What Are the Different Types of Breast Uplift?

There are different operation options in the breast lift procedure. The specialist physician decides which of these will be used, depending on the patient’s condition. Breast uplift types include:

1) Vertical (Lollipop) Technique

It is the most preferred technique. Because the incisions created in this method resemble a lollipop, it is also known as the lollipop technique. Incisions are formed around the brown part of the breast and then vertically up to the bottom of the breast. Areola can be made smaller, drooping tissues are removed, nipple is repositioned. There is also the possibility of using an implant in this method.

2) Reverse T (Anchor) Technique

The incisions start down from the areola and reach both sides of the chest. So in a sense, the opposite T-shape is drawn. The nipple is repositioned and the breast is reshaped. More skin is needed to use this method.

3) Pariareolar (Donut) Technique

It is a technique that leaves fewer scars and is frequently demanded by women. It is a useful method for the beasts with tubes.

Stages of Breast Uplift Surgery

1) Consultation

At this stage, you will get information about the procedure and ask your doctor about any questions you may have. So you don’t have any questions about breast lift. In addition, your doctor will check whether you comply with this procedure. Your medical history, medications you use, your weight, whether you have a baby, whether you are planning to have a baby in the near future, and similar factors are taken into account. After all these factors are evaluated, the surgeon will decide on the surgery.

2) Anesthesia

General anesthesia is generally preferred in this surgery. In some cases, local anesthesia or sedation may also be used. Your doctor will make the decision at this point.

3) Surgery

There are different techniques for breast uplift, and your doctor will decide which one to use based on your condition. Even if there is a scar in these methods, it will not be a problem since the scars will remain under bikini or bra.

First, an incision is made around the areola and then it goes vertically downwards. If necessary, a horizontal incision can be made from the lower parts of the chest. After the incisions are formed, excess tissue and skin are removed. After this stage your nipple is moved a bit further up to get a natural image. Finally, the incisions are closed and the procedure is completed. After the procedure, a tube can be inserted to discharge the liquid in the breast.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell illegally shuts down Hauula Reynolds Recycling and free speech on private property!

The Ayatollah Kirk Caldwell strikes again!

City and County crew illegally raided free speech signs on private property on October 18, 2013, for the second time.  The owners have fee title to the land; the date for eminent domain trial is not until March, 2014* but Mayor Kirk Caldwell rampages on.

The Honolulu Mayor’s crew at work.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell apparently cannot tolerate dissent.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell quickly installed this illegal sign on private property on October 21, 2013 when Reynolds Recycling was closed on Mondays.

Adjacent Lot 64 is owned by the city. The city did not install a NOTICE on their own property but instead installed the NOTICE on private property next door.

The following day, Reynolds could not open for business. This created a hardship for those without vehicles.

This gentleman was seen by Pounders Beach in Laie,  having walked from the closed Hauula Recycling. He was probably walking to the Kahuku Recycling Center which is about 6 miles north.

Due to Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s strong arm tactics, the Hauula Reynolds Recycling left after the city’s illegal NOTICE’s threat in front of its operation.

Irate residents have been calling. They say they’re getting the run-around with no return calls from the Mayor’s office.

The Star Advertiser reported that the Mayor’s spokesman said the Mayor wants to help Reynolds find another site in Hauula.

This is tall tale spin, there is no other available commercial site in Hau’ula.

Perhaps the city will allow Reynolds Recycling back onto Lot 64 that it owns. This will turn the city into a thief – stealing business from a private owners next door.

The Mayor’s status quo public media spin is in high gear:

 Jesse Broder Van Dyke, spokesman for Mayor Kirk Caldwell, said the city’s actions were legitimate.

“Since the city has control of the property, it has the responsibility to ensure it is not being used improperly,”Broder Van Dyke said. “The commercial activity that was occurring was not authorized by the city.”

 On the other hand,

“Reynolds marketing and development director Bruce Iverson said he and other company officials were “dumbfounded” when the city sent his company a letter earlier this month demanding that it vacate immediately. Reynolds has been on the property since January and had obtained all the documents necessary to operate, including at least one from the city.”

Who do you trust?

The Mayor and his spin doctors or a business trying to provide a service?

* Update: The eminent domain case is slated to be heard on July 7, 2014 with Judge Rhonda Nishimura of the First Circuit.

The History of Ecocide, a New Crime Against Humanity

Ventana al Conocimiento (Knowledge Window)  Scientific journalism

Proposed as the fifth crime against the peace and security of mankind when the International Criminal Court was to be established in The Hague in 1998, opposition from the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands led to ecocide being removed from the list of crimes judged by this court: crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes and crimes of aggression against states or territories. Despite this, initiatives such as Ecocide Project continue to fight today for massive damage to ecosystems to be considered a crime of this gravity. At a time when the disappearance of the Amazon continues unabated, already reaching the critical point of 20% of its surface, and more than five million hectares of Australia have been burned in recent months due to unusual heat waves caused by climate change, these initiatives have never been so important.

The concept of ecocide began to emerge in the final years of the Vietnam War (1955-1975), when the scars of that war were more than evident and were having a devastating effect on the territory. Attacks with Agent Orange—a powerful herbicide used as a chemical weapon by the US army—killed hundreds of thousands of people and left millions of hectares of land barren. The first time the world heard the word ecocide was at the 1972 UN Environmental Summit in Stockholm, where Olof Palme, the Swedish Prime Minister, accused the United States of ecocide for its practices in Vietnam. Representatives of other countries present, such as Indira Gandhi of India and Tang Ke of China, suggested at the time that the destruction of the ecosystem should be considered a crime against humanity.

Five years later, in 1977, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, to prevent events like the one in Vietnam from happening again. However, since then, the human population has multiplied and diversified its footprint on the planet in times of peace, leaving cruel scars: huge islands of plastic in the oceans, deforestation of tropical forests, oilfield  spills, exploitation of wild habitats… events that constantly destroy ecosystems, and in most cases go unpunished. A universal prosecution of these types of events would mean that even if a country had very tolerant environmental legislation, crimes committed in its territory could be prosecuted at the international level.

In the fight for the recognition of crimes against nature, Scottish lawyer Polly Higgins played a crucial role by leading a global campaign with the aim of having a legal tool to denounce practices that put the environment at risk. Higgins left her work to legally defend the planet, in search of the classification of ecocide as a crime, which would criminalize the destruction of the ecosystem caused by the action of states and multinationals, imposing the legal duty of care. She explained the turn she took in her life: “In 2005 I was a barrister representing a man who had suffered a serious workplace injury. There was a moment of silence while we were waiting for the judges, and I looked out the window and thought: ‘The Earth has been badly injured and harmed too, and something needs to be done about that.’ My next thought actually changed my life: ‘The Earth needs a good lawyer, too.”

Although Polly Higgins (July 4, 1968 – April 21, 2019) died in her fifties without achieving her goal, her work and effort have kept the controversy alive and more and more voices are joining the discussion. One of the latest has been that of Pope Francis, who has publicly supported the longstanding demand that ecocide be considered the fifth crime against peace in his speech at the 20th International Congress of the Criminal Law Association, held at the Vatican in 2019. Jorge Mario Bergoglio even went further, proposing that “sins against ecology” be added to the catechism.

While the debate continues, a dozen countries—Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Belarus, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam— have indeed classified ecocide as a crime within their borders. Some, such as Georgia and Armenia, have imposed prison sentences of up to fifteen years. The international community has also taken some steps. In 2018, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution entitled Towards a Global Pact for the Environment, which seeks to lay the foundations for an International Environmental Law. Ecocide Project from the University of London is also fighting for this. This project organizes conferences, courses, seminars and other activities to promote the development of international environmental law.

The first global assessment of the state of environmental law published by the UN Environment Programme in 2019 is not very positive. One of its reports highlights that most of the environmental agreements reached in the last fifty years are not being enforced. They blame this on poor coordination between government agencies, lack of access to information, corruption and poor citizen participation. Thus, deterring ecocides such as the pollution of the Niger Delta, the drought of the Paraguayan Chaco or the deforestation of Borneo and Sumatra is in everyone’s hands. In spite of the complex legal situation, the development of international legislation that sanctions crimes against the environment is getting closer. SOURCE

Where do I start? I guess the beginning is the best place. All my life I have had a strong feeling for rubber, long before I knew anything about sex, but as I grew into puberty it quickly became a sexual fetish. It has now grown to where I wear rubber all the time at home, taking it off only when going out or expecting visitors. I sleep in rubber pajamas, between rubber sheets. During the night and early morning I fill my rubber pants with my passionate release.

Even then I look for more and more sexual activity. I constantly search the web for something new that excites me. It was while looking around at various sites that I discovered one describing cute sweetie is opening up tight cunt in close range and climaxing. I had never thought of having sex with an animal, but somehow this caused a stirring in my pants. More surprising, what intrigued me the most was the stories and pictures of men having sex with male dogs.

I had then, and still have, no feeling for men, but somehow the thought of doing it with dogs brought my blood to a boil.

I would go to bed at night in my rubber and fantasize about male dogs while I brought my passion to release, I found a site that sold dildos that resemble dogs penises in various sizes with knots that inflate.

In excited anticipation, I ordered a medium sized one and waited impatiently for the day that it was to arrive. It was only a matter of days, but it seemed to take forever. Finally the package was delivered.

I took itrushed inside, locking the door behind me, and hurriedly opened it. I was trembling with anticipation as I rushed into the bedroom, stripped, and got into my rubber bed clothes, I tore open the package, pulled out the dildo with attached inflation bulb, threw the wrappings in the corner and dove between my rubber sheets, I hugged my rubber pillow close, and as I humped against it, slid the dogs dildo between my lips. I was thoroughly aroused and eager to proceed.

Bracing the end of the dildo against the pillow, I lowered my rich lady sex service boy in rest housr over it and started bobbing my head up and down, taking in more of it on each stroke, until I got it down my throat and past my gag point. The deflated knot was in my mouth.

I reached for the bulb, giving it several hard squeezes, until it filled my mouth to the point where it was big enough that it could not come out. I loved it.

I was so hot that after only a few humps against my pillow, I blew one of the biggest loads of my life into my rubber pants. I went to bed every night and repeated the action, loving it more and more and more as I became accustomed to it.

But, after several weeks of enjoyment, I started to want more. I had read the stories and seen the pictures of men mating with their dogs, and I was ready to move forward. I decided it was time to try the dildo in my rear end.

That night, before I slipped into my rubber night clothes, I lubricated my ass thoroughly, around the outside and as deep as my fingers would reach. Then I placed the tip of the penis at my hole and nervously started to push. I did not know if it was going to hurt, or even be possible. It slowly started to enter me and so far it felt good. I pushed on it more and slid it in up to the knot. I was still nervous. I had never had anything in my ass before, but decided that I wanted to get it all in.

If it hurt, I could always take it out. Slowly I slid the knot into me. As it got past the largest part of the knot, my ass muscles convulsed and pulled it all the way in. Oh, yes I wanted it all! I squeezed on the inflation bulb and the knot started to swell, pressing against my prostrate. I almost came right then, but held back. With the partially swollen knot, I knew that it would not come out, so I took the time to make up my bed with the rubber sheets.

All the time I was moving around the dildo was moving and rubbing inside me. My ass muscles took on a life of their own as they convulsed and spasmed, pulling the cock in and out. I was truly getting fucked, and loving it. Hurriedly I pulled on a tight pair of rubber briefs with an attached sheath for my cock, and then got into my rubber pajamas. Sliding between my rubber sheets, I grabbed my pillow and stared humping. I loved it!

I only wished that I had a second dildo to suck on. I knew that as soon as I finished my solo orgy, I would order another. I humped on one rubber pillow and held another close, burying my face in it and kissing it as I made passionate love to my rubber and thrilled with the dildo in my ass moving in and out as I humped.

I was in heaven as I filled the sheath with my cum. I was exhausted, and, even though I was still shaking with pleasure, I fell asleep, wrapped in rubber and the dildo still in me. I woke an hour later with a full erection and repeated my previous humping and spurted another load into the sheath.

It was just about full so I got up and removed my rubber pajama bottoms. I was still woman exchanged her panties for a quick sex and cash brunette reality an erotic high as I carefully removed the sheath pants and wondered what my cum would taste like. I pulled the sheath to my mouth and sucked hard, pulling the two loads of cum into my mouth.

I savored it for a minute before swallowing it all. After cleaning up, I sat down at my computer and ordered a second doggie dildo. I continued my previous activities every night while waiting for its delivery. Finally it arrived and I could not wait.

Again I locked the door and rushed to the bed room, tearing open the package as I went. It was the same as the first one but darker in color. Good. I could distinguish between the anal and oral ones. Nothing would do, but to get into my rubber and fuck myself silly. I lubed up, inserted the anal doggie dildo, donned my rubber sheath pants and pajamas, and slid into my rubber bed, humped my pillow and inflated the knot in my ass, pressing it against my prostrate and holding it in place. Then I slipped the tip of the new dildo between my lips, and slowly sucked it into my mouth.

I was in heaven, with doggie dildoes in both ends and wrapped totally in rubber. I sucked, humped and squirmed in rubber ecstasy as I unloaded my sperm into my sheath. I knew I would repeat this many times to come. Obviously, my thoughts turned to getting a real dog, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I did not want busty senorita bridgette rides a thick schlong big tits latina undertake the daily feeding, walking, picking up, licensing, trips to the vet, and all the other responsibilities that go along with owning a pet.

I was well satisfied with my two dildoes and rubber bed, and decided to live with that. For several months I derived great pleasure from my rubber and my doggie dildoes and was content with my active sex life. But that was about to change. One morning, as I went out to get my morning paper, I noticed a dog running loose in the street, I called it over to see if it had any identification. Of course, I immediately noticed he was male and appeared to be a mix between a shepherd and something else, perhaps a boxer, I quickly discovered that he was not neutered.

I could feel the stirrings between my legs. But no, I was obligated to find the owner. He had a collar and was well fed, so he obviously was cared suckee fuckee session with an asian stunner and belonged to someone.

There were no identifying tags, and so I notified the local humane society and placed an ad in the newspaper, in case anyone inquired. I waited a week and received no response. By this time I was in total desire for this dog, and he seemed to enjoy my caressing, even of his sheath. After the week was up I took him to the vet to be sure he was in good health and that he had all his proper shots.

The vet declared him in good health, and, of course, suggested that he be neutered. I avoided this by asking for an estimate of his age. When the vet declared him to be about four years old, I said that this seemed to be too late in his life to think of that, paid my bill and quickly left. On the drive home I was shaking in anticipation of what we might do. I couldn't wait. As soon as we entered the house, I locked the door and rushed to get undressed, insert a dildo in my rear and pull on my rubber clothing.

I lay on the floor and called him over to me. He lay down with his back to me and I reached around and started to rub his belly. He obviously enjoyed it because he rolled onto his back as I kept rubbing him. I gradually worked my way down to his sheath and gently touched it to see his reaction.

He seemed to have no objection so I held him in my hand and softly rubbed it up and down, massaging the cock that I could feel inside.

My insides were shaking with the thoughts of what I was about to do and my ass tightened on the dildo and pulled it deeper. I glanced down and saw the tip of his cock starting to slide out of his sheath.

I leaned over and kissed it. Again, he didn't object and his cock was now out a couple if inches. I took it in my mouth and sucked softly as I ran my tongue around it. I was getting more excited every second and my rubber pants were slippery with pre-cum. I don't know how long he was now but he extended past my gag point and I swallowed hard as I lashed him with my tongue. His hips started to move and I knew he wanted to fuck my mouth, so I pulled off of him and receive a look like "Why did you stop".

I took the pillows from the sofa, lay on my back and propped my head up an a good angle. I called him over and got him to straddle my head with his beautiful cock against my lips. I opened my mouth and he needed no further encouragement, He thrust his slippery cock into my mouth and down my throat in one quick push. He started humping, fucking my mouth and throat. I loved it. I took hold of his knot with one hand to keep it from entering my mouth, while I bounced on the dildo in my ass and massaged my own cock through my rubber pants.

I was in heaven. Every sexual nerve in my body was being activated. Suddenly he stopped pumping and I knew what was about to happen. I gently squeezed his knot and pulled my head back so that I could taste his full load before swallowing it, instead of having it go straight down my throat. I wasn't disappointed. His first shot filled my mouth and I swallowed hard to keep from losing any of it.

I had hardly finished swallowing before his second load emptied into me eager mouth. I couldn't keep odia xxx bulu pichar story, and it overflowed on to my face so I rubbed all over my face and just as his third load was about to erupt, I pulled back and took it full in my face. As the dog (and I do have to find a name for him) left to clean himself up, I took as much of his cum as I could, off my face, pulled open the neck of my rubber shirt and smeared the dog cum on my chest.

By this time I was so hot I pumped myself to completion. My shirt was now slippery with dog cum and my pants the same with mine. I got up off the floor and retired to my rubber sheeted bed. I was delighted to slide around in my slippery cum filled rubber, felt the dildo filling my ass, and quickly released another load.

The feeling of the slick rubber caressing my body and the idea if being covered in cum was thrilling. But I was exhausted and fell happily to sleep. I woke several hours later to find the dog on the bed beside me.

I reached around, rubbed his belly and then his sheath. As his pink tip started to poke out of his sheath, I leaned over and gently sucked on him until a couple of inches were showing. I knew the moment had come to try something new, but I did not want his claws to tear my rubber. I got out of bed and spread an old blanket on the floor to protect it from my cum covered body, took off my rubber clothing and knelt on the blanket. My body reeked of sex and he was beside me, whining in anticipation, My anus was slippery with the nights cum and he needed little encouragement to mount me.

I was shaking in nervous anticipation. I had never been penetrated by anything so big, and I knew that his knot was bigger that my dildo.

Could I take it? Would it hurt? In a moment I found out. After a few quick pokes, he found his mark. He slid in easily and I felt wonderful. He was hot and slippery, and much better that the dildo. His humping increased in speed, and with each thrust he slid in another inch or two, until his still loose knot slid in and I could feel his balls bumping against mine. I could feel his knot sliding in and out with each thrust, getting larger each time.

Finally it would no longer come out and we were fully knotted. I was in a total state of sexual bliss. I was full of his beautiful cock, and his now swollen knot was pressing on my insides, forcing cum to ooze from my now hard cock.

I caught it lonely milf is looking for a cock my hand and brought it to my mouth, savoring the wonderful taste. I could not reach my oral dildo. It would have better than nothing, but I knew what I wanted was a real dog's cock. Another dog?? I don't know if I can handle that. Double vet bills, double food bill, double poop scooping?? I knew my sexual urges were getting the best of my judgment, but I wanted to do it.

Where to get a dog? The humane Societies all neuter the animals before letting them be adopted. A breeder? Getting a puppy would take a year to raise and train before I could have sex with him.

Certainly another stray was not likely to wander by looking for sex. I have finally named the dog. I have called him "Robber" because he likes to steal my shoes, shirt, tools etc. I had really wanted to call him "Rubberfuck" but didn't think that would sound too good when I called him in from outside.

He liked to steal my shoes, socks, othe articles of clothing, and run from me The thievery seemed to be his way of getting my attention, as if the sex is not enough.

I think what he is really saying is, "Come suck my cock.". I got him a set of booties so that I could enjoy my rubber at the same time, without his nails ripping it up. I continued this way and gave up the thought of getting another dog.

I satisfied my self with the dog, my rubber and a dildo for whichever end was not otherwise occupied. My insides and my rubber clothes were constantly filled with cum from one end to the other.

Caught jerking by neighbor in window and balcony

Life was wonderful. Robber quickly learned that sex was only when I was dressed in rubber, on rubber sheets, and I put on his booties. That way there was no problems when I had visitors. Every night we retired to my rubber bed. I would caress his sheath until his cock started to show, then suck on it until it got big.

I loved the feel of it my mouth but by that time I was hard and ready for more. The rubber caressed my cock as I got up onto my hands and knees, mom and son six stroi my face in my rubber pillow and pulled down the rear of my rubber pants. He would be on me in an instant, sliding his big slippery cock between my cheeks and into my ass. I loved the feeling as he slid into me. And then the knot. Oh my, it was good.

He would pump it in and out of my eager ass until it inflated enough that it would not come out. The feeling as it pushed and pulled against my sphincter was magnificent. Then when he stopped fucking and unloaded his cum into my guts, it pushed me over the edge, and I filled my rubber pants with my own cum. I lived in a heaven of sexual pleasure, but yet something was missing. I knew what it was. I wanted a real live dog cock in both ends.

I still wanted another dog After several months the opportunity came.

Milf sara jay putting her huge tits to good use tittyfuck hardcore

One of my neighbors owned an uncut male dog which I knew was a purebred Lab with good papers from the AKC. He had been making a side income letting him out for stud service.

He called me one day and wondered if he could ask for a favor.

His company was sending him to manage their European operation and he could not take the dog with him. He asked if he could transfer ownership to me.

My excitement was instant, but I played reluctant and let him argue me into it. It was a couple of weeks before he would bring the dog over so I had time to get ready. I ordered another set of booties and then decided how I would approach the new arrangement. I knew that with two males in the same house there could be a case of who is the alpha male The morning of his arrival I made sure that Robber had been fully satisfied, hoping that would ease any aggressive tendencies that he might have.

When the doorbell rang, I had him on a short leash, and opened the door. I greeted my neighbor and then looked down at his dog. What a beautiful animal. I could see that his sheath was good sized with healthy looking balls. I contained my excitement and slowly eased Robber forward. As they slowly checked each other out. I asked his name. he said it was Roger.

"Oh that's good." I said, laughing, "Robber and Roger," that goes good together." He said since they seemed to get along together, he would be on his way, as he had a plane to catch. I couldn't wait to find out if my ideas for this dog were going to be successful. I let them out into the yard while I got ready. I stripped and put on my rubber clothes and spread a rubber sheet on the floor, and thoroughly lubricated my ass. Older amateur kim brosley sucks amp bounces on his hard dick called them in and put Robber's booties on him.

Roger watched curiously. I put on his booties. He seemed puzzled but didn't object. I lay on the rubber sheet and called Roger to me and told him to lie down. He had been well trained and did so. I pulled him close to me and started to rub his belly. He obviously enjoyed that so I moved slowly to his sheath.

He jumped a little but did not pull away, so I continued to rub him, and as I had done with Robber, when his cock was a couple of inches out of his sheath I leaned over and sucked him into my mouth. Since he had been used as a stud, he knew what fucking was all about, and started to fuck my mouth, getting bigger with each stroke. I was getting harder by the second.

I knew this was going to be a success. I rolled him a bit so that I could get up on my knees and pull down my rubber pants, which were now slippery with pre-cum. Robber knew the routine and quickly mounted me. He slid easily sweethearts big and yummy juggs pornstar and hardcore my lubricated ass hole and started fucking hard and fast and quickly knotted with me.

Wow, I had finally made it! A long hard juicy dog cock deep in each end while covered in rubber. The pleasure was intense. I was in another world.

All I knew was the most fantastic pleasure I had ever imagined. I happily sucked and fucked my two dogs.

Bisexual teen orgy spoiled kharlie stone gets her way

I wanted this to go on forever, but knew that they would soon finish. I could sense that Robber was about to fill my ass with his cum so I sucked even more eagerly on Roger, hoping to get them both off at the same time. All the while I was leaking a huge amount of pre-cum from my fully erect cock. Suddenly both dogs stopped pumping. I knew what was coming and pulled back a bit from Roger so that I could taste his cum before swallowing it all.

I could hold back no longer, I filled my rubber pants with my cum, and, after Robber had shrunk enough to remove his knot, I pulled them up and rubbed my cum all over the inside.

I was full of dog cum and my pants were filled with my own. I have never before known such pleasure, or so much satisfaction. I was exhausted.

While the dogs went off to clean themselves, I retired beautiful teen gangbang the suspended step sis my rubber bed for a much needed rest. I was just dozing off when I felt them both on the bed with me, Robber was used to sleeping in rubber with me, but I wondered about Roger.

He sniffed around a bit, unaccustomed to the odor of rubber, but finally settled down. All three of us slept wll, and I woke to find that I was holding then each by the sheath. I started to stroke them and soon all three of us were again aroused. I wanted to see how Roger fucked so I rolled Robber on his back to give him a good suck, while I got on my knees for Roger.

Being a trained stud, he knew exactly what to do. He was bigger than Robber but easily slid into my eager ass. Oh my, he felt good and I was soon in a state of complete bliss as his knot slid in and out of me and finally locked in. He was longer than Robber and his knot bigger. I loved it. It was not long before we all unloaded our cum.

I sucked hungrily and tightened my ass against Rogers knot as he filled me with what seemed like a gallon of cum. At the same time I was happily swallowing Robber's. Needless to say this again took me over the edge and I filled my pants with another loat' We have now lived like this for a little over two months, and it has become a regular routine. When I get home from work, they are ready with their tips already showing.

They know what to expect. I immediately put on their booties and my rubber. When I dive between the rubber sheets they are already waiting for me and we have a wonderful suck/fuck/cum session before dinner time. They both like being sucked bigass babe ass banged after sucking cock amateur anal best, (I guess I am good with my throat and tongue), so I alternate for each session After dinner I sit on the sofa watching TV with a dog cuddled up on each side of me with as I scratch their bellies.

We are a contented family.

At bed time we are back to the booties and rubber for another wild sex session before going to sleep. In the morning We awake early enough that we can have sex again, before cleaning up and getting dressed for work I have my rubber and my canine lovers. I have dog cocks squirting in both ends at least three times a day, more on weekends, and am constantly full of canine cum It is a happy, sex filled life.

The Bookish Q+A Tag!

The Bookish Q&A Tag by Deborah Kealty from Paperfury Cait Paper Fury cover to cover book blog C2C Book Blog blogger reader books reading kat snark katey Kruback The Book Habits and Currently Reading Tag Book Tag

Hello readers!

Happy Easter to everyone! And also a very happy birthday my boys Fred and George Weasley – you can send me a toilet seat ANY time :)

All Harry Potter nostalgia aside, I noticed this fun questionnaire first on Cait @ Paper Fury’s blog (definitely check her out, she is freaking hysterical on all things) and thought I’d give it a try. My thanks to Deborah Kealty, the author of this fun tag! I haven’t had the opportunity to read any of her content yet, but her profile photo is a tiger, and that right there says all I need to know – so check her out, too!

Also, I have to send my congratulations out to Cait @ pagewithaview who posted a stunning photo of her ACOFAS book on bookstagram – she got everyone going that didn’t read the #AprilFools hashtag. She clearly won the day.

1. What books do you remember reading that kick-started your bookworm habit?

I wouldn’t imagine my answer is much different than others my age – the Harry Potter books, of course, is what truly got my “habit” started. I didn’t learn to read, I mean really read, until about halfway through the second grade or so. I knew the simple words, “I,” “Am,” “Can,” “Hi” and “The,” but it was pretty basic. I’ve always been a voracious learner when it’s something that I truly care about and take an interest in, which is why I aced all my History and English classes, and math could have fucked itself into a hole for all I cared. It was the summer into third or fourth grade where I started really taking an interest.

What can I say? The library reading program really got my competitive streak motivated. By the next summer, I read The Lightning Thief aloud to my brother, at his request, during the drive to Virginia. If only I could pull a 360 like that with geometry, i.e. the worst year of my life.

While The Lightning Thief and the public library system got me started, it wasn’t until my mom gave me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that I really fell in love with reading overall. It’s one of the moments of my childhood that I remember most clearly: it was a Friday night during the transition from summer to fall, and we were having a fire outside in our portable fire pit. I remember distinctly that I was sitting on the stoop by the back door to our house that night when my mom gave me the tattered copy (which has grown significantly more so in the ensuing years) and I read the first line and fell, hard. After Harry Potter, there was no stopping me. I went after all of Rick Riordan’s other books and tossed my Junie B. Jones to the side forever.

2. What genre, or genres, would you normally choose?

Ah, this sounds like the perfect opportunity for a list! I do love me a good list.

  • HIGH FANTASY – this is always a must. Something action-packed, glittering, and glorious, something that will grab me by the throat and shove my nose through the pages until I fall through. High Fantasy, honestly any fantasy in general, is a favorite of mine because it’s something you can truly get lost in for a while.
  • CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE – conversely, I also love me some soft and sweet romance. Or dark, I like it dark, too. Something that will have me melting, grinning and kicking in adorableness, or something with enough angst that I have to grab a tissue box or put on some boxing gloves to get all the feels out. BOY do I love me some feels.
  • PARANORMAL / URBAN FANTASY – now this is the shit that gets me in trouble. I’ll be the first to admit, magic gets me going. Magic + hotties with lethal dark sides or shifty secrets that could kill are just too irresistible. And if they’re waging a shadow war against a villainous somebody whence sacrifices must be made … just hand it over right now and stop giving me that look.
  • FAIRYTALE RETELLINGS – Typically a little less bloodthirsty (HAHA yeah that was a funny joke, wasn’t it Grimm Brothers), but just as fun! I watched all the Cinderella movie remakes as a young tot and the Beauty and the Beast remakes and I adore it all. Of course, books wouldn’t any different! They may be classics, a little cliché, and smidge overdone, but I adore them all the same.
  • EROTIC ROMANCE – I’m done for some steam between the sheets. Smexy romances are always a plus and cautioned against for public consumption, specifically in public. Let’s be honest, reading smutty deliciousness from junior high up has done me no favors in the lowering-the-standards department for a hottie of my own.

3. Do you eat while you read and if yes, what exactly?

Let’s be real. If I didn’t eat while I read, I would have starved a long time ago. While I am exceptionally careful about ABSOLUTELY NOT getting crumbs in my book (GGGGGGRRRRRR die crumbs die!!!), it’s not often a problem. I mean, I’m not exactly crunching on crackers with my face pressed to the words. The book is usually propped behind the food. See, the book doesn’t go imminently underneath of you, that’s where the spaghetti goes!  <<——- Useful life tips, Sherlock.

Do we have a device invented yet where I can say “flip” and the book nicely flips to the next page so I don’t have to maybe try to use my nose and have the whole book tragically flop onto the table in a pit of despair? that would be useful. I am often relegated to my nose because these hands get cold and wish to stay under the blanket with my toes, thank you.

4. Are there any scenes from your favorite novels that you remember vividly?

Oooooh, look at that! Another wonderful opportunity to make a super fun list! Hooray! Also! A chance to move and walk over to my bookshelf and peek at books! Because my foot is super asleep and yowzers ow!

  • THE DREAM THIEVESOrla’s extraordinarily orange bikini and the boys being like O_o
  • HARRY POTTERJust basically every delicious feast they ever had over the course of seven books and me wanting food that doesn’t actually exist
  • QUEEN OF SHADOWSThat moment where Aelin reverts to Celaena behavior in front of Rowan and Aedion when she strolls into Arobynn’s House to claim her fortune as a fire-breathing bitch queen of awesomeness
  • A COURT OF MIST AND FURYOr just “ACOMAF” for you sweet cinnamon kids that have been seeing the acronym used around and are wondering what the hell that is. The moment where Feyre just completely loses her shit and tries to Winnow in Tamlin’s house. OMG hits me right in the feels every. damn. time. holy hell
  • SIX OF CROWSBasically everything Kaz Brekker did *worship status*
  • WILD MANWhen he throws the chair during her interrogation <3 <3 <3 <3
  • ELIZA AND HER MONSTERSWhen she essentially loses her shit when she’s outed and for me being around her trauma just makes me completely lose my shit with her <3 Sisterhood

… other vaguely spoiler-y things that I will keep hidden for the rest of you fools that haven’t gotten your paws on these treasures

5. Were there any least favorites?

I’m a little confused about what this question is asking. Were there any least favorite books? hi Unwritten. Or least favorite scenes in general? Or least favorite scenes in favorite books? What doth you be asking here, ma’am?

I will tell you that I get super involved in any book I’m reading. That movie in your mind thing people talk about? Yeah, pretty much. I get super emotional with any media – if the character is crying, I’m probably bawling my eyes out. I laugh and cry and smile and experience anything along with the character. So if I’m rereading something particularly intense, I’ll probably have this pit of dread and excruciating terror in the pit of my stomach of anxiety if something is coming up. So with that vaguely answered question …

6. So, as you’re a bookworm, what are you reading currently today?

I am a bookworm! Hello, and welcome to my book blog. I hope you’re happy this day.

I actually just finished The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black for a reread late last night and am reading The Catcher in the Rye for school, which hardly counts. Now if it was “A Catcher in the Rhys”… I’d be all over that like words on a page.

7. How’s it getting along for you?

Good. I first read The Darkest Part of the Forest in a buddy read back in 2015, which I know for sure because I kept finding post-its stuck to random chapters saying “Discuss with Aliya on Sunday” and such. I remember really liking it then and I really liked it again this time.

Holly Black has such a haunting writing style. With both The Darkest Part of the Forest and another book of hers I’ve read, The Coldest Girl in Coldtownyou get the feeling that some kind of goblin or creature of the forest is breathing on your neck, reading over your shoulder with you. It’s not that she writes straight-up horror, far from it, it’s just so … haunting and edgy. I can’t describe it.

I can tell you that if you like Holly Black’s writing, you’ll find a similar match in Rosamund Hodge’s book (and vice versa). They both have that forestry-magic-edgy-haunt thing going on that’s so compelling.

And no I haven’t read Cruel Prince yet!! I’m sorry *hides*

8. Do you have a large bookshelf, or do you plan to get one?

Ah, my favorite subject to bring up around my parents. I have this baker rack thing in my room that I absolutely despise but that is quite big. It may reach the ceiling, but it does so with only five shelves, which leaves extraordinarily large gaps between the next shelf and the top of the book. So I have books stacked on top of the rows, of course, but still. Ick.

Did I mention the worst part? It’s a wicker. Which looks kind of nice, I guess, but it completely ruins the bottom of a book. Pulling a hardback out across a wicker surface just ruins the dust jacket X( Plus it’s brown and black, which works fine for my furniture but makes for dark and ugly #shelfie photos. Which is why you won’t find any \_O_/

I then have books stacked on top of my dresser, atop my headboard (which is kind of a one-shelf bookshelf with a flat surface on top that I also use as a shelf) and then I have a this like 3.5 feet tall tiny bookshelf of three shelves that houses my contemporary romances books. Then I have a tiny filing cabinet with two drawers that I stack books on top of. Then there’s my desk that has two shelves behind a cabinet that I use to stack books, as well. With a room as small as mine and no real bookshelf to show for the 500 + books housed in my room, one has to get extraordinarily creative. And I didn’t even mention the bedside table :)

9. Do you have a liking to indie or traditional books?

Honey, I just like books. Traditionally published authors are definitely some of my favorites and tend to be more popular, but that doesn’t mean I discount or don’t like indie books. I get a lot of indie ARCs and they’re usually pretty good (partially because I’m very very picky about my books).

I definitely don’t seek out indie vs. traditional books. I look for books people are talking about, that are recommended to me, or that look interesting on Goodreads.

10. And lastly, do you plan to promote reading in some way, or already are?

Hello, my name is Kat. Welcome to my book blog, where I work with authors, publishing houses and myself to recommend books to people who love them and am part of a community that frequently discusses books and passes along recommendations. Interested? Cool. Stay Tuned or head over to Bookstagram.

Not to mention I just bought the Enchanted Book Box’s Restore Me Book Subscription Box, which I swore I would avoid the temptation and not do, but I just did. If that’s not promoting reading, I don’t know what is.

What are you currently reading? Do you have any recommendations for books featuring twins (other than Fangirl and the Wonderful Weasleys)? What stands out most vividly from your favorite reads? What are some of your bookish preferences? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear from you!

How Can I Get Involved?

Connecting to Ministry at Central

There are many ways to get involved in the ministry and life of Central Presbyterian Church–and we encourage you to do so as you feel called! Our community is enriched by your presence and your gifts.

Our leadership has identified four core areas of ministry to help organize and all of our work together. The areas, which we call “pods,” might help you identify a broad area of ministry where you might want to jump in and offer your time and talents, or simply get connected to others around shared passion or who gather for a particular purpose. Within each pod there are many specific programs, groups, and events. You can be involved in one event in a small way, or be a leader on committee with larger scope. It’s up to you how much time you are willing and able to invest, and where God is nudging you as you invest in your own faith journey and in the life of our congregation. The four pods are:

Celebrating the Story: Emphasizes the areas of Worship, Faith Formation and Education, and Fellowship. This pod covers most of the programmatic aspects of our ministry. Get involved in a small group, join us for a fellowship event, attend a class, host a Sunday of Cafe Central, volunteer in the nursery, help prepare communion, sing or play an instrument in worship, teach a Grand Central Stations class, help organize the Chili Cook-off, or the fall picnic… if any of these sound like fun or if you want to deepen your learning about faith, this is the pod for you.

Supporting the Story: Focuses on the internal operations of the church and congregation, and covers the Personnel and Finance Committees as well as the Trustees. If you get energized by thinking about numbers and structure, care about maintaining our facility, want to support our staff, and want to be a good steward of our resources you will find a home in “Supporting the Story.”

Sharing the Story: Helps communicate the mission and ministry of Central. It encompasses the Communications and Stewardship Committees. If you want to help share the ways Central is living God’s call, and get others engaged in participating in that work, you belong here! It’s also a great place if you want to share you gifts and skills in areas of website and social media, print publication, photography, marketing and more.

Practicing the Story: While all the pods are about living out our faith, Practicing the Story, does this in very hands-on and tangible ways. The mission committee and the Deacons make up this pod. Want to participate in hurricane relief work? Support a mission co-worker in Mexico? Help build a home for a neighbor right here in Downingtown? Volunteer at the food bank or raise money for hunger relief? Mentor a young person? Be God’s witness to some of those in great need in our community? Welcome a new member of our community or provide a meal for a member who recently had surgery? Join us as we practice being the hands and feet of Christ in the world.

When you’re ready, contact the office or connect with a staff member or elder who will put you in touch with the leadership of the right pod or ministry to get you connected!

Time spent is a measure of quality as well as quantity.  Suggesting a deeper level of engagement with more hours spent, it is a better indicator of ‘public value’ than attendance data alone.

However, the data is currently only captured for a limited number of institutions.  Also, some institutions have internal ‘black spots’.

Using a reputable credit repair company puts you back in control of your financial reputation. These services work on your behalf to reduce or eliminate any negative factors in your credit history, working directly with collection agencies, creditors, and even with the three primary credit bureaus. With the help of a credit repair company, you can improve your score and even put a stop to negative information being reported on your accounts. Most services take several months before you see measurable results on your credit report, so adjust your expectations accordingly.
Lenders and others usually use your credit report along with additional finance factors to make decisions about the risks they face in lending to you. Having negative information on your credit report or a low credit score could suggest to lenders that you are less likely to pay back your debt as agreed. As a result, they may deny you a loan or charge you higher rates and fees.
Some of your creditors and lenders might report only to one of the credit bureaus. And, since credit bureaus don’t typically share information, it’s possible to have different information on each of your reports. Ordering all three reports will give you a complete view of your credit history and let you repair your credit at all three bureaus instead of just one.
First rate credit repair services with CreditRepair.com. Tons of useful services to help improve credit ratings. Their service support group gives you the peace of mind that these services are worth it. Great satisfaction in their claims that do come true. Trust in CreditRepair.com and you will see great improvement-I have! Their service people are among the best in the industry-real pros.
Then clean slate credit consultants in Florida. Branded as the donkey show. Priced at $59 to $25 and some pricing between $40 and $10 depending on who it is. Truly the best prices and the most unconventional website anywhere. Not for everyone. I was shocked but I figured it out. No upfront costs and they don't bill a credit card which I like. Google reviews rank at 200+. Impressive in this day and age.
"My credit before I found CreditRepair.com on a TV commercial was way low - like in the 300’s. I had liens and 12 yr. old stuff. When I talked to a consultant they explained why they were still on my credit report, & I liked the answer. Since then my credit has doubled & I was able to get a Visa & a gas card, which I couldn’t before so thank you CreditRepair.com"
And with ecommerce transactions becoming more and more common right along with significant data breaches, identity theft rates are only increasing. The number of documented data breaches increased from 614 in 2013 to 1,579 in 2017. Whatever the source, mistakes in a credit report can have devastating effects on a consumer’s ability to access credit.
With what they charge, is Lexington Law effective at helping people improve their credit history? As you'd expect with such a large business, the reviews are mixed. Most credit repair services are criticized for not making noticeable improvements in less than two months, but that's to be expected. But, Lexington seems to have a higher-than-average number of people who say that they didn't get prompt responses from company reps, not just that their reports didn't improve quickly. On the other hand, we found numerous people saying that their credit scores improved dramatically as they stayed with the service, usually for six months on average.

The offers that appear on Credit.com’s website are from companies from which Credit.com receives compensation. This compensation may influence the selection, appearance, and order of appearance of the offers listed on the website. However, this compensation also facilitates the provision by Credit.com of certain services to you at no charge.

Consider looking for a credit repair company that also offers credit monitoring with fraud protection and identity theft alerts. Identity theft can happen at any time, and many credit repair companies recommend ongoing credit monitoring services to catch problems early. Monitoring credit for inaccuracies makes it easier to address problems before they damage your credit profile.
"At first I was amazed with seeing how many items were being removed from my credit report, but at the same time I noticed CreditRepair.com was showing one score, but when it was time to pull my report and score again, they didn't even come close to what credit repair was showing. That was very frustrating to me. I joined November 2013 until July 2014, and sacrificed the $89 a month. I was with the program 8 months. I possibly would join again."
Advanced customer management tool allows for your company to work together as a team to manage every single customer. You can add new customers and leads within seconds—once again, just a few clicks is all it takes. In addition, you can capture online leads directly from your site or blog by simply pasting a web form code onto your site using our “Web Lead Form” feature. The sign ups will be sent directly to you as new leads table, where your staff can follow up with future customers.
The credit bureau usually has 30 days after receiving your dispute to investigate and verify information. Typically, the credit bureau will reach out to the company that provided the information and ask them to investigate. The credit bureau is required to send you the results of the investigation within five business days of the completion of the investigation.
Debt Relief is more important now than ever before. Across the country, millions of people are finding it more and more difficult to meet their financial obligations. As mortgage interest rates rise, Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) payments skyrocket. Credit card late fees continue to climb higher. Lenders keep offering credit to people who are in desperate need of help, but this only prolongs the problem, and often ends up simply increasing the total debt owed by a person.
Credit Saint offers a money-back guarantee that is above-average: if you don't see any negative items deleted from your credit history in the first 90 days of service, you are eligible to request a full refund of any fees paid. Customers should expect it to take up to two months for those deletions to start appearing in their online portal, and the terms of the guarantee require the client to send in any requested documentation or other updates in a timely fashion.
Professional credit repair software performs as a management tool for professional credit repair advisors and credit managers in order to maintain client records, create dispute letters, and communicate with clients. Communicating straight to the client through the credit repair software, is why credit repair software has proven to be so efficient. Confidential client information is guaranteed safe and secure while using credit repair business software and that is why it is administered by the largest and most prestigious professional credit repair businesses in the world.
One major difference between the two plans Ovation offers: you'll be in charge of submitting disputes on their lower-priced package. They'll guide you through the process of determining what to send and to whom, but you'll be responsible for making it happen. If you prefer that your credit repair service submit those dispute letters on your behalf, you'll want to choose the Essentials Plus package.
Credit restoration specialists have the experience and expertise to navigate even the most complicated credit situations. For example, a credit repair agency can help victims of identity theft remove derogatory marks on their credit reports that resulted from fraud. However, a legitimate credit repair company can’t remove accurate marks just because they are negative.
The Credit People offer a simple way to check out their services: pay an initial fee of $19, which includes your credit report (a service often not provided by credit repair services) and see what you think for the next 7 days. If you choose to continue using their credit repair plan, you'll pay a flat fee of $79 per month. The service can be cancelled at any time, and an "Unbeatable Satisfaction Guarantee" allows you to get a refund for one month's service fees (this is assuming you cancel as soon as you're unhappy, not months after the fact).
You can also pause your membership with just a click of a button in your online portal, along with being able to cancel at any time. Best of all, Sky Blue offers the only condition-free guarantee among credit repair services: within the first 90 days of your subscription, you can cancel for any reason and get a full refund of anything you've paid up until that point.
Our one-of-a-kind credit repair business program is considered the simplest and most powerfully effective way to help you manage your startup or established credit repair business. TurboDispute delivers the best credit repair business platform with tools such as automated dispute letters, client and affiliate portal, client invoicing system, activity feed, team management and fully customizable platform that you can adjust to your specific needs.
The credit bureau usually has 30 days after receiving your dispute to investigate and verify information. Typically, the credit bureau will reach out to the company that provided the information and ask them to investigate. The credit bureau is required to send you the results of the investigation within five business days of the completion of the investigation.

"When you first start the program after reading the previous reviews, you hope you're not the next one to get suckered. Which is how I'm feeling right now! $89.00 a month for something that shouldn't take this long. Only small improvements in credit score and already out almost $500.00 bucks. I should have chosen a different company that can deliver faster results instead of milking my wallet month to month. They sound good on radio and in other advertisement, but the actual results don't live up to the HYPE!!!!!! It shouldn't take this long to get the maximum results."
MSI Credit Solutions assists clients with credit repair, restoration and credit building. MSI is fully bonded and offers services in English and Spanish. Their credit repair services can help you remove incorrect marks on your credit report, including items like late payments, collections, charge offs, repossessions, tax liens, judgments and bankruptcies.
"My credit had been bad for a while because of bad decisions. I just came to the point where I said this can be better. I heard your radio commercial and your customer service walked me through the whole process and explained and answered all my questions. I am very thank you for you helping me raise my scores to a respectful. It’s been such a journey. Thank you"
eCreditAttorney's pricing is simple: $29 per month. For that fee, your credit repair service should include addressing late payments, collections, bankruptcies, tax liens, repossessions, judgments, foreclosures, charge-offs, garnishment, even identity theft/fraud. You're expected to provide a current copy of your most recent, updated credit report; it's not included with the fees that you pay. Side note: the link provided by eCreditAttorney for their "preferred credit score provider" took us to an invalid page - not very encouraging.

Congressman Hoyer aggressively advocates for his Fifth District constituents and also is a respected voice on national and international issues. After being elected Majority Leader, Congressman Hoyer took a leave of absence from his seat on the House Appropriations Committee, where he served on the Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury and Housing, and the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. As Majority Leader, though, Congressman Hoyer will still wield great influence on issues important to his Fifth District constituents.

On the Appropriations Committee, Congressman Hoyer secured funding for numerous important projects in the Fifth District and throughout the State of Maryland. He also has worked to ensure that the military bases in the Fifth District not only survived base closings but grew and thrived.

Steny Hoyer also is a widely respected voice on foreign policy and international affairs. As the former Chair and Ranking Democrat on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (the Helsinki Commission), he championed the cause of human rights, individual freedoms, democracy and religious liberties throughout the world. He called for decisive U.S. and NATO action to stop the carnage throughout the former Yugoslavia, and, more recently, condemned the repressive tactics of Afghanistan’s former ruling regime, the Taliban; recognized the danger posed by that government before the terrorist attacks of September 11; and urged action against genocide in Sudan.

AWS provides Infrastructure as a Service or IaaS and elastic computing resources.  AWS is actually several ‘clouds’ regionally-based, named as Data Centres and within these, zones of availability.  Firms can avail themselves of these data centres and zones, with their associated server resources, through a set of APIs or application programming interfaces.  AWS’ main innovation is to present to their clients a coherent and easy-to-use API access to complex virtualised server, hardware, compute, network, and storage services.

Just to be clear, EC2 or Elastic Cloud Computing is not the ‘Cloud’. AWS services by themselves are not a ‘Cloud’. EC2 London UK region, is a cloud, and is my ‘private cloud’.

There are several strategies for migrating applications to new environments.  Any phase-approach will run into reality and the pressures of bias, time, money, and pain.  Practicably, firms can shape the methodology to their situation.  AWS’ Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), itself based on TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework), are parameters and useful checklists.  They are not commandments carved in stone.

Migrations are difficult business.  There is plenty to worry about including the following what CAF and TOGAF cover: Business Requirements; Skills and Resources; Money and budgets; Governance; Security; Business Impact; Deployment and Operations; Maintenance; ROI etc. CAF provides an action plan model given below:

Figure 1:  CAF Management Portal example

The issues on the left in the above diagram need to be managed with a SaaS application if possible. Keep in mind that about 70% of all projects in IT fail to some degree.  Much of this is due to poor project management, change management and the usual problem of not understanding requirements and providing the proper solution.  Scope creep, changes and technical resource gaps are also common.

To help develop the migration plans real-world scenarios can be used.  Each typical scenario that one finds in the marketplace can help describe the application architecture, a migration process, and the technical benefits of migrating to AWS’ Cloud.

Table 1: Scenarios

Scenario Name

Use case

Motivation for the migration

Additional Benefits

Services Used

Firm A

Batch processing CRM

SFA, CRM, Client based data and sales automation

Improve sales, improve cash flow, collapse the call centre

Automation and improved development productivity

Firm B

Web Application

E Commerce

Scalability + Elasticity with backend integration

Auto Scaling, pro-active event-based scaling, ease of maintenance

EC2, S3, EBS, AS, ELB, CW, RDS, MemCache

Reality and Rationale

Almost every firm has legacy investments in applications and code.  They want to keep these alive, if not improve and refactor them.  An important use case within AWS is keeping old applications alive and providing a platform for either improvement (rebuilding the app to make it Cloud-Native friendly) or decommissioning the app and going to a SaaS application model.

Imagine an organization with 3 different CRM/SFA systems, all with different models, data types, flows and processes; hosted on different platforms and ageing hardware, in different locations.  A sensible plan might be the following:  keep these legacy apps alive, reduce operating and data centre costs by migrating to AWS; and then in the background, over time, migrate the data into a SaaS platform to ensure that all staff, in every location are following the same basic processes within the sales cycle.  Then decommission the legacy apps.  Gone are the maintenance and other costs of keeping these COTS (Customized off the Shelf Software) alive. The SaaS provider is now responsible.  The firm’s staff become simply consumers of an on-demand service.

A key rationale behind using AWS is to keep COTS alive, provide a future journey and migration plan to application improvement, and instil best-of-breed infrastructure, platform and application development practices (if appropriate); for your firm.  AWS is mainly about best practices.  Security for example, is best of breed within AWS – you just have to know how to deploy AWS’ various security models and services.

Keep in mind as well that on-going support, patching, upgrades, security refinement, monitoring, logging and associated analysis and improvement (which could include cloud-native-based refactoring), will cost 5 times or greater, the cost of moving to, or building de-novo, a Cloud system.  Operational considerations, including AWS skills, network knowledge, security management, back-up, disaster-recovery, OS, DB, application monitoring, patching and trouble-shooting are often downplayed or not well thought out.

Figure 2: Migration COTS to SaaS

An important aspect in migrating assets, keeping COTS alive, or deploying existing and functional systems onto AWS is the infrastructure flexibility of what AWS provides. This gives businesses a freedom to choose the programming models, languages, operating systems and databases they are already using or familiar with. This is especially so with LAMP models or basically open source-based systems (Linux, Apache, MySql, Php).

There are cases where you will not migrate certain assets to AWS.  They are not cloud ready.  They are too vital to risk a migration in the short term.  They function perfectly fine within a private data centre, or co-location facility.

However, usually there are several assets within an organization that can be moved to the Cloud today with minimal effort. The step by step, phase-driven approach, discussed in the paper will help you identify ideal projects for migration, build the necessary support within the organization and migrate applications with confidence.  Typically, you will migrate ‘incrementally’, unless the client, or organization must migrate more assets due to a data centre being shut down, a merger or acquisition, pending bankruptcy, or other pain points in which following a logical-phase-time insensitive road-map is simply not practical.

Figure 3: Classic migration phaseology

Whether it is a rush, or a slower process a successful migration largely depends on three key factors:

  1. The complexity of the application architecture;
  2. How loosely coupled the application is (with databases and other dependencies); and
  3. How much effort you are willing to put into the migration including skills development and operational support once you have deployed

The more documentation you have the better.  Conceptual, logical, network, component and entity diagrams are necessary.  Very few firms have these, complicating the migration.  However, by following the phases outlined in this paper you will likely achieve success, even if your application documentation, is absent.

A Phased Strategy for Migration: Step-By-Step Guide

Figure 3 presents the classic, ‘perfect world’ scenario to do a migration.  Figure 4 is a common road map based on this ideal.

Figure 4:  Assessment-POC-Data Migration-Application Migration-TOM-Operational Optimisation

It is a sensible approach, outlining the basic phases and milestones.  If we ignore real-world pressures including pain points, disasters and client demands (sometimes unreasonable); this phaseology is quite good.  The table below summarizes the main efforts per phase:

Table 2:  Phases

Confidence with the AWS api’s

Reduce risk by validating the architecture

Leverage the Cloud

Leverage other AWS services as necessary (ELB, EBS etc)

Automate HA, DR Harden security and create security templates (JSON, Cloud Formation)

Leverage multiple availability zones

Agile, DevOps focus

Best of breed scalability, resiliency

Optimize usage based on demand

Operational support with SMEs planned, budgeted

Security enhancements

Implement advanced monitoring

Re-engineer your application (?)

De-compose RDMS & re-model if necessary

Increased utilization

Better visibility through advanced monitoring and automatic alerts

Post-it Note: The order of the phases is really important.  All the ‘phases’ need to be addressed and documented, confirming an ROI and rationale for the migration to the Cloud.

The age old question.  Can I really afford a healthy lifestyle?

The age old question.  Can I really afford a healthy lifestyle?

If we walk into a supermarket and take a look at the price tag on fresh whole foods, compared to a bag of frozen chips or frozen pizza, we often wonder why the healthy option costs more.

But the real question should be, can I really afford to not have a healthy lifestyle?

Health care cover, health/life insurance the list is endless from companies who offer massive discounts on people who live a healthy lifestyle. And why?  Because these companies know you’re in it for the long term and they’re not going to have to pay out mega bucks for operations like hip replacements, diabetes prescriptions, cancer prescriptions and God forbid, life insurance to your loved ones.

These companies know the score.   You should too!

But should choosing to live an active, healthy lifestyle really be a choice?  Should it not just be way of life! A way of life for you and all your family.

Being active and eating healthy foods should be incorporated into your lifestyle.    If you’re going to sit on the couch and eat pizza all day long then you’re not investing in yourself.

Invest in YOU, because you matter.   Changing from an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy one should be the top of everyone’s to do list.    Invest in you, value yourself enough to know you deserve the best!

You should put YOU first. You should be the top priority on your list.   Invest in you, invest in your future and live a healthy lifestyle. Live your life to the fullest, because we never know how long we have on this earth, but with a healthier lifestyle you’re guaranteed to be here longer.   Pass down all your healthy habits to generations after you!

Let’s get you on the right path of a healthier, happier lifestyle.

40 UN Ambassadors Visit City of David

A delegation of about 40 UN ambassadors visited the City of David today (Saturday). They were led by Israel’s UN Ambassador, Danny Danon.

The ambassadors met Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Leon, Israel Priza laureate David Be’eri and the Deputy President of the City of David, Doron Shpilman.

Leon told Arutz Sheva: “I am excited to be here and I have no doubt that they will become our ambassadors in their countries and in the UN. I have no doubt that they are touched by the history of Jerusalem.”

Danon showed the ambassadors a 2,000 year old Hebrew coin that was used by the Jewish rebels just before the destruction of the Second Temple.

“The relationship between the Jewish people and its eternal capital, Jerusalem, began over 3,000 years ago,” he declared, “and this coin is only one of the many proofs of this. No UN decision can erase this bond, and no one can argue with this archaeology.”

Nice idea.
Unfortunate it was on shabbos

How can a mayor with a Kipah stand in front of a microphone on Shabbos koidesh.

We hope that he will do teshuva quick and bring moshiach now.
