Gift Ideas for Every Type of Officemate
It's 9 days before Christmas!
While it's exciting for most, there are others who still haven't ticked off everything in their shopping list. You might have been busy these past couple of days or you might be going through something fairly recently that you haven't done some much-needed shopping for the holidays.
Aside from family and friends, you also have your colleagues in the office to give gifts too. Yes, it's entirely up to you if you want to give your officemates something and you're feeling extra generous, so why not? There are always offers left for last-minute shoppers so don't worry about not scoring Christmas deals at this point in time.
We listed down some items you could give your peers at work that would match their personality or role in the office.
For the Boss
Your boss has been working really hard to give you and your colleagues the best workplace ever. They are responsible for cultivating an environment that inspires you to work at your best and incentivize you for that dedicated performance. Even though they have more flexible work hours, the job of a boss doesn't end when it's time to go home. A good boss usually thinks about how to continuously improve work conditions for you and your officemates.
It's your time now to give your boss the pampering he or she deserves. If you think they lack sleep, this bed accessory is a game-changer. FlexiSpot only wants the best for its clients which is why it carries the Electric Adjustable Bed Base EB011. It gives anyone with a good night's sleep that supports the upper body whichever set-up the user wants. The head can be adjusted from 0 to 60 degrees so it's easy to find the perfect angle for any of your activities. The legs also offer three height options, 3", 6", or 9", which you could adjust accordingly. It can be used as a standalone or be fitted in a standard-sized bed frame without slats so your boss wouldn't have a problem fitting it in his or her room.
You may currently get it at $100 off its original price.
For the Leader
This Height Adjustable Whiteboard Standing Desk is perfect for your officemate with the big ideas, the officemate who loves to lead, and is not afraid to take responsibility for big tasks. The tabletop is flippable with five different angles: 0/60/70/80/90°. The whiteboard desktop, which is 0.7" thick, has a smooth and durable surface that your leader officemate would find easy to jot down his thoughts and ideas with a dry-erase marker. You could erase it anytime with a dry cloth or eraser. What's more, is that your officemate could move the desk around because it has four easy-rolling caster wheels that could turn 360 degrees. It also has an advanced all-in-one keypad with three programmable presets that could save your preferred seated, standing, and under-desk cycling heights. It could give you a sit-stand reminder at a designated time of the day.
At the moment, this product is priced at $379.99, $20 less than its original price of $399.99.
For the Advocate
If your officemate has a big heart for advocacies or movements with a bigger purpose, he or she will love the Kana Bamboo Standing Desk. Of course, the desk is of great quality; could carry up to 275 pounds; lift the desk from 1.26 inches per second up to 1.5 inches per second, and the height could be adjusted from 22.8 to 50 inches. Even at the maximum height, it remains stable and sturdy.
Your officemate would love it because it's made of bamboo sourced from Asia. Bamboo is a durable and eco-friendly material, selected and harvested by bamboo farmers themselves. Your officemate might even be more ecstatic when he or she finds out that every purchase of this item from FlexiSpot equals one tree to be planted under the One Tree Planted project.
Get it for $20.00 less than its original price if you buy it now.
For the Design-Conscious
FlexiSpot prides itself on high-quality products that are not only ergonomic but are also stylish and sleek.

It is made of frost stain-resistant velvet upholstery and features a unique scalloped detail. It comes in blue or grey.
Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it also has a thickened headrest, a curved cushion, and a backrest—all helping to reduce back, hip, and neck pain.

Just add it to your workstation and you'll instantly be saving space and getting organized. It comes with a large, partitioned drawer where you could store your desk clutter.

Hanging on both sides are other functions such as stationery holders. Moreover, it has an integrated UV sterilization that disinfects your gadgets in just 10 minutes.

Planning to go on a trip while pregnant? Pregnancy is generally a safe time to travel, but it has its own unique challenges and there're certain things you need to take into consideration.
During the first trimester many women feel constantly tired and then, there's the dreaded morning sickness (also known, more accurately, as all-day sickness). If you're experiencing these symptoms, you won't enjoy your holiday as much or not at all. The best time to go is the second trimester, when hopefully the morning sickness will be behind you and your energy will have returned. The fatigue is likely to make a comeback during the third semester along with the heavier weight.
Something else to keep in mind when you're planning an overseas trip is travel insurance. While many airlines will let you fly up to 36 weeks, travel insurance companies will not cover you for pregnancy past 26-30 weeks (double check with your travel insurance provider), so any complications after that can be costly.
Comfortable flat shoes are a must, especially if you're planning to do a lot of walking. Pack clothes that will allow for your changing size. Pick cotton and natural materials to keep you cool and comfortable. If you have room, bring your favourite pillow.
Acupressure bands are great to have to reduce morning sickness, but also car and sea sickness, which you may become more prone to during pregnancy. If you're finding yourself grazing all day to fight the nausea, make room for some of your favourite snacks. Also, have a bottle of water. You won't be able to take it with you on the plane, but it'll come in handy if you're travelling by any other mode of transport.
How to make travelling while pregnant work for you?
Don't overload your itinerary with tours and activities. Your energy levels won't be the same as usual, so go slow and allow for plenty of rest. Even if you're an adrenalin junkie, opt out of some adventure activities this time. Instead, choose something you won't be able to do as easily once the baby arrives, even if it's just dressing up and going for a nice dinner.
Be sensible with food and stick to the pregnancy guidelines, even if you're very tempted to try something local, but not entirely safe to eat.
Choose the activities you want to do and use your pregnancy card, if you have to. You're only pregnant for such a short time (even if it may not feel so when you're in the middle of it), so make the most of it!

Real metrics to benchmark talent acquisition
November 6, 2017	| by	Talent Heros |
8 ways Founders and In-House Recruiters can work well together
Many in-house recruiters will feel as though they are trapped between a rock and a hard place when working with hiring managers.

An employer brand checklist any company can use
It may well be the latest buzzword in recruitment circles, but you simply can't underestimate the importance of employer branding. Get it right and your business will b
Are you listening? How active listening will power up your team
It goes without saying that most business owners and leaders want to be seen as experts in management, deftly understand the needs of their team and making the required decisions to create a streamlin
In many respects, it makes a great deal of sense for Talent Acquisition specialists, not just HR leaders, to play a more significant role in strategy. After all many celebrated high-growth companies are adopting a holistic approach towards attracting and retaining top talent.
As opposed to the traditional, transactional nature of hiring, modern-day recruitment is now being given greater value, quickly establishing itself as a central function of entire organisations.
But in order to truly convince executive teams that this is the right way forward, you will need to identify real metrics with which to benchmark talent acquisition (TA).
Measuring your activity ensures that goals can be set and met with accuracy and efficiency. You can also look to objectively review value, costs, quality, time, and reputation.
"As recruiters, we can download the data we need, manipulate in a way to show leading indicators for clients and hiring managers. That puts everyone in a better position to make sure we're getting the best talent," notes Adam Ward, Recruiting Manager at Pinterest.
Time to Hire
The problem with your typical 'time to hire' measurement is that its a reactive strategy, which relies on looking backwards to make a future decision. Although it may speed up the process, 'time to hire' does little to maximise the likelihood of attracting top quality talent.
So, instead of measuring the elapsed time, starting with the submission of the job requisition and ending with an accepted offer, focus more on forecasting. Recruitment should be an ongoing process, which is embedded into company culture through talent communities and better employer branding.
By establishing strong relationships with passive and active candidates, time to hire becomes a much more proactive metric, which offers greater benefit to all.
Engage to Close
This evaluates the efficacy of your organisation's hiring process, helping you make evidence-based decisions on a candidate. As a result, you can see whether the interview process brings in meaningful and relevant information.
'Engage to Close' should look at both the quantitate, such as how long a candidate spends in each recruiting stage, and the qualitative, like interview discrepancies.
"At Disqus, we've implemented a systemised interview plan that helps us move candidates quickly through the pipeline and keep turnaround time low. If our process is slowing down at a particular stage, or with a particular interviewer, it is easy to identify and correct," reveals Helen Laroche, Data-Driven Recruiter at Disqus.
Conversion Rates
With a structured interview process, you can measure 'conversion rates' at each stage of the funnel, to identify where candidates drop out and why.
At Thumbtack, Head of Staffing Marissa Huang says that by tracking stage conversions, she can identify coaching opportunities for her hiring teams. She explains:
"If conversion rates are too high at a late stage, we can drill into interviewer feedback to see if the candidates truly met the expected criteria, and coach interviewers who are being too lenient."
Source Quality
Rather than determining the quality of a source based on the number of candidates who applied from it, many companies are turning their attention to the quality of candidates instead.
Also, looking at 'cost per hire' across each source, allows you to discover the value you get from each one. In turn, this can better inform decisions on adding, reducing, or removing budget from your source choices.
This data can then be sent to the executive team. If you can show that one platform generates higher-quality candidates than another, they will be more likely to inject additional investment.
Quality of Hire
If your business calculates Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) to measure the productivity of customer acquisition efforts, why can't you calculate Employee Lifetime Value (ELV) too, which links recruiting to performance metrics?
By knowing ELV, the executive team will implicitly understand the value of acquiring a top performer, which also has a direct impact on the company's revenue stream and bottom line.
For example, Google has found that hiring a top-performing employee results in 300 times more productivity and business impact compared with hiring an average-performing employee.
Churn rates are something every business has to deal with. It can be higher for certain organisations and industries, but that doesn't mean you can associate the idea of attrition with factors outside of your control.
Although many elements contribute to churn rates, the talent acquisition function has an opportunity to effect the likelihood of longevity.
This includes carrying out thorough requirement gathering from the hiring manager, sticking to the agreed candidate experience, and sourcing those who will be motivated by, interested in, and excited about the role. You can draw a direct correlation between longevity and quality of hire too.
Conclusion – The changing face of talent acquisition
Talent acquisition is now a strategic exercise that is embedded into many organisations. It's being used to optimise the recruiting process to improve quality of hire.
When it comes to KPIs, these must now be aligned with the bigger picture to help make smarter, evidence-based decisions regarding finance, as well as recruitment.
The talent function should also include effective onboarding and consistent staff engagement, as this will lead to long-term value from your hiring efforts.

Nordbygg looking out for trends in 2022
Construction in Sweden has, just like the rest of society, been affected by the ongoing corona pandemic. But what are the prognoses for next year and what will be trending in the construction industry in 2022?
Even though Spring 2020 chopped up the building curve a little bit, housing has made good progress since then. For 2022, the construction sector will be characterised by a strong economy with more projects starting, Tor Borg thinks.
– We see a steep increase in construction tempo during 2021, and there are works in progress almost everywhere in the country in most sectors and segments. Right now, we have an extremely strong economy and a stable economic situation, the future is looking bright and we can expect an increase in construction work, says Tor Borg.
In regards to future construction, Karin Kjellson sees a larger focus on circularity and climate neutral.
– More and more, we think about what the society of the future will look like, and we will see new innovations connected to the living environment of the future. In part climate neutral construction, and also circularity, which will be a whole new way of designing buildings. We have to think more about the entire life-cycle when constructing, both in dismantling and reconstruction. I think we will see a trend regarding recycling and a greater use of current structures, such as building houses out of old houses, says Karin Kjellson.
Office death exaggerated
During the pandemic, there has been a lot of talk about our office spaces dying, but some say the rumour of office death has been exaggerated. Office spaces are still being constructed, even though the numbers are somewhat lower than two years ago.
– Offices as a property type will remain, however offices won't be seen as a factory-like environment anymore. We have seen that it is just as possible to perform and work from somewhere else than your office, says Tor Borg.
Karin agrees and says that architects have not seen a decrease in office orders compared to before, but that the orders have changed.
– There is a desire to increase utilization rate of the offices and people tend to think more about how to organise the facilities to increase sharing of the space. I think that offices will be seen as a social arena, rather than somewhere you go for working in private, says Karin Kjellson.
The view of private housing has also changed during the pandemic. More people are investing more money in their living space than before and the desire to have more living space has led many to move out of the cities.
– I am not sure that the trend will last. We have had an urbanisation since the industrialism and I think the cities will have a comeback. For next year, I hope to see a higher degree of market thinking in housing policy and more focus on the social sides. More should be done for those who are outside the property market, says Tor Borg.

Media, PA – Today Delaware County District Attorney Katayoun M. Copeland announced that Victor Lesean Simmons, 48, was convicted and found guilty for the November 10, 2016 robbery of the Wells Fargo Bank in Lansdowne, Delaware County. The defendant, who is currently incarcerated, is serving a sentence for a robbery conviction committed in Montgomery County.
Following a jury trial before Delaware County Court of Common Pleas Judge Anthony D. Scanlon, Victor Lesean Simmons, 48, of the 100 block of East Cheltenham Avenue in Philadelphia, was found guilty of robbery, a felony of the first degree. Sentencing is scheduled for February 19, 2019. The investigation was conducted by Sergeants Kenneth Rutherford and Christopher J. Schiazza of the Lansdowne Police Department and the case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Gina Gorbey on behalf of the Commonwealth. Assistance with the apprehension of the defendant was provided by East Lansdowne, Yeadon Borough and Aldan Borough Police Departments.
On Thursday, November 10, 2016, at approximately 12:17 p.m., the Lansdowne Police Department responded to the Wells Fargo Bank located at 65 W. Baltimore Avenue for a report of a holdup alarm activation. While in route to the bank, Delaware County Emergency Services (DELCOM) provided a description of the actor and his vehicle. A vehicle matching the description was located by Officer John Meehan of the East Lansdowne Police Department on Baltimore Avenue, traveling eastbound. Officer Meehan activated the emergency equipment in his patrol vehicle and pulled over the defendant, who jumped out of the vehicle and attempted to flee. With assistance from surrounding departments, including Officer Kevin McDermott of the Lansdowne Police and Officer Nick Dellassandra of the Yeadon Police Department, Officer Meehan took the defendant into custody. Officers searched the defendant and located bank bait money on him.
As part of the investigation into the robbery, Sergeant Christopher Schiazza of the Lansdowne Police Department spoke to a female victim who is a teller at the Wells Fargo Bank. She stated that she was approached by the defendant who banged against the bank counter glass and demanded that she give him money, asking for "hundreds in an envelope." She reported that he told her not to hit the alarm and that a fellow bank employee was standing next to the defendant. She advised that the defendant told her "I got him (her co-worker) don't do anything, I have him." The female victim felt that the male was threatening her co-worker and gave the defendant the bank bait money while hitting the bank holdup alarm. As the defendant left the bank, he told another bank employee "back up off me before I shoot you."

As always, even though we are a spoiler board, we do NOT want to have the episode spoiled while it is airing.
One less excuse I can make for not starting my homework earlier on Sundays!
Happy TAR day, ART & JJ to win.
Happy TAR day to everyone! I won't be able to watch it live today , so i'm hoping Polaroid or everyone else do his awesome job here to let me informed!
Has any other team this season gotten the stinger?
Five teams raced from Tanzania to Cochin, India.
Mark had trouble at the roadblock. He decided to quit the roadblock, but Bopper encouraged him to finish. They finished the leg, and it was a NEL.
"Kentucky is still in the game, baby."
No mention of any other teams.
Rachel & Dave, the first team to depart, leave at 6:53 AM. Make your way to a temple to receive a greeting from the head priest, along with a clue. Shoes have to be removed at the temple. Rachel & Dave will be disappointed if they don't win the million.
Brenchel depart at 7:20 AM. Brenchel think Rachel & Dave are their biggest competition and they don't like Vanessa & Ralph and Art & JJ. They won't be emotional.
Art & JJ depart at 7:28 AM. $20 for this leg of the race. JJ has a cold. Boo hoo.
Vanessa & Ralph depart at 7:32 AM. They always race like they're in last place. Vanessa: Which is usually the case.
Art & JJ can't get a rickshaw.
Rachel & Dave depart at 7:20 AM. Brenchel think Rachel & Dave are their biggest competition and they don't like Vanessa & Ralph and Art & JJ. They won't be emotional.
How come Rachel & Dave departed twice?
Art & JJ get a rickshaw.
3 hours before the pit start: Mark might be suffering from a heat stroke?
Rachel & Dave arrive at the temple. There's a Fast Forward. But they can't take it. Proceed... somewhere else.
Brenchel arrive at the temple. Fast forward: Make their way to a temple and find these two priests. They're going to try for the fast forward.
Vanessa & Ralph arrive at the temple. They're taking the fast forward (couldn't hear, was on the phone).
Art & JJ arrive, and they can't take the FF.
Brenchel arrive at the FF. It's a switchback! The last time someone took it, they won the Amazing Race (Uchenna & Joyce). Brendon has no problem with it, but Rachel does. Commercial!
An official Switchback -- for the second time ever.
If Vanessa & Ralph went for the Fast Forward, too, please don't let Vanessa be too attached to her hair.
Ladies and gentlemen, ¡the drama queen!
Forgot to mention, but for the FF, you have to have your head shaved.

False-positive prostate cancer bone metastases on magnetic resonance imaging correctly classified on gallium-68-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography computed tomography

Imaging in prostate cancer is important in defining the local extent of disease, nodal involvement, and identifying metastases. Bone scan is the most commonly used modality for identification of bone metastasis in prostate cancer despite its reported low sensitivity and specificity compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is the imaging gold standard for bone metastasis. Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography (68Ga PSMA PET-CT) imaging is a relatively new addition to the imaging modalities in prostate cancer. This is a report of a patient with high-risk prostate cancer with features consistent with skeletal metastases on MRI but negative for skeletal metastases on bone scan and 68Ga PSMA PET CT. Histology confirmed the absence of skeletal metastases.
Keywords: 68Gallium prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography, bone metastasis, magnetic resonance imaging, prostate cancer

Abubakar SO, Amoako YA, Tag N, Kotze T. False-positive prostate cancer bone metastases on magnetic resonance imaging correctly classified on gallium-68-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography computed tomography. World J Nucl Med [serial online] 2018 [cited 2021 Jan 19];17:305-7. Available from: http://www.wjnm.org/text.asp?2018/17/4/305/244275
Prostate cancer is a common cause of cancer death in men that is potentially curable when it has not metastasized. High-risk disease (clinical stage T2c, Gleason score >8, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >20 ng/ml),[1] is more often associated with metastases especially to lymph nodes and bones. 99mTc-MDP bone scan is the most commonly used modality to assess for skeletal metastases in prostate cancer. However, if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is done, usually for defining the local extent of disease, it is more sensitive and specific for bone metastases than bone scan.[2] Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) is a new positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) tracer that has shown high sensitivity and specificity for local disease, lymph node metastases, and bone metastases. We present a case of high-risk prostate cancer with false positive skeletal metastases on MRI as confirmed by histology which was truly negative on bone scan and 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT.
A 53-year-old man was referred from a peripheral hospital with high-risk prostate cancer, clinical stage T2c, Gleason 4 + 5, and PSA of 103 ng/ml. He had a 99mTc-MDP bone scan which was negative for skeletal metastases [Figure 1]. He was considered for radical surgery and was, therefore, sent for pelvic MRI to define the local extent of disease and 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT to assess for distant metastases given the high PSA level. The MRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT were acquired about 1 week apart. MRI showed inhomogeneous marrow signal with numerous low signal lesions on T1- and T2-weighted images in the pelvic bones consistent with skeletal metastases [Figure 2]. There were no skeletal metastases on 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT in the pelvis or any other bone [Figure 3]. Bone marrow biopsy was done because of the discordant finding on the MRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT. Histology showed normal bone marrow with no evidence of malignancy [Figure 4].
Figure 1: Bone scan shows no evidence of skeletal metastasis
Figure 2: Transaxial T1-weighted and coronal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging images show numerous low signal lesions in the pelvic bones consistent with skeletal metastases
Figure 3: 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT images show no evidence of skeletal metastasis
Figure 4: H and E, ×200 objective shows normal marrow (a). Negative AE 1/3 immunohistochemistry (b)
Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy after middle age and the third-most common cause of cancer death in men.[3],[4] Clinical risk stratification is based on findings on digital rectal examination, Gleason grade, and PSA level. The disease extent, localized or metastatic, is assessed with imaging. Metastatic disease is more common in high-risk patients. Prostatectomy in addition to other forms of treatment may be offered to patients with localized disease whereas patients with metastases are not offered prostatectomy.[4],[5] Bone is the second-most common site of prostate cancer metastases after lymph nodes, and 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy which is most commonly used for assessing skeletal metastases has a lower sensitivity and specificity compared to whole-body MRI (79% vs. 97% and 82% vs. 95%).[2] Whole body MRI is however often impracticable. In prostate cancer, MRI is used to define the local extent of disease and assess invasion into surrounding structures. 68 Ga-PSMA PET-CT is an emerging modality that enables imaging of PSMA which is overexpressed in the primary lesion and metastases.[6],[7] The expression of PSMA at the primary site and in metastatic lesions is directly related to the aggressiveness of the prostate cancer.[8] 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT is highly sensitive for nodal and skeletal metastases. The role of 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT in prostate cancer is still evolving. Currently, it is recommended for localization of tumor following biochemical recurrent prostate cancer and in the staging of high-risk prostate cancer.[9]
Our patient had pelvic MRI to appropriately plan for prostatectomy and had 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT so as to be absolutely sure there was no metastases particularly to pelvic and intra-abdominal nodes. Had a 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT not been done, the finding of pelvic bone metastases on MRI would have superseded the negative bone scan and the patient would not have been considered for radical treatment. The florid nature of the pelvic metastases seen on MRI was however not in keeping with a negative 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT. We considered that the patient may have a second malignancy responsible for the bone marrow infiltration which is not 68Ga-PSMA avid. Pelvic bone biopsy showed normal marrow with no evidence of malignancy.
MRI is more sensitive and specific than 99mTc-MDP bone scan for skeletal metastases and patients who have just these two investigations and show skeletal metastases on MRI would be classified as having skeletal metastases irrespective of the bone scan findings.[10] If 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT is done and negative for skeletal metastases in the setting of a positive MRI, a histologic diagnosis may be needed to avoid wrong staging of the patient which will affect the type of treatment offered. This report contributes to the data on the value of 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT in prostate cancer skeletal metastasis.

Milestone's secret weapon is its ecosystem
July 2013 CCTV, Surveillance & Remote Monitoring
Andrew Seldon
Milestone Systems recently held its Milestone Partner Open Platform Days (MPOP) for its Middle East and Africa partners in Abu Dhabi. Hi-Tech Security Solutions was fortunate to be there to hear the latest from the company and some of its partners.
Attendees at MPOP MEA 2013.
Peter Biltsted, Milestone's director for the Middle Easand Africa. "The skills requirements for accreditation will be increased.""
In introducing the conference, Peter Biltsted, Milestone's director for the Middle East and Africa, said the conference attracted about 270 people from 24 countries as well as demonstrations from 24 exhibitors. These exhibitors ranged from Milestone's Diamond partners like IBM, to Platinum partners like Arecont Vision and Razberi Technologies, Gold partners like Sony, Bosch, Pivot 3 and Allied Telesis, and other sponsors like Pelco, Axis, Sentry 360, Vivotek and Raytek, among others.
Local companies represented at the event included Axis Communications, Camsecure, IPVS (IP Video Solutions), ITS Group and the V&A Waterfront. At the dinner event at the end of the conference, Milestone handed out a range of annual awards to recognise its partners in the MEA (Middle East and Africa) region.
This year saw South African companies showing their colours and collecting multiple awards in each category. The following lists the South Africa awards:
* Best Value Added Distributor of the year 2012 for Africa was won by IPVS;
* Best Project of the year 2012 for Africa was won by the V&A Waterfront and ITS Technologies (be sure to read the case study printed in this issue);
* Best MAP Partners of the year 2012 for Africa was won by Axis Communications, which also won the same award for the Middle East region;
* Best Partner of the year 2012 for Africa was Camsecure.
Eric Fullerton, Milestone's chief sales and marketing officer. "Milestone has divided the market into nine segments ranging from low to high complexity and single to multiple sites."
In his State of the Union presentation, chief sales and marketing officer, Eric Fullerton noted that Milestone's compounded growth between 2004 to 2012 averaged 34,3%. He added that the Middle East was the strongest contributor to the company's first quarter results for 2013, showing 117% growth, 49% above budget. This region is really in the pound seats for security growth in the coming years, even the partners in the region were excited about the opportunities and looking to establish a presence in critical centres – such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
He then highlighted Milestone's leadership in open platform video management over the years. Two of the focus areas he highlighted was Milestone's decision to commit to its channel and establishing the Milestone ecosystem – allowing third parties to create applications that could be integrated into and enhance the value-add of the core Milestone platform. South Africa's Smart Protect (www.smartprotect.co.za) is an example of this type of application.
In 2013, the company's goal is to execute on three aspects of its strategy, a new segmentation model, an updated channel partner programme and its multi-platform recording engine (called Arcus).
In the segmentation area, Fullerton says Milestone has figured out that the traditional market segmentation of the low end consisting of one to 16 cameras, the mid-market made up of 17 to 100 cameras and the high-end of over 100 cameras does not work in the real world. Milestone has therefore divided the market into nine segments ranging from low to high complexity versus single to multiple sites, each served by various XProtect products.
The goal is to use a common strategy to address all the customer segments, but to focus on what works for the customer, whether this is starting small and growing the solution as required, or high-touch customers that require one-to-one service for complex, multi-site solutions.
Fullerton later also highlighted the pain points in the market that Milestone either resolves or is working to resolve. These include:
* Flexibility: Milestone's technology must be adaptive to current and future market and customer needs.
* Simplicity: there is a great need for simplicity across all the company's products and Milestone is working to implement solutions that are simple to use, but powerful.
* Scalability: the company allows customers to scale from 8-camera solutions up to enterprise-level solutions easily, without having to reinstall software or learn how to use a new application.
* Reliability: this is a core value of Milestone, and is first in its values of reliability, openness, independence, flexibility and innovation.
Biltsted also said that in the past Milestone's partner programme made it too easy for some companies to get accredited, which is unfair to loyal Milestone partners. The skills requirements for accreditation will be increased to ensure that partners have a minimum level of knowledge; this will allow Milestone to vouch for their partners' ability to deliver.
Currently, Milestone has many offices throughout the world and unconfirmed talk at the conference says it may be opening an office in South Africa soon, as well as holding a partner conference in the country. At the same time it has over 6000 global integrators, over 500 partners and over 100 000 end-users in over 95 countries.
Cees Poortman, Milestone VP, EMEA followed with more insight into the services Milestone wants to offer its partners. Following 25% growth for the company in EMEA for 2012 and 40% for the year to date, Milestone is looking to solidify and expand its ecosystem.
To support the full ecosystem, Milestone will expand the services it offers to include more than software. Some of the services partners can expect from the company in future include marketing and pre-sales support, as well as customisation support. Poortman made it clear, however, that Milestone would remain 100% channel focused and was changing the way it operated to expand its leading market position by expanding its partners' capacity to deliver solutions. Enhancing the ecosystem is a win-win for everyone.
The company is also in the process of developing more ways in which partners at various levels can help themselves without having to call a support line and talk to an operator. The Milestone website has been enhanced and will be further enhanced to support this initiative.
Juliette Gustavsson, head of Milestone's corporate marketing reinforced this approach by highlighting the tools the company has made available to partners. Some of these include a YouTube channel with educational content, as well as free 30-day trials of all its software that allows anyone to discover its value. Milestone will also focus on qualifying more leads for the channel.
As part of its improved website, Milestone's Solutions Finder also allows people to discover third-party solutions that have been integrated into Milestone and are designed to solve specific issues. The partner segment of the website will also provide early access for partners to all company information. Gustavsson adds that Milestone will ensure it is in all the places customers will be looking for it to promote the brand and give partners a chance to meet the right people.
Bjorn Skou Eilertsen, VP of the corporate products business unit, highlighted the changes and improvements Milestone has and is making to its product line up to address market needs.
Availability is key for Milestone's XProtect Corporate product and it has had its hot standby speeds improved 10-fold, while its failover is five-times faster than before. It has also extended its clients to mobile devices.
With Milestone's new Interconnect, the company enables customers to manage surveillance and storage equipment from various branches in a 'loosely coupled' federated architecture. This gives control rooms easy and fast access to stored and live video feeds from branches and offices around the world. Interconnect offers partners the opportunity to do more business with clients who may in the past have hesitated to include their smaller remote offices in their surveillance solution.
It has also released Milestone XProtect Expert for medium and large installations. Its central management interface allows large systems with multiple recording servers to be efficiently managed as one uniform system. Using scheduled and event-driven rules, it is easy to automate security actions and control external systems, reducing the amount of manual tasks. Expert has the same features and scalability as XProtect Corporate, but is designed to be a simpler stepping-stone to Corporate without features such as failover.
Finally, Eilertsen says the company is continually looking to simplify the set-up process of its Professional, Essential and Express versions of XProtect. The focus is on ease of use and the speed of installation, and Milestone has advice readily available online.
Christian Bohn, VP corporate marketing and alliances was left to sum up how Milestone was ensuring its software as well as the solutions from its ecosystem are delivering the best solutions and value to customers, as well as more business to partners. He started by explaining how Milestone meets all the requirements on the "open systems checklist": Milestone offers a non-proprietary platform that uses standard IT equipment, its SDK and APIs are readily available to developers, it has established an ecosystem of partners and it offers consulting and support to its channel.
As far as meeting the broadest needs of the market, Milestone added over 500 new drivers to its system in 2012 and supports over 150 manufacturers. It will continue this support and intends to improve its ability to add drivers and support new camera features quickly.
In 2013, we will see a new camera manufacturer programme from Milestone, as well as better integration with its top partners. There will also be stronger ONVIF integration. Bohn also stresses the more stringent requirements for certification partners, as well as better assurance for customers that their certified products will perform as required.
Finally, the company will also be launching a Vertical Specialist Programme with targeted channel partners that have skills in specific markets. In this programme, the company will recommend these partners when requests come in.
Partners take Milestone further
Milestone's partners were also afforded the opportunity to take the stage and talk about what they are doing as part of the ecosystem. IBM's Christian Schnedler, senior public safety consultant spoke on his company's Smarter Cities initiative to "secure a smarter planet".
He noted that security is the most fundamental value a government can offer its citizens and that it is a prerequisite to other values, such as economic growth. The approach Schnedler takes is to treat physical security as data that can be analysed for current and future needs.
He sees the need to get "sensors" into the world to collect security-related data (these sensors can be any security products, including mobiles). The need is then to effectively store, manage and analyse these data to anticipate, prevent or respond to events. Naturally, this extends far beyond the limited scope of security, to include any events or conditions that will affect a city and its inhabitants, such as water availability and purity.
Arecont Vision's Scott Schaffer took the stage to talk about the growing market requirement for smaller, faster and less expensive cameras. However, he noted that with these requirements, customers were still looking for more reliability and higher quality. He says megapixel cameras are still in the early adopter phase and will make an even bigger impact in the surveillance world going forward.
Tom Galvin, president of Razberi Technologies was on hand to talk about his company's all-in-one ServerSwitch appliance running Arcus, a video surveillance platform Milestone designed to be embedded in hardware devices, enabling Milestone's hardware technology partners to deliver customised, market-ready solutions. Milestone pre-configures and embeds the surveillance platform into hardware devices running Linux, Mac OSX or Windows operating systems to produce solutions to a market that increasingly demands low-complexity surveillance solutions.
The ServerSwitch has Linux embedded and can support up to 16 terabytes of storage. Arcus is supplied pre-installed as a low-cost entry-level platform. It offers basic DVR functionality out of the box and is run from a simple Web interface. If Arcus is preinstalled, there are no licence costs. If users want more than Arcus, other Xprotect versions can be downloaded and run on the platform.
These three partners had displays in the exhibition area. More than 20 other companies were also exhibiting everything from cameras, to lighting and storage solutions, physical security products and analytical applications that all function as add-ons to Milestone's core XProtect product.
The attendance, both from the partners as well as exhibitors shows not only the interest in Milestone's software, but also the exciting growth prospects in the MEA region. The Middle East alone is set to outpace every other area in the world in terms of growth this year, and potentially for many years to come. While Africa should be a good target for Milestone's surveillance ecosystem, it remains to be seen how the emerging economies on the continent perform in the coming months and years. And given the pile of prizes won by South African partners, the country is in a good position to capitalise on growth in the region going forward.
Milestone Arcus
Milestone Arcus is an embedded video surveillance platform for low-complexity, low-cost security installations. Milestone Arcus runs on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows operating systems, within network storage and cameras or other devices on the edge.
This is a significant differentiator in today's security market offerings. Hardware partners embedding Milestone Arcus in any kind of hardware form factor will be able to offer a streamlined, video management tool that is simple and easy to install – at competitive price points.
Arcus is a multi-platform VMS solution for hardware vendors to embed in their products, to be sold by their channels as an out-of-the-box solution, ready to use. These embedded solutions will be co-branded with Milestone to let customers know they are getting the best in video surveillance.
About 60% of the physical security market is estimated to be using analogue equipment so there is considerable potential business that will be moving to IP networked solutions over the coming years. "There is conservatively $6B in analogue sales by 2015 that will be converting to IP in the security equipment market, not including service and maintenance. Milestone Arcus opens up new growth opportunities in which hardware vendors can accelerate their business," said Balaji Srimoolanathan, principal consultant, aerospace, defence & security, Frost & Sullivan. "Milestone Arcus is timed right for this trend and can reach the low end of the security market that will be in transition. It will be a major driver, with huge impact in motivating a lot of people to move toward IP."
Hardware vendors who embed Milestone Arcus in their products will gain an advantage from low development costs by using the top-branded Milestone VMS technology. Milestone will provide the integration and software upgrade paths in ongoing new releases.

Trump reportedly said all Haitians have AIDS, Nigerians have huts
DENIS SLATTERY
Dec 23rd 2017 5:10PM
President Trump exploded with vitriolic and racist comments — saying all Haitians have AIDS and mocking Nigerians — during a heated White House meeting about immigration, according to a report on Saturday.
Trump grumbled as he entered the Oval Office, dressing down his national security team and railing against the number of immigrants who had entered the country since he took office.
He said he looked like a fool as the number climbed and he failed to make good on his promise to curtail the number of foreigners coming to America, sources told The New York Times.
Trump fumed at his top security team, reading from a list and complaining that 15,000 immigrants arrived from Haiti.
They "all have AIDS," he said.

He read on, complaining that 40,000 people had come from Nigeria.
They would never "go back to their huts" in Africa, the President griped, a pair of officials told The Times.
Trump exploded at staff and cabinet members, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as John Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security cleared the room of underlings and tried to assert order, sources told the newspaper.
The White House did not deny the heated nature of the meeting, but insisted Trump never used the words "AIDS" or "huts."
Several participants in the meeting told The Times they did not recall Trump using those words and did not think he had.
Frank Sharry, the executive director of America's Voice, a pro-immigration group, said he wouldn't be surprised if the comments came from the President's mouth, arguing that his immigration agenda is motivated by racism.
"He's basically saying, 'You people of color coming to America seeking the American dream are a threat to the white people,'" Sharry told The Times.
Since the beginning of his term, Trump has pushed to curb the number of refugees and immigrants accepted into the U.S.
He has recently railed against chain migration and the diversity visa lottery program — pointing to the deadly lower Manhattan truck attack carried out by Sayfullo Saipov, who came to the U.S. through the lottery program as an example.
He has also used Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi national who attempted to detonate a bomb in the subway near the Port Authority Bus Terminal, who came to the U.S. through chain migration after his aunt was selected through the lottery program.
Chain migration is a term often misused by anti-immigration hardliners. It is essentially the same process that families of immigrants have used to enter the U.S. for generations.
Trump's presidential campaign offered a clear picture of what his White House policies would look like.
Anti-immigration rhetoric and the demonizing of foreigners as a group of people bringing crime or radicalization into the country has permeated the President's speeches and public comments following tragedies and terror attacks.
The nationalist approach to immigration is in part thanks to senior policy adviser Stephen Miller.
The 33-year-old staffer has made restricting the flow of immigrants and refugees to the U.S. his main priority since joining the Trump team.
Miller drew heat in January for the botched roll-out of the Trump administration's initial travel ban that targeted Muslim immigrants.
On Friday, a U.S. appeals court said the most recent version of the ban targeting people from six Muslim-majority countries should not be applied to people with strong U.S. ties.
"We conclude that the President's issuance of the Proclamation once again exceeds the scope of his delegated authority," the panel said.
In June, the same month that tempers flared in the Oval Office meeting, Miller was warring with State Department staffers over reports about the costs of resettling refugees.
When department specialists proposed including refugees' economic contributions in the studies to produce a more balanced assessment, Miller rebuffed the idea, one current and one former U.S. official told Reuters.
Miller's anti-immigration leanings were on full display according to officials who said Miller and the administration wanted to make a case to restrict refugee flows by creating a skewed analysis.
"It's a policy outcome in search of a rationale," a former U.S. official told Reuters.
Miller reportedly targeted Tillerson at the June meeting, according to The Times, blaming him for the high number of foreigners entering the country.
The young adviser has relished his role in combating bureaucracy and overturning decades of immigration policy.
"We have taken a giant steamliner barreling full speed," Mr. Miller said in a recent interview. "Slowed it, stopped it, begun to turn it around and started sailing in the other direction."

When the newspapers are continuously reporting corporate scandals and fraud, it is staggering to realize how common corporate fraud has truly become. Companies are now finding it vital to their continued success to implement measures of protecting themselves against corporate fraud. In fact, it is not at all unheard of for teams of representatives from different companies to be sent to courses that will equip the company with the latest techniques for detecting and handling corporate fraud within their own walls.
Preparation is key to making sure that a company is ready to handle a situation of corporate fraud. Businesses need to recognize that no matter how many things they may do to prevent it, nobody is immune to the possibility of corporate fraud, and they need to be ready to get the organization back on the right track should they become victims.
Of course, knowing how to handle corporate fraud first means knowing how to identify it. Fraud is a strange term that is used to include many different wrongs that may occur within a business. It can include systemic corruption, misappropriation, or even political wrongdoings. Among the most dangerous forms of corporate fraud is what is known as long firm fraud, which occurs when a business is founded on legitimate grounds, and is then lead by certain unethical individuals toward a purpose of defrauding over a long time. This does not mean that every person involved with the business is a part of the fraudulent activities, or is even aware that they are occurring. In many cases, it takes only a few key players to set things in a wrongful direction.
The business begins with a relatively legitimate purpose, because it requires a good credit history and strong relationships with their suppliers. However, once they are prepared with this foundation, they can begin making larger, and more wrongful orders and activities, ready to disappear once they receive the goods or the cash involved. Once they've taken off with the goods, they sell them among various different trading platforms.
Most long firm frauds take approximately two years to establish, run, and then close. This means that the entire operation can occur before legal action can be taken against them.
To avoid the risk of long firm fraud, make certain that any sudden large orders from a relatively short-term relationship are carefully dealt with and questioned - even if that company has been professional and fast to pay in the past. It is also prudent to investigate companies with whom you are building relationships, especially as their demands increase. Find out about the individuals heading these companies and find out if they have been connected with dissolved companies in the past, without any apparent explanation. It can also be discovered if the company has actually been in existence longer than its relationship with you.
By finding out as much as you can about the business, and applying the right amount of common sense, you prepare your company to protect itself against fraud. Remember that if something appears too good to be true, it often is.

Invigor Group teams with GoDaddy to drive software subscriptions
Marketing collaboration with the world's largest domain name registrar.
Conversions from free trial to paid subscriptions are growing
Invigor Group (ASX:IVO) has teamed up with the world's largest domain name registrar, GoDaddy Inc (NYSE:GDDY), to boost Invigor's subscription pipeline in the Australian market.
Under the marketing agreement, GoDaddy's customers will receive a 50% discount during the first three months of their subscription to Invigor's SpotLite platform.
This collaboration is expected to significantly drive subscriptions for Invigor's price-tracking solution, SpotLite.
SpotLite is a cloud-based software-as-a-service platform that provides businesses of all industries and sizes with real-time competitor pricing data and analytics.
The agreement leverages the strong synergies that exist between the SpotLite cloud-based platform and GoDaddy's range of services, which are used by online retail businesses around the world.
GoDaddy has more than 14.5 million customers worldwide and more than 63 million domain names under management around the world.
Since the official launch of SpotLite in February 2017, initial subscriptions have been encouraging with over 20 businesses signing up to use the platform.
Importantly, conversion rates from the free trial to paid subscriptions are growing with both domestic and international businesses as paying customers.
Earlier this week, Invigor's wholly-owned Berlin-based software solutions business, Condat AG, secured an additional $275,000 contract with Germany's largest television broadcaster, ZDF.
This takes the total value of contract wins and extensions by Condat in the past two months to $2.35 million, with its order book for FY2017 at $9.35 million.

En anàlisi numèrica, un mètode multigrid (amb acrònim anglès mètode MG) és un algorisme per resoldre equacions diferencials utilitzant una jerarquia de discretitzacions. Són un exemple d'una classe de tècniques anomenades mètodes multiresolució, molt útils en problemes que presenten múltiples escales de comportament. Per exemple, molts mètodes bàsics de relaxació presenten diferents taxes de convergència per a components de longitud d'ona curta i llarga, cosa que suggereix que aquestes escales diferents es tracten de manera diferent, com en un enfocament d'anàlisi de Fourier a multigrid. Els mètodes MG es poden utilitzar com a solucionadors i també com a precondicionadors.

La idea principal de la multigrid és accelerar la convergència d'un mètode iteratiu bàsic (conegut com a relaxació, que generalment redueix l'error de longitud d'ona curta) mitjançant una correcció global de l'aproximació de la solució de la graella fina de tant en tant, aconseguida resolent un problema gruixut . El problema gruixut, tot i que és més barat de resoldre, és similar al problema de la graella fina, ja que també té errors de longitud d'ona curta i llarga. També es pot resoldre mitjançant una combinació de relaxació i atractiu a quadrícules encara més gruixudes. Aquest procés recursiu es repeteix fins que s'arriba a una graella on el cost de la solució directa és insignificant en comparació amb el cost d'un escombrat de relaxació de graella fina. Aquest cicle multigrid normalment redueix tots els components d'error en una quantitat fixa limitada molt per sota d'un, independentment de la mida de la malla de la graella fina. L'aplicació típica de multigrid és la solució numèrica d'equacions diferencials parcials el·líptiques en dues o més dimensions.

Els mètodes multigrid es poden aplicar en combinació amb qualsevol de les tècniques de discretització habituals. Per exemple, el mètode d'elements finits es pot refondre com un mètode multigrid. En aquests casos, els mètodes multigrid es troben entre les tècniques de solució més ràpides que es coneixen actualment. A diferència d'altres mètodes, els mètodes multigrid són generals perquè poden tractar regions i condicions de límit arbitràries. No depenen de la separabilitat de les equacions o d'altres propietats especials de l'equació. També s'han utilitzat àmpliament per a sistemes d'equacions no simètrics i no lineals més complicats, com les equacions d'elasticitat de Lamé o les equacions de Navier-Stokes.

Hi ha moltes variacions d'algorismes multigrid, però les característiques comunes són que es considera una jerarquia de discretitzacions (grids). Els passos importants són:

 Suavització: reducció d'errors d'alta freqüència, per exemple utilitzant algunes iteracions del mètode Gauss-Seidel.
 Càlcul residual: calcula l'error residual després de les operacions de suavització.
 Restricció: mostreig inferior a l'error residual a una graella més gruixuda.
 Interpolació o prolongació: interpolació d'una correcció calculada en una graella més gruixuda en una graella més fina.
 Correcció: afegir una solució de graella més gruixuda prolongada a la graella més fina.

OK users here is a story for you.It was quite funny and bad for me.One day me and a friend of mine were walking down a street.Were were searching for one of our buds .For some reason the streets in my country are build in a really strange way and every street has a sewer hole in its corner.
So we were walking and searching.Suddenly we decided to take the next street and we turned right. Unfortunately for me right at the corner of the street there was a sewer hole.Most of the times these retarded gypsies who live here steal the tops of the sewer holes which prevent people from falling in.
Unfortunately the top of that sewer was stolen and I fell in it. The felling was terrible.It's like someone takes Earth away from you.In the end I had a minor leg injury.


People move for many reasons: to be closer to family, to get a fresh start, to downsize, or to move closer to the city. Whatever your reasoning, you'll need storage for some of your belongings as you move, even if it's only for short time.
It can easy to throw things away if you're downsizing, but if you're unsure of what's going to stay and what's going to go, then temporary storage is a great option. The following are a few tips to get through the move and what you can move out of your house in the summer months.
Winter Clothes. The major thing you'll be putting away in storage is winter clothes. The summer heat will make it unbearable to wear jumpers and coats anyway, and they'll take up valuable space in your closet.
Blankets. While summer nights are going to be cooler than the days, you won't need winter bedclothes. Unless you're one of those people who can't get to sleep without five blankets covering them, they're just taking up space.
Holiday Decorations. The majority of holidays take place during the winter months. Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year, Thanksgiving and Halloween decorations can all stay in storage.
College Dorm Belongings. The beginning of summer is when many college students take a break from school. Whether moving home for good or just getting a new dorm, they have to get their belongings out of their current dorm room. As parents, you may not have space for all of those extra belongings.
Shovels and Rakes. In the fall, you need a rake and shovel to clear your yard of the fallen leaves. In the winter, a shovel is necessary to get rid of the snow on your sidewalk and driveway. Keep these supplies in storage so your home is free from clutter.
Once you've realized that you need a storage unit for your extra supplies from previous seasons, you want to figure out how much you're storing and what size unit is best. Storage units come in a variety of sizes, so you want to choose a storage company that meets your needs.
If you're just storing season decor and seasonal clothing then you don't need a big unit. A small unit can easily hold a few boxes and one or two larger items. If you need to store your child's dorm things then you should have a unit that is at least a medium size. Medium units can fit several boxes, pieces of furniture, and a mattress. Large storage units are meant for a lot of items or even a vehicle, like a snowmobile.
Other huge factors that you have to consider are the features that the company offers. What do you want your storage to come with? Some common features include drive-up access, climate control, and security. Security is a must if you want to keep your belongings safe. Drive-up access would be convenient, especially if you're transporting heavy furniture. Climate control is a must for those who live in super-hot climates.
Since everyone is looking to pack away their winter worries, summer is the peak season for storage. Storage facilities can fill up fast – contact a facility early if you want to get a unit that fits all the features you need. If you're looking for self-storage in Sun Prairie then contact us at Autumn Wood Storage.
