlotte Straker".
"Friends" are people who approve the work of the Charlotte Straker Project and would be prepared to support it with an annual donation.
We hope, that you will accept our invitation to become a "Friend", the subscription rates for which are;-
1. "Member" – £24.00 per annum or £2.00 monthly
2. "Sponsor" – £60.00 per annum or £5.00 monthly
3. "Patron" – £120.00 per annum or £10.00 monthly
Please note that if you feel able to contribute more then please do so.
All "Friends" will be kept informed of developments and will receive an invitation to Charlotte Straker social functions and fundraising events, if possible by email.
Every penny of the money raised by this initiative will be spent to further the aims of the charity in providing care and improving facilities.
Become a Friend now
If you would like to help Charlotte Straker in this way, either as "Member", "Sponsor" or "Patron" then thank you!
In the first instance, please email email@example.com and all relevant information will be emailed out to you as soon as possible.

Never give up, you will get through this rough time. I am sorry for the battle with depression you are in right now.
Perhaps it sounds strange right now but even after all these years it may be good to be rid of this person in your life who seems to have turned toxic and is causing you severe sadness.
I have not been in a hospital but I am glad for the person that did come to you and sat with you after the nurse was so stern with you.
I do not believe that you have brought any of this on yourself, you have depression, you have an illness............lets help you get through this tough time.
Your friend
ive stayed in pysch hospitals (voluntarily) and have noticed there are 2 distinct types of mental health nurses. you either get the 'no nonsense, ive seen it all nurse ratchett' types who make you feel like your wasting their time, or you get the genuinely caring, supportive ones who have a sense of humour, dont patronise you or make you feel weak and pathetic the way the other type can do. thats just been my experience. i think alot of pysch nurses are quite hardened because of what they deal with on a daily basis, but at the same time, that is no excuse for being less than caring.
i pray your situation improves soon. hang in there,

- Please see my profile for a list of most of my equipment.
Lately I have been getting requests to review all sorts of stuff for various manufacturers. Every once in a while I will get something that surprises me. When I saw the packaging and the presentation of both of these in ear monitors, I was blown away. The attention to detail, the high quality packaging, the build quality and the extras included within are nothing short of impressive.
This duo was a definite surprise for me…read on to see why….
Between these two IEM's, I listened to quite a bit of music…too much to list. However, please see my other reviews to see what my normal demo choices are.
The Hephaes (DN-16):
The DUNU Hephaes has one major thing going for it…BASS. Make no mistake about it, the Hephaes is made to deliver bass and it does so. As a result, the midrange is contaminated with the over-emphasized flabby bass and to a degree, so are the highs. The overall sound on the Hephaes is a dark, veiled sound that sounds slow and muffled.
Playing "Scar Tissue" on the Red Hot Chili Peppers album "Californication"made this extremely evident. The guitar sounded more like a bass guitar. The drums were muddy and a bit slow and the bass was flabby and had little definition. The distortion which is usually supremely evident on most IEM's was barely there on the Hephaes. Moreover, the cable of the Hephaes is susceptible to microphonics. I was a tad disappointed to say the least.
After being disappointed with the Hephaes on nearly every single demo track, I decided to take a break and listen to something else. Later on that night I had a friend come over and we were talking about music. He pulled out his iPod to play something for me. The Hephaes was the nearest IEM I had available at the moment so I used that for a quick listen. For the first time…the FIRST TIME…the Hephaes sounded decent! The bass was low, the midrange sounded a bit better and the highs were present. So what gives!?
A few seconds of listening and looking at the iPod gave me the explanation I was looking for. THE MASTERING & GENRE!!!
Apparently the Hephaes doesn't do well with well mastered recordings but if you throw the majority of modern recordings at it – especially in the electronic, pop and rap/hip-hop genres, the Hephaes sounds a bit better. It's almost contradictory in nature but the Hephaes actually sounded better with bad recordings than it did with well mastered recordings. Interesting to say the least. The Hephaes sounds like it is made to play the newest singles from modern pop artists using modern mastering techniques.
The Ares (DN-11):
The Ares, thankfully for me and others, is the exact opposite of its sibling, the Hephaes. The Ares has a lot less bass, a nice midrange and a nice high end. While it will not handle the deepest bass of a modern hip-hop record, it handles well mastered recordings beautifully when compared to the Hephaes. Voices sound like voices, guitars sound like guitars and so on.
The sound of the Ares is smooth. Both extremes of the sound spectrum are rolled off but in a pleasant way. The main feature of the Ares which pops out is the lush mid-range which makes for a nice, pleasant sounding IEM.
Listening to various track excerpts from albums by the likes of Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Dire Straits, Chicago and many others, you can't help but notice that the sound is pleasant and suited for various styles of music. Another nice thing about the Ares is the extras that it comes with. It comes with no less than 3 carrying pouches and 7 pairs of tips! Very nice!!!!
The Hephaes and the Ares are two siblings with different personalities. Which one you would want to buy depends totally on what kind of music you have and listen to and what your sound signature preferences are.
If you are looking for an affordable, natural sounding IEM between these two then the Ares would be the one to get. If you like your bass heavy and are looking for a very forgiving IEM that will make modern music tolerable, then the Hephaes is for you.
While neither of these has amazing, killer sound quality in their respective price ranges they should each find a niche to satisfy. Personally, I think the Ares could do with less packaging and less carrying cases and instead get a price cut. At $75.00 USD, the price is a little steep considering the sound quality. If DUNU could somehow price the Ares at $50.00 - $60.00 USD, I would think they would have a real winner and it would get a higher recommendation.
The Hephaes is priced at or slightly over $100.00 USD and while the looks are killer and the packaging and extras are very nice, I cannot see myself recommending this IEM to all but a very small portion of people I know. I know many audiophiles and music lovers and out of all of them I know of only one person who would actually enjoy the sound of the Hephaes. The Hephaes is more for people who enjoy listening to their Monster Beats and their modern music at 128kps in mp3 format. Being that this is Head-fi, I can't possibly recommend the Hephaes to anyone here and retain a guilt free conscious. This isn't to say the Hephaes is bad…it's not bad…it's just not Hi-Fi.
I can say that I will be watching what else DUNU puts out in the future. Their build quality, packaging and attention to detail is nothing short of fantastic. If they manage to refine the sound of their IEM's, DUNU's products will be a force to be reckoned with. In the meantime however, I will be patiently keeping on eye on their products as they do show a lot of promise.
Both headphones have awesome build quality that surpasses most efforts put out by other well known companies. The packaging and attention to detail receive extremely high marks as well!!!
The Ares: Recommended but shop around for the lowest price.
The Hephaes: Dark, muddy, flabby bass. Not Recommened if you want Hi-Fi sound. Perfect for the Beats crowd.
