Speedy J

Speedy J
Jochem Paap (the Rotterdam artist owes the nickname Speedy J to his DJ skills) is unanimously considered to be one of the first techno producers to come from the Benelux. Together with people like Laurent Garnier, Aphex Twin and Richie Hawtin he helped raising the genre just after it had escaped the Detroit delivery room.

Since the early nineties, Speedy J releases on labels like Plus 8, Warp and Novamute. But while techno develops into a dominating force on many dance floors worldwide, Jochem Paap, after the albums G Spot (1993) and Ginger (1995), turns left and heads for other exciting places.

On Public Energy No. 1 (1997) and A Shocking Hobby (2000) the sound wizard exchanges flowing, harmonious techno for a much more complex sound, filled with colliding samples, crackling rhythms and tremendously thrilling turns.

After fifteen years of techno Speedy J now has come full circle. But what a wide circle it was, and how fickle the trodden path. Over the years he has collaborated with video-artists, filmmakers and advertisers, made the pioneering DVD Umfeld, an audio-visual, electronic trip, which sets the standard for many composers who want to compose for six speakers in the coming years – remarkably made available as a free download on the internet.

But not only that, Speedy J has continuously been pushing the boundaries of electronic & experimental dance music. Blurring the lines between Live performance and Digital Djing, he fuses subversive electronics and peak time Techno. Together with his partner in crime Chris Liebing he started using Traktor and other Software technology on 4 laptops with hardware such as Machine Drum and 303’s to create a fully integrated set. Again he is spearheading a way of DJing that is picked up by a lot of other forward thinking electronic artists.

Electric Deluxe

Logically, the releases on his label Electric Deluxe all feature tool versions, introducing the concept of creating unique live sets from parts as a natural evolution of Djing. Not only setting the bar for peak hour Techno madness, Electric Deluxe becomes the platform for his Collabs series that started on Novamute, as well as releases by open minded artists like Chris Liebing, George Issakidis, Tommy Four Seven and Terrence Fixmer to showcase the value of creative synergy using newest technology.
Another strong part of this idea is the introduction of a new series of techno events called Electric Deluxe presents, which in a young history of just a couple of editions brought major artists like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Radio Slave, Matthew Dear, Chris Liebing into play.

Speedy J’s musical vision is genre blurring, creative freedom at the highest level of innovation and quality, it is providing a platform for artists operating within any conceivable genre in the broad spectrum of techno to fully explore and embrace the ever-expanding technological possibilities.

#GIRLBOSS Book Review

It seems that I am a bit late onto this bandwagon, but since I spotted #GIRLBOSS in a thrift store in New York for $6 I had to give it a try. I can safely say I finished reading the book before I got home from my travels, it was definitely a page-turner. However, it wasn't exactly what I expected after hearing the hype that surrounded it a few years ago. What initially lead me to buy this book was the idea of it that I had formulated in my head. I thought it would be a book that just gave our motivational advice for 200 pages, but it was much more than that, it enlightened me to realising that success isn't just about the work you do, but it's also about the person you become and how you improve yourself through improving your projects/business.

The best way to define this book into a category is: autobiography combined with business/entrepreneur/personal advice. As a Depop seller myself, I found this book particularly useful for my selling and making my Depop mini-busine…

Why & How I've Stopped Buying Clothes

Recently I've been hooked onto the fast-fashion issue again, after watching Stacey Dooley's documentary 'Fashion's Dirty Secrets' (which I would 100% recommend to you!) Documentaries like that push me into the mindset of being more aware of my personal impact on the planet. For me, the one thing I believe I could do to prevent my impact on the fashion industry (arguably the 2nd most polluting on the planet to oil/coal) is to stop buying clothes.

The clothing industry has gotten tough to avoid, with consistent 'sale' signs and cheap prices shown on social media. Instagram models also contribute to this marketing, by promoting the brands, simply by tagging where they bought their clothes from. Can we avoid the messages sent to make us want and not need? It initially seems difficult to cut out spending on clothing, as a teenage girl it seems to be all I ever spend my money on (not forgetting concert tickets) but my motivation to reduce my impact on the world …

Why I Still Use CDs & My Fave Albums

CDs have kind of become my thing. I've owned them since I turned 5 and received my first ever CD 'Pop Jr', which I still remember listening to on a regular basis (and watching the music video DVD on repeat!) Following that prime-time of my life, CD's have just been a part of my growing up. They provided music to me when I couldn't simply search for it online, or stream through Spotify (there were days before Spotify and I'm convinced it was better before it existed!) But despite my pure love for music in CD form, people still question why I use them. Why don't I keep up with the times? Why do I spend so much money on music? Let me explain...

6 Contaminated Surfaces to Avoid in Public Restrooms

6 Dirty Surfaces to Avoid in Public Restrooms

There are a handful of surfaces in public restrooms that can be especially unsanitary, and are often the culprits of bacteria and viruses, particularly during flu season.

Almost everyone knows that public restroom surfaces are often highly contaminated due to the high volume of traffic in facilities throughout the day. However, there are a handful of surfaces in public restrooms that can be especially unsanitary, and are often the culprits of bacteria and viruses, particularly during flu season. If you’re looking for a refresher on the good, the bad, and the ugly of public restrooms, below are six exceptionally dirty surfaces to avoid in the future.

Flush Handles

Because so many people use their feet to flush the toilet, flush handles often harbor significant amounts of dangerous bacteria gathered from the floor and contaminated hands. Avoid making direct contact with this particular surface to avoid getting sick.

Stall Door Handles

A stall door handle is often one of the first surfaces that a person touches after using the restroom, making it one of the most contaminated surfaces to touch. Be sure to wash your hands immediately after closing the stall door before leaving.

Faucet Handles

While it is necessary to wash your hands after using the bathroom, it is also important to note that faucet handles can also harbor germs as they are touched with contaminated hands. After washing your hands, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet in order to keep your hands clean.

Although it may sound like obvious advice to avoid direct contact with the bathroom floor, it is worth noting that the floor can be an especially dangerous surface in the bathroom. A study conducted by University of Arizona microbiologist, Charles Gerba, highlights the way in which nearly a third of handbags have fecal bacteria on them because of their frequent placement on the floors of public restrooms. Hang diaper bags and purses on designated bag hooks to avoid toting bacteria with you throughout the day.

Soap Dispensers

Similar to door handles and faucet handles, soap dispensers are among some of the first surfaces touched after using the facilities. With this in mind, consider using hand sanitizer as a stronger and more effective means of killing germs on your hands, as only 30 seconds of using hand sanitizer is shown to kill nearly the same amount of bacteria as 2 minutes of washing your hands.

Professional Sanitation to the Rescue

If you are a business owner looking to keep your restroom sanitized and well stocked with hygiene products, call the professionals for sanitation, air freshening, and supply stocking services that are sure to keep your customers happy and employees healthy throughout the year. In utilizing a professional sanitation service, you are ensuring that the surfaces in your restroom are sanitized, the air in your facilities is fresh, and supplies such as hand sanitizer and paper products are always well maintained for regular use. Keep your reputation as spotless as your facilities with professional sanitation services for your business.

Connecting the Dots - The Nexus Between Business and Ecosystems

E-mail Print PDF

Geneva, 16 January 2009 - This PowerPoint presentation builds on past and present work of the WBCSD's Ecosystems Focus Area, as well as on information generated by The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the World Resources Institute. It aims to raise awareness around the links and relationships between business and ecosystems.

The presentation ( 7.3 MB) is structured in modules, which can be used independently or together. Delivering all modules is expected to take around 3.5 hours.

The modules include:

  • Elevator speech – getting hooked (10 minutes)
  • Definitions and concepts – setting the scene (30 minutes)
  • Status and supply – urgency for action (30 minutes)
  • Drivers and causes of change – cause and effect (20 minutes)
  • Consequences of degradation – impacts (30 minutes, if examples are incorporated)
  • Responses – ways forward (90 minutes)

By including examples and case studies of business risks and opportunities arising from a company's dependence and/or impact on ecosystem services, the business case for ecosystems can be further strengthened. For examples of ecosystem service-related business risks and opportunities please see those compiled by WRI.

The target audience is WBCSD member companies and the broader business community, and anyone else interested in learning more about the nexus between business and ecosystems.

    Someone jacked my head unit and ripped out a couple connections to my leveling motors in the process. I believe the wires that got disconnected were for pins 1 and 2, the dimmable light in the switch. Now that I only have the stock radio, where can I source these dimmable power and grounds? I would prefer to use a fuse tap so I don't need to damage the stock wiring.

    Is pin 1 red and pin 2 red/black or the other way around? Talon has it one way and ragebomb has it the opposite way. I also think these are both positive + circuits yet both diagrams label them as negative -...

Benefits of History

Benefits of History

The Almighty Allah says: That nation, (Children of lbrahim) is gone. They have reaped what they sowed, and the same applies to you. You are not responsible for their deeds. (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:134)

This verse has occurred in Surah al-Baqarah with identical wording at two places. At one place it occurs after 2: 133. It says: Were you present when death came to Ya'qub and when he said to his sons: What will you worship after me? They said: We shall worship your God, the God of your fathers, Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, One Allah, and to Him do we surrender. Then it says: Those are a people who have passed away, they shall have what they have earned and you shall have what you earn, and you shall not be called upon to answer what they did.

At other place it occurs after 2: 140. It runs as follows: Do you say that Ibrahim, Ismail, and Ishaq, and Ya'qub and the twelve descendants of Bani Israil were Jews or Christian? O Prophet of Allah say: "Do you know best, or does Allah? And who is more unjust than he who hides a testimony which he has received from Allah? Allah is not unaware of what you do".

Here also after this verse the Qur'an says: Those are a people who have passed away (i.e. the Children of Prophet Ibrahim) and his sons were neither Jews nor Christians and they lived before Prophet Musa and Isa. Secondly whatever they were and whatever faith they possessed and whatever good or evil deeds they did cannot benefit or harm you. If they were good people and did good deeds how does it concern you, and if they were evil-doers why should you be worried for their bad deeds?

Is it possible that on the Day of Judgment you will be held responsible for their bad deeds? While studying the history of Āshura we have mentioned in the foregoing pages the names of some good, brave, self- sacrificing, faithful and pious persons, and have also spoken about their good deeds and valor in the path of Allah as well as their steadfastness, virtues and good morals. Similarly we have mentioned the names of some bad, sinful, rebellious and oppressive persons and referred to their bad and cowardly deeds. Keeping in view the good and bad deeds of the people we have extolled and praised those who were good and decent persons and cursed those who were mean and ignoble. However, notwithstanding the fact that honoring and sending greetings to the souls of the martyrs and the devotees who sacrifice their lives for the sake of Allah, and cursing those, who oppose truth and draw their swords against the godly people, and eliminate the virtuous and pious persons, who are the best capital of every nation, is a good and proper act, it cannot guarantee the prosperity of man unless he thinks and acts like good persons and shuns the practices of evil-doers. Otherwise the position will be the same as mentioned by the Almighty Allah thus: Those are a people who have passed away, they have reaped what they sowed.

The good and pious persons and the wicked ones formed a nation which went its own way. Whatever goodness and virtue they had is for themselves and whatever sins and oppressions they committed are also a burden on them. You will neither be rewarded for their good deeds nor held responsible for their bad deeds.

The object of repeating this verse in Surah al-Baqarah with a distance of less than ten verses is to invite the attention of the people to a very important point. One should not feel contented only by saying that Imam Husayn and his companions were great and magnanimous persons and Ibn Ziyad, Yazid and their collaborators were bad and deviated, because very often it is possible that there may be people who send greetings to the sacred soul of Imam Husayn but choose to follow Ibn Ziyad in the matter of thinking, actions and way of doing things. There are many persons who criticize and revile the bad people of the past and wish that they may be awarded severe punishment, but as far as their deeds and conduct are concerned they choose these very persons as their leaders and guides.

There is no doubt about the fact that supporting truth and the truthful people and opposing the bad persons and the bad deeds, in whatever manner it may be, is something good in itself but it does not place man in the category of good and virtuous people and does not bring him out of the circle of the bad and wicked persons, except when one follows the ways of the former and shuns those of the latter. It is only in this event that a person may be justified in saying that he supports and favors the good and opposes the bad and the wicked persons. The Holy Qur'an has paid special attention to the narration of the history of the past nations and the stories of the Prophets and of those who opposed them, and a large part of the verses and Surahs of the Qur'an has been specially devoted to this very subject i.e. the history of the ancients. However, the object of these narrations of the Qur'an is not only that the Muslims should know that Prophet Musa was a good man and Pharaoh was a bad man or that the tribes named 'Ād and Thamud were bad and deviated whereas the people belonging to other nations were good. How do Muslims stand to gain or lose because of the goodness of Prophet Musa and other Prophets and the goodness of the Christians of Najran, who were killed at the hands of Zu Nuwās, the King of Yemen or the badness of Zu Nuwās? The object of the narration of the history of the ancients is that the Muslims should ponder over the factors for the advancement, glory and good name of a nation and for the adversity, humility and downfall of another nation, and do things which make nations advanced and respectable, and shun those things which have in the past been the cause of the downfall, adversity, Divine punishment and extinction of the nations. They should understand that the Divine Sunnah (Divine Path) does not undergo a change. If a nation becomes honorable in the world for some reason, that reason will always be the means of glory, and if a nation becomes degraded and humble for some reason, that reason will always be the source of its misfortune and humiliation.

Divine Law is Unalterable

Whenever the word Sunnah has been used in the Holy Qur'an it has been used in this very literal meaning i.e. the manner in which Allah has treated the past nations. And whenever Allah says that His Sunnah is unalterable it means that there is a path for attaining to dignity and honor and He does not change it, and there is also a path and ground which leads to adversity and helplessness and that, too, is unalterable.

Allah says: That was the law of Allah in the case of those who lived before and there will never be any change in the law of Allah. (Surah al-Ahzab, 33:63)

It means that it has been the practice of Allah in the case of the sinners and the hypocrites that in order to serve an ultimatum upon them, He in the first instance sends the Prophets to them and makes goodness and badness and truth and falsehood perfectly clear to them. Thereafter He destroys and makes extinct those who do not believe, but persist in their infidelity. As regards those who try to deceive Allah and His Prophet and behave hypocritically, side with Allah as well as with His enemies, and on the one hand take from the Prophet a share out of the war booty and other benefits due to the Muslims, and on the other hand take remuneration from the enemies for spying for them and creating trouble, He disgraces them, deprives them from gaining from either side and drives them hither and thither. This Sunnah of Allah is unalterable and it should not be expected that deceit and hypocrisy can be the cause of shame and disgrace on one day and the means of honor and good name on another day.

The same thing has been said in the Holy Qur'an in these words: {Such was Our) system in the case of those whom We sent before you {to mankind), and you will never find change in Our system. (Surah Bani Israil, 17:77)

In the following verse also the word Sunnah has been used in this very sense: Tell the unbelievers, 'If you give up your evil behavior, Allah will forgive whatever you have done in the past. But if you transgress again, your fate will be the same as that of those (unbelievers) who lived before you " (Surah al-Anfāl, 8: 38) i.e. Allah declares 'We shall employ the same method in their case which We employed in the case of the past people and shall destroy these deviated people in the same way in which We destroyed them'. The same thing has been said in the Holy Qur'an thus: They do not believe in truth and they exactly follow the Sunnah (tradition) of the past people," (Surah al-Hijr, 15: 13) i.e. there is no hope that these infidels of Makkah who persist in their enmity and grudge against the Prophet of Allah will believe. They do not believe but their matter is quite clear and Our Sunnah (method) with regard to those who lived before them and persisted in their infidelity is known. We shall deal with them in the same way in which We dealt with those persons.

Allah say: Had the disbelievers fought against you, they would take to flight and would have found no guardian or helper. This is the Sunnah (law) of Allah which existed before you, and you will never find any change in Allah's system, (Surah al-Fath, 48:23) If the polytheists of Makkah had fought against you in Hudaibiya they would not have gained anything and would have taken to flight and thereafter they would not have found any refuge or helper. This is the way in which Allah has dealt with the unbelievers earlier and the law and the Sunnah of Allah do not change. It means that one of the laws of Allah is that faith is the source of victory and domination over the enemy and it is not only you and the polytheists of Makkah but out of every two parties which grapple with each other Allah grants victory to that party which joins the battle with the stimulant of faith.

Allah says: Evil plots only affect the plotters. Do they expect anything other than (Allah's) law (torment) with those who lived before? You will never find any change in the tradition of Allah nor will you find any alteration in it. (Surah al-Fatir, 35: 43) i.e. These people who do not give up idol-worship and make evil plots so as to hinder the advancement of Islam should know that evil plots eventually recoil on those who make them. And if they expect that We shall treat them in a way other than that in which We treated the people of the past, it is an inopportune expectation because Allah's Sunnah does not change and deceit and fraud can never be the source of honor and advancement.

Allah says: Their faith could not avail against Our punishment. Such is Allah's prevailing Sunnah (law) among His servants in the past. Thus the disbelievers are ruined. (Surah Mumin, 40:85) i.e. When We subjected to torture those who denied and ridiculed Our Prophets and they experienced the severity of Our punishment they appealed to Us for help and said: "We forsake infidelity and polytheism and believe only in Allah". This faith which was the consequence of pressure of torture did not do them any good and this is the Divine Sunnah (law) which has ever prevailed over the people. Consequently the disbelievers sustained loss.

When all the verses quoted above are taken together it appears that. the Divine law does not change for the sake of anyone. He does not make one honored or humble without cause. He has not created any nation to dominate and rule others, nor has He created any nation to remain afflicted, indigent and backward. Those who have acquired wealth and authority in the world have acquired it according to a Divine law, and similar is the case of those, who have been subjected to humiliation and disgrace.

Just in case you didn’t eat enough peanut butter eggs over the weekend, I’m slamming an intense peanut butter mousse torte in your face today.  I made this for my brother’s birthday awhile back, and he is an absolute peanut butter fanatic so I knew it would be perfect.  Plus the crust is made of Oreo’s so there’s really no way it can disappoint.  I have seen this recipe made over and over by different bloggers, and now I understand why.  Peanut butter can make desserts overly rich, especially in a torte like this, but the mousse keeps things light so you can take a bigger slice without a problem.  And if you’re wondering what makes a “torte” a torte, as I was questioned earlier this week, it’s usually a rich cake filled with whipped cream, buttercreams, mousse, jams, or fruit.  So according to Wikipedia, this is definitely a torte,  and a really, really good one at that.

As I tend to do these days, I adapted the recipe for my 6″ springform pan.  I just love the look of the smaller cakes/tortes and since they’re taller than 9″ I think they look more proportional.  Plus, my family of five doesn’t really need a 9″ peanut butter mousse torte, although I’m sure we could finish one off if forced to.  And as you can see from the photos, I made my crust very thick again (like I did with my mini strawberry cheesecakes too) because I love, love me a good Oreo cookie crust.  But you can totally do it how you like!  I also really liked the chopped peanuts folded into the mousse – it added such a nice crunch and more of that true peanutty flavor.  And with the chopped peanuts on top, I think it makes the dessert seem more sophisticated than something slathered in peanut butter cups (as I did, and very much enjoyed, here).  But of course I also added some some chopped peanut butter cups to the mousse just because it’s hard for me to not incorporate them into something like this.  Oh, and then there’s the chocolate ganache topping.  Because what would a chocolate torte be without that silky smooth goodness??

- In the bowl of an electric mixer fit with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on high speed until it forms medium peaks. Add in 2 tbsp of confectioners' sugar and whip until the cream forms medium-stiff peaks. Transfer the cream into another bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- Wipe the mixer bowl clean and fit with a paddle attachment. Beat the cream cheese with the remaining 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the peanut butter, and whole milk until well combined.
- With a rubber spatula, gently incorporate about 1/4 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Then fold in the crunchy mixture, and then the rest of the whipped cream. Scrape the mousse into the crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight covered with plastic wrap.

for the topping:
- Put the chopped chocolate in the bowl of a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water) and stir until chocolate is completely melted. Then remove the bowl from the stove and bring the 1/2 cup of cream to a full boil in another saucepan. Pour the cream over the chocolate and gently stir together until the ganache is smooth.
- Once the torte is set, pour the ganache over and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle on the chopped peanuts and return to the fridge for another 20 minutes to set the topping. When the ganache is firm, remove the sides of the springform pan and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    do you mind sharing that trick with us .. thanks again for yummy cake

    • Erica — June 14th, 2014 @ 11:11 pm

      It doesn’t work for all recipes, but for this one I multiplied all of the ingredients by 75%. So basically you’re just using 3/4 of the ingredients instead of all of them to go from 9″ to 6″. Doesn’t always work but did for this one!

Veronique Willems: SMEs need to see that EU is making their life better

We have to provide support to entrepreneurs not to be destroyed by failure, but to learn from the experience

Veronique Willems

First of all, the new SME Strategy needs to be for all SMEs, not only for those which are innovative, fast-growing, internationally active, but also for those that are providing our day-to-day needs, such as food, clothes, houses, cars, anything we sit on. We also need to show the added value of the Union to them. Secondly, we need to make sure that all these words that we have at EU level are turned into action, says Veronique Willems, Secretary General of SMEunited, in an interview to Europost.

Ms Willems, what were the main takeaways you wanted to deliver at this year's SME Assembly, held in Helsinki?

At the workshop Green deal for SMEs, we discussed with the participants which best practices are already in place in different Member States and regions to support the small businesses and to incentivise them to go to the greener business models. It includes, among others: circular economy, resource efficiency, decarbonisation. We had Mr Janez Potocnik, co-chair at UNEP, who put forward the scene setting. A representative of the European Commission gave some insight into what they will be proposing with the Green deal, and two entrepreneurs gave their view on how they have been greening their respective companies. We discussed with the participants what is already existing, what the EU level could contribute further to see how we can move forward. So, the takeaway from the session was: what should be the role of SMEs in mitigating the effects of climate change, but also what policies and tools the new Commission and the EU member countries have to adopt to support them in the move towards sustainable economy.

Do SMEs see the greening and digitalisation as a kind of burden, an additional cost?

We wouldn't say greening is a burden, but it is a challenge for SMEs. Just as digitalisation is a challenge for small companies. For both of these challenges we see a lot of differences among the big group of SMEs in Europe. We have companies that are really developing digitalisation, we have companies that are setting the tone in eco innovation, making sure that they move towards more greener products, greener business models. Then we have a group which is trying to find out how they can improve their companies. There is also a small group that might not have a clue yet. Especially for those who want to innovate, we are providing support to transform their business towards the digital and the green economy. In order to do that, we need an enabling legal framework. It means those who are innovating and making the new economy will have the possibility to continue their activities. It needs to be technology neutral, and give those companies a chance to look at different options.

What are the dimensions of the support that small firms need?

For those that are transforming their businesses, we need to make sure that legislation is easily applied. Apart from the enabling legal framework, we also need a facilitating environment. Here we focus a lot on skills development, which is very important. We need to make sure that entrepreneurs in the first place have the necessary skills to deal with transformation and, of course, their workers as well. We also need to make sure that the necessary infrastructure is in place. For instance, if you want companies to digitalise, you need to have a digital infrastructure - broadband, 5G. In Europe there are still a lot of areas that don't have a broadband infrastructure, so it is difficult to digitalise. We need as well to have the necessary know-how capacity first and foremost with the organisations to which entrepreneurs turn if they want to get information. Those SME organisations need to be well informed about what is going on, where they can refer to, and then we also need to make sure that the entrepreneurs get - especially for the green transformation - technical assistance for example on their production line. Finally, there is the question of the necessary financial provisions since, if you want to green your production line, it takes huge upfront investment while the returns would come only afterwards. Banks aren't always keen to provide finance for such big investments with a doubtful outcome. So, we need to make sure that there are loan guarantees and other schemes available for small companies.

Are the European companies still so attached to bank loans or are they already looking for other tools to finance their businesses?

Bank loans remain a big part of financing. Apart from that, we also see shift towards more mezzanine financing with support from subordinated loans, loan guarantees, friends and family investing in companies, etc. Of course, banking mechanisms have always been a very important part of financing for SMEs, but we also see some diversifying and interesting developments in the crowd-funding market.

What are the main findings in your recent EU SME Barometer?

We were positively surprised with the results of our SME Barometer, because the Spring SME Barometer indicated a rather negative outlook for the autumn. It wasn't as bad as expected, especially due to the internal demands that allowed SMEs to keep their business activities at a good rate. For example, due to the internal demand that remained very strong, the construction sector was kept at a positive flow. However, the uncertainty - with Brexit, with trade discussions between the US and China going on, and the threats from the US side towards Europe and the possible recession in general - it is putting some doubts on how we will move forward. The effect of these factors is impacting bigger companies that are more export oriented. Our smaller companies often depend on the internal demand. We saw that internal demand is quite positive. The SME Climate Index for Autumn 2019 increased by 0.5 points, reaching 77.1 points, an improvement, but the overall trend over the last year goes downwards, but less than expected. It seems that SMEs still are relatively uncertain about the future in general, but less worried about the direct reflection on their own businesses. So, the outlook is stable, but uncertain, and we need to be careful at the moment.

The attitude in Europe towards bankruptcy is still unacceptably harsh, and people whose business has failed are almost stigmatised, and forever. What can associations like SMEunited do for this to change?

SMEunited has been involved in project “Early Warning Europe” ( over the past three years. The project was funded by COSME Programme and we will continue activities in a different format next year. Within it, we are setting up mechanisms across Europe to help entrepreneurs in difficulties. It works to either turn around the situation, to make the entity become a viable company again, or to close it down as soon as possible and not allow its debts to grow even bigger. In this project we worked also on the stigma of failure, making sure that indeed the perception in society on failure turns around, and it comes to be seen as a learning experience. We need to provide the support to the entrepreneurs to learn from that experience. It is important for us as well, because as an SME organisation, we should not only be there for the entrepreneurs when they are successful, but we certainly have to be there when they are facing difficulties, to help them overcome them. Under the project, in the past three years we supported 3,500 enterprises in the target countries. The new Insolvency Directive, which has to be transposed until July 2021, provides for Member States to setup such a mechanism to support companies in difficulties. Within the project, we implemented such schemes in four countries, and at the moment we are implementing in another six countries. The idea is to continue next year discussing with the other Member States to also implement the programme, because it is useful for every country. If a public authority needs to choose between losing taxes, social contributions, employment, or helping a company in difficulties, the choice can be easily made.

What should the new strategy for SMEs entail, in your view?

At the end of 2018, SMEunited published our ten political priorities for the European elections in 2019, which were the big lines. Then we started to translate them into concrete measures and published them in our SME 2024 document 'Strengthening Crafts & SMEs for the Future of the European Union'. This should be the basis for the content of a specific SME strategy, on what needs to be done. What do we need to pay attention to in the SME Strategy? First of all, it needs to be for all SMEs, not only for those which are innovative, fast-growing, internationally active, but also for those that are providing our day-to-day needs, such as food, clothes, houses, cars, anything we sit on. We also need to show the added value of the Union to them. Secondly, we need to make sure that all these words that we have at EU level are turned into action, and that SMEs on the ground see a difference, that the EU is cooperating with Member States, with their region, to make their life better. At EU level, Commissioner Breton proposed the idea for a cross DG task force for SMEs. This means SMEs should not only be a topic for DG Grow, but should be point of attention in all the other DGs - in DG Environment, DG Employment, in DG R&D, DG Connect, and others. They should also pay specific attention on SMEs in what they are doing here. Whether it is benefiting SMEs. That is an element that we want to see taken on board for the whole Commission. Secondly, we want to make sure it is implemented at the national level and regional level. We would like to see the new SME strategy included in the European Semester. The Commission has been following the Small Business Act (SBA) every year with fact-sheets, really tracking and monitoring the implementation of the ten pillars. We would like to see something like this included in the European Semester. This will allow Member States to learn from each other, seeing who is doing well on early warning, who is doing well on skills development, access to finance, etc. Of course, it is very important that we take “Think Small First” principle and better regulation into the heads and hearts and actions of the institutions, making sure that the legislation take “smaller” into account, making sure that they are able to comply with the legislation without too many burdens. The Commission is taking a lot of initiatives, but for SMEs, it is not always so easy to see the forest for the trees. We support a lot of things developed at European level, but we need to make sure that it can really get to those who can use it best. There will also be a discussion with the Commission to ensure capacity building for SME organisations across Europe, to make sure that we have a good knowledge of everything existing at European level, in order to serve the SMEs better.

In accordance with the Truthful Labor Requirements Act (FLSA), some staff are exempt from the fee of an enhanced charge of pay for every hour over forty (40) in a piece week, also referred to as ‘extra time’. Whereas employers are usually not required to compensate in any other case exempt staff, some employers select to pay further compensation to exempt staff for added work. With a view to maintain the exemption, employers want to offer this compensation rigorously and in compliance with relevant legal guidelines. Pursuant to Part 541.604 of the FLSA, an employer might present an exempt worker with further compensation past the worker’s common wage with out shedding the exemption or violating the wage foundation requirement, if the employment association additionally features a assured wage of at the very least $455 per week, with none deductions for time-off.The extra compensation could also be within the type of a bonus, flat sum, further time without work, or time and a half or straight time pay for all hours the worker works past a traditional work week. The conventional work week will be outlined by the employer because it determines is acceptable for the salaried worker and doesn’t should be in accordance with the necessities of the FLSA. Subsequently, an employer can decide what number of hours it needs to declare represent a traditional work week for salaried staff. As an example an employer can have a coverage that it’ll solely pay straight time to staff for all hours labored over 50 hours per week, not the 40 hours as required for non-exempt staff. The Federal Acquisitions Laws (FAR) state that the usage of uncompensated extra time, “hours worked without additional compensation in excess of an average of 40 hours per week by direct charge employees who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act, is not encouraged. Furthermore, if you are not going to pay overtime to overtime exempt FAR Regulation 37.115-2 states that when professional or technical services are acquired on the basis of the number of hours to be provided, rather than on the task to be performed, the solicitation shall require offerors to identify uncompensated overtime hours and the uncompensated overtime rate for direct charge Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt personnel included in their proposals and subcontractor proposals. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct.FAR 37.115-2. This section suggests that under FAR the payment of overtime for exempt employees is encouraged when the contract is based upon time and materials. The FAR regulations also require that contractors abide by federal wage and hours laws regarding the payment of overtime to non-exempt employees. Compensating exempt employees as non-exempt by paying customary time-and-a-half pay can lead to a termination of the exemption and legal action against the employer. An exempt employee is “exempt” or excused from the extra time pay necessities. Exempt standing little to do with the precise job description or title, however relatively focuses extra on the duties and tasks of the worker. Although the definition might fluctuate by jurisdiction, an worker is often exempt if they’ve extra tasks than the common worker, and in the event that they carry out duties which are extra managerial in nature. Exempt staff are usually not required to punch a clock. The FLSA doesn’t place limits on the period of time that an employer is allowed to require an exempt worker to work. Once more, state legal guidelines might have completely different necessities from the FLSA. Subsequently, such staff are exempt from being paid extra time as a result of it’s assumed that the employee is working relatively independently and has extra discretion within the execution of their duties. For instance, if the particular person is concerned in hiring and firing duties, they are going to probably be categorized as exempt. Sure classes of staff are routinely listed as exempt, together with administrative personnel, executives, extremely expert staff, and licensed professionals comparable to medical doctors and engineers. Additionally, even when an worker just isn’t particularly listed as exempt, they could match into an extra time pay exemption class based mostly on what their every day tasks contain.

Pakistan's First Oracle ACE, Thank You Oracle

It was surreal and plainly out of this world, when I got to know that I was awarded the Oracle ACE award by Oracle. Oracle also told me that I was the first ever Oracle ACE from Pakistan.

The Oracle ACE program formally recognizes advocates of Oracle technology with strong credentials as evangelists and educators. Oracle ACE recipients are chosen based on their significant contributions and activity in the Oracle technical community.

I was nominated by the dear friend Surachart Opun and Nathan Edmundson. Thank You Friends.

Thank you Oracle. :)

Congrats Fahd on achieving this milestone.
Can you tell me why i cant find oracle required training for OCP in Pakistan? Has Oracle discontinued OCP compulsory hands on training in Pakistan ?

Once again, tons of congratulations on this great milestone.

Fahd Mirza said...

Mohib: Yes OU in Pakistan is very confusing. They actually don't conduct courses on their premises last time when I checked and that was not long ago.

What they do is they dish out courses to contractors like Techno Ed or NDC Academy or some others.

For courses, you can contact with the OU rep in Pakistan by Phone which is given at

Ozeri, review

[product review] Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor
Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

Note: I swear, I was good in Physics at school. mmHg is millimetres of mercury, and kPa is a kiloPascal; both are measurements of pressure (hence blood pressure). The third number at the bottom is your pulse, measured in BPM, beats per minute.

The Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is a portable blood pressure wrist cuff with MWI (Measure While Inflate) technology that allows you to keep track of your blood pressure while at home or on the go.

It has enough memory for 180 readings – 90 readings for two separate people – and has a velcro wrist strap that is suitable for wrists of all sizes.

Overall Impression

The digital blood pressure monitor from Ozeri is exceptionally easy to use, once it’s been set up. Put it on your wrist, strap it on tight, and press the Start/Stop button before waiting for it to take your blood pressure reading.

It gives a reading which is accurate enough to the readings I’ve seen in my Doctor’s office, and which are quick and painless. The wrist strap doesn’t inflate to the point of pain, which is definitely a plus, as I know I’ve had some experiences in my GP or Nurse’s hands in which I’ve felt my lower arm was about to burst open when the arm cuff inflated, haha!

It’s a really small and easily-transported unit, too; it takes up very little room. Right now, mine has a happy home in the corner of my desk in a nook beside the plug extension unit that nothing much else could fit into; it means it’s non-intrusive, but easily within reach. It also doesn’t take up a lot of space in my bag when I take it with me, slotting into a corner that’s otherwise normally filled with receipts.

Pros and Cons

Pros are the easy part: there’s nothing wrong with the unit itself, nor the case. You’re supplied with the twoxAAA batteries required to power it. The strap has a small piece of velcro at the back so it folds over on itself and isn’t left flapping about. The screen is easy to read, with large numbers and a good contrast between text and background (although there can be a teeny bit of a problem in direct light). There are no sharp edges or jagged parts; none of the velcro seems to ever come in contact with my skin.

The only con really seems to be with the instructions manual, which seems to be fine; perfect except for the fact that it lacks details on how to reset the date and time in the event that you make a mistake and press “set” instead of “mem” during the setup, which I did the first time. I accidentally set the year to 2024 instead of 2014, and while it wouldn’t really have made a difference to the unit, I knew it was there and it would have bothered me.

You can reset the date and time – that is, get it to come up on screen to have it be changed – and that’s by taking off the battery cover. I’m not sure if this is the recommended course of action, as there’s nothing explained or suggested in the instructions booklet, which is otherwise fantastic. Luckily, removing the battery cover does not destroy the saved blood pressure readings in the memory.

If you would like to remove the saved blood pressure readings that are in the memory (if, for example, they’re causing your blood pressure to increase 😉 ), the instructions for that, are in the otherwise brilliant wee booklet.

★★★★☆ – The unit itself is a solid 5-star product, as I couldn’t find fault with it. The lost star is for the instruction manual, which seemed to be missing one or two wee things which would have made this item otherwise perfect as a whole.

I’m not sure about the Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor’s availability elsewhere, so I’ll just say what I know for sure: it’s available on Amazon.co.uk.

You can also find the link to my review of the unit on Amazon in the Disclaimer section below.

I was provided with 1 (one) Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Unit, free of charge, in return for a review on my blog, and on Amazon.co.uk; I was not required nor expected to write a positive review, only an honest one. All opinions are and remain my own.

If you would like me to review your product, please contact me fatso@fatgirlslim.org, although requesting a review does not guarantee acceptance.

Andean Mountain Cat

Leopardus jacobita

The Andean mountain cat is one of the least known felids in South America. It is extremely rare, with a very small distribution.

The species has long, thick fur and a coat of a pale, silvery gray. The coat is spotted and striped with blackish or brownish markings. White underparts are marked with dark spots. The tail is long and bushy, banded with about seven dark rings.

The mountain cat lives high in the Andes of southern Peru, southwestern Bolivia, northeastern Chile, and northern Argentina. Within this limited range, the elusive mountain cat is usually found at elevations above 3,000 meters in the high, rocky, and generally treeless zone of the mountains. A mountain cat probably eats any small mammal, bird, or lizard it can catch.

Little is known about this cat. However, in the few cases when it has been observed, it seems to be active in periods both in the day and the night.

Threats to this rare species include illegal hunting for its fur and habitat fragmentation. The loss of even a few individuals from the mountain cat’s small population could be disastrous. The Andean Mountain Cat is classified as Endangered (EN) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Vital Stats:
Lifespan- Unknown

Weight- 3-7 kg

Body Measurements- Total length: 95-130 cm

Status (IUCN)- Endangered (EN)

Friday Fotos

Recent random images that interested me.

Vogue contributing editor, Lauren Santo Domingo photographed at London Fashion Week earlier this month. I don’t know how tall she is, but she sure looks tall in this photo – “femulator tall” if you know what I mean.

Students crossdress in Spain during Carnival, as illustrated by this 2012 photo. (Every day is Carnival for some of us!)

An interesting photo from an e-mailed Brahmin advertisement. What part of the outfit is unisexual? (I love the skirt, by the way.)

Skirts for everyone was all the rage in London for about three minutes during the 1960’s. (The hairy legs of the miniskirted fellow reminded the chap in the white sweater  that he should have shaved his face closer that morning.)

In my opinion, the web site of Madeleine, the British online clothing retailer, consistently has excellent photos for displaying the clothing they sell. Have any Femulate readers actually purchased clothing from Madeleine? If so, what is your opinion of their womenswear?

Finally, here is one more photo of actor Michael A. Andrews femulating in the 1985 film Malibu Express. I saw the film a few times very late at night on local cable television. I don’t recall much of the plot except the part where Andrews crossdresses in the back of her chauffered limousine to go to a nightclub to meet another femulator for drinks. You can view that part of the film here.

And while I have your attention, there was another film that I saw on cable a few times that I have been unable to track it down. It was a circa 1990 British film that interested me because part of the plot involves various male characters attending a big drag party.

One scene that sticks in my mind are automobiles pulling up to the site of the party to drop off the crossdressed attendees. A couple of policeman are standing by and when one of the “girls” gets dropped off, the policeman acknowledge her with, “Good evening, Captain” or some similar title of authority.

Does anyone know the name of the film?

  1. Dear Stana,

    1. The girl in the top photo appears to be wearing at least 6” heels. This brings to mind what I'll call the “varying heel height game”. I am 6-0 barefoot. I have a T-girlfriend who is 5-9 barefoot. When she wears her usual 6” heels, and I wear my frequent choice of flats, she appears to be 3” taller than I. When I less often wear my 3” high heels and she's wearing her 6-inchers, we appear to be the same height. On the other extreme, when I wear my 3-inchers (the highest I go) and she wears flats, I appear to be 6” taller than her. As an age 70 6-footer (who has experienced normal age related shrinkage down from my peak height of 6-1 barefoot), I have always noticed others' height in relation to mine. I quite enjoy the “varying heel height game”.

    2. Yesterday, I watched MURDER YOU, MURDER ME on Netflix DVD (it's not available on Netflix Streaming). Exquisite femulator Michael A. Andrews plays a small-in-screen-time but very pivotal character. I quite enjoyed the film … it was a well-done 1980's “film noir” detective story. Stacey Keach was superb as Mike Hammer, and the positive critical reception to this made-for-TV movie led to Stacey continuing the role in a network TV series. The rendering of the DVD was excellent. It looked pristine on my large screen HDTV.

    1. I like playing that game, too, Sheila!

  2. The model in the Madeleine photo is wearing stockings. I wonder how much Princess Kate is influencing women to wear those again?

Eli Lilly to launch two more authorised Humalog generic products in US at 50% lower list price

Eli Lilly said Tuesday that it plans to introduce half-priced versions of Humalog Junior KwikPen (insulin lispro) and Humalog Mix75/25 KwikPen (insulin lispro protamine/insulin lispro) in the US by mid-April. Both of the new generic insulin products will have a list price of $265.20 for a package of five KwikPens.

"These lower-priced insulins may reduce out-of-pocket costs, especially for people in the coverage gap of Medicare Part D, the uninsured or those with high-deductible insurance plans," commented Mike Mason, president of Eli Lilly's diabetes division. The drugmaker said it will begin negotiating with wholesalers and payers immediately to make the new additional lower-priced insulins available.

Eli Lilly first launched an authorised generic version of its Humalog U-100 insulin in the US in May last year at a 50% lower list price as part of efforts to address the issue of patients' high out-of-pocket costs. The move came as the company, along with other insulin makers Novo Nordisk and Sanofi, came under growing pressure from US lawmakers to explain the rising cost of insulin in the country.

However, a report in August citing recent data from GoodRx, an app that tracks drug prices, indicated that patients were struggling to obtain the half-price insulin, with roughly 3% of insurance claims for Eli Lilly's insulin being for the generic version, while 97% were for its brand-name product. On Tuesday, Eli Lilly provided more recent figures, saying that over 67,000 people filled prescriptions for its generic insulin lispro injection in November, with roughly 10% of Humalog users having transitioned to the lower-priced option.

The company noted that combined, Humalog U-100, Humalog Mix75/25 and Humalog Junior KwikPen make up more than 90% of prescriptions written for its mealtime insulins, giving the "vast majority of people using a Humalog formulation...an option that may reduce their out-of-pocket costs." It also pointed out that more than 95% of patients using Humalog pay less than $100 for their monthly prescription because of their insurance coverage or one of the company's affordability programmes.

Earlier this month, Novo Nordisk launched its authorised generic versions of NovoLog (insulin aspart) and NovoLog Mix (insulin aspart protamine/insulin aspart) in the US at a 50% discount to the list price of their branded counterparts. Meanwhile, Sanofi offered new discounts in the US for its insulin products last year, providing some patients with diabetes access for $99 per month.
