It packs inside 5” FWVGA (854 x 480 pixels) IPS display, 21Mbps HSPA+, and 8MP main camera along with 1 GB RAM and 8GB of built-in memory which is further expandable (via microSD card slot).

The LG L Fino smartphone carries a 4.5” WVGA display and 1.2GHz quad-core CPU with an 8 MP main camera. It has 1GB of RAM, 4GB of expandable memory, HSPA+ network connectivity, and 1,900mAh battery on board.

Home button flex cable

A week ago I ordered a new screen for my iPad (4th gen). We replaced the screen but by doing so, we damaged a cable going from the ipad to the home button. So now the home button doesn't work anymore.

Hi Charlotte,

Unfortunately I don't have an iPad 4th generation. But you mentioned that the cable going from the iPad to the home button was damaged. This cable might need to be replaced.

It might help you to take a look at the teardown of the iPad, as provided by iFixit. Here is the link (has two pages):

Based on these pictures you might be able to identify the item you need to replace. I would then look at various online platforms in Belgium or even Germany.

Hi slider

I would suggest going to email settings and deleting the current email account.

Once this is done, you can set up the same email account once again. This will help hopefully

Wendy, it will work as a first aid. The rice will pull out the water. One of the things that can happen, is that the rice will swell up to a point where you can not easily remove it. Be careful at the dock connector end as well as the head phone jack. The Rice will not clean the logic board and other parts. So you may be experiencing corrosion failure down the line. I suggest that you disassemble the phone, and clean it. You can follow this guide. even so it was written for a 3G it applies to your phone as well. The guides to work on your phone are here Hope this helps, good luck.

I had to try to dry a smart phone that fell in a toilet (allegedly clean!). It was a Samsung Intercept, and I put it in rice and made sure it got sunlight and switched the rice and everything. Minimal functionality was restored, but there was still something wrong. Months later I tried to use it again, and everything was 100%. If you cannot seem to dry it up in a few days, don't throw it out! Some hard to reach wet spots could dry over time

Determining Requirements for Management Support Systems

Determining Requirements for Management Support Systems

Sven A. Carlsson (Lund University, Sweden)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-59904-567-2.ch009
OnDemand PDF Download:
List Price: $37.50

The nature of managerial work makes the design, development, and implementation of Management Support Systems (MSS) a major challenge. The MSS literature suggests that determining MSS requirements and specification of MSS are the most critical phases in MSS design and development. We present a methodology that can be used as a guide for MSS design, with a primary focus on MSS requirements determination and how requirements can be fulfilled using information and communication technologies (ICT). The methodology builds on Quinn and associates’ competing values model (CVM) of organizational effectiveness and current MSS knowledge. The methodology can guide MSS designers in designing MSS that support different managerial roles, i.e. the development of MSS that support managerial cognition and behavior.

Soda Book- and Magazine Store in Berlin

Soda, the popular Munich store opened a branch in Berlin Mitte living up to their motto ‘curious publications for curious people.’ The store and it’s selection is quite suitable for a Saturday morning well spent browsing through their magazines, looking for inspiration no matter if you are a designer, culinary artist, photographer, illustrator, editorial enthusiast, architect or generally interested in visuals and the printed matter.

We went to visit Isabell Hummel and Sebastian Steinacker at the store to learn more about their assortment of publication and the concept behind the clean, crisp white shop.

Soda exists in Munich since 11 years already. Since when do you have this shop in Berlin?

Since January 2015 at Rosenthaler Platz.

Why did you choose Berlin as a location for your second shop?

Apart from Berlin being just an inspiring and fun place to be, it’s both, chance and challenge. There are more competitors as in Munich but the creative industry is also much bigger as in other German cities.
Furthermore Berlin is an international city. The best place to get in touch with the rest of the world.

Did you choose Mitte and the Rosenthaler Platz as a location intentionally?

We spent a lot of time in getting to know the city and try to feel which location would be right for us. Mitte and the area around Rosenthaler Platz was on top of our list from the beginning. Eventually a coincidence tipped the balance: through a phone call with a client we were lucky enough to get the shop at Weinbergsweg 1 offered directly by the landlord.

Why did you choose such a clean concept for the space? Aren’t people afraid to come in and get in touch?

The concept was developed together with interior architects of Designliga.
The basic idea was naturally to put in focus what it’s all about: the magazines and books. The shop itself should, just like in Munich, fade into the background to give the product as much space as possible.
It happens that passers-by come in asking if we’re a Gallery. We take it as a compliment: in the end each cover is a small graphical artwork.

What can customers find at the shop? How do you assemble the collection?

Here you can find books you didn’t know you needed and magazines you had no clue existed.
The themes often revolve around design, art, culture and the intersection between those things. The collection is rather visually oriented than text-heavy.
I do the selection together with my team. Due to the high amount of new publications we’re rather critical. Not every new title will find its place on our shelves. We often rely on our intuition instead of listening to the hard facts.

How did you get into working with magazines?

I studied fashion design at Central Saint Martins College. Our professors asked us to do a lot of research on our projects: on the streets, on fairs, in museums and at retail – and of course at book stores and the many libraries on campus. The school was located between Soho and Covent Garden on Charing Cross Road – the epicenter of the British book trade. All major chains have their flagship stores close by and in between you can find small specialists: second-hand bookshops, specialist bookshop, comic shops – and a few that are specialized in design, offering clothing as well as books and magazines.
When I came back to Germany I was hooked – and quickly felt like I was going cold turkey. The solution was rather obvious: open your own shop.

Which magazines do you read regularly or enjoy the most?

I don’t really read any magazine on a regular basis. Instead I look at everything and I’m often surprised by which titles strike me the most.
A good example is WASD, a ‘Bookazine for gaming culture’. I have nothing to do with gaming and it’s a long time ago that I last played a computer game. Though WASD succeeds in bringing the topic into a cultural and social context in such humorous and clever ways that I often end up reading the whole thing.
Other new and old favourites of mine are e.g. Tapas, Dummy, Collectif and the newly released Craftrad.

Magazines are currently often struggling. On the other hand there are still some new print releases coming up. What does a printed magazine need to have to still work for the reader?

Print is still working if it’s developed out of a personal passion, if someone is really working around a topic he/she truly cares about.
Ideally it’s a topic that wasn’t examined by a dozen other people. If additionally an innovative designer is on board, you have the best starting point.
On the other side it gets difficult if a big publisher tries to jump on the trend train. Too many people in one team that are forced to give account to many other people above them – that rarely works. And on top of that comes Controlling…

Why do you personally like printed magazines?

I really like print as a counterdraft to the incredible speed we produce and consume information. I prefer quality rather than quantity.
A blogpost that get’s published in the morning can be at page x in the evening. The writer has probably not really the time to really engage in the topic – since he/she is already busy drafting the next post.
That’s different with print. In many cases articles are better researched and executed. Which is not surprising, considering they often get published twice or four times a year. Naturally the author has more time for his work. And he knows that his/her article will be up to date for a at least a few months.
Another important factor is of course the surface feel of printed issues. The format, the scale, the paper, the binding and the quality – important factors that are crucial for the overall impression of the book or magazine. No tablet can simulate this experience. And I don’t really like to rely on batteries and charging cables.

What do you like about Berlin?

That I can get lost walking around. That there is a latitude regarding the interpretation of regulations.

Your favourite places in Berlin?

Around Rosenthaler Platz: Galao for a quick breakfast, Superconcious for clothing. I’m always excited about Dim Sum at Yumcha Heroes. The park at Weinbergsweg to enjoy the sun right in front of our door. In the evening I like to go to Anita Berber Bar or, if it should be a little more quiet, for a dark beer at Schwarze Pumpe.

Kennedy-led company used Madigan’s firm for property tax refunds

Kennedy-led company used Madigan’s firm for property tax refunds

Gubernatorial hopeful Chris Kennedy is advocating for “a property tax system that can’t be abused by the wealthy and insiders.” But new documents suggest a Kennedy-led company enlisted the help of the city’s most politically connected property tax law firm to lower its bills.

A company led by Chris Kennedy, Democratic candidate for Illinois governor, retained the services of House Speaker Mike Madigan’s property tax law firm, documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests suggest.

Madigan & Getzendanner won more than $133,000 in property tax refunds for at least one property owned by Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc., or MMPI, according to two checks the Cook County Treasurer’s Office sent out in 2009. Kennedy served as the president of MMPI from 2000 to 2011.

Merchandise Mart property tax refund

Merchandise Mart property tax refund

Both checks indicate property tax refunds paid to the order of “Merchandise Mart Prop c/o Madigan Getzendanner.” The first refund of $60,884.17 was for tax year 2003. The second refund of $72,460.08 was for tax year 2005. The checks were sent to the office of Madigan & Getzendanner at 30 N. LaSalle St.

The property identification number listed on both checks corresponds with 33 N. Dearborn St., a 24-story tower in the Loop. MMPI parent company Vornado purchased 33 N. Dearborn in 2000 and sold the property in 2005.

“33 North Dearborn is a solid asset with quality tenants and we’re very pleased with the opportunity to own and manage it,” said MMPI President Joseph E. Hakim in a September 2000 press release. Kennedy replaced Hakim as president of MMPI one month later.

Kennedy has recently criticized fellow Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker for receiving a sizeable property tax reduction on a Gold Cost mansion Pritzker had allowed to fall into disrepair.

“It’s an inherently corruptible system and we ought to reject it,” Kennedy said to reporters in reference to Pritzker’s property taxes.

A Kennedy fundraising email also advocated for “a property tax system that can’t be abused by the wealthy and insiders.”

Political commentator Rich Miller asked Kennedy if this property tax comment referred to people such as Madigan.

“I don’t think this is about individuals. I think this is about a whole network that makes it nearly impossible to see integrity in the system for the average voter, the average taxpayer …” Kennedy said.

“Having faith in government, understanding that government can be an ally, understanding that government can function at a higher level is something that occurs in other states. We don’t have that here because people don’t believe that the system is just or rid of corruption. We need to rid it of corruption by changing the system.”

The Cook County property tax appeals business is notorious for pricing political connections at a premium.

Madigan’s clients include many of Chicago’s biggest developers, as well as major corporate players such as Hyatt Equities LLC (for whom Madigan’s firm earned at least $1.4 million in property-tax refunds since 2008, according to documents from the treasurer’s office), the Chicago Board Options Exchange ($1.4 million) and Bank of America ($800,000).

The Pritzker family controls Hyatt.

The man in charge of Cook County property valuations is Joe Berrios, the Cook County assessor. He attained this position in 2010 with the help of Madigan’s political workers. Berrios also serves as the Cook County Democratic Party chairman.

Detailed records of property tax appeals prior to 2008 from the Cook County Board of Review and Cook County Treasurer’s Office are limited. As a result, the extent to which MMPI used Madigan’s firm during Kennedy’s tenure beyond these two refunds is currently unclear.

Illinois House passes bill to allow residents to dissolve townships

By Brendan Bakala
On March 29, the Illinois House of Representatives voted almost unanimously in favor of allowing voters to decide on local government consolidation – a crucial component of shrinking local government spending, which drives up property taxes. State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, sponsored House Bill 496, which received bipartisan support – more than a dozen representatives...

Nike introduces 'Day to Night' collection of Apple Watch Sports Bands

Nike has launched a new, colorful collection of bands for the Apple Watch. This new collection is inspired by the Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit (Day to Night" collection of running shoes and all of the bands are all in the same perforated style that has so far defined the Nike Sports Bands.

From Nike:

The "Day to Night" collection celebrates runners whenever they choose to run – at twilight, sunset and everything in between. Each of the colors is inspired by a shade of the sky, from dawn to dusk, and allows runners to – for the first time – make a statement by matching their Apple Watch Nike+ bands to their footwear.

Just as with the standard Apple and Nike Sports Bands for Apple Watch, the Day to Night collection is priced at $49 per band.

You can get your hands on them on now from Nike's website or at select Nike retail locations. The bands will come to Apple's online store, Apple Stores, and authorized resellers later this month.

The site is a little wonky right now, and I can't get the links to work, but that should be fixed soon.

Farmers sticking to their guns for deals of 336c/kg

Joe Healy

By attempting to pull quotes by 3-6c/kg, the beef processors run the risk of becoming even more unpopular than our beleaguered Taoiseach.

And cattle numbers, while not as scarce as standing ministers at the moment, are down over 3,500hd compared to the corresponding week last year. Last week's kill was estimated at 28,400 animals.

The good news is that despite the usual game that the factories play when trying to entice farmers to sell, most of the cattle being killed this week have been bought at prices above what they are trying to quote.

Steer base quotes on the grid are generally at 330c/kg, with the plants buying off the grid also quoting this figure for the R grades.

Some farmers are negotiating prices of 336c/kg.

There is a bit more of a difference on the heifer quotes with a range of 336-342c/kg being offered. There are reports of a flat price of 342c/kg paid in the west for O+ and O grade heifers, while 347c/kg was paid for good quality underage heifers in the east of the country.

In-spec heifers being killed in Donegal have been bought at 361c/kg for the Us and 350c/kg for the R grades. Steers were making 3c/kg less. Out-of-spec stock are 11c/kg less.

Tops for U-grade young bulls seems to be 347c/kg, with this being the general quote around the country. Moyvalley is a bit behind at 336c/kg. R grades range from a low of 330c/kg in Moyvalley, up to a price of 342c/kg, which is available from the likes of Liffey and Kepak Clonee. Kepak Athleague is offering 336c/kg, with 333c/kg being quoted in some of the AIBP plants in the south. The O grades are making between 319c/kg and 325c/kg.

Also Read

The tops I heard for cows over the past week was the 311c/kg Duleek was said to have paid for R grades. The best quotes and prices elsewhere for good cows varies from 298c/kg to 308c/kg.

O grades appear to be making 280c/kg to 298c/kg, with plainer cows ranging from 269c/kg to 280c/kg. Some farmers selling a mixture of O and R grades are negotiating flat prices of anything between 294c/kg and 308c/kg.

Commenting on the trade, IFA livestock chairman Michael Doran said that with the kill for the year projected to fall by 150,000hd due to the high level of live exports and the large kill last year, feeders should dig in, reject the negative scaremongering by the factories and agents and insist on higher prices.

He added that with the recent significant price increases for feed and fertiliser, farmers needed to see beef returns improve.

Latest reports from Britain show that the trade was reportedly unchanged.

Bord Bia reported that demand for round and steak cuts was seasonally quiet, while forequarter product was reportedly moving well and strengthening.

Reported cattle prices from the AHDB have increased slightly with GB R4L grade steers averaging at Stg£292.5p/kg deadweight (equivalent to 361c/kg including VAT deadweight) for the week ended January 15.

Trade remains good in the key European markets as restocking continues to take place. Forequarter cuts are in best demand. In Germany, the R3 young bull price is making €3.73c/kg, with the O3 cow price making €2.59c/kg. Irish steer hinds in France were making €4.64-4.84c/kg. In Italy, the R3 young bull price is averaging €3.66c/kg with O3 cows making €2.64c/kg.

Epic achievement lays milestone for Irish scholarship

Any criticisms of the new Dictionary of Irish Biography pale beside the scale of its success, insists Charles Lysaght

Charles Lysaght

The production by the Royal Irish Academy of this magnificent nine-volume dictionary of Irish biography from the earliest times to the year 2002, outlining the careers of prominent Irishmen and Irishwomen, is a milestone in Irish historical scholarship.

James McGuire and James Quinn ed

Cambridge University Press, £650 until February 28; thereafter £775

It is modelled on the Dictionary of National Biography, first published in London under the editorship of Leslie Stephen at the end of the 19th Century and then updated with new volumes every 10 years covering those who had died subsequently. It was then overtaken in 2000 with the publication by Oxford University Press of a comprehensive new 60-volume dictionary.

The original Dictionary of National Biography had a good coverage of Irish subjects, reflecting the then status of the whole island of Ireland as part of the United Kingdom. The Oxford dictionary is much less comprehensive in its coverage of more recent Irish figures, even those from Northern Ireland.

That gap is more than filled by these nine volumes. The subjects (more than 9,000 in number) include artists, architects, scientists, lawyers, journalists, actors, musicians, composers, bankers, sports heroes, religious figures, pop stars, writers in Irish and English, engineers, criminals, public servants, politicians, philanthropists and other more alarming categories such as informers, prostitutes, paedophiles and murderers. The entries range in length from 200 words to 14,000 on Eamon de Valera (with James Joyce by Father Bruce Bradley SJ running second).

Persons not born in Ireland are included if they spent part of their life in Ireland and had a significant impact on Irish life. Persons born in Ireland are excluded where their birth in Ireland was fortuitous and had little influence on their career.

The editors acknowledge their debt to the recent broadening of historical interest into new fields of study and instance women's history. Even so, only about one in 10 entries relates to females -- there are more for recent decades. It is amazing how many achieving Irish women were educated at Alexandra or were nuns.

The majority of the entries are written by an in-house team of about 80. They would have come to most of their topics without specialist knowledge of their subject's life. It might be thought that this would preclude any great originality or insight. But this is not necessarily so. While not all of these entries are sufficiently researched and some suffer because the author has insufficient background in the speciality of the subject, in-house contributors such as Patrick Maume and Bridget Hourican display exceptional knowledge and insight over a remarkable number of diverse subjects.

It is understandable that multiple contributors would have had to take on faith previous writings on a subject rather than go back to the primary sources. This has been productive of error in some cases. However, all is not lost. We are promised that the on-line edition of the dictionary will correct errors and omissions that are pointed out.

Some of the entries, including most of the longer ones, are the work of outside contributors who have specialist knowledge of their subjects and have in some cases written biographies of them. These have the merit of being comprehensive. However, it may be indicative of literary egocentricity that some biographers include no work other than their own among the sources, which are appended to all entries as a guide for further reading and are a valuable feature of the dictionary.

The editors entrusted some entries to a friend of the subject. Obviously personal knowledge is a help, especially for those who have not lived in the public eye or left papers. But some such entries may be faulted for tending to eulogy rather than balanced appraisal and omit uncongenial facts. In other cases friends seem to have relied totally on their personal knowledge and not researched other facets of the subject's life.

In the case of some major historical figures, who have had several biographies, the editors have commissioned leading historians in the area to supply a fresh perspective. Professor Ronan Fanning, a lifelong student of the history of independent Ireland but never a biographer of any of its leaders, has contributed insightful full-length entries on Eamon de Valera, Sean Lemass and Jack Lynch. Owen Dudley Edwards has written stylishly on Oscar Wilde and his remarkable parents. The originality of these pieces is at the level of evaluation and assessment rather than factual disclosure.

Important as these major entries are, the main value of the dictionary is in its account of figures who have not had biographies, even brief biographies, and who might otherwise have vanished from view. The amount of information on such figures made accessible by the dictionary is staggering.

Hitherto the main source of material in such cases has been obituaries in newspapers or in professional or institutional journals. These vary enormously in quality. Some professions, such as the medical one, are meticulous in recording the lives of their deceased members in this way. This may explain why doctors are so generously represented in the dictionary, although it may be regretted that Dr Louis Courtney of Nenagh and Dr Joe McGinley of Letterkenny, both immense figures in their locality as well as their profession over a long period in the 20th Century, have not been included.

Obituaries are a valuable source, albeit one to be treated with caution. It is a criticism of many entries that no reference has been made to them. Insufficient use has been made of the online archives of newspapers that have become available in recent years. In some cases missing information on parentage could have been ascertained by looking up the registry of births.

Many eminent names among our biographical writers and academic community have made little or no contribution to this dictionary. Entries that they were best qualified to write have been left to the in-house team, whose lack of specialist background has sometimes taken from the end product. It is not clear whether those most qualified were not invited to contribute or were insufficiently moved by a sense of noblesse oblige to overlook the absence of payment to outside contributors and support what is a flagship of Irish scholarship.

Few entries are by journalists; perhaps, like Dr Johnson, they reflected that nobody, except a blockhead, writes other than for money. But journalists, and indeed all writers, are well covered; generally it was conducive to inclusion, if not necessarily to objective appraisal, to have published one's memoirs.

Independent Newspapers will rejoice in the coverage given to its over-maligned proprietor William Martin Murphy, his worthy son Dr William Lombard Murphy and its long-serving editors Tim Harrington, Frank Geary, Michael Rooney and Hector Legge as well as notable journalists such as John D Hickey, Arthur McWeeney and Stanley Bergin, the cricketer.

The editors confess that the decision who to include was one of their most difficult tasks. It was not just a question of choosing the most interesting subjects. They had to contend with the reality that the quantity and quality of material available on different people is not necessarily proportionate to the relative significance of their life's work.

Individual readers will inevitably find fault with some inclusions and some omissions, not to mention the relative length of different entries. Ordinary civil servants, who have long viewed the airs and graces of our diplomats with a jaundiced eye, may wonder why rather insignificant Irish ambassadors are included but not men of the significance of Edward McCarron, head of the Department of Local Government from 1922 until his controversial dismissal in 1936, or Padraig O Cinneide, the first head of the Department of Health based in the Custom House, who as Patrick Kennedy had written in 1921 of the burning of the building by the IRA from the viewpoint of a British civil servant.

If diplomats are over-represented, Irish Christian Brothers are probably under-represented given their crucial role in the advancement of the less privileged in Irish society.

There may be scope for an extra volume along the lines of that published with the old Dictionary of National Biography entitled "missing persons" in addition to the supplementary volumes promised for those who died since 2002.

At the end of the day any criticisms pale beside the magnitude of the achievement. The heroes of this wonderful enterprise, which has been almost two decades brewing, are the editors James McGuire and James Quinn. Not alone have they marshalled the work of a range of contributors -- many of them doughty individualists unlikely to have been amenable to much direction -- but McGuire's piece rehabilitating the Jacobite Duke of Tyrconnell, who lost the Battle of the Boyne, and Quinn's one on that most proudly Irish of all British Army generals, Sir William Butler, rank with the best in the whole dictionary.

Last week the Dictionary of Irish Biography was honoured with the 2009 American Publishers Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) for Best Multivolume Reference work in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Freight and logistics ideally suited for Weighing-in-Motion Axle Weigh

Supplier: AccuWeigh
14 June, 2016

AccuWeigh’s Perth branch have recently completed the installation of our Drive & Weigh 8000 Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system for a customer involved in freight and logistics.

To enable full compliance with their Chain of Responsibility requirements the customer chose the WIM due to the time savings offered and weighing accuracy achieved with the system.

AccuWeigh's Alex Berenyi, who was involved with the customer's project from the early days, was able to demonstrate that there would be savings with time and vehicle wear while delivering the required accuracy and user-friendly operation of the system.

Traditional axle group weighers require the vehicle to stop with each axle group on the weighing surface which can cause problems for operators on sites where many different vehicle configurations are used.

"Without the need to stop each axle group within the weighing surface, our Drive & Weigh 8000 reduces weighing issues, especially for longer trucks, and speeds the process thereby offering improvements in efficiency." said Berenyi.

Learn more about our revolutionary Drive&Weigh 8000 and what it can do for you by downloading this brochure: http://www.accuweigh.com.au/pdfs/AccuWeigh-weighing-in-motion.pdf.

Breast Care

Early detection is the best way for women to improve the success of treatment for breast cancer. To help women make screening a priority, we offer five convenient clinic locations that make it possible to have a mammogram on the way to and from work or school.

Accredited by the American College of Radiology, we provide state-of-the-art technology for screening or diagnostic tests including:

  • Screening and diagnostic mammography
  • High-definition ultrasound
  • Breast biopsies
  • Breast cyst aspiration
  • Galactogram (X-ray of milk ducts)

Radiologists are available to read mammograms and consult with patients undergoing diagnostic tests. Patients having screening mammograms receive written results through the mail.

3D Mammography Now Available at Mobile Infirmary

The Genius™ 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exam allows doctors to examine your breast tissue layer by layer. So, instead of viewing all of the complexities of your breast tissue in a flat image, as with conventional 2D mammography, fine details are more visible and no longer hidden by the tissue above or below. This cutting-edge technology is now available at the Breast Center at Mobile Infirmary. Click here to read more information or call 251-435-2453 to make an appointment.

Breast Cancer Treatment Education Brochure

Pursuant to Breast Cancer Education Act of 2013 (Act 2013-284) the Alabama Department of Public Health has developed this informational summary regarding breast cancer treatment options for patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Physicians are then required to disseminate the summary to breast cancer patients.

The summary includes an explanation of the various methods of treating breast cancer, breast reconstruction alternatives, and insurance coverage availability for these treatments.

The information is not intended to replace the advice or recommendations of a patient's physician. Rather it is a resource to help patients learn about breast cancer treatment so that they can make the best choices regarding their own treatment plan.

I love the shimmer look that this item has along the the other colors that are like it. However the look is about all i like. They are to runny and the color bleeds on everything. The only way I could use mine was to squeeze it out of the tube and mix it with some corn starch to stiffen it up so that that i could use a regular piping bag and pipe with it. However, adding the corn starch took away the sparkly. Just to much work to get the product to some what work. I thinks its a waste of $4.

These gels are really only a great idea if you're short on time and can't pull out a piping bag to decorate.

They're fairly runny, and often run when piped onto buttercream.

I'd really only purchase again if I were in a pinch, or if I were letting kids loose on some decorating!

This product is great if you are needing the black outline, but if you're just looking for something to give you an outline that you will fill in after, I would go with a lighter color because this one is so dark and can bleed as it gets old.

I used this to make stripes and dots on bumble bee and ladybug cupcakes, and they came out really great. The gel was really easy to use and came out smooth and consistent, so the lines were nice and clean. Even overnight, the gel stayed in place and the color didn't run. The only drawback is that the tubes are rather small for the price--I needed 5 tubes for 24 cupcakes, which really added up.

This is an overall good product. I bought this at walmart to write happy birthday on a cake and the consistency was a little thinner than I expected and kind of ran into the white frosting on the cake, but the overall effect was achieved and it didn't alter the taste of the cake.

Microsoft Launches Delve For Office 365 - InformationWeek

Microsoft Launches Delve For Office 365

Microsoft claims Delve, a new Office 365 product, will know which content is important to you before you do.

Windows 8.1: 8 Things I Hate About You
Windows 8.1: 8 Things I Hate About You
(Click image for larger view and slideshow.)

For months, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and other execs have been talking up Delve, an Office 365 app that aims to deliver important content before you even know you need it. Starting Monday, the company began rolling out Delve to its Office 365 business customers, who will finally get to judge whether the app's real-world use lives up to its advertised clairvoyance.

Previously code-named Oslo, Delve relies on Microsoft's Office Graph technology, which uses machine-learning to track the links among people, content, and activities across Office 365 applications. Using insights derived from these relationship maps, the app presents a personalized "news feed" for each user that "displays [the content] most relevant for each person based on the work they are doing and the people with whom they are engaging," Office GM Julia White wrote in a blog post.

["Bing it"? These Microsoft product placement attempts are just, well, cringeworthy. See Microsoft Product Placement: 4 Awkward Moments.]

Presented in a card-based interface, Delve's snippets of information include a number of social media-like elements. Each card features comments, "likes," views, and tags that help the user understand why Delve thinks the information is useful and how it's being used by teammates. The Facebook-like cues aren't accidental. In March, when Delve was first teased under the Oslo banner, White told InformationWeek that enterprise social tools need more of the active and open dynamics found in consumer social networks like Facebook and Twitter. She said Delve represented an attempt to "cut through the noise" at work, just as we rely on social networks to show us trending topics when we're outside the office.

Delve doesn't replace your OneDrive account, SharePoint sites, or Exchange inbox so much as offer a new way of discovering and interacting with the information they contain. "With Delve, information finds you versus you having to find information," White said in Monday's blog post.

In addition to the newsfeed element, Delve features a number of ways for users to view and search all the Office 365 documents and resources to which they have access. Rather than digging through an inbox looking for a lost attachment or asking a co-worker to resend an accidentally deleted email, users can simply click a link to see everything their colleagues have shared with them. From there, they can drill down with search tools. Delve contains views for all the files users have recently viewed or worked on. Users can also type a co-worker's name to see all the content trending around that person.

Delve's cards also allow users to leap to action. Clicking a document card launches Office Online, for example, allowing the user to edit and share the document almost as soon as Delve suggests it. As with all Office 365 products, admins retain permissions controls; Delve will allow users to view only content to which they've been granted access.

Office Graph currently incorporates information from email, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, and Yammer. In coming months Microsoft will add additional signals, including email attachments, OneNote, and Lync. White said Delve is the first of many products that will rely on Office Graph's machine-learning capabilities.

Microsoft released a video explaining how Office Graph works and teasing the Delve UI. It demonstrates various ways Office Graph might help workers collaborate. Office Graph might recognize that a user is about to go into a meeting, which triggers it to look for calendars and participants related to the meeting, and use this and other data to determine the meeting's topics. Armed with this information, Delve presents prep cards for the user to review while en route.

Microsoft will hold a YamJam (the Yammer equivalent of Reddit's "Ask Me Anything") on Wednesday at 9 a.m. Pacific Time to address customer questions. Delve is included in Office 365 E1 - E4 subscription plans, including A2 - A4 and G1 - G4 plans for academic and government customers, respectively. Starting in 2015, Delve will also be included in Office 365 Business Essentials and Business Premium plans. Current Office 365 Small Business, Small Business Premium, and Midsize Business plans will also get access to Delve in January.

Cloud Connect (Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, 2014) brings its "cloud-as-business-enabler" programming to Interop New York for the first time in 2014. The two-day Cloud Connect Summit will give Interop attendees an intensive immersion in how to leverage the cloud to drive innovation and growth for their business. In addition to the Summit, Interop will feature five cloud workshops programmed by Cloud Connect. The Interop Expo will also feature a Cloud Connect Zone showcasing cloud companies' technology solutions. Register with Discount Code MPIWK or $200 off Total Access or Cloud Connect Summit Passes.

Re: Google Now

I am not too excited about this trend of software trying to anticipate your every whim.   I don't even know what I want half of the time - how is software supposed to anticipate this ?

Just one more product I won't be using from MS.

Re: Google Now
Microsoft's really been talking this one up to all of its key audiences. Consumer awareness probably isn't that high, but on the enterprise side, it seems like Microsoft expects to prove a point with Delve. We'll see. Similarities to Google Now aside, this sounds like a really useful addition to Office 365.

Re: Google Now
It does sound a bit like Google Now. I think that Microsoft needs this badly. I have never been a huge fan of the way the company organizes information, especially its SharePoint product. The ability to find information has always been like a black box on SharePoint, so it's time to see some innovation there.

Microsoft is feeling the pressure from Google – that's the impetus for this.

Shall we organize an event in Kabul? Dinner?

Hi everyone,

I don't know about you, but due to the nature of my work and strict security rules, I'm finding it nearly impossible to meet other expats. Places like L'Atmosphere, Carlitos and any decent health club are all off limits for our organization and with really only Chicken Street left, I'm getting a bit of cabin fever.

Not sure when the last Internations event was held in Kabul, but who's interested in attending one in the coming weeks?

Hoping to meet some new faces,

Revitalising Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' for a new generation

17 Mar 2017 BY Elinor Walpole in Film Features

6 mins
Beauty and the Beast 2017
Beauty and the Beast 2017

Continuing the trend that started with 2015's Cinderella, 2017's Beauty and the Beast brings another Disney animated classic to vivid life, drawing from its source material to provide a deeper look at its characters. Stories hinted at in the original songs are fleshed out in this new version, with Belle and her father given a reason for being relative newcomers in their small village, having fled tragedy in Paris. New songs - in addition to the old favourites - also help to sweep the audience deeper into the film, to further understand Belle and the Beast's family histories, and how they have been shaped by them.

Many of the other elements of the film have also been expanded for visual impact. Over 1,000 crew members created the film's sets, while the Beast's fantastical castle - which shares many gothic elements with the surreal French adaptation, La Belle et La Bête - makes use of CG technology to physically show the effects of the curse. The showdown scene between the castle's inhabitants and the angry villagers also benefits from an update, becoming a full-scale and very chaotic battle, with each household object having their moment in the spotlight as they react to the assault.

There is plenty of fun to be had transforming the magic of the animation into realistic-looking action, and while most elements have been made bigger and more impressive, a couple of things from the 1991 film had to be toned down. As Josh Gad, who plays Lefou, explained to our reporter Blesina at the film's premiere, the frantic slapstick that delivers laugh after laugh in the animated version doesn't hold up to a live action interpretation, and so Lefou had to be reconsidered and given a role that allowed for a little more subtlety and character development.

A major concern for the film is increasing the focus on gender representation, not least because gender equality advocate Emma Watson (who interviewed influential education equality campaigner Malala Yousafzai for us at the 2015 Into Film Festival) took on the role and shaped it as her own. Known from a young age as Hermione in the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson has since starred in a diverse range of films, from coming-of-age adaptation The Perks of Being a Wallflower to heist drama The Bling Ring, before arriving at Beauty and the Beast, which sees her returning to the sort of dark and magical-leaning family fare that launched her career. The original Belle of the 1991 animation set the standard for a Disney hero who was more active and not afraid to think for herself; qualities that Emma Watson and her other cast members want a young audience to be inspired by; a trend that has continued from Mulan through to Moana.

Emma Watson's influence can be seen in taking Belle's book-loving nature up a notch in order to embody creativity as well as curiosity, and her character comes up with several ingenious schemes to allow her to spend more time reading, and to share her love of knowledge with the community. However, Belle is widely treated with suspicion, and there are cautionary tales of other village women who refused to conform that have been outcast and left to beg in the street or live in the woods. Adding a historical context to show that women of Belle's time were so dependent upon men - even if just to keep a roof over their heads - reveals how brave Belle's defiant spirit is. It makes her comparable to the character of the same name in 2013's Belle, in which a woman struggles against racial prejudice as well as her position as a female in order to make her own choices and pursue wider justice. The fate of cast-out women is also explored in films such as MaleficentParaNorman, and, with a gentler effect, Howl's Moving Castle. The message in Beauty and the Beast is that there is much to gain from listening to women's wisdom.

As well as promoting strong female role models, the film also has fun with ideas of masculinity. The film's opening sequence spends time establishing the lavish primping and preening that the Prince (prior to his Beast transformation) undergoes in preparation for the ball. As well as having his vain side, the Beast's character has also been reinterpreted to show audiences more of the human trapped within the animal, rather than showing a total monstrous transformation. His appreciation for literature, showcased in the iconic library that's recreated from the animated film, becomes an opportunity for he and Belle to share something as equals, as they bounce ideas and opinions off one another. As the Beast, actor Dan Stevens had to wear special bodysuits and walk on stilts, and his facial expressions were captured separately, with his face painted in phosphorescent make-up and lit with UV light for accurate tracking by multiple cameras. While Dan went through an ordeal to portray his character, by contrast Emma Watson's costumes for Belle were liberating, with design changes incorporated in the signature look of the character to allow a full range of movement for activities such as horse-riding and exploring her new environment.

As charming as the original and adapted to inspire a new generation, while still acknowledging what made the animated version so compelling, 2017s Beauty and the Beast is set to inspire young audiences everywhere to be curious, brave, and to challenge prejudice whenever they encounter it.

What makes Belle such an inspiring Disney Princess

Student Success Day

Student Success Day

Tuesday, Feb. 6th

8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. in Heritage Hall
8:30 a.m. - Noon in Fine Arts

Check out this FREE, all-day event on Feb. 6, featuring keynote speaker Ella Dorner. Stop by for FREE food and over 50 engaging sessions including college resources, careers and networking, money management, transfer information, study skills and MORE!

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about SSD?

What happens—what are some of the events and activities?

Many of the activities simply involve meeting with your teachers one-on-one or in small groups, in their offices or other designated rooms. Presenters also offer over 60 classroom sessions, 30 minutes-1 hr. each, on a wide variety of interesting, useful topics. Past SSDs, for example, have included these sessions:

"Getting the Most out of Lectures!" "When Are We Going To Use Math!!!?"
"STRESSED OUT?!?!?" "Seven Habits of Successful Students"
"Speed Skimming & Speed Reading" "What To Do if Your Instructor Sucks"
"How To Survive Online!?!" "Broaden Your Horizons--TRAVEL!!"
"Discover Nautilus & Fitness Equipment" "Subvert Class to Your Interests"
"Turning a Reading into a Study Guide" "Money! IHCC Scholarship Opportunities"

Is there a main speaker?

One of the highlights of each SSD is the nationally famous motivational speaker.  The speaker typically will give a high-powered keynote presentation in a filled Fine Arts Theater at 10 am, and a follow-up leadership workshop.  The keynote presentation will be repeated at 6:00 pm.

What about food?

Another highlight is the free food.  In the first part of the morning, coffee, juice, rolls, and donuts are free in Heritage Hall.  There is free pizza in the cafeteria at noon, and in Heritage Hall at 5:00 pm. Get free popcorn 11-1:30 pm in the foyer of HH 203.

What else is special?

Yet another highlight is each year's special fairs and display events that last from two to five hours during SSD. In past years, these have included such events as a Service Learning Fair, a Cultural Diversity Fair, Nursing and Paralegal special events, Smart Money sessions and in the spring a Transfer Fair with representatives from a number of nearby colleges and universities.

How about careers—what if I'm career oriented?

In the spring, SSD emphasizes careers and disciplines more, with special sessions and events to aid the aspiring graduate, both in his or her discipline or major and in her future after Inver Hills.  In addition to the Transfer Fair above, typical springtime SSD sessions have included Exploring Majors and Careers, How To Do Science Poster Projects, Preparing a Great Resume, PowerPoint for Student Presentations, and more.

Where do I start?

See the SSD Home Page for the date of the next SSD. Check the schedule to see what hours you want to attend.  When you get to campus, register free in Heritage Hall.  You'll get a nametag you should wear in order to get into sessions and receive free food.  As you walk south on the central mall of the campus, Heritage Hall is the furthest south building on the right.  See the Campus Map.

Should I plan ahead?

It's not necessary, but it helps.  See the Schedule 1-7 days before the next SSD. Use the Planner to mark in your choices and alternates for each hour.  Sometimes it's helpful to mark in two or three choices.  If you don't like the first session you attend, you can leave after a few minutes simply by walking out or politely excusing yourself and saying, "I have the wrong session."  You are always welcome to walk into other sessions late (even very late!).

What if I come late?

Most sessions begin at around 9 am.  Keynotes are at 10 am.  Arrive whenever you wish.  If you are late for a session--even half an hour late--please feel free to walk in anyway: you're always welcome at any time. If your food or drink is making you late, bring it in with you.

Can I bring in food and drink to a session?

Please do. Presenters would rather have you in the session with food and drink than not have you there. But please bring napkins or plates with you–whatever is available–to help keep carpets and tables clean. No food in the Fine Arts Theater please.

Where's the Schedule?

The schedule is available here, typically one week before SSD.

If I have a Schedule, why register?

First, it helps us, the SSD planners, a lot if you register. Then we know how many people to plan for next time.  Second, the Web schedules don't have room numbers on them.  We don't plan the room numbers until the last minute. So, you need to register to get the final printed copy of the Long Schedule.

The Schedule—Why does it have no room numbers?

The Long Schedule on the Web has no room numbers. This is because the rooms are added just a few days before SSD to accommodate last-minute changes and allow time for printing. So, please register in Heritage Hall, to get a schedule with room numbers on it.

What if my teacher holds class on SSD?

That's normal if you're in an accelerated, fully-online, or off campus course.  Also, some classes with hourly certification requirements in technical fields--such Emergency Medical Services or Nursing--may have to be held anyway. However, all other classes are canceled and the rooms may be used by SSD events. Some instructors—especially community instructors who are professionals who share their knowledge by teaching in the evening—may not know much about SSD nor regularly check their Inver Hills email. If so, you can help inform them by asking them to visit this Web site and/or email SSD. We would appreciate your patience and assistance in informing new and community teachers about SSD. If you would like help determining whether your class should meet, please email us.

Is SSD at other colleges?

Yes. In the Twin Cities Metro Area, the first college to have an SSD was Century College. In Minnesota, we and Rochester Community and Technical College were the second schools with an SSD  Minneapolis Community and Technical College's first SSD was February 2007, and Normandale Community College has started one, too. Other two-year colleges in Minnesota also are starting one or will do so in the future. Century College, the first, learned of the idea from the Community College of Denver in Colorado.

UN Rights Envoy on Five-Day Fact-Finding Mission to Burma

By The Irrawaddy 4 August 2015

UN human rights envoy to Burma, Yanghee Lee, is currently in the country for her third official visit since assuming the role in June 2014.

Lee, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Burma, will meet government officials, civil society representatives and other stakeholders during her five-day trip to assess progress on human rights in the country.

“[Burma] is at an important juncture. I will continue to carry out the functions of my mandate in a balanced, impartial, and transparent manner,” Lee said prior to her trip, according to a UN press release.

Lee’s visit will also involve gathering information on the electoral process ahead of Burma’s much-anticipated national poll on November 8.

The Special Rapporteur endured a challenging last visit to the country in January, with Burma’s Foreign Ministry issuing a statement accusing her of “selectivity” and infringing on state sovereignty.

She was also infamously labeled a “whore” and a “bitch” by hardline nationalist monk U Wirathu—comments that Lee said the government should have condemned.

Lee will hold a press conference on Friday, the final day of her August 3-7 trip. She will submit a report to the UN General Assembly in October.
