I was joined by Ken Sherlock, another Brandon regular, for an intense days birding on the north Norfolk coast on Wednesday, arriving at our first stop of Holme Dunes shortly after 7am in glorious weather.
Curlew - good numbers today!
Parking at the Beach Road car park near the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club our first bird of the day was a Hobby, when one was hawking over one of the greens as we approached the boardwalk. From here we took the well maintained coastal footpath, eventually ending up at the Holme Bird observatory. There are a range of coastal habitats including sand dunes, freshwater pools, grazing marsh and saltmarsh to explore. Much of the site consists of natural habitats maintained largely by coastal processes.
Wall Brown - Lots along the coastal path.
Even at this early hour the heat was building, allowing a good deal of butterflies to take to the wing. These included Wall Brown, Small Heath and Small Tortoiseshell, a single Clouded Yellow flew east across the sand dunes. Along the shore line a constant flow of Terns were noted, Little, Sandwich and Common, the latter included good numbers of juvenile. A Marsh Harrier flew high in from the sea and during an extended sea watch Arctic Skua and Great Skua (bonxie) were seen, the bonxie giving a Lesser black-backed Gull a really hard time! Up towards the observatory a small fall of Meadow Pipit and the return walk produced a Mediterranean Gull, which flew west over the dunes. A list of other species compiled upon returning to the car park contained: Barn Swallow, House Martin, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Whitethroat, Bullfinch, Little Egret, Bar & Black-tailed Godwit, Sanderling, Oystercatcher, Turnstone, Dunlin, Redshank, Spotted Redshank, Ringed Plover and Curlew.
By the time we reached RSPB Titchwell the temperature had reached the high 20's and here we met up with Pete Worthy, another Brandon team member who happened to be staying locally. Along the west bank path towards the beach at least (5) Spoonbill, including a juvenile on the freshwater marsh, two further Marsh Harrier, plus Cetti's Warbler, Linnet, Juvenile Shelduck, Ruff, Ringed & Little Ringed Plover, Greenshank, Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, several Curlew Sandpiper, Avocet, Snipe and Dunlin. Lunch on the beach produced juvenile Eider on the sea, but unfortunately with the tide well out a reasonably quiet period produced nothing more of note.
Late afternoon, Norfolk Wildlife Trust Cley Marshes in 29C and a good look at Pat's Pool. Here at least (5) Curlew Sandpiper, Green and Common Sandpiper, Ruff, Dunlin and our only Little Stint of the day. Wildfowl consisted of Wigeon, Teal, Gadwall, Tufted Duck and Shoveler. A reported Pectoral Sandpiper was apparently showing well from the Bishop's Hide, unfortunately just as we were about to move across for a look a juvenile Peregrine dashed our hopes, scattering the whole pool in typical fashion. At Bishop's Hide a painstaking search for the now displaced Pectoral proved negative, the third time I've bombed on a Pectoral in Norfolk, (3) Egyptian Geese were the final notables, ending a long and fruitful day.
In typical fashion while enjoying Norfolk, news came through locally of a Spotted Crake at Napton Reservoir. After the initial disappointment, I'm happy to report that thanks to John Judge I caught up with the bird just before dusk this evening, a super little shy bird and well worth seeing. On another positive note, at least 35/40 Yellow Wagtails also came in to roost at the reservoir during my visit, another local mystery solved.

The leader in Bluetooth Mesh technology consolidates a strong start to 2016 with a remarkable presence at Light + Building.
Frankfurt, Germany, March 13, 2016 — Silvair, a provider of a complete smart lighting platform enabling manufacturers to provide enhanced lighting experience to their customers, is pleased to announce partnerships with Organic Response, Aquaform and Zamel. The 3 companies join the rapidly expanding Silvair ecosystem which already includes such brands as Girard Sudron, NodOn and Soraa. The company's connected lighting solution based on Bluetooth Mesh is featured in a growing number of lighting products, many of which will be showcased at Light + Building 2016, the world's leading trade fair for the lighting and building services industry.
"In cooperation with lighting industry experts, we've designed and developed an end-to-end solution that is suitable for virtually all commercial lighting applications. The variety of products featuring the Silvair technology which are showcased at Light + Building demonstrates the versatility and flexibility of our smart lighting platform. Based on groundbreaking Bluetooth Mesh technology, Silvair is fully scalable, future-proof and ready to meet rapidly growing market demand," said Rafal Han, CEO of Silvair.
At Light + Building 2016, Silvair is providing robust wireless connectivity to manufacturers of luminaires, drivers and switches, while also presenting the first implementation of the Silvair Logic gateway, which allows data generated by smart devices to be sent to the cloud via Bluetooth Mesh.
Working lighting installations with a total of 160 Silvair-enabled sensor nodes will be presented at the Feilo Sylvania and LTS/Fagerhult booths, where the Silvair solution enables the adaptive, energy-efficient lighting control system designed by Organic Response to collect location-specific occupancy data from individual fixtures and push it to the cloud via the Silvair Logic gateway. The data can then be further analyzed in order to maximize energy savings in an office environment. A pilot project using the Silvair technology is already underway at the AGL head office, an A-grade, 6-star Green Star rated building in Melbourne, Australia.
Silvair Modules are capable of delivering both mesh network connectivity and customizable lighting firmware to a wide range of lighting products. At Zamel booth, L+B attendees will have a chance to see a unique Silvair-enabled wireless CCT switch for low-latency adjustment of light color temperature.
Girard Sudron will present connected track lights which – in addition to offering the standard set of Silvair wireless control features – will allow individual control of each light.
Going beyond smart lighting control, at both stands Silvair will also demonstrate some of the value-added services that can be delivered via connected luminaires with the beacon functionality that is enabled by Bluetooth. In cooperation with Zamel and Aquaform, Silvair will soon be deploying cutting edge beacon-via-lighting infrastructure at one of the top museums in Kraków, Poland.
As the leading contributor to the Bluetooth SIG Mesh Working Group, Silvair will ensure state-of-the-art security and full interoperability of its customers' products by upgrading them over-the-air to the Bluetooth Mesh standard following its release later this year.
Silvair is a provider of an end-to-end smart lighting platform enabling manufacturers to deliver enhanced lighting experience to their customers. The company offers a complete set of tools allowing end users to wirelessly configure, control and manage their commercial lighting environments in order to drive energy costs down, improve well-being of building occupants, and increase the efficiency of their assets by analyzing data collected from the connected lighting infrastructure. The solution ensures full scalability, government-grade security, and compliance with the forthcoming Bluetooth Mesh standard.

Q: how to return objects in array as string with comma ? var list = [ {
        id : 1234,
        shop : 'shop1'
    }, {
        id : 4312,
        shop : 'shop2'
    } ];
I want that only id attributes in object array return as "1234,4312". How can I do?

A: Even easier:
var list = [ { id : 1234, shop : 'shop1' }, { id : 4312, shop : 'shop2' } ];
ids = list.map(function(obj){
    return obj.id
})

If you specifically need a string, add a .toString() to the end of the map call:
ids = list.map(function(obj){
    return obj.id
}).toString()

A: You have to loop through the array and create a new array. It's actually not that hard:
var list = [ { id : 1234, shop : 'shop1' }, { id : 4312, shop : 'shop2' } ];
var ids = [];
list.forEach(function(obj, index){
    ids.push(obj.id);
});

if you want that as a comma delimited string you can simply call ids.toString(); it's the default behavior.

The knowledge base is a little-known feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM that allows you to capture information in a structured manner so that it can easily be searched later.
This search can be conducted via the keywords that have been defined for the articles or by a full-text search of the article contents.
The content arrangement is based on templates defined by your System Administrators so when it comes time to create a new article it's as simple as picking a template and filling in the content.
To achieve this, you need to Copy and Paste the item from a browser.
If you see a link used in a web page you should be able to Select and Copy it via a Right-click or Ctrl-C, then Paste it into the article using a Right-click or Ctrl-V.
If you can't find a link, you can create your own with some simple HTML, using something like Notepad.
On line #4 replace 'http://www.bing.com' with the URL you'd like the link to open, also replace 'Click Here!' what text you'd like to appear.
On line #5 replace 'http://www.imagesource.com/picture.jpg' with the URL of the image. The image does not get embedded into the article so it will need to be hosted someplace that is accessible from your network.
If you only want a link or an image, delete the line you don't need.
When complete, save the file with the .html extension. Then Right-click the file and Select 'Open with', then pick a browser from the list of applications.

Tag: Old Version of Adobe Air
Old Version of Adobe Air
Date Released: March 19, 2007
Publisher: Adobe Systems
Operation Systems: Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android
Versions: 1 – 34
Adobe AIR (Adobe's Integrated Runtime) is a cross-platform environment for building Rich Internet Applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, and then it deploys it as a desktop application.
AIR is a runtime environment that allows Web based technologies to be used to construct more traditional desktop-like programs. It is designed is to be a browser-less runtime for Rich Internet Applications to run on the desktop.
Unlike your traditional browser based Rich Internet Application which does not need to be installed, an Adobe AIR application is packaged, digitally signed, and installed to the user's computer. This gives the application access to the local system services like storing and using files whereas a browser based system is more limited to how data is accessed and stored.
Another difference with Adobe Air applications is that they can also operate offline. So the user can continue to work when the internet is down. Then when service is restored, the application can upload data, or provide other functionality that it would normally accomplish when connected.
The first actual version of Adobe Air was a public preview release called Apollo and was released on March 19, 2007. Three months later it was renamed to Adobe AIR and a beta version was released to the public.
In June 2008, Adobe AIR Version 1.1 was released and it supported the building of international applications. It also added support for Windows XP Tablet Edition and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista Home Premium.
Version 1.5 of Adobe Air was released in October of 2008 and it added encrypted local databases which offer better support for larger data files. It also added Flash Player 10 capabilities so it could take advantage of the new custom filters, blend modes, and fills with Adobe Pixel Bender. It also supported 3D effects. The version of WebKit in Adobe AIR was updated to the newest version which included an new version of SquirrelFish, a bytecode interpreter that improved the speed of JavaScript for common actions. If you want to build Rich Internet Applications and you want to deploy them to the desktop, then Adobe AIR is the best platform to get you there fast. It will enable you to have your favorite Web applications with you all the time. With AIR, applications are easier, more powerful, and even more fun to use.


On Thursday the 16th of April the new H&M Conscious Exclusive collection will hit selected H&M stores! Thinking about buying that mesmerizing skirt? I got the chance to test it for you on the streets of Antwerp. Honestly? I felt like a queen. There's nothing more fruitful for your self-esteem and your elegance than wearing a more-than-maxi skirt in a thousand layers, with a hand-painted print. You'll look and feel like a million bucks. This mille-feuilles number is the best thing that ever hit H&M stores. Great job on your ever evolving sustainability plan H&M, you rock it in style. Read their Sustainability Report 2014 right here. See you at the H&M Antwerp doors on Thursday!
where can I buy this collection in belgium? Nothing can be found online. Last year I was in Milan, so I bought some stuff there.
So. Much. Love. For this skirt. Too bad it launches on a Thursday and only in Brussels/Antwerp. This is sheer perfection, I'll give you that.
ZA-LI-GE foto's! En ja die rok is gewoon hemels he.


We often forget that our skin is our largest organ. Everything we put on our skin can be absorbed into the body. Maybe you eat organic, whole foods. You drink water, exercise, and get eight hours of sleep. If you haven't taken a serious look at your beauty routine though, now is the time.
Here is a basic recipe for a super hydrating body butter for all those pesky dry spots (think feet, hands, elbows, and knees). You can customize it using any scent you wish, and if you prefer using different oils or butters that's up to you. For this recipe I used cocoa butter, coconut oil, and sweet almond oil.
– If you'd like to achieve a light, fluffy, and airy texture I recommend shea butter over cocoa butter. The cocoa butter makes a slightly-firmer intensive moisturizer that melts once it touches your skin. It does not have the same whipped consistency as store-bought body butters.
– You can fragrance this butter however you like, but I recommend either body-safe essential oils or body-safe fragrance oils. Some recipes I've found online use vanilla extract and spices from the cupboard like cinnamon and nutmeg. I've tried using vanilla extract and I had to add a ton to achieve any scent whatsoever. As far as the spices go: It just doesn't seem like a great idea. I feel like it'd be gritty and wouldn't rub in.
– I buy my fragrance oils through CandleScience. They have an excellent selection of body-safe fragrances. "Very Vanilla" is one of my favorites and would work beautifully with this body butter.
– If you do choose to substitute ingredients for what I have listed (ex. Replacing almond oil with jojoba oil) try to keep the ratios of butter: oil the same.
1. In a double boiler, gently melt cocoa butter and coconut oil.
2. Add almond oil and fragrance of choice.
3. Place mixture in the freezer for 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture has begun to solidify, but is still slushy.
4. Use a stand mixer to whip until fluffy, around 10 minutes.
5. Store in a glass jar with a lid and use as you would a regular body lotion.

Remembering Olivia Newton-John – addio a Sandy di Grease
By Nora
Dame Olivia Newton-John, la cantante e attrice anglo-australiana vincitrice di quattro Grammy Award, star del musical Grease, ha detto addio per sempre all'età di 73 anni. La ricordiamo.
Olivia Newton-John was born in Cambridge, UK on 26 September 1948.
Her father had been a British spy during World War Two. Her mother was the daughter of the German Nobel laureate, Max Born.
The family moved to Australia in 1954, where she was raised.
Her breakthrough came in 1971 when she released a Bob Dylan-penned track, If Not For You, which reached number seven in the UK charts and featured on an album of the same name.
She won four Grammy awards and scored seven US number one hits between 1974 and 1977.
In 1978 she became a global star with the release of Grease. The film was the biggest box-office hit of 1978, and gave Newton-John three hit singles, You're The One That I Want, Hopelessly Devoted to You and Summer Nights as well as a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.
It was a catalyst for change in both her image and her musical direction. She appeared on the cover of her next album, Totally Hot, dressed in black leather. It was her first US Top 10 album since 1975.
The follow-up, Physical, was her most overtly sexual record, and was hailed by many critics as her best album. The title track held the Billboard number one spot for 10 weeks.
Olivia Newton-John was first diagnosed with cancer in 1992 and went on to become a leading advocate for cancer research. Her charity, the Olivia Newton-John Foundation, has raised millions of pounds to support research.
In a statement, the hospital that runs the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne – which was opened after the star's campaigning – said she "encouraged, inspired and supported" staff and patients every day.
"We are incredibly grateful for the special relationship we had with Olivia for many years. Her generous support and gift provided hope and changed the lives of thousands of cancer patients… She was the light at the end of the tunnel for many, many people."
In 2019, after being diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time, she was asked by CBS News how she coped.
"It was consuming my day and after a time I went 'you know what', I need to enjoy my life so I'm going to eat a cookie if I want it," she said.
"Because the joy of life and everyday living has to be a part of that healing process as well. So I've chosen that path to be grateful and to feel good about things because the other side's not so good."
Her efforts in the field were recognised by Queen Elizabeth, who honoured her with a damehood in 2020 New Year's Honours list.
She died peacefully at her California ranch surrounded by family and friends.
In a statement posted to her social media channels, Newton-John's husband John Easterling said she had died on Monday as he hailed her as "a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer".

Question: I keep hearing how bad processed food is for you. It seems like all food is processed, so how do I eat healthy?
Answer: You are right that many foods are processed, however it is not necessarily true that processed foods are bad for you!
done to a food before we eat it. Simple food-processing methods include cooking, freezing, drying, canning, salting … even washing our food. More complicated food- processing methods include making ready-to-eat meals— such as frozen entrees, pizzas and burritos—that can be quickly reheated and eaten.
People have been processing their food for centuries. Hundreds of years ago, salt was added to preserve meat for times when food was sparse. Preservation is still a big reason to process our foods, leading to a longer shelf life, less waste due to spoilage and the ability to transport perishable foods over long distances.
Keep in mind that there are no foods to always eat or always avoid; individual foods should be eaten and enjoyed within an overall balanced diet. Dietary patterns over time—not individual foods, meals or even days— determine our health and longevity. When chosen carefully and eaten in moderation, processed foods are an important part of our diet and contribute greatly to the affordability, convenience, safety, nutritional content and taste of our meals and snacks!

Fertility Clinic Sued by Gay Couple Over Sperm Mix-Up
By William Vogeler, Esq. on March 15, 2019 6:58 AM
Life can be confusing, especially when it comes to gestational surrogacy.
In New York, for example, a gay couple has sued a fertility institute for mixing up their sperm. The men wanted to have a woman bear their children by artificial insemination, but something went wrong at the clinic.
In Doe v. New England Fertility Institute, they blame the doctor for producing the wrong baby. It was supposed to be the other father's.
A Little Tangled
The family tree in this case is a little tangled.
John Doe and Richard Roe, as they are named in the case, wanted two have two children. The first child would be fathered by Doe, and the second by Roe.
A woman agreed to donate her eggs, and the gestational mother gave birth to the first child in 2016. They tried for the second child in 2018, but the pregnancy failed.
Meanwhile, the first child -- Jane Doe in the complaint -- was welcomed into Doe's biological family. But as she grew, the family thought she looked a lot like Roe.
A Lot Like Roe
A paternity test confirmed their suspicions. Jane Doe was biologically Jane Roe.
"While the plaintiffs are overjoyed about having Jane Doe in their lives, this news was shocking and caused emotional distress to plaintiffs and their families," they said in their complaint.
It could have been worse. In California, a mother is suing a doctor for allegedly using his own sperm to artificially inseminate her.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol with important antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. We investigated the effect of resveratrol on alcohol-induced mortality and liver lesions in mice.
Mice were randomly distributed into four groups (control, resveratrol-treated control, alcohol and resveratrol-treated alcohol). Chronic alcohol intoxication was induced by progressively administering alcohol in drinking water up to 40% v/v. The mice administered resveratrol received 10 mg/ml in drinking water. The animals had free access to standard diet. Blood levels were determined for transaminases, IL-1 and TNF-α. A histological evaluation was made of liver damage, and survival among the animals was recorded.
Transaminase concentration was significantly higher in the alcohol group than in the rest of the groups (p < 0.05). IL-1 levels were significantly reduced in the alcohol plus resveratrol group compared with the alcohol group (p < 0.05). TNF-α was not detected in any group. Histologically, the liver lesions were more severe in the alcohol group, though no significant differences between groups were observed. Mortality in the alcohol group was 78% in the seventh week, versus 22% in the alcohol plus resveratrol group (p < 0.001). All mice in the alcohol group died before the ninth week.
The results obtained suggest that resveratrol reduces mortality and liver damage in mice.
Alcohol abuse is a major cause of liver disease in Western countries. In the United States it has been estimated that there are some 25,000 deaths from cirrhosis yearly, about half of which are related with alcohol . The cirrhosis death rate (irrespective of cause) in the United States is about 12 per 100,000 population, while the 5 and 10-year survival rates for alcoholic cirrhosis are reported at 23% and 7%, respectively, much worse than other types of cirrhosis .
Alcohol can cause liver damage in the form of steatosis or fatty liver, hepatitis, fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. In general, the amount and duration of alcohol abuse correlate with the presence and severity of liver damage, at least as regards the initial stage of fatty liver . It is still uncertain, however, why only 20–30% of long-term alcohol abusers develop severe liver disease. For instance, one study estimated that cirrhosis develops in only 14% of alcoholics consuming 160 g of alcohol (12 drinks) per day for 8 years . The relatively low incidence of severe liver damage in alcoholics and the poor correlation between the amount of alcohol and the severity of the disease suggest that in addition to genetic influences, the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease involves other important environmental factors [3–5].
One hypothesis is that substances such as polyphenols may be present in the diet, or even in alcoholic beverages, thereby contributing to inhibit alcohol induced damage. Polyphenols possess a variety of biological functions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin polyphenolic compound found in various plants, including grapes, berries, and peanuts. Multiple lines of compelling evidence indicate its beneficial effects on neurological, hepatic, and cardiovascular systems. Resveratrol has also been reported to have anti-cancer, anti-mycotic, and anti-bacterial properties [6–9].
Among the possible mechanisms responsible for its biological activities are downregulation of the inflammatory response through inhibition of synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory mediators, modification of eicosanoid synthesis, inhibition of Kupffer cells and adhesion molecules, inhibition of activated immune cells, or inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) via its inhibitory effects on nuclear factor (kappa)B (NF-(kappa)B) or the activator protein-1 (AP-1) [5, 10–12]. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the target organs of resveratrol are liver and kidney, where it is concentrated after absorption and is mainly converted to a sulfated form and a glucuronide conjugate .
The present study investigates whether resveratrol is able to reduce alcohol-induced mortality and liver damage in mice.
Male Balb/c mice (CRIFFA, Barcelona, Spain) weighing about 26 g were used. All experiments were conducted in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the US Public Health Service. Animals were maintained on a regular 12-hour light period at a controlled temperature (25 ± 2°C), with free access to food and water. The mice were adapted for 2 to 5 days prior to initiation of the experimental protocol. The diet consisted of 58.5% carbohydrates, 15.5% proteins, 2.7% fat, 5.5% minerals, 3.7% fiber and 12% humidity (PANLAB, Barcelona, Spain). The caloric contents were 3000 kcal/kg.
Mice were distributed into four groups: control, resveratrol-treated control, alcohol and resveratrol-treated alcohol. Resveratrol was obtained from SIGMA Chemical, (Pool, Dorset) and alcohol from PRS.PANREAC. In order to induce alcoholic intoxication, pure alcohol was progressively diluted in the drinking water: 10% (v/v) alcohol in the first week, 20% in the second, 30% in the third, and 40% in the fourth and subsequent weeks until the end of the study. Resveratrol (10 mg/ml) was also added to the water. Liquids and food were changed twice a week and the animals were monitored daily for general health.
The timing of sacrifice for the study of liver damage was determined from previous trials in which mortality was seen to be very high after the sixth week. The animals were killed at 6 weeks using intraperitoneal pentobarbital (Nembutol). The animals destined for the evaluation of mortality were followed until death.
The mortality and liver-damage studies were each repeated on three occasions to confirm the histological and laboratory alterations (6 mice per group, for a total of 18 animals per group) and again on three occasions to confirm the mortality curves (6 mice per group, for a total of 18 animals per group).
At the time of sacrifice alcohol in blood was determined by the AxSYM REA assay, a quantitative reagent system for the measurement of ethanol in murine whole blood (Abbott Axsym System). Laboratory parameters such as AST, ALT, creatinine, urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides, GGT, amylases, total bilirubin and hematocrit were determined on a computer-controlled biochemical analyzer.
Serum TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations were measured using ELISA kits based on anti-mouse TNF-α and IL-1β monoclonal antibodies (R&D Systems, Boston, MA).
The histological study was conducted following a midline laparotomy to remove the liver. Samples of liver tissue removed at the time the mouse was killed were placed immediately in 10% buffered formalin and subsequently embedded in paraffin. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin using standard techniques. Sections were viewed without knowledge of the treatment group to which each animal had belonged.
Quantitative data were expressed as an average ± SD for the different animals in each group, and comparisons were made using the 2-tailed Student's t test. P values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
The mortality curves were similar in all three test series.
The mice in the alcohol group began to die after the second week of alcohol intoxication, with a survival of 22% (4/18) in the seventh week. None of the mice survived beyond eight weeks. The animals belonging to the alcohol plus resveratrol group began to die later (after the fourth week, involving a single mouse), with a survival of 78% (14/18) in the seventh week. The control and resveratrol groups in turn presented survivals of 100% and 89% (16/18), respectively, in the seventh week (Figure 1). Survival was significantly lower in the alcohol group than in the other three groups (p < 0.001).
Survival of the different groups of mice over time (weeks). Mortality was of 100% at 8 weeks in the alcohol (OH) group and only 50% in the (OH-Resveratrol) group. (OH; alcohol group).
The mice subjected to alcohol intoxication showed a poorer general condition after the second week, as reflected by decreased activity, immobility, grouping and coarse hair. No such differences were observed in the other three groups (control, resveratrol and alcohol plus resveratrol).
The average food intake among the control rats was 4.27 ± 0.86 g/day, which was similar to the consumption in the resveratrol group (4.47 ± 0.63 g/day). The alcohol group and the alcohol plus resveratrol group showed an important reduction in food intake, with 3.28 ± 0.86 and 3.11 ± 0.51 g/day, respectively. These differences between the group with alcohol and the groups without alcohol were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Similar observations applied to liquid consumption, which on average was similar in the control group and in the resveratrol group (5.98 ± 2.07 ml/day and 5.50 ± 0.10 ml/day, respectively), while the liquid consumed in the alcohol groups was comparatively less (3.14 ± 1.46 ml/day in the alcohol group and 2.97 ± 0.97 ml/day in the alcohol plus resveratrol group)(p < 0.05). Each mouse on the alcohol and alcohol plus resveratrol groups did ingested approximately 3 ml, that is, around 30 mg of resveratrol and 0.24 g of alcohol per day.
Body weight in the control and resveratrol group was maintained during the study, while the corresponding values in the alcohol groups were seen to decrease (p < 0.05)(Figure 2). The drop in body weight was more pronounced in the group administered alcohol only, although there were no significant differences compared with the alcohol plus resveratrol group.
Body weights of the mice at the start, half-way and at the end of the study. Weight increase was observed in the control and resveratrol groups while a decrease existed in the alcohol group. Weight decrease was less evident in the OH-Resveratrol group. P < 0.05 vs. control group and resveratrol group. (OH; alcohol group).
ALT concentration in the alcohol group was significantly higher than in the rest of the groups (p < 0.001). AST concentration in the alcohol group was significantly higher than in the alcohol plus resveratrol group (p < 0.05). Stastiscally significant differences in AST levels were also observed between the two groups with alcohol and the two groups without alcohol (p < 0.05) (Fig. 3).
AST and ALT plasma levels in each group are shown. * P < 0.05 vs. other groups.
The AST/ALT ratio in the control series and resveratrol group was 3.4 and 3.5, respectively. In contrast, the ratio in the alcohol group and alcohol plus resveratrol group was 1.87 and 4.16, respectively.
The values for alkaline phosphatase (AP) were 208.5 ± 16.5 U/l in the control group and 209 ± 14 U/l in the resveratrol group. AP in the alcohol plus resveratrol group was higher (262 ± 17 U/l) than in the alcohol group (237.5 ± 15 U/l)(p = 0,5).
There were no differences in terms of the other laboratory parameters such as creatinine, urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides, GGT, amylases, total bilirubin and hematocrit.
Arterial blood alcohol determinations revealed a mean value of 34.73 mg/dl (range 15.52 – 55.45 mg/dl) among the mice administered alcohol in water solution, while no alcohol was detected in the blood in any of the control or resveratrol groups.
Figure 4 shows that the IL-1 levels were increased in the alcohol group versus the rest of the groups (p < 0.05). The blood levels of IL-1 in the alcohol plus resveratrol mice were even lower than in the control group and resveratrol-treated control group. The blood levels of IL-1 in the alcohol plus resveratrol mice were lower than in the alcohol group (p < 0,001). TNF-α was not detected in any group.
Serum concentrations of interleukin-1 (IL-1) in the different groups. The control group and resveratrol group showed higher plasma levels than those observed in the alcohol plus resveratrol group. * P < 0.05 vs. control group, Δ P < 0,001 vs alcohol group.
The histological liver lesions were mild in the alcohol and alcohol plus resveratrol groups compared with the laboratory alterations and critical condition of the mice. The observed lesions consisted of moderate mixed lympho-monocytic infiltrations with steatosis ranging from 10–15% (Figure 5). No fibrosis or liver cirrhosis was observed.
Liver sections from mice in control group (A) and resveratrol group (B) showed normal liver histology. Liver sections from a mouse in alcohol group showed mixed lympho-monocytic infiltrations around the portal vein (C). Mild steatosis with small fat droplets in the liver obtained from a mouse in alcohol group (D).
Alcohol is toxic for both humans and animals, and exerts important negative effects upon the liver, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas, hematological and immune systems, gastrointestinal apparatus and endocrine system [14, 15]. Chronic alcohol abuse induces multiorgan deterioration with an increase in mortality. In humans, for example, alcoholics with severe denutrition suffer a 54% mortality rate after 12 months versus 9% among patients with mild denutrition . The present experimental study found chronic (6 weeks in mice with an average lifespan of two years) and severe alcohol intoxication (40% of all fluid intake in the form of alcohol) to cause increased mortality after the second week. Food and alcohol intake was similar in the alcohol and alcohol plus resveratrol mice groups but a strong difference in mortality was observed between them. The cause of death was not known, though the most likely explanation is multiorgan failure secondary to denutrition, coagulation disorders (hypercoagulability was seen in the alcohol group, thus complicating blood extraction), liver alterations, increased infections and endotoxemia. Oxidative stress and endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide (LPS)) are commonly elevated in the blood of alcoholics and in certain animal models of alcoholic liver disease . It causes the release of a battery of cytokines from macrophages and other cells. Reactive oxygen species are capable of damaging the cell in many ways. They have been shown to react with all major classes of cellular constituents: lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. It is well established that chronic ethanol administration leads to oxidative stress in the liver and other organs . Thus, a high amount of alcohol intake, as observed in this model, has deleterious effects on circulatory, immune and neural systems as well as on blood elements, endocrine glands, pancreas, liver and muscles and bone leading to increased in mortality .
Alcoholic patients have a high prevalence of protein-calorie malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies [20, 21]. In our study a significant decrease was observed in food ingestion and body weight among the alcohol-consuming mice. There are many reasons for malnutrition, perhaps the most important of which is decreased intake of nutrients. Calories derived from alcohol, are called "empty calories"., in reference to the fact that alcohol, which has 7.1 kcal/g, is not utilized properly by the body as a nutrient . Thus, its intake is not associated with normal (expected) weight gain. The reasons for decreased intake of foods are many and include alcohol per se, presence of liver disease, impairment of the taste and smell acuity, maldigestion (decrease in bile salts or lipase), malabsorption (changes in gut mucosa and its enzymes, altered permeability, changes in motility and possibly gut edema) .
The alcohol plus resveratrol group showed an important decrease in mortality. The mechanisms by which resveratrol reduces alcohol-induced mortality are not clear, though its antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antiinfectious properties may play a role [5–7, 10, 23]. Resveratrol also suppresses the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2, is a potent inhibitor of nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) nuclear translocation by blocking kB kinase activity, and decreases platelet aggregation [24–28]. In our study, one mouse died in the resveratrol group. This death may have been due to aggression between individuals, as this mouse had paw lesions. In another published study involving resveratrol administered orally to mice at doses similar to our own, no increased mortality in the resveratrol group versus the controls was likewise observed .
The chronic consumption of high doses of alcohol can cause liver damage and cirrhosis in humans. However, in animals it is very difficult to establish an experimental model of alcoholic liver disease. Very few such models have been developed, and most do not involve only alcohol, i.e., they also include additional elements such as hypercaloric diets, iron, endotoxins or other toxins. The model closest to reality (animals with free access to food and drink) is that described by Tsukamoto et al. , though it induces alcoholic liver disease by administering a diet rich in polyunsaturated fats and alcohol through a nasogastric tube. Our own model attempts to reproduce situations as close as possibly to reality, i.e., the mice are able to spontaneously eat (standard diet) and drink as much as they want, without the influence of factors that enhance the liver damaging capacity of alcohol. The alcohol concentration in mouse arterial blood was modest, since alcohol consumption was irregular (i.e., free access). This may possibly be the reason why the blood alcohol concentrations and liver lesions in the mice were modest. The alcoholic intoxication model employed, and probably also the action of genetic factors, yields moderate liver damage without either liver fibrosis or cirrhosis – despite the high alcohol concentrations involved. In unpublished studies we found that liver cirrhosis could not be achieved in mice given lower doses of alcohol for longer periods of time (20% of drinking volume for 6 months).
Although cirrhosis could not be induced, the alcohol group showed a moderate increase in transaminase levels, with a greater rise in ALT, as occurs in alcoholic liver disease . These increased laboratory values are not directly correlated to the histological severity of the disease as in humans . The generation of free radicals as a result of alcohol did not correlate with elevated pathology scores in the liver or high ALT levels and acts as redox signals for cytokine production but does not directly damage the liver . Resveratrol decreased the liver laboratory values and the corresponding liver damage – probably as a result of the diminished release of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 as a result of Kupffer cell activation. In this context, over 75% of all individuals with alcoholic hepatitis have increased plasma IL-1 levels [34, 35]. TNF-alfa serum levels have been related to mortality and the severity of the hepatic lesions observed in humans and produced by alcohol intake [35, 36]. However TNF-alfa levels are poor diagnostic markers for the severity of TNF-dependent liver inflammation . Other studies dealing with plasma levels of TNF-alfa and IL-1 in response (LPS), indicate that the TNF-alfa plasma level rises soon after the injection of LPS and that is the reason why it cannot be observed in our study. Otherwise IL-1 remains elevated for a longer period of time. This can be explained by augmented clearance of TNF-alfa not affecting IL-1, a smaller systemic inflammatory response or to neutralization of TNF-alfa by a soluble receptor resulting in a marked attenuation of the late phase of the alcohol action .
Both IL-1 and TNF-alfa are produced after macrophage activation and produce an endothelial activation process leading to an increase of adhesion molecules expression, secretion of other cytokines, growth factors, ecosanoid production, nitric oxide and increased endothelial thrombogenicity. Both cytokines produce fibroblast activation leading to proliferation and augmented extracellular matrix synthesis. IL-1 and TNF-alfa produce stimulation of the acute phase systemic manifestation including somnolence, fever, changes in liver protein synthesis, changes in metabolism (caquexia), PMN migration, ACTH liberation and augmented steroid liberation .
Other effects of resveratrol upon on the liver can be the inhibition of nitric oxide production by the Kupffer cells  and antioxidant action similar to that of other substances such as S-adenosylmethionine .
Resveratrol reduces mortality and liver damage produced by alcohol in mice. If our findings are confirmed by further research, resveratrol could be administered to patients with chronic alcoholism to reduce the mortality and liver damage associated with alcohol abuse. It could even be prophylactically added to alcoholic beverages, in a way similar (10 mg/L of any alcoholic beverage), similar to how chlorine is added to water to prevent infections.

Three translations of book challenging dubious claims on Persian Gulf introduced
TEHRAN –(Iranart)- Arabic, Turkish and French translations of the Persian book "A Fuss over Nothing" that debunks dubious claims about the Persian Gulf were introduced in an online session held on Monday.
The session was organized by the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO) in Tehran.
Iranian scholar Mohammad-Ali Movahhed wrote the book in response to the book "Dispute between the UAE and Iran over the Islands: Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunb; British Documents" authored by Iraqi writer Walid Hamdi al-Aazami in 2013.
The Arabic edition of "A Fuss over Nothing" has been rendered by Sadiq Khursha, a professional translator of Persian books.
It has been translated into French by Mithra Farzad, an Iranian scholar teaching at the University of Paris-Sud. The London-based company Candle and Fog is the publisher of the book.
The Turkish edition published by the Istanbul-based publisher Demavend has been translated by Professor Nimet Yildirim of Ataturk University in Turkey.
"I'm really happy that translations of my book into three great languages of the world are being unveiled," Movahhed said.
"I wrote this book years ago shortly after Walid Hamdi's book was released. I first planned to author only an article, however, when I put the pen on paper it went its own way and the article turned into a book," he added.
Speaking at the meeting, ICRO director Abuzar Ebrahimi-Torkaman said that Hamdi al-Aazami did not possess sufficient expertise to write the book, and added that the historical documents cited in his book have been distorted.
"In a research project, experts can discuss the documents and comment about them, but, they are not allowed to manipulate the information," he noted.
Ebrahimi-Torkaman called Movahhed's decision to write the book "a good example of a patriotic defense of Iranians' rights," and said, "Those states that seek to change the name of the Persian Gulf or make claims about Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunb, know the truth better than the others, but they want to close their eyes to the truth, which has been scientifically exposed in Movahhed's book."

The official quality marks PDO and PGI are reserved for traditional products with regional rooting. After registration with the Federal Office for Agriculture the protected designation can be used exclusively for products that fulfill the origin, processing and quality requirements stipulated in the specifications. Independent certification bodies carry out individual inspections to verify their criteria compliance .
The protected designation of origin (PDO/AOP, Appellation d'Origine Protégée) provides the guarantee that the quality products are produced, processed and prepared in the area of origin. For example, the milk used to manufacture a particular cheese comes from a clearly defined region and the cheese will be processed and cared for there until it has reached ripeness.
The protected geographical indication (PGI), also serves to distinguish tradition and typical specialities from a clearly defined area. A product must have been either manufactured, processed or prepared in the area of origin.
For example, meat intended for the manufacture of an IGP sausage can also come from animals which were bred outside the region.
Both PDO and PGI products bear the name of the region from which they originate in their designation. It is therefore important that the designation is only used for products which meet the following three requirements :
Origin and terroir
"Origin" and "Terroir" are fundamental terms in the PDO and PGI context.
The origin (or the source) of the product is guaranteed. The terroir gives the PDO and PGI their uniqueness (typicality).
The products are linked to the region from which they have their name.
Link to Terroir and Tradition
Through the characteristics and traditions of the region, the products are also influenced by the terroir.
Traditional production methods
The PDO and PGI products are produced according to traditional manufacture methods which guarantee the influence of the terroir on the product.
Only when a product meets these three requirements, it can benefit from the PDO or PGI protection.
The PDO and the PGI are reserved for products originating from a traditional region of production. The link between the product and the terroir is more distinct in the case of PDO as all manufacture stages must take place within the area. In the case of IGP, only one stage has to take place within the area (for example the processing of the raw material).
PDO as well as PGI are two official quality marks which consumers can rely on.
A guarantee of origin
In the centre of the labeling policies practised in more and more European countries for agricultural products and food is the reference to the origin (source). This policy gained acceptance at the beginning, especially in South Europe and in France. Meanwhile, however, also the other European countries are showing increasing interest in the designation of authentic regional products having a link to their terroir. The registration of protected designations of origin and geographical indications in the case of agricultural products and food were established by law in the European Union by the Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992. The creation of a legal basis followed in Switzerland with the PDO/PGI Decree of 28th May 1997.
PDO and PGI are not the only labels for products having a link to the region of origin. In addition to these, numerous regional labels or countrywide marks of origin exist. PDO and PGI are, however, the only official and state regulated marks of origin.
The importance of origin for consumers
A protected designation of origin or geographical indication is an exclusive characteristic as it cannot be imitated. It represents an important purchase argument to the consumers. In order to give a sense to the designation of origin it also has to correspond to a consumer need.
Need for orientation, seasonal and regional rooting
The origin (the source) offers an orientation aid which provides a kind of security, an identity, a link to our ancestors. Authentic products with a guaranteed origin remain anchors in an increasingly globalised world.
Need for security
Scandals in the food sector have startled the consumers. The demands on what is on your plate have increased. The consumers want to feel the great confidence which products with a known origin can offer.
The need to be different
When buying products with a designation of origin the consumer sets an example against trivialised standard and mass products, pasteurizing and hygiene mania. The uniqueness brings the consumer on the taste. By consuming certain products, he sets himself apart from the uniformity, living out his individuality.
The necessity to define the origin
The origin of a product should not limit itself to its geographical origin but also contain manufacture regulations which take the link between the product and the terroir, as well as traditional Know-how into account.
The Terroir and its particular characteristics
Each PDO or PGI product must prove its link to the terroir. The PDO and PGI have to present specific characteristics marked by their geographical origin. How can the link to the terroir be explained? How does it appear?
The terroir is not determined only by climatic, topographic and agricultural influences, but also by the people, their know-how and traditions. The totality of these natural and human influences gives the product its character, quality and uniqueness. Passed on from one generation to the next they give to a PDO or a PGI its importance for the cultural heritage and in the history of a region.
When the historical and cultural background of a product is known, one also understands why it belongs to a specific area. If meat in Wallis is dried instead of smoked, it is due to the particular wind which blows through the Wallis valleys and has made people use this technique. When a big cheese loaf is made this can be traced back to the fact that the cow herders, from the very beginning, always have processed the milk from several herds. The reason why almost all PGI sausages are produced from pork resides in the fact the "Schotte" from the cheese dairies was used in the pig feed.
If you keep the natural and social circumstances in mind which have contributed to the creation of the PDO or PGI products, you become aware of their value. To define the specifications for a PDO or PGI product means to maintain its uniqueness and pass on the cultural heritage of our ancestors.
AOP and IGP refer to products that are manufactured in their area of origin in Switzerland using traditional methods and while maintaining the authentic taste.

As a private sector sports performance coach, talking with parents is a daily part of the job. It kicks off with the parent talking about their athlete, the strengths and weaknesses that they notice, and what they want to see worked on during training. Understanding that every parent wants the best for their kids, it is our job to give them a sense of comfort that our facility will be the best fit for them to develop into the star athlete they were born to be.
Whatever sport they play, parents are continuously asking for sports specific training, but what does that really even mean? I wanted to talk about what people think "sports specific training" means, and what I feel like it should actually entail. I believe that it is important for strength and conditioning coaches to adapt an "athlete specific" ideology, rather than the sports specific mindset that is portrayed all over.
Working with a younger generation of athletes who are so focused on one single sport instead of developing into multi-sport athletes, we are hitting an epidemic of sport specific injuries. Parents are getting lost in the importance of "off-season training" and the addition of off-season sports camps/practices are becoming more and more common. It's called off-season for a reason.
As a result, we are seeing more and more injuries specific to the sports that they play. Soccer/basketball athlete's tearing their ACLs, and baseball/softball athlete's with rotator cuff issues.
As strength and conditioning coaches, we need to educate athletes and parents that it is important to put down the ball, stick, or glove every once in a while and focus on developing some of the crucial skill sets that are required of athletes who want to play at the next level. We need to teach these athletes proper movement patterns during movement, and improve foundational strength and proper technique in the weight room. The process needs to be slowed down and "slow-cooked" to ensure proper development.
What does sports specific training mean to The Athlete?
Honestly, the youth generation is going to be impacted by what they see on social media, whether we like it or not. Whichever coach/trainer has the most views and likes on Instagram, they are going to produce the next 'best' drill set to do. Dribbling a basketball through some agility hurdles, driving to the hoop and doing 5 pushups after a missed layup. Implementing agility and speed components, as well as a strength exercise at the end, they are covering all aspects of training within one drill… BRILLIANT. (insert eye roll). Athletes are misguided. It is our job to educate them on the importance of training off the court/field and teach them proper techniques.
What does sports specific mean to The Parent?
Parents want their kids doing the hardest, most progressed movements possible for any athlete that plays the same sport. Let's take LeBron James performing repeat jumps on a vertimax system, for example. This drill looks great when one of the best athletes in the world performs it. But what happens when you attach a 14 year old on the same vertimax and he/she tries to perform the same drill that LeBron did?… Recipe for disaster. Most parents won't understand and this is when you ask them politely to wait in the lobby until the session is over. They'll understand. If they don't, they wouldn't have hired you.
What does sports specific mean to The Sports Coach?
I don't want to categorize all "sports coaches" in the same group, because I have seen the good and the bad. Most sports coaches just want results as fast as possible. Week 1, Day 1 of training and they want Box Depth Drops into Repeat Hurdle Jumps into a Full Court Sprint with a layup at the end. No mechanics, no progressions/regressions, just making them sweat and work hard, hoping they are still ready to perform at a high level for the next game, which is probably tomorrow. (insert head shake). Most Sports coaches are just focused on keeping everyone busy and working hard. If you have ever read Joel Jamieson's Ultimate MMA Conditioning, you know that he proves that it's not about how much work you do, but instead that the work has a purpose.
What does sports specific mean to The Strength Coach?
Here's the good stuff… when considering sport specific vs. athlete specific, 'sport specific' is the wrong word to use. Plain and Simple.
The word needs to be ATHLETE specific. When I refer to my professional title, I say Sports Performance Coach or Strength & Conditioning Coach. There is no Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Lacrosse, etc. within my title, nor should there be.
My job is to train the athletes to have better running mechanics, better jumping/landing mechanics, and to develop strength/power in the weight room, all without using any sports equipment. If an athlete becomes faster, stronger, and more efficient on the field, they are without a doubt going to become a better athlete. Our goal is to help the athlete prepare for their sport, not to replicate it.
Now, every good business model is developed to attract clients and in turn, maintain those same clients by keeping them happy. So how can we keep the athlete's engaged, keep the parents happy, and stay true to this "strength and conditioning coach" title that we own? How can we incorporate athlete specific training and relate it to specific athletes? The past few off-season's I have had the pleasure of training some professional athletes who have widely different roles when it comes to what they're expected to do on the field.
A couple ways that I have found to be able to create a specificity to sport is to relate the drills to distances and directions on a field. For example, when training an athlete who plays baseball, any linear speed drill could be done with a distance of 90ft. The distance between bases is 90ft on a baseball diamond, so by simply matching up that distance, it brings a sense of comfort to the athlete performing the drill.
To compare with another sport, when training a football athlete who plays defensive line, I would not have him do linear speed drills for 90 ft, simply because it does not match up with his needs. Instead, performing short bursts of acceleration and technique in the 3-point stance trumps importance. At the end of the day, both athletes are working linear speed, however the distances and starting positions are now "specific" to their sport.
While certain sports possess specific skills that make one player more "athletic" than another (i.e Vertical Jump for Basketball), each of these skills can and will make an athlete better. If you jump higher, you will be better able to out rebound in basketball, reach a header in soccer, catch a ball in football. If you run faster, you will be able to get to a ball before the opponent, create separation downfield, or track a ball over your head.
This is why it is crucial for us as strength and conditioning coaches to stay true to our job title. Yes, there are coaches out there who do skills training, and they do a very good job. Pairing the two training styles may work great for some athletes, but it is so important to develop simple movement patterns and foundational strength before asking them to perform advanced movements. As a strength and conditioning coach, my job is to make these athletes more athletic, which in turn will make them better at their sports.

Its front dashboard is wide with the LED instrument cluster blending across a large screen for optimum connectivity. The steering wheel also has screen, and is retractable for full autonomous driving.
Up front, it has a pronounced three-dimensional badge on a closed front fascia. Headlamps are intentionally concise. From the side, aerodynamic, muscular surfaces draw together in a visually strong rear end.
The company also announced that by 2021, the full Infiniti product portfolio will be electric, either by battery-electric, or as a hybrid electric variant.


To accompany the exhibition Madame Recamier, which we reviewed on this site, the Musee de Lyon had decided to show graphic works produced between 1790 and 1850.
The Musée d'Orsay has just benefited from a donation made by Wildenstein & Co., Inc. of two paintings, one by Jean-Fançois Raffaëlli, the other by Edmond Aman-Jean.
The fear was that after the offices of the Inventaire général were scattered the journal In Situ, which appears only online, would stop publishing.
An important painting by Laurent de La Hyre reappeared in an auction at Sotheby's Paris last 24 June.

SAP is Google Cloud's secret weapon in Southeast Asia
Key wins in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore

A deepened alliance with SAP has been cited as a leading factor in increased Google Cloud adoption in Southeast Asia, with global system integrators (GSIs) leading the charge.
That's the view of Tim Synan - regional director of Southeast Asia at Google Cloud - when assessing the technology giant's market credentials across the region.
"We're excited about the work we're doing with SAP in Southeast Asia," said Synan, speaking to Channel Asia ahead of Google Cloud Summit in Singapore. "Particularly, we're seeing large GSIs such as Accenture and Deloitte report significant, multi-year wins through SAP and Google Cloud.
"These wins include manufacturers in Thailand and Indonesia, organisations in Malaysia and a recent win in Singapore."
Whether shifting SAP applications to the cloud, integrating machine learning into business processes or enhancing enterprise data capabilities, SAP applications and SAP HANA are certified to run on Google Cloud.
Key SAP products include Hana, S/4 Hana, BW/4 Hana and Business Suite, in addition to Hybris, Business Warehouse, BusinessObjects BI and Business One among others.
According to Synan, the expanded partnership with the software vendor has kick-started a wave of Google Cloud deployments in Southeast Asia, driven by specialised partners such as Accenture and Deloitte.
"To be transparent, this adoption wasn't really happening to the extent it is now 24 months ago," he acknowledged. "A lot of the investments we have made in terms of infrastructure, product innovations and our go-to-market strategy - which started under Diane Greene - has been executed well.
"With Thomas Kurian, this has now allowed us to make further inroads into the enterprise market."

Kurian was appointed in November 2018, succeeding Greene as the CEO of Google Cloud, in a bid to increase credibility at enterprise level.
"We're starting to see an acceleration of our enterprise business across Southeast Asia, given some of the changes we've made in terms of our go-to-market orientation," Synan added.
Google Cloud - which is rumoured to be eyeing up a bid for Nutanix - goes to market across six core verticals, spanning finance services and insurance; retail; communications, media and entertainment (including telecommunications and service providers); manufacturing and logistics; public sector and healthcare.
"We've also segmented our customers in different ways, through enterprise and non-enterprise," Synan explained. "Our entire team is focused on these verticals across Southeast Asia.

"As a result of our innovation from a product perspective - such as Anthos for example - we're seeing wins in telecommunications, banking and e-commerce. They are leveraging Anthos as part of their multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies."
As reported by Channel Asia, Google Cloud announced the general availability of Anthos in April 2019, a platform that allows customers to run applications on-premise, in the Google Cloud and, crucially, with other major public cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.
Speaking at the time during Google Cloud Next in San Francisco, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the idea behind Anthos is to "write once and run anywhere".
"It gives you the flexibility to move on-prem apps to the cloud when you are ready, and it allows you to keep using the technologies you are already using, while improving security," he said.

"Today most of the world's enterprise computing still happens on-premise. It hasn't moved to the cloud yet because the path forward is complex and daunting, full of difficult decisions."
Impact of cloud
According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) findings, public cloud deployments are expected to have a "significant economic impact" on the key markets of Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea during the next five years.
The study - commissioned by Google Cloud and involving more than 1000 IT decision makers in Asia Pacific - expects public cloud to impact around US$450 billion cumulatively between 2019 and 2023 across the six markets.

Within this, business efficiencies and growth generated through increased deployment is forecast to help in the creation of nearly 425,000 direct jobs, alongside impacting another 1.2 million jobs indirectly during the period.
Specific to Singapore, public cloud deployment can contribute roughly $30 billion to the country's GDP, which is the equivalent of 1.7 per cent of the national GDP annually.
The city-state is also forecast to see the creation of nearly 22,000 jobs - and impact another 21,000 jobs through second order effects - through the deployment of public cloud.
Of the 22,000 direct jobs, the study stated that around 8000 will be in digital and technology-related roles such as data scientists, product managers, engineering, design, user experience and infrastructure management jobs with cloud service providers, IT service providers and across industry verticals. This is close to 3.5 per cent of the country's current ICT workforce.

According to findings, another 14,000 direct roles will be related to core business functions (marketing, finance, operations etc) across industry verticals in Singapore.

Struggling with credit card interest? Talk to Killarney Credit Union.
More than half of adults in Ireland own a credit card. A substantial six in ten however don't know what interest rate they pay. This is despite the fact that most credit card owners use their plastic extremely frequently. The majority of adults tend to use their cards every month for ad hoc spending, rather than for one-off purchases throughout the year. The findings were revealed in a new, national survey commissioned by the Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU).
Close to three quarters of adults in the survey felt that credit card companies don't do enough to explain how interest rates work. More than two thirds agreed that the general public lacks understanding of how credit card interest works. It's understandable then that many don't know where to turn when they can't figure out why the interest continues to mount on each credit card bill.
In addition, Killarney Credit Union also offers a debt consolidation loan. The product aims to help members refinance high interest debts – and combine all of their debt into a single, straightforward payment at a fair and reasonable rate. A restructured payment like this can ease the pressure and make it easier for people to get on top of their debt and manage it in a way that suits their everyday lives.
