While this year's been an anomaly, typically when March rolls around people are pretty antsy; it's not quite spring and winter seems to be dragging on. It's usually at this point that parents are looking for something to do, anything really, with their kids. And, inevitably, growing up, we would find ourselves piling in the station wagon taking a little excursion to the Maple Sugar Farm in South Natick (however, I believe, it's really named the Natick Community Farm).
And, that's the flashback I had, which, by the by, made me chuckle, as I opened an email at work touting the NY Maple Weekend. May seem like an odd email to get at work, but being in the travel industry I do receive all kinds of newsletters with little tid bits about where to go, what to do, etc.
Maple syrup is one of the original 'farm to table' products out there; and as an ode to my youth and for those looking for something to do with or without little ones (I plan to go to an event or two), following are some Nor'east Maple Sugar Festivals to check out:
- 17th Annual NY Maple Weekend (March 17, 18, 24, and 25): Producing approximately 565,000 gallons of maple syrup in 2011, the highest production rate in 64 years, the New York State Maple Producers Association's Maple Weekend is chuck full of demonstrations – from boiling sap over an open fire or running it through highly scientific equipment — and family-friendly events.
- 11th Annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend (March 24 – 25, 2012): The largest producer of maple syrup in the US, producing 890,000 gallons of syrup in 2010, the Vermont Maple Open House Weekend is held at sugarhouses throughout the state. The weekend is the public celebration of the state's maple season and a chance for folks to visit sugarhouses throughout the state to learn about Vermont's first agricultural crop of the year. Activities during this free event will be different at each sugarhouse but will include the opportunity to watch maple syrup being made (weather permitting) and to often sample syrup and other maple products.
- 46th Annual Vermont Maple Festival (April 27 – 29, 2012): Held in downtown St. Albans, this celebration is a nod to the end of the maple season in Vermont. Attractions include an Exhibit Hall, a Fiddlers' Variety Show, Sugar House Tours, Pancake Breakfasts, a Sap Run Road Race, Cooking Demonstrations & Contests, a Giant Parade, Maple Creemees, Maple Sugar-on-Snow, and Maple Cotton Candy.
- New Hampshire Maple Weekend (March 24 – 25, 2012): An annual open house held by the approximately 100 sugarhouses throughout New Hampshire, the weekend showcases the maple syrup producers' amber-colored liquid jewel and the products made from it. Various houses will be offering samples of syrup, maple products and refreshments, some complete with petting farms, pancake breakfasts and other family friendly activities.
- 65th Annual Pennsylvania Maple Festival (March 24 – April 1, 2012): Held in Meyersdale, the first festival was held more than 60 years ago. Events include Pancake breakfasts and dinners, a quilt show, the crowning of the Maple Queen and, even, tea with the Queen for the little ones.
While we didn't see any tapping into Maple trees, last weekend was spent in Pennsylvania. As we entered our friend's house, I envisioned a scene from the 'hot air club.' Greetings were made and there was a sudden flurry of activity as everyone shifted spots to make way for the perpetually late Tony and Paula (the big man takes all the heat for that one, as I, being German, personally am just too uptight to continually show up places late – the Stifter clan can stop laughing now). While there, we had a wonderful dinner which was topped off with an amazing selection of desserts, one of which was an absolutely delectable pecan pie, bought at a local shop, The Village Farmer & Bakery. If you're ever in the Delaware Water Gap area, it's definitely worth the stop.
If you check out any of the Maple Syrup festivities, let me know, I'd love to share your findings with others. In the interim, the Vermont Maple Syrup organization has a great site with lots of Maple Syrup recipes, above and beyond pancake syrup, you can try at home.

On 27 May 2018, Nompumelelo Mqwebu, author of the cookbook, 'Through the Eyes of an African Chef' flew the South African flag high when she was announced as the winner of an award for her cookbook that was nominated Best in the World First Book at the renowned Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in Yantai, China.
Nompumelelo took home the prestigious Best in the World For Self-Publishing award from one of the largest international competitions in the industry that aims to honour the best food and wine books as well as food television.
"The whole experience has been nothing short of humbling and surreal. Not only did I get the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the greatest cooks in the culinary industry, but I also had the privilege to represent my country and showcase through my cookbook how Africa's cuisine and ingredients are right up there with the best in the world. And to top it all off – this month is Africa month so it couldn't have happened at a better time," Nompumelelo enthused.
Having hailed from the streets of Umlazi in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal, Nompumelelo said she never imagined that her passion for cooking and food would be her passport to travel internationally let alone compete and win against the best in the world. Before heading to China for the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, Nompumelelo was invited by KZN Tourism to attend the 2018 Travel Indaba where she addressed the hospitality industry about the need to nurture and grow more female talent in culinary sector. "I'm passionate about showing the world what fantastic talent we have in South Africa and in order to achieve the level of excellence that we are capable of – funding and programmes dedicated to mentoring and upskilling local talent is what is required. My journey has certainly not been an easy one and I am so grateful for my family and other key people in my life who have given me the support I have needed to achieve this kind of success," expained Nompumelelo.
The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards were founded in 1995 by Edouard Cointreau. The ceremony provides the perfect opportunity for thousands of enthusiastic cooks, chefs, authors and publishers to come together and share similar interests. Books from 205 countries participate in these prominent awards. Entry is free and open to all languages.

This March my daughter got really sick. We saw many specialists in our area, but then at the end of March we decided to make the trip to a well known hospital for children in Delaware. The specialist there sent my 6 year old for bloodwork. MORE bloodwork. And as soon as the word was mentioned, she went into hysterics. We'd been to the local lab for blood draws so many times, the last one not being so pleasant, that she was at the point of being traumatized. While I tried to relax her anxieties, we just held hands and hoped it would be over fast.
But then everything changed, for the better. The phlebotomist called us back and saw how upset my daughter was. She showed her BUZZY and asked if we wanted to try it, because it was a drug-free pain reliever. We definitely wanted to try it! As she put it on her arm, I started to remember that I'd heard of this before. Do you watch Shark Tank? It was featured on there! I'm so impressed that this local hospital is supporting this entrepreneurs brilliant invention!
Buzzy was strapped to my daughters arm, then was flicked on, creating a vibration. This vibration is intended to confuse the brain. Vibration and ice create different sensations. The medical concept is called gate control – when you send more motion information and cold information through the brain's "gate", only the strongest sensations get through. This is like when a dentist jiggles a jaw, or when you bang your hand with a hammer and shake it, or rub a bumped elbow. You're sending more motion information to the brain, and the pain gets stopped at the gate. Fantastic, right? It works! My crying 6 year old said "oh, what's that?" as they were taking the needle OUT of her arm. She never said "ouch", she never flinched, she didn't even notice she was injected! For real!
So I went right to the website to email the company about how impressed I was and how grateful for Buzzy that I was. And they sent me one for review, wahoo!! Just in time for my other daughters 5-year well visit! I messed up though, I left Buzzy's ice pack wings in my freezer at home, so.much.regret. But I did hold Buzzy® directly on the site for 30-60 seconds, then moved Buzzy® proximal to site keeping Buzzy's switch/head toward the brain during injection. My 5-year old did cry when she got her injection, but she was over it VERY fast. Popped off the table and got ready for our departure!
You can purchase Buzzy on their website. The company has other helpful devices as well. Definitely check them out! I believe Buzzy should be used by every doctor and hospital, not just the 5000+ currently using it! And I am definitely of the 90% that would recommend Buzzy. My pediatrician knew about it from working at CHOP and her nurse was amazed to observe how Buzzy worked. I'll be that "Buzzy-toting-mama" every time one of my 4 cherubs need a needle of any kind. I am a believer!!!!

Over a billion customers wear their products across 130 countries and they employ 65,000 people around the world. With headquarters in Dallas, TX, they operate 120 smaller offices across the country, with 8,500 employees working in a mix of corporate, lab, and manufacturing roles.
The company's top-down commitment to innovation and inclusion is reflected in its hiring philosophy and ever-changing approach to employee benefits management and communications. Ryan Murry, Essilor's US Director of Benefits, explains that relying on traditional methods wasn't effectively connecting their distributed, diverse, and multilingual workforce to the "complex world of benefits."
"Most people don't understand benefits very well," he says, "and it was difficult to get in front of everybody with the core messages we're trying to deliver. We tried to do as many meetings and webinars as possible, but people just didn't pay attention to many of the communications we sent out." Moving to the digital realm, where employees spend a lot of time as consumers, was the obvious answer—and in 2012, Essilor's benefits team began their transformation with the adoption of a web-based open enrollment process.
An Eye-Opening Open Enrollment Evolution
Even after moving the benefits enrollment process to the Cloud, recalls Murry, "we still sent a paper benefits guide to employees, and very few people read it. We saw an opportunity, heading into 2017, to reach employees more effectively by leveraging technology to change the way we communicated information." The company has multiple employee segments with different benefits, and different language preferences.
"We wanted a better way—a more tailored way—to educate employees on their benefits and promote active participation in benefits selection. And we felt like we needed to jump in full-scale and not go halfway," Murry says. They decided to use GuideSpark Communicate Cloud to deliver multi-channel campaigns to five different employee groups, with a Spanish-language experience for each one.
Working with a GuideSpark communication strategist, Murry's team developed a four-week campaign timeline comprised of customized email messages, postcard mailers, and digital posters with SMS codes for employees with easier access to mobile phones than computers. "We started a couple of weeks before enrollment with topics like 'The Value of Benefits' and 'Choosing a Medical Plan' to get people ready," reports Murry, "and continued through the two-week enrollment period with an 'Enrollment Checklist,' 'Cost Scenarios,' and other topics to keep them interested."
Murry explains that while they relied mostly on email for communicating important messages, "posters and postcards with SMS short codes were great for hourly employees who either don't have a computer at work or who primarily use a mobile phone."
A Clearer View of Engagement, Participation, and Savings
Their new approach to communications yielded positive feedback from employees, and the results speak for themselves: 96% of employees engaged with the communications. Murry's team reviewed their GuideSpark analytics to see how many users were reached, what content was viewed or downloaded, and what drove the most action. "We knew people were exploring more than just the piece of content that was promoted in the email," says Murry, who adds that, "switching to digital communications eliminated our need for a paper benefits guide and third-party consultants and saved us $45,000!" Moving forward, Essilor is using this new approach to communicate with new hires.

Murder by baseball bat, kidnapping for ransom, and fights with Russian gangsters. If this was writer Jess Brittain's first serving on Skins, who knows what she has in store for us in her new series, Clique.
The BBC Three show, premiering on Sunday, March 5, follows students Holly and Georgia through their tumultuous first year at university in Edinburgh. Though attached at the hip in their first weeks, the pair becomes divided once Georgia begins spending time with an elite girl group led by lecturer Jude McDermid. The clique beckons Georgia into an elusive world of alpha women: a high-intensity environment which transfixes and transforms her. Georgia's ascension into the upper echelons of Edinburgh's business society leaves Holly excluded and struggling for a place in their clique. The Student got the chance to talk to creator, writer and producer Jess Brittain about her view of Edinburgh, the struggles of university students, and her vision for the series.
Billed as a psychological thriller, Clique promises to explore dark territory akin to Brittain's previous show. Brittain addressed the Skins comparison from the outset. Despite the starkly different premises, she asserts that the show will be stylistically similar. The Clique team is "heading into danger rather than away from it… aiming to tell relatable stories and not shy away from things that are a little bit controversial."
Even before premiering, Clique has ruffled feathers. Social media websites lit up this week in response to the promo for the series, with some condemning the teaser as problematic. "You're a woman. That means nothing" says Jude McDermid, played by Louise Brealey, at the open of the promo. She goes on to introduce the Solasta Women's Initiative, the elite group of female university students pushing an alternative vision of 'feminism' which requires the girls to "man up" in order to join. Her voice is layered over snapshots from the series: girls in shimmering dresses dancing in a club, a man pushing a girl against a wall, a girl crying in a bathtub. "Have what it takes? Show me." McDermid commands, alluding to the dark depths which she will push the women to in the series.
When asked about the aims of the promo, Brittain said that they matched her intentions for the show itself: to provoke conversation. She describes how "There was a feeling at Clique that sometimes the difficult, the offensive, the triggering conversations can be a good thing… something which beneficial stuff can come out of". Brittain's team intends to tackle taboo topics head on.
For Brittain, Edinburgh is emblematic of the societal tensions that Clique seeks to explore. In an interview for the National Student, she called it a "city of dichotomies", pointing to the divides between the "old and new, monied and not, tourist and local, beautiful and scary". Edinburgh, according to Brittain, has a mysterious, disorienting quality that serves as a vivid geographic analogue for the "insecurity and discombobulation" that Clique tries to capture.
Notably, Brittain sees the class divide in the University of Edinburgh's student population as "key to the piece". This dynamic is by no means exclusive to the University of Edinburgh, she argued, but there is a clear split present between the privileged, monied groups and those who don't share that background.
However, despite Brittain's interest in the dichotomy, the show is firmly grounded in the world of the elites.
Brittain shared her support for the push for diversity in television, but stated: "I am a middle white class woman… I'm writing from that perspective so there is going to be a large element of that in my work". Similar feminist alpha 'cliques' have recently entered the mainstream, as seen both in life by Taylor Swift's 'gang of girlfriends' and on screen in Lena Dunham's group on Girls. This emerging brand of Hollywood-propagated feminism has been met with denunciation, with critics often arguing that the 'cliques' only elevate affluent white women. When asked if she was commenting on this trend, Brittain asserted that she doesn't want the show to be didactic: "I try not to be emblematic in my work… what I aim to do is not put forward the 'right' depiction of femininity or the 'right' depiction of being a young person, I just want to hold up something to be discussed.
"Clique is less preoccupied with literal wealth" claimed Brittain. According to her, the girls of the clique are from a variety of backgrounds. The show primarily centres around their shared "opportunity in Edinburgh's business world to be high flying".
Alhough Clique represents only one niche of the University population, Brittain is keenly aware of the struggles that the wider student body faces. While researching for Clique Brittain met with many Edinburgh students, observing afterwards that "It is a much harder world to be a young person in these days… [University] upped its stakes, it's much more intense, it's much more inaccessible".
Brittain's own struggles as a student at the University of Leeds have informed her writing on the show. The creation of Jude McDermid, for example, was a product of her reflection on the "significance of strong women in authority positions" which she would "simultaneously hate" while "desperately wanting to impress".
Of course, the 'clique of mean girls' is a television trope which has been done to death. Nearly every television program about young women features the stock type: glamorous and cruel, often seen terrorising an underdog lead. But, in Clique the girl group does not simply play the role of antagoniser. By focusing on Holly and Georgia's fraught relationship with the group, the series delves into more complicated territory, blurring the lines between good and evil. Not to mention, audiences may be used to seeing shows about cliques, but rarely is the Queen Bee of the group an adult, let alone a lecturer. The series invokes age-old tropes and plot points, but it explores them from a new perspective, potentially finding new insights in an old format.
It is unlikely that the day-to-day banality of university life – the nights spent in the library, the trudging to and from lectures, eating soup for dinner several nights in a row – will be featured on the show. Looking around at the hanging laundry in my flat, I see an abundance of ratty jumpers hanging up, but there is not a single slinky sequined dress in sight. So, they may not look like us, and their lives may hardly match up. "[Clique] is upped, it's very glossy and that is not representative of a lot of University experience," says Brittain. But, she argues that this will not necessarily prevent students from enjoying the series, as she believes that the "high dynamic… gives you the opportunity to tell stories which resonate on some level with people".
Clique, like Skins, edits out the mundane aspects of life, presenting instead a heightened, distilled version of youth. The drug-fueled adventures, endless love affairs, and climactic deaths of Skins are certainly not commonplace for the average British teen. Yet, the immense popularity of the series was due to these elements; some even praised Skins for its gritty realism.
Clique is slickly packaged, creating a glossy depiction of student life that, for many, will seem a far cry from reality. But, with their fresh take on an old trope, the series may be worth watching. Considering that I spent the whole of today writing this article in pyjamas, I'm not convinced that a realistic take on university life would be all that entertaining anyway.

If the civil service is to build on the progress it has made in managing equality, diversity and inclusion, in future it should place greater emphasis on departments' valuing and maximizing the contribution of every member of their staff. This is more likely to deliver the business benefits than solely a focus on levels of representation of groups with 'protected characteristics', according to the NAO.
Today's report by the spending watchdog also concludes that the Cabinet Office is not using the data it holds on staff demographics and perceptions to manage workforce changes and hold departments to account.
According to the spending watchdog, against a backdrop of fiscal consolidation and significant staff reductions, diversity and inclusion are crucial to the success of any reforms to the civil service and the better performance and productivity benefits they can bring.
Over time there have been improvements in levels of representation of three (female, minority ethnic, disability) of the 'protected diversity characteristics' but this has slowed more recently and there remain issues at senior grades. For example:
- The overall proportion of women in the civil service was 53% (at March 2014). At a senior level, their representation has increased steadily, from 15% in 1996 to 38% in 2014; and the percentage of female departmental permanent secretaries is 35% (6 out of 17).
- Minority ethnic representation in the civil service increased from 4% in 1988 to 10% in 2014, but this is still 2 percentage points below the overall percentage of the working population who are minority ethnic; their representation in the senior civil service is lower, 7% in 2014.
- Representation of people with disabilities in the senior civil service continues to remain low (5% in 2014), after some initial progress.
The Cabinet Office has found that some people are leaving the civil service because they find the culture exclusive. Staff surveys indicate significant differences in perception between some diverse groups. For example, female and minority ethnic respondents feel significantly more engaged than their immediate peers at lower grades but the opposite holds true at senior grades. Also staff with long term health conditions feel less engaged and, moreover, are more likely to feel discriminated against, bullied or harassed, as are lesbian, gay, bisexual civil servants at the most junior grades.
The Cabinet Office commissioned research to gain greater understanding of the problems. This identified as significant barriers, first, poor accountability and, secondly, confusion over roles and responsibilities for diversity and inclusion. The NAO found that only just over one-third (37%) of permanent secretaries had equality, diversity and inclusion among their personal objectives.
A series of previous diversity strategies has not led to sustainable change to the approach in the civil service and there was an 18-month gap between the end of the previous diversity strategy and the publication of the current one, the Talent Action Plan, in September 2014. The Plan was designed to ensure that the best people progress in the civil service. It acknowledges the importance of inclusion but actions under the Plan are restricted to four under-represented groups and it does not bring out the impact that inclusion and diversity can have on business outcomes or for its staff. The Cabinet Office is, however, developing a delivery plan in which it intends to set out a new accountability framework, but the details of the plan are not yet complete.

Nashville's Democratic congressman voted for a Republican to be Speaker of the House (today/yesterday), though not Rep. John Boehner.
In a roll call vote of all 435 members of the U.S. House, Rep. Jim Cooper split with the party line. Instead of voting for Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, he called out the name of a retired four-star Army General.
CLERK: "Cooper…Colin Powell."
In a written statement after the vote, Cooper points out that the speaker does not have to be a member of the House. He says the Republican and former Secretary of State has a "proven ability to work across the aisle and has supported President Obama."
Cooper was the only Colin Powell supporter, however there were more than a dozen other protest votes. Cooper himself received two votes for speaker. Also an outgoing congressman and a former comptroller were named along the way.
The rest of Tennessee's congressional delegation supported their party's nominee.

A week ago, there's a bit of a commotion in the SEO community that prompted some to conclude that Google had at last rolled out its most anticipated algorithm update which is Penguin 4.0. But, after careful checking, reliable sources and even Googlers themselves confirmed that it's not Penguin yet. Googler Gary Illyes also confirmed it on his tweet.
So, what really happened?
For those who haven't caught up yet with this latest algorithm roll out, here's a quick flashback on what had transpired last week.
On the 11th of this month, Joost de Valk, founder of Yoast, reported that they've witnessed the biggest and most dramatic changes in Google rankings in the last few years. At first he taught that it's the most awaited Penguin update, but later on he corrected himself and concluded that it's a Google core algorithm update. Here's what he wrote on his blog.
"So… What changed? We don't know. The changes are… Weird. We've been using a couple of datasets to look at this update, but most of all we're looking at SearchMetrics. They publish a list of winners and losers every week and this week the changes seem to have happened mostly for news sites, specifically for brand terms."
Joost is actually referring to the sudden fluctuation of the SERPs (search engine result pages) that mostly affected news websites wherein brand keywords are the target.
Likewise, on the day before that, Dan Petrovic of DejanSEO.com, has a bit similar observation.
"It looks like Penguin, but it's broader in its scope so at this stage it appears to be a multi-purpose update encompassing a range of search quality parameters. From webmaster reports we know this update carries global impact."
Link Research Tools and Search Engine RoundTable also have the similar observations.
But, are there proofs that what Google rolled out or tested was the Brand Bidding Algorithm?
Some experts in the industry concluded that the search giant rolled out an update for its Brand Bidding algorithm, but there are also those who are not convinced.
Joost de Valk is not convinced with the brand bidding algorithm and he quickly explained it in the following blog post.
"Bartosz has written a good post (with tons of interesting screenshots if you don't have access to SearchMetrics), that touches on some of the things I had seen too. He calls it a "brand bidding update", which I don't think is right. I do agree with him that the change was in the type of results that Google shows for brand queries. The switch seems to have been from news articles to more "timeless" URLs."
Our take about this latest unnamed roll out.
This core algorithm update is really something that should be analyzed more deeply. As of this writing, we noticed that there are only a very few who tried to dig more data to find out what really it is. Google hasn't released any statement yet about it and what we mostly read online are just mere speculations and unconfirmed conclusions.
Despite the confusions, we think the roll out last week was part of Google's core algorithm update that they regularly release every now and then, but that one is really big. And, basing on how it affects branded key terms, it is definitely not related to the much anticipated Penguin 4.0 update. But, we can't really say that we are right. Let us end this article with this interesting comment from one of the members of a Black Hat forum.
"There have been massive SERP changes/fluctuations since September/October of 2015. For all we know, Google has been silently rolling out the new Penguin algorithm all this time. It is in their best interest not to announce its rollout when it is actually happening and instead wait for it to roll out, the SERPs to stabilize and then "announce" that they have implemented it. This way they get to avoid the massive PR sh*tstorm which always takes place when they announce large algo updates the moment they take place. Why do you think Matt Cutts is no longer the spokesperson for these updates? They learned that it is better to just be as vague as possible and/or keep everyone in the dark when it comes to large updates."
Lastly, on the 16th of this month, another massive core algorithm update has been rolled out by Google and it is called "Burj Khalifa". Google has been very sneaky these past few months. Fortunately for them (and unfortunately for us) they always have the upper hand if they wanted to announce the release of their big algorithm roll outs or not. Now, it's your turn to create a conclusion.

Ben Affleck wants to become America's next Batman in 2015. But what do we really know about Ben Affleck?
He claims he was born in California. And then he claims he was born in Berkeley. Well, which is it, Ben Affleck? Is he even American? Has anyone seen his birth certificate? Do we want a man born in – oh, I don't know – Kenya, to be in the sacred Batcave? For all we know, Ben Affleck's parents are alive and well!
If the rumors I've started are true, Ben Affleck hates America. How much does he hate America? Ben Affleck was personally involved in Pearl Harbor, one of the largest attacks on America. Do we want this kind of man instilling fear in the hearts of our criminals?
Did you know that there is no anagram for "Ben Affleck"? Looks like someone tried a little too hard to come up with a fake name. Right, Ben Affleck? Because even a fake name like "Sean Penn" comes up with "I want to destroy America!"
As a Bather, I won't rest until I see Ben Affleck's birth certificate. And even then, I can't promise that I'll be satisfied. Apparently he received an honorary doctorate from Brown University. SO NOW HE CAN PERFORM SURGERY ON INNOCENT AMERICANS! Well, let's see those honorary college transcripts, Dr. Ben Affleck. Next thing you know, he's going to tell us how we should be getting our medical care.
Is everything a reindeer game to you, Ben Affleck?
How would you feel if Santa Claus was portrayed by Tim Allen or if Jesus was played by someone like Jim Caviezel? Batman is too precious and sacred to Americans to be played by just anyone. The next thing you know, Batman will be played by an Englishman! Doesn't anyone read the Bible anymore?
Please sign this petition. If we can get 100,000 people to sign, then Ben Affleck will know that 100,000 people (some even real) want to see his birth certificate, which might make him feel weird and slightly uncomfortable.

If you'd like to share some kind words and smiles, please ask our front desk staff for a comment card at your next appointment. We'd love to hear about your experience!
Happy Dental Hygienist! As a dental hygienist of 20+ years I am so impressed with the knowledge of Dr. Varghese and his staff. My 9 year old daughter looks so forward to her orthodontic visits. Her crowding and narrow palate were a big concern and when we had our consult with Dr. Varghese 10 months ago I was informed of the importance of Phase 1. As a hygienist I learned the importance of early interceptive treatment and I'm amazed of her beautiful smile in just 10 short months. I highly recommend Dr. Varghese and his staff for all your orthodontic needs. Many thanks to Dr.Varghese and his wonderful caring staff!
— Lucy
Love, love, love this place. Both my kids (9 and 7) have been treated by Dr.Varghese and his wonderful staff. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Dr. Varghese is always hands-on to make sure you know exactly what is happening along the way. They make everyone feel so warm and welcome. I would never go anywhere else.
— Pam
Thrilled with this orthodontic office! We have been extremely happy with the whole experience from Varghese Orthodontics. Dr. Varghese always keeps us in the loop on the treatment progress. 2 of my children have finished and they look fabulous. Now I have them on and it is a lot easier with the Damon type braces that I have on. We will continue to highly recommend Varghese Orthodontics.
— Stacy
I am extremely happy with the staff and Dr. Varghese! From our initial visit, I was impressed with his professionalism and ability to relay information to not only myself but to both my girls regarding their braces. I have recommened him to many friends as the BEST ortho in the area! I also LOVE that his staff runs appointments on time and that I have never ever had to wait! That is truly important with three kids and a busy schedule!!

Highly recommended for adult orthodontia! Dr. Varghese and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and go out of their way to make me feel comfortable during each visit. Thanks to Varghese Orthodontics, my teeth look great! Thanks for giving me back my smile!!
— Anita
Dr. Varghese is our orthodontist and he is outstanding. My 2nd child is now in braces with him. He is very knowledgeable and always takes his time to answer all of my questions. My son had a tooth that was embedded in his palate and it came in great. He loves his smile and is now in retainers. We love the work Dr. Varghese has done for him. The office is brand new and exceptional. We are very happy that he has opened an office closer to us in Huntley. Highly recommend!!
— Stephanie
This offiice has supported my whole family, and we have had nothing but the best care with the added value of the personal experience. We are welcomed by name with a smile every time. My daughter has such a beautiful smile and we are working on to the next. Great team, great experience.
— Rachelle
Varghese Orthodontics is fabulous. My daughter had a bad smile and a shy personality. Today when the braces came off she was beaming with joy! A huge transformation! Every time we come to the office they are kind and QUICK! Never have to wait and sit around. I highly recommend the office to everyone looking into treatment.

Baylor women go from record-setting NCAA win to Cal rematch
WACO, Texas (AP) — California coach Lindsay Gottlieb really didn't have to watch to know just how good top-seeded Baylor is.
An overwhelming first-round victory, and the 30 wins before that by the Big 12 Lady Bears, only reinforced what Gottlieb thought about the team Cal plays next in the women's NCAA Tournament.
"They're like a WNBA team. ... They have pros on the floor, they're very in synch with one another and they do a great job," Gottlieb said Sunday. "Just digging in the film obviously, there as legit as I thought they were."
Before California (20-13) held on to beat LSU in the first round on Baylor's home court, Gottlieb had watched less than a half of top-seeded Baylor's record-setting game.
Now Cal and Baylor play Monday night for trip to Oklahoma City and a spot in the Sweet 16.
Baylor (31-3) overwhelmed NCAA first-timer Texas Southern 119-30 to advance. Those were the most points ever scored in regulation of a women's NCAA Tournament game, and the most-lopsided tourney game ever played. All 12 Baylor players who got in the game scored and had at least one rebound, and all but one had an assist.
"What this team has done is challenged me to stay on my toes because we've got so many that can play. You usually can figure out your rotation after about a month of practice," coach Kim Mulkey said. "This team just has so much talent I can't do that. It's game-to-game. It's who we play. It's who is playing good."
Baylor is hosting the first two rounds for the fifth straight season, and has won all of those games so far. That includes a second-round win over Cal in 2014.
Still, the Golden Bears from California aren't backing down from the challenge of facing Baylor again in March.
"I've just never been as excited to practice as I am," the Cal coach said. "Because why not, why not take a shot at being able to make history or bring this team in here and try to do something that's unexpected."
Some other things to know about the second-round matchup:
NO PAIN, BIG GAIN: Baylor senior guard Alexis Jones said she felt good Sunday, with "no pain, no swelling" a day after playing for the first time since Feb. 20 because of a bone bruise in her surgically repaired left knee. Jones played 12 minutes Saturday night. "Just exciting to let me know that I'm back out there playing again," said Jones, who could be back in the starting lineup Monday night.
STILL NERVOUS: Cal guard Asha Thomas and forward Kristine Anigwe both had talked about being nervous at the start of their first NCAA Tournament game. Thomas then scored 18 points on six 3-pointers, while Anigwe had 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots. But that didn't exactly calm the nerves of the sophomore duo. "More nerves, bigger game ... We're just going to try to do everything we can to be calm and steady," Anigwe said Sunday. Added Thomas, "Again, I will be nervous."
FERRELL FAREWELL: Nina Davis, an undersized post player who became an AP All-American and three-time All-Big 12 player, will play her final home game. Davis has been part of a 75-5 record in the Ferrell Center, including seven straight NCAA Tournament wins. "It's a bittersweet moment," Davis said. "Baylor has been great to me."
REWIND TO 2014: In the second-round matchup three years ago, Odyssey Sims had 27 points in her final home game as Baylor won 75-56. Only two current Baylor players and one from California played in that game. Davis had 13 points and Khadijiah Cave 10 for Baylor, while Courtney Range had six points and five rebounds for Cal.
G'DAY FOR WALLACE: There are some Baylor fans from Australia in the stands. Kristy Wallace's family made the 16-hour flight to be in Waco, including her dad and two step-sisters, ages 8 and 9. "Very blessed to have my family here," Wallace said. "It's a big effort and a big trip to make."

Resolution: Fixed
Component/s: email-ext-plugin
Similar Issues:
It would be cool if there was a button on a job's summary screen that you could click to Watch the issue, so you were notified when certain changes happened instead of having to configure the job and add yourself to the email list.
Could even take it one step further and under the user's options, allow them to set default Watch options.
I've enabled the option in system configuration, but can't find any Watch option on the project page in Jenkins. And there is no documentation for this feature on the main help page for this plugin. Only cursory mention of it in the revision history.
Never mind. I found it where I didn't expect it. It's not in the main navigation on the top left, but you'll find it when you scroll down the categories in the job summary itself. I was looking at a multi-job so had to scroll down below the display of job status.
There still should have been some documentation added for the feature.

In seeking my own YouTube success I have learned a lot about becoming a YouTube producer as a career choice and just how realistic it is to do so. In this article I want to share what I have learned.Credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:YouTube_Logo.svg
I first started making YouTube videos seriously in June 2012 and within two months I realized that there was a lot of potential for making this a serious income stream. In July I made one video that made over $50 in it's first month, and the video was only about ten minutes long. I had another couple of videos later that month that each made between and $5 and $30 that month as well and pretty much every video I uploaded made at least something through Adsense.
This was incredibly exciting and I knew that there was something special going on here and I saw the potential for success that even a novice can have when they make the right videos. Over the next few months I tried a variety of different video styles and topics whilst trying to improve my production abilities. While doing this I started to notice something else very exciting - the videos I had uploaded in the first two months had kept earning as the views continued to trickle in. As I built up a larger library of content the income stream, views and subscribers kept growing.
ZiggyD's May/June YouTube Income and Strategy Report
The above video is one of my first ever income reports where I share how I went each month in terms of views, subscribers and earnings whilst sharing some of what I did during the month. This was around the time that I decided to seriously commit to making YouTube work for me.
How Do You Earn Money On YouTube?
It would be pretty hard to have a legitimate career making videos for YouTube if you could't potentially earn a living doing so. Chances are that you have probably heard about networks and partnerships such as TGS and Machinima but YouTube has actually extended the ability to earn to just about anyone over 18 now.
Adsense Monetization
In the past you could only earn if you were partnered with an official network but around the end of 2011 YouTube started to roll out Adsense monetization as an option to just about any YouTuber. Nowadays anyone who can make an Adsense account can monetize their YouTube content with Google Adsense advertising.
Once you are set up you start earning for ad impressions and ad clicks from the people that watch your videos. The more people that watch your videos then the more chances you have to earn. In the end less than 50% of the people that watch your video might only end up earning you something, but this can really add up when you start to get thousands of viewers a month (or day).
How to Enable Adsense Monetization on Your YouTube Account
What Type of Content Can You Monetize?
Anything that doesn't contain copyright content and is your original content can be monetized with Adsense. However, you can now also monetize gaming content if you have express permission from the game's creator or if it is an 'educational or entertaining' commentary. This means 95% of the video needs to have your audio commentary over the top of it.
You cannot monetize videos that contain someone else's music, including gameplay commentaries.
How Much Can You Earn?
Watching my YouTube income reports can give you a general idea of how much you can earn but the truth is there isn't an accurate way to predict how much your ad views will be worth or how much each video will earn. I have had videos with 10,000+ views that have earned only a few dollars and videos with only a couple of thousand views that have earned a lot more. Adsense doesn't let publishers get too specific details, so that is the best information I can give you.
However, I can say this: the more videos you make and the more views you get the more reliable the income becomes. In the first two months my earnings were very erratic but since then I can fairly accurately chart how much my channels will earn overall based on how many videos I upload - you really have to take a macromanagement approach to it.
I can also say this: compared to the time I have put into some videos I have earned a very good hourly rate. Some of my videos have equaled out to a wage of more that $25 per hour. I don't really look at this sort of work as an hourly wage thing because I spend a lot of hours doing other things like networking, but it's nice to know when videos really pay off like this.
Treating Your YouTube Career as a Legitimate Profession
What Does it Take to Have a Successful Career on YouTube?
Persistance is really the biggest thing. You need to be able to keep making videos even when you don't feel like it and even when you get really negative comments. All of the following things are important, but persistence is the one thing that all successful YouTube producers have in common.
Time Management
This is one I struggle with but having good time management will make a huge difference. You need to be able to dedicate time to researching videos, making videos, editing audio and video footage, uploading, writing descriptions/titles/tags, promoting your work, and networking with people in your niche. It's a lot to do everyday and it takes a lot of management to get enough done each day, especially if you are still doing full time work while you get things up and running.
Passion and the Ability to Become Passionate About Things You Have to Do
Passion for what you are making videos about is absolutely necessary to be successful as it is what feeds into your persistence. You also need to be able to become passionate about the new things you have to do, including the process of making videos and networking.
Basic Recording and Editing Software and Hardware
You cannot get very far without at least a basic microphone, camera, computer and a decent internet connection. You will also need to get some basic editing software, though YouTube has a basic in built one you can use if you need to. Start simple and add things as you find you need them. $100 to $250 should be more than enough to get anyone started.
The Ability to Find Trends and Research Topics
You can get lucky just by making unique and good quality content but it's much easier to get started if you know how to figure out what people want to see. I got started by making Diablo 3 videos leading up to, and after the release of the game and these videos have been hugely successful. If you are making video game content then you should start with smaller videos and guides before taking on a large series such as a let's play (they are much more difficult then they appear).
Where to From Here?
The first thing to do is to start thinking about what you love and how you can turn that into videos that other people want to see. Then start researching as much as you can about YouTube success and strategy while you make your first few videos. You might not really get much attention in the beginning but you have to get started in order to find out what you don't know.
Feel free to contact me here or on YouTube if you have any questions about my YouTube career or if you want advice on your own. I always read things that people send me and sometimes I even respond with a video. Goodluck!

The proximity to the sea with constant ventilation make Jaddico the most representative estate of the Rubino family
Located along the Adriatic coast, 8 km north of Brindisi, it covers a total area of 110 hectares. In Jaddico there are Negroamaro, black Malvasia, white Malvasia, Primitivo and Susumaniello. The proximity to the sea and constant ventilation are distinctive features of the estate, which together with the nearby Marmorelle was an integral part of an ancient Roman fundus. Archaeological excavations have brought to light the old manor house and the kilns where Visellio, the ancient owner of the estate, cooked the wine amphorae. Already in Roman times, in fact, Jaddico was home of a wonderful vineyard and an important production center for wine containers, then found throughout the Mediterranean basin.

Marghany, Maged (2010) Examining the least square method to retrieve sea surface salinity from MODIS satellite data. European Journal of Scientific Research, 40 (3). 377 -386. ISSN 1450-216X
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.eurojournals.com/ejsr_40_3_06.pdf.
In this study, we investigate the relative ability of least square algorithm to retrieve sea surface salinity (SSS) from MODIS satellite data. We also examine with comprehensive comparison of the root mean square of bias the difference between second polynomial order algorithm and least square algorithm. Both the least squares and algorithm second polynomial order algorithm are used to retrieve the sea surface salinity (SSS) from multi MODIS bands data. Thus, the basic linear model has been solved by using second polynomial order algorithm and least square estimators. The accuracy of this work has been examined using the root mean square of bias of sea surface salinity retrieved from MODIS satellite data and the in situ measurements that are collected along the east coast of peninsular Malaysia by using hydrolab instrument. The study shows comprehensive relationship between least square method and in situ SSS measurements with high r2 of 0.96 and RMS of bias value of ±0.37 psu. The second polynomial order algorithm, however, has lower performance as compared to least square algorithm. Thus, RMS of bias value of ± 7.34 psu has performed with second polynomial order algorithm. In conclusions, the least square algorithm can be used to retrieve SSS from MODIS satellite data.
