Have you ever wanted to share your Microsoft Access application to users outside of your LAN? Typically, this means either rewriting it as a Web application or implementing replication but the Cloud changes all that. The following article will show you simple steps to moving your Microsoft Access database to the Cloud.
I was introduced to Classic ASP programming back in 1999 and I immediately saw it as a simple way to put my Access database on the web. I wrote a couple of articles that described how to simulate an Access datasheet with full update, insert and delete functionality. In 2006 I created a generic Access form with the code to generate the stub (now called scaffolding) code that will convert any Access table into a Classic ASP page. These articles are still available on the Database Journal website.
Maintaining data integrity and consistency in Classic ASP for multiple users is nearly impossible.
Your rich Access programs probably need more than simple, simulated datasheets.
There's an alternative ... migrate to the Cloud.
Before we go any further, there is a caveat you need to be apprised of: this solution only works for data stored in SQL Server. The client piece can continue as an Access version n.0 application but the data must be up-sized to some flavor of SQL Server. Thankfully, this is relatively simple and painless albeit beyond the scope of this particular article.
I'm probably not the best authority to answer this question but I have been researching it for about 4 months now and I think I have a few things figured out. It's worth mentioning that I'm not the only person confused about this topic. There are at least three similar offerings that come to mind when one thinks of "the Cloud" and though they may deliver a similar experience, they each have their own peculiarities.
The Access solution I'm about to describe fits the first category, simple SQL Server hosting through an ISP like discount ASP.net. SaaS more closely resembles Google Documents where, in addition to hosting the user's files, the software that manages the file is itself hosted by the same provider and the user runs nothing more than a browser.
I'm sure I'll be chastised for oversimplifying things but that describes it in a nutshell. The step to Cloud Computing adds the dimension of distributed computing. I don't know the specifics of Google or Amazon but from what I've heard about Microsoft Azure, you get a lot more for your hosting dollar than you will from a standard ISP. Applications hosted on Azure can be scaled up and down at will to meet demand. Fail-over protection is automatic. In the event of a hardware problem, the application and data files kick over to a mirror. If the mirror fails, it switches to another node. You don't get this kind of up-time guarantee from a hosted ISP solution.
That having been said, what I'm about to describe as my hosted ISP solution could just as easily be implemented on SQL Azure, assuring virtually 100% availability and probably not for much more money than what I'm paying for my hosted solution. I say "probably" because the fee schedule for SQL Azure confuses me. I've seen pricing that suggests it costs $9.99 for a 1GB database but there is also a $.15 per GB fee for outbound bandwidth, which would also apply to maintenance transfers of backup files as well. If Windows Azure pricing also applies, you will pay an additional $.12 per hour. I was afraid I just couldn't be sure how much this would add to the monthly fee, so I opted for another service.
Take all that Azure pricing information with a grain of salt because as I said, it confuses me immensely. Perhaps that's why, when I decided to move my SQL Server to "the Cloud", I sought out a hosted ISP solution. Through discount ASP.net I'm able to host my MVC2/Framework 4.0 web applications for $10 per month and for another $10 per month I get 500 MB of SQL Server database space in a single database. How the bandwidth limits split between web and database access is a little unclear to me but it appears I get about 82GB per month.
So, for $20 per month, I was able to decommission an old server running in my basement and put my web and SQL Server in a hosted environment. But how does one access their remote treasure?
Once you have a hosted SQL Server you'll need to upload your database. You can do this in a number of ways. You could up-size your Access data directly to the web database using an ODBC connection to it and I'll show how to create the DSN later. You could connect your SQL Server Management Services application to the database and run table scripts to create and migrate the database, but this would be arduous for more than a hand-full of objects. If you are comfortable with the Export Data Wizard, you can use SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) to move the tables and then run scripts for the views, procs and functions. Alternatively, discount ASP.net provides a way to restore a backup file online. I haven't had occasion to do this yet, but it seems straightforward enough.
To connect SQL Server Management Studio, you'll want to register the server. Below is a screen shot of the properties window for my registered, remote SQL Server. Once registered, you can treat it just as if it were on your network. On my business network, the bandwidth is less than desirable so it slogs along very slowly but when connected to broadband it's as if the server were in-house.
To get to your hosted SQL Server from an Access MDB file, you'll want to create an ODBC connection. (For Access ADPs you should be able to connect to it directly via the Connection properties.) Below are three screen shots of the steps I used to connect to my discount ASP.net SQL Server. Once the DSN is created, you need only link to it as you would to any SQL Server on your network.
If you hover your mouse over the linked table in Access, you'll see the connect string, with its reference to the remote server, as shown in the screen shot below. From this point on, users simply run forms, reports and queries as they usually would. However, since the database is hosted at a remote location, in the "cloud" as it were, users need not be on a single LAN. Users from different locations, cities or even countries for that matter may now access the same live data simultaneously.
Is This the Holy Grail You've Been Seeking?
I can't answer that question for you. What I can tell you is that for the relatively low cost of $240 you can contract with an ISP and set up a SQL Server to test it out. (If they allow you to get only the SQL Server space it could cost only half that much.) Performance may be limited by the bandwidth coming into your business or the sheer mass of data you need to pass might make it impractical. Not to mention that performance will be affected by how well the developer has optimized data access in the queries and tables used in the application. It's impossible for me to predict how well this will work for you.
Still, this is an option. It's not quite "The Cloud" in a proper sense but you can see "The Cloud" from here and it sure beats replication or classic ASP datasheets.


Finally after yacking on and on about it for ages I am finally at uni! My room is as expected, teeny tiny but, apart from my bed, I have all white furniture and really nice wooden floor. I've spent the past day making it all homely with fairy lights and rugs and trying my hardest (and failing) to tidy up. I know we all like noseying at other people's stuff especially on pinterest so here are my room details.
Your room is so cute, I love all your Castuses!


Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Sunday evening kidnapped a Methodist Presbyter in Osun State, Very Rev. Kayode Akande, and two other church leaders along the Iwo-Osogbo Road.
One of the clerics in the church told Punch correspondent on telephone that Akande; one Mr. Bankole, who is an engineer and one of the leaders of the church, Mr, Omodunbi were forcefully taken away by the suspected Fulani herdsmen around 7pm.
He said the abducted persons were coming in company with others from a meeting held at Ile Ogbo when the criminals stopped their vehicles and took them away.
His words: "They were returning to Osogbo from Ile Ogbo when suspected Fulani herdsmen abducted them. They went for a meeting in respect of Father's Day and they were on their way back to Osogbo when the incident happened.
"The criminals released others and the two cars in which they were traveling and took away the three of them. The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, was contacted and he acted promptly.
The Bishop of Methodist Church, Osogbo Diocese, Most Rev. Amos Ogunrinde, when contacted confirmed the incident.
"I think these people are not genuine herders but criminals. I don't think they are those herdsmen killing but they are armed robbers and that was why they didn't kill them but took them away.

Two PB&Js: Zimmer's recipe for success
USA senior Landin Zimmer details his pre- and post-game rituals
Eric Rutter, Tribune Sports Writer
Published 12:32 am EST, Wednesday, January 22, 2020
SEBEWAING -- For Patriots senior Landin Zimmer, much of the USA sharpshooter's success can be traced back to his preparation rituals surrounding basketball games.
As an individual who describes himself as "somewhat" superstitious, Zimmer relies on the same protocol before and after his team plays to provide the type of structure he needs to excel on the court. However, the schedule differs slightly depending on the location of the contest.
"If it's an away game, I always have two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches no matter what," Zimmer said. "A couple of my friends come over, and we just lay low before the game. If it's a home game, we usually have a team dinner, and we usually play basketball for a bit, or video games, before we head up to school."
Zimmer said breaking bread with his teammates pre-game allows for the excitement and nerves of an upcoming game to fade into the distance.
"It helps me take my mind off the game until I arrive at school, and that's when I usually start to lock in," Zimmer said.
Once at the school, Zimmer transitions from a hungry teenager to an athlete hungry to bring his team victory in the coming hours. In order to strike the right competitive chord, Zimmer turns to a carefully tailored selection of tunes in the time before tipoff.
"I listen to certain music before the game," Zimmer said. "I have a playlist of rap music consisting of DaBaby, Lil Baby, Drake and Future. Those are the ones I listen to the most."
By playing a selection of upbeat hip-hop music, Zimmer slowly raises his intensity level until it crescendos when the game begins.
"Before a game, I'm usually filled with both (nerves and excitement), but mostly excitement," Zimmer said.
Similar to how the playlist that blasts through Zimmer's headphones is carefully crafted, the USA scoring aficionado also picks out his wardrobe with laser-like precision, which is an activity that runs through his family.
"Sometimes I have to wear a certain pair of socks," Zimmer said. "But my dad, on the other hand, he has to wear the same shirt and the same pullover to every game."
Zimmer said the three-pronged approach to preparing for a basketball game is all an important part of his process. A meal shared among friends is crucial for relaxation. Choosing the ideal outfit can help create a feeling of comfort before stepping out onto the court and listening to the right music brings out his competitive side.
When each of these aspects align, the results are palpable. Last year, USA took on Beecher in the Region 24 finals, and Zimmer says he was feeling he was ready to explode in an offensive frenzy before the game even started.
"One game I can recall is the Beecher game last year," Zimmer said. "Throughout the whole school day, I could not sit still because I was excited and nervous, and I could not wait to play. I felt ready to play."
As it turns out, Zimmer was more than ready to play as the Patriot went on a 26-point tear, one complete with six three-pointers, to help benefit USA's cause. That game is evidence of how impactful the right mindset can be to a player's performance.
And when everything does go according to plan, Zimmer has a routine tabbed for the post-game as well.
"My teammates and I go to McDonald's in Sebewaing and often Coach (Steve) Bohn would show up, and we would talk about the game and a lot of funny stories," Zimmer said.
This activity accomplishes two goals. Not only does Zimmer replenish his body from another hard-fought contest, but it allows the team to bond and become a closer group of players.
Overall, Zimmer is fairly set in his ways before and after games. Through repetition, the USA senior has grown comfortable in his routine, and this has led to repeated success on the hardwood.
"If there was a big change, that might throw me off because I have been doing things this way since my junior year," Zimmer said. "That being said, I would not know anything different because I haven't done anything different."
There is no need to fix something that is not broken, and that is how Zimmer approaches his preparation.
Select the right music, eat a specifically-chosen meal and put on the precise outfit necessary to feel comfortable.
These three aspects ultimately lead to one common goal-- putting the basketball inside the rim with an emphatic swoosh.

Дитяча творчість — одна з форм самостійної діяльності дитини, в процесі якої вона відступає від звичних і знайомих їй способів прояву навколишнього світу, експериментує і створює щось нове для себе й інших.

Прояв дитячої творчості на різних етапах розвитку особистості дитини

Розвиток творчої сторони дитини — це, мабуть, одна з найважливіших сторін дитячого виховання. При правильному підході стимулювання творчої діяльності у дитини це сприяє розвитку загального рівня інтелекту, появи бажання пізнання навколишнього світу малюка, а у деяких сприяє формуванню нестандартного мислення.

Види дитячої творчості
Психологи виділяють наступні види ДТ:
 художня, що включає в себе образотворчу та літературна творчість
 технічна
 музична

Художня творчість
Дитяча художня творчість — діяльність дитини, що виявляється у вигляді імпровізацій і створення малюнків, вишивок, ліпних виробів, художніх композицій, аплікацій, літературних творів та ін. ДТ в області мистецтва сприяє художній освіті і розвитку естетичного смаку у дитини. У ранньому віці художнє ДТ відрізняє імпровізований характер. Однак це не виключає участь і контроль дорослих за цим процесом. На думку Л. С. Виготського і Б. Г. Ананьєва різні види художньої ДТ мають тісний взаємозв'язок, тлумачення якої пояснюється теорією про Сензитивні періоди дитячого розвитку, суть якої полягає в тому, що з віком схильність дитини до того чи іншого виду художньої творчості змінюється. У дитинстві і юності дитина проходить послідовну зміну інтересів (так звані, періоди актуальності) до образотворчої, танцювально-драматичної, музичної та літературної діяльності.

Образотворча дитяча творчість

Образотворча ДТ є наймасовішою серед дітей молодшого віку. У 4-5 роки дитина починає відображувати впізнавані предмети, в 9-10 років малюнок являє собою осмислену розповідь з ігровим сюжетом. На думку В. С. Щербакова, образотворче ДТ в підлітковому віці досягає піку розвитку й формує повноцінне сприйняття підлітка світової художньої спадщини і професійного мистецтва. Ще Аристотель зазначав позитивний вплив малювання на розвиток особистості дитини. Ця ідея знайшла підтвердження в роботах Я. А. Коменського, І. Г. Песталоцці і Ф. Фребеля: образотворча ДТ створює основу повноцінного і змістовного спілкування дитини з дорослими, позитивно позначається на емоційному стані дітей, відволікаючи їх від смутку, страхів і сумних подій.

Літературна дитяча творчість

Перші елементи літературної дитячої творчості з'являються у дитини у віці 1-3 років, коли вона вчиться говорити, маніпулювати звуками і використовувати слова в різних поєднаннях. У цей період літературна дитяча творчість є частиною гри і її складно відокремити від інших видів: дитина одночасно малює, пише зображену історію, наспівує і пританцьовує. Поступово літературна творчість у дітей набуває вираженого напрямку (поезія, проза), приходить розуміння соціальної цінності літературного твору, а також значущості процесу його створення. Більш масового характеру літературна дитяча творчість набуває в період навчання в школі, коли діти пишуть твори, есе, нариси й оповідання.

Технічна дитяча творчість
Технічне дитяча творчість є одним з важливих способів формування професійної орієнтації дітей, сприяє розвитку стійкого інтересу до техніки і науки, а також стимулює раціоналізаторські і винахідницькі здібності. Технічна дитяча творчість — це конструювання приладів, моделей, механізмів та інших технічних об'єктів на уроках праці і на позакласних заняттях (гуртки, курси, центри дитячої та юнацької творчості).
Процес технічної дитячої творчості умовно ділять на 4 етапи:
 Постановка задачі
 Збір і вивчення інформації
 Пошук рішення задачі
 Реалізація рішення
У дошкільному віці технічну дитячу творчість зводять до моделювання найпростіших механізмів, школярі середньої школи проявляють інтерес до проектування більш складних моделей і експериментів навчального характеру.

Музична дитяча творчість
Музична ДТ є одним з методів музичного виховання дітей і проявляється у вивченні музичних творів композиторів. Б. В. Асаф 'єв і Б. Л. Яворський вважали, що музичне ДТ має велике значення в сприйнятті дитини навколишнього світу. Дитяча музичне творчість, як правило, не має цінності для оточуючих, але вона важлива для самої дитини. Музична ДТ — це синтетична діяльність, що виявляється в різних видах: гра на музичних інструментах, ритміка, спів.
Елементи музичної ДТ проявляються одними з перших, коли у дитини з'являється здатність до рухів під музику. Завдяки цьому, у дитини розвивається зорово-просторова координація, музичний слух і моторика. Дитина вчиться керувати тілом і опановує танцювальними рухами.

Дитяча творчість і особистість дитини
ДТ, як один із способів інтелектуального і емоційного розвитку дитини, має складний механізм творчої уяви, ділиться на кілька етапів і має суттєвий вплив на формування особистості дитини.

Механізм творчої уяви
Процес дитячої творчості ділиться на наступні етапи: накопичення і збір інформації, обробка накопичених даних, систематизація і кінцевий результат. Підготовчий етап включає в себе внутрішнє і зовнішнє сприйняття дитини навколишнього світу. В процесі обробки дитина розподіляє інформацію на частини, виділяє переваги, порівнює, систематизує і на основі висновків створює щось нове.
Однак, життєвий досвід дитини, його інтереси й відносини з навколишнім середовищем елементарні й не мають тих тонкощів і складності, як у дорослої людини, тому уява у дітей бідніша, ніж у дорослих.

Згідно з працею французького психолога Т. Рибо, дитина проходить три стадії розвитку уяви:
 Дитинство. Являє собою період фантазії, казок, вигадок.
 Юність. Поєднує усвідомлену діяльність і вигадка.
 Зрілість. Уява знаходиться під контролем інтелекту.

Уява дитини розвивається в міру її дорослішання і наближення до зрілості. Л. С. Виготський вважав, що між статевим дозріванням і розвитком уяви у дітей існує тісний зв'язок. Підліток аналізує накопичений досвід, визначається з життєвими інтересами та уподобаннями, а також проходить етап остаточного формування уяви.
Механізм творчої уяви дітей залежить від чинників, що впливають на формування «Я»: вік, особливості розумового розвитку (можливі порушення в психічному і фізичному розвитку), індивідуальність дитини (комунікації, самореалізація, соціальна оцінка його діяльності, темперамент і характер), виховання і навчання.

Етапи дитячої творчості
У творчій діяльності дитини виділяють три основних етапи:
 Формування задуму. На цьому етапі у дитини виникає ідея (самостійна або запропонована батьком / вихователем) створення чогось нового. Чим молодша дитина, тим більше значення має вплив дорослого на процес його творчості. У молодшому віці тільки в 30 % випадків, діти здатні реалізувати свою задумку, в інших — початковий задум зазнає змін через нестійкість бажань. Чим старшою стає дитина, тим більший досвід творчої діяльності він набуває і вчиться втілювати початкову задумку в реальність.
 Реалізація задуму. Використовуючи уяву, досвід і різні інструменти, дитина приступає до здійснення ідеї. Цей етап вимагає від дитини вміння володіти виразними засобами і різними способами творчості (малюнок, аплікація, саморобка, механізм, спів, ритміка, музика).
 Аналіз творчої роботи. Є логічним завершенням перших етапів. Після закінчення роботи, дитина аналізує отриманий результат, залучаючи до цього дорослих і однолітків.

Вплив дитячої творчості на розвиток особистості дитини
Важливою особливістю ДТ є те, що основна увага приділяється самому процесу, а не його результату. Тобто важлива сама творча діяльність і створення чогось нового. Питання цінності створеного дитиною витвору мистецтва відступає на другий план. Однак діти відчувають великий душевний підйом, якщо дорослі відзначають оригінальність і самобутність творчої роботи дитини. ДТ нерозривно пов'язана з грою, і, часом, між процесом творчості і грою немає межі.
Творчість є обов'язковим елементом гармонійного розвитку особистості дитини, в молодшому віці необхідна, в першу чергу, для саморозвитку. У міру дорослішання, творчість може стати основною діяльністю дитини.

The NFL playoff picture in the AFC is wild after the Chargers beat the Chiefs. Both can still get the No. 1 seed, but Kansas City controls their destiny.
The AFC West is now up for grabs.
For much of Thursday night, it appeared the Kansas City Chiefs were going to secure a first-round bye in the NFL Playoffs. They led for the first 59 minutes and 55 seconds, but then, Philip Rivers threw a touchdown to Mike Williams with four seconds and then hit him on the game-winning two-point conversion.
Both teams are now 11-3, but the Chiefs maintain the No. 1 seed in the AFC with the Chargers in the No. 5 spot. The win clinched a berth in the playoffs for Los Angeles and they have a chance to win the AFC West if they win out and the Chiefs lose to either the Seahawks in Seattle next week or to the Raiders in Kansas City in Week 17.
The Chargers still have a chance to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs, however. They close out the season with a home game against Baltimore and a road trip to Denver, which are two very winnable games for them.
Should Kansas City lose that game while Los Angeles wins out, the road to the Super Bowl would, unbelievably, go through the StubHub Center.
If that were the case, the Chiefs would then drop all the way down to the five-seed as the AFC's first wild card. It would be quite a shocking result considering how they have been the most dominant team in the conference with one of the most unstoppable offenses in the NFL. They essentially have been penciled in for the No. 1 seed for weeks now but the Chargers showed it's still up for grabs.

As a baby faced 30-something, I've been known to oscillate between the extremes of daily chemical peels and just using bar soap on my face. However, when you go to France, you stock up on Pharmacy beauty products.
I've been blessed with clear skin, but on the flip side, my skin is very sensitive. Anything too greasy, too chemically, too scented – and I break out. So, finding a daily moisturizer with SPF has always been a struggle of mine. Enter, Avène Hyrance Optimale UV Riche Crème hydrante. Formulated for dry sensitive skin with an SPF 20 worked in, it's been perfect for working in the vineyards. It's very light and has almost no scent. Avène is known for its "Eau Thermale" or thermal waters, which literally bubbles up from the ground in the Orb Valley, France. This pH neutral water is included in all of it's products and has soothing and anti-irritating properties.
While technically not a "Night Cream" the cult following of the next product speaks for itself. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concèntré is hailed as one of the not so secret "secret weapons" of makeup artists and models. I was skeptical, but this cream is thus far living up to the hype. First, it smells amazing. I'm very sensitive to smells, but this stuff smells like a dream. Second, it leaves your skin feeling baby smooth and super hydrated.
I've always had darker than I'd like eye circles. I'd come to terms with it and just used concealer. However, I discovered Filorga Optim-Eyes. Now, Filorga has been working on injectable anti-aging productions since 1978, so I guess that makes them experts in keeping faces young. What's cool about this product, is that it's one of the results of Filorga's move into non-injectables. Now, i've only been using this product for a few weeks, and it may be a placebo effect, but I think my eyes are looking less dark and puffy. The product has a light scent and comes in a really cool bottle. It also takes the smallest pin size amount to cover both under eyes. This product is a bit pricey, but worth a try it your under eyes are an area you're concerned about.
I found this gem thanks to my good friend Amanda in Texas. She kept this "crack" at her desk and once I used it, I was hooked. Nuxe Rêve De Miel Baume Lèvres Ultra-Nourrissant is the best €9 you'll ever spend, and your lips will thank you for it. This thick honey salve takes a little bit of working to get on your finger, but once it heats up and goes on your kisser, it's over. It's not too greasy, it's super hydrating, and leaves you feeling soft and supple. Nuxe is also a really cool French brand and has tons of amazing cult products that women swear by. From what I can tell, you can't go wrong with anything Nuxe.
Within a week of working in the vineyard, my hands were wrecked. Also, I'd run out of my favorite hand lotion from home (CeraVe Moisturizing Cream – it's amazing). Dry hands make me crazy, so I had to act fast. After some research, in store and online, I settled on Cica Biafine Crème Mains Anti-Teaches Brunes Nourrissante – which translates to "anti-brown spot nourishing hand cream." I was looking for the regular hand cream, but I wasn't going to say no to the added benefit of preventing age spots (I've heard prevention is key). This product is a great, long lasting hand cream. It absorbs pretty quickly, leaving you with hydrated paws. It's not particularly special, but it gets the job done. Not pictured is the Nuxe Rêve De Miel Crème Mains et Ongles – it's also a great daily hand cream, and smells really nice.
After three weeks of working in the vineyard, with my hair tied-up, drenched in sweat, and washed daily – my poor locks needed some love. I kept seeing shelves of Klorane in all the pharmacies, and they all looked delicious – seriously. They come in a million scents, colors, and treatments. I got "Volume" with flax fiber – and after washing my hair with it the first time, I felt like a whole new woman. What's interesting about the Volume conditioner is that it's clear. I've never used a clear conditioner before, and I do miss the creamy feeling of the conditioners I'm used to, however, my hair has never been shinier. I recommend trying out one that's fitting for your hair type.
I still have two weeks left in France, and countless Pharmacies to visit (it's become a bit of an obsession now.) I've heard that City Pharma on 26 Rue du Four in Paris is THE place to go to find all your French beauty needs…I'll be heading there shortly. Aurevoire for now!


Your skin is your body's largest organ. If you do not take care of it, you can end up with a diagnosis that is detrimental to you entire being. Just like you go for an annual physical, you should take your body to a dermatologist once a year so they can look over your body and inspect any abnormalities. The Balcones deramtology and other similar practices can actually help you if you need to have someone inspect your skin. An annual body audit is simply having the dermatologist looking over your body. Since they specialize in skin, they are more apt to observe an abnormality in your skin than possibly someone that is not as educated in your largest organ. There are a lot of different things other than skin cancer that can be found by a dermatologist. Things like skin tags, warts, and moles are also different skin conditions that a dermatologist can treat. They also can look at areas of your body that you may not be able to see because of it being in a different area that you are used to viewing.
I was one of those people that was not going to see a dermatologist every year. I did not think that the doctor would find anything when I went for my first visit two years ago. I have nice skin, although I do suffer from sensitivity and Rosacea. I get very red when I work out and people often ask me if I am ok. While I am fine, it can be very embarrassing for people to ask me if I am alright simply while I am working out. I found out that there is a cream that I could apply to my face and it would make the redness go away. I ended up getting the cream and it has made a big difference for me.
I knew that I needed to see a chiropractor in Turlock because of the pain in my back, but I was afraid to because I had no idea what he was going to tell me about it. I had already had one doctor tell me that he wanted to do surgery, and that scared me more than anything. I quickly changed doctors, because I didn't feel he had even considered all my options as well as what was causing me the pain in the first place. When I went to my new doctor, he suggested that I see a chiropractor because he felt that what needed to be done could be done without any type of surgery.
Living in the land of beautiful people means that I take great care to look good at all times. Growing up in my own home country was very different. I was a teen during the grunge years in the 1990s. Young people often wore torn t-shirts, torn jeans, flannel shirts and grungy boots as a norm when I was in college. But it's quite the opposite where I live and work now. Recently, I Had some IPL hair removal in Singapore done so that I could look as good as the people I work with. It amazes me that the people here always look so good.
My primary care physician referred me to a Mesa chiropractor to help treat my intense back pain. He believes that I have some type of lumbar disorder that goes beyond what he is able to treat. I'm very happy that he gave me this referral, because our conventional treatment methods are no longer working. My chronic back pain keeps me up at night, and I would say that it's probably been a few months since I've had a good night's sleep. I'm feeling really optimistic so, because I believe this chiropractor will be able to help me feel better.
I know people go for alternative treatments for a lot of reasons. For me, it is just plain fear. If I can have a procedure done that is not invasive at all, I am definitely going that route. Also, if I can have something natural do the same thing that prescription medication like narcotics will do, then I will always go the natural route. When I started feeling a lot of pain after an auto accident, I decided to look at a Chicago acupuncture specialist first. I had been hearing good things about acupuncture, and I knew that it was definitely worth a short before trying anything else.


Attempts to obtain unauthorized access to corporate data and applications are growing at an alarming rate. Threats can originate from both outside and inside the organization.
At the same time, customers, regulators, and stakeholders expect that personally identifiable information (PII) is safe and secure. This is made more difficult as IT integrates their systems with outside suppliers and employees access these systems remotely using their own devices.
This roundtable will cover topics such as security through the lens of your customers, critical data management issues, protecting data sovereignty in the Cloud, best practices for securing applications, and what to expect from your security technology providers.
Sponsor for the event is Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). Interested IT and security executives can use this link to access our brief VIP registration form.
On June 4, 2015, The IT Media Group brought together 16 IT executives from a variety of private and public-sector organizations in the Toronto area for a roundtable called "Crunch Time for CIOs", which focussed on a variety of issues around cloud computing. Sponsor for this CIO Master Series Roundtable was Salesforce, represented at the table by Chris Makkreel, Head of Solution Engineering.
Cloud computing is impacting the IT organization in a variety of ways, and IT executives now find themselves in the position of no longer being the company's sole source of applications and services. While some technology leaders see this as a threat to their traditional domain, others see it as an opportunity collaborate more fully with line-of-business leaders and recast themselves as business enablers, rather than impediments.
On May 28, 2015, The IT Media Group brought together 19 IT executives from a variety of private and public-sector organizations in the Calgary area to discuss "The CIO in a Data-driven World". Sponsor for this CIO Master Series Roundtable was Hitachi Data Systems Canada, represented at the table by CTO, Paul Lewis.
The brave new world of data-driven decision-making is presenting CIOs with a variety of challenges, many of which are complicated by the economic downturn in Canada. In Alberta, this downturn is especially pronounced due to the sharp decline in oil prices.

A new collection will be created to house these titles, and they will also be added to subject-appropriate collections. For example, more than 50 of the titles relate to slavery and the law."
Legal Research Basics presentation
The North Carolina Library Association continued its excellent webinar series "Help! I'm an Accidental Government Information Librarian" last week with a presentation titled "Legal Research Basics Redux." The presenter was our friend Jennifer Behrens, a law librarian at Duke. Her presentation was well-organized and very engaging. And though okay - we should all be familiar with the basics of legal research- it doesn't hurt to have a refresher.
If you missed it, the NCLA has helpfully provided an online recording of the webinar, as well as the powerpoint slides from the presentation.
The GSU case and copyright monitoring
Prof. Pamela Samuelson has published an opinion piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education titled "Colleges Shouldn't have to Deal With Copyright Monitoring." She discusses the lawsuit against Georgia State University by several academic publishers that is now in its eighth year. The trial court has recently ruled that "...of the 48 claims remaining in the case, only four uses, each involving multiple chapters, infringed. The question now is, What should be the remedy for those four infringements?" The publishers involved in the suit are asking the court for a permanent injunction that would impose new duties on GSU and require close monitoring of the content of all online course websites, including giving the publishers access to the online course system. Eventually this would affect course content in course websites at all US colleges and universities. Samuelson outlines the specifics of the proposed injunction, and argues that "If the overwhelming majority of the university's uses were fair, it doesn't make sense to impose substantial and costly compliance measures on it."
WIRED on PACER
WIRED magazine has published an article about PACER titled "Here's the problem with the Feds profinting from court filings." The article explains how PACER works and the costs of using it and summarizes the problems with PACER. It looks at the class action lawsuit filed against PACER recently, with the claim that PACER profits far outweigh costs.
Robot Lawyer
Gizmodo reports that "A Major Law Firm Will Soon Be Using A Robotic Lawyer" , aka an "artificial intelligence attorney." The "robot" is named ROSS and was created using technology from IBM's Watson. It acts as an advanced legal research tool, providing more elaborate and intuitive advanced searching. The law firm Baker & Hostetler announced that they will use ROSS in their bankruptcy division. But the article adds that ROSS won't be appearing in court anytime soon.
