Google Docs is great until it isn’t, and storage caps may quickly have you and your business turning to other means to have more complete control over your data and the programs you need. Finding an option that combines the data storage benefits of the cloud with additional perks like virtual desktops may be key, but is it cost efficient?
Let’s investigate exactly how we ended up at our current server needs and in-turn, what exactly small businesses need to be successful.
The needs of small businesses can be broken down into a few different eras, starting at the conceptualization of servers and ending at modern-day needs. The hosting market has gone through many changes, and understanding the costs and needs of each will help paint a better picture of today’s market.
Dawn of the Server
When businesses first started needing to host their own data, whether that was documents converted from paper or the back-end of an internal email service, or even their own website, servers came to life. To launch a website in 1991 you had to have your own server, and it wasn’t until 1995 that the first web hosting businesses launched.
At this time businesses basically had to host their own servers, and some businesses still do this. Microsoft launched its first Small Business Server software in 2000, creating a way for businesses to manage emails, logins, data, and more.
To host such a server in the present, without any external hosting or support, you’ll need to purchase both a physical server and probably employ an in-house server system administrator. Here are the modern costs:
This brings the total cost of employing a server system admin, buying equipment, and paying monthly costs to about $5,500/month.
Servers Move Online
As mentioned above, it was around 1995 that the first web hosting servers were launched. But companies looking for more than hosting a website needed more storage, more power, and more options. The Windows Small Business Server launched in 2000 but required companies to manage it themselves. If you wanted to remove the need for a server system admin you had to rely on a hosting company to handle your servers for you.
This brought about a few types of services about: colocation, dedicated servers, managed servers, and web hosting. Using modern prices for these services, you can expect to pay:
Small businesses looking at this option should be aware that this is typically only for servers, not any additional programs or cloud computing software. You’ll have to load your own software onto the servers, and if you want something simple like Microsoft Office or Quickbooks available to all employees you’ll need the appropriate licenses.
Servers become Virtual
VMware first launched its software in 1999, creating a new type of computing that benefited both consumers and businesses alike. No longer did you need a computer at every desk, instead you just needed a monitor attached to the network, with all of the programs and operating systems existing on a server.
It wasn’t long until other companies started getting in on this business, realizing that small businesses and offices didn’t want to have to operate and maintain hundreds of machines when they could use virtual instances instead.
Apps4Rent launched shortly after VMware, in 2002, and helped many businesses virtualize their offices onto servers.
But the industry had no reason to stop there. Virtualization was the perfect way to allow small businesses to have as much computing power as they need, only when they need it. By combining cloud computing with virtual servers and web hosting small businesses can save both time and money.
We are finally entering a time when cloud computing is on its way to replacing physical servers, especially those needed by small businesses.
Google trend data from 2004 - present comparing “Web hosting service” and “Cloud computing”
It is easy to get oversold, especially when it comes to areas of expertise people are not often familiar with. Do you need 2, 12, or 100gbs of RAM? Is 1 quad-core CPU better than 2 duo core CPUs? Do I need the speed or an SSD for my server, or would a larger HDD be a better choice?
Small businesses need specific things, including:
Small businesses also need to mind their bottom line a bit more than larger businesses with a bit more budget leeway. Let’s compare the many ways they can launch their office off the ground floor and into the cloud.
There are a few different paths to pick from for small businesses looking to move their server needs out of the physical realm and into the cloud. Aside from the obvious benefits of speed and global access, virtual servers have the added perk of being backed up on many different storage devices making them far less prone to memory or data failure errors.
Here are two companies compared, one that offers physical servers and hosting and the other that does everything virtually.
For a business looking to host a server, create and access 5 virtual desktops with access to QuickBooks and Microsoft Office 365, and have someone else manage everything for them here are the costs for each option, per month and year (numbers are rounded estimates):
Small businesses don’t have the time or resources to waste on troubleshooting problems, and when an email server goes down that is money down the drain for every minute until it is fixed.
For businesses that have resident tech experts, they will definitely want to go the route of paying for a dedicated server and allowing the server system admin to handle creating virtual desktops, software licenses, data storage and migration, and everything else that comes with this method.
For everyone else, the easier and cheaper option will almost always be cloud hosting.
There is no reason to pay for things you aren’t using, especially in a world where computer time is so easily tracked. That is why many businesses prefer desktop as a service that helps to optimize their budget easily without spending too much on infrastructure.
This is also particularly the reason for the plans that offer per-use fees are so valuable for small businesses trying to save money and optimize their budget.
Cloud computing and cloud hosting are definitely becoming more popular with each new advancement in technology, and in the modern workplace, virtual desktops are indiscernible from their physical computer counterparts.
There is no need for everyone to have a computer, anymore, and small businesses should absolutely take advantage of cloud hosting to help improve their bottom line.

The Attic on Queen Street
Summary: Return to the house on Tradd Street one last time in this hauntingly spectacular finale to the bestselling series featuring psychic medium Melanie Trenholm.
After the devastating events of the past few months, the last thing Melanie Trenholm wants is to think about the future. Why, when her husband, Jack, has asked for a separation—a separation that might have been her fault? Nevertheless, with twin toddlers, a stepdaughter leaving for college soon, a real estate career to resume and a historic home that is still being restored, Melanie doesn’t have much time to wonder where it all went wrong—but that doesn’t stop her from trying to win her husband back.
Their relationship issues are pushed aside, however, when longtime nemesis, Marc Longo, comes to them with a proposition: allow their Tradd Street house to be used as the filming location for the movie adaptation of Marc’s bestselling book, and he will help Jack re-establish his stalled writing career. Despite Melanie’s hesitation, Jack jumps at the chance. But Melanie’s doubts soon prove to be well founded when she uncovers ulterior reasons for Marc wanting to be back in their house—reasons that include a hidden gem so brilliant that legend links it to the most infamous jewel of all, the Hope Diamond.
But Melanie has an unexpected ally in protecting the house and its inhabitants—the ghost of a Civil War era girl warns her of increasing threats to her family. But she’s not the only spirit who is haunting Melanie. A malevolent ghost seems determined to stop Melanie from investigating the decades-old murder of a friend’s sister, and this spirit will stop at nothing to protect its secrets—even from beyond the grave.
Melanie and Jack must work together to find the answers before evil spirits of past and present destroy everything they love.
Traveling With T’s Thoughts:
I found The Attic on Queen Street to be a fitting ending for the series. It didn’t leave me wanting more, it just satisfied me and ended the series in a fitting way.
Listen, it’s no secret that Melanie works my nerves. Her age obsession. Her refusal to wear glasses. Plus both her and Jack and their bordering on childish ways they deal with each other. I almost cringed when I saw they were reverting back to the “almost kiss” dialogue.
However, even though they have flaws- somehow they work together and I HAD to know how this series was going to end. Plus the mystery- I needed to know all the details to the mystery.
What I liked:
This cover. After reading a Tradd Street book, I yearn to go to Charleston!
The mystery in this book. I like a good murder mystery and this fit the bill.
The ending. I enjoyed that.
Bottom line: If you have read the series (or most of the series), you should def check out The Attic on Queen Street.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York has sparked outrage among some Irish republicans and their supporters for comparing the violent Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq to the late 20th century IRA in Northern Ireland.
“The IRA claimed to be Catholic,” Dolan said on CNN. “They were baptized. They had a Catholic identity. But what they were doing was a perversion of everything the church stood for.”
Dolan insisted that Islamic State extremists “do not represent genuine Islamic thought” but are “a particularly perverted form of Islam.”
IrishCentral published a roundup of harrumphs from republican sympathizers. Father Sean McManus, leader of the Irish National Caucus, which lobbies for the North in Congress, said Dolan’s remarks were “profoundly ignorant, totally irresponsible and lacking all credibility.”
As Religion News Service noted, “Some Catholic leaders [in Ireland, north and south] strongly denounced the IRA and sought to downplay the religious aspects of the violence, but the IRA also found support among many clergy and the faithful.”
So far no prominent Irish, Irish-American or Catholic leaders have come to Dolan’s defense. It will be interesting to see if this tempest in a teapot cools off before he leads the annual St. Patrick’s Day in New York later this month.

§ MR. HOWELL (Bethnal Green, N.E.)
I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is true, as reported in the newspapers, that the wages of certain classes of workmen are to be advanced; and whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the Statement or Memorandum of the proposed rates of pay compared with the present rates in all classes affected?
§ *LORD G. HAMILTON
The report is true, and the addition to the wages of certain classes of workmen is in the aggregate about £74,000 for the financial year ending April, 1892. As the hon. Gentleman will understand, the adjustment in all its details of any revised scale of wages affecting so many classes of workmen requires the very closest supervision before publication. In a few days I hope this task will be completed, and I will then lay on the Table of the House the Memorandum he suggests.

PITTSBURGH – A Pittsburgh woman has filed suit against Conair, saying she suffered severe burns and scarring to her back after using one of the company’s heating pads for therapeutic treatment.
Kimberly Snelsire of Pittsburgh filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on June 26 versus Conair Corporation, of East Windsor, N.J.
In or around January 2016, while using the Conair heating pad to help relieve pain in her back, the plaintiff suffered severe burns on her back. As a result of the burns, plaintiff is left with permanent scarring. These injuries are a result of the defective design of the Conair heating pad and/or a defect in its manufacture, the lawsuit says.
The suit claims Conair acted negligently in failing to design a safe product, marketing and selling the defective and dangerous heating pad and failing to warn customers of the possibility of being burned and scarred by the device. Snelsire added she expended “large sums of money for medical and surgical attention, medical and surgical supplies, medical and surgical appliances, medicines and physical therapy” in response to her injuries.
For counts of negligence, breach of warranty and strict liability, the plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $35,000, plus costs.
The plaintiff is represented by Matthew L. Kurzweg of Kurzweg Law Offices, in Pittsburgh.

Apple Slashes Vision Pro Production Plans
Recent reports have emerged, suggesting that Apple is reducing its production plans for the Vision Pro device. The hardware and manufacturing partners of Apple are reportedly cutting their forecasts for the assembly of Vision Pro devices.
Luxshare Precision Industry Co, Apple’s overseas manufacturing partner, was initially set to assemble 1 million units of the Vision Pro. However, Luxshare has now reduced its production forecast to only 400,000 units. The company had also internally expected to produce 18 million units annually in the future, indicating a significant reduction in expectations.
Moreover, two of Apple’s component manufacturing partners are also lowering their expectations. Apple is reportedly requesting enough components to produce approximately 130,000 to 150,000 units.
According to sources, Apple is facing difficulties in production due to the complexity of manufacturing the device’s micro-LED and curved, outward-facing lens. Apple has expressed dissatisfaction with its suppliers, Sony and TSMC, around the time of WWDC 2023.
In addition to production hurdles, the price of the Vision Pro has also raised concerns. A bill of materials analysis conducted by Wellsenn XR revealed that the materials used in the device cost around $1,590, less than half of the device’s price of $3,499. This discovery has led to some dismay from audiences and may have contributed to a reduction in shipment forecasts.
Despite these challenges, Apple is working with various industry partners to ensure the success of the Vision Pro. Long-time partner Luxshare is facilitating the reduced production plans, and Apple is collaborating with 11 Taiwanese firms, including Largan Precision Co, Genius Electronic Optical Co, GIS-KY, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, to deploy the Vision Pro.
Apple is also partnering with major industry suppliers such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, and Sony for the launch of the Vision Pro.
The Vision Pro is expected to be released in 2024 as a costly and enterprise-grade device. Apple is actively working on creating a robust immersive framework that supports various use cases. The device leverages spatial computing to create a 360 immersive environment and supports hand-tracking native XR applications.
Apple has also partnered with Unity to distribute developer tools and resources for content creation on the platform. Unity’s flexibility allows for easy porting of immersive applications to the VisionOS.
The Vision Pro features a custom M2 Silicon chip, Apple’s purpose-built R1 graphics processor, micro-OLED lenses with a total display resolution of 4096 x 5464 pixels, high-dynamic range (HDR), wide color gamut (WCG) outputs, and other competitive features.
While production challenges and price concerns may impact the Vision Pro’s success, Apple remains committed to delivering a top-quality immersive device to the market.

Monday August 14, 2023
Somalia and the UN agencies said Sunday they are rolling out a five-day cholera vaccination campaign in five districts targeting 590,803 people aged one year and above including pregnant mothers."Our health system might be weak and fragile but our resolve to save lives is firm and together with our trusted partners we are hopeful that this intervention will help stop the transmission of cholera and measles and save scores of precious lives," Minister of Health of Jubaland State Ismail Ahmed Garas said in the joint statement issued in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
Somalia's Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said in a joint statement that the single-dose reactive cholera vaccination campaign is being rolled out in Jubaland State, bordering Kenya and Ethiopia, classified as the Mandela triangle, from Aug. 12 to 16.
The oral cholera vaccination campaign which will be synchronized among border communities with Ethiopia and Kenya will be carried out in Afmadow, Belet Xaawo, Luuq, Doolow, and Dhobley districts.
WHO Representative to Somalia Mamunur Rahman Malik said Somalia might have averted the threat of famine but not the threat of diseases because the prolonged drought is showing a real and life-threatening impact on the lives of the people across the country and especially in the Mandela triangle.
"It's a race against time to try to prevent major outbreaks of cholera and measles. Cholera and measles can spiral out of hand in no time because of their contagious nature, therefore, we just cannot wait and see this unfolding crisis balloon out of our hands," Malik said.
He emphasized the need for a collective and timely response, noting that their collective emergency response to the global pandemic of COVID-19 is just living proof of how timely collaborative action and delivery of a high-quality and evidence-based intervention can lead to protecting the health and well-being of populations, even if the health system is fragile.
The house-to-house campaign will be implemented by 788 vaccination teams each composed of two vaccinators -- a data clerk, and a cold chain attendant, the health ministry said.
The WHO and UNICEF and other partners are supporting the Federal Ministry of Health and Human Services and the State Ministry of Health of Jubaland State to conduct the campaign.
Since 2017, Somalia has witnessed uninterrupted cholera outbreaks because of the large number of people having poor access to safe water and sanitation services, and natural hazards, including drought and floods, further exacerbated by protracted conflict and large-scale population displacement.

She gazes at the viewer, her face showing a wisp of a smile that seems to have been coaxed from off-camera. In just over seven months, the model has become an online phenomenon. According to the posted schedule, new photographs of her — many clearly intended to be erotic, all supposedly taken that week — are posted online every Friday for her growing legions of admirers. Sparkle is one of hundreds of children being photographed by adults, part of what appears to be the latest trend in online child exploitation: Web sites for pedophiles offering explicit, sexualized images of children who are covered by bits of clothing — all in the questionable hope of allowing producers, distributors and customers to avoid child pornography charges. In recent months, an array of investigations of the child pornography business — by the Justice Department, state and local law enforcement and Congress — have contributed to wholesale shutdowns of some of the most sexually explicit Internet sites trafficking in child images. But they have been rapidly replaced by a growing number of these so-called model sites, Internet locations that offer scores of original photographs of scantily clad under-age children like Sparkle, often posed in ways requested by subscribers. More than of the sites have been found by The New York Times through online advertising aimed at pedophiles, and a vast majority focus mostly on one child.

This research was to look at contemporary as well as historic artists who work on the face in different ways. Use my research to inspire my own experiments. Look at the reading lists well as other sources and make notes on what I find in my learning log.
I was to look at the two different approaches of Graham Little and Elizabeth Peytons image Daniel who both used colour to draw the face in a painterly manner and make notes of what I found in my learning log.
I think the similarity of Graham Little and Elizabeth Peytons approach to the depiction of the face stops at the painterly colour and the fact both artist do use paint. Elizabeth Peytons David was actually painted with watercolour and synthetic polymer paint. However the paint was used more like the blocking of colour when using pastels. On the other hand Graham Little who uses Goache with coloured pencils, has a much finer technique giving an almost porcelain look to his figures the feature finely depicted rather like using oil.
I was asked to look at other artists who work on the face and I looked at many, too many for this Research. The face has been depicted in many medias and methods over the years, from abstract to photo realism, monotone, to full colour, and from detailed to loose in style. The artists I looked at mainly held my interest because they are a style I appreciate, or would like to emulate.
From the historic artists, I chose two artist of the many I like, that have enough difference to be of interest:-
Leonardo Da Vinci:-
I have used him before and he is one of my all time heros, I love his detailed drawings, both delicate, full of detail, each mark placed is there for a reason, nothing more nothing less. I have a tendency to overwork and appreciate this style of detail and suggestion.
Again we have detail within the drawings but the studies seem to be less technical and more loose in fashion. This doesnt take away the beauty or the skill involved in depicting his subject. I really like Degas and can see why he wanted to be known as a realist, his paintings are real, from real life with enough detail to be removed from impressionism.
For my contemporary choice, I went with three very different artists, two are well known but maybe not seen as politically correct in my choice, however I thing they both show a very different way of working.
His works are lively and varied in mark width length and application, using Conte and Pastel in a loose but detailed way. His drawings make me feel like they are made with speed and great passion, they shout the emotion he is trying to portray. His found surfaces give a completion to his pictures in a way I find difficult to emulate.
I love his work, especially his mixed media work. His style is real but loose. His work is delicately made with detail very much suggested. The mood although not deployed in the energized way of Guy Denning, is palpable. The gentler sexes face portrayed in a romantic and dreamy manner, with the softness of watercolour, the detail helped along by his use of mark and line. He gives me the feeling the painted are waiting in anticipation of the return of a love one, or the memory of a lost love. There is much less aggression with his application of his media, but nevertheless you can feel what his subjects are feeling.
I wanted to add Andre Kohn as his drawings are tonal and linear, expressive and gentle. He has a very mixed approach with his mark application but his drawings possess expression, without aggression. His paintings to me feel different from his drawings, but he seems to draw with paint, detail being hinted at, tone giving a suggestion of, texture giving life. His work to me covers various ways in which to depict his subjects faces.

Making the Switch to Whole Foods and Fresh Produce
Why Make the Switch to Whole Foods and Fresh Produce?
When you make the switch to whole foods and fresh produce, you’re making a conscious choice to invest in your health and well-being. Whole foods are those that are minimally processed and contain the most nutrients. Fresh produce, on the other hand, is free from preservatives and provides a plethora of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants that nourish your body.
The Benefits of Eating Whole Foods and Fresh Produce
has numerous benefits. For one, it can help you lose weight. Whole foods and fresh produce have fewer calories than processed foods, which can help you maintain a healthy weight. They are also rich in fiber, which helps keep you fuller for longer, reducing cravings and overeating.
Consuming whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts can also reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. This is because whole foods are packed with essential nutrients that protect your body from free radicals and inflammation, which can damage your cells and contribute to disease.
How to Start Making the Switch
can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re used to processed foods. However, it’s important to start small and gradually make changes. Start by incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet, and try to limit processed snacks and drinks. Shop around the perimeter of the grocery store, where the fresh produce and whole foods are typically located.
Incorporating whole foods and fresh produce into your diet doesn’t have to be boring or bland. Experiment with new recipes and flavors to keep your meals interesting and enjoyable. As you start to feel the benefits, you’ll notice that making the switch was well worth the effort.
Incorporating Lean Protein and Healthy Fats into Your Diet
Choosing the right kinds of protein and fats for your diet is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating lean protein and healthy fats into your meals can help you feel fuller for longer and can even support weight loss.
When choosing lean protein sources, look for options like chicken, fish, tofu, and beans. These options are low in saturated and trans fats, making them a healthier choice for your heart and overall well-being. Plus, lean protein can be a great source of important vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins.
Meanwhile, there are several healthy fats that you should consider including in your diet as well. These can be found in foods like salmon, avocado, nuts, and olive oil. Consuming the right kinds of healthy fats can help improve cholesterol levels in your body, can reduce inflammation, and can even help improve brain function.
When incorporating these foods into your diet, be mindful of your portion sizes. It’s easy to overdo it on protein and fats and consume more calories than your body needs. Consider speaking with a nutritionist or healthcare professional to determine the right amount of protein and fat for your individual needs.
can be a simple process. Get creative with your meals by experimenting with different protein and fat sources to keep your taste buds interested. With the right balance of these nutrients, you’ll be on your way to a healthier and happier lifestyle.
Mindful Eating: Listen to Your Body and Savor Every Bite
Importance of Mindful Eating
In our busy, fast-paced lives, we often neglect the importance of mindful eating. Mindful eating means being present and fully engaged in the process of consuming food. It involves listening to your body’s signals and eating slowly, in tune with your body’s natural rhythm. By practicing mindful eating, you can enjoy your meals more fully and develop a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food.
Savor Every Bite
Mindful eating invites you to savor every bite of food, taking the time to fully appreciate its taste, texture, and aroma. It also means being aware of how your body responds to different foods and making conscious choices about what to eat. It can be a powerful tool in reducing overeating, as it allows you to cultivate a greater sense of fullness and satisfaction.
Listen to Your Body
One of the key elements of mindful eating is listening to your body’s signals. This means paying close attention to hunger cues, such as stomach growling, and eating only when your body is truly hungry. It also involves tuning in to your body’s fullness signals, such as feeling satisfied and content, and stopping eating when you’ve had enough.
In conclusion, mindful eating is a practice that invites us to slow down, stay present, and savor every bite of food we consume. By tuning in to our body’s signals, we can develop a healthier relationship with food as well as enjoy meals more fully. Practicing mindful eating can be a simple yet powerful tool in developing a deeper connection to our bodies and our food.
Healthy Habits: Planning Meals, Snacks, and Eating Out
One of the best healthy habits that you can develop is planning your meals in advance. By doing this, you can ensure that you are eating a well-balanced diet and can avoid making impulsive food choices. You can plan your meals for the week or even just for the day but make sure to factor in foods from all food groups – grains, fruits, vegetables, proteins, and dairy.
While snacking can be healthy, it’s important to choose the right kinds of snacks. Avoid unhealthy options like chips, candy, and soda. Instead, go for fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. These healthier options will help you stay full and focused throughout the day. Additionally, if you plan to snack, it’s important to keep portion sizes in mind to avoid overeating.
When eating out, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re ordering. Research your options beforehand and look for menu items that are healthier or can be modified. Additionally, try to watch your portion sizes and choose foods that are baked, grilled, or steamed instead of fried. You can also try sharing a meal with someone else to cut down on portion sizes. Lastly, don’t be afraid to ask for modifications or substitutions to make your meals healthier.
Staying Consistent and Motivated on Your Healthy Eating Journey
1. Set achievable goals – The first step in is to set yourself achievable goals. If you try to change everything at once, you may feel overwhelmed and give up. Start with small changes and work your way up to bigger ones. Maybe start with cutting out sugary drinks or incorporating more vegetables into your meals.
2. Plan ahead – Planning your meals ahead of time is key to sticking to a healthy eating plan. Take some time at the beginning of each week to plan your meals and snacks. This will help you avoid impulse purchases and reaching for unhealthy snacks when you’re hungry.
3. Get creative – Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring. Experiment with new recipes and try different types of cuisines to keep your meals interesting. You may even find some new favorite dishes that are both healthy and delicious.
4. Find a support system – Having a support system can help keep you accountable and motivated. Share your goals with friends or family members who have similar health goals. Joining a support group or working with a registered dietitian may also be helpful.
5. Practice self-compassion – Remember that healthy eating is a journey and it’s okay to have setbacks. Be kind to yourself and focus on progress, not perfection. Celebrate small victories and don’t beat yourself up over slip-ups. With consistency and motivation, you can reach your healthy eating goals.

Etihad Rail has announced the launch of the UAE National Rail Network, an ambitious project spanning 900 kilometers that will link the seven emirates with their main railways. The trunk line runs from Al-Guwifat on the Saudi border to the northern emirate of Fujairah.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, witnessed the inauguration of the national railway network at the network’s main control and maintenance center in Al Fayah, Abu Dhabi.
Hailing the key achievement, Sheikh Mohamed said the national rail network is a major milestone in the UAE’s development history and an ambitious project that will help strengthen the country’s readiness for the future.
“We are proud of the performance of our sons and daughters who have worked hard over the years to build an ambitious strategic project that will drive our national economy to the next level. Connecting the UAE through the national rail network strengthens our capabilities and competitiveness, And strengthened our unity,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
The ambitious development is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the region and aims to connect the seven emirates to the main rail network.
Etihad Rail said that while freight train operations are fully operational in all emirates, passengers wanting to travel on the rails will still have to wait for some time.
Announcing the milestone, Sheikh Theab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Etihad Rail, said: “With the support of the UAE leadership, Emirati talents have turned the dream of our Founding Fathers into reality. Thanks to them, We have won the bet and we have successfully launched a railway network of international specifications that stretches some 900 kilometers across the emirate.”
This network helps to support the company’s business and increase investment opportunities. He pointed out that the backbone of the UAE’s national railway network, which runs from Guwait at the border of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Fujairah, forms an important part of the global supply network.
Sheikh Theyab has also launched freight train operations across the UAE, with a fleet of 38 locomotives and over 1,000 wagons capable of transporting a wide range of cargo.
He added: “Without the cohesion of our talented Emirati cadre, it would not have been possible to complete the network on schedule and within the approved budget.”
It was a massive project involving 11 contractors, 25 consultants and 28,000 specialists who worked 133 million man-hours on the project and received 40,000 approvals from 180 government agencies.
Over 1,000 operational documents have been produced, including instructions, manuals, guidelines, policies, operating procedures, protocols, and more.
The first phase of the network was fully operational in January 2016 and the second phase of the project started in early 2020.
The railway network traverses various geographical terrains, in a large-scale engineering program that includes the construction of 593 bridges and crossings of various types and 9 tunnels with a length of 6.5 kilometers.
According to Etihad Rail, 120 million cubic meters will be required to complete the excavation work to ensure maximum vehicular traffic flow under the rail network tracks.
The most modern freight train fleet in the region includes 38 locomotives with an annual freight capacity of 60 million tons and more than 1,000 multipurpose vehicles.
Each freight locomotive has 4,500 horsepower, equivalent to 3,400 kilowatts. It is one of the most powerful freight train engines in the Middle East.-TradeArabia News Service

Chris Brown was feeling generous once again late last night. The Pop R&B star unveiled not one, but two new songs, no April Fools, as he said. The first drop titled “Oh Yeah,” produced by Drumma Boy, is a catchy, melodic rap/sung mid-tempo, in which Breezy finds a new piece of eye-candy in the club, as he convinces her to go home for a nightcap.
Before letting go of the second joint, Brown tweeted, “Since we are #1 I’m releasing another free song! Just finished this too!” Another Drumma Boy production titled “See It Through.” The 22-year old singer/rapper once again flexes both skills, however this time shows some vulnerability telling the story of a crush that doesn’t show him the same affection, and leaves him brokenhearted.
Listen to both new songs now below!

Lecithin is one of the richest natural sources of Choline and Insitol.
Lecithin is an important nutrient when it comes to maintaining healthy brain function. Choline is transformed into Acetycholine, a brain chemical vital for the transmission of messages between the brain cells.
Lecithin is a fat like substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden.
Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain.
Lecithin is composed mostly of B Vitamins, Phosphoric Acid, Choline, Linoleic Acid and Inositol. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier.
These Lecithin Granules are of the highest quality, containing no additives. They are guaranteed to be produced from non-GM soya beans grown from certified IP (Identity Preserved) seeds and are tested for absence of genetically modified DNA.
Unlike many other health food supplement manufacturers, Hellenia is a family company and has been formulating and supplying quality health food supplements in the UK for nearly thirty years. ISO 9001 Standard.

Breaking | Buhari Accepts Resignation of Women Affairs Minister
Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Alhassan Jumai Aisha.
President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledged the abdication of Mrs Aisha Alhassan as Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development from the legislature with prompt impact.
Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, affirmed this in an announcement in Abuja on Sunday.
In a letter he marked on Sunday, President Buhari stated,
“I have gotten your letter offering your abdication as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I acknowledge your acquiescence with prompt impact.
“For the benefit of the administration and individuals of Nigeria, I thank you for your past administrations to the country.”
The presidential associate uncovered that the president had coordinated that Hajiya Aisha Abubakar, the Minister of State, Industry, Trade and Investment to manage the undertakings of the Ministry with prompt impact.
Aisha Alhassan had on Saturday reported her renunciation from President Muhammadu Buhari’s bureau and from the decision All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alhassan pivoted her acquiescence on her preclusion in the screening for the 2019 Taraba state governorship challenge by the APC National Working Committee.
She said she was chopped out with no feasible or certifiable reason.
“On the off chance that I am bad enough to challenge decisions in the APC, at that point I believe I am not additionally fit the bill to remain a pastor in the APC government,” she expressed.

PolitiFact: Keys to staying out of poverty are many
Take a few steps, Barry Smitherman said, and you won’t live in poverty.
Smitherman, seeking the 2014 Republican nomination for Texas attorney general, put his point this way in prepared remarks for an August appearance before the Texas Alliance for Life: “Several years ago, the Economist magazine published a piece which said that you only have to do three things to guarantee that you will live above the poverty line — graduate from high school, keep your first job for over one year, get married and stay married.”
To our request for elaboration, Smitherman, who chairs the Texas Railroad Commission, didn’t come up with the magazine story. But his campaign consultant, Allen Blakemore, told us by email that Smitherman was referring to a 2003 report, “Work and Marriage; The Way to End Poverty and Welfare,” by Isabel Sawhill and Ron Haskins, senior fellows at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C., think tank.
The pair’s September 2003 paper spelled out differences between poor and “nonpoor” Americans — specifically that low-income people either do not work or work too few hours to move their families out of poverty and are more likely to be unmarried, lack a high school diploma and have more than two children.
Based on data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau and “simple modeling,” the paper concluded that if all non-elderly and nondisabled family heads worked at least full-time, people living in poverty would drop by more than 5 percentage points, from 13 to 7.5 percent.
Or if the same proportion of children lived in female-headed families in 2001 as in 1970, the poverty rate among families with children would decrease by 3.5 percentage points, to 9.5 percent.
Or if every family head had at least a high school education and earned at least as much as high school graduates normally receive, the poverty rate among families with children would drop nearly two percentage points, to 11.1 percent.
Or if families had no more than two children, enjoying the same income with fewer mouths to feed, the poverty rate among families with children would shrink by 1.7 percentage points, to 11.3 percent.
Finally, the paper said, if each condition were assumed sequentially — such that heads of households kept full-time hours, were married, graduated high school and had no more than two children — the poverty rate would ultimately be 3.7 percent. “Thus, the poverty rate among families with children could be lowered by 71 percent,” the paper said.
That’s dramatic, but it’s no “guarantee,” which is what Smitherman said.
Haskins and Sawhill made a statement like the one noted by Smitherman in their 2009 book, “Creating an Opportunity Society.” The authors wrote that Americans “who finish high school, work full time and marry before having children are virtually guaranteed a place in the middle class. Only about 2 percent of this group ends up in poverty. Conversely, about three-fourths of those who have done none of these three things are poor in any given year.”
In another part of the book, the authors said that working full-time is the most powerful factor. And the authors noted that in 2007, the national unemployment rate was running at a low 4.6 percent. They wrote, then, that their analysis was “primarily relevant to the kinds of opportunities that exist in a full-employment economy, not to the kind of economy we entered in 2008,” a reference to the national recession.
So, the virtual guarantee holds only if the economy is roaring?
Sawhill told us that this caveat was important. “The poverty rate has risen from 12.5 to 15 percent as a result of the recession,” Sawhill said. “Put differently, it’s a lot harder to find full-time work now so it’s a lot harder to stay out of poverty.”
She said the virtual “guarantee” doesn’t apply when times are tough.
Still, Sawhill said, Smitherman’s statement fit the “spirit of what we argued,” while having some inaccuracies. The three key factors, she said, were graduating from high school, “working full-time for a year (not in your first job) and being at least 21 and married before you had children.”
Finally, with help from the Economist, we found mention of Sawhill and Haskins and their “three rules” for success in an April 15, 2010, article in the magazine on social mobility.
Our ruling: We didn’t pinpoint exactly what Smitherman saw in the Economist. But we did find some research supporting most, but not all, of his points. Significantly, the authors stressed the economy would need to be strong for their hypothetical to fully work; that is, no roaring economy, no guarantee.
We rate Smitherman’s claim as Half True.


The Megger digital low resistance ohmmeter was designed to accurately gage resistance as low as 0.1 micro-ohms. For practical, easy, and consistent tests to check low resistance, the digital low resistance ohmmeter (DLRO) is said to be the perfect instrument.
Megger DLRO-10 and DLRO-10X are fully automatic devices and have the capacity to show precise outcome in just three seconds. Also to keep away the test model from heating up, it has power limitation of 250 mW. It is designed in such a way that the link in the existing and prospective connections can be easily identified. As it may be hazardous to test current, the Megger meterclearly displays caution about the presence of high voltage, and also about the current passing in the instrument being used for the experiment. In fact, the DLRO-10X has the option of manually selecting maximum and minimum power as per the consumer’s settings. This ohmmeter can be applied to airline frame links, circuit and lever breakers, pipeline, and rail links, etc.
The low resistance ohmmeter is easily available and if you want to rent it, you can contact us as we not only offer Megger test equipment rental but also provide technical assistance to our customers for choosing the correct device to perfectly suit their purpose.

One of the advantages of being a Business Analytics consultant, is that you rarely know what a feasible solution looks like until you have taken the time to truly understand your client’s business, strategy and culture. This applies to financial performance management (including financial reporting, planning and customer profitability modeling), just as it does to predictive and prescriptive analytics problems which may not always directly impinge on the Office of Finance.
It is an advantage because it is always fascinating, and allows you to combine business knowledge and technical expertise with social skills, emotional intelligence and creativity.
As computer systems move from tackling well defined automation problems (like managing accounting transactions, customer order processing etc.) to the fuzzier world of Business Analytics (“give the right people the right information, at the right time!”), traditional non-agile approaches to the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) used by software engineers simply do not work because they pre-suppose that you can begin by defining clear requirements.
That is not to say that analysis, planning and design are not good, and necessary, activities. On the contrary! But in order to be truly successful, any analytics system must be dynamic, flexible and more of a tool that can be wielded effectively by a business user. The key is to use a tool that is flexible enough to deliver value, while still providing enough structure and security to be trustworthy.
In today’s business world, Excel has emerged as the premier tool used for this purpose, even though it is well known that the over use of spreadsheets brings substantial risks. Famous recent examples range from scandals in high finance (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2013/02/13/microsofts-excel-might-be-the-most-dangerous-software-on-the-planet/) to discredited economic analyses (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/19/opinion/krugman-the-excel-depression.html?_r=0).
And yet the fact that it persists proves that it serves a very real need. The article (http://www.theiia.org/intAuditor/itaudit/archives/2006/january/the-role-of-spreadsheets-in-todays-corporate-climate/) says it well: .. it is rare for one software application to support an organization's entire gamut of finance-related activities and needs. In addition, because organizations change over time, gaps exist between a company's business needs and a system's capacity to fulfill them. Consequently, many companies rely on spreadsheets to help fill these gaps.
So let’s talk about “Build vs. Buy” decisions in Business Analytics. If you cannot begin by defining clear detailed requirements for (say) your financial planning model, including (say) how you plan to implement allocations – in detail - two years from now, how can you even begin to evaluate pre-built products on the market to establish which will work best?
And let us not be derailed by the argument that such systems are “configurable”. “Configurable” means one of three things:
- There is a limited number of ways in which it may be configurable, so you need to be very sure of what you want – at a detailed level – to make sure it is configurable in all the degrees of freedom that you need now, and in the future. Which brings you back to that pesky requirements question.
- “Configurable” may mean that with excessive coding, a specialist can bypass or dismantle pre-built functionality to accommodate your needs. This is the worst of all worlds: you end up with something overly complicated (because it includes both the original code and your unique custom overrides), and likely difficult and expensive to maintain. Furthermore, the cost of every successive customization as your business needs change increases over time.
- “Configurable” may mean that it is in fact custom built from scratch, in which case you are really buying a tool and building your own solution, which we are arguing is in fact the most practical and cost effective approach – provided what you end up with continues to be configurable as things change over time.
Fortunately there are Business Analytics tools on the market today that can flexibly be deployed to serve a company’s analytics needs by empowering the business user, while still providing security, auditability, structure and controls.
As Business Analytics specialists and an award winning IBM Business Partner, QueBIT’s toolkit includes IBM Cognos TM1, IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (“BI”), IBM SPSS and R. With the right tools (and we concede that these are not the only ones!) and a common sense agile implementation strategy we help customers get closer and closer to the ideal of giving “the right people the right information, at the right time!”.
This is not a pure “Build vs. Buy” decision of course, as you have to buy the tools. But once you have the tools, you gain these advantages, in addition to having a great system:
- When the business is engaged with the tool, the results will be so much better. The problem with most IT requirements gathering is that a lot is lost in translation, and sometimes the business cannot articulate exactly what they need until they have started using it.
- A flexible tool like IBM Cognos TM1 is like a “better” Excel: all the same benefits (and more) plus controls, auditability, power and secure data management.
- Good tools will always have open interfaces for getting data in and out from other systems. The issue of whether a pre-built “out of the box” system will “integrate” with some other system goes away. For example we have deployed the IBM offerings that we work with (TM1, BI and SPSS) for customers looking for Sales and Operations Planning systems that integrate financial modeling (sales forecasting in TM1) with predictive modeling (demand predictions using statistical techniques in SPSS) and a rich visual dashboard (BI), for a fraction of the cost of pre-built systems, but with the additional benefit that it can be extended, or integrated with other systems on the platform. In particular the real time integration of the predictive demand planning model with financials is very powerful.
- The same tools can be used for new applications, and each new implementation becomes easier and more cost effective as you gain in-house experience and expertise. QueBIT’s CARE methodology actively promotes our customers’ development of in-house expertise because we believe that it leads to better and more business in the long run.
What do you think? Are you willing to change your analytics requirements to match the design of a pre-built model if it will cost a lot less, or do you see rich advanced analytics as a source of significant competitive advantage?

Rain and such
Photo credit: bella_domanie from morguefile.com
I've always loved the rain. Dreary landscapes and moldering, mossy earth.
I wonder why? It isn't that I don't respect the sunshine on my face, or blue skies, or a soft wind through hazy green leaves.
I simply prefer the gloom.
I write better when it rains. I feel contained and wild all at the same time. My nose presses against the window to see the doomed raindrop rivers pool together on the sill. The landscape goes all impressionistic.
See, I'm wasting it.
Off to write.
*notes: I'm deep in a project so I've been posting and commenting less. Thanks for sticking with me. AND my one sentence experiment was a hit. Next time I'll make a sentence string and we'll write a story together.*


Isaac Coffey shut down UNO through eight innings, and Oral Roberts shut out the Mavericks 9-0 in their home finale Sunday.
The Golden Eagles' Sunday starter gave up two hits, struck out six and walked none UNO was unable to get any offense going for the second straight day at Anderson Field. Oral Roberts (33-16, 15-6 Summit League) won 2-0 Saturday after the Mavs took Friday's series opener 7-2.
The Golden Eagles got all the offense they would need on the second pitch of the game.
Jake McMurray hit a leadoff home run off Charlie Bell, then UNO went down in order in four of the first five innings.
In the bottom of the third, Eddie Satisky was hit by a pitch and Devin Hurdle followed with a single to give UNO runners on first and second with no outs. But two strikeouts and a lineout ended the threat.
Bell, meanwhile, kept the Mavs in the game by striking out six through five innings. But ORU plated five runs in the sixth, highlighted by a two-run triple off the bat of Joshua Cox that knocked Bell out of the game.

Now when visiting Korea, you can enjoy downloading a full-feature 120 minutes length movie in around 12 seconds, as long as you are visiting after 2012, Far East Gizmos reports.
Of course, the 1gbps speeds are only available via a wired connection, but wireless connections will be able to get up to 10mbps. The aim of the improvement of the broadband infrastructure is to give users access to streaming, seamless access to high-quality IPTV services. The Korean government is investing W34 trillion into the proposed upgrade, or around $720,526,406 USD.
The super-speed broadband will be available in most, if not all, large cities but Koreans in rural towns can still get speeds of up to 50mbps to 100mbps, allowing them to still enjoy streaming media without any issues.
This improvement may lead to other countries catching on, and bulking up internet speeds also.

The numbers were so staggering, it's no wonder Carmel running back Sean Lees said the scoreboard looked like "a Gameboy control gone wild."
Carmel and Marian Catholic scored the third-most points in an Illinois high school game since 1944 during Carmel's 73-55 victory last Friday in Chicago Heights.
"It was just a crazy game," said Lees, who scored on a 90-yard kickoff return and a 55-yard run. "We had 45 points at halftime and knew we had to score some more."
The teams combined to score six touchdowns in the first quarter, including John Brennan's 84-yard punt return for Carmel and Derrick Middleton's 75-yard run for Marian Catholic.
In one first-half sequence, Carmel (3-0) scored five TDs despite running only three offensive plays.
It started with Brennan's punt return. A Corsairs' interception return set up Jim Potempa's 2-yard TD run three plays later. Geoffrey Fields scooped up a blocked punt and ran 26 yards for TD No. 3. Ryan Williams returned a fumble 24 yards for another score. After Middleton's long TD run, Lees ran back the ensuing kickoff.
Marian Catholic's Aaron Evans scored on a 93-yard kickoff return and a 71-yard pass play in a fourth quarter that also had six TDs.
Both teams combined for 18 touchdowns and 920 yards of total offense. The Corsairs and Spartans finished with more than 1,600 all-purpose yards.
"It was fun being able to score so many points," Lees said. "It seemed like someone was scoring every two seconds. Our defense actually made them punt seven times."
Carmel coach Andy Bitto knew scoring wouldn't be a problem with nine returning starters on offense.
"But I still couldn't believe it, scoring in so many different ways," Bitto said.
Carmel will line up its 53-points-per-game attack opposite Notre Dame (3-0) on Friday night.
"We've got such a balanced backfield with me, Potempa, Brennan and [David] Venegoni in our triple option," Lees said. "It's hard to come up with a scheme to stop them."
