IT Security Company
Choosing the Right IT Security Company
Enterprise security management is increasingly costly and complex, but partnering with the right IT security company can help to simplify management and reduce costs while protecting data and people more effectively.
As the universe of threats to IT security grows in volume and sophistication, organizations must take a holistic approach to security programs. Successful initiatives must have a creative information security strategy as well as the right combination of technology, solutions, services, people and processes to execute it.
Many companies lack the in-house resources to evaluate, select and manage all these pieces effectively. Savvy companies turn to an IT security company for help to fill-in the gaps in their own internal capabilities. When seeking a partner with extraordinary experience and expertise in information security policy and management, many of the world's leading organizations choose Optiv.

Assertive men and women shape the world. Actions are rewarded. Thoughts and potential without assertive action lead to a heart filled with regret, and a life half-heartedly lived.
If you're going to succeed in life, you need to be assertive. Whether success, to you, means happiness, financial freedom, or billions in assets, if you're not assertive, you'll not only leave a lot of your potential unfulfilled, but you'll fail to take the risks needed in life to accomplish whatever it is that you want to accomplish.
Luckily, assertive is a learned action. It's learned through practice. If you want to become more assertive, taking control of your life in the process, follow the steps in this article and claim the greatness that is yours for the taking.
"Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in." – Napoleon Bonaparte
5 Ways To Be More Assertive
1. Be quick to decide
Practice being assertive by being quick to decide in your everyday decisions. Know what you want to order at the cafe and the restaurant. If your spouse asks Where do you want to eat tonight? answer quickly, assertively, and be happy with that answer.
As you're able to decide more quickly with regards to the small decisions in your life, you'll see that carry over to the bigger decisions. Decide quickly and with a purpose behind your decisions.
2. Have a clear vision of what you want
Every year I write down my ideal day. I'm ruthlessly detailed down to the smells I smell, the thoughts in my mind as I wake up, and the bed I wake up in – even the dream girl I wake up next to.
You have to know what your "ideals" are in every aspect of your life. This is your deepest, most meaningful desire and want. This is what will make you truly happy. This ideal day, if it could be lived everyday for the rest of your life, will let you live a life completely without regret.
Having a clear vision of what your soul wants is important. This may be a fast car, or it may not be. Get deep, down, and honest with yourself. What we truly want in life gets lost in what our friends want, or what we think we want.
Finding clarity will help you act more assertively.
3. Have a clear vision of what you expect
Don't merely set goals, set expectations. Expectations are far more powerful than goals that can be seen as pipe dreams and lofty wishes. What you expect of yourself is who you are. If you fail to adhere to your expectations, you fail to be the person you're trying to be.
Do you expect yourself to write 5 articles a day, close 5 clients, or do one thing you're scared to death of doing?
Your expectations should line up with your ideal day. There is, however, a catch. Don't expect things that you can accomplish with ease. Expect bigger, more audacious accomplishments. Be the person you want to become, don't wait for life to give you permission.
If you expect greater things from yourself, you'll have more confidence to be more assertive and to take bold actions towards your goals.
4. Actively face your fears
Fear and assertiveness oppose each other. You can't be timid and afraid and assertive. The two simply don't mesh.
Identify what your comfort zone is.
Success – and life – exists outside of your comfort zone, but few are actually able to recognize their comfort zone because they've lived within it their entire lives. Write down everything that is your comfort zone.
What makes you feel safe?
Is it only taking on small projects that you know you can accomplish? Is it only calling on small clients that you know you can close? Is your comfort zone a geographical location, do you need to travel alone to break free of your comfort zone?
Write it down, then write down everything that opposes your comfort zone; your fears. These are what you should follow in life. Your fears, those things just out of your grasp, just beyond where your comforts lie, is where you'll find life, and success.
The more fears you face, the more courage you'll possess. Courage and assertiveness do mesh. They complement one another. As you become more courageous (because of practiced action), the more assertive you'll become even with those things in life that scare you to death.
5. Act
"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage."
Far too many deliberate when they should act. Thoughtful people are praised far too greatly in our society, when it's those who act quickly that achieve the greatest things.
People don't follow titles, they follow courage.
Have the courage to take action when you want to continue to plan and avoid the actions you want to take. It's in action that we become more assertive. It's in becoming more assertive that we find success, meaning, and happiness in life.
"Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant." – Tony Robbins

If I do keep writing, it will be a bit of a reboot. Mommy blogging seems like practically a dead medium, unless (a) you're truly doing it just to keep family and friends updated, (b) you made it big during blogging's heyday and now you've got book deals and sponsorships and all that jazz, or (c) you took it all seriously enough to be hosted on a magazine-type platform like Huffington Post or Patheos, writing on a particular theme.
My reboot will (would?) be closest to option c. I don't anticipate writing for a bigger site, but I do hope to be--if not "serious," exactly--a little less random, and narrow my focus to a few things that have grown into passions for me. Things like:
- buying secondhand
- purging/avoiding excess "stuff"
- finding responsibly-made products
- reducing our consumption overall
- resisting consumerism
- countering consumerist influences on our children
- the "whys" and "hows" of all these things
I'm no expert on these, of course. The irony of valuing "less stuff" while I look around and see SO MUCH STUFF is disheartening but also motivating. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up is first on my reading list for 2018. (Alas for all the half-read books on my nightstand. I have a very bad habit of starting new books and then abandoning them as soon as I get a new book.) So, I might be writing stuff on supporting hobbies and passions--like reading, scrapbooking, and throwing parties, in my case--without a lot of unnecessary purchases.
I see the goal, overall, as living lighter--with less stuff weighing us down, and we ourselves being less of a burden on the earth and its people. It's being content with and grateful for what we have, and that's a pretty good goal for 2018.

The New York Times had an excellent article yesterday: "As Putin Talks More Missiles and Might, Cost Tells Another Story."
Here were some of the major highlights from the story:
- "Everybody should understand that we are living in a totally different world than two years ago," said Alexander M. Golts, an independent Russian military analyst. "In that world, which we lost, it was possible to organize your security with treaties, with mutual-trust measures," he said. "Now we have come to an absolutely different situation, where the general way to ensure your security is military deterrence."
- Russia feels alone and besieged, a sentiment that continuously provides fresh inspiration to overhaul a military once better known for the drunk, ill-equipped conscripts who fared so badly during two wars in Chechnya in the 1990s. "The Russian Army is returning to normal combat activities and training," said Igor Korotchenko, the editor in chief of National Defense, a monthly Russian magazine. "We are doing exactly what our Western partners are doing."
- "Russia has been making aggressive statements, insisting that it lives in a world of mutual military deterrence, while thinking that the West will not pay attention," Mr. Golts said. But the West paid attention, he said, and Russia is not ready. It is one thing to use a force of up to 100,000 well-trained, well-booted soldiers to seize Crimea or even to destabilize a neighbor, but it is a very different matter to take on NATO, he noted. Russia, lacking both the manpower and the weapons systems, will not be ready to do so any time soon, which is why Mr. Putin resorts to asymmetrical responses like nuclear weapons, analysts said.
The article goes on to discuss new tanks, whose orders have already been reduced. So, too, fighter jets, such as the T-50.
One thing the article didn't discuss, which I thought it should, was a comparison of the two economies, America and Russia, side-by-side.
Here are those figures (from Wikipedia):
- GDP: United States equals $17.4 trillion.
- GDP: Russia equals $1.8 trillion.
And here are military expenditures (from Wikipedia):
- U.S. $581 billion.
- Russia $70 billion.
- (Also worth noting that China's is $129 billion.)
You can click either Wikipedia link above to compare other countries. For instance, one interesting thing is that I had no idea that the U.K. has a much larger GDP than Russia.
Yes, the U.K. Crazy, right?
Anyway, I continue to think Putin will bluster and talk loud and maybe do a few stupid things, but in the end, he has to know he can't truly bully NATO and the United States. Not once he seriously forces the usually slow to act American people and Congress to act. Just ask the Germans and the Japanese.
Fact is, we typically arrive late to the party, but we bring the Suburban loaded with all our rich, drunk friends. And I don't care who you are, you really don't want us showing up to the party, because we're going to wreck the place… : )
Keep the faith,

DARTMOUTH � The Sister Teresa Trayers, SND chapter of the National Honor Society recently held its annual fall Rock-a-thon. Students gather pledges of non-perishable food items in return for time spent in rocking chairs over a two day period. An excellent effort by students, families, and friends resulted in a record setting 11,504 pounds of food collected.
The event gathers food for many of the area�s needy families, and is distributed to Shepherd�s Pantry in Fairhaven, Damien�s Pantry in Wareham, and Catholic Social Services Pantry in New Bedford. Stang officials offered many thanks to NHS advisers Manuel Medeiros and Donna McDougall, as well as to everyone who contributed to the very worthwhile cause.

Awning Projection & Pitch
Question: When an awning is fully extended, what is the height of the awning's front bar in relation to the mount-point height?
Answer: The mount point of the awning to the front bar when the awning is fully extended is called the "drop". This "drop" is easily adjusted. We have a recommended "drop" or pitch chart shown below. This chart provides an ideal for maximum strength and water run off. We understand that the ideal may not be possible or even desirable in many installations. This is why we offer very adjustable awning systems.
Our retractable awnings have "drop" or pitch adjustments up to 60 degrees. For example, an awning with a 10' extension would have a recommended 25" drop based on the pitch chart shown below. This means, if you mount the awning 10' high, the front bar will be 8' high when the awning is fully extended. Lets say you mount your awning 9' high and you want the front bar 7' high when the awning is fully extended. The drop would be 24". You could also adjust the awning to have a 5' drop or no drop at all. The adjustment is up to you. The chart is only a recommendation.
Recommended Awning Pitch
6 ft.
2 in. per foot or 12 in. total fabric drop
8 ft.
2 in. per foot or 16 in. total fabric drop
10 ft.
2 in. per foot or 25 in. total fabric drop
12 ft.
2-1/2 in. per foot or 30 in. total fabric drop
14 ft.
2-1/2 in. per foot or 35 in. total fabric drop
16 ft.
2-1/2 in. per foot or 40 in. total fabric drop
17 ft.
2-1/2 in. per foot or 42-1/2 in. total fabric drop
Retractable awnings should be retracted in situations that would subject your awning to extreme wind and/or heavy rain or snow conditions. I usually retract my awning when it becomes uncomfortable to relax under the awning. Lets face it, if the wind is too strong for you to sit out under your awning, then l retract the awning because it probably doesn't want to be exposed to the bad weather any more than you do! If you must leave the awning extended try a partial retraction to mitigate excess water build up or wind damage.

For those who utilize Google's expansive ecosystems, (even in the cases where you forget a service is a part of Google's always expanding domain,) you will not only see an entire lineage of each and every Google asset you utilize, but you are offered full control over the mannor in which your information is utilized and/or search results and related add content (* the reason everything is FREE!!) are displayed and/or customized for you or NOT.
You will also see sections on:
- "Set up search alerts for your data"

Any of these 3rd party sites were only provided initial access to your data, due to some "accept" or "yes" you granted them upon registering to a service or site. But again, you can reject those original permission any time you wish.
The "Search Alerts" section, mentioned above, is particularly cool, since you can ask Google to alert you if your name or private info, (or any custom request) is ever placed on another site to email you immediately. Google is after all scouring every website in the world with an arsenal of more computer systems than any other company in the world possesses.
The "Social Connections and Content" section, does a rather unique job of showing you a few connections on the internet you have through Google you may not have otherwise considered.
I would say the Dashboard is also a great reminder of the exceptional "ecosystem" of tools and service Google offers all of it's users. The tools are in many cases, second to none. And productivity and efficiency is often the name of the game. (Refer to an education focused, blog entry I submitted last year, for more details on just how powerful and useful many of these FREE assets are: "Continued Education Via The Internet" - http://goo.gl/vmAfL )
Keep in mind "paranoia will destroy ya!", so try to worry a bit less about how your potentially being exploited, versus how you are challenging yourself and growing towards more productively exploiting the tools and services available to those willing to explore, learn and take control of technology.
Fear of the unknown is never a good catalyst for feeling the victim. In 99% of the cases involving today's web based services, the control is yours to take. And the opportunities for those who learn to exploit these revolutionary technologies and services is truly endless.
So try to refrain from a mind set of boycotting an exceptional set of tools and services, simply because you can't be trifled with things like knowledge or learning curves. When laziness and/or bad info, equal (=) fear, we all loose.

My answer to immunity / Crit Damage / Caps / Nerfs / Boosts/ Changes is this:
For Summons: Starting at Level 50, Significantly increase the XP needed to level up Summons using the existing formula as a guide. Then at Level 65, increase slightly. Level 80, moderate increase. Level 95, another significant increase, bringing Summons to a crawl.
For Ninjas: Starting at Level 90, slightly increase the XP needed to level up Ninjas using the existing formula as a guide. Then at Level 100, increase slightly. Level 110, increase slightly and so on.
This idea effects everyone equally.
Going forward, % based stats should be added with caution and ALOT of chakra requirements. Ninkame and Katsuyu as well as [ INSERT % based Summon here ] give too much "Bang for your buck" and leave alot of room for premium builds. With the idea above, a small decrease of .25% to these stats could go a long way in balancing Summons.
I will include a very amateur example of what I think a Summon with 1% immunity could look like:
Quintuple Rashoumon - Purple fox
Five Layers
-Enemy Att, Tai/Nin Imm, End 2.5 / 0.5 / 0.5 / 3
68 Chakra or 72 Chakra
Effect: Decreases Attack on all ninjas on the enemy team. Increases Taijutsu/Ninjutsu immunity and Endurance on all ninjas on your team

When our patients over the age of 21 decide to visit us for their initial consultations, we find that it's typically for two main reasons: to reduce pain or discomfort from misaligned bites, and to address any self-esteem or confidence issues stemming from cosmetic concerns related to their smiles. Many patients are surprised to learn about the other changes that can happen just by addressing what often seem like straightforward malocclusion issues. Often, a major benefit of braces or alternatives like Invisalign is that you'll look and feel younger when you're finished. Keep reading to learn how that's possible.

Month: November 2014
What's the Best Age for Braces for Kids?
Our Smile Team gets lots of questions from parents and kids alike who all wonder the same thing: when is the best time is for children to begin orthodontic treatment? While we can't say that there's one best age to begin treatment, since the 'right time' is different for every patient (and can only be determined on a case by case basis), there are lots of reasons why early intervention can be better.
Meet Our Orthodontist in Halifax: Dr Stefanuto!
Did you know that Docbraces has two practices in the Halifax area? Our Kearney Lake office has been open since 2011, and you'll find our Dartmouth office located on Baker Drive, where it's been since 2013. Whichever location you choose, you'll be under the care of our skilled orthodontist, Dr. Allison Stefanuto. We thought you might like to learn more about our Halifax practice and our team, so here are a few facts about Dr. Stefanuto:

Could Orthodontic Treatment Really Give Me a Bracelift?
If you've decided that now is the time to make a change to your appearance, but you aren't sure where to start, there is one easy option that will provide you with long lasting cosmetic results and health benefits: orthodontic treatment. We've had lots of patients visit us lately asking if orthodontic treatment is for them, many of whom are concerned that because they're over 50 they might not be good candidates. The truth is that choosing braces or Invisalign later in life is increasingly popular, and half of Docbraces' patients are over the age of 21. You're never too old for orthodontic treatment, and your options are more comfortable and discreet than ever!

The KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival was an event held June 10 and 11th, 1967 at the 4,000 seat Sidney B. Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre high on the south face of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California. At least 36,000 people attended the two-day concert and fair that was the first of a series of San Francisco area cultural events known as the Summer of Love.[1] The Fantasy Fair was influenced by the popular Renaissance Pleasure Faire and became a prototype for large scale multi-act outdoor rock music events now known as rock festivals.[2][3]
Admission to the festival was $2.00 and all proceeds were donated to the nearby Hunters Point Child Care Center in San Francisco. The Fantasy Fair was originally scheduled for June 3 and 4 as a benefit for the center, but was delayed one week by inclement weather. Several acts booked for the original dates were unable to perform.[4]
KFRC 610, the RKO Bill Drake "Boss Radio" Top 40 AM station in San Francisco, had significant influence in the music industry among both counterculture and commercial acts. This enabled festival organizer Tom Rounds, KFRC's program director, to present a colorful and eclectic line-up of popular musicians from both in and outside the region. Canned Heat, Dionne Warwick, Every Mother's Son, The Merry-Go-Round, The Mojo Men, The Seeds, Blues Magoos, Country Joe and the Fish, Captain Beefheart, The Byrds with Hugh Masekela on trumpet, Tim Hardin, The Sparrow, The Grass Roots, The Loading Zone, The 5th Dimension and Jefferson Airplane were among the performers who appeared.[4] The Fantasy Fair was also The Doors' first large show and happened during the rise of the group's first major hit, "Light My Fire", to the top of the charts.[5]
Among posters created for the event was one designed by artist Stanley Mouse, then gaining acclaim for poster-art created for Bill Graham, the Fillmore Auditorium and Grateful Dead.
After enjoying a scenic ride up the mountain from embarkation points at the Marin County Civic Center, Mill Valley and other locations, a giant Buddha balloon greeted attendees when they arrived at the amphitheater. Transportation was provided by the tongue-in-cheek-named "Trans-Love Bus Lines", a variation of the line "Fly Trans Love Airways, get you there on time" from the lyrics to Donovan's song "Fat Angel". Performances were on a main stage and a smaller second stage. Various art-fair type vendors sold posters, crafts and refreshments from booths scattered in the woods around the amphitheater. The festival included a large geodesic dome of pipes and fittings covered with white plastic that contained a light and sound show.
The Magic Mountain Music Festival was favorably reviewed for safety in contemporary press accounts. Fights or disturbances were not an issue, and at the end of the day, trash was placed in or next to the garbage cans provided, and the crowd left the Mount Tamalpais as they found it.[6] In a foreshadowing of dark events to come at the 1969 Altamont Free Concert, this festival was rumored to be the first to employ Hells Angels motorcycle club members as security guards. Although Jefferson Airplane asked Hells Angels members to escort them from San Francisco to the venue, which they did without incident, the Hells Angels did not actually provide security for the event.
To some commentators, the festival represented a sea change in musical preferences among young Bay Area radio listeners as the hippie culture fully arose in mid-1967. Alec Palao and Jud Cost chronicled the San Francisco mid-sixties era music scene in 1991 in their magazine Cream Puff War #1. Writing about the weeks surrounding the Fantasy Fair, Cost noted that "the dichotomy in Bay Area music was never so evident, as the self-proclaimed "adult" scene separated itself from the "teen/pop" scenes."[7] Scram Magazine juxtaposed that view with pioneer rock magazine editor Greg Shaw's recollection that the rift between the tastes of teens and adults didn't form until later, after the freeform radio style then being established by Tom Donahue fully emerged in the fall of 1967.[8] A review of the bands that played indicates that most were groups that played the Fillmore and Avalon ballrooms and were part of the psychedelic rock scene at the time.
While the highly documented Monterey International Pop Festival continues to be remembered as the seminal event of the 1967 Summer of Love, the KFRC Festival took place one week before Monterey and is considered to have been America's - if not the world's - first rock festival.[2][6][9][10][11][12][13]

I've read a lot of short stories in the past five days. I'm surprised by them. Crime stories aren't anything like I thought they'd be. I thought you'd have to solve a crime and I haven't come across one that does that. They seem to be more O'Henry type endings.
Now I'm sorry I said no to all those other offers to be in an anthology. See what comes from not reading the manual.
Anyway, I have my opening line.

I bought a set Ispiri FFR1 20x10.5 ET30 set rims last week and the guy who sold me has put 285/35/20 Michellin PS4+ tires on it because I wanted comfort and sidewalk save for the rims.
Now I have mounted the set yesterday and today I drove with 1 friend on rear seat and some bumps and corners the rear tires are touching the car. I'm riding on original springs but I have a AccuAir airride set from my old A4 that I would like to mount next month on my A5.
What do you guys say, do I need to change the tire to 285/30/20 or 275/30/20 and the problem is gone?

[US]–After some intriguing drama between Uber and California, it appears the ride sharing giant has finally set up its autonomous pilot program in Arizona.
Uber announced on Twitter today that its fleet of self-driving Volvo XC90s is operational and ready for action in the Grand Canyon State. It's been about two months since Uber packed up its toys and moved to a different (and more literal) sandbox, after getting into a big ol' kerfuffle with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
In mid-December, Uber introduced a fleet of self-driving Volvo XC90s in California. The company, however, forgot about this thing called making sure that is fine, opting to ignore the Department of Motor Vehicle's requirement for a $150 permit and accident disclosures.
Why did it do that? Because it claimed the cars had drivers present, ready to assume control at any time, making those requirements unnecessary.
Since that didn't actually make the requirements unnecessary, the DMV demanded Uber stop its pilot program until it secured the permit. Uber said it wouldn't, but eventually, it did, after the DMV revoked the registration for all 16 of its autonomous XC90s. Uber, being the company run by grown-ass adults that it is, decided to toss the cars on a truck and headed to Arizona.
It's likely that, as before, the cars will operate anonymously within the greater Uber fleet in the Tempe area, with users unable to request them specifically.
Since Arizona's autonomous regulations are somewhat loose, there's a good chance the XC90s will stick around for a while.Please Follow Us @ThePageNg

The Wright Brothers
by findingDulcinea Staff
Wilbur and Orville Wright were brothers who tirelessly worked to create a working flying machine. The former bicycle shop owners were rewarded in 1903 when they constructed and successfully flew the Wright flyer. With this momentous event, the two brothers ushered in the age of human flight.
Bicycle Shop Beginnings
Visit this online museum exhibit to learn how Wilbur and Orville's childhood influenced their later careers, read about their business beginnings with the Wright Cycle shop, and discover how the two brothers ultimately created the world's first airplane. This site also has a very clear and comprehensive chronology of the Wright Brothers' lives.
The Wright House museum has an extensive archive of the original manuscripts and notes of Wilbur and Orville Wright. This quirky Web site is run by the estate of Frank Lloyd Wright and is devoted to famous Wrights in general, regardless of their relationship to the famous architect.
The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum offers online access to the Wright Brothers exhibition, which includes many historic photographs, cultural artifacts, instruments, and personal items associated with the Wrights.
The National Park Service maintains a Wright Brothers Memorial near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, home to the first successful human flight.
First Flight: December 17, 1903
"How We Made the First Flight" is an article written by Orville Wright. The text describes the exact research and experiments that led to the success of their 1903 flight.
The Franklin Institute provides amazing film footage of the flight of a 1911 Wright flyer.
Read it, See it
Newbery Award-winning author Russell Freedman wrote a biography, The Wright Brothers: How They Invented the Airplane.
The First Flight Society hosts a gallery of photos that documents the life of the Wright Brothers from childhood to airborne success.
The Library of Congress maintains a collection of photographs taken by the Wright Brothers. Viewing these images allows a glimpse into the process of inventing the first successful flying machine.
Science: Flying can be such a "drag"
Learn what the flight terms "lift" and "drag" mean, explore the interactive flight simulator, and read about the Wright Brothers' early experiments with bicycles.
The PBS show Nova is chock-full of interactive material on the Wright Brothers and flight. Click on an illustrated image to discover the techniques for piloting the 1903 Wright flyer and then view a collection of photos taken during the reconstruction of original Wright Brothers aircraft.
NASA provides links to simulations of flight on various aircraft and interactive tools that illustrate the principles of the science of flight. The site offers both computer models and physical models. Use the interactive computer models to learn what makes a plane fly and how it stays aloft. Then, look at images of physical models and learn where to see them in person.
A New York Times article explores man's never-ending quest to take to the sky. Recently, adventure-seekers from around the world have begun experimenting with "wing suits" which would allow them to soar from planes and high buildings without the need of a parachute.

Are you as sick as I am of the blow-by-blow coverage of the NHL lockout? In the wake of all the analysis, I'm left just confused.
It's hard to tell how far or close they might be, what with the constantly moving target of how far apart the two sides are money-wise or the battling over the make-whole proposition.
I don't care which owners are hawks or doves and am appalled at how far the NHL will go in declaring NHLPA head Donald Fehr to be public enemy No. 1 and an impediment to any deal.
Either way, I'm joining the sensible part of the population who basically wants to hear when a deal is done and a date when actual games resume. Until then, there are more than enough sports to keep any kind of fan busy. Here's a punter's guide on what to watch now.
1. The NFL, and more specifically the RedZone Channel: The NFL is king for so many reasons, and this weekend's action puts the playoff picture even more in flux, almost guaranteeing great finishes to the division races.
I'm generally not a big fan of the pay-to-watch era of sports that we are all moving toward, but the one exception that I've gladly paid for the past two years is the NFL's RedZone channel. This is the apotheosis of sports viewing.
For seven hours every Sunday, there are no commercials and the couch potato responsibility of flipping to the best game is left in the capable hands of host Scott Hanson and the RedZone crew. When there's more than one great thing happening, the screen splits two-three or four ways (the rarely seen, but glorious "quadbox"). From about 3 p.m. until 4:30, as the 1 o'clock choice ends — and usually with some crazy finishes — this is the most intense, joyful amazing sports watching any week of the football season. Other sports and channels have tried the game surfing concept, but RedZone has perfected it.
2. The NBA: Do we need to add the caveat "as long as it's not Raptors games?" The annual Christmas Day games are usually the NBA's coming-out party for the casual fan, but there are already so many great stories this season, including James Harden and Jeremy Lin's move to Houston, the continued excellence of Oklahoma City, the resurgent Knicks and even the Lakers befuddlements are fun to watch.
Which is one more reason to chastise TSN for delaying last week's Heat-Knicks game for Gary Bettman's press conference. I will grant you that it was Bettman's most animated performance in years, and they clearly know what is important to the majority of their audience, but really, a presser that is more important than a real game, and a highly anticipated one at that? What about the audience that tuned in for the game? It would only happen in this country and for something hockey-related. And it shouldn't have.
3. Non-NHL Hockey: The question you must ask yourself is, are you a fan of the NHL or of watching hockey? Because if the answer is the latter, you have no excuse as the lack of NHL hockey has given more time and airspace to the OHL, AHL, WHL and even U.S. college hockey available across several different channels. Generally, there are competitive, fun games to watch, and with so many teams stuffing their young stars on their minor league teams, the calibre of hockey is improving. Better yet, take your money and go see one of these games live if you can.
4. The Grand Slam of Curling: While there are some who scoff, curling has excellent ratings across Canada, and one reason to watch this is that as one of Sportsnet's recent acquisitions, it will be interesting to watch how they handle it and build it up.
5. Soccer: I'll admit I'm an event soccer guy, other than an occasional TFC game live, but the Premiership is in full swing and Sportsnet has many games on across their various channels. Some are early, but I'm getting very used to saying "Another beer with breakfast, please."
6. ESPN's 30 for 30 Series: It's not a game, but it's still the best ongoing sports documentary series out there. It would be better if they had a home on the schedule as opposed to moving around to fill space on TSN, but on Saturday night at 7 p.m., it's You Don't Know Bo, which tells Bo Jackson's incredible story. I liked a lot about TSN's Engraved on a Nation series of CFL docs, and would love it if Canadian sports networks continued down that path, commissioning docs about all manner of our sport stories.
7. Watching what the Blue Jays will do next: With all their moves, the Jays have already won Toronto's barren winter of sports, and excitement for the upcoming season is at an all-time high. There's still likely moves to be made, but anything Jays-related is worth watching now. The team's winter caravan kicks off in a few weeks, trying to muster up even more excitement across the country and last year, the team posted up videos from its stops. It is literally cold comfort until Spring Training arrives.
8. Watching TSN tease out the World Juniors: The thing is that every sport — and particular the other minor hockey leagues — should take a page from TSN's book and begin to build up their events like the World Juniors, a tournament that is a ratings juggernaut here, but barely scratches the sports consciousness around the world. Sure, it's a team of all-stars, but TSN made people care about it here. Every minor incident through the selection will be big news, but like with the NHL, I'm looking forward to when the games actually start.

Geneticists & evolution researchers sometimes agree and sometimes disagree, but there is a notion that our generation, especially times post AD 2000, has started to see a rise in the percentage of babies born with low birth weight (interestingly abbreviated as LBW), that is less than 2.5 kgs.
Maybe the environment of the entire world has now been polluted to that extent, or maybe it is an evolutionary trend, or maybe it just doesn't matter 'cause the doctors are still telling parents that "these low birth weight babies do real well in future" (now don't ask me what does 'real well' mean here – physically, mentally, or fortune-wise) – but what counts the most is the mothers' anxieties in the initial days till the time these LBW babies' height/weight plots merge into the mainstream colored 'acceptable' zone in the growth tracker charts.
Having tiny bodies with extraordinary need for nourishment & nutrition, it is also another important and very delicate matter to take care of their cleanliness & bodily hygiene at all times. Hence comes the question of proper diapering. Whilst the western countries & baby product companies have already thought about it and have a proper range of products in the supermarket isles, here in India the companies are still operating in a world of delusion that this is not a market segment they should be interested enough to play in. True to an extent since here in India maybe majority of the mothers are still preferring to use cloth nappies and cost of diapers are not really coming down below the level of Rs 6 to Rs 8 per piece, the fact of the matter remains that unless Indian players are really focusing on this size-segment, and, as a matter of fact, towards the overall diaper product space, the economies of scale won't come about and pricing won't really drop below Rs 3-4 range on which it would be affordable to the middle class Indians. For small babies, less than 6 months, at an average usage of 8 diapers per day, we are talking about a monthly budget of less than a 1,000 rupees (at price point of Rs 4 per diaper) which could be affordable, (of course, provided that the quality remains acceptable) compared to the current budget requirement of about Rs 2,500 which is prevalent today. And yes, sometimes the babies will decide to clear their bowels just after a fresh one has been put on – believe you me!
As I personally looked through the available products in the offline & online markets in India, one thing that struck me clearly was that for LBW babies majority of whatever was available wasn't really suitable. Each diaper comes with a weight range specification on it – something like "for babies between 5-8 kgs". {Though, on a sidenote, one problem is that you cannot keep using that diaper till your baby is really 8 kgs in weight – you have to move up the weight-chain as your baby weighs more than 7 kgs, typically. Higher the upper weight limit, quicker you have to upgrade (like for 14 kgs limit, upgrade at about 11-12 kgs timeframe).} Now for LBW babies, weighing maybe around 2 kgs +/-, typically what you get in the market are diapers having weight range of 3-7 kgs (and more of the upper brackets' stuff). If you want the baby to wear a diaper – and not a lungi – you got to have something that fits more snugly. After searching all possible places of baby products, mostly online "free delivery" & "cash on delivery" sites like firstcry.com, hoopos.com, babyoye.com, and even within the newly expanded range of baby products at my all time favorite filpkart.com, all I could find acceptable, and settled down to were these three:
Whilst Pampers and Huggies, as brands, are already quite established in India, the 3rd one here, Bella Baby is an European brand which is still trying to get a good foothold. The diapers, in comparison, are all quite good. Huggies & Bella Baby ones are ranged up to 4 kgs, while the Pampers New Baby one is up to 5 kgs. I would personally recommend the usage of a combination of these – either Huggies & Pampers or Bella Baby & Pampers, as the Pampers ones are better suited for night (when the changing frequency & alertness of the parent may dip) and other ones are better suited for day time. Prices are almost equivalent – ranging between Rs 9-11 per piece.
Filpkart, as usual, always delivers on time and from the point you place the order till it reaches you, you can always track your shipment online. Firstcry does a good job as well – but pricing aspect of Flipkar is something I personally preferred – always. And I don't know why – but interestingly, the Pampers one is not available in most of the sites except for Flipkart (though that may be just a temporary condition). However, you can still get it locally in big towns in one of those Baby product shops – but do check carefully which of the 2 variants you are getting there : the one imported from Middle East (22 pieces in a pack) or the one packaged in India (24 pieces in a pack). The latter one is cheaper.
Hope the tips are helpful for you. In case you are interested to buy any of the above, or other baby products online – the images are linked to the appropriate website – click away!

Curmudgeonly comments documenting an unsuccessful attempt to remain in the Episcopal Church (USA) and the Anglican Communion at the same time---with some leavening for good measure.
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Virginia Supreme Court to Hear Falls Church Petition
The argument is limited to just ten minutes. Only the appellant's attorneys (the ones who filed the petition seeking review) may argue, but the appellees, their attorneys, and members of the general public may attend and listen to the proceedings. There is more about the writ panel procedure at this link.
The last time this case was before the Virginia Supreme Court, in April 2010, only five of the Court's seven justices heard the case (including two retired senior justices), because four active justices recused themselves (most likely on the ground that they were Episcopalians). Of the active Justices who did not recuse themselves, Justice Cynthia D. Kinser is now the Chief Justice, and the former Chief Justice, Leroy R. Hassell, is no longer on the Court. The only other active Justice who sat on the prior appeal is Justice LeRoy F. Millette. The two senior justices who participated, Justice Elizabeth Lacy and Justice Lawrence Koontz, are still hearing appeals in the place of Justices who recuse themselves.
New on the Supreme Court since the April 2010 hearing are Justice Cleo E. Powell, who began her twelve-year term in October 2011, after serving both in the Circuit Court and on the Court of Appeals, and Justice Elizabeth A. McClanahan, who was sworn in in September 2011. Justice Powell belongs to the Baptist Church (her pastor is the current Mayor of Richmond); the religious affiliation of Justice McClanahan, if any, is unknown.
With Justices Lemons, Goodwyn and Mims likely to recuse themselves again, that would leave three, or potentially four, active Justices available to hear the case. Thus it is likely that one or more of the senior justices will again be called upon to participate, if the petition is accepted.
The decision whether or not to accept the appeal will not be announced for several more weeks after the writ panel meets on October 16.
That date, by the way, is the same day on which the Texas Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in both the Fort Worth and the San Angelo appeals.

Was it mandatory for Episcopalian justices to recuse themselves on the basis of their religion?
That is a complicated question, Fradgan. The standard which applies frequently (I do not know specifically about Virginia), and with which I am most familiar, says that judges should recuse themselves in any case in which their participation could create the "appearance of impropriety."ReplyDelete
This standard is by no means uniform. For example, in the appeal by Christ Church in Savannah to the Georgia Supreme Court, a couple of justices recused themselves on account of their religious affiliations (see this post for details), but the justice who authored the majority opinion did not see fit to recuse himself, even though he was a member of one of the largest Episcopal congregations in the State.
And guess what -- if you challenge a sitting judge or justice under these standards, it is the judge / justice himself who makes the first determination as to whether an "appearance of impropriety" is involved. After that, you have to take an appeal to an appropriate appellate court -- whose justices regularly have lunch with the judge whose impartiality you are challenging, and in my experience, they always give that judge the benefit of the doubt, despite what "appearances" could say.
Speaking specifically of Virginia, judicial disqualification in the Commonwealth is governed by the Canons of Judicial Conduct promulgated by Virginia's Judicial Inquiry & Review Commission (JIRC), available at http://www.courts.state.va.us/agencies/jirc/canons_112398.html.ReplyDelete
Specifically, Canons 3E and 3F govern disqualification and the remittal (i.e., waiver) of disqualification.
In practice, this has led to the standard procedure being exactly what happened in the first round before the Supreme Court of Virginia: some of the justices identified the appeal as "a proceeding in which [each] judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned" under Canon 3E(1) and asked the parties whether to waive disqualification pursuant to 3F. When at least one of the parties declined to waive disqualification, each judge recused himself.
Note that being a practicing Episcopalian isn't (by a long shot) the only potential basis upon which a justice might be concerned that his or her impartiality might be questioned. It could be former membership in an Episcopal parish, current or former membership in a similarly situated denomination, or something entirely unrelated to the justice's religious affiliations, such as an indirect economic interest in the outcome of the litigation through a spouse or other family member.
Yes, October 16 is stacking up as an important date. We here in the (real) Diocese of Fort Worth are in anticipation as the Texas hearing precedes the diocesan convention by just a few weeks.ReplyDelete

The massive Space Shuttle Endeavour rolled carefully through the streets of Los Angeles today, creeping slowly towards its final resting place at the California Science Center.
People lined the streets pointing their cameras as the five-story-tall spacecraft with its 78-foot wingspan wound along its journey.
Streetlights and some power lines had to be moved, and a few trees trimmed as the shuttle rolled by.

Why You Should Get a Scuba Diving Certification
Most people consider scuba diving as an exceptionally enjoyable and relaxing sport, but do you know that it is also great for your health and fitness too? No matter if you are an amateur recreational diver wanting to check out the magnificent reefs of the seas, or an long time deep sea diver who likes seeking out the depths still unseen by the human eye, scuba diving provides numerous advantages. Do not forget that 70% of the world is covered in water and the best way to explore it is with scuba diving!
Getting a scuba certification can be an significant resource for individuals who love to dive and look into the glory of the seas. If you intend to dive you are required to take a class. In New Jersey, a scuba diving certification is necessary before you can get on dive boats and rent diving gear. Unless you are sufficiently trained, you are a risk to your companions while you are underwater. Listed are some of the reasons to get a scuba diving certification.
Relaxing Effect of Scuba Diving
Smart Tips For Uncovering Courses
It is difficult to concentrate in most other types sports because there will often be some sights or sounds that distract you. The sound of your breathing is the one sound that you can hear while you are diving. Emptying your mind of any worries and just letting nature take over is an sublime feeling. This is what diving can provide for you, unlike any other kind of sport.
Discovering The Truth About Diving
Scuba Diving Improves Health and Fitness
During a dive, your muscles work arduously as you travel through the water that provides quite a resistance. With this, you fortify your muscles and additionally build up your flexibility and perseverance. Through the sustained propelling and paddling, you further build up your dexterity, specifically in your feet and leg areas. Because you are using most of your body muscles concurrently during a dive, you additionally give yourself a full cardiovascular workout. Moreover, diving decreases blood pressure. In fact, there are scientific reports saying that the individuals who dive frequently are less inclined to be develop strokes and heart attacks.
Scuba Diving is Great for Socializing
Many of us worry about having no else in the deep waters to help them when something goes wrong, but it is honestly the opposite. When you get your scuba diving certification, you will be be able to meet new people who are exactly in the same boat as you, literally.
Scuba Diving is an Adventure
Swimming with whales, sharks, manta rays, and different schools of fish is a breathtaking and incomparable experience. No aquarium in the world, no matter how enormous it may be, can compare to the feeling of being deep in the sea. Diving is an incredible way to explore the depths of the ocean and feel like an adventurer looking for new places to visit.

Technorati Raises More Cash, $7.6 Million More
TechCrunch � Blog Archive � Technorati scores $7.6m more funding Marshall Kirkpatrick writing for TechCrunch has an article out on Technorati taking another $7.6 Million in VC money.
From Marshall, "People have had a close eye on the company recently. Traffic continues not to spike, some employees have left, and rumored acquisitions didn't pan out. Given that the previous round was in 2004, the company had to be low on cash. Our assumption is that this round was done at a flat or down valuation. Technorati will not comment on corporate activities, so additional information will almost certainly not become available."
It's interesting. I use Technorati every single day. It's one of my most used sources to monitor things going on on the internet. And without knowing anything about their financial position, it would still seem to me that part of their strategy most likely would involve selling themselves to someone else at some point down the road. But after awhile when you take in so much VC money and VCs of course want huge multiples on their returns, you have to wonder who is going to pay what the VCs might need to actually buy the company at this point.
It would likely have to be someone big — Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, etc. But wouldn't these companies have bought them by now already if they really wanted them? Maybe someone who understands the VC game better than I do could enlighten me.

A debut novel that combines the politics of big law firms, securities fraud and illicit affairs.
Mitzner's tale follows the story of Alex Miller, who shares the author's initials and occupation: defense attorney. Miller, married to Elizabeth and father to 5-year-old Charlotte, works for one of those huge law firms that expects its employees to work nearly around the clock. When Alex's father dies, his father's closest friend, Michael Ohlig, a wealthy securities trader, asks for Alex's help. Ohlig expects to be indicted for securities fraud and wants Alex and his firm to represent him. Alex agrees, and Michael ponies up the $2 million retainer. Then beautiful Abby Sloane is assigned to the case as Alex's second and the situation get predictably complicated from every angle: Alex finds himself drawn to her, the case heats up and things get personal with his mother, who has not been herself since her husband died. When everything starts slipping out of control, Alex faces both a personal challenge and a startling truth. The first half of the book reads like a tutorial on the operation of a big-city law firm. The author goes into dreary detail about every aspect of the securities case, even naming all of the associating attorneys and their clients, despite the fact that most of them never really surface again. Mitzner also has a tendency to over-explain the inner workings of the system from the lawyer's point of view with the result that the first half reads more like a legal text than a work of fiction. In fact, the first chapters are so weighted down with legalese and filler (every meeting has a buffet, and the author provides a faithful rendition of the food choices) that the story surfaces as an afterthought. It's not until the Mitzner moves past the securities phase that Alex becomes interesting and the story line picks up speed. Most readers aren't going to wade through the first part to get to the second, which is a shame because that's when the real storytelling begins.
A lukewarm legal tale that only comes alive in the second half.

The greatest fish story ever told / Splashy graphics bring 'Nemo' home
Finding Nemo: Animated adventure. Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres, Geoffrey Rush and Allison Janney. Written and directed by Andrew Stanton. (VHS and DVD. G. 101 minutes.)
Those busy, witty computer minds at Pixar have made toys walk, bugs talk and monsters rock. So what's the next challenge? Doing it underwater?
OK, now they're just showing off.
From the pink jellyfish meadow to a creepy sunken submarine, the computer graphics in "Finding Nemo" make "The Little Mermaid" look like a coloring book.
The visuals pop, the fish emote and the ocean comes alive. That's in the first two minutes. After that, they do some really cool stuff.
With the track record of "Toy Story" (the first and second), "A Bug's Life" and "Monsters, Inc.," Pixar has the kid-vid genre wired. There's a familiar appearance to Pixar characters -- oversize eyes, chubby cheeks -- but their real secret lies in their smart-aleck souls. A Disney movie like "Treasure Planet" may have the look of an oil painting, but leave it to Pixar to work in a G-rated joke about breaking wind.
Now, fair warning should be given that, although director-writer Andrew Stanton gets full marks for avoiding an overdose of the cute and adorable in "Finding Nemo," younger kids may find at least one plot development unsettling.
Right off the bat Stanton pulls a "Bambi," when a fishy mom disappears after a scary barracuda attack. She's not coming back, either.
If that little jolt can be overcome, almost everything else is giddy, kiddy fun. Even that scary, toothy shark you see in the ads is a good guy. Turns out he's in a 12-step program to curb his addiction to fish.
The core of the story is voiced by Albert Brooks as Marlin, the overprotective father of Nemo, a cute little clown fish with one undersize flipper. As usual in the Pixar formula, the plot is chock-full of narrow escapes and last-second heroics. But more than anything, it looks as if the filmmakers are having fun. Stanton had the weight of this underwater world on his shoulders, but he took the time to provide the dreamy, surfer/stoner voice of a sea turtle.
And then there are the little attentions to detail that make all the difference. The horrible little girl who wants to make Nemo her pet looks just like Chucky the slasher puppet -- with braces. And the greedy, single-minded seagulls ask just one question, over and over -- "Mine? Mine?" You'll think of it every time you hear a seagull caw.
Advisory: Kids may be upset when fish mom disappears; exciting chase scenes.

At a time when hope for our governmental system was ebbing during the fiscal cliff crisis, several hundred young Hoosiers gathered at IUPUI in Indianapolis to refute despair.
"We the People" is an annual, statewide and national competition. It is focused on the citizen and the Constitution and sponsored by the Indiana Bar Foundation.
Bemoan the quality of education in our state and you are unaware of this volunteer effort by teachers, students, parents and administrators to teach the fundamentals of our government and its founding document. It is one of the good apples in the barrel we all decry.
District meets send 12 junior and 12 senior high school teams to the state competition. From there, the state senior high victor goes on to the national level. Hundreds of students, their teachers, parents and grandparents watch as small panels of competitors answer questions from volunteer judges about the meaning of the Constitution and its relevance to today. The competition is conducted with dignity and respect and thereby differs from the congressional hearings after which it is modeled.
These students tackle basic questions about federalism, questions that often baffle our elected offices. They understand the conflicts of interest and preferences that underlie current issues and often confound the justices who must decide cases based on fundamentals.
As the panels of judges rotate from the rooms housing individual schools, the tension grows. Could this next group possibly exceed the performance of the last? The judges ask questions and lead discussions centered on specific topics such as the responsibilities of citizens, our basic Constitutional rights, and the nature of federalism.
Students, often with voices barely audible due to nervousness, have prepared opening statements but are tested by the judges whose follow-up questions are frequently politically hot topics in today's newspapers. Some judges guide the students who seem most tentative while others will challenge the more confident students.
Not all schools in Indiana participate, although their students would benefit from being part of "We the People." Many of this year's teams come from metropolitan Indianapolis as well as from Fort Wayne and Evansville, Gas City and Munster, Nashville and Bunker Hill. Their preparation ranges from outstanding to very good and is a function of their teachers' and parents' interest in the program.
The result is a festival -- a celebration of well-prepared youth and the still-young ideas that bind this nation. Here there are no political factions or parties. There is only the contest of ideas and the civility expected of those who live by and support the rule of law.

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will lead the Congress campaign for 2014 Lok Sabha elections, said a resolution moved at the All India Congress Committee meeting Friday.
It noted that the results of four assembly polls held last year were a "wake-up call" that should motivate the party to work harder.
"This meeting of the AICC declares that the Congress party's 2014 Lok Sabha election will be led by Rahul Gandhi," the resolution said.
It also called upon party workers to better connect with the people.
The resolution said the party was confident of facing the challenges ahead.
"Indian National Congress stands fully prepared to confidently face the challenges ahead. It will go the people in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections on the basis of its core values of secularism, social justice and inclusive growth," said the resolution moved by union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.

MA161 CALCULUS I (4 Cr.)
Applies toward the division III liberal studies requirement.
MA163 CALCULUS II (4 Cr.)
Prerequisite: MA 115 or satisfactory score on the Math Placement Exam. A graphing calculator or equivalent software is required.
Offered: Fall, Winter
General Introduction and Goals
The Calculus sequence is offered in three semesters. (The course description for Calculus III (MA 265) is included separately.) This sequence of courses serves many majors, in addition to our own, and provides students with the opportunity to develop logical reasoning and complex problem-solving skills, and to learn useful applications.
Calculus is a pinnacle of intellectual achievement with a remarkable ability to express characteristic properties of natural phenomena. More importantly, calculus contains a wealth of computational tools that assist in analyzing these relationships. In fact, the computational tools are now so well understood that they can be reliably done in software. Accordingly, greater emphasis will be given in these courses to achieving a deeper understanding of the principles of calculus and the ability of students to apply these principles, with technological support, in a wide variety of settings.
In these courses, the student will have the opportunity
- to explore the fundamental paradigm of Calculus: approximate and find the limit of increasingly more precise approximations;
- to relate the fundamental paradigm to the characteristic applications in the physical and social sciences;
- to develop the capability of expressing natural phenomena using the concepts and notation of calculus;
- to develop an understanding of the inter-relationships between numerical, graphical and symbolic expressions of a problem;
- to build a good working set of computational capabilities and provide access to computer algebra systems, graphing calculators or similar technological support for non-routine, but well understood algorithmic processes;
- to learn to think conceptually, and to look at a problem both from the perspective of first principles as well as a member of a class of problems for which general techniques apply; and
- to develop expository writing skills of the form associated with a report.
Note: no special emphasis is given to the role of technology in the description of the course content. That is not to be taken to mean that no such instruction will take place in these courses. On the contrary, it is assumed that graphing calculators, computer algebra systems, spread sheets and similar technological support will be included regularly throughout the courses.

IKEA strives to help consumers live their lives more sustainably. The Swedish retailer, known for offering smart interior solutions at affordable prices, now invites the UK consumers to buy the solar panel packages for private houses to make them as green as never before. The new equipment will be available at all 17 company's stores within the next 10 months.
The decision to trade solar panels builds on the success of the pilot sales of the photovoltaic (PV) system at IKEA's Lakeside store to the east of London in July. Currently, the store sells one photovoltaic (PV) system almost every day, which is more than promising for the niche. The standard 3.36kW photovoltaic system, designed for a semi-detached home, will be available for £5,700 (about $9,200). The IKEA customers will get 18 panels plus in-store consultation, installation and maintenance of the panels.
The solar-powered systems not only save natural resources but also drive revenue for the owner—in Britain, those who install solar panels in their houses get subsidies for generating solar-sourced electricity and sending the power excesses into the grid. According to IKEA's study, an average semi-detached house that has a south-facing roof will generate its owner as much as £770 a year—the earnings are sourced both from subsidies and savings on energy bills.
"We know that our customers want to live more sustainably and we hope working with Hanergy to make solar panels affordable and easily available helps them do just that," commented Joanna Yarrow, IKEA's head of sustainability in the UK and Ireland.
Solar power trend is gaining momentum in the UK now—year-on-year installations are rising 25% in September to 1.7 gigawatts. IKEA, which encourages consumers to adopt greener housekeeping, aims to source at least 70% of its energy needs from wind and solar power by 2015 and 100% by 2020.
