Issues of security, increase in doctors salaries
Rawalpindi, Jan 01: Rawalpindi Young Doctors Association (YDA) on Thursday observed a complete strike at allied hospitals and staged a protest demonstration at Holy Family Hospital (HFH) to press the Punjab government for acceptance of their longstanding demands of security during working hours and increase in salaries.
However, the doctors and paramedical staff remained present in the allied hospitals Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Coronary Care Units (CCUs) and provided medical treatment to the patients.
More than 200 doctors took part in the protest, They were carrying banners and placards inscribed with slogans "Ensure the safety of doctors and paramedical staff during duty hours", "Stop implicating doctors in murder cases", "Announce duty time frame for the doctors". They took a round of HFH and registered their protest by standing outside every department of the hospital.
They also chanted slogans against their professors, highups of health department and the Punjab government.
While addressing the protestors at HFH, YDA City President Dr Haroon said the young doctors were facing hardships while performing their duties in the government run hospitals, as the government had provided them no security.
He said murder cases were being registered against the doctors, which he said was an injustice. He said YDA strongly condemned this practice. He said doctors had to work 70 hours continuously, but they were not being given salaries.
He said if any doctor had shown any negligence while giving medical treatment to any patient then a neutral inquiry should be conducted against him/her. "No doctor can be fired from his/her service even by the chief minister or prime minister without holding a proper inquiry," he said.
Dr Madeeha said political influence in government run hospitals should be ended. She said it was lamentable that workers or leaders of political parties thrashed doctors and paramedical staff on duty.
Dr Shafique of Benazir Bhutto Hospital (BBH) said professors were usurping the rights of young doctors. He termed all the professors as "Pharaohs" and urged the doctors to stand up against their wrong policies.
Dr Bilal of HFHsaid a doctor earned equal to a labour and his/her (doctor) salary should be increased. The YDA called off their strike after the assurance of Rawalpindi Medical College (RMC) Principal and allied hospitals head Dr Musaddiq Khan that their problems would be solved as early as possible.
Dr Musaddiq asked the YDA office-bearers to give him their demands in writing so that he could forward them to the Punjab government. Daily times

HEC chairman visited AAUR
Rawalpindi: Dr Javaid R Laghari, Chairman Higher Education Commission (HEC), visited the Farmer Market Private Limited (FMP) Hydroponics Plant at Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR) here Thursday.
During his visit, the chairman praised the efforts and commitments of the university administration for running the Plant with total indigenous workforce and emphasised on the commercialisation of the project for ensuring food safety for our future generations. Dr Laghari also paid tributes to the agricultural scientists and all workers of the project for successfully running the project.
On the occasion, Prof Dr Khalid Mahmood Khan, Vice Chancellor AAUR, briefed the HEC chairman about the process of taking over of the FMP by the university and the different challenges faced during the process to make the project operational.
Dr Khalid informed that the estimated average daily production of the Hydroponics Plant is 2-3 ton and the Plant's tomatoes are enriched with nutrients as compared to those produced in normal soil. This system of production prevents the plants from getting in contact with diseases, he further said.
It may be recalled that the University has taken over the assets of the Hydroponics Plant on unconditional basis from an international organisation, Farmer Market Private Limited. The Plant has a capacity of 50,000 plants in its five-acre glasshouse, alongside integrated facilities that include cold storage, packing and shipping facilities, offices and residences over an area of 13.5125 acres.
This was a highly challenging task and the University accepted it to ensure food safety in the country and generate precious foreign exchange. The news

New now
The website has a new look! Okay, yes, the difference is kinda subtle, but I hope it reads as cleaner and less like (as a friend put it recently) a MySpace page. *shudder* I also added the About Jeanie page. What do you think?
Coming later this month
I am so close to being done with my new short erotica story, "Made to Order," and am excited to share it with you! And how will that be happening? Glad you asked! Later this month I'll be publishing my first collection of short stories, which will include two speculative erotic fiction shorties and two contemporary erotic shorties. (I made up the word shorties by virtue of typo just now. Short + stories = shorties. Feeling brilliant.) "Made to Order" will be in the collection as well as "Crouch," "Turning Point," and "Serran's Fantasy," the last of which is also an excerpt from my forthcoming contemporary romance novel At First Blush.
This short story collection will be sold as an ebook for 99¢, but you'll have a chance to get it free by signing up for my mailing list. When I get the mailing list set up and running, that is. So be on the lookout for that!
Coming in 2015
Last but not least, I've been working up my project plan for next calendar year. I plan to release three books:
- May - At First Blush, a contemporary romance
- June/July - Lilly Frank omnibus (all three Awakening books packaged together with new shorties from that world)
- Fall/Winter - The Pirate Queen, a historical pirate romance
I'm also looking into a pretty substantial overhaul of this website, complete with proper domain name and some branding and stuff. I figure now that I'm working on my fourth book and starting to make serious attempts to build my audience base, having a website that looks like an author lives here is a good investment.
And if I'm very good/lucky and my energy holds out, I'll be writing a couple more short stories and releasing a second collection of shorts either at the end of next year or the beginning of 2016. That would be so cool!!!

The MAMA this year is definitely one of the most memorable for EXO as well as us, the EXO stans. As much as i'm touched and thrilled with EXO winning the ALBUM OF THE YEAR award, there's this unfortunate incident that made the joy less full. You probably all know what it is, it's KyungSoo spraining his ankle. However, he still endured the pain and finished the performance perfectly. If i were him, i would never have pulled that off. That's why to me, he's such a strong giant, both physically and mentally.Here you can see how much pain he was in and yet his eyes still shined with determination.
A close up
But what touches me the most was the love, care and respect the masternims as well as EXO stans gave. After the incident, the fansite noonas stopped updating previews and just posted how the situation was. When EXO came back from HK, the fans also tried to give KyungSoo more space.
Also, KyungSoo himself, though in crutches, always smiled and said "I'm OK" to the fans. It shows how much he appreciates our love, which makes me fall for him more.
"When you smile, the sun shines".
He's just so cute that i cant express enough with my vocabulary XD. See how he didn't forget to greet the fans even in that state XD so polite XD.
So KyungSoo ah, the cute-squishy-polite-kind-warmhearted but fierce and strong-willed KyungSoo ah, nothing hurts us more than seeing you (as well as the rest of EXO) in pain so though i understand that you want to deliver the best performances, your health and well-being are far more important. Please Please take care of yourself. I hope that our wishes and prayers work and you'll get well in no time 😀 #GetWellSoonKyungsoo
PS: This is so unrelated but i couldn't help my feelings. Don't watch this if you wanna sleep. Don't say that i didn't warn you. (Sr i couldn't find the engsub one)

As measured by one key number, Facebook CFO David Wehner made Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat look like a profligate spender in the second quarter.
Facebook's second quarter operating margin, or the percentage of revenue left after deducting expenses, was 47.2 percent.
That was far better than Alphabet's margin of 26.4 percent.
(The Alphabet figure excludes the impact of the $2.74 billion European fine that was a big drag on its profit growth for the period.)
Wehner tightened down expenses even as Facebook generated revenue growth of 45 percent, more than twice Alphabet's rate of 21 percent.
That combination of surging sales and slowing expenses helped drive Facebook's shares to a record high Thursday.
Alphabet shares, on the other hand, fell the day after its report.
To some degree, the divergence is simply because Alphabet is five years older than Facebook, and books almost 3x as much revenue -- $26.01 billion, vs $9.32 billion for Facebook in Q2. Facebook is starting from a lower base, so doesn't have to spend as much to generate growth as Alphabet does.
But the favorable comparison is not set in stone and could even go negative for Facebook in the second half.

What is the Fall Autumnal and Vernal Spring Equinox?
There are two equinoxes every year. One occurs in March and the other in September.
The word Equinox is derived from Latin, meaning "equal night." On the March and September equinoxes, the Sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night are said to be equal.
Even though the date changes slightly each year, the spring vernal equinox and fall autumnal equinox always occur at the same time. The season you welcome depends on the side of the equator you live on.
In the southern hemisphere, the autumnal equinox occurs on the same day as the spring equinox. It marks the official beginning of fall.
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and are welcoming the fall try these ways to celebrate the fall autumnal equinox.

Below you will find 15 spring equinox celebration ideas. Some of these suggestions are individual ways to celebrate while others can be done with family and friends. Create something meaningful for you and your family and you can't go wrong.

15 Spring Vernal Equinox Celebration Ideas
1. Get Outside & Connect
Take some time to celebrate the new life that surrounds you in nature. Watch the sunrise and/or sunset, go for a walk in the park, take a bike ride, lay in the grass, or take a hike. As you do so, observe all the new life beginning around you.
For more outside activities check out Get Outside & Connect.
2. Plant New Life
This is a good time of year to start planting your flowers and gardens if you haven't already. If you live in an area where it is still not possible to plant anything, you can start some plants indoors or get your yard and garden ready for late spring plantings.
You may enjoy Planting Spring Flowers or Planting Sunflowers with the kids.
3. Visit a Megalithic Monument
This may not be possible for many of us but the idea of it sure is fun! Stonehenge is open to visitors on the winter and summer solstices and spring and autumn equinoxes.
4. Bring Spring into your Home
- Pick or purchase a bouquet of spring flowers.
- Refresh and renew your home and body with essential oils. There is nothing like an essential oil diffuser to bring the fresh scents of spring into the home. To learn more check out Getting Started with Essential Oils for a Healthy Home.
5. Prepare a Family Feast
No spring celebration is really complete without a family meal to go along with it. For the solstice, celebrate with foods that honor the coming of spring — eggs, early spring greens, shoots, sprouts, seasonal local produce, local bread, wine, etc.
6. Have or Attend a Bonfire
A bonfire is a great way to celebrate the equinox. Tell stories, dance, sing, beat drums, play music, and celebrate the spring.

Right off the bat I will tell you Blucher delivers on its promises - you are the General and commander of the Army. That is you command multiple Corps and you make "operational level" decisions - a huge selling point for me when looking at Grand Tactical set of rules.
Your success hinges on the success of your Brigades in the close fight, and you must have a plan (and a reserve) to fight. The enemy gets a vote, too, and Blucher hones a "neat" system for making sure you can't do all the things you want to do in a turn. In fact, it's probably the best system I've yet come across for enforcing limitations of your headquarters on you. This is accomplished through the use of "momentum" where at the end of your turn you roll. The resulting roll equates roughly to the number of units your opponent can activate. The best part is, your opponent doesn't know what his momentum number will be from turn to turn as that is managed by the opposing player!
As Ken pointed out, it's nice because there are "quiet" portions of the battlefield where nothing is happening, more than likely until the Momentum allows you to activate them. Players will find themselves concentrating on a pivotal Corps or grouping that is important to their plan.
|Ken playing the Austrians - yours truly (moi?) playing the French.
|Ken's laminated unit cards. Very nice and using wet erase markers to track unit status
|Brigades of the I Corps moving into position to attempt to breakthrough in the vicinity of the Austrian left flank.
|Ken schooled me with close combat - always better to attack with 2 units than one!
|Ken's Austrian Brigades coming up to parry the French thrusts at their flank.
|Ken put some of my Bavarians atop a base. They look good on there so imagine the entire table full of troop atop these bases!
|After some combats.
|Artillery Battery!
|Another gratuitous shot of my Eureka Bavarians!
Thoughts on Blucher
Well I hope you can tell by now that I am a big fan of this game. If you're looking for big-level games that won't take forever and a day to play and you don't want to have to play Company, Battalion, Brigade, Division AND Corps Commander, then Blucher is most likely for you. I will go so far as to say it may go Volley and Bayonet "one better" in that it's more streamlined and probably plays faster when you have more experienced players on both sides. Ken had to talk me through some parts that are a slight departure from most mainstream rules but these are learned after a few turns (we are on turn 9 and I feel I have the basics covered now).
My recommendation to you is that if you want to fight entire battles and make big level decisions, then this game should be part of your collection.

May I start by hoping that everybody who reads this post has an extremely 'HAPPY CHRISTMAS'!!!!!!!!!
I have seen all sorts of hype around this new 'holiday season' over the years but unfortunately it's getting stronger. We are supposed to avoid upsetting people by saying happy holidays instead, so that we can include everybody. Tripe!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is welcome to be included in having a Happy Christmas anyway. We don't exclude anybody at all and neither does Jesus. Let's hope that this doesn't become a real political matter and that people can see sense. I/We respect all other celebrations in other religions and I have never met anybody from a different faith who it offends.
I have to say that if saying 'Happy Holidays' is a way to try and not offend people, it bloomin well does!!!!! I feel highly offended by this devaluation of our second most joyful celebration in the Christian calendar. It's Christmas and always will be. Fact. End. Nothing more to say. Rant over.
(and as a footnote, how would we ever begin to change all of the cheesy Christmas music that has been created over the years. 'It's HOLIDAY TIME' mistletoe and wine', 'WE wish you a HAPPY HOLIDAY and a happy new year'.)
In God's Love
Wishing you a Joyful Advent

My friendships. They have and will carry me through anything.
It's a day when every interaction I have, large or small, makes me walk away feeling a little bit better, as though some good was done. Perfect days happen frequently. Of course, a nice glass of wine to finish off doesn't hurt.
Short term: Continuing to educate women and men about the importance of good skin care and launching my own skin care line in the fall. Long term: Enjoy being witness to two beautiful daughters grow into themselves.
I'm very lucky to be surrounded by bright, curious, accomplished and giving women from all walks of life. My experiences have been as rich as someone who has traveled the world because of them. That said, there are two things I know: No experience is a bad one if you choose to learn from it, and (my favorite) when people show you who they are, believe them.

Publication: 4-22-14
Series: Heart of the Anemoi #4
Rating: 5 Cherries
Annalise Fallston made peace with postponing her big-city dreams to care for her ill father, but lately she's been filled with a restlessness not even her beloved painting dispels. Worse, the colors don't speak to her as they always have, and all her efforts produce dark, foreboding images of a dangerous man and a terrifying future.
Devlin Eston, black-souled son of the evil Anemoi Eurus, is the only one who can thwart his father's plan to overthrow the Supreme God of Wind and Storms. But first, Dev must master the unstable powers he's been given. Distrusted and shunned by his own divine family, he never expected to find kindness and passion in the arms of a mortal.
But Devlin's love puts Annalise in the path of a catastrophic storm, and in the final Armageddon showdown between the Anemoi and Eurus, sacrifices will be made, hearts broken, and lives changed forever…or lost.
I would say that Laura Kaye is one of my more favorite authors. I might, possibly, stalk her author page waiting for the release date to my all time favorite novella's sequel to pop up. Anyway back to this review, I loved the whole Hearts of the Anemoi series. It is fun, whimsical and just amazing. Each character has such a solid story and the world building is great but you don't have to read the whole series if you don't want to. Each story contains just enough hints from the other books to make them connect while being solid enough to still stand individually.
Devlin, Devlin, Devlin! MmmmmHmmmmm!!! Tall, dark, powerful, brooding, bad boy, future god of the east wind, need I say more. He is a man with a dark, tragic past that doesn't trust easily. Though when he finally does trust it is magical.
Annalisa Fallston- Completely color blind, talented artist, and a whole lot more than meets the eye.
She accidentally happens upon Devlin after he breaks into her art studio trying to find a safe place to hide. One thing leads to another over the course of the story and they start to have feelings for each other. These feelings are strong, volatile and tell a lot about each person. There is a battle being waged amongst the gods that is taking place in the human world that Devlin and Anna have to try and stop. Will they be successful? Will their new found love withstand the epic battle to come?
This is the final book in the Hearts of the Anemoi series and it is an amazing finally. I would say that you really need to do yourself a favor and read the whole series. If you don't have the time to immerse yourself in a whole series at least read this last book!

HWASEONG, South Korea — Genesis says its first compact sport sedan will catapult the fledgling luxury brand onto shopping lists by directly challenging German rivals on every level.
The newly minted G70, unveiled here last week, barges into a crowded segment fiercely defended by such venerable stalwarts as the BMW 3 series and Mercedes-Benz C class.
The car, which launches next year as a 2019 model, will be the first real test of whether the Hyundai Motor Group's spun-off luxury marque can build momentum behind a growing but still meager lineup.
Following the flagship G90 and midsize G80 sedans, the entry-level G70 model fleshes out the sedan portfolio and targets volume sales at a lower price point. It also foreshadows a new styling language.
Genesis has yet to introduce any crossovers, despite red-hot demand in that segment. But executives say it was more important to establish the new brand's performance chops through a sport sedan. The top-grade G70 gets a 3.3-liter turbocharged V-6 engine that generates around 365 hp and does 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds, before topping out at 167 mph.
"To get substance into your brand, you need to demonstrate the breadth of the band," global Genesis boss Manfred Fitzgerald said here at the Hyundai Motor Group's r&d center and proving ground near Seoul. "We still have a lack of awareness."
Getting noticed won't be easy.
Genesis was cleaved from the mass-market Hyundai brand in late 2015. Executives plan to expand the lineup to six nameplates by 2020. But to date, there are just three, including the G70. Genesis has no stand-alone showrooms, and U.S. volume this year is lower than Fiat's.
Available in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the G70 comes with either a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-banger or a 3.3-liter turbo V-6 for the U.S. market.
The G70's mission is to build street cred.
To that end, Genesis enlisted master tuner Albert Biermann to supervise its final stages. A former head of BMW's M performance unit, Biermann was lured away in 2015 to inject a touch of German automotive DNA into Hyundai Motor Group. He promises the G70 will rival the Germans on all fronts — vehicle dynamics, handling, noise, interior luxury and performance.
"The G70 3.3-liter can easily be there with those guys," the German engineer said. "I think we can be competitive in all those levels."
Work on the G70 began before Biermann arrived. But he jumped to work, infusing the car with attitude by fine-tuning the chassis, steering and shift patterns.
"We gave the car a soul," Biermann said.
The G70 also debuts several new Genesis design cues.
Among them is a new shield-shaped grille with a pointed bottom. Another is the G70's quad headlights, thin slivers of LEDs that meld into the main light.
Inside, the car eschews wood trim for brushed aluminum. Designers said wood will be reserved for the more upmarket G80, while the sportier G70 needed a more high-tech feel.
Quilted leather door panels and Nappa leather seats lend a premium aura. Meanwhile, an 8-inch touch screen display supports MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Audio.
"Our mission is to target the German 3," said Lee SangYup, vice president for Genesis design. "We want to aim at the German 3 with sophistication and a touch of luxury."

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common condition in elderly patients and may lead to progressive back and leg pain, muscular weakness, sensory disturbance, and-or problems with ambulation. Multiple studies suggest that surgical decompression is an effective therapy for patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis. Although traditional lumbar decompression is a time-honored procedure, minimally invasive procedures are now available which can achieve the goals of decompression with less bleeding, smaller incisions, and quicker patient recovery. This paper will review the technique of performing ipsilateral and bilateral decompressions using a tubular retractor system and microscope.

The Attack on Labor: Six Reasons Sustainability Activists Should Care
Advocates for sustainability, under assault from climate deniers and drill-baby-drillers, are struggling to protect the earth from global warming, desertification, extinction of plants and animals, and other looming threats. Why should they also be concerned about the escalating attack on America's labor unions?
According to a recent New York Times report, many governors and state legislatures are now seeking "far-reaching, structural changes that would weaken the bargaining power and political influence of unions, including private sector ones." While much of the attack is spearheaded by Republicans, many Democratic politicians are joining in the charge.
Here are some examples:
-- Legislators in ten states are planning to introduce legislation to prevent private sector unions from requiring members to pay dues or fees.
-- Sixteen state legislatures are considering laws to prevent unions from spending money on political activities unless it comes from individual members who have agreed to "opt in" for such expenditures.
-- According to the Columbus Dispatch, newly elected Ohio governor John Kasich is proposing to take away the right of state-financed child care and home care workers to unionize. He says of teachers, "If they want to strike, they should be fired." He wants the right to pay construction workers less than union pay scales on public contracts. And he even wants to ban binding arbitration for government employees. Former governor Ted Strickland points out that the state's workers, far from making extravagant demands, voluntarily agreed to forgo raises and take ten unpaid furlough days.
-- According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced he wants to "end collective bargaining for nearly all public employees." He also "updated emergency plans and alerted the National Guard just in case" they are needed to "ensure state services aren't interrupted." The Press Gazette headlined the article, "Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker says National Guard ready for any unrest over anti-union bill."
"In the long run, if these measures deprive unions of resources, it will cut them off at their knees. They'll melt away," said Charles E. Wilson, a law professor at Ohio State University. Sustainability activists may be tempted to say, well, why should we take time off from trying to avert global catastrophe to concern ourselves with what is happening to the unions? After all, aren't unions just concerned with the narrow interests of their members? Aren't they just about getting some folks a bit more of the pie? And haven't they opposed or stalled action on many issues important to sustainability? But before they come to that conclusion, sustainability advocates should consider:
1. Organized labor is the most powerful force for fighting conservative ideology. If unions "melt away," American politics will be totally dominated by a combination of corporate greed, right-wing media, and tea party extremism.
2. Despite occasional elements of discord, the alliance of labor, environmental, and sustainability movements has been crucial ever since the first Earth Day in supporting and passing environmental legislation. It will continue to be crucial in the future.
3. The right-wing strategy is to divide progressive groups that should be natural allies, and play them off against each other. For example, they are attempting to drive a wedge between private sector and public sector workers. Similarly, they constantly harp on the theory that environmental protection will destroy workers' jobs - while implying that workers have no interest in protecting the environment.
4. The most promising strategy for reviving popular support for sustainability policies is a program to create full employment by creating millions of green jobs protecting the climate and the environment. Organized labor has been a major supporter of green jobs. If unions "melt away," so will a major pillar of support for environmental policies that create jobs.
5. Unions are far more likely to support sustainability policies if in their hour of need they receive support from sustainability activists. The support of groups like the Sierra Club for right-to-organize legislation played a significant role in encouraging unions to support climate legislation, for example. It helped to persuade the Teamster's to reverse its position on Arctic drilling and pull out of the coalition that supports it.
6. Even when they differ on particular issues, unions are the most important allies of sustainability activists in the political arena. Unions recently spent more than $200 million to defeat candidates who are threatening to break the labor movement. In virtually all cases they are the very same candidates who are trying to gut environmental protection policies and who claim global warming is a myth. Even on the minimal basis of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sustainability activists should be try to keep organized labor from being "cut off at their knees."
The defense of the rights of workers to organize, bargain collectively, and take concerted action is taking place right now at every level from the White House, to state legislatures, to city councils. It is very much a struggle for the hearts and minds of citizens, workers, and community members. Which side the sustainability movement is on in that struggle will help determine how significant a role the labor movement will play in building a sustainable future.

It might shock you to hear that managing data has never been more difficult than it is today. Data is growing at the speed of light, while IT budgets are shrinking at a similar pace. All of this growth and change is forcing administrators to find more relevant ways to successfully manage and store data. This is no easy task, as there are many regulatory constraints with respect to data retention, and the business value of the data needs to be considered as well. Those within the IT world likely remember (with fondness) the hierarchical storage management systems (HSM), which have traditionally played a key role in the mainframe information lifecycle management (ILM). Though this was once a reliable and effective way to manage company data, gone are the days when businesses can put full confidence in such a method. The truth of the matter is that things have become much more complicated.
There is a growing need to collect information and data, and the bad news with this is that there is simply not enough money in the budget to handle the huge load. In fact, not only are budgets feeling the growth, but even current systems can't keep up with the vast pace of the increase in data and its value. It is estimated that global data center traffic will soon triple its numbers from 2013. You can imagine what a tremendous strain this quick growth poses to HSM and ILM. Administrators are left with loads of questions such as how long must data be kept, what data must be stored, what data is safe for deletion, and when it is safe to delete certain data. These questions are simply the tip of the iceberg when it comes to data management. Regulatory requirements, estimated costs, and the issues of backup, recovery and accessibility for critical data are areas of concern that also must be addressed with the changing atmosphere of tremendous data growth.
There is an alluring solution that has come on the scene that might make heads turn with respect to management of stored data. The idea of hybrid cloud storage is making administrators within the IT world and businesses alike think that there might actually be a way to manage this vast amount of data in a cost effective way. So, what would this hybrid cloud look like? Essentially, it would be a combination of capabilities found in both private and public cloud storage solutions. It would combine on-site company data with storage capabilities found on the public cloud. Why would this be a good solution? The reason is because companies are looking for a cost effective way to manage the massive influx of data. This hybrid cloud solution would offer just that. The best part is, users would only need to pay for what they use regarding their storage needs. The goods news is, the options are seemingly unlimited, increasing or decreasing as client needs shift over time. With a virtualized architecture in place, the variety of storage options are endless. Imagine what it would be like to no longer be worried about the provider or the type of storage you are managing. With the hybrid cloud storage system in place, these worries would go out the window. Think of it as commodity storage. Those within the business world understand that this type of storage has proven to work well within their spheres, ultimately offering a limitless capacity to meet all of their data storage needs. What could be better?
In this fast-paced, shifting world, it's high time relevant solutions come to the forefront that are effective for the growth and change so common in the world of technology today. Keep in mind that the vast influx of data could become a huge problem if solutions such as the hybrid cloud options are not considered. This combination of cloud storage is a great way to lower storage costs as the retention time increases, and the data value decreases. With this solution, policies are respected, flexibility is gained, and costs are cut. When it comes to managing data effectively over time, the hybrid cloud storage system is a solution that almost anyone could get behind!

Quote directly from Wikipedia:
The digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology, and those with very limited or no access at all. It includes the imbalance both in physical access to technology and the resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen. knowledge divide, both reflecting the access of various social groupings to information and knowledge, typically gender, income, race, and by location.
"Digital Divide" was first used to describe the gap, the difference in terms of accessibility to technology. I think it started off as a comparison between countries where technology - in terms of availability and accessibility to computing devices; and it's more often than not, between developed and developing countries.
Lots of effort have been put in to narrow the digital divide - philanthropic organisations and even technology companies to come up with solutions for countries that face issues like electricity so that children are not deprived from access to technology and the world wide web.
On the other hand, today, digital divide no longer just refers to the provision and accessibility of the devices or internet, it's looking at how technology is deployed and how it is used!
Indeed, I think we are now at a juncture - to widen or to narrow the "digital divide".
At least 2 things to look into, in terms of addressing to today's "digital divide" - How we use technology, in particular, our learners; and What devices are we using?
To remain ahead of the rest... I guess, one has no choice, but to create the "digital divide"...

In his theology classes, Golden Apple teacher at St. Mary's Ryken seeks to help students pursue truth
May 1, 2017
As a theology teacher at St. Mary's Ryken High School in Leonardtown, Kenneth Scheiber says his ultimate goal is for his students "to learn truth, the right way to understand our place in the universe and what is our place in history."
"I want my students to become conversant in how to talk about the universe, about life, about God, about creation and how to relate to that creation," said Scheiber, who has taught at the Southern Maryland school for eight years. "I want them to have an understanding of the faith and the greater truths of the universe."
Scheiber was recognized recently as one of 10 Archdiocese of Washington Catholic school teachers to be named as a Golden Apple Award winner. The annual award recognizes a teacher's professional excellence, leadership, commitment to Catholic values, and devotion to teaching.
The 10 Golden Apple Award winners were singled out from among the nearly 2,000 educators in the Archdiocese of Washington.
"I was very surprised," Scheiber said of his honor. "I knew that I was being considered, but I was surprised that I was actually a winner."
During his tenure at St. Mary's Ryken, Scheiber has also taught social studies and Spanish-language classes. There is not too much of a difference in those subjects, he said.
"They are united by the common pursuit of truth," he said. "We look at how God moves history – salvation history and broader history."
He added that in social studies classes, he helps his students learn "what are the right rules by which society should be governed, what make a just law, and what are the best ways human beings can govern themselves."
Scheiber said that "it would be difficult for me to teach anywhere other than a Catholic school."
"At a Catholic school, I can walk in and know the Blessed Sacrament is here and ultimately all the disciplines we study can tell us about God and our place in the universe and how we are meant to relate with God," he said.
He added that since there is "significant overlap" between the Catholic faith and the various subjects taught at the school, "it gives us a greater reason for why we study what we study."
"Anything that comes from God can tell us about God and help us relate to God," he said. "A Catholic education is not just about studying and getting a job. It is an education rooted in something much more. It fosters a greater sense of wonder of the universe. It teaches things that are true and can stand the test of time."
Father Scott Woods, chaplain of the school, said that, "Mr. Scheiber works tirelessly in his endeavor to teach our students about the faith, providing them with a solid catechesis in an interactive manner. He handles himself in the classroom in a reliable and [always] professional manner."
Scheiber said that "the Catholic Church has been doing education for more than a thousand years. All of the Catholic traditions and Catholic presuppositions of what education should be have a beneficial impact on the human person."
"The interesting thing about Catholic education is that when it's done well, there is a full immersion in the faith," he added. "The best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in all aspect of the culture and talk to native speakers. It is similar to Catholic school – being immersed in the faith gives a better understanding of the faith and the greater truths of the universe."
Scheiber and his fellow Golden Apple honorees will be recognized by Cardinal Donald Wuerl at a May 4 awards dinner in Washington. Each of the honored teachers will receive a golden apple, a certificate and a monetary award.
The Golden Apple Award was established in this archdiocese more than 10 years ago through the generous support of the Pittsburgh-based Donahue Family Foundation established by Jack and Rhodora Donahue, who sent their 13 children through Catholic schools and created the award to show appreciation for Catholic school teachers who provide a quality academic and faith-filled education to their students.

As the commemoration of the Battle of Waterloo comes to its climax I came across the quote of the Iron Duke
" All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do; that's what I called "guessing what was at the other side of the hill."
Sales Forecasting is an art even with help of Salesforce.com et al. You are often asked to commit to sales management your pipeline figures that focus on deadlines.
|Probables and Possibles
The following ten qualifying questions are useful in helping you predict when new business will likely to come in.
- What's the business priority – the reason the buyer will spend the money? What benefit is (s)he going to get out of it? and does it justify the price?
- Who will make the final decision to buy, and who from? Beware, almost every buyer claims to be the decision maker, but is this really true. In our house typically I'll decide whether we buy something, but my wife decides what we buy.
- How will the decision to buy be made – the decision process. Buyers rarely have only one option. How will they choose between the alternatives available?
- Have you agreed with your customer the buy/sell process – the way you'll work together to make sure you both get the best deal?
- Who're you competing with, and how to win against them? Can you repeat it?
- Do you have a "champion" – somebody on the inside who wants your offer, and will help persuade the other decision makers and tell you how to get the deal? .
- Has your prospect confirmed you're the preferred vendor, provided you can get the financial submissions right.
- Has your prospect agreed a delivery or start date and committed internal resources?
- Has your prospect agreed the contract terms and conditions?
- Has your prospect signed the contract?
Wishing you all good luck in guessing the business prospects behind your hills as the Iron Duke might have said.

Our aftermarket service capabilities include:
XCL-S Burner
Design features:
NOx removal efficiencies:
B&W Roll Wheel Pulverizers
Design features:
FPS oil horn igniters for corner-fired boiler applications.
Our in-depth knowledge in the field of ignition equipment has enabled us to implement significant design improvements and produce efficient, reliable igniters for either partial upgrades or complete replacement.
The oil horn igniter is designed to burn light oil providing up to 6 million Btu per hour heat input. An optional booster gun is available to provide an additional 14 million Btu per hour heat input. Adding the booster gun allows the igniter to be used for warm-up and load support as well as main fuel ignition.
All horn igniters use the SunSpot flame rod for flame detection and a self cleaning plasma arc ignition system (PAI) for spark ignition. A strong blow torch type flame ensures excellent main fuel ignition.
FPS oil horn igniters are designed to fit standard windbox arrangements. Custom designs are available for applications where the original burner structure has been modified. The horn igniters are supplied with a mounting/adapter plate and gasket to mount on the existing bolt arrangement, making igniter installation very simple. The igniter is designed to use existing windbox air, with an option available for an external combustion air system. The igniter can be mounted in existing horns or if required, new cast stainless steel horns with mounting hardware, are available to replace deteriorated or damaged horns. A local control cabinet/valve rack and an external air system are available if required.
Each oil horn igniter is supplied with the following environmentally sealed peripheral components:
Cooling Air Blowers
FPS designs and manufactures custom skid-mounted blower assemblies that supply clean combustion air for igniters and cooling air for flame scanners.
Skid-mounted combination starter assemblies for local or automatic control are available as an option. The duplex blower assembly is a commonly supplied arrangement; however, individual and triplex blower assemblies are also available. The duplex blower assembly consists of two 100-percent capacity fans, with switches and indicators to allow automatic switchover to the secondary fan if the primary fan is lost. All blower assemblies are pre-wired and factory-tested prior to shipment. Typically, blowers are supplied with isolation mechanisms such as manual butterfly valves and check valves, or with automatic butterfly valves. Typical blower specifications include:
FPS Wall-Fired Igniters: Dual Fuel
The advanced igniter design was developed to achieve superior flame ignition with lower opacity. The dual fuel igniter is designed to fire natural gas or propane and #2 fuel oil with air atomization.
The dual fuel igniter serves a dual purpose because of its wide heat-input range. It offers a virtually pollution-free method of boiler warm-up when operated at maximum heat release, and with proper controls, operates at an economically reduced heat input for main fuel light-off and ignition support. It is designed as a simple plug-in replacement with little or no modifications necessary to the rest of the burner.
The dual fuel igniter is available in two models. A smaller diameter version is supplied with interchangeable gas and oil internals such that a single fuel is available for firing. A larger diameter version allows the gas and oil internals to remain in place simultaneously and either fuel can be fired with the flip of a switch.
The following FPS igniter design features enhance performance by eliminating many of the difficulties associated with
conventional ignition hardware, thereby reducing maintenance costs:
FPS oil igniters are used in a variety of utility boiler applications; including front or opposed wall firing, turbo furnace, cell burners or low NOx burners.
A fuel, air and purge valve, manual isolation valve, strainer, PRV, fuel pressure indicators and a local control cabinet are available and custom fabricated to control one to four igniters.
FPS Controls: Fuel Regulation: Fuel Oil Valve Train
FPS designs and manufactures custom control cabinet/valve train assemblies to control and supply fuel oil and atomizing air to igniters.
Valve trains can be purchased as an integrated component of an igniter control system utilizing our line of custom fabricated valves or as a stand-alone entity constructed using customer-specified components. Working directly with each customer and approval boards (CSA, NFPA, etc.), we have the ability to fabricate a fully approved assembly engineered to provide many years of service.
A control cabinet with indicators and switches for local or remote operation is mounted on the valve train. The control cabinet can be supplied with or without a programmable logic controller (PLC). If a PLC is supplied, igniter controls logic is provided using proven igniter control schemes to ensure optimum igniter performance. The controls are customized to interface with existing burner controls; receiving start, stop, and permit signals from the BMS, and providing igniter status signals to the BMS.
Each valve train is pressure-tested and includes factory-installed instrument air lines to a bulkhead fitting, and wiring between the valve train components and the control cabinet. Field installation time is minimized since the rack-mounted systems are pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory-tested prior to shipment.
Control cabinet/valve rack features are:
Single Igniter Assemblies for Corner-Fired Applications
B&W/FPS designs and manufactures a compact igniter control cabinet/valve assembly especially designed for installations where it is preferable to have one control cabinet per igniter, as is traditional on corner-fired boilers. This assembly offers the same advantages as mentioned above.
The single igniter control cabinet/valve assembly features cabinet-mounted valves to supply fuel oil and atomizing air to the igniter being controlled by the cabinet.
