Network marketers are quick to spout off the famous quote by Zig Ziglar:
"You can have anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want"
However, over the years at numerous training seminars, I have asked these distributors to write down the name of their top 3 team members. After they have completed this task, I ask them to write down the specific TOP 3 REASONS these people are building a business.
The response is always the same… they look like a deer starring into headlights!
Everyone understands the truth in Mr. Ziglar's quote, but very few actually take the quote to heart and live and work daily with the goal to help others get what they want. Those that do take this task to heart become sought after, recognized leaders within their particular companies.
Why don't more network marketers experience what I call the Leadership Paradigm shift? Because when you join a network market company everything about you is put to the test:
* Your Persistence
* Your Self Image
* Your ability to Handle Rejection
* Your time Management Skills
* Your ability to Focus
* Your Leadership Abilities
* Your communication Skills
* Your ability to put your pride away and seek help
* Your ability to maintain relationships with family and friends
And the list goes on and on, and on and on some more!
Network Marketing requires more personal growth than perhaps any profession you can choose. However, it also offers more personal freedom and wealth than any other profession as well.
When you join a Network Marketing organization, everything about you is tested. These constant tests create an unusual focus on yourself and your personal growth. This is just a natural progression of your thought processes. Does this make sense?
As you begin to grow as person, learn new skills, and develop new attitudes the business ultimately becomes easier as you start to create systems that maximize your performance.
After you develop an organization of a couple of hundred of people, you must realize that you have accomplished more at this point than 90% of the people that ever join a network marketing organization. You should congratulate yourself! The fact that you have made it to this point proves that you have the internal make up to build a huge organization, and the residual income lifestyle you are working for.
However, at this point something must happen. The Leadership Paradigm must occur. You must learn how to take the concentration and focus off of yourself, and place it on the development of your team members. You probably don't realize it at this point, but you really are over the hump. Your income and lifestyle may not outwardly show this with a group of a couple of hundred people, but the fact is YOU HAVE MADE IT OVER THE HUMP.
The bad news is very few potential MLM Leaders have the ability to change focus from their self and onto helping their team learn, grow, and develop the skills and attitudes necessary for success.
At this point, if you can focus on Zig Ziglar's quote and develop a heart for helping people, you will have a great future in this industry. Without the MLM Leadership paradigm shift, you will probably still achieve financial success but you will miss the 2 greatest benefits of the business.
- The friendships and Relationships you develop, and
- The true leadership and growth within yourself.
Don't get me wrong. Without the MLM Leadership Paradigm shift, you will still experience personal growth but not leadership growth. True leaders focus 100% on helping others.
There is a Bible verse that says, "He who wishes to be great, let them become the SERVANT of many…"
Where is your focus right now? Be honest with yourself when you answer this question. Are you focused on the growth of your organization, or are you totally focused on helping your team achieve what they want?
My hope for you is that you will experience the MLM Leadership Paradigm Shift!

I appreciate your taking the time to take a look at my book project, Border Patrol Nation, an in-depth examination of the unprecedented armed build-up on U.S. international boundaries, its rapid expansion into the interior of the country, and the rising industry that is building around it. This build-up's immigration-enforcement (and homeland security) mission is powerful, yet often unseen or even subtle, and is leaving no part of the country, nor even aspect of life--including education, employment, or even the fundamental way we treat our fellow human beings--untouched. In places ranging from the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona, to Detroit, Michigan, to San Juan, Puerto Rico (to name a few), this book will bring these dynamics, their impacts, and even the resulting created mentality, to life.
In April, I returned to New York City where I live, after spending four months doing immersion research for the book project in the Southwest borderlands. Please check out some of the writing that I have done as a result of this trip: a photo essay called A Long and Silent Border War, a depiction of a standoff between a judge and a shackled child in a Border Patrolized courtroom, combat vehicles in New Mexico, a posse-recruitment meeting in the suburbs of Phoenix, a meeting with a tech-savvy citizen-patrol group, the burgeoning border tech industry and its expansion into the university system, and much more on the NACLA blog Border Wars.
So far I have funded this research out of my own pocket, and now I need to fund-raise to do three more research trips: 1. Detroit/Buffalo/Syracuse to look at the expansion of the immigration enforcement web through the northern border region and to get first-hand testimonies from those impacted; 2. North/South Carolina to learn the low-down on companies such as KDH Defense Systems (who just received a contract to make body armor for the Border Patrol) and to investigate the police enforcement of immigration law that is pervading the deep south; and 3. Puerto Rico which not only has a Border Patrol station, but also an active youth program associated with it. On top of this I will learn about the enactment and patrolling of the international boundary at sea, especially between the United States and Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
My fundraising also includes covering my tight budget, as I hunker down and write with a December 1 deadline. I have signed a contract with City Lights Books. The $4,000 I am requesting will cover a good chunk of all of this, but not all, so I hope to raise even more money.
But let me explain a little more about my project:
During the past 15 years I have seen first-hand the massive build-up on the U.S.-Mexico border. I've seen the Border Patrol go from 5,000 to 8,000 to 15,000 to the current 21,000 agents.
I've watched the walls go up with cameras and stadium lights and sensors.
I've seen the SUVs, the ATVs, the horses, the bikes, and now the armored combat vehicles, bringing the "battlefield to the border," as one ex-Marine put it to me in an interview.
I have also talked to people who would migrate, regardless of this border security build-up. I talked to people before they crossed, on the Mexican side, many of them small farmers who couldn't make a living anymore, NAFTA's refugees.
And I have talked to the deported. One man had feet so swollen from blisters that they no longer fit in his shoes, but he continued on. As he showed me his ravaged feet, he described an entire day walking barefoot on the hot desert floor.
Everyone directly involved in this situation describes it as a crisis. Everyone, from Border Patrol to rights activists to ranchers to migrants.
But I had never heard this situation described with enthusiasm, and when I did, I was floored.
It wasn't that the people from the border technology industry who I was talking to were jubilant about the thousands and thousands of migrants who have died attempting to cross through the desert during the last 15 years--they didn't seem to be aware of this at all. The border and its build-up was, rather, a commercial opportunity.
A whole massive world opened up, a world in which the uniformed, armed Border Patrol agent is the most visible element, but only plays one role of many in the creation, re-creation, and expansion of the most massive border/immigration enforcement apparatus that we have ever constructed in the United States.
In other words, the Border Patrol's security apparatus is not only embodied by agents in green uniforms with guns, but also by men and women in suits and ties and t-shirts and jeans, and even teenagers in shorts. This is represented by judges, attorneys, bus drivers, police officers, prison guards, and food service workers. It is not only a job creating industry, but increasingly present in all levels of schooling. And it is not only geographically isolated to international boundaries, but expanding at a rather and sometimes hysterical rate into the country's interior.
The Border Patrol, both literally and figuratively, is everywhere. It could be an actual agent in Syracuse asking a brown-skinned man for his papers in the Greyhound bus station, or a police officer outside doing the same thing to somebody on their way to work. It could be a 20-something engineer with a Justin Bieber haircut creating the next gee-wiz micro-drone in a homeland security laboratory. It could be a teenager earning minimum wage in an economically-depressed North Carolina town making body armor for the border agents. It could be a prison guard in Mississippi.
Where and how fast is it expanding? Who is it touching, impacting, detaining, employing? What is it transforming--politically, economically, socially, and even spiritually? How is it impacting the way we see the world and our fellow human beings?
In this book I will tell stories of the construction and reconstruction of this new world, of the Border Patrol-ization of the nation. It will describe the many facets of this enforcement apparatus: as an industrial force, a source of employment, a way of life, even as a youth program and an adrenaline-pumping movie. I've already interviewed people in border tech companies, Border Patrol agents (including dissenting agents), Border Patrol youth, people in Native American communities, the incarcerated (including the children of the incarcerated and the private prisons where they are held), and the deported.
Vast inequalities between peoples, and the walls (and technology) used to separate them, have become profitable and acceptable. To complete the research for this book, I will need to continue to look wherever racial and social boundaries divide the rich and the poor, such as on the U.S.-Mexico border. This book will challenge readers to re-imagine the immigration enforcement apparatus, and the industrial force behind it, that touches us all in sometimes not-so-obvious yet powerful ways. We must rethink and actively challenge a force that disproportionately targets, impacts, and harasses the poor and communities of color.
Thank you for your support!
*And a special thanks to Daniel Stein (who took the photo of the Stryker combat vehicle in the video) and Mark Miller for their invaluable help with some of the research thus far.

Designers of four schemes surrounding the World Heritage site of the Tower of London have failed to agree on a common strategy, and two of the four were the subject of serious criticism from the Royal Fine Art Commission.
Plans by Sir Norman Foster and Terry Farrell for the site by the Tower of London will get the go-ahead, but two others will be kept waiting, the rfac has predicted.
Secretary Francis Golding said Foster and Partners' Tower Place office and retail scheme, which backs on to Terry Farrell & Partners' design for a hotel and shops to the west of the tower, was now blending more harmoniously, following a reduction in the number of air ventilation louvres on Thames Street. 'It looks like the schemes by Foster and Farrell are likely to get planning approval soonish.'
The fate of the two other schemes was more uncertain, he said. Manser Associates' design for a 120m four-boat pier costing £4.5 million went in for an rfac presentation yesterday (20 May), and the team must wait several more weeks. This scheme is more advanced than the final one, Tower Approaches, being overseen by three consultants Sir William Whitfield, engineer Alan Baxter and design adviser Rory Coonan, said Golding. It aims to remove the traffic around the tower.
Golding said the main problem was getting the designers to talk with each other about their designs, to a masterplan by bdp. 'The last time we met, three weeks ago, there was an amazing bun fight. The four schemes were here and we wanted a model made. They wanted separate presentations and Sir William Whitfield is back designing tower approaches in more detail.'
Foster and Partners has scooped another prime riverside site in London to design offices, shopping and leisure facilities. The 1.2ha development between London Bridge and Tower Bridge will be worth £1 billion. The architect was appointed by Capital and Income Trust, which will work with Stanhope.

When Megan Sound was 29 she dedicated her life to pursing creative projects she'd let linger in her imagination for too long. Sound turned 29 on June 29, 2009 and decided a golden birthday just wouldn't do. She declared that year her "power year." For 365 days she lived with intent; she was structured about making change happen in her life. And so was born, the power year.
When life leaves you feeling stuck or unsure, listening to your true self can reboot your outlook and foster positive change.
Specifics vary for each individual. However, a power year typically includes:
Identity and values exploration
Detachment from unnecessary pressures
Reconnecting with what brings you joy
Decluttering home environment and simplifying personal routines
Rediscovering (or discovering) your authentic self

The TradeOff Platform
Customer Engagement
TradeOff initially enables potential customers to test-drive decentralised applications in the virtual world and in their ideal context. Tradeoff uses kinaesthetic learning (learning to doing) and premium gamification techniques to achieve this.
Test-Drive and Transition
At the core of the TradeOff platform is a premium game: The Game of Money and Life. The individual navigates through realistic scenarios where they encounter financial and lifestyle events and "trade-off" decisions that require them to choose and test-drive decentralised applications and other products from daily life.
Grow Mainstream Adoption
TradeOff uses a business to business distribution model to customers and employees. TradeOff uses the decentralised application's existing customer base and leverages it by the "friends and family' program and cross connecting to other application's (non-competitor) customer bases. TradeOff augments this audience with global transmedia engagement events including reality TV formats, feature documentaries, e-sports and tournaments.
Tradeoff's Outcomes
Everybody wins
TradeOff's participants have fun, get much better and more cost effective services. For those using financial services based decentralised applications, the individual can add as much as $US200,000 to their retirement funds and have a trusted source of knowledge. Decentralised applications get to the mainstream audience, securing their long term future and competitive advantage. They also increase customer engagement, loyalty and share of wallet. Knowledgeable customers are lower risk, lower cost customers. TradeOff protects existing customers from competitors' digital tactics. TradeOff gives customers full access to your product range every time they play the game. TradeOff improves the cost effectiveness of marketing and advertising expenses and is fully transparent and accountable. TradeOff also is ideal for testing and launching revised and/or new products and augmenting existing sales and marketing campaigns. TradeOff also reduces the litigation risk and costs. (Set out to the right is an example of the benefits that TradeOff brings to a financial services decentralised application.)

We have been back from California going on 2 weeks now.
I am dreaming of the West Coast, Redwood forests and the moody Pacific nightly.
I think I may be in love...
With that said, I still haven't finished sorting through and editing the 1300+ photos I took while there and have since felt a bit overwhelmed about what to even share.
I also must admit that I am feeling a bit underwhelmed about being back.
I live in am absolutely gorgeous area, but am feeling a bit of wanderlust and like I didn't get enough of the magic while I was on the other coast, leaving something to be desired now that I am back.
Slowly, though, I am finding those moments.
The shimmers of light caught out of my peripheral.
The golden and fiery fields.
The moments that grab at my heart strings.
I like those moments.
I feel like my heart expands.
I can feel the energy swirling and swelling, like now I use it to breathe in place of my lungs.
Do you know that feeling?

Trustwave researchers recently accessed a server storing almost two million user names and passwords for Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn and several other sites (h/t Graham Cluley).
Specifically, the server, which was controlling an instance of the Pony botnet, held 1,580,000 Web site login credentials, 320,000 e-mail account credentials, 41,000 FTP account credentials, 3,000 Remote Desktop credentials, and 3,000 Secure Shell account credentials.
The researchers note that while Facebook credentials may be high-profile, the server also held almost 8,000 login credentials for payroll service ADP, which would likely have more direct financial repercussions for the victims than a breach of a social networking site.
A list of the 10 most common passwords found on the server indicates once again that most people aren't exercising caution in selecting a password -- "123456" was the most popular, followed by "123456789," "1234," and "password."

These genuine cream puffs, folks, are even better.
You can thank Millie for them. I'm not fasting from meals for Lent, but the girls and I have omitted desserts and sweeteners during the week, waiting until Sundays (which aren't part of the 40 days) to add honey to our tea. Millie's been making one fancy dessert each Sunday, too, and this one hit the spot. I helped her in parts, but she's the one to thank for the bulk of it.
For the cream puffs, we slightly adapted the classic Fannie Farmer recipe, which follows.
Cream Puffs
(makes 28-30)
1 cup water
8 tbsp. butter
1 cup flour
4 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla*
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the water and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Return to moderate heat and stir constantly until the dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating hard until the dough is smooth. Place large, rounded tablespoons of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes or until puffs are golden brown. Prick the tops with a toothpick or skewer to let steam escape for a few minutes and, after cooling them for a bit on a rack, cut them in half.
Note: She added the vanilla to the dough, and we baked them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets instead of bare sheets.
Cream Filling (Crème Pâtissière)
Makes enough for 28-30 cream puffs.
Millie used Fannie Farmer's Basic Cream Filling recipe, and then she folded sweetened, fresh whipped cream into the chilled filling to make a lighter, fluffier filling.
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
6 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
4 tsp. vanilla
Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan until very hot but not boiling. Mix the sugar, flour, and salt together in a bowl, stir in the hot milk, and beat until well blended. Pour back into the pan and continue to stir vigorously over low heat for 4-5 minutes, until very thick and smooth. Add the egg yolks and cook for a few more minutes. Cool, stirring from time to time, then add the vanilla.
Cool completely in the refrigerator (or, if you're strapped for time like Millie was, in the freezer) before folding in freshly whipped cream. Whip 3/4 pint of heavy cream (reserving the remaining 1/4 pint) until soft peaks form and gradually add sugar, to taste, until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled crème pâtissière, and then place a hearty dollop of the filling onto each cooled cream puff before replacing the tops.
Chocolate Ganache Topping
Take the remaining 1/4 pint of heavy cream and heat it together with a cup or so of semisweet chocolate chips. (We use the microwave for this. Just heat it for 30 seconds and then in increments of 10 seconds to avoid scorching it.) Stir together until melted and smooth. Allow it to cool and thicken a bit until it's the right consistency for topping your cream puffs. Melt in a few more chocolate chips if it seems too thin. Allow topping to cool and then dig in.
Note: They are best eaten fresh, as they tend to become soggy when stored in the refrigerator.
These are unbelievable, but don't give yourself a bellyache.
(And if you do, don't say I didn't warn you.)

Number 425, July 8, 2007
"Freedom in trivial things matters too."
Is There Hope?
Special to The Libertarian Enterprise
I remember there was time when I wasn't as cynical as I am now about the future of this country. It was during the time I first discovered the fundamentals of Libertarianism after reading Hope by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman. I knew of the freedoms that we have lost, but I believed that it was possible to convince enough people to help take back these lost liberties. I am amazed at how naďve and optimistic I was, seven years ago. My outlook would soon change through the out the years.
My experiences began when I took American Government during the fall semester of 2001 at a community college in Tomball, Texas. My class just happened to take place on what become one of the darkest periods of American history. On the day of September 11, I arrived at the teaching theater, where we usually had class. Our professor had live news footage of the burning towers projected on a large screen that she usually used for her lectures. Everybody sat in silence while watching the skyscrapers fall. I was shocked and dismayed like everybody else in the room at the senseless death and destruction. I also began to morn the loss of freedom that would surely result from this tragedy. It wasn't long before somebody came in the room and told us that the rest of the classes were cancelled for that day.
Two weeks after that day, our professor told us about her experiences she had at a Houston airport. She complained about how lax the security measures were and even complained to the airport management about it. I had to restrain myself from rolling my eyes.
Even before 9-11, I have also thought that airport security was a joke. Making some clown in a security uniform take an extra five minutes to shift through your underwear isn't going to make you any safer. I would feel safer if I wasn't treated like a criminal every time I need to board a plane.
There was one student who compared post 9-11 airports with Nazi Germany. I couldn't help but grin at that comparison. Our instructor asked if it made her feel safe. The student just shrugged. Our professor said that it didn't matter if these measures were too excessive, as long they made us feel safe.
It was then that my blood started to boil. I had to use every last bit of restraint I had from tongue lashing our instructor. There is nothing that makes me madder then somebody who is willing to trade freedom, for the illusion of security. Not only is it cowardly, but it's downright selfish. Freedom belongs to everybody. So when people give up their rights, they are also selling out yours and mine. Of course I didn't say any of this in class, since I was more worried about my grade point average.
When we started to discuss the Bill of Rights, our instructor told us that none of these rights are absolute. She even used old expression "you can't say fire in a crowded theater". This time I couldn't help but role my eyes. This was one of the oldest tactics that statists liked to use to justify the infringement of our rights. I always thought it the old "you can't yell fire in a crowded theater" was a stupid analogy. You simply punish the stupid bastard who said it. You don't make everybody where muzzles before entering the theater.
It came as no surprise that she believed that were 'reasonable' restrictions regarding the Second Amendment. First she claimed that the words "A well regulated Militia" gave the government power to regulated firearms.
Once again, I kept my mouth shut. That was until she brought up the Second Amendment. She claimed that the words "A well regulated militia" gave the government power to restrict the sales of firearms and ban certain types of "assault weapons". I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer.
I told her that the Second Amendment was designed as a balance between the people and the standing army, which could one day become the tools of an oppressive government. I also said that by allowing the government to restrict certain type's weapons, then one day the government might restrict to us to muzzle loading rifles. Where's the balance in that? Besides criminals are able to get guns, no matter how strict the laws are. Didn't we learn anything from the failure of prohibition or the continuing failure of the so-called "War on Drugs?"
Most of what I said fell on deaf ears, since I was the only one in class who really understood the importance of the Second Amendment. There were some hunters in the class who claimed they were pro-gun, except when it came to AK-47's, since they weren't designed for hunting. There was one thirty year old student that said that people shouldn't be allowed to own "Cop Killing" bullets or "Assault Rifles" because her husband was a cop and she didn't have to worry about him. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to tell her that her husband had better chance of confronting an escaped tiger, then a perp. with an "Assault Rifle."
Even though the first semester of American government was definitely and eye opener, it wasn't until the next semester that I became disillusioned and more cynical about my age group that I began to wonder if there was hope for my generation. I will discuss that in part two of this article.

I have atomic writes (inserts, updates) to the database layer which will be called in a variety of ways:
Sometimes they will be called atomically, in which case the code must create a new ambient transaction.
In other situations they can be called from a parent business process in the business layer which initiates a transaction scope, where the atomic operation is one of many such database operations that must all be in the same transaction. In these cases the operation must enlist in the ambient transaction created by the outermost transaction scope using statement.
Finally, in some cases the outermost business process or outermost transaction scope using statement is creating an ambient transaction and running multiple threads to accomplish its work, and each thread does dataabse work which must be in the transaction. In these cases I need to use the
DependentTransaction pattern. (Among other scenarios, I use this pattern from unit tests where I want the entire process to leave no permanent footprints in the DB).
So, how can I (or should I) code the inner
using statments, (at all levels of the nesting), to ensure that it will function properly both when it is called from an outer transaction with a dependantTransaction, and when it is called by itself and there is no ambient transaction ??
private static readonly TransactionOptions txOptRC =
new TransactionOptions() { IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted };
// need this when called by itself or from non-threaded outer Tx ...
using (var scop = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, txOptRC))
// Transactional work here
// need this when called from a multi-threaded or ThreadPooled outer Tx
using (var scop = new TransactionScope(dependentTransaction))
// Transactional work here
One approach I am considering is:
public void MyMethod( , , , , , DependentTransaction depTx = null)
using (var scop = depTx != null?
new TransactionScope(depTx):
TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, txOptRC))
// Transactional Work here
// other stuff
would this cause any issues ?
Also, (second question) as I understand it, this cloned dependant transaction pattern is only necessary at the point in the nesting where you are calling subordinate (lower nested) transactional work on multiple threads, or asynchronously, (in a manner that where it is not determinisitc that the outer transactionScope code cannot finish and drop out of the closing brace of the using block before the inner nested transactions have voted...
So does this mean that if inner nestings of transactionScopes (where everything is synchronous and on a single thread), do not need to deal with the cloned dependent transaction? Can inner nested transactionScopes of this nature then simply use the standard construction ? If this is true I would only have to use the above condiitonal syntax at the point where the code creates multiple threads or calls a subordinate method asynhronously...
I would have two overloads of same method once gets the outer transaction as parameter and the other one gets nothing.
your two blocks from the question's body would become those two overloads, I would then put all the common code as you have just called it:
// Transactional work here
into a private method of the class so to do not write it twice.

Mystery Stock RevealedPublished June 22nd, 2006 in Technical Analysis
Two days ago I offered a chart and asked whether you would buy it or not. Rather than reveal it in the comments section as promised before, I decided to make a new post to show you the price action that followed:
For those keeping score:
- Eyal went long with a trailing stop above $7
- Michael preferred to stand aside but 'gun to the head' he went short (and was stopped out)
- Idempotent tried to short it below $6 but never got the chance since HANS never saw that handle again
- Yunis stood aside
- Chad went long with a stop at the trendline and got stopped out in the $40-$50 range
- Pradeep went long and targeted $20 (which he might have gotten if he held on through the July pullback)
- and finally, Mousefinger went long and is assumed to be still munching on a massive block of cheese he bought with the profits
Thanks to all who participated!
If you haven't taken a look at Hansen's long term (monthly) chart, go ahead and do so. You'll find that from mid-1998 to mid-2003 it was going sideways. Boring if you were trading the stock but if you happened to come in later, you would have appreciated the massive base that it built. Without it, I don't think it would have been able to launch such a rocket to the moon.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the 'next HANS'. It is out there, biding its time, waiting to be discovered. Fire up the filters!

Would have been quite tough to hold through the entire move, psychologically. I wonder, statistically, how many stocks within the past couple of dacades or so had this kind of explosive move from single digit to triple digits over this kind of timeframe.

Check out CCBEF.ob (Clearly Canadian) or JAVO.ob (JAVO Beverage Company)or LBIX (Leading Brands)….
ALL are very speculative, but have made the kind of moves HANS made in it's early days…..Also all three are in the same sector as HANS….
I will check back every once in a while…..

A company in Russia has started making armour for police dogs who sniff out dangerous areas, after a French police dog died in a terrorist blast in Paris.
The Scientific Production Association of Special Materials (NPO) have also released a video detailing how the armour works. Called 'Nord body-armour', the basic vest protects the dog's neck and chest, while additional armour can also be added to the legs and head.
Dog handler Vladimir Khitrykh explains:
At first, of course, the dog did not like the vest. Then gradually she realised that it was for her own good and protection. We taught her with the help of incentives. We can put the armoured vest on the dog in just one minute.
The St. Petersberg based company was formed under the Soviet Union as a specialist armoured materials laboratory during the Cold War.
The news comes after Russia donated a puppy to France to carry on the work of Diesel, the police dog who died in a suicide blast during police raids in the French capital.

To find out if you're paying too much, and to see what kind of savings you could make, just follow the three step process to compare a wide range of plans from a wide range of providers.
We'll show you tariffs from a selection of the best providers on the market, so you can be sure that you'll be able to find the best deals possible.
Here's a list of the providers that we can switch you to straight away.
Finding the best energy deals with USave is incredibly simple. All you need to do is enter your postcode in the box you'll find here. Once you've done that, you'll need to tell us a bit about your current supply including who your current provider is and, ideally, how much you're spending and using each month.
Next, you'll be shown a selection of all of the best deals available in your area, and how much you'd save by switching to each. You can see all the key details of the tariffs here to help you decide. Once you've picked one, just click through and follow the on-screen instructions, and you're switch will commence.
The initial process of finding and selecting a deal shouldn't take more than around 10 minutes. Once you're set up, the actual switch should take no more than 17 days. Your new supplier will handle all of the admin, including talking to your current supplier to arrange the handover.
You'll have a 14-day cooling off period starting from when you put the switch through during which you can cancel it is, for any reason, you change your mind.
Once you've decided to switch and have selected a tariff, you'll enter a 14-day 'cooling off' period. During this time, if you decide you actually don't want to switch, or that you want to switch to someone else entirely, you are free to cancel to process by talking to your new supplier.
This will depend on several factors, including how much you're spending now and, most importantly, the kind of tariff you're currently on. If you're on a Standard Variable Tariff (which is most likely the case if: you've just moved in to a property, your fixed rate deal has finished, or you don't know what tariff you're on) then savings can be in the hundreds.
To find out exactly how much you could save, enter your postcode here to start the comparison process.
Yes, and you're likely to get a much better deal if you do. However, often people have prepayment meters installed due to arrears from previous energy tariffs, or issues with credit ratings. If this is the case then you may have difficulty switching to a standard meter unless you have cleared your arrears and improved your credit rating.
When the switch goes through, you will be sent a final bill by your current supplier detailing any remaining payments due. For the most part, any debts will simply be included on this bill and won't hinder the switch (though this will be up to the new supplier). However, if your debts to your current supplier exceed £500, then you'll need to pay at least a chunk of it back before you'll be allowed to switch.
Nowadays, with more and more of a focus on environmental issues across all sectors, it's no surprise that there are an increasing number of energy supplier that specialise in providing clean electricity and cleaner gas. Most providers will try and tilt their energy mix towards renewables, but there are a few who's electricity is totally green, including: Bulb, Ecotricity, Good Energy, Green Star and LoCO2. To see a detailed breakdown of where different suppliers source their electricity from, check out our where does my power come from guide.
When you move into a new property, you will almost invariably be placed on what's known as a deemed tariff. This is a standard variable tariff and is the most expensive kind available. So unless you switch right away, you're going to be paying over the odds for your energy supply.
To make matters worse, unless you set up a new account, your first bill will be based on an estimate – this means that the energy company guess how much they think you might be using and bill you accordingly.
If you've received a massive bill for your first month, the first thing you should do is switch right away. Your new supplier will ask for meter readings at some point during the process, and this should correct any overblown estimates. However, it's a good idea to get in touch with your old supplier and give them up to date meter readings just to make sure – they'll then send you an amended bill based on what you've actually used.
Economy 7 tariffs use a differential meter to charge a different price for energy at peak and off-peak times. The name, Economy 7, refers to the 7 hours during the night when your energy will be cheaper. Economy 10 tariffs are also available and work in much the same way.
A smart meter is a type of energy meter that tracks and sends usage data to the provider in real time. There are various benefits to smart meters, including no more estimated readings inflating your bills, and the ability to monitor your own energy usage in real time and adjust it accordingly to save power and money.

FlashBlade was built to scale to 10s of PBs of data and billions of files/objects, handling both IO and metadata scale seamlessly as it grows. An elastic scale-out design at every level, FlashBlade is simple to manage at any size. Need anything more? Just add a blade.
FlashBlade includes a built-in GUI and CLI, as well as our Pure1 cloud-based management and support platform. A single administrator can manage a FlashBlade deployment of any size.
With an N+2 design for redundancy, FlashBlade can tolerate two full blade failures and many more flash chip failures without data service interruption. The latest LDPC error recovery protects against flash bit errors, and all data is encrypted all the time. Blade loss results in a predictable 1/N aggregate performance loss, and the system auto-rebuilds to heal around failures.
We designed intelligence into the networking so you don't have to worry about it. FlashBlade utilizes a high performance 320Gb/s fabric with object messaging and distributed transaction protocol to ensure fast and reliable communication between Elasticity instances running on each blade.
The simple scaling unit that adds capacity (8TB or 52TB), along with protocol processing, metadata, and NV-RAM with each addition.
FPGA with embedded ARM cores delivers efficient flash management
The fastest connection from flash to processors
Processing + networking in a low-cost design
Scales write bandwidth with each Blade
Elastic scale-out storage services at every layer.
The scale-out object core of the system, the Elastic Core implements the basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) semantics that all protocols are built-on. It also implements all system and flash resiliency services, including data reduction, encryption, as well as full reliability protection against flash and component failure. Future data services will also include snapshots and replication.
The extensible metadata engine of the system, the Elastic Map delivers variable-block metadata across all layers of the system. Metadata performance is treated just as critically as I/O performance, and the Map can be queried independently by the user for rich file usage and auditing analytics.
Multiple protocols are implemented as peers on top of the Elastic Core, allowing the system to present data via file, object, or higher-level analytic protocols simultaneously. Each protocol is implemented from scratch in a true scale-out fashion, and extensibility allows future protocols to be added easily.
A built-in, software-defined fabric that scales to 100s of Blades and 1000s of clients.
From client to Blade, a 320Gb/s Ethernet network ensures the fastest, most cost-effective connectivity that you never have to manage.
Proprietary object messaging and distributed transaction protocols ensure fast and reliable communication between Elasticity instances running on each blade.
Separate virtual networks isolate client, management/metadata, and data transport with defined SLAs.

One of the last four federal marijuana patients, Barbara Douglass, passed away on August 26. She was 62 years old.
Born in Storm Lake, IA on April 13, 1956, Douglass suffered from multiple sclerosis. She petitioned the government in 1991 to allow her to enter NIDA's Compassionate Investigative New Drug (IND) program, which provided a monthly allotment of government-grown marijuana to patients.
Diagnosed with MS in 1988, Douglass had never used marijuana until it was recommended that she try some to find relief. She quickly discovered that cannabis helped treat pain and spasticity. She also had a wasting syndrome, but was able to overcome that thanks to the marijuana, which gave her an appetite.
In the 1980s and '90s, the Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics (ACT) opened the door to the relatively unknown IND program. Robert Randall – the first person to legally receive federal medical marijuana through the program (for glaucoma) – and his partner, Alice O'Leary, founded the group. Randall was approved to receive marijuana in 1975. The compassionate IND program's application was quite complicated, involving a great deal of paperwork. To help guide patients though the process, Randall and O'Leary put together a how-to manual that helped a

SIUE School of Nursing to Offer Doctorate for Nurse Anesthetists
The nurse anesthesia (NA) program at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Nursing has been approved to transition from a master's degree program to a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program in May 2015.
SIUE's DNP NA program has received all university approvals and recently received approval from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Programs (COA) in January 2014. SIUE is the first higher education institution in the St. Louis metropolitan area to offer a doctoral degree for nurse anesthetists.
The new program will retain its core anesthesia curriculum, but will also incorporate the School's DNP curriculum. The master's program requires 31 months, 72 credit hours and 2,428 practicum hours. The DNP NA will require 36 months, 80 credit hours and 2,740 practicum hours. The transition to the DNP reflects the changes in the national health care system, as well as the growing need for nursing leaders to have extensive knowledge to design, implement and assess care.
"We are extremely excited that the SIUE nurse anesthesia program will now lead to a DNP degree," said Dr. Kathy Ketchum, assistant dean for graduate programs. "Our students will incorporate advanced leadership and evidence-based skills into their theory-guided anesthesia practice to achieve the highest quality patient outcomes."
Interim Dean Anne Perry noted that the approval from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Programs is essential to ensure continued academic preparation for nurse anesthesia providers in the region. By 2022, COA is requiring all nurse anesthesia programs to transition their curricula from a master of science to a doctor of nursing practice.
Students currently enrolled in the program will receive a master's degree with a specialization in nurse anesthesia. Those submitting applications for the 2014 cycle will be applying for the DNP NA, with accepted students beginning the new program in May 2015.
The SIUE School of Nursing began offering a post-baccalaureate nurse anesthesia master's in 1990.

Laguna Hills Attorneys in our system focus their practice on family law matters and more specifically on divorce and child custody related issues.
Why retain a Divorce Attorney in Laguna Hills?
If you have a divorce or child custody case in Laguna Hills California you may want to find an experienced attorney that is familiar with the judges, child custody evaluators, mediators, and other divorce attorneys in your area.

How do I find the right Divorce Attorney in Laguna Hills California?

If you are going through a divorce or custody battle, you will probably want to find an attorney that focuses their practice on family law and more specifically on divorce and child custody issues. An experienced custody attorney should be aware of the most recent laws and developments in California pertaining to child custody. He/she should have experience and knowledge of common custody topics such as 730 child custody evaluations, move-away cases, parental alienation, domestic violence, restraining orders, child abuse, child protective services (CPS) involvement in custody, a child's wishes in custody, grandparent rights, paternity cases, and the best interest of the child as it applies to California custody cases. Many attorneys provide a free initial consultation, which can be a great opportunity for you to find out how much experience and knowledge the attorney has with cases and issues similar to yours in the Laguna Hills family courts.

(Have you ever seen a Ghost?)
I've been struggling, rummaging round again
But this time, I'm focused on me and me only
Love in my heart, there's no need to be lonely
Gave ten friends my number, three phoned me
Now the ball's in my court, I free throw
Feds stop me at Gatwick, Heathrow
And Stanstead, they know how wicked man get
I used to have a Bluetooth handset
On a pedal bike when I didn't wanna get my phone out
And I was told to get a life
But then I got a life and when niggas tried to take it
I was told to get a knife
But then I got a Rambo, man know
I will not stop until I've got about like nine mil
I had a MAC-11 not a 9mm
Back when they charged four bills for a feature
But now, it's a different pattern
Catch me slipping? It's you that's lacking
I'm the type to run away screaming out "watch what happens"
Till you watch what happens
And I don't wanna sing on myself
But if he violates, I cannot not nab him
Just cause I say street shit on grime
Top boys say that I've not got talent
But fuck it, I don't need talent
I know Wolfpack, I know Greenbangers
I was a yout them times they was teens jammin'
Never knew growing up I would be savage
But I'm older and tryna get rebalanced
End fools careers and make dreams happen..
.. Yeah, I end fools careers
And I know junkies who swap tools for gear
I don't call my peers, too cool for beers
Went school with things, went colly with stuff
But I ain't a clown, no Noddy with us
And if anyone hates, it's probably cause I'm serious
And they're in a comedy club
Move low in the spot, ain't hotting it up
West end, 1Xtra, got on a bus
Still live way better than anyone 20 in London
Fuck it, I'm hotting 'em up
The perks of being me is while you listen to this
You ain't even heard the half of my list
You don't know the cost
They're street thugs, I'm the underboss
We come through like we do motocross
Talk 'bout God? You best hold your cross
Oh my gosh, they think I'm gonna backflip
Backfoot my back foot
I was doing tunes when they couldn't even strap hooks
Strap what? Are you that shook?
Man don't mug me, I am not fooled
I am not cool, don't left hand spud me
You'll get a left hand, then you'll be looking
At your right hand man like "let's go country"
And they can't say what the boy wonder's under
Can't ever say what the don don's on
Can't say what the boy wonder's under
Why? Cause I never, ever put a foot wrong
Can't say what the boy, can't say what the boy
From the bottom of her heart, she wants the boy
Outfit, leg and an arm, it cost the boy
I could harm your roster boy
Don't try and sign to me, do your own ting
It will be better
Cause young black entrepreneurs that came from the mud
Only makes the scene better, nigga, be clever
And we can get money or beef
We can do whatever, in the zoo or whatever
Down here's two two for a two of the stretcher
When it gets peak, I know you ain't a seller
When it gets peak and I'm on empty
Till I'm facing death like it's meant, G
In their vid, they stunt and get X3s
Me? I sell songs and get Ps
When they didn't wanna know, they was hating
Now it's all hashtag NP
Smoke so much
That my lungs are blacker than Benji
And I'm old school like MSN
Old school like Dre and Eminem
Old school like when most drinks in the shop were twenty pence
Old school like Blessed John Roache School and Tom Edison
Old school like no number, send me a BlackBerry then
Old school, man pulled up outside the rave and
Man weren't getting in
Old school Nike SCs, got 'em in white and brown
Now my feet look like a fiend
Old school Roman Road white tee
We're family, not a team, Bow bop and lean
They grow crops in dreams
Don't believe in them lies
Man already paged them guys
Man are old school like when they never had green
That's old school
Old school, man got an offer to Eton
But I was on the road eating
Old school, Senrab, I was not goalkeeping
Scored the goals and go sleeping
Old school, it was no McD's
Go to the cafe, bacon and beans
Old school, I never had a clue what I was gonna do
I made a squad or two
But you're either gonna succeed or you're gonna shot weed
But you're gonna have kids and they're gonna want Ps
You're gonna work hard and you're gonna want sleep
But think of the future, it's not that peak
Start of the year, I was on a long streak
End of the year, I'll be on a long streak
And me and my team still Dre Day
We treat London like Long Beach
Red flag, blue flag, low rider
Got stopped- yeah, yeah

Doing the numbers...
Sunday, July 08, 2012
First, what's on my mind is my TOE! I broke it two weeks ago and have been working on healing it with herbs, vitamins, acupuncture, etc. I thought it was getting better and then I made the mistake of mowing the lawn wearing a pair of muck boots. Well, those boots were not a good idea. I am worried that I may have jammed it out of place. Ugh. I'm working on getting the swelling down so I can see...
The broken toe is putting a BIG damper on my exercise routine. Walking on the hills right outside my door is my normal routine, and I haven't been able to do that, since you're supposed to stay off of it. I'm walking around (i.e., not on crutches) and that's already not so good.
So: Even though Spark is giving me congratultions for my fitness routine, frankly, it's at a low level: crawling around weeding the garden, playing music (yes, apparently it counts), plus -- I've done a bit of bike riding. But since I live on dirt roads and hills (and I'm not so fit as to be able to tackle them on a bike) I throw my bike in the car and go to the old railroad bed. It's fine...but it takes TIME. Likewise for swimming -- takes time to get in the car and go somewhere.
Okay: Nothing for it but to do SOMETHING. Today, it's going to be a lot of housecleaning...and maybe a bike ride later in the day.
In the meantime: My weight wasn't budging and now it has. I think I was doing a bit of de=toxing with my high fruits and veggie diet and it finally showed up.
I ran some numbers today, just for fun, because I am so close to my healthy BMI.
BMI: 25. That's overweight, but I need to lose only one pound to be in healthy BMI.
Body fat ratio: 25.1, which is "acceptable." However, fitness is from 21-24.
Hip-Waist ratio -- .71, which is healthy.
And finally -- interestingly -- this page also calculates my BMR and they say it is 1443 calories per day. Spark says it is in the 1700 range.
If you want to do your own calculations, here's the page: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/ Once you fill in your height and weight and get a BMI, you'll see the options for the other calculations.
Be well.

Happy to see you having success and being able to recognize it. What a boost!
Even if you feel the fitness routines are lower level... it is something. Give your self credit for the energy expenditure and movement. When the toe gets better, you will do more. It is all about the process. And you are truly working the plan.
I know about the time factor with trying to work exercise in to a busy life. I shared that same sense of time urgency for many years. At times I was successful in making room for exercise. Other times, I allowed 'life" to control me and my time budgeting. Now at 62, semi retired, I have given up a good part of my busy crazy work life , and I am making time to bike, hike etc 5-6 days a week. But it is because I feel I have the gift of time now.
But , as I look back I realize I never resolved the time urgency issue. Just worked it out with aging. This probably doesn't help, but at least I appreciate what you are going through.
Keep the faith.

Yes my last post was a bit negative but I was just a little peeved at the rubbish that some people were going on and on and on, about. Clearly they have not been involved in any R&D or product development themselves.
As you might have gathered I have decided on purchasing a Raspberry PI. Actually ordered it on the 29 of Feb (The day the
music servers died) and No I'm not annoyed or surprised (Impatient maybe) that it will be at lease another 3 weeks before another I have it in my hot little hands.
Hey it took me120 days to get a PSU PCB for a monitor from China !
Anyhow I'm spending the time learning and relearning the different versions on Linux on the 3 SD images available for the RPi. To do this QEMU is required which require Linux to run and one of the images. It can be run in Virtual Box on a Windows PC but it adds one more thing to learn if your are not already familiar with it. Three is a .ova file (Virtual Box Machine Archive) available with Debian, QEMU and a RPI image all bundled together but I had less success than with my own attempt at emulating in an emulator.
My recommendation would be to install Ubuntu on a spare PC or on a partition of your existing windows PC (Don't use the silly windows install or the latest Ubuntu they will just cause you trouble).
Then visit the RPi forum and follow info provided by jojopi and cnxsoft.
cnxsoft's has fantastic tutorials on own blog.This one in particular is very good. NOTE: Like exam paper read it all before you start he has options and pre-prepared files that save you compiling.{Bottom of the page}
OR you can go crazy following these instructions. http://raspi.springnote.com/pages/8234994
They have unfortunate names like "Flucard Pro" and "Eye-Fi" both have potential, being available in the recommended size for the RPi. This adds WiFi without using an USB port very handy in particular for the "A" board when it comes out.

Late Kolodynski goal downs Slough
Slough Town
Burnell (72), Smith (82)
Rugby Town
Lake-Gaskin (46), Kolodynski (54, 89)
Date: Tuesday, November 6th 2012 | Competition: League | Attendance: 210
Man Of Match: Jake Parsons
Starting Line Up
- James Warrington
- Sean Fraser
- Danny Murphy
- Adam Logie
- Steve Perkins
- David Woozley
- Jake Parsons
- Ollie Burgess
- Danny Burnell
- Edward Smith
- Steve Sinclair
Individual mistakes cost Slough Town in a match which saw both sides reduced to ten men - the Rebels recovering from a two goal deficit, only to be beaten by a late winning goal from David Kolodynski.
Slough were on top in the first half, but were unable to test Rugby goalkeeper David Bevan. Rugby midfielder Steve Palmer was dismissed after picking up his second yellow card in a matter of minutes.
But Slough started the second period in terrible fashion, conceding seconds after the restart. Seb Lake-Gaskin ran at the Rebels defence and his weak shot squirmed past James Warrington at his near post.
Eight minutes later, Adam Logie sold Danny Murphy short with a pass, and the full-back brought down the lively Rugby striker Kolodynski when clean through on goal. Murphy's dismissal made it ten against ten for the remainder of the game, and the strike from the resulting free kick was spilt by Warrington into the path of Kolodynski, who scored.
Clearly shell-shocked by this, the Slough side, denied the services of Alex Brown, Stuart Swift, Nathan Bowden-Haase, David Deeney and Dominic Rhone through injury or suspension, was fortunate not to go three behind with Steve Perkins clearing another effort off the line.
But Slough rallied and after Bevan denied Jake Parsons with a brilliant save, the Rebels pulled a goal back on 72 minutes, Dan Burnell heading a chipped cross from Ed Smith just inside the far post.
Both sides missed good chances before Slough equalised on 82 minutes, Smith lobbing Bevan from fully 30 yards - the goalkeeper, clearly hampered by an injury, unable to backpedal quickly enough to prevent the ball dropping into the top corner.
Both sides pushed forward looking for a winning goal in the closing stages, but Rugby snatched all three points on the break as Slough were caught with players out of position. Kolodynski ran clean through and although Warrington saved his initial effort, the striker was able to tap home his second of the match to seal the win.
Rugby Town: David Bevan, Alex Austin, Craig Kelly, Mason Rowley, Alex Gudger, Steve Palmer, Robbie Banks (c), Sam Youngs, David Kolodynski, Seb Lake-Gaskin, Fazel Koriya. Subs: Ed Booth, Jemal Wilson, Ellis Myles, Danny Hall.

|My yarn was untouched for 2 days...
Hi! Sorry for not being here the last few days - while I usually become hyper with my mega strong pain meds ketamine (I have it every 5-6 weeks), this time I was the opposite. I had negative energy and been getting lots of rest. I had to watch a lot of anime, as I didn't have energy to read for long, and definitely no energy for craft time on Monday. I've taken it easy, today's my first day of 'doing stuff' both online and offline. I'm getting there!
Thankfully yesterday and today I was up for some yarn time. I managed to make 1 baby bootie for a craft book review (photo will appear once the review goes up) and today I've started another baby bootie. It's a good thing I'm trying the patterns in practice yarn since today's pattern has 2 main errors: incorrect counting and just a blatent pattern error. I used to be shocked when patterns were wrong, but now I know that sadly it's a fact of the crafting life. I'm just grateful that I can a) recognise where errors are and b) take the time to work out an alternative.
So no pictures today, but I do have an icon for you: as promised the other day you can now buy me cake!
|This was one of the new icons as part of NCD redesign!
The idea is that if you'd like to support my blog further, but at the moment don't want to buy anything on my Etsy shop, you can keep me fuelled with cake while I work, or to help me buy yarn to create new items with!
Originally this was going to be a long-winded process, due to me not paying a monthly fee for a merchant account. However, I hopped on PayPal today and discovered they've got an easy system for you to donate! The PayPal Me feature couldn't have come at a more prefect time, and means less clicks to provide me with cake - simply go to https://www.paypal.me/Nayu, select how much you'd like to give and voila, I'll have cake/yarn money! Any support you give will be much appreciated.
It's time for me to go eat some dinner, then settle down with a good book. I'll leave you with a quote I spotted online today.

leave the castle

Posted by julie at 1/27/2011
Wow thank you for such an amazing piece of work. It makes a lovely change to read something that is inspirational. I was looking through to find people with similar interests and I came upon your work. I have an interest in Human Rights and I am very proactive in this area especially in the Tibetan cause. I would very much like to follow your blog and would apreciate if you could check out mine even though it is a little different from your own,
Thanks Tenzin Dasal
Hi Julie,
I won your giveaway last year and I love her. She remains above my bed and I have had the best spiritually growing year of my life so far.
Thank You.
The book I reached for is "Wise Women" by Joyce Tennyson, a collection of portraits and thoughts of women over 65. On page 56 is a photo of Ruth Turner, who just got married again; her thoughts are on the facing page. The fifth sentence is "We have a wonderful life together, but we kept our separate apartments." The more I think about it, the more sense it makes, especially in the context of my life. I think that the key to the greatest happiness that can be found in my marred marriage is to figuratively "keep my own apartment", "apart" being the operative word ... I must keep my own apartness, so to speak. My mind knows this, but my heart is a slow learner and needs frequent reminders.

PCIe 4.0 should see throughput increased to 64GB/sec from 32GB/sec
PCIe 4.0 will ramp things up to 64GB/sec, up from the 32GB/sec we have on PCIe 3.0 now
By: Anthony Garreffa | Connectivity & Communications News | Posted: Jun 17, 2014 2:24 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
I don't know why I'm just reading about, and thus reporting about it just now, but more details are leaking out on next iteration of the PCI Express specification - PCIe 4.0.
As it stands, PCIe 3.0 has a maximum throughput bandwidth of 32GB/sec, but PCIe 4.0 will ramp things up to 64GB/sec - as it will have a base speed of 16Gbps per data link. At the moment, GPUs won't make much more use of this, but with SSDs moving toward PCIe - we are seeing a huge increase in the required bandwidth - with OCZ showing off 3.8GB/sec with PCIe-based SSDs in RAID 0 at Computex this year as an example.
When will we see PCIe 4.0 rolled out? We should expect it to come baked into Intel's upcoming Skylake platform, with its 100-series chipset.

"What about catuaba and muirapuama?" I inquired. "Are they really effective sex enhancers, or is that just a myth?" He laughed at the question and spread his hands wide open. "There is nothing that compares with catuaba and muirapuama together. I can tell you, I have used these plants with hundreds of people. The old become sexually young again. I have seen impotent men who can have sex for the first time in years. Even healthy couples find that these plants put extra fire in their sex life. These plants are good for men and women."
I asked Antonio if he used these plants himself. He smiled again. "Sometimes. After all, I've been married to the same woman for 43 years."
Before heading off to the Amazon, I had read everything I could find on reputed sex-enhancing plants from that region. Virtually every reference I found described the use of both catuaba (Erythroxylum catuaba) and muirapuama (Ptychopetalum olacoides) to increase libido and improve sexual function.
When Bernie and I arrived in Manaus, we discovered that the use of these two botanicals was more popular than we ever suspected. Throughout Manaus, a city in the heart of the jungle, which flourished during the great rubber boom of the mid-1800s, we found dozens of guarana stands which served mixed fruit smoothies with herbs.
