In the last few years, cloud computing and its services have gained both interest and momentum in the business community. As IBM puts it, although cloud computing is only a different way to deliver computer resources, rather than a new technology, it has sparked a revolution in the way organizations provide information and service. There are several reasons why many businesses are considering cloud services, including lower capital expenses, lower maintenance costs, dynamic scalability, going green, better utilization of human and computer resources and more. There are also several reasons why businesses are hesitant about utilizing cloud services, the primary being concerns over security and privacy.
Cloud Computing and Business Value
Cloud computing, at least on the fundamental level, is almost as easy as flipping a switch. Companies can sign up, flip a switch, and they're up and running with zero upfront investment. Are they going to invest nearly as much attention on governing these processes? Given that the ROI in both cases is the same (your organization's future growth), they should be treated the same, but that isn't usually the case. One of the factors that appeals to consumers of cloud computing services is the benefit of variable costs. With a variable cost basis, organizations can take more risks. If cloud computing or a particular project that uses cloud services doesn't work out, they can close the relationship/unsubscribe from the service at any time. It's a lot less risky than investing in capital and acquiring infrastructure or licenses and having to keep them, when they are no longer needed. Consider a team within an organization that needs powerful infrastructure for a POC (Proof-Of-Concept)
Types of cloud service delivery models and their uses
• The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is used to offer storage and compute resources that IT developers and organizations utilizes to deliver custom business solutions.
• The Platform as a Service (PaaS) is used to offer development environments that IT organizations can utilizes to construct cloud-ready business applications.
• The Software as a Service (SaaS) is used to offer purpose-built business applications.
Above mentioned three major categories can be subcategorized to be more specific:
* Storage as a Service
* Database as a Service
* Information as a Service
* Application as a Service
* Integration as a Service
* Security as a Service
* Testing as a Service
Steps to Successful Adoption of Cloud
The cloud has taken much of the world by storm, although there are still valid concerns over security and valid questions over even its cost saving benefits. Cloud computing may sound like the next best thing since sliced bread, and perhaps it could be just right for you. But don't dive in without doing your homework, unless the risk is so small that you don't really care.
Strategy: Does your cloud strategy align business needs/goals with IT capabilities?
Process: Are your processes streamlined and automated to support cloud computing?
Skills: Is your staff skilled and trained to support cloud adoption in your organization?
Architecture: What should you be aware of when architecting and deploying infrastructure for cloud?
Alignment: What is needed to ensure accountability and policy follow-through for stakeholder collaboration?
Cloud Security Concerns
While several companies have jumped on the cloud computing bandwagon, there have been several concerns voiced against cloud computing. These concerns are mostly in the areas of security and privacy. However there is also a positive side of security & privacy while moving to cloud. As an example, it is a well known fact that IT administrators are one of the weakest links in any organization as far as security is concerned. They are always a soft target to be trapped in social engineering that resulted in frauds. In lack of security controls there are numerous occasions where an insider IT personal found involved in malicious activities. In that kind of scenarios cloud could be a safe bid for businesses. An interesting research released by Microsoft indicates that 35 percent of U.S. companies surveyed have experienced noticeably higher levels of security since moving to the cloud. In addition, 32 percent say they spend less time worrying about the threat of cyber attacks. U.S. SMBs using the cloud also spend 32 percent less time each week managing security than companies not using the cloud. They are also five times more likely to have reduced what they spend on managing security as a percentage of overall IT budget.
There could be different expert opinions related to this new trend. Some of them call it future of IT services and some are of opinion that buzz around cloud computing is nothing but just an over-hype. It could be anything but all surveys and researches are indicating that enterprises have started at least thinking about adopting it in some form or other and from IT service providers’ purview, no one of them wants to miss this dollar opportunity.

The Lady Justice known as Maat was returned to the dome of the madison County Courthouse just in time for the Courthouse Centennial Celebration this month.
The Centennial of the Madison County Courthouse is scheduled to begin on Tuesday evening September 22, at 7:30 pm at Madison Hall in Morrisville. Madison Hall was the former Madison County Courthouse and will sport for the night special historical displays including societies, artifacts and a historical presentation by some of Madison County former “famous” residents.
The evening will also debut a documentary on the historic 170th Madison county Fair done by Avi Das of Colgate Upstate Institutes summer intern program. Refreshments will be served and the evening is free and open to the public.
The Courthouse Centennial Celebration in Wampsville is set for Wednesday, September 23rd, will feature not only tours of the Courthouse designed by famous architect J. Riley Gordon, but displays on the courthouse’s history. Refreshments will be served and there will be a special postal cancellation to commemorate this very special event.
The documentary on the Fair will be playing continuously in the lobby of Building 4, which will host the 3rd Annual Archives Day. The atrium of the building will be completely filled with displays of the newest documents found during the extensive Archives Project which started in 2007 and is continuing on currently.
New among the documents are many interesting court cases handled by the different judges of Madison County including James Warren Nye. As a special feature the new portrait of Judge James Warren Nye will be hung in the Courtroom in a place of honor with some of the other famous men of Madison County including Peter Smith, John Wesley Coe and many others. Nye was a judge who presided over many of the Loomis Gang trials and Loomis paperwork will also be out for view. Nye went on to become the first Governor of Nevada, and was one of the senators who heard the arguments for Andrew Johnson’s impeachment.
The Courthouse display will also feature the large oil portraits of some of the county’s early judges that Madison County is seeking funding to restore. These huge portraits hung for many years at both the Madison County Courthouse in Morrisville, today’s Madison Hall, and later in the current Courthouse in Wampsville.

Leave Your Waterpot
By Linda Gray
The woman then left her waterpot… John 4:28 NKJV
I have read the account of the Woman at the Well in John 4:4-30 countless times. And each time, I find a new nugget that I have never seen before. This happened as I was reading my daily devotional. Although, what I saw this time wasn’t part of the devotional topic.
The phrase, “The woman left her waterpot” really stood out to me. It truly was an “ah ha” moment. I began to see this “divine appointment” in a new light. Verse 4 set the stage. Jesus had to pass through Samaria.
Let’s take a look at this woman and what the waterpot meant to her. She took it with her when she performed her daily chore of drawing water. She depended upon it to carry the fresh water from the well to her dwelling place.
Then she encounters Jesus. He asks her for a drink of water. A simple request from a thirsty traveler, becomes a complicated discourse between them. She is truly taken aback. He was a Jewish man and she was a Samaritan. She had heard from childhood that Jews hated Samaritans. Add to this the gender issue. Men and women didn’t speak to each other in public. Maybe she saw His “brazen” request as an advance. Afterall, she had a “reputation.” And she lived up to it with five husbands in her past—not to mention, her current live-in lover.
Maybe she held her waterpot a little closer as a defense mechanism against this strange Jewish man. He mentions “living water” to her. She points out that He has nothing with which to get the water and she doesn’t offer her vessel. She is definitely uncomfortable, but intrigued. She reveals her intelligence while trying to change the subject. She learned at her mother’s knee about Jacob and the importance of the well at which they were sitting. She even knew that the promise of the Messiah included her people. Who was this man?
Then further into their conversation, He reveals to her that He is the Messiah. She quickly forgets about her valuable waterpot and goes into the village to spread the news. If she had taken that heavy pot with her, it would have only slowed her down. But she held nothing back. She no longer hid behind that pot. She left her comfort zone to share with others about the man who told her everything she had done. She wasn’t even concerned about what the men would think of her.
This made me ask some questions, “Am I holding onto something that is hindering me from sharing the Gospel? Do I need to venture out of my comfort zone in order to be used more effectively for God? Am I worried about what others will think of me?”
The times I have let go of my waterpot and allowed God to take me out of my comfort zone, I grow. I can look back and see where God gave me the strength, ability, and energy to carry out what He asked me to do. The Samaritan woman gained courage to share with the men in the village. She had found what her soul longed for—Living Water. And she was anxious to share with all who would listen.
Father, I place whatever may be hindering me from sharing the Gospel with others at Your feet. I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and go wherever You lead. Amen.

Ghana Armwrestling Federation (GAF) president Charles Osei Asibey has justified why Congress of the Ghana Olympic Committee shot down a proposal to extend the mandate of the Ghana Olympic Committee board.
Ben Nunoo Mensah, the Ghana Olympic Committee president, tabled a motion before the General Assembly of last Tuesday’s Annual Congress held at the Theodosia Okoh Hockey Stadium to have elections in August 2021 after the Olympic Games instead of March 2021.
Congress did not approve with 28-23 votes.
Nunoo Mensah said an extension would have helped the GOC to focus on athletes preparation, games logistics and accreditation but the majority at Congress with contrary opinion shot the proposal down.
Osei Asibey argued the extension would have been unconstitutional and unjustified.
He added that an approval would have led to mistrust and instability and a precedence that cannot be managed in future.
Osei Asibey told Congress that the GOC ”is an institution and that the systems and structure put in place must be made to work without depending on individuals.”
He indicated that the national federations are responsible for athletes preparation and that no matter who is in charge at the GOC the preparation will proceed. So far 4 athletes (2 from boxing and 2 from athletics) have qualified and the GOC played no role so far in their preparation.
Furthermore the IOC/LOC manages the accreditation system whilst logistics is handled by government with liaison by the GOC so a change in leadership will not affect Ghana’s participation in the Olympics when proper transition is managed.
Osei Asibey reiterated that in the wake of the Coronavirus global pandemic , the United States, Ghana and many other countries have held successful national elections whilst the National Olympic Committees of Togo and others have conducted NOC elections ahead of the Olympics.
The Ghana Olympic Committee Congress being the highest decision making body having taken a decision it’s important we all respect it and work towards a successful congress in March 2021.

BALTIMORE — Student loan borrowers have a few extra months before making payments again.
“We did our own survey of over 33,000 people in November and we found that 9 out of 10 student loan borrowers were not financially secure enough to resume payments,” said Cody Hounanian, executive director of the Student Debt Crisis Center.
The Student Debt Crisis Center supports the Biden Administration’s decision to give borrowers another 90-days delaying repayments until May 1, however, it only applies to certain federal loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education none that are privately owned by banks, credit card companies, or other lenders.
“Those have not been covered by any of the federal pandemic relief for student loan borrowers, so those people should contact their lender and see if the company itself is offering any kind of special relief during this time,” said Hounanian.
Scammers are also capitalizing on confusion surrounding these program changes.
“This message is from the Department of Education, all student loan forgiveness will be stopped immediately. In order for you to qualify you must apply in the next 24 hours or you will not be able to have your student loan reduced,” according to a voicemail from the Federal Trade Commission.
The FTC said this voicemail is a scam preying on borrowers unaware that the student loan pause has been extended.
And while the Student Debt Crisis Center is in favor of proposals eliminating student debt, borrowers need to…

JOHANNESBURG – Everyone expects the Springboks to cruise to a comfortable win over Canada today and qualify for the World Cup quarter-finals – but Bok captain Siya Kolisi has sent out a timely warning for his team.
“We really don’t know what to expect from some of the Canada individuals. It’s easier to play against someone who you regularly play against,” Kolisi emphasised yesterday. “But our focus point is rather on our last game how we can fix the mistakes and improve on our previous outing.”
Kolisi said he hadn’t had time to reflect on the enormity of his position, leading the team at the Rugby World Cup.
“It’s a huge privilege to captain this team here. But it’s all been work, work, work and I haven’t really had a moment to sit and think about it. I’m proud and honoured though, but I think I’ll sit down after the tournament and think about it. Right now there’s a job to do and that’s all I’m focused on.”
WATCH VIDEO HERE
Echoing Kolisi’s views, Bok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick said no team should ever be underestimated. He used hosts Japan – who beat Ireland earlier in the competition – as an example.
Kick-off today in Kobe is at 12.15pm (SA time).

The struggle to the psychologist will be to develop a system which could relate a man when it comes to the thought of the meaning of memory from psychology
In this article, we investigate a new idea which really helps you to build a foundation with this particular definition.
Perhaps one among the absolute most confusing words from the English vocabulary is defined by itself:”memory”. The answer is it is a set of information accumulated by the brain after which recalls what it’s heard. Although there are lots of questions that need to be answered before we can discover the meaning of memory in psychology, we need to determine exactly what memory indicates.
Memory is really a feature of every person’s capacity to remember advice. This skill allows us remember and to know items in the first location. We are able to have a constrained ability to keep things, although we may not be programmed to remember information.
Memory of colours really helps describe just how a memory works. A lot of memory is built when someone starts to learn of a colour in a manner that was new. It is of those initial days of learning some colours get so familiar they are recognized as an element of their emotional film.
Anyone gets comfortable with the look and texture of the particular coloring. We each have seen children react when they see a colour for your first time and this type of consciousness is therefore strong they are able to learn that coloration a few months later.
The paper writer mood problems expression psychology offers a wonderful method to start thinking about the relationship between memory and color to us foam. Each person has different characteristics and that’s the reason why a person’s memory capabilities could be different from the other. Colors aid to reinforce these gaps.
Disorders really helps describe two kinds of pursuits that may manifest. We may take a look at 17, As soon as we learn in psychology about the definition of memory. All these are: reproduction and recognition.
Recognition can be understood to be the act of recalling some thing. By way of example, when a person begins learning memory’s definition in psychology, he or she will likely understand this definition. It’s an activity in which a person builds a memory about the basis of http://micro.med.harvard.edu/ information which is acquired from other folks up. It is a sort of learning.
Memory through repeat is some thing else same day essay that can be considered. Rehearsal of a song or game or pattern can be described as copying. A memory does occur, Because the information builds in mind. When a memory occurs that our second idea’s feeling disorders definition psychology comes to play it really is .
Memory through repetition is like music’s repetition. Whenever an individual plays a certain bit of music, then his or her thoughts replays that track in their or her mind. When an individual reproduces over it again and hears a particular tune, their mind gets accustomed to hearing that particular song. The memory of the repetition of the song and also the song serve to sort a memory.
From the feeling issues definition of memory from psych, there is. As an example, we could think about somebody who will get nervous when he has been asked a question. The stress is that your individuals way of requesting a question that won’t go away.
We could apply this to our advantage and also the number of occasions we all repeat specified questions can be manufactured. This assists build an memory, so that won’t be erased from his or her memory loss and also can help individuals to keep our mental photograph of an image in our brain for a duration of time.

The Samsung’s mysterious flexible smartphone can go head-to-head at CES 2018, and a new leak that began to circulate late yesterday (4) underscores that the device is already in advanced stages of development. According to a patent filed by Samsung, the gadget will use its flexibility to feel the force exerted by the user on your screen – something similar to Apple’s 3D Touch.
However, this is not the most interesting leak. The patents disclosed also making reference to South Korean plans for its next smartwatch, which will possibly be christened Gear S4. The gadget will be equipped with a biometric reader positioned underneath its display and will have luminous ledges that light up and extinguish to act as a “meter,” displaying, for example, the progress to complete some activity or something.
In addition, to increase the wearable lifespan, Samsung plans to employ flexible batteries in the watch strap. This allows the brand to build a thinner gadget as there will no longer be a need to insert a larger component within the wearable case itself. We still do not know when these gadgets will be officially revealed, but we are hoping that some interesting information will also emerge during CES 2018.

Information Literacy is the skill set needed to locate and recognise quality information resources to help students utilise the information in a responsible and effective way. Students should be able to convey this information to others in a way that is appropriate and able to generalise this information in everyday life. Media Literacy is a way of thinking about the media; a way of deconstructing and understanding media messages to gain more control over them. In this course, we'll be analysing media contents in several different medium, such as photographs, newspaper articles, advertisements, tv shows, movies, new media, public relations, fake news and digital literacy--and developing an understanding of how this media content influences us in everyday life, social development and political economic changes. ‧ What is Information Literacy? ‧ Resource literacy- ability to understand the format, location and access methods of information resources ‧ Social-structural literacy - understanding the scholarly publishing process ‧ Research literacy - understand and use information technology tools to carry our research ‧ Publishing literacy - The ability to produce a text or multimedia report of the results of research ‧ Defining the Media, Media Studies, and what is media literacy? ‧ Current media environment and practice ‧ Digital technologies & adverting ‧ Understanding of media messages & Fake News ‧ New media and user-generated content (UGC)


The partnership with VeriSign will see it support VeriSign's Identity Protection (VIP) authentication service, which protects users online by issuing them a password that can be used across multiple websites. Symantec will embed VIP into a future version of Norton Confidential.
"When consumers are confident, they feel safe going online - they know their identities are protected," said Symantec CEO John Thompson. The deal gives Symantec an "infrastructure that allows us to extend" its online protection to more users, he added.
The Accenture deal has established a new "security transformation services" organisation to which Symantec will dedicate 1,000 security professionals to build data security infrastructure and services for business customers, Thompson said. It will focus on compliance, overall security operations management and building more secure applications.
Thompson made a distinction between security threats such as viruses and worms that he said have all but been eradicated, and new threats that are designed to steal information and data for financial profit. Under its Security 2.0 plan, Symantec will focus on phishing, identity theft and internal threats such as those that steal information and data, and noncompliance with internal policies and external regulations.
"Criminal elements are going after what is truly valuable in this day and age - information," Thompson said. He said that nearly 60 percent of all companies expect more than one major security incident each year, according to Symantec's research. "Think about the impact these breaches could have - damage to reputation, loss of revenue and loss of customer, partner and even shareholder trust," he said.

Who am I? This is a question that is constantly being redefined especially in the wake of my diagnosed mental illness. My name is Angelita Janssens-Peterson and I struggle with schizoaffective disorder. Now, you might ask what the hell is schizoaffective disorder? Well from my understanding, it’s a bit of both worlds -schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Where am I located? I live on a small island in the Caribbean named Saba which is close to St. Maarten. It is part of the Dutch Caribbean.
This blog is about my personal story living with schizoaffective disorder. My goal is to publish one post per week. I hope to inspire others who may be affected with any type of mental illness, be it anxiety, depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and just be a mental health advocate in general.

Wait Till You Hear Ernie Troiano Jr.’s Next Idea to Save Wildwood
Sometimes a mayor’s got to dress the part, even at the beach, and Ernie Troiano Jr.’s got all the starched collars and wingtips he needs for those special occasions.
When Wildwood voters booted him from office in a recall in 2009, Ernie had nice slacks on. Voted back in 17 months later, he looked real sharp at the swearing-in ceremony. But Ernie’s a lifelong fireman and “a concrete guy” — so more often than not, he’s tracking cement dust through Wildwood’s city hall and checking his emails in sweat-stained tees and work boots.
Ernie, 62, has limits, though. Pants in town have gotten too low, he believes, with the resulting assault of underwear too much to bear. His anti-saggy-pants ordinance passed in June, civil rights concerns and racial-profiling accusations be damned. Now, no drawers can hang lower than three inches below the small of the back on the Boardwalk, and Wildwood’s gone worldwide, with even the BBC asking Ernie about these “low-slung trousers.”
“I wasn’t trying to make an international statement,” insists Ernie, who’s served a total of eight years as mayor (the recall notwithstanding). “I don’t think asking someone to pick their pants up has anything to do with civil rights or their race or their ethnicity. Nobody wants to look at your underwear.”
Ernie’s good for at least one comment or proposal a year that rankles somebody. There was his RV-park-on-the-beach idea, as well as a suggestion that Wildwood’s high school, where he played center on the basketball team long ago, could fall victim to budget cuts. Just this spring, he called out the parents of the Philly teenagers — the majority of them from parochial schools, he noted — who drink themselves stupid in cheap Wildwood rentals every Senior Week.
Ernie even entered the island’s forbidden zone in 2011 with a proposal to sell beach tags and end Wildwood’s free beaches. Taxpayers would no longer pay for day-tripping slobs who drop cigarette butts and hoagie wrappers on the sand, he said at the time. Neighboring North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest weren’t on board, so the measure failed. (Ernie still says beach tags are “inevitable.”)
The mayors of those neighboring towns often disagree with Ernie but share a similar admiration for him. “Heart of gold,” Wildwood Crest mayor Carl Groon says. “Ernie’s heart is always in the right place,” adds North Wildwood’s Bill Henfey. Ernie claims his job is tougher than theirs — “We are an urban community. They are residential,” he says — and they agree.
Wildwood’s staggering poverty rates and crime issues continue long after summer tourists head home. The main drag, Pacific Avenue, can’t seem to recapture the mojo of its rock-and-roll heyday. “Everyone sees the colored lights and Boardwalk,” Ernie says. “They don’t see the other end of the town.”
Domenico Troiano, Ernie’s grandfather, dozed off on a Philadelphia train to Atlantic City almost a century ago and woke up in Wildwood. The family concrete business, after Ernie’s father took it over, probably helped build more than half the hotels and motels on the island. Ernie lives in his childhood home with his wife, Donna; their kids and grandkids live less than 150 feet away. No election’s going to change Ernie’s address, he says, so he’ll always throw out ideas to make Wildwood better: “I’m not trying to ruffle feathers or get in the media. I’m trying to help my town.”
And he’s always got another idea bouncing around the rim. “I realize it’s against the state’s constitution, but I’d really like to see a freestanding casino on Pacific Avenue,” he says. “It would really rejuvenate our town.”

If you look at the menu at your local café, you’ll likely notice a range of options for your meal; gluten-free, low-carb, Paleo friendly. Based on a recent CSIRO report, Australians are electing to avoid certain foods more than ever, and approximately one in three Australians are eliminating gluten, dairy or meat from their diets. While many report that food avoidance is driven by unpleasant symptoms or a desire to improve overall health, eliminating major food groups may leave us worse off.
Restriction vs. moderation – evidence for a varied diet
The popularity of Paleo, grain-free, and low-carbohydrate diets has seen foods such as dairy, grains, legumes, or even certain vegetables rise to the top of the list of foods to avoid.
This advice can be confusing. Popular messages suggest that swapping the meat-and-potatoes our grandparents grew up on with modern alternatives can improve our energy, appearance, and overall health.
Unfortunately, few of these claims have been supported by scientific evidence, and many go against current nutrition science. For example, for those without formally-diagnosed allergies, opting for ‘free-from’ options offers little to no nutritional advantage. When we remove certain foods from our diet, we replace them with others, many of which have been highly processed, and often contain added fats or sugars – a dietary pattern we know is a risk factor not only for physical but also for mental disorders.
By excluding whole grains, legumes, or high quality red meat from our daily diet, we may miss out on a beneficial mix of nutrients (i.e. antioxidants, fibre, zinc), which have been associated with mental health benefits, longevity, and the and the prevention of disease. While theoretically, we may be able to replace them with nutritious alternatives that improve the quality of our diet, very few of us are meeting the minimum dietary recommendations. When we include foods from each food group, we gain a wider range of nutritional benefits from a variety of food combinations – a benefit to both our gut bugs and brains.
A healthy diet across the lifespan and food as nourishment
While diet quality is important throughout life, there are certain life stages where it is particularly key. For example, adolescence is an important time in establishing lifelong healthy habits, and messages of restrictive eating can have long term negative impact. The nutrition status of women of childbearing age is also particularly relevant, as nutrition status during pregnancy and early life lays the foundation for healthy development. Given that women in this age range are most likely to avoid certain foods, it’s important that evidence-based nutrition advice is clearly disseminated among these groups.
The consequences of excluding major food groups are not merely physical; classifying foods as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ has a psychological impact on our approach to food. When we restrict, eating may be associated with feelings of guilt or anxiety, rather than enjoyment or nourishment. As researchers, clinicians and educators, we can highlight the benefits of ‘adding in’ to our diet (vegetables, fibre, legumes, good fats), rather than restricting.
So what should we be eating?
Certainly, for those with severe allergies, avoiding foods that make us sick or cause discomfort is essential. We are still learning a great deal about individualised nutrition, and researchers at the Food and Mood Centre are currently working to understand some of the relationships between food sensitivity and mental health.
However, for much of the healthy population, the public health message remains clear: eating a balanced diet of whole foods is preferable to dietary restriction, and a whole-food dietary pattern has been associated with the prevention and treatment of both physical and mental disorders. Of course, there’s no disputing that reducing our intake of highly processed, discretionary foods offers significant benefits for our individual and global health. Removing poor-quality food from our diet leaves room in our bellies and on our plates for more nutritious options.
The promise of improved health by avoiding certain foods is appealing: many of us are aware that our lifestyle behaviours are related to our physical and mental health, and the proposal of a simple solution is enticing. However, popular nutrition trends change quickly, and the evidence for a balanced, varied, whole food diet has stood the test of time, and importantly, scientific investigation.
Diet is complex, and there’s no quick-fix or restrictive diet likely to revolutionise our health. When it comes to fuelling our bodies and brains, we are better off including a bit of everything, rather than eating to a formula.

The New York Times has a slideshow today of gorgeous old cars called When General Motors Was Dreaming. Some of the cars were just prototypes, but some were production. And all of them had beautiful angles and style. Most cars on the road today are almost identical to every other car.

Can You Cook Frozen Chicken in the Slow Cooker?
Can you put raw chicken in a slow cooker?
Can you put raw chicken in a crockpot? Yes, that is exactly how you start. Cover the bottom of your slow cooker with raw chicken. I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they are easier to work with when the chicken is cooked, but you can use any raw chicken.
How long should you cook chicken in a crockpot?
How long will it take to cook a chicken in a slow cooker? It typically takes 3-4 hours to cook a chicken on high heat in the slow cooker, and 8 hours to cook on low heat.
How long do 2 chicken breasts take in the slow cooker?
Cover your crock pot and cook chicken breasts on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Chicken is done when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees F.
How long does it take to cook chicken breasts on high in a crockpot?
Place chicken breasts in bottom of crockpot. Pour chicken broth and seasonings over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Is it better to slow cook or pressure cook?
Slow Cooker: Which One Is Right for You? … A pressure cooker uses hot steam and pressure to quickly cook food, such as dried beans, faster than conventional cooking methods. Slow cookers use lower temperatures and longer cooking times to slowly cook food, such as meat and stews.
Can I cook raw meat in a slow cooker?
OK, you can technically cook raw meat in your slow cooker, so long as you cook it all the way through. However, if you have the time, browning the meat beforehand will add a great layer of flavor and texture to your dish, DiGregorio says.
Is it better to cook chicken on high or low in crockpot?
Always cook your boneless skinless chicken breasts on LOW for the best results. I do not recommend cooking boneless chicken breast on HIGH, as it will become very dry, even if you check it early. On high, the chicken turns out drier; I consistently have the best results with low.
Is it safe to cook chicken on low in crockpot?
Dear Marilyn: As long as your slow cooker is functioning correctly, and you follow a few basic guidelines, the chicken will be cooking at a temperature well within food safety limits, even on the low setting. The low setting cooks at about 200 F., and the high setting cooks at about 300 F.

Last week, the Canadian Eating Disorder Alliance, released a progressive strategy that contains 6 pillars and 50 recommendations aimed at improving outcomes for people living with and recovering from eating disorders and related mental illnesses. The 6 pillars include prevention, public education and awareness, treatment, caregiver support, training, and research (https://nied.ca/canadian-eating-disorders-strategy/).
The Looking Glass Foundation aligns with the recommendations put forward and we are pleased to see the strategy receiving media coverage, which helps to increase awareness about eating disorders and the gaps in treatment that are evident across Canada.
More funding is needed for specialized services for patients with eating disorders of varying severity. We urge you to consider the positive impact that peer support programs can provide to those struggling with eating disorders. At Looking Glass, all our peer support programs are available to all genders, are offered at no cost, with no limit to usage, and support individuals struggling with any type of eating disorder or disordered eating. By increasing accessibility, our programs play an important role in all stages of eating disorders, from prevention and early intervention to relapse prevention and recovery. Looking Glass Foundation’s programs decrease isolation, instill hope, and sustain recovery for individuals on their road to recovery.
Recovery is Possible. We encourage you to donate to Looking Glass so you can ensure support is available to the hundreds of individuals who have the courage to reach out for help: Donate today!
A big thank you to the national eating disorder organizations for developing this strategy and advocating for change. Click here for coverage in the Globe and Mail and here to access the pdf version of the strategy.

It certainly hasn't been their best half of football for the New Orleans Saints, who currently trail the New England Patriots by a score of 17-7 in Gillette Stadium.
The defense has been playing decent, sacking Tom Brady 5 times, but getting worn out by the Patriots no-huddle offense and allowing two rushing touchdowns by Stevan Ridley.
On offense, the Saints have sputtered. Jimmy Graham has been completely neutralized by Aqib Talib and Marques Colston has been non-existent. Both have been held without a catch.
The Saints will start the second half with the ball.

Fire fighting water pump is a vital part of the fire protection system, providing the necessary pressure to support sprinklers and standpipe systems. Choosing the right fire pump is key to making sure the building is adequately protected from fire hazards and provides enough water flow to handle any situation that may occur in a building. Fire pumps must be sized and selected to be able to deliver the required capacity at the desired discharge pressures, while also meeting local fire codes.
The first step in selecting a fire fighting water pump is to perform a hazard analysis for the building. The hazard analysis will determine the most demanding area of the fire protection system, which can be used to size the fire pump. For example, in high-rise buildings a typical method for sizing fire pumps is to use the standpipe demand determined by NFPA 14: Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems which requires the first standpipe to provide 500 gallons per minute (GPM), and then 250 gpm for each additional standpipe in the building, up to a maximum of 1000 gPM.
Once the hazard analysis is completed, the next step in sizing a fire pump is to select a pressure booster, which will provide the required pressure boost needed to supplement the incoming fire water supply. The selection process for the pressure booster will be based on three points: churn, rated flow, and 150% of the rated flow. This will ensure that the pressure is generated at the required levels to meet the building demands, and also allow for the expected peaks in flow that could be experienced during normal operations.
In addition to ensuring the proper sizing of a fire fighting water pump, it is important to understand the different types of fire pumps and their operating principles, types, driver options, and applications. This knowledge can help pump operators move from being simply a “knob puller” who sets predetermined figures on a gauge to becoming efficient engineers who know how to properly use and operate the fire fighting water pump to ensure that the fire protection system works as it should.
Another consideration when sizing a fire fighting water pump is the type of hose that will be connected to it. Hose sizes are available from 3/8″ to 1 1/2″, with the majority of fire departments using a 1 1/2″ hose. This hose is easy to maneuver and manage, and offers the ideal balance between volume and managementability. It is also important to choose a hose that matches the fire pump’s discharge port size, as well as considering any potential temperature monitoring and alerts that may be part of the system, such as those recently installed by several Texas cities after freezing conditions resulted in costly repairs.
In addition, it is critical to understand that when sizing a fire fighting water Pump, you must take into account friction loss. Friction loss is the energy lost in pressure when water flows through the hoses, couplings, and other fittings. The amount of friction loss will depend on the hoses and their condition, but in most cases this can be minimized by using hoses made with higher quality materials and avoiding loose or worn components.

AMD has announced a multithreaded CPU library for deformable material physics, using the Finite Element Method (FEM), called FEMFX. The model supports a wide range of materials and interactions between materials. Moreover, this CPU library is currently available for download.
According to the red team, the library uses extensive multithreading to utilize multicore CPUs and benefit from the trend of increasing CPU core counts. The system is also designed with the following considerations:
- Fidelity: realistic-looking wood, metal, plastic, even glass, because they bend and break according to stress as real materials do.
- Deformation effects: non-rigid use cases such as soft-body objects, bending or warping objects. It is not just a visual effect, but materials will resist or push back on other objects.
- Changing material on the fly: you can change the settings to make the same object behave very differently, e.g., turn gelatinous or melt.
- Interesting physics interactions for gameplay or puzzles.
Here are the key features of FEMFX:
- Elastic and plastic deformation
- Implicit integration for stability with stiff materials
- Kinematic control of mesh vertices
- Fracture between tetrahedral faces
- Non-fracturing faces to control shape of cracks and pieces
- Continuous collision detection (CCD) for fast-moving objects
- Constraints for contact resolution and to link objects together
- Constraints to limit deformation
- Dynamic control of tetrahedron material parameters
- Support for deforming a render mesh using the tetrahedral mesh

Title: The Promised Neverland
Original Title: 約束のネバーランド
Running time: 119 minutes
Directed by: Hirakawa Yuichiro
At Grace Field House, life couldn’t be better for the orphans! Though they have no parents, together with the other kids and a kind “Mama” who cares for them, they form one big, happy family. No child is ever overlooked, especially since they are all adopted by the age of 12. Their daily lives involve rigorous tests, but afterward, they are allowed to play outside. There is only one rule they must obey: do not leave the orphanage. But one day, two top-scoring orphans, Emma and Norman, venture past the gate and unearth the horrifying reality behind their entire existence: they are all livestock, and their orphanage is a farm to cultivate food for a mysterious race of demons. With only a few months left to pull off an escape plan, the children must somehow change their predetermined fate.
This movie is basically a summary of the first series of the anime, only with real actors instead of animated characters.
The fact that is a full season condensed in two hours of movie (roughly half the time if we consider a single episode to last more or less 20 minutes) makes it seem a bit rushed and it ends up depriving some of the scenes of the needed timings and pathos.
Another thing that I really didn’t like is their choice for the actors being the protagonists. Ray is the only one that seems to have the right age, while Emma and Norman are blatantly some adults taking the parts of children that are eleven years old. They try to make them look younger using bigger props and scenarios but the effect doesn’t work really well.
However some of the actors are really on point! Gilda is basically identical to the anime and they have chosen the perfect actress to portrait Mama! She is even scarier here than in the anime!
For Sister Krone the thing is a bit controversial as they did choose a Japanese actress to portray here when in the series she has dark skin. The expressions of the actress are on point with the ones of the character in the anime but here they have an effect that is diametrically the opposite: instead of passing off as a sketchy, negative and creepy character in the movie she acts almost as a comical relief.
Apart from what I’ve already said, the movie is really good and very faithful to the story of the manga! This was the selling point for me! I’m sincerely hoping for a sequel, accurate to the manga as this first one, that will “fix” what the second season of the Anime did to this series.

New Delhi, November 11
The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted interim bail to Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami in an abetment to suicide case.
A Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud also ordered release of two co-accused in the case. They have been asked to execute a bail bond of Rs 50,000 each.
The Supreme Court said the Bombay High Court was in error in rejecting Goswami’s application for grant of interim bail.
It ordered the Raigad police to ensure compliance of its order to release Arnab Goswami forthwith.
During the hearing that went on for the entire day, the Supreme Court questioned the Maharashtra government over the 2018 abetment to suicide case against the Republic TV Editor-in-Chief, saying it would be a travesty of justice if personal liberty of a person was curtailed like this.
It said if state governments targeted individuals, they must realise that there was the Supreme Court to protect the liberty of citizens.
The top court expressed serious concern over state governments targeting some individuals on the basis of ideology and difference of opinion.
“We are seeing case after case where high courts are not granting bail and failing to protect personal liberty of people,” the Bench said during the hearing.
“Whatever be his ideology, least I don’t even watch his channel, but if in this case constitutional courts do not interfere today, we are travelling the path of destruction undeniably,” Justice Chandrachud said, adding, “The point is can you deny personal liberty of a person on these allegations.”
“If the government targets individuals on this basis…You may not like television channels, but this should not happen,” the court said.
Senior advocate Harish Salve, representing Goswami, argued that the re-investigation ordered by the Maharashtra Home Minister was illegal and malafide and a constitutional court must look into these aspects and technical argument on regular bail, etc, can’t come in the way.
“A man in Maharashtra committed suicide, saying the Chief Minister failed to pay him salary? What do you do? Arrest the Chief Minister?” Salve wondered.
He said there has to be direct and proximate cause to invoke the change of abetment to suicide.
The Bench — which also included Justice Indira Banerjee — ordered that the accused shall not make any attempt to tamper with evidence and influence witnesses.
Goswami – currently lodged in Taloja jail — had challenged the November 9 order of the high court that asked him to approach the sessions court for regular bail.
The Bombay High Court had on Monday rejected the interim bail pleas of Goswami and two others in connection with the alleged abetment to suicide of an interior designer and had asked them to approach the sessions court.
It had also rejected the interim bail pleas of two other accused Feroze Shaikh and Nitish Sarda, saying, “no case has been made out for us (court) to exercise our extraordinary jurisdiction”.


If energy was a carb, the internet would be overweight
Oh Internet, glorious Internet! It unites, teaches, guides, inspires, is our go-to for answers and even tutorials to do for ourselves what we used to pay someone else to do.
In terms of sustainability, it offers us reports on pollution, broken down by country, city and even company, and is our gateway to learning how to change our routines, what we need to do to avoid polluting so much and what and how to recycle, new green technologies and how to implement them in our lives.
But what the Internet doesn’t outwardly tell us is that each time we perform a search on one of the most famous and popular search engines, we are contaminating the environment. For each question we pose and each answer we request, we are using energy that generates around 0.2g of CO2.
It is at this point that we ask ourselves, why didn’t we realise this before? Perhaps we did realise it, but we let ourselves be convinced by its many benefits, as it makes life easier and lets us live at a dizzying pace.
So how is it that the Internet contaminates? Its environmental footprint is difficult to follow; Internet is ethereal. It can be explained like this: contamination is caused mainly by using the web, which requires a large physical infrastructure for it to work: thousands of millions of cables, data centres and servers. It couldn’t work without them. And all this immense infrastructure releases emissions into the environment.
This means that sending an email, storing data on the cloud or using a search engine like we said before generates CO2; it has been calculated that a few years ago (2017) the web generated 2% of the planet’s total carbon dioxide emissions, whereas this year it is expected to reach 4%.
Sending an email with a 1MB file attached creates 19g of carbon dioxide. Some 12 billion messages are sent every hour around the world, which generates around 228 billion emissions per hour just for emails.
One minute, which may not seem like much in our day-to-day, means a lot more in terms of the web. We have created a Cumulus Media graphic to help you to understand what happens in a minute of browsing and put it more into perspective.
Infographic from @LoriLewis and @OfficiallyChadd www.visualcapitalist.com/what-happens-in-an-Internet-minute-in-2019
Our mobile phone has become a shop window par excellence for all the stores in the world, we love the thousands of options to choose what to have and even more so if it involves something found on the other side of the world. And, incidentally, we want it to arrive immediately. This is a demand that many companies try to meet that has a global impact.
Data tells us that we shop online at least three times a week. Transport networks are necessary to make all of this happen and for products to arrive correctly at their destination, as soon as possible. They are the environment’s worst enemies.
In all likelihood, so much information to this regard is probably making you slightly despairing. We are telling you that there is still a lot that we can do and many of these large companies are being tasked with improving their environmental relations.
Apple leads the way with 83% of renewable energies, compared to 10% coal-based and nuclear. Facebook and Google follow in its wake with 67% and 56% of clean energy respectively. Instagram’s efforts of reaching 67% must also be applauded.
This action by certain leading companies contrasts with the continued lack of transparency of many others, in relation to their energy demands and the supply source of their data centres.
In response to the lack of restricting policies, Greenpeace states that “a much stronger approach is required to defend renewables, get past the entrenched political power of electrical companies and pave the way for the swift adoption of renewable energies.”
An example of this is Kolos, a green data centre, which will occupy 600,000 square metres in Norway and will be the first centre in the world to supply its demand with 100% renewable energy. It is expected to have a positive impact in that it will generate further similar actions.
The European Commission confirms that “more than a third of the electricity consumed in data centres is for the processes established to cool the equipment and maintain an optimum temperature for the data servers.”
To reduce this energy consumption, the European Union developed the RenewIT project, which seeks to reduce the carbon footprint of data centres by implementing a public tool through an easy-to-use online interface.
The transition to the cloud could lead to an increase in the demand for coal and fossil fuels if the construction of data centres is not duly regulated at a global level to therefore demand the use of renewable energies.
A fully sustainable Internet is not going to happen overnight, but growing commitment is an important step.
There are many people committed to making this change and bringing all of this information out into the open, such as the researcher Joana Moll who in 2015 started her Project CO2GLE, which monitored in real time how many kilos of CO2 the giant released into the environment while we surf the web.
Good habits and daily actions in terms of energy can make a huge difference to our digital footprint. Turn off at the switch and don’t leave the printer on standby or the computer hibernating, as well as use extension leads with on/off switches, given that if the equipment is connected, it will keep consuming.
When using your computer on a daily basis, think about actions like closing down tabs and windows that you are not using, emptying the inbox of your email, whether it is necessary to attach a file… think and optimise how you manage the cloud storage space that you are using like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
Look for alternative search engines like ecosia which plant a tree for every search that done.
Recycling technological objects such as mobiles and laptops when they are obsolete are small actions that can generate a big change, by starting off small, at home, may we be the change that we want to see in the world so that it slowly becomes how we want it be.

Brucea javanica oil (BJO) is beneficial for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), and that quassinoids in particular brusatol are bioactive components. However, it is still uncertain whether or not other components in BJO, such as oleic acid and fatty acids, have an anti-UC effect. The present study is aimed at comparing the anti-UC effects between brusatol-enriched BJO (BE-BJO) and brusatol-free BJO (BF-BJO) and at exploring the effects and mechanisms of BE-BJO on colon inflammation and intestinal epithelial barrier function.

Old Chang Kee
Old Chang Kee Ltd Group is a S$90 million Singapore listed organisation with a global presence. They specialise in manufacturing and selling food products through retail outlets. Beginning as a food stall in 1956, they’re now a household name when it comes to curry puffs and other local favourites.
Using: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Azure
50% Gain in Departmental Time-Savings
30% Overall Reduction in Employee Overtime
0 Duplicate Data and Retention
- Key business functions like accounting, logistics, and production needed efficiency improvements
- Departments used separate systems, resulting in tedious manual work, repetitive data entry and staff overtime e.g. staff would manually create warehouse route and pick lists.
- Lack of staff productivity
- Achieve more with their existing workforce.
- Automate key processes to save time.
- Streamline accounting and inventory management to boost productivity.
- Eliminate manual processes and be more productive, without having to invest in additional labour
In 2015, Old Chang Kee sought to take their productivity and growth further. Given increasingly stringent Singapore labour laws, Old Chang Kee realised they needed to achieve more with their existing workforce by automating key processes.
One aspect they decided to focus on was their accounts and inventory management. Old Chang Kee was then using disparate software to manage their accounts and inventory. This resulted in:
- Tedious manual reconciliation
- Duplicate data entry
- Productivity losses
- Employee overtime
“We needed to replace our previous solutions, and get an integrated software to help us save time and improve productivity,” explains Song Yeow Chung, CFO of Old Chang Kee Ltd. “By automating key processes, we’d be able to do more with our current workforce."
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (previously Microsoft Dynamics NAV) became Old Chang Kee's top choice for several reasons: it was an intuitive, self-contained enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that wasn’t too complex for users.
It was also cost-effective, which would save time and boost productivity. Plus, it was relatively easy to customise Business Central to meet their needs.
“Compared to other vendors, AFON provided practical examples of how Microsoft Dynamics Business Central could help us,” says Yeow Chung. “Their consultants also presented technical information in clear yet concise layman terms, so our senior management could understand what Business Central could do.”
After implementing Business Central, Old Chang Kee saw functional benefits in key areas. For example, they reduced the time spent on financial close by 25%, automated warehouse picking processes, and eliminated duplicate data entry in procurement. They also made full use of Business Central's production module to improve their production processes.
“We saw a big increase in accuracy. Also, in terms of logistics, we can now do route and list picking all in the system,” says Yeow Chung. “Previously, we had to do this manually, which was time consuming.”
Delighted with the results, Old Chang Kee tasked AFON IT with managing and improving their infrastructure, including getting Microsoft Azure to help them scale quickly in the Cloud with greater flexibility. They're also looking forward to using Business Central in other areas, such as their manufacturing plant in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
“We want to thank AFON for helping us successfully implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (previously Microsoft Dynamics NAV) and Microsoft Azure. Our new system has enabled us to achieve significant time and manpower savings in key departments.”

Zitat von: shellat am 9 Juni 2018, 23:40:00@HitfieldDie zweite Kreatur scheint ein "Super Predator" zu sein, so einer wie aus "Predators", tippe ich mal! Ist aber schon "strange", gebe ich dir volkommen recht! :D
Zitat von: Hitfield am 26 Juni 2018, 17:25:03Ich weiß immer noch nicht, was ich davon halten soll. Ich weiß nur, dass Shane Black bislang noch nie eine Regiearbeit oder ein Drehbuch in den Sand gesetzt hat (bezogen auf seine Spiel-/Kinofilme). :unknown:
Zitat von: Mr. Blonde am 26 Juni 2018, 21:08:14Ich finde einen größeren Predator einfach furchtbar dämlich. Sieht einfach falsch aus. Davon abgesehen hat der neue Trailer so ein paar Momente, die ganz cool wirken. Im besten Falle wird das besser als "Predators" aber was man da bisher gesehen hat, wird niemals die ersten beiden Filme toppen.
Zitat von: ironfox1 am 21 Juli 2018, 07:31:37Fehlt da nicht was? :icon_mrgreen:
ZitatThat news was first reported by Comic Book Resources, and it quickly spread.The site wrote, "20th Century Fox today revealed that female Predators will appear in director Shane Black's upcoming movie. One of the clips screened featured Olivia Munn's character, Dr. Casey Bracket, about to be attacked by a female Predator in sleek, technical armor, when a larger Predator attacks another one of the aliens, distracting the female Predator."Oddly enough, CBR was the only site that seemed to have heard that info during the Comic Con panel, and that's because, well, they didn't hear what they thought they did. We've been able to confirm with a source close to the production that, unless something changes between now and the film's release, no female Predators currently exist in The Predator.The source of the misunderstanding seems to have been that a fan at Comic Con asked if female Predators would ever be introduced in the films, and the stars joked around about not being able to tell male and female Predators apart. And that's really all there is to that one. (Bloody-Disgunsting.com)
Zitat"I'm not in the show though—It was too long so my character, they had to take me out," Olmos said in an interview during the publicity rounds for his new FX show Mayans M.C. "They were like half an hour, 3/4 of an hour too long. So I understand why. It was gracious of them to call me and tell me, 'Hey, we really feel bad,' you know?"Black recently revealed to Collider the full extent of recent large-scale reshoots on The Predator and why they decided to re-do most of the film's third act."If you want to do all of this stuff with this much money, you probably need to shoot during the day because during the night would be prohibitive," Black said. "To our chagrin, and it's on me, when we saw the footage during the day, the climax of the movie, it doesn't look right. It doesn't look scary in the daytime. Then we decided to streamline the plot so we could go back up and really concentrate on the scarier elements of doing it at night. So literally, as they've said, the difference is night and day. We took everything out of day and put it into darkness."(Comingsoon.net)
