 relation to just a pure cost, but in relation to what is relevant to protecting and ensuring your brand with your customer base. Big retailers and brands such as Home Depot, Target, and Apple may have the ability and resources to weather the damage caused by the recent breaches–small and medium sized businesses generally aren’t as fortunate.
I also advocate that you look at total cost and not purely an average hourly blended rate cost. Total cost of an off-shore model means taking into account all of the lost time while waiting for turn around on issues, the travel cost to send teams across the globe, the cost of having your local employees lose time with their families while they are on calls early in the am and late into their nights, and higher turnover which means higher on-boarding and training costs.
In the digital transformation era that we live in everything moves faster and we need to be more responsive to clients and customers. I would encourage leaders to question if they have positioned their teams correctly and have positioned the organization for success with a model that supports the pace of today’s world.
I work with executives in fortune 500 companies and run the numbers for them to help make informed decisions on how to position their testing organization. I see the trend being of what once was a natural function for offshore being pulled back in for on-shore and localized talent, as quality is critical to organizations’ brand image and success.
A takeaway for everyone is to understand your true “cost of quality” and make sure the model you are using fits today’s needs for your organization and not an outdated model.
I heard that somebody was high on +Klout in both Henry Rollins and Bacon. I want that +Klout. My life is incomplete without it. So I wrote this story on my lunch break. For +Klout.

Now available in the Lending LibraryAre you interested in cutting edge fundamental research? Are you looking for a job in an innovative environment? Have you purified proteins with an FPLC? We have a vacancy research technician in our laboratory of biochemistry.
We are looking for a highly motivated, pro-active research technician with experience in FPLC-based protein (e.g. ÄKTA) purification. You will work closely with BSc/MSc thesis students, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers in the group to support their research by expressing and purifying nucleic acid-interacting proteins and performing functional assays.
As research technician you will be supporting PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with their research projects. An example is the design and optimization of protein purification and functional assays. You will do this by using a FPLC system. Based on your experience you might also design and carry out enzyme activity experiments (mostly fluorescence-based).
Research in the 'Protein structure and function' research group led by Dr. Daan Swarts, focusses on the functional, structural and mechanistic characterisation of protein complexes that control prokaryotic immunity. Your team consists of 6 PhD candidates and 1 other research technician and Dr. Daan Swarts. The Protein structure and function group is embedded in the Laboratory of Biochemistry, an international, multidisciplinary, and vibrant research group at Wageningen University.
For the functional and mechanistic characterization of nucleic acid-interacting proteins we use a wide range of techniques ranging from various spectroscopic techniques (e.g. fluorimeter, FCS, UV-CD, SEC-MALS) to structural biology (e.g. X-ray crystallography, modelling, MD simulations).

The following databases are often used in W1 classes.
Academic Search Complete This link opens in a new window A multidisciplinary database providing access to articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines covering broad areas of academic study.
Arts and Humanities Full-Text This link opens in a new window A database of full-text articles on a variety of topics in the arts and humanities, including history, linguistics, performing arts, archaeology, and architecture.
Project MUSE This link opens in a new window Humanities and social sciences content. Includes journal articles from university presses and scholarly societies. Also indexes book chapters, books and more.
JSTOR This link opens in a new window Articles from scholarly journals covering the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, plus monographs and other academic materials.
MLA International Bibliography This link opens in a new window Covers literature, folklore, dramatic arts, printing, publishing, rhetoric, composition, and more. Indexes articles, book chapters and books from 1926 to the present.
Use the filtering/refining tools on the results page of a search to focus on the type of material needed for your assignment.
Assignments may also allow the use of articles in respected, fact-checked, popular periodicals. Look for articles that include thoughtful arguments and analysis. Limit your database search to Magazines or Newspapers.
Besides searching databases, one can search a specific magazine or newspaper title.
The New Yorker Prominent magazine that covers politics, literature, film, the arts and current issues.
The Economist Weekly international magazine published in London.
Harper's Magazine Culture, literature, politics.
New York Review of Books Literary publication that discusses current books and issues.
London Review of Books British literary magazine published twice monthly that features articles and essays.

Check out here what Patricia Abbott, Glen Erik Hamilton, Rob Hart, Chris Holm, David Joy, Ausma Zehanat Khan, Brian Panowich, and I had to say about favorite first novels—good recommendations from them and, of course, I’d recommend reading these authors’ own books too!
Sending good luck to all these finalists and looking forward to seeing them and celebrating with them at Bouchercon next month.
Share this:we have a FX3 board with a 16 bits interface to an image sensor.
For now, we're not able to correctly link the data from the device into FX3 via DMA transfers. There is no DMA notification nor transfer.
I guess the GPIF interface definition is not correct or maybe the socket connection. I use ones from the slave fifo sync interface adapted to our hardware. This doesn't work for now.
I've created a related case and it seems that it exists an UVC modified firmware with such an image sensor interface. I've downloaded latest available SDK but cannot find this firmware example.
So I wonder how to get an example (either slave fifo sync or UVC based) with data incoming from an external device, such as it seems to be defined in this "modified" UVC example.
There must be a UVC folder after the installation with the firmware. Please check.
UVC folder with internal memory example : YES.
UVC files with external interface GPIF definitions example : NO.
Could you post the latest example to check?Find your perfect fit on a committee or task force
