There are now a number of companies who have jumped on the 'plastic bait bandwagon', however nothing really comes close to Enterprise Tackle products. Not only were they the first, I personally think no-one else makes products that come closer to the real thing.
I was lucky enough to be asked to be part of 'Team Enterprise' and one of the privileges that provides is getting to test out new products before they either hit the shops or are a work in progress. And I have to say, there are some fantastic new items ready for 2015!
Overall, the ET range is huge, and we all have our own favourites. For me, simply tipping of a boilie with a piece of large popup corn always looks good and gets a bite, but I really do like to think outside the box and try things out.
For instance, with the mini popup tigers I triple stack them and use on a chod rig. It looks a bit odd, but having a 33lb 10oz mirror out of a hard water using this is proof that being a bit different can pay huge dividends.
As we are now into Winter, with the long dark nights setting in, the Niteglow Corn can be a winner, but I will also be using the new Niteglow Worms as boilie stops just to give a little bit of an attraction to any passing fish to investigate.
The imitation maggots have endless uses. They are so lifelike and Enterprise have these spot on. Whether used as line aligner or attached to a rig with the real thing, they can be absolutely devastating. I even thread one or two along the hook length to disguise it a little.
To add a little bit more attraction to the imitation bait, I soak (and keep soaked) in my favourite attractant – usually Betalin. Enterprise baits take on many different flavours really well, and this again can be devastating if used as a single hookbait, which is the way I fish during the colder months.
I recently contacted a good friend Florian Lachambre, from France, who is also part of the team, on his approach to using Enterprise products on Lac de Der. Again , it's all simple approaches with the baits that produce the results.
However the baits are used, I always like to watch Frank Warwick's videos on the Enterprise Tackle YouTube channel. So much information can be gained by watching these. You don't have to directly copy him, but use the information to adapt your own set-ups because there's not a lot that man doesn't know about catching carp!
I also love my zig rig fishing and think nothing of using a 12ft zig in the right conditions.
It's a confidence thing zig fishing, and I like to think that with this style you are fishing 100 per cent of the time, as a fish doesn't need to be particularly on the feed to take a suspended bait. Their inquisitive nature will always get the better of them and they'll at least mouth it, whereas with a spread of boilies on the bottom, they need to be on the munch to get their heads down.
If you look at the Enterprise Zig Beetles and the colour combinations you can do with them, they are absolutely bang on. Alternatively, simply use the ET Zig/Surface baits. These easily pops up a long zig regardless, so as long as I know the zig link and mainline have separated on the cast, I know my zigs are perfectly popped up and sitting suspended for a bite.

admissions@woodsacademy.org www.woodsacademy.org In December 1974, when it was announced that Ursuline Academy would close due to a shortage of Sisters, a group of dedicated parents banded together to continue Ursuline education for their children. In 1975, despite the decision of the Ursuline Sisters who staffed the academy, three Ursuline parents – J.
Robert Walsh, George K. Reese, and John G.
Scozzafava – founded Our Lady of the Woods Academy, subsequently The Woods Academy.
The new school would be for children age three to grade eight, beginning with a Montessori preschool. Sister Celestine, OSU, would be the first administrator and parents would have an active role in the operation. At that time, a parent-run, private, co-educational Catholic school was unusual, but not unheard of.
Today, The Woods is a renowned Montessori preschool and high school preparatory school educating boys and girls from age three through grade eight. The Woods curriculum has maintained Ursuline's well-known traditions of excellence in education, including instruction in Catholic doctrine and Christian beliefs, as well as French at all grade levels.
The Woods maintains this excellence in education by continually enhancing the curricular and extracurricular offerings at every level. Daily world language offerings now include French or Spanish, beginning in kindergarten. The Woods experience also incorporates a comprehensive and celebrated arts program; technology instruction that is comprised of robotics, programming, and coding; physical education classes and competitive athletics; as well as classes in entrepreneurship and leadership development.

I have heard that Kashi is GMO. I wonder if it applies to all their products. I would have to find out but besides that this is a great idea!

My Autistic son is 6 years. I would really love to help him with his focus and attention. My son receives speech therapy, OT and social skill group at school. We live in Singapore where everything is extremely $$$ and unfortunately we are not well off. Please advise me what to try first. I was thinking of TCM, diet. Skin brushing/ weighted squeeze jackets or NAET. Really dont know where to start.
Diet, probiotics, and a multi-vitamin would be a good start. NAET for allergy testing will also get you on a good track on what foods/allergens to eliminate. Get his body in balance to help his therapies succeed.
OK, but they are not organic grains….grrrrr! I'm still searching. I'm off to Whole Foods to check out their 365 brand of crackers since they are nonGMO and try to find an organic one that my boys will like. Once I do, I'll update this blog post to include that new cracker.
yeah, I was surprised to hear that they were GMO. Sad.
i was told by tony pantalleresco (he's on youtube, an herbalist) to stay away from all grains as they cause more trouble than benefit.
Hi, I just stumbled on your blog and love all the helpful information you provide. Do you know how I would go about finding a DAN doctor in my area? I live in southern California for your reference. Any help, would be much appreiciated!

From Swami Agnivesh To Beating Bengal Police; 3 Times BJP Workers Broke Law In The Last Two Days
The Logical Indian
18 July 2018 12:53 PM GMT
Editor : The Logical Indian
In just last two days, there have been three separate incidents of violence by BJP party workers and its affiliates. The incidents of violence had put the life and dignity of those attacked under massive danger. These incidents send out a message that these political goons care very less about the age or the position of the person being attacked.
Shashi Tharoor's office vandalized
Workers of Bhartiya Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vandalised the office of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in Thiruvananthapuram on July 16. This was apparently done in retaliation to Tharoor's "Hindu Pakistan" jibe. Tharoor had said that if the current political dispensation continues beyond 2019, India would become "Hindu Pakistan", meaning that it will turn India into an intolerant majoritarian state just like Pakistan.
The workers poured black oil at the entrance of his office, put up a black flag and a board which said "Tharoor's Pakistan office", Hindustan Times reported. Fortunately, neither Tharoor nor anyone else was present at the office at the time of the attack. Police then registered a case against a group of unidentified persons.
Laughably, some @BJP4India supporters on social media are claiming the vandals weren't @BJYM members at all. Well, they called some media to publicize their vandalism & these pictures show them clearly in the act: pic.twitter.com/OpW2SbNwYJ
— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) July 16, 2018
Tharoor tweeted about this incident.
1/2 Today @YUVAMORCHABJP vandals attacked my constituency office in Thiruvananthapuram. They poured black engine oil on signs, doors, walls & gate, drove away innocent citizens waiting with their petitions, put up offensive banners & shouted slogans asking me to go to Pakistan.
2/2 We have all been warned. The BJP's answer to the simple question "have you given up the dream of a Hindu Rashtra?" is apparently vandalism & violence. That is the face they have shown inThiruvananthapuram today. Most Hindus will say these Sanghi goondas do not represent us.
There was no condemnation from BJP for this act, instead, BJP Thiruvananthapuram district president S Suresh, said, "Workers have every right to vent their anger if they are provoked with such irresponsible statements."
Earlier too BJP had sought an apology from Mr Tharoor for his remarks, however, he refused to apologize. On July 18, the first day of the monsoon session of Lok Sabha, Tharoor blamed right-wing activists for death threats, attacks and the vandalisation of his office.
Policemen attacked in Midnapore after PM Modi's rally
On July 16, BJP workers were caught on camera assaulting police personnel in Midnapore in West Bengal after PM Modi's "Krishi Kalyan Sabha" rally. Videos show that the BJP activists started beating the police personnel with bamboo sticks. It is being reported that the situation arose as the police were not able to clear roads for the party vehicles to move.

At least 15 people, including cops, were severely injured after being thrashed by BJP supporters near Kharagpur.Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/2mnfwrx
Posted by The Quint on Monday, July 16, 2018
Dilip Ghosh, the BJP state unit president said, "Whatever is the reason, we don't support hitting the police officers and I will instruct my party people to avoid such situations. But it was the responsibility of the police officers to control the entire situation", as reported by Firstpost.
He further added that the police should have made proper arrangements and that the aim was not to indulge in violence, "Had it been so, then there would have been more attacks on the police, along the entire stretch."
Attack on 78-year-old Swami Agnivesh
On July 17, social activist Swami Agnivesh was attacked allegedly by BJP Yuva Morcha workers in Pakur, Jharkhand. The 78-year-old was in the state to participate in a program of Adivasis. Slogans of "Jai Sri Ram" and "Go Back Agnivesh" were hurled by the attackers. They pinned him to ground and even tore his clothes. They were apparently angry about Swami Agnivesh's alleged "anti-Hindu" comments.

"As soon as I came out of the venue, BJYM and ABVP activists attacked me without any provocation. They alleged that I was speaking against Hindus", Swami Agnivesh was quoted by PTI, as reported by The Wire. He also added that the attackers were carrying black flags and pounced on Swami without any explanation. "I pleaded with them with folded hands… But they didn't think it was necessary to tell me why they were raining blows on me. They just went on and on", he told NDTV.
The police have detained 20 people in connection with this incident and are going through CCTV footage to gather more information.
P Shahdeo, BJP state unit spokesperson had vehemently denied the involvement of his party men in the attack.
They weren't workers of our party. We condemn this but his track record is such that this reaction doesn't come as surprise.

However, Pakur BJYM president Prasanna Mishra was seen levying allegations against Swami Agnivesh that he has insulted Hindus and fellow countrymen on the world stage.
कुछ लोग पूछ रहे थे आपको कैसे पता कि स्वामी अग्निवेश को बीजेपी वाला सब मारा है?उनके लिए- हमको ऐसे पता कि बीजेपी वाला सब ही मारा है। सुनिये- प्रसन्ना मिश्रा बीजेपी युवा मोर्चा अध्यक्ष, पाकुड़ को
Posted by Anand Dutta on Tuesday, July 17, 2018
The Logical Indian take
Mob violence is probably the biggest evil of our times. More so when the perpetrators of these kinds of attacks live with certain confidence that no harm will befall them no matter how heinous the nature of the crime. This is adequately proved by the fact that BJP has maintained a stoic silence or in some cases even come out in support of these attackers. When cases like these happen, it becomes very difficult for the public to place their faith in law and order.

FEMA Will Fund New Grand View Village Hall
FEMA will provide almost $4.4 million in federal funds to rebuild Grand View-on-Hudson's Village Hall, a historic structure that was severely damaged during Hurricane Sandy and subsequently condemned.

"The citizens of Grand View-on-Hudson are deeply grateful to FEMA for its commitment to helping us rebuild our village hall devastated by Hurricane Sandy," said Grand View Mayor Larry Lynn. "We thank all of those who helped us secure this funding, first and foremost our great friends in Washington, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Charles Schumer, and Rep. Nita Lowey for their diligent efforts on our behalf." Lynn says that the Governor's office and local officials including County Executive Ed Day, Orangetown Supervisor Andy Stewart, Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffe, State Senator David Carlucci, and County Legislator Nancy Low-Hogan were also instrumental in providing support to get FEMA funding.
The ground floor of the Grand View Village Hall was flooded with 18 inches of Hudson river water following Hurricane Sandy. One of two decks on the building was completely ripped and the building was twisted on its foundation. After reconstruction, village hall will be raised out of the flood zone and set further back from the river. The FEMA grant will cover 90 percent of the costs incurred by Grand View-on-Hudson to replace the facility and its contents, or $4,399,518.
"A village hall is an important gathering place and symbol of any community, and it is excellent news that Grand View-on-Hudson will finally be able to replace theirs," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "The storm completely devastated the building, and this federal disaster assistance will go a long way in taking the cost burden of rebuilding off of taxpayers and reassuring local residents that the federal government will be there as they continue their recovery efforts
"After village hall was severely damaged during Superstorm Sandy, I'm pleased to announce that Grand View-on-Hudson is finally getting this long overdue reimbursement from FEMA," said Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
"I'm pleased these federal funds finally arrived to assist Grand View-on-Hudson residents build their new village hall," said Congresswoman Lowey. "I fought hard to secure the $60 billion Sandy assistance package in Congress, and I will continue to work with communities affected by the storm to get the recovery assistance they need."
Now that most of the funding is in place, Lynn says Grand View can start plans to build it back better — including making village hall ADA compliant. "We will be putting an elevator in the new building to accommodate the disabled. It was not there before, so it is not part of FEMA funding because their mandate is to restore what was there. The village may have to fund this, and will be happy to do so," he said.
If all goes well, the new village hall will open by the end of 2016. "The next steps are final architectural and engineering plans which will lead to bid documents, then bidding," said Lynn. "We will salvage many of the architectural and decorative details that define the original village hall. After that, demolition will begin," he said.
"The lion's share of the work on this project was done by Village Trustee Catherine Whitney with the assistance of Doris Ulman, Village Attorney, and Julie Pagliaroli, Village Clerk-Treasurer," said Lynn. "We could not have gotten this far without the efforts of this team."

Q: How would i change the difficulty of my game? I'm in the process of creating my pinball game - and i feel the game is a bit bland, because it's a prototype i have only set 4 bumpers in the whole game, and each bumper giving 10,000 points. I am wondering how i can add a difficulty setting to easy medium and hard.
easy giving 10,000 per hit
medium giving 5,000 per hit
and hard giving 2,500 per hit.
This is my code associated with the scoring system and the bumpers (For testing purposes i have set the event handler as a click - but i will be changing it to when the ball touches it to allow the points and rebound in the opposite direction).
    for(var i=0;i<bumpersArray.length;i++){
    bumpersArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,add_score);
}

    function add_score(e:MouseEvent){
    myScore.add(10000);
}

I would assume you would need an if statement linked to a button created after you push start so something like
if (easy_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, easyGame))
{

        for(var i=0;i<bumpersArray.length;i++){
        bumpersArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,add_score);
    }

        function add_score(e:MouseEvent){
        myScore.add(10000);
    }
}

That's just a wild guess - but yes. Thank You. :)

A: Its simple,
step 1: you just define the scoreIterator value based on the level like so:
var scoreIterator:Number;

switch (difficulty) {
case "easy" :
    scoreIterator = 10000;
    break;
case "medium" :
    scoreIterator = 5000;
    break;
case "hard" :
    scoreIterator = 2500;
    break;
default :
    break;
}

Then your function becomes this:
if (easy_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, easyGame))
{

    for(var i=0;i<bumpersArray.length;i++){
        bumpersArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,add_score);
    }

    function add_score(e:MouseEvent){
        myScore.add(scoreIterator);      //<-- this is now dynamic
    }
}

Explaining the intricacies of supply chain management to a marketing department that exists on a different functional planet can be tough. Rather than trying to teach marketers the language of operations, maybe a better approach is to talk about the supply chain that they should actually own.
In an ideal world, supply chain and marketing work in synch to make sure that their respective goals are aligned. But in reality a lack of communication between the two disciplines often causes operational glitches.
Take, for example, the shipments that have to be expedited at considerable cost because the transportation department was unaware of a new promotional campaign or not briefed properly on its scope.
How about the gaps in sales information flows that make it near impossible to forecast demand accurately? For many years, marketers in the retailing business have been using information based on point-of-sale data to analyze demand. Yet, many still find it difficult to break out of their silos to share these valuable insights with operational folks.
Then there is the issue of SKU creep. Marketing likes to create multiple variations of a product to appeal to as many customer groups as possible. The problem is that SKU proliferation adds complexity and cost to the supply chain, penalties that are not always given enough consideration when the decision is taken to extend product lines.
Of course the language barrier is not one-way; supply chain has its own agenda that can be counter-productive from a marketing/corporate standpoint. A case in point is the inward-looking operations departments that aggressively pursues its own performance targets, and in doing so undermines broader initiatives such as customer segmentation strategies.
Encouraging cross-functional cooperation is one way to avoid such misunderstandings. Another possibility is to establish a common platform for communication such as the performance of the marketing supply chain.
If you are unfamiliar with this particular animal don't be concerned: apparently many marketing folks are largely in the dark as well. The Chief Marketing Office (CMO) Council, an industry organization with 6,000 members, describes this supply chain as the efficient and timely delivery of marketing and merchandising materials to dealer, agent, franchise, retail and brand office locations. It also covers the processing of customer requests for sales literature and samples through Web, call center, and email channels.
A recent report published by the CMO Council entitled "Competitive Gain in the Demand Chain" reveals that many marketing executives have never assessed demand chain performance nor given it a high priority within the marketing operational mix. The report is based on the results of an online survey of 260 marketers carried out by the council during the third quarter of 2010.
Some 80% of respondents acknowledged that their organization is not efficient or effective enough in provisioning the demand chain. Thirty-eight percent agreed that this activity is critical to business competitiveness and performance. Yet only 25% said they ensure that sales support materials and resources are delivered on-demand, which would improve sell-through and customer conversion. The study indicates that there is little or no visibility to the demand provisioning process.
One area that could offer a relatively quick pay back is vendor selection or management, suggests the council. Nearly half of respondents regarded demand chain procurement and fulfillment as a compilation of individual vendors. But only seven percent viewed the demand chain as an area for consolidation and rationalization.
In a nutshell, marketers tend to outsource the management of this supply chain to vendors without the kind of due diligence that is routine in the wider operational world. As a result, they are probably leaving substantial cost savings on the table. On the plus side, nearly 60% of the respondents planned to introduce a more disciplined approach to marketing execution systems.
While this represents a business opportunity for logistics services providers, the more pertinent point here is that these issues bring supply chain concepts into marketing conversations. "What we've asked marketers to do is to really start to look at the marketing supply chain as a new area of marketing optimization," says Liz Miller of the CMO Council. The idea becomes an easy sell when it is framed in terms of the cost savings that can be achieved, she adds.
So the next time you are trying to illuminate supply chain challenges for the marketing department, it might be worth mentioning this area of opportunity. Marketers may not know it, but apparently they need to be good supply chain managers too.

Q: Is it possible to have these functions exposed for testing? Given that I'm extending an existing module and it uses the module.exports in the way shown below, can I even call the start methods from (mocha) tests?
I suspect that there's no decent way to tap into it - and that's ok. I'd just rather test these if I am able to and would love to know how to do it if possible.
const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
    start: function() {
        //do stuff
    };
});

Edit: NodeHelper returns a function that appears to be "extended":
NodeHelper.create = function(moduleDefinition) {
    return NodeHelper.extend(moduleDefinition);
};

A: Looking closer at the linked code, it uses Resig's class.js so you probably need to create an instance to call the prototype methods, ie
const YourNodeHelper = require('path/to/your/module')

const yourNodeHelper = new YourNodeHelper() // create instance here
yourNodeHelper.start()

Netflix could be losing some good Friends in the near future

The US sitcom Friends continues to be a popular bingeing series with many viewers, but that could soon come to an end.

Friends to be taken away from Netflix by Disney - Video
Could you manage to get by without a little help from your "Friends?" You might have to or at least invest in the DVDs. It has been reported that Netflix could soon lose the popular 90s US sitcom, only nine months after acquiring all the show's ten seasons.
Things are not altogether lost, however, as reportedly once the new Disney and Warner Media streaming service is up and running, "Friends" could be moving over to the new platform, meaning you may have to cough up some more subscription fees for the privilege.
'Friends' moving away from Netflix
Deadline quotes Rich Greenfield, a media analyst for BTIG as saying once the new streaming service is activated by Disney and Warner Media, they will likely take back most of their television series and films away from Netflix.

— Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) October 17, 2018
Greenfield went on to say that content, including "Friends," would be likely to be taken away from Netflix in 2019 as the new SVOD (streaming video on demand) service is launched. He asked what impact it will have on investors as more content creators start up their own SVOD services.
Sitcom 'Friends' is one of the top streamed shows
The final and 10th season of "Friends" ended 14 years ago. However, Yahoo reports that Parrot Analytics has revealed statistics that show the sitcom is the third-most streamed show on Netflix so far this year in the US. However, it was revealed earlier this year that the sitcom is the most streamed show in the UK.

Meanwhile, Netflix doesn't sound too concerned over the news, after Ted Sarandos, the Chief Content Officer, revealed that their Netflix Originals are among their most popular series and films. Sarandos said they have been a "pretty dependable buyer" of popular content, but things are now getting too complicated with sellers.

He went on to say shows like "Stranger Things," and no doubt "The Haunting of Hill House," which are owned or produced in-house by Netflix are among their most popular content for streaming. He added that they also continue to licence a lot of the content streamed on the platform.
Sarandos went on to mention "Fastest Car," "Queer Eye," "Sugar Rush" and "Nailed it," saying the shows are popular with people worldwide, adding that Netflix doesn't have to go through a "gun-to-the-head" renegotiation for the content.
The popularity of 'Friends'
YouGov recently ran a poll to find out who is the UK's favourite "Friends" character, while revealed that Chandler was the top one chosen, with Joey coming second, and Rachel, Ross and Monica trailing behind.
Earlier in the year, there were hints of a possible reboot of "Friends." Jennifer Aniston and discussed the idea with her two female co-stars, who were also keen. However, so far it doesn't seem to be an option, although Aniston did say that anything was possible. Otherwise, Jennifer said she and the other two ladies might end up rebooting "The Golden Girls" from their wicker chairs!

Jesus was completely without sin according to the Bible. Paul writes, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Cor. 5:21). The author of Hebrews writes, "We do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15). John writes, "You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin" (1 Jn. 3:5). Jesus even had the audacity to ask, "Which one of you convicts Me of sin?" (Jn. 8:46) Which one of us could ask such a question!
Jesus had to be without sin in order to pay for the sin of others (Heb. 7:26; 9:14; 1 Pet. 2:22; Jn. 8:46; 8:29; 15:10). This is also called the "impeccability" of Jesus.
Could Jesus fall into temptation?
1. God can't be tempted (Jas 1:13).
2. Jesus is God (Col 2:9).
3. Therefore, Jesus could not sin (impeccability).
However, Jesus was also human, and humans can be tempted. Jesus was tempted (Mt. 4:1) like we are (Heb 2:18; 4:15-16), yet without sin. These biblical accounts strongly imply that these temptations were real in the sense that Jesus could have fallen to them. Moreover, other sinless beings (e.g. Adam, Eve, Satan, angels) were originally sinless, but fell into sin. Does this mean that Jesus could have sinned?
Scripture does not answer this question directly. However, it infers that Jesus did not have a sin-nature. Thus he could not have sinned. In Romans 8:3, Paul stops short of affirming that Jesus had "sinful flesh?" and instead says Jesus "came in the likeness of sinful flesh." While Adam and his offspring were born under condemnation, this certainly wasn't true of Jesus (Rom. 5:12-19).
Does this mean that Jesus was never tempted?
The incarnate Son's temptations were real; acting on them seemed a genuine possibility to Him. Though unique, His situation is conceivable: Imagine entering a room and closing the door behind you. Unbeknown to you, the door has an automatic two-hour time lock. You consider leaving once or twice, but you freely decide to read for the full two hours, after which you leave the room. Would you have been able to leave earlier? No. But why did you stay in and not try to go out? Because you freely decided to stay. Similarly, Christ freely chose, in submission to the Spirit, to resist temptation even though it was impossible for Him to sin; however, His divine awareness didn't overwhelm or impose itself on His human awareness.
Moreover, only those who successfully resist temptation feel its full weight. For instance, consider the alcoholic who says, "I can quit any time I want!" They haven't really felt the force of temptation, until their resist their temptation.
Additionally, Jesus was no doubt placed under a higher degree of temptation, because of the gravity of his mission and the spiritual attack which accompanied it. None of us have had this level of temptation or attack.
 The view that Christ could have sinned is known as peccability (Latin: potuit non peccare, "able not to sin,") while the view that Christ could not have sinned is called impeccability (Latin: non potuit peccare, "not able to sin"). See an argument for impeccability in Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1941), p. 318.

3 Reasons to consider Aryaka's SmartCDN for your Global Business
By Vikas Garg | January 2, 2020
The Content Delivery Network (CDN) market continues to evolve as new technologies and startups force change upon the landscape, and it seems there is no end in sight to the disruptions.
Startups are introducing new ways of using innovative cloud-based architectures and challenging legacy technologies to conduct business cheaper and faster. Additionally, technology sectors such as security and WAN are collapsing into the CDN industry.
All this change is good for the buyers of these services because they have more choices than ever before — however, with the abundance of choices, it's easy to get confused about what exactly buyers are getting, as vendors market themselves in similar ways.
Traditional CDNs focus on the caching and delivery of static content. Video CDNs improve video streaming (live and VOD) experiences using encoding and repackaging technologies. Security CDNs provide Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS Mitigation services via scrubbing centers. A different class of CDNs is focused on accelerating personalized, dynamic content.
Aryaka's SmartCDN falls in this last category. SmartCDN is an innovative and unique, high-performance CDN platform built to deliver and accelerate dynamic IP applications. We've built a full-service global CDN from the ground up, tailored to meet the needs of global SaaS providers, e-commerce companies, and other worldwide enterprises.
Here are three reasons why Aryaka's SmartCDN is something that today's businesses must consider deploying
1) Custom-built Platform For Dynamic Content Delivery
Aryaka's SmartCDN solution is built to
Aryaka's SmartCDN solution is built to address the needs of dynamic applications and focused on accelerating truly personalized, bi-directional content for every request, and provides a reliable and fast network pathway globally for dynamic content.
Traditional CDN's provide dynamic content acceleration capability by bolting on some of the required functionality on top of their existing architectures, which are highly optimized for static content delivery. Some CDN vendors claim to do "dynamic content delivery" while only supporting cached pages with a short TTL that can be shared with all users for a period of a few seconds. These solutions don't work for the transaction-oriented bi-directional interactive applications that the industry is moving towards.
In addition to providing HTTP(s) acceleration, Aryaka's SmartCDN can also accelerate the performance at the TCP level for non-HTTP(S) applications. It also works well for mobile applications. SmartCDN is a truly application-agnostic dynamic content delivery platform.
2) Dynamic Content Delivery Is Provided over a Global Private Network
Aryaka is one of very few providers that offers a CDN service powered by a global private network infrastructure. This means traffic spends less time on the public Internet and more time on our global private network, which is built by aggregating multiple layer-2 point-to-point links from top-tier telcos worldwide.
This technology is a stark contrast to traditional CDN solutions that rely on the public Internet for content delivery. A few solutions attempt to accelerate access by routing traffic through the "path of least resistance"," but packet loss and jitter are unavoidable on the middle mile of the public Internet, adversely affecting web and SaaS application performance.
Traditional CDNs do a good job of improving performance for static content by building high-end caching platforms. However, this doesn't work for dynamic apps and interactive content that can never be cached. The true judge of dynamic content delivery is the middle mile's quality, intelligence, and functionality since the content needs to be retrieved from the origin server every time it is accessed.
3) Content Delivery Purpose-Built for the Global Enterprise
Beyond providing a dedicated pathway for global dynamic content, Aryaka's SmartCDN is a feature-rich, highly optimized dynamic IP application delivery platform. It includes TCP optimization to supercharge the delivery of TCP applications using innovative techniques and provides access to advanced, real-time network and application visibility, and analytics on website traffic patterns in order to troubleshoot, report, and aid in more informed decision-making

From the remains of fortified towers to elegant churches and early Christian crosses, we have scoured the land to bring you the finest Anglo-Saxon sites in Britain. Most of these remains are in England, although a few can be found on the Welsh and Scottish borders, and all of the sites date from between 550 AD to 1055 AD.
You can use our interactive map below to explore the individual sites, or scroll down the page for a full list. Although we have attempted to create the most comphrensive list of Anglo-Saxon sites available on the internet, we're fairly certain that there are still a few missing! As such, we have included a feedback form at the bottom of the page so you can let us know if we've missed any out.
This tower was probably constructed by King Edwin of Northumbria in around 630, and is built into the much earlier Roman city walls of York. There is, however, a great deal of controversy over how old this tower is, with estimates ranging from 400 to 700AD.
Built in the late 6th century by the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia, this earthwork was designed as a defensive measure against the Mercians to the west. Specifically, it was designed to protect the ancient Icknield Way which was a key line of communication and transport at the time.
Built by King Alfred the Great as part of his military reforms, this ancient sea fort sits almost 100 metres above the sea and would have acted as a defensive measure against marauding Vikings coming down the Bristol Channel. It is thought this fort once housed an Anglo-Saxon mint in the early 11th century.
One of a series of defensive earthworks in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, Devil's Dyke was built by the kingdom of East Anglia some time in the late 6th century. It runs for 7 miles and crossed two Roman roads as well as the Icknield Way, allowing the East Anglians to control any passing traffic or troop movements. Today the Devil's Dyke route is a public footpath.
Much like Devil's Dyke, Fleam Dyke is a large defensive earthwork which was built to protect East Anglia from the kingdom of Mercia to the west. Today there is around 5 miles of the dyke remaining, with the majority of it open as a public footpath.
The famous Offa's Dyke runs almost the entirety of the English / Welsh border and was built by King Offa as a defensive border against the Kingdom of Powys to the west. Even today the earthwork spans almost 20 metres in width and 2 and a half metres in height. Visitors can walk the entire length of the dyke following the Offa's Dyke Path.
Only the outline of Winchester's Old Minster still remains, although it was fully excavated in the 1960s. The building would have been built in 648 by King Cenwalh of Wessex, and demolished soon after the Normans arrived to make way for a much larger cathedral.
Although not strictly an Anglo-Saxon building (it was in fact built by the Romans to protect themselves from Anglo-Saxon invaders!), they did make it their home after the Romans left England in the late 5th century.
Situated deep in the Suffolk countryside lies the Snape Anglo-Saxon burial site dating back to the 6th century AD. Featuring a ship burial, the site was more than likely built for East Anglian nobility.
Spong Hill is the largest Anglo-Saxon burial site ever excavated, and contains a whopping 2000 cremations and 57 burials! Before the Anglo-Saxons, the site was also used by the Romans and Iron Age settlers.
Perhaps the most famous of all Anglo-Saxon sites in England, Sutton Hoo is a set of two 7th century burial sites, one of which was excavated in 1939. The excavation revealed some of the most complete and well preserved Anglo-Saxon artifacts ever found, including the famous Sutton Hoo helmet which is now on show in the British Museum. The main tumulus is thought to have contained the remains of Rædwald, King of East Anglia, which was set within an undisturbed ship burial.
Before the discovery of Sutton Hoo in 1939, the Taplow burial ground had revealed some of the most rare and complete Anglo-Saxon treasures ever to be found. It is thought that the burial ground contains the remains of a Kentish sub-king, although due to it's location on the Mercia-Essex-Sussex-Wessex border this is up for debate.
This rather gruesome burial site contains the remains of 13 criminals, 10 of which had been decapitated for their crimes. The skulls of these decapitated corpses were also found nearby, albeit without their cheekbones as these were thought to have decayed whilst the heads were displayed on poles. Walking Wold is the most northerly Anglo-Saxon execution cemetery ever found.
Stretching for 35 miles through the countryside of Wiltshire and Somerset, this large defensive earthwork was built some 20 to 120 years after the Romans had left Britain. Set to a east-to-west alignment, it is thought that whoever built the dyke was defending themselves against invaders from the north. But who were these invaders...?
Once considered even more sophisticated than Offa's Dyke, this 40 mile earthwork was probably constructed by King Coenwulf of Mercia to protect his kingdom from the Welsh. Unfortunately Wat's Dyke is nowhere near as well preserved as its counterpart, and rarely rises higher than a few feet.
Dating back to around 700AD and likely to have been founded by Saint Aldhelm, this beautiful church has had few if any alterations since the 10th century.
Dating from around 660 AD, this small church is also the 19th oldest building in England! The church was constructed using Roman bricks from a nearby abandoned fort.
One of the largest intact Anglo-Saxon churches in the country, All Saint's was built sometime around 670 using Roman bricks from a nearby villa.
Situated next to Corpus Christi College, St Bene't's is the oldest building in Cambridge and dates back to the early 11th century. Unfortunately only the tower of the Anglo-Saxon building still remains, with the rest being rebuilt in the 19th century.
Built sometime in the 6th century AD, St Martin's Church in Canterbury is the oldest parish church still in use. It is also set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Canterbury Cathedral and St Augustine's Abbey.
Built around 1055, this late Anglo-Saxon chapel was being used as a dwelling until 1865. It is now maintained by English Heritage.
This elaborately decorated church is situated only 200 metres away from Odda's Chapel, another Anglo-Saxon building in the village of Deerhurst. It is thought that St Mary's Priory was built sometime in the 9th or early 10th century.
Completed in either the 7th or 11th centuries although heavily restored by the Victorians, this historic church is set in the grounds of Dover Castle and even boasts a Roman lighthouse as its bell tower!
It is now thought that this church was once part of an Anglo-Saxon manor, although the only original part to survive is the church tower.
Built in 670 with stone from a nearby Roman Fort, this small but extremely ancient church is one of the oldest in England. Look out for a specific Roman stone on the northern side of the church which includes the markings "LEG VI".
The oldest wooden church in the world, some parts of Greensted date back to the 9th century AD. If you are visiting be sure to look out for the 'Leper's Squint' which is a small hole allowing lepers (who were not allowed into the church) to receive a blessing from the priest with holy water.
Built in the early 11th century, St Gregory's Minster is best known for its extremely rare Viking sundial written in Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons.
Widely considered as one of the most important Anglo-Saxon structures in Oxfordshire, this church was actually built after the Norman invasion but by skilled Saxon masons.
This church is Oxford's oldest structure and was built in 1040, although the tower is the only original part that still remains. John Wesley (founder of the Methodist Church) has his pulpit on view in the building.
Perhaps the most stunning of all of England's Anglo-Saxon churches, St Mary the Blessed Virgin boasts a pyramid-style gabled helm which sits on top of the church tower! The church was founded just before the Norman Conquest although some structural changes were carried out by the Knights Templar in the latter half of the 12th century.
Situated deep in the Lincolnshire countryside, Stow Minster was rebuilt on the site of a much older church in the late 10th century. Interestingly, Stow Minster boasts one of the earliest forms of Viking graffiti in Britain; a scratching of a Viking sailing ship!
Due to a rather disastrous Victorian restoration, only a few fragments from the original Anglo-Saxon structure still remain of Lady St. Mary's church, although there is an Anglo-Saxon cross and inscribed stones inside.
Although the church dates to 1035 AD, the only original parts that are still intact are the the nave and a small window to the north of the structure. If you are visiting be sure to look out for the red stars which have been painted onto some of the walls; these were added in the 1600s to commemorate plague deaths in the parish.
This charming little church was built in the 7th century AD for St Birinus on the site of a much older Roman church. In fact, Roman tiles can still be seen in the crypt!
Although the interior of this church underwent a major restoration in the 1870's, most of the original stonework was left intact and unaltered. The earliest parts of the church (the west wall and porch) date from 675AD, whilst the tower was added later in around 900AD.
Founded around 700AD, this church boasts an Anglo-Saxon window in the south wall as well as a good example of 'herring-bone' stone work in the north wall. The chancel was built some time later by the Normans, whilst the tower is from the 14th century.
Featuring the only Anglo-Saxon church tower in the northwest, it is thought to have been built between 1041 and 1055. It was raised to its current height in 1588.
Originally a wooden church built around 630AD, much of the current stone structure of St Mary's dates from the late 9th century. Perhaps the most astonishing part of this church are the rare wall paintings on the east wall of the nave, and in particular a rare image of the Holy Trinity dating from the 9th century AD. This is the earliest known wall painting of the Holy Trinity in all of Europe. The ruinous structure of the church was used by Satanists until a local resident called Bob Davey stepped in and began a restoration project in 1992..
Standing where it was originally placed over 1200 years ago, the Bewcastle Cross is set within the churchyard of St Cuthbert's Church in Bewcastle. This cross stands at around four and a half metres high and includes the earliest surviving sundial in England.
Dating back to the early 900s, the Gosforth Cross is full of carvings from Norse mythology as well as Christian depictions. If you are in London, you can see a full sized replica of the cross at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Even older than the Gosford Cross, this stone was carved some time in the 9th century AD and sits in the churchyard of St Paul's in Cumbria. Much like the Gosford Cross, a full sized replica can be seen at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
After being moved umpteen times during its 1400-year history, it's quite amazing that the Eyam Cross is still almost complete! The cross would have been constructed by the kingdom of Mercia in the 7th century AD.
The Ruthwell Cross, situated in the Scottish Borders (then a part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria), is perhaps most famous for having been inscribed with the earliest known example of English poetry. In order to preserve the cross, it is now located inside Ruthwell church.
Standing proudly in the market square in Sandbach, Cheshire, are two unusually large Anglo-Saxon crosses dating back to the 9th century AD. Unfortunately during the Civil War the crosses were pulled down and broken into separate parts, and it was not until 1816 when they were reassembled.
This 4 metre high, 9th century shaft of an Anglo-Saxon cross stands on the south side of the church. The highest and oldest site in central Wolverhampton, it is likely to have served as a preaching cross prior to the founding of the church building.
Although we've tried our hardest to list every Anglo-Saxon site in Britain, we're almost positive that a few have slipped through our net... that's where you come in!

If you don't take it – it can't work: the consequences of not being treated or nonadherence to osteoporosis therapy

Abstract: Osteoporosis is a growing problem worldwide, linked to an increasingly aging population. Despite the availability of a wide variety of treatments for osteoporosis, a significant number of patients are either not being prescribed treatment or discontinue therapy as early as 6 months after initiation. The reasons for a lack of adherence are many but poor adherence increases the risk of fracture and, therefore, the disease burden to the patient and society. Results from large-scale, randomized clinical studies have shown that different osteoporosis treatments are efficacious in reducing the risk of fracture. Studies assessing the effects of discontinuing osteoporosis therapies show that some treatments appear to continue to protect patients from the risk of future fracture even when treatment is stopped. However, these trials involve patients who have been compliant with treatment for between 2 and 5 years, a situation not reflective of real-world clinical practice. In reality, patients who discontinue therapy within the first 6 months may never achieve the optimum protection from fracture regardless of which treatment they have been prescribed. Clinicians need to develop management strategies to enable patients to adhere to their treatment. This will ultimately result in better prevention of fracture and a lower burden of disease to society and patients.
Keywords: osteoporosis, adherence, treatment, persistence, compliance, fracture

Michael Harding explores the wonderful world of cider, from it's traditions to some of the lesser known varieties (and the best places to sample them), along with a brief lesson on how easy it is to make and a fitting description by 'Cider with Rosie' Novelist Laurie Lee..

What does this litany of fantastic names conjure up when you recite it? Are they rare species of butterflies? Exotic birds? Flowers? Extravagantly named racehorses perhaps? No, this wonderful list represents just a few of Britain's traditional cider apple varieties. There are thought to be around 360 distinct varieties of cider apple in Britain, although many of these are restricted to just a few trees in individual orchards. Their flamboyant names reflect local people, places, dialects, and the appearance or taste of the apples, and just hearing them read out brings a smile to my face as I think of the apple growers and cider makers who first named them.
The cider tradition in England goes back centuries; the first mention of cider is in a Royal Charter from 1230 giving the Bishop of Bath the income from a cider press (and there is still a Church connection to cider – the monks of Ampleforth Abbey own the country's northern-most commercial orchard in Yorkshire and produce a cider there). It was of such importance in certain districts that babies were baptised in cider, and farm labourers were given four pints a day to keep them refreshed and happy! Unfortunately the fortunes of cider waned with the years, and some cider orchards were grubbed up in the agricultural depressions of the early twentieth century, meaning some cider apple varieties were lost forever. Happily, there has been a recent rise in popularity for cider, and many new cider orchards have been planted in recent years. We should all celebrate the resurgence of this great drink!
Cider apple trees are divided into four main types based on their taste characteristics; Sweets, Sharps, Bittersweets, and Bittersharps. Traditionally cider makers blended the juice from a number of different apple varieties to get a cider with the desired strength and taste, a highly skilled job and one only learnt from long years of tasting and blending. Cider is still made with blends of apple juice today, although single variety cider is also available. Some cider connoisseurs, myself included, maintain that cider made from a number of different varieties (when made well) is more complex and rounded than single varietal cider, although others like the way that single varietals allow you to taste the essence of a particular apple. 'Foxwhelp' and 'Red-Streak' were particularly esteemed single varietal ciders in the seventeenth Century, and although these are not available today (as far as I know), other single varietals certainly are.
17th century cider making
There are two main styles of traditional cider in the UK, the West Country style and the Kent/East Anglia style. The West Country style, the most popular, is made with specific cider apples as described above. The main cider producing counties working in this tradition are Somerset, Devon, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and there are hundreds of producers, big and small, in these areas. The Kent/East Anglia tradition is slightly different, and uses eating and cooking apples (of which there are also hundreds of varieties), giving a cider that is lighter in body and flavour, with cleaner, more vinous notes to it. Biddenden is a good example of this type.
In the past, cider was produced and consumed in other regions as well. In my own county of Sussex, not thought of as a cider county, the Charter Rolls of 1341 listed 80 parishes where cider was made (although the dominance of the West Country was evident even then – 74 of those parishes were in West Sussex, and only 6 in East Sussex!). Beer gradually displaced cider over much of England, however, and by 1841 there were no commercial cider makers left in Sussex. In recent years however, people all over the country have realised the benefits of this traditional drink, and I am happy to report that there are now a number cider producers in East and West Sussex, including the excellent Gospel Green in Haslemere and Hunts of Sedlescombe, who produce very different but equally delicious ciders.
Of course, there is the other main type of cider produced in Britain, the mass-produced, pasteurised and carbonated type, sold in off-licenses across the country. Strongbow and Blackthorn are two well-known ciders of this type. This is made with apple juice concentrate and added sugar and, while it can be a refreshing drink if ice cold, has none of the depth and complexity of a traditional cider. Incidentally, real cider should not be drunk ice cold because many of the apple flavours and aromas are damped down by very low temperatures. To gain the full apple hit from a pint of cider it should be cellar-cool, not ice-cold.
There are about 480 cider makers in Britain, ranging from huge scale factory producers to tiny farm gate enterprises, and each cider they produce is different. But where can you find all these amazing ciders? Well, most supermarkets have a fairly large range of ciders, but these will still be from the larger cider makers. Many of the really different and exciting ciders are harder to track down. Try farm shops or farmers markets, or look on the website of CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale – perhaps an odd place to look, but they support traditional cider makers as well as brewers!).
Another good place to go is Middle Farm shop near Lewes in East Sussex. They have a cider barn with around 100 varieties of cider on tap at any one time, all available to try! All of these are from small producers, the barrels are lined up around the walls, with hand written labels with nothing but a name and a strength if you're lucky, the only problem is that there are too many to try!
One of the best places to go and drink cider would be one of the four remaining 'Cider Houses' in Britain. These are essentially pubs that serve nothing but cider, and used to be common in cider districts, but have now largely disappeared. I must admit that I haven't actually been to one myself (I definitely will one day though), but by all reports the remaining four all have a suitably apple-enthused atmosphere and are great places to appreciate our proud cider heritage.
The last cider houses are:
The Monkey House, Defford, Worcestershire
The Cider House, Wooton Green, Shropshire
Ye Olde Cider Bar, Newton Abbot, Devon,
The Bristol and Exeter Inn, Bridgwater, Somerset.

Of course, the other way to get a good pint of cider is to make it! Cider really is the simplest alcoholic drink to make. If you want to make cider I advise you to read up on techniques (there are some excellent books like 'Real Cider Making on a Small Scale' by Pooley and Lomax), but the basic instructions can all be reduced to a few sentences; crush some apples, collect the juice, leave it to ferment and then bottle it! There is no need to add anything, the natural yeasts present on the apples converts the juice into cider. When there has been a good apple harvest my mother makes cider using this traditional method using a mixture of eating and cooking apples, with a few perry pears thrown in for good measure. The result is a deceptively strong brew named 'Badgerbite' (not available for sale) that is highly sought after by those in the know! What could be more natural, and more delicious!
Perhaps the most eloquent description of cider was given by Laurie Lee in his chronicle of rural Gloucestershire life 'Cider with Rosie': 'Never to be forgotten, that first long secret drink of golden fire, juice of those valleys and of that time, wine of wild orchards, of russet summer, of plump red apples, and Rosie's burning cheeks…' If that doesn't inspire you to drink cider, then nothing will! Next time you have a picnic or go to the pub, see if you can find a local cider, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
