I can identify with your husband, because that's exactly where I am, too (except, I'm still in the "terrified to tell her" stage, though that is easing a bit). I love my wife and have never strayed, and have hated myself for a long time for the feelings I get for other women. After all, how could I, when my wife is so very, very good to me and loves me so much?

I don't have anything to offer, except perhaps some perspective on what it's like to be a man who feels this way, and who has wanted to do the right thing, but bears the societal stigma of "of course he wants to have his cake and eat it too."

Alibaba Billionaire: AI Will Cause More Pain than Happiness
Source: Olivia Solon

Artificial intelligence and other technologies will cause people "more pain than happiness" over the next three decades, according to Jack Ma, the billionaire chairman and founder of Alibaba.

"Social conflicts in the next three decades will have an impact on all sorts of industries and walks of life," said Ma [pictured above], speaking at an entrepreneurship conference in China about the job disruptions that would be created by automation and the internet. A key social conflict will be the rise of artificial intelligence and longer life expectancy, which will lead to an aging workforce fighting for fewer jobs.

Ma, who is usually more optimistic in his presentations, issued the warning to encourage businesses to adapt or face problems in the future. He said that 15 years ago he gave hundreds of speeches warning about the impact of e-commerce on traditional retailers and few people listened because he wasn’t as well-known as he is now.

"Machines should only do what humans cannot," he said. "Only in this way can we have the opportunities to keep machines as working partners with humans, rather than as replacements."

Even so, Ma acknowledged that in the future companies will likely be run by robots.

"Thirty years later, the Time magazine cover for the best CEO of the year very likely will be a robot," he said. Robots can make calculations more quickly and rationally than humans, Ma added, and won’t be swayed by emotions, for example by getting angry at competitors.

Leaders who don’t understand that cloud computing and artificial intelligence are essential for business should identify young people in their companies to explain it to them, he said.

His comments echo a number of studies suggesting that automation will eliminate jobs, including a Forrester study that suggested 6% of all jobs in the US would be eliminated by 2021. The job displacement will start with customer service representatives and eventually move to truck and taxi drivers, the report read.

Current technologies in this field include virtual assistants such as Alexa, Cortana, Siri and Google Now as well as chatbots and automated robotic systems. For now they are quite simple, but over the next five years they will become much better at making decisions on our behalf in more complex scenarios, which will enable mass adoption of breakthroughs such as self-driving cars.

Architectural Metal Coatings

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) analyzes products to provide architects with benchmarks for quality in selecting the right products for new construction and renovation projects.

The AAMA 2605 high performance specification is the highest standard available for organic coatings on architectural aluminum extrusions and panels, reserved for products that offer superior performance.

DURANAR® 70% PVDF Solid Extrusion Coatings

Duranar fluoropolymer extrusion coatings are AAMA 2605-approved 2-coat systems consisting of a patented primer and a durable color coat that combines PPG proprietary resin and pigment technologies with 70% PVDF resin. For 50 years, Duranar liquid extrusion coatings have demonstrated exceptional resistance to chalking, fading, chipping, peeling, dirt collection and chemical staining when properly applied on exterior aluminum surfaces.

Duranar Sunstorm fluoropolymer extrusion coatings feature the same technology as conventional Duranar 2-coat extrusion coating systems with the addition of mica pearlescent flakes to the durable color coat layer, which enables them to achieve a metalescent look without aluminum flake and a clear topcoat.

DURANAR® XL Metallic Coatings

Consisting of a patented primer, a durable color coat, and clear top coat (3-coat system) or a patented primer, barrier coat, durable color coat, and clear top coat (4-coat system), Duranar XL coatings provide exceptional aesthetics and durability in aggressive seacoast and industrial environments. Added layers of protection enable Duranar XL coatings to resist abrasion and retain gloss and color after long-term exposure to atmospheric contaminants such as acid rain.  The addition of a clear coat enhances the UV-resistance of the coating to prevent chalk and maintain color over the lifetime of the finish.

DURANAR® 70% PVDF Fluoropolymer Extrusion Powder Coatings

Environmentally friendly Duranar fluoropolymer powder coatings provide harder surfaces that are extremely resistant to damage during fabrication, shipping, installation and use. A patented manufacturing process enables Duranar powder coatings to be produced economically in small batches of standard and custom colors for individual building projects. These products are always applied over a primer, which combined with their exceptional durability, makes them the best choice for harsh seacoast and industrial environments.

CORAFLON® FEVE Fluoropolymer Extrusion Powder Coatings

Coraflon fluoropolymer powder coatings combine the benefits of 1-coat capability with high gloss, outstanding color retention and superior chalk resistance for multiple end-use applications such as extrusions, storefronts, fencing, doors, window frames, railings and light poles. For severe environments, Coraflon powder coatings should be applied over a liquid or powder primer.

Tipping In Prague - How Much To Tip

The waiter is approaching with the bill:
-confirm whether tip is included in the bill, if not then tip 10% -15%.

The taxi driver is waiting for you to tip him:
-if you agreed on price before you got in then no need to tip. Otherwise you can round up and tip 10%.

Communism Proves Tipping is a Good Thing

Before 1989 Communism ruled the land. Everybody worked willingly to make the state a better place for their comrades. Naturally there was no need for tipping.

Waiters served food and drink because it was their lot in life - it was what they were put on this earth to do. They went to school and studied the art of tray balancing and fake smiling. After graduation they received a bowtie and a dependable paycheck.

A waiter worked hard because the harder he worked the better the state would be. A satisfied patron was his greatest reward, he did not want or need a tip. A thumbs up from a satisfied comrade was the only tip he required.

At least that is how it was supposed to work. What the communists system of rewards neglected to account for was the annoying fact that waiters are human.

How does a human act if you brand them a waiter for life, give them a set salary, and compensate hard work with pats on the back? The great communist experiment proved that because they are human they become a terrible waiters. Without tips to encourage good service and with a set monthly paycheck the incentive is to become a bitter and unpleasant waiter. The main objective on the job becomes to ensure an empty restaurant.

A common experience from the days before tips: The waiter is slow to take your order, either hiding in the kitchen or on his third smoke break. When he finally cames around he fidgets with the pencil and rolls on his heals to make it clear that you are wasting his time. When you are ready to pay the bill he would promptly disappear into the kitchen. He would rather that you do not pay the bill because when you leave he will have to clear the table and make room for the next guests - forcing him to go through the whole process of serving again.

Fortunately, for you and your eating experience, communism was ousted and tipping is now the norm. Waiters greet you, smile at you and display concern with your level of satisfaction. It's phony, but the waiter knows that if his act is believable enough you will reward with a tip.

Who to Tip and How Much

Before we discuss the details of tipping it will make things simpler if you know how much Czech CZK are worth:

  • 20 Czech CZK is 1 US Dollar
  • 100 Czech CZK is 5 US Dollars
  • 500 Czech CZK is 25 US Dollars

Tip a Waiter

Tipping in restaurants is the norm. There are still a few Czechs stuck to old ways refusing to tip (usually the older generation). At most they will round to the nearest 10 CZK – a bill for 292 CZK will earn the waiter 300 CZK (a 25 cent tip for $15 meal). The waiter frowns but gets satisfaction contemplating that this non-tipper belongs to the oldest generation and will soon be gone.

But you, a tourist, should tip around 10% - 15%. For an average meal it is simplest to round up to the nearest 20 CZK or 100 CZK. A meal for two with a couple of beers will cost around 270 CZK – give the waiter 300 CZK and he will not frown or imagine you in a coffin.

It is not customary to leave a pile of bills and coins on the table. When the waiter comes to collect he will show you the bill and you will hand him the money including tip and say ‘dekuji’ (thank you).

If you do not have change and you are feeling adventurous, for a 270 CZK bill you can give a 500 CZK bill and say ‘tři sta‘ 300 (say the total including tip) – he will take that to mean that you want 200 CZK in change.

Tip a TAXI Driver

Taxi drivers have a bad reputation in Prague – they deserve it. In 2010 a study was done to determine how much taxi drivers charge tourists for a ride from the airport to city center. Half of the taxi drivers overcharged.

A taxi ride from the airport to city center should cost around 600 CZK. A few taxi drivers have charged ‘tourists’ 5000 CZK.

After many complaints from tourists the city started to listen and did a few things to ratify the problem. When you step out of the airport you will notice a special place for official Prague taxis. These taxis have a fixed price for specific destinations in the city center. No haggling or surprises - just check the sign for the destination where you want to go and it will tell you how much the taxi ride costs.

All around the city are designated taxi stops with a sign describing how much you should pay from one destination to another. For example, if you want to go from the Main Train Station to the Airport, simply check the sign and it will tell you how much you should pay. When the taxi arrives confirm with the driver the price.

Of course, if you hail your own taxi from some random street at 3am you are at the taxi driver’s mercy – enter at your own risk.

Since the prices from the airport to city center are fixed you do not necessarily need to tip from the airport. But if you are in a giving mood, 10% is an acceptable tip. Try to round it up to the nearest 20 CZK or 50 CZK. If the bill is 380 CZK then pay 400 CZK. If the bill is 660 CZK pay 700 CZK.

Tip a Porter

I have never been in a Prague hotel so have never needed the services of a porter. But I hear an acceptable tip for lugging your luggage is 40 CZK.

Tip a Hairdresser

Let’s say you need a haircut during your vacation. Seems like something you should of done before you came to Prague – maybe you spit your gum out, the wind caught it and it is in your hair. How much should you tip the hairdresser? In a situation where you are not sure how much to tip, 10% or simply to round up. My haircut is 85 CZK, I pay 100 CZK.

The Tip is Included in the Bill – Avoid These Restaurants

In tourist zones there are restaurants that attempt to remove confusion by automatically adding the tip to the bill. Usually, when you enter the restaurant, there is a sign stating the practice and the tip is written on the bill.

This practice is supposed to solve two problems:

  1. Eliminate the need of the confused and uncertain tourist trying to figure out how much to tip.
  2. Protect the establishment from stingy tourists who assume that there is no tipping in Prague.

You might think this is a good practice – all the hard calculations are done for you. But unfortunately there is a major drawback with the tip included in the bill. If communism has taught the world anything it is that guaranteeing a waiter a set wage results in poor service. Because the waiter does not need to work for a tip there is no motivation to make you happy. At these places you have to tip regardless of the service level. And the worst part is that he knows that you, a tourist, will never come back again so he does not need to worry about losing a returning customer.

You have a choice to make: do you want the simplicity of having the tip calculated for you and poor service. Or would you rather go someplace where you can reward the waiter based on service? It is a personal choice, but local people in Prague do not regret the 1989 revolution that ousted the communists.

Am I Being Helpful?

I hope you find this website helpful. I created the website because I love Prague, I enjoy writing about it, and I get a weird kick out of helping you make your trip to Prague more enjoyable.

I wrote a book about local travel in Prague. The book is my pride, my joy, my unbiological offspring. It was written with a passionate heart. If you find this website helpful consider reading my book. You will receive an entertaining book full of useful tips that will instil in you the confidence to wander the local streets of Prague. The book is also included in the popular Prague Local Explore Kit Bag.

PWTE Daily Devotion

Jesus at the Center

March 23, 2017

Jesus Christ as Lord!

You can listen to today’s devotion by clicking on this SoundCloud link.

“For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.”
2 Corinthians 4:5

After much prayer and labor, our church finally had its new reader board sign.  The only problem was, I had never been pastor in a church where I had the responsibility of deciding what would appear on our church sign.  Should I put up witty sayings, coming events, catchy sermon titles?  All of these might have their place, but after some thought, I put up this simple invitation, “Please come and worship the Lord Jesus with us!”

As I stepped back from the sign to look over what I had just put in place, something hit me.  In the very center of the sign was the word “Jesus”.  In the very center… Jesus.

It made me think.  In my preaching, in my conversation, in my everyday agenda, was Jesus in the center?  Does He have center stage in the drama of my life?  Or have my own pet agendas and concerns replaced Him at the center of my life?

What about you?  Is Jesus at the center of your life?  Lent is a great season to take an accounting of your thoughts, words, and actions.  Are your thoughts, words, and actions all centered on Jesus?

Alas, if you are like me, far too often Jesus is not at the center of my life.  For if He is at the center, then He is Lord of all that I think, say, and do.  He has the ultimate position of prominence and power.   He is Lord, for He has redeemed me by His own precious blood, although I am a lost and condemned sinner.  I owe Him my life.

Lord Jesus, I confess that I often do not live as if You were the center of my life.  Forgive me for my selfishness, sin, and rebelliousness.  Send Your Holy Spirit to produce faith in me and to conform me to Your will.  You are Lord, and I am yours.  Amen.

Revel, the $2.4 billion luxury megaresort that has struggled to attract gambling customers, took a step backward in September amid another month of declining revenue for the Atlantic City casino industry.

Altogether, the 12 casino hotels won $276 million from their slot machines and table games, a 6 percent decline compared with $294.6 million for September 2011, according to figures released Wednesday by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

On a year-over-year basis, Atlantic City gambling revenue has declined every month so far in 2012 except for August. Higher revenue in August 2012 was aided by the fact that casinos had to shut down an entire weekend in August 2011 because of Hurricane Irene.

Revel, the city’s newest casino, took in just $16.9 million in gambling revenue in September, compared with $20 million in August. Each month since its April opening, Revel has been stuck in eighth place among all casinos for gambling revenue. In April, Revel won $13.4 million from gamblers, followed by $13.9 million in May, $14.9 million in June and $17.5 million in July.

“We’re just not doing it yet,” Revel CEO Kevin DeSanctis bluntly said of the casino’s financial performance. “I just think we have to do a better job in going after gaming revenue.”

DeSanctis promised that Revel will “reconnect” with its gambling customers as it prepares to make a more aggressive push for their business into the fall and winter months. At the same time, Revel will continue to pursue the conventions and leisure customers that make up the other key parts of its business model, he added.

“Perhaps the gaming customer felt we didn’t care about them as much. At the end of the day, we think they’re all important,” DeSanctis said of Revel’s diversified customer base.

John Kempf, a casino analyst for RBC Gaming, noted that Revel generated just $12.7 million from its slot machines in September, basically flat compared with August. Kempf characterized Revel’s slot performance as a “continued area of weakness.”

Revel was also stung by an unlucky month at the table games. DeSanctis explained that a large number of gamblers did well playing the table games, pushing down the amount of winnings that Revel held for itself.

“It seems like everybody that came into Revel and played went away happy,” DeSanctis said. “Some months, you’re just going to hold more than others.”

Even a favorable calendar could not boost Revel and most of the other casinos in September. This September had five Saturdays and Sundays, compared with four Saturdays and Sundays in September 2011. Weekend days are usually prime moneymakers for the gambling industry.

Overall, every casino except for Golden Nugget Atlantic City suffered revenue declines for the month. Golden Nugget’s gambling revenue rose 8 percent, in large part because of a nearly 40 percent increase in winnings at the table games. Kempf said Golden Nugget continues to benefit from a $150 million renovation and rebranding from its former days as the Trump Marina Hotel Casino.

Even industry leader Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was not immune to September’s declining market. Borgata’s $55.3 million in winnings were far ahead of everyone else, but its revenue slipped 6 percent compared with a year ago.

Tropicana Casino and Resort, down 29 percent, and Bally’s Atlantic City, off 23 percent, were the worst performers in September. Other double-digit decliners included Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Showboat Casino Hotel and Harrah’s Resort.

Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, Caesars Atlantic City, Resorts Casino Hotel and Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort each were down single digits for September.

For the first nine months this year, the casino industry is down 5 percent overall in gambling revenue, to $2.4 billion. Slot winnings have declined 3 percent, while table games revenue is off 10 percent. The figures indicate that Atlantic City continues to be pressured by competition from casinos in surrounding states, particularly Pennsylvania.

King Crimson - Deja Vrooom CD (album) cover

2 stars I was very disappointed with this one. The set list draws heavily from the then new album Thrak. Indeed more than half the set is from that album! There are some good songs on that album for sure. Dinosaur, One Time and Walking On Air are all very fine songs, performed flawlessly here. But these three would have been enough to represent the Thrak album.

There are also too many songs from the bands 80's albums. Elephant Talk is a horrible song that sounds very much like a Talking Heads number (and for me that is not a good thing at all). The new songs People and Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream both have the same type of annoying "talking" vocals.

The 70's are represented here by the respective title tracks from the Red and Lark's Tongues In Aspic albums, as well as Talking Drum also from the latter album. All three are instrumentals and only Red is a good choice.

I fully understand that King Crimson wanted to move on and play newer things. I am not saying that they should never have changed a thing since their early days. But since they wanted some songs to represent their past I definitely would have picked different ones. In my opinion King Crimson has made only one really good album and that is, of course, In The Court Of The Crimson King from 1969. Zero songs from that classic album are played here! Zero! And from the 70's they could have picked some better songs as well like Starless, for example.

Well, maybe it is unfair to judge this DVD from what, in my opinion, should have been here instead of focusing on what actually is here. So let us move on to that.

There are six people on stage; two guitarists, two bass players and two drummers. This must be one of the weirdest line ups ever. This also means that there are no keyboards, no flutes and no saxes or anything. However, Adrian Belew plays some keyboard sounds on his guitar - how weird is that!? This format does nothing for me. I would have preferred a more "traditional" line up with a keyboard player and perhaps a flautist.

Another weird thing is that Robert Fripp sits down at the back of the stage for the whole show. On a couple of songs he stands up, but he never moves to the front of the stage until it is time for them to walk of stage! He has absolutely no interaction between him and the audience.

The show starts with an improvisation leading into an instrumental track from the Thrak album that also sounds a bit improvisational. There is a lot of that stuff on this DVD. Many passages are very dissonant and atonal. I don't hate that kind of stuff, but I can only handle it in very small quantities. There is simply too much of it here.

Frame By Frame, a not too interesting but bearable cut from the 80's, follows and after that there is a very strong part of the show with three very good songs in a row; Dinosaur, One Time and Red. At this point I feel like this is going to be a great show after all. However, this feeling is quickly ruined by yet another improvisational type part of the show with some experimental instrumental stuff from Thrak again.

The show does not get back on its feet again until the very last number, the beautiful Walking On Air; a good song but a bit odd as a closing number.

On the technical side of things I must add that I think it is extremely annoying that between every song the screen fades to black and it becomes quiet for a second or so before the next song begins. This gives the whole concert a very disjointed feel.

To sum things up: There should have been much less improvisation, much less dissonance and atonal experimentation, much more songs from the 60's and 70's, there should have been a proper keyboard player and perhaps a flautist/sax player instead of having two drummers and two bassists. Also, Fripp should come out of the shadows and interact with the audience. And finally, there should not be fadeouts between the songs.

My conclusion is that this DVD is only for fans and collectors of 80's and 90's King Crimson.

If you are a fan of early King Crimson or just a fan of classic progressive rock in general, I recommend that you get Steve Hackett's excellent Tokyo Tapes DVD (featuring original Crimson member Ian McDonald), John Wetton's great Amorata DVD and Greg Lake's Live DVD. Here you will get excellent live versions of 21th Schizoid Man, In The Court Of The Crimson King, I Talk To The Wind, Starless and some other Crimson classics. Plus classic songs by Genesis, ELP and UK.

PETERSBURG — The Petersburg Garden Club held its annual Historic Garden Day Tour on Tuesday with six homes that were opened for viewing in the Petersburg and Chesterfield areas.

Kay Wray, President of the Petersburg Garden Club said that every year during the last full week in April, garden tours take place all over the state of Virginia.

“Each garden club that’s a member of the Garden Club of Virginia is asked to participate in these tours,” Wray said. “The majority do it every year and some do it every other year depending on the size of the club. Profits from the tour go towards the restoration of the gardens that are under the umbrella of the Garden Club of Virginia.”

The Garden Club of Virginia consists of 48 clubs and Garden Week is one of their projects that consists of restoring historical gardens, gates and walkways. The Petersburg Garden Club started doing their Historic Garden Day Tours around 1941.

Sandy Graham, owner of the McIlwaine House, said that he opened his historic home to visitors for the tours because he wanted people to see how wonderful Petersburg really is.

“I want to show people that it can be done and encourage people to do it so that more of these houses can get conserved,” Graham said.

The McIlwaine House was built in 1794 by Erasmus Gill and was later owned by George H. Jones who was the mayor of Petersburg from 1815 to 1816. Petersburg financier Archibald Graham McIlwaine then owned the house from 1831 to 1878. The house was eventually relocated in 1971 after having to move due to the expansion of Market Street with the threat of the Virginia Department of Transportation attempting to condemn the house. Citizens caused a ruckus over the possibility of the McIlwaine House being torn down, causing the relocation of the house.

Among the various flower arrangements in the McIlwaine House were 18th century pieces of furniture made of various types of wood. The “Petersburg Room”, as it was called, featured wood carved tobacco leaves as detailing on the windows. The “yellow room” had a pinpoint carpet and furniture made with various types of mahogany. There was also a wine bar in the basement of the house that donned old furniture and paintings.

Another stop on the tour, the Strachan-Harrison House, featured a kitchen that still had the original gas stove top. The stove was fully-functional and is still used today. There was also a copper sink and updated features. Outside there was a pool with a fountain and a small area where sheep and a donkey remained.

Dana Ballenger, owner of the Strachan-Harrison House, did all of the landscaping herself. She said that she said the garden tour offered a great turnout and that it was refreshing that so many people can see how beautiful Petersburg really is.

“I’m a small, little piece of Petersburg,” Ballenger said. “I love the fact that people come down here and say ‘oh my gosh, I didn’t know beautiful things like this existed.’ It’s all throughout Petersburg. All the good stuff.”

The house was built in 1760 by Halcott Pride and was then bequeathed to his daughter, Mrs. Alexander Strachan. It remained in the family until 1860 when it was sold to the Harrisons. The Harrisons deeded the house to Grace Church in 1936, which occupied the front yard of the home.

“I hope that everybody who comes down here to Petersburg sees the true beauty of Petersburg,” Ballenger said. “Old houses, wonderful people, a great downtown, good shops and restaurants. I hope that’s what they see.”

High tech bratt pan commercial catering equipment: FRIMA UK’s new MD joins from Rational combi steamers

Share Article

FRIMA, part of the Rational Group, has appointed Vic Brown, formerly MD of Rational UK, as managing director of its UK division. Lee Norton takes over as MD at Rational UK.

Vic Brown is moving from Rational to FRIMA

FRIMA has appointed Vic Brown as managing director for its UK division. FRIMA is part of the Rational Group and Vic Brown is currently MD of Rational UK. The high-profile move reflects the Group’s commitment to expanding operations and sales of the FRIMA VarioCooking Center in the UK and Irish markets. Vic Brown joins FRIMA on May 1st 2011.

Vic Brown brings considerable expertise and a highly successful record to his role at FRIMA. Previously he had senior management posts with several leading brands, including Nilfisk Advance, Carrier and Mitsubishi Electric, and during his seven year tenure as MD of Rational UK annual sales rose by well over 50%.
His main focus at FRIMA will be to grow sales of the VarioCooking Center. “This equipment is a really exciting advance in kitchen technology – as revolutionary in its way as the original combi steamer was,” he says. “It’s already established in mainland Europe and there is a huge opportunity here in the UK.”

The VarioCooking Center is an advanced, multi-tasking system that combines the functions of a bratt pan, kettle, tilting pan, pressure cooker and a deep-fat fryer, all in one unit. It features a sophisticated and easy to use computerised control and monitoring system and can be used for boiling, frying and deep frying. It is also three times as fast as conventional equipment and uses 40% less energy.

“The challenge is to educate the market about the benefits of a new cooking concept: it is futuristic, but the truth is it makes life simpler for chefs and their staff, it saves time, labour and costs and produces better cooking results.”

Lee Norton has been appointed as the new MD for Rational UK. He has extensive management experience with major blue chip companies and for the last six years has been sales and marketing director at Karcher UK. “Lee has a first class business mind and is exactly the right person to take Rational UK forward in the next few years,” says Vic Brown.

Rational supplies more than 50% of combi steamers in the foodservice market and Lee Norton will have overall responsibility for the brand in the UK and Ireland.

“There are big opportunities to develop new markets for the combi steamer,” he says. “There are still sectors where the benefits of the technology have not been fully embraced. For example, in food-to-go sites the SelfCooking Center offers huge advantages in terms of cooking quality and ease of use – often staff are unqualified, yet it allows them to prepare everything from pizza to Beijing duck, at the touch of a button.”

DrugNews Alerts of Study Calling for New Testing Over Januvia Pancreatic Cancer Risks

Share Article

http://www.DrugNews.net is the web’s premier source for prescription device warnings, research, side effects and legal news. Visit the DrugNews Center today.

januvia lawsuit
In February, the American Medical Association advised diabetes drugs like Januvia can double the risk of pancreatitis, a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer.

The diabetes drug safety center at DrugNews.net is advising patients taking the medications Januvia or Janumet of new information on the site. A recent study finds that occurrence rates of pancreatic cancer may be higher with drugs like Januvia and calls for new testing*

The DrugNews resource center provides the latest warnings, recalls, studies and legal news to patients taking popular prescription drugs. Visitors can see if others are experiencing similar side effects and decide if they need legal advice.

Januvia and Janumet are ingestible diabetes medications prescribed to those with type-2 diabetes to lower blood sugar levels. In recent years, they have been the best-selling drugs for pharmaceutical company Merck**.

However, the resource center has added information showing experts disagree about whether Januvia and Janumet may be linked to cancer. In 2011, researchers from UCLA discovered subjects given Januvia had increased rates of pancreatic cancer and thyroid cancer***.

In February, the American Medical Association advised diabetes drugs like Januvia can double the risk of pancreatitis, a major risk factor for pancreatic cancer****. Last month, however, the FDA advised there is insufficient evidence at present to link diabetes drugs like Januvia to cancer or change warning labels*****.

Now, DrugNews has added a study by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices which finds indications in FDA reports that patients taking drugs like Januvia have elevated risks of pancreatic cancer*. The ISMP called for new safety testing as a result.

Due to the number of patients who have already filed a Januvia lawsuit alleging cancer, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation is considering consolidation of cases to a special court. (In Re: Incretins Products Liability, Sales and Marketing Litigation, MDL 2452, United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation).

Anyone affected by cancer after taking Januvia or Janumet is encouraged to visit the DrugNews Center or speak with a lawyer about their legal options. However, due to the specialized nature of these cases, DrugNews only recommends lawyers who have already handled Januvia lawsuits.

For more information on the research, side effects and litigation news related to Januvia and other drugs, or to speak with a lawyer, visit http://www.DrugNews.net.

Mumboe Helps Growing Businesses Secure and Manage Sensitive Legal Documents: Web-Based Tools Make Document Collaboration Simple and Affordable

Share Article

Mumboe(TM) today announced the launch of its new document collaboration solution designed to help growing businesses secure, track and manage their contractual agreements. Delivered over the web as an on-demand or software as a service (SaaS) application, Mumboe is targeted at corporate consumers - including small and growing businesses, as well as enterprise departments and workgroups - that need secure, centralized access to sensitive business documents at an affordable price. Starting today, interested customers can sign up for a free Mumboe account at and begin using the product immediately, then upgrade as their business needs grow for a low monthly fee.

News Image
Mumboe offered an impressive set of document collaboration features in a simple, affordable solution we could begin using right away.

    Many businesses lack the sophisticated document management systems large enterprises employ to manage agreements with customers, partners and employees. Some store hard copies of agreements in filing cabinets or on desktops. Others use a combination of spreadsheets and email to manage agreement details. As organizations grow, this approach makes it difficult to securely share sensitive information, control document changes and revisions, and track important information such as expiration and renewal dates, agreement terms and other commitments.

"We needed a better way to manage the entire process of creating and executing a business contract," says Steven Vine, Deputy General Counsel at and a Mumboe beta customer. "Mumboe offered an impressive set of document collaboration features in a simple, affordable solution we could begin using right away."

Web-based Collaboration and Security Features

Using Mumboe, customers can upload agreements and supporting documentation into a secure online repository, share them with authorized users, track important information such as renewal dates, and quickly search for specific agreements. The product uses 256-bit encryption, password protection and offsite backup to keep customer data secure.

Key features designed to help users easily organize and share business agreements include:

-- Secure, central repository where users can upload, store and access agreements;

-- Agreement templates and authoring tools to facilitate the process of creating agreements;

-- Permission-based roles and security to give managers control over who can access and edit specific agreements;

-- Collaboration and productivity tools that let users set reminders and assign tasks;

-- Advanced search capabilities so users can quickly find specific agreements.

"Mumboe is part of a new generation of web applications being brought to market by innovative companies such as, 37 Signals and others that are challenging the notion that business software has to be complex and expensive," says William Kane, Mumboe's chief executive officer. "These applications offer the practical functionality businesses need, without the high cost and complexity of their enterprise counterparts."

In 2008, Mumboe plans to roll out additional functionality including the ability to automatically extract common fields such as effective dates, term duration and responsible parties from agreement documents and display them in the system. Other planned enhancements include further integration with Microsoft Outlook and integration with

Availability and Pricing

Starting today, Mumboe is available in four tiers designed to fit the needs of different-sized organizations, including:

Headlines: March 12th, 2010

A second round of grants to help homeowners protect their property from flooding has been announced by the Government. The 2.6 million pounds goes to almost thirty local authorities who will be responsible for delivering the Property Level Flood Protection Grant Scheme and will be able to tailor projects to the needs of their communities.

The authorities are in several areas of England, including four in Cumbria, the scene of the most recent serious flooding. The Grant Scheme is part of the Government response to Sir Michael Pitt’s review of the 2007 floods.

The second phase of grants will go to 34 projects in areas at high risk of flooding. It will allow 532 households to install practical measures such as airbrick covers, storm porches, door guards and flood boards. The first round of 3 million pounds in funding went to 25 councils to protect almost 600 homes.

Environment Minister, Huw Irranca-Davies, said there were 490,000 properties at significant risk of river or coastal flooding in England and since 2007 action had been taken on a range of fronts to prevent the heart breaking damage and destruction that could be caused by floods. “In the future we must be prepared for more extreme weather on all levels,” he said.

The Environment Agency Director of Flood and Coastal Risk Management, Robert Runcie, welcomed the latest funding and urged individuals and businesses at risk of flooding to make their property more resistant as well as to sign up to the Agency’s free flood warning service.

Caroline O’Brien, MLitt in Publishing Studies 2016-17

13509093_1424480517565979_6273719872238790256_nmOn a dark and stormy night in Glasgow two fourth year undergrad English Literature students arranged a covert meeting at the student union. As the rain beat down on the windows all was going well until one turned to the other and asked the dreaded question.

‘So, what are you planning on doing after we graduate?’

Anyway, that’s the story of how my wonderful friend, Chiara, came to tell me about the University of Stirling’s MLitt in Publishing course. As it turned out it was one of the most serendipitous moments of my life. I knew going into my English Literature course at the University of Glasgow that I wanted to somehow get into publishing, but, as is so often the case when students are faced with the looming prospect of graduation and actually having to take part in normal adult life afterwards, I had no idea of how to do it.

Therefore, doing my masters at the University of Stirling served a twofold purpose. I would gain some concrete knowledge of what a publisher actually is and what they do. (Meaning that when asked these questions I can come up with a better answer then, ‘You know, someone that says what books are good…’) And I would be able to defer the terrifying prospect of a job search one more year.

Having said that, since the first lecture in my new course my publishing dreams have proven themselves founded on a strong basis. I now cannot wait to find my own place in the publishing industry, either here in Scotland or, possibly if I’m lucky, abroad.

But enough about this course and how great it is. Now for the really interesting stuff.

I was born in England, near London, and moved to Scotland when I was nine. This has resulted in a somewhat confused but, I hope, endearing accent that has on more than one occasion been mistaken for Australian. I now hail from Lanark where I’ve lived for the past twelve years or so with my parents and my two sisters. I of course adore books, something that I have my parents to thank for since they took the time to read to me every night when I was young.

This is the reason I am most interested in Children’s publishing. If I could bring even one child the same sense of joy that I got from settling down for a bedtime story with my parents then I’d be happy.

But now I’ve started to get soppy so I’m going to leave it there. Thanks for reading and hope I didn’t bore anyone. If I did, look on the bright side. You’ve made it to the end now.

Art fraud in publishing (?)

Vincent van Gogh, self-portrait

All publicity is good publicity. What prompted me to reuse this fabulously cliché phrase is the controversy in France over a book with 65 sketches allegedly by Vincent van Gogh. Publisher Editions du Seuil claims that they are previously unknown drawings, while the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam claims they are fake. By the sound of it, it is all a lovely mess.

One can imagine that publishers are careful when taking on an art book, especially when it makes a claim of containing previously “lost” sketches and notes. Editions du Seuil is not revealing where this sketchbook came from, but they did get two art historians, and internationally recognised authorities on van Gogh, to write the foreword and text: Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov and Ronald Pickvance. Nevertheless, experts have been fooled before.

It’s hard not to think of the great Vermeer forger Han van Meegeren, who was only found out because he could not say where the Vermeer he had sold to Hermann Göring originally came from. Perhaps the best part of the story is when van Meegeren’s very first “Vermeer” got the most eminent authority on Dutch baroque art to write that it was a “masterpiece”, and a “wonderful moment in the life of a lover of art”. It is possible that Welsh-Ovcharov and Pickvance had similar revelations.

Hermann Göring’s “Vermeer”. Photo: Croes, Rob C., Fotocollectie Anefo, Nationaal Archief NL.

At the moment, according to The Bookseller, there is still uncertainty as to who is right, but customers has so far preferred to err on the side of caution. Making this the sort of publicity one should like to avoid, unless, it can be publicly proved that the sketches are authentic.

Until it all is resolved I would like to ponder the words of Theodore Rousseau: “We should all realise that we can only talk about the bad forgeries, the ones that have been detected; the good ones are still hanging on the walls.” And perhaps, standing on our bookshelves.

Vincent van Gogh: The Lost Arles Sketchbook can be bought here for $85. If you think that is too much the Book Depository has it for £35.75. Grab a bargain!

Problems with Rowley CrossWorks MSP430 v1.3

PostPosted: Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:42 am
by aek
Rowley has released CrossWorks for MSP430 v1.3, and with this new release, Salvo users should be aware of the following:

1) When opening projects in the current Salvo release (built from early CS430 v1.2), it is necessary to do the following (courtesy Paul Curtis at Rowley):

You need to set "Include Startup Code" to "Yes" in the Linker Options of the project. This is a slight incompatibility with v1.2. If you set this to "Yes", it's backward compatible with v1.2.

2) Users have reported (and I have witnessed) run-time problems with Salvo tasks that i) had switch() statements with more than 4 cases, and ii) multiple instances of sprintf(). These are due to some incompatible optimizations that are present in v1.3 (and maybe in later v1.2, but not in early v1.2). Until we have fully characterized the effect of these new optimizations, we recommend that all users set the following Code Generation Options to "None" or "No" when applied to a project's source code (*.c) files that contain Salvo tasks:

Jump Threading Optimization
Peephole Optimizaton
Register Allocation

Source code modules that do not include Salvo tasks can have all optimizations applied to them without worry.

I suspect that the problem is in Register Allocation, as Salvo does not save registers between context switches (in order to minimize RAM requirements). Once we have fully characterized this problem, we will update RM-CS430.PDF.

Tag spam

Pushkar Sane Wednesday, 8th June, 2011 Tags: , , , , Marketing No comments

OMG! It is unbelievable that now you can exactly know who reads your columns on I can already see my top readers and I’m delighted to see your client flirting with my idea. I have already tagged him and I can sense you’re jealous, but you can also check anytime you like and see whether anyone is flirting with your ideas. Click here: fli.rt. And BTW, this is real and you can get an iPad 2 for free.

Every morning I wake up to such messages in numbness, every afternoon I get angry, every evening I crib about such messages, and every night I feel helpless. I have been keenly observing the social spam issue and I find it very frustrating that things have gone from bad to worst in the last six months.

We live in a world with all sorts of people with different value systems. Social platforms are a mere extension of what happens on-ground as well. There are millions and millions of people around the globe spitting, littering, creating noise, killing innocent people, robbing weak people, and in general misbehaving in society. The only difference is that most of what they do remains local – in their neighbourhoods, cities, states, and countries, with some exceptions of cross-continent nuisance. Unfortunately, social platforms enable global connectivity at a lightning speed and gives amplification to spam, thereby making the world at large suffer.

So who is to be blamed? Where do we go from here? Can we really stop this menace? Who should stop it? How can we stop it?

I don’t think we can completely stop this menace, but we can certainly attempt to reduce it to make our own social experience better. Most people blame spammers, but in my humble opinion, ‘We the People’ and social platforms are equally responsible for causing social spamming.

I’m surrounded with super intelligent people across all my social networks but many of them are unable to control their temptations. It is human nature that we love things that are ‘Free’, ‘Sensational’, ‘Scandalous’, ‘Sexy’, etc., and spammers play exactly on these temptations. Otherwise why would a super-rich, super-successful investor banker friend (who often preaches buying things on premium) click on ‘Free iPad 2? spam or a peace loving social activist click on ‘Video of Osama’s Killing’ or a happily married couple clicking (independently) on ‘See what your EX is doing’ messages. Most people don’t realise the problem, but one simple click causes a significant amount of nuisance for their friends through spam on Facebook walls. It is very similar to a friend visiting your home with a bag full of garbage and dumping it in your living or dining room. I bet you will never invite this friend again and criticise him in front of common friends.

One can argue that these people are unaware of the social spam issue and they’re simply making a genuine mistake. I’m willing to accept such mistakes once, twice, or even five times, but I certainly can’t tolerate it day after day and week after week. It is not that hard to realise and fix. It is quite irritating that many of these people do not even have the courtesy to say sorry for the spam they spread. Personally speaking, I plan to write to all my friends spreading spam actively and request them to ‘think before clicking on tempting messages’. I also plan to create a two-pager that would educate them on the menace of spam and how to avoid it. Post that if they continue to fall in the same trap then I would simply block them from my social networks online (I would still maintain our on-ground friendship). I have arrived at this decision after suffering from many months of spam mutilating my Facebook profile page as well as the home page.

Here are the examples:
Facebook home page:

Facebook wall:

It brings me to the responsibility of social platforms to fix spam. For example, Facebook has a feature to report spam, yet the quantity of spam is increasing constantly. I’m quite keen to know what action Facebook is taking against all these spam application developers as well as people who spread spam. As an ordinary user, I have seen no improvement whatsoever in the last six months. In fact, things are going from bad to worst. I totally understand that we use Facebook (or Twitter or YouTube or any such social platform) for free and do not have ‘rights’ that a paying customer enjoys. But we certainly have the power to create a movement and hold people/platforms responsible. Every time you’re spammed, raise the flag by informing personally, announcing publicly, and blocking people unless they change. Most importantly, send a message to the concerned social network to fix it and announce it on your status messages/tweets/updates.

I’m desperately hoping that things will become better. Otherwise, social platforms in general and Facebook in particular run the risk of creating a new category of web – ASN: anti-social networks. And that would be a sad moment for the connected world.

So I hereby declare my personal WAR on SPAM.

Storage Ideas to Make Most Out of Small Space

Storage Ideas

When you are living in a small space whether it is a tight dorm room, condo, or apartment – it compels you to find a solution to a difficult organizational challenge. It is inevitable in a small space to have clutter, and it is crucial that there is a storage space to clear out the mess.

In this situation, shelves and other types of storage is a big help. Furniture pieces like shelves are not only excellent for storing your collectibles and stuff, but they can also enliven the style of your interior design. For you to make the most out of your tight space, you should have storage in place. Here are some storage ideas that you can take advantage of for your home.

Storage under the Stairs
An open space beneath the staircase will make for an ideal place to add an extra shelving unit. You can take advantage of this otherwise unusable space to store and display your collectibles such as books and porcelain dinnerware. An under-the-staircase storage is also aesthetically pleasing because it would appear like a built-in component of the house. You can paint it whatever color you like to make the room look attractive.

Stacking Shelves in the Corner
Stacking shelves is a perfect furniture piece in the living room or the kitchen. You can use every unused corner in a room by installing an upright row of shelves. This additional storage is excellent for use to display your dinnerware, cookbooks, and other knick-knacks.

Go for a Headboard with Storage
If your bed takes up a lot of space in your bedroom, just look on the bright side and think of it as a storage opportunity. There are beds that you can buy on the market today that have built-in headboard storage. A headboard with storage will make for an excellent storage space to place your magazines, books, souvenirs, and odds and ends.

Use the Narrow Nooks
Your shelves and storage space do not need to be vast expanses of vertical and horizontal space to be functional, especially for a small area like you have in your home. You can use the narrow nooks in the corner to store your stuff such as books and magazines.

Floating Shelves
If you are looking for a stylish and functional storage solution, floating shelves are a great option. Floating shelves help in freeing up floor space, and they allow natural light to come into your home, which creates an illusion of a commodious space. Many homeowners prefer a do-it-yourself project for their floating shelves, but you can find plenty of floating shelves that you can install on the wall.

Side Alcove Storage
You can use your side alcove for a shelving unit to store your books and other knick-knacks. This otherwise awkward wall space will make for a stylish feature in your living room if you just do the right makeover. You can paint it with your desired color that complements the style of the room. A five simple, horizontal shelves with the perfect array of your collections will serve as a creative and eye-catching display.

Double-Duty Furniture Pieces
You need to make use of your small space, and you can go for double-duty furniture for this purpose. A tiny living room, for example, may give you a hard time furnishing it, but well-placed bookshelves may offer both aesthetics and function. There are also furniture pieces that can double as storage. Furniture sites like Focus on Furniture offer an ottoman that has a lid that you can open to store your things.

Shelves behind the Door
You might not believe it: For how can you open a door if there are shelves behind it? But some genius interior designers do things like that. You can open the door with no hassle, and you can get a lot of storage space out of it. The door into the room doubles as a door to the shelves. You will not notice the shelves when the door is open. It is both practical and stylistic.

Storage is essential to keep your collectibles and stuff organized. For sure, you will not like to see clutter in your home, so you should have a storage space to keep your things in proper places. You can try the storage ideas mentioned above to make the most of a small space while providing both function and style to it.

The quality of the queries we have a tendency to systematically raise on a each day has associate degree improbably profound impact on our lives. In fact, wherever we have a tendency to ar in our lives at this terribly moment, is incredibly a lot of a right away reflection of the queries we\'ve routinely and unconsciously asked ourselves over time.

If you\'re not happy or consummated with one or additional areas of your life, then it may alright result from a limiting set of queries that you just are asking yourself over the past few weeks, months, years or decades that have shapes your current life circumstances.

The first key here is to acknowledge your current life quandary and determine the habitual unconscious queries that have brought you to the current purpose in your life.

The second key needs that you just develop a collection of empowering queries that you just can introduce into your life from nowadays forward.

Let’s take a more in-depth check up on the profound impact that daily habitual queries wear our lives:
Determines What we have a tendency to Gain Access to

Because our queries facilitate expand our awareness and understanding of ourselves and therefore the world around US, they conjointly effectively facilitate US gain a novel perspective concerning objects, individuals and therefore the circumstances that ar presently effort our reality. Through this angle and awareness we have a tendency to ar higher ready to pinpoint and acknowledge the opportunities and resources that we are going to got to facilitate US move forward in our lives.

All this goes to point out that if you raise the proper queries, you may gain access to those opportunities and resources. If on the opposite hand you neglect to raise a good set of queries, then you may merely fail to acknowledge the resources and opportunities that may assist you overcome the issues and challenges effort your life.

Shapes Our Ability and Potential

The habitual queries you raise yourself on a each day form your intelligence, creativity, ability to resolve issues and reach your full potential as a productive creature.

The simpler you become at asking consistent top quality queries that ar targeted on solutions and increasing potentialities, then the additional of your potential you may effectively faucet into, and therefore the bigger success you may expertise in any field of endeavor.

If you are feeling that for a few reason you\'re not living out your true potential, then it may terribly signify that you just got to alter the queries you raise yourself on a each day.

Determines Our in progress Happiness

Because the queries we have a tendency to raise ourselves will effectively alter our emotional states, it simply is smart that our in progress happiness is thus per se tangled with the habitual queries we decide to raise ourselves on a each day.

If you are not proud of any side of your life, then decide these days to remodel the queries you are persistently asking. Focus your queries on things that you just wish in your life, instead of things that bring you stress and anguish.

Determines Our Overall Success

Given everything that we have mentioned up to now, it makes good sense that the standard of queries we have a tendency to persistently raise throughout our lives determines our success in life, love, career, because the level of financial gain we presently have. It thus may be argued that the standard of our queries determines the standard of our life.
