Recent Microsoft Teams Outages Cause Concern for Enterprise
During the pandemic, Microsoft Teams became a lifeline for businesses everywhere, especially at the enterprise level. In fact, over 500,000 organizations use Microsoft Teams as their default messaging platform. Yet, despite Microsoft's impressive success, worldwide outages have caused a ripple of unease in recent months.
A Wave of Recent Microsoft Teams Outages
On September 28, 2020, a massive outage occurred in the United States that stayed unresolved for several hours. Users of Microsoft products like Teams, Outlook, Office 365, and Azure could not access their accounts. Microsoft was able to get everything back up and running but over the next few days in early October, more sporadic outages followed without explanation.
More recently in March 2021, a worldwide outage remained unresolved for more than four hours as millions of subscribers scrambled for answers. Microsoft stated that the issue was caused by "a recent change to an authentication system" and rolled the change back. Then on April 1st, 2021, Teams had another brief interruption due to a DNS issue affecting multiple Microsoft 365 and Azure services.
Should Enterprise Be Wary of Teams?
While the team at Microsoft quickly solved these problems and fully restored their messaging platform, these recent incidents have raised concerns in the enterprise world. These outages may seem like temporary inconveniences from a casual first glance, but cutting communication capabilities can have severe business consequences, especially since so many companies depend on digital solutions to replace their physical offices. Even just a few hours of downtime can lead to massive financial losses in certain industries.
Microsoft Teams is an impressive platform, but the repeated outages reveal that they are still working out some wrinkles while adding new security and functionality. It is important to remember that Teams isn't as mature as other prominent players in the space, yet still receives high adoption rates from being a natural fit within the Microsoft Office platform. Even though Microsoft is a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader in UCaaS, these growing pains will likely continue for their 115 million daily users.
An Alternate Course for Microsoft Teams Users
If you are worried about the business impact of an outage or service disruption, you may consider adopting some other more established unified communications solutions that offer financially-backed 99.999% uptime SLA's. For instance, RingCentral offers a Microsoft Teams integration that allows collaboration and sharing across the RingCentral platform, and allows chats, messaging and file sharing to continue normally even during an occasional Teams outage.
For more information about Microsoft Teams or the ideal cloud communications deployment for your enterprise organization, check out our Microsoft page or reach out to us directly.

5.14 Desalination
In many parts of the world, surface water or non-saline groundwater stocks are not adequate to satisfy the water demand. While one may immediately think of the Middle East as being one such area, it is less obvious that many islands (e.g. the Canary Isles, Madeira, the Channel Islands) also suffer the same problem. In such circumstances, people have been forced to consider the sea and brackish underground aquifers as water sources. To make these saline waters potable, the salt has first to be
5.9 Membrane filtration
Membrane filtration is a process whereby particles smaller than about 10−2 mm (which can pass through sand filters) are removed using synthetic polymeric membranes and a high pressure. The membrane effectively acts as a sieve.
It is increasingly becoming popular as an advanced treatment process for water (especially for removal of Cryptosporidium) and wastewater (where water reuse takes place), and various possibilities are:
5.7.1 Mixed oxidant gases system
This is a relatively new system of disinfection. It involves electrolysis of high-purity NaCl brine to produce a mixture of chlorine dioxide, ozone and hypochlorite. This mixture is separated within the electrochemical cell by a membrane, or by exploiting density difference, and is then metered into the water requiring disinfection. The mixed oxidant gases are generated on demand and this is a great safety advantage, compared with having storage tanks of chlorine on site. The source for the d
3.4 Chemical characteristics of natural waters
Since water is such a good solvent, it is not surprising to find many different chemical substances present in it. Water, on reaching a river, will contain inorganic and organic compounds which were dissolved as rainwater percolated through the soil and rocks. In addition, some gases will dissolve in rainwater during its passage through the air.
The substances present in water may be conveniently grouped into:
those from dissolved gases such as o

Medicine transformed: on access to healthcare
Access to healthcare is important to all of us. Did the arrival of state medicine in the twentieth century mean that everyone had access to good medical services? If you fell sick in 1930 where could you get treatment from a GP, a hospital, a nurse? This free course, Medicine transformed: On access to healthcare, shows that in the early twentieth century, access to care was unequally divided. The rich could afford care; working men, women and children were helped by the state; others had to rely

This free course explores controversies associated with the practice of 'veiling' within Islam. The Islamic 'veil', be it in the form of the hijab, niqab, jilbab or burqa (we shall explore this terminology in more detail later), has been at the centre of many different controversies. Many of these controversies can be understood in the context of debates about different citizenship models and different understandings of the roles, rights and demands of faith groups in society. In some instances,

5.4 Assessing Hume's views
The main value of Hume's essay lies in its discussion of our duties to God. Here Hume's arguments initially seem quite convincing. But arguments almost always seem convincing when they are first heard and understood. The real test comes when we try to think of possible objections. Here is one such objection, based on what has become known as the problem of evil, the problem of reconciling God's benevolence and omnipotence with the fact that evil exists in the world:
6 The Thermidorian Settlement and the end of the Revolution
In Thermidor (July) 1794 there was a further political coup, this time engineered by deputies in the Convention who felt that Jacobin fanaticism, mob violence and bloodshed had got wildly out of hand and feared for their own lives. They succeeded in outmanoeuvring Robespierre, who was arrested and (after a botched suicide attempt) guillotined together with over 100 other Jacobins. The Thermidorians then put a stop to show trials and bloodletting. They also called in the army to put dow
3.1 The moderate reformers
1789–92 was a period of relatively moderate reform in the spirit of the Enlightenment – moderate, that is, compared with what followed. It was certainly revolutionary in relation to what went before. The Constituent Assembly (August 1789–September 1791) and its successor, the Legislative Assembly (October 1791–August 1792), comprising educated members of the Third Estate joined by liberal-minded nobles and clergy, were satisfied with the transformation of absolute monarchy into
1.4 The economics of maintaining a heritage site
The National Trust operates within a complex web of funding. This comes from annual membership fees and from visitor receipts at individual sites. Each National Trust property is responsible for raising the income necessary to fund its own conservation activities and further development (although a large minority of sites cannot cover their costs). Properties raise this income through visitors charges and from catering, shop sales, etc. Failure to raise sufficient income can lead to job losse
1.2 Aberdulais Falls and the National Trust
When the National Trust took over the Aberdulais Falls and the associated buildings, the site was derelict, overgrown and dangerous. Prior to the Trust's ownership, public access to the Falls over the land surrounding it had been denied. Important decisions had to be taken regarding the future of the site.
The A465 slices through the site and the suburbs of Neath have encroached on the river bed on both sides.

Buy, install, try it out, and return if needed, it is as simple as that. Simply look for the RallySportDirect Guarantee on your favorite products!
We know what it's like to purchase parts for our car, we have been there before and we know how frustrating it can be to install a part only to realize it was not exactly what you wanted. Whether the exhaust you ordered is too loud or too quiet, or the shift knob you thought was going to be perfect, just does not quite fit right. We are here for you.
The RallySportDirect Guarantee allows you to simply remove the item from your car, and send it back to us. It really is that simple. We will give you a full refund minus the shipping costs, so you can order a different product that you will be happy with.
We want you to be able to order with confidence, knowing that you can buy, install and try out any product under the RallySportDirect Guarantee, and if you are not 100% satisfied with the product, just send it back.
Go ahead, Install that parts, we don't mind if it's used or a bit dirty. If you are not happy with the part for any reason, you have 30-days from the time of the invoice to install it, try it out, and return it back to us. If the part does not meet your satisfaction for whatever reason, give us a call, email, or hit us up on Live Chat, provide the Customer Service Agent with your order number, and they will provide you a RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number which you will note somewhere on the outside of the shipping box. Pack up the product, and ship it back to us at the address provided. Once we receive the product, give us a few days to process the RMA, and you will soon see the money back in the same account you used as the method of payment. Please note we do not refund shipping of any kind.
Buying car parts is never easy. You search for hours on the forums and social media groups trying to get honest reviews and opinions from people, but you know that what might be perfect for one person, is not great for another. You can do all of your due diligence, yet once the part is on the car, you may not be happy with some aspect of it, and that is where we come in. Most companies will offer some form of return but usually with a restocking fee, and most won't let you return anything that has been installed. We wanted to be different. We started out as enthusiasts, and know exactly what it's like to be on your side of the counter and we would have loved a program like this when we were trying to build our cars, so we did it! There is no trick, we just want to make sure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your purchase.
What is the difference with a normal return policy and the RallySportDirect Guarantee?
If a product does not fall under the RallySportDirect Guarantee, we have our standard return policy which states that the product must be un-opened, un-used and in perfection condition. With the Guarantee, you can install the product and still return it in the same fashion.
When shipping an item back to us, we recommend you use a shipping method with a tracking number, that way you can track the progress all the way to us. Once we receive the package, please give us a few business days to process the RMA and issue the refund. Often times it may take the banks or financial institutions a few days to process the refund as well.
We ask that the returned product include 100% of the original hardware and packaging and be free from any modifications of any kind.
My return is out of the 30-day window, what can I do?
Unfortunately we have a very strict return policy, any request for a return after 30-days from the invoice date will be refused.
Why won't you refund my shipping?
If we could, we would. Because shipping is handled by a 3rd party (UPS, FedEx, USPS etc.) they must get paid anytime a package is shipped. We strive to make the return process as easy as possible, but this is out of our hands and we must state that shipping is strictly non-refundable.

Comment: The rise of the connected patient
Jamie Clifton, head of innovation and research at BridgeHead Software, looks at how internet-enabled medical technologies can modernise disease management and diagnostics, empowering patients and enabling truly-person-centred care
The last two decades have resulted in many healthcare advancements that have not only increased medical care standards, but also improved overall health.
While there has been great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses; the structure of care delivery hasn't changed much.
Predominantly, the healthcare system is based on a break-fix cycle that sees sick or acutely-ill patients visit medical practitioners so they can diagnose appropriately and try to deliver a remedy.
For instance, if someone doesn't feel well, they may book an appointment with their GP, receive a referral to a specialist, have scans or tests, collect the results, and then have the required treatment.
Internet-enabled medical technologies have great potential to modernise disease management and diagnostics, empowering patients, and enabling truly-person-centred care
But times are changing and, increasingly, we're seeing a sharper focus on preventative care, with patients being encouraged to take a more-active approach to their wellbeing.
The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, made his long-term vision clear, announcing that the NHS will start shifting emphasis towards preventative healthcare and calling on people to take greater responsibility for their own health by quitting smoking, staying active, and reducing alcohol, salt, sugar and fat intake.
The move to a more-pro-active approach comes at a time when obesity-related hospital admissions rose 15% in a year and smoking represents 4% of all hospital admissions.
To make this happen, and give people the means to take control of their care; Hancock is focused on improving the efficiency of IT services across the NHS and allowing GPs to choose technologies that best meet their needs.
However, the key to preventative care isn't just about telling people what to do, it's about engaging with them and providing technology that enables them to closely monitor themselves.
When talking about the introduction of the new NHS health checks last month, Hancock explained that: "Personalised, preventative healthcare is mission critical to the future-fit healthcare service we want to build. We must harness the latest technology and techniques to move away from the one-size-fits-all approach of the past."
Technology to the rescue
Internet-enabled medical technologies have great potential to modernise disease management and diagnostics, empowering patients, and enabling truly-person-centred care.
There is no doubt that IoMT will transform healthcare and redefine how devices and people interact and connect with one another, providing new tools and efficiencies to ensure patients are better cared for, costs are reduced, and treatment outcomes are greatly improved
The rise of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is being driven by a growing number of connected medical devices that are able to create, collect, analyse and communicate data or images to healthcare providers or cloud repositories.
Connectivity between devices enables real-time patient care; and technologies, such as fitness trackers and smart inhalers (which monitor when and how effectively patients take medicine) can offer virtual health assessments for patients either at home or during a hospital stay.
Data such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, activity or weight levels, can be transmitted from an application or the device itself to show how a person's health is evolving, providing the ability to streamline clinical processes and information flows as well as improve healthcare delivery.
As hospitals and healthcare providers begin to use more connected technologies to monitor health and wellbeing, they will also need to get to grips with the management of the vast amount of data from medical wearables, connected imaging devices, and monitoring technologies.
The emergence of IoMT data
While IoMT looks set to revolutionise the face of healthcare; as always with new technology, there are concerns that need to be addressed.
The process of merging connected medical devices into established care pathways is a challenge that requires significant co-operation from multiple stakeholders, stringent security and a centralised approach.
For information to move freely, medical technology companies will need to work with healthcare providers to grant access to the data, allowing it be shared from the devices, collated and analysed.
Once gathered, IoMT data will need to be managed, stored, protected and easily accessible to clinicians (with the appropriate permissions) through a hospital Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system or clinical portal.
An independent clinical archive (ICA) is well positioned to manage data from connected medical devices, as it provides a standard-based repository, independent of the application, for a wide array of patient data from across the healthcare ecosystem.
Whether data is structured or unstructured, an ICA is able to centrally store, protect, and manage a variety of information such as clinical images, scanned patient documents through to observations and medications.
By capturing a range of meta-data for the ingested information, an ICA enables quick and easy discovery and retrieval by clinical staff, available directly through the hospital's primary EPR, offering access to a rich patient record and visibility of connected medical device data.
As hospitals and healthcare providers begin to use more connected technologies to monitor health and wellbeing, they will also need to get to grips with the management of the vast amount of data from medical wearables, connected imaging devices and monitoring technologies
Managing patient records centrally prevents information sprawl, i.e. the persistent scattering of data across disparate systems and devices across a hospital. But, it also makes it easier to protect and preserve valuable patient information and mitigate security risks, such as cyber attacks.
Most importantly, by consolidating medical data, clinicians gain a full picture or 360-degree view of a patient's medical history on which to base care decisions.
There is no doubt that IoMT will transform healthcare and redefine how devices and people interact and connect with one another, providing new tools and efficiencies to ensure patients are better cared for, costs are reduced, and treatment outcomes are greatly improved.
Accessibility to IoMT information will be key to its widespread adoption and, increasingly, we will see the evolution of a digital ecosystem where data is stored, protected and shared from a central platform.

i know how hard it can be to discern God's will. our family is right in the middle of a huge transition, and things are very muddled. our church has gone through some outrageous things over the last couple of years, we've struggled with our sense of calling, and we're moving on to where we believe (hope) God is leading us. but i think things would be a whole lot worse if God hid His plans for us in a cosmic game of hide and seek. when i'm being honest, it's me who plays games with God, not the other way around. rationalizing, hiding, venting, pouting… that's on me, not on Him.
i want to have confidence in God, even when i can't see clearly. i'm not there yet, but that's where i want to be – relying on our God of hope who redeems.
