Maison et Objet, renowned as the design Mecca, still today it's the
headliner show even with all the trade shows in the world, none quite
compare to the thrill of heading to this collection of talent and
innovation all in one place. It's truly one of the great events in
modern day Paris, staggering both in size and bewilderment of the unique
treasures laid before you, new and creative and fresh each year.
My brother had given me a few guidelines on what to look for, I knew we
needed coffee tables and giftware as our customers thrive off our
smaller items.
After running up to Sacre Couer and seeing the City of Lights at
sunrise, I felt warm and romanced by the beauty around me, and ready for
the day ahead.
Maison et Objet is set in the Parc des Expositions and it's a bit of a
trek to get there, but well worth the trip if you're a buyer or lover of
all things for the home.
With only The NEC and Earls Court Furniture trade shows to compare it
to, I arrived at the satellite of 8 halls all under one roof, it looked
pretty enormous from the outside and I worried that I wouldn't be able
to take it all in within the two day spectrum, this wonderland of design
with miles of eye candy from all over Europe, takes time to figure out,
I was there to look at competitors, new furniture designers, something
spectacular that could fit in our ever growing exciting range.
I started off the day in Hall 7, the new designers Hall, Most of the
furniture looked like a set from 1980's Hanna Barbera's The Jetsons
Some examples below:
These ergonomic chairs were upholstered in neoprene, the same fabric
used to make wet suits.
So with all the Perspex and hi-tec fabric this furniture reminded me of
star wars meets the jetsons, I imagined the type of home it was designed
for, perhaps a flat pack lodge by the sea, or a sustainable glass house
in the foothills of Devon, I'd seen this sort of design before and it
wasn't really doing anything for me, it was all too reminiscent of the
iPod, not as straight corner in sight, perfectly fit for our health and
safety cotton wool world, the new future.
I did think this lamp was quite nice and it reminded me of the old
Singer sewing machines, It might be a idea to get some and try to adapt
them into lamps if All Saints Fashion Company haven't bought up all the
old stock that is.
I got chatting to some designers and liked their ideas of using the
working factories of France to bring their ideas to fruition. For
example a small company called 2222 Edition Design, designer Jean-Claude
Cardiet had made this magical lamp:
The head is made of Limoges porcelain and the horn is made of opaline,
covered with a twisted blown glass making it a magical night when its
horn diffuses a soft light through the room ...
It got me thinking about our facility in Blackpool to make our own
creations and use local factories and craftsmen if we need to create
statement pieces that reflect our hometown and give Febland more of an
identity with its surroundings.
My Grandfather was a lover of detailed Capo di Monte pieces as is my
father, and he has carried that through to today in his buying ethos,
there is definitely a strong Italian identity running through our range
and most of our frames for custom made orders are imported from Italy
however I feel we must further tie the Blackpool-Italian connection
together and there are unlimited ways of doing this now.
Ideas that come to mind are Blackpool Tower lamps, ranges in bold
primary colours and pastel shades,
Footstools with british flags upholstered on them like this, with big
ben or black tower for legs:
On of the busiest stands in Hall 8 was Chehoma, they were like the Coach
House of Britain, they must have had over 10,000 products in their
range, there was something for everyone on this stand, the above
footstool caught my eye and Its something which I believe we will be
able to make in house to our own specification.
Themes that stood out in the furniture halls of 4 and 5 were nautical,
industrial, bachelor pad-esque, strong oak furniture, thick cut glass
with attached to old rail sleepers, slick glass extending tables with
their mechanics revealed, like the inside of a clock, it was all quite
exciting and you could see the stars of the show were making intelligent
furniture, structurally engineered pieces reminiscent of torpedoes,
aeronautical equipment. The juxtaposition of materials was very
interesting and shows that the furniture is mirroring society as borders
are broken and boundaries are crossing more than ever before.
Interesting pieces I found were:
The Marie-Galante Make up Trunk made in Rosewood, the company selling
them were called Stargate, they are already a best seller in the Conran
The Princess table by Olgoj Chorchoj
is now being
produced by Process
after its debut at 100% Design London last year.
Candles by Pont a la Ligne, the quality here was outstanding and they do
a range of food and flowers and seaside themes which would fit our
Hubert Le G alle's Statement Flower Coffee Table, absolutely stunning.
Animal shaped photo cushions by Areaware they looked amazing grouped
together on a sofa.
Their spring catalogue is definitely worth a look:
An idea of what to do with all our surplus fabric patches here:
It's the most exciting time because of this, now feels like a good time
to take risks, anything goes, ranges are broad, companies went all out
and showed everything, with no blank spaces to be seen, a huge mish mash
of colours, objects and it all worked. Strong themes throughout the
show were animals, animal hide, animal objects, stuffed animals, fish,
sharks, vitrines, science, the collector, colonialism, the theme was
actually entitled "crazy" and I have to say that out of all the trade
shows I've been too, it was probably the most pretentious one and I
viewed it like I'd just been to an exhibition at the Venice Biennalle.
The mish mash of materials, post modern objects were intriguing and told
a story about industry and culture today, it was inspiring and
captivating, confusing and messy and hardly any of them sold a lifestyle
I wanted to be in, I just took the objects with their rich history and
decided that Feblands, with its humble beginnings, has a strong identity
and knows where it is and where its going, we just need to keep it going
and use our in-house talent to come up with our own range of furniture
that tells the story clearer about a little town called Blackpool with
big ideas so it will put us on the worldwide map have people awing at
our products.
Most furniture companies are importing from the far east and all the
stands were peppered with small accessories, there were lots of Ceramic
figurines like our own, mainly in different colours other than our
chrome range, some doubled up as useful objects like bookends for
example a hippo's head and front legs at one end of the shelf and its
rear legs at the other. This was quite a nice idea, as after a few
hours of walking round an expo you begin to see the amount of excess and
build up and you start to feel a little nauscious at the fact that not
much of it has any use and therefore anything that has a purpose becomes
a bonus. I thought that some of our old car models could do with an
update, perhaps a coat of silver or white paint would update them or
incorporate them into a coffee table by embedding them into the base or
making them the legs.
A Blackpool range is a definite must for us, this could be done in a way
were we look back at Victorian Blackpool and take note of some of the
remaining architecture, the old photos , and perhaps make a range of
chairs upholstered in deckchair stripe, beach hut style fab
ric, also
look at Blackpool's rich circus history, we could make CP balloon dogs, Jeff Koons
acrobats, totum poled animals reminiscent of the Peter Blake sculpture
on south beach.

The Milan Furniture Show was special this year. It was number 50 and for the last 6 years it was held in April in the superb fair grounds at Rho on the west side of Milan. I can tell you that all the exhibitors made a really big effort to bring something sensational and inviting to the stands, some of which were immense yet tasteful by and large. In Milan the show does not just grind to a halt at 6pm, Oh no, it goes into the city centre after hours and if you have not gorged yourself sufficiently on the innovations and classics at the Fair you get invited into the cocktail and canapés parties surrounding the centre where every empty shop and hotel lobby is stuffed with more products and a hubbub is created arising from the multiplicity of tongues and exotic nature of the visitors. Of course the thing about Milan is that everything is 'design' based. Comfort, affordability, utility are overlooked in the battle to promote the designer's renown.
One sees a lot of designery people at the show and around town, they seem to wear the mandatory gaily coloured muffler wrapped around their ears despite the 30 degree heat and they all sport unusual names. If you want to be a designer a name like Luigi Rossi won't cut the mustard, sorry Luigi, try something with a double 'K' in it or a soubriquet.
That sounds like a piece of granite crumbling under a steam hammer, and don't forget the yellow framed specs.
Milan fair is graced by 20 halls and the Furniture show is in several parts. One hall called Satellite is full of prototype artefacts which some hopefuls have invented and are in search of an angel to back their project or better still produce and develop the invention. Hence if you think a piece of string that turns into a sofa would take off, then Satellite is your Hall.
Every 2 years the Furniture Fair hosts Euroluce, the lighting fair and this year it occupied 3 massive halls some 2 kilometres away from your arrival point. It looks like the Italians have finally made Led lighting into a viable option. How many Italians are not needed to change a light bulb? As usual there are the massive chandeliers made for palaces in the desert as well as illuminated shark fins which you are supposed to put on the carpet to create the impression that your lounge is infested with sharks. There is a section for neon lights which are amazing as well as being largely impractical unless you live in a circus tent.
Then I saw the office furniture which is dominated by examples of executive's desks. Status is very important to the Italians and if you are not a giant like Berlusconi it is imperative to sit behind an enormous desk which sports a designer signature. As computers get slimmer and devices get smaller so the desk gets bigger and must be uncluttered at all times to denote that you have coped adequately with you daily load of garbage.
On arrival at the Milan Fair, when you have stopped gawking at the architectural marvels of the ambience, you will be asked to fork out 40 euros for three visits, bad luck if you only want to go twice, it still costs 40 euros. Then you definitely need a catalogue of the exhibitors. Prepare to fork out a further 35 euros. This catalogue covers only the furniture side so if you have the strength to carry them you need 4 catalogues before you start getting pressured by all and sundry to take a leaflet, a brochure, a coupon or a magazine at strategic points along your journey to Hall 1.
I anticipated a decline in the number of attendees at the show but no such evidence! The Chinese were out in force laying their new money on the eagerly awaiting Italian manufacturers, the Russians with large cash deposits were also prominent and loud. Perhaps there were less people form the Persian Gulf but the ones who were about seemed to be buying loads of classical furniture but perhaps more of a tasteful nature than the perennial baroque with gold leaf.
The only British I saw were the UK agents of the big firms and they seemed intent on going home before the end of the show.
My overall impression is that Italy is doing things right. They have continued to manufacture and renovate their ideas and have not turned to importing in the same compulsive way as we have in the UK. They must have had a few lean years and unemployment in Italy is still high but the people who make things are still doing their thing and are shameless about their asking prices but good luck to them. Let's take a leaf out of their book and start making stuff again.
A house can be furnished beautifully from top to bottom with the latest designer furniture but it is not complete without those personal touches that turn it into a home. Those touches are what we call accessories. Possibly not essential but nevertheless reflecting something of the life style peculiar to the dweller therein, we need these accessories as much as a bed needs a pillow and a wall needs a picture. For those of us in the furniture and furnishings business a bunch of accessories may turn a mediocre day's take into a goodly one. I hear the tale too often that the figures for a day were only made up by a heavy sprinkling of small sales, after all your clients can only buy one sofa or one dining table per house but will soak up mini - mountains of cushions, myriads of mirrors and flower vases galore.
When do accessories turn into 'clutter'? It's not for us to judge because we need to keep selling just as the customers need to be tempted. Sometimes the juxtaposition of the right dish or ornament on a coffee table makes the discerning punter see the possibility of the piece in his or her home. Often it is the unusual colour of a rug or throw on a piece of upholstery that makes the prospective client reach for their credit card and purchase the cunning combination little realising that they have been into several furniture shops and the self-same piece of furniture failed to shout 'buy me!' until it was adorned by the piece of accessorisation in your shop.
Feblands have been in the accessory business a long time and over the years we have developed a nose or perhaps an eye for the exotic and affordable accessory range. Currently we are having a lot of success with our mosaic fruit ornaments and our silver ceramic ornaments such as the splash dish shown. Large important pieces of glass are taking off in starter quantities as people nowadays tend not to collect collectables but restrict themselves more often than not to that one statement piece. Unlike furniture, accessories can be great gifts. You give to your dear ones something of your own taste and why not find such icons in a furniture shop instead of a chain store or the shopping mall? Besides, a little investment in an accessory range will pay dividends in terms of lifting the display within and you can bet your bottom dollar that if your sell the desirable object d'art from the floor today, and it's the last one available, three people will come after it tomorrow.
What is the connection between the Italian Prime Minister and Tiger Woods? A disparate pair if ever there were one. On one hand we have the stubby but energetic, 73 year old politician who is surrounded by scandal and rumours of miscreance, bribery and infidelity and on the other hand the clean cut, 34 year old athletic mega rich champion golfer. Yet the news of their nemesis comes as a delicious piece of schadenfreud for many of us.
The great golfer having to try and remember all his misdeeds to recount them to his lovely wife and mother in law so they can ratchet up the matrimonial stakes to something prohibitive, should he go off the rails again and the Italian head of state being royally clonked with a cast metal statuette of the Milan Duomo, presumably with the madonnina to the fore, hence the broken teeth.
Do we feel that destiny played a part or is it all due to our speed of light communication systems nowadays that eventually all naughty boys will be discovered and shamed? I think most red-blooded males would have done a lot more screwing around than the Tiger if they could wield a nib lick in similar fashion and I think most 70 year old brethren would be pleased to have enough libido to feel arousal at the intimacy of some budding female politician without going through the laborious stages of of having to remove one's shoes and socks.
The Italian macho cult lives on and even the Italian women admire Berlusconi because he is predictably venal and fallible and does not have to show off his upper-body muscularity like Mr Putin to impress his subjects. With Berlusconi you got no surprises except perhaps that the alleged attacker was not all compos mentis when one would expect some sane and rational bloke would have done what half the nation expected some time ago.
On the other hand the gradually unfolding saga of Tiger Wood's indiscretions is to be savoured deliciously especially by those of us who go round in over 100 and have never had a hole in one. We never thought that the buttoned up Yank would be linked to a porn star ( blimey, I wonder if she had a camera rigged up?) and all the ladies are in a quandary as to whether they should keep silent now and reap praise and comfort later or to join the list of seductresses who lay in wait for the brilliant young player who may have felt he missed his chance of having a few profligate years before wedlock because his Dad kept making him practice putting the ball instead of poking the pudding.
One way or another the Berlusconi attack and the Woods revelations have cheered us all up whilst our masters are in Copenhagen pretending we can all do without our family car and annual flight to Benidorm. If the world has got to end soon Berlusconi has more chance of getting out of it than Tiger who now will have to actually consider the value of the prizes he needs to earn while his loving and understanding family chip away at the considerable residue.
I wonder if you are subjected to exposure issuing from the idiot-box early on Saturday nights? I am talking about the X-factor on the telly. It's compulsive compelling viewing and must have a tremendous audience judging by the rich array of adverts that occur every 5 minutes and last an eternity. Plenty of advertisers leaping on the band-wagon. It occurred to me that the programme panders to our sadistic delight in humiliating the poor untalented nonentities who think they are possessed with the lungs of a nightingale.
Certain contestants have improved their chances by recounting tales of hardship, disease and bad luck through which they have battled courageously to fling themselves on the mercy of 4 overpaid judges sitting in the middle of a baying crowd of music lovers. Yes we love a trier but even more so we love a loser who sings worse than us. Like the viewers in an art gallery standing bewildered before a Jackson Pollock, they know that little Tommy paints better than him, and he's only 6 yrs old and as for the black square by Rothko, how can you call it art? Unlike the mausoleum atmosphere of an art gallery, the X- factor is conducted in utter chaos with no shortage of loud opinion issuing from the orifices of the cultured multitude.
But what is not revealed to the viewers, but seems pretty obvious when you consider the masses of applicants, is that a team of pre-judges sift through the applicants before they get selected to go onto the stage in front of the cameras. Such pre-judges are tasked with looking out for contestants who think they are marvelous but in fact are possessed of the musical talent of a sewer drain in Calcutta. Hence when they start performing it feeds our sadism and humiliates the poor bugger who can't keep time, has no rhythm, forgets the words and croaks like a wounded bull frog.
We love it but is it good television or simply a Roman amphitheater with Cowell sitting there like a replete Nero with his thumb down, passing the death sentence of the very contestant who is enriching his coffers?
So I now know how to get that precious 3 minutes of glory. I will be unbelievably self confident, outrageously dressed and utterly failing the first interview as so to be sure of getting exposure. Then, when it is my turn, I will sing like an angel, make my relatives cry with schmaltz induced joy, wow the audience into stunned silence followed by explosive applause. Definitely off to boot camp and a decent meal at last.
Who cares about selling furniture - Simon's a good egg.

Much Needed Stress Relief
JP thought he was alone, but maintenance man Dominic took a nap in one of the hotel rooms and surprises him on his way out. It's perfect timing, the handsome young man needs someone to talk to, but of course he gets more than that! Dominic knows how to relieve the stress for JP, his meaty uncut cock is soon out for sucking, returning the favor on JP's perfectly long and smooth uncut British dick. With both cocks hard and wet with spit and precum Dominic focuses his efforts on that ass, first rimming the boy then plunging his solid shaft into him! Nothing can cheer a guy up more than a good hard fucking, it certainly does the trick for JP as he spews his cream from his cock and takes a messy load in the face from his handy man! Something tells me JP will start the following day with renewed vigor.

text: During all these years visiting my grandparents, I never took the time to visit this charming place. A place where you have an amazing view on the villages around and a statue of "the Virgin". After a walk in the wood, you face the horizon and see the Virgin's back. She is standing quietly, draped in white, opening her arms to the villages' inhabitants. Discovering this place has been a mix of nostalgia, excitement and sadness. Nostalgia because I spent all my childhood in these villages and I miss the time when my beloved grandparents were there; excitement to discover a new place full of charm and so different from where I live now; sadness because discovering this place so late reminds me how elusive the time can be.

Heralded as "the finest surf movie ever made," Five Summer Stories is a cultural icon, a time capsule from a watershed era when the world was at a critical crossroads and its reflection was clear in the emerging sport/art of surfing. Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon years, Five Summer Stories was the culmination of the joint surf-film careers of Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray. Code name "The Last Surfing Movie" during production, the movie portrays a young, outlaw sport at a strategic point in its creative evolution--and at a historical crux in time. Now you, too, can do what audiences of the 1970s did--you can hoot and scream and go crazy--all in the privacy of your own home.

Fix, Film, Share: The Platform That Solves People's Problems
Fixperts is an online platform that brings together designers, creators, and filmmakers to help someone facing a challenge.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; come up with a creative answer to a man's food shortage, share the knowledge online as a video, and then many people are fed for a lifetime.
That's Fixperts' philosophy in a nutshell - identify a problem, solve the problem, share the solution online in a video. The open knowledge sharing platform values the power of 'fixing' to solve everyday problems - whether it's organizing a messy closet for a dressmaker or creating a hands-free mirror for a man with one functioning arm.
What these solutions have in common is the creativity, hard work and heaps of imagination that go into them. Take Benny's case as an example: Benny walks unsteadily due to his cerebral palsy, which also means it's hard for him to stay dry when he has to hold an umbrella in the rain. So what do fixperts Shahar and Sagi do? They come up with prototypes, have Benny test them, tweak, refine, modify - until they develop an umbrella with an adjusted grip and clip to keep it fixed and steady.
As a knowledge sharing platform that also helps others, Fixperts is a beautiful marriage of creativity and design in order to make positive change.

LINCOLN- Candidates are asked to be mindful of state and local laws guiding the placement of campaign signs. Secretary of State Bob Evnen says, "We are moving into the business time of election season. While campaign teams are eager to place signs in the most visible locations they must ask permission of landowners to avoid complaints of nuisance and trespassing on property."
Campaign teams need to know the guidelines for signs to avoid public violations as well. Campaign signs have started to appear in places they do not belong, such as state rights-of-way. These include intersections, medians, shoulders, road entrances, and exits, sidewalks and ditches. It is a matter of public safety.
The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) does not want drivers becoming distracted by signage and they need to ensure the safety of employees who mow and maintain these right-of ways. In rare cases signs are permitted in rights-of-way, those must be approved in advance by NDOT.
Local ordinances also restrict the placement and size of campaign materials. Violation of local sign ordinances may result in a fine.
Secretary Evnen emphasizes that campaign teams and candidates should become acquainted with the rules in order to avoid fines or sign removal by NDOT. "As we move into the busiest part of elections when debating, campaigning and early voting begins, it is important to know the rules for signage," Evnen says.

Hull Court Gate, Digital Art By Leon Sarantos Displayed At Art Takes Times Square
Hull Court Gate, At Art Takes Times Square
My digital art, Hull Court Gate, was one of the artworks selected for display on Times Square this past Monday! The photo is part of my Digital Gothic series of scenes from the Gothic Revival architecture on the University of Chicago campus.
Art Takes Times Square
This event was hosted by Artists Wanted in New York City. There were about 35,000 artworks submitted for this event from all across the world. One million people voted on the contest entries. So I am very grateful to all those who voted to display my art on the billboards at Times Square, and to the event curators who selected Hull Court Gate for display. The event took place Monday June 18, 2012, from 7pm to 11pm. My art was displayed on a billboard at Broadway and 43rd Street. A lively crowd of artists and art fans enjoyed watching artworks stream across the billboards.
"An event like this is a celebration of the city, of the artists … of the creative culture that New York City fosters," said Artists Wanted CEO William Etundi Jr.

Rogers Park ArtWalk 2011 Exhibition
Rogers Park ArtWalk is a project of Rogers Park Business Alliance: A storefront art installation within the Glenwood Avenue Arts District
October 15 to November 6, 2011
Young Lady With Long Pipe by Leon Sarantos is at Act One Pub / Mayne Stage 1328 W. Morse Ave
Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) presents the 1st Annual Rogers Park ArtWalk during Chicago Artist Month. The curated sidewalk exhibition will take place from Saturday, October 15 through Sunday, November 6, 2011 along the Glenwood Avenue Arts District in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. This event was created to be part of Chicago Artist Month which has been held every year throughout October by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture in collaboration with more than 200 program partners. Chicago Artist Month aims to showcase the extraordinary talent and vibrancy of Chicago's art community.The exhibition consists of a gallery of artwork displayed in windows of local businesses in a walking path including the information center at RPBA's office. Each artist submitted paintings or art pieces that were handmade by the individual and not mass-produced to keep the originality of the exhibit. Storefronts display art from 25 invited professional artists. This lively mix brings life to the Glenwood Avenue Arts District. ArtWalk organizers view this event as both a blissful cultural month and a boost to the local community.
Free Customer Parking at Misión Cristiana Elim parking lot 1615 W. Morse Ave. (Ashland & Morse) every day from 8:00 am to 3:00 am WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS: no parking Fridays from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, no parking Sundays until 5:00 pm. LOT TOWED AT 3:00 AM DAILY.
Mile of Murals The Mile of Murals is a community public art project that is creating a mile of murals along the concrete embankment of CTA Red Line tracks within the Glenwood Avenue Arts District from Pratt to Touhy on both sides of the tracks. This summer we are continuing the project with a new installment on the east side of Glenwood Avenue from Morse to Lunt. Local artists Lea Pinsky and Dustin Harris coordinated this wall; they led last year's block-long mural from Lunt to Greenleaf. For this project RPBA and Clark/
Morse/Glenwood SSA #24 recruited, coordinated and oversaw a small group of professional artists that worked together as a cooperative: Diana Berek, Chiara Padgett and Juan Carlos Perez. This year's theme for the project is "Patriotism in Everyday Life".
Street Sculptures 12 sculptures were created by local resident, artist and business owner Andy DeLaRosa (B1E Gallery) and other artists working at his gallery to be displayed on the street. These pieces of art, created entirely of recycled materials, are displayed on the sidewalk on Morse Avenue as a permanent exhibition.

David Bowie's 1969 demo tape, recorded in an effort to secure a record contract with Mercury Records, will be released as The Mercury Demos on June 28th.
The 10-song vinyl release, featuring nine unreleased tracks, feature early versions of Space Oddity tracks like "Janine," "An Occasional Dream," "Letter to Hermione" and "Space Oddity"; the version of "Space Oddity" here previously featured on the Sound & Vision box set, the lone recording from The Mercury Demos that has been released.
The Mercury Demos, which Bowie recorded alongside guitarist John Hutchison, also features covers of Roger Bunn's "Life Is a Circus" and the Lesley Duncan-penned "Love Song," later popularized by Elton John. Pre-Space Oddity tracks like "Ching-a-Ling" and "Lover to the Dawn" are also included.

MERCURY DEMOS LP BOX DUE IN JUNE "I recall how we lived on the corner of a bed…" As part of the ongoing Space Oddity 50 celebrations and following the recent Spying Through A Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos collections, Parlophone is releasing a further set of recordings known as The 'Mercury' Demos on 28th June 2019. The 'Mercury' Demos are 10 early Bowie recordings captured live in one take to a Revox reel to reel tape machine in David's flat in spring 1969, with Bowie on vocals, guitar and Stylophone and with accompaniment from John 'Hutch' Hutchinson on guitar and vocals. The version of 'Space Oddity' from the Demos, originally released with edits on the S&V box, is presented here in its true context for the first time. The other recordings on the album are all previously unreleased. In addition to Bowie originals, the session also includes the Roger Bunn's Life Is A Circus (which features as an earlier demo version on the Clareville Grove Demos set) and the Lesley Duncan composition, Love Song, later recorded by Elton John for his Tumbleweed Connection album. David's own Conversation Piece is announced as 'a new song' and Janine features a short section sung to the melody of The Beatles' Hey Jude. The session was a document of the 'Bowie & Hutch' duo's set of the time recorded at the request of Mercury Records A&R man Calvin Mark Lee for his boss Bob Reno. Both Calvin and Bob are referenced during the 41-minute recording which was key in securing David his deal with Mercury Records. The 'Mercury' Demos comes in a replica of the original tape box and will feature 1 mono 33 1/3 rpm vinyl LP, a print, two photo contact sheets and sleeve notes by Mark Adams. The labels of the LP feature the same EMIDISC acetate styling as Spying Through A Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos with the song titles in David's own handwriting. Side 1 Space Oddity Janine An Occasional Dream Conversation Piece Ching-a-Ling I'm Not Quite (aka Letter To Hermione) Side 2 Lover To The Dawn Love Song When I'm Five Life Is A Circus #BowieTheMercuryDemos
"The session was a basic recording of the 'Bowie & Hutch' duo's set list at the time and was committed to tape at the request of Mercury Records A&R man Calvin Mark Lee who wanted the tracks to send them to his boss Bob Reno," Bowie's site said of the release. "Both Calvin and Bob are referenced during the 41-minute recording, and the demos were key in securing David his recording deal with Mercury Records."
The Mercury Demos, available to preorder now through Bowie's website, comes in a replica of the original tape box – complete with Bowie's own handwritten (and error-filled) track list – and features a mono 33 1/3 rpm vinyl LP, a print, two photo contact sheets and sleeve notes.
In 2018, Parlophone released a collection of Bowie demo recordings made in 1968, Spying Through a Keyhole. The Clareville Grove Demos, a collection of six songs spread across three 7″ singles, arrived earlier this year.

ALLIANCE, Ohio-- No. 11 ranked Mount Union defeated Heidelberg 93-80 to clinch at least a share of the Ohio Athletic Conference men's basketball regular season title and the No. 1 in seed in the OAC Tournament Saturday at the MAAC.
The Purple Raiders have now won 12 games in a row and stand at 20-3 overall and 15-1 in the OAC. It marks the fifth 20-win season in school history with four of them coming over the last seven seasons.
Before the game Mount Union honored its six seniors Nathan Bower-Malone (Stow), John Carroll (Massillon / Tuslaw), Marcus Day (Winchester / Eastern Brown), D'Vontay Friga (Cuyahoga Falls), Mo Johnson (Euclid / Villa Angela Saint Joseph) and Tanner Slack (New Concord / John Glenn).
Bower-Malone had a game-high 22 points and seven assists and Friga finished with a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Mount Union. The Raiders also got 17 points from Collen Gurley (Akron / Hoban) and 14 from junior Logan Hill (Massillon / Jackson).
Tamal Watkins had 19 to lead three in double digits for Heidelberg (10-13, 8-8 OAC).
Heidelberg led early on 10-9 with 16:26 left in the first half until Mount Union scored 22 of the next 26 points and eventually led 53-35 at halftime. Friga and Gurley each had 10 in the first half to lead the Raiders.
Bower-Malone scored nine of the first 11 points in the second half for the Raiders in an 11-4 run to stretch the lead to 64-39. Mount Union got its largest lead of 31 points when Bower-Malone hit his two free throws to lead 72-41 with just over 13 minutes to play. Heidelberg rallied to get it to nine points, 86-75 with 2:17 remaining but not no closer as the Raiders closed the game out.
Mount Union hosts Baldwin Wallace in the regular season home finale, Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. at The MAAC.

We start this West Seattle Crime Watch roundup with a reader report:
CAR PROWL: From southwest of The Junction, Kyle reports:
My fiancée woke up to her car open and rummaged through this morning at 730 am. The neighbors' car was also open. No damage was noted and only minor beauty products were stolen. Incident happened in the alley between 48th Ave SW and 49th, and between Hudson and Dawson.
And the following four recent West Seattle incidents now have narratives available via the Seattle Police website:
'BB' SHOOTINGS: Police were called last Saturday (March 4th) night at 7:22 pm to a "disturbance" reported at 60th SW/SW Stevens. They found the callers at their nearby home and talked to a victim who said "he was playing at the park playground with his two friends," when he noticed an "unidentified adult male behind the bushes near him and his friends … (he) felt that he needed to leave the area because he was not sure what the unidentified male was doing …" As soon as the victim started running home, he told police, out of nowhere "three unidentified males started to chase after them" and the victim heard "loud repeating noises as if someone was shooting at them with a BB gun." A BB, he said, struck his backpack, and he heard "pinging" noises as if vehicles were being hit. The victim and his friends said they didn't get a good look at the people chasing them, except to describe them as "three males wearing dark clothing." Police subsequently searching the playground area were flagged down by two residents who said they heard BB gun shots while having dinner at their home; they went outside and noticed a "black 4-door sedan-type Acura or Lexus driving by their house very fast." One of the residents told police someone in that vehicle "shot at him" and that he was hit in the left arm but he declined medical attention because the BB didn't break his skin. The other resident said the person shot toward a window of their house, but there were no signs of damage, and police didn't find any damage anywhere else, either.
SHOOTING THREAT: In the 7100 block of 18th SW at 11:41 am last Saturday (March 4th) morning, police got a call about someone allegedly pointing a gun at a person who had yelled at them as they sped by. The victim reported it was a "dark-colored, 4-door Camry, possibly 2008 model, with dark-tinted windows." He got a partial plate (redacted in the report). He said he yelled at the vehicle as it spend by; the car stopped a short distance away and someone got out, pointing a handgun at the man and threatening to shoot him, while also calling him the N-word. Then the person got back into the car and drove away. The victim told police the man was black, 20s-30s, 6 feet tall, short black hair with possible dreadlocks, and a black hooded sweatshirt.
BURGLARY: In the 6700 block of 21st SW around 3:30 last Thursday (March 2nd) afternoon, police were called to what originally was described as "suspicious circumstances" but turned out to be a break-in. Someone noticed a gate had been cut and "items strewn all over the yard." Officers found a sliding door had been pried open at the back of the house, which had been ransacked. Several sheds on the property also had been broken into. Power tools were missing from a shed. Police found possible fingerprint evidence at several points around the scene, including a "coconut drink in the kitchen that may have been removed and touched by the suspect."
The fourth now-available report is about an incident we covered the day it happened:
ROBBERY DETAILS: We reported on an armed robbery at the Shell station in The Triangle (Fauntleroy/Alaska) last Saturday afternoon. The full police report is now available. It says the cashier noticed a green Honda Civic in front of the business; the robber got out of the car, went inside and up to the counter, put a black backpack on the counter and pulled "what appeared to be a black semi-automatic handgun" from it. The robber demanded money; she took cash from the register and gave it to him. He demanded that the safe be opened and she explained there's no safe. He then demanded Newport cigarettes, and she "handed him an unknown number" of packs. He then ran out and drove away in what turned out to be a car that had been stolen the day before. The robber was described as an Asian man, 5-7, slim, short black hair, black jacket, black scarf over his face from below his eyes to his neck. Police ran the plate number from the getaway car, meantime, and discovered it was stolen (the plate is redacted on the report, but the incident number listed checks to a theft reported early Saturday morning in West Seattle, in the 5400 block of 34th SW).
(Editor's note, 10:15 pm: Dates corrected for the first three police-report-narrative recaps)

#2628 new project
Be smarter about launching connections to authorities to learn about clock skew
|Reported by:

|Core Tor/Tor
|tor-client clock-skew AffectsTails
|ioerror, adrelanos@…, catalyst, intrigeri
|Actual Points:
|Parent ID:
While applying altf4's code related to bug1074, some possible enhancements came up. They wouldn't be too hard to do.
Right now, we notice clock skew for two reasons: a time from a netinfo cell is different from ours, and a time in an HTTP response header is different from ours. In the netinfo case, if the skew came from an authority, we believe it. If not, and we haven't gotten a netinfo from an authority, we launch an OR connection to an authority.
In fact, we should be a bit more sophisticated:
- Any authenticated time from an authority should count as "hearing the time from an authority". This includes not only netinfo cells but also authenticated directory connections.
- Maybe, skew information from regular HTTP responses should also count as "hearing that we are skewed from a non-authority".
- Instead of keeping track of *whether* we've heard the correct time from an authority, we should keep track of *when* we heard from the authority. In other words, if we last heard about the correct time from an authority an hour ago and somebody else disagrees with them, the authority is probably right. But if we last heard about the correct time a week ago, we might want to ask again.

comment:1 Changed 10 years ago by
Generally the way I think it should work is that if we learn from a certain fraction of sources of time we have access to (our bridges, our guards/directory guards) that our clock is skewed we should try to get an opinion with higher authority. This could be either a few more directory mirrors, or directory authorities (depending on how much we've learned so far). Once we're pretty sure our time is wrong we should warn the user.
Additionally, I think we should implement that config option that allows you to say "my clock is skewed by X seconds". To go along with it, there should be an option to automatically adjust that configuration value as we learn about clock skew from a reliable source (n directory authorities for example). This could be turned on for TBB and live CDs etc, basically for Tor setups that are supposed to work anywhere without the necessary admin rights/VM controls/etc required to change the system time.
A few more things to consider here are:
- Bridge users: Making direct connections to the directory authorities is not only not feasible, but also actively harmful. Any solution that we come up with should take this into account by either special-casing bridge users or not requiring direct connections to the directory authority. Same goes for regular clients who picked directory guards (once we have them).
- Directory authority load: If a bunch of relays have the wrong time and clients connect to directory authorities too often, this will be a big overhead (because we'd want the time data to be authenticated).
- Implementation complexity: If we only do the first idea I presented above, the complexity is likely too high for not enough gain. If we do the latter however we need it.

Adding two ideas from Nick and Roger, turning this ticket into a sponsor Z project ticket, and taking away the "easy" tag, because this requires at least some design.
- Nick says: "There's also a little coding challenge in that we'd need the ability to provisionally receive directory information and build circuits while our clock was skewed. Right now, we trust our clock, and reject information that's too far in the past or future. But we'd need a way to provisionally accept information instead, but not use it to build circuits for user traffic until we became convinced that it was still usable after correcting our clocks."
- Roger says: "Also include plans to export the correct time via the controller interface so e.g. Tails LiveCD can use it to set its system time."

This ticket is tagged SponsorZ, but it looks like progress stalled a while ago. Is this still a thing that needs funding? Is it being addressed under other tickets?

This is probably fundable under some broader heading, like "getting time right" or "better supporting clients that don't have a good view of the current time." But this specific item is probably not fundable per se.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're a family with special needs. And if you're living in the inner-city, with all its challenges? It's even harder. That's why we are working to make Family Retreats accessible to urban families – we want parents (including single moms) of kids with disabilities to experience all the heartwarming fun and inspiration that every family enjoys at a Joni and Friends Retreat! Recently we completed our first Urban Family Retreat at a mountain conference center near LA, ministering to 22 families of various colors and cultures – many came to Christ!
Marlene is a single mother whose son, Joey, struggles with multiple disabilities (including speech problems and renal failure). She came to camp having no idea what God's Word says about her son's disability. Like the rest of the families, Marlene's weary heart was totally refreshed by the Christ-centered love of our STM's and she got a whole new perspective on disability from the daily messages of our camp pastor. Pray with us that Urban Family Retreats will take hold as we reach deep into America's cities to give the help and hope of Jesus!

Bitcoin is a type of crypto-currency that has actually transformed the on-line monetary market. In terms of financing, this is an incredibly introducing idea. The Bitcoin money value is identified by an algorithm, as well as everything is transparent for everybody involved, so no person has any surprises. Central companies cannot control the materials of Bitcoin in contrast to fiat currencies. The world supply of Bitcoins is limited to 21 million. Just like any other technology, Bitcoin delights in the support of many followers that adore this idea. They love it a lot that they spread everything around and also took it to an additional degree. Bitcoin takes pleasure in the assistance of many lovers and also it can truly confirm to shape a superb future in terms of finance, particularly considering that it offers the power of money back to the people as well as not to a central control.
The Bitcoin currency is most definitely right here to remain and it is not a straightforward fad. Everyone is looking for means to enhance Bitcoin in terms of equipment and also methods of work. The exchanges are putting everything they have in the effectiveness and also the security of this system. Many business owners take a chance and also develop their companies around this suggestion. The venture capital funds sustain jobs that are connected to Bitcoin written by BitmexResources Coin base raised five million dollars from a couple of incredible VCs and below we can consist of the group that worked with Tumbler. The circumstances are countless, and also they all appear to sustain the idea that Bitcoin will keep its worth, even if the fiat money of a weak central federal government is taken in by run-away inflation.
Bitcoin has the power to become an excellent force in the monetary sector. And we should not come under a cynical state of mind, also if there are some recorded situations of people offering beneficial items in order to acquire Bitcoins. All points considered, the Bitcoin monetary system can conveniently coexist with the standard money existent in the world. A few of the advantages brought by Bitcoin are seen in effective markets. A Bitcoin can be split right into numerous components every part is called stash. The fiat currency is usually broken down in hundreds. The deals in this network are free, or in some cases include a small purchase fee in order to generate the miners. We are talking of approximately a tenth of one percent. If you are to contrast this with a 2 or 4 percent fee that is normally charged by the charge card business, you will certainly comprehend why this principle is so appealing.

It is important to know whether your integration's "remote" target groups in your are static or dynamic, and it's important to understand the difference. Let's look at the differences.
Static Remote Target Groups
All of the Informz Application Programming Interface integrations generate static remote target groups. These groups enter Informz as interests and they remain static until they are manually refreshed. When the underlying data changes, the results stay the same until you re-run the query. This means that the target group represents a "point in time" (like a report) and does not automatically update. You have to manually update the query in the remote system.
If you are integrating via the Informz API, you can make interest groups refresh automatically on the integration side. The YourMembership (YM) integration currently does this on a daily basis.
Dynamic Remote Target Groups
Several Informz integrations allow you to "sync on publish." This means that when you send your mailing, you'll automatically re-run your integration query to retrieve the latest data. This is what makes your remote target group dynamic; when the underlying data changes, the results automatically update. All UPI (Universal Partner) and iMIS integrations have dynamic remote target groups.
With the Informz for iMIS integration, target group information usually updates in real time. The only exception is when a subscriber is added to or removed from your iMIS database. However, you'll still experience a "sync on publish," making the remote target group dynamic.
netFORUM Pro
There is sometimes a lag in the sync between netFORUM Pro and its queries. For example, if you make changes to a query, and then immediately send to the target group generated from that query, the you may find that your changes have not yet populated in Informz. This is because the netFORUM Pro messaging job sometimes takes a few minutes to propagate in Informz. This lag typically occurs in test environments – it rarely occurs when sending a live mailing.
Refresh a List of Remote Target Groups
Remote target groups come in many shapes and sizes, and depending on your integration and needs, you'll probably create a variety of target groups to achieve your goals. You should regularly refresh via synchronization (the process by which Informz receives information from your integration) your target groups to ensure that they are up-to-date. Refreshing typically occurs through an automated process, but you can also perform a manual sync if you need to sync right away.
Refreshing your target groups is an essential part of maintaining the "health" of your data in Informz.
Refresh Target Groups
- Navigate to Subscribers > Target Groups.
- Click the Folder dropdown list and select your integration folder.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Refresh Target Group List.
Informz lets you know that the list of remote target groups is refreshing.
When complete, Informz notes the data and time of the last refresh.
If there is an error with your integration's connection to Informz, you won't be able to refresh your target groups because the data is unavailable. You'll receive a message like the one below:
If you see this message, create a case for assistance.

Vandals are cutting brake lines on electric rental scooters in Indianapolis.
Charlie Elliot uses scooters quite frequently in the Capitol City.
He tells WISH-TV he didn't check before using a Lime scooter this week and realized while he was moving that he didn't brake.
He jumped off the scooter before anything else happened. Lime says they are aware of this happening all over the country, not just Indianapolis.
They say they plan to pursue legal action against anyone caught cutting brake lines on scooters.
They urge you to inspect scooters before riding them in the meantime.

"Noah and his team helped my company collect crucial information from a roadway surface on an active and busy street. I needed high-resolution imagery of skid marks and pavement gouges before these features had deteriorated from sun exposure and high traffic use. Noah was able to accommodate my aggressive schedule and deliver high-quality data for me to use in my analysis. Noah and his team were courteous, professional and worked quickly to deliver the information that I needed."
"Being a small utility with limited resources and expertise, Skynetwest's ability to harness UAS technology to efficiently retrieve field data across our 8,000+ square mile service area is unprecedented. Coupling this data with post-processing methods such as asset digitization had unlocked a plethora of opportunities to visualize system resources and further analyze the surrounding terrain and environment. Our engineering and operations departments now have the ability to View 3D substation models, abstract high-resolution digital elevation models, and apply these newfound resources as they work on future construction projects."
"On May 21, 2019 during a ITC Level 1 sUAS Thermography Course , I met Mr. Noah Ruiz , President of Skynetwest, a sUAS service provider. Mr. Ruiz is a very organized individual with a business approach to providing detailed sUAS services across all platforms. His approach is to provide innovative and creative sUAS services with the top of the line equipment including infrared thermal imaging for reliable professional solutions. Mr. Ruiz has a true concern for providing accurate, detailed and professional sUAS services. It would be my pleasure to recommend Mr. Ruiz to any person or business requiring professional sUAS Services."

Man City's name is already on the trophy.
Last night they did what champions do and grabbed a last-gasp winner against Southampton to restore their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Raheem Sterling was the man of the moment once again, curling in a beautiful finish from just outside the box with literally seconds left.
The dramatic winner sparked delirious scenes at the Etihad, not least from Benjamin Mendy.
The French left-back may be another six months away from returning after rupturing his ACL, but that didn't stop him joining the celebrations.
Mendy briefly forgot about his serious injury and ran off down the touchline to join Sterling and co.
We say ran, it was more of a hobble…
Further proof that Mendy should be everyone's favourite player, regardless of who you support.
Pep Guardiola spoke about the Frenchman's miraculous mini-recovery after the game…
Mendy posted a photo of the City changing room after the final whistle and fans were immeadiealty drawn to one thing…
David Silva is packing heat.
Despite these valiant efforts from Mendy and Silva, the night belonged to Sterling.
Incredibly, his winner against Southampton was his second 96th minute winner of the season, having done something similar to Bournemouth earlier in the campaign.
The England international also scored winners against Huddersfield and Feyenoord with under six minutes remaining of normal time.
And in City's only non-victory of the Premier League season, Sterling scored an 82nd minute equaliser against Everton.
In a team full of match-winners, he's become the man City turn to when they need a goal most.

Thugs inspiring more thuggery.
Brilliant, just brilliant. The "Arab Spring" was never about liberty and pluralism, but about Islam, of the 7th century type variety. The marxists in the US are planning for something similar, hopefully the authorities are taking these thugs seriously and are planning a few surprises of their own. The more these jerks are shown for what they are, the more the average US citizen will reject them.
Van Jones is a marxist, the movement he represents is radical leftism, which seeks to empower itself at the expense of the individual. I have been repeatedly warning of the upcoming violence due to hit the streets this election year. So all of my fellow Americans who read this blog need to warn your families of what this is all about, and don't be fooled.
NOTE: These utopian marxists make up 0.00001% of the nation, they do not represent you, nor what made this country great, individualism, free market capitalism, property rights and liberty.
Van Jones group plans American's "Arab Spring" revolt
An Egypt-styled "Arab Spring," which has put radicals in charge of the government, will be launched in the United States this spring with a war on "corporate power, Wall Street greed and the political corruption of the 1 percent," according to the group headed by former Obama green aide Van Jones.
"They're really not going to like the 99 percent Spring," said Rebuild the Dream in an organizing email Friday.
Comparing the collection of protests last year that are symbolized by the 99 percent campaign and Occupy movement, to those of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., the group said that "we were all inspired by the protesters of the Arab Spring who stood up to totalitarian governments, and inspired the Occupy movement here in America."
The plan for now is to hold protest training sessions around the nation next week. Over 900 are scheduled so far.
Once ready, the group and dozens of others, notably MoveOn.org and labor unions, will launch the "99 Percent Spring" offensive against government and financial centers.

Creative Brief
Who are you?
We are Naked Glass LLC, a liquid inventory auditing equipment reseller and full service auditor for the hospitality industry. We help primarily bars and restaurants control their costs from slippage, overpouring, and theft of liquor products. Being regarded as honest, reliable, and accurate is important to our brand.
What do you need?
We are interested in receiving submissions for a logo that could be used in promotional material for a website, business cards, t-shirts, etc.
The logo should be "sexy/sleek", and utilize the name "Naked Glass" in a creative way.
Who Is Your Audience?
We want to attract the owners and decision makers of bars/restaurants to view this brand as a great resource to solve their inventory and cost control issues. We thought "Naked" as in accurate, apparent, lucid and finally "Glass" for the pouring of drinks, bars/restaurnts, and inventory equipment. It conveys different meanings, but overall we want it to mean an accurate reading of your business's inventory.
We Like These Examples
Logos we like - Google, Godaddy, Starbucks, Baredeal. These offer a non-intrusive image or color to an already unique name.
We Absolutely Must Have
The logo needs to have Naked Glass in it somehow, and an image playing off of the name. Again something with a sexy, sleek, professional look would be ideal. Maybe a female figure "nude" but not overly sexual.
The image should be non-intrusive to reading the name, color but not too bright, and eye-catching.

Whilst the action on field will be engrossing the action off the field will be equally entertaining with the club offering supporters and the general public the opportunity to get involved, with a number of activities on the day including a VIP tent for ladies with a number of great prizes on offer.

Recently, Dame Dash posted some photos of him and Jay Z shaking hands and showing each other love at Chaka Pilgrim's birthday party. As we all know about the Roc-A-Fella dynasty, Jay Z and Dame Dash had a huge fall out when Jay Z wanted to move up and become the president of Def Jam. So huge a move it would would have left both Dame and Biggs out of the picture. (And it did.) It's been about 10 years since these two have been seen together in the public eye. We hope these two can come together and bring the Roc back.

For more than a century, Gamse Lithographing Company, Inc. has produced and printed labels for millions of everyday items in the United States, Canada and Latin America. From soup to nuts, a product's brand identity begins with its label.
The need for product labels hasn't changed over time, but producing labels has. Clients' brand data (their artwork, logos and graphics) aren't stored in filing cabinets anymore. Instead, their brand data is digital and stored on a virtual file server. Files are retrieved and sent to a plate-making device for conventional printing or streamed to a digital press. Gamse can't produce labels without its file server.
"If we lose our file server, we're out of business," said Jimmy Canzoniero, Executive Vice President of Gamse. "Without clients' brand data, we can't print labels for them. If we can't print labels for them, their manufacturing plants shut down. They can't ship blank cans to supermarkets."
Slow, unreliable backup and recovery of Gamse's file server put the company's livelihood at risk. That's because the legacy backup tool didn't integrate well with VMware vSphere, and it required agents on every virtual machine (VM). Not only did agents slow down backup and recovery, they were expensive and time-consuming to maintain. Even a minor upgrade to the backup software required Gamse to upgrade agents in every VM, which could take hours — hours a small business should spend on business initiatives, not on agents.
"Agent licensing was a train wreck," Canzoniero said. "To add insult to injury, the backup vendor charged extra for agents on VMs running Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server—two of our business-critical IT systems. We'd rather spend money on printing presses that generate revenue, not on unreliable backup and recovery."
Gamse replaced legacy backup with Veeam® Backup Essentials™ because it is agentless, fast, reliable and integrates fully with VMware vSphere.
"Veeam is risk-management insurance for us," Canzoniero said. "Veeam guarantees files containing clients' brand data are always available for label production."
In addition to delivering 24.7.365 Availability of the file server, Veeam delivers 24.7.365 of Exchange and SQL.
"Email is key for doing business with clients," Canzoniero said. "Email also chronicles our communication with them. When one of our clients received an industry compliance fine and blamed us, we recovered emails from an Exchange backup so we could show our client what their employee had asked us to do. We were able to prove that we had delivered exactly what the employee had requested."Sometimes clients lose their old artwork and ask Gamse for help. In the past, Gamse kept archived artwork on CDs, but retrieving files was laborious and time-consuming. Gamse virtualized the archives so they can be backed up and recovered with Veeam. Now restoring archived artwork takes minutes.
"That's one example of how Veeam supports our digital transformation from physical to virtual," Canzoniero said. "We've digitized nearly all of our data because we know Veeam will protect it."
Veeam helps Gamse save money too. By combining deduplication in Veeam, Windows Server 2012 R2 (Veeam's host) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) StoreOnce VSA (the backup target), Gamse saves $15,000 in backup storage.
"We're backing up more data in less space," Canzoniero said. "That's a capital expense we can redirect toward revenue generation."
Gamse also uses Veeam to consolidate backup storage into a single repository. The feature is called Scale-out Backup Repository™, and it distributes storage across all backup targets so space is used evenly. Before Veeam, Gamse spent precious time reallocating backup storage. Veeam also saves time by monitoring and reporting on the backup environment. Veeam gives Gamse the details needed to proactively resolve backup issues before they impact business.
Next Gamse will explore Veeam Cloud Connect, which provides a secure conduit for transferring backup copies to a public or private cloud. Getting backups off site can be challenging for any business due to limited bandwidth and resources required to build and maintain an off site backup repository. Using Veeam Cloud Connect and built-in WAN Acceleration, Gamse will transfer backup copies to Microsoft Azure.
"Our backup copies will be safely offsite and available if we need them," Canzoniero said. "And, we'll avoid a major capital expense."

AN 11-YEAR-OLD boy with mild mental retardation was referred for evaluation of obesity (Figure 1). He also had abnormalities of his hands and feet. Brachydactyly was noted in both hands and in the third and fourth toes of both feet (Figure 2). He also had syndactyly of the second and third toes. The fourth and fifth metacarpals and metatarsals were short bilaterally. Premature epiphyseal fusion was detected on radiographic examination (Figure 3).
Denouement and Discussion
Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is characterized by obesity, mental retardation, subcutaneous calcifications, and anomalies of the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal bones. It was described by Albright and coworkers in 1942,1 in 3 patients who had hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and normal renal function but who failed to respond to parathyroid hormone (PH) therapy. The patients also had short stature, obesity, round faces, short necks, and short metacarpal bones. Albright postulated that the
