Guidelines for Use in OpenStack

The OpenStack I18N team has a limited capacity to translate messages, so we want to make their work as effective as possible by identifying the most useful text for them to translate. All text messages the user sees via exceptions or API calls should be marked for translation. However, some exceptions are used internally to signal error conditions between modules and are not intended to be presented to the user. Those do not need to be translated. Neither do log messages, as explained below.

Gettext Contextual Form and Plural Form

Sometimes under different contexts, the same word should be translated into different phrases using TranslatorFactory.contextual_form.

And recommend the following code to use contextual form:

# The contextual translation function using the name "_C"
_C = _translators.contextual_form

msg = _C('context', 'string')

In some languages, sometimes the translated strings are different with different item counts using TranslatorFactory.plural_form

And recommend the following code to use plural form:

# The plural translation function using the name "_P"
_P = _translators.plural_form

msg = _P('single', 'plural', count)

The contextual form and plural form are used only when needed. By default, the translation should use the _().

These two functions were only available in oslo.i18n >= 2.1.0.

Log Translation

Starting with the Pike series, OpenStack no longer supports log translation. It is not necessary to add translation instructions to new code, and the instructions can be removed from old code. The following documentation is retained to help developers understand existing usage and how to remove it.

Support was dropped primarily based on feedback from operators that they were not only not needed but also undesirable, because they fragmented the set of web pages providing helpful information about any particular log message, thereby reducing the chances of finding those web pages by doing a web search for the message. Refer to the email thread understanding log domain change on the openstack-dev mailing list for more details.

OpenStack previously supported translating some log levels using separate message catalogs, and so has separate marker functions. These well-known names were used by the build system jobs that extracted the messages from the source code and passed them to the translation tool.

Debug level log messages were never translated.

Using a Marker Function

The marker functions are used to mark the translatable strings in the code. The strings are extracted into catalogs using a tool that performs source inspection to look for these specific markers, so the function argument must just be a string.

For example: do not do this:

msg = _(variable_containing_msg)

Instead, use this style:

msg = _('My message.')

Choosing a Marker Function

The purpose of the different marker functions is to separate the translatable messages into different catalogs, which the translation teams can prioritize translating. It is important to choose the right marker function, to ensure that strings the user sees will be translated and to help the translation team manage their work load.

Everything marked with _() will be translated. Prioritizing the catalogs created from strings marked with the log marker functions is up to the individual translation teams and their users, but it is expected that they will work on critical and error messages before warning or info.

_() is preferred for any user facing message, even if it is also going to a log file. This ensures that the translated version of the message will be available to the user.

The log marker functions (_LI(), _LW(), _LE(), and _LC()) should no longer be used, and existing usages should be removed. Anytime that the message is passed outside of the current context (for example as part of an exception) the _() marker function must be used instead.

A common pattern used to be to define a single message object and use it more than once, for the log call and the exception. In that case, _() had to be used because the message was going to appear in an exception that may be presented to the user.

However, now that log messages are no longer translated, it is unfortunately necessary to use two separate strings: a plain one for the log message, and a translatable one for the exception.

For example, do not do this:

msg = _('There was an error.')
raise LocalExceptionClass(msg)

or this:

msg = _LE('There was an error.')
raise LocalExceptionClass(msg)

Instead, use this style:

LOG.error('There was an error.')
raise LocalExceptionClass(_('An error occurred.'))

Adding Variables to Translated Messages

Translated messages should not be combined with other literal strings to create partially translated messages. For example, do not do this:

raise ValueError(_('some message') + ': variable=%s' % variable)

Instead, use this style:

raise ValueError(_('some message: variable=%s') % variable)

Including the variable reference inside the translated message allows the translator to take into account grammar rules, differences in left-right vs. right-left rendering, and other factors to make the translated message more useful to the end user.

Any message with more than one variable should use named interpolation instead of positional, to allow translators to move the variables around in the string to account for differences in grammar and writing direction.

For example, do not do this:

raise ValueError(_('some message: v1=%s v2=%s') % (v1, v2))

Instead, use this style:

raise ValueError(_('some message: v1=%(v1)s v2=%(v2)s') % {'v1': v1, 'v2': v2})

Rural England

Living in an “Area Of Outstanding National Beauty” is something that changes one’s inner and outer perspective. Gone are the temptations of a city life. Everything is reduced and eventually enhanced to a new relationship between the human being and nature. Experiencing this completely different way of living initially was a shock to my body and mind – above all in a foreign country with a different language. So this series is an ongoing attempt to get to know the rural countryside that surrounds me and to witness the change in my own perception with time. The degree of belonging, if you will. There are layers and layers of watching, layers of understanding and recognizing, that countryside at the same time is the way people live and talk and think. An experience of a stranger on her way to become an insider.

Stef’s 2015 Year in Review

It is said that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but I happen to believe it’s right after Christmas when year-in-review and best-of lists swarm all forms of media. I guess I’m a sucker for nostalgia. This year, I’m making a short year-in-review for what has proved to be my most monumental year in writing (to-date, of course. I’m hoping it doesn’t go down in history that way).

I often get asked where I’m at with all of my writing projects. This should help sum it up, along with providing some tidbits I’ve learned about my writing, the publishing industry and myself.

2015 started off with a resolution or some may just say a goal (perhaps a recycled goal) of getting an agent.

I received suggested edits from an agent during a Twitter contest the previous year and was invited to revise and resubmit. I worked from September until January to polish up my manuscript and get it out. I waited for a response from the original agent, and after waiting six weeks, decided to put it forth into the world. I sent my manuscript to agents who also represent picture books as that is another interest of mine and to my pleasant surprise – ended up in talks with five different agents, three different offers and one agent signed and sealed by the end of the process! Amazing! Living on top the world! Right? Well sort of…

As with all writing roller coasters, it’s back to the computer for more edits. I was so excited for the direction THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIRDS took after my edits, I couldn’t help but excited about the whole process.

In the meantime, my first creative non-fiction children’s book PLUTO SINGS THE BLUES and my second entitled DO IT MYSELFIE were polished up and officially sent on submission. Which is where those stand now and right before the end the year, THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIRDS released itself into the publishing wild. So I am currently being reviewed by a variety of amazing editors. I pray that, just like the Bachelor (see Bachelor Agent Post), I will find my match made in heaven and you will someday in the not too distant future be able to check out my work.

Until then, I’m working on a yet to be titled contemporary YA work and praying hard every night that my writing finds its match with the right pair of eyes!

2016…Let’s do this.

Things are getting better for Lib Dems in the Eastleigh by-election

John O'FarrellAfter the Conservative candidate for the Eastleigh by-election was caught copying and pasting from Wikipedia to illustrate her knowledge of the local area, it looks as though the Labour party have handed the Lib Dems another election gift.

With much fanfare the Labour party have announced John O’Farrell to be their candidate in for the Eastleigh by-election.

Within hours a quote from John’s own book, ‘Things Can Only Get Better’, has emerged where he tells his brother “to go for it” when asked if he should vote Lib Dem tactically to defeat the Tories.

It looks as though things are getting better for the Lib Dems in Eastleigh.

Hat tip to Mark Pack  for the quote.

Price of Gold Fundamental Daily Forecast – Early Strength Suggests Bets are on Biden

Price of Gold Fundamental Daily Forecast – Early Strength Suggests Bets are on Biden

Gold futures are trading higher on Monday as investors react to a weaker U.S. Dollar and a rise in demand for higher risk assets. We’re not going to try to read into the move, but we suspect it’s tied to position-squaring ahead of Tuesday U.S. presidential elections since there were no major events over the weekend.

At 12:30 GMT, December Comex gold is trading $1892.10, up $12.20 or +0.65%. Downturn in US Dollar Driving Price Action

Earlier in the session, dollar-denominated gold was pressured by firmer demand for the safe-haven U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen as tensions grew before Tuesday’s presidential election.

The reversal in the price action came as no surprise as expected swings in the major currencies climbed to their highest since April as investors waited for the outcome of an election that will have serious implications for the dollar’s outlook over the coming months.“Volatility is rising because liquidity […]

Melanderh_DSC02253By Hailey Melander

When asked how he became interested in swing dancing, University of Wisconsin–Stout student Ian Offerdhal grinned, his expression growing mischievous.

“My freshman year, I was in a scuba class,” begins Offerdhal, “I thought, ‘Hey, that girl’s cute,’ and I asked her what she was doing that night. She said she was going to Swing Club. I said, ‘What a coincidence! That’s exactly where I’m going.’ Of course, those supposed plans were created on the fly.”

But now, several years later, Offerdhal is vice president of the club. He often attends the meetings clad in a neat suit and clearly happy like the other members for a fun Wednesday night spent with friends.

It’s true that swing club meetings typically boast an impressive crowd of students who are always smiling and ready to laugh, but people who attend the meetings with romantic ambitions, like Offerdhal, usually find that they stay on as members, captured by the infectious, jiving spirit of swing dancing.

“It’s definitely different than ballroom dancing,” said Bria Mertz, president of Swing Club. “You’re not as close as you are in ballroom, which can intimidate people, and swing dancing is really easy to learn.”

Mertz emphasized that for swing dancing, unlike ballroom, a partner is not required  and neither is experience. Each swing club meeting contains a lesson, sometimes with guest instructors, and the basic “rock step” is always taught. The four-count step takes only minutes to learn and is the foundation for the entire dance—this is why an absolute beginner can feel comfortable dancing with an expert, as long as they both know the rock step.

“The most significant challenge for both men and women,” Mertz said, “is learning their respective roles as leads and follows.”

Mertz explained that the club makes a strong effort to host guest instructors, because once people become comfortable with the rock step, they can experiment with aerials, including lifts and tosses, or they can delve into Lindy Hop, the proud poppa of swing dancing that features an eight-count rotational rock step as its foundation. Lindy Hop was popular in the 1920s and ‘30s, which evolved into swing during WWII.

“It was an emotional release at the time,” said Jake Hipke, Swing Club event coordinator. “It took people’s minds off war.”

Even now, he thinks that the same reason applies for its popularity among college students.

“It’s a stress reliever,” Hipke said.

Swing dancing is the ultimate casual dance, but it takes concentration. It’s easy to see stress melting away as students focus on working through new moves together.

“Everyone’s friendly,” said Meghan Olson, a club member in training to be president, and it’s common lore among swing dancers that they’re a generous group. Participating students are always willing to help, on and off the dance floor, and they don’t care who you are so long as you’re a good sport.

Swing dancers don’t just do swing, however. The UW–Stout Swing Club explores everything from Latin dance to traditional ballroom. Once you have some experience in swing, even ballroom won’t seem so scary.

There is even a thriving swing dance culture in the Twin Cities that students can explore. One of the more renowned venues is TC Swing in Minneapolis, run by Terry and Cindy Gardner, who occasionally come and give lessons at the UW–Stout Swing Club.

“One of the best parts of teaching is working with all the different college swing clubs,” said Terry Gardner. “I love seeing their confidence levels get stronger in the dance and knowing that will cross over into all aspects of their life.”

TC Swing offers a Late Night Swing on Thursday nights from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. that is perfect for both beginning and experienced swing dancers. Terry Gardner began dancing in 1997, and he urges young people to give swing dancing an early chance in life.

“College students should try swing dancing because it offers exercise, fellowship, a social outlet and is fun. All of these are positive reasons, and it is within a safe and accepting environment.”

Stout Swing Club is always free, and is a great place to experience such positive benefits. There are only a few stipulations, Offerdhal explained.

“We only have three rules at swing club,” he said. “Rule one: don’t smell. Rule two: don’t smell. Rule three: don’t drop the ‘follow.’”

Easy enough. Only one more piece of advice, from the immortal big band musician Duke Ellington: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” It’s a mindset as much as a dance.

The Stout Swing Club meets every Wednesday night from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Ballrooms in the Memorial Student Center. The meetings are free to attend and neither a dance partner nor previous dance experience are required.

The experience of Lleyton Hewitt and youthful exuberance of Nick Kyrgios will spearhead Australia’s bid to remain in the world group of the Davis Cup against Uzbekistan in Perth this week.

With Bernard Tomic and Marinko Matosevic both unavailable for selection, team captain Pat Rafter will be relying on Australia’s two highest ranked men’s players – aged 14 years apart – in the singles.

The pair were obvious selections alongside Sam Groth, who looks set to make his Davis Cup debut, and doubles partner Chris Guccione, who have claimed six titles this season.

Having been comprehensively beaten by France earlier in the year, Australia will need to beat Uzbekistan for the second straight year in order to retain their status in the world’s top tier.

Rafter says the Aussies will go into the tie, that will take place on grass at a newly renovated Cottesloe Tennis Club, full of confidence given their recent individual form.

“It’s been a big couple of months for the boys and we’ve seen some good results, both on grass during and after Wimbledon, and at the US Open last week,“ Rafter said.

“Lleyton won the title in Newport, Nick had a fantastic run at Wimbledon, beating Rafa (Rafael Nadal) to make the quarters and he continued his momentum at the US Open.

“‘Gooch’ and Sam have won six doubles titles together alone this year and I’m pleased to bring Sam into the team for his Davis Cup debut.

“Uzbekistan have a strong and competitive team likely to be spearheaded by Denis Istomin. We’re very determined to win and we’ll have to be on top of our game to beat them.”

Australia have been crowned Davis Cup champions on 28 occasions, the last time coming in 2003. Play gets under way this Thursday and you can catch all the action live from Perth in the clubhouse at SSC.

Kehinde Wiley Reimagines MTV Moonperson With Flowers And Vines

Kehinde Wiley Reimagines MTV Moonperson With Flowers And Vines

Before MTV developed the novel reality show formats that have come to dominate television, even before it became the first network to play music videos around the clock, it first broadcast footage and photographs cut from NASAâ€™s Apollo 11 expedition, the spaceflight that landed humans on the moon in 1969. The flag the astronauts placed into the craterous surface appeared without its stars and stripes, instead taking on the brandâ€™s neon logo, as a voiceover echoed a new mission. â€œLadies and gentleman, rock and roll.â€

That was August 1, 1981, and as MTV became ingrained within pop culture in the decades that followed, so did the Moonperson. An iconic symbol of the brandâ€™s pioneering spirit, it has appeared on every VMA trophy since the launch of the award ceremony in 1984, and will again at this yearâ€™s ceremony in September. On Sunday, MTV celebrated that history, unveiling a Moonperson trophy reimagined by the artist Kehinde Wiley, along with a life-sized replica inspired by it at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The special edition Moonperson is a sculpture featuring an iridescent facade draped with luscious green vines and brilliant pink florals. In other words, it is quintessentially Wiley, who is known for his naturalistic portraiture that typically places Black subjects in contemporary attire against intricately patterned backdrops referencing art-historical settings. He became the first Black American to paint an official portrait of a United States president when he rendered Barack Obama. That work is in the collection of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

â€œKehinde Wileyâ€™s Moon Person sculpture represents inclusivity and diversity marked by the historical, environmental and nature relevance of the botanicals,â€ MTV said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

â€œThe design features botanical vines seamlessly flowing up and around the figureâ€™s legs, body, and arms as a commentary on the ethnic histories that surround America. Each intertwined vine or leaf has a different historical relevance, such as the seeds from African slaves, that are woven into the American tapestry. The sculpture complements Wileyâ€™s forthcoming series of portraits, in which he plans to create paintings featuring his subjects lying on their sides as vines encircle their bodies.â€

This isnâ€™t the first time MTV has tapped a visual artist to lend their singular vision to the symbol. In 2013, the Brooklyn-based multimedia artist KAWS created an imaginative version with a shimmering gun-metal finish and a comical skull for a face. At that year’s VMA ceremony, the stage featured a 60-foot-tall inflatable replica of the artist’s sculpture, which presided over the celebrity performances and award announcements. This was followed by another update by fashion designer Jeremy Scott in 2015.

The life-sized statue inspired by Kehinde Wiley’s Moonperson statue will be on view to the public at the Kennedy Space Centerâ€™s Visitor Complex.

Function notation is a mathematical concept that deals with displaying a system of symbols. Discover the definition and examples of function notation, as well as how to write it, how to evaluate functions, and how to combine two functions in function composition. Updated: 09/07/2021

What Is Notation?

Notation is a system of signs or symbols that represent words, numbers, phrases, etc. Notation is often designed for a specific purpose and is very helpful in communicating words, numbers, and other things in an efficient manner.

A good example of notation is musical notation. This type of notation system contains many symbols and various types of graphics, and it allows a composer to inform others how he wants his or her music to sound and be performed. Musical notation can be intimidating when one is first exposed to it; however, once learned, it allows a musician or aspiring musician to write music and to learn the music of others.

Function notation is a system of symbols used in mathematics, but it is arguably much easier to learn than musical notation. Function notation is an efficient and effective way to display functions of all types in mathematics. Let's start with a linear function. Many students are familiar with seeing linear functions written as y = 3x + 7.

This is a linear function in slope-intercept form. It is written with the standard y-variable in terms of the x-variable, which is the input variable, or independent variable. This is generally how students first learn how to write functions in mathematics. It is a good way of exposing students to functions; however, y = 3x + 7 is not written in function notation. Let's call this function f. We can then rewrite it with function notation: f(x) = 3x + 7.

All we did is replace y with f(x), so y = f(x). We can read this symbol as the value of f at x or as f of x. This way of writing a function gives us more flexibility and a better way of communicating how a function needs to be evaluated.

Let's evaluate this function when x = 5. With function notation, the instructions are very simple: find f(5). This tells us to evaluate function f when x = 5. In other words, replace x with 5 and solve: f(5) = 3(5) + 7 = 15 + 7 = 22.

Let's try another example. Find f(7) for f(x) = x^2 - 10x: f(7) = 7^2 - 10(7) = 49 - 70 = -21.

Writing With Function Notation

Even though it is common to use the letter f when writing function notation, any letter can be used in either upper or lower case. We can also change the letter for the input variable, but it tends to stay in lower case. This flexibility provides valuable maneuverability in writing functions.

Let's say we wanted to write a function for the area of a square. We could call the function A for area and use the letter s for side length of the square. This would give us the function notation of A(s) = s^2. This notation tells us that the area of a square with side length of s is s^2.

Using this definition of function A, let's evaluate the following: A(6). A(6) = 6^2 = 36 square units.

We can use function notation for functions that have multiple input variables. The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh. The volume of a rectangular prism is a function of the prism's length (l), width (w), and height (h).

We can write this formula using function notation: V(l, w, h) = lwh. Let's evaluate V(3, 7, 2). The function notation tells us that the rectangular prism has a length of 3 units, a width of 7 units, and a height of 2 units: V(3, 7, 2) = (3)(7)(2) = 42 cube units.

As long as you are told how a function and its input variables are defined, function notation allows efficient communication of a problem.

A Different Wang

Another streetwear brand banking on a family name. This is, however, not by that Wang

Team Wang Pop-Up store at The Shopping Gallery, Voco

It is probably the buzziest store opening since the start of the pandemic. Team Wang Design, a rising star in the firmament of “luxury street wear” opened yesterday evening to intensely enthusiastic response. If you are unfamiliar with the newish label, it is understandable that you’d think that Team Wang is linked to the designer Alexander Wang. But it is not. The label is, in fact, the brainchild of popstar Jackson Wang (王嘉尔). He has, as fans are well aware, added fashion designer to his resume. But if Team Wang sounds familiar, it is because Alexander Wang (王大仁) had used it too, and the phrase was employed for his collaboration with H&M in 2014. But Alexander Wang’s “team” of musicians, muses, and models who were associated with him were often referred to by the press as his “squad”. Team Wang is thus dissimilar as it is not about a clique (or, worse, hangers-on). Rather, it was initially set up to manage Mr Wang’s growing commitments in China and then to include a record label and now fashion design too. And Mr Wang seems to acknowledge that the brand’s creative output is a collective one.

And the clothes have found their way here through the auspices of Club 21 who has set up the eponymous pop-up—dubbed Mudance—not only on our shores, but in Chengdu and Bangkok, concurrently. As early or late (it really depends) as eleven yesterday morning, The Shopping Gallery at the former Hilton Hotel, now Voco Orchard, was busy, not with shoppers, but with construction crew setting up the opening of Team Wang Design (the shop was still merchandise-free) and, unsurprisingly, numerous female fans reserving a spot to catch their idol (this was an invitation-only event). Two hours before the party was due to start, there was a dispiriting crowd, restrained by mills barriers just to the left of the main door to the lobby of the hotel. The side entrance to The Shopping Gallery was shut too. The girls were visibly excited, presumably expecting the star they had been waiting for to arrive by car and alight at that very spot. This was happening as it rained. If the reception the fans gave Mr Wang at Changi airport yesterday was any indication, this really was not surprising.

Outside Voco Hotel, fervid fans waiting patiently despite the rain

But unexpected was the wait that invited guests had to endure. The invitation to the event stated 6.30pm—presumably the time it would the start. Jackson Wang had arrived some fifteen minutes earlier to a screaming welcome. He was escorted to a room in the hotel, where he went to “freshen up”, as the chatter at the lobby of the hotel went. Guests were held around the escalator to the second floor, where the proceedings would unfold. An hour had past, but most of the attendees were still waiting in the increasingly unbearable heat. Nathan Hartono in a salmon-coloured, sweat-soaked tee, would later share on Instagram a snap of him and Mr Wang, with the comment, “…I am clearly sTrUgGliN 🥵🥵🥵”. But still-waiting Fiona Xie, togged in Team Wang Design, appeared to be getting impatient. Jean Yip, the beauty mogul, and her family were seen heading for the exit, telling someone, “we’re leaving. Bye.” Those with more clout could make a phone call while aggressively pushing their way through the crowd and be ushered up the escalator, immediately. Word started to go around to explain the delay: Mr Wang had accepted a media interview. Ms Universe 2016 Cheryl Chou, chatting with someone, was cheerily indifferent to the crowd’s waning patience.

Sixty five minutes later, the escalator was ready to transport the guests one floor up. Wrist bands issued earlier had to be shown for entry. At the top of the escalator, a large crowd had already formed. A fellow escalator rider was heard wondering angrily: “We were waiting for so long, but actually so many people already here?!” Inside, the pop-up, Mediacorp stars and influencers had first dib of the offerings, including the man of the hour himself. Dressed simply in a black T-shirt (with sleeves folded up) and black pants (not jeans), he was obliging everyone who approached him with selfies and polite chatter, but remained inscrutable behind vaguely cat-eyed shades, which he kept on all night. When he left the store to address the crowd outside, grown women near the door were hyperventilating: “Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!” The people who should be there—the screaming fans—were not. They continued to wait in collective high for their idol to exit the hotel. Somewhere above them, he was dancing enjoyably, fenced by more-delighted, also-bopping lasses.

Jackson Wang addressing the crowd outside the Team Wang Designpop-up at Voco

Jackson Wang was born in Hong Kong before he moved to Seoul to be part of the group Got7, a name that would work very well on our island. As fans know by now, Mr Wang was spotted while playing basketball in school by JYP Entertainment (Stray Kids!) agents who managed to persuade the school goer to join an audition for the company’s global search for talents. Among 2,000 participants, he came up top. Although around this time he was offered a Standford University scholarship for fencing (he was very much a sportsman, following the footsteps of his fencer father and gymnast mother), he turned it down. Instead he answered the calling to do music. He accepted the JYPE offer and moved to Seoul in 2011. Ater two years of notoriously tough K-pop training, including a made-for-television competition which pitched trainees of JYPE against YG Entertainment (Blackpink!), Mr Wang was made member of Got7, debuting with the single Girls Girls Girls in 2014. The rest is, as is often the case with K-popstars, has been the unstoppable rise of Jackson Wang.

Last year, it was widely reported that Got7, JYP Entertainment’s “most successful boy group”, has “terminated” their contract with the company. This came amid fan dismay that JYPE had allegedly not done enough for their boy groups, with Got7 singled out (their career had curiously been dominated by EPs rather than full-length albums, for example), leading to the thread on Reddit, ”JYP STOP SABOTAGING GOT7”. Fans were distraught that their fave septet would be no more. But, The Korea Times clarified in an editorial just three months ago that without JYPE, “this was not the end of GOT7―instead, it was a new beginning”; the group released a self-tiled EP. Even when recording new material with his band mates, Jackson Wang was forging ahead with his own carrier, concentrating on his homeland market, China. He founded Team Wang in 2017 as, first, a record label. The 28-year-old is considered to be quadrilingual—“fluent”, many say, in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean, so the plan was to establish him as an international star. His first single under Team Wang was 2019’s all-English Papillon. A year later, he released a duet with soon-to-begin-his-world-tour JJ Lin (林俊杰), the R&B-ish Should’ve Let Go.

The one print of the collection—tiger tails hidden in the profusion of peonies—that seems to draw shoppers

Team Wang Design was birthed in pandemic-high 2020, reportedly after three years of gestation. HBX, the e-store of the streetwear news site Hypebeast, describes the label, which it carries: “Wang’s vision is to align his brand with his wardrobe”. But the rapper-turned-designer is known to be partial to Fendi (although he has been associated with Armani and Adidas). He is, according to Vogue, “a Fendi muse”, and so enamoured he is with the Roman label that he even rapped about it in the track Fendiman from 2018, and urged his listeners with the plea, “call me Fendiman“. That possibly lead him to sign, a year later, with the brand as their China ambassador. Although his own label was not released until two years, he did rap in the same song, “Team Wang, label what I made”, preempting that the clothes would be on par with Fendi’s. The first collection and the core line that reflects the brand’s DNA, Cookies—The Original, comprises what are almost synonymous with streetwear: T-shirts, hoodies, blousons, trackpants, and hoodies, and all in black. The images for the launch are admittedly arresting, and are evocative of brands with European roots.

Team Wang Design, in many ways, treads the path already paved and trodden by HK-star-conceived brands such as Edison Chen’s Clot or Shawn Yu’s Madness. Celebrity multi-hyphenates are really crowding the pop/design sphere, and it would take more than references to Chinese culture, motifs and whatnot (a direction also adopted by Clot), to stand apart from the rest, or the West. The latest collection of Team Wang Design is part of another line called Sparkles. Like Cookies, the pieces would be considered staples that Mr Wang’s fans would not find challenging to accept. The brand says on their website that “pastel pink, flowers, and this season’s iconic floral design” are for “creating the perfect midsummer party”. Mudance, a play on the name of the Chinese flower mudan (牡丹花) or peony, is about enjoying oneself; is about play. Mr Wang told Vogue Thailand last month, when he was in Bangkok to shore up support for the Bangkok leg of the pop-up, “It’s summertime and summer is fun, and it’s crazy. Everybody jump (sic), and everybody needs to dance. So that’s why this collection we call it Mudance.” If the word would not excite lexicographers, the print may move graphic designers. He explained further: “It is a mixture of, of course, the mudan flower and the year of the tiger.”

The queue outside the Team Wang Design pop-up this morning

This morning, along the sidewalk between Voco Hotel and Wheelock Place, many youngsters were carrying the familiar Club 21 paper bag. Emerging from the side entrance of the renamed hotel, two teenaged girls in oversized tees and invisible shorts were each with the same carrier. We asked them if they had just visited the Team Wang Design pop-up. They froze with shyness. We told them we just wanted to know if it was any good. “Yes,” they chorused and giggled. “We came last night, but they won’t let us in. No invitation. So we try again today, lah.” Was it packed? “There is a queue,” they replied in unison, again. “The store opens at 10.30, but we were here at nine.” Your bags are full. Did you buy a lot? “Yah,” and they moved off with a gurgle of giggles

The pop-up is in an actual shop lot. Outside, two gold, metal trees (palms?) rose out of an irregular sand pit, set on a plywood floor in the colour of, well, peony. (The sand suggested the seaside and, therefore, beach wear. According to Mr Wang, it “is something I’ve always wanted to do; I’ve always wanted to do a beach pants [sic] for guys and then, a bikini for girls”.) Inside, the massive space, with just two racks of clothes, looked like it was half-dipped in pink cream. The light emerging from it cast a pale patina the shade of strawberry milkshake over the beach set-up. A queue that continued to lengthen had formed on the perimeter of the sand pit. There were mainly girls in the line. One of them was heard exclaiming, “I love this pink”, concurring with Jackson Wang, who said in the Vogue Thailand interview, “I chose pink because—honestly, personally—I’m a big fan of pink… And I just wanted to do it… I’ve always had a feeling for pink.”

Be Thankful for the Little Things… and the big things that make the little things work

I’ve said it before: small things can make a big difference.  This Thanksgiving (and every day), it’s important that we remember and give thanks for the little things.  The little things, like microRNAs (miRNAs).

miRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that are important for the inhibition of gene expression via RNA interference (RNAi).  For RNAi to occur, miRNAs or other small RNA molecules, like small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), must bind to target messenger RNA (mRNA).  Once bound, they prevent translation by cleaving or blocking access to the target mRNA.  For details, see the pretty animation below!1

But where do these miRNAs and siRNAs come from?  Well, if you jump to 2:45 in the video, you’ll meet the special protein, Dicer, encoded by our Gene-of-the-Week: DICER1.  Dicer doesn’t actually produce the small RNAs from scratch, but it is necessary for their processing from double-stranded RNA (viral) and pre-miRNAs (encoded by the genome).  It’s kind of like how my mom is the one who makes the pumpkin pie, but I, too, deserve credit for slicing it… right?  Anyway, Dicer is also important for loading these mature miRNAs onto argonaute proteins, necessary for the formation of the RNA-induced silencing complex, or RISC.2

Below is a slightly intimidating figure from Foulkes, et al. (2014) that shows the structure of Dicer (b and c), as well as several common mutations within DICER1 (a).

(a) 133 reported germline and 95 proven somatic DICER1 mutations. Several important domains are color-coded along the DICER1 strand: the DExD/H box helicase domain locates and clamps down on dsRNA; Platform and PAZ form binding pockets for the 3′-overhang and 5′-phosphate ends of the dsRNA; the connector helix (c.h.) is part of the linker/ruler that determines the size of the small RNA produced by the cleavage; RNase IIIa and RNase IIIb form the catalytic core responsible for cleaving the dsRNA.  (b) and (c) show the structure of Dicer with the important domains color-coded as in (a).  From Foulkes et al. (2014)

Mutations in DICER1 can cause what is called “DICER1 syndrome,” which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.  Despite the many dots in (a) of the above figure, DICER1 syndrome is thankfully quite rare.  The number of associated cancers, however, is huge.  DICER1 mutations have been associated with lung, breast, skin, ovarian, and oral cancers.  The most common phenotype associated with DICER1 syndrome is pleuropulmonary blastoma (of the lungs).  Additional phenotypes include Wilms’ tumor, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, and cystic nephroma, all of which are also thankfully very rare and treatable.  So far, it’s unknown how the mutations and phenotypes are linked.  In fact, both decreased and increased levels of DICER1 have been associated with cancers, so it is unclear if it can be classified oncogene or tumor suppressor gene!3

Recently, Dias et al. (2014) reported that Dicer may play an important role in the “pro-resilient” effect of β-catenin.4  Briefly, increased β-catenin (Ctnnb1) expression in the nucleus accumbens of mice decreases their depressive responses in social defeat and forced-swim tests.  β-catenin overexpression also produces anxiolytic effects in the elevated plus maze, while leaving preference for sucrose and cocaine unaffected. Dias et al. reported low β-catenin levels in the post-mortem nucleus accumbens of depressed humans.  They also found that β-catenin binds to Dicer1, modulating miRNA production.  They found that mice without Dicer1 did not benefit from β-catenin overexpression.  Therefore, the pro-resilient effect of β-catenin may be mediated through Dicer.  The Dicer connection between resilience, β-catenin, and miRNAs may provide targets for depression treatment in the future!

So this Thanksgiving, be thankful for Dicer, which is important for making important small RNAs that might make us more resilient against the things that we should not think about on Thanksgiving…

DICER1 pop

DICER1 popularity increased in October, potentially spurred on by the comprehensive review by Foulkes et al. published in September. It will be interesting to see how its popularity has increased this month as a result of the stress resiliency findings from Dias et al.!

Puppy Thief in Livermore Charged with Possession of Stolen Property and Extortion (CA Penal Code 496 and 518)

Puppy Thief in Livermore Charged with Possession of Stolen Property and Extortion (CA Penal Code 496 and 518)

Rabin Nabizadeh
March 27, 2014

One of the most joyous moments in many animal lovers’ lives is when a new member is introduced to the family.  However, one of the most terrifying things a pet owner can face is having their beloved companion taken from them with no warning.  This is exactly what happened to a woman in Livermore when she returned home to find her two German shepherd puppies were missing.

Being clever, she did what any other conscientious and worried person would do, she began looking for the stolen puppies anywhere she could think of.  Eventually, she discovered that they were for sale on Craigslist.  In an even more daring move, she called the number and set up a meeting to buy her puppies back, posing as an interested buyer.  When she confronted 30-year-old (name withheld in order to protect the privacy of the accused) about how he acquired the pups, he evidently ran away.  She contacted local law enforcement officials and they were able to return both of the dogs to her without further incident.  He has been charged with possession of stolen property (CA Penal Code 496) and with extortion (CA Penal Code 518).

In the state of California, possession of stolen property, even a live animal such as a puppy, is a wobbler.  Whether or not this crime is prosecuted as a misdemeanor or as a felony depends on the value of the property itself.  Felony charges could result in 3 years in state prison; conviction of misdemeanor possession of stolen property could result in 1 year in county jail.  He has, however, also been charged with extortion, more commonly known as ‘blackmail.’  In this case, as he was technically forcing the original owner to pay money for the return of her pets (even though he did not know she was the owner), this constitutes extortion according to California law.    Penalties for a California extortion conviction are a maximum 4 years in state prison and a $10,000 fine.

NASA safety advisers warn ISS transition plans on “precarious trajectory”

WASHINGTON — NASA’s safety advisers warn that the agency’s efforts to transition from the International Space Station to commercial space stations without a gap are on a “precarious trajectory.”

At a July 21 meeting of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel, members said they were concerned that commercial stations whose development is being supported by NASA were unlikely to be ready in time before the ISS is retired at the end of the decade, and that those efforts suffered from insufficient budgets.

Those plans, called Commercial Leo Earth Orbit (LEO) Destinations by NASA, “are on a precarious trajectory to realization on a schedule and within the projected resources needed to maintain a NASA LEO presence,” said Patricia Sanders, chair of the panel. “This is an area of concern for us.”

NASA selected proposals from teams led by Blue Origin, Nanoracks and Northrop Grumman in December for funded Space Act Agreements to mature their designs for commercial space stations. The agency has a separate agreement with Axiom Space giving that company access to a port on the ISS to which the company is preparing to attach a series of commercial modules that will later form the core of a stand-alone station.

However, Amy Donahue, a member of the panel, said that NASA plans to issue formal requirements for its use of those stations only in late 2024. “There is very little margin for ensuring a continuous US presence in LEO is maintained” given the planned ISS retirement in 2030, she said.

The concern the panel had, she said, involved human-rating of a commercial station, noting that the current schedule calls for doing so faster than any other agency human spaceflight program since Mercury. “It raises some question about what NASA might do to mitigate the risk of failing to meet this schedule,” she said. “It’s certainly a concern for us from a risk perspective.”

The panel is not the first to warn that NASA’s schedule for replacing the ISS may not be achievable. A report by NASA’s Office of Inspector General last November, just before NASA made its commercial space station awards, warned a commercial station “is not likely to be ready until well after 2030” and that NASA’s schedule for have one or more ready before 2030 “ is unrealistic.”

Another issue is resources not just for supporting development of the stations but also NASA’s use of them. “It doesn’t have a forecast or a way to guarantee to provide the extent of NASA’s business once a commercial laboratory is available,” Donahue said. “We also see it as likely that NASA will have to provide bridge funding during the transfer of operations from a fully funded government space station to a fully commercial space station for the duration of time required to develop a robust commercial market.”

“In short,” she concluded, “NASA really needs to acknowledge and plan for the underlying reality that maintaining a continuous human presence on orbit now and into the future is going to require significant government investment.”

Keeping the ISS operating through 2030 faces challenges of its own. Another member of the panel, Mark Sirangelo, noted several issues that both NASA and the safety panel have been tracking, from geopolitical tensions with Russia to pressure shell cracks in a Russian module.

“The ISS is now in its third decade and it is feeling its age,” he said. “It faces new challenges all the time.”

The panel, he said, found no serious issues that threatened the station’s operations, but called on NASA to expedite replacement of the aging spacesuits whose technical problems currently prevent astronauts from performing spacewalks.

Some of those problems are beyond the control of NASA. Sirangelo cited the growing orbital debris population that has sharply increased the number of close approaches, or conjunctions, with the station. “The number of conjunctions with the ISS has increased substantially, and by multiples, over the last two years,” he said.

Much of that is due to the November 2021 demonstration of a Russian antisatellite weapon that destroyed the Cosmos 1408 satellite and created thousands of pieces of debris in orbits that intersect the ISS. He said that, as of June 1, there had been 681 conjunction notifications for the station so far this year. Of the, 505 were linked to debris from that ASAT demonstration.

Why is gravity so weak? The answer may lie in the very nature of space-time

Why is gravity so weak compared to the other four fundamental forces?

Even if it were a billion times stronger, it would still be the weakest force — by a factor of a billion billion. The strange feebleness of gravity sticks out, almost demanding an answer.

Black Cohosh Root

ORAC Value:
μ mol TE/100g.

The antioxidant value of Black Cohosh Root described in ORAC units is: 126,495 μ mol TE/100g.

A species native to the eastern side of North America, the black cohosh (Actaea racemosa, syn. Cimicifuga racemosa) has been used for centuries as an herbal remedy for various feminine issues. The Native Americans used it to relieve menstrual cramps and symptoms associated with menopause like hot flashes. In the U.S. it is only considered a dietary supplement (not a medication) but the German government approved it for these purposes almost a half century ago.

While the black cohosh flower is beautiful to look at, it is the root extract which demonstrates the apparent medical benefits. In addition to this supplement, there are numerous estrogen foods which many women find beneficial.

How much antioxidants there are in black cohosh root ranks it among the best superfoods. In fact, it's higher than many like acai fruit powder at 102,700, pure cocoa powder at 55,653 and maqui berry powder at 27,600. The food types with similar ORAC values to black cohosh will primarily be dried spices like turmeric, oregano, and cloves. Even though this root extract is a potent source of antioxidants, it would not be good for men to use given its higher phytoestrogen content.

Black Metal Cloning

Now my residency at Isabelle Schad’s Wiesenburg Halle is finished (a place with more or less no internet), I can blog a bit of what I’ve been up to in rehearsing Black Metal 1. Firstly, I cloned myself.

Costume Tryouts (“None More Black.”)

This week, I am in Wiesenburg, the workspace hall of my good friend, choreographer Isabelle Schad. She asked if I’d like to have a short residency here while she’s away – yet again – on tour in France and the US. I said, “Yes!” and thought, “Oh dear, what am I going to do?” Well, ideas that have been percolating on and off for a couple of years and bashed out in bedroom rehearsals earlier this year get to run rampant in the huge hall. There are many things here, a kitchen, courtyard, garden that becomes almost a forest, all in a 150 year old former homeless people’s asylum that’s been growing into a said forest for 60 years. One thing there isn’t much of is internet, so I’m slipping this out while it functions: some costume tryouts from today and Monday … “None more black.” (And while we’re talking about music, I discovered one of my favourite mediæval chicks, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) was also a prolific composer; I’ve been using her O tu suavissima virga, recorded by Sequentia, and sung by Barbara Thornton.)

Specific, distinctive, original, the whole body in…

Specific, distinctive, original, the whole body invents; the head likes to repeat. Head, stupid; body, brilliant. Why didn’t I learn its creative force sooner? Why didn’t I understand when I was younger that only the glorious body could be taken for real? This is why, in the twilight of my life, I sing of it, for the edification of my successors. What are you going to do in the high mountains, at your age? Prepare my writing. Study, learn, certainly – something of it will always stay with you – but, above all, train the body and have confidence in it, for it remembers everything without weight or overloading. Our divine flesh alone distinguishes us from machines; human intelligence can be distinguished from artificial intelligence by the body, alone.

Variations on the Body, Michel Serres

How to fix the "Students without linked parents" warning

The red Students without linked parents warning indicates that students have been imported onto Tes Parents' Meetings from a management system, but are not linked with a parent record. Parents of those children will not be able to log in and book appointments, etc. You can get a list of the students affected by clicking the Download list of x students without parents link.

Although admins can make appointments on behalf of those parents, the best solution is to fix the problem at source. This article shows you how to do this for the most common School Management Systems, by assigning the parent to the student in some way or another. Below the table, you will find some steps to find out which circumstances apply to a particular parent.

Circumstances Solutions
The student has not been synced through a management system but other students are pulled from your management system The student cannot be assigned any to parents in a way that allows the parent to log in and make appointments. Admins must make bookings for such students via Add Appointment.
The student isn't synced through from a management system or import file Students can be assigned parents through the parent import in the Data > Import Parents section. In some cases, you may find duplicate students, one synced, one not synced. In these cases you can removed one version of the student. Some steps to check if the student is manually added can be found below.
The student is pulled through from a management system and they have parents assigned to them in the management system The parent may:
  • Be a new contact. Running your management system synchronisation again should resolve this.
  • Not fulfil the criteria to be pulled through. You can find this criteria in the relevant guide on our School Management Systems category. Re-running the synchronisation following this fix should resolve the problem.

If you're in any doubt about the parental record not showing, please get in touch with us on 0333 344 3403 and we'll be happy to investigate.

Identifying a student without linked parents

Linked parents always show under the student's record in Tes Parents' Meetings. To check the student, go into the Data > Students section then click the Edit (pencil icon) button. The page will look something like this:

Identifiying manually added students

You can find manually added students by going to the Data > Students section. Manually added records do not have the cloud icon. The cloud icon is shown in the 'Synced' column in the screenshot below:

Sibelius 6.0a Template Default?

Hey everyone!

I just recently updated to Sibelius 6.2, and got the template. Let me first start off by saying, AWESOME job! Love it.

Now, my problem is, whenever i input tremolo's on a part, they do not show up. They playback, but they do not appear in the score of individual parts. Maybe this is normal, but I haven't found anything to help me.

I'm not using a MIDI keyboard, I'm manually inputting all the notes, using my I-touch to input, and am manually changing the note heads.

Hope this is enough info so I can get going here!

Thanks guys
Sounds strange. I've never had an instance of tremolo markings not appearing, other than when having a problem with a weird issue related to the fonts Sibelius uses.

1) The first thing you could try is going to the Sibelius site and install the most recent version of Scorch, which contains all of the fonts used in Sibelius, then restart.
2) If that doesn't work, shut down Sibelius, go to your Font Book application, and disable all of the fonts in the families of Helsinki, Opus, Reprise, and Inkpen. Then re-enable them and restart Sibelius.
3) If THAT doesn't work, you'll need to go to [i]/Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts[/i] and delete all of the fonts listed in the last step. The run the Scorch installer again. This should fix the problem

Let us know how you get on.
It just fixed itself. It was weird.

I finished a score, saved it, closed down sibelius, went back the next day, and they were all there.

Probably just a fluke in my system or something.

All is well now

[Canada] COVID-19: How to bookkeep your CEBA loan

If you’ve received a Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loan, here’s how to bookkeep it, from start to finish.

The Canada Emergency Business Account, or CEBA, is a loan program created by the Government of Canada which is up to 25% forgivable, depending on how the funds are spent. And now your CEBA loan has been approved: congratulations! Here’s how to record it.

You may want to consider opening a separate bank account for the CEBA loan deposit, to simplify the tracking of how you use the loan funds.

To record the initial loan deposit:

  1. Under the Accounting tab in the left-hand navigation menu, select Chart of Accounts, then click the Add a New Account button.
  2. In the Account Type dropdown, scroll down to Liabilities & Credit Cards and select Loan and Line of Credit.
  3. Enter a name that you'll easily recognize (for example, "2020 CEBA loan"). You can also include an account number and a description, if you'd like. Click Save.
  4. Now head to the Transactions page. Click Add income to create a transaction.
  5. For the Account, select the bank account the loan proceeds were deposited into.
  6. In the Category dropdown, select Transfer from Bank, Credit Card, or Loan, select the new CEBA loan account you just added, and then click Save.

If you’ve connected your bank account to Wave, it will import the deposit transaction showing the loan funds available in your account. Instead of creating a new transaction, you can simply categorize the imported transaction to your new loan account.

The loan is interest-free until December 31, 2022, and if you pay 75% of the loan by December 31, 2022, the remaining 25% of the loan will be forgiven. Let's look at how to record those steps.

To record a principal payment on the loan:

  1. Head to Accounting and then Transactions; either find the payment transaction imported from your bank account connection, or click Add expense.
  2. In the transaction details, enter or verify the account the payment was made from, the date, and the amount of the payment.
  3. In the Category dropdown, select Transfer to Bank, Credit Card, or Loan, select the new CEBA loan account.
  4. Click Save.

To write off the forgivable portion of the loan:

  1. Head to Accounting and then Transactions; click Add income.
  2. Enter a description, choose the date, and enter the amount of the forgiveness in the Total amount field.
  3. Open the Account dropdown and select the CEBA loan account.
  4. In the Category dropdown, scroll down to click Add a new account.
  5. In the screen that pops up, open the Account Type dropdown and scroll down to Income; select Other Income.
  6. In the Account Name field, enter something specific (for example, “CEBA loan forgiveness”).
  7. Click Save, and the transaction will be categorized to this new account.
  8. Click Save on the transaction details pane, and you’re done!

The forgiven amount of the loan may be taxable, so it'll be important to keep this amount categorized separately from the other revenue your business earned. You'll also need to use the loan funds for allowed expenses, so keep careful track of how you spend the money.

If your CEBA loan converts to a 3-year, 5% annual interest loan, you can record those payments as you would with any other loan.

Recording regular loan payments:

  1. Head to the Transactions page. Click Add expense, enter the bank account for the payment with the Account dropdown, select the Date of the payment, and enter the payment amount into the Total amount box. Or, find the imported expense transaction in the bank account, and select it to open the transaction details pane.
  2. Below the Category dropdown, click the Split this withdrawal button.
  3. In the Category 1 dropdown menu, select the CEBA loan account, and enter the principal payment amount into the Amount box.
  4. In the Category 2 dropdown menu, select Interest Expense, and enter the interest amount into the Amount box.
  5. Click Save, and you're done!

The Importance of Backup Servers in Business

Data security has become a huge industry. With the information your business generates being a prime target for hackers, secure backups offer peace of mind that enterprises can’t afford to skip. Data security concerns are only growing across the world, with security giant Norton estimating that there are approximately 2,200 cyber attacks per day. That’s not even counting the other threats that business data faces from natural disasters, failing equipment and human error. In this article we want to discuss the importance of backup servers in business and uncover the threats that your data faces on a daily basis.

What is Data Backup?

Above all else, data backup is the key to preventing data loss in your business. A major part of IT strategy, putting a backup and recovery plan in place means you will always have an up-to-date copy of your data at hand.

There are three key types of backups used to prevent data loss in businesses:

  • Local backups. Perhaps the simplest method of backing up data, local backups involve setting up local servers – typically onsite at your business’ location – and periodically saving your data there. This can be an expensive solution, but for small businesses or high-security industries, it’s often the most desirable option.
  • Remote backups. Traditionally, backing up your data meant sending a copy to remote servers. Whether the servers are owned by your company or the service provider, your information is backed up to physical storage that lives offsite and away from your ordinary place of business, offering an extra layer of security.
  • Cloud backups. An increasingly popular, affordable and flexible option for businesses, there are now plenty of operators offering cloud backup services. Typically supplied for an ongoing fee, cloud hosting services allow you to automatically upload and download your data on demand from wherever you are in the world, making this a popular option for businesses with remote or travelling workforces.

Whatever type of storage you use, modern backups rely on software to automate the process. At regular intervals – such as hourly, daily or weekly – specialist software will automatically transfer copies of your critical data to your secure storage. In some cases, backups will even hold onto a version history of your data, meaning you can recover earlier copies if you need to.

Protect Against Disasters

While we’d rather not experience any major disasters or failures in our business, accidents do happen, and events like floods and fires can pose a real risk to your data. Securing your information with regular, periodic backups to offsite or cloud locations means you will be able to recover the information if your business ever suffers a disaster. When lost or ruined data can interrupt your business and cause strain between you and your clients, having copies of critical information allows you to trade on without interruption. This doesn’t just protect your short term profits. It protects your reputation as a business and your relationships with clients.

Secure Data Protection

The internet has revolutionised the way we work and store data. But, it has also opened up a new avenue for outside attackers to reach the important and sensitive data that your business handles. With almost everything we do now being stored online in one place or another, businesses have become a common target of hackers and malicious viruses. This means your data is at risk of being stolen, corrupted or hacked, regardless of the size of your business.

The issue of external threats is especially important for companies that employ people with a wide range of tech-savvy. While some of your employees might have no trouble avoiding things like phishing scams or malware, misunderstandings and simple errors can lead to your systems being compromised through your employees’ actions. Having your data backed up allows you to recover information if a mistake or malicious attack corrupts your information, and it will add a layer of security to protect against threats like viruses

Invest in Reliable Backup and Recovery Services with Surety IT Today!

With data security and backups having a major impact on the way you do business, it’s never too late to invest in backup and recovery protection. Having secure copies of your work means you’ll never find yourself compromised by disasters, hackers or simple human error.

Jewelry Care

While products are designed to last, proper care is an important part of keeping your jewelry looking it's best. Be sure not to wear your jewelry while cleaning or working with harsh chemicals, in pools or spas, or while playing sports. Store your jewelry individually to keep them from scratching each other. Store sterling silver jewelry with anti-tarnish strips to keep them looking their best. To clean your jewelry, use a warm, soapy water soak and a soft brush - especially when cleaning jewelry that contains gemstones.
