IT Industry News – May 2017
A Little History of May in previous years
Five years ago, in May 2012, Facebook went public and there was a fair amount of M&A activity. The largest deal saw SAP's $4.3 billion acquisition of Ariba, with CGI's $2.8 billion acquisition of Logica PLC of particular interest to those of us here in Canada! EMC continued its pattern of acquisitions with the $430 million purchase of XtremIO; perennial acquirer Oracle paid $300 million for social media marketing firm Vitrue; in the storage space Seagate, paid $186 million for a controlling interest in LaCie; Microsoft invested $300 million in a Barnes & Noble subsidiary; and LinkedIn paid $118 million for Slideshare. There was plenty more activity, but with the amounts not published. Twitter bought RestEngine; IBM bought customer analytics company Tealeaf Technology; VMware bought Wanova; and Cisco bought Truvisco.
In May 2013, Yahoo purchased Tumblr for $1.1 billion. The $6.9 billion deal to take BMC Software private did not cause the same kind of splash — the power of the brand? Manitoba Tel decided to shed its Allstream division to a holding company for $520 million; McAfee paid $389 million for Finnish security firm Stonesoft; Dell added to its cloud capabilities with the purchase of Estratius; AVG bought PrivacyChoice; and Ottawa based N-Able Technologies became one more Canadian company to be bought by a larger US company, this time Solarwinds for $120 million.
In May 2014, AT&T paid $50 billion for DirectTV and Apple paid $3 billion for Beats. Google continued to invest in its Android strategy, this time with a strategy company, Divide, that would bring help breaking into the enterprise. Other acquisitions saw Seagate pay $450 million for some flash capability from Avago (the LSI divisions); GE bought cyber security firm Wurdtech; EMC bought a flash (see the trend) start-up DSSD; Time Warner bought Youtube video network FullScreen; and SAP bought behavioral target marketing company SeeWhy.
May 2015 saw some very large deals on the M&A front, with the biggest seeing Charter Communications spend $55 billion to buy Time Warner Cable and a further $10.4 billion to buy Bright House Networks. This creates the second largest cable company in the US, just behind Comcast. The "billion-dollar club" also saw French Telco Altice pay $9.1 billion for another US cable company Suddenlink Communications. Keeping with the billion dollar deals involving telcos, Verizon paid $4.4 billion for AOL to bolster its mobile video capabilities. Another billion dollar deal saw HP unload 70% of its stake in its China server, storage and technology storage unit to Tsinghua Holdings for $2.3 billion. The final billion-dollar deal saw EMC pay $1.2 billion for cloud service provider Virtustream. Apple was out buying a couple of companies in May, snapping up mapping company Coherent Navigation and augmented reality company Metaio. In other deals, Avaya bought cloud technology company Esna; and Cisco bought cloud programming interface company Tropo.
May 2016 saw some M&A activity with the largest deal seeing HPE merge its services arm with CSC in a $8.5 billion deal to create arguably the largest IT services company. In another large deal, Vista Equity Partners paid $1.79 billion for customer service and marketing cloud provider Marketo. There were some other big names out shopping in May too. Oracle paid $532 million for software as a service for the utilities vertical, company Opower; Google picked up interactive training platform Synergyse; Infor bought consulting services company Merit Globe AS; and ARM paid $350 million for imaging and embedded systems company Apical. Microsoft ended an unhappy period by divesting its feature phone business to FIH mobile for $350 million, and GoDaddy picked up cloud-based phone company FreedomVoice for $43 million. New Signature picked up another Microsoft solution provider, Dot Net Solutions; and Edmonton-based F12.Net bought Calgary-based professional services company XCEL.
Which brings us back to the present
The most significant purchase in May 2017 was the $1.86 billion sale of CenturyLink's data centres and colocation business to a consortium led by BC Partners, Medina Capital Advisors and Longview Asset Management. Cybersecurity startup, Hexadite, was bought by Microsoft for $100 million. Goldman Sachs entered the BI space by purchasing a minority stake in Information Builders of New York City. Apple acquired Beddit, a Finnish sleep sensor product, for an undisclosed amount. Finnish cybersecurity firm, F-Secure acquired British security consultants, Digital Assurance also for an undisclosed amount.
In other news, increasing smartphone sales around the world are not coming from tech giants like Apple and Samsung. Chinese smartphone makers are on the rise and gaining significant market share at home and in other densely populated countries.

Kendall Jenner Appropriates Mexican Culture for Her Tequila Brand
by Sofia Aguilar May 21, 2021 May 21, 2021
Kendall Jenner became another in a long line American celebrities who have either endorsed luxury tequila brands or started one of their own using the labor of Mexican farmworkers for their own profit. But unlike The Rock, Nick Jonas, George Clooney, or Michael Jordan, Jenner and her 818 Tequila are facing backlash for the same cultural appropriation of Mexican culture, a double standard that fans were quick to point out. Still, as always with Jenner and the rest of her Kardashian clan, the criticism isn't necessarily the gendered hypocrisy that people think it is.
A post shared by 818 (@drink818)
For one, outsiders rarely understand the deep cultural and economic significance of tequila to Mexico. The drink is derived from blue agave, a plant that has been around since before Spanish colonization when the Aztecs considered it sacred and used it for clothing, mats, and roofs.
When tequila production began in 1700s Jalisco, operations were small, family-owned, and limited in its distribution to local communities. It became such a valuable commodity in the U.S. and staple of Mexican life that, in the 1970s, the country declared tequila its intellectual property. These days, the liquor can only be produced in Jalisco and the surrounding states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas, meaning it's illegal for any other country in the world to do the same.
Still, the U.S. interest in tequila, which has only grown ten-fold in the 21st century, hasn't come without those familiar colonizer vibes that Jenner is also perpetuating. Because of the high demand, blue agave production has worsened the quality of the country's soil, the drink is no longer made using traditional tools like brick ovens, and is instead made with machines to mild the flavor of tequila solely for U.S. consumers, The Atlantic reported. Not to mention that when outsiders, primarily American celebrities, come in to start their own brand, they take away business from locals and rarely treat the product, the land, or the workers with the respect they deserve.
So what makes Jenner unique?
Jenner's website features pictures of farmworkers similar to Nick Jonas's, and in the announcement video she dropped to coincide with the official product release, her and The Rock share nearly identical drone shots of Mexican workers walking through blue agave farms.
But in that same video, people were quick to notice Jenner's altered appearance, from her darkened skin to her "farmworker chic" garb that included a cowboy hat, woven blouse, and braids, all while straddling a horse through the agave farm in a poor attempt to emulate Mexican culture.
It didn't help that her editing team used a sepia-colored filter to make the location look more rustic and "authentic", the same technique used by every American film production company who makes a movie in Mexico. Sure, she may have spotlighted several of the workers—which she failed to do in her initial announcement and received criticism for—but the whole production read like a whitewashed, gentrified version of the real thing.
It's bad enough that she named her Mexican tequila brand 818 after her Calabasas area code, where, no doubt unknown to her, the Latinx community barely makes up 9.1 percent of the city's population and is mostly employed in the blue-collar sector. Not to mention the fact that California was once a part of Mexico.
But it became even worse when she announced her plan to release the drink first to stores in California, then exclusively to the rest of the U.S. with no intention to sell it in Mexico, a.k.a the country that made the product for her in the first place—quite literally, exploitation.
Really, no American celebrity should be pursuing their tequila ventures to make a quick profit off brown laborers. But this isn't the first time Jenner or her family have been accused of cultural appropriation, which makes her tequila venture especially tone-deaf.
@KendallJenner @KylieJenner will you ever come up with your own ideas? #culturevultures pic.twitter.com/TZHKMLZenR
— why so serious (@spicyynoodlesss) August 26, 2017
From every member facing backlash for "Blackfishing," to her and her sister Kylie selling t-shirts with their faces imposed onto photos of deceased Black artists like Tupac and Notorious BIG, even to Jenner herself appropriating Mexican-American chola fashion in a since-deleted Instagram post, that's really what this recent criticism boils down to.
She's not the first person to exploit Mexico's natural resources and human labor for the sake of personal gain—which is a problem much larger than tequila—but she's the one who keeps exhibiting the same colonizer patterns of behavior over and over again. She's the one repeatedly making headlines for her blatant abuse and exploitation of BIPOC cultures for brand deals, engagement, and profit.
We're better off supporting Clase Azul and other Mexican-owned Tequila brands, especially those run by Mexican women like Prospero Tequila, and calling out every foreign celebrity who tries to exploit cheap labor and reap the benefits of a centuries-old tradition.

#SportsReport: Rangers outscore Red Wings; Jets top Sabres
WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By Associated Press
Published March 31, 2022 at 6:22 AM EDT
NFL:
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new head coach.
Bruce Arians has decided to retire and is moving into the Buccaneers' front office. He's being replaced by defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, whose previous head coaching job was with the New York Jets.
Arians will turn 70 this coming season. He coached the Bucs to the Super Bowl title in the 2020 season and was 31-18 in three seasons with Tampa Bay. He called it the right time for him to make the transition to the front office.
There was no public indication at the NFL's annual meetings in Florida that such a move was coming.
Arians is 80-48-1 in eight years as a head coach, including his five years with the Cardinals.
In other NFL news:
The Vikings have agreed to terms on a new contract with cornerback Patrick Peterson. The 31-year-old Peterson had a solid first season with the Vikings in 2021 and was by far their most reliable cornerback in pass coverage. The eight-time Pro Bowl pick played his first 10 years in the NFL with Arizona.
Malcolm Jenkins is retiring after a 13-year NFL career in which he established himself as one of the league's best all-around safeties, most durable players and leading voices for social justice. Jenkins helped both the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles win their only Super Bowl and made a major impact off the field as an activist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. The 34-year-old Jenkins was selected by the Saints as a cornerback in the first round of the 2009 draft.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson says on Twitter that he loves the Ravens amid uncertainty about his contract status beyond this year. Jackson said Wednesday he didn't know who was putting out a "false narrative" that he was having thoughts about leaving. Jackson's contract is an issue in Baltimore for a second straight offseason.
The Jaguars have signed defensive end Arden Key to a one-year contract, giving them an athletic pass rusher to play opposite defensive end Josh Allen and potentially alongside rookie Aiden Hutchinson. Key is coming off his best year, recording 6 1/2 sacks for San Francisco while playing with Pro Bowler Nick Bosa.
NBA:
The Miami Heat remain atop the NBA's Eastern Conference after knocking off the Boston Celtics.
Jimmy Butler had 24 points and Kyle Lowry added 23 in a 106-98 victory over the Celtics. Bam Adebayo finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds to help Miami post its second straight win since a season-worst four-game losing streak.
Since briefly taking over the East's top spot Boston has lost two in a row for the first time since late January. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Jayson Tatum added 23 points and six assists in a game that featured nine ties and 16 lead changes.
Checking out Wednesday's other NBA action:
Tyus Jones scored 25 points and the Memphis Grizzlies wrapped up their first division title by edging the Spurts, 112-111. Memphis clinched the No. 2 seed in the West as well as the Southwest Division crown despite playing again without All-Star guard Ja Morant. Dillon Brooks scored 21 points and Desmond Bane and De'Anthony Melton each added 16 as the Grizzlies improved to 19-2 in games missed by Morant this season.
Devin Booker atoned for a tough shooting night by hitting the go-ahead free throws with 34.2 seconds left in the Suns' 107-103 downing of the Warriors. Booker scored 22 points but shot 5-for-21, including 2 of 8 from 3-point range. Chris Paul hit a key jumper with 1:37 remaining, added a short jumper after Booker's free throws and finished with 15 points and eight assists.
Luka Doncic poured in 35 points and had 13 assists as the Mavericks dumped the Cavaliers, 120-112. Doncic supplied 20 points while the Mavs outscored the Cavs, 39-22 in the third quarter. Dorian Finney-Smith nailed six 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 28 points for Dallas.
Nikola Jokic flirted with another triple-double with 37 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, helping the Nuggets take a 125-118 decision over the Pacers. Denver blew a 31-point lead and trailed 102-100 before scoring seven straight points. Bones Hyland scored 20 points and Will Barton added 18 for the Nuggets, who shot 62.5%.
The Raptors rolled to a 125-102 win over the Timberwolves as Pascal Siakam had 12 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high 13 assists for his second career triple-double. Gary Trent Jr. scored 29 points and Toronto strengthened its hold on sixth place in the East, moving two games ahead of Cleveland with its fourth straight win. Karl-Anthony Towns had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Anthony Edwards scored 24 points as the Timberwolves lost for the fourth time in five games.
Miles Bridges scored 31 points and LaMelo Ball had 20 with 15 rebounds to help lead the Hornets past the Knicks, 125-114. Kelly Oubre Jr. chipped in 21 on 8-for-11 shooting from the field, including four 3-pointers. Terry Rozier added 15 points for the Hornets, who have won eight of their last 11 games.
Trae Young furnished 41 points and eight assists for the Hawks in a 136-118 romp over the Thunder. Young made 13 of 24 field goals and 11 of 12 free throws in three quarters of action. Kevin Huerter and Bogdan Bogdanovic each scored 20 points for the Hawks, who won their third straight and strengthened their hold on the final Eastern Conference playoff berth.
The Pelicans topped the Trail Blazers, 117-107 as CJ McCollum scored 25 points in his first game back in Portland following a February trade to New Orleans. The Pelicans have a 1-½ game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers for the 9th spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament. A 3-pointer by McCollum gave the Pelicans their biggest lead of the game, 113-100, with 2:59 remaining.
Kristaps Porzingis scored 35 points and Tomas Satoransky had an unusual double-double as the Wizards beat the Magic, 127-110. Satoransky became the third player to finish a game with no points and at least 10 rebounds and 10 assists, providing 13 assists and 10 boards.
The Kings outlasted the Rockets, 121-118 as Davion Mitchell, Damian Jones and Trey Lyles scored 24 points each. Houston's Kevin Porter Jr. had his first career triple-double with 30 points, 12 assists and a career-high 12 rebounds. Porter and LeBron James are the only players to have a triple-double and a 50-point game before age 22.
The Boston Celtics say center Robert Williams III is expected to miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee.
The team says Williams underwent a partial knee meniscectomy Wednesday morning at a Boston hospital. He was hurt Sunday against Minnesota.
Williams was averaging 10 points, 9.6 rebounds and just over two blocks this season.
In other NBA news:
Cavaliers rookie star forward Evan Mobley will miss at least two more games with a sprained left ankle, an injury that could keep Cleveland from clinching one of the top six playoff spots. Mobley got hurt in the first half of Monday's win over Orlando and sat out Wednesday's loss to Dallas. The third pick in last year's draft is averaging 14.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL:
Shaheeen Holloway is leaving Saint Peter's for Seton Hall just days after helping the little Jesuit school make history by becoming the first No. 15 seed to reach the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.
Holloway played for the Pirates. His move to replace Kevin Willard has been a hot topic since the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Holloway's Peacocks knocked off No. 2 seed Kentucky, No. 7 Murray State and No. 3 seed Purdue before falling to North Carolina.
In other college basketball news:
Baylor standout freshman Kendall Brown and junior point guard James Akinjo have announced they are entering their names into the NBA draft. Brown averaged 9.7 points and 4.9 rebounds while starting all 34 games for the Bears. Akinjo led the Big 12 in assists and was ninth in scoring at 13.5 points a game.
Ochai Agbaji of Kansas, Johnny Davis of Wisconsin, Iowa's Keegan Murray, Drew Timme of Gonzaga and Oscar Tshiebwe of Kentucky are the five finalists for the men's John R. Wooden Award as college basketball's player of the year. Joining the five finalists on the 10-man Wooden All American Team were Kofi Cockburn of Illinois, Chet Holmgren of Gonzaga, Jaden Ivey of Purdue, Bennedict Mathurin of Arizona and Auburn's Jabari Smith.
Three Georgetown men's basketball players have entered the NCAA transfer portal, the latest in a series of members of coach Patrick Ewing's team to leave the Hoyas. The school announced the departures of Timothy Ighoefe, Tyler Beard and Jalin Billingsley, none of whom played significant minutes or provided strong statistics. The Hoyas went 6-25 overall and were the first Big East team to go 0-19 in regular-season conference play.
NHL:
The New York Rangers are two points closer to the NHL's Metropolitan Division lead after rallying for a win in Detroit.
Andrew Copp scored 1:34 into overtime of the Rangers' fourth straight win, 5-4 over the Red Wings. Chris Kreider tied it with his 46th goal, beating Alex Nedeljkovic with 3:38 left in regulation. It was his league-leading 20th power-play goal.
Artemi Panarin had a goal and two assists for the Rangers, who are within three points of the first-place Hurricanes. Carolina has a game in hand.
Ryan Reaves and Filip Chytil also scored for New York.
Elsewhere on NHL ice:
Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and an assist as the Blues upended the Canucks, 4-3. Nick Leddy, Robert Thomas and Nathan Walker also scored and David Perron added two assists for St. Louis. Elias Pettersson scored twice for the Canucks, who were playing their fifth game in eight nights.
Logan Thompson made 23 saves for his first shutout of the season, leading the Golden Knights to a 3-0 win over the Kraken. Shea Theodore scored in the second period just moments after stepping out of the penalty box. Jonathan Marchessault added an empty-net goal with 26 seconds left, his team-high 26th goal of the season.
Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid both scored in regulation and then again in the shootout, lifting the Oilers to a 4-3 win over the Kings. McDavid added an assist to get to 100 points, Cody Ceci also scored and Mikko Koskinen had 38 saves in Edmonton's eighth straight home win. Los Angeles lost for the third time in four games, wasting goals from Alexander Edler, Quinton Byfield and Carl Grundstrom.
Blake Wheeler scored once in regulation and furnished the deciding shootout tally in the Jets' 3-2 win at Buffalo. Connor Hellebuyck made 35 saves and Mason Appleton had the tying goal in Winnipeg's third win in a row.
Jan Jenik scored twice, including the go-ahead tally in a three-goal third period that sent the Coyotes to a 5-2 decision over the Sharks. Nick Ritchie, Barrett Hayton and Nick Schmaltz also scored as Arizona ended a six-game losing streak.
Coyotes leading scorer Clayton Keller was taken off the ice on a stretcher with an apparent leg injury Wednesday night.
Keller was hurt with 5:15 remaining in Arizona's game against San Jose. He was skating toward the Sharks' net when he got knocked off stride and crashed into the boards behind the goal. He remained prone on the ice for about five minutes before being taken off on a stretcher.
Keller has 28 goals and 63 points this season.
In other NHL news:
The Wild have signed defenseman Alex Goligoski to a two-year, $4 million contract extension through the 2023-24 season. The 36-year-old has two goals, 26 assists and a team-leading plus-34 rating in 58 games.
SOCCER:
The US men's soccer team did just enough to secure a berth in the World Cup.
The Americans absorbed a 2-0 loss at Costa Rica, but it came on the heels of a 5-1 rout of Panama at home last week. The Panama rout meant the United States would qualify so long as the team didn't lose to Costa Rica by six goals or more.
The Americans are back in the World Cup four years after failing to qualify.
The US was the third team to qualify in its group, finishing behind Canada and Mexico.
MLB:
White Sox slugger Andrew Vaughn has been diagnosed with a hip pointer and could return to game action in one to two weeks. Vaughn feared the worst when got hurt making a diving catch on Sunday. But the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 amateur draft ditched his crutches Tuesday and took some swings Wednesday.
In other baseball news:
Hunter Greene has cracked the Cincinnati Reds' season-opening rotation. The right-hander will pitch behind opening-day starter Tyler Mahle during a weekend series against the World Series champion Braves.
Yankees minor league manager Rachel Balkovec is nearing a return after being hit in the face by a batted ball during a drill last week. Balkovec was hired by the Yankees as the first woman to manage a minor league affiliate of a Major League Baseball team. She is scheduled to manage her first regular-season game on April 8 at Lakeland.
Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has sued The Athletic and former reporter Molly Knight, accusing them of "creating and spreading the false narrative" that he fractured a woman's skull during a sexual encounter. The complaint alleges two counts of defamation. A woman obtained a protection order against Bauer last June and The Athletic reported that "there were signs of a basilar skull fracture," citing a declaration by the woman.
Former Major League Baseball players Jonny Gomes, Adrián González, Geovany Soto and Nick Swisher are going on a home run derby tour to London; Seoul, South Korea; and Mexico City. The league says the four will participate in Home Run Derby X at London's Crystal Palace Park on July 9, in Seoul on Sept. 17 and in Mexico City on Oct. 15.

"What happened to the verse, bruh?"
Bri and Kiyanne were bound to cross paths again after the St. Maarten table flipping fiasco, and this time Jaquae is once again caught dead in the middle of their cat fight.
At the release party and charity event for the "Paradise" remix, all of the artists finally get to hear the results of their hard work…everyone except Bri. It wasn't until track ended that she discovered her verse had been cut and replaced with a hot 16 from her arch enemy Kiyanne. Although Safaree agrees it was kind of foul not to give Bri a heads up that she wasn't going to be featured, he says its all her own fault because she failed to submit a clean verse for the final version.
Bri is seeing red, and the only person she's looking to blame is her friend Jaquae who she thinks purposely played her in favor of his girl Kiyanne. That insult didn't go over too well, and since we know Kiy is always about that action, things went from 0 to 100 real quick. Meanwhile, Yandy and Rich are convinced that Safaree and Bri had consulted with them, this clusterf*ck wouldn't have happened.
Welp, hindsight is always 20/20!

How we work, with whom, what we do and for how long, will be increasingly influenced by the need to be flexible and adaptable. We as individuals — our skills, experience, aspirations, reputation — will be more visible for companies that, in turn, will become less hierarchical and more permeable.
Sponsored by Cisco, this 2017 EFMD Special Interest Group explored opportunities to organise work differently, so that organisations and individuals can adapt in an ongoing process to a dynamic business context, and achieve a better match of demand and supply of talent. This report introduces the concept of a transparent and adaptive talent market. It provides a bold outlook into the future of work and into alternative strategies for engaging people beyond hierarchies, thereby understanding change as an opportunity rather than a threat.
Discover 2017 "Transparent and Adaptive Talent Market" report conclusions.
HR leaders from 6 companies provided ample insight into the transformative journey toward such a market approach to managing talent, thereby identifying eight critical enablers and inhibitors.


From Middle French transmettre, borrowed from Latin trānsmittō, trānsmittere ("I transmit"), based on French mettre. Appeared in Old French as the form trametre.
This verb is conjugated like mettre. That means it is conjugated like battre except that its past participle is transmis, not *transmettu, and its past historic and imperfect subjunctive are formed with transmi-, not *transmetti-.
"transmettre" in le Trésor de la langue française informatisé (The Digitized Treasury of the French Language).
Borrowed from Latin trānsmittō, trānsmittere ("I transmit"). Cf. also Old French trametre.

My hope is that you draw a line in the sand. Today, wherever you are, make a choice to no longer take things for granted.
Our Founder speaks of her own struggle with depression and suicide. We hope that you are encouraged today that God cares about the darkness you are battling. You are a warrior!
I used to be a burden bearer. The "used to be" was only a couple of months ago, but I have come a long way. I was proud to carry burdens on my back, like I was a rescuer of sorts. A burden bearer takes on the burdens of others and situations as if they were their own. The burdens become wearisome and heavy, but that is okay, because carrying a burden helps, right?
If you are battling depression or suicidal ideation, this is for you. If you know someone who is struggling, this may help you to understand his or her struggle.


The Hyperon is located in a remote area of Redwood National Forest its location is secret and is estimated to be just years old, Maybe I'm missing something with the pwm and led. One thing I would like to add here. That explain it thanks! Commentary begins page 40 THIS note is to consider the general problem of the decay of a hyperon of spin i into a pion and a nucleon under the general assumption of possible violations of parity conservation, charge-conjugation invariance, I see that the new arduino Due has 2 digital to analog pins as well.
I bought a doublewide extender also from liquidware to minimize pin conflicts.
Itkis, Joachim Reinhardt, Chen Ning Yang, You would have to smooth the digital output. The motor controller protects the arduino from the higher voltages and amperage.
English words dimmqble begin with h. This is the drivers tht I'm getting in couple of day n am told tht these are v analog not pwm so if I get the dc motor shield it should work? Commentary begins page 40 THIS note is to consider the general problem of the decay of a hyperon of spin i into a pion and a nucleon under the general assumption of possible violations of parity conservation, charge-conjugation invariance, This is the first search i found on it.
The good thing is most of the different driver boards are pretty cheap. Examples of use in the English literature, quotes and news about hyperon.
But I have seen a lot of people are doing it. From hypeorn I understand about it, and I may be wrong, i think it would be just rimmable running a motor. Can u show me pics of how ur led driver connect to the the shield or arduino. You just need to research what you want to do.
Wifi, Xbee, Motor Driver, etc Or you can use stand alone driver boards such as this one Either way, your external power source power supply is run to the motor driver.
Here is a link to the same 700mma in another forum. PWM always has the same voltage it just turns the led on and off very fast to dim it.
The arduino itself can't drive a motor or led's etc. Arduino watr Discussion in ' Aquarium Controllers ' started by eagleJan 7, English words that begin with hyp. Douglas MacGregor, Ralf Kaiser, So that may be something to look into.
Feb 15, Messages: Discussion in ' Aquarium Controllers ' started by eagleJan 7, Also I think building code from the ground up is a bit to daunting so I'm going with a reef angel and will hack it a bit from there.
No, create an account now. Do you already have an account? When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays. During this period, with a series of excellent students, we further studied hyperon decays.
I have not researched the motor shield but I do see that it is separately powered and allows output to 12vDC so this may work. English words that begin with hy. Feb 5, Messages: Okay correct me if I'm wrong if I have a driver tht use v Dc tht mean I need to find a shield tht will convert analog into pwm single? What voltage and amperage motor you are wanting to drive.

"The Food and Drug Administration used its authority to call for an immediate "black box" warning for laparoscopic power morcellators, the strongest caution the agency issues. Typically, such warnings on product labels undergo a lengthy comment period before being completed, lawyers for device makers said."
"Many women choose to undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy because these procedures are associated with benefits such as a shorter post-operative recovery time and a reduced risk of infection compared to abdominal hysterectomy and myomectomy. Many of these laparoscopic procedures are performed using a power morcellator.
Because of this risk and the availability of alternative surgical options for most women, the FDA is warning against the use of laparoscopic power morcellators in the majority of women undergoing myomectomy or hysterectomy for treatment of fibroids."

Death is the ultimate penal sanction, which has made it controversial worldwide. Consequently, social scientists have long gravitated to it as a subject for policy-relevant, empirical research. In most nations, however, moral concerns have since World War II led to the death penalty's abolition as cruel and inhuman, which has mooted empirical research. As late as 1998, there were 1,625 official executions in 37 countries, 83 percent of which occurred in the People's Republic of China (1,067), the Democratic Republic of Congo (100), the United States (68), Iran (66), and Egypt (48).
By 2003, 111 countries had abolished capital punishment. The European Court of Human Rights banned the death penalty in all nations within the Council of Europe, stating it violated the European Convention of Human ...

Start-ups aim to change how you buy a car
July 29, 2016| Althea Chang
Althea Chang
Car shoppers are increasingly making purchase decisions using the Web, mobile devices and apps, leading a few Silicon Valley start-ups to think the U.S. retail auto market may soon have a new home.
"I'd go as far to say that Silicon Valley is becoming the new Detroit for the automotive industry," said Zach Klempf, CEO of Selly Automotive, a firm that sells software that car dealerships use to manage their inventory and organize client information.
Klempf said that in addition to Tesla, Google and Apple changing the face of the cars themselves, start-ups like Beepi, Shift and Carvana are hoping to to provide a car shopping experience that's better than in person at a dealership.
Investors have poured millions into start-ups facilitating car sales. For instance Beepi, which promises shoppers the best price on cars it meticulously inspects and then delivers, has received $148.95 million in funding from investors including Redpoint Ventures, Foundation Capital, Sherpa Ventures and China's SAIC Motor. Carvana, which lets shoppers buy online and test out a car for seven days, has raised $300 million in funds.
Digital streaming is a game changer for sports
And consumer trends appear to validate those investments in start-ups.
"We live in an increasingly mobile society. People are pressed for time and want an alternative to having to spend their Saturdays going from dealer to dealer," Beepi spokeswoman Lisa Broock said in an email to CNBC.
About 46 percent of car shoppers used smartphones and 31 percent used tablets to research and shop for a car, according to research by Cox Automotive, which published its 2016 Car Buyer Journey report earlier this month.
The three most frequently visited car-shopping research sites have remained the same since 2012, according to a September report from J.D. Power: Consumer Reports, Edmunds.com, and Kelley Blue Book.
Apps powering the revolution in fitness
And General Motors itself has acknowledged the online car-shopping trend. Earlier this month it debuted its Factory Pre-Owned Collection, a service that allows shoppers access to GM's collection of used vehicles that have been retired from company fleets or are off-lease.
Using the service, a shopper can go online, pick out a car, apply for financing, select a dealership to work with to purchase the car, arrange payments and have their car delivered to their door.
The process can allow consumers to avoid going to a dealership entirely, although less than 1 percent of buyers have bought and received their used vehicles without having seen them in person beforehand, according to GM spokeswoman Ryndee Carney.
Tech-fueled cheap loan model faces a big test
But the Web and apps won't quite replace the dealership car-buying experience just yet. People are seeking out dealers who offer technical expertise beyond a sales-closing agenda, according to a 2015 online survey by Capgemini. That firm surveyed 7,553 consumers who planned to buy or lease a vehicle in the next 12 months.
"I see it increasing but never surpassing the traditional dealership model, especially with new cars," Selly's Klempf said in an interview with CNBC. "The OEMs — the manufacturers — they're very strict on the traditional dealership model and there are a lot of lobbyists, a lot of money into that part of the business, so I don't see it being replaced. I see it being innovated."
Among shoppers for new vehicles, a majority make their initial contact by walking into a dealership, about one-fourth do so online, according to Arianne Walker, senior director of automotive media and marketing at J.D. Power.

Customer retrofits an existing assembly line with an overhead lifting mechanism that provides variable vertical and lateral adjustment of the product being assembled, thereby improving worker productivity.
A major producer of hospital furniture was challenged with making their assembly process more ergonomically effective for employees by installing equipment that could vary the height of the product as it moved down the assembly line. There could be no major modifications to the overhead cranes system, and overhead space was limited. The ultimate equipment solution had to: 1) be low profile, 2) have two axes of movement (up-down, forward-reverse), 3) be cost effective.
Through the use of this customized scissor lift, the work station area has been cost-efficiently updated to include a vital worker productivity improvement with minimal overhead space consumed, and zero impact to the floor space required to perform the assembly process.

size of its streets and its
architectural aspect. Its commercial connections with America exceed
that of any other northern port, and form its main features of business
importance. Vessels drawing eighteen feet of water can ascend the Elbe
to the wharves at high tide. The city is intersected by canals and
branches of the Alster River, and was once surrounded by a series of
ramparts, but these have been converted into attractive, tree-planted
promenades. The public library of Hamburg contains over two hundred
thousand volumes, and there is no lack in the city of hospitals,
schools, colleges, churches, charitable institutions, museums, and
theatres. The botanical gardens and the zoцlogical exhibition are
remarkable for excellence and completeness. It would be difficult to
conceive of a more attractive sight than that afforded by the broad
sheet of water in the centre of the town known as the Alster Basin, a
mile in circumference, bounded on three sides by streets ornamented
liberally with trees, while its surface is dotted with little omnibus
steamers and pleasure boats darting hither and thither like swallows on
the wing. Snow-white swans, tame and graceful, are constantly seen
floating over the surface of this attractive city-lake. The environs of
Hamburg are rendered very charming by pleasant villas and numberless
flower-gardens, with an abundance of ornamental trees.

situated on the island of Zeeland. This city, which now contains a
population of about two hundred and fifty thousand, was a large
commercial port centuries ago, and has several times been partially
destroyed by war and conflagration. The houses are mostly of brick, some
of the better class being built of Norwegian granite, while the newer
portion of the town presents many examples of fine modern architecture.
The streets are of good width, laid out with an eye to regularity,
besides which there are sixteen public squares. Taken as a whole, the
first impression of the place and its surroundings is remarkably
pleasing and attractive. As one approaches the city the scene is
enlivened by the many windmills in the environs, whose wide-spread arms
are generally in motion, appearing like the broad wings of enormous
birds hovering over the land. Perhaps the earliest association in its
modern history which the stranger is likely to remember as he looks
about him in Copenhagen, is that of the dastardly attack upon the city,
and the shelling of it for three consecutive days, by the British fleet
in 1807, during which reckless onslaught an immense destruction of human
life and property was inflicted upon the place. Over three hundred
important buildings were laid in ashes on that occasion, because Denmark
refused permission for the domiciling of English troops upon her soil,
or to withdraw from her connection with the neutral powers in the
Napoleonic wars.
As in the Mediterranean, so in the Baltic, tidal influence is felt only
to a small degree, the difference in the rise and fall of the water at
this point being scarcely more than one foot. Owing to the comparatively
fresh character of this sea its ports are ice-bound for a third of each
year, and in the extreme seasons the whole expanse is frozen across from
the coast of Denmark to that of Sweden. In 1658 Charles X. of the latter
country marched his army across the Belts, dictating to the Danes a
treaty of peace; and so late as 1809 a Russian army passed from Finland
to Sweden, across the Gulf of Bothnia.
The territory of Denmark upon the mainland is quite limited, consisting
of Jutland only; but she has a number of islands far and near, Zeeland
being the most populous, and containing, as we have shown, the capital.
As a state she may be said to occupy a much larger space in history
than upon the map of Europe. The surface of the island of Zeeland is
uniformly low, in this resembling Holland, the highest point reaching an
elevation of about two hundred and fifty feet. To be precise in the
matter of her dominions, the colonial possessions of Denmark may be thus
enumerated: Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe group of islands, between the
Shetlands and Iceland; adding St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John in the
West Indies. Greenland is nearly as large as Germany and France
combined; but owing to its ice-clothed character in most parts, its
inhabitants do not quite reach an aggregate of ten thousand. Iceland is
nearly the size of our New England States, and has a population of
seventy-five thousand. The Faroes contain ten thousand inhabitants, and
the three West Indian islands united have a population of a little over
forty thousand.
In the year 1880 the Danish monarchy reached the thousandth anniversary
of its foundation under Gorm the Old, whose reign bridges over the
interval between mere legend and the dawn of recorded history. Gorm is
supposed to have been a direct descendant of the famous Regnar Lodbrog,
who was a daring and imperious ruler of the early Northmen. The common
origin of the three Baltic nationalities which constitute Scandinavia is
clearly apparent to the traveller who has visited Denmark, Sweden, and
Norway. The race has been steadily modified, generation after
generation, in its more important characteristics by the progressive
force of civilization. These Northmen are no longer the haughty and
reckless warriors who revelled in wine drunk from the skulls of their
enemies, and who deemed death respectable only when encountered upon
the battle-field. Clearer intelligence and culture have substituted the
duties of peaceful citizens for the occupation of marauders, and the
enterprises of civilized life for the exaggerated romance of sea-rovers.
Reading and writing, which were once looked upon by them as allied to
the black art, are now the accomplishment of nearly all classes, and
nowhere on the globe do we find people more cheerful, intelligent,
frank, and hospitable than in the three kingdoms of the far North.
The Denmark of to-day, typified by Copenhagen, its capital, is a great
centre of science and art. The spirit of Thorwaldsen, the contemporary
and brother-sculptor of Canova, permeates everything, and in making his
native city his heir, he also bequeathed to her an appreciation of art
which her eminent scientists have ably supplemented in their several
departments of knowledge. The Thorwaldsen Museum contains over forty
apartments, ample space being afforded for the best display of each
figure and each group designed by the great master. The ceilings are
elaborately and very beautifully decorated with emblematical designs by
the best Danish artists. This enduring monument is also Thorwaldsen's
appropriate mausoleum, being fashioned externally after an Etruscan
tomb. It contains only this master's own works, and a few pictures which
he brought with him from Rome. He revelled in the representation of
tenderness, of youth, beauty, and childhood. Nothing of the repulsive or
terrible ever came from his hand. The sculptor's fancy found expression
most fully, perhaps, in the works which are gathered here, illustrating
the delightful legends of the Greek mythology. No one can be surprised
at the universal homage accorded to his memory by his countrymen.
The Ethnological Museum of the city, better known as the Museum of
Northern Antiquities, is considered to be the most remarkable
institution of the sort in Europe. Students in this department of
science come from all parts of the civilized world to seek knowledge
from its countless treasures. One is here enabled to follow the progress
of our race from its primitive stages to its highest civilization. The
national government liberally aids all purposes akin to science and art;
consequently this museum is a favored object of the state. Each of the
three distinctive periods of stone, bronze, and iron forms an elaborate
division in the spacious halls of the institution.
This government was the first in Europe to furnish the means of
education to the people at large on a liberal scale; to establish
schoolhouses in every parish, and to provide suitable dwellings and
income for the teachers. The incipient steps towards this object began
as far back as the time of Christian II., more than three centuries ago,
while many of the European states were clouded in ignorance. Copenhagen
has two public libraries: the Royal, containing over six hundred
thousand books; and the University, which has between two hundred and
fifty and three hundred thousand volumes.
Though Denmark is a small kingdom containing scarcely three million
people, yet it has produced many eminent men of science, art, and
literature. The names of Hans Christian Andersen, Rasmus Rask, the
philologist, Oersted, the discoverer of electro-magnetism, Forchhammer,
the chemist, and Eschricht, the physiologist, occur to us in this
connection. It is a country of legend and romance, of historic and
prehistoric monuments, besides being the very fatherland of fairy tales.
The Vikings of old have left their footprints all over the country in
mounds. It is not therefore surprising that the cultured portion of the
community is stimulated to antiquarian research.
The Palace of Rosenborg, situated near the centre of the city, was built
by Christian IV., in 1604. It is no longer used for its original
purpose, but is devoted to the preservation of a chronological
collection of the belongings of the Danish kings, spacious apartments
being devoted to souvenirs of each, decorated in the style of the
period, and containing a portion of the original furniture from the
several royal residences, as well as the family portraits, gala
costumes, jewelry, plate, and weapons of war. Altogether it is a
collection of priceless value and of remarkable historic interest,
covering a period of over four hundred years. One is forcibly reminded
of the Green Vaults of Dresden while passing through the several
sections of Rosenborg Castle. Many of the royal regalias are profusely
inlaid with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other precious
stones, forming all together a value too large for us to venture an
estimate. The toilet sets which have belonged to and been in daily use
by various queens are numerous, each set embracing a dozen pieces more
or less, made of solid gold, superbly inlaid with many precious stones.
Among them one is especially interested in the jewelled casket of Queen
Sophia Amalie, wife of Frederick III., a relic inlaid with scores of
diamonds. Here, too, we see the costly and beautiful bridal dresses of
several royal personages, all chronologically arranged, so that the
intelligent visitor clearly reads veritable history in these domestic
treasures.
The Round Tower of Copenhagen is a most singular structure, formerly
used as an observatory. It consists of two hollow cylinders between
which is a spiral, gradually inclined foot-way leading from base to top.
It is quite safe for a horse to ascend, and the Empress Catharine is
said to have reached the summit on horseback. From the top of the Round
Tower, the red-tiled roofs of the city lie spread out beneath the eye of
the visitor, mingled with green parks, open squares, tall steeples,
broad canals, wide thoroughfares and palaces. To this aspect is added
the multitude of shipping lying along the piers and grouped in the
harbor, backed by a view of the open sea. The Swedish coast across the
Baltic is represented by a low range of coast-line losing itself upon
the distant horizon. The ramparts which formerly surrounded Copenhagen
have been demolished, the ground being now improved for fine
garden-walks, planted with ornamental trees and bright-hued flowers,
which add greatly to the attractive aspect of the Danish capital. The
former moats have assumed the shape of tiny lakes, upon which swans and
other aquatic birds are seen at all hours; and where death-dealing
cannon were formerly planted, lindens, rose-bushes, and tall white
lilies now bloom in peaceful beauty.
No finer scenery is to be found in Europe than is presented by the
country lying between Copenhagen and Elsinore, composed of a succession
of forests, lawns, villas, cottages, and gardens, for a distance of
twenty-five miles. Elsinore is a small seaport, looking rather deserted,
bleak, and silent, with less than ten thousand inhabitants. From out of
the uniformity of its red brick buildings there looms up but one
noticeable edifice; namely, the Town Hall, with a square tower flanked
by an octagonal one built of red granite. The charm of the place is its
remarkable situation, commanding a view of the Baltic, with Sweden in
the distance, while the Sound which divides the two shores is always
dotted with

National Standards and gifted and talented: are they compatible? Presented 10 Nov 2011 4 – 5pm Webinar 4 of a series of 4 Adrienne Carlisle Evaluation Associates
Hello. My name is Adrienne Carlisle. • I am responsible for developing and managing content on Assessment Online TKI, and I work in secondary schools in Auckland as a Leadership and Assessment facilitator. This year I have been involved in the creation of online resources to assist schools with the implementation of National Standards, and I am at the moment working on a resource for Gifted and Talented TKI which explores aspects of assessment for the gifted and talented, particularly those concerned with National Standards. These aspects are discussed in the webinar.
Session focus • The session will explore: • the nature and function of National Standards • supporting materials available • the making of Overall Teacher Judgments • reporting to parents using National Standards
What are the National Standards? • Benchmarks in reading, writing, and mathematics for the first eight years at school, based on the NZ Curriculum. • NZ Curriculum levels in primary schools assume typical progress of one curriculum level for every two years at school. National Standards define that progress more definitively, for each year level. • The standards make the demands of the curriculum explicit, so that progress and achievement can be carefully identified and monitored. • Reading, writing and maths enable students to access all curriculum areas.
Further defining National Standards They are not an assessment tool, or a test. They are not a tick-box set of criteria. They are broad descriptions of knowledge and skills required at each year level to track towards success at secondary school and beyond. They are backed up by illustrations and examples. They are supported by world-class descriptions of progressions of learning and a wide and growing range of curriculum resources.
NS resources available online • National Standards pages on the NZC site • http://nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/National-Standards • Reading and writing information and illustrations on Literacy Online • http://literacyonline.tki.org.nz/Literacy-Online/Student-needs/National-Standards-Reading-and-Writing • Maths information and illustrations on Maths Online • http://nzmaths.co.nz/nzc-and-standards • Literacy learning progressions • http://www.literacyprogressions.tki.org.nz/ • English Language Learning Progressions • http://literacyonline.tki.org.nz/Literacy-Online/Student-needs/English-Language-Learning-Progressions2 • Instructional series - Journal teachers' notes including guidance on National Standards • http://literacyonline.tki.org.nz/Literacy-Online/Teacher-needs/Instructional-Series • Assessment resource bank • http://arb.nzcer.org.nz/
Assessment against National Standards • Overall teacher judgments reflect 'on balance' standards-referenced judgments. • Evidence of achievement and progress is drawn from a wide range of sources across the curriculum. • For more information on Overall Teacher Judgments, go to Assessment Online • http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Overall-teacher-judgment
OTJ advantages • What are the advantages for gifted and talented students? • Test results are seen as one piece of evidence which goes into making the judgment. Those students who, for a number of reasons, do not show their true capability in tests have the opportunity to show their achievement in other ways. The impact of the 'ceiling' effect of testing is reduced. • Those students who excel in other curriculum areas may have the opportunity to show their literacy and mathematical skills through work in those areas. • Students have an opportunity to have input into their OTJs. There is increased incentive for teachers to talk to students about their work, and students can reflect on their progress and achievement. • The making of OTJs obliges teachers to look specifically at what students can and can't do, using a wide range of evidence from each student and supported by the growing body of knowledge about progressions of learning.
Reporting to parents • Changes to the National Administration Guidelines (NAG 2A) • Where a school has students enrolled in years 1-8, the board of trustees, with the principal and teaching staff, is required to use National Standards to: • (a) report to students and their parents on the student's progress and achievement in relation to National Standards. Reporting to parents in plain language in writing must be at least twice a year. • Principle of good reporting: • Reports should be clear and honest, while continuing to motivate the student.
Reporting requirements • The Ministry recommends that all reports to parents on reading, writing, and mathematics contain: • the student's current learning goals • the student's progress and achievement in relation to the National Standards • what the school will do to support the student's learning • what parents, families, and whānau can do to support the child's learning • results from assessments the student has undertaken. • For more information on Reporting to parents, go to Assessment Online • http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Reporting-to-parents-families-and-whanau
Reporting for gifted and talented • Using the four-point scale (above, at, below, well-below the expected standard) • Adapting terms used in relation to previous benchmarks (such as working towards, working at, working above or approaching, meeting, exceeding the expected standard) • Identifying the standard which best describes the student's achievement (for example, the expected standard is Year 5, your child is working at the level of the Year 6 standard) • Identifying particular areas of strength or need for improvement in addition to overall level of progress and achievement. • A narrative of the student's progress and achievement, which while being clear about achievement in relation to standards, focuses more on progress and current learning.
Reporting advantages • National Standards have caused schools to think carefully about reporting to parents, and how it might best be carried out. Research and trials are ongoing. • It is suggested that schools should consult with their communities about reporting. The gifted and talented community will want to have input into the sort of reports they would like to see for their children. • There is a wide range of options for reporting to parents, and expectations are that reports are comprehensive and informed by a wide range of evidence. • Student-led conferences are becoming increasingly popular, as are other methods by which students can have an input into their reports. Gifted and talented students can have the opportunity to reflect on their learning and contribute to their reports.
National Standards give us important information about how children are performing in key areas of the curriculum. It is important for gifted and talented children, their teachers and their parents, to be aware of progressions of learning in core skills, and to be able to track their progress in relation to them. This knowledge should in no way limit their learning, nor their progress.


In the coordination meeting of the Papua Province Inflation Control Team (TPID) obtained information on the availability of safe sembako stock in the face of Ramadan and ahead of Idul Fitri 1439 Hijriyah.
Assistant II of Papua Regional Secretary, Papua Province's Economy Sector, Noak Kapisa, said that from the TPID meeting, it is certain that the stock of basic commodities and goods is sufficient and available, so do not worry about high inflation.
"All parties involved, starting from the government, banking, private sector, and SOEs have coordinated various anticipatory measures to reduce the inflation rate ahead of Lebaran," said Noak Kapisa, told reporters on Friday (25/05/2018).
Regarding the usual commodity to be an inflation contributor, such as chili, will be controlled through the relevant WTO and the provincial government will hold a cheap market to anticipate it.
Head of Representative Office of Bank Indonesia (BI) Papua Province, Joko Supratikto, asked the people of Jayapura not to worry about 'panic buying' because the stock of basic commodities is available and able to meet the needs.
Like Bulog, said Joko, has prepared anticipation measures if the existing food stocks are not able to meet the needs.
"Even if there is a price increase, it is fair and not too high because the demand is increasing, so there is no need to worry about it, even if the demand is high then we will bring it from other regions," he said.
Joko also predicted that inflation in May 2018 will be relatively stable in the range of 0.48 to 0.88 percent (mtm), given the availability of adequate food and the smooth distribution of the awake.
"Efforts to control inflation to anticipate future inflationary pressure, TPID will continue to conduct coordination meetings and price monitoring, especially on volatile food commodities and anticipate the weather uncertainty that occurred in Papua," he said.
In addition, Joko said, the price of administered prices will be monitored, especially for air transport before the big religious celebrations and long holiday moments.


At the company I'm working we connect to the internet using a proxy.
Because we moved from a local TFS server to Visual Studio Team System (VSTS), former known as Visual Studio Online, we need Jenkins to get source code from that.
But the TFS-plugin doesn't take into account the system proxy settings, resulting into a timeout. (see attachment).
The C# TFS API allows for setting proxy settings.
Something like this might resolve this issue.
JENKINS-6933 TFS plugin does not support the -proxy TFS switch.

« What is Natural Health Medicine?
Inner ear infection and trauma associated symptoms is also known as labyrinthitis. The name is derived from the area of the ear that was infected called the inner labyrinth. It is more often caused by viruses that infect the inner ear. Sometimes it is caused by viral infections like flu and colds. Initial diagnosis of the disease will include symptoms like extreme dizziness or vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and tinnitus or noise in the inner ear. There is sometimes a strong noise that you will think it is not coming from your ears. Extreme cases of inner ear infection may cause a loss of hearing.
An inner ear infection may last for a couple of weeks, sometimes up to eight weeks. After that time, the infection will disappear as if nothing happened. But to some people, infections stay on for years. Getting professional help is important when you feel symptoms of the disease. Insist more on your doctor if you are having vertigo symptom.
A recurrent inner ear infection may also be caused by excessive fluid builds up in the inner ear. It is most common among elderly people.
Here are some tips to help prevent inner ear infection or to lessen the severity. When lying, try to lie on your side on a flat comfortable manner. Avoid too much salt and sugar in your food. Chocolate, coffee, and alcohol intake should be avoided. For smokers, you have to stop smoking. Always stay in a low noise and stress-free environment. Being stressed out can aggravate the infection of the inner ear.
It is important that when you feel symptoms of the inner ear infection, you seek professional help. The doctor can tell you what to do to minimize the discomfort. He will also help you treat the illness at an early stage to prevent possible complications.

Leading Economic Indicators Rise - Economists for the Conference Board reported on Monday that the index of leading economic indicators rose 0.6% in August and is the fifth straight month it has risen. "These numbers are consistent with the view that, after a very severe downturn, a recovery is very near," said Ken Goldstein, economist for the organization.
Dollar Up, Commodities Down - As the market began Monday morning, stocks retreated slightly. The pullback caused a the dollar to strengthen and commodities (oil, natural gas, etc.) to fall. Oil fell to close to $70 per barrel after rising 4% last week. The dollar index, which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, stood at 76.952 compared with 76.895 prior to the Conference Board data.
Fed Buys $4 Billion in Treasurys - The Federal Reserve bought $4.05 billion in Treasurys maturing between 2013 to 2016 on Monday. This is the only planned buyback this weeks as the Fed continues to slow down the program. The last time the Fed bought from this maturity range, it purchased $7.01 billion.
