The Template Chooser helps you to be more productive by making your organizational or personal templates available to you right within the Office applications.
As the Template Chooser Add-In is integrated into the Office applications, users will be more successful in discovering the organizational templates as they will find them right within the Office application. That way even infrequent Office users will know where to find the templates they need.
As the Template Chooser supports any number of template libraries organizations can easily segment their templates using different libraries. This will offer users a self-explanatory way of navigating around templates. Additionally, this will often simplify the way access to templates can be organized.
The Template Chooser does just one thing – it allows a user to easily pick the right template. This allowed us to create a clean, super easy and intuitive Add-In user experience.
The nature of the technology used for the Template Chooser (Web Office Add-Ins) allows the Add-In to run across platforms including Windows, Mac, iOS and Office Online.
The Template Chooser is developed so that the experience works across automatically sharing personal settings across devices.
As the Template Chooser is delivered as a service users can benefit from ongoing improvements automatically – this represents innovation as a service.
As updating and discovering templates is made easy and instantly, overall document quality should increase due to users benefiting from easy access to up-to-date templates.
As template change management is simplified and much faster (instant) users will be more willing to return to the official template repository when needing a template instead of working with an old copied version they might have on their device. This will have a positive effect on legal and brand compliance in documents. To further improve on this we offer additional Add-ins like the Designer or Wizard.
As templates are being found more easily and frequently, the adoption of any changes will also increase accordingly.
As the template libraries are created in a declarative way, the organization will have a way to obtain an overview over all Office templates used within the organization. Optionally, personal libraries can also be enabled using OneDrive for Business.
The Template Chooser builds upon Office 365 infrastructure and therefor inherits the existing user and security management from Office 365. The Add-In introduces no new user management layer. Traditional template distribution via packaging will often deploy all templates to all users due to the cost involved for each package – using the Office 365 security management to govern the access to templates will greatly improve security over who can access what templates.
Updating templates is as easy as uploading (drag and drop) a file to SharePoint. In combination with SharePoint offline folders it could be even as easy as dragging and dropping a file into a folder on the local device. If required, customers can optionally use built in Office 365 functionality to establish an approval flow for changes made to templates.
The Add-In architecture is designed in a way so that all template files flow exclusively between the customers Office 365 tenant, the sandboxed Template Chooser Add-In running on the users device and the Office application. No template file is ever transferred to any server or service controlled by officeatwork.
Often IT processes taking care of updating templates can be simplified or even removed as templates can be managed by their business owners directly without involving any IT at all.
The access to the Add-In and the templates can be governed using Office 365 security groups. So onboarding and retiring employees by removing or adding them to security groups will automatically grant or deny them access to the Add-In and the templates. In most cases this already happens for other reasons, reducing the template specific effort for onboarding or retiring users to zero.
There is no need to create a software package and then to deploy that to your PC's in order to install the Template Chooser Add-In on all devices. Modern Web Office Add-ins like the Template Chooser can be deployed using the Office 365 admin portal. Once an Add-In is assigned to a user via the Admin Portal the Add-in will automatically appear in the users Office applications whenever they are signed into the Office application using their organizational account.
Modern Web Add-Ins such as the Template Chooser run as a web page in a protected sandbox within its own memory space de-coupled from the Office application and therefore offer a much more robust experience than any other Add-In architecture of the past.
Modern Web Office Add-Ins such as the Template Chooser represent Microsoft's current Add-In architecture and Microsoft is continuously investing in this architecture. It is also the only cross platform Add-In architecture available in the marketplace today.

Home improvement projects are quite rampant today more than ever before, and so is the availability of qualified home improvement contractors for different projects that complete a home. Regardless of the home improvement project at hand, always ensure whoever works on that kitchen top counter, bathroom, or that underground storage tank is licensed to do that kind of work. You must take the time to verify the authenticity of a service provider, failure to which the project might end up taking so much of your time, money and effort.
This holds true especially for tank services contractors who purport to remove and install storage tanks. Ideally, the four basic requirements of service providers remain true even with storage tank contractors; certification, qualification, experience and insurance. Close family and friends can always be good sources of reputable storage tank contractors they have worked with previously. It is also important to note the fact that there are very many trade certifications which define different home renovation jobs. Take the time, therefore, to verify that whatever is written in the trade certification in your possession is actually what you require for the job at hand. You should know best not to work with a jack of all trades who purports to act on just about any home improvement or renovation project that comes up.
A good storage tank contractor is insured and licensed so it is upon you the homeowner to check the validity of the documents presented to you. Be sure, therefore, to get copies of the license and insurance certificates, and take the time to verify that they are genuine. A good storage tank contractor should actually be more than willing to provide copies; but in case they do not, be sure to ask before you commit yourself. A lot can go wrong during the installation or removal of a storage tank. Basically, a valid storage tank insurance certificate guarantees protection in the event of property damage or damage to the unit itself. The last place to verify the authenticity of a good storage tank expert is with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB provides useful information especially on actual past client review of services of the contractor you are considering. When you follow the tips highlighted above, you can be assured of finding the right contractor for the job.

Useful facts about Agriculture & Farming
January 2, 2021 by Syskool
Farming began around 10,000 B.C. during the First Agricultural Revolution, when nomadic tribes began to farm.
The Industrial Revolution led to faster and more efficient farming technology, which helped usher in the Second Agricultural Revolution from 1700 to 1900 in developed countries.
The Green Revolution corresponds in the late 20th century with the exponential population growth occurring around the world. It includes biotechnology, genetic engineering, chemical fertilizers, and mass production of agricultural goods.
Fruit farming began sometime between 6000 and 3000 B.C. Figs were one of the first cultivated fruit crops.
Plows were invented in the Middle East soon after agriculture began. The earliest plow, called an ard, was probably made from sharpened tree branches. The plow has been cited as one of the most important inventions in the advancement of society.
The Mesopotamians built the first simple irrigation system around 7000 B.C. The earliest large-scale irrigation system was created around 4000 B.C. in southern Russia. This system had canals up to 10 feet across and more than a mile long.
In A.D. 644, Arab scientists developed a windmill to pump water for irrigation. By the year 1000, Arabs introduced fertilizers to enrich farm soil.
In the early 1900s, Mary Isabel Fraser visited China and brought back seeds to New Zealand. She grew the first crop of kiwi in 1910. Today, New Zealand produces 1/3 of the world's supply of kiwi.
Bananas are the number one fruit crop in the world. They are the 4th largest overall crop, after wheat, rice, and corn. They grow in more than 100 countries on farms. India grows more bananas than any other country.
Tractors were invented in the 1880s to pull plows through fields. By the 1920s, all-purpose, the modern tractor had been developed. With different attachments, tractors can be used for plowing, planting, cultivating, mowing, harvesting, and moving soil and heavy equipment.
According to many historians, goats were the first animal to be domesticated. Goats are typically the cleanest of animals. They are much more select feeders than cows, chickens, or even dogs. They typically will not eat food that has been contaminated or that has been on the floor or ground.
The word "farm" is from the Old French ferme, meaning to "rent, lease," and the Latin firmare, "to fix, settle, confirm, strengthen."
The four major biotech crops in 2012 were soybean, cotton, maize, and canola.
In 2012, 17 million farmers in 28 countries planted 170 million hectares of biotech crops.
Most concerns about genetically modified crops fall into three categories: a) environmental hazards, b) human health risks, and c) economic concerns.
Monsanto Company is the leading producing of genetically engineered (GE) seed.
Cyrus McCormick is considered the "Father of Modern Agriculture." He invented the world's first mechanical reaper in 1831, which helped replace manpower for machine power to harvest crops. His invention is often cited as key in the westward expansion of the United States. Jo Anderson, a slave, also worked with McCormick to develop the mechanical reaper.

This man's work inspired me to write. First, a series of fanzines called "A Dozen Points in Time" — a collection of fifty-odd stories and novellas. Then, because my friend Candy Camin said, "You either do this, or I'll kill you," I said hello to the editor of the Quantum Leap tie-in novels… and a year later, I became an officially published author.
So… happy Throwback Thursday. And happy 60th birthday, Scott Bakula. You're one of the kindest, most thoughtful and genuine people I've ever met, and I'll never forget that you inspired me to take my own Quantum Leap.

'A Disease May Be Rare, Hope Should Never Be,' Says Boy with SMARD at Connecticut Rare Disease Day Event
by Larry Luxner

When it comes to rare diseases, one that definitely makes the list is spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress — SMARD, for short.
Hunter Pageau, a 12-year-old boy from North Haven, Connecticut, is one of only 80 people in the world known to have SMARD, a motor neuron disease that often kills affected children before their first birthdays.
On Rare Disease Day, Feb. 28, the spunky seventh-grader melted the hearts of some 200 people gathered at the Connecticut Legislative Office Building in Hartford as he advocated on behalf of himself and other patients with rare, often incurable diseases.

"I have spent at least half my life trying to raise awareness and increase education for those who are often unheard, unknown or forgotten," said Hunter, speaking from his wheelchair and dressed in a yellow shirt and striped tie. "I'm genuinely dedicated to creating positive, lasting changes for those who brave the battle for rare diseases."
Last year, Hunter created a club called YES — which stands for Youth Empowerment Society. This, despite the fact he has had at least 30 surgeries, including a tracheostomy, and cannot breathe on his own.
"Each of you respects the true value of advocacy, which is why I believe we're all here," said the boy, sounding like an elder statesman and earning applause from his audience. "While a disease may be rare, hope should never be."
A place on rare disease research map
Hunter was among more than 20 speakers at a breakfast to honor Rare Disease Day 2018. He was joined by Len Fasano, the Republican president pro tempore of the Connecticut Senate, and by House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, a Democrat.
The event was organized by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), which is based in Danbury, about an hour's drive south of Hartford.

"Here in Connecticut, there's a huge opportunity around Yale and other major medical centers," said NORD's president and CEO, Peter Saltonstall. "The state needs to put the appropriate incentives in place to draw clinicians here. The research and cutting-edge stuff comes out of academic labs — and the likelihood of success clearly increases the more of those you have."
Yet Emily Germain-Lee, MD, director of the Center for Rare Bone Disorders at Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, said it's hard to get funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for any condition — and even harder for rare diseases.
"The companies pitch in and so do philanthropists, but companies pitch in when it's towards the end, and philanthropic foundations help, but it's often small amounts," she said. "What's really needed is state support for research in the early stages. It's also really important to have rare disease centers" that bring in "clinical trials and venture capitalists."
Connecticut seeks to lure clinical trials
Connecticut, population 3.6 million, consistently ranks as the wealthiest of 50 U.S. states in per-capita income. It's home to hundreds of hedge funds, Yale University, Fortune 500 companies like United Technologies, and the insurance giant Aetna.
It's also home to Milford resident Greta Stifel, a patient with a rare cancer called neuroendocrine tumor, also known as NETs.
"Rare Disease Day is significant for all patients and caregivers in the community to let their voices be heard and stories told, so that others can understand the difficulties and roadblocks we face medically, financially, physically and even politically," said Stifel, who along with Aresimowicz is pushing for state legislation requiring continuing medical education and screening for various rare cancers.
Stormy Chamberlain, PhD, an associate professor of genetics at the University of Connecticut in Farmington, works on stem cell research in both Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes, two rare diseases.

"I can't emphasize enough the economic impact of rare disease research," she said, noting the importance of funding from advocacy groups such as the Angelman Syndrome Foundation (ASF) and agencies like NIH. "We must continue to support these seed studies and make Connecticut a friendly place to do business for biotech and pharmaceutical companies. We're becoming a powerhouse for genomic medicine, and these therapeutics are likely to come with a hefty price tag."
Chamberlain added: "This is also an opportunity for insurance companies to develop novel products to serve the community, and Connecticut has a strong insurance industry."
'Help in connecting the dots'
Jim Kubicza, whose 8-year-old son, Cole, has Angelman syndrome, lives in the nearby town of Cheshire and sits on the ASF board of directors.
"I'm here representing the 38 known families of people diagnosed with Angelman in the state of Connecticut," he said. "Our foundation has raised over $500,000 in research grants for Dr. Chamberlain's lab. I'm also here as a father to a child with Angelman. Cole's life depends on seizure medications that cost $1,200 a month."
Kubicza added: "Our son also needs 24-hour supervision, which is difficult when only one parent is home. A home health aide gives us a little assistance, but we had to wait more than three and a half years to get it.
"Cole is currently attending public school in Cheshire and getting him what he needs for a fair education is a constant battle; we need lawyers just to fight for his basic needs. This is a huge expense for already-hurting families, so assistance from our state makes our life bearable."
John Hopper, president of the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation in Greenwich, said Connecticut must create more economic incentives to lure rare disease research to the state — especially considering that it costs $2.5 billion and takes 12 years, on average, to develop a new drug.
"There are 7,000 rare diseases, so the money is out there," Hopper told lawmakers in attendance. "We're not asking you for money, but for help in terms of connecting the dots."
