Business and Technology Benefits of Having DBaaS Enabled
09 May 2018	 Hits: 992
DBaaS, or a database cloud, is becoming a very popular concept with organizations of all sizes across the spectrum of industry. Placing database infrastructure concerns with the DBaaS provider frees an organization's IT and technology departments to focus at an organization level rather than at an application or department level. With the focus at an organizational level, the IT and technology teams are more closely aligned with the organizational and business needs. The fundamental requirements of an organization have never really changed—they have always aimed for lowered operational expenses (OPEX) and total cost of ownership (TCO). What has changed is the emergence of new platform architecture and software technologies that, working together, deliver on those needs. The opportunity to reduce OPEX and TCO is precisely what is driving the improved acceptance and adoption rate of DBaaS.

Main findings about DBaaS implementations
Вас заинтересует / Intresting for you:
Let's look at some of the intrinsic benefits of deploying DBaaS, which include the basic benefits associated with any cloud solution:
Time-to-market: The nimbleness with which a company reacts and adapts to changing market conditions, competition, and consumer needs and expectations is critical. A core component of any cloud solution is self-service and automation. With a well-planned cloud solution, there is no need to deploy hardware for new projects, and with self-service and automation, the business units become more self-reliant.
Scalability: The combination of inherent concepts of elasticity, consolidation, and resource pooling at a wider organizational level drives scalability in a cloud computing environment. For custom built solutions, the value and benefit of this automatic scaling is even more potent and impressive.
Empowerment: Cloud computing solutions typically have a web-based interface for users. They can be accessed by employees, customers, and partners no matter where they are. With a cloud database, everyone gets to work with the same set of information, and spreadsheet chaos is a thing of the past.
Availability: Combining the benefits of standardization (hardware, software, procedural best practices) and empowerment (self-service, on demand scalability) automatically delivers improved availability.
Let's go a step further and look at why databases are worthy of their own class in the cloud solution world. We do not see phrases such as "application servers as a cloud" or "web servers as a service" or "exchange servers as a service." Logically and technically, these concepts can exist, but they do not. Why is that?
Databases are used to store data. As we are all aware, the amount of data being generated, used, and stored is growing exponentially. This ever-growing volume of data needs to mined and analyzed to generate intelligent, actionable information. Now, more than ever, data means everything—it drives financial, operational, and tactical decisions and strategies in every business. But along with all this data come the headaches of tasks such as managing performance, scaling capacity, and backup and recovery strategies.
Databases are often considered the single point of serialization of application processing and logic, usually because application design is not focused on how databases work or the best way to use them. What this means is that designing, managing, and performance tuning databases represents a unique set of skills and talents.
From a computing perspective, resource consumption characteristics and performance needs of a database are unique in nature. Databases, especially untuned databases, can be resource hogs when it comes to storage, CPU, and network resources.
Scaling of databases also presents unique challenges. Scaling can directly impact expenditure on multiple components of the platform and infrastructure, including on the storage subsystem (due to storage volume or performance) and on throughput (in IOPS or MBps).
Database are a complex component of the application stack. Consequently, the underlying database technology can potentially have a severe impact, positive or negative, on the overall scalability, availability, business continuity, and performance aspects of any given application. When the applications in question are business critical and/or revenue generating, the potential for impact makes the databases a very visible, highly scrutinized component.
From an economics perspective, databases can prove to be one of the costliest, if not the costliest, component of any given application deployment. The database's application stack, for example, can drive the overall solution cost in the following ways:
Database licensing costs and annual support costs.
Database-specific infrastructure costs, especially those driven by performance initiatives, such as high-performance compute servers, high-performance storage, and in some cases even high-performance networking.
Staffing and resourcing costs for maintaining the database (design, administration, performance tuning, etc.).
Cost of high-performance backup management, storage systems, and infrastructure based on the uptime, recovery point objectives (RPOs), and RTO expectations. (In today's age of data explosion, databases tend be quite large, and database backup and recovery becomes key.)
Cloud computing, as a concept and a solution, is aimed at resolving these economic concerns. When you add the uniqueness of databases to the mix, you can see the value of deploying a database cloud, or in other words, deploying a DBaaS solution.
Moving an organization's IT infrastructure from the old server-based model to a cloud-based model can be a daunting task, regardless of whether the destination is a private cloud or a public cloud. Implement a cloud solution on a very focused, self-contained technology stack, such as database technology, can be a very useful first step into cloud computing.
The toolkit available for database technologies is wide, extensive, mature, and multivendor in nature. The same is true for the infrastructure components, such as the server, storage, and backup infrastructures. Dedicated, fully contained, engineered appliances have been a part of the database technology stack for a while now.
Another key aspect to consider is the significant amount of automation that exists in the database arena. This is primarily due to the unique and complex nature of databases plus the sizes of the databases that are common nowadays.
Security is an important aspect of any cloud solution and is yet another consideration that has long been a part of any overall database solution. Databases have their own dedicated security model that is very mature and can fairly easily integrate into the larger organization model (single sign-on [SSO]- and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [LDAP]-based authentication and integration, etc.). Database security models have matured to include data encryption for data backups, data at rest, as well as data in flight.
Finally, the amount of data existing within organizations is huge, and its rate of growth is exponential. Almost every application deployed will need a data repository or data store of some type. This growth in data must be supported by corresponding growth in infrastructure.
The combination of the mature toolkit, the engineering inherent to database solutions, the preexisting automation especially in the administration aspects of databases, and the existence of a mature security model provide a solid foundation upon which organizations can build and deploy their first cloud solution.
The existing domain knowledge and the highly experienced skill set available provide the technical basis for learning and fine tuning the various aspects of cloud computing.
According to some reports and surveys, database technology–related expenditure for midsize to large-size companies can be up to 40 percent or more of the annual IT budget. Having a defined organization-wide strategy for databases will help organizations manage the growth of data and at the same time keep database costs down. Considering that databases can drive up to 40 percent of the IT budget makes the database a very attractive focus area to use to kick off cloud computing as a long-term IT strategy.
Cloud computing is a generic architectural concept that encompasses the entire gamut of technology as it relates to infrastructure. Cloud computing is more than just another fancy term for "virtualization." All of the new "as-a-service" models are implementations of cloud computing. Infrastructure, platform, database, software, network, and storage as a service all are implementations focusing on specific concepts of the technology stack within infrastructure. These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but in reality, cloud computing is a concept, whereas the as-a-service models are implementations.
The very definition of "cloud computing" has introduced a fundamental change in thinking when it comes to ownership, roles, responsibilities, and expectations. This is not to say that ownership, roles, responsibilities, and expectations were missing or lacking before the advent of cloud computing. They have always existed, but cloud computing has change the lens through which they are seen.
Introducing the core concept of "service" into the overall architecture brings about these changes. We saw that in order to deliver a service that is meaningful, cloud computing had to introduce "elasticity, flexibility, and rapid and easy deployment" into its core concept and architecture.
DBaaS implementations are not much different from other cloud implementations. Database clouds have some unique challenges when it comes to cloud implementations, driven by their complex and temperamental nature. We need to understand these core concepts specifically as they apply to databases in order to deploy a successful and meaningful DBaaS.
This chapter is the beginning of understanding the cloud computing framework, specifically when it comes to database clouds or DBaaS.

A: Unless I misunderstand you, you just need to change your final line that says RETURN output; to this:
return case
  when output is null or output = 0 then 0
  when output > 0 and output < 0.1 then 0.1
  else output end;

I did, however notice you did not account for negative values.  In the statement above, it will return any negative as-is.

COI staff review all disclosures submitted through ORCOI for completeness. If the disclosures are negative, then the COI staff will inform Contracts and Grants via ORBiT. "Positive" disclosures may result in a request for additional information.
The COIC reviews positive disclosures at its monthly meeting. When the COIC deems potential conflicts to be adequately managed or acceptable they authorize the COI staff to release the funding in ORBiT or to notify gift administration about the status of the conflict review.


Or, by joining the American Mustache Institute in Washington, D.C., on April 1 for a physical march of one million Mustached Americans from the U.S. Capitol to the White House.
For every Million Mustache March participant, America's leading tax authority – H&R Block –will make contributions to Millions From One — which delivers clean drinking water to those who cannot obtain it themselves.
The STACHE Act is based on the celebrated white paper "Mustached Americans And The Triple Bottom Line" — which can be downloaded to the right. Written by noted tax policy professor Dr.John Yeutter, Ph.D., CFP®, Associate Professor of Accounting and Tax Policy at Northeastern State University, it argues that the social and environmental benefits to mustache growth and maintenance provide a service to the U.S. economy.
"Given the clear link between the growing and maintenance of mustaches and incremental income … mustache maintenance costs qualify for and should be considered as a deductible expense …," Dr. Yeutter wrote.
All Americans are invited to participate in perhaps the most important movement in the history of movements – to help ensure for the fair taxation of Mustached Americans, and at the same time, help deliver clean drinking water to those who cannot obtain it themselves.

Answers Central Dogma
Central Dogma
The central dogma of molecular biology seemed to confirm the Weismann barrier idea. But it doesn't. The dogma was misinterpreted to mean that information could not pass from the organism and environment to the genome. To quote The Selfish Gene, genes are "sealed off from the outside world." This is simply incorrect.
"The mechanisms of transposable elements illustrate one of the important breaks with the central dogma of molecular biology. Retrotransposons are DNA sequences that are first copied as RNA sequences, which are then inserted back into a different part of the genome using reverse transcriptase. DNA transposons may use a cut-and-paste mechanism that does not require an RNA intermediate. As Beurton et al.(2008) comment, 'it seems that a cell's enzymes are capable of actively manipulating DNA to do this or that. A genome consists largely of semi-stable genetic elements that may be rearranged or even moved around in the genome thus modifying the information content of DNA.' The central dogma of the 1950s, as a general principle of biology, has therefore been progressively undermined until it has become useless as support for the Modern Synthesis (Werner, 2005; Mattick, 2007; Shapiro, 2009) or indeed as an accurate description of what happens in cells. As Mattick (2012) says, 'the belief that the soma and germ line do not communicate is patently incorrect.'"

It is important to note that Crick's original statement of the dogma (made in 1958, and repeated in 1970) was qualified in a very important respect:
"The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred back from protein to either protein or nucleic acid."
I have italicised "such information" to highlight this important qualification. The statement does not exclude control information passing from cells to the genome. This must happen to enable the same genome to be used to generate many different cell types.

milking might make my hands ache, I find it to be quite enjoyable and soothing – stress relieving, even.
Well, let me preface that by saying – it's stress relieving DURING milking. The time leading up to milking can be a little bit of chaos around here. My goats can be a little demanding when they see me coming with the feed buckets. I was reading about someone who ties their goats at separate spots and everyone goes to their spot to wait for their meals.
I think I'm going to create a goat tie/feed system here. I'm going to attempt it, anyway.
Back to the stress relief – it really is calming to pump my hand rhythmically and milk my goats. Now, I'm not sure if it's the pumping, the rhythm, the outdoors, or even the goat herself that is soothing. Maybe it is the combination. But my shoulders relax, and I think, "Wow, this is what I was made for." A lot of farm life has me thinking that same thing.
I used to think I was a horse girl. Dog girl, too. But I think I'm just a critters girl. An outside in the sunshine girl. A fingers in the dirt girl. A relieve-my-stress-by-milking-goats girl.
I am thankful the good Lord saw fit to create such a diverse, beautiful, and awesome world for us to inhabit. I look around and see Him in the variety, creativity, beauty, and function of nature and creatures.


Welcome to the Highrez Forums.

Please read the forum rules before posting for the first time.
The more information you can provide, the quicker and more accurately someone can help.
I do not currently have XMBC, before I get it I'm looking to see if it has a feature I want. That feature is automatically clicking the mouse button after I hover over a clickable spot for a specified period of time (such as one second). that one feature is the determining factor for me, I have hand pain wherever I use my hands, including clicking. The ability to click without actually pressing a button is vital for me.
I currently have Evoluent vertical mouse, and the driver with it the ability to set up auto click the way I'm describing. However, I'm considering switching to a different mouse, but most mice I've looked at do not have a driver as customizable as Evoluent. XMBC looks like it has even a higher level of customization (vs the Evoluent driver), so that will solve the problem of customizing the buttons the way I want, but doesn't solve the problem of auto click, which I need. Based on screenshots and FAQs, I can't tell if XMBC lets me do what I want.
so, my question to you is: can XMBC create auto click the way I'm describing?
XMBC Can't do that at the moment but it may be something I could add... how do you/would you define the area to click? Based on a fixed rectangle? Based on the window under the hovering cursor?


An Egg Shaped Sauna and Sculpture That's Simply Outstanding – You can't buy it (yet), but can you imagine this fabulous Egg Shaped Sauna and Sculpture in your fabulous garden? If you are a fan of extravagant saunas, then this piece of art and design it's clearly the perfect fit for you, but don't be too excited because unfortunately, for now, it's not for sale and it's also unavailable for commercial use.
But if you like it so much, you could use it as a design inspiration for your personal sauna project. In fact, this Egg Shaped Sauna and Sculpture was built by Riksbyggen, a Swedish property developer, for the Swedish city of Kiruna, that's located in the freezing but prestigious Lapland.
The town mayor asked Riksbyggen to create a unique and comfortable meeting place where residents could discuss the challenges of the city. With this in mind, the brilliant minds at Riksbyggen came up with the idea of combining a meeting room with a public sauna and the final result is this astonishing Egg Shaped Sauna.
This piece met all the requirements of the client and became a design icon in Scandinavia. It was so successful in Sweden that Riksbyggen and the City of Kiruna decided to put it on display at local design events. The success quickly crossed borders and reached the rest of Europe, so nowadays we can find this amazing piece in Paris in display at the Institut Suédois (Swedish Institute).
But if you want to see it at the City of Lights you'll have to hurry, because in January it will return to Sweden to be exhibited at the Artipelag in Stockholm, and after that, it will go back permanently to Kiruna.
The good news is that Riksbyggen is producing five more Egg Shaped Sauna and Sculpture to be sold to the general public. Two of them were already bought by two private collectors in the United States of America. The remaining three pieces can be bought during 2018, but you'll have to act quickly because there will be a high demand for this amazing piece.


Online revenues for Canada's Yellow Pages Group grew 30 percent in 2011, offsetting declines in its domestic print business as well as its U.S. operations, according to the company's recently released earnings. Revenues decreased to C$1.3 million in 2011 compared with C$1.4 million in 2010 due to lower print revenues in traditional markets. The digital component of YPG is a considerable bright spot for the company, with online revenues now representing 29 percent of total revenues.
But the Montreal-based directory publisher is making some difficult choices to get out in front of its $1.5 billion debt load. In a bid to save millions and redirect funds to debt repayment, YPG cut off dividends to its preferred shareholders just months after canceling dividend on common shares. YPG reduced its total debt by $800 million in 2011, mostly through its sale of Trader Corp., which publishes AutoTrader magazine. Earlier this month, YPG announced that it would scale back its Canpages print division due to underperformance.
In 2012, the company plans to continue to focus on the execution of its 360 solution strategy, enhancing online and mobile product offerings, targeting larger advertisers and improving its cost structure.
YPG recently added three new board members as it reviews strategies to refinance its debt, including Bruce Robertson, a restructuring expert who formerly worked for Brookfield Asset Management Inc., and David Leith, former head of investment banking at CIBC World Markets.

Final Fling is the home of life and death decisions – the community for this critical life stage.
Death & Loss
Sort Your Affairs
The death movement
Planning for death (not just the funeral)
Thanks to Compassion In Dying for their thoughts on planning for death this week. "When planning for the end, consider your death, not just your funeral," they advise…
When we think of planning for the end of our lives, what will often come to mind are funeral arrangements and ensuring your affairs are settled after you've gone. But what we often neglect to consider is the dying process itself – what healthcare and treatment we might receive and what our death will be like as a result.
Many of us have strong feelings about the healthcare we receive throughout our lives and we value having control over these choices. But what if an accident or illness leaves us unable to make or communicate these decisions? Who decides what care and treatment we receive at the end and makes sure we have the death that we want?
What many people don't realise is that it is not your loved ones, but doctors. Without having recorded your wishes beforehand in a legally binding way, your loved ones have no automatic right to intervene and could be left stranded and powerless.
Fortunately, there is a way to ensure that these choices remain under your control, and Compassion in Dying has just made it easier and simpler than ever with our new and improved Advance Directive form.
An Advance Directive* (known as Advance Decisions in England and Wales and formerly known as Living Wills) allows you to record any treatments that you do not want to be given in the future, in case you later become unable to make or communicate decisions through injury or illness. It allows you to remain at the heart of these choices, giving you peace of mind that if the worst does happen your wishes will still be followed and you'll get the treatment that's right for you. People who have planned ahead in this way are more likely to be judged by their loved ones to have had a 'good death' than those who haven't.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not expensive or complicated to do so. Our new form is free, simple and straightforward. It takes you through different conditions in which you could lose capacity so that you can record your treatment wishes for each scenario clearly and concisely. It also includes a section in which you can state other wishes and preferences, such as where you'd like to be cared for, and your wishes regarding pain relief, pregnancy and organ donation. There is also space to include details of your Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare or anyone else you want to be involved in your care.
With this new form, recording your wishes for future treatment couldn't be easier. It doesn't cost you anything and you can work at a pace that suits you, but the reassurance and peace of mind you'll get for you and your loved ones is invaluable. As you start planning for the end of life, remember to consider how your life might end, not just what will happen after you've done, and make an Advance Directive.
Compassion in Dying's free Info Line can be reached on 0800 999 2434 or email us.
For more information see our website.
*In Scotland, Advance Decisions are known as Advance Directives. Advance Directives are not recognised in legislation as they are in England and Wales, but are still widely recognised and used by healthcare professionals. If a decision ever had to be made in court, it is likely that the Scottish courts would take the same approach as England and Wales and say that a clear and specific Advance Directive should be followed. An Advance Directive can be used as evidence of your wishes if you lack capacity. Under the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act, a person's past and present wishes should be taken into account when decisions about medical treatment are being made on their behalf. More information can be found here.

Q: AS3 zooming in and out where mouse clicked not at registration I am trying to have a masked mouse panned image zoom in and out with a click and a double click mouse event. I got the image to zoom but it always zooms in on the left edge registration point, not where I click. I have absolutely no idea how to code this and have spent the whole day on the internet trying to figure it out with no luck. I am hoping someone can help me to figure this out!
import com.greensock.*;//Greensock Tweening Platform.

//Variables
var percX:Number;
var percY:Number;
var destX:Number;
var destY:Number;

//Image panned and masked
this.mask = mask_mc;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mousemove);
function mousemove(e:MouseEvent) {
    if (mask_mc.hitTestPoint(stage.mouseX,stage.mouseY,false)) {
        if (imgLoader.width>mask_mc.width) {//Avoids Scrolling if image is under mask area width
            percX = mask_mc.mouseX/mask_mc.width;
        }
        if (imgLoader.height>mask_mc.height) {//Avoids Scrolling if image is under mask area height
            percY = mask_mc.mouseY/mask_mc.height;
        }
        destX = -(imgLoader.width-mask_mc.width)*percX;
        destY = -(imgLoader.height-mask_mc.height)*percY;
        TweenMax.to(imgLoader,.5,{x:destX,y:destY});
    }
}
//Add listeners for the imgLoader movie clip.
imgLoader.doubleClickEnabled = true;
imgLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, increaseSize);
imgLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, decreaseSize);

//This function increases the scale of the image
function increaseSize(event:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(imgLoader, 1, {scaleX:2, scaleY:2});
}

//This function decreases the scale of the image
function decreaseSize(event:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(imgLoader, 1, {scaleX:1, scaleY:1});
}

A: This answer is derived from here
Add this function:
function scaleAroundMouse(objectToScale:DisplayObject, scaleAmount:Number, bounds:Rectangle = null, onComplete:Function = null):TweenLite {
    // scaling will be done relatively
    var relScaleX:Number = scaleAmount / objectToScale.scaleX;
    var relScaleY:Number = scaleAmount / objectToScale.scaleY;
    // map vector to centre point within parent scope

    var scalePoint:Point = objectToScale.localToGlobal( new Point(objectToScale.mouseX, objectToScale.mouseY));
    scalePoint = objectToScale.parent.globalToLocal( scalePoint );
    // current registered postion AB
    var AB:Point = new Point( objectToScale.x, objectToScale.y );
    // CB = AB - scalePoint, objectToScale vector that will scale as it runs from the centre
    var CB:Point = AB.subtract( scalePoint );
    CB.x *= relScaleX;
    CB.y *= relScaleY;
    // recaulate AB, objectToScale will be the adjusted position for the clip
    AB = scalePoint.add( CB );
    // set actual properties

    if(bounds){
     var limits:Rectangle = new Rectangle(
        bounds.x + (bounds.width - (objectToScale.width * relScaleX)),
        bounds.y + (bounds.height - (objectToScale.height * relScaleY)),
        (objectToScale.width * relScaleX) - bounds.width,
        (objectToScale.height * relScaleY) - bounds.height
     );

     if(AB.x < limits.x) AB.x = limits.x;
     if(AB.x > limits.x + limits.width) AB.x = limits.x + limits.width;
     if(AB.y < limits.y) AB.y = limits.y;
     if(AB.y > limits.y + limits.height) AB.y = limits.y + limits.height;
    }

    return TweenLite.to(objectToScale,1,{onComplete: onComplete, scaleX: scaleAmount, scaleY: scaleAmount, x: AB.x, y: AB.y);
}

Then update your sizing function to this:
function increaseSize(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stopMouseMove();
    scaleAroundMouse(imgLoader, 2, null, resumeMouseMove);
}

function decreaseSize(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stopMouseMove();
    scaleAroundMouse(imgLoader, 1, null, resumeMouseMove);
}

function stopMouseMove():void {
   stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mousemove);
}

function resumeMouseMove():void {
   stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mousemove);
}

I also added a bounds parameter to the function. This is useful if you never want the edges of you content to be visible within the mask.  So if you could use it by passing the bounds of your mask to the function:
scaleAroundMouse(imgLoader, 1, myMask.getBounds(this));

A: This example uses zoom effect classes that may help achieve the zoom effect you are looking for http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2010/06/video-image-zoom-effect-in-flex-4.html.

A: var mat:Matrix=new Matrix();
mat.translate(-p.x,-p.y);
mat.scale(desiredScale,desiredScale);
mat.translate(p.x,p.y);
yourObject.transform.matrix=mat;

That is taken from a question I posted about a month ago. You can see it here. While I didn't end up going with that specific snippet (I actually went with a modified version of the script LondongDrugs_MediaServ posted), it will work and is much easier to understand and implement.

Buchholz is a German surname.

During the Austro-Hungarian empire, in the kingdom of Hungary people of non-Hungarian ethnicity—people of Jewish, German and Slovak ancestry—were encouraged to adopt Hungarian surnames. Some people with German names translated them directly into Hungarian. Some of them just magyarized their original German surname Buchholz into the Hungarian form Bukholczer.

Notable people with the surname include:

 Barbara Buchholz (1959–2012), German musician and composer
 Bob Buchholz (born 1957), American voice actor in anime films
 Butch Buchholz (born 1940), American former tennis player
 Christine Buchholz (born 1971), German politician, Die Linke (The Left) member of the Bundestag
 Clay Buchholz (born 1984), American baseball player (pitcher)
 Detlev Buchholz (born 1944), German theoretical physicist
 Erich Buchholz (1891–1972), German painter
 Francis Buchholz (born 1984), German rock n' roll bass player
 Fyodor Buchholz (1857–1942), Russian-Soviet painter
 Horst Buchholz (1933–2003), German actor
 John Theodore Buchholz (1888–1951), American botanist
 Justin Buchholz (born 1983), American MMA artist
 Ludwig Heinrich Buchholtz (1740–1811), Prussian diplomat
 Matthias Buchholz (born 1957), German violist
 Max Buchholz (1875–1956) , engineer (who invented the Buchholz relay)
 Peter Buchholz (1837–1892), rabbi
 Quint Buchholz (born 1957), German painter, illustrator and author
 Reinhold Wilhelm Buchholz (1837–1876), German zoologist
 Sabrina Buchholz (born 1980), German biathlete
 Scott Buchholz (born 1968), Australian politician
 Taylor Buchholz (born 1981), American baseball player
 Todd G. Buchholz, economic policy commentator
 Werner Buchholz (historian), German historian
 Werner Buchholz (born 1922), American computer scientist who coined the term "byte"
 Garth Von Buchholz, Canadian author

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Colen Gaynor sank two free throws and Canaan Bartley another in the final 1:20 and that was just enough for Maryland-Eastern Shore to win 60-58 in overtime on Saturday and snap a four-game slide.
Florida A&M had a chance with one second left and M.J. Randolph at the line shooting three. But Randolph made just one.
Justin Ravenel led the Rattlers (5-14, 2-2) with 18 points and four 3-pointers. D.J. Jones added 11 points and six rebounds before fouling out. Florida A&M was 13 of 23 from the free throw line.
There were 11 ties and eight lead changes throughout. Kamron Reaves tied the game at 52-all with a jump shot with 31 seconds left at the end of regulation. Maryland-Eastern Shore worked the clock from 31 seconds to two and missed two chances to win on a Bryan Urrtia drive and an Andino 3.


The Padthaway region is located in the Limestone Coast of South Eastern Australia. The name comes from the term Potawurutj, which is the Aboriginal term meaning good water. In the 1800s, the region was covered with freshwater and was often called "Mosquito Plains". Padthaway was the name of a pastoral station built in the region by Robert Lawson, a Scottish businessman, who named his new home Padthaway station. The government took parts of Lawson's lease and sold it at the "Village of Cockatoo Lake". The Padthaway region is roughly 62 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide, and includes the Riddoch Highway running through the center. There are over 4,000 hectares of vineyards planted with various grape types such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chadonnay, and Shiraz. In recent years, plantings of Riesling, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir have started to grow in popularity. In 1944, the region was recommended for horticulture because of rich and fertile soil, underground water supply, and ideal coastal climate. Vineyards first started to appear in the 1960s and they quickly blossomed in the region. The first vineyards were introduced by Seppelt, which were followed by other vineyards including Lindemans, Wynns, and Hardys.
Jip Jip Rocks Chardonnay is made from 100 percent unoaked Chardonnay.
"Chardonnay is a classic Padthaway expression of the variety, boasting pineapple and citrus flavors. For those of a certain age, it will bring back pleasant memories of Lindeman's Padthaway Chardonnay (NOT Bin 65), a medium-bodied, succulent style of Chardonnay that speaks for itself in its popularity. - Joe Czerwinski"
Deep purple. Boysenberry and mulberry aromas with a hint of cedar and pepper. Similar berry fruits show through on the opulent, textured palate with a lingering finish.
Deep purple in color. Ripe cassis and black plum fruits on the nose with violets. Varietal fruit-driven palate, with cassis and dark berryfruit and spice flavors. Soft tannins compliment the fruit with mouth-filling generous finish.
French & American oak has been used sparingly to ensure maximum fruit expression is retained in the final wine.
Our Shiraz is fermented in static fermenters at controlled temperatures to retain the varietal aromatics. Once complete the wine is left for 7–10 days on skins to aide in the extraction of soft fleshy tannins and build wine structure.
Winemaking: Our Cabernet is fermeneted in static fermenters at controlled temperatures to retain the varietal aromatics. Once complete the wine is left for 7-1- days on skins to aide in the extraction of soft fleshy tannins and build wine structure. French and American oak has been used sparingly to ensure maximum fruit expression is retained in the final wine.
Tasting notes: Deep purple in colour. Classic aromas of lifted blackcurrant, blackberry and mint on the nose. Flavours follow through of sweet berry-fruit accented by fresh muddled mint. Elegant, structured palate with big velvety tannins.

As for what the new design looks like, Google has shifted the white, rectangular pop up menu that surfaces in the middle of the screen when you long press the power button to a rectangular menu with more rounded corners to the right edge along the area where the power button sits. The menu is also still white, and it does appear to dim the screen still just not as much as before. Both the power and restart buttons are still there with their respective icons, sitting above each option instead of beside them now.
It also looks like there has been a change to the bug reports button that shows up if you have that option enabled in the developer options portion of the settings, as it features more of a gray color instead of the white for the rest of the menu. Whether or not Google keeps it this way is anyone's guess so it's entirely possible that Google will change it before sending the new software version out as a final release to the public. Then again Google could just as easily keep it this way too. This is a pretty minor change, but as the preview just dropped it's certainly not going to be the only change which surfaces between now and the full public release. In fact Google has already put out the blog post detailing some of the more focused changes with this software, which includes a whole lot of stuff that seems to targeted at developers.

Manchin backs wage hike
Fresh off re-election, Manchin has no qualms about raising the minimum wage.
By Burgess Everett
Democrats' drive to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour picked up a key supporter in West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.
Senate Democrats are working to build unanimous support across the 55-member caucus for a bill written by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) that would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour and increase the minimum wage for tipped employees for the first time since 1991. They'll need help from moderates like Manchin to be successful.
Several Democrats facing tough election bids like Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas have not yet committed to the $10.10 rate. But fresh off reelection in conservative West Virginia in 2012, Manchin has no such qualms.
( Also on POLITICO: Some Dems seek minimum wage deal)
"I'm for [it], OK?" Manchin said in an interview Thursday. "The base bill, if it comes to me, I'm voting for it."
That's not to say the deal-cutting Manchin isn't seeking a compromise, particularly after a Congressional Budget Office report showed a national rate of $10.10 an hour could lift roughly 900,000 people out of poverty but eliminate about 500,000 jobs. Manchin said he's not wedded to $10.10 an hour if the Senate can coalesce around a minimum wage lift proposal that can actually pass the chamber — a doubtful scenario given broad Republican opposition to raising the wage.
( Also on POLITICO: Democrats' immigration gambit)
"If we can find a way to appease a lot of people that are maybe having problems to get to $10.10, most certainly I'm open," he said.
Minimum Wage,
Joe Manchin,


Halfway through the year and I'd hoped to be able to report the successful, trouble-free completion of the footings for the new toilet and store. No such luck as the reported underground mains electric cable problem is going to take 3 months or more to resolve and at our expense. The remaining parts of the project are at least well underway and the poor old gas house is looking cared for once more, even in its incomplete state.
Once again local history turns up in its usual unexpected way and maybe partly because of my incessant ramblings on local history over the past years. The upshot was a large collection of family postcards and photographs both family portraits and those of many un-named soldiers, rescued from disposal by James Neal after his grandmother Brenda Slaughter died. There are many unidentified items that could have come from any of her forbears or other locals . Some local names are present which includes the names of Butcher, Bradley, Bone, Curson, Beck, Tash….. and there are others.
The collection of postcards has been the clue to at least some of the puzzle as many were connected with the Bone family, i.e. James Neal's great-great grandmother's family. These were sent home during WW1 by Edward Charles "Ted" Bone, James' great-great uncle. He is the second name on the Roll of Honour in the church and was mentioned on 3 separate occasions in the Parish Magazine during the War. From his signature and comments on the reverse both cards and a photo it has been possible to identify him from the large collection of WW1 soldier's photos. Likewise from a series of postcards sent, to and from Ted's sister Violet, to husband to be, Maurice William "Mark" Butcher (James' great grandparents), we can identify Mark Butcher in his uniform as an Army Service Corps butcher (yes, by name and nature!).
Another series of postcards written to Ted in 1915 by "Mary" hint at a romance that, as far as I can tell, was never realised. A possible candidate for "Mary" is Mary Louise Beck from Fakenham, the addressee on 2 of the postcards, though not from Ted. She was the daughter of George Beck the flour manager at the Mill on the Bridge and was working as a waitress according to the 1911 Census. She never married and died at Cranmer House in 1981.
Among the soldiers pictures a photocard of Private Francis Bates on horseback was signed and sent to Ted's mother from Cairo in 1915, "with every good wish".
He was a Bucks Yeomanry/Hussar and it is most likely that he was billeted with the Bone's in Ted's absence.
There were also two items with a Sennowe connection, one a postcard to F. "Punch" Myhill, Sennowe Park Ryburgh from Eileen O'Byrne and the other, a wonderful photocard of three men, believed to be the coachmen to Thomas Albert Cook, taken in a corner of the stable yard before WW1 and far more than a lifetime away!
Unfortunately, I have not found any trace of Ted beyond these dates and further research only throws up one matching person's death, registered in Holborn in 1960. Nevertheless, it is the sort of source material that one always hopes to come across and in this case it has certainly come up trumps!
At last things are beginning to happen on the Glebe field where the new toilet, stores and car parking for the Church are to be developed. The poor old Gas House itself is in a sorry state but work has begun to stabilise the structure that has included the grinding down of the large ash stump on the southwest corner and the removal of quantities of its offspring from the east gable wall that had already created a large network of roots and suckers. It is a case of taking down the masonry to a stable point and then carefully reconstructing ready to take new wall-plates and roof timbers.
As for the new work, there is an existing drain of some age, perhaps 100 or more years old heading towards the ditch-work that borders the field and which we hope might be able to take the rain-water from the new building. This has to be further investigated and unfortunately the costs of clearing and surveying it are quite high and it may be cheaper to put in something entirely new.
We have just found out that there is an underground electricity cable that runs under where the new building is to stand and so we have yet to be told what is expected of us by way of protecting the cable through the footings.
The whole site looks far more business-like now with its enclosing site fencing. The stock-proof fencing required by the Glebe to enclose the car-parking area should be in place by the time you read this and later in the year, the native species hedging required by the local planners will be planted.
Good news though, there are now sufficient funds available to be able to make a start in the ground, which is just waiting on the final detailed approvals from the District Council Planners. The Faculty for the creation of the new churchyard entrance and pathway has been approved so there is plenty to get on with in the meantime.
A rare 19thCentury flute that was donated after being found in an inherited chest of drawers realised £1000 early in the fundraising which helped to pay for the initial expenses and since then, kind-hearted people continue to find items to use in the build or sell to boost funds. The flute, made in Vienna by Stephan Koch in 1822 one of the top makers of the day, represents an important stage in the development of the modern flute and was purchased by a Canadian flute maker and restorer.
A wind-up HMV Model 109 gramophone which was sold to Australia and a companion collection of jazz and swing 78's that found a new home in Horningtoft raised £130. Most recently, a fine pair of double doors for use or sale "with proceeds to" have come our way. Our thanks go out to these people and those who keep on coming up with flint, the stuff of which this building will be constructed. There is even a use for the old North Transept gable copings that have just been renewed which probably will become flooring in the Gas House. I will keep the website up to date with progress and keep you posted by this column.
It was a phone call from John Savory at Centre Farm Gateley that recently set me on the trail of WW1 casualties from that village. They have no War Memorial and John was not sure if there were any casualties so I said I'd take a look for him. Due to the transient nature of the employment of "Ag Labs" at this time it is not surprising that though a number of serving soldiers were born in Gateley, they or their families had moved from the village.
So far I can only find 1 soldier new to me who was born in Gateley. His name was Charles Winn and he died on 25th September 1916. He spent most of his life in Dunton and Sculthorpe and it is at St. Peter's Dunton on their War Memorial that he is commemorated. Another casualty, with connections to Gateley and Ryburgh, was young Charles Henry Hall born in Foxley and whose father farmed for a decade or so from 1902 at Gateley Hill Farm. However, by the end of the conflict the family was to be found at Hill House in Great Walsingham. It is on the Memorial there that his name is to be found inscribed.
I knew that Ryburgh's Walter Betts who died in November 1917 was born in Gateley as was his brother, Ernest Betts who although wounded, survived. Searching for the Betts surname had found others of that ilk. William John Betts, who lived on the Common, fought and received a gunshot wound to the head but survived and was discharged January 1919. Thomas Henry Betts who worked on the railways, son of John and Elizabeth Betts of Gateley Green enlisted in Edmonton. Gateley born Charles King enlisted with the Northumberland Fusiliers in 1905 and served mostly in India until 1913 when he joined the reserve only to be called up for the British Expeditionary Force in August 1914 right at the start of the War. He only remained in France for 2 months and returned on home service until 1916 when he was discharged medically unfit. Alfred Easterwas another with a similar "regular" background who served with the 1stNorfolks in India in the 1890's and re-enlisted in 1914 to serve with the Labour Corps. This is undoubtedly an incomplete list, but it is a start.
At the start of our research into Ryburgh soldiers we had already "adopted Charles Henry Hall as he had attended the village school from 1902 to 1911 and the Picture Norfolk archive had a photograph of him and were willing to let us make use of it on the website. He is remembered on April 22ndas one of 3 Ryburgh casualties of that month in 1918 along with Scotsman Charles Smith MacDonald, (April 20th.)who was married to Ryburgh girl Lily Doy and Little Snoring born John Frederick Bacon (April 18th.) who died of wounds in the German POW Camp Hospital in Kassell.
I don't often get political but in the light of the recent 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act (6th February 1918) it occurred to me to investigate what, if anything Ryburgh had to do with the Suffragette movement.
A trawl of the British Newspaper Archive produced no results at all specific to Ryburgh, so I widened the search to "Norfolk" which produced copious amounts of small-ad. references to property in Norfolk Square but a few others of local interest. None of these however emanated from our local press however but from "The Suffragette" newspaper itself. The first references were to the support by some local clergy, signatories to a letter sent to the Home Secretary expressing "unqualified abhorrence of the working of the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act". Incumbents of Hunstanton, Lt. Plumstead, Edgefield, Sustead, Acle and Stibbard/Guist joined with clergy across the nation to protest in August 1913. I was pleased to see Stibbard's own Revd. Anthony Fenn (who has appeared before in these pages in his role as Chaplain to the Forces in WW1) making a stand. What a shame that Ryburgh's F.H.Tatham didn't share his views (at least not publicly!).
A Sermon preached by the Rev. E. H. Taylor, in Sustead Church, Norfolk, on Sunday, August 10, 1913.
"The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force." Matt.xi,12.
Every great reform that has ever come into the world has come by the power of the sword, corruption has been driven from the kingdom by the violent who have taken it by force.
It has always been so. When the Jewish State became corrupt, and rulers made profit out of her corruption, the Prophets came; when the Jewish Church became corrupt, and priests made profit out of her corruption, Jesus came; in later days when States and Churches became corrupt, Reformers and Revivalists came, violent men, all of them, who by their violence expelled the corruption.
It has always been so, and it always must be so, because the entrance of any great reforms necessitates a condition of warfare, it raises a standard which divides those who fight under it from those who fight against it.
You know the conditions of warfare. First there are the standard-bearers leading the attack, they are the heroes, the superhuman men of history, men like Jesus and the Prophets. Then come their followers who win victory through the life and enthusiasm they have inspired. After the victory there is the fury of the defeated foe, of which we had an instance the other day when the Turks in their fight perpetrated atrocities upon every woman they could find.
Such are the conditions of warfare, and they are being reproduced now in all their grim reality in what is called the woman's war.
For years past we have been gradually reaching a point where some entirely new force would be needed to drive out the corruption of our social life, to day the force has appeared, and so deeply rooted has this corruption become, that, unless the two sections of the community, the male and the female, join hands, it can never be expelled. Women are the standard-bearers of this new force, and the battle is raging between between those who fight under it and those who fight against it. Will this new force win? In my opinion it has won already, and the sufferings inflicted on the standard-bearers are due to the fury of the defeated foe.
I doubt if the standard-bearers of any cause have had to endure more violent and virulent opposition.Note the forces that have been out against them.
First there are the politicians. That this is no question of mere party politics is seen by the fact that, while one party has done its worst against them, the other party has stood by without a protest. Yes I must say that if the Conservative Party had been in power it would not have done the things that have been done. It would not have done them because it would not have dared to. Had it attempted even half of what the Liberal Party has done, every Liberal politician and every Liberal newspaper would have denounced it with all the eloquence they could command. Liberals advocate liberty when in Opposition, however much they may violate its principles when in power. No: this is no question of mere party politics. The truth is that the men of both parties know the standard-bearers of this force are bringing in a new order of things, which is to regenerate our political and social life. We have no great men in our political world to-day, no men, that is, of high integrity and lofty ideals. The men we have are little men, with the moral defects of little men. When mrs. pankhurst declared that the reason why the Government had attempted to suppress the SUFFRAGETTE newspaper was not because it had advocated militancy, but because it had pointed out the kind of legislation devised by the White Slave Traffic Act was futile – that effective legislation had first of all to deal with the customers, and that the first people to whom you must apply the Act were the members of the Government itself – you can easily see why it is that the standard-bearers of this new force have been treated by the men of our political world in the way they have.
They – the leaders of Society – have been against the standard-bearers. Of course they have. Could it be otherwise? Mrs Pankhurst's words explain the reason.
Combined with these two forces against them there has been the force of the daily Press. All these women have said, all they have done, has been misrepresented and distorted. Surely what has been called the mendax infama of the Press has never sunk to a lower depth. But you know the reason. We have no free Press in England to-day. The Press to-day is governed by the political and social world, by the capitalist and financier, and its editors have to do what they are paid to do.
Last of all, the standard-bearers have had the Church against them. Here and there a few individual ministers may have come out in their defence. But what of that? The Church as a whole has not. Again you know the reason. An Established Church dare not go out against the leaders of the political and social world: her bishops and other officials have their own interests to think of. One longs for the grand old preachers of Nonconformity to be alive today! They were men who feared only God. Men of piety they were, who stood out for justice and righteousness in days of cruelty, oppression and lust. We have no such men to-day.
Now I would have you consider what it means for these standard-bearers to have had such forces against them. It means that cruelties and atrocities have been perpetrated that would be a disgrace to any Christian community. I will not enter into detail. I will not speak of what feeding by force means in its cruelty, nor of the cruelty involved by slowly torturing women to death by the process legalised by the recent Act of Parliament. Least of all will I speak of the species of argument used to defend it.
But I will say one thing. If John Bright were alive to-day he would denounce these atrocities in the name of God, and make our land ring from end to end in condemnation of the perpetrators, rousing the conscience of our democracy as it has never been roused before.
I will say another thing. Let a woman die under this process of slow death-torture and the verdict of posterity will be that she has been murdered and assassinated, and that her murderers and assassins have been traitors to the liberty of our great democracy.
I would say a word or two to these great standard-bearers themselves.
In the first place, all you have suffered and are suffering has taught you valuable lessons which you could learn in no other way. You have been taught the workings of our political parties, and you know now how to take the measure of our political men, and how much value to attach to their utterances. You have ben taught the workings of the Press, and you know enough of it not to be deceived by it in the future, whatever you may have been in the past. You have been taught many things besides. You know, for instance, the methods by which the police are governed, how justice is administered in our courts, and the way prisoners are treated in their prisons. All these things you know now. It is important you should, as you will be called upon to reform the institutions to which they relate. But you would never have believed the things you now know from mere hearsay. You have learned them from experience , and you are not likely to forget them.
Next never forget what the verdict of posterity will be on all this. You are passing through great and wonderful times, and your names will live long on the page of history as the violent who took the kingdom by force, as the drivers-out of its corruption, and as those who, at so infinite and great a cost to themselves, brought the new regenerating power into the world of social and political life. The world does not know yet, but it will then, and then your names will be on the lips of its children's children through all the ages.
Lastly, I would say that even you standard-bearers are far from knowing as yet the real greatness of the work you are doing. You are too much engaged in fighting the actual battle to have time to think of the spiritual value of the sacrifice you make. Some day you will. But it will never be until the day when you will have passed beyond the veil and passed into the Presence of the Great Unseen.
One of you has already passed there, though her spirit is with you still. She knows fully now the greatness of it all, and in her own last words I would say to you, "Fight on. God will give the victory!
By the late 19th Century, women were beginning to take up bell ringing, able to do so because ringing is quite a dynastic enterprise and also because of the likes of those clergy represented above. It was in 1896 that Miss Alice White (of Basingstoke) was the first woman to complete a full peal. Of the two "elite" and historic ringing societies the SRCY and the ASCY, it was the former who first admitted a woman, Mrs. George Williams to join their ranks in 1898. Extraordinarily it wasn't until 1998 that the ASCY followed suit! Needless to say belfries throughout the world could not thrive as they do without an equal input, indeed in some belfries our own included, men are in the minority. Nevertheless, my usual entreaty to come and learn to ring bells is aimed at everyone! .
It doesn't seem possible, but the 1st World War will end 100 years ago this year. This thought was in my mind when we rang in the New Year, all those Ryburgh men and yet still so many more never to return in the coming year. How fortunate we are today to be able to have the freedom to do such a thing.
The 8 new bells with a 6 cwt. Tenor travelled from Taylor's Foundry in Loughborough on the back of two WW1 lorries (a Thornycroft and a Dennis which both saw service during the War) for part of their journey and were dedicated at the church of St George in Ieper at the end of August.
They were blessed at a special service on October 22nd when they rang out for the first time. This was the culmination of the efforts of the Bells for the St George's Ypres project, its trustees, and supporters — in particular Alan Regin, Steward of the Rolls of Honour of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR).
Alan has rung in two of our peals at Ryburgh and we would very much like to wish him many congratulations on his award of the M.B.E. in the New Year's Honours' List for his "services to campanology and its heritage". We look forward to welcoming him back again to participate in one of the 12 Commemorations that will take place this year which resume with the Spring Offensive on the Somme and first claimed the life of Albert Fox Codling in March 1918.
Further abroad in Norwich, but still pertinent to our WW1 peal series, St Peter Mancroft have finally begun their major restoration of the tower which will see them ringing higher up the tower at the level when their most historic ringing achievements were made. The space below which they will vacate is to be turned into a training belfry with a ring of purpose built simulators. This will allow training and ringing to take place at any time of the day or night with out having to abide by the conditions that understandably prevail between the work of the church and that of the Forum which is in such close proximity. In the nature of such things the project had been aimed at reopening in 2015 to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the very first peal in English ringing which took place in the Mancroft tower. The main thing is that it is happening now.

Australian teacher, Matt Buttsworth, who is handicapped with dyslexia and dysgraphia has found Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 a life liberating solution to his two impediments.
According to the Australian Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is a reading impediment that hampers one's ability to spell, decode and read written language. It affects about 10 per cent of the Australian population.
Dysgraphia is an impairment in which a person has difficulty with the ability to write. Although not as widespread as dyslexia, dysgraphia still affects thousands of people in Australia. Depending on the degree to which a person suffers from either, both can be very detrimental to an individual.
Diagnosed with both dyslexia and dysgraphia at a young age, Matt learnt to live with both impairments as best he could. He struggled through school but was bright enough to enter university and gain a doctorate in history before deciding to pursue a teaching career.
'All through university I would have to pay typists to type up my essays and assignments as my lecturers could not read my written work. Then I would have to check that the typist's deciphering of my written script was accurate. The whole process was time consuming, frustrating and expensive.
'When I decided I wanted to be a history teacher I knew I had to find something to help me write clearly and read effectively. As you can imagine, there could be nothing worse for a teacher, who has to write on a whiteboard and mark written assignments or exams, than having both dyslexia and dysgraphia.
'It's also very embarrassing when your students cannot read all that you have written and when you know that the information will inevitably contain numerous spelling mistakes,' said Matt.
Determined to not let the impairments rule his life, Matt constantly scanned the market for solutions or aids that would help him overcome or manage both. He always explored the many devices and software packages that claimed to assist those with dyslexia and dysgraphia.
In 1994, while living and working in Switzerland, Matt first heard that voice dictation software had been developed – an innovation that he believed could help liberate him from the disabilities he suffered.
'At that time I would track everything that came onto the market including all software programs that claimed to provide help for those with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I remember buying every voice dictation program and using them to see how they could help. It was at this time that I first heard of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Like all the other programs, I bought it and used it,' explained Matt.
Nuance's current version, Dragon NaturallySpeaking12, brings voice recognition to the PC and allows individuals to simply talk to create content and command a computer. It eliminates the need for typing and delivers up to 99 percent recognition accuracy out of the box. By using Dragon's powerful voice recognition software, people can interact with and command their PC, cruise through email, surf the web and create reports and notes just by speaking.
'After testing everything, Nuance's Dragon was the only software program that could help me. Back then it wasn't perfect but it was useable and I stuck with it as did Nuance. A lot of the other packages just seemed to disappear,' said Matt.
During 2007-08, Matt was in Norway teaching at an international school when Nuance released Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.
'The added capability of Dragon 9 was far superior in this version when compared to the earlier program. The accuracy rates in terms of converting my speech to text and the spelling were much better so I could create lecture notes to help me teach in class as well as detailed study booklets that I could email my students.
'For the first time I now felt that here was a program that could really help me with my illegible hand writing and reading,' said Matt.
In 2012 Nuance released Dragon 12 and with this version Matt's life was truly altered.
'With the release of Dragon 12 everything changed for me because I now had access to real capability that could help me override my impairments. All of a sudden I no longer felt inhibited and it was a liberating feeling,' said Matt.
Matt found that in addition to using the software to compile notes as well as create lecture booklets, he could now use it to type letters and all correspondence, send emails and surf the Internet.

In class, Dragon became a powerful teachers' aid. He could hookup his Dragon enabled computer to a projector screen to help him dictate text for the students without the need to write.
'My students no longer had to put up with my writing, which starts off okay but ends up with numerous spelling mistakes and as an illegible scrawl. Likewise, I no longer had to put up with the humiliation of my students seeing that I am not able to write clearly,' said Matt.
Dragon also helped Matt to write his book, How to Beat Dyslexia and Dysgraphia – My Story. Using Dragon Professional together with his iPhone he was able to transcribe his book chapter by chapter.
'Dragon made writing my book much easier and for me it was absolutely fantastic. I didn't have to worry about endless spelling mistakes or trying to force my tangled fingers to keep up with the words in my head. Instead, I could just focus on the content, not on typing, which is really awkward to do if you suffer dyslexia and dysgraphia. It's a wonderful way of transforming thought to text,' said Matt.
Today, using Dragon is a daily part of Matt's life. He is also a strong advocate of the software and encourages kids with dyslexia and dysgraphia to not despair and use Dragon to overcome their handicap.
'With Dragon, having dyslexia and dysgraphia is no longer a disadvantage. The software is easy to use and like everything, the more you use it the better you get at it.
'Ideally, it would be wonderful to see the use of such a tool implemented as a nation-wide education policy to allow students who suffer from dysgraphia or dyslexia to escape these handicaps and perform to their full potential,' explained Matt.
'For me, Dragon has been life transforming. I was always scared of a pen and even typing but Dragon has helped me overcome this and the shame that went with it. Professionally and personally it has been liberating and an answer to my prayers,' added Matt.
