Transform Your Security Marking Technology With Lasers
Laser marking has come a long way in the last few years and it is now possible to engrave a plastic, metal or ceramic surface with any design. The accuracy and detail available when using lasers, now means that laser marking is not just used for security reasons. It is also for aesthetic reasons; such as a company logo. Marking technology is great for business because it uses lasers to engrave products and make them unique.
Uses of laser marking
Asset tracking is one of the biggest uses of laser marking. A product which is engraved by a laser can be tracked or located easily. It can be useful in a warehouse to identify the right tool or piece of equipment or it can be used as a security measure to deter theft. The US government now makes use of laser marking through the Unique Identification Program. This program allows the government to track the purchase and location of any piece of equipment. This improves traceability and accountability.
Laser marking is also often seen on firearms. Part of this is the same security, tracking and accountability information which is important to the US government. The other side of this is the aesthetical, owners of these weapons often like to have their own logo engraved onto them and this is possible with laser marking.
There are a great many industries which make use of laser marking; the technology is clean, precise and permanent. It helps business keep records of their supplies, and thus minimize theft and loss.
- Medical – tools and equipment are marked for tracking and security purposes. Laser markings are impervious to temperature changes or sterilization processes.
- Medical – implants are marked to allow traceability and accountability. The laser marking can be performed on almost any surface, even flexible and will not be easily destroyed.
- Aerospace materials – Many of the materials involved in aerospace are sensitive and can be damaged by traditional engraving methods. This is not an issue when using laser marking. The same is true of automotive parts.
- Jewelry – This is the most effective way to mark jewellery without damaging the finished product. It is also one of the few methods than can be easily used on items which are generally too small for traditional engraving methods.
- Electronic parts – These can be very easily damaged by many engraving procedures. A laser marking device will allow these parts to be traced and dated without causing damage.
Aside from the obvious benefits of security and tracking there are other advantages to using laser engraving instead of other methods:
Laser engraving can be performed on any material, such as; gold, silver, brass, copper, aluminum, plastics and even medical grade alloy.
Many alternatives will potentially fade over time and be hard to identify. Laser marking does not suffer from this issue. It is etched into the product and will not wear away; even high temperatures will not affect it.
A laser marking machine can be programmed by a computer to engrave almost any design. This means that it can be used in a wide variety of places and can open a huge avenue of potential advertising venues that may otherwise be difficult to utilize.
Traditional engraving can be difficult to do on a micro scale. A laser is capable of engraving something with a code so small that only a computer or possibly a microscope can actually read the inscription. This makes it useful on even the smallest surface and as a particularly useful deterrent to theft.
A laser inscription will be crystal clear in every detail whether it is the beginning or the end of the engraving. This will ensure that any design or marking is perfectly legible and opens the opportunity to using this as a means of advertising or of adding a mark of distinction to a high end product.
Keeping your business safe and your products secure is now easier than ever. Laser technology devices should exist in every company; use them to make logos and benefit from original, exclusive items. By having products engraved you ensure that they're 100% yours; clients will have no more doubts, and your business will thrive.

Despite what you may think of Go 8 Bit, if you're an old fart and are into hearing a bit of gaming chat on a podcast with an interview set up (a la Adam Buxton and Marc Maron) then give Steve McNeil's "Let's do a Gaming" a shot.
The name is annoying and the intro music makes me want to shove bees in my ears but he's had some good industry and well-known names on so far.
He's one of the regulars on the show in case you didn't know.

*These are a small sampling of over 150 five star reviews we've received from our clients. We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional client experience, but don't take our word for it, check out our reviews on Google and Avvo.
"To put it bluntly, Steve saved my life. There really are no words to adequately express my gratitude to Steve and his incredible staff. So, to give this review teeth, I think you first need to know the seriousness of the charges. I was falsely and deliberately accused of horrible and unthinkable acts. Charged with attempted murder in the 1st degree and 1st degree assault with a deadly weapon. Never having been in any kind of trouble, my knowledge of the legal system was limited and naive at best. I honestly thought they would investigate and it would all be over in a few days. I was wrong.
The first lawyer I hired wanted to "just make a deal" for 16-48 years in a state prison and collect his fee. The D.A. at Jefferson County…well let's just say I had completely lost my faith in the great American legal system. After I fired my first lawyer and refused to make a deal and admit guilt to something I did not do, my family and I started searching for a lawyer outside of Jefferson county. We found Steve Rodemer!
From our first meeting he made me feel comfortable. I felt like I was with a Rugby buddy or sitting with my brother. I no longer felt like a case number or a file. Steve reminded me of the beauty of the American legal system. I am innocent until proven guilty. His confidence gave me confidence and more importantly, hope. Steve did more in the first week after taking my case then my previous lawyer did in the whole year of his so called representation of me.
Steve and his staff conducted a full and thorough investigation of everything and everyone, including me. He filed multiple motions on my behalf. He interviewed potential expert witnesses. Hell, he probably could have been his own expert witness, with his exceptional understanding of forensics. At every pre-trial hearing I felt more and more confident having Steve standing next to me. I actually felt like I was being represented, like I actually had a voice In the system. Steve made only one promise – "I will fight all the way" and he did! The way Steve interacted with my children and I, made us feel like he was personally vested in our family and our future. Steve's actions, his speech, his emotions, it all made us feel like he wasn't just fighting for his client, but fighting for a member of his family.
One of his more impressive qualities is his quick thinking and flexibility, which he exhibited during trial quite effectively. The way Steve handled himself at the trial was professional and yet so human. His interaction with the judge, the jury and the prosecution was amazing to watch, considering he had very little knowledge of the inner workings of Jefferson County courts. In the end, thanks to Steve and months of hard work, he and his team put in, the jury came back with a full acquittal, NOT GUILTY on all charges. When I tried to thank him, he just looked at me with that sideways grin of his and said – "I knew you were innocent, I just had to show them that…" Well Steve showed them! He executed his duties as my advocate with honor, class, dignity and professionalism. I owe Steve Rodemer a debt of gratitude I can never repay.
Thank you Steve, Emily, Andy and the rest of your amazing staff!"
Posted by Rene, a Domestic Violence Client client
"Steven Rodemer is no doubt the best way to go. He actually cares about who he represents and goes way out of his way to assure that clients are happy. I was worried about what was going to happen to my name and my future until I hired Steven. After talking to him on our first meeting I was completely at ease. You CANNOT go wrong hiring him, if you're in a situation that you need legal help, the smart move would be to hire Steven. I assure you that you will be thankful you did. He saved my name and my future! Steven went way out of his way to buy me a home surveillance system because of the issues I was having with an ex. What attorney do you know that is as professional as Steven and actually cares so much about his clients to do something like this?…. Exactly. Even a year down the road after everything blew over, Steven contacted me to make sure I was okay and everything was going smoothly for me. What a guy, such a great guy. Thanks Steven, thank you so much."
Posted by Shelby, a Domestic Violence Client client
"I would emphatically recommend Steve. My case came out so much better than I ever would have guessed. On my first meeting with him, prior to having my alcohol level, he laid out various scenarios about what we would do in differing situations. Sure enough, he did exactly what he said he would, only better. He lived up to every expectation. What really solidified my opinion was one morning in Court. I arrived about 30 minutes early and watched what was happening in to every other case. It seemed like everyone got the same deal regardless of the attorney, even other attorneys I had interviewed were just parading their clients up to the front and pleading guilty. Steve got to court and the Judge promptly called my case. Steve commanded the courtroom, explaining for the prosecutor why my DUI case was being pled down to a simple speeding ticket. The Judge didn't bat an eye and accepted the plea (which I found out later is not normally allowed). After we were done as we were walking away, the Judge asked Steve about his baby, it was very clear to me that Steve is well liked and very well respected by everyone at the courthouse. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who would listen."
By Kourtney, a DUI client
"Steve explained the legal aspects of my case in terms I could understand. He was thorough and displayed excellent knowledge of the law. In addition, he was knowledgeable about the local ins and outs…he kept me in the know which minimized my concerns. If you want a fair shake, he is the man to get it for you."
By Dick, a Criminal Defense client
"Highly recommended. I was scared out of my mind, Steve put me at ease right away. The outcome of my case was better than I thought it would be. He kept me I the loop the whole time and always returned my calls. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm."
By Robin, a DUI client
"I hired Mr. Rodemer for my son's felony cases. Unfortunately, my son has been in trouble a number of times, and I have had to use several attorneys in town, a total of 5 before Steve. I never got the impression that any of them were doing anything for us, and yet we were paying them a ton. My son is not a bad person, but he has some mental health issues that often create problems and he finds himself in trouble. Steve was compassionate and kind, without judging my son. But what impressed me most was that he actually did what he said he was going to. If we talked over the phone and he said he was going to file something, three days later, I would get a copy of what he filed in the mail. With the other attorneys it would always be the same response – 'I changed my mind and decided that was something we wanted to file.' The outcome on his case was better than it was the first time he was in trouble (which was much less serious). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr. Rodemer, I've finally found an attorney we can use."
By Debbie, a Criminal Defense client
"I hired this firm on a recommendation of a friend I met in alcohol classes. He told me that these guys were great attorneys and really well known in town. I worked with Josh and Steve and they were both great. They were both DAs before they were defense attorneys and that experience really showed in how they dealt with the prosecutors and handled my case. You can trust this firm to do a nice job on your case."
By Gabby, a DUI client.
"Steven and James where amazing. Our son was arrested and charged with a drug offence, a felony 1. He was looking at a mandtory 8 year minnium sentence. We where very scared and didn't know what to do. He was a drug addict, but he needed help. He wasn't a criminal and it was his first offence. I can't express how panicked we where when we called Steve. He calmed us down over the phone and brought us is for a meeting. Steve and James took all the time we needed and explained all the possible outcomes. Then explained what was most likely. James was very patient with us and was always accessible. It was such a relief to have someone on our side. In the end they got our son in a drug program and probation. He has been clean and sober for 6 months and planning for a very bright future. I think this is exactly what he needed. Steve and James have both contacted us multiple times to check up on our son and see how he's been doing. I think that shows that they really care. Thinking back to that first day we learned what he was charged with I am so thankful we called Steve. I just can't recommend them enough!!"
Posted by Sean, a Criminal Defense Client
"I would highly recommend Steve. I had a complicated car accident case that another firm in town initially took, then 'fired' me, because the insurance company denied liability and they realized they were going to have to do some work. Steve immediately filed a lawsuit, worked on the case, and three days before trial the insurance company offered the whole policy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, as every step of the way he fought to get me the best recovery he could."
By Michelle, a Car Accident client
"First attorney I dealt with to actually listen to me and give honest advice. It seemed like he cared about me and my case much more than other attorneys I've met with."

Emerging markets offer tremendous opportunities for European exporters. Along with the BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China, emerging markets include the CIVETS countries (Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa) and MINT countries – Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey.
When starting your international trade journey to emerging markets, begin by creating a clear and effective import or export plan. International trade requires long-term commitment and you will need to nurture and maintain business relationships and develop necessary skills and knowledge to trade with confidence.
It can be a challenge to choose your markets but the key to international trade success is research. Research the different markets to determine which are most suited to your business; make sure that your goods are needed in your chosen market and that you can sell at a price that will produce a reasonable profit margin.
Emerging markets include:

According to financial provider HSBC's research, it is essential for Ireland's future economic growth that Irish companies expand beyond the eurozone, Britain and the US and deepen their trade with emerging markets.
The study forecasts that Ireland's exports to Europe, excluding Russia, will grow at an annual rate of 3 to 4 per cent until 2020, increasing to 5 per cent in the 2020 to 2030 period. Irish exports to the US and Britain are also projected to grow at an average rate of 5 per cent every year between 2020 and 2030.
In emerging markets, HSBC predicts that China will be an important market for Ireland – but not to ignore the Middle East and Latin America as growth in Irish exports to these two regions is set to rise by 6 to 7 per cent each year from 2021 to 2030.
Depending on where your market is, you should be aware of local factors that could affect your trade. From customs regulations to commodity codes and Incoterms® 2010 Rules to import tax, DHL has a wealth of knowledge on all these factors. So whether you're thinking about importing from China or exporting to South Africa, DHL is your first port of call to help make your international business ventures a success.

The standoff between President Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto continued with some pretty stern tweets Thursday.
"If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting," Trump tweeted early Thursday, CNN reports. Peña Nieto had been scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House next week, according to USA Today.
Peña Nieto then announced Thursday that the meeting would, in fact, be canceled, according to CNN. "This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the POTUS," Peña Nieto tweeted.
White House press secretary Sean "Spicy Facts" Spicer noted, "We'll look for a date to schedule something in the future. We will keep the lines of communication open," according to CNN.
As late as Wednesday, Peña Nieto had planned to meet with Trump but added that he had no plans to have his country pay for a border wall, which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday would cost $12 billion to $15 billion.
"President Trump's insistence that Mexico will pay for the wall has once again just been proven as delusional fiction by the Mexican president," House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi told CNN. "The wall is a multibillion-dollar boondoggle in the making, and Republicans should be embarrassed about their brazen hypocrisy in enabling it."
"Mexico does not believe in walls. I've said time again: Mexico will not pay for any wall," Peña Nieto said in a video statement posted to Twitter, according to CNN.

Want to get primed for National Novel Writing Month? Here's your chance to watch the sausage being made.
Silvia Hartmann, a British New Age lecturer on topics like EmoTrance and energy psychology, is exposing the soul-searing process by writing a novel "live" via Google Docs. Hartmann, who also writes fiction under the nom de plume Nick Starfields, began her "Naked Writer Project" Wednesday. Already she has plowed out a dozen chapters of "The Dragon Lords," starting with the first line, "It was not every day that Mrs Delhany found a naked man in the driveway." (The beginning involves Mrs. Delhany learning about this stranger "who had fallen to Earth and landed on her driveway" through a "river [of] information flowing from his hands into hers" and her tomcat.)
As if exposing the raw process wasn't enough, Hartmann will also dare to take reader feedback on the fly, as well as suggestions for the title. She does have some notes for readers and a running word count. Writes Hartmann in her first note:
I'm going to be dealing with this story as I do all stories. I don't sit here and write for hours on end, I write in bursts when I feel like it. And I can't let the pressure of the project change that. So I'm probably going to do a bit of email and such now, general day work and will be resuming in a while. Cheers!
Hartmann hopes to finish the project, perhaps the "first of its kind in that it allows fans to see words being typed," in four to eight weeks.
Everyone's a critic—and an author—too. The critics are already weighing in ... or at least the Guardian describes this first pass as "fairly bonkers" but the entire process as "mesmerising."
The author-in-progress herself has acknowledged reader-writer collaborations aren't new: Most recently, a Chicago storyteller named Willy Chyr sought sentence contributions to The Collabowriters, an attempt at an Internet-written novel. So far that effort has included an ignominious start worthy of Bulwer-Lytton:
It was a dark and stormy night. Zachary, wet and miserable, had been dispatched by his father to scamper across town to pick up some drugs for his step-mother. From the road, he could see the still frozen river. It was only March but it was starting to melt. In a week, the ice would be gone. The barbed sweet stenches of sewage wafting up between the ice cracks on the canal were arrogantly broadcasting an early spring. From somewhere across the canal, a soft sound was barely audible over the moan of shifting ice and garbage: "Help."
And of course, "Monty Python" fans might think we're one step closer to having the "Novel Writing" sketch come true. The British comedy troupe did a sketch about Wessex "local boy" Thomas Hardy writing "The Return of the Native" live before a swooning crowd of spectators. An excerpt: "And he's off—it's the first word, but it's not a word. Oh no! It's a doodle way up in the top left-hand margin, it's a piece of meaningless scribble and he's signed his name underneath it. Oh dear, what a disappointing start..."

Is it possible to get out of Male and stay on other islands?
Well any suggestions? We are pretty flexible, we just don't want to spend massive amounts of $$ on a swanky hotel almost 10 years ago
How can I get from Punta Arenas in Patagonia to Santiago?
Well a bunch of german girls convinced me ;) to head back to Mendoza so I will probably be heading into Chile through the Redentor Pass instead over 11 years ago
I'm looking for a good place to ride out the economic crisis. Is Thailand a good place?
Plenty of ways to get out of the way in Australia! But if Thailand is more your cup of tea then head to the Phu Quoc Islands and sit on the beaches there I don't know much about economics but Asia has got hit pretty hard before. Big export industries fuel a lot of the economies there so I imagine a global tightened on imports will probably hit them pretty hard. Good for your exchange rate though ;) over 11 years ago
I have been told Mendoza is a bit boring unless you pay money?
Well I am here now and it is a lot of fun! I haven't really found the bevy of beautiful babes (not locals anyway) I went on a winery tour and can understand why it would have been a bit crappy if you had tried to walk lol! Everything was a bit wintery and losing leaves and the wineries were down fairly long roads The big buffet place in town is awesome! So much meat... I love Argentina! over 11 years ago
Can I rent a bike in Saigon ?
Head to Phạm Ngũ Lão street in District 1 You can get anything you need there and the other streets close by, just look for collections of bicycles in front of a building. It is by far the best way to get around the city. Have fun over 11 years ago

the trend is your friend
How did you like that huge reversal to the upside on Friday? Did you get caught shorting it? Did you end up BTFDing like there's no tomorrow? Hello and welcome to another wonderful post by Gavin.
At this point I don't care why we drop or pop anymore. Data or news are just excuses for big money to move the markets wherever they want. We are just insignificant little pods pretending to be sharks in an ocean full of great whites. This is what makes trading that much fun and treacherous at the same time. If you get too caught up in your position, you may end up losing money because you didn't become pragmatic.
I have to laugh though because after Thursday's mindraping I decided to take the night off. True enough both clients and twitter followers were shocked I wasn't trading. However, I guided clients that it is a short overnight and the levels to watch out for. I was more so interested in what happened with TSLA. I took the short @ 228 and of course saw it pop int he morning and waited for a better spot to cover for a minimal loss. I lost $15,000 at the US open. I took a step back, angry and frustrated, I had to reorient myself. I could just walk away or get back and do what I do best - TRADE.
I decided to get back in - moving forward rather than wallow in the past. This is the FIRST time I lost money from a TSLA event EVER. So in terms of win/loss ratios, this was a tiny blip but nonetheless waking up to being down a Honda Civic is not something I want either. I do know full well what I was getting into and I recognized the risks.
Anyways, I went back in - traded as best as I could to claw back some of those losses. Thank heavens for Mike (@MEQsense) and the Equity Sense team, they helped give me trade signals to go back long on the S&P 500 and stocks. I turned my losses around and even ended up making $25,000 today.
You don't get to where I am and this way of thinking by just reading books. I am where I am because I have been hardened by experience and all the mind-screwing this market does to you. The markets are always unpredictable and your job as a trader is to find the best strategy to tackle the markets every day.
Overall, as everyone was telling me I was no longer bullish - I think today proves to you that there are still buyers lying around in this market. We may get 20-30 point drops here and there, the overall trend is still bullish. Until Central Banks lose their influence, you really cannot ignore the fact that each time you short this market - some big central bank is waiting to kill your position.
I am not bullish. Bearishness is a principle not a way of trading. Pragmatism always outweighs personal emotions and biases. One must always take the most pragmatic approach to trading or one should prepare for the most epic account implosion ever.
trading 101
by Gavin M.
I have been asked many times, "What kind of a trader are you?" It's a question to simple yet it takes a little bit more to answer. To those I simply have no time to spend I tell them this: "depends on what you're going for." What does that mean? Do you need $100 in the next few hours? Do you need $500 tomorrow or next week? Those are the kinds of questions you should be asking yourself to determine what kind of trading suits you.
I am primarily a daytrader. That is to say, I don't hold positions longer than 24-hours. I prefer instant gratification rather than wait for the trend to continue to take hold and make me money later. I can always join back in later. However, my kind of trading doesn't have to be your kind of trading. Just as I prefer to drive my Tundra doesn't mean you have to go all redneck and buy a truck. You might be a prius type of person. All I'm saying is your trading style is tied to your own personality and motivations.
The hardest thing to do as a market advisor is to provide ideas to clients for the immediate and medium term. Having a longer timeframe allows for more unforeseen circumstances to arise. If you are still surviving this low-volume market up to today, give yourself a pat on the back. This market is nowhere near its peak trading activity witnessed nearly 9 years ago where everyone wanted to be a daytrader.
The stock market is largely devoid of trading activity save for maybe a dozen or so stocks keeping it afloat. If you don't believe me, then you obviously are not an active trader. However, the absence of volume is not the same as the absence of volatility nor trading activity itself. It doesn't have to be. I'm no stranger to this low-volume environment and challenging as it may, it isn't impossible to trade. I pray that the time for when volume is close to zero never comes.
So going back to the topic at hand. When you ask others what kind of a trader they are. When you ask others whether they prefer short term or longer term, the answer always lies within your own goals. Some can't stand sitting in front of a computer screen for 4 hours a day. And yet, some, like myself, can be in front for almost the entire day without sleeping.
Some people make trading needlessly complicated because they want to cover all the bases and integrate as many techniques as possible. However, trading truly is as simple as asking yourself these two questions:
1. Do you want profits today or can you wait?
2. Do you have a plan for your trade?
Most of the time, when I see a trade setup, the time it takes for me to make up my mind and to press the Buy or Sell button is almost instantaneous. I don't try to overcomplicate everything with WHAT IF questions or AM I FORGETTING something questions. Trading is binary. Trading is about having a plan for an undertaking based on incomplete information. Some even say it is an act of faith.
The people who really struggle in this business are those who overthink and who hesitate. This Easter weekend, really think about how you view the markets. Think about how pointless overthinking something as manipulated as the markets. The majority want trading to be black and white but it is anything but that. Remember that the markets these days are now full of momentum-chasing robots. These are bots who could care less about fundamentals nor a sense of reality.
If you want further proof? Look at how the markets reacted to the bombings in Brussels. It took it right back up. So I say this in closing: why bother yourself overthinking a rigged market masquerading itself as a system actually based on economic merit? He who understands how the game is manipulated understands how to truly play the game.

I Had an "Aha!" Moment.
As always I was watching an "Informational" video, and on this particular day it was a Gary Vaynerchuck video where he was at a college speaking on entrepreneurship. Now if you don't know who Gary is you may want to Google him he's very unintentionally motivational. Anyway, he had stated that you cannot teach someone how to be an entrepreneur, which I agree 100%. You either are, or you're not. I would like to consider myself an entrepreneur because the thought of only working for someone else drives me insane. As he was speaking he said something very interesting which was…"The #1 Asset to everybody in the world is TIME." I had an "AHA" moment, because after he said that he went on to saying, "if you can figure out how to sell it and buy it back that's a big coo." Now if you don't know already I have a business where I do Bookkeeping, Taxes, Payroll, Business Formation, IRS resolutions and some additional "business related" stuff. The one thing that I've always dreaded about going to conferences and networking events are the people who walk over to me and ask "What do you do?" Thinking to myself, should I tell them EVERYTHING that I do or just mention some or one thing that I do. So I end up just telling them, "I do taxes and bookkeeping." And their response is usually "Oh, ok that's great."
Now, with Gary V saying what he said about time, reminded me of a TED talk that I watched a while back featuring Simon Sinek who spoke on somewhat the same lines. His thing was people don't buy What you do they buy Why you do it. This was the one thing I have always struggled with because I didn't want to sound like everybody else…At first, I had always thought my WHY to WHAT I DO was to make people's lives a little less complicated, but at that "AHA" moment I tapped into the #1 Asset that everybody in the world was wanting according to Millionaire Gary V and that was TIME. I sell TIME. For example, if you run a business and the majority of your TIME is consumed by doing the bookkeeping, the payroll and the monthly, quarterly and year-end reports or even worse dealing with those annoying letters coming from the state and federal agencies because of some discrepancy that was made. Just think about it, aren't you losing time? Now, wouldn't it be nice if you could get back that time so you could focus on growing your business or your artistry which will in turn result in increasing your revenue. As they say, TIME IS MONEY. So, with all that said, doesn't it make sense how providing my professional services can ultimately give a business back its TIME?
Now when I get the opportunity to go to a conference, or a networking event, and I am asked the question, "What do you do?" Guess what my response will be…you got it…I SELL TIME! And instead of them saying the usual "Oh, okay that's great," and then walking away. They will be more curious and interested in what I do. Because who doesn't want their TIME back, even if you have to pay for it.
So, What Do You Do?

With the massive fall in international student enrollments from countries including India, the representative body for the UK universities is on the move to new post-study visa. Post scrapping the post-study visa in 2012, the number of international students choosing the UK as their study abroad destination reduced. The dominant reason specified by the students was the lack of post-study work option. The representative body is likely to implement a new temporary "Global Graduate Talent Visa" which enables the student to work in a skilled job in the UK for two years after their graduation.
According to reports, Australia offers a post-study work option of four years, the USA and Canada offers three years of post-study work option, and New Zealand three years. Because of the changes in post-study work option in the UK, the number of Indian students coming to the UK has dropped to 9,000 from 24, 000. This option would not route to settlement option. However, students will receive the opportunity to gain valuable work experience without any restrictions. In addition, the representative body is also likely to work upon the small and medium enterprises to hire international graduates under Tier 2 visa route.

GOING FOR A natural look, Joshua Hoffman warmed up the light from his boomed high strobe with a 1/4 CTO gel to mimic a porch light. To draw the viewer into the image, Joshua enhanced the mood of the setting by firing a second light through the bushes without a gel, to simulate shadows cast by moonlight. He pulled the second light back far enough to make the shadows it created nice and crisp. Then he asked musician Josh Moore to play the guitar while he started shooting.

He had read it in a magazine, about the Romanian civil servant who had died at their desk, sitting propped up in their office chair for two weeks and no one noticed. That could happen here, Graham thought, it is the Friday before Christmas if I died now they would not find me to January.
The office was open plan. A sniper who happened upon the scene should have had line of sight from one end of the cavernous space to the other, but as Graham looked around he could see how people had manufactured walls to protect themselves. A forest of pot plants loomed, family photos were chosen as company over the living heartbeats and conversation of colleagues, calendars were propped up as a makeshift barricade a stuffed Piglet toy and Shaun the Sheep pressed into service as the defenders.
He could hear the tap, tap of a keyboard, an incessant voodoo beat that reverberated around in the post five pm hush on the second floor. Graham watched as the motion activated lights blinked out, a testament of abandonment, an onward rushing tide of darkness that would overwhelm him.
There should have been festivity, he thought, a Christmas tree that twinkled in the corner, maybe a moth-eared chain of paper angels set to fluttering in this air sucked dry of atmosphere, even a simple card, but it was like Cromwell had never left this part of Cambridgeshire. Christmas had been cancelled.
A door slammed, the last light extinguished, snuffed out, only the light above Graham remained alight.
'I've got to get out, while I'm still alive.' He whispered to the night.
While somewhere out in the dark his unseen companion tapped away at a keyboard.

Paint Shield® Microbicidal Paint is redefining what paint can do. Here are answers to six common questions about this revolutionary new coating.
1. What is Paint Shield?
It is the first-ever EPA-registered interior latex paint with the power to kill certain bacteria on painted surfaces within two hours of exposure. And it has the appearance and quality you expect from Sherwin-Williams paints.
2. What does it kill?
Paint Shield microbicidal paint kills 99.9 percent of Staph (Staphylococcus aureus), E. coli (Escherichia coli), MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis) and Enterobacter aerogenes on painted surfaces within two hours of exposure, and continues to kill 90 percent of bacteria for up to four years when the integrity of the surface is maintained.
3. How has it been tested?
The Paint Shield Microbicidal Paint formula is patented in the U.S. and EPA-registered. It has passed rigorous EPA test protocol conducted by third-party labs. Paint Shield underwent vigorous scrubbing tests and repeated exposure tests to make sure that when exposed to normal wear and tear, cleaning and scrubbing, it maintains its effectiveness (for up to four years when the integrity of the surface is maintained) and meets the high-quality standards of all Sherwin-Williams products.
4. Where and how should it be applied?
Paint Shield goes on just like any other interior paint, and can be applied on ceilings, walls, doors and trim throughout the home. Originally developed for health care facilities, athletic facilities, schools and other specialized business settings, Paint Shield is also ideal for any residence, especially in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. Just like any interior paint, two coats are required over a previously primed or painted surface. It can be applied with traditional paint brushes and rollers.
5. What colors and sheens does Paint Shield come in?
Paint Shield Microbicidal Paint is available in 550 colors and in the popular eg-shel sheen.
6. Where can I buy this product?
Paint Shield is only available in Sherwin-Williams stores. You can find your closest store at sherwin-williams.com/store-locator.

[*6] needs to be, for any purpose, except, perhaps, the very first *lessons to the student of constitutional law. The politician and the jurist may consult it, with a certainty of finding all the prominent topics of the subject fully discussed. A work presenting a proper analysis and correct views of the Constitution of the United States has long been a desideratum with the public. It is true that the last fifteen years have not been unfruitful in commentaries upon that instrument; such commentaries, however, as have, for the most part, met a deserved fate, in immediate and total oblivion. Most of them have served only to throw ridicule upon the subject which they professed to illustrate. A few have appeared, however, of a much higher order, and bearing the stamp of talent, learning and research. Among these, the work before us and the Commentaries of Chief Justice Kent hold the first rank. Both these works are, as it is natural they should be, strongly tinctured with the political opinions of their respective authors; and as there is a perfect concurrence between them in this respect, their joint authority can scarcely fail to exert a strong influence upon public opinion. It is much to be regretted that some one, among the many who differ from them in their views of the Constitution, and who possess all the requisite qualifications for the task, should not have thought it necessary to vindicate his own peculiar tenets, in a work equally elaborate, and presenting just claims to public attention. The authority of great names is of such imposing weight, that mere reason and argument can rarely counterpoise it in the public mind; and its preponderance is not easily overcome, except by adding like authority to the weight of reason and argument, in the opposing scale. I hope it is not yet too late for this suggestion to have its effect upon those to whom it is addressed. The first commentary upon the Constitution, the Federalist, is decidedly the best which has yet appeared. The writers of that book were actors in all the interesting scenes of the period, and two of them were members of the convention which formed the Constitution. Added to this, their extensive information, their commanding talents, and their experience in great public affairs, qualified them, in a peculiar degree, for the task which they undertook. Nevertheless, their great object was to recommend the Constitution to the people, at a time when it was very uncertain whether they would adopt it or not; and hence their work, although it contains a very full and philosophical analysis of the subject, comes to us as a mere argument in support of a favorite measure, and, for that reason, does not always command our entire confidence. Besides, the Constitution was [*7] then *untried, and its true character, which is to be learned only from its practical operation, could only be conjectured. Much has been developed, in the actual practice of the government, which no politician of that day could either have foreseen or imagined. New questions have arisen, not then anticipated, and difficulties and embarrassments, wholly unforeseen, have sprung from new events in the relation of the States to one another, and to the general government. Hence the Federalist cannot be relied on, as full and safe authority in all cases. It is, indeed, matter of just surprise, and affording the strongest proof of the profound wisdom and far-seeing sagacity of the authors of that work, that their views of the Constitution have been so often justified in the course of its practical operation. Still, however, it must be admitted that the Federalist is defective in some important particulars, and deficient in many more. The Constitution is much better understood at this day than it was at the time of its adoption. This is not true of the great principles of civil and political liberty, which lie at the foundation of that instrument; but it is emphatically true of some of its provisions, which were considered at the time as comparatively unimportant, or so plain as not to be misunderstood, but which have been shown, by subsequent events, to be pregnant with the greatest difficulties, and to exert the most important influence upon the whole character of the government. Contemporary expositions of the Constitution, therefore, although they should be received as authority in some cases, and may enlighten our judgments in most others, cannot be regarded as safe guides, by the expounder of that instrument at this day. The subject demands our attention now as strongly as it did before the Federalist was written. It is not surprising, therefore, that the work now under consideration should have been hailed with pleasure, and received with every favorable disposition. Judge Story fills a high station in the judiciary of the United States, and has acquired a character, for talents and learning, which ensures respect to whatever he may publish under his own name. His duty, as a judge of the Supreme court, has demanded of him frequent investigations of the nicest questions of constitutional law; and his long service in that capacity has probably brought under his review every provision of that instrument, in regard to which any difference of opinion has prevailed. Assisted as he has been by the arguments of the ablest counsel, and by the joint deliberations of the other judges of the court, it would be indeed wonderful, if he should hazard his well-earned reputation as a jurist, upon any hasty or unweighed opinion, upon subjects [*8] so grave and *important. He has also been an attentive observer of political events, and although by no means obtrusive in politics, has yet a political character, scarcely less distinguished than his character as a jurist. To all these claims to public attention and respect, may be added a reputation for laborious research, and for calm and temperate thinking. A work on the Constitution of the United States, emanating from such a source, cannot fail to exert a strong influence upon public opinion, and it is, therefore, peculiarly important that its real character should be understood. Whatever may be the cast of its political opinions, it can scarcely fail to contain many valuable truths, and much information which will be found useful to all classes of readers. And, so far as its political opinions are concerned, it is of the highest importance to guard the public mind against the influence which its errors, if errors there be, may borrow from the mere authority of the distinguished name under which they are advanced. The plan of the work before us is very judicious. In order to a correct understanding of the Constitution, it is absolutely necessary to understand the situation of the States before it was adopted. The author, acting upon this idea, distributes his work into three great divisions. "The first will embrace a sketch of the charters, constitutional history, and ante-revolutionary jurisprudence of the colonies. The second will embrace the constitutional history of the States, during the revolution, and the rise, progress, decline and fall of the confederation. The third will embrace the history of the rise and adop
tion of the Constitution, and a full exposition of all its provisions, with the reasons on which they were respectively founded, the objections by which they were respectively assailed, and such illustrations drawn from contemporaneous documents, and the subsequent operations of the government, as may best enable the reader to estimate for himself, the true value of each." This plan is at once comprehensive and analytic. It embraces every topic necessary to a full understanding of the subject, while, at the same time, it presents them in the natural order of investigation. It displays a perfect acquaintance with the true nature of the subject, and promises every result which the reader can desire. The first part relates to a subject of the greatest interest to every American, and well worthy the study of philosophical enquirers, all over the world. There is not, within the whole range of history, an event more important, with reference to its effects upon the world at large, than the settlement of the American colonies. It did not fall within the plan of our author to enquire very extensively, or very minutely, into the mere history of the events which *distinguished that [*9] extraordinary enterprise. So far as the first settlers may
be regarded as actuated by avarice, by ambition, or by any other of the usual motives of the adventurer, their deeds belong to the province of the historian alone. We, however, must contemplate them in another and a higher character. A deep and solemn feeling of religion, and an attachment to, and an understanding of, the principles of civil liberty, far in advance of the age in which they lived, suggested to most of them the idea of seeking a new home, and founding new institutions in the western world. To this spirit we are indebted for all that is free and liberal in our present political systems. It would be a work of very great interest, and altogether worthy of the political historian to trace the great principles of our institutions back to their sources. Their origin would probably be discovered at a period much more remote than is generally supposed. We should derive from such a review much light in the interpretation of those parts of our systems, as to which we have no precise rules in the language of our constitutions of government. It is to be regretted that Judge Story did not take this view of the subject. Although not strictly required by the plan of his work, it was, nevertheless, altogether consistent with it, and would have added much to its interest with the general reader. His sources of historical information were ample, and his habits and the character of his mind fitted him well for such an investigation, and for presenting the result in an analytic and philosophical form. He has chosen, however, to confine himself within much narrower limits. Yet, even within those limits, he has brought together a variety of historical facts of great interest, and has presented them in a condensed form, well calculated to make a lasting impression upon the memory. The brief sketch which he has given of the settlement of the several colonies, and of the charters from which they derived their rights and powers as separate governments, contains much to enable us to understand fully the relation which they bore to one another and to the mother country. This is the true starting point in the investigation of those vexed questions of constitutional law which have so long divided political parties in the United States. It would seem almost impossible that any two opinions could exist upon the subject; and yet the historical facts, upon which alone all parties must rely, although well authenticated and comparatively recent, have not been understood by all men alike. Our author was well aware of the importance of settling this question at the threshold of his work. Many of the powers which have been claimed for the federal [*10] government, by the political party to which he *belongs, depend upon a denial of that separate existence, and separate sovereignty and independence, which the opposing party has uniformly claimed for the States. It is, therefore, highly important to the correct settlement of this controversy, that we should ascertain the precise political condition of the several colonies prior to the revolution. This will enable us to determine how far our author has done justice to his subject, in the execution of the first part of his plan; and by tracing the colonies from their first establishment as such, through the various stages of their progress up to the adoption of the Federal Constitution, we shall be greatly aided in forming a correct opinion as to the true character of that instrument. It appears to be a favorite object with the author to impress upon the mind of the reader, at the very commencement of his


text:
Art needs no purpose. Yet, the project that I am launching now is a joining between artistic endeavor and a wide range of intent. If I were to choose a single word that should define Mentatul's trajectory, that word would be "change".
Before my adventure starts though, I would like to set out some guidelines for performing my craft. These will become the beacons for everything that I shall publish and I will strive to follow the route that I envision.
This is part of a series detailing the intellectual pillars of my craft. The other two are:
"Why Am I Writing?"^, which details my motivations.
"Micro Biography"^, which covers the essential history that brought me here.
Now… what is my purpose and how do I want to achieve it?
Respect the people; they are your brothers and sisters
I see each and every one of you as a dear sibling. Honestly. With every word I will write, I will remain aware of the fact that, like me, other beings have dreams, have endured hardships and probably have a long way ahead of them still. Humans and their activities and culture are a source of great inspiration and motivation for writing. This demands not only a respectful approach, but also a sense of wonder at the unfolding story of this Universe.
Since I don't usually write for myself, I must carefully consider my audience. Although I value my independence as a writer, I must also value my readers' time. That is why I will attempt to keep my entries short and pleasant to read.
Take sides; take all sides
I'd like to give a name to this approach: "generalized-subjectivity". Rather than being objective and detached from the various actors and matters I will cover, my attitude will be one of complete involvement.
This style is meant to strengthen the emotional connection with a certain subject and promote compassion in my writing. Not only will this ensure objectivity, but it comes with the added benefit of encouraging a positive discussion that respects all sides.
Language is more than a tool; words are eternal advocates
In my view, respect must also be given to the medium that allows me to share my thoughts. Language gives thoughts a form. In order for that form to be both beautiful and expressive, I will need to explore and improve my vocabulary. Only so will I be able to discover how to use words in the most effective and harmonious ways. And because words have a tendency to outlast their writer, it is my responsibility to see that my writing withstands the test of time. However…
Don't fear being wrong; write with passion, learn
Mistakes can and will happen. During my previous online publishing stints (upon which I touched in the third part of this series), I have adopted a perfectionist attitude towards my art. This has hurt my literary output while providing almost no long-term benefits. I'm too much of a perfectionist to simply become sloppy this time around, but I will definitely put a few doors between me and my inner critic.
There are certain risks that arise from having a passionate style of expression, especially in the case of analytical writing. However, when necessary, these risks will not stop me from being intense. I can't conceive writing about a subject unless I'm very interested in it. Even so, one guideline that I will always have in mind is that I should aim to find the balance between passion and fairness, between being categorical and maintaining a polite, respectful tone.
Challenge to discussion; it is a source of progress
Communication has the power to cure fear. By ridding ourselves of fear, we can truly blossom. The project I'm launching now is more than a creative outlet, it is a community. I would like to give you the opportunity to speak and the space to challenge everything you read here. You can engage through quick comments, brief engagement on social media or by joining the Forum.
Even more, as Mentatul progresses, and once I have made the relevant steps, there are also plans for involving a Wiki into the project. The usefulness of this will become obvious soon enough.
Encourage readers to dig deeper and keep an open mind
One of the most fundamental aspects of existence, I believe, is the fact that almost everything we take for granted is not what it appears to be. No matter how hard I could try, there will be flaws in my reasoning. I therefore beg of you, reader, to search for other points of view. Explore the fountain of knowledge that is our society and never stop questioning. Always keep with you some of the curiosity of a child.
At times, I will write very short entries, suggesting an article or offering some tidbit of information I considered worthy. Sometimes, I'll do it without even the slightest comment, waiting for your reaction. It is my hope that your stay here will be inspiring and moving. With all this in mind, I shall now craft.

My phone was submerged in water for about 10 seconds (dont ask). I put it in a back of rice overnight and took the back off to inspect for residual moisture. It works perfectly except for the led staying on in a low power state. It went off for several weeks and then came back on all of a sudden. Apparently the water cause a short causing this problem. Solution - replace the part. As already noted... it is not difficult to do and there is a wealth of guidance on Youtube. If your phone is dated or battery life is dwindling, its not a bad idea to replace the battery at the same time. Hope this helps.

Gay Marriage Could Generate So Much Money for Pennsylvania
Interesting/exciting article in the Washington Post today about just how much money gay marriage, if legalized, could generate for those states. The amount: bajillions. And by bajillions, we mean $464 million across 11 states.
The Williams Institute, the think tank that broke this all down, did this by looking at a few things:
- the number of same-sex couples reported on the 2010 census
- the "Massachusetts experience," which refers to how in that state, nearly half of same-sex couples tied the knot in the first three years it was legal, and since other legalized states have followed suit, they're assuming this pattern will continue
- a bunch of wedding-cost numbers from the Wedding Report (which they actually lowered by a fourth to account for the reality that not all same-sex couples have the same financial support from their families as wedding-planning heterosexual couples, and might not throw as elaborate shebangs).
The result? Well, this, at least, for PA:
Which, as far as we see it, is just another reasons why this is all a very good thing here in the lovely state of PA. Read even more about it at the Post.

Best Cheap Smartwatches
These Sleek Smartwatches Are All Under $200 (For Real)
The AskMen editorial team thoroughly researches & reviews the best gear, services and staples for life. AskMen may get paid if you click a link in this article and buy a product or service.
At this point, when it comes to smartwatch ownership, the question is not will you get one, but when will you get one and what model will you pick? The inevitable future is that wristwatches will be reserved for special occasions, as the convenience and technological integration of smartwatches have made them truly indispensable. As the technology advances, smartwatches continue to decrease in price, which means you could, in theory, add one to your collection and still have enough left over for a traditional timepiece. Design quality has also improved as smartwatch makers realize their products don't have to resemble something from Star Trek in order to be taken seriously. Big and chunky is out – sleek and slim is in.
In addition to telling you what time it is – how 1990s – smartwatches also act as fitness and sleep trackers, personal assistants, weather stations, stock tickers, cameras, music players, virtual credit cards and more. The fitness tracking element has been the biggest boost for smartwatches, as our increasing obsession with exercise and nutrition means we want real-time data on workouts, daily steps, heart rate, and food intake, helping us meet and set goals and even indulge where appropriate. It's like having a miniature personal trainer strapped to your wrist.
While Apple set the smartwatch benchmark with the Apple Watch, there are plenty of other affordable smartwatch options that are compatible with your smartphone, regardless if you're running Apple or Android. Here's a list of great cheap smartwatch options all priced at under $250 — meaning you won't go broke in the process.
Fitbit Versa Smartwatch
Best For: The Fitness Enthusiast
Fitbit has played around with quite a few different fitness tracker/smartwatch designs, but their newest product, the Versa, is a serious industry competitor. Available in black, silver or rose gold, the aluminum build is light enough for all-day use. Under a fitness brand, it's only fitting that the biggest feature on the device is its wide range of exercise modes as well as step counts, calories burned and heart rate tracking. You can also respond to texts, listen to music (the watch boasts a capacity of up to 300 songs) via wireless headphones, check the weather and more.

Amazfit Bip Smartwatch by Huami
Best For: The Person On A budget
On the surface, the Amazfit Bip looks a lot like a slimmer Apple Watch. But that's where the similarities end. It features an always-on display with a crazy battery life of up to 30 days on a single 2.5-hour charge. Monitor your heart rate and track your steps, calories burned, and sleep quality. Plus, get notifications for texts, emails and calls, social media alerts and weather forecasts. It's important to note that these are only notifications — you'll have to pick up your phone to respond. But for under $100, this is a great budget smartwatch option.

Samsung Gear S2
Samsung's TRON-esk smartwatch is a modern, sexy option with a circular design. Rotate the bezel to zoom through apps and notifications with ease. Not only can you track calorie, water and caffeine intake, but the watch's barometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, and heart-rate monitor will let you keep an eye on all your stats and vitals at just a glance. With the durable stainless steel and Gorilla Glass build, you can safely wear the watch all day, every day. It's even dust, water and sweat resistant making it easy to wear to the beach, the gym or work. At the end of the day, drop it on the wireless charging dock to power back up.

Motorola Moto 360
Best For: Wearing With Designer Clothes
Motorola once dominated the cellphone market, and while it's taken them a while to gain a foothold in wearable tech, the brand's commitment to design and innovation means they're gaining ascendance once again. The Moto 360 comes with a natty grey leather strap and the watch face looks sleek and Scandinavian. The craftsmanship is hard to beat here as its made with stainless steel, genuine Horween leather and scratch-resistant glass. It has voice technology, meaning you can just tell it what you want it to do, and the Moto Body app that ticks all the fitness boxes. Of course, you can swap out the strap, and Motorola also makes an excellent wireless charging cradle for it.

Knee Replacement: Getting Back to The Act of Living
Knee joints may get injured, or simply wear down, leading to the need for replacement. Patients with our New Jersey hip and knee center receive the exact level of care needed to restore comfort and range of motion. Ultimately, a partial or full knee replacement is performed with the objective of ushering a patient back into a good quality life. Here, we touch on a few of the normalcies of living that may not be as normal as one would expect, at least not right away.
Of course, the ability to drive is gradually regained along with functional movement after knee replacement surgery. Patients are forewarned that they may not be able to get back behind the wheel for a few weeks, and that is only if an automatic transmission is driven. Driving a manual transmission vehicle, because of the need to lift the leg and bend the knee to press pedals, may take a bit longer.
Driving also cannot be resumed until the only medication being taken is non-narcotic. Narcotics prescribed after surgery inhibit the ability to safely operate a vehicle.
Travel of any kind takes a physical toll. The longer the flight or ride, the greater the toll. It is important to take the time to stretch and walk before as well as during longer flights. Getting up just to move about the cabin decreases the risk of blood clot formation. Also, when flying after knee replacement, be aware that any metal in the artificial knee is likely to alert metal detectors. Furthermore, changes in cabin pressure may cause unexpected swelling in the knee joint or lower extremities. If you plan to travel within the first few months after the knee or hip surgery, speak with your doctor about precautions or special concerns.
Dental Care?
The idea that orthopedic surgery affects dental care may seem far-fetched, but it is something to remember. Patients who receive an artificial joint, even a partial structure, may have an increased risk of infection please contact our office for information regarding pre-medication prior to any dental procedures.
Obtain the information you need about knee replacement and other procedures. Schedule your consultation at 201-291-4040.

New Year's Healthy Food Resolutions
New Year's resolutions are birthed from good intentions, but rarely do they last. According to Forbes Magazine, University of Scranton researchers found that only 8% of people actually achieve their New Year's Goals. It comes as no surprise that the #1 ranked resolution for 2017 was related to weight loss/ healthy eating. A desire to get healthy is a great goal to have. Unfortunately, most don't know how to take the steps to make their New Year's goals a reality. This year, I'm suggesting a different approach. I can't take credit for this idea. It comes from listening to the podcast, The Sporkful.
On their New Year's episode, they provided clips from listeners sharing the healthy foods that they resolved to eat more of in the coming year. They were making new year's healthy food resolutions!
Not every food that people resolved to eat more of was a healthy food, such as pizza, so this isn't a license to over-indulge in foods that could present unwanted effects such as weight gain, increased cholesterol, etc. Instead, resolve to eat more healthy foods. Be specific. These can be foods that you love and used to eat all the time but have stopped, or new foods that you've always wanted to try.
The difference with a specific new years healthy food resolution is that it is realistic. Rather than just "eating healthy," you are giving yourself a measurable goal.
It's much easier to stick to a healthy food goal when you know exactly what you're shooting for.
This year, I resolve to eat more of several dishes/food items.
All of my choices provide nutritional benefits, which I will explain, but there is also a very practical reason why I am choosing to consume more of these foods. Read on to find out my picks!
More specifically, I would like to eat more Indian Chicken Curry.
- There isn't a much easier way to maximize my intake of some powerful herbs/spices such as turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander and garlic.
- I've written a lot about the benefits of turmeric for reducing inflammation and providing disease fighting benefits due to its antioxidant powder.
- Ginger is soothing, aiding in digestion and also provides potential relief for stressed muscles. Cinnamon has potential blood-sugar-lowering benefits.
I haven't written much about garlic or cardamom, so let me fill you in. Garlic has been used for ages, just as turmeric and cinnamon, for a multitude of pharmacological benefits. Today, garlic is used for treatment of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure, and high cholesterol just to name a few. Additionally, garlic has potent antimicrobial properties thanks to, accilin, a sulfur-containing compound that is formed at levels of approximately 3 to 5 mg/g of fresh clove. This has been used to treat candida overgrowth. Lastly, adding garlic to dishes (such as curry) has been shown to reduce the severity of cold and flu symptoms.
Cardamom, a lesser-known spice, has been shown to have protective effects against gastrointestinal lesions associated with ulcers, provides benefits for lowering blood pressure and is also an excellent source of cardio-protective antioxidants. If you're looking for ways to decrease inflammation, curry is your dish.
Just like everyone else, I get busy. At the end of the day, I don't always feel like cooking. Curry is an easy dish to prepare in bulk. This means that I have leftovers for days. The easier that you make in on yourself to keep your new years healthy food resolutions, the better your chances are of keeping them! If I think that I'll get sick of the dish before I finish it (doubtful), I can always freeze half to whip out on a really busy evening. Unlike some leftovers, curry gets better with age. The spices have a chance to infuse and it's even more flavorful the next day.
Recently, a lot of research has been devoted to the healthy benefits of beets.
- Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which our bodies break down to nitric oxide (NO).
- Nitric oxide is responsible for a host of heart-healthy benefits, most specially for lowering blood pressure.
- Beetroot is also an excellent source of folate, which is of key importance to pregnant women and those of childbearing age, as well as fiber and potassium.
- Like most dark, leafy greens, beet greens provide vitamins A and K, potassium and magnesium.
- If you're looking for a good way to get in calcium, 1 cup of cooked beet greens can help!
Research has also found that NO found in beet juice may improve performance for athletes. It is thought to do this by decreasing the amount of oxygen needed during exercise, increasing blood flow to exercising muscles and extending the amount duration of exercise before reaching exhaustion.
The magnesium content in beet greens can also help athletes recover by promoting muscle relaxation and sleep.
Beets are great additions to salads, but for me, they are so much more! You see, I love marinara sauce (made from tomatoes), but it doesn't love me. My body does not tolerate nightshades well at all. Thankfully, I can still make my own versions of marinara or other tomato-based sauces using beets and another vegetable such as carrots. It might sound crazy but when you add oregano, garlic, basil etc. the taste is pretty darn close! It's not the most convenient item to prepare, but it definitely expands my meal options. To make it easier, I prepare a large batch (several large mason jars) and freeze them for later use. If you'd like to try, check out this recipe from He Won't Know It's Paleo.
Beets are very versatile and can jazz up any dish.
- Have them savory or sweet.
- I add them to quinoa, toss them into my traditional roasted veggies, bake with them (beet brownies), and sometimes, I roast them and eat them whole (just like an apple).
- If you do that, I suggest using golden beets so that your fingers and lips aren't stained red. ☺
- If time is limited, beets can conveniently be purchased already steamed and peeled thanks to Love Beets.
With beets, you can really get the most bang for your buck because the entire beet plant (root + greens) is edible. This means less waste and more versatility to dishes. There are times when sautéed spinach just isn't going to cut it for me. Beet greens offer a tasty, nutrient-packed alternative. The greens are also excellent additions to soups/stews.
Arugula is a great way to help liven up the same old iceberg or romaine salads!
Adding new flavors to your 'go-to' meals can help spice up your same old routine. A small change to your regular salad can make lunch (and achieving your new year's food resolutions) fun again!
- Arugula, like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale, is a cruciferous vegetable.
- Cruciferous veggies contain glucosinolates, which may provide cancer-protective benefits by helping the body get rid of carcinogens before they have a chance to damage DNA.
- Research also suggests that they may positively affect hormone activity in ways that inhibit the development of hormone-related cancers as well as help reduce the risk of colorectal and lung cancers.
- Other studies have found that sulforaphane, another compound in arugula, has potential as a pharmaceutical agent in cancer treatment.
If those are reasons enough to eat arugula, it is also a very easy way to get a boost of key vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A helps improve vision, Vitamin C boosts immune function, Vitamin K aids in blood clotting and strengthens bones. Arugula also packs potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium. Who would have thought that a flimsy little leafy green could do all that?
Salads are a go-to lunch for me because they're extremely easy to prepare. They have to keep me fueled all afternoon so I don't skimp on ingredients. I always add a variety of veggies in addition to avocado (healthy fat), a complex carbohydrate (ex: sweet potato or black rice) and a protein source. Sometimes, I do get tired of regular "mixed greens." With a slight peppery essence, it is much more flavorful than chard, lettuce or spinach. It comes conveniently in the clear salad boxes, just like the mixed greens, which makes it easy to grab and toss into my lunch container. No additional washing or cutting necessary. If you're not a salad person, add arugula to any pasta or sauté dish.
This is likely the easiest New Year's Resolutions that I've made, and it's one that I can confidently say I'll keep! I encourage you to pick one or more nutrient-powerhouses and find ways to eat more of them. Happy eating! ☺

I've been extolling the virtues of backup a lot recently, which has led to a few interesting conversations (and a lot of people rolling their eyes and going back to talking about climbing).
One of these conversations was with Glyn from the amazing Open Energy Monitor project, who are wrestling with a backup implementation for their forums. Their requirements are very similar to a lot of small businesses who rely on hosted solutions, so in this post I'm going to talk about small-scale backup strategies and give some suggestions on how to approach the task.
In a following post I will describe how to set up a simple backup solution using Rsnapshot for machines which don't have SSH or rsync available.
A good place to start is figuring out the level of backup you actually need. There are a couple of industry terms which are worth considering here:
Once you've defined your RTO and RPO for each service you're aiming to protect you're in a good position to decide on your backup and recovery strategy. If you've decided that you have an RPO of less than 30 minutes and an RTO of less than 1 hour you the solutions described below aren't suitable for you. Take some time to look up high availability clusters, live database replication, or a plethora of other options.
The first thing most people do when realising they need a backup is to copy their files to a USB pen drive or another computer. Maybe a week later the files are copied again, overwriting the original backup. 10 minutes later you realise you deleted something really important before you did the second backup. Disaster!
Fortunately all modern backup solutions can be configured to only backup files which have changed since the previous backup, retaining deleted files until they are older than a specified age.
How many copies of the backups do you need? What are the chances that the backup will fail just when you need it most? I'm pretty paranoid so even for for my home backups I have at least two copies in different locations and the machine hosting my primary backup uses RAID 1 to duplicate the data onto two disks.
Rsnapshot does some clever hard-linking to give you the appearance of many independent backups without having to store many copies of the same files. In the example below the same directory has been backed-up two days in a row (daily.0 is the most recent). Even though file1.txt has been deleted at some point and is missing from the latest backup, an older version is still in the system. If file2.exe and file3.xml haven't changed they will only be stored on disk once.
|- daily.0
| |-directory1
| |-file2.exe
| |-file3.xml
|- daily.1
Disk space is pretty inexpensive these days so it's feasible for most small-scale scenarios to retain quite a long history. An example of a reasonable strategy is:
This has raised some eyebrows. Why instigate a strategy for backing up five year's worth of data? Why retain so many backups for the latest day? It seems like overkill. But a better question is why not? If your business is still going in 5 years and has grown to 100x its original size then shelling out for a couple of disks is the least of your worries. If you do run out of space older backups can be removed, but why do it prematurely?
The space requirements for the above strategy can be calculated pretty easily. Let's say that we start with a 100Gb website, and every day users upload 1Gb of new videos.
|Initial data size
|Daily change (additions or modifications)
In two years the total size of the data will be no more than 2Tb. In reality some content will be removed so the final value is likely to be lower. To calculate the backup space required.
|Number retained
|Size per increment
So the maximum space requirement for the above would be 2 terabytes. That means a total spend of < £250 for a couple of 3Tb disks to run in RAID 1 (another copy is always good!), and most use cases will have more modest requirements.
The backup will most likely contain a lot of sensitive information, so it's worth taking some time to consider the implications of your backup particularly for:
Encryption helps mitigate the risks for both scenarios (although you then need to think about how to protect your encryption keys or passphrases).
Here you have a couple of options: encrypt the data before transmitting it or encrypt it once it's been received.
There are a plethora of drive encryption tools out there, and I have worked with and can recommend Truecrypt for both Linux and Windows platforms. Ubuntu natively supports dm_crypt and LUKS which makes the setup and management a little easier. If the entire drive is encrypted you'll need to enter a passphrase or use a key to mount the device each time it's connected (hint: a YubiKey can solve this issue elegantly) but if the drive is lost or stolen there's almost no way for the data to be recovered by an attacker, assuming a reasonable encryption algorithm has been used. A word of warning though. The same is true if you forget the passphrase or lose the key.
Another option is to encrypt the archive files rather than the entire disk using GPG.
If you have encrypted the data before transmitting it then half the problem is already solved, however it is easy to overlook the username and password used to make the connection.
If you have access to a shared hosting instance using FTP (which is unencrypted), check if the provider offers FTPS (FTP over SSL). Similarly anyone using telnet should look for SSH. Any good hosting service will provide secure access, and it is a good idea to disable their insecure counterparts.
This is by far the most overlooked aspect of any backup plan. Many people get their backups in a nice encrypted TAR or database dump, sit back and think the task is over, but what use is a backup if it doesn't get you back up and running? It's all too easy to omit a critical configuration file, or accidentally dump the data for your database but not the schema, so testing is critical.
The simplest way to test a website backup is to use a fresh machine and build the database and files from the backup and check that the site loads and doesn't throw errors.
Be sure to test often though. It's easy for errors to creep in, or files to be added to the server without being added to the backup scheme. The subject of regression testing backups and automating the backup verfication process is defintely out of the scope of this post!
In the next post I'll detail how to set up a simple Rsnapshot server to back up one or more remote sites over FTPS.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Augusta University head baseball coach Chris Howell announced on Friday morning that Augusta native and former professional baseball player Josh Whitaker has joined the athletics staff as the assistant baseball coach for the Jaguars.
"We are excited to bring Josh into the Jaguar program," Howell said. "He brings years of professional playing experience and an infectious energy back to his hometown of Augusta. We are lucky to have him on the staff and can't wait for the 2017 season."
Whitaker was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 25th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft from Kennesaw State University. He spent seven seasons in the minor leagues as a primary outfielder and first baseman. Whitaker spent his first six seasons in the Oakland system before heading to Pennsylvania to compete with the Lancaster Barnstormers.
For his pro career, Whitaker competed with the Lancaster Barnstormers (2016), Midland RockHounds (2015, 2014, 2013), Sacramento River Cats (2014), Stockton Ports (2013, 2012), Arizona League Athletics (2013, 2010), Burlington Bees (2011), and the Vancouver Canadians (2010).
In 2016 as a starting outfielder for the Lancaster Barnstormers (Lancaster, Pa.) in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, Whitaker hit .285 with 65 hits, 30 RBI, and 33 runs scored. His 20 doubles were the fourth most for the team and his six long balls were the eighth most.
Over his seven seasons of professional baseball, Whitaker posted a .277 career batting average with 83 home runs, 599 hits, and 354 RBI. He totaled 148 doubles and nine triples in his 573 games played.
Born Josh Wesley Whitaker in Grovetown, Ga., on Feb. 8 1989, the new assistant returns home to the CSRA to assist Howell and the program. Whitaker attended Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Ga., after spending high school at Augusta Christian in Martinez, Ga.
He played four successful years of varsity baseball at Augusta Christian School where he was named the SCISA AAA Statewide Player of the Year after his senior season. An All-State, All-Region and first team All-County selection his senior year, Whitaker helped lead his team to three-straight AAA high school state championships.
In the summer of 2016, Whitaker obtained his bachelor's degree from Ashford University. On Feb. 7, 2014 he married Katelyn Whitaker. They have two children, John-Wesley and Whitley.
