October 15, 2003
Market research firm Heavy Reading today published a 120-page report that analyzes whether the market's six leading equipment vendors have what it takes to deliver converged networking.
The report, entitled Setting a Course to Convergence, includes in-depth interviews with senior executives with Alcatel, Cisco Systems, Lucent, Marconi, Nortel and Siemens.
It supplements their views with feedback from executives at 50 of the world's leading service providers, who provide a sounding board for evaluating the strategies of the big vendors.
Author Geoff Bennett concludes that while IP/MPLS is the DNA of tomorrow's telecom, incumbents won't succeed unless they build or buy the technology — router partnerships and co-developments are a red herring,
The report also found that:
* Transport and packet networks will remain distinct layers for the coming decade. Vendors with product strategies that assume complete convergence will find sales to large carriers impossible;
* Vendors are split over ATM's role in the migration to converged networks. Nortel is ATM's biggest proponent – a strategy that looks increasingly prescient;
* Lucent is abandoning its own convergence products in favor of re-inventing itself as a service organization. It will fail;
* Packet voice transport is happening slowly, posing a challenge for Siemens, which has staked its future on carriers moving to Class 5 replacement now, and
* Cisco defined the convergence market and still leads it, but issues with ATM, OAM, reliability, and VoIP mean its position is not unassailable.
"While the telecommunications industry as a whole is still in turmoil, the overall direction in which it is now headed has become clear," says Bennett.
"Tomorrow's telecommunications networks will be multiservice networks networks that switch legacy and emerging services across a converged IP/MPLS layer running over a high-capacity optical infrastructure."'
The industry may agree on where it needs to go, he adds, but there is complete confusion over how best to get there.
Further information on the report, which retails for US$3,800, is available at www.heavyreading.com.

I like the Ice Rink better than the Soccer Pitch. But there is one thing that is really lame, THE SNOW AND SPORTS CATALOG! Why do they have the old catalog back? I think Club Penguin doesn't want Penguins to spend all their coins and it might affect the results for the Coins For Change.ReplyDelete
Hmmm, what do you guys think about the Old or New Snow And Sports Catalog?
I LOVE THE SOCCER PITCHReplyDelete

Employee Appreciation3:47 PM
Appreciate Your Employees
Event Kings
But one of the TOP ways to keep your employees happy with their position and productive is to show them a little appreciation. So we suggest an Employee Appreciation Day!
Our latest Event Trend that we have noticed is an Employee Appreciation Day. These things are popping up everywhere!
An Employee Appreciation Day can range from a Popcorn Machine & Cotton Candy Machine to a Full Out Picnic with Games, Rides, and a BBQ.
In the Summer months many companies hold a Company Picnic, and in the Winter many hold a Company Holiday Party. But what about the months in between? You should aim for at least one Fun Act of Appreciation a Quarter.
These smaller Appreciation Days are pretty cheap and can entertain a large amount of employees. Some of the Events we have done for this have included:
- A Strolling Magician
- Fresh Pretzel, Popcorn, Cotton Candy & Churros- served from an old fashion machine
- DJ with some Games like Giant Jenga
- Foosball, Ping Pong, and Air Hockey Tables
- Balloon Decor
Check Out More Ways to Show Appreciation-
Imagine how Happy you would make your employees if there was a Mr. Softee Truck parked outside the building- with Free Ice Cream for them!
Candy Bar Set Up - OR You could have our Attendants Stroll Around Handing It Out
Carnival Tents with Old Fashioned Games
These are some employees at a Corporate Company playing Giant Jenga together.
Ping Pong!
Photo Booth is always a good time- No explanation needed.
A Strolling Multi-Talented Performer
Employees that are Happy and Feel Appreciated are more likely to stay with their job for a long period of time.
This idea is feasible for Large Corporation or Small Businesses. We can tailor your Employee Appreciation Event to your Company's needs and wants.

It's funny, even after all these years and dozens of breakfast recipes on the blog, I still feel like I should start these posts talking about how I'm not really a breakfast person. Um, I think all those recipes for oatmeal and doughnuts and muffins and biscuits and scones speak louder than those words, eh?
So if I were to be more accurate, I guess I'm now a breakfast eater who really hates to prepare breakfast. Hot breakfast is the best, so it's best to make a lot at once and refrigerate or freeze the rest. And the last time I talked about that, my aunt offered to send along her recipe for breakfast burritos. It is AWESOME and detailed and someday, I promise I'll get around to making them and tell you about it.
But remember, I am terrible about actually making breakfast, and look to cut corners anywhere that I can. So rather than individually wrap each burrito, I decided to cover the whole shebang in sauce and cheese and boom, I'd just made breakfast enchiladas. Two batches, even! That's like two whole weeks of heat-and-eat savory breakfast with almost no effort. My favorite!
We start by scrambling some eggs. I used eight of them, whisked with half a cup of milk and salt and pepper to taste, and poured in a pan with three tablespoons of melted butter.
Then – and this is important – do not stir. Let the eggs cook for a minute on medium heat until they start to set. I would always try to stir them too soon, leading to tiny bits of rubbery cooked egg. If you wait, then stir only once or twice, you'll end up with delicious chunks of fluffy scrambled eggs!
I mean, the butter helps too. Not gonna lie.
Then you need to cook a pound of ground sausage – breakfast sausage, hot sausage, whatever you like. Mix that up with the cooked egg, a packet of taco seasoning (because lazy), and a can of rotel tomatoes with green chiles and jalapeno mixed in (because extra lazy).
You see where I'm going with this! Spread out your tortillas and spoon the filling onto each. I ended up with twelve, I think.
Roll 'em up and stick them in a greased pan.
Rather than make one huge pan of enchiladas, I divvied them up into two smaller dishes. Note that one was a disposable foil tray – perfect for storing up in the freezer! (I do this for regular enchiladas, too.)
I topped them with jarred, store-bought enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. And honestly, you can just leave them like that, stick them in the fridge, and microwave them one at a time. But I was in a mood the following morning, so I actually did put the whole pan in the oven to bake them after a night in the fridge:
Of course, it got refrigerated and re-heated in the end, because I couldn't eat the whole pan at once, Or rather, I didn't. I'm pretty sure I could. I'm a sucker for a big pan of melted cheese, I guess.
But here's the thing: I was worried about re-heating the eggs in the enchiladas, that they would turn rubbery and gross after being thawed and microwaved. But they absolutely did not. I don't know if it was my aunt's magical scrambled egg recipe or what, but the eggs were moist and fluffy even after reheating. Perfect for anyone like me, a wasn't-a-breakfast-person-who-now-wants-breakfast-but-never-wants-to-make-it person.
Plus these were so easy as-is, but just as easy to remix and modify. Perhaps the next time I'll stir in some pepper jack cheese into the filling? Or black beans? Or both along with some rice and then top it all with some avocado??! My goodness, yes.
One of these days I'll make those grab-and-go burritos, but for now, I'll just keep setting my alarm clock to get up before Baby P and enjoy my hot, quick breakfast and coffee solo. I hope you can do the same! Enjoy!

Innovative food and drink production
Receive CPI's latest news delivered to your inbox.Sign up to our Mailing List
The food and drink industry is the largest in the world, yet it faces challenges and opportunities of equally significant proportion; a rapidly expanding global population, increased wealth precipitating "Western" appetites in emerging economies, diminishing natural resources, as well as widespread obesity and famine. To address these issues the industry must become more efficient and deliver new solutions for production growth, whilst delivering increased nutrition from reduced foodstocks.
How can these challenges be addressed? Cross sector technological innovation provides the best opportunity to bridge the gap between current challenges and longer term opportunities. CPI can work collaboratively with food and drink sector companies to help them develop and commercialise innovative technologies. We work across a range of technology platforms which have the potential to impact upon ingredient formulation, how foods are made, global distribution, and the repurposing of waste streams into a more efficient manufacturing supply chain.
From smart packaging solutions to the development of biofuels from food waste, CPI provides organisations across all levels of the supply chain with world class open access facilities for the carrying out of proof of concept scale up activities, so that they can prove their new ideas are commercially viable before taking on financial risk.
Sensors for assessing performance and quality on production lines
Functional coatings and composite materials for food manufacturing
Agile manufacturing improves batch processes
Food packaging that communicates freshness and ripeness
Sustainable bio-plastic based packaging derived from food waste streams
Increase transparency with supply chain tracking using big data
Increase quality assurance and traceability with printed sensors
Sustainable biofuels can reduce carbon footprint
Re-use consumer waste streams in manufacturing process

Teaching Magazine Production
Ideas of how and what to research in order to create authentic and interesting magazine design, specifically looking at page furniture often ignored (slugs, boxouts, captions, strap lines), how to create an effective contents page through inventive flatplanning, the importance of using grids for layout and what influences to use and to be influenced by.

Teaching Contemporary Media Issues: Some Classroom Approaches
Keeping ahead of contemporary media issues - from within the last 5 years - and bringing them to life in the classroom can be tricky. The accelerating pace of change in media, technology and culture combine to outdate our teaching before the dust has settled on our schemes of work.
In this workshop we will share resources and approaches for staying 'one step ahead' and consider pedagogic strategies for 'doing issues' and making theory practical.
Contemporary issues and specific case studies will cover media & democracy, mediation & identity, regulation and digital media culture, as well as those that participants can share from their own practice.

Evaluations: Media Knowledge and ICT Ability In Partnership
The aim of this workshop is to provide you with a practical guide to approaching evaluation questions for both portfolios. In order to be highly successful in the evaluation element of the portfolios, candidates need to demonstrate detailed knowledge and understanding of media language, representations, institutions and audiences but also need to present this knowledge using excellent ICT skills. This workshop will aim to clarify the expected outcomes for the questions (across the two portfolios), include a short standardisation activity to demonstrate the levels of expectation and give delegates the opportunity to get hands-on with an online evaluation activity that my own students use.
Photography workshop
This workshop is aimed at helping teachers develop practical photography skills for use in G321 and G324 units where candidates need quality images when they undertake tasks such as designing magazine pages, posters or newspapers. The session will offer tips in how to set up shots to the best possible advantage, how to take the shot, and how each shot might be manipulated or enhanced for the final product. Light is the key component of every photograph. The session will consider how to use the best available light, and offer some ideas in enhancing or adding to the light artificially. It will be aimed at beginners, with little or no expertise in photography.
Clive Edwards,
Active approaches to Audiences and Institutions: Teaching about the Film and Music Industries
Teachers often end up doing all the work for the students on this section of the AS exam paper, researching everything they can about the media area they are covering, producing immaculate and lengthy powerpoints, reams of photocopied notes and handouts, blog and twitter links. Then the students go into the exam and often don't really know what they are talking about. Mary and Rebecca decided to be brave this year and to shift the emphasis onto the students doing most of the work and the teachers posing difficult questions to help draw out what was learnt. This workshop will take you through what they did and how it turned out, encouraging you to do something similar!
Approaches to Teaching Textual Analysis: How to Analyse like Sherlock Holmes
This session will introduce you to teaching and learning activities designed to teach your students how to critically 'see'. Often textual analysis teaching focuses on media language and technical aspects that are then applied to clips to make meaning. This session will question this approach and flip the process around by teaching students the visual skills necessary to perform critical textual analysis which can be followed and reinforced by technical aspects as evidence. The session will use the example of the deduction skills of 'Sherlock Holmes' as an excellent analyst and someone to aspire to in our own investigations. Often media students come to the subject already with a lot of experience of watching TV; this session will look at how to get our students to 'watch' critically – like a textual analysis detective. These skills, once learnt, can then be developed to use media terminology and technical aspects as evidence for their detective work in critiquing representations in moving image media. The session will examine a number of classroom activities that teach students how to critically 'see' including detective style games, body language analysis and using QR codes to enhance delivery.

The PhD in Economics is a three-year program offered by the Department of Economics and Statistics (DISES) of the University of Naples Federico II. The program aims to produce high-quality researchers with strong analytical skills and international exposure. Students are trained for positions in academia as well as in governments, research organizations, public institutions, central banks, financial institutions and business enterprises. The program combines a common set of core courses (including courses in mathematics, statistics, microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics) and elective courses, seminars and dissertation work. The diversity of research areas covered by the Faculty of DISES allows students to structure their coursework and write their doctoral dissertation in several different areas of economics. The program also benefits from a close collaboration with the Center for Studies in Economics and Finance (CSEF), which offers a wide range of research and academic activities and attracts every year leading international researchers in economics and finance.
The PhD program cooperates with several national and international institutions. The purpose of the agreements is to promote and support research cooperation and to facilitate students' mobility. The program has ongoing research collaborations with international leading universities and research institutions. Among them, the Center for Financial Studies, Goethe-Universitat, Frankfurt; the Department of Economics, Science Po, Paris; the School of Social Sciences, University of Manchester; the Cass Business School, London; the Stockholm School of Economics; the Maison des Sciences Économiques, Universitè di Paris I – Sorbonne; the Research Group in Economic Analysis, Vigo University; the Tilburg School of Economics and Management, Tilburg University.
A new agreement has been finalized as associated partner of the EDEEM Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate programme, a higher education cooperation and mobility programme funded by the European Commission. EDEEM is a doctoral program in economics whose partners are: University of Amsterdam (The Netherland), Universität Bielefeld (Germany), Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (France), Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal), Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgique), Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (France), Università Ca' Foscari Venezia (Italy). In particular, as associated partner, our department is expected to contribute to the objectives of the EDEEM Programme sending its home students to study in the EDEEM Doctorate within an Erasmus-type exchange programme (with no double degree but recognition of the credits).
The selection of students is based on the assessment of the students' background, research potential and an interview.
Admission takes into account excellence in previous Master Programs (the Italian Laurea Magistrale or equivalent foreign degree). Successful candidates do not necessarily hold a degree in Economics. Applications by students with a different background such as political sciences, social sciences, mathematics, engineering, physics, statistics etc are strongly encouraged.
Candidates are expected to show a strong interest in Economics, basic knowledge of microeconomics, macroeconomics, calculus and statistics. They should be fluent in written and spoken English and supported by strong recommendation letters. Although language certifications are not required, they will be considered by the admission committee together with other credentials. Candidates who will obtain their Master degree by the end of October may also apply.
Expression of interest
Each year the official call is available in July, but interested candidates are invited to submit an informal expression of interest to email@example.com, enclosing:
- a Curriculum Vitae (mentioning if a Master degree is expected before October);
- at least one letter of reference;
- a one-page research statement, falling within one of the research fields listed below;
- any other documents (such as research papers, Master dissertation, GRE, TOEFL) that may help to assess the candidate's qualifications.
Formal application
The expression of interest is not the formal application. Candidates must send a formal application (enclosing all required documents) after the official call opens.
Promising candidates who have expressed interest for the PhD program, will be notified by the coordinator when the official call opens. The formal application has to be sent in due time with all documents indicated in the official call (including the CV) and represents the only way for being considered by the admission committee.
For more information on the formal admission procedure please click here.
Up to five students are admitted to the program each year. One position is reserved for non-Italian students (students who are not resident in Italy and graduated abroad). Scholarships of approximately 12.300 euro each year (net of taxes) are available for 5 students. The duration of each scholarship is 3 years, subject to performance. The monthly allowance can be increased up to 50% for students visiting a research institution or University abroad. Starting in the second year, there are also allowances for short-period mobility.
Research fields
- Financial Economics: Actuarial Mathematics, Asset Pricing, Banking and Financial Services, Behavioural Finance, Corporate Finance, Corporate Governance, Credit management, Financial Accounting, Financial Econometrics, Microstructure of Financial Markets, Risk Assessment
- Macroeconomics: Macroeconomic policy, Monetary policy, Fiscal policy, Forecasting and business cycles analysis, Institutional and Development Economics, International Economics

Program Requirements
Organization of the PhD program
The PhD in Economics is a three-year program. All PhD courses are taught in English. The final dissertation can be written in English or Italian. By the end of each year, students must report on their activities (courses, research) and present their work during a public seminar. On the basis of this report, the Faculty admits the student to the second and third years and, in the third year, to the final examination. During the three years, all students must take courses for credit, and pass the corresponding exams according to the general schedule presented below. The total number of credits is 180 over the three years.
Please consult the section Courses for details on courses offered.
First year (60 Credits): in the first year students are required to:
- take CORE COURSES (50 ECTS)
- participate in the seminars and workshop organized by DISES and CSEF (3ECTS);
- prepare a brief outline of a PhD proposal (7 ECTS).
By the end of the first year, students define their research plan for the final dissertation and choose a research supervisor with the help of the PhD Director. From here on, they work in close contact with their supervisor on the PhD proposal.
Second year (60 ECTS): in the second year students are required to:
- take further CORE COURSES (15 ECTS);
- choose ELECTIVE COURSES in two fields (18 ECTS);
- participate in the seminars and workshops organized by DISES and CSEF (3 ECTS);
- prepare a detailed PhD proposal (24 ECTS).
Students may spend all or part of the second year abroad, attending elective courses relevant to their research. By the end of the second year, students must present their research proposal in a seminar, open to students and Faculty members. A good seminar and a positive evaluation of the research progress is a necessary condition for admission to the third year.
Third year (60 ECTS): during the third year students are required to:
- actively participate in the seminars and workshops organized by DISES and CSEF (8 ECTS);
- complete their dissertation (52 ECTS).
Admission to the final Thesis Defense is conditional on a positive assessment of the entire dissertation by the supervisor and the PhD Faculty.
Final examination: the final examination involves a Committee of internal and external professors, proposed by the Faculty and appointed by the Rector of the University, according to the criteria required by the Doctor Europaeus certificate. The final dissertation consists of at least two essays, formatted as scientific papers of sufficient quality and originality for potential publication in reputable international refereed journals. It may also contain suitable material for a research monograph of sufficient quality and originality for potential international diffusion.
International experience and teaching duties
During the PhD program, every student must have at least one direct international experience, including visits for research purposes in non-Italian research institutions (at least three months are required to obtain the Doctor Europaeus certificate), attending an international school or an international conference, and presenting research results in international seminars and conferences. During the program, students are expected to collaborate with the Faculty working as teaching assistants for a maximum of 40 hours. The PhD director discusses with the student and with the Faculty committee whether his/her teaching activities are compatible with the doctoral program.
In the first two years of the PhD Program, students are required to take Core and Elective Courses.
Core Courses (36/42 hours),:
- courses in Microeconomics, Mathematical Economics, Macroeconomics, Financial Economics, Econometrics offered to PhD students as well as to Master students;
- courses specifically offered for the PhD program (and attended only by PhD students).
Elective courses (10/18 hours),:
- "topic courses" attended by PhD students as well as Master students, offering a structured view of the literature and its development in a specific field;
- "advanced topic courses" offered only to PhD students, in order to help them during the path that leads to the frontier of research in specific fields of economics. .
A non-exhaustive list of fields in which elective courses are offered is: Banking and Finance, Economic History, Economic Theory, Labour Economics.
Students with postgraduate qualifications equivalent to a Master's degree (in particular students holding the Master in Economics and Finance) may be admitted directly to the advanced course program, subject to approval by the PhD Director.

Give Employees Any of These 8 Things to Show You Care
Many employers try to be creative in the ways they show their appreciation to their employees. Many will give the traditional cash bonus to certain employees who exceed monthly goals, or they will give a company-wide year-end bonus to all of the employees. The problem is that cash bonuses don't necessarily express an employer's appreciation for what the employees do for their business. Thankfully for employers, they do not have to spend a lot of money to show how much they appreciate their employees.
Be Open and Listen to the Employees
Employers should spend some time getting to know their employees because this makes the employees feel like they are important. They should talk one-on-one with the employees and let them know what is going on with the company and where the company is headed. If the employer trusts the employee, they may want to divulge some company secrets to the employee that may help them in advancing their career. The employer should ask their employees about their goals in life and where they see themselves in five or ten years from now.
Give Compliments
Giving an employee a compliment can go a long way in showing your appreciation of their work, but employers have to be specific about what they are complimenting them on. Congratulate the employee for a particular job or task that they successfully performed or hold periodic award ceremonies where employees are recognized for their good work. Another thing an employer can do is to provide a good reference letter to an employee who is leaving the company. This can show how valuable the former employee was to the company and gives a good impression about them to the new employer.
Provide Food
People love to eat and one of the ways employers can show their appreciation is to provide food. Boxes of donuts always works, but they should go out of their way to do something special like occasionally have catered lunches or give out gift certificates to nice restaurants. Employers should always celebrate birthdays with cake and other types of food as birthdays are important to many people.
Trust Your Employees
Employers should trust their employees to make the right decisions and give them flexibility in solving problems. People like to be treated as adults and do not like to be micro-managed. Being micro-managed makes people feel like they are incapable of doing the job right. If the employer cannot trust an employee to do the job right then the employer should retrain that employee or have someone else do the job.
Keep the Door Open
This goes back to getting to know the employees on a personal level. Employers should know the names of as many employees as they can remember, including their nicknames, plus they should know something about their families. They should listen to the recommendations the employees have on trying to improve things within the company, and the employer should solve problems directly instead of always resorting to what company policy says.
Look for Opportunities to Appreciate the Employees
Employees are under a lot of stress to meet quotas and deadlines, so employers should reward them with something relaxing. Casual dress Fridays is a common practice but an employer should show some creativity in this area. Renting massage chairs for the office, hiring a house cleaning service to clean the home of an employee of the month, paying for a car detailing service to clean employees' cars in the parking lot and allowing some employees to work part time from home are some of the ways employers can provide a relaxing environment for their employees and show their appreciation.
Never forget to acknowledge your employees contribution to your business during the holiday season. Whatever it takes, deliver business holiday cards, work anniversary cards or corporate holiday cards to each staff member on time. It will go a long way to making them feel like a valued part of your team.
Look for Outside Feedback
What are customers and the competition saying about the company? This is important for an employer to know because these comments may be a reflection on how they treat the employees. Employers should focus on providing a positive work environment that makes employees happy to go to work for them every day.
Be Thankful
Productivity tends to go up when employees feel appreciated by their employer, and they do not have to spend a lot of money to show their appreciation. A simple thank you for a specific job done well is usually enough for an employee to feel good about what they have accomplished. Most of all, employers should show respect for their employees regardless of their personal feelings towards the employees.

|Hello. I have this Dominion box fan. I am told it is as least from the 1960s or so. It does not work but I think the wiring needs to be replaced or the switch. Electricians I call do not want to even look or assess it. I guess it's a lost art abd they tell me the parts are probably not available. I am resorting to researching this on my own to learn and fix. I searched this forum but can not find specifics to this type of motor or wiring. If anyone can give advice I am appreciative. It was my family's fan, not a flea market fan. It has sentimental value and I hope I can repair it for my own use. I emailed a few fan restorers too but they are not located in my home state.
Any help will be appreciated.

|a simple handy neighbor could check it for you. testing the cord comes first, second does the blade spin by hand? if not it might be bound up and need oil. They are very good fans and worth fixing. You dont need a traditional electrician, just someone handy with tools and some mechanical common sense

|Where are you located? Sounds like it might just be the cord, a loose wire, bad switch, or tight bushings from lack of oil. A lot of times its just a simple fix. Is there anyone around you that repairs things, such as small appliances or even does work on their vehicles? Like Tom said a handyman may be able to fix this up. I'd be more than willing to look at it for you but shipping would be cost prohibitive.

THREE men were hurt in a spectacular crash on a moorland road.
The men - in their 20s and from Oldham - needed hospital treatment after their Nissan Micra was in collision with a Transit van on the Greenfield Road above Holmfirth at 7.20am yesterday.
It is believed the van rolled over the bonnet of their car, before ending up on its side.
The van driver then left the scene and contacted police later.
He was due to be interviewed by officers today.
The driver of the Nissan broke his right arm and the front seat passenger suffered a cut forehead.
The back seat passenger has a broken foot and bruised ribs.
All three were taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
Police today appealed for anyone who saw the crash - or the vehicles before the accident - to contact them.
Both the van and the car are white.
The van was very distinctive and had the letters CML painted on the side and back.

Accessories for the 7th Annual Jane Austen Festival
The 7th annual Jane Austen Festival of Louisville, KY is about to begin...only two more days! I'm a little overly excited this year because the weather promises to be more forgiving. I do hope many of you will be able to join in on the fun. If you see me there, feel free to say hello.
To finish off my outfit for the festival, I decided to post my accessories. Some items are new, others are old. Nothing is actually from the Regency era, of course, but rather is replicated in the style of Regency accessories.
I purchased the earrings about 12 years ago in Italy near Pompeii. They are fashioned after the jewelry that the women of Pompeii were wearing at the time. The snake/dragon skin gold bracelet was my grandmothers. It's from the early 1960's. The gold and pearl bracelet is either from Thailand or India, I can't remember, but it is modern.
I made both of these coral beaded pieces. The one with the cameo is a necklace, and the other will be worn across my forehead and pinned into my hair.
This will be my belt. I tacked these two 1920's shoe buckles onto the ends of a ribbon, and wired them together in a way that allows them to stay together in the center like a belt buckle.
I've just recently finished embroidering and sewing together these linen mitts. I already have a pair of white mitts, but I wanted a pop of color with my white dress.
You've already seen my reticule, but with Sabine's help, I was able to refashion it with longer silk tassels, a silk teal ribbon, and I've stiffened the bottom of it with a bit of cardboard. I didn't have time to properly finish off the tops of the tassels like I wanted to, but it will pass for now. I'll go back later and finish it off.
Finally, Jane's doll has been given a wardrobe extension. In addition to her salmon colored gown and white cap, she now has a new blue frock, and a straw capote bonnet.
Speaking of Jane...I haven't given you an update on her in quite a while. She's growing like a weed, and will be going into the second grade this August. Can you believe it?! She recently spent a week at Summer camp. It was her first time away from home/family for that long of a time period. She came home dirty, smelly, and with a head full of tangled hair...but she had an absolutely fabulous time there.
I hope your Summer is as good as ours has been.
See you at the Jane Austen Festival!

No owner whose driver failed to reach the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup™ has ever qualified for postseason riches.
The 2013 season could prove to be the exception to the rule – and in a most unexpected manner.
Heading into Bristol's IRWIN Tools Night race, it's business as usual. Kasey Kahne and the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet team and Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 56 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota team hold the provisional Wild Cards.
Both could make the Chase as top-10 finishers in the regular season. Kahne and Truex are four and 10 points, respectively, behind 10th-place Greg Biffle.
Should they advance, the door would open for two teams which have undergone massive changes in the past few days. The No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet stands third in owner Wild Card standings having scored the same number of points – 653 – as the No. 56 team.
Three-time champion Tony Stewart is finished for the season as he recuperates from a broken leg suffered earlier this month in an Iowa sprint car accident. His replacement for 12 of the remaining 13 races is Mark Martin who, teamed with Michael Waltrip and Brian Vickers, has given the No. 55 MWR Toyota a shot at a Chase owner Wild Card.
The No. 55 is sixth in owner Wild Card standings on the strength of now-regular driver Vickers' victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The irony is that Martin will battle to keep his new team ahead of his old organization, as well as the No. 22 Penske Racing Ford of Joey Logano and No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet of Ryan Newman.
Make sense?
It's just another reason why the Race for the Chase truly won't be over until the checkered flag falls on Sept. 7 in Richmond.

Two wind models were developed and their results were compared with data gathered during the Wangara experiment, so as to characterize their uncertainty. One of the models was adopted to generate the wind fields used as input to a second generation wave model. The relative error in the wind speed was considered in order to assess the uncertainties of the predictions or the significant wave height. Different time steps for the wind input were also used to determine their effect on the predicted significant wave height.

Have I mentioned how much I adore frozen yoghurt popsicles? They're my favourite go-to healthy snack, and yet they feel so indulgent. It's like eating ice cream without the guilt.
One of my absolute favourite recipes is my own Strawberry & Nutella Waffle creation. It includes everything you'd put on a waffle, only in popsicle form. They're so much fun to eat and are perfect for satisfying any chocolate and/or sweet cravings.
6-8 strawberries
2 cups yoghurt (full-fat or 2%)
Maple Syrup
What you'll need:
Mixing bowl
Popsicle molds
What you do:
1. Thoroughly wash your strawberries and chop them into very small pieces.
2. Mix about 2 cups of yoghurt with as much Nutella as you wish. While you do this, you can be toasting your waffles.
3. When your waffles are ready, cut them into small pieces and mix them with the strawberries, yoghurt and Nutella drizzling as much maple syrup as you like over the mixture. You can also use honey.
4. Once the mixture obtains a nice consistent colour fill your popsicle molds and pop them in the freezer for about 4 hours.
Voila! The beauty of this recipe is that you can add as much or as little of each ingredient as you like. And just think of all the magical combinations you can make!
Photos edited using the Mara Lightroom preset from A Beautiful Mess.
Do you have any wonderful popsicle recipes to share?

This is not a happy book. Then again, what book about the Holocaust is a happy book? Granted, this one has a happy ending — it's a story based on the life of the author's aunt, and she survived — but getting there is harsh, depressing, and painful. Which means that Roy did an incredible job depicting the life and circumstances of her aunt Syvia's childhood.
I'm trying to figure out a way to sum up the book without giving a mini-history lesson. For those who don't know their World War II history, this story of one of the 800 survivors — only 12 of which were children — of the Lodz, Poland ghetto is not a fun one to read. Written in verse, I think to mimic the spare conditions of Syvia's life, Roy captures the faith and family togetherness in the face of pure hopelessness quite well. There were parts that made me cringe — the Nazis deported all the children at one point, tearing them from their family; it was only through the courage and resorcefulness of Syvia's father (and herself) that she managed to survive that time — and others that made me cry. I am amazed at Syvia, and at the luck — miracles? providence? chance? — that she had during her life. There were so many (more than 270,000 people lived in the ghetto at one time) that didn't get her chance.
I'm not sure I can separate a critique of the book (can I say that in this instance I felt the verse was good, but unnecessary?) from the life. It's a good book — not a great one — with a worthy story. And a story worth reading. Which makes the book worth reading, too.

Genuine Mahogany has been exploited and over-logged throughout history. Fortunately, the Government of Fiji has recognized that this approach will mean the end of this beautiful species. The government monitors and vigilantly protects its mahogany forests to ensure that they are sustainable for future generations.
Strict government controls ensure that there are standards in place for harvesting, reforestation and workplace safety. These protective measures not only protect the mahogany forests but also create opportunities that are sustainable and provide much-needed employment for the locals of Fiji. All licences and leases are scrutinized before being granted. The government conducts extensive audits and inspections to ensure all wood meets standards and are obtained legally. Violators will face heavy penalties and can even have their licences revoked.
Green World Lumber is a proud provider of Mahogany sourced from these protected forests in Fiji. When you buy Green World Lumber's Genuine Mahogany you are forging an alliance with nature for future generations.

Journals stand for everyday diaries and escapes from reality.
No rules, no expectations...
Check out Tusia's fabulous journal spread. It will inspire you to make your own!
I love freedom. In my private life I struggle with limitations and I try to find the balance between my personal freedom and all duties. Usually I end up with a couple of moments only during each week, that are really for me - the rest of the time I can only imagine myself being free :) But - freedom is a state of mind - isn't it? :)
So I turn on the music and let my imagination take me anywhere it wants to :) I have created this art-journal spread using 7 Dots Studio Verano Azul collection as background and adding drawings, gesso, spraying, stamping.
I have used also some stickers.
For stamping I used StazOn Jet Black and Finnabair stamps. Drawings were made with my favourite black pens - Artist Pitt Pens and favourite white marker - Sharpie. Flowers were made with washi, acrylic paints and gesso. I applied gesso and mist through TCW stencils.
Finishing touches were drawing and doodling with white and black pens and pencil.

okay, the movie was great. i loved the costumes and the overall complete awkwardness of the main character. (and the kid that looked like a boy barbie doll) it is really strange how fast the world around us has changed. think about it, the civil war was just 145 years ago. as people we really are always looking towards the future.
also, on another note, do you hear that clock ticking through out the trailer?
well, a couple weeks ago at a brocante, i begged my husband to buy me this clock. isn't it lovely next to that baby lamp (7.5" tall!). well it ticks. loudly.

Test Lab Facilities
Test Lab: AAU Microgrid IoT Laboratory
The AAU IoT home laboratory is located in Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark. It will be used as a demonstration of a home microgrid with smart devices for residential applications.
The Energy Management System (EMS) in addition with the smart devices will allow the user to have full-access to the system´s information, and also provides the user the option to remotely control the system. Smart devices will work and provide valuable information to the EMS as described, to manage efficiently the home microgrid. It is expected that the energy management system together with the smart products will enhance the overall system performance and users experience, reaching new levels of flexibility, controllability, comfort and efficiency.
Ongoing activities
2 kW PV panels and a 2 kW wind turbine are installed on the roof of IoT home laboratory. Electronic appliances (laptops, cellphones, LED lights, home entertainment systems and white goods) are already placed in the living area and kitchen area of the home lab.
Test Lab: ATOS IoT Laboratory
The lab addresses technological contributions in the scope of IoT components, connectivity, platforms and services integration, fostering the usage of open and standard technologies, while also ensuring wider adoption and implementation of the IoT paradigm. The lab is moreover composed by a multidisciplinary technological team targeting embedded systems, sensorized devices, open web technologies and the application of best-practices, agile developments and continuous integration through a self-designed platform and integration services.
Ongoing activities:
ATOS lab could provide a heterogeneous cluster of different ARM platforms managed through an infrastructure and software management system; enabling developers to implement and test easily and simulating production environments
Test Lab: UNIKL Test Laboratory
In order to validate the correct behaviour of the VICINITY in the early development phases, that is before actual deployment in the field, a model-based development process is reasonable. With the Test Lab at University of Kaiserslautern (UNIKL), this will be met to an extent, that "virtual" devices are connected to the VICINITY Server. That way real use-cases can be simulated, analysed and the correct behaviour can be validated before deployment. An overview of the overall structure of the virtual Environment is shown in below figure.
A network Simulator is directly connected to the VICINITY-Server on one side, and to a variety of real and simulated devices on the other side. The devices themselves are communicating via different Network Gateways. They can be pure virtual devices/gateways (marked in red) or real existing ones. Both are integrated seamlessly into the VICINITY, enabling the simulation and evaluation of any possible IoT Scenario. Performance, scalability and runtime behaviour will be evaluated with the ultimate goal of simulating a "virtual Oslo" (see Use case – Intelligent Building System).
Ongoing activities:
Not all devices in the IoT are directly connected to the Internet. For those devices, an IoT Gateway is necessary to establish the connection between devices and the VICINITY (or any Cloud) Server.
Currently UNIKL is evaluating existing hardware- and software platforms for IoT Gateways. A full list of considered platforms is shown in Project deliverable D2.1.
Furthermore, an IoT Developer Survey from April 2016 by The Eclipse IoT Working Group, IEEE IoT and AGILE IoT showed, that the most dominant messaging protocols in existing IoT deployments are HTTP (REST) and MQTT. These will be analysed in terms of scalability and performance in order to evaluate their value and possible use for the VICINITY.
Test Lab: CERTH IoT Laboratory
CERTH Test laboratory comprises the Institute's main offices and a dedicated experimental Smart House. Both buildings are equipped with numerous IoT sensors and automation infrastructure to facilitate the experimentation and test operation of the VICINITY framework at the early stages of its development. In particular:
- The offices building comprises of offices where CERTH personnel work and interact during their every-day operations. Most areas are fully equipped with IoT oriented devices and sensors allowing real-time monitoring of environmental, energy and consumption related information, further allowing interaction and control at device level. This building will be the primary test bed infrastructure for the VICINITY platform, allowing valuable information to be extracted during implementation and integration phase, rendering the evaluation and validation processes feasible and more close to real case scenarios.
- The Smart House is a real house simulation building where occupants can experience actual living scenarios, equipped with a vast variety of sensors, actuators and smart devices and intelligent robots, being capable to provide an useful test bed for the experimentation of all foreseen use case scenarios of the VICINITY framework.
Ongoing activities:
Different IoT sensors and infrastructures have already been promoted for integration in the Smart House, in particular for the eHealth use case, to be demonstrated in real housed of municipal citizens of the nearby Municipality of Pilea-Hortiatis in Greece.

I got this cool wooden train toy advent calendar for the Kiddo from Lidl. Lidl has the best stuff for cheap. They are very good quality too.
I scored a huge box of Brio toy train set parts over the summer from a thrift store and these should be compatible with them. We opened the first one today and I mean the Kiddo just turned one and I was definitely the more exited, but she seemed to get the idea. At least, once I'd opened the flap for her and she could see the toy. Which I promptl took away from her, it was kind of small... Hah!
I haven't had an advent calendar for years, but for the kiddo I had to get one. I'm really looking forward to making some other traditions for us. And yes, I mean making traditions as we have pretty much none.
So far I have (not in order):
- having an advent calendar
- decorating the tree
- and getting one or two new ornaments each year
- and collecting a new one for the Kiddo too
- making paper snowflakes for the windows
- making a gingerbread house
- having rice porridge (more like a pudding) for breakfast on Christmas Eve
- visiting the graveyard on Christmas Eve (makes sense if you are Finnish)
- celebrating the Independence Day
- new pajamas for Christmas
- a family puzzle for Christmas (once she is older)
I'm sure i'll come up with other ideas. But I really like the idea of doing things rather than Christmas just being about stuffing yourself and getting a pile of junk, I mean, gifts.
Speaking of gifts, not sure what to do about them yet. I don't want to get her an overwhelming amount. We'll have to see.

Backstage: We looked, no new iPods @ Apple Store
No go. We've checked with Apple Store retail locations across the United States, and even though Apple is claiming that the new fourth-generation iPods are available today, there's no trace of them anywhere in stores. The first two stores we contacted did not volunteer an official availability date, while others in Chicago and New York City indicated that the new iPods would be available "in about a week." Three of the locations noted that Apple's online store is taking "pre-orders" for the device, which is claimed online to be on "1-2 business days" availability, with orders already being confirmed as in process.
The attached photo depicts a seriously bummed out Dennis drowning his sorrows in an ice cold Frappuccino (left), with Jeremy's favorite Super Caramel Frappuccino to the right, after we visited a Southern California area Apple Store to confirm the news.

In the past, how long has it taken Apple resellers, e.g. Best Buy to get the iPods?
Posted by freshmargs on July 19, 2004 at 5:12 PM (CDT)
Give Best Buy an extra 5-7 days to get their first shipment in stock, and possibly 2 days from date of arrival to tell people they have them. (They sometimes hide new shipments of items such as digital cameras in order to deplete older inventory that's on the floor.)

Last wenseday I put in an order for a G3 IPod. I knew the new version was coming soon but I couldnt wait :(
Well to my suprise, Apple emailed me today stating they have upgraded my order (which was to ship on the 19th) to the new G4. They also added to my order a FREE Case and Remote because my previous order (The 40GB G3) came with those assories. The sad news is that this pushed the shipping date back until the 21st, to which I response by calling apple and upgrade my shipping to over night :) Hopefully I'll have the G4 by thursday or Friday! YippIE!
Anyways, the point of this post was to say that the Apple store should be shipping out G4 IPods by the 21st but that they have upgrade orders that were current on the 19th to the new version and put them in the front of the line.
Proud new (waiting) owner of a G4,

My family bought my 3G iPod on Father's day, and I have a possible 30-day return on it. I was seriously tempted to return it to get a 4G, but as tempting as getting $100 back is, I wouldn't be able to explain to my daughters why 4 buttons have suddenly gone missing from my iPod. =) If only I had known this was coming, I would have had them wait. However, this does make giving my wife her own iPod for her birthday a much stronger possibility.

InspiredInteractions needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 108 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Think Like a User
I am a usability professional and this is my company blog.
I specialise in helping companies fix the concept behind their website by making it more customer focused and intuitive to use.
I have taken an informal corporate tone on my blog
Small to medium sized businesses who want to communicate more effectively online with their prospects and customers.
People who want to improve the user experience of the website (although they won't use the word "user experience")
People who know their website sucks, but aren't too sure why or what to do about it.
Banner.jpg and banner.psd show the general theme I am looking for.
I need blog header for the thesis template for wordpress with 930 px, with a maximum height of 250-300px.
My site is accessible and lets the visitor change the screen font size, so the header needs to fade to white at the lefthand and righthand edges, so it handles fluid layout.
The image needs to indicate that usability is all about user-centered design principles. - i.e. reviewing a website based on the feelings it creates for the visitor when they use it.
The audience is corporate, but I don't want tired pictures of smiling business people shaking hands in brightly lit offices :).
The blog has a man's silhouetted head as the logo which needs to be incorporated in some way - as the logo appears as a watermark on some of my videos etc.
The header *must* communicate what my company does, not just look nice/professional.
I use non-serif fonts throughout the site.
I have attached some images to help with the colour palette and show you what exists already, and the logo.
It has to be less than 100-150kb when complete - the smaller the better. Any file format is OK (gif/jpg/png) as long as the quality is ok.
Thanks for helping me :)
