Any organization’s human resource management department has its responsibilities cut out and is mandated to ensure all employees produce optimal performances. When the output of each worker is dismal and regarded as poor given the standards set out by each organization, then the department head is required to assess and provide information to the entire management through a proper report highlighting the underlying issues. The main factors that lead to poor performance are ability and motivation. As a manager leading the human services administration, checking each employee’s ability and motivational factors help understand the reasons for poor performance. When an employee is less motivated in their daily work, the output is definitely predicted to fall. When abilities are the issue after investigation, solutions tend to differ from solutions to help motivate workers.
Several solutions are brought forth when such problems present themselves, and every problem comes with unique solutions depending on the nature and line of operations of every organization. Therefore, the following interventions are practically possible to help ensure employees improve their performance. One retraining the worker to help enhance the ability to find solutions to dynamic issues in daily management operations. The other intervention could be to reassign the employee to other positions and responsibilities under which they can perform well. Such might improve the work output if the problem was a mismatch of responsibilities and the training the employee partook in earlier before being offered the opportunity to serve. Third, it could supply and allocate more resources towards employee activities since that could hinder the worker from meeting the set targets. When evaluation of work indicates that activities being carried out demand more resources, it is prudent for a manager to allocate more resources to such employee to improve production (Weiner, 1982).
Fourth, it will be proper to refit the worker’s other tasks and job description that either reduces responsibilities to enhance the technical knowledge that the employee possesses if, indeed, firing the worker is not an option I have as the head of the human services department. Other interventions that could come in handy in solving poor performance issues include setting targets for the employee and continuously monitoring how there are doing towards meeting the set targets. Furthermore, allowing corporation and assistance from colleagues amongst employees helps improve interpersonal skills and, in the long run, helps improve results from worse to good results. These are just some of the intervention strategies I would employ as an organization’s manager of the human services department.
Given the set-up of an organization and the nature of the operations witnessed in daily occurrence, issues of diversity and inclusion crop up and require pre-requisite strategies to deal with such kind of new emergence in management and administration. For instance, to deal with the problem of inclusion and for all employees to feel they belong to the organization, such measures would be practicable for me to use. One, dressing code to be used in the organization will be similar and uniform for males and females. The idea of having a similar uniform is to show equity in terms of employees’ value to the organization. Two, structuring the office layout and adopting the open office structure to allow easy interaction amongst employees. This helps everybody manage their interpersonal skills and sets the stage for more people to know each other better and work as a family. This enhances inclusion within the organization, thereby acting as motivation to increase each worker’s production levels. Such are just some strategies to help enhance inclusion in an organization. If the organization wants to exclude co-workers, then applying the direct opposite will enable them to achieve exactly that of exclusion. Other ways could be to create teams with specific mandates and responsibilities and put them under one leader. For instance, if the organization can create departments for finance, marketing, human resource, administration, security, transport, and others, then have qualified individuals run them. Each department can have a head that reports to the general manager. Their work becomes coordinated and easier to manage since the departmental heads are answerable for what happens to their team. Within the teams, inclusion is enhanced, and working as a team helps improve productivity in each department and the entire organization.
A manager creating an environment that allows the inclusion in an organization that has proven to increase production should be a top agenda. Some of these issues require strategies developed as policies within the organization. From dress code to the structure of operations to the mode of conducting business within the organization ought to be made policies. This enables proper coordination and smooth operations within the organization. Some may not be possible to be policies, but rules and regulations enshrined within the organizational policy are needed for uniformity in management.

The Baltimore Ravens haven’t had much luck this season, key veterans departed during the offseason and players have had to step up to the plate time and time again.
Some Ravens have had to step into larger roles and here are five of those players that have been able to answer the call in recent games, including the 33-27 win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday night.
WR Kamar Aiken
Since Steve Smith Sr. went down with a season-ending Achilles tear, Kamar Aiken has been the Ravens’ top target. He has averaged six catches and 68-yards per game, with two touchdowns in the last three games.
That isn’t including a six-catch, 62-yard performance against the San Diego Chargers when he helped carry the offense to the win after Smith went down with his injury.
Aiken’s coming off six catches for 80-yards against the Browns, it has been said that he has a lot of doubters in the game, but he has consistently produced when he has been needed the most.
DT Timmy Jernigan
While Brandon Williams has been dominant against the opposition running game, Timmy Jernigan has helped offset some of the pass rush lost from the departed Haloti Ngata.
Jernigan’s hits have knocked out quarterbacks in back-to-back weeks with the Rams’ Case Keenum being ruled out of the rest of the game with a concussion and Josh McCown exiting the game with a collarbone injury.
RB Javorius Allen
Justin Forsett went down with a broken arm against the St. Louis Rams, but even before he was ruled out for the year, Javorius Allen had to take on a much bigger role than what he had expected. This is because running-back Lorenzo Taliaferro suffered a season-ending foot injury.
In his first game as a Baltimore starter, Allen had 55-yards on 12 carrieds, averaging 4.6-yards per rush with four catches for 29-yards and a touchdown. He put up over 100-yards the week before against the Rams after Forsett went down.
CB Shareece Wright
Shareece Wright had a start to forget with the Ravens, giving up four catches for 132-yards and a touchdown against his previous team, the San Francisco 49ers in week 6.
On Monday night, Wright was the Ravens’ highest-rated defender, making five tackles, breaking up two passes and allowed just three completions for 20-yards while being targeted 12 times in the game.
The cornerback has been praised by defensive coordinator Dean Pees, Wright has allowed just eight catches over the past five games and has helped the Ravens find a trustworthy cover in that position.
C John Urschel
Since John Urschel had trouble with his shotgun snaps in the week 8 win over San Diego, there hasn’t been much talk about him and that, more than likely, is a good thing. He has stepped in for the injured Jeremy Zuttah, who is on the injured reserve list,
Urschel held his own against the Browns’ first-round rookie nose tackle Danny Shelton on Monday, that’s all while playing out of his natural guard position. The Ravens have only given up one sack over the past two games.


To the Editor:
Re ''Halliburton Defends Record in Iraq on Capitol Hill'' (news article, July 23):
On July 22, Halliburton representatives claimed before Congress that I was not qualified to judge the company's performance. Earlier this year, when I was its employee, Halliburton management gave me the task, among other things, to scrutinize all of Kuwait's Kellogg, Brown & Root subcontracts and purchase orders, to report whether legitimate competition took place in more than 5,000 procurement transactions.
Did Halliburton's management assign me, a ''naïve'' Army chaplain, to evaluate criteria for paying subcontracts because it thought that I would miss the fact that hundreds of subcontract files had little or no documentation to demonstrate cost controls? Or did Halliburton give me this task because of the credibility that my 10 years as an Army officer with numerous fiscal responsibilities would provide to its reports?
Now that Halliburton has implicitly announced before Congress that it used unqualified staff to gather critical information for government audits and reports, I recommend that the Justice Department expand its current investigation of Halliburton beyond Al Tamimi and La Nouvelle subcontracts to include all of the procurement actions generated through the Kuwait and Iraq contracts.

Located at the Fashion Show Mall, Maggiano’s Little Italy is a welcomed addition to the many restaurants in Las Vegas. Maggiano’s has a nice ambiance, beautiful dark wood decor, and the atmosphere is pleasant and not overly pretentious. My family and I were celebrating the holidays so we decided to eat here on Christmas Eve. We had our three kids with us and the restaurant was very accommodating. They brought plastic cups out for all of the kids and constantly refilled our bread basket.
For our Entrees we started with Filet of salmon. It was served with garlic and white wine sauce, orzo and spinach. The salmon was very moist and flavorful.
We also ordered the Chicken Picatta. The chicken breasts were sauteed with capers, lemon butter and served with angel hair aglio olio. The lemon sauce was tasty and not too overpowering.
My oldest son ordered the Meat Lasagna and he ate nearly all of it. It had pasta sheets layered with Ricotta cheese, crumbled meatballs, Italian sausage and marinara.Then it was topped with Provolone cheese and meat sauce.
My youngest son ordered Pasta with Butter. It was plain and simple but they got exactly what he wanted.
For our sides we chose the red crispy potatoes and the green beans with bacon and crispy onions. They were both amazing and paired perfectly with our meal.

This was not a fact-finding mission that Tlaib and Omar wanted to embark on. Tlaib and Omar wanted to go on an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda trip. The trip was being financed by the Jew-hating NGO Miftah. Miftah advocates for the BDS Movement and for terrorism against Israel.
In fact, Miftah praised Wafa Idris on their website in 2006. Wafa Idris was the Palestinian terrorist who killed one Israeli civilian and injured 150 people in a 2002 suicide bombing in downtown Jerusalem. Miftah has also accused Israel of “massacres,” “apartheid,” “summary executions” of Palestinian youth and “Judaizing” Jerusalem.
The group also engages in blood-libels against the Jewish people, saying that Jews kill non-Jewish children and use their blood in religious rituals.
Shame on the Democrat Party for admonishing Israel for preventing these two neo-Nazi members of congress from entering Israel. #Jexodus!
Exposed: What Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were planning to do
The Palestinian groups that sponsored the canceled trip to Israel by Tlaib and Omar promoted anti-Semitism, pushed boycotts of the Jewish state, sympathized with terrorists, and claimed Jews use “the blood of Christians in during Passover.” Read More…
By JTA Staff, August 18, 2019:
By now it seems clear that Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are not going to be visiting Israel or the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria.
Israel’s government announced Thursday that it would not allow the Democratic congresswomen to make their scheduled visit this weekend because both have declared support for the Israel boycott movement. A 2017 law entitles the State to deny entry to boycott activists.
(Tlaib was granted entry on a humanitarian trip to visit her grandmother in the West Bank. First she accepted, but hours later rejected.)
Explaining the decision, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu cited the lawmakers’ itinerary, which he said “reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it.”
Where they would have gone
In broad strokes, the itinerary — titled “Delegation to Palestine” — took Tlaib and Omar through major Palestinian Authority (PA) population centers in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, and to a string of meetings with pro-PA nonprofits and activists, as well as international human rights groups.
It featured no meetings with Israeli officials of any political persuasion, including Arab lawmakers. The plan also did not feature any extended time spent within Israel’s internationally recognized borders.
(On Friday, Omar tweeted that “I planned to hold meetings with members of the Knesset (both Jewish and Arab) along with Israeli security officials.”)
Who organized the trip
Miftah, a PA NGO chaired by Ashrawi, organized the trip. Its website claims its mission is to “promote the principles of democracy and good governance within various components of Palestinian society” and to “engage local and international public opinion and official circles on the Palestinian cause.”
The group, like many PA civil society organizations, supports the movement to boycott Israel. But it has also praised PA suicide bombers and published an age-old anti-Semitic stereotype, for which it later apologized. Netanyahu described Miftah as “an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel.”
A report on the group’s site from 2006 about PA women in the second intifada praises Wafa Idris, who killed one Israeli civilian and injured 150 people in a 2002 suicide bombing in downtown Jerusalem. The report says Idris, the first female suicide bomber of the second intifada, “marked the beginning of a string of Palestinian women dedicated to sacrificing their lives for the cause.”
Years later, in 2013, Miftah staffer Nawaf Al Zaru posted an article on its site criticizing President Barack Obama for hosting a Passover seder at the White House. In the article, Al Zaru repeated a false accusation that Jews kill non-Jewish children and use their blood in religious rituals.
“Does Obama in fact know the relationship, for example, between ‘Passover’ and ‘Christian blood’..?! Or ‘Passover’ and ‘Jewish blood rituals?!’” Al Zaru wrote. “Much of the chatter and gossip about historical Jewish blood rituals in Europe are real and not fake as they claim; the Jews used the blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover.”

The Pac-12 tournament comes with some added drama this postseason, with the top-seeded Arizona Wildcats at the center of a FBI wiretap scandal. For now, it looks like it’s business as usual for head coach Sean Miller and the Wildcats but how much of distraction will this be for the team, and are Arizona’s top players focused on the conference tournament – and even NCAA – after announcing they’ll jump to the pros at the end of the year.
Here’s a look at some free sports betting picks on the favorites and live underdogs for the Pac-12 tournament, which tips off at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this week.
Arizona Wildcats +180
Even after a dark cloud parked itself over this program, Arizona remains the team to beat in the Pac-12. The Wildcats won five of their final six games, with the lone loss coming in overtime at Oregon following the news of the FBI’s investigation into possible player payments. Arizona did, however, fail to cover in the final three games, so perhaps that is a sign of things to come.
The Wildcats will have star Allonzo Trier in the lineup for the Pac-12 tournament after he was suspended following a PED investigation. Arizona is set to play the winner of the Colorado/Arizona State game, and might have a rooting interest in the rival Sun Devils after losing to Colorado earlier in the year. With the motivation of their studs in question and all the uncertainty around the program, bettors may want to look elsewhere when it comes to value in the Pac-12 postseason.
USC Trojans +250
Southern Cal has a chance to take some real momentum into the conference tournament, but had its four-game winning streak snapped by UCLA in the regular season finale. The Trojans lost standout forward Bennie Boatwright to a season-ending knee injury in mid-February but coach Andy Enfield has kept the team intact and has USC sitting on the NCAA tournament bubble entering the postseason. Southern Cal desperately needs a good showing to crack the Selection Committee.
The Trojans are slated as the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 tournament and set to play the winner of the Washington/Oregon State game. They dropped the Beavers in each of their two meetings but lost to the Huskies back in late December. Bettors shouldn’t put too much weight into that result, with USC maturing as a team since then, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
UCLA Bruins +300
The Bruins are the No. 4 seed in the Pac-12 tournament, and waiting for the winner of the Stanford/Cal game. UCLA won both meeting with Cal and split the two games against the Cardinal, with the loss coming in overtime. The Bruins stubbled a bit at the end of the year, playing a road-heavy slate that found UCLA away from home in five of their final seven games.
The Bruins are hoping to have guard Jaylen Hands back for the tournament, after he sat out the finale with an ankle injury. The pace of the postseason can be trying on injured players and Steve Alford doesn’t go too far down his bench in terms of reliable depth. Alford may be coaching for his job this postseason, but will his players help his cause?
Utah Utes +700
The Utes are actually the No. 3 seed in the Pac-12 tournament, and will play the winner of the Oregon/Washington State game. Utah saved its best basketball for the back half of the conference slate, winning six of its final seven games while going 5-2 ATS in that stretch. They beat Oregon back in late December and took two wins over the Cougars, so there’s value with Utah advancing.
The Utes are another Pac-12 team on the NCAA tournament bubble and while they exceeded expectations by finishing third in the conference despite a massive turnover in talent, Utah will need a deep run into the postseason and likely a win over Arizona or Southern Cal to get its named called on Selection Sunday. The Utes are always great at home but struggle to find that same success on the road, with their scoring production dropping almost 10 points when away from Salt Lake City.

A contemporary adaptation of an indigenous Huichol teaching tale, illustrated with traditional yarn drawings by Huichol artisans
• Shares the hidden treasures of a nature-based indigenous culture
• A teaching tool for multicultural studies for children ages 6 to 9
• Explains who the Huichol people are and the symbolism of the images used by the artists
The Huichol Indians live in the remote regions of the Sierra Madre Mountains of western Mexico, where geographic isolation has allowed them to retain their culture and spiritual traditions in the face of colonization. Their nature-based way of life makes no distinction between the sacred and the secular, and they express their reverence for the powers of the earth by regarding all elements in nature as family.
The Journey of Tunuri and the Blue Deer is a modern adaptation of a traditional Huichol story depicting a young child finding his (or her) personal task in life by connecting with the powers of nature. The story is told through the experiences of young Tunuri, who becomes lost in the woods. He meets the magical Blue Deer--a messenger between the worlds of mortals and deities--who introduces Tunuri to Father Sun, Mother Earth, and others in the natural world, while leading him back to his human family. Through this lovely tale and the vivid illustrations done in the medium of traditional Huichol yarn drawings, children can learn about their place in the sacred web of life.
About the Author
James Endredy is a practicing shaman of Hungarian descent who learned his craft from formal initiations with the peyote shamans of Mexico and through 30 years of living with and learning from shamanic cultures in North and South America. He is actively involved in preserving historic alchemy texts as well as the world’s indigenous cultures and sacred sites. The award-winning author of several books, including Advanced Shamanism, Teachings of the Peyote Shamans, Ecoshamanism, and Earthwalks for Body and Spirit, he lives in California.
Maria Hernandez De La Cruz lives in a small village within the San Andreas ceremonial center in the Huichol Sierra. A highly accomplished artist, she began making yarn drawings as a child. Long before starting work on this book, she had a dream vision of Tunuri while on a pilgrimage to the sacred desert of Wirikuta--and thus was not at all surprised when asked to illustrate this story.
Casimiro De La Cruz Lopez comes from a village near the ceremonial center of Santa Catarina in the Huichol Sierra, where he spends much of his time helping his father, who has been the elected spiritual leader of their community for many years. While doing much of the yarn work for this story alongside María, Casimiro was also instrumental in translating the author’s and Maria’s visions into two-dimensional images.
"A strong addition to folktale collections."
— Linda Kenton, School Library Journal, January 2004
"A creative extension of the oral tradition of Huichol culture."
— Spirit of Change, May/June 2004
"Simply but eloquently tells the story of how nature and human lives are connected."
— Troy-Michelle Reinhardt, ForeWord, 2004, Vol.7 No3
". . . marvelously illustrated with colorful yarn pictures by Maria Hernandez de la Cruz and Casimiro de la Cruz Lopez, and includes information about the Huichol people, their sacred symbols and their art. Ages 6-9 (and to be enjoyed at any age)."
— Light of Consciousness, Winter 2004
"A highly recommended addition to school and community library Native American collections for young readers."
— The Midwest Book Review, February 2004

In an interview with Christine Varney, a newly nominated Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust by the Obama administration, she said that Google is a monopoly and should be investigated. If her nomination succeeds, we could see her going after the search giant in short order.
“[Google] has acquired a monopoly in internet online advertising"
"[Google is] quickly gathering market power in what I would call an online computing environment in the clouds," she added.
“When all our enterprises move to computing in the clouds and there is a single firm that is offering a comprehensive solution, you're going to see the repeat of Microsoft.”
It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds -- I'm thinking that Google's extreme consciousness of potential antitrust issues, and their ability and willingness to make changes quickly will save them from trouble. What do you think?

Chris Brown Coming "This Christmas"
Making a quick step in jumping to his next acting stint after his debut in "Stomp the Yard", Chris Brown has reportedly landed a role in family-friendly holiday feature "This Christmas (2007)" which sees him once more sharing screen with "Yard" co-star Columbus Short.
"We're doing another movie together," Short confirmed while joking that he and Brown are on their way to becoming the next Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. "It's great to keep us working together; we're trying to be the new, young rat pack."
Like in the previous picture, Brown is poised to play the younger brother of Short's character who is also an aspiring singer. In addition, the R&B singer will also contribute his singing skills to the film soundtrack, making a cover of the title tune as well as "Try a Little Tenderness", a song made popular by Otis Redding in 1967.
Made under Screen Gems banner, the picture is said by Short to be 'The Family Stone' meets 'Waiting to Exhale'." Its story will center on the Whitfield family whose members come together for the holidays after living their own lives separately for four years. Shooting has already begun yesterday, January 8, under Screen Gems banner.
Apart from Brown and Short, other cast members include Regina King, Mekhi Phifer, Loretta Devine, Delroy Lindo, and Nia Long. All will come under the direction of Preston Whitmore who is also in charge to pen the script with Phifer producing.

I don't know what I like more about sake... I could say the taste, flavor or the sensation of it in my mouth but let's be honest, I love the feeling of being a giant with those tiny cups. It's like a tea party for adults. When studying food culture and health, we see a relationship between libations and health. However, it was just drunken ranting until now. To my delight, someone has done some pretty good research on this and opened the door to what I already knew: moderate drinkers are healthier. I recently attended a lecture at Harvard University's Healthy Plates, Healthy Lives conference and listened to Dr. Eric Rimm extol the virtues of alcohol, which include: increase in HDL (good) cholesterol, an increase in insulin sensitivity, and a decrease in inflammation.
With this knowledge in hand, I feel it is my duty to bring all of you some new and noteworthy alcohol options you may not have tried. This past Friday, I had the chance to visit The Joy of Sake in New York for its 11th annual celebration. This event was the largest sake tasting in the world, outside of Japan, and the cups may have been petite but the interest was enormous. The place was packed with foodies sampling the widest variety of sake I had ever seen. They presented over 400 premium sakes with appetizers to match the theme. From En Japanese Brasserie, serving up torotaku, which is fresh tuna belly tartare in a nori wrap, to SushiSamba's offering of yellowtail tiradito with avocado, pickled red cabbage, crispy wonton skin and aji amarillo, amazing treats to tempt your taste buds lined the hall. A few of my favorite sake samples were Zipang Sparking Sake and Kamoizumi Shusen Junmai Ginjo better known as "Three Dots". Sake, like wine, is about finding the bottle that speaks to you, however, there are some guidelines for doing sake right:
Portion Your Pour. Although alcohol may benefit your health, stick to the right amount and be sure to drink in moderation. I see many of my patients abstain from drinking Monday through Friday only to run wild on the weekend. The idea is that it is not only the amount you drink but also when you drink it. According to the research for women, it's one drink every other day, and for men, it's one to two drinks every other day. This produces an effect in the body called hormesis, which is something that harms you a little bit, like alcohol, but your body responds by becoming stronger. So, it is still unrealistic to binge on a whole bottle of whiskey and expect wellness.
Make It A Social Activity. The aspect of drinking I feel is quite important but so often overlooked is the comfort of sharing a dining and drinking experience with others. Eating and drinking alone is strongly associated with depression, which can cause a whole host of problems; sharing a meal and drink can make you and others feel better, which can decrease blood pressure and help you to relax.
Pair It With Asian-ish Menus. Creating your menus to be more pan-Asian allows you to include elements that are often left out of American menus. From seaweed to miso, adding one new ingredient, like sake, opens the doors to many others with healthful benefits. As Americans, we are always mixing and playing with food cultures anyways, why not be open to the idea of including sake in your beer, wine, and whiskey repertoire. I mean, we came up with the sushi burrito didn't we? Who knows what we will eat next.
Finding the balance in drinking for pleasure and health may seem like a new concept. But I assure you that if you merge the two ideas, it will allow you to maintain a wholesome life because being healthy isn't all about your body but also your soul.
Be Fearless, Be Full.

No matter how cold it gets outside, Major Lazer, with their reggae-infused remixes, always manage to transport us back to the warmth of summer. On their latest remix, doo-wop crooner, Bruno Mars receives the Major Lazer treatment on his radio-friendly hit “Locked Out of Heaven.” Bruno’s silky smooth vocals are complimented by Major Lazer‘s trademark Caribbean vibe, framed by steel drums, horn sections, and a feel good, carefree aesthetic. The simple synthwork and a delicate stutter transform the original into a charming summer jam without too drastically transforming Bruno’s modern-day classic.

European energy prices have shot up on a combination of bitterly cold weather across the region and Iran’s talk of banning oil exports to some European states.
Brent crude oil — the benchmark for the region — rose to a six month high above $116 a barrel on fears that supplies could be cut off if Tehran follows through on its threats.
Iran’s parliament said on Tuesday it was ready to impose a ban on oil exports to some European states, the country’s English-language Press TV reported, pre-empting a ban announced by the European Union set to begin from July 1.
President Barack Obama tightened sanctions on Iran another notch, the White House said on Monday, targeting its central bank and giving US banks new powers to freeze assets linked to the government.
The severe wintry weather throughout Europe has seen gas demand rise to record levels.
In Britain wholesale gas prices hit their highest in six years.
In France they are even higher and Italy this week took emergency measures to deal with what it called critical shortages of gas coming from Russia shutting off supplies to some industrial clients.
The Italian Industry Ministry said it had decided to enforce so-called “interruptible” gas contracts with industrial clients and to switch on oil-fired power stations to partly replace gas-fired plants.
Gas supplies to the European Union from Russia improved over the weekend but have not fully recovered.

Customer Turns Investor: Leading Investment Firm Inspired to Lead Funding after Transforming IT Operations with SimpliVity’s Hyperconverged Infrastructure
WESTBOROUGH, MA – March 10, 2015 — /BackupReview.info/ — SimpliVity, the leader in hyperconverged infrastructure for IT, today announced it has raised $175 million in series D funding at a valuation of more than $1 billion – a record achievement just 23 months after general availability of OmniCube, its flagship product. Waypoint Capital, the business enterprise for the Bertarelli family’s investments and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, led the round. Prior investors Accel Partners, Charles River Ventures, DFJ Growth, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) and Meritech Capital Partners also contributed to the round. SimpliVity’s total venture funding is now $276 million.
Waypoint was inspired to make the investment after transforming its own IT environments across five global sites with SimpliVity’s hyperconverged infrastructure solution.
“As a customer, we experienced first-hand the transformational impact of SimpliVity’s hyperconverged infrastructure. After a thorough analysis of alternatives, we were convinced SimpliVity is technologically superior, and that its unique data architecture is years ahead of the market,” said Frederic Wohlwend, Chief Information and Technology Officer at Waypoint Capital. “When we learned SimpliVity was raising capital, we insisted on taking the lead. We see enormous potential in a company revolutionizing IT, and growing faster than any infrastructure company in recent history.”
“We are honored to have Waypoint join our extremely supportive group of investors. It is a unique and valuable opportunity to have an investor who is truly a customer first – with hands-on SimpliVity product experience,” said Doron Kempel, SimpliVity CEO. “The continued support from our existing investors is incredibly appreciated. Together, these investors give us the greatest strategic latitude for the business as we continue to optimize during this time of hyper growth.”
The financing will be used to fund the rapid expansion of the company and address the explosive market opportunity. Gartner predicts total integrated system spending will grow by a 24 percent CAGR from 2013 through 2018, reaching a total of $19 billion.
SimpliVity launched its hyperconverged infrastructure platform in April 2013 and delivered record growth in 2014. In 2014, SimpliVity grew revenues by more than 500 percent year over year; expanded with resellers into 50 countries and employees in 18; and grew its employee base to more than 400 worldwide. SimpliVity also partnered with Cisco in August 2014 in order to expand its global reach.
Morgan Stanley served as the sole placement agent for SimpliVity.
“Accel Partners has not only invested in a company with a superior technology and enormous market opportunity, but in a leadership team that’s tuned to deliver,” said early investor and board member Kevin Comolli of Accel Partners. “This team has tremendous vision and one of the best abilities to execute that I’ve seen. SimpliVity has pioneered the hyperconverged infrastructure market and will emerge as a category leader. After just 23 months shipping product, the company has achieved an unprecedented sales trajectory.”
“When we first invested in SimpliVity, we saw a company that had the potential to transform how data is stored, managed and protected in the enterprise, which would truly impact one of the largest markets in technology,” said Bruce Sachs, General Partner, Charles River Ventures. “The growth of the customer base, product and management team has been very impressive and exceeded our expectations. SimpliVity has all of the right ingredients to lead in this market, and we are thrilled to be their business partners during this exciting time.”
“A $1+ billion valuation, and one of the largest rounds of venture capital ever for an enterprise company, are strong testaments to SimpliVity’s tremendous technology and massive addressable market,” said KPCB General Partner, Matt Murphy. “The product uptake and depth of penetration has been breathtaking: fully sixty-five percent of SimpliVity customers standardize all of their virtualized applications on SimpliVity’s platform.”

Good Morning! hope you are enjoying the start to the holiday weekend.
Today is also the start of a new mood board challenge over at SumMore Fun and the theme continues to be spring like. you can find more details at the end of my post!
My design is using the Oops A Daisy stamp set :
I stamped the large flower with embossing ink and used clear embossing powder. I then masked this off and stamped the 2 stemmed flowers over the large daisy and one overlapping the top corner. Again I embossed them with clear powder. I colored them using brush markers using the colors from the mood board.
Once I'd removed the ink from the embossed lines I used the Oops a daisy text stamp from the same set and stamped this multiple times in the spaces between the flowers. I then used a pale blue embossing powder on these.
My card base was matted with coordinating blue card before I adhered my image topper to it.
I then added pink enamel dots randomly around the design to complete it.

-Says he was shot on first discharge
Colin Cumberbatch, a 28 year old conductor on Sunday got into an exchange of words with Sherwin Ariwa, a vendor over the changing of money.
Police Headquarters in a report said that Ariwa went to the 42 bus park and inquired about changing a $5000 when Cumberbatch told him to move from near his bus. An argument began which quickly escalated into a scuffle, during which the vendor armed himself with a beer bottle and hit Cumberbatch to his forehead.
It was then that Cumberbatch stabbed Ariwa to his left side with a pair of scissors.
A police rank who intervened, saw both parties armed with a scissor and beer bottle respectively and warned them to not fight. It is then reported that Cumberbatch did not heed the policeman's order and continued arguing and went to a nearby shop and armed himself with a cutlass and ran towards Ariwa saying that he “is going to kill him.”
As a result of this, the rank discharged a round in the air, but still Cumberbatch did not stop. It was then he shot the conductor in his left foot.
But Cumberbatch in an interview with a social media news agency said he remembers the series of events differently than they are being reported by the Police Force.
Instead, Cumberbatch said he was making loud noises with his bike when Ariwa walked up to him and punched him in his face saying that he was disrespectful considering he was on the phone with his wife in the said area the man was making noise. It was then that things escalated.
“He get out of control, I get out of control he end up draw a jooker I end up getting a blade we end up meet on the pave. When we meet on the pave he saying that I go kill you. I say is best we kill one another because me ain’t giving away me life..”
He continued “in the heights of that I hear a shot and when I hear the first gunshot I fall to the ground, second gun shot I hear in the air I end up and they carry me and I had to do surgery to the foot.”
The man said he has since given his statement to the police regarding the scuffle but all they said was that “they go call me.”
But the question remains in the man’s mind “I still want know why Smith shoot me in my foot.”
To this end, the man said he is not satisfied with how the police are treating the matter and maintains that he is not a bully.

Master data is the foundation for relating business transactions with business entities such as customers, products, locations etc. These entities are also referred to as domains in master data literature. The integrity, availability and timeliness of master data in single-, and growingly in multi-domain combinations is crucial in eBusiness transactions over the Internet, or in the cloud for multiple stakeholders. Distributed environments set additional challenges for the management of master data. In this idea paper, we first describe master data, management processes, responsibilities and other contemporary master data management practices aiming to ensure master data quality in different domains. Even though these practical means are of help in improving master data quality and managing master data, they are insufficient to capture the underlying root cause of master data problems. We then look into master data management from the IS theoretical viewpoint and finally propose a research agenda for most critical issues in master data management. We suggest that holistic approaches such as enterprise architecting, stakeholder analysis, or business modeling could serve as coherent frameworks in identifying common and specific master data management research themes for global businesses with networked IT environments. ...

The Pied Piper of Hamelin is an American ninety-minute musical film in color, originally made as a television special and first shown by NBC on Tuesday, November 26, 1957, as one of their Thanksgiving Week offerings for that year. It preempted that evening's telecasts of The Nat King Cole Show and The Eddie Fisher Show.
A long time ago, the town of Hamelin in Germany was faced with a great problem. It became full of rats. The rats were so big and fierce that they fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles. They ate up different types of foods and cut the papers and valuable documents into pieces. People had to face a big crisis. One day the city mayor and the administrative officers called a meeting to solve the problem. They offered a prize for the person who would save them from the disturbing rates. At that time, a pied piper agreed to take the proposal. At last, the piper reached a hill near a sea and the rats one after another jumped into the sea. Thus, the city was saved from the rats. Then the piper demanded his prize but the mayor did not want to pay him fully. Saying nothing the piper went away. Now he played another tune on his pipe.

Advent, Incarnation and Emotion
How do you feel about God today?
That’s an awkward question for me to write. Aren’t we supposed to know about God, not feel about him? Doesn’t Jeremiah tell us that the heart is deceitful above all things?
But living in a body means having emotions. Even if we try to deny, suppress or muscle through those emotions, they still exist, often manifesting in physical ways: hunched shoulders, clenched fists, butterflies, tears, laughter, relaxation. If we elevate mind over body, we also elevate mind over emotions — an elevation further exacerbated by the association of emotions with femininity and weakness.
But once again, the Incarnation forces us to think about the whole experience of having bodies: experience which includes emotions. The body incorporates both mind and emotion, and attempts to deny or diminish this ignore the created reality of our physical existence and experience.
Every person, of course, experiences emotions differently (and different cultures understand emotions in different ways). But emotions are a sign of being human, of having the capacity to respond to our world with more than just logic; emotions are a part of the divine image within humanity. Additionally, emotions are not somehow feminine; despite the way modern American culture suppresses men’s emotions, men are not less emotional beings that women (and emotion is not feminine weakness).
We see Jesus experience and express emotions during his time on earth: his grief over the death of Lazarus, his weary need to withdraw from the crowds, his anger at the merchants and money-changers in the temple, his gentle exasperation with his disciples for misunderstanding his teachings. And more, we see Jesus experience and address his emotions. He weeps when he grieves and he goes to pray alone when he needs to rest from the demands of the crowd, rather than ignore or suppress his feelings.
I confess that emotions can be difficult for me. I tend to be controlled and reserved; I don’t like feeling out of control emotionally, and it often seems safer to tuck emotions away rather than actually acknowledge and deal with them. And more, emotions aren’t always a suitable guide for our actions or even a proportionate response to whatever evoked them. In short, emotions are messy, unpredictable, and often illogical.
But emotions can be good, as well. The joy of a child watching the first snow of winter. The upwelling of gratitude for the kindness of a friend. The flutters of love for a significant other. The peace of an ocean sunrise. Even our anger and grief can connect us to others and spur us to action.
The heart may be deceitful; we’ve all experienced misleading emotional reactions. But we shouldn’t pretend that the heart is somehow more deceitful than the mind. Paul reminds us that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of the world; human reason alone cannot get us all the way to God any more than human emotion can.
God gives us both reason and emotion, and both have their place. In fallen, sinful human bodies, neither can be wholly trusted — but neither can be wholly dismissed. Emotion can temper our reason, reminding us that real people are affected by the rational arguments that we make on any number of topics. And reason can temper emotion, helping to move us beyond our initial reactions.
When we insist on logic and dismiss emotions as deceptive, we buy into a valuation of body and emotion rooted in Greek philosophy, not God’s created reality. This denigration of our emotional selves emerges especially from strains of theology that emphasize orthodoxy (that right mental furniture) over orthopraxy, and from theologies that prize authority over experience. Both tell us to suppress emotions in favor of reason, whether our own or that of an authority figure (or a combination of both). I should note that this is my own tradition; the holiness tradition often goes in the opposite direction, valuing emotion above reason, and both imbalances can be dangerous.
You may also notice, reading this post, that I’m trying to use rational argument to show that we should value emotion. Most people, it seems, gravitate to one over the other; I gravitate towards reason (as I’m sure you’re shocked to learn). But despite our own tendencies, we shouldn’t dismiss our emotional selves.
To do so denies our created reality and thus denies the reality of the Incarnation, which placed immeasurable value on our created bodies.

The ride from Kohima to Botsa, and further up the hill to Tuophema, is only
The ride from Kohima to Botsa, and further up the hill to Tuophema, is onlyone and a half hours long, but it feels like a world apart from the uphill ascent from Dimapur to Kohima.
Gone are the hired and shared taxis, the big tour buses, and the occ-asional luxury car. Gone also are the paved roads, proper signage, and any signs of tourism. As you head deep into northern Angami territory, the lives of the Nagas unfold. In fact, for those looking to head to Tuophema not just to get away from the crowds but to discover real Naga life, we would recommend taking the Tuophema community bus that leaves almost every day around 1.00pm from High School Junction.
Timings and frequency may vary, so call the tourist village a couple of days ahead and plan. Additionally, you will have to get there early to secure a seat, and be prepared to ride alongside pets and chickens. But the trip will be worth it.
It is one thing to see the many Naga tribes put their best foot forward at the Hornbill Festival but another thing entirely to head into the state and get a chance to see different lives, livelihoods and lifestyles up close. Tuophema Tourist Village, set up in 2001 as a community effort by the people of Tuophema, does just that. Self-funded, organised and designed, the tourist village was the result of the joint efforts of the different khels or clans from within the village. Now hailed as a model of rural homestays for other tribes within Nagaland and beyond the state, the Tourist Village offers a unique glimpse into rural life of a different kind than most Indians would be familiar with.
A traditional welcome gate leads to the village, dominated by a large tree called the War Head Tree, where enemy heads were once hung as war trophies. The tourist village is run and maintained by a team of young locals and overseen by the elected village council.
Along with the rare experience of staying in a traditional Angami house, the tranquil tourist village offers a peaceful retreat, cultural and educational programmes, a local museum, as well as guided walks through the village.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
With just over 500 families, this is a tightly-knit village that has offered tourists from near and far a rare chance to experience Angami hospitality. The history of the village is said to go back to 1461 CE, and the old northern gate is one the village’s few historical remains. A guided walk around the village, arranged by the helpful staff at the tourist village, will take you past the old and new sections of the village, which include Baptist churches, an amphitheatre, and a charming, although unoccupied house built in the memory of the village founder. Close to the huts is a small museum that was set up in 2006. This well-lit room displays Angami dresses, headdresses, weapons and jewellery, along with household and ritual items relevant to this area.
The gazebo near the dining room has lovely wooden seats from where visitors can enjoy the crisp mountain air, stunning views of the valleys and mountains for miles and miles, and some of the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises you are likely to ever see. For the city born and bred, it is recommended to head out of the hut in the middle of the night for a few minutes and stare slack-jawed at the stunning starry sky above. Thousands of stars light up the night sky in Tuophema, making for an unforgettable experience – and certainly a sight you’ll never see in the smog-filled city skies.
Time your trip with the annual Angami festival of purification, known as Sekrenyi, held between 25 and 27 February every year. This is a wonderful display of rituals and ceremonies for those who have tired of the Hornbill festival. Water holds much significance for the Angamis, as is evident from the rituals of the first day of the festival: a few drops of water are taken from a jug and poured into banana leaves, which are then placed at the three main posts of the house. The village well is cleaned the night before the festival and the youth are made to guard the well, as it is said that no one is allowed to collect water from the well after it has been cleaned. On the second day, the young men rise early and proceed to the well to wash.
Another interesting ritual during the festival is called dzuseva or “touching the sleeping water”, in which men don two new shawls (the black mhoushu and the white lohe) and sprinkle water on themselves; this is said to wash away their misfortunes. There are other rituals involving rice beer, which is also part of the feasting drink with the locals as part of the feast.
WHERE TO STAY AND EAT
The Tourist Village (Cell: 09436832075, 08014926733; Tariff: ₹1,800 for single and ₹2,300 for a double occupancy hut) comprises 12 huts, all built by different clans in the villages. The spacious huts come with attached bathrooms. Simplicity and comfort are the key elements here.
The young locals who maintain the tourist village also serve up some delicious Naga grub for their guests (approximately ₹250–350 per person per meal). Expect delicious home-made dal, pork, chicken and vegetable dishes at the buffet.
Located in the district of Kohima, the Angami Nagas are hill people whose main forms of subsistence are cultivation and livestock-rearing. Of the 17 Naga tribes, Angamis are one of only two who practice growing of wet rice on terraces carved out of hill slopes, which allows for cultivation on the same plot every year. Tradition-ally, Angamis were warriors, and the Angami men famously spent a majority of their life in warfare with hostile villages, (in)famously represented by the practice of taking heads. The inter-village feuds and headhunting practices largely came to an end around 1879, when the British annexed this territory.
Today, although more than 98 per cent of Angamis are Christians, with 80 per cent or more of them Baptist, they are in fact one of the last tribes in Nagaland to still have animists within the community.

The Northeast Guide


The Oasis OH3P Plus Guitar Humidifier and Hygrometer Combo Pack combines the OH1 humidifier along with the OH2 digital hydrometer to keep tabs on your favorite instrument when storing. The Oasis OH3P Combo Pack offers complete confidence that your guitar is getting the humidification it needs in dry winter weather without worrying about whether your humidifier is leaking or hurting your instrument. Effective and reliable, it does what others can’t. Oasis OH3P Combo Pack offers the best guitar humidifier on the market.
Oasis OH1 Acoustic Guitar Humidifier Features
- Makes it easy to see when it’s time to refill
- Provides long-lasting humidification
- Ensures no leakage due to overfilling
- Promises two levels of leak protection
- Is stabilized to never touch the body of your instrument
Repairing a cracked top of a fine guitar is expensive, and it can alter its sound. Although ‘sound hole’ humidifiers have been around for a long time, Oasis humidifiers provide a better answer to humidification. The body of the Oasis Guitar Humidifier is made from a specially designed fabric that allows water vapor, but not water, to pass through it.
As the vapor transmission takes place, a vacuum is created and Oasis shrinks to compensate for the loss of water. Because you can see the Oasis shrink, it’s easy to determine when it is ready for refill. Also, you don't have to guess when it is full. Simply unscrew the black cap, fill with water to the top of the container, and replace the cap. Once sealed, the water-tight container is your first line of defense against leaks. The super absorbent polymer crystals inside Oasis, Humigel, is your second line of defense. It captures up to 500 times its weight in water in an absorbent gel matrix.
Like other sound hole humidifiers, Oasis fits between the strings of your guitar. The materials that touch your strings are relatively soft and won’t scratch. A blue polyurethane stabilizing bar fits over the neck of the humidifier. Once positioned in the sound hole, the stabilizing bar lies across the guitar strings to ensure even weight distribution. The Oasis® Guitar Humidifier never touches the body of your instrument.
Because tap and bottled water contain dissolved minerals that can clog the liner, distilled water is recommended to extend the useful life of your humidifier.
Oasis OH2 Digital Hygrometer
When the relative humidity drops below 40%, a guitar, or any stringed musical instrument made of wood, is at risk of cracking or warping. The Oasis® Digital Hygrometer accurately measures relative humidity, helping you decide when to protect your instrument with the Oasis Guitar Humidifier. Because relative humidity varies so much, even inside your home, we recommend that you keep your hygrometer close to your instrument.
Oasis OH2 Digital Hygrometer/Thermometer Features
- Guaranteed for five full years
- Super-slim profile design with secure Velcro mount fits anywhere
- Advanced humidity sensor maintains exceptional accuracy for years
- Records high/low temperatures
- Measures temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit
- On/off switch
- 3.0 v 2032 battery included - annual replacement needed
How does it work? To get an accurate humidity reading for the guitar body, we recommend that you first lay the guitar case with the back to the floor and open the cover. Take a small piece of cloth, and place it under the hygrometer to avoid scratching the top of your guitar. Put the hygrometer on the guitar top with the sensor at the edge of the sound hole. Close the case, and allow 4-6 hours for the humidity to stabilize. Open the case and look at the reading within a few seconds, and you get the humidity reading that existed just before you opened the case.
Because the Oasis humidifier will somewhat distort the humidity reading, take readings with the Oasis humidifier in place and take readings without the Oasis humidifier. A well-humidified guitar in its case will have relatively stable humidity readings, so you don’t have to measure the humidity all the time.
Since the hygrometer is not secured, take special care NOT to move the case while the hygrometer is in this position.

Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). Previous reports showed age (>50 years), nonwhite race, and renal dysfunction at the time renal biopsy are life-threating factors 1,2). However, there are few studies focused on Asian patients with LN.
Objectives We performed a retrospective analysis to investigate mortality and its risk factors in LN patients at our institution.
Methods One hundred fifty-eight patients (21 male and 137 female; 154 Japanese, 2 Chinese, 1 Pilipino and 1 Thai) who received renal biopsy and diagnosed with LN at our institution from 1975 to 2012 were examined.
Results The mean observation period after renal biopsy was 9.8±7.6 years. The mean patient age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary protein at the time of renal biopsy were 36.2±13.4 years, 79.2±33.1 ml/min/1.73m2 and 3.97±4.08 g/gCr, respectively. Renal histology by ISN/RPS 2003 classification was as follows; II 12.7%, III 14.6%, IV 41.8%, V 14.5%, III/IV+V 14.5%. Steroids were used in all patients and immunosuppressants were added to 122 patients (77.2%). During the observation period, progression of renal dysfunction defined by doubling serum creatinin or end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) were observed in 14 patients (8.9%) and in 9 patients (5.7%), respectively. Eighteen patients were died; infection (n=4), cardiovascular diseases (n=4), malignancy (n=3), intestinal perforation (n=2), CNS lupus (n=1), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (n=1), pulmonary hemorrhage (n=1), traffic accident (n=1) and suicide (n=1). The average period between renal biopsy and death was 11.9±8.6 years. Early death within 1 year was observed only in 2 patients. Five, 10 and 20-year survival rates were 95.5, 93.1 and 76.1%. Statistical significant risk factors for increased mortality by univariate analysis were as following; age (>50 years), positive for anti-SSB antibody, complication of CNS lupus, overlap with other autoimmune diseases, complication with diabetes mellitus and progression of kidney dysfunction. Neither eGFR at the time of renal biopsy nor ISN/RPS class was associated with mortality. A multivariate stepwise Cox hazard model revealed the following 3 parameters as the independent risk factors for death; age (>50 years) [Hazard Ratio (HR) 9.0, 95%CI 2.6 to 31.5, p=0.001], complication with CNS lupus [HR 20.1, 95%CI 4.0 to 99.7, p<0.001] and progression of renal dysfunction [HR 5.2, 95%CI 1.6-17.0 p=0.007].
Conclusions From data of our single-center cohort of LN patients in Japan, age (>50 years) at the time of renal biopsy, complication with CNS lupus and progression of kidney dysfunction were found as independent risk factors for increased mortality. Although early death was rare, infection, cardiovascular diseases and malignancies were major causes of death during long-term follow-up of LN.
