The value of Holocaust memoirs
I have just finished reading yet another diatribe by a post-Zionist Israeli academic promoting the theme that the Holocaust was exploited by Zionists to create a Jewish state at the expense of the indigenous Arab inhabitants. To this day, goes the argument, the Shoah remains the vehicle by which the Palestinian Arabs are dehumanized in order to maintain the "occupation."
It is yet another recycling of the distorted Palestinian narrative that is increasingly being promoted by a growing stream of pro-Palestinian scholars, many of them of Jewish origin.
Such distorted "scholarship" highlights the need to ensure that young people gain a more personal appreciation of this terrible chapter in our history than the cold statistics of genocide and Holocaust studies convey.
Educational trips for youngsters to death camps have had a positive impact. But the increasingly limited number of survivors still able to personally testify is making memoirs of survivors the prime vehicle for conveying the human aspect of the unbearable suffering individual Jews underwent.
There are thousands of memoirs. Classics like those by Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi stand alone and should be incorporated into the curriculum of every Jewish and Israeli high school. But there are others which, in addition to conveying the horror of the Shoah, also depict the vibrant Jewish life of communities that preceded the Nazi conquest of Europe, and more importantly, display the extraordinary triumph of the spirit by which survivors managed to renew their shattered lives and assume leading roles in the post-war Jewish revival.
These memoirs have a special educational relevance for our generation. Anti-Semitism is again rampant, and with so many Jews taking the existence of Israel for granted it is important for youngsters to appreciate the impact of powerlessness on our people before the Jewish state was created.
The memoir by Hadassah Rosensaft entitled Yesterday: My Story, with an introduction by Elie Wiesel, published by the Holocaust Survivors Memoirs Project and Yad Vashem, fits into this category.
Reading Yesterday in the context of the challenges now facing the Jewish people is an uplifting experience. In the opening chapters Rosensaft, clearly a charismatic, cultured and articulate woman, describes the warm Jewish roots she inherited from her hassidic parents in Sosnowiec, a town in southwest Poland where she lived prior to her university studies in France.
With the occupation, the process of dehumanization began, as did the plunder of Jewish property, burning of synagogues, and killings. She describes how her Gentile neighbors initially applauded the Nazi persecution of Jews.
The deportations commenced in August 1942, when, in the course of one week, the entire Jewish community was assembled in the sports arena and one-third deported to Auschwitz.
The remainder became slave laborers for the Nazis until a year later, when they too were deported.
SHE GRAPHICALLY describes her arrival in Auschwitz, where her husband, five-year-old son, and the bulk of her family were separated from her and gassed. She depicts in riveting detail the survival, horrors, heroism and resistance which prevailed in a surrealistic, nightmare world which can be appreciated only by those who experienced these horrors personally.
The experiences include her involvement in Bergen-Belsen with the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele and his inhuman experiments on inmates. But the most dramatic saga in the life of this courageous woman was how she managed to keep 149 Bergen-Belsen children alive until their liberation, and then brought them to Eretz Yisrael.
She narrates how she subsequently met and ultimately married her second husband, Yossel, whose spouse and daughters had also been murdered by the Nazis. He was elected as the leader of the survivors in the DP camp, and he initiated Zionist activities and promoted the rights of survivors.
Rosensaft describes events after the liberation like the cold and callous treatment of displaced persons by British bureaucrats and army officers; how her husband succeeded in commuting death sentences imposed by the British on Irgun activists; her testimony in the Belsen trials, the first major Allied prosecution of Nazi war criminals; her association with World Jewish Congress leaders, including secretary-general Gerhard Reigner, and the important contributions made by her and her husband within the global Jewish community.
They were both honored by being appointed foundation members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. She died in New York in 1997.
HER SON Menachem, the driving force behind the Holocaust Memoirs Project, was born in 1948 in the DP camp of Bergen-Belsen. He became the founding chairman of the International Network of Children of Holocaust Survivors; a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council (1994-2000); was a former president of the Labor Zionist Alliance; and is now president of the Park Avenue synagogue in New York.
Rosensaft's memoirs remind us that despite the burgeoning growth of anti-Semitism and renewed threats and frustrations facing Israel today we remain the most fortunate generation in 2,000 years of Jewish history.
Hadassah Rosensaft's fellow Jews in Auschwitz could never remotely have dreamt that the Jewish people would rise, phoenix-like, from its ashes and emerge as a free and independent nation capable of defending itself.
Our success today is in no small part due to survivors like the Rosensafts, who, in the face of the most unspeakable evil, refused to give up.

Wireless Charging and Waterproofing Coming to Next-iPhone, Confirms Apple Supplier
June 15, 2017 pieiet iOS, Phones 0
Apple is widely expected to launch three different iPhone models this year. Two of these new iPhone models are going to be the iterative 's' upgrade called iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus while the third model is said to be the 10th-anniversary edition called iPhone 8.
Lately, the rumors mill has gone quiet regarding the next generation iPhone models probably due to the EEDC event where Apple launch new iPad and an all-new iOS 11. Now that WWDC is long gone, one of Apple supplier has come out to confirm a couple of features meant to make their way into the upcoming iPhones.
According to a new report from Nikkie, Wistron – an Apple supplier, has confirmed that at least one of these three new iPhone models is going to have waterproofing and wireless charging feature.
Assembly process for the previous generations of [iPhones] have not changed much, though new features like waterproof and wireless charging now require some different testing, and waterproof function will alter the assembly process a bit," Hwang told reporters after the company's annual shareholders' meeting on Wednesday.
The report, however, fails to pinpoint the device that's meant to get these two new features in an iPhone.The iPhone 7s will probably get better waterproofing and perhaps will also get the wireless charging feature as well. However, the speculations remain doubtful whether the iPhone 7s will get these upgrades of not. Given the fact that the current iPhone 7 is splash and water resistant, Apple will probably improve it as well in this regard with next iteration.
As far as the iPhone 8 is concerned, like many previous rumors claimed, it is highly likely to get both of these new features. Apple has fallen way behind its competitors when it comes to launching an IP68-rated flagship phone

Малахитовый зелёный (тетраметил-4,4-диаминотрифенилметан) (синонимы: бензоилгрюн, малахитгрюн) — синтетический диаминотрифенилметановый краситель. Его нередко путают с близким по строению веществом — бриллиантовым зелёным (тетраэтил-4,4-диаминотрифенилметан).

Синтез
Малахитовый зелёный синтезируют конденсацией N,N-диметиланилина с бензальдегидом в кислой среде либо под действием кислот Льюиса (хлорид цинка), при этом образуется лейкооснование красителя, которое затем окисляют до трифенилкарбинола, дегидратирующегося в кислой среде с образованием катиона малахитового зелёного:

Физические и химические свойства
Тёмно-зелёные кристаллы с металлическим блеском, хорошо растворим в воде и этаноле.

Является кислотно-основным индикатором: в водных растворах в сильнокислой среде имеет жёлтую окраску, при рН 0,1-2,0 окраска переходит в сине-зелёную, в сильнощелочной среде при рН выше 11,6-13,6 обесцвечивается из-за присоединения гидроксила с образованием трифенилкарбинола.

Применение
 в микроскопии для прижизненной окраски клеточных ядер;
 для окраски эритроцитов, яиц аскарид;
 как лекарственное средство в ветеринарии — в частности, при лечении аквариумных рыб от инфекционных заболеваний.

Norway Helicopter Crash: Two Confirmed Dead
by Nadarajah Sethurupan	| @ | February 18, 2019 12:27 pm
Western Norway Emergency Services and Police on Monday announced Two People have been found dead after a helicopter crashed into a mountainside.
The civilian helicopter was reported missing on Sunday, triggering a search and rescue operation led by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre for southern Norway.
The two people on board were a man and woman, both in their 40s, from the western county of Rogaland, public broadcaster NRK reported.
The terrain where the bodies were recovered was challenging and visibility was poor, the emergency services said.
"There were no signs of an attempted emergency landing,'' Johan Mannsaker of the rescue centre told local daily newspaper, Bergensavisen.
The helicopter was a Robinson 44.
The planned flight was from a ski centre at Roldal to Karmoy, just north-west of the city of Stavanger.
The helicopter took off about 3.20 p.m. (1420 GMT).
The crash site was located about 2.5 kilometres north of Roldal.
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear.
Police have launched an accident investigation and inspectors from the national accident investigation board were also heading to the scene.
Initial reports said the helicopter's emergency beacon was not activated.
The emergency services tried to trace a mobile phone linked to one of the passengers and were aided by a tracking device installed in the helicopter by a former owner, Mannsaker said.

I made this vector in nearly one hour. It is my first finished vector and it wasn't difficult like people told me. It was very simple.I like this image of Gon. I will do more vectors.
However, for your next vector, I think you should try to get some variation in the thickness of the lines. It loos like you might have just used path stroke for thelines here since they're all the same width, which makes it a little boring to look at and not to mention unnatural looking.

Gen. Tom Lawson takes over as Canada's chief of defence staff
By Bruce Campion-SmithOttawa Bureau Chief
OTTAWA—Prime Minister Stephen Harper has put the new head of Canada's military on notice that he expects big changes to make the defence department leaner and cheaper.
Gen. Tom Lawson took over Monday as the new chief of defence staff from Gen. Walt Natynczyk, who is retiring after four years in the military's top job.
Harper pointedly used the change of command ceremony — with the military's senior leadership in attendance — to warn that the defence department is facing the same belt-tightening that is forcing cutbacks in other departments.
"The forces will also be subject to the same pressures that the uncertainties of the global economy impose across our government," Harper said.
"The forces must be restructured to ensure administrative burdens are reduced and resources freed up for the frontline," said Harper, who is reportedly unhappy with the pace of savings in the military.
Calling for "more teeth and less tail," Harper said the goal is a "modern, general purpose" military that must be equally adept at providing disaster relief as well as delivering lethal force.
"The lessons learned and capabilities developed in Afghanistan must be retained for future missions as yet unknown," he said.
Speaking later to reporters, Lawson hinted at the challenge that confronts him, saying, "there is very little fat" in the military.
"What we need to do now is continue to hold on to as many capabilities as we can," he said. "We are in a period of tighter funds, as are all the departments. We have to play our part. It's going to require us to look hard for new ways of doing things."
Pressed for specifics, Lawson said, "that's all in the future."
However, he did suggest that some of the equipment purchases outlined in the Conservatives' Canada First Defence Strategy could be scaled back to save funds.
"We'll have to look at all of those options," said Lawson, a former fighter pilot who most recently was deputy commander of the North American Aerospace Defence Command.
He did rule out shrinking the ranks of the armed forces, saying that kind of decision would rest with government.
In his departing comments, Natynczyk said the forces will "always be challenged" by budgets but said investments are vital to keep the military battle-ready.
"The message here is we need to continue to invest in our folks and our modern equipment so we're ready for that uncertain future," he said.
Gov.-Gen. David Johnston, who also serves as commander-in-chief, presided over the ceremony at the Canadian War Museum that saw Lawson promoted to full general from lieutenant-general and formally handed the task of heading the country's fighting forces.
The event featured a vice-regal salute, a 21-gun salute and military pomp and circumstance. But it was far more low-key event than the display that sent Natynczyk's predecessor, Gen. Rick Hillier, into retirement in 2008.
Natynczyk got a standing ovation as he took the podium for his final speech as the top general. But he turned the praise back on the men and women who served under him, saying their courage and service at home and abroad has made a difference in the lives of Canadians.
He said the defence of Canada started "10,000 kilometres away" on the front lines in southern Afghanistan, where Canadian troops turned back the Taliban.
"Today, our forces are better for their combat experience," he said.
"Our special forces, they're just plain outstanding . . . . And I can't say any more about them," he said to laughter.
At home, he noted Canadian troops have helped evacuate Canadians from forest fires and floods and save lives through search-and-rescue missions.
"My duty is complete. The nation is secure, and it's time to hand over responsibilities to a great officer," he said.
Johnston highlighted the dedication of Natynczyk and his wife, Leslie, to the men and women in uniform.
"General, in your many speeches to the brave, to the ill and injured, to the medal recipients and to their families, I would often hear you say, 'I'm proud to be your chief of defence staff,' " Johnston told the crowd. "To both you and Leslie, I offer my deepest thanks for your service to Canada."
Lawson comes to the military's top job from the air force. A graduate of the Royal Military College of Canada, he went on to fly CF-104 Starfighter jets in Europe and, later, CF-18 Hornets. He has held a variety of staff jobs, including wing commander of CFB Trenton and commandant of the Royal Military College.

You are here: Home / Thanksgiving Trivia Questions
Here's our list of Thanksgiving trivia questions. Most of them are quite challenging and I would be shocked if you didn't learn something new about Thanksgiving after going through this list.
Before we start though, there are many countries and cultures that have a Thanksgiving holiday or celebrations based around giving thanks. And I do have some Thanksgiving trivia questions for other countries, but this page is mostly about Thanksgiving in America.
We've also got printable PDF Thanksgiving trivia sheets. At the bottom of the page are separate PDFs for Thanksgiving trivia questions, answers, and one with both. So scroll on down if you are interested!
If prefer videos instead of text, here is a video of our top 10 Thanksgiving trivia questions:
History of Thanksgiving trivia questions
1. What year was the celebration that is most commonly considered to be the first Thanksgiving?
This is the celebration that people most often talk about when they are talking about the "first" Thanksgiving. But there are others that are claimed to be the first Thanksgiving. There was another celebration in Plymouth in 1623 and one in Boston in 1631 that people claim was the actual first Thanksgiving. In reality there were lots of Thanksgiving celebrations in North America before 1621 as well, because days of Thanksgiving were often celebrated after good events that were deemed to have the hand of God behind them.
2. How long did the first Thanksgiving celebration last?
It was celebrated much earlier than our current celebration, possibly in late September. There were about 50 European settlers and around 90 native Americans who attended the 3-day feast.
3. When the religious group that would later be known as the Pilgrims left England to practice their religion freely, where did they go?
Leiden, Holland
Unlike the Puritans, the Pilgrims believed that they couldn't practice their religion within the English state church. This led to fines and sometimes imprisonment. To escape persecution, they fled to Leiden, Holland. But they had a hard time fitting in and finding jobs because they didn't want to assimilate into the local culture. They were also worried about their children being influenced by the culture they were living in. So they secured investors and made their journey to found a colony in New England.
4. Under which president did Thanksgiving become an annual holiday?
As a nation, the US has celebrated Thanksgiving off and on since 1774. In 1789 George Washington made a proclamation that the American people should celebrate a day of thanksgiving to God on November 26th. Some presidents after him continued the tradition, sporadically declaring days of Thanksgiving. But it wasn't until 1863 with Lincoln proclaiming a day of Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November that it became an annual holiday. Every year after that Presidents proclaimed the last Thursday of November to be a day of Thanksgiving. It was changed to be the fourth Thursday in under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Thanksgiving parades trivia
5. In what decade did both the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and America's Thanksgiving Parade start?
The 1920's (specifically 1924)
America's Thanksgiving Parade was inspired by Eaton's Santa Claus Parade in Toronto, Ontario and the papier-mache heads that he saw on a trip to Europe. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was started by Louis Bamberger in Newark, New Jersey but was transferred to New York City where it is now held by Macy's.
6. How do both Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and America's Thanksgiving Parade conclude?
With the arrival of Santa Claus
In America's Thanksgiving Parade this usually features Santa receiving the key to the city from the Mayor of Detroit. This is supposed to herald in the Christmas season, but as we all know it's been creeping earlier and earlier each year.
7. What is the oldest Thanksgiving parade currently called?
6abc Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade
Catchy huh? It was started in 1920 and originally called the Gimbels Thanksgiving Day Parade until the Gimbels department stores closed down. WPVI a.k.a Channel 6 a.k.a abc6 as well as several companies have sponsored the parade since Gimbels went out of business.
Turkey trivia questions
8. Which president was the first to give a turkey a presidential pardon?
John F. Kennedy was the first president on record for unofficially sparing a Turkey in 1963. But it wasn't until the Reagan administration in 1987 that a turkey was given an official presidential pardon as a joke. Despite it being a joke, the turkey was spared and put into a petting zoo. In 1989 George H. Bush made it an annual tradition and each president following him has carried on the tradition.
9. What are turkey chicks called?
Pults or turkeylings
Let me just say, turkeylings is an amazing name for baby turkeys. Female turkeys are called hens, and males are called toms in the US or stags in Europe.
10. What is the wobbly red piece of flesh on top of the beak of a turkey?
A snood
The red bit of flesh under the beak is called a wattle. We are definitely not helping the turkey's reputation as a silly animal with all these names.
11. What are most turkey feathers used for after the turkey is plucked?
Feathers from birds like turkeys and chickens are ground up and used as protein in animal feed. Feathers are made up of keratin which ruminant animals, such as cows, are able to digest.
12. What state raises the most turkeys?
With 41 million turkeys raised in 2015 Minnesota tops the chart for turkey production. Next up is North Carolina with 31 million turkeys raised. Then Arkansas coming in third with 27.5 million turkeys.
Thanksgiving food trivia questions
13. What meat did the native Americans bring to the first Thanksgiving?
Deer (venison)
After they arrived, some of the Native Americans went out hunting and brought back five deer to give to the governor, the captain, and others.
14. What food was present at the first Thanksgiving but is rarely eaten at Thanksgiving now?
Because Plymouth Colony relied heavily on fishing there was plenty of seafood at the first Thanksgiving. In his journal titled Of Plymouth Plantation the leader of the Plymouth Colony William Bradford had this to say about the harvest before the first Thanksgiving: "For as some were thus employed in affairs abroad, others were exercised in fishing, about cod and bass and other fish, of which they took good store, of which every family had their portion."
15. What decade was the green bean casserole, a Thanksgiving staple in many households, first created?
1950s (Specifically 1955)
The green bean casserole was created by the Campbell Soup Company and more specifically by Dorcas Reilly.
16. In what century were the first pumpkin pies as we know them made?
The 17th century (1600s)
Although the pumpkin is native to North America, the pumpkin pie was actually first made in England and Europe. It wasn't until the 19th century that pumpkin pies as we know them started showing up in American cookbooks.
17. What culture produced the idea of the cornucopia, the horn of plenty?
The cornucopia is very prevalent in Greek mythology. With one origin story having baby Zeus breaking off a horn from a divine goat that was suckling him. Another origin story has Heracles ripping off the horn of a river god named Achelous. The cornucopia then became associated with several Greek and Roman deities.
Thanksgiving and harvest festival traditions around the world
18. Thanksgiving in the USA is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, but when is Canada's Thanksgiving?
The second Monday of October
Canadian Thanksgiving shares many aspects of American Thanksgiving, right down to the turkey. Canadian Thanksgiving can trace its beginning back to either 1578 and Martin Frobisher who gave thanks to God for surviving the trip from England or to the late 1600s and Samuel De Champlain with his fellow French settlers who gave thanks for a successful crop.
19. During Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving / harvest festival, they traditionally eat a stuffed food but it isn't a turkey. What food do Koreans stuff and eat during Chuseok?
Rice cakes (songpyeon)
Rice is ground down into a flour and then water is added to make a rice dough. Then that dough is stuffed with lots of different types of ingredients and formed into small rice cakes which then are steamed over pine needles.
Image source and more info at the Songpyeon page on Wikipedia
20. Where is the only place in Australia where Thanksgiving is celebrated?
The custom was brought there by American whaling ships and it just kind of stuck. The rest of Australia doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving.
21. Who do children in Japan give drawings to on Labor Thanksgiving Day?
Labor Thanksgiving Day was established in 1948, after World War II, to celebrate hard work and giving thanks to each other. But it's roots are much older. It comes from the harvest festival known as Niiname-sai which dates back at least to the 7th century and possibly much earlier.

Today is a "Bad Weather Make-Up Day" for my kiddos and since we had NO SNOW DAYS they're out of school today. We're sleeping in and having a lazy morning.
In typical Friday fashion I'm joining my girls, Narci and Andrea, to bring you some FAVORITES this Friday!
First up, if you see my mama today please wish her a HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY! My mom is so selfless, hard working, such a servant, and loves us so well. Tab and I would never be able to getaway solo if it wasn't for her. She makes leaving for a trip so very easy. My kiddos all adore her-probably because she spoils them rotten. That's what Grandmas do, right? ;) We love you, Mom, and are so so thankful for you! Hope you have the BEST day!
Tab and I got back on Wednesday from our San Diego getaway! I have a full recap coming Monday and Tuesday but I got lots of questions about an outfit so I'm sharing what I packed. Just in case you're like me and in the market for some new spring items!
And let's talk about that VIEW!!!
These are the earrings I packed. Give me ALL THE SPRING colors!
And these are a few of the outfits I wore on the trip.
This white eyelet top is on sale and when you add it to your cart, it's an additional 40% off! GREAT deal! I'm wearing a 6.
You know us McKinney girls love our town...a FAVORITE always! :) One of my girlfriends, Lauren, is the editor of McKinney's online magazine, The Art of Living Beautifully. Great news...they just started printing the publication and it is absolutely gorgeous! This picture does not do it justice. If you're local or would like to keep up with McKinney happenings, check it out! You'll absolutely love, Lauren, and I hope you love learning more about our town.
Another FAVORITE? Getting pictures like this from friends when I'm out of town. Can you tell Bowen was enjoying himself at a friend's birthday party?
We have a busy weekend of baseball, volleyball, and wedding fun all happening! Hope you have a great weekend!
I always kind of like when the kids have a day off school. It's a chance for all of us to relax a bit and get out of the routine. Love that eyelet top, so pretty. Have a great weekend.
I love all of the earrings, and that white eyelet top is absolutely adorable!!!! Glad you had such a great trip!
Happy Birthday Tina!!! Your mama is one of my FAVORITE people!!!
Happy birthday, Tina!! We think you are pretty amazing!
Your San Diego trip sounds amazing, can't wait to hear more! Aren't lazy mornings the best? :) Enjoy your weekend!
Moms are the very best! No matter how old you are, you always need your mom! Hope she has a great day! Amen on the getting back into cooking too after vacation!
How pretty is that slow-cooker?! And those earrings are so fun!!
I love your style and look forward to your Friday Favorites post every week!
My kids actually ask us to leave for short trips so they can spent more time with their grandmas! LOL. Sounds like fun was had by everyone.
Bless your Mama. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Oh how I love that embroidered top. I'm needing to add a few more spring tops to my wardrobe !

One third of Trinity's most recent incoming class was privately educated
Andrew O'Donovan
32% of Trinity's most recent cohort of first years from Irish schools were educated at a fee-paying school, according to recently published feeder school tables. Five such schools – Wesley, St Andrew's, Blackrock, Belvedere and the High School – together account for just over 9%, and 13 sent more than a quarter of their year to Trinity.
The tables rank Irish schools by the number of students they send to high-points courses (defined as the courses of the seven universities, DIT, RCSI, and the teacher education colleges).
Topping the list is the Teresian School, Dublin 4, which had all of its graduating class accepted in "high points" courses, followed by Sandford Park, Dublin 6, and Glenstal Abbey, a boarding school in County Limerick. Of the top 20, only three are non-fee paying or Irish-language medium schools.
In almost all cases, annual fees for private schools are greater than the student registration charge at third level.
Despite the continued dominance of private schools, "secondary schools in a number of disadvantaged areas are having increasing success in helping students graduate to higher education", according to the Irish Times. That success is attributed to "stronger links between post-primary and third-level institutions, more sharply-focused guidance counselling, and higher student expectations through performance targets."
Trinity offers a number of services for socioeconomically disadvantaged students through the Trinity Access Programme (TAP). 6% of places are reserved for those who qualify, and they are eligible for a concession on points.
Clíona Hannon, director of TAP, told Trinity News that "some of the schools we are working with are facing significant challenges relating to under-resourcing and the impact of outside school factors related to disadvantage and poverty. We have no doubt there are many, many more students out there who could benefit from a Trinity education, if they were in properly resourced educational environments from much earlier in their development."
Trinity College remains a university dominated by Dubliners. For the most recent academic year for which there is data, 2013/14, 55% of domestic students had an address in Dublin and less than a quarter were resident outside of Leinster.

From luxury vinyl and laminate to commercial carpet flooring, there are almost endless products designed specifically for businesses like yours. But what makes commercial floor coverings the uniquely fitted products for businesses like yours versus residential carpeting.
From luxury vinyl and laminate to commercial carpet flooring, there is an almost infinite range of choices for your décor. For residential flooring, style and comfort are often the first priority. So, you will typically find more color and style options among these plush, comfortable options.
Residential carpet is made to be comfortable, appealing to the eye, and quiet. It has a taller pile than industrial, and a reasonably loose loop design. This makes for a more plush, comfortable feel and look. Be that as it may, the residential carpet wouldn't be able to handle the heavy foot traffic that industrial can. Industrial carpet is made with just that in mind, to be durable. Industrial carpet is made with a tight loop and a short pile, giving it density to withstand the punishment it takes on a daily basis.
Both commercial and residential carpet will require regular vacuuming.
However, the commercial carpet will require more vacuuming than a home would. Depending on the nature of your establishment, you may need vacuuming in between shifts. You'll also need to plan for more visits from the professional carpet cleaning company. Again, this is due to the heavy foot traffic your carpet will bear with. Just think of all the shoes and all the microbial germs being tracked in and out!

The IOPD in 2 minutes
On International Women's Day 2021 we call for the effective participation of women in public affairs
Women mayors and councilors of the IOPD claim in this 8-M the feminist struggle and the struggle for effective equality in society, economy, and politics.
Discover the testimonies of local women leaders in cities around the world ahead of International Women's Day 2021, which under the theme "Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world", celebrates the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Clara Brugada, mayor of Iztapalapa and co-president of the IOPD says "it is about displaying, reflecting and fighting against inequality towards women" and recalls all her commitments as mayor to achieve equality and fight to eradicate violence against women.
Nelly Ouassenan, deputy mayor of Cocody, Abidjan, Ivory Coast, representing the other co-presidency, launches a message of struggle and hope, and points out that despite the impact of COVID-19, which is particularly hard on women, "we must not lose heart, we must persist in the struggle for equality".
Joana Balsemão, councilor of the Cascais City Council, explains how her local administration places participation as a fundamental axis of its action, especially with the experience of the participatory budget in which women participate actively as much as men.
Émilie Thuillier mayor of a district of Montréal and head of democracy in the municipal government of Montréal claims the importance of gender equality in a city that has had a woman mayor since 2017 and uses a gender analysis tool to implement all public policies.
Chloé Le Bret, Grenoble councilor in charge of Equal Rights, also emphasizes that the pandemic meant a worsening of the situation of women, especially with regard to the increase in violence and poverty. She also highlights the work carried out by her government and stresses the importance of working collaboratively.
"Together we can build real equality policies, together with associations, feminist communities, and inhabitants".
Pilar Díaz, mayor of Esplugues de Llobregat, pays tribute to all the women who have been at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic and encourages to continue the fight for effective equality and to "remember that every day of the year is March 8".
Dominique Ollivier, president of the Office de Consultation Publique de Montréal, vindicates the pioneers who fought for equality and, from her work to promote citizen participation, emphasizes that "we continue to work daily on issues of women's participation, on how to eliminate their obstacles to participation, because it is clear that when we do not listen to the voice of women, it is a great loss for our society."
Paula Marques, councilor for housing and local development of the Lisbon City Council commemorates the struggle of so many women to achieve better living conditions in so many areas and insists on the fight against discrimination and inequalities.
"Every March 8, and March 8 is every day we get up and go to the fight!"
Claudia Acebrón, councilwoman in the City Council of Esplugues de Llobregat, being in charge of the areas of Civil Rights and Development Cooperation and deputy in Women's Policies and uses of time also recalls that every day should be March 8 and that "future and feminism must go hand in hand".

RFC works with reputable egg donor agencies and we have exclusive access to an affiliated, anonymous egg donor program. Our patients are welcome to choose any donor from any agency and our coordinator will take care of the rest.
Our egg donors come from diverse ethnicities. Current donor pool includes candidates who are: Caucasian, European, Swedish, Irish, Russian, British, Italian, Armenian, South American, Indian, African American, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Cantonese.
Our standard egg donor program is anonymous, meaning you will not be provided with identifying information about the donor, nor will the donor be provided with identifying information about you. Donor profiles consist of childhood pictures of the donor, other pictures the donor may feel comfortable sharing, the donor's health history and family history. Prior to donation, the donor will be subject to a psychological screening, consultation with a psychologist and a signed legal contract that lays out both the donor and recipient rights and responsibilities.
You may be interested in working with a "known" egg donor, which means the donor is someone you know or have met, such as a family member or a friend. In these instances, it is also important to make sure the legal contract and any psychological evaluation requirements are met, to ensure that the rights of the recipient and the donor are protected. Our center is happy to work with any reputable egg donor agencies you may have found. In addition, our patients may also choose to work with our exclusively affiliated egg donor agency, which provides our patients the benefits of having an extensive donor pool, customized search services, online access of profiles at home, guarantee programs, and personalized services, all at a substantial savings compared to using a non-affiliated agency. Scheduling a consultation with our donor agency is free and you do not have to pay any fees to access our donor or surrogate base. Identification verification is required to protect our program participants' privacy.
RFC has an exclusive and extensive Asian Egg Donor Programs consisting of the following ethnicities: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, and Taiwanese. No wait, convenient and affordable for out-of-town recipients. The majority of our donors are local, so the recipient couple will not have to pay any travel expenses or lost wages for the donor. Please click here to apply. Egg donors are healthy and caring young women between the ages of 19 and 30 years old. They lead healthy lifestyles and their families are free of any genetic disorders. Although there is a financial benefit in egg donation, we seek candidates who care strongly about helping others create a family. We find our donors to be altruistic women who receive great personal satisfaction from giving this remarkable gift. Egg donors come from a wide range of ethnic and social backgrounds. Many are juggling responsibilities from work, school, family, and other aspects of their lives. We understand their time is valuable so we make every effort to make the process as convenient and as easy as possible. We may be reached at any one of our multiple locations throughout Southern California. Many of our past donors have voluntarily referred their friends based on their own positive and rewarding experience.
Egg donation takes 2-3 months to complete. Egg donors will need to do pre-cycle screening, psychological evaluation, and legal contract before proceeding to medical procedures.
Detailed medical screening is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it may involve testing the donor's partner (if any) and may require more than one set of blood work. The medical screening has to be done at an FDA-approved laboratory. The extensive requirements are in place to protect the recipients of the donor egg.
At minimum, donors are tested for common genetic disorders and a determination will be made if any additional genetic screening is recommended.
A psychologist is available to provide psychological screening for the donor. The screening is helpful in preparing the donor mentally for the procedure and assist in her understanding of the process. The donor will understand if she is ready and committed to undergoing the IVF cycle as a voluntary participant.
Although California is one of the best States for egg donation and surrogacy in the United States, reproductive law is still considered an unsettled area of law. Therefore, we require every egg donation case have a legal contract in place to protect the privacy, rights and responsibilities of both the donor and the recipient. Our patients have expressed that they feel having the legal contract in place prior to donation is a great investment, and it has provided them peace of mind for the future.
Due to our high pregnancy success rates, our affiliated agency is also able to offer peace of mind programs such as the Pregnancy Guarantee Program, Free Re-match Program, Customized Search Program and Discount Programs. These programs offer free re-match if your donor becomes disqualified or if a pregnancy is not achieved with the chosen donor.
The agency also has vetted donors with previous successful donations and pre-approved donors who have successfully completed testing for potential disqualifying factors.
To apply as a recipient, please click here.
RFC has a very successful egg donor program and invites women who are between 19-30 years of age to enroll in our egg donor program by visiting www.OCdonor.com.
In addition to having the satisfaction of helping an infertile couple have a baby, egg donors receive monetary compensation for their time and effort. All medical expenses involved in the egg donation process are paid by the recipient couple.
RFC has a large egg donor pool with new as well as proven donors (donors with previous successful donations).
To find out more about the egg donor program, please click here.
You're going to use an egg donor to have a baby. Most likely it wasn't an easy decision, and now you're anxious to get started. The team at Reproductive Fertility Center in Southern California has more than 18 years of experience working with intended parents through its extensive anonymous egg donation program. Dr. James Lin, the founder of Reproductive Fertility Center, offers information on choosing a fertility clinic for egg donation.
Q: As a patient using donor eggs, what should I look for in a fertility clinic?
A: You should feel comfortable communicating with the doctor and staff of the fertility clinic. Egg donation is a complicated process, and you want to work with a team that will address your concerns or issues, including any feelings you may be experiencing. One important consideration is whether the clinic is willing to screen your potential donor before you start the cycle. For example, once a patient has chosen a donor, our affiliated egg donor agency sends the donors to us to be screened. The affiliated agency is willing to send the donor to be evaluated without charging the patient the agency fee.
Also, I would also look at how many egg donor cycles the fertility clinic does a year, what the pregnancy rates are, and whether or not they offer a refund plan option if no pregnancy is achieved. Lastly, don't hesitate to find out if the clinic has the capability to freeze the embryos or eggs for future use.
Q: What are the benefits of using a fertility clinic that has its own donor agency?
A: Not all clinics will evaluate the donor before you are matched. It is so much more reassuring if the clinic is already familiar with the egg donor or has already approved the donor based on her assessment and medical history.
Another benefit to using a fertility clinic with a donor agency is what's mentioned in the previous question: our affiliated agency sends the potential donor to the clinic for evaluation without the recipient having to pay the full agency fee. The recipient only has to pay the medical cost and any travel costs. The recipient will pay the agency fee to confirm a match only when the donor has been approved. Having a dedicated team for your case is also important. Egg donation is a complicated process and involves a lot of communication between patient, clinic, agency, donor, and other professionals such as a psychologist and attorneys. If the agency and the clinic has been working closely, it can provide the intended parents a smoother and easier experience.
Q: Why do patients travel from out of state or out of country to use donor eggs?
A: From what patients have shared with us, it is often more important to them to find the right egg donor and clinic than it is for the donor to be geographically convenient for them. It's also essential to find a clinic that is the right fit for them than it is to use a clinic closer to their home because the recipient simply awaits the embryo transfer. Once the egg donation process is complete, the impact is lifelong; it makes sense for patients to choose the right egg donor and the right clinic, above other considerations.
Q: Can I find a donor of specific Asian ethnicity? How do I get started?
A: Yes, absolutely, but Asian donors can be hard to find unfortunately due to many reasons, including cultural. However, at Reproductive Fertility Center, we have been working with an exclusive Asian egg donor pool for 10 years. Our donors are of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, and Taiwanese ethnicity. Within the past 10 years we have developed many relationships, received many word-of-mouth referrals and we find that those are the best donors.
It also helps that Dr. Lin, a Southern California native, speaks fluent Mandarin.

The Tamaricaceae, the tamarisk family, are a family of plants native to drier areas of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It contains four genera: Tamarix (with 73 species), Reaumuria (25 species), Myricaria (13 species), and Myrtama (a single species).

In the 1980s, the family was classified in the Violales under the Cronquist system; more modern classifications (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) place them in the Caryophyllales.

Many of the plants in the family grow on saline soils, tolerating up to 15,000 ppm soluble salt and can also tolerate alkaline conditions. The leaves are generally scale-like, measure 1–5 mm long, overlap each other along the stem, and in some species are encrusted with salt secretions.

NASA Mars InSight Mission Update
If you have been forgetting to keep up with what's going on with the Mars InSight mission I have you covered! Back in early April, I posted about the Mars mission and even shared NASA's weather forecast. I still can't help but get nerded out by the weather updates. I know weather may seem a bit banal but did you ever imagine we would have something as pedestrian as weather forecasts and current conditions from another planet? Think about that. Why didn't NASA do weather for the Moon? Well, weather requires atmosphere and the Moon, well, it's a little deficient there. So there are no variations on the Moon like we have on Earth... or Mars. Okay, there are variations but it's all very black and white on the Moon (almost literally). When the Moon's surface is facing the Sun it's hot. Damn hot. Like 260ºF hot.
And when the Moon's surface isn't facing the sun it's cold. Damn cold. Like -280ºF cold. Those are just changes in temperature which is not the same thing as weather. Heating a pot of cold water to boiling isn't weather if you want to think of it that way.
I digress though. Since my last post on this topic, NASA have been working through the issue of getting the MOLE (the instrument designed to dig 5 meters down into the Martian soil) "unstuck". The original working theory was that MOLE hit a large rock, which is still possible, but through their testing a more plausible theory is that the soil is just too soft. MOLE is basically a hammer drill. The design of such an instrument banks on whatever material you are digging into is going to provide resistance which may seem counterintuitive. Obviously solid resistance at the surface would be problematic but for a hammer drill to work it needs friction which it uses against what ever material it's drilling into to drill further down. Now imagine trying to use a jackhammer in dry fluffy sand to drill a hole... sure the jackhammer will make an indentation but just as fast as it makes a hole it will just fill back in with sand, never really making a hole. In this case, though, it sounds like the type of soil NASA are trying to drill into is more like a silt which is compacting and providing no resistance around the drill at all. Instead of a hammer drill, they have a jackhammer. Just bouncing up and down. The team are still working the problem and hopefully they can find a solution. Sadly, the lander does not have the ability to change MOLE's location unless the engineers can come up with something clever to move it (that's assuming that moving the MOLE a meter or two will change the outcome).
But the news isn't all bad. Remember, part of the mission was to place a seismometer on Mars too. Through data they have collected, they have been able to map what a marsquake looks like (yes! they've measured marsquakes!) and it's starting to reveal what the structure of Mars looks like. Lots of work to do still but the team have already been able to simulate what quakes feel like between Earth, the Moon, and Mars in a really interesting (and slightly comical) video they posted on 22 July.
I continue to stay fascinated by this mission and I'm eagerly awaiting the Mars 2020 mission but I'll need to be patient. We are still a year away from launch and then several months after that before Mars 2020 lands on the surface (expected February 2021). It gets easy to get caught up in books, TV shows, and movies about humans in space and then become impatient at how long these things take but I have to remind myself that in my lifetime we put rovers, and more rovers, and will put even more rovers on Mars. We visited another planet's moon and we have not one but two probes outside of our solar system. During the week that we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first landing on the Moon it's easy to forget everything we have accomplished so far (as a species) in space exploration and we're still working with stone tools. Rovers aren't as "sexy" as people on the surface but they are still huge accomplishments. If you want to see the entirety of space missions unmanned and manned the Planetary Society has a pretty cool infograph of this. If you're a fan of Carl Sagan or Bill Nye then you might even want to consider donating to them (I have). It's a pretty cool organization and, if I'm being honest, wish I had half the smarts to be a part of. :-)
Speaking of Mars 2020, did you know you can send your name to Mars? Check it out! I signed up even though it's a little silly but I was surprised that already nearly 8 million people had already signed up too. Wow!

The focus of the West Virginia teachers' strike has oscillated between teachers deserving better compensation and a more general anxiety about the strength of the state's middle-class institutions.
On February 22nd, schoolteachers in each of West Virginia's fifty-five counties did not show up for work. With no one to teach class, and no substitutes to call on, every school in the state closed. The lead-up to the strike happened so quickly that, as it began, its aims were a little elusive. "I can't tell you the number of people who have said, 'I can't tell you how we got here—I blinked, and here we are,' " Stephen Wotring, the superintendent of schools in Preston County, said on Tuesday afternoon.
The teachers spoke about two kinds of issues, overlapping but distinct. Their primary grievance was that they made, by national standards, very little money, and that the governor had partly reneged on a promise to increase their pay. The other issue was more complex. West Virginia has so many vacant teaching positions that, in many schools, grades had been combined for efficiency, and teachers were teaching subjects for which they were not certified or trained. A bill had been proposed in the state legislature to lower teacher-certification standards in order to more easily fill the vacant jobs, but, to the current teachers, this bill was evidence that politicians in the state were not genuinely interested in improving the schools. On this matter, the rhetoric was especially sharp. Hand in hand with the grievance over compensation was a sense that the Appalachian middle class was in crisis.
In the past two and a half years—since the opioid epidemic announced itself as a crisis, and the 2016 Presidential campaign began in earnest—Appalachia has often been discussed in Campbell's terms, as if the fate of the coal mines was becoming the fate of the region. The general story of a cultural crisis matched the one presented in the writer J. D. Vance's memoir of Appalachian Ohio, "Hillbilly Elegy." Vance's Appalachia was a clannish, abused place in which success was resented and family relations were chaotic. Once it became obvious that the region was a center of the Trump phenomenon, arriving national political reporters saw things, at least partly, through Vance's eyes. The Times columnist Roger Cohen wrote, "Trump's perceived character . . . resonates in places like Appalachia where courage, country and cussedness are core values." Liberal analysts have tended to consider the region the scene of a moral comeuppance: the U.S. for decades treated Appalachia like an internal colony, useful mostly for what could be extracted from it, and its residents reacted by supporting an ignorant racist for President.
The Appalachian left is a relatively small faction (when I called Fones-Wolf, the labor historian at W.V.U., he mentioned that he was having dinner with Catte that very evening), and Catte, an officer of the Charlottesville, Virginia, chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, captures its perspective. She points out that the diversity of the region is badly underrecognized ("There are more people in Appalachia who identify as African-American than as Scots-Irish") and emphasizes the region's radical labor history: the mine-labor fights of Harlan County, Kentucky; the community health clinics; the training school for civil-rights organizers. "If you saw through my eyes you'd see hands in pockets and hands on guns and toes on picket lines," she writes of Appalachia.
The strike was still in effect late Tuesday afternoon, and so Wotring, the schools superintendent of Preston County, was at his desk without a whole lot to do. Wotring grew up in Preston County—an area, just east of Morgantown, where income levels are a bit below the state average—and has worked in the school system there for thirty-six years, first as a high-school math and science teacher and then as a principal and, eventually, as a superintendent. He said the challenges that his school faces because of its rural character were mundane (the tax base is thin; Preston County has more miles of road than all but one other county in the state, and so transportation is a headache) compared to anything as intangible as the culture. "It's not like they're backwoods kids who don't know anything," Wotring said. He mentioned a former science student of his, Danny Moyer, who had gone to W.V.U., then to graduate studies at U.C.L.A., and eventually to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he had worked on the Mars rover. Talent tended to migrate out of Preston County, but that was O.K. with Wotring. "My goal is not to educate the kids so they all stay here," he said.
Wotring's sympathies were obviously with the teachers. His own district borders both Pennsylvania and Maryland, and keeping teachers in his school, considering the higher salaries that they could earn just a few miles away, required constant effort. He thought that what had really bothered the teachers, beyond the issues of pay and benefits, was the suggestion, from the state legislature, that vacancies could be filled by people who were not certified to teach. "One of the things they are really fighting for is to be recognized as professionals of value," he said.
Throughout the strike, it had been hard to pin down the position of Governor Justice, a variable figure. One of the wealthiest men in the state and a longtime Republican, Justice had switched parties to run for governor in 2016 as a Democrat, before switching back last August, a decision that he announced at a rally with Trump, in Huntington. When I spoke with Campbell, the teachers'-union official, on Tuesday, she told me she believed that the governor's interest in improving West Virginia's schools was genuine. Still, she said, "I don't feel like he's really connecting the dots about how you do that." She sounded somewhat more optimistic about Justice than her membership did. On Tuesday evening, the governor and the union leaders announced a deal to end the strike, in which the teachers would get the pay raise they wanted and the planned cuts to their benefits would be postponed by a year.
The nature of Appalachia seems, at this moment, to matter very much to American politics, and so each turn in the arguments about the region has raised the stakes for the next. Vance's description of a pathological culture provoked Catte's account of a diverse region menaced by capital; the media's certainty that West Virginia was Trump country deepened Roberts's insistence that it belonged to its laborers. "Appalachia was not different from the rest of America," the Appalachian historian Ronald Eller wrote ten years ago, in his history of the region, "Uneven Ground." "It was in fact a mirror of what the nation was becoming." Maybe that is the real source of the suspense, in the conflict between educators wearing red and the Trump-supporting governor: it isn't at all obvious whether these teachers are professionals in a middle-class place or workers whose footsteps get tracked by an app, because it isn't at all obvious what the nation is becoming.

Trends in Customer Matching Systems
DM Review
Every year around this time, Raab Associates updates its Guide to Customer Matching Systems. After changes for each vendor have been posted, we have a rare opportunity to step back and look for larger patterns. Here's what we saw.
– Search-based technologies. Most of today's commercial customer matching systems (Firstlogic, Group 1, Trillium, Innovative Systems, DataMentors) were originally designed to merge records into mailing lists or customer databases. But another set of products has now appeared, with roots in searches against police, medical or immigration files. These include Search Software America, Intelligent Search Technology and ChoiceMaker. Like merge-oriented systems, the search products ultimately compare records to determine whether they match. But the search systems generally apply more sophisticated mechanisms when selecting records to compare, and are less dependent on parsing and standardization for accurate results.
In particular, the search systems are noteworthy for considering the frequency of individual names within their logic. In practical terms, this means they require more precise matches against more common names. Frequency is most often used during the initial selection of records to submit to a detailed matching process. This reduces the number of records that must be matched against common names–an important consideration for online search systems–without excessively limiting the candidates compared to unusual names. Frequency is also sometimes used within the matching logic itself, on the theory that unusual names are more likely to be misspelled, misformatted, or otherwise mangled during data capture and processing. (SAS DataFlux and Ascential QualityStage [originally Vality Integrity] also use frequency in these ways, although they did not start out as search systems.)
To reduce their reliance on parsing and standardization, search systems may match against all words in a name field, rather than attempting to identify family vs. given names, or match against both original and standardized addresses rather than the standardized address only. This typically requires storing several versions of each reference record–another way to improve online response time, although at the cost of higher storage and initial processing expenses.
Search system vendors claim to be more accurate and easier to set up than their merge-oriented competitors. Of course, the competitors disagree. Both sides point to tests that support their position, but the painful truth is that results will vary greatly depending on the data, applications and technicians involved. So careful buyers have little choice other than to run tests of their own.
– Surveillance applications. It's old news that customer matching systems are now connected to online operational systems to identify customers during order entry, technical support, and customer service transactions. Such applications came naturally to search systems, while merge-oriented systems added real-time candidate selection and matching against reference databases to support them.
These capabilities have in turn enabled new applications to spot fraud, money laundering and terrorists. These are based on existing matching functions but still require product extensions for new user interfaces, audit trails, and reference list maintenance. Some also need new matching methods to find relationships among individuals and organizations. Surveillance is a new business for many matching vendors and often involves buyers who are not their traditional customers. But several firms report it already accounts for a substantial revenue stream.
– Better handling of international data. Both customer files and surveillance systems must increasingly contend with names and addresses of people from outside the United States. These often involve spellings, rules and formats that are quite different from U.S. or Western European standards. Most matching systems can accommodate these by applying specialized rules and data tables to their existing processes. While this is still a major investment, major vendors are increasingly finding it worth making.
– Easier system configuration. Matching has traditionally been part of business processes, such as loading a data warehouse, that are set up and managed by technical users. The matching system itself would often be tuned once, during implementation, by specialists from the vendor or an outside consultancy. As a result, buyers focused on system accuracy and flexibility but paid little attention to ease of deployment or revision.
Today, matching systems are used for more applications and requirements can change quite frequently. Companies also have less time and money for implementation and maintenance. Vendors have responded by adding graphical user interfaces, reports and other features to speed and simplify deployment. In theory, this could allow non-technical users to set up their own processing streams and business rules–although in practice such users rarely take on these tasks by themselves.
– Expansion beyond name and address matching. Matching systems are increasingly being asked to parse, standardize and match non-name and address data such as product IDs. This reflects the continued extension of business intelligence systems and the greater familiarity of technology departments with matching system capabilities. Streamlined configuration processes and matching methods that work despite minimal parsing and standardization are important contributors to this trend. Tight budgets, which make it harder to purchase new tools rather than repurpose existing ones, may also have something to do with it.
– Extended product suites. Several matching vendors have extended their products to provide input profiling, transformations, loading, consolidation, enhancement and analysis. Combined with the mix of batch and real time processing capabilities, this allows them to position the systems as a "complete data quality solution"–with the precise definition of "complete" always conveniently corresponding to the particular set of features the vendor happens to offer.
This type of expansion is typical of the software industry, and in particular of specialized products that become more widely adapted. The fundamental challenge faced by vendors in this situation is that once their tools become well understood, larger vendors of related products can easily add some version of the specialized capability and then squeeze the specialists into an ever-shrinking "best of breed" niche. Matching vendors already face precisely such competition from Ascential and SAS, which have both purchased and integrated specialized matching systems. Potential competitors including Informatica and Siebel have so far chosen to partner with matching vendors rather than acquire or replace them, but there are no guarantees this will continue.
Line extension is therefore essentially a defensive move. The specialists seek a large enough presence to justify remaining part of corporate infrastructures or, failing that, enough revenue from a smaller number of clients that they can still survive. Historically, such expansion has rarely succeeded: small software companies have a hard time supporting a large product line, and big competitors have an overwhelming marketing advantage. So the strong likelihood is continued consolidation of the matching market, as small companies drop out or, more likely, are acquired by larger firms for their technology. In other words, the changes we saw this year are just a hint of the changes yet to come.

Joseph McCann's heinous acts would turn the stomach of the most hardened individuals.
Over a two-week crime spree he brought misery and fear to communities across England.
On Friday (December 6) McCann was found guilty of 37 counts including rape, kidnapping and sexual assault.
Officers from the police painstakingly put together his movements in order to catch him and provide evidence in court to bring him down.
And on Monday (December 9) he was handed 33 life sentences at the Old Bailey.

Below MyLondon has put together the timeline of the harrowing events showing just how dangerous Joseph McCann was.
Joseph McCann's sickening timeline of rape and kidnap
McCann kidnapped a 21-year-old woman at knifepoint as she walked home alone in Watford.
McCann kidnapped a 25-year-old woman seconds from her front door in Walthamstow and a 21-year-old who was walking home with her sister in Edgware later the same day.
Both were subject to repeated rapes and sexual assaults before they were finally able to escape in Watford.
Footage was seized from a hotel in Watford where McCann had attempted to check in with the victims just minutes before they escaped.
Later that evening these images were released to the public as part of a media appeal and within hours he was identified as Joseph McCann.
Sunday, May 5 - 10.30am
Police in Lancashire received a 999 call at around 10.30am to say a woman had been detained in her own home and her two children, aged 11 and 17, raped and sexually assaulted.
Sunday, May 5 - 1.25pm
McCann travelled to Ramsbottom, in Greater Manchester, where he approached a 71-year-old woman as she got into her car.
He took her to an industrial estate where he raped her.
He later kidnapped a 13-year-old girl from a street in Heywood and sexually assaulted her while the previous victim was still in the car.
Both victims managed to escape while at a service station in Knutsford and called police.
McCann arrived in Congleton, Cheshire, where he kidnapped two 14-year-old girls who were walking down the road with a friend.
An officer from Cheshire on patrol in a marked police car spotted McCann's car at a roundabout and a pursuit ensued.
Following a collision with another vehicle, McCann fled the scene on foot and managed to escape from officers.
The two girls were left shaken but uninjured.
After setting up road blocks an officer manning one stopped a taxi and saw a man matching McCann's description in the back seat.
McCann ran from the scene and a police helicopter located him just over an hour later, hiding up a tree.
Monday, May 6 - 2.36am
Arrested by officers after a five our stand off.
Found guilty of 37 offences, including kidnap and rape.

Cyberpunk 2077 1026% 698%
In terms of overall gaming performance, the AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 is very slightly better than the Intel Xeon Processor 3.4GHz when it comes to running the latest games. This also means it will be less likely to bottleneck more powerful GPUs, allowing them to achieve more of their gaming performance potential.
The Xeon Processor 3.4GHz was released less than a year after the Athlon 64 FX-53, and so they are likely to have similar levels of support, and similarly optimized performance when running the latest games.
The Xeon Processor 3.4GHz and the Athlon 64 FX-53 both have 1 cores, and so are quite likely to struggle with the latest games, or at least bottleneck high-end graphics cards when running them. With a decent accompanying GPU, the Xeon Processor 3.4GHz and the Athlon 64 FX-53 may still be able to run slightly older games fairly effectively.
The Xeon Processor 3.4GHz and Athlon 64 FX-53 are not from the same family of CPUs, so their clock speeds are by no means directly comparable. Bear in mind, then, that while the Xeon Processor 3.4GHz has a 1 GHz faster frequency, this is not always an indicator that it will be superior in performance, despite frequency being crucial when trying to avoid GPU bottlenecking. In this case, however, the difference is probably a good indicator that the is superior.
The Xeon Processor 3.4GHz has a 1024 KB bigger L2 cache than the Athlon 64 FX-53, but neither of the CPUs have L3 caches, so the Xeon Processor 3.4GHz wins out in this area with its larger L2 cache.
The Athlon 64 FX-53 has a 21 Watt lower Maximum TDP than the Xeon Processor 3.4GHz. However, the Xeon Processor 3.4GHz was created with a 40 nm smaller manufacturing technology. Overall, by taking both into account, the Xeon Processor 3.4GHz is likely the CPU with the lower heat production and power requirements, by quite a wide margin.

According to the legend, when Buddha reached enlightenment he invited all the animals to celebrate their joy. To that invitation only 12 animals came; the Pig was one of them and they were included, from that moment onwards, in the Chinese Horoscope.
How do I know if I am a Pig?
As we have indicated before, each animal 'governs' a specific year. The years of the Pig in the Chinese Horoscope are: 1911, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007… and so on, adding 12 years to the previous figure.
In the Chinese Horoscope, the Pig is known as one of the signs that most appreciates the pleasures of life.
They usually feel comfortable in situations where no one else could feel, emotionally speaking. They tend to be good people who like to live a quiet and peaceful life.
Lust for life: it is the sign of the Chinese Horoscope that most enjoys the small pleasures of life.
Selfish: in general, the Pig is quite obsessed with himself and easily forgets the needs of others.
Somewhat insecure: they are excellent workers but, sometimes, they do not believe in their own abilities; with the right leader they can develop all their talent but first they need a good dose of self-confidence.
Good advisers: Pigs have common sense and the rest of the people seek their advice, which is generally good.
When those born under this sign of the Chinese Horoscope have the water element, they are self-indulgent people who need an extra stimulus to overcome laziness. They are naturally charming.
Under the influence of the element wood, Pigs tend to develop their wisdom and ambition.
Under the fire element, this sign of the Chinese Horoscope is brave and adventurous. Friend of the risks and challenges.
Under the influence of the element earth, Pigs are more insecure and prudent.
They are very fun and sociable. They cannot stand spending much time in the same place.
