Many new moms have trouble producing enough breastmilk to feed their babies and keeping up with daily breastfeeding demands. But other women have the exact opposite problem, which is known as hyperlactation syndrome. This is a condition in which a woman's body produces more breastmilk than normal, and this affects both the mom and the baby in different ways.
This article addresses the condition of hyperlactation syndrome in nursing moms and the effects of this syndrome on babies. It will also discus the connection between hyperlactation and infant gas and how new moms can ensure that their babies are well-fed and comfortable.
A new mother's body goes through many changes during and after pregnancy, and her body may be simply overenthusiastic about producing milk in the first few weeks after giving birth. Also, some women naturally have more alveoli than average, which is between 100,000 and 300,000 per breast. Women who have more than this amount are more likely to notice hyperlactation.
One of the most common hyperlactation symptoms is breastmilk that comes out of the breast very quickly and in large quantities. This can make it difficult for a nursing baby to feed properly and digest the breastmilk. Moms may notice that their babies refuse to nurse after just a few minutes of starting feeding. Babies may also spit up after feedings, have excess gas, produce large stools, and exhibit more colic-like behavior when their moms have hyperlactation syndrome. Meanwhile, mothers may feel like their breasts are constantly full, experience leaks between feedings, and feel pain in their breasts.
Infant gas is among the most concerning of symptoms that result from hyperlactation because gas makes babies especially fussy, irregular, and uncomfortable. Gas can result when a baby swallows too much milk at once or gulps in extra air while feeding. In addition to increased bloating, constipation, burping, and flatulence, a baby who is breastfed from a mother with hyperlactation may produce many heavy and wet diapers and stools that are green and frothy in appearance.
The position in which a breastfeeding mother holds her baby has an impact on her milk flow. Try sitting in an upright position to reduce the supply of milk. Another position to try is to lie the baby down and dangle the breast over the baby to encourage full drainage of the breast.
One old wives' tale that some women swear by involves putting cabbage leaves in the bra to slow down milk production. Placing a cool washcloth on the breast has a similar effect. It may also help to nurse from just one breast for a few feedings, a practice known as block feedings. To ease symptoms of infant gas, PediaCare's Gas Drops can provide relief for little ones as young as newborns. And mothers who continue to produce excess breastmilk may be interested in donating to a local breastmilk bank to help other new mothers in need.

Watch your Internet TV, DVR, DVD player, computer monitor, cable, satellite TV (FTA)... anywhere in your house over boradcast TV channels? Yes, you can with BOCS Media Hub. Media Hub is your whole home media distribution device. It accepts 3 composite audio/video inputs and inserts them into 3 channels in the TV frequency spectrum. These channels can be combined with signals from your local TV stations and broadcasted to all your rooms via existing coaxial cables. It is like having three free TV channels of your choice.
You can watch your DVR in your family room, bedroom or basement. There is no need to have a DVR in every location.
To watch Internet TV anywhere in your house, connect the composite video output from the internet streaming device (e.g. Roku, computer) to BOCS Media Hub. You are ready to go.
The Media Hub also has a built-in IR control repeater with a RF remote. It can control the MediaHub and three other A/V devices from anywhere in your house. The RF remote would reduce the number of remotes floating in your house. Even the Roku and MediaHub are in the media room and you are in the bedroom, you still can select and play movies via Roku. You are no longer restricted to watch Roku in the media room only.
Money Saving - Imagine if you didn't have to rent or buy the second Roku, DVR, Set-top box. How much would you save? A typical family with more than 3 TV sets in the house could save more than $300 dollars a year.
Easy Installation - Just merge the MediaHub output and antenna output using a coaxial cable splitter and send the combined signal to other TVs using existing coaxial cable. Then plug other A/V devices into the Red / Green / Blue channels at the back of the MediaHub, pair the remote, and you are ready to go.
Control - You and your spouse are the king and the queen of the house. You should be able to start the DVR recorded movie in the den over a glass of wine, hit the pause button on the remote, put a Do Not Disturb sign on your bedroom door, and finish watching in bed.
Simplified operation - Now you can use your MediaHub remote to control up to 3 A/V equipment in your house replacing their original remotes. Besides, the device selection is color coded. You don't need to remember the special channel number assigned to the device.
No restrictions - Any A/V device which has a composite output can be plugged into the MediaHub. DVR, Roku, TiVo, DVDPlayer or iPod docking stations will all work with MediaHub. There are also adapters, such as the VGA to RCA and the Component to RCA adapters available to connect your PC or Apple TV to the MediaHub.
Please click here to read more about what BOCS can do for you. You can also click here to see a case study on how MedHub can save money.
Connect the MediaHub output to the house main splitter. The next step is to attach A/V equipments to the Red / Green / Blue channels at the back of the MediaHub. Then configure the MediaHub remote to interface with your A/V equipments so you can control them in another room.
In this arrangement, the TV antenna signal will merge with the signals generated from the MediaHub at the coaxial cable splitter and the combined signal will be send to the rest of your house. Now, you can not only watch the Roku movies, but also use the BOCS RF wireless remote to control those A/V equipments anywhere in your house.
The Supercombiner is useful for filtering out several cable channels and is not required with using over-the-air television. Channels filtered out will not be available on the coaxial cable.
Universal Remote - RF wireless remote.
Remote RF Signal Repeater - to improve the remote working range in a large house.

Securasound has launched Guest Lock, a code-operated lock, which it says is ideal for small and boutique hotels who want to do away with room keys.
Guest Lock is a code-operated lock which can be fitted to doors of any sized hotel. On arrival, guests are given a three digit code which they use to programme their own four digit PIN code that they can use throughout their stay. Staff are able to open the lock at any time via a master code or a sub master code which they can use if the guest forgets their PIN or when they need to reset the guest's code on departure.
The system is thought to be ideal for smaller hotels and B&Bs because there is no need to have a central PC or control unit to programme cards and removes any concerns of lost keys.
Guest Lock medium duty is £99.00 plus VAT per lock and and Guest Lock heavy duty is £125.00 plus VAT.
From Securasound at www.securasound.co.uk or call 01948 667600.
Jason Wainwright of Securasound said: "The big advantage with the Guest Lock for hotel owners is that it does away with the need to manage room keys without the expense and hassle of a card/token based system. If you have twin or family accommodation then you don't need to supply multiple keys if guests want to come or go independently of each other, or perhaps you have a family in two rooms with older children, they can set their locks to the same pin code allowing the parents easy access.

When it comes to catching some rays, it can be tough to strike the right balance. Too little sun can lead to a deficiency of vitamin D and disrupted sleep, whereas too much can leave you with a nasty sunburn and a higher risk of developing skin cancer.
Anyone wishing to measure their ultraviolet exposure must currently rely on devices known as dosimeters, which are the size of a name tag or a wristwatch and use a light-sensitive material to calculate exposure to different types of radiation, including sunlight. But these are often expensive, rely on battery packs sensitive to water damage, and must be fastened to clothing with straps or clips, making them cumbersome for a day at the beach.
Enter the minidosimeter. The device—which looks like a button—sticks directly to skin or clothes, even when they're wet. It uses a photodiode, a kind of semiconductor that converts light into electricity, to not only measure the sunlight to which it's been exposed, but for power, eliminating the need for batteries. A tiny antenna sends measurements wirelessly to the user's smartphone.
To test the technology, researchers had volunteers wear multiple chips on different parts of their bodies while participating in a variety of outdoor activities, like hiking and swimming, over 4 days. They also wore a larger, traditional dosimeter for comparison.
The minidosimeter performed just as well as the bigger models, the team reports today in Science Translational Medicine . And because the volunteers could wear multiple minidosimeters at once, they could simultaneously track how much sunlight different parts of the body receive. The device could even have applications beyond the beach, says the researchers, for example monitoring the therapeutic light treatment given to preterm infants with jaundice.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
A spinoff of the long-running Shin Megami Tensei franchise that combines elements of turn-based tactical and traditional RPGs. But is this a successful fusion of gameplay elements, or does Devil Survivor fail to live up to scrutiny?
The first game in the series to be featured on the Nintendo DS, Devil Survivor was one that a lot of fans got excited for, myself included. Having become a fan of the series with Nocturne and later Persona 3 and 4, it seemed like they were on a roll with this series and its relatively newfound popularity in the west.
When I played it, I certainly wasn't let down, either. The game opens with its usual dark mood, punctuated with some kickass metal tunes and some foreboding scenes laying the groundwork for what is to come. As per series norms, it's another grand plot involving demons being summoned into our world via a computer app, somewhat reminiscent of the early games on the Famicom and Super Famicom. However, there are clearly some more modern elements worked in - the game takes place in modern-day Japan and definitely shows it, with the characters' cell phones and apps playing a prominent role in both the story and the gameplay. Another plot point seems to draw inspiration from the anime/manga series "DeathNote"; namely a clock above every players' head, showing how many days they have left to live, with the players' choices and actions able to alter that number.
Devil Survivor's gameplay is an odd beast too. While it appears to be a grid-based tactical RPG at a glance (and it is), there's quite a bit more going on underneath the hood. The player controls up to four human characters as individual units, but each of them can command up to two demons to fight alongside them. Approaching and attacking an enemy will put you into a single turn of a more traditional turn-based RPG combat system, with both sides picking their actions in advance and then carrying them out, then cutting back to the overhead grid view and tallying any experience earned from defeating foes afterward. The center character in each formation (always a human for the party) is designated as the leader; defeating them will instantly remove the unit from the field, though you will get considerably less experience than if you defeat the two side-characters first.
A major strategic element comes in the form of the Extra Turn system. As in games like Nocturne and Persona, units (both friend and foe) can take part in a second turn after if they meet certain conditions - dodging an enemy attack, hitting their elemental weakness, or landing a critical hit with a physical attack, to name a few. Only characters who earned a bonus turn on their first one can partake in this second round; the rest simply stand by while this plays out. Ranged attacks are handled in the same way, though if one is attacking from out of the other party's reach, only they will actually get turns (and usually won't earn extra turns, even if they hit weaknesses or land criticals).
Other elements of the series have a new twist put on them, too. The familiar element of recruiting demons returns, albeit in a different form - rather than negotiating with them in person, you go to a shopping app on your character's phone and purchase them off of an eBay-like website through timed auctions. Bidding aggressively can cause other bidders to drop out, while closer races may come down to the wise, causing everyone still in the running to have to make one final bid once time expires, with the demon going to the highest bidder. Some variation exists even between demons of the same type - others with a higher star ranking may have bonus stats or extra moves to utilizes, while weaker ones can be purchased for cheaper but have lower stats.
As in Nocturne, customizing your party is a huge part of the game's strategy - learning to minimize your party's potential weaknesses and having a good variety of your own skills to exploit enemy weaknesses and heal your own demons is essential to success. Demons come pre-loaded with their own skills, though one can customize them to a degree via the series' usual fusion system - combining two or more demons together to create a new one with some abilities and stat bonuses from the old. Human characters learn skills too, though in a different form - before combat starts, a character must mark a demon with a skill they want and then defeat them over the course of the battle; by doing so, they will "crack" that skill and permanently add it to the party's repertoire. However, only one person in the team can equip a particular skill, so some pre-planning is required to get the most out of them. The game contains no items or equipment, either, so making the most of your skills - particularly HP and MP-restoring ones - is mandatory to complete the game.
Per series standards, Devil Survivor certainly pulls no punches with its difficulty, either. Many battles have added objectives, like protecting civilians or preventing fleeing characters from escaping the field, and one critical in the wrong place can quickly put an end to your efforts there. Missing essential skills, particularly in longer battles, can force you to reset and try again, losing a lot of progress. But more than anything else, boss battles in the game are utterly hellish. Even the first major boss, Beldr, is a nightmare, having a ranged attack that damages everyone on the field and heals himself and being completely immune to all damage, save for one Strength-driven attack that only the protagonist can use after a certain plot point. You almost never get to fight him alone, either, as defeating all of his accompanying demons on the field will just cause more to be summoned, quickly overwhelming you unless you defeat him quickly. It only gets worse from there, too, so being absolutely on-point, well-equipped and having powerful demons at your side every step of the way is essential to win. One can back out and go to certain "free zones" to grind levels if needed, but this tends to become very tedious after a while as experience gains quickly plummet when fighting weaker foes, and as they likely won't offer you any new skills to crack it, only helps to a point anyway.
Devil Survivor, while not the first game to combine Shin Megami Tensei with the turn-based strategy genre, is probably its best effort, really emphasizing the elements of the series in the format well. As usual, its choice-driven narrative with palpable effects (determining what characters will ultimately survive and which of several endings you will earn) give it plenty of replayability. However, its punishing difficulty and often frustrating design make it one that may turn off a lot of less-experienced fans. If you want a real challenge, pick it up, but if you want something to kick back and relax with, this definitely isn't the one for you.
Developer: Career Soft
Publisher: Atlus
Platform: Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS
Recommended version: The updated release for the 3DS (Overclocked) adds some player-friendly improvements such an easier difficulty setting and a compendium that allows the player to recover previously-used demons (at a cost). More demons and skills are added too to further complement particular play styles, and the story is expanded, adding an 8th day to the proceedings as well as voice-over for all of the story scenes.

If pressed to define how I approach programming, the words "pragmatic essentialism" will be used at some point. Do what works and make it as simple as possible to get the job done across time. This manifests itself in various ways in my day-to-day work. One of the rules I try to hold to is that the set up of a project for development should be as localized as possible. Put another way, the ability to test programming work should not depend on network access. Sure, you will need access to your SCM server to get the source code. And the internet generally to read docs, search Google, rant on Twitter about your issue, and find ideas/answers on Stack Overflow. But that's you. The system that you're working on should work on your machine in a way that mirrors the target environment as much as possible.
Note, I am not saying that "it works on my machine" is sufficient. I am saying that if it is feasible that an environment can be set up on my laptop, then that's how it's going to be done. This minimizes external dependencies and enables productivity. If, for example, I'm working on an application that uses a Postgres database for persistence then a local instance is preferable to a remote install. Especially if said install is only accessible on the corporate network (as should be the case). So long as I'm in the office, the latter will work, but if I'm traveling or working remotely then it's just unnecessary friction. It's also unnecessary friction to manage access to that remote database across a team or teams. Now you have to manage different users on that database so that your programmers aren't interfering with each other. You also have to manage one-off settings for all the developers on their machines. Much easier to just configure localhost:5432/db for the local configuration and have everyone move on to solving the real problems.
Tools like Docker and Vagrant have made this much simpler. If you aren't familiar with them, you should be. And the sooner the better. With them, you can run databases, other applications, messaging systems, most of the things that your application depends on. Having said that, there are some things to keep in mind when doing local-first development.
Local datasets are often limited. To keep things light and fast, it's often better in terms of developer productivity to work with a local dataset that is a representative sample of actual data. As with all tradeoffs, there is a downside. Using a small dataset can lead to different behavior patterns between local and deployed instances. If your local database is setup with a 2k SQL script, that's obviously going to be different from your 500GB production database. Which touches on one of the other rules for programming - testing is essential. It's acceptable to prioritize speed in your local development, but only if you have a rigorous testing process that will validate your code against actual conditions. You need at least one preproduction environment with real-world data where you can performance test your changes.
Make it easy to override the local development setup. Sometimes you need to access real services, data sources or environments. Set up your project to facilitate such overrides. This can be with environment variables, command line flags or some other mechanism but make it easy to do without hacking around in multiple configuration files. You especially want to avoid mechanisms that would screw things up when accidentally committed to version control.
Another important consideration in all this is feedback. Local databases are useful and so are all those tests you should have for your application. As with water, food, scotch and other non-negotiables, it is possible to have too much of a good thing and lose sight of the primary goal, productivity. If the feedback cycle for testing is longer than a couple minutes then you need to partition your tests into categories that focus on speed and value. A test suite that takes ten to fifteen minutes to complete is a suite that will not be executed often enough. So run the fast, critical tests frequently and save the full suite for a pre-commit step or your continuous delivery pipeline.
You have choices and tradeoffs to make. If you have a challenging (and likely absurd) deadline twelve weeks out, you should certainly not spend six of those weeks creating a set of doubles to make things work locally. You should, however, still use good design principles and development practices like unit tests. Running locally is not the goal. It's a means to and end, that end being to deliver value and solve problems.
Remember when doing development work, part of the path is opt local.


She realized in a panic that she couldn't answer even basic questions like what they were wearing when they were last seen. She tried to think back to Friday morning, which now seemed like ages ago. Jake had been wearing what, the blue shirt she liked so much because it brought out the color of his eyes? No, he had wanted to dress like his dad again that morning. They both were wearing red that morning. That's right, Jake had his red polo shirt on, the one with the button that refused to remain in place, the collar turned slightly up. He had his khaki shorts on, the ones that were too wide around the waist and sagged down upon his hips, but the ones he liked so much because they resembled his dad's work slacks. His brown hair had been matted down on one side from sleeping hard the night before, his bangs sweeping up desperately in need of another haircut. Charlotte was planning on whipping out the scissors for an at-home cheap trim later this week. This meant that Fletcher must also be wearing his red polo shirt and tan slacks, a pairing that he would not have worn if he was planning a number of first-time prospective sales calls.
Charlotte returned the form to the window and continued to wait, preferring to watch the minute hand of the clock shift rather than meet the eyes of the other people on the benches. Every so often, one would change. The angry woman replaced with a greasy overweight man with scraggy beard who smelled of cheap alcohol, the terrified couple replaced with an aloof teen, blaring music through his ear buds.


Raising a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) sensor The northern Chukchi Shelf receives large inputs of organic matter from the highly productive shelf regions of the North Pacific and from local sources of primary production, including algae in the ice and sediment and phytoplankton in the water column. As a result, highly productive biological "hotspots" have been documented in the vicinity of Hanna Shoal. Because of the biological significance of this region and its importance for oil and gas exploration and development, the team planned a multi-disciplinary investigation to examine the biological, chemical, and physical properties that define this ecosystem.
Previous work in the area has profiled the biogeochemistry of the northern Chuckhi Sea, but this study focused more particularly on the Hanna Shoal region, looking at phytoplankton and zooplankton in the open ocean as well as the physical oceanography through direct measurement of circulation, density fields, and ice conditions.
The Healy icebreaker crosses the Chukchi Sea The team lived and worked from the United States Coast Guard Icebreaker Healy. The USCGC Healy is a research vessel designed to conduct a wide range of research activities and can break through 4 ½ feet of ice continuously. The team traveled to the Hanna Shoal, northwest of Barrow, Alaska in the Chukchi Sea, which may be a sensitive ecological system close to areas planned to be exploited for oil and gas exploration.

Singapore officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia. It lies off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and is 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. Singapore is separated from Peninsular Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to the north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to the south. The country is highly urbanized, and little of the original vegetation remains. Singapore's progress over the past three decades has been remarkable, yet the island has not been overwhelmed by development. Visitors will discover a wealth of historical treasures from the past, in the beauty of older buildings, values and traditions that have survived in the face of profound social and geographical change.

Rachael's Column: The Fight for Equality
8th February, 2018
York has a history of pioneering women from chocolate's Mary Craven to educator Mary Ward but it wasn't until 2015 that York sent a woman to Parliament. 100 years ago, York women, joined forces with women across the country to fight for the right to vote, as depicted so well in last year's York Theatre Royal production of 'Everything is Possible'. Until this point, women were not deemed capable of determining who should govern them, let alone govern themselves.
As the battle for equality gathered pace under the leadership of the suffragettes, women publicly and determinedly made the case that they were equal to their male counterparts. On 6 February 1918 the Representation of the People's Act was passed and while the vote was extended to all men, only some women, those with property and over 30, won the right to vote. It wasn't until 10 years later, in 1928 that all women over 21 could vote. This right came at great cost, and is a reminder why we should all use our vote today.
Progressing further forward towards fair representation, in 1969, the then Labour Government dropped the voting age to 18. Labour are now calling for the vote to be given to all 16 year olds, since they can pay taxes, get married, join the Armed Forces and leave home. They should have a say in the decisions made about them.
The march moves ever forward -; not just on who can vote, but rights for women too.
Having women in Parliament must also mean the challenges women face across the country are addressed. In recent weeks we have been debating sexual harassment, equal pay and maternity rights.
I have been vocal in Parliament about the huge economic inequality between women and men. Women are segregated into lower paid jobs, have greater job insecurity, and receive smaller pensions, not least the WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) women who have had their pensions stolen by a government who changed the rules without informing them.
I am inspired by the amazing women I meet and represent every day. I'm proud that, in York, we have a woman colonel, a woman Dean, a woman Vice Chancellor at York St. John's, women Chief Executives leading charities and businesses across the city and this year an all-women civic party for the first time. However the women who inspire me most are the incredible young women and girls I meet in our schools, the women who come to see me at my constituency surgeries who are battling against the odds to improve their lives and that of their families, and the women who are volunteering and campaigning in our community, all making a difference to our city.
Of course, I'm here to represent everyone, but maybe today, we can just stop and honour the incredible women in our lives -; mothers or daughters, sisters or friends, mentors or leaders, and if you are a woman, pause and recognise your unique gifts and talents too. There is a full programme of events taking place throughout the city for International Women's Week from 3 -11 March and in April, York Labour's Women's Conference will be reflecting on what has been achieved in the past 100 years. I am really looking forward to getting involved to celebrate women's voices in York and beyond.
Despite the progress of the past 100 years, in the fight for equality, there is so much more that we need to do. Whilst we reflect on the achievements made, we must continue to push forward, so that together we can finally deliver a society that is truly inclusive and equal for all.

Q: Best way to use C#-Ressources (ResX Files) in Typescript? our current project is in ASP.Net MVC with Razor.
We use ResX Files for a few thousend translations.
In C# and Asp.net Razor this is pretty easy with HTML:
<div>@Ressources.Local.Test</div>

Now when I wrote JavaScript I normaly did this within the cshtml files with razor like this:
<script>alert('@Ressources.Local.Test');</script>

Which works but seems a bit ugly...
A few weeks ago we starded with Typescript, and, of course excluding (nearly) all javascript code to ts-files.
The only solution we found here, to get the ressources from C# to Typescript is through a "hack":
We made a ressources.cshtml file in which we just include javascript variables:
var ressourceTest = "@Ressource.Local.Test";

We load this ressource.cshtml at first in our _layout.cshtml.
Additional, we have a self need a selfmade declarion for this variable to jump from javascript to typescript in our projectDeclarions.d.ts:
var ressourceTest:string;

And now we can use the ressource in our typescript file test.ts:
alert(ressourceTest);

As you can see it is a working "hack" or "workaround" but it seems to likly kill us for a few thousend ressources... It's handmade, the maintain duration and work is high...
Any better ideas?

A: I have seen a few good ideas around this.
You could supply an JSON endpoint in your MVC application to give you chunks of translations. You would decide how granular you want to make it, but you would essentially JSON serialize a translation, or set of translations and send it back. This would avoid stuffing a big view with hundreds of the things.
Another alternative is to place translations in the view to make them available, but contextually. So if you had a button that you are using to trigger some AJAX call to the server and you need to say "Update Worked" or "Update Failed" you could put the attributes inline...
<button ... data-msg-success="Saved OK" data-msg-failed="A problem occurred" />

And you could populate these attributes with your resources.

IoT security issues 'new type of terrorism', says PTC CEO

Cisco turns mentor in boost for UK start-up scene
- James Nunns Editor
Analysis: CBR spoke to Phil Smith, CEO, Cisco UKI, Alison Vincent, CTO, Cisco UKI and Tom Kneen, Head of the BIG Awards about the challenges facing the UK start-up scene.
Start-ups in the UK are thriving, survival rates are at their highest in three years and part of that is due to support from the likes of Cisco.
Barclays and the Business Growth Fund's bi-annual report found that the number of active companies in the UK has risen from 3,139,630 in December 2014 to 3,260,879 in June 2015.
Cisco's involvement in incubating start-ups has seen the company recently invest $150m into the Internet of Everything start-ups of the UK, the creation of IDEA London, apprenticeship programmes, plus a developer and partnership programme.
Recently the company held the final of its BIG awards (British Innovation Gateway), which saw Nwave Technologies winning and walking away with a $220,000 prize package.
Nwave, a wireless long-range network provider, has the potential to provide connectivity to apps and devices which can't get internet access.
Phil Smith, Chief Executive of Cisco UK&I, told CBR that one of the reasons the UK has a strong start-up scene is that it has the: "Best science base in the world."
Despite this he said that some do have to go abroad to get the funding that they need and in some cases it's easier to develop in the US.
"In the US they have the whole US market to roam in, in Europe it's different," said Smith. Overcoming the challenges posed by borders and different regulatory requirements across Europe can be a struggle.
The creation of start-ups is one step, following this is the need to scale up, something that Cisco can lend a helping hand with, although Smith says: "It doesn't necessary mean scaling technology skills."
Smith says the company offers support through building a partner model, while "some benefit from going to market assistance."
Getting the messaging right and the general business proposition in line is important, Smith said: "It's important to show how you fit in the chain."
Speed is of the essence, as the fast moving tech industry can quickly swallow innovative ideas.
Tom Kneen, Head of the BIG Awards, told CBR: "The truth is that you can probably do that in an 18 month window and that window is closing."
Cisco has helped previous winners such as Snap Fashion and Digital Shadows to make good progress, but it won't support every idea and is willing to call it quits when it doesn't always fit.
"We quite often don't take things forward." Kneen said.
Speed and getting the business model right is one challenge, more come in the form of issues such as trust. The question being if you can trust a start-up security firm?
Alison Vincent, CTO of Cisco UKI, told CBR: "That's where having a relationship with a more trusted provider or certainly a provider like Cisco, which has its own security solutions, that gives them the credibility because they can say look at the backing I have behind me."
Continuing to foster tech growth in the UK requires a strong education backbone that both educates appropriately, but also informs students of potential career paths.
Inspiring innovative start-ups is something that comes from the earliest stages in our development, through education.
Asked if education is offering enough support, Vincent said: "No."
"There isn't enough in terms of visibility in terms of what's possible for a career path and there certainly isn't enough."

I ordered a large box of organic natural treats for the kids, like I said I would, and they have arrived!! We are in the process of taste testing them and so far so good. As I went from package to package and was reading the labels, ingredients and doing some comparisons with food I had in the cupboard I noticed some differences when it came to organic certification and the word "organic" and where it was placed. I have noticed this before and wondered, which means if I've raised an eyebrow, I'm sure you have to!
Let me break it down for you and if you want further information or you just don't get it you can follow the links for more information. Mind you, this is just for the USDA organic seal of approval.
To tote the USDA seal farmers have to produce organic food using particular approved methods that help the environment and they cannot use pesticides, hormones or synthetic fertilizers.
When the food leaves the farm the process continues for the certification and the companies that process, touch, handle or manufacture the food must also follow the organic standards and rules. Does the USDA check this entire process and make sure the steps are followed? That's a completely different post but I sure hope so.
The USDA 100% Organic seal means that all the ingredients and methods to get that food to the store are organic but the restaurant, store or market sells the produce does not need to follow the government rules for the food to be organic.
This one means that at least 95% of the ingredients are organic. The other 5% can be whatever and this isn't so good but better than nothing.
We've all seen these words "made with organic" which means that 70% of the ingredients are organic. Again, better than nothing but no seal of approval so the methods for growing, processing and making the food can be questionable.
With this on the front of the box means that less than 70% of the ingredients are organic but organic wording may appear on the sides of the box or product. Deceiving! Watch out for this one.
Here you see the word organic is only associated with that specific ingredient. What they then do on the packaging on the front…would be interesting to see!
Try to buy products with the seal because at least you know that 95% or more of the ingredients are organic.
It's always best to try and buy local, if possible even if the food isn't organic. It will be fresh and won't have had to travel so far. Most local farmers can tell you what methods they use. If you can talk to the farmer and look him in the eye, it's a good thing.
Try to choose organic foods that are from the list the "dirty dozen". These are the foods that have the most amounts of pesticides on them and pose the biggest health threat.
Use your common sense and follow your gut.
Good words! My family eat as much organic as we can, and/or we buy from labels we trust. There are some labels out there (I won't mention names) that have an organic product alongside the same exact non-organic product and it seems odd to me. Why would someone market a non-organic product if they know the truth about pesticides etc? That's not okay!
We also go to the Farmer's Market. It feels good to support a guy (or gal) who might not have the money to get the organic certification, but tells you that he/she is being responsible in their growing practices.

Irish History from the heart of Dublin City.
Michael Collins and members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood during the Irish War of Independence were regulars to the Wicklow Hotel where Mary's bar now sits.
Michael Collins was an Irish revolutionary leader, politician and Government Minister. He was a key figure in bringing the British Empire to a standstill as a result of his successful 'Guerrilla Warfare' tactics during the War of Independence.
In October of 1921, Collins travelled to London to represent the Irish government in peace talks with the British government.
Negotiations ended with an offer of a 26 County Republic of Ireland being formed, with 6 counties in Northern Ireland to be left under British Rule, which resulted in civil war in Ireland.
The Wicklow Hotel was a regular meeting point and place of leisure for Michael Collins and his associates who frequented the hotel for midday dinner or evening drinks, where all the staff knew them.
On the 28th of January 1921, the head porter of the Wicklow Hotel was shot dead in the hallway of the hotel. All eye witness statements led to Collins and his men being behind the execution.
But why would Collins be involved in the shooting of head porter Doran? Because Collins and his men had been informed that Doran was also working as a spy for the British, providing information to the Deputy Chief of British Intelligence in Ireland, Colonel Hill Dillon.
Joseph Dolan, a notorious member of the squad from Co Dublin, recalls the events at Wicklow St.
The death of Doran wasn't the only piece of Irish history to take place here. A shooting in March of 1920 took place just outside of Mary's on Wicklow Street, again involving a spy who was suspect of working for Colonel Hill Dillon, Private Brian Fergus Molloy.
All of this information has been extracted from original witness statement reports and has been further supported with online sources.

Magistrate Trevor Black did not hold back when he addressed a Torres Strait Islander man with a long history of tormenting his wife.
"You've been nothing but a thug and a bully," Mr Black said.
Yet it was a grey-haired woman seated near the magistrate's bench that really made the man hang his head in shame.
"[Your wife] feels degraded," Aunty Leila Savage said.
"It's not nice for a man to do that. You have to love her like you love yourself. We expect you'll do better now and look after your wife."
It was just one example of the good cop, bad cop approach seen in the Cairns Murri Court.
The Queensland court program was set up in 2002 to tackle the state's staggeringly disproportionate rates of Indigenous incarceration.
It today operates in 14 courts across the state and hears about the cases of about 800 people a year.
It only admits Indigenous offenders who are pleading guilty, and it requires them to meet regularly with volunteer elders for months before they are sentenced by the courts.
The pay-off is defendants overwhelmingly avoid jail time because they have proven ahead of sentencing they are willing to rehabilitate.
"I call it the carrot and stick approach," Mr Black said.
It is a vastly different approach to the churn of mainstream courts, where there is far less time for pre-sentencing intervention and prison time can be dished out in minutes.
"At the court downstairs, they send you straight to Lotus Glen Prison," Mervyn Weatherall, another Cairns Murri Court elder, said.
"There's nothing like Murri Court."
David Daffey is a Kuku Yalanji man who, after years of repeat offending and court appearances, went through the "totally different" Murri Court system in Cairns.
"It was my mob, my people. You feel more at ease," he said.
Some may argue the Murri Court goes easy on offenders, but Mr Daffey said it was the opposite, because it forced him to contemplate his actions.
"All in all, I would never reoffend again. I know that for sure," he said.
Mr Black said he had witnessed many turning points.
"Some of the most emotional scenes that I've ever seen in a courtroom have been Aunty Leila talking to men about how hurtful domestic violence is [while] their partner is in the room," he said.
"You'll see young men, who've never in their life apologised for their animalistic behaviour, finally saying they're sorry."
For the elders, it comes down to a personal touch.
Their volunteer work goes far beyond advocating for the offender in the courtroom. It includes liaising with drug and alcohol services, family counsellors, welfare groups, and writing advocacy letters.
Many [offenders] have found themselves homeless or disenfranchised from their Indigenous culture, Aunty Leila said.
"It can take several visits before they give you the slightest hint that they're opening up," she said.
"We have them over for cups of tea. They bring their children and their wives, and I have a growl [with the offenders] and say you need to work together and do not hit her."
Despite its anecdotal success, Mr Black said the Murri Court was not for everybody and there are still those who dropped out, re-offended or expected leniency for nothing.
Photo: Elders meet regularly with those going through Murri Court in the months leading up to sentencing.
He also acknowledged the Indigenous incarceration rate remained unacceptably high in Queensland.
Rather than falling, the percentage of Queensland prisoners who are Indigenous has actually risen since the Murri Court's inception, from 27 per cent in 2006 to 31.8 per cent in 2016.
At the moment, most of the state's Murri Courts are only held monthly, with less than 70 people going through the program a month.
These numbers are only the very tip of the iceberg, Mr Black said.
"I would like to see a lot more interventionist courts and a lot more opportunities for custodial officers to explore other options [than jail]," he said.
"Sometimes it seems like a custodial sentence is a first resort, rather than a last resort. That shouldn't be the case."
It is a particular issue for young offenders, with an Amnesty International report last year saying the state's Indigenous children were 22 times more likely to be detained than non-Indigenous children.
The Murri Court in Cairns is funded to handle juvenile matters but is currently not accepting young offenders, and it is not the only Murri Court in this situation.
Mr Black said he needed more elders before his court could handle juvenile offenders, as well as more specialist training for those volunteers.
Elder Mervyn Weatherall said juvenile offenders were tough to deal with.
"They swear at you in court," Mr Weatherall said.
As well as training, the Murri Court system has also grappled with long-term security, with its core government funding only reinstated last year after being cut by the former state government.
"Funding is always a concern as it ebbs and flows with different governments," Murri Court defence lawyer Andrew Denison said.

Six solitary animals that have mastered social distancing
While some of us are finding it hard to adapt to social distancing and self-isolation, some animals like the solo life.
Together, we are all facing challenging times but our work to protect wild animals like these never stops.
Many people in countries hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic are struggling to avoid contact with others and stay at home.
But social distancing is common for many animals, with possible exceptions for mating and raising their young, these seven solitary animals spend most of their lives without the company of others.

Sloths are slow and solitary animals who only gather in groups when they are going to mate.
Tigers love alone time so much they claim large areas of forest all to themselves once they're old enough to leave their mothers.
Pangolins are perfectly protected in scales and adapted to living life solo except when coming together to mate.
Orangutans prefer to spend their lives alone hanging out in trees, only meeting others when it's time to mate.

Sea Turtles will meet up for mating and nesting seasons, when these sea animals will get together in groups, but otherwise they're happy on their own.

Female koalas usually stay in home ranges while male koalas are travellers, except for larger dominant males. If male koalas cross paths, they may get into fights.

Do you need home gas line inspection? In most cities, gas providers require gas line pressure testing to be conducted for specific situations. One example of this occurs when your home has an extended period of time with no gas service in your home. Providers will need an inspection prior to turning the service back on. New, altered, or upgraded gas lines will also need an inspection before they are able to be turned on. In fact, whenever you feel that there is a chance of an unseen leak in your gas lines, especially during periods of non-use, you should schedule an inspection. When you need gas line pressure testing in the Tujunga, CA area, call the Twin Town Plumbing and Rooter professionals at (818) 748-8615 to schedule your appointment.
Pressure tests typically require a few processes. This project requires a permit which can be received by the owner of the home or by a licensed plumber such as a Twin Town Plumbing and Rooter team member. Our experts use a professional grade, approved gauge to conduct the pressure test with total accuracy and dependability. Gas line pressure testing usually lasts for a minimum of 15- 20 minutes for averagely sized systems, and can vary according to your individual needs. Our professionals can go over your inspection with you and deliver affordable, reliable options for every issue such as pressure imbalance or aged fittings. Our experts can also ensure that your pipe materials are up to code and that any needed vents and flues are present and working.

Processed by Juliet Demeter in 2006.
Kenneth S. Pitzer was born in Pomona, California on January 6, 1914, the son of noted philanthropists Russell K. and Flora Pitzer. He attended the California Institute of Technology, where he received a B.S. in chemistry in 1935 and completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in 1937 under the direction of distinguished chemist Wendell M. Latimer.
In 1935 Pitzer married Jean (Mosher) Pitzer. They had three children: Anne E. Pitzer, Russell M. Pitzer, and John S. Pitzer.
After graduation, Pitzer was appointed to the faculty of the U.C. Berkeley College of Chemistry, where he spent the better part of his career serving first as Instructor from 1937-1939, Assistant Professor from 1939-1942, Associate Professor from 1942-1945 and finally as Professor from 1945-1961. He was also Dean of the College of Chemistry from 1951-1960.
During World War II Pitzer took a leave of absence from teaching and went to work for the United States Government first as consultant for the National Defense Research Committee, Office of Scientific Research Development, where he researched meteorology for the U.S. Army. As Technical Director of the Maryland Research Laboratory from 1943-1945, Pitzer developed time delay devices which were used to disrupt rail systems in Germany. From 1949-1951, he again left Berkeley to serve as Director of Research for the Atomic Energy Commission. In addition, he served on the President's Science Advisory Committee from 1965-1968.
In 1961, Pitzer became president of Rice University in Houston, Texas and left in 1968 to assume the presidency of Stanford University until 1970. In 1971 he returned to Berkeley where he served for 13 more years becoming Emeritus Professor in 1984. Pitzer also served as trustee for many colleges including Mills College, Harvey Mudd College, and Pitzer College, founded by and named for his father. In the last decades of his life, he provided continuing support for Pitzer College endowing several scholarships and professorships.
In addition to teaching, Pitzer authored several books including Thermodynamics and Quantum Chemistry, which he co-authored with Leo Brewer. Over the course of his career, he published over 350 articles in various scientific journals including the Journal of the American Chemical Society for which he also Pitzer served as Associate Editor from 1944-1945.
For many years, Pitzer worked as a consultant in the private sector, serving on the board of directors for the American Petroleum Institute, Union Carbide Corporation, United States Rubber Company, the Rand Corporation, and Owens- Illinois.
Among the numerous awards and fellowships he received during his career were a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Clark Kerr Award, the Priestly Medal of the Chemical Society, the Berkeley Citation, and the Robert A. Welch Award in Chemistry. In 1974 Pitzer was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Gerald R. Ford.
Professor Pitzer retired from UC Berkeley in 1985, but continued his research in thermodynamics and quantum theory until his death. He died of heart failure on December 26, 1997.
The Kenneth S. Pitzer Papers, 1915-2000, consist of correspondence, writings, reports, and research materials spanning Pitzer's career in the field of physical and theoretical chemistry from the 1930s until his death in 1997. The bulk of the collection is made up of correspondence, research materials, and writings relating to his pioneering work in methods for calculation of thermodynamic properties of complex molecules. Also included are materials relating to Pitzer's work for the United States Government, his private sector research and consulting, and a small amount of biographical material.
The collection has been divided into eight series: Correspondence, Writings, Academic Files, United States Government, Private Sector Research and Consulting, Professional Affiliations, Research Files, and Biographical Materials.

William Shatner, who has been Priceline's pitchman for the past 14 years (!), makes his last plea for customers to negotiate their best deal in his final ad for the company, which has decided to retire the campaign and move on to something new.
Like another one of Shatner's iconic characters, he plunges to his death in order to save others.
And blows up real good.
It's an odd end to an odd advertising campaign. Farewell, Priceline Negotiator. You will be missed.
Shatner does his duty. He makes an appearance as the trusted persona he has been portraying for years. Would that we all could learn from his lesson.
I discovered your site looking for reviews of BSG, which I'm just watching now on Netflix for the first time. I wish you wrote more… your reviews of BSG are totally professional and amazingly well-written. Thank you! It's fun to be able to read someone else's take on the episodes.
Believe me, I wish I wrote more too. And I will again. Just a matter of fitting it back into my schedule. It'll happen.
Can someone write down the last line of the Shatner ad that the lady says. is it supposed to be funny?
I should point out that not only is Priceline blowing up the Negotiator, they're doing away with the "name your own price" business model entirely. Now they'll just be offering fixed low prices like pretty much all their competition. Hard to keep the Negotiator on staff if you can't negotiate anymore, hence the explosive end to the character.
