Denim is a tough material, but it can be tricky to know how to dry it properly. In this post, we’ll discuss how to dry jeans in the dryer and what to do if they shrink.
Will Denim Shrink In The Dryer?
When it comes to clothes, many people believe that the drier is the enemy. But is this really true? In general, most clothes will shrink a bit in the dryer, but denim specifically tends to shrink a lot. This is because denim is made out of cotton and cotton absorbs moisture from the air, which causes it to shrink.
So if you’re worried about your jeans shrinking in the dryer, don’t be!
How To Dry Jeans In The Dryer
If you’ve ever wondered how to dry jeans in the dryer, your worries are over. Jeans can be dried in the dryer just like any other piece of clothing, and it will not cause them to shrink.
In fact, if you do not over-dry them, they may even come out slightly softer after being dried in the dryer.
What To Do If Jeans Shrink?
If your jeans happen to shrink in the dryer, don’t panic! Most likely, this is just a result of the fabric being stretched out by the heat.
To prevent this from happening in the future, it’s best to follow these simple tips:
- Pre-treat your jeans with a fabric softener before you put them in the dryer. This will help to keep them from shrinking and make them feel softer when you wear them.
- Don’t overload your machine with clothes – only load it up with enough clothes to cover what you’re washing. This will help to reduce the amount of heat that’s applied to your jeans, which can cause them to shrink.
- If your jeans do end up shrinking after being dried, simply take them out of the dryer and hang them on a hanger for a few hours before wearing them again. This will help to restore their original size and shape.
Drying jeans in the dryer can be a challenge, but following these precautions can help ensure that your jeans don’t shrink.
What are Denim Jeans?
What is denim? Denim jeans are a type of jeans that are made from a heavy cotton twill fabric. The fabric is woven in a special way that allows it to stretch, but then shrink when it dries.
This makes the jeans fit better and look more professional after they have been washed and dried.
What are the Dangers of Drying Denim in the Dryer?
There are a few dangers of drying denim in the dryer. One is that the heat may cause the fabric to shrink, which could lead to holes in the jeans.
Another danger is that the heat may cause the fabric to crack.
If you’re concerned about shrinking or cracking, it’s best to avoid drying your jeans in the dryer altogether.
How to Clean Denim After Drying in the Dryer?
There’s nothing quite like a freshly-washed pair of jeans to make you feel on top of the world. Unfortunately, there is one small problem: the denim will shrink in the dryer.
This means that your jeans will fit snugly after washing but may start to stretch out after drying. In order to prevent this from happening, it is important to follow these steps when cleaning your denim after drying in the dryer:
- Preheat your dryer before putting in your jeans. This will help them reach a more comfortable temperature faster and reduce the chances of them shrinking.
- Wet your jeans before putting them in the dryer so that they can move around less and cause damage.
- Remove your jeans from the dryer as soon as they are done drying, regardless of how wrinkled they are or how much they have shrunken since washing. If you wait too long, they may become brittle and difficult to handle.
Denim should be cleaned after it has been dried in the dryer. This can be done by washing it in cold water and using a Delicates cycle. Be sure to check the label of the denim to make sure it is safe to wash in cold water.

NBC anchor compares Founders to terrorists
Brian Williams equates 1st U.S. leaders to Iran president-elect
In his newscast tonight, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams compared America's first presidents to the president-elect of Iran, alleged hostage-taker Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying they were "certainly revolutionaries and might have been called terrorists by the British crown."
At least six of the Americans held at the U.S. embassy in Tehran as hostages for 444 days claim Ahmadinejad was one of the leaders of the captors, having recognized him on television reports.
Williams' comment came in a question to reporter Andrea Mitchell.
At the end of Mitchell's report, Williams asked, "What would it all matter if proven true? Someone brought up today the first several U.S. presidents were certainly revolutionaries and might have been called 'terrorists' by the British crown, after all."

Tyga’s G.O.O.D. Music Deal Was Not A Gift
Tyga’s signing to G.O.O.D. Music blew a lot of people…leading to memes and speculation as to the real reason Kanye decided to take the gold enthusiast under his wing. Was this a way for Kris to make sure Kylie wasn’t the young dumb sister with the broke, bill-dodgin’ boyfriend?
As it turns out…Kanye just plain likes Tyga and thinks he has some G.O.O.D.-worthy bars in him. Via TMZ:
Tyga’s new deal with Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music isn’t a favor to the Kardashians — we’re told Kanye legitimately digs his music.
Sources close to the rappers tell TMZ they’ve worked together on music for years, and signing Tyga was strictly a business decision. Although Kanye is clearly all-in with the family on all its ventures … we’re told the Kardashians did NOT cross the line into his music world.
As one source put it, Kanye doesn’t take on ANY artist or project he doesn’t believe in personally.
Plus, there’s a genuine friendship between them — we’re told ‘Ye and Tyga started teaming up way before Kylie was in the picture. In fact, Tyga was with Blac Chyna when they started, and that’s how she and Kim became friends.
We’re told Tyga’s been hitting the studio a lot with Kanye lately, and will be featured on the G.O.O.D. Music album, “Cruel Winter,” which is supposed to drop next year.
As for Tyga’s financial woes, we’re told the Kardashians have repeatedly offered help from their advisors … but Tyga wants to fix those things on his own.
Well, take a listen to the new signee’s first release under his new label, alongside his fellow G.O.O.D. freshman Desiigner. Is ‘Ye onto something spotting Tyga’s talent?

Senegal, Dakar – A Trip to Former French Enclave
Maybe some of you immediately think of the Czech races Loprais and a word Dakar. The famous rally sure is one of the best known things about Senegal yet for us it is of lesser importance.
Even though Senegal is small on African proportions, it sure isn’t as small as small European countries such as Lithuania or Estionia. Senegal covers an area of 196 thousand square kilometers with 14 milion inhabitants.
Dakar, the capital of Senegal is the main engine of Senegalese economy. 2 million people live here. Despite the fact the official language of Senegal is French as the country used to be part of the French colony only small group of educated people use it. The Senegalese people speak other languages such as wolof .
As we have mentioned Dakar already we stay here for a while. Among major tourist attractions is Great Mosque . It was opened in 1964 by Moroccan king Hassan II and Senegalese President Léopold Senghor. The mosque is considered one of the most important religious buildings in Senegal. It also has a minaret that is as high as 67 meters.
We should not forget Senegalese part on UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. It is the small island of Gorée about two kilometers off the port of Dakar. This island is tightly connected to slave trade.
There is the House of Slaves . Even though Gorée was not particularly important place to slave trade (“only” couple of hundreds slaves were deported from here evey year), the house is worth a visit. It is one of the oldest houses on the island. Today it is one of its major tourist attractions which reminds of cruelty related to slave trade.
Most of the houses, including the House of Slaves, were built between the second half of the 18th and the first half of the 19Th century. Another is, for instance, William Ponty’s schook, the maritime museum or d'Estrées fortress where resides the museum of Senegalese history . Other historical buildings originally residential were turned according to the needs of tourist industry. Now these are hotels and restaurants. You can get on the island by ferry which departs every 30 minutes.
Another attraction that should be missed by any visitor of Senegal is the African Renaissance monument. This bronze statue was designed Senegalese architect Pierre Goudiaby and is the largest in Africa. The 49 meter statue’s monumental scope stands on a 100 meter hill.
Next week we will continue in our tour across Africa.

McParland set for Burnley DoF role
Ex-Reds Academy boss heads for Turf Moor
Burnley are set to appoint the former head of Liverpool’s Academy, Frank McParland, as their Director of Football.
McParland was at one time Liverpool’s chief scout, before leaving for roles at Bolton and then Watford. In 2009 he was handed the role of Academy Director, a post he continued in until 2013.
He was instrumental in bringing Raheem Sterling to the club from QPR as a teenager and outfought Manchester City for the signature of a young Jordon Ibe. He was also there to oversee the development of players like Jerome Sinclair and Andre Wisdom, who has just extended his contract with the first team.
After leaving Liverpool – the club removed McParland and Rodolfo Borrell without warning and waited almost a year before deciding to promote Alex Inglethorpe to Academy Director – McParland went to Brentford to become Sporting Director.
Along with manager Mark Warburton and assistant manager David Weir, the former Everton player, McParland saw Brentford promoted to the Championship, their first spell in the second tier of the game in 21 years, where they exceeded expectations by some distance. Survival in the division would have been seen as the target, instead they made it into the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League.
Some time before the season ended Brentford decided they were going to take a different approach and announced that McParland, Warburton and Weir would be leaving at the end of the season. McParland was placed on gardening leave for the period.
Burnley have just been relegated to the Championship after a difficult season in the Premier League and McParland will arrive tasked with the job of helping them return to the lucrative top flight.

Guatemala: Inflation holds stable in August
Inflation held steady at July’s 4.5% in August, marking the weakest inflation rate since March 2022. There was little change in inflation for most groupings: Sharper price declines in food and alcoholic beverages, recreation, and housing were offset by sharper price increases for transportation, healthcare, plus hotels and restaurants. Meanwhile, the trend pointed down, with annual average inflation coming in at 7.8% in August (July: 8.2%).
Finally, consumer prices increased 0.63% in August over the previous month, coming in below July’s 0.70% rise.


text: According to experienced trekkers, the Kedarkantha trek is simple to moderate in difficulty. This journey is open to everyone over the age of five and under the age of 65. However, you should be aware that the difficulty of the Kedarkantha trek tends to rise throughout the winter. Between December and April, the entire trail is blanketed in snow, making ascending or even strolling impossible. Only the trek up from Kedarkantha base camp can be challenging. Kedarkantha is well-known as a winter trip. However, keep in mind that winters can be brutal. You'll need snow boots, really warm clothing, special coats, a walking stick, and hiking equipment, all of which you'll have to carry on your back. Summer trekking, on the other hand, would necessitate fewer items. When planning the Kedarkantha journey, bear the above in mind. Sankri is the final place you may go for help in an emergency. As a result, it is critical that you are in good health prior to embarking on the Kedarkantha trek. Oxygen levels will drop as you trek uphill. As a result, you should have a healthy respiratory system and robust lungs.


A little something lighten the day:
The Mosin Nagan kinda sounds like Chuck Norris. "It has fought against itself and won every time." Haha
Lol! They even sell T-Shirts, too! I think I'm going to buy one (T-Shirt, that is. I already got the Mosin) :)
The Mosin Nagan seems pretty amazing I would love to try it out sometime :D lmao :P
I want to get a Mosin. They have them for really cheap around here. $89-$129.
I own an AR-15 which I'm going to get to shoot again today. (I get the afternoon off) We'll see how I do. I only got out to 50 yards the afternoon I was at the range because some guy kept bothering me about it.
I don't own an AK, but I do own its older cousin the SKS. I like it. It's a really fun gun and cheap to feed as well. A Saiga 7.62 is on my list.
Our range only goes out to 300 meters. I'd like to see how far I could actually reach with one of those things which means finding someplace really open and really deserted.
I found a youtube video with a guy that has a Mosin that goes out to over 1000 meters with it. I have no idea what has been done to it but it looks stock minus the scope mounted on it.
I'd post a link but youtube is blocked here.
You could see the bullet traveling for almost 3 seconds and you could see the arch. The scope was adjusted for 300inches above zero for the trajectory.

Bad weather and rising prices drive down American home sales to lowest level in nearly two years
- National Association of Realtors data shows sales dropped 0.4 percent in February to 4.6 million
- That was the sixth decline in the last seven months
- Realtors say freezing temperatures and snowstorms are the likely culprits but there are signs the market is turning
Sales of existing homes have slipped to their lowest level in about two years as severe winter weather, rising prices and a tight supply of homes discourage buyers.
The National Association of Realtors has revealed that sales declined 0.4 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.6 million. That was the sixth decline in the past seven months.
Calculatedriskblog.com mapped the new data in the following graphs.
Modeled: The National Association of Realtors today revealed homes have slipped to their lowest level in about two years as severe winter weather, rising prices and a tight supply of homes discourage buyers
Behavioral mapping: Using NAR data, this graph by calculatedriskblog.com shows US home sales generally peak in the warmer months
Still, there were some signs that the market could pick up in the coming months.
Sales improved in the South and West, where weather was less of a factor. And more people decided to sell, boosting the supply of available homes 6.4 percent to 2 million.
'Once we get past this messy period, housing should assume its role in supporting overall growth,' Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a note to clients.
Home prices are rising despite the sluggish sales, a sign that the number of homes for sale remains low. The median sales price has risen 9.1 percent in the past year, the Realtors said, to $189,000.
Investors are accounting for an increasing share of purchases, while first-time buyers remain historically low.
All-cash sales, which are mostly by investors, rose to 35 percent of purchases in February, up from 32 percent a year ago.
Statistics: National Association of Realtors data shows sales declined 0.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.6 million - the sixth decline in the past seven months
First-time buyers accounted for only 28 percent of sales in February, slightly more than in January. That's far below the 40 percent that's typical of a healthy market.
First-time buyers are being held back by tight credit standards and high levels of student loan debt, the Realtors said.
Sales of existing homes climbed steadily in the first half of last year, reaching an annual pace of 5.38 million in July. And sales totaled 5.1 million in all of 2013, the most in seven years.
That's still below the 5.5 million that is consistent with a healthy housing market.
Dampened market: The latest National Association of Realtors data has revealed sluggish house sales during the winter period
But sales slowed in the fall as rising mortgage rates and higher home prices began to squeeze some buyers out of the market.
Freezing temperatures and winter storms also kept prospective buyers away from open houses.
Sales have fallen 14 percent since July.
The average interest rate on a 30-year mortgage slipped to 4.32 percent last week from 4.37 percent.
Rates have risen about a full percentage point since hitting record lows last spring.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri consumers received an additional $16.2 million from their insurance companies in 2018, thanks to the work of the department’s Consumer Affairs Division and Market Conduct Section.
“One of our primary responsibilities is to protect Missouri consumers and ensure they are treated fairly by insurance companies,” said Chlora Lindley-Myers, Director of the Missouri Department of Insurance. “We are a free resource to help people resolve any disputes they have with their insurance company.”
The monies were returned as a result of the Consumer Affairs Division’s mediation work on complaints filed by consumers as well as the efforts of the Market Conduct Section that examines insurance company operations and practices to ensure compliance with Missouri insurance law.
In 2018, the Consumer Affairs Division, which was established by the Missouri Constitution, received 3,240 formal complaints and returned $10.9 to consumers.
The Department’s market conduct section focuses on identifying and resolving systemic issues that impact Missouri insurance consumers. In some instances, market conduct actions may originate from consumer complaints that have been filed with the Department’s Consumer Affairs Division. In other instances, the issues are identified through monitoring insurance company activities in the insurance marketplace. In 2018, the Market Conduct Division recovered $5.3 million to Missouri consumers.
“Market conduct serves two important roles in the insurance market. The first is to address issues that impact numerous consumers in the market and may involve violations of law that consumers may not know to complain about,” says Director Lindley-Myers. “The second is to ensure a level playing field for all insurance companies, which encourages competition in the market. Missouri consumers directly benefit from a competitive insurance market when they have more choices in insurance products, companies and better premiums.”
A comprehensive list of enforcement and market conduct actions taken by the department is available on the department’s website. Consumers with complaints or questions about their insurance agent or company can call the department’s Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or visit insurance.mo.gov.


Sunspot numbers have progressively dropped since 2002 with the lowest numbers recorded in 2008. However, since 2009 there has been a upward trend but the Solar Flux progression charts at http://solarcycle24.com/flux.htm still show the sunspot numbers to be consistently lower than predicted. There are more historical charts at: http://wm7d.net/hamradio/solar/historical.shtml
January’s Solar activity is predicted to be on yet another downward trend. The Solar Flux is forecast to drop from 90 to 80 during January. The Boulder A index will stay at 5, except for 4 - 6 and 20 - 21 January. The Boulder A index is likely to remain at a steady 2 for this period.
Global Eruption Rocks the Sun
On August 1, 2010, an entire hemisphere of the sun erupted. Filaments of magnetism snapped and exploded, shock waves raced across the stellar surface, billion-ton clouds of hot gas billowed into space. "The August 1st event really opened our eyes," says Karel Schrijver of Lockheed Martin's Solar and Astrophysics Lab in Palo Alto, CA. "We see that solar storms can be global events, playing out on scales we scarcely imagined before." "The whole-sun approach could lead to breakthroughs in predicting solar activity," commented Rodney Viereck of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Centre in Boulder, CO. "To predict eruptions we can no longer focus on the magnetic fields of isolated active regions," says Title, "we have to know the surface magnetic field of practically the entire sun." This revelation increases the work load for space weather forecasters, but it also increases the potential accuracy of their forecasts
(NASA Science News. 6 December 2010).
NASA Solar Shield Project
Solar storms don’t just affect radio propagation. Every hundred years or so, a solar storm comes along so potent it fills the skies of Earth with blood-red auroras, makes compass needles point in the wrong direction, and sends electric currents coursing through the planet's topsoil. The most famous such storm, the Carrington Event of 1859, actually shocked telegraph operators and set some of their offices on fire. A 2008 report by the National Academy of Sciences warns that if such a storm occurred today, we could experience widespread power blackouts with permanent damage to many key transformers. Solar Shield is a new and experimental forecasting system for the North American power grid," explains project leader Antti Pulkkinen, a Catholic University of America research associate working at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre. "We believe we can zero in on specific transformers and predict which of them are going to be hit hardest by a space weather event."
The troublemaker for power grids is the "GIC" – short for geomagnetically induced current. When a coronal mass ejection (a billion-ton solar storm cloud) hits Earth's magnetic field, the impact causes the field to shake and quiver. These magnetic vibrations induce currents almost everywhere, from Earth's upper atmosphere to the ground beneath our feet. Powerful GICs can overload circuits, trip breakers, and in extreme cases melt the windings of heavy-duty transformers.
This actually happened in Quebec on March 13, 1989, when a geomagnetic storm much less severe than the Carrington Event knocked out power across the entire province for more than nine hours. The storm damaged transformers in Quebec, New Jersey, and Great Britain, and caused more than 200 power anomalies across the USA from the eastern seaboard to the Pacific Northwest. A similar series of storms in October 2003 triggered a regional blackout in southern Sweden and may have damaged transformers in South Africa. Pulkkinen stresses that Solar Shield is experimental and has never been field-tested during a severe geomagnetic storm.
“The more data we can collect from the field, the faster we can test and improve Solar Shield. The next solar maximum is expected around 2013, so it's only a matter of time.“ Full article at: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/26oct_solarshield/

P2P industry requests regulatory frameworkAssociations representing the peer-to-peer (P2P) investment industry are pushing for more regulation of the emerging financial sector as the lack of a regulatory framework hampers further growth.
Five bodies - the Korea Internet Corporations Association, Korea Startup Forum, Korea P2P Finance Association, Marketplace Finance Association and Korea Fintech Industry Association - released a joint statement ahead of a series of bill review sessions that will be held through April.
Five bills concerning the regulation of the P2P industry are currently pending at the National Assembly.
“[The National Assembly] should pass the bills for consumer protection in the industry,” the statement said.
P2P companies, which operate online platforms connecting investors and borrowers, are currently not under the direct supervision of the financial authorities in Korea.
Due to the lack of a legal framework, the online lending firms, also known as marketplace lenders, have decided to police themselves as legislation intended to regulate the industry has been caught up in the National Assembly for more than a year.
Major players, such as Lendit and 8percent, proposed progressive self-regulatory measures that assigned members of the associations have to follow.
Among others, all members will be required to manage investor funds and borrowers’ interest payments in separate accounts to safeguard them in case of bankruptcy or other unforeseen events.
P2P investment transactions stood at 5 trillion won ($4.4 billion) as of the end of 2018, while the number of investors amounted to 250,000.
The major culprit behind the sector’s tarnished reputation is Roof Funding, once the third largest P2P player in Korea, after the CEO was arrested on accusations of fraud and misappropriation of funds last year.

Two of Ireland’s richest men have run up more than $12 billion of debt at their companies as the rest of the country proved model students for European austerity.
Now, with enthusiasm for high-risk bonds ebbing, Digicel Group Ltd.’s Denis O’Brien and Ardagh Group SA’s Paul Coulson are turning to the stock market to cut borrowings and fund growth.
The two Irishmen used high-risk, high-yield debt to build empires, with one selling mobile phones from the Caribbean to the South Pacific and the other creating the second-biggest U.S. glass-container maker. Last month, the pair, separately but almost simultaneously, laid out plans to sell shares for the first time.
“O’Brien and Coulson built global businesses and they couldn’t have done that without junk bonds,” said David Holohan, an analyst in Dublin with Merrion Capital. “But now there are signs that high-yield debt has topped out, so for businesses with high levels of it, adopting a different funding source will be necessary.”
With the Federal Reserve getting closer to raising interest rates for the first time since 2006, borrowing costs in the junk bond market have risen.
Average yields on high-yield dollar bonds increased to 6.96 percent from a record low 5.69 percent in June 2014 as demand for risky securities waned, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s U.S. High Yield Index.
Yields on Digicel’s 2022 bonds have risen to 8 percent from 6.37 percent a year ago. Ardagh’s 2021 dollar-denominated bonds yield 5.88 percent. O’Brien and Coulson declined to be interviewed for this story.
Since 2001, Digicel has accumulated $6.5 billion debt, mostly to build out networks across 31 regions from Haiti to Papua New Guinea. O’Brien turned to building the business outside Ireland, after making his fortune by selling Dublin-based Esat Telecom Group Plc to London-based BT Group Plc.
Digicel is now close to the limit of how much it can borrow under the terms of its bonds after dividend payments to O’Brien and a slump in the Jamaican dollar hurt the company’s earnings. In the year through March, about 12 percent of Digicel’s revenue was denominated in the Jamaican dollar.
Digicel, about 95 percent owned by O’Brien, has paid $1.1 billion of dividends since 2013, according to the listing document.
“They were already sailing closer to the wind than they normally would do, and then foreign exchange hit them and sent them further off course,” according to Stanley Martinez, a credit analyst at Legal & General Investment Management Ltd. in Chicago. “Part of the reason for this IPO is to correct that course.”
Though a slew of exceptions are laid out in Digicel’s listing documents, broadly, the company is prevented issuing more debt if total debt climbs above six times its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, according to company documents and interviews with analysts. The ratio was 5.4 times at the end of March. Digicel had $500 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of March.
Two years before O’Brien sold his business, Coulson took over as chairman of Ardagh, which traces its roots back to the 1932 foundation of the Irish Glass Bottle Company. He powered through 10 acquisitions to become the largest glass container maker in northern Europe and second-largest in the U.S. -- amassing about 5.5 billion euros ($6.1 billion) of debt in the process.
Last year, Ardagh sold $3.1 billion of senior high-yield debt in the U.S. to help refinance borrowing, making it one of the year’s biggest junk bond issuers. It also sold $710 million and 250 million euros of riskier payment-in-kind, or PIK, notes. About 100 million euros were used to finance a share buyback, according to a bondholder document last year.
“The group is clearly cognizant that they need to cut its leverage and not push bondholder patience to the brink,” said Jayanth Kandalam, a senior credit analyst at Lucror Analytics Pte. in Singapore. “The timing is good. The markets in the U.S. are still pretty nice.”
O’Brien’s Digicel last month said it may pay down part of its debt through an initial public offering of the mobile-services company. Days earlier, Coulson posted details of plans to IPO the metal unit of Ardagh Group.
To pay down debt, Ardagh plans to sell a minority stake in its metals division, newly named Oressa Ltd., and listing on it in New York by the year end. The unit may raise as much as 750 million euros of equity, according to Arjun Chandar, an analyst with JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York.
“The next move will be the IPO of the group, but I think that’ll be at the end of 2016 at the very earliest,” said Kandalam at Lucror.


According to Computacenter, due to the expectations of cloud computing intensifying, the datacenter needs to continually adapt to cope with planned and unplanned demands from the business.
Computacenter also states that cloud computing will infiltrate every organisation whether it’s with the CIO’s approval or not.
With off-premise options snapping at the heels of the corporate datacenter, IT departments need to ensure their on-premise services meet current and future business needs. And that means lower costs, greater agility and higher availability.
The way IT is consumed within the enterprise can be transformed by the benefits of cloud, including cost, flexibility and agility. The challenge for most organisations is maintaining control in the face of the increasing consumerisation of IT, whereby staff use their own IT in preference to corporate devices and applications.
Cloud gains much of its efficiency through very high utilisation, with many cloud services providers’ datacenters running at 50% or higher. In contrast, many enterprises run their datacenters at 10% utilisation or less.
Computacenter, Europe’s leading independent provider of IT infrastructure services, helps organisations find the best-fit, best-value solutions and strategies to make their datacenter more predictable, sustainable and affordable.
Computacenter has developed end-to-end solutions to datacenter transformation, its expertise and knowledge provides a perfect fit for a partnership that will help organisations drive outcomes in virtualisation, automation and the pathway to cloud.
As found IDC research, not using cloud is the greatest risk to business productivity:
- 90 percent of corporate datacenter capacity goes unused
- 98.9 percent of organisations now use at least one cloud service
- 23 percent of organisations have multiple cloud services in full-scale use
- 8 out of 10 employees use consumer cloud services to fill the corporate IT gap

It may sound you astounding but Director Anubhav Sinha has come up with an unusual idea of building up the sets on the sea for its upcoming untitled 3D venture.
It’s observed that the sets are vast and are surrounded over 200 metres on sea in Fiji. Anubhav Sinha known for flicks namely ‘Tum Bin’ and ‘Ra-One’ confirms that the sets are big and 90 percent of the flick is shot under the sea.
The director praised and thanked the Fiji government to help his team out in providing the infrastructure for his bizarre stage, which otherwise would have cost him over Rs. 2 crore.
Moreover, it will be exciting to witness Director’s new experiment, as it will be the first venture in B’wood carrying over the sea stage in the flick.

FREEDOM TO HATE
It’s enough to make one’s blood boil. The Islamic bloc in the United Nations won’t accept the inclusion of gays in any discussion of human rights. And why not? Because the member nations don’t believe we’re worthy of legal protection. In a letter to UN human rights officials, the Organization of the Islamic Conference says “abnormal sexual behavior” has “nothing to do with fundamental human rights.”
DEATH TO GAYS
Pamphlets call for gay executions • Russian law anti-gay • Harvard denies degrees • Extremist ejected • India moves to ban gay sex • Irish favour equal marriage • Governor vetoes gay marriage • TV campaign investigated
ALBERTA ENTERS 21ST CENTURY
Alberta vows to change archaic law • Judge says no to hate crime • Hate is the real sin • Gay frat boys at McGill • Calgary gay club closes • Feds close loophole
A lot of gay kids have been victims of homophobia but few have launched campaigns to fight it. That takes a special kind of person – someone like Jeremy Dias. When Dias was in Grade 10, his family moved from THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JEREMY
Alberta to Sault St. Marie in Ontario. There he shared his secret with a few friends. Someone let his secret slip and Dias was outed. The backlash from bigoted peers was painful, but it was the school’s official stance and the school board’s subsequent unwillingness to support his efforts to raise awareness about homophobia that really stung.
REPUBLICAN ANTI-GAY MOVEMENT
It used to be said there was very little difference between Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Despite their very different public personas, Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy held similar beliefs about most things. Politicians of different stripes could compromise and find common ground for the common good. That has changed dramatically. Today, it’s all-out war between Democrats and Republicans.
TECHNOLOGY: It's a scary new world
Blogs have been around since the earliest days of the internet. From personal diaries to do-it-yourself manuals and yes, even porn. Blogging is a way to express yourself, to share your interests and to rant – for all the world to read. But how can a person choose between the blogging ‘platforms’? How do you know if you should be blogging on Twitter, Tumblr or Livejournal? (Hint: You should not be blogging on Livejournal).
The Canadian University Queer Services Conference (CUQSC) is headed for Regina this year and will hold its seventh national meeting in the city May 2 to 6. It’s more than just a gabfest and will include workshops, an art show, social events, caucus meetings and an open microphone drag show, which should certainly make a nice break from caucus meetings and constitutional matters.
QUEERING YOUR BUSINESS
One way that businesses show they welcome GLBT customers is the rainbow sticker on the door. The problem with this is that this sticker can mean anything from “I’m a business who actively supports the GLBT community” to “My cousin put this on my door 12 years ago and I can’t remember what it means.” While I encourage businesses to show their pride in this way, consumers need to look for other clues to find out just how friendly a business is.
YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE
We all have a “life team” composed of family, friends, mentors and family physicians – people we turn to for advice when we have a difficult decision to make or require health care. Yet, for many, when it comes to making important investment decisions, we try to do it on our own.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PINK
On April 11, we will celebrate the International Day of Pink. It is a day when communities across the country – and across the world – unite in celebrating diversity and raising awareness to stop homophobic, transphobic and all forms of bullying.
THE MIRACLE OF PRIDE
Pride 2012 has been cancelled. Yes, this is the 25th anniversary of Pride in Winnipeg, but there will be no parties, no celebrations and no parade this summer. There is no money to stage it and no one to organize it. It died from lack of interest. It went with a whimper. ...It’s too early to write the obit. But it is not too much of a stretch to imagine it happening. This is our nightmare.
HOW TO DATE ONLINE
Thanks to the technology provided to us in this modern century, gone are the traditional methods of meeting that special someone at a queer club, through friends, at the office or via some other chance encounter. Sure, we all like to believe that fate plays a role in our romantic lives…but when looking for love in a world where we are slaves to work, busy schedules and our own personal activities, a lot of pressure is put on finding a partner—and internet dating sites allow us to ease the process along by putting fate into our own hands.
FASHION - Web exclusive
It has been said that a leopard can’t shed his spots, that a peacock is nothing without his plume and in a season where the powers that be demand nothing short of a print and pattern parade who can blame them. The trickiest task in navigating this season’s cheekiest checker is establishing exactly how bold you want your finger-“print” of fashion to be.

COMEDY FEST TAKES AIM AT BULLIES
There's nothing funny about bullying — especially in light of the growing number of LGBTT youth who've been driven to depression or even suicide after being bullied by their peers. But this year, organizers of the Winnipeg Comedy Festival (WCF) hope to add some levity to an ongoing debate that has so far proven pretty serious by assembling a panel of experts on bullying, LGBTT issues and the healing power of laughter.
ANGELS IN WINNIPEG
Endless praise has been bestowed upon Tony Kushner’s Angels In America: A gay fantasia on national themes ever since part one, Millennium Approaches, was first performed in San Francisco in 1991. Kushner uses two familiar narratives, gay men coming out and gay men stricken with AIDS, as a springboard into a God’s-eye view of the way faith, politics and society affect the human condition within a particular segment of American life.

IBM recently signed a 16-year lease to anchor SL Green’s One Madison Ave. — a 1.4-million-square-foot office tower in the Flatiron District — in what has become the largest lease deal for a New York City office space so far this year. The Armonk, N.Y.-based tech company will occupy 328,000 square feet in the yet-to-be-completed building. The lease covers portions of the ground floor, along with floors two and seven, as well as the entirety of floors eight through 10.
Notably, the deal included different asking rates for the various spaces. For instance, the asking rent for floors two through nine was $115 per square foot, whereas it was $160 per square foot for the tenth floor. The tenant was represented by Patrick Murphy, Josh Kuriloff and Winston Schromm of Cushman & Wakefield. Paul Glickman, Alex Chudnoff, Diana Biasotti and Ben Bass of JLL represented the landlord.
“We’re extremely proud to welcome IBM to One Madison Avenue,” said Andrew Mathias, president of SL Green. “IBM is an ideal anchor tenant for One Madison, which was designed for exactly this kind of forward-thinking office user.”
“Our new downtown hub will create a modern and dynamic experience for our employees, our clients and our ecosystem partners,” said Joanne Wright, IBM’s vice president of enterprise operations and services. “We see New York as an extraordinary center of talent and innovation, and we are confident our new home at One Madison will help attract the kind of talent we need to keep IBM at the vanguard of innovation.”
IBM has been looking for a suitable location to consolidate several of its existing Manhattan offices, including 590 Madison Ave. and 51 Astor Place. The company’s footprint at One Madison will be smaller than the combined square footage of its older office spaces, but it will benefit from a host of amenities that will be added during the development, which is being led by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and is expected to be completed in November 2023.
In 2005, SL Green paid MetLife $918 million for One Madison Avenue and later announced it would construct a new glass tower above the existing 900,000-square-foot limestone structure. Once completed, the tower will feature a DOAS HVAC system to circulate fresh outside air; a 13,000-square-foot, full-service restaurant; a 10,000-square-foot artisanal food market; a 7,000-square-foot, tenant-only, club-style lounge; and a 5,000-square-foot shared tenant roof deck. Additionally, IBM will also have a client center to showcase its artificial intelligence and hybrid cloud technologies.
One Madison Ave.’s occupancy rate currently stands at roughly 30% after Chelsea Piers Fitness also signed a 20-year lease for 56,000 square feet at the building some five months earlier. According to CommercialEdge data for January, Manhattan’s office vacancy hit 12.8%, with the Gramercy Park submarket (which includes the Flatiron District where the One Madison development is unfolding) close to the metro’s average at 12.4%.

We're brought up to believe that if we go to school, get a degree, we'll get a career, make money, be happy. But what happens when that doesn't work? It's definitely a new era where what once worked may not anymore.
I just finished watching The Company Men and it definitely got me thinking. My Darling thought it was depressing, but in actuality it's very real. Although, I guess reality can be depressing.
Maybe if some of those CEO's took a pay cut, there would be more jobs. Maybe the rich should pay more taxes. Maybe the poor should try a little harder so the state's aren't paying so much to take care of them. It's so easy to blame others for our problems. It's the economy. It's the President. It's my jerk of a boss. It's because that teacher gave me a bad grade. My parent's didn't raise me right...etc. (Don't worry Mom I'm NOT talking about you!)
I often find myself getting very bitter if I think about these things
too hard. I did everything right! I did my homework, took my tests,
didn't get grounded, made the grades, went to college, had a decent GPA,
graduated from a great university, got a job, went back to school, started a new career...or so I thought....five years and several jobs later I'm
still wondering what the heck I'm doing!
At the end of the day who's fault is it? Of course those outside influences might be factors but are we really doing all that we can to live full, happy, ethical lives? Are we living within our means? Are we appreciative of the sacrifices that others make for us? Are we working our tails off and giving 110 percent? Are we making time for the people who support us? Are we doing the things we enjoy? Do we need to adjust our definition of success?
Here's the thing: money is important. It is completely necessary to have a job that pays your bills and gives you a little extra, but it is just as crucial to have time for the people that love you. At the end of the day money makes life easy, but people make it all worth doing.
It's all about balance. Do something you enjoy, but you have to find
something that also pays the bills. It's OK to not know what you want to
do. We are surrounded by people who are unsure everyday. People who
didn't pick a good fit for them the first, second or even third time. If
you don't try you'll never know, and I'm definitely talking about more
than just a job when I say that.
I by no means regret my degree. If I had to do it over again, I most definitely would and I'd definitely still go to OU! ;) I know that even when I'm not doing what I went to school for the fact that I earned one in the first place helps get a foot in the door. We all have to believe that hard work pays off, but in those moments that it doesn't, if you're surrounded by friends and family, the journey is ALWAYS worth it no matter how dark and twisty it is.

Through the upcycling of kimonos, we aim to increase the number of people who cherish and love things, and create a society where everyone can live with a smile.
■What is "upcycling"?
"Upcycle" is to recycle in such a way that the resulting product is of a higher value than the original item. In today's world, it is gaining attention as a sustainable approach.
We create various products using repurposed Japanese beautiful Kimono fabric. We make the life of people all over the world beautiful with the kimono upcycle.
In edo period, Kimono has been worn for many years, being untied, washed, and tailored over and over again. And still those that could no longer be worn were remodeled as a kimono for children, baby 's diapers, and thong of clogs (Japanese sandals and Geta).
The Japanese people had a mentality of valuing things because they believed that things had a life of their own. And when people have this mentality, their hearts are rich. AKIZAKURA is working on "upcycling" to enrich the minds of people all over the world.
Japanese have wore Kimono for a long time. Kimonos as we know them today came into being during the Heian period (794-1192). However nowadays, those are not used and just left in the closet. It is said that the amount of the clothes is 800 million pieces.
We take over the Kimono from grandmother to mother, mother to daughter. So we cannot throw away, we cannot sell in affordable price either. Can you throw away such a valuable clothes that has a strong tie with your family?
Furthermore, kimono is one of Japanese traditional crafts, and as professional craftsmen carefully make them piece by piece using skills handed down since the old time. You can feel the deep attraction by being conscious of its features and process to make. kimono described as a "wearable art form", because they are much more than just a piece of "clothing".
We want to leave the kimono made by craftsmanship to future generations.
All of AKIZAKURA's kimono fans are hand-made by skilled hat craftsmen in Kyoto.Because they are made by craftsmen who have been making fans for many years, the fans are not only beautiful but also durable and long-lasting. Please enjoy your daily life with beautiful products made with Japanese craftsmanship.
In addition, the number of craftsmen is decreasing year by year due to mechanization. However, products with human warmth cannot be made by machines. We ask craftsmen to create our products, partly because we want to support the craftsmen who put their heart and soul into their work.

Jackson, Franz & the Salty Dog – “Yellow Fire ” – [Delmark]
A recent recording (not a reissue) of the Salty Dogs, a Chicago style trad band from Purdue that has been around since the late 1950s! Still playing great music (most of the tunes on this CD could have been heard in some Chicago jazz joints since the early 1920s) this is just great, swinging, driving, hot jazz. Some good vocals, just a bit of hokum – but check them out!

Baltimore County Design Build
This Towson family had an outdated kitchen that did not function well for their growing family. Function wasn’t the only element lacking, the kitchen was outdated and the look was straight from the 1980’s. The homeowner contracted with Owings Brothers Contracting for a Design-Build kitchen addition.
The process included meeting with Owings architect to determine the needs of their family, as it relates to the footprint of the home. Drawings were then made, presented by the Owings team and at that time the homeowners were able to review the plans and decide any changes that were desired. Design-Build was chosen by this family because of the cooperative team effort between design professional and contractor for planning and building, allowing for the best finished product at the budgeted price. Their new kitchen offers the homeowners the ease in use, as well as, the beauty of a more current look.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Since this is a freebie, I am going to do my morally grey, or sorta bad guys that we actually like. Maybe we can call it bad boy syndrome? It like…Dexter, we know he’s a serial killer, yet we cheer him on. Let’s just pretend this is a follow up to last week’s favorite villains. So, without further ado, and in no particular order…
Nevernight (Nevernight Chronicle #1) by Jay Kristoff
Can we all just agree that she’s the baddest of bad asses? This chick is out for revenge and her assassinating skills and magical abilities are awesome.
Jacks Prince of Hearts
Legendary (Caraval #2) by Stephanie Garber
Be still my beating heart, Jacks, because you can have it. In the second book we are given this sort of villain who is seriously so swoon worthy and has that touch of bad that is irresistible.
Truthwitch (Witchlands #1) by Susan Dennard
This hired assassin is hot hot hot! Oh my, I can’t wait for the Bloodwitch (#3) book to come out as he is featured on the cover. Dear Aeduan, if you want to hunt me down from my blood scent, then by all means, come and get me.
A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic #3) by V.E. Schwab
Despite being my least favorite of the series, we get some serious Holland time in this book, and what a poor little baby tucked into such a powerful body.
Shadow of the Fox (Shadow of the Fox #1) by Julie Kagawa
Maybe it’s because this book is based on Japanese folklore. But I love that this guy has to suppress his feelings to keep the demon inside him from taking over his body.
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
I mean, this psychotic computer is so dear to me. How can it not be?
Ace of Shades (The Shadow Game #1) by Amanda Foody
I know I just pointed him out in the Favorite CinnaMan Rolls post, but this guy is just so lovable even when he is leading on Enne. Like he’s totally sketchy, and pulls some underhanded stuff in his town, but all he wants is the best for his gang.
The Alchemists of Loom (The Loom Saga #1) by Elise Kova
Uhm, this chick kicked dragons and harvested their organs. Seriously, how barbaric? But she’s still such a freaking bad ass!
This Savage Song (The Monsters of Verity #1) by Victoria Schwab
This monster plays music and reaps your soul while you confess your sins. I love him. Gimme.
Shadow and Bone (Shadow and Bone #1) by Leigh Bardugo
I feel like this is a huge debate. Like there are so many Darkling lovers out there. And this sick twisted guy is just so, UGHHH! Like why are you so evil?
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of Air #1) by Holly Black
Well duh, of course he is on this list. This lovable bully that we hate so much we just love him? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a little prick.

CHICAGO (AP) — It'd be enough to make Beethoven roll over in his grave.
Members of one of the classical music world's most celebrated orchestras will perform Sunday behind bars. Looking on will be celebrated conductor, Riccardo Muti (MOO' tee).
The concert in Chicago's Juvenile Temporary Detention Center is a culmination of a weeklong musical workshop for inmates organized in part by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Muti has made community outreach a priority since taking the helm of the CSO in 2010. The goal is to inspire at-risk youth and impart greater appreciation for music.
The detention center holds mainly teenage boys awaiting trial on charges ranging from dope dealing to murder.
The works being performed include compositions inmates helped compose. Italian-born Muti will be in attendance but wasn't expected to conduct.

Sweet Mysteries of Life
You can purchase your copy here.
The stories in “Sweet Mysteries of Life” deal with the quotidian mysteries of our daily lives. They deal with human relating to one another in often humorous, possibly serious, and sometimes murderous ways. Many of the stories are true ….and yet not true. That is, not completely true. A few are pure fantasy. In some cases the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
As in life, the stories deal with human passions, good and bad, but they change and transmute as we pass through different stages our life, from the tiny infant to the elderly woman musing. These stories explore the relationship of parent and child, of lovers, of husband and wife, of neighbors, of family. They explore, with humor, our relationship with authority as in “The Headmaster,” or with deadly seriousness, the government, as in “Escape”. They explore the horrors of a future world in “The Sooey Pill,” of Bureaucracy as in, “Facing the Faceless…”
While each short vignette tells a story in the old fashioned sense, there is always embedded a hidden mystery, set in the context of the super heated world that we live in. Often it is left to the reader to discover what has happened, as in “Sight Unseen,”. In most of the short vignettes, something has been set in motion that will change he lives of the protagonists in large ways and small unless as in “A Funny Thing Happened…” the protagonist is completely oblivious. Here it is left to the reader to discover what has happened.
Sometimes the stories are told in a male voice, sometimes in a female voice as they stumble through the various stages of life, from the high hopes of youth to the frustrations of id-life to the final chapters, recalling a time when life held such promise.
I have decided to post a new chapter from “Sweet Mysteries of Life” every few weeks, in hopes that you, the reader, will enjoy them. Can you identify and solve – when necessary – the hidden mysteries? If you do, please email me at sweetmysteries4 [at] gmail [dot] com. Tell me what you have found and if I may post your name and comments.

Samsung has finally called a halt to its production of the Galaxy Note 7. Following on from its earlier problems with the devices spontaneously setting alight, it seems that the replacement also suffered from the same problem. Samsung has clearly not found out the exact cause of the original cause for the batteries to overheat, even though there was some suggestion that the replacement phones may have been affected by a different issue from their predecessors.

Love And Longing In Bombay
Love and Longing in Bombay
Love and Longing in Bombay by Vikram Chandra. Love and Longing in Bombay is a dazzling collection of loosely intertwined stories. Love and Longing in Bombay is an ambitious, superbly controlled, gracefully written, humane book. In a waterfront bar in Bombay, an enigmatic civil servant tells stories to a group of friends.
Finally there is love and the way this guy falls in love was so crazy that I think that the author's perception of love is not my cup of tea. The five stories are all love stories, tamil films 2012 yet they are also stylish mysteries.
Our main protagonist visits a bar where an elderly man called Subramaniam, who is retired and very respected amongst the crowd. Follows the Matroska style of narration vis a vis story within a story within a story. If a picture paints a thousand words, then sometimes a thousand words can create just as many vivid images.
See a Problem
Anyways, the ending was not to my taste, but I could at least digest it. His next novel is looked forward to with eager anticipation.
Some stories are binding but most specially the last one is too off the tracks and just doesnt make sense. Apparently this is my th review. This is high-order stuff and Chandra pulls most of it brilliantly. These stories are not, in the contemporary Anglo-American mode, temples to the symbol, or museums of the one resonant image that controls meaning. My husband asked me to lie.
Vikram Chandra currently divides his time between Mumbai and Berkeley, California, where he teaches creative writing at the University of California. The stories themselves have a perfect, fractal symmetry, each stroke containing the whole in a series of breathtaking, ever-expanding reflections. He was so rude to his sister and her family, who were only trying to help him. Yet the other stories in the book didn't hold my attention in the same way, although they were undoubtedly well-crafted and well-told.
The end waxes lyrical however. Once in a while you come across a book that makes you read with a kind of greed, as if you were breaking a fast. Kama showcased sex and identity crisis horribly, the ending had a will-understand thing, well we don't Mr. All in all, a love letter to the city, one that bids fair to challenge Rushdie's work for biggest homer. There is increased coverage of writers from around the world, as well as from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and of contextual topics, including film and television, music, and art.
It's a world with no guarantee that all explained, not until such explanations catch you by the throat. Since it was set in India, I thought it might be by an Indian writer, but I wasn't sure. It was easy to see this story in diaspora, it had identity crisis as theme.
My Postcolonial Short Story class seems to be working, if this reception is anything to go by. Not as much a tour de force as A Fine Balance, but an enjoyable, and at times very poignant read.
The Oxford Companion to English Literature has long been established as the leading reference resource for students, teachers, scholars, and general readers of English literature. Could it have been that Arundhati Roy and her book has had more than their fair share of acclaim? Having giving that disclaimer, I truly did not like this book.
This book is like a Bollywood movie - every detail in the surrounding is described to perfection and it just flows together. Do you get the impression this collection is all about Story?
This eclectic mix of stories on the vast canvas of one of the most intriguing cities of the world is quite a read. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. The gods of poetry and death descend on a house in India to vie for the soul of a wounded monkey.
It is fantastic, a story ending a set of stories about stories, explaining that it was story that brought the storyteller and his wife together in the first place. The best part of all these stories is that they seem like happening to someone you know or probably yourself. Of course, the truth proves to be very much other than this, as the seedy revelations come tumbling out in typical police-procedural style. Lots of detours within the stories, left me with nothing other than scratching my head. The Companion has always been a quick and dependable source of reference for students, and the new edition confirms its pre-eminent role as the go-to resource of first choice.
She wanted to tell him that the past was responsible for him, for his beauty, but of course there was nothing to say, no possible way to explain. Each exhibits a formal unity and stylish assurance that compares more closely to the subtle undertatements of such other Indian writers as R.
An enormously satisfying, exciting and enriching book, Vikram Chandra's novel draws the reader deep into the lives of detective Sartaj Singh and Ganesh Gaitonde, the most wanted gangster in India. On the surface it's a mystery story, as a cop tries to track down the killer of what seems at first to be a traditional middle-class family's ultra-respectable father. For a cynic she despairs a lot.
