Diagnostic Radiology Residency
The Department of Radiology at MMC has a long tradition of excellence in residency training. Our program is resident-oriented, with a strong clinical orientation. Our residents are exposed to a great number and variety of cases. Learning on the clinical rotations is augmented with two teaching conferences for radiology residents per day. Residents also attend a wide variety of multidisciplinary conferences and are encouraged to engage in teaching their peers, medical students, non-radiology residents and non-physicians.
Due to their diligence and hard work and to the excellent case material and didactic lectures our residents perform extremely well on the core exam exceeding RRC expectations. They also obtain top notch fellowship positions and jobs.
Our Radiology faculty consists of 35 fellowship-trained radiologists representing all of the Radiology subspecialties. We also have three full time physicists on staff including a PhD physicist who is responsible for resident physics education. Residents are closely supervised by attending radiologists with regular signouts but are given increasing responsibilities as their competencies increase. With only four residents per year, the program is small enough that the residents are intimately involved with procedures, and the clinical teaching is one-on-one with the faculty members. In addition, faculty and residents get to know each other quite well.
We are a categorical program with both diagnostic and interventional programs. We match four, PGY-1 residents annually, three in diagnostic radiology and one in interventional radiology. The three diagnostic radiology residents pursue diagnostic radiology for four years for a total of five post-graduate years. The interventional radiology resident follows the diagnostic radiology curriculum for three years and pursues interventional radiology for the next two years for a total of six years. Residents participate in work rounds with attending radiologist several times per day.
The primary mission of our residency is to train competent, compassionate, and curious radiologists who can excel in either an academic or private practice setting. We are based at Maine Medical Center, a busy 637-bed teaching hospital and tertiary care center in Portland, Maine. Our program values align with that of our sponsoring institution, Maine Medical Center, which bases care upon six core values: patient-centered care, integrity, ownership, excellence, respect, and innovation. Maine Medical Center is a tertiary care center serving all residents of Maine and a large part of Northern New England, and includes the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital.
Our program aims include:
- To train exceptionally competent and compassionate radiologists
- To expose residents to a wide diversity and volume of cases and procedures, working directly with teaching faculty
- To prepare residents for leadership roles, in either academic or clinical practice
- To teach strong teamwork and communication skills, through simulation activities and direct observation
- To expose residents to a wide variety of research and quality improvement experiences, and to foster a culture of curiosity
- To prepare residents for success on their board exams, with a robust core curriculum--including dedicated teaching in physics, and 11 hours of protected didactic time each week
On Diversity and Inclusion:
The Maine Medical Center Radiology Residency program is committed to providing a safe, diverse, and inclusive teaching environment for all of our radiology residents, applicants, staff, and students. We believe that promoting a diverse work force improves the academic environment for all of our learners and enhances our ability to provide compassionate and patient centered care to all patients and their families. We welcome and celebrate learners of all different cultural backgrounds, race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, and socioeconomic status. We believe that having varied experiences and diverse backgrounds will make us collectively stronger.
What makes our program unique:
- We have no fellows, so our residents are the top educational priority in our department, interpreting diagnostic cases and performing many hands-on procedures.
- Our outstanding faculty enjoy and are dedicated to teaching, and residents have close faculty mentors.
- We are a categorical program, so all radiology interns work at Maine Medical Center, enabling them to spend two months in the radiology department during intern year.
- We have a 100% first time past rate on the core exam.
- Our residents match into top notch fellowship programs of their choice, which can be viewed on the alumni link on this website.
Why Portland?
While you are looking at our program you should also check out all the wonderful things to see and do in Portland. It is a truly beautiful place with four seasons of outdoor activities to enjoy. The city has an extraordinary number of great restaurants. We enjoy a great cultural scene that includes music and performance arts of all types, a symphony and several theaters. There are also many great destinations in the region like Bar Harbor, Kennebunkport, Sugarloaf Mountain and many more.
Thanks for checking out our program. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can reach our residency program manager, Michaela Wipfler at 207-662-4279.
Warm Regards,

And the latest addition, stripchat is an exiting one, because it's the first webcam sex site we review that introduces virtual reality webcam sex. For those of you who have experience with virtual reality, you know why this is exiting! For those who don't have experience with virtual reality, stipchat is the reason why you should get one. And for the few who have no Idea what virtual reality is: Virtual Reality is a technology that lets the user immerse in new fantasy )or real )world through the means of a headset/goggles. This headset lets the user see a 3d stereoscopic video and the headset also has motion sensors detecting your head and body movements. The result is that your brain is getting fooled and makes you feel like you are actually somewhere you are not. You can look around you in 360 degrees. It's quite an intense and immersive experience. And YouTube videos really do not do it justice because it's lacking the immersion.
Virtual Reality Cam girls
Now Stripcjat has implemented this technology in their webcam sex sites and All cam girls labelled with VR can be viewed and talked with in Virtual Reality, which brings a private cam chat to a whole other level because it feels like you are actually in the same room with the cam model, and you will see her in 3d and can watch her from any angle you'd like, Ask here to put her pussy close to your face and you will actually be between her legs with what feels like her pussy actually being only a few inches away. Trust us when we say this has to be experienced to fully understand how real it feels.
Not a Lot cam girls with VR function
Unfortunately not a lot of webcam girls have the VR function available, understandable because this is something new and upcoming in the porn world. Especially when it comes to live webcams. At the time of this review only 4 VR cam girls were online. But we foresee a big increase this year. Of course there are tons of other webcam models to choose from that are available for regular private video chats, so there is plenty to do besides VR. but Again , you have to try virtual reality webcam sex.
But just because not a lot of girls have the new virtual reality function available doesn't mean there's nothing to do at stripchat. even without vr stripchat is one of the better camsex sites we've encountered with cheap private shows, multiple fetish categories and even free webcam sex shows with multiple viewers who can tip tokens if they wish
Free tokens and Free Sex Cams
At stripchat you pay with tokens, and new visitors automatically qualify for a 50 free tokens giveaway, another reason to register because like we said before besides virtual reality cams there's a lot more horny stuff to see at stripchat, from remote controlled toys, private shows and free shows. Yes free shows, where a performer gives a live sex show as long as tips are being given or a specific target amount of received tokens is reached. This means you don't need to be the one paying but you can still wat.
So Vr cams, remote controlled toys, private shows, free shows and a free token giveaway. What are you still doing here!?

Need for Speed The Run
|This page is protected from anonymous edits.
This page is protected from edits by unregistered or anonymous users to minimize vandalism. If you wish to edit this page, please Log in.
Need For Speed: The Run is the 18th instalment in the long-running Need For Speed series of racing games, developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts.
Since the release of Need For Speed: Undercover, Black Box has been working on a new title to continue the action focused street-racing gameplay of their previous games. This title has an extended development window to give the developers a chance to create a game with more quality than the previous ones, which only had 1 year of development. According to EA Games, Black Box has been working on The Run for the past 2 years until E3 2011. The announced release date is set to November 15th, so the game will have a development time of about 2 years and 6 months. Need For Speed: The Run will use DICE's Frostbite Engine 2.0, which is the same game engine used in the first-person-shooter Battlefield 3.
Need For Speed: The Run will feature a fictional storyline and characters. The basis of the game is an "illicit, high stakes racing" from San Francisco to New York, with stops through many other locations in the USA. The cops will play an important role, as they will pursue the player during The Run. At E3 2011 EA revealed some gameplay footage of the game, showing part of a race intercalated with action scenes where the player has some control via Quick Time Events (QTE). The video shows a man racing a Ford Shelby GT500 against a yellow Porsche 911 GT2 (993). After a crash, the player is seen running away from the police through rooftops until he grabs another car, at this time, a police car. The chase continues but eventually the helicopter damages the car enough, so it crashes on the train tracks. The player can be seen escaping in the last second before the train hits.
The game will ship in two editions, the normal one and a Limited Edition, which comes with 5 additional events and 3 exclusive cars: the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and the Porsche 911 Carrera S. More cars and events are available if you pre-order this version of the game. See "Pre-order Packs" below for more info.
A time-limited demo is set to be released on the 18th of October on Xbox LIVE Marketplace (for Xbox 360 players) and a PlayStation 3 demo is set to be released on the 19th of October on PlayStation Network. The demo will be available until the 1st of November. The demo features a race in the Desert Hills of Nevada where a player has the chance to drive the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Valentino Balboni. After that, the player will face a treacherous shortcut in Independence Pass. If the player can refer a friend, he/she will unlock the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. No PC demo was announced.
The official word:
It's called The Run. An illicit, high-stakes race across the country. The only way to get your life back is to be the first from San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. All you have are your driving skills and sheer determination as you battle hundreds of the world's most notorious drivers on the country's most dangerous roads. In Need for Speed The Run, you'll weave through dense urban centers, rocket down icy mountain passes and navigate narrow canyons at breakneck speeds, all the while evading a relentless police force prepared – and willing – to use lethal force to take you down.

NATO concerned about consequences of Turkey's S-400 acquisition - CNN
NATO is concerned about the potential ramifications of Turkey's decision to acquire Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles, a NATO official told CNN on Friday.
The comments came after Turkey' Defence Ministry announced that the first batch of S-400 components arrived at an airbase near Ankara.
"It is up to allies to decide what military equipment they buy. However, we are concerned about the potential consequences of Turkey's decision to acquire the S-400 system," the official said, citing concerns about the potential effect of the Russian missiles on NATO's interoperability.
Turkey risks expulsion from the programme to help build F-35 advanced fighter jets and U.S. sanctions by going ahead with the delivery of the S-400s.
Turkey will receive two more shipments of S-400 components in the coming days and 80 members of the Turkish military will receive training in Russia in the next two months in addition to 20 servicemen who underwent training in May and June, according to Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency.

A rundown of some of the best albums of 2011:
1. �So Beautiful or So What�
Paul Simon
Whether slip slidin� away from this mortal coil just to get caught up in bureaucratic red tape at the Pearly Gates, or telling us that you can call him Al (as in Almighty God), who turns out to be a prankster, Paul Simon hasn�t sounded this inspired, this focused, this sharp, this in touch with his feelings for a very long time. Featuring a series of slice of life (and afterlife) vignettes, as well as several instant classics, the must-have �So Beautiful or So What� is a thinking-man�s pop record full of harsh truths, humanity, humility, humor and heart.
2. �21�
Not only does the amazing Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (who goes simply by Adele) have a voice that makes you wobbly at the knees, this London belter makes your heart beat faster and mind start racing, wondering how these fresh crops of so-called pop divas can be considered singers. At a mere 23, Adele is a bona fide talent who is wise beyond her years. She is an old soul that has real soul in a contemporary recording market that usually comes off as being superficial and gutless. In 2011, it was virtually impossible not to fall under Adele�s spell.
3. �Let England Shake�
PJ Harvey
War might be hell but it�s no match for Polly Jean Harvey. Harvey�s terrific tour de force �Let England Shake� is not only a riveting history lesson on World War I, it unfolds with an undeniable majesty and grace and even an understated beauty that is distinctly early 20th-century England. This is not so much a pop album, as it is true art. Some tracks are so vivid and uncompromising you can practically smell the mustard gas. (Note: this could easily have been my No. 1 but I�m afraid that three times topping my personal �Best Of� list might constitute stalking. Not for the squeamish or the faint at heart.)
4. �Wasting Light�
Foo Fighters
If rock �n� roll is dead, Dave Grohl didn�t get the memo. In fact, the 42-year-old Grohl and his band, the Foo Fighters, has given rock �n� roll a fighting chance. With its ample guitar riffage and an arsenal of great songs (including �Rope,� �White Limo� and �Walk�), �Wasting Light� woke pop culture out of its collective sugar-coma. In 2011, the ex-Nirvana drummer-turned-Foo Fighters frontman emerged as a true rock torchbearer and keeper of the flame. He had fully embraced rock and all its arena-size excesses. He has gone from being a mere mortal to becoming a bona fide rock god.
5. �Wounded Rhymes�
Lykke Li
Swedish siren Li�s tortured, tender voice and serrated lyrics often permeate with an unabashed sexual-psycho energy that is intoxicating and, at times, frightening. And while the violence and perversion on the album is very modern, they are wonderfully juxtaposed with music that harkens back to the glory days of �50s doo-wop, �60s girl groups and Phil Spector�s wall of sound. Top this off with Li�s utter fearlessness and you have a beguiling collection of songs about devastating heartbreak, eternal damnation and sexual depravity that might leave the unsuspecting listener emotionally scarred, but everybody else breathless.
6. �Duets II�
Tony Bennett
Class was back in a big way in 2011 and we can thank no other than Tony Bennett, who, in honor of the milestone of his 85th birthday, gave the world �Duets II.� Bennett, a consummate showman and gracious collaborator, is having the time of his life, while his guest cohorts (including live wire Lady Gaga on the whimsical revamping of Rodgers and Hart�s �The Lady Is a Tramp� and tortured jazz-pop chanteuse Amy Winehouse on what would be her last recording, �Body and Soul�) have ample room to shine.
7. �Rare Bird Alert�
Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers
What Steve Martin did for comedy in the �70s, he�s now doing for bluegrass music: making it accessible and fun for the masses, while delivering a quality product. Martin � who is a master of �claw-hammer� banjo playing (a style of playing that involves striking the strings with the thumb and one finger) and the Steep Canyon Rangers play as a cohesive unit, making �Rare Bird Alert� an exuberant celebration of bluegrass music, without coming off as stuffy, scholarly or too backwoodsy for the casual listener.
8. �Ghost on the Canvas�
Glen Campbell
Glen Campbell�s swan song �Ghost on the Canvas� is an introspective journeyman�s record that very few artists have the opportunity or would have the courage to make. With his mind still lucid, his guitar playing still fluid and his supple voice still nuanced, Campbell (who was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer�s) takes the listener on the tail-end of his life�s voyage. Unlike Johnny Cash on his celebrated �American Recordings� session, �Ghost on the Canvas� is not the sound of a weary, age-ravaged man who has one foot in the grave. It is the sound of a man who�s at the top of his game and is full of life. (Glen Campbell plays Jan. 11 at The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, Worcester.)
9. �The King Is Dead�
The Decemberists
On this stripped-down album that celebrates and commiserates the trials and tribulations of pastoral life, singer-songwriter Colin Meloy spends a bulk of the songs reminding the listener that, �of dust you�re made and dust you will return.� There is so much talk about one�s inevitable end and turning to dust that, at times, the album sounds like a commercial for Endust furniture polish. But this is not a eulogy, it�s a stellar celebration of roots Americana in which all the artists are dedicated to the material.
10. �Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes�
Social Distortion
Whether he�s dragging a ball and chain or wrestling with demons, Social D�s Mike Ness embodies the true spirit of the American outlaw. He�s one part Joe Strummer, one part Bruce Springsteen, one part guitar-slinger. Once again, the cow-punk troubadour tells us the story of his life, but one that never gets tired as long as he fuels it with plenty of heart and conviction, as he does consistently here. But �Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes� is much more than that. It�s a rousing celebration of the blues, country-western and the rock �n� roll that has inspired Ness and carried him throughout his life.

'Enter the Dragon' is a martial arts spy thriller starring Bruce Lee in his final film before his untimely death. While not perfect, this movie is like gold in the mud.
"Enter the Dragon" – Directed by Robert Clouse; starring Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Jim Kelly
Warner Brothers.
When viewing "Enter the Dragon" think of a cheesy James Bond film without the gadgets, the Bond girl, and without the "shaken, not stirred" martini. Instead, insert Bruce Lee in his prime, a wise martial arts master who speaks like a Jedi.
"Enter the Dragon" was released in 1973 by Warner Bros. studios. It is credited with being the "first Hollywood sanctioned Kung-Fu film," according to Slant Magazine.
Lee (played by Bruce Lee), a Shaolin Master is tasked by British intelligence to infiltrate the island fortress of a former Shaolin, Han (played by Shih Kien). The plan is to uncover evidence of white slavery, prostitution, and involvement in the drug trade by entering a martial arts contest organized by Han in an effort to find guards and salesmen to peddle his goods.
Three main characters take the bait to compete in Han's martial arts tournament, each with an incentive of their own. First, there's Roper (played by John Saxton), a compulsive gambler who owes a serious debt to the mob. Then, there's Williams (played by Jim Kelly), an African-American man on the run after beating up a couple of racist cops. Finally, there's Lee, who's incentive is ultimately to live up to the principles of the Shaolin Temple, but also to avenge his sister's death.
Skip to minute marker 39:51 where we discuss "Enter the Dragon" on the WTTS Pod
"Enter the Dragon" features some unforgettable moments. For example, the opening scene where Lee dismantles his opponent of twice his size, emerging virtually untouched. Sure, the scene features moments in which Bruce Lee is clearly just showing off his acrobatic skills, but damn it's good.
We follow this up with a dialogue between Bruce Lee and Shaolin Abbot that features lines like:
A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.
Beyond this point, you're left yearning for more Bruce Lee. What you get instead is a mish-mosh of flashbacks and backstories for secondary characters. Lee appears here and there, but not enough to whet our appetites.
That is until the final fight sequence when Han and Lee finally face off. This definitely isn't Bruce Lee versus Chuck Norris in "Way of the Dragon," but it does deliver the goods.
"Enter the Dragon" leaves you wanting more, and that's the problem with it. You never quite feel satiated with the fight scenes. And maybe that was the point. To introduce to us Bruce Lee as the frontman of a major motion picture.
It's just unfortunate that he left us far too soon and never got to realize that dream. He did, however, prove that he can be the face of a Hollywood feature film and that in and of itself is quite an accomplishment.

Cong blames the division in secular votes for poor performance
The Congress defeat in its stronghold in Nagpur was particularly galling, reports Saroj Nagi.india Updated: Feb 03, 2007, 00:31 IST
The Congress blamed the division in secular votes for the party's poor performance in the Maharashtra civic polls but did not rule out the option of a post-poll tie up with like- minded forces, including the NCP, to capture power in half a dozen corporations where the verdict was not clear. This includes Sholapur, Akola, Nasik and Amravati.
The two parties, which were fighting to occupy the space they thought was being vacated by a divided Shiv Sena and a BJP in disarray, instead saw their revival so much so that they captured the important corporations of Mumbai, Nagpur and Pune.
Abhishek Singhvi, party spokesman, refused to indulge in a blame game saying that there was no use crying over spilt milk. But, he added, the Congress had made an honest attempt to consolidate secular forces against the BJP-Shiv Sena. ``Our conscience is clear,'' he said. Quizzed whether it meant that the NCP was responsible for the division, he said: ``Certainly, anybody who has not contributed in consolidating secular votes must be blamed.''
But in view of the fact that the two parties had contested separately last time, the logic of a split in the secular vote did not appear to hold much ground.
Margaret Alva, AICC general secretary in charge of Maharashtra, briefed Congress president Sonia Gandhi on the party's performance when the results came in.
The Congress defeat in its stronghold in Nagpur was particularly galling. Sources said that the party would call for a report on the wranglings between Vilas Muttemwar, Union minister, and Satish Chaturvedi, state Minister, that cost the Congress heavy in the elections. Elsewhere, it will introspect on the reasons for its poor show.

SAP/Ariba Contract Drafting Tool - Fundamental Flaw?
I've been learning about the SAP/Ariba contract drafting tool set, with clause libraries, negotiation and approval workflows, and reporting capabilities. Our company is preparing to implement the combined SAP/Ariba solution in the medium term horizon (3-5 years). The functionality seems to meet our needs from a contracting lens, with one major flaw ... the tool is designed for contract drafting and negotiation to take place only AFTER the completion of sourcing and selection of a supplier. This can't be right! How do bidders know what they're bidding on? How can proposals be evaluated without alignment on the scope of work, compensation mechanism, terms and conditions, etc? Has anyone else seen the tool and reached the same conclusions? Do you have the same concerns? How can we influence this?

Good morning.
To the scoreboard:
Dow: 24,912.77 +567.02 (+2.33%)
ASX200 SPI futures (March contracts): 5,860 (+96)
1. US stocks rebound: UK and European markets both closed down more than 2% in the wake of the global stock selloff. But in a choppy session of trade, the S&P500 fell sharply at the open before ripping higher into the close. And ASX futures traders expect those gains to extend to the local market today, with futures contracts up by almost 100 points.
2. As for the exchange traded note (ETN) run by Credit Suisse linked to low-volatility trades — which plummeted in value yesterday when volatility spiked — the bank said it will now wind up the product by February 20 and redeem money to investors.
3. In currencies, early gains in the US dollar and Japanese yen reversed over the course of the session as fears of another stock rout subsided. The Aussie dollar is off its lows in the wake of yesterday's data misses on trade and retail sales, with a quiet day ahead on the domestic and international calendar.
4. Bitcoin believers dig in: Buyers stepped in overnight after Bitcoin briefly dipped below $US6,000 for the first time since November. "It doesn't die, it just comes back stronger," one analyst told Business Insider with prices rocketing back towards $US8,000 this morning. But Goldman analysts noted Bitcoin prices tend to move in lockstep with other cryptos, and they think that's a problem.
5. Investments tied to low volatility have been in focus as analysts try to explain the reasons behind yesterday's huge market selloff. JP Morgan highlighted that computer-based trades which follow trends can exacerbate selling, and Barclays analysts argued the total volume of such trades isn't big enough to really rattle markets. And here's what Goldman Sachs, UBS and Deutsche Bank analysts had to say about the selloff.
6. US still on track for solid growth: Allianz chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian told Business Insider that the US economy can still grow by 3%, despite jitters caused by this week's stock selloff. El-Erian said that to stay on track, the US economy needs to avoid three key pitfalls — a major geopolitical shock, a policy mistake by the US Fed, and a huge market accident.
Have a great day.

Betty is a mobile service robot from the Oxford Robotics Institute. She has been extensively used the GOALS group to demonstrate long-term autonomous behaviour in real-world dynamic environments. Her software was originally developed by a European consortium as part of the STRANDS Project. In that project Betty and her fellow robots were deployed for security, care, and office management tasks. For a week starting in January 2019 Betty's latest adventure was to meet visitors at Blenheim Palace. At Blenheim she roamed around the entrance hall to the palace, providing information to visitors about the palace and estate. She would was also able to post pictures of visitors to her Twitter account, @BettyStrands, a functionality which provided much excitement to some visitors.
Betty's reception at Blenheim was overwhelmingly positive. Visitors young and old were fascinated by the cutting-edge technology on display and were keen to learn more about her person tracking, navigation, localisation and planning capabilities. One of the most common reactions we experienced when accompanying Betty was joy at the juxtaposition of the old and new, the presence of a robot operating autonomously in a palace built in the 1700s.
Betty's placement was part of an ongoing fruitful cooperation between the Oxford Robotics Institute and Blenheim in which we are testing a range of autonomous robots across their estate. The AI technology within Betty is being reused across a range of domains, including for nuclear inspection tasks as part of the RAIN Hub, and in supermarket stock taking with Bossa Nova robotics. Betty's colleague Lindsey from the University of Lincoln is currently meeting visitors at The Collection a museum in Lincolnshire.

Yes, it is three years since I clicked the Publish button on the very first post of my brand new blog; and I haven't looked back since.
Below are extracts from my first and second anniversary posts; because I really can't say it any better than this.
First Year:
I'd like to thank the WP community for being so great. And I'd like to thank everyone who has popped by my blog and liked or commented on a post. I thoroughly enjoy seeing all of your amazing photos and reading your posts. I feel like I know some of my "regulars" as friends, even though we have never met, nor are likely to, being separated in most instances by vast oceans.
And Thank You to all of you out there who make the whole blogging experience a pleasant one. WP is a community, and if it wasn't for feedback, likes and comments, what would be the point? I'd still be sitting here listening to the crickets chirp!
Second Year:
But just to reiterate; thank you to everyone who has followed me all this time and who continues to support me and offer words of wisdom and sarcastic comments. I appreciate them all! (You know people are your friends when they start being sarcastic!)
I thoroughly enjoy following all your blogs too.
Third Year:
I'd just like to say a very big thank you to all of my faithful followers, who like and comment on my posts, even when sometimes you don't get my sense of humour, or British-ness/South African-ness.
To my old friends, thank you for sticking with me; and to my new friends, welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy the ride.
Without the interaction of my blogging friends, there'd be no fun in blogging.
And as long as I'm having fun, I'll keep on blogging.
As a third year tribute to you all, I've selected some of my favourite photos from the past three years.
Just scroll down to enjoy the slide show.
Thank You One and All.

A New Energy Crystals Flavor - Sour Blue Chug Rug
GFUEL announced that they will release the Sour Blue Chug Rug as Energy Crystals this September 27th. If you are interested to get it, keep an eye on that date. The flavor is delicious so this should be a good one.
Best GFUEL Gaming-Themed Flavors
The released game-themed flavors are ranked as following:
Type O (Inspired by Code Vein)
Nemesis Tea (Inspired by Resident Evil 3)
Peach Rings (Inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog)
Spicy Demon'ade (Inspired by DooM Eternal)
Let's start with the first flavor, Type O. This one was extremely delicious when tasted. It has a unique and sweet delicious flavor with a tint of pomegranate mixed with cherry. This would be the number #1 choice out of the game-themed flavors. If you haven't tasted it yet then add this one to the top of your list.
As for the second flavor on the list, the Nemesis Tea, it is quite the choice to drink during summer time. It tastes like Lemon Iced Tea. That is the best description for this flavor. If you are familiar with Lemon Iced Tea then you know what to expect. It is really good and refreshing, especially when it's really cold.
The third flavor on this list is Sonic's Peach Rings. This one is a must-have for those who love peach because the flavor is very powerful. No flavor delivers the ultimate peach taste more than Sonic's Peach Rings. What is great about it is that it comes across as a natural flavor and not too sweet. Definitely one of the flavors to keep on your list.
And coming to the fourth flavor on the list, the Spicy Demon'ade. There is a lot to say about it. It is quite an experience drinking this legendary flavor. Here's what you will experience, when you first drink it, you will taste lemonade but when you swallow it, you will feel some spice in your throat. It is a fascinating experience and unlike anything else. It is worth trying out if you have already got the other game-themed flavors.
Hope this gave you an idea about these flavors and on what to expect when you buy them. You can always check the G FUEL website at https://gfuel.com/discount/esportsmobile to see their full flavors. If you want to buy G FUEL at a 30% discount, you can use Code EsportsMobile which will give you a massive discount on your purchase. Thank you.

G FUEL - The Flavors You Can Mix
All the G FUEL flavors are delicious and unique in their own way but today let's discuss the flavors that you can mix.
To mix two flavors, simply add half a scoop of each flavor into the shaker and then add water & ice. Shake well to get the best experience.
Flavor Mix #1 – Watermelon + Lemonade
The Watermelon and Lemonade flavors are both delicious on their own and come across as familiar since you have tasted these natural flavors before. Mixing them will get you a delicious flavor that combines both worlds together.
Flavor Mix #2 – Blue Ice + Lemon Lime
Some of the best flavors are the Blue Ice and Lemon Lime. In fact, Blue Ice is quite a fascinating flavor on its own. However, mixing both of these will result in an interesting flavor.
Flavor Mix #3 – Battle Juice + Fruit Punch
If you haven't tasted these two separately then you are missing out! However, mixing these two together will get you an addictive mix that will have you coming back for it time and again.
Flavor Mix #4 – Strawberry Shortcake + Milk
If you love strawberry milkshakes then you can concoct your own using the Strawberry Shortcake flavor and milk. This was the first flavor that was extremely delicious when mixed with milk and is definitely one of the leading flavors when mixed with milk.
Flavor Mix #5 – Strawberry Banana + Milk
The strawberry banana is a unique flavor but when you mix it with milk, you will love it even more. The flavor will taste natural with milk and is one of the best flavors on the market.
Flavor Mix #6 – Iced Coffee: French Vanilla + Milk
There is no question that the Iced Coffee: French Vanilla is a flavor that was highly requested by those who love coffee. You can even enjoy it more when mixing it with milk to get a much sweeter taste.
You can always check the G FUEL website at https://gfuel.com/discount/esportsmobile to see their full list of flavors. If you want to buy G FUEL at a 30% discount, you can use Code EsportsMobile which will give you a massive discount on your purchase. Hope you enjoy.

Workers' rights advocates say President-elect Donald Trump's likely appointment of Andrew Puzder to lead the Department of Labour could be a major setback in the fight for higher wages and greater protections for the nation's most vulnerable workers.
"It's hard to think of anyone less suited for the job of lifting up America's forgotten workers — as Trump had campaigned on — than Puzder," Christine Owens, executive director of the National Employment Law Project, said in a statement.
Puzder is the CEO of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. The International Franchise Association praised Puzder Thursday, calling his potential appointment an "exceptional choice."
But others say that Puzder's past remarks and business record are worrisome.
"He opposes raising the minimum wage, threatens to replace restaurant workers with machines, has consistently opposed long-standing rules that protect workers and law-abiding employers, and demonstrated that he prizes corporate welfare and profits over workers' well-being," Owens said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio criticised Puzder in a tweet Thursday that referenced comments Puzder has made about worker pay and the automation of jobs.
America's workers deserve a raise and a union, not a Labour Sec. who thinks they're paid too much and wants to replace them with robots.
— Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) December 8, 2016
A representative for Puzder could not immediately be reached for comment.
In an interview with Business Insider in March, Puzder spoke about the potential benefits of swapping fast-food workers for machines in the face of rising wages.
"They're always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case," Puzder said of machines like kiosks, which can take orders and accept payments from customers.
And while Puzder told CNBC in May that increasing minimum wage to $9 per hour would have a "minimal impact" on companies' bottom lines, the CEO has a history of opposing laws that would raise workers' pay.
"[H]ere's what middle-class business owners, who live in the real world, will do when faced with a 40% increase in labour costs. They will cut jobs and rely more on technology," Puzder wrote in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in 2014. "Almost every restaurant chain in the country from Applebee's to McDonald's is testing or already implementing automated ordering with tablets or kiosks."
Puzder made over $1 million in salary in 2012, according to a filing cited by The New York Times.
Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro was critical of Trump for choosing Puzder.
"As a CEO, Mr. Puzder has an extensive record of engaging in marketing tactics that degrade women, fighting against paying workers their hard earned overtime, opposing expansion of the Affordable Care Act, and even allegedly failing to pay some of his workers," Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro said in a statement. "It should come as no surprise then that President-elect Trump has chosen Mr. Puzder as the nation's top labour official."
Some have also taken issue with Carl's Jr. and Hardee's marketing under Puzder's leadership. Carl's Jr. is known for its racy ads starring bikini-clad women.
"His nomination will betray American workers, especially women and people of colour," Vicki Shabo, the vice president at the National Partnership for Women and Families, said in a call with press on Thursday. "He's objectified and undermined women in an effort to sell hamburgers."
Puzder has defended the ads by saying that targeting "hungry, young guys" with sexual commercials works.
"I like our ads. I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis. I think it's very American," he told Entrepreneur in 2015. "I used to hear, brands take on the personality of the CEO. And I rarely thought that was true, but I think this one, in this case, it kind of did take on my personality."
NOW WATCH: We did a blind taste test of wings from Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, and Buffalo Wild Wings — the winner was clear

Of all the worlds which create intelligent life, we estimate that 99% of them wipe themselves out before they make contact with us. Of course we can go in afterwards, clean the environments a little and make use of the remaining resources, but there are those who say we should intervene at an earlier stage, while the planet is still alive, to salvage something of the culture and perhaps to learn enough to save future worlds and their native species from the same fate.
Joining us for today's debate in the studio are Professor M- from the Department of Anthropology at the University of V-, Minister S- from the Home Council and D- T- from the Interplanetary Commission.
So first, Professor, I'll come to you first. What do we hope to gain from interacting with a native species `first-hand' as it were, that we cannot learn from inspection of their records?

In this show, Shon will go over the key aspects of HR/Hiring professionals. This is part 2 of 5 in the ongoing series designed to help HR/Hiring managers as well as those looking for cybersecurity jobs.
These videos will go over what the hiring professionals should be looking for and what potential candidates should strive to achieve to meet the growing cybersecurity job demand.
This part of the video series will go through what the HR/Hiring manager should consider when evaluating candidates for cybersecurity jobs. We will go through outsourcing (Locally/Globally) compensation and the value of certifications.
Give you the tools you need to meet your regulatory requirements while helping keep the evil say hi my name is Sean Gerber and I'm your host for this action-packed informative podcast join me each week cuz I provide the information you need to best protect your business and reduce your company cyber risk I shall give her back again on this episode that we've got set up this is now the second iteration of the second part of our human resources peace at this around cybersecurity more than a job description and I'm going to focus in this part specifically on the human resources aspect of it and so the point of this is that you got to decide from a human resource standpoint when you're looking at a cybersecurity person what is your overall goal so your goal is to grow the resource now you got to ask this is how deep is your stable that's that I've got his how many people do you have that you can go ahead and tie into and bring into your organization if you have a lot of cyber security people that are around or even it people that really care kind of passion about this then your stable might be pretty deep however if you only got one person has a thoroughbred or maybe not even that glitter that from a human resources standpoint resources internally are a great place to start is you get going in this space and you see what hey I can't afford a cyber-security person cuz I'm a small and medium business but I've got some really sharp it folks that I think could probably do this that's what you need to focus on if they need to be passionate about security because if they're not it's going to basically just be like Ian I want to go to sleep this is stupid is boring I don't want to do it right so you need to focus on if you're going to hire from internally they've got to be passionate about what they're looking out for and they need to have a strong capability coming right out of the gate call the security Kudos of the security make it happen it doesn't matter it's not going to it's not going to work so focused on people who have one I have humility they know they don't know much and they want to learn and that they're willing to grow if you focus on those people and then to have somebody that has you have a resource that you can tie into some sort of somebody within your organization that you can draw a pun if you need a thoroughbred right away I'm not saying that's me by any stretch of the imagination I like this old donkey right really hard and put away wet so I am not a thoroughbred from that standpoint but if you want this Rockstar from JPMorgan or from Citibank or something like that well you're going to need to pay form right it's going to cost a lot of money but that there are some things that come with that if you decide that and what you want to look for from that point of view is a CSO security information security officer and information security director or a senior security architect they will be able to give you that level of expertise you may need so if you go down this path and you're really looking to want to start a little bit higher rather than trying to grow it from within one of those three roles would set you up very very well as it relates to finding a good resource I can get moving right away now you can Outsource this can be done locally or can be done globally not for a small town you might want to go Global might be hard to find it in a smaller area however you can find these people locally and do you want to be able to rent the capability so a so security and Fire Chief Information Security Officer as a service or security-as-a-service on this going to happen for United States india-china you name it you can get it now you have to ask yourself though from a compliance point of view you may or may not want somebody was in those countries especially if you had a regulatory requirement around the US government that make put you in a different position so but you can get these resources from other places India and China have great people that can do this however you got to let know who is your audience and who are they going to talk to that can cause you some challenges but there's some really good resources and all these places can be a driver on and you may or may not get what you really are paying for and I don't mean this in a bad way but right now because cybersecurity is hot right and people are always looking to get into it there's a lot of people out there that'll say hey I'm a cyber-security expert I met a person while back that said I'm a cyber-security expert when I start asking deeper about what this gal knows and she's super nice gal and nothing against ladies or men or any of that doesn't matter it all comes right down to she didn't have the experience to really call herself as a cyber-security expert in all these areas now she's very good and compliance but she wasn't good in other areas she just didn't have the expertise so the cool part about that is you just really have to know and that's why the training is put out there so that you can idea what you're really looking for when you're trying to find a cybersecurity person and you need to ask the right questions no matter if the guy or girl doesn't matter okay you got to have the experience and resumes can be deceiving right be off in the room then comes down to is compensation what are you to pay these people you can look online and you get goes from all over the place I've seen security officers down to as low as $70,000 which is great if you can get it but I guarantee you get what you pay for so you might get someone who says hey I'm a security officer I can do it and they're paying him 70 granted you're going to get $70,000 in quality right but I've also seen guys that have commanded serious money that at the end of the day my love serious money not me serious money not me but they're at my level so you got to cut away all that right so how much are you willing to let go you got to ask how much money are you willing to put into this to it to get you what you want if you have a regulatory or compliance requirement you may want to spend the money if you don't then I would start lower I just really would and also what is your risk tolerance Lehigh rastello tolerance are you willing to accept a lot of risk if you are I would go lower and groom that person because bottom line is they're not going to stick around I mean it's hard to keep them around I should say because if they start building these these creds and they start growing as far as a security professional they're going to keep their eyes open and they're going to get poached by somebody so you want to come by also keep that in the back of your mind now sis outstanding security officer will range from on 250k to $380,000 US Standard right so with $380,000 you're talking to JPMorgan Citibank big regulatory Banks and so forth a lot of regulatory requirements you're going to command that kind of money and I've seen some upwards of $500,000 for a security officer I don't know it's plain to man I ain't getting paid that for the matter is is that that's that's really good if you can get it good on your right but you're talking to Cisco is probably making it on the average between about 180 to $200,000 with compensation packages and so forth may have bonuses in there you may not depends but that's about the average rate for a security officer depending on the size of your organization security card to text about 85 come in at now these numbers are numbers I pulled off the internet I don't know what they're worth you can say hey I'm more free undergrad well it doesn't matter what you think you're worthless best comes down to what they're willing to pay you so you got to ask yourself is 85 264 scooter architect that'll get most businesses in a really good spot it really will security analyst about 5280 that's about depend on the analyst that you pick up it'll get you up half to two-thirds there so you can wait payscale.com and again it fluctuate terribly but I will say it hasn't gone down it's gone up so these numbers are based on night 2017 2016 numbers to any way you can play with the rules title something else to play with if your HR person you're going well and I don't know if I want to hire a security officer cuz the moment you put out that I want to hire a security officer goes up I want to hire a security leader okay or like a director of information those titles you guys are well more verse in that than I am however you can play with that little bit the following is you get what you pay for and you get with your title is always look for a way to grow somebody into this role if your small to medium-sized business look too grown into it having the title of Cisco can also affect other things and you need to keep that in mind you can use it like carrot if your HR you know what I'm going to give you this title but only after X amount of years and you show consistent Improvement then we'll give you that moniker now it just because you give him the title doesn't mean you're going to pay him that right but it also helps them onto the next role as well certification so you got to ask yourself is do you require certifications prior to hire locations of tuffnut and I'll be honest with you I level of Creedence and certifications in the fact that they're getting harder and harder to accomplish you've got to have some level of expertise like the cissp foundational knowledge before you can even become certified get into that certification earlier but you don't become quote-unquote certified until you reached all the requirements and one of them is time in the seat basically time in the jet you're you are you're inexperienced your experience as paying off so those things are good I see valuable things in there now however experience in many cases over a certification just because the experience can go way further than any test you take so that's where is HR of got to weigh all this stuff out some people say I got to have Security Plus certification I got to have cissp I got to have Network plus I got to have but in reality the only as good as the person takes the test and obviously you know you got to do the interview process and so forth but those are going to get into the gate so cissp certified information security systems security professional certified information security managers of cism CompTIA Security Plus good foundational course just get the basics certified ethical hacker and then g-sec which is a Sans giac Security Essentials so all of those are very valuable and they're great ones to get you somebody started and if you're going to have to have a certification requirements you yet you can cut out the feel a little bit from everybody throwing their stuff their information out there then do it like that you know these are some really good certifications to use if you're looking for Lobster who's trying to apply for the role and they don't have a cissp and you don't want them I mean realistically cuz that's just part of the entry to get in and the test is a booger it's painful and sucks really really bad but it's important to do and it does give you some fundamentals and foundational aspects that use myself as an example I didn't have before the role I was and I didn't have a real good handle on disaster recovery and business continuity however the cissp help help get me set up so that when I did that opportunity to come up and I had to talk about it I actually understood what they were getting that so that's the foundational aspects around it okay hope you enjoy this time

Gem Over the Prairie
by Dan Glomski, senior educator at Aurora's Edgerton Explorit Center.
On Monday, August 21, 2017, the path of a total solar eclipse visits the continental United States for the first time in nearly four decades. Grand Island, located squarely within the path of the Moon's shadow, is a prime eclipse-viewing location.
A total solar eclipse ranks among the most spectacular events a person can witness in a lifetime. The Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, covering the solar disk. Day briefly turns into night – twilight, actually – before the Moon's motion around Earth begins to unveil the Sun, allowing direct sunlight to bathe the landscape once again.
Most people have seen nothing like this before. It's an incredibly dramatic, eerie event that can literally make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
The eclipse path – approximately 70 miles wide – crosses the country from Oregon to South Carolina. This is the first time the Moon's shadow has traversed the United States. coast-to-coast since 1918. Millions of Americans are located either inside the path or within a day's drive, and with thousands of visitors coming from outside the United States. this is likely to be the most-viewed total solar eclipse in history.
Grand Island is an enticing location for eclipse viewers. The Moon completely covers the Sun for 2 minutes and 35 seconds, within six seconds of the event's maximum duration (in southern Illinois and western Kentucky). The city is easily accessible by road or air, and climate data favors viewers: cloud-cover statistics suggest the region has a 70% chance of clear skies for viewing the eclipse. And, should clouds threaten to spoil the show, eclipse chasers can use Interstate 80 and other roads to find sunny skies.
With the thousands of visitors likely to visit the region, plans call for educational activities and other events to be held during the weekend prior to the eclipse. "With an event as rare and spectacular as this, we're going to do everything we can to showcase central Nebraska," said Brad Mellema, Grand Island Convention and Visitors Bureau director.
Eclipse viewing will be held at the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer, on the south edge of Grand Island and very close to the eclipse centerline. Stuhr Museum offers a lot of wide-open space and lots of parking.
Stuhr Museum is a tailor-made eclipse-viewing spot.
"Stuhr Museum is a tailor-made eclipse-viewing spot," said Mellema.
The next total solar eclipse visible from the United States occurs in 2024. Another total solar eclipse will not be seen from Grand Island until 2744.
"Take that Monday off and get a hotel room as soon as you can – if any are still left," Mellema said. An informational statewide eclipse website has been set up at NEclipse17.com.
Grand Island averages 225 sunny days a year according to the National Climatic Data Center. The odds of clear viewing from Grand Island are approximately 70-75%. Many people will believe they've seen a total eclipse before, or that a deep partial eclipse is close enough. However, the most spectacular eclipse phenomena (corona, surrounding twilight, etc) happens only during a total eclipse. The difference between a total eclipse and a partial eclipse is night and day – literally!
Last total solar eclipse in Grand Island 22 April 1194
Next total solar eclipse in Grand Island 31 July 2744
Last total solar eclipse in Nebraska 30 June 1954
Next total solar eclipse in Nebraska 3 May 2106
Last total solar eclipse in continental U.S. 26 February 1979
Next total solar eclipse in continental U.S. 8 April 2024
Next total solar eclipse visible anywhere on Earth 2 July 2019 (South Pacific, Argentina)
Average period of time between total solar eclipses in one spot 380 years
Average period of time between total solar eclipses on Earth ~1.3 years (67 in the 21st century)
