2021 hiring trends
office and administration
Against a backdrop of widespread economic disruption, the tech sector stands out. Armed with sophisticated IT infrastructure and, in many cases, a workforce already accustomed to working from home, tech companies have been largely impervious to COVID-19 disruption. From an IT hiring standpoint, that means the "new normal" has a lot in common with the old normal. Sky-high levels of demand, frantic competition for top talent and too few qualified candidates to go around, especially for roles like scrum masters, agile coaches, reliability engineers, data architects, analysts and engineers. All too familiar stories.
But not everything remains the same. Notably, the global pandemic both catalyzed and accelerated broad-based digital transformations at organizations across the board, with tech pros driving the effort. The massive remote work was just one part of that, but it's already had some surprising ripple effects in terms of hiring. For one, employers are no longer going to be limited to candidates in their own backyards. In theory, this should help improve diversity — a lingering challenge in the tech sector — and enhance the overall quality of of tech hires. Only time will tell, but it's a promising start.

Here's a closer look at some of the most in-demand technology roles for the year ahead.
cloud engineers
The shift to remote work brought new challenges for companies in most industries, but it was certainly a boon for those in the cloud space. In fact, organizations have been making record-setting investments in cloud services, and that trend shows no signs of slowing down. The same is true for almost every role related to the cloud — like automation QA testing in the cloud, infosec analysts with experience securing a cloud environment, DevOps developers with experience in cloud environments and more. You can also see that reflected in the fact that there were more than 40,000 jobs posted for cloud engineers in the last 12 months alone. For employers looking to land these skilled professionals, meeting that compensation expectation is simply going to be table stakes.
Cloud engineers themselves, meanwhile, appear to have rapidly adjusted to our new normal, seamlessly transitioning from collocated work arrangements to distributed remote teams. For employers looking to hire these professionals, on the other hand, there will be considerable hurdles to overcome — and sourcing and attracting talent isn't the only one. How will you effectively onboard remote employees into your organization, for example? That should be a focus area for HR teams going into 2021.
devops developers
DevOps developers are masters of all things ASP.NET, Microsoft's application framework that allows developers to create web applications and services. This framework is a key part of the value proposition for many advanced tech companies today, so it comes as no surprise that demand for these professionals is currently skyrocketing: There were nearly 50,000 jobs posted for DevOps developers in the last 12 months. For employers, meanwhile, the average time-to-fill for these roles is north of 50 days.
That likely means many would-be employers today are instead suffering from key vacancies in their IT departments. Worse, with average annual salaries for DevOps developers at $137,830 — higher even than the average for cloud engineers — organizations should expect to spend considerable budget just to be in the running for skilled and experienced developers. It's a pay-to-play hiring environment, and there's simply no way around it.
Front-end developers are the visual artists of the web development world, translating UI/UX designs and wireframes into code that transforms websites into visually compelling experiences that are also easy to navigate. There's a lot riding on their shoulders, in other words, and the high number of job postings for these professionals — 36,306 in the last 12 months alone — clearly reflects that.
Plus, with 15 percent growth forecast over the next 10 years, employers eager to hire today's most gifted front-end developers will need to take an aggressive approach if they hope to deliver on their talent acquisition goals. Tactically, HR leaders should bear in mind that these candidates are often still early in their careers: the majority (59.9%) have between three and five years of experience in the field. Be sure to tailor your hiring strategies and prioritize the channels you invest in accordingly.
machine learning engineers
Slightly more specialized than DevOps or .NET developers, machine learning engineers are no less in demand, even if the number of job postings for these pros is dwarfed by the figures for those two other roles: 6,916 in the past 12 months (compared to 49,500 and 48,543, respectively). And with average annual salaries of $137,513, acquiring them can be an expensive proposition, too.
In the context of COVID-19, here as elsewhere the most significant disruption in the hiring process may be a broad-based flattening of geographic distinctions. In the past, demand for machine learning experts had largely been restricted to tech-heavy hubs like San Francisco, New York City and Boston. With the arrival of remote work en masse, however, job openings are far more likely to draw candidates from a wider geographic radius. That's certainly good news for companies — and just might make it easier to attract and hire these highly coveted pros in 2021.
security analysts
There has been an alarming increase in the frequency and severity of cyber attacks since the onset of the global pandemic. At this point, the FBI is receiving as many as 4,000 complaints per day related to cyber attacks, which represents a 400 percent increase over pre-COVID-19 levels. With malicious actors apparently hungry to take advantage of newly decentralized workforces — and with the overall cost of a single data breach for U.S.-based companies estimated to be $8.19 million — it's no wonder that security analysts are among the most sought-after tech professionals on the job market today.
However, for employers looking to hire these security experts, it's almost impossible to overstate the current level of demand: There were more than 166,000 jobs posted for security analysts in the last 12 months. And with 28 percent growth forecast for the next 10 years, that number will climb higher still. With such stiff competition — and such high stakes — employers should think seriously about their salary offerings for these vital security professionals. That may be the only way to get on the radar of the best candidates out there.
In sharp contrast to most other industries, the dynamics of talent supply and demand in the tech sector weren't radically upended in 2020. Several factors were behind that, not least of which the comparative ease with which sophisticated tech companies were able to transition to remote-work arrangements. At most of these companies, robust technical architecture was already in place and working from home a well-established routine. These proved to be two huge advantages, compared to other sectors.
Looking ahead, demand only appears to be going up. Expect the war for top tech talent to heat up throughout 2021, with an increased focus on skilling initiatives that will help businesses maintain continuity and gain a competitive edge. In the interim, forward-thinking leaders should start proactively working with HR teams to identify the right levers — whether that means salary increases, highly targeted outreach, new approaches to sourcing or even leveraging strategic partners — that will enable them to deliver on difficult talent acquisition goals in 2021.

When you have China travelin Suzhou, you should buy Suzhou Embroider as souvernir.
During the Spring and Autumn Period some 2,500 years ago, people from Wu State applied embroidery to clothes, and thus began the origin of Suzhou-style embroidery. Suzhou embroidery is world renowned for its exquisite, elegant, clear and beautiful artistic style.
The Suzhou Embroidery Museum was established in 1986 and was originally in the Fishing Master's Garden. In 1988, the museum was moved to Wang Ao's Ancestral Temple at No.262, Jingde Road.
Emperor Qianlong's imperial robe is one of the most precious items at the museum, boasting 42 dragon stripes, all embroidered with gold threads. The dragon stripes are intermingled with colorful cloud patterns, all in perfect harmony.
A buff thin silk cotton-padded gown and a bed quilt are probably the most historical exhibits. Embroidered with dragons, phoenixes, and flowers, the patterns are typical imperial symbols of the culture of Chu State of the Warring States Period some 2000 years ago. Both of them were unearthed from the No.1 Chu Tomb in Mashan, Jingzhou City of Hubei Province in 1982.
Most of the masterpieces are currently collected and exhibited by the Suzhou Embroidery Research Institute, which is located next to the museum. To keep the ancient needle art alive, research institutes and mills have been built since the 1950s in Suzhou, Nantong, Changzhou and Wuxi all of which are included in popular China tour package. The Suzhou Embroidery Research Institute, or SERI, has done an excellent job of studying, recording and promoting the traditional technique.
SERI embroiderers have expanded their unparalleled skills to explore new artistic directions, creating works that transcend conventional perceptions of embroidery to reveal a dynamic, exquisite art form. Some of the resulting embroideries incorporate as many as 40 different types of stitches and 300 hues of silk threads.
Here in the workshop we also discover an almost faded silk-weaving technique, Kesi. Master Zhong is busy on her age-old machine for a six-screen silk painting "Peony".
As a style of Chinese silk tapestry, Kesi is admired for its lightness and clarity of pattern. Kesi means "cut silk", a name that comes from the appearance of cut threads by the use of color in the pictorial designs typical of the style. Unlike continuous weft brocade, in Kesi each color area is woven from a separate bobbin, making the style both technically demanding and time-consuming.
No one can tell exactly how many embroidery mills are actively located in and around Suzhou. The art continues, and the embroiderers are creating new miracles. They stitch their talent, ingenuity, and constancy into history. But for tourists who are interested in the art of Suzhou embroidery, you should consider to buy one and don't make your China vacation deals in Suzhou a pity.
Chinese archaeologists are now carrying excavations in the Taklamakan Desert in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region which is part of Silk Road travel. The desert is the world's second largest shifting sand desert, covering an area of about 330,000 square kilometres. Archaeologists have recently found a large number of ancient buildings and Buddhist relics in the Damagou area of the desert. Let's take a closer look at what has been found over several decades.
A dry, frozen world where life is far and few between. Despite seeming empty to the naked eye, the area houses vast ancient treasures beneath its sand. It was here 117 years ago, that Sweden explorer Sven Anders Hedin found Buddhist relics in the area.
Zhang Yuzhong, Fmr Deputy Director of Xinjiang Archaeology Institute, said, "Prior to his trip, we all believe that there was no human activity in this desert. Hedin stayed here for 2 weeks. He discovered and marked 18 signs of ancient houses here. He also found some books from the Tang Dynasty."
Four years later, he returned to the desert to search for more treasures. During this trip, he discovered the ancient city of Loulan.
Zhang Yuzhong said, "The ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan country (now included in China vacation deals) in the Han Dynasty. It was built earlier than Dandanulik. We believe that the two discoveries mark a milestone in the archaeological history of Xinjiang."
In 1910, Xiaohe or the little river Tomb complex was discovered 175 kilometres away from the ancient city of Loulan.
In 1979, a 4000-year-old female corpse and the Ancient Tomb Valley of Kongque River was discovered at the ancient city of Loulan.
In 1995, Shu Tapestry, the best Chinese silk from Sichuan was discovered in the Ancient City of Niya in the desert. It was marked as one of the ten most important discoveries in China that year.
And the work hasn't stopped. Archaeologists are now scouring the desert again to unearth the country's ancient past.
If you want to know more info about Taklamakan Desert, you can contact with China tour operator.
If you plan to have popular China tours which include the local family visit, you should learn the dining etiquette in China.
Chinese dining etiquette has developed for a long history. According to the records, dining etiquette has formed a well-established system during the Zhou Dynasty, and then it becomes the important aspect of showing Chinese culture, civilization and tradition. In this article, the writer will introduce some of the etiquette to you and help you blend in China more quickly.
The biggest difference between China and western countries is westerners like to eat the food in front of them, on the contrary, Chinese people like to put all the dishes in the center of the table, and eat them together. The food you have picked up by the chopsticks should be put in your bowl before eating them, otherwise it is regarded impolite.
Cold dishes are firstly served to stimulate the appetite, and next dish is the hot soup, it will help you increase your body temperature, after all these are finished, the main dishes start. The finale food is dessert like red bean paste and sesame paste. There are also other types, such as pudding, pancakes, ice cream, they are equally tasty.
Wait until the soup is either too hot or too cold, sip the soup with a spoon. As for dinner, you should raise your bowl to your lip, push the rice into your mouth with the chopsticks. That is one of the easiest way to eat, and also a sign to show that you like the meal.
Few Chinese people drink wine when having meals, however, it plays an important role in the party or banquet. At beginning of the banquet the host should propose a toast first, it is of decency to make the guests drunk. If you cannot or don't want to drink, you should demonstrate at first so that the embarrassing scenes can be avoided.
1. Your invitation should be noticed in advance, it is not proper to invite your guests to the dinner at 5:45p.m if the dinner begins at 6:00p.m.
2. The hosts cannot be late for the dinner, however, if you are the guest it is appreciated to be late for 5-10min.
3. As a guest you shall not order the dishes unless the host asks you to do so.
4. If there is a pair of chopsticks or a spoon in the dish when it is served, use this to pick up the food, do not stir the food by your own chopsticks.
5. Do not talk while there is still some food in your mouth.
The above-mentioned dining knowledge is very useful and help you have an easy China travel.

Now, lost in a sea of hostile Clann faces, Sav tries to come to terms with what she's becoming and what that means for her future. And that someone is doing their best to bully her into making a terrible mistake.
Tristan can't believe Sav won't even talk to him. If being apart is her decision, fine. Just don't expect him to honour it. But even as he prepares to fight for the girl he loves, forces beyond their control take them in directions neither could have foreseen, prepared for...or possibly withstand.
A reckoning is coming...and not everyone will survive.
Whereas Crave is a cleverly realised story about the forbidden romance between a witch and a vampire, Covet is a tangibly different book in that it tackles how Savannah and Tristan handle being forced apart by their families. The previous book was filled with sweet agony and stolen kisses, but this one has a lot of heartbreak and tears, and focusses on the ties and promises that pull the duo apart, even as they struggle toward one another. I liked the book, and while I think the plot could have been stronger, I am eagerly waiting for the final instalment of the series: Consume.
One of my favourite things about this series is that it puts Tristan and Savannah on equal ground: they are both powerful and resilient and have the ability to save one another, which is refreshing in YA where protectiveness and power tends to be one-sided. I think both of them could have made different, smarter choices – Tristan should have seen sooner how everyone was interpreting his friendship with Bethany, and Savannah should have realised how her friendship with Ron looked to Tristan. Neither of them was doing anything wrong, but I felt their angst, caused by multiple misunderstandings, was a little prolonged. In contrast, I think the relationship between Ron and Anne provided a perfect counterpoint to Tristan and Savannah, and didn't begrudge the amount of time the book spent on it. It was wonderful to see that Savannah has such wonderful, supportive friends.
I liked the journeys of the other characters in the book, but feel that most of the big reveals are poorly executed. I figured out Ron's big secret as soon as he made his first deliberately vague statement, I thought it was clear who was tormenting Savannah and why, and Emily's secret was anything but – I saw through it the moment it began. I don't think these things were meant to be as glaringly obvious as I found them to be, so I feel like there should have been more effort put into this aspect of the book. Otherwise the plot is wonderful – Savannah's relationship with her father grows, Tristan becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his family and the Clann, and both of them expand as individuals and explore their powers, all to the backdrop of the Council and the Clann warily circling one another, eager for first blood.
How could two people seem so perfect together, be so happy together, and yet be so wrong in so many others' eyes?
Another thing that I liked was that Tristan respected Savannah's decision to break up with him – in a lot of YA the dumped party tends to become stalker-ish and forceful, but Tristan handled it pretty well. Having explored all his options and realised that there is no way out, I commended his maturity in letting go. This book is also blissfully devoid of the usual 'I have to stay away from you, but let's make out heavily and then feel guilty afterwards' moments — while there are a few moments of weakness for both of them, Savannah and Tristan are admirably strong and genuinely try to move on.
Despite finding the execution a little lacking, I am pleased to say that I really enjoyed Covet – it's a great follow-up to Crave. This series will make your heart ache, and I recommend it to fans of paranormal romances who are looking for something new. Bring on 2013 and Consume I say!
It is unique to find that both MCs are equal rather than only one of them, and it's great that while this wasn't fantastic, it was still a good sequel!

Falcon Heavy & Starman
Falcon Heavy & Starman When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Following liftoff, the two side boosters separated from the center core and returned to landing site for future reuse. Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster and its passenger, Starman, into orbit around the sun. At max velocity Starman and the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth.

If Qualcomm has put the package for its new Snapdragon 855 mobile platform, the US group has not forgotten its Microsoft partner in the Windows adventure on Arm. Until now, these computers "always connected" under Windows 10 were satisfied with Snapdragon smartphones chips, slightly adapted to the needs of PCs.
While the autonomy of these machines was impressive (up to 25 hours for this laptop from Lenovo), against the performance often left to be desired (read: 🐌 The first Windows 10 PC on ARM is a snail 🐌).
Qualcomm takes the bull by the horns and during the Snapdragon Summit, the company unveiled the Snapdragon 8cx platform developed specifically for Windows computers on Arm. Qualcomm does not take gloves: this system-on-chip is simply " the most extreme Snapdragon ever ! It slams.
On paper, this chip impresses. This is the first PC engine engraved in 7 nm (take that Intel!), Able to compete or even better than traditional "desktop" processors. The performance of the Snapdragon 8cx would be comparable to the Intel U Series processors (those of the MacBook Pro), whose thermal envelope is 15 watts – except that the chip of Qualcomm is satisfied with a TDP of 7 watts.
Compared to a Y series processor, similar to the Core i5 of the new MacBook Air, the Snapdragon 8cx would be 50% faster. On the graphical side, the Adreno 680 Extreme that sits next to the CPU is announced as twice as fast as the GPU of Snapdragon 850, the chip in the heart of Windows PCs on Arm released lately. It also supports two external 4K HDR monitors, compared to one before.
All without fan, and maintaining the aspect "always connected" and the autonomy of several days. The first Windows PCs on Arm equipped with Snapdragon 8cx will however only be launched from the third quarter of 2019.

Dan Riccio, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, has stated that the bent devices meet or exceed all of Apple's high quality standards of design and precision manufacturing.
The standards allow for up to a 400 micron variance (0.4 millimetres) in the flatness of the new iPad Pros. He also says the allowed variance is less than that of previous models.
If your iPad Pro is bent more than this out of the box you should take it back to Apple immediately for a replacement.
The latest generation iPads do seem to be a little less durable than previous models and Apple will charge to repair accidentally bent iPads.
This position from Apple is unlikely to silence the complaints and may lead to a Bendgate 2.0 controversy similar to the one that affected the iPhone 6.


About/Description: This four-week program will be tailored around continuing to gain velocity as you start to build up your arm for the upcoming season. We will guide you through a functional movement warm-up that will include the proper resistance band training, weighted ball implementation, core activation, and stability needed to maintain a healthy and efficient body. Pitchers will also be transitioning into a progression where they will face hitters every week. And will have a built-in recovery workout.
About/Description: This four-week program will continue to evolve as we challenge the hitter with efficient movement patterns while building up their ability to make consistent, hard contact. Hitters will have individualized constraints built into their routine and will be challenged to solve environmental problems that offer them the ability to create motor-pattern learning organically.
About/Description: As the backbone of the diamond, the catcher is a field general who often has enormous responsibility placed upon him. Receiving, blocking, and throwing will be given heavy emphasis in this class, but we will also cover other crucial aspects of the game -- including pitch calling, footwork, and other tactical skills.

American children watch an average of four hours of television daily. Television can be a powerful influence in developing value systems and shaping behavior.
Unfortunately, much of today's television programming is violent. Hundreds of studies of the effects of TV violence on children and teenagers have found that children may become "immune" or numb to the horror of violence, gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems, imitate the violence they observe on television, and identify with certain characters, victims and/or victimizers.
Extensive viewing of television violence by children causes greater aggressiveness. Sometimes, watching a single violent program can increase aggressiveness. Children who view shows in which violence is very realistic, frequently repeated, or unpunished, are more likely to imitate what they see.
Children with emotional, behavioral, learning, or impulse control problems may be more easily influenced by TV violence. The impact of TV violence may be immediately evident in the child's behavior or may surface years later. Young people can even be affected when the family atmosphere shows no tendency toward violence.
While TV violence is not the only cause of aggressive or violent behavior, it is clearly a significant factor.
Point out that although the actor has not actually been hurt or killed, such violence in real life results in pain or death.
Refuse to let the children see shows known to be violent, and change the channel or turn off the TV set when offensive material comes on, with an explanation of what is wrong with the program.
Disapprove of the violent episodes in front of the children, stressing the belief that such behavior is not the best way to resolve a problem.
To offset peer pressure among friends and classmates, contact other parents and agree to enforce similar rules about the length of time and type of program the children may watch.
Parents can also use these measures to prevent harmful effects from television in other areas such as racial or sexual stereotyping.

Beres Hammond OJ (born Hugh Beresford Hammond; 28 August 1955, in Annotto Bay, Saint Mary, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae singer known in particular for his lovers rock music.  While his career began in the 1970s, he reached his greatest success in the 1990s.

Biography
Born the ninth of ten children, Hammond grew up listening to his father's collection of American soul and jazz music including Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. He was further influenced by the native music of ska and rocksteady, in particular Alton Ellis.

Hammond began participating in local talent contests from 1972 to 1973, which led to his first recording, of Ellis' "Wanderer". In 1975 he joined the band, Zap Pow, as lead singer, leading to the hit 1978 single, "The System" under the Aquarius Records label. However, he simultaneously sought a solo career, releasing his debut album, Soul Reggae, in 1976. His solo ballads "One Step Ahead" (1976) and Joe Gibbs produced "I'm in Love" (1978), were both hits in Jamaica. He left Zap Pow in 1979 to pursue his solo career, and recorded two more albums Let's Make A Song in 1980 and Red Light 1981.  He formed Tuesday's Children, a harmony group that toured but never recorded.

Hammond formed his own record label, Harmony House Records, in 1985 for the release of his Make a Song album, which had two Jamaican chart-toppers that were influenced by the emerging dancehall style: "Groovy Little Thing" and "What One Dance Can Do". The latter, produced by Willie Lindo, began to break Hammond into the international market.  He scored another hit in 1986 with "Settling Down" on his eponymous release.  He left his fame in Jamaica for New York City in 1987, after being tied up as thieves ransacked his house during a home invasion. There he recorded the Have a Nice Weekend album and the duet single "How Can We Ease the Pain" with Maxi Priest.

Hammond returned briefly to Jamaica to record Putting Up Resistance, which was significantly harder than his typical ballads, produced by Tappa Zukie, which spawned the hits "Putting Up Resistance" and "Strange". He signed with Penthouse Records in 1990 and returned to Jamaica permanently to record the dancehall smash "Tempted to Touch", with producer Donovan Germain. This is perhaps his best known song in the United States and United Kingdom, and set the foundation for the hits "Is This a Sign" and "Respect to You Baby" on the 1992 A Love Affair album. Also in 1992, Beres released the single "Fire". The song received critical acclaim within the Reggae music industry and it was an extremely sought after 7" single. Now garnering interest from major studios such as Elektra Records, Hammond recorded five more albums in the 1990s as well as several compilations, establishing himself as one of the top lovers rock artists.  His first album of the new millennium was 2001's Music Is Life, which featured an appearance by Wyclef Jean, and contributions from Earl "Chinna" Smith and Flourgon. The album spawned several hits, including "They Gonna Talk", "Rockaway" and "Ain't It Good To Know". The 2004 release Love Has No Boundaries, had guest spots by Buju Banton and Big Youth.

Hammond returned to Jamaica to perform at the Opening Ceremony for the Cricket World Cup 2007, and the next year, in 2008, he released album A Moment in Time, on VP Records, which featured the single "I Feel Good". After 4 years, which is 2012, Hammond released album One Love, One Life topped the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. In 2013, Hammond was awarded the Order of Jamaica by the Jamaican government in recognition of his "exceptional and dedicated contribution to the Jamaican music industry" right before his album  One Love, One Life was nominated for a Grammy Award in January 2014. For almost six years since album One Love, One Life released, Hammond released album, Never Ending in October 2018, which features contributions from musicians including Errol Holt, Mafia & Fluxy, Dean Fraser, and Robbie Lyn. After its first week of release, it topped the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart.

In 2019 Beres Hammond toured the United States and Canada.  The Never Ending tour started in late July in Danbury, Connecticut.  It also made stops in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Newark, Huntington (New York), Richmond (Virginia), Washington D.C., Norfolk (Virginia), Charlotte (North Carolina), Atlanta, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.

On February 28, 2021, Harmony House and VP Records presented Love From A Distance Live, a streaming event with guest appearances by Buju Banton, Marcia Griffiths, and Popcaan during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine. The show was streamed on Hammond's Facebook page and VP Records' YouTube page, and up to March 1, VP Records' stream was trending at number five.

Our goal with the HPS40 was to develop a user-friendly, feature-packed and genuinely "hand-held" oscilloscope. A number of characteristics were on our wish list: low noise, high sensitivity, modest weight, a backlit LCD and a choice between regular batteries or rechargeable ones. Furthermore, the scope also offers a selection of 5 different screen layouts. Both novices and professional users will admire the fast and fully automatic setup function, allowing them to perform measurements without physically touching the unit! Floating measurements are completely safe thanks to the battery-powered operation and the (included) fully insulated measuring probe. These features make the HSP40 indispensable to the professional user, service centers and even to the hobbyist.

Cases reported "Kwashiorkor"
1/21. A case of kwashiorkor in the UK.
A case of kwashiorkor in a British child of Caucasian origin is described. The 5-year-old boy was referred to hospital for investigation of a persistent anaemia, but on examination was found to have classical features of kwashiorkor. He was stunted with both height and weight below the fifth centile and had mild pitting oedema in both legs. His hair was pale and easily pluckable and a soft liver edge was palpable. plasma albumin concentration was 16 g/l and the plasma amino acid pattern, which revealed markedly reduced levels of essential but normal to high non-essential amino acids, was similar to that described in kwashiorkor in uganda. A dietary history revealed that for about 2 years the child's diet had contained very little protein but adequate energy and had been supplemented with multivitamin pills. There was no evidence of other pathology, neglect or abuse and the child responded rapidly to refeeding with a balanced diet.
keywords = protein
2/21. kwashiorkor in patients with AIDS.
kwashiorkor, a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition that entails loss of lean body weight, occurs endemically among children in many parts of the world but also has been documented in adults. We report a case of kwashiorkor in an hiv-positive adult male. Cutaneous findings are striking, and skin, hair, and nails are affected. Although kwashiorkor occurs in patients with hiv-AIDS, the skin manifestations have not been emphasized in the dermatologic literature. Indeed, dermatologists may play a vital role in diagnosing this treatable condition.
3/21. Severe nutritional deficiencies in toddlers resulting from health food milk alternatives.
It is widely appreciated that health food beverages are not appropriate for infants. Because of continued growth, children beyond infancy remain susceptible to nutritional disorders. We report on 2 cases of severe nutritional deficiency caused by consumption of health food beverages. In both cases, the parents were well-educated, appeared conscientious, and their children received regular medical care. Diagnoses were delayed by a low index of suspicion. In addition, nutritional deficiencies are uncommon in the united states and as a result, US physicians may be unfamiliar with their clinical features. Case 1, a 22-month-old male child, was admitted with severe kwashiorkor. He was breastfed until 13 months of age. Because of a history of chronic eczema and perceived milk intolerance, he was started on a rice beverage after weaning. On average, he consumed 1.5 L of this drink daily. Intake of solid foods was very poor. As this rice beverage, which was fallaciously referred to as rice milk, is extremely low in protein content, the resulting daily protein intake of 0.3 g/kg/day was only 25% of the recommended dietary allowance. In contrast, caloric intake was 72% of the recommended energy intake, so the dietary protein to energy ratio was very low. A photograph of the patient after admission illustrates the typical features of kwashiorkor: generalized edema, hyperpigmented and hypopigmented skin lesions, abdominal distention, irritability, and thin, sparse hair. Because of fluid retention, the weight was on the 10th percentile and he had a rotund sugar baby appearance. Laboratory evaluation was remarkable for a serum albumin of 1.0 g/dL (10 g/L), urea nitrogen <0.5 mg/dL (<0.2 mmol/L), and a normocytic anemia with marked anisocytosis. Evaluation for other causes of hypoalbuminemia was negative. Therapy for kwashiorkor was instituted, including gradual refeeding, initially via a nasogastric tube because of severe anorexia. Supplements of potassium, phosphorus, multivitamins, zinc, and folic acid were provided. The patient responded dramatically to refeeding with a rising serum albumin and total resolution of the edema within 3 weeks. At follow-up 1 year later he continued to do well on a regular diet supplemented with a milk-based pediatric nutritional supplement. The mortality of kwashiorkor remains high, because of complications such as infection (kwashiorkor impairs cellular immune defenses) and electrolyte imbalances with ongoing diarrhea. Children in industrialized countries have developed kwashiorkor resulting from the use of a nondairy creamer as a milk alternative, but we were unable to find previous reports of kwashiorkor caused by a health food milk alternative. We suspect that cases have been overlooked. Case 2, a 17-month-old black male, was diagnosed with rickets. He was full-term at birth and was breastfed until 10 months of age, when he was weaned to a soy health food beverage, which was not fortified with vitamin d or calcium. Intake of solid foods was good, but included no animal products. Total daily caloric intake was 114% of the recommended dietary allowance. Dietary vitamin d intake was essentially absent because of the lack of vitamin d-fortified milk. The patient lived in a sunny, warm climate, but because of parental career demands, he had limited sun exposure. His dark complexion further reduced ultraviolet light-induced endogenous skin synthesis of vitamin d. The patient grew and developed normally until after his 9-month check-up, when he had an almost complete growth arrest of both height and weight. The parents reported regression in gross motor milestones. On admission the patient was unable to crawl or roll over. He could maintain a sitting position precariously when so placed. Conversely, his language, fine motor-adaptive, and personal-social skills were well-preserved. Generalized hypotonia, weakness, and decreased muscle bulk were present. Clinical features of rickets present on examination included: frontal bossing, an obvious rachitic rosary (photographed), genu varus, flaring of the wrists, and lumbar kyphoscoliosis. The serum alkaline phosphatase was markedly elevated (1879 U/L), phosphorus was low (1.7 mg/dL), and calcium was low normal (8.9 mg/dL). The 25-hydroxy-vitamin d level was low (7.7 pg/mL) and the parathyroid hormone level was markedly elevated (114 pg/mL). The published radiographs are diagnostic of advanced rickets, showing diffuse osteopenia, frayed metaphyses, widened epiphyseal plates, and a pathologic fracture of the ulna. The patient was treated with ergocalciferol and calcium supplements. The published growth chart demonstrates the dramatic response to therapy. Gross motor milestones were fully regained within 6 months. The prominent neuromuscular manifestations shown by this patient serve as a reminder that rickets should be considered in the differential diagnosis of motor delay. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED)
4/21. kwashiorkor in the united states: fad diets, perceived and true milk allergy, and nutritional ignorance.
BACKGROUND: kwashiorkor is the edematous form of protein-energy malnutrition. It is associated with extreme poverty in developing countries and with chronic malabsorptive conditions such as cystic fibrosis in developed countries. Rare cases of kwashiorkor in affluent countries unrelated to chronic illness have been reported. We present 12 cases of kwashiorkor unrelated to chronic illness seen over 9 years by pediatric dermatologists throughout the united states, and discuss common causative themes in this easily preventable condition. OBSERVATIONS: Twelve children were diagnosed as having kwashiorkor in 7 tertiary referral centers throughout the united states. The diagnoses were based on the characteristic rash and the overall clinical presentation. The rash consisted of an erosive, crusting, desquamating dermatitis sometimes with classic "pasted-on" scale-the so-called flaky paint sign. Most cases were due to nutritional ignorance, perceived milk intolerance, or food faddism. Half of the cases were the result of a deliberate deviation to a protein-deficient diet because of a perceived intolerance of formula or milk. Financial and social stresses were a factor in only 2 cases, and in both cases social chaos was more of a factor than an absolute lack of financial resources. Misleading dietary histories and the presence of edema masking growth failure obscured the clinical picture in some cases. CONCLUSIONS: physicians should consider the diagnosis of kwashiorkor in children with perceived milk allergies resulting in frequent dietary manipulations, in children following fad or unorthodox diets, or in children living in homes with significant social chaos. The presence of edema and "flaky paint" dermatitis should prompt a careful dietary investigation.
5/21. Can the growth of a neuroblastoma be influenced by a child's nutritional state? Observations in a patient treated for kwashiorkor and later given a restricted diet.
A 17-month-old Thai female with neuroblastoma presented with an abdominal mass and the classical findings of kwashiorkor. Concomitant with effective repair of the child's protein deficit, the mass enlarged dramatically and metastases were noted. This is the first known report of such an occurrence.
6/21. Rice nightmare: kwashiorkor in 2 philadelphia-area infants fed Rice Dream beverage.
A 14-month-old girl and a 7-month-old boy each presented with a diffuse dermatitis, whole body edema, and hypoalbuminemia. The diets of both infants consisted almost entirely of Rice Dream, a rice-based, protein-poor beverage. Both infants were diagnosed with kwashiorkor, which resolved with protein supplementation. Clues from the physical examination, a diet history, appropriate laboratory examinations, and an index of suspicion are crucial in promptly diagnosing and treating infants with kwashiorkor. Manufacturers of rice beverages should appropriately warn parents about the dangers of using their products as infant nourishment.
7/21. Tropical calcific pancreatitis presenting as kwashiorkor.
Tropical clacific pancreatitis can be accompanied by varying degrees of malnutrition but full-blown kwashiorkor is an extremely rare presentation. We report the case of a 10-year-old male who presented with clinical features of severe kwashiorkor. He had extensive pancreatic clacification and exocrine pancreatic deficiency. The child was treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement, and enteral nutrition supplemented with vitamins and micronutrients. Following therapy, he started gaining weight, the skin changes partly disappeared and his hair resumed its normal black colour.
8/21. Nondairy-creamer-induced kwashiorkor: 5-year follow-up.
failure to thrive may not be a result of organ disease, physical abuse, or intentional neglect. We describe an infant who developed kwashiorkor with a high-fat, low-protein, nondairy coffee creamer diet. The elimination diet was administered on the advice of a family friend for a facial rash. The child presented at 10 months of age with decreased weight for height, rash, hepatomegaly, edema, hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, anemia, hypoglycemia, and evidence of hepatic sequestration of lipids. A rapid recovery of biochemical abnormalities was evident on reinstitution of a full diet. An intellectual assessment at age 5 years showed normal results.
9/21. Weanling diarrhea: a case report.
This case report describes a 14-month-old Guatemalan boy suffering from diarrhea and malnutrition. He had been healthy and experienced normal growth until weaning, which began at six months of age. Introduction of semisolid foods at this time was accompanied by bouts of diarrhea and a reduced growth rate. After admission to hospital at 14 months of age, he was found to have protein-energy malnutrition of the edematous type (kwashiorkor) and to be infected with giardia lamblia. Therapy with metronidazole and a high-protein diet resulted in satisfactory weight gain and cessation of the diarrhea.
10/21. lactose intolerance in protein-energy malnutrition: a clinical case study and family study using a hydrogen (H2) breath-analysis test for carbohydrate malabsorption.
A non-invasive, interval sampling hydrogen (H2) breath-analysis test for carbohydrate malabsorption was used in a 3 year-old Guatemalan child with severe protein-energy malnutrition (kwashiorkor) and in this relatives: mother half-sister and step-father to examine genetic and nutritional factors in lactose intolerance in young children. Clinical lactose intolerance was present in the patient on admission, and lactose malabsorption, even of 0.88 g per kg of weight, persisted after complete nutritional recobly due to gastric retention of the substrate. Malabsorption of a physiological dose of lactose, 12.5 g, was detected in the mother and step-father while their daughter exhibited normal growth and development and normal lactose absorption at 8 months of age. The H2 breath test proved to be a sensitive, well-tolerated procedure for both adults and young children. Pitfalls, such as delayed gastric emptying, absence of normal bacterial flora, prior use of antibiotics, must be considered in interpreting H2 breath test results in children.

Today could be the day for Inter to close the deal for Fiorentina midfielder Borja Valero. The player, during vacation, spoke to fans that it is either going to Inter or the stands for the season. Inter and Fiorentina are still discussing the amount of money involved in the transaction.


Covered in impenetrable forests and lined with craggy coastlines, Alaska has achieved almost a mythic status as the Last Frontier – a land of hardy explorers and off-the-grid adventurers, raw wilderness and crevasse-cut glaciers. But how easy is it to get a sense of the call of the wild that draws so many people to this state? To find out, I followed in the footsteps of the American artist Rockwell Kent, whose urge to explore led him to live in a cabin on a barely inhabited island off the coast of Alaska, 100 years ago.
A light rain falls as I disembark the ferry from the mainland town of Seward, Alaska, and step down the gangway to the black-pebble beach. Twin peaks bracket the shore, forming a protected cove lined with spruce. Driftwood is scattered along the waterline like matchsticks. This is Fox Island, Alaska, my home for the next few days. Just under three and a half miles in length, and barely a mile wide, the island is a dot in the fjords and bays that line southern Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
One hundred years before my arrival, the American painter Rockwell Kent came to Fox Island with his nine-year-old son. His plan: to work on his paintings while having a 'quiet adventure in the wilderness', as he wrote in his journals, published a few years later under the title Wilderness. I'm here to find out what first brought Kent into the wilderness, and what continues to draw a steady trickle of people to this part of Alaska.
To get a higher vantage point, I hike up to a ridge strung between the island's mountains like a hammock. Dewy ferns and sponge-like moss blanket the forest floor. Magpies chatter in the trees. After an hour on the muddy trail, I stop at the top of a 400-foot cliff. Through the bramble, I see the peaks that form the southwestern border of the Chugach National Forest – hard, rugged, seemingly impenetrable.
Of course, Alaska Natives lived on the Kenai Peninsula long before solitude-seekers came to Fox Island. It's naïve to think that Kent's feet were the first to stand on the ridge, or that the next hiker isn't far behind me. Still, at the top of the ridge, with the wind gusting through the trees, a person in any century can have at least a brief moment of discovery. Luckily for me, there aren't any banana peels around.
When the weather clears, I maneuver myself into a red sea-kayak and head out into the calm waters of the cove, accompanied by a group of other paddlers and two guides. The sky is a bowl of pure blue, with just a dusting of cloud ringing the mountains across the bay. We head north along the cove, inspecting the orange starfish that cling to the rocks. As we round the headland, the waters grow rough. Waves threaten to topple the kayak, and I'm suddenly sympathetic to Kent's plight: having just a small boat as his lifeline to Seward. We hug the cliff, seeking harbor from the deeper water. Distraction comes in the form of our first wildlife sighting: a seal on top of a seaweed-clad rock, head cocked in curiosity.
It takes almost an hour of fighting the wind and waves before we round the northern tip of Fox Island. The eastern range of mountains that line the Kenai Peninsula come into view. Blue-green peaks rise out of the turquoise water as spruce-covered slopes, recalling Kent's illustrations: mountains captured in solid black lines with lighter strokes to indicate shadow and trees – early drafts of the paintings for which he would become famous.
Whispers of orcas pass among the passengers of my ferry from Fox Island back to Seward. It's late in the season for whale-spotting, but rumors of their appearance in the Gulf of Alaska have passengers on the teal-painted top deck giddy with excitement.
When we're fully in the Gulf of Alaska, the captain announces over the intercom that they've spotted a superpod of orcas, the term used when a large group of orcas come together to feed. Passengers shift to the rails on the bow. In the distance, a black dorsal fin appears on the horizon. Soon, everywhere I look there are black-bodied orcas surfacing in twos and threes. Suddenly there's one in the air, twisting like a gymnast. Sunlight glints off its obsidian flanks, and cameras clatter in high-speed bursts. Then, as quickly as it appeared, the whale is gone, and a brief bloom of ocean water settles into the flat horizon. The crowd applauds, each of us enthralled by the adventure before us. A thrill indeed.
On the deck of the ferry, I wonder if that same experience is possible here today. The air is clear, fresh with the chill of the changing season. As I look toward the mainland, a bald eagle rides a thermal above the peninsula in Resurrection Bay, circling higher over the spruce until it's a tiny speck in the sky. Below it, a valley is studded with ice. The view is not far different to what Kent saw 100 years ago.

My second day in South Africa was again, incredible! Whilst I was planning my trip, I knew if there was one thing I did culture wise, it would be to ride an elephant. I'd found a sanctuary which was the best place to do it as the other parks are very touristy and there are rumours that they can be very cruel. I guess you never know what goes on "behind close doors" but I'd done my research and made sure I was going to the best possible place. When I arrived in South Africa, however, I wasn't expecting to fulfil one of my life long dreams (and a huge thing to tick off my bucket list!) on my second day in the country!
On Saturday I had a chance encounter with three lovely angels. Three wild; caramel coloured; woolly; orphaned caracal kittens of about 4-5 weeks old popped into my life. Their location will remain a secret, as this announcement will most likely not be popular with farmers.


One of the questions I'm often asked is "What's the best brand?". Everyone wants to find that one cosmetic company you can always trust and buy blindly. However, as appealing as this idea might be, it's not that simple. From the sad but true fact that something that works for one person (be it a color or a skin care product) might be terribly wrong for another, to the even sadder one that every company that I can think of, including my most favorites, has some flops in its line.
I'm not entirely sure in which of the above categories to place L'Occiane's Honey Face Cream. I love their bath and body products. I use several of their body washes and lotions and consider their Ultra Rich Shea Butter Cream as my holy grail and the standard measure for any good body product. But my little skin care detour with a sample of this honey cream was pretty awful.
I should have guessed it's not for me when upon application the cream just floated there on my skin, not absorbing or moisturizing. The morning after breakouts were my punishment for this one night stand. I will not be messing up with my current routine any time soon.
That happened to me also. My friend raved about a cream (forgot what the name was) she bought. I couldn't resist giving it a try, so I got a sample and tried it out. 10 minutes prior of applying it to my face, my face turned red and irritated. I regret getting it (even though it was a free sample)!


1. Lease agreements. A commercial lease is much different than a residential lease, and unlike renting an apartment, renting office space is something that should be negotiated. There are clauses in commercial leases that could make you responsible for a share of the building's operating expenses, or use restrictions that may limit how your business can grow.
2. Entity selection. Choosing how you will structure your business legally and financially should not be done without the help of an experienced business attorney who can help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of operating as a sole proprietorship, limited liability company (LLC) , S-corporation, C-corporation or partnership. Putting the wrong structure in place could cost you plenty to unwind it if it doesn't support the growth of your business.
3. Partnership agreement. If you have a partner in your new venture, you will need a partnership agreement that spells out how profits and losses are allocated and other important issues to create a viable framework for operating the business.
4. Intellectual property. Every business will have some type of intellectual property to protect via a patent, trademark or copyright. However, before you throw money at IP protection, consult with an attorney to determine the right IP strategy considering what needs to be protected and the financial resources you have available.
5. Insurance. Typically, you will likely need general liability insurance as well as property insurance for your new business. Depending on the nature of your business, the officers and directors of your company may also need insurance to protect them from business liability (D&O insurance). You will need to check your lease agreement for any insurance requirements as well.
6. Employment Matters. Your biggest risk in business often comes from working with your own team. You will need to be familiar with both state and federal employment laws that will govern your relationship with employees and independent contractors.
Our business attorneys will guide you through the right choice of business entity, location of business entity, start up agreements, intellectual property protection, employment structuring, insurance, financial and tax systems you need to start your next business and succeed right out of the gate.

There is much to be learned from the mistakes of others and the celebrity world abounds with cautionary tales when it comes to estate planning. Even with all the financial resources available to them, celebrities can neglect the basics when it comes to protecting assets.
We come across sad tales all the time of "regular" people failing to take the proper steps to create an estate plan that assures their assets pass properly and that their heirs are spared from having to untangle costly legal messes.
1. Don't die without a will. Celebrities are the same as most people when it comes to thinking they will live forever – but they differ greatly in that they usually have a lot more money to leave behind. Actor Heath Ledger died without updating his will to include his daughter; all his assets went to his parents and siblings.
2. Equal isn't always the same. Thinking she was treating her two children equally in her bequest, one woman left her home to her son and her investment portfolio to her daughter. Unfortunately, when she died, there was a sizeable tax liability on the home, and the only assets available were from the portfolio, leaving the daughter shortchanged.
3. Name the right executor. Naming a friend as executor is fine, but not always the best option. One woman named her best friend as her executor, but they happened to be the same age. When the woman died at age 86, her friend followed a few weeks later and no one was left to serve as executor since she hadn't named a backup.
4. Provide for your children from a prior marriage. A man with children from a first marriage left all his assets to his second wife; when she died, all of those assets went to her children, leaving nothing for his children. Instead, he should have provided for them directly or placed his assets in a trust so they could pass to his children after her death.
5. Promises don't count. Before he died, Marlon Brando allegedly promised his house to his caregiver but did not record that promise in his will. She did not get the house. If you want to leave something to someone, you need to put it in writing in your will or a trust.

Guardian(s)/Conservators are court-appointed persons to provide day-to-day care for a child or a legally incapacitated person, managing and being responsible for his/her personal business.
Tax adviser, if other than the CPA, financial or legal professional.
A key player on this team is the estate's attorney. He or she is hired to handle the estate's legal matters. Estate attorneys are specialized attorneys who practice solely or primarily in estate planning matters. An estate planning attorney can be extremely beneficial in cases where highly sophisticated, specialized expertise is needed. This may often include issues of taxation, evaluation, litigation, international commerce, securities, and commercial real estate transactions. This is also true with trusts and the business interests.
New Hampshire Magazine's May 2015 issue contains an article titled "Don't put off writing down your last words." The article admits that the likelihood of two people who have at least one child under the age of 18 dying simultaneously is quite low. Even so, for many young parents death seems like a long ways away. Parents of all ages should have their affairs in order—including naming guardians for their minor children.
If you just can't decide on a guardian, you should still move ahead with your estate planning. It is better to have this issue undecided than to die without a will. That said, the article suggests that it's a good idea to nominate two people. That way you have one to be the guardian of the children and a second to be a trustee of the funds dedicated to their care. Also, your second choice is better than making no choice at all and leaving the decision up to a judge who knows nothing about your values or your children.
Living longer changes the dynamics of financial planning. Old age can be very expensive. Everyone is different and there is no way to predict the future. That is the challenge of planning for later years. Challenging to predict your future lifestyle, including where you will live, and challenging to estimate the cost of growing old. The ultimate trade-off of financial planning is whether to spend now or save for a rainy day. How do you really know what is best since the future is unknown?
Marriage. A will dictates how you want your assets distributed upon your death, and when you marry, you will likely want your spouse to inherit. If you have children from another marriage, you will need to account for their inheritance as well. You'll very likely want to add on a Trust to protect and provide for children of a prior marriage, if you do not have one already.
Middle Age. As we get older, we usually accumulate more assets, which may include valuable antiques, art collections, etc. These assets can be distributed to your heirs via your will, and should be included as they are acquired.
Divorce. If you get a divorce and then die without changing your will, your ex can inherit your assets.
Widowed. If your spouse predeceases you, you will need to revise your will to distribute assets to heirs who are still alive.
Relocation. Since state laws differ on inheritance, you should have your will reviewed and updated if you relocate to another state.
If you wish to avoid probate altogether, then you should consider placing your assets in a trust so they pass to your heirs directly without the expense and hassle of a drawn-out court process.

A common estate planning mistake many people make – including celebrities like Michael Jackson – is not ensuring the trust you have created holds all your assets. Unfortunately, most lawyers simply do not make sure this is properly handled for their clients, so if you've worked with any law office other than ours, you need to double check this critical issue. If you do not transfer your assets into your trust, it is an empty shell and does nothing to accomplish the objectives you had in mind when you established it.
Stock certificates – you will need to send a completed "stock power" form as well as a W-9 form with your tax ID number with the original stock certificates to the company's transfer agent. If you own the company, our business department can assist you.

You may have heard of inheritance scams before, but this one is slightly different.
Normally a scammer pretends to be an attorney or estate agent. They tell a potential victim that the victim has inherited a large fortune from an estranged or long lost relative. However, before the victim can get the inheritance, the scammer claims that the victim must cough up large sums of money to pay off taxes or other debts that the estate holds.
A woman in Brooklyn is alleged to have turned this standard inheritance scam around.
She forged bank documents to make it look like she had received an inheritance for $13 million in cash. She then went to her friends and convinced some of them that to get the cash she needed money to pay the estate's taxes and debts.
She is alleged to have conned $300,000 from up to ten people.
The New York Post has more on the story in a recent article titled "Woman busted in $300K inheritance scam: DA."
Avoiding inheritance scams is easy.
If someone you do not know asks for money concerning an inheritance, especially if it seems too good to be true, consult with an estate attorney before spending any money.
If the person objects to you receiving the advice of an attorney, run away!
No legitimate estate administrator would object to an attorney being consulted.
In this particular case, the attorney would have told the victims that any taxes or other debts could have been paid out of the cash in the estate, if in fact the inheritance were real.


Grace Iris Ministries is a Christian ministry headquartered in Bobbili, India, in the far northeastern section of the state of Andhra Pradesh. The ministry is built upon the foundation laid by Canadian Baptist Missionaries, Rev. George and Matilda Churchill who began their work in October of 1878. What is today Grace Iris Ministries is carrying on the same faithful Christian service. This ministry serves Bobbili and the rural surrounding region with ministries which include: a Christian boarding school (~150 students), a network of local pastors and churches, pastoral training (lead by Dr. Josh Powell, graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary), church-planting, medical and dental camps, clothing and rice distribution, goat distribution, women's prayer groups (up to 800 women), bore well drilling, and other activities to help support and serve their local villages and communities. Grace Iris Ministries seeks to be a blessing and light to their Hindu and Muslim neighbors, as well as their brothers and sisters in Christ.
This ministry needs your prayers. As a board of directors we hope to generate support for this tremendous ministry, but the support this ministry MUST HAVE is the blessing and power of God. Without God's sustaining work this ministry will fail (John 15:5). Though our support is important, the fact is no amount of monetary, material, or training support can overcome the obstacles this ministry faces in its goal of glorifying God and seeing the people of India come to know Jesus Christ as their savior. A miracle is required for this work to continue and to continue to be fruitful in its endeavor. Please look over this website and pray for the leaders, administrators, children, pastors, church-planters, and all the believers that make up Grace Iris Ministries.


Business fraud can occur in many contexts. The seller of a business may misrepresent the financial condition of the enterprise.

These and other types of business fraud can prove very costly to a company.
