Pinkhas (Phillip Berliner)
(Written by his son-in-law Chaim Freedman in "The Pen and the Blade, Super Family" 1992).
Pinkhas (Phillip) Berliner was born in London, England in 1916, the youngest son of immigrants from Lodz, Poland. He attended Yeshivah Etz Chaim in London where he learned under the prominent Lithuanian leaders of English ultra-orthodoxy at the time, Rabbis Eliya Lopian and Eliyahu-Eliezer Dessler. He was such an excellent student that his teachers selected him to join a group which went to study at the recently established Gateshead Yeshiva in 1931 under Rabbi N.D.Landinsky.
In the mid 1930's a proposal was made by the rabbis of Etz Chaim and Gateshead to further the higher religious education of English Yeshiva students at prominent eastern European Yeshivot. Pinkhas Berliner was selected to join a group of about ten students who went to Mir Yeshiva in Poland (now Belarus) and to Telz (Telsiai) Yeshivah in Poland. The group included Rabbi Nakhum-Zev (Velvel) Dessler, Josh Chinn, Rabbi Shlomo Davis, Rabbi Koppul Rosen, Rabbi Chaim Gutnik, Montie Moore, Rabbi Shmuel Bloch, Rabbi Dovber Silver and others who became leading orthodox rabbis and scholars, mainly in the United states. Details are to be found at http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~rkimble/Mirweb/YeshivaStudents.html .
Pinkhas Berliner studied in Mir under the renowned Rosh Yeshivah Rabbi Eliezer-Yehudah Finkel and the Mashgiakh Rabbi Yekhezkel Levinstein. On the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the foreign students fled Poland, by order of the Rosh Yeshivah, the day before the Germans invaded Poland. For several months the group wandered backwards and forwards through Latvia and Estonia since they had inadequate papers. During this period of extreme physical deprivation and exposure. Pinkhas's health suffered irreparably. Eventually visas were obtained through a Jewish member of the Latvian parliament, Rabbi Mordekhai Dubin, and the group settled in Lithuania at Telz Yeshivah under the soon to be martyred Rabbi Avraham-Yitskhak Bloch.
After nine months in Telz, in February 1940 Pinkhas rejoined Mir Yeshiva which had been relocated in Keidan, Lithuania. There he was finalizing his studies to qualify for Semikhah (rabbinical ordination) when the Soviet Army invaded the Baltic States. The Yeshivot were constantly harassed by the Communist regime and as the Germany army hovered in nearby Poland, the future looked ominous.
The British Government finally arranged a means of evacuating British and other foreign nationals. Travelling on visas issued by the famous Japanese consul in Kovno (Kaunas) Sugiharo, the group was sent eastwards via the Trans Siberian Railway to Vladivostok. From there they went to Hong Kong but were unable to continue to America due to hostilities at sea. Instead the group travelled to Brisbane, Australia. After several months of futile attempts to establish a Yeshivah in Melbourne, most of the group made their way to America and were amongst the founders of Mir, Telz and Lakewood Yeshivot. Some returned to England after the war.
Those remaining in Australia were Rabbi Dovber Silver, Rabbi Chaim Gutnik and Pinkhas (now Phillip) Berliner. Although he had a visa for America and had been accepted to Yeshiva Mesifta Torah Vadaat in New York, Phillip remained in Australia. He taught briefly in Sydney until he went to Melbourne in 1941 to marry Edna, daughter of Rabbi Yitskhak Yaakov and Lena Super. They had three daughters Mirel-Shulamit (Muriel) Kleerekoper, Leah-Nekhama (Lena) Pose and Sheindel (Jane) Freedman.
In order to support his family Phillip learnt Shekhitah and joined his father-in-law at this arduous vocation. He also taught religious classes for the United Jewish Education Board and was assistant Chazan at the St.Kilda Hebrew Congregation. In 1946 he was granted the title "Reverend" by Rabbi Jacob Danglow in recognition of his services to the congregation.
Phillip Berliner was widely respected throughout the community. He approached his vocation with a deep sense of dedication and his sincere enthusiasm for Judaism inspired his students, in particular a small group that studied with him. One of these, Professor Louis Waller wrote to Phillip's daughter Jane Freedman:
"Your father was a generous teacher in terms of time and energy. He drilled us rigorously in formal Hebrew grammar, introducing me to the patterns and paradigms which became ingrained. Though he was not a scientific linguist, he was very knowledgeable and very determined that our foundations in structure would be well laid. He invited Max Jotkovitz, Sonja Black and me to your home in Crimea Street on Saturday afternoons in the latter part of 1948 and 1949 for revision of the set books and lightening like parsing, declension and conjunction. Your mother would give us tea and cake to sustain us, and your grandfather viewed us with a bemused but benevolent eye. In addition to the biblical set books, grammar and history, we also studied a tractate of Mishnah, Baba Batra."
Berliner's work as a Shokhet was very taxing, both from the long work hours and the nature of the work. As recalled by Waller: "I asked your father about his work as a Shochet. He showed me his Khalef (blade) which he carried in a case in his breast pocket. I have an impression, but not a strong one, that he found his work in the slaughter house not only physically but also mentally very demanding."
Reverend Berliner had regular duties to perform for the St.Kilda synagogue. Aside from services, in particular reading the Torah and teaching, he had to attend weddings, funerals and other occasions in the life of the congregants. In this way he built up a wide circle of people who held him in respect for his mild manner and friendly disposition. Professor Waller, in a memorial to Rabbi Danglow (St.Kilda Hebrew Congregation Chronicle, March 1981), mentions Berliner both as his teacher and paints a picture of the Bimah at the St.Kilda synagogue whilst Rabbi Danglow conducted the Neilah service:
"It is Neilah. On the Almemar stand Reverend Kowadlo and Mr. Berliner – as always. Each is enveloped in white Kittel and woolen Tallit. But both are at the back of the Almemor, in their respective corners. At the desk stands the Rabbi. He is davening Neilah."
Berliner's communal duties were not without considerable aggravation, as was common among the Melbourne synagogues, internal politics often claimed innocent victims, in this case Phillip Berliner. His health was never the best, he suffered severely from asthma, and the machinations of several members of the Board of his synagogue wounded him deeply.
On Shabbat, 20th Kheshavn 5720, November 21, 1959 Phillip Berliner died suddenly following a severe asthma attack. The entire community was shocked that this man, beloved by so many, had been struck down in his prime at the age at the age of forty-three.
Phillip's widow Edna was faced with the awesome task of bringing up their three daughters.

drinking enjoying my coffee earlier and typing the post I began thinking about whether I should bring some routine to the week. Something to look forward to…
Each Saturday I am in Kingston as I have to deliver eldest to work, and usually have something I want to do. Even if its grabbing a coffee while on my own. I haven't really done much with the 'Saturday gratitude' (sorry Judith) posts but Saturdays are my day when I can do something similar with my own twist.
Alfresco Saturdays – given my penchance for chillin' with my cup of caffeine at my favourite coffee shop (occasionally with my favourite man, when he's home). A simple post of a picture and few words. A welcome to the weekend 🙂
The posts centred on Kelly's postcard wall have proven popular, but there is no 'P' day of the week for postcard alliteration, so Travel Tuesday might fit the bill (this is also the day hubby usually flies out.) and be the weekly overview of postcard arrivals.
Food Friday can be an overview of anything new I've made and tested during the week or a mini review of a cafe/pub/restaurant we've been too. Hubby and I do lunch out the day he gets home, which is a Thursday currently, so that works. Has anyone tried garlic crusted tuna lasagne for instance??
That might be enough as I have to make sure I get these into routine, or more importantly, remembering to actually do them.
Is there anything you would like me to write about, set day or otherwise, or do you like my random ramblings as they are?
Jen 🙂

There are not a lot of times in which we get to write a headline like "Naked Cannibal Zombie Attacks Man In Miami" and it is actually true. Score one for sensationalistic journalism! On a serious note, this is a grisly story so if you have a week stomach you may want to go somewhere else on the internet instead of reading this.
On Saturday afternoon in Miami, a police officer shot and killed a naked man who was eating the face of another man after he refused to cooperate. The story that you are about to read has mutilation, cannibalism, and death. That's your last warning...now for the story:
According to the Miami Herald:
The officer...approached and saw that the naked man was actually chewing the other man's head, according to witnesses. The officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he continued the assault, the officer shot him.
The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.
CBS Miami had posted an update later in the day:
|Armando Aguilar, who heads the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he has spoken with the officer who responded. Aguilar said the officer saw what the man was doing, and ordered him to stop. He said the man growled at the officer, and then returned to his meal.
Aguilar said the man ate his victim's nose and eyeballs.
The officer then used his service weapon and shot the man, Aguilar said, but the gunshot had no effect.
Other sources confirmed that the man refused to obey, and continued his attack. Aguilar said the officer had no choice but to keep shooting until the attacker was dead.
Investigators sharing limited details about the confrontation, saying only that the two men were fighting and the officers felt they had no choice but to take deadly force."
"With the attacker dead, lying nude on the pavement, officers and paramedics were able to get to his victim and rush him to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police sources say the man had virtually no face and was unrecognizable.
Now, there is nothing funny about this story. A man ost his life to a horrible attack. But while the attack was gruesome, that has not stopped zombie fanatics from speculating that this is the beginning of the zombie-apocalypse.
Here are the facts about the case and you can decide for yourself:
- A man was eating the face of another person.
- The man growled at the officer who tried to stop the attack.
- It took multiple bullets to stop him.
- A man was eating the face of another person.
Yes, I repeated one of those. But it is pretty much the strongest point for the pro-zombie-apocalypse crowd. I am no expert, but I've watched enough episodes of The Walking Dead to have a general feel of what a zombie would look like, and there is a pretty strong case here.
Police later issued a statement speculating that the attacker, Rudy Eugene, was suffering from "cocaine psychosis." When that happens, the people "suffering" from it act crazy and feel an intense heat which makes them want to take off their clothes. That makes sense, but most pro-zombie people will just call it a coverup. The truth is out there!
Full disclosure: we don't think that this is the beginning of a zombie outbreak. But, just in case, you may want to brush up on the Zombie Survival Maps for the US.
There is also a video from a security camera near the attack below. You can not see the whole scene, but it is still disturbing.

One of the questions that needs to be answered in every state with marijuana legalization is whether marijuana contracts be enforceable in state court. If an activity is legal under state law but illegal under federal law, courts need to determine whether contracts involving the activity are for an "illegal" purpose and thus void under standard contract law. Courts in Colorado and California have come down on both sides of the issue, and each state's court system will need to grapple with this issue. Arbitration may be a workaround for cannabis businesses.
Last week the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, upheld Tom Brady's four game suspension given to him by the NFL commissioner who was acting as an arbitrator. Because the NFL and the NFL Players Union have a collective bargaining agreement, the arbitration is governed by the federal Labor Management Relations Act. In its ruling, the 2nd Circuit held that arbitration awards under the LRMA cannot be overturned because the arbitrator made mistakes of fact or even of law. The only way arbitration awards could be vacated or overturned is if the arbitrator didn't act within the scope of the collective bargaining agreement.
Even when you don't have a collective bargaining agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act gives courts very limited rights in overturning or vacating arbitral awards. In Hall Street Associates v. Mattel, the Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the only allowable reasons to overturn an arbitration judgment were those listed in the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 10 and 11. After the Hall Street Associates decision, for example, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals held that a lower court could not overturn an arbitration decision even where the arbitrator's decision exhibited "manifest disregard for the law."
So the question isn't necessarily whether state law, as determined by the highest court in a state, determines if marijuana contracts should or should not be enforced. The question may be whether the contracts are going to be enforced by arbitration, assuming the contracts call for arbitration. Because in that circumstance, even if state law says otherwise, courts are very likely to uphold and enforce arbitral awards.
Contracts that use arbitration as their dispute resolution mechanism usually will select an arbitration association to administer arbitration or will say that the parties have to agree on one to three arbitrators. The chances that an arbitration association would determine that a contract is wholly unenforceable in arbitration because marijuana is illegal is a lot lower than a state court making that call, if only because the arbitration association wants the business.
Our cannabis business lawyers have met with many arbitrators and at least one arbitration society looking to market their services as arbitrators for cannabis industry disputes. Of course these individuals and associations are not going to toss out all marijuana contracts — they'd be out of business. If you're a cannabis business representative, you have to strongly consider arbitration — it may be the safest way to ensure your contract is enforced. And if you write in your agreement that your arbitration should be kept confidential, it can also be a great way to keep your disputes private as well.

WEST VALLEY CITY -- A computer encrypted by Josh Powell may hold answers in the disappearance of his wife, Susan Cox Powell, and a private investigator tells FOX 13 they are closer to finally cracking it.
"This is the most hopeful lead we've had yet in the process of trying to find Susan," Rose Winquist, an investigator helping Susan's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, said in an interview Wednesday.
Utah-based Decipher Forensics has been trying to decrypt Josh Powell's personal computer, which was seized by police in the midst of the high-profile missing persons investigation.
"No one, especially in 2009, would put that kind of encryption on their computer unless they were trying to hide something," Winquist said.
After several years of trying, Winquist said they have made progress.
"We have broken through one level of the encryption. That's hugely significant," she told FOX 13.
However, the computer still has a heavier level of encryption with more work still to do.
Susan Cox Powell vanished from her West Valley City home in 2009. Her husband, Josh, was initially declared a "person of interest" in her disappearance and ultimately, a suspect. After years of scrutiny, he killed himself and the couple's children in an explosion in 2012.
Susan has never been found.
While investigating the missing persons case, West Valley City police seized Josh Powell's electronics, which were encrypted to such a level authorities could not crack it. When police declared the case cold several years ago, Winquist said the Cox family requested a copy of the hard drive.
Finally decrypting it could give them access to Internet search history, emails and other things. Winquist said she hoped it might help the Cox family finally get some answers about what happened to her.
"I think Chuck and Judy are very hopeful that this could be the breakthrough we all are hoping for," she said.
West Valley City police have declared the case "cold," but a detective remains assigned to it and occasionally receives tips, said department spokeswoman Roxeanne Vainuku.
"The case is still being actively investigated," she said.
Even with Josh Powell dead, Vainuku said police would like to see what is on that hard drive.
"We'd like to find some information that maybe implicates someone, shows some involvement by someone," she told FOX 13. "Particularly what we'd really like to find on that hard drive is any information that leads us to a body."
Winquist said she welcomes resources to keep working on decryption and tips to help in the ongoing investigation into Susan Cox Powell's disappearance. She can be reached here.

What's the most important thing you'll do this year?
We easily overwhelm ourselves by idealistic aspirations. Good intentions lead to unrealistic expectations which lead to disappointment. Let's keep it simple this year.
A Simple Focus for This Year
If God wanted you to do only one thing this year, what would it be? What is the most important thing you could work on?
Paul gave Timothy instruction that applies to us today:
"Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come." (1 Timothy 4:8, NLT)
God's Word doesn't deny the benefits of self-discipline and physical training – the usual focus of New Year's resolutions. In fact, Paul admits these are good things. But there is a better thing, a greater discipline, a more beneficial focus with eternal rewards – the pursuit of godliness.
Faithfulness is Not Perfection
Growing in godliness is a practice. It's not something we'll master and check off our to-do list as complete. It's not a New Year's resolution we'll look back on next December 31st and say, "I achieved this." It's ongoing, a lifelong pursuit.
We must shift our focus from the worldly mindset of success and instead take a biblical perspective of faithfulness. Faithfulness doesn't mean perfection. Take a look at the men and women highlighted in the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11. They were imperfect. They all failed – some with epic and truly calamitous results. But God honors them as faithful examples for us to follow.
You're going to fail. You're going to sin and mess up and hurt others and fall short. You're human. We all are. There's no getting around it.
So what's the solution? How do we practice godliness when we're so far from God's standard?
How to Live a Life of Faithfulness
We must live in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We work at growing in our understanding of who Jesus is and what He's done for us and how that impacts our lives daily, moment by moment.
The gospel first acknowledges our need of a Savior. We are sinners. We are imperfect. This is something we're reminded of on a daily basis. It's why we're drawn to the idea of New Year's resolutions – we want to be better because we know we're so far from the best we could be.
We are completely incapable on our own of attaining the level of holiness God requires. The good news is that Jesus came, paid the price for our sin, and made a way for us to enjoy unbroken fellowship with God. When Jesus was resurrected and ascended back to the right hand of the Father, He sent us the Holy Spirit to dwell within us.
How to Dwell in Christ
God's Word is the means by which He has chosen to communicate with us. It is through the pages of the Bible we come to understand who He is and we see ourselves as He sees us. It is living and active, filled with the power to transform us from the inside out.
The deeper we immerse ourselves into God's Word, the more our hearts and minds are filled with Truth that spills out into every aspect of our lives. It impacts who we are, how we speak, how we think, how we act, and even where we go.
We don't become godly by trying harder. We become godly by spending time with God.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:4-5, ESV)
The most important thing you'll do this year is to dwell in God's Word – to abide in Christ. If you are going to accomplish anything this year, it cannot be apart from Christ. If you are to be a faithful, fruitful follower of Jesus, it starts by connecting with Him.
Does the idea of developing a habit of diligent immersion in the Bible discourage you?
- I don't feel like reading the Bible.
- I don't have time to read the Bible.
- Bible reading plans are too overwhelming for me.
- Bible studies don't work for my learning style.
If you can relate to any of those sentences, I'm delighted to share something precious with you. If you can't relate to any of them and are instead eager to dive in and desire to go deeper in God's Word, I have something to share with you, too.
DWELL: 360 Days in God's Word
Dwelling in the Word of God requires discipline. We need to be consistent, and being consistent requires that we commit to something that's manageable. It helps to have a plan so that you know what to read each day, but not just any plan will work for everyone.
I shared my criteria for a good Bible study in a previous post. I highly recommend clicking through to read it there because, once again, I have found another study that meets all my criteria.
Living By Design Ministries has put together a free online Bible study for the entire year. It's a "vibrant, life-giving 360-degree view of what God has done for us, what He is doing in us, and what He wants to do through us."
This study is beautifully designed and thoughtfully laid out to help us meditate on and digest God's Word throughout the day (no matter what your day might look like). Everyone can manage the short daily passages and the simple format of the study, created to benefit all types of learning styles.
DWELL360 consists of monthly emails including a devotional from the book of Galatians, a 30-day Scripture reading plan with a brief passage to read each day (only 1-2 verses), shareable graphic, workbook, and digital planner.
This online Bible study is packed with free printable resources to help you succeed at dwelling in God's Word this year. The welcome pack and printable monthly resource kits include an assortment of helpful tools including:
- Strategy & Goal-Setting Pages
- Reflection Question Pages
- Notes & Journaling Pages
- Printable Monthly Reading Plan
- Printable Monthly Progress Chart
- Daily & Weekly Planner Pages
- Appointment Pages & To-Do List
- And so much more…
All of the planner pages are undated so you can print and use them as often and as long as you would like! It's not necessary to use all the resources – you can use as much or as little of the study as you want or need.
If you want to maintain a diligent habit of dwelling in the truths of God's Word daily, I highly recommend this study!

What Happened to Chelsea Handler's Vodka?
The titular spirit of the comedian's book disappears from the title of the spin-off sitcom, and the explanations seem forced.
The name of Chelsea Handler's book is Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. The name of the sitcom spin-off, in which Handler stars for NBC, is "Are You There, Chelsea?"
But the comedian insists the show's title wasn't changed for what The Washington Post's TV columnist Lisa de Moraes obviously thinks is the reason: that NBC didn't actually want the name of a type of liquor in the title of its show about a wise-cracking, hard-drinking lead character.
And Handler herself, de Moraes noted this weekend, isn't exactly keeping her story straight about the name change.
On a press call late last year, it was the network's squeamishness that was to blame:
In December, on an NBC-arranged phone conference call with reporters, bloggers, and such, Handler was asked about the change and explained, "you can't put 'vodka' in the title for network purposes, so I thought 'Are You There, Chelsea?' was a funny play on the fact that I'm not playing myself."
Fast forward a month, and spin had set in. The real reason for the name change, Handler now insists, is deference to the diverse tastes of potential viewers: "Not everybody likes vodka, unbeknownst to me," is the star's newest explanation.
De Moraes ensures that readers note her own skepticism of this explanation.
"So it had nothing to do with NBC not wanting to maybe promote drinking a bit too much in the title of the show? Because it was originally announced as the full [book] title...last spring," the reporter persevered.
At which point Handler said that 'Are you There, Chelsea?' is a play on 'What am I thinking?' and added, "This is not cable – it's [broadcast] network. We wanted to have a broader appeal and make people feel like they could be interested in watching the show, whether or not they have as big of a drinking problem as I do."
So, squeamishness, then. As explained in the first place.
Just watch what you say about Serbia, please.

PARKING LIFTSStriker Lift Systems Inc. is an authorized dealer and solutions consultant for Vasari and Park Plus car parking and storage systems. We can help you with all of your parking lift needs.
Residential and Commercial Applications:
What is a parking lift?
Parking lifts help with vehicle storage, display, and multi-vehicle parking management. If you need more space to store your vehicle, the best solution is a parking lift to lower it out of the way or stack one on top of the other.
There are many different types of parking lifts and deciding on the best solution can be difficult. Striker Lift Systems Inc. has specialists standing-by ready to help you make the right decision so you can get the most out of your investment.
There are three important considerations you should take before you choose a parking lift solution:
The primary difference between a cheap parking lift and a high quality parking lift is safety. Inexpensive alternatives generally have less safety features and less robust warranties on their parts and labor. Always select a well known and established manufacturer for something as potentially dangerous as a parking lift.
A parking lift is a major investment and it is extremely important to find the best solution for your application. Make sure you have thoroughly analyzed your needs before you select a parking lift. That way you can identify the features you need and the ones you don't, and you can use that knowledge to find the best solution for you. It will also help you communicate better during the planning and manufacturing process.
Parking lifts are complex pieces of equipment and they require maintenance, repairs, and even upgrades throughout their lifecycle. It is important to take all of that into account when you consider the lifetime cost of owning a parking lift. A premium manufacturer with years of experience building and maintaining lifts will ultimately provide the best value.
We work with two of the best lift manufacturers in the world to offer a wide selection of both home garage lifts and commercial parking systems.
Residential Parking Lifts
For high-end residential applications, you need Vasari. Vasari is the premier solution for underground vehicle storage. There is no other product that can match the quality and versatility, which is why we love it. We also love that Vasari is made by Autoquip, a world leader in commercial and industrial lifting solutions for over 65 years. This helps us ensure our customers receive a product with an excellent warranty and support for parts and upgrades well into the future. If the real Bruce Wayne were to build his bat cave, he would use Vasari.
Commercial Parking Lifts
We design solutions for parking professionals and commercial developers who need to reduce their parking footprint so they can get the most out of every square inch. We work with Park Plus High Density Vehicle Storage to deliver custom parking solutions that meet your business objectives. Park Plus began building parking solutions in 1969, and now they're a world leader in both automated and mechanical vehicle storage and parking systems. They can build solutions for any commercial parking application, and we can make sure your project is a success.
Expert Project Management
Striker Lift Systems Inc. is committed to your success. We help you avoid common pitfalls and capitalize on efficiencies. Don't go at it alone. Striker works directly with the manufacturer to provide solution design and project management services at no extra cost to you. We provide this service to the manufacturer so they can worry about building great products, and we can worry about helping customers experience and love those products.

Legal / Solicitors
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO), takes over where SEO leaves off. SEO helps both search engines and potential claimants find you, but once on your website your CRO strategy needs to take over and help convert those visitors to leads and those leads into claimants. There are numerous ways you can increase conversion rates but below you'll find three primary ways you can increase your firm's.
P.S. Download our legal CRO podcast and learn how to build a successful CRO strategy today!
Your website visitors are made up of a whole range of individuals with different needs and wants. For example for a personal injury firm's site which receives 3,000 visits each month, a percentage of those visits will be prospective claimants comparing your services to another firm's, some will be doing research for the future, others will be competitors or people looking for employment and the rest are other businesses wanting to sell you something. So it's important that alongside your well defined claimant persona that you segment up your visitors into those that match that persona, other potentially useful personas and those that aren't of any use to you. This allows you to focus on the key visitors that you can actually help move along their journey, by providing smart content which is only possible through precise segmentation.
Everyone knows just how important content is to search engines, helping you to rank higher and for specific keywords, but that doesn't mean your content is going to be right for your visitors. But as part of your CRO strategy and after segmenting your visitors you can clearly understand who your potential claimants are and why they visit your firm's website. This allows you to create smart content which can be targeted and positioned to increase conversions due to naturally developing a visitor's journey. Examples can be as simple as tailoring email campaigns to those that have taken specific action on your website like downloading an eBook, or if your marketing software is advanced enough you can collect data on the content a single user views and therefore have personalised further content and actions presented to them each time they visit your website.
Finally test, test and test again! When designing your CRO strategies you'll need to test everything from design aspects like colours, fonts and spacing to the best way to navigate your firm's website and what type of content will convert best. Here it's important to utilise A/B testing for the whole range of CRO tactics you wish to run, as well as conducting surveys to get feedback on the performance and usability of your firm's website from your ideal claimants.
So there you have it three ways, that if you put in to practice will see you have some great conversion rate optimisation results for your legal firm's website. Why not check out our blog: 10 things to avoid, to make sure your users have a great website experience

Do you love the sight of beach? Every one wants to include the visit to beach in their vacation [Beach vacation]. Beaches trip include swimming, surfing and other sea games. But, the sight of the shark is very terrifying, which no one wants to experience. Before visiting any beach, you will forget about the danger levels and just think about the beach enjoyment [Wonderful beach trips].
There are many unrecognized beaches in the world which have a frequent traffic of sharks. But, there are many popular beaches which have frequent visits of the sharks. These beaches are very popular and famous for its swimming, surfing and other water games.
Dangerous shark infested beaches:
Do you love to swim with the sharks? Swimming is the favorite pass time for the tourists who visit beaches. If you feel threatened at the beach how you will enjoy your vacation? So, when selecting a beach, see that the beach is safe and does not have any shark threats.
Sharks do not know the difference between the food and the human being. Any thing moving in the water is understood as food by the sharks. The famous shark infested beaches are
New Smyrna beach, Florida- United States: This is known as the shark capital of the world beaches. This beach has the largest population of the black tip sharks, tiger sharks and spinner sharks. The large population of the sharks is due to the large population of people who love to swim in the beach. The laid-back atmosphere at the beach is the main reason of tourist population and this is the reason for traffic of the sharks.
Gansbaai, South Africa: This is a small fishing village near to the Cape Town. This is also known as the 'shark's alley' and have the largest population of the white sharks. The shark's population was consistent for many years and still continuing. Many ocean freaks love to adventure in this sea. Therefore, they get into the cages and are left into the sea. They have a face-to-face look at the sharks which roam in the sea.
Kahana, west Maui, Hawaii- United States: 40 species of sharks are inhabited in this sea. You can see abundant number of nurse sharks and tiger sharks in this sea where they have made this sea waters as their homes. Sharks do not tend to attack the humans directly, but when humans surf or swim in the ocean water, they are mistaken as food source and attack them.
North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii- United States: The North shore has recorded the highest number of the sharks and its attacks. Oahu is recorded as the second highest number of attacks in the Hawaii Island chain. This North Shore has the largest amount of sharks that the tourism development has included a separate section for viewing the sharks. Bold and brave ocean freaks can get into the cages for leaving into the sea for having bird's eye view of the shark.
Brisbane – Australia: This is the area where the sharks come to the shore for giving birth to the baby sharks. You can see the aggressive bull sharks which come to the shore for giving birth. The area is well known for the sharks and its attacks. East coast is famous for the shark encounters, while the southern coast is famous for the victims.

This was what Cheondung said about the last 5 years of activity as a singer from the group MBLAQ.
The fashion magazine SURE just released the photos of now-turned actor Cheondung for their April issue.
With his real name Park Sanghyun, he will begin acting in the MBC weekend drama airing this April "Make a Woman Cry" as the male lead Song Chang-eui's son Hyunseo. (A/N: Previous reports have been nephew.) To be able to act as a weak/fragile character, he is working hard to adjust his current diet and stand before the camera with a look that has a sense of darkness.
This is not Cheondung's first time acting. Having just entered into a new agency and with a fresh determination to begin the first step, he worked on the pictorial and interview with the look and intention of seriousness.
There is a part of Hyunseo that is similar to my real personality, the part that is fragile and that feels sadness is similar, but the way of speaking is different and that I am currently studying on. It's not easy to do.
He told us that he treasures the three characters of the name MBLAQ (엠블랙), thinking of the five years of activity as a "golden age," while expressing the openness to the idea of change.
Check out Cheondung's cool interview and photoshoot on the April issue of SURE.

A's Gray could be one of 2014's breakout pitchers
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- It sure is good to see live baseball once again.
Oakland A's outfielder Josh Reddick put on a show in his first game of the spring, making a pair of wall-climbing catches to rob the Giants' Michael Morse of not one, but two home runs. It's a great sign that yes, baseball is back.
Of course, fantasy owners aren't too concerned about defense -- although A's manager Bob Melvin said after the game that he counted six "plus" defensive plays on the afternoon. And that kind of defense -- coupled with the A's cavernous home park -- is great news for fantasy owners who draft Oakland pitchers.
Perhaps the best one of the lot this season is 24-year-old right hander Sonny Gray.
After being called up in August, Gray was a key contributor for the A's down the stretch. He went 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 10 starts and held opposing hitters to a .219 average.
"My first start, I gave up a home run to (Toronto's Jose) Bautista. Obviously it wasn't a very good pitch, but at the same time he hit it so hard," he recalls. "It was a line drive right up the middle. I thought Coco (Crisp) might actually catch it but it just sailed over the fence. I said, 'Wow.'"
He recovered from that just fine and pitched even better in the postseason, going head-to-head twice with Tigers ace Justin Verlander and more than holding his own.
I asked Gray about his pitching style and what he does to get better. First off, he's not a sabermetric thinker, his Vanderbilt education notwithstanding. He doesn't really rely on video very much either. A's pitching coach Curt Young does that heavy lifting. Gray says his strength is taking the instruction and committing what he needs to do to his muscle memory.
He doesn't have a complicated plan on the mound either: "Don't really back down from anyone. Don't try to do too much. Try to go after guys," he says. "No matter who it is, I'm going to come at you and give you my best stuff."
As a fantasy owner, you have to like that mentality. And you can't argue with the results, especially the 9.4 K/9 rate he had in in 64 innings last season. Beginning the season in the rotation and pitching 180 innings, that comes out to 188 K's over a full season.
I took Gray in the 11th round of the LABR Mixed draft as my third starting pitcher -- and was very pleased to get him there. Look for him to be one of this season's breakout performers.
Sonny Gray dazzled down the stretch. Now he's ready for a full season in the rotation

Nonfiction Kids Books
Magic School Bus series by Joanna Cole (Series Wall)
These popular series is actually three series, each of which uses a fictional framework (a wacky teacher uses a magic school bus to take her class on field trips) to teach scientific facts--these titles are an excellent way of encouraging non-fiction reading by children who prefer, or just have little experience with, non-fiction. The author was one of the first to incorporate a true blend of text and illustration in non-fiction writing. Despite the pictures, the text of the original series is actually written at a "chapter book level" and is especially good for visual learners. Joanna Cole has also added two more "traditionally structred" magic school bus books: "The Magic School Bus Chapter Books" and the "Magic School Bus Readers."
National Geographic Science Chapters
This chapter book series is a good reading choice for children who are fans of Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" and other science and nature television programs. This series covers a range of topics; each title is located at the call number for its topic. Here are a the locations of a few popular titles to get you started:
Into the Earth: The Story of Caves by Meredith Costain (J 551.44 COS)
Mysteries of the Sea by Marianne Morrison (J 551.46 MOR)
Venus Flytraps, Bladderworts, and. . . by Moica Halpern (J 580 HAL)
Serengeti Journey: On Safari in Africa by Gare Thompson (J 599 THO)
Amazon Journey: Cruising the Rain Forest by Gare Thompson (J 918 THO)
National Geographic Kids Readers series
Similar to the National Geographic Science Chapters described above, but written at lower reading levels (the titles in the series are labeled with different reading levels). The series covers a range of titles, each of which is at the dewey number for its subject; some of the more popular titles are listed here to get you started.
Weird Sea Creatures by Laura Marsh (JE 591.77 MAR)
Spiders by Laura Marsh (JE 595.4 MAR)
Polar Bears by Laura Marsh (JE 599.786 MAR)
Monkeys by Anne Schreiber (JE599.8 SCH)

Anyhow, I'm putting in her book order and it's full of the "creatures of the deep", "Bats", "Cats and Dogs" type books but I want to get her a few sweet story books. Should I just save my money? It just feels wrong to buy all of these nonfiction books. I love fiction!

Recently, at work, I nominated myself to begin a "Windows Security" course for IT Professionals that I work with. Being a former IT Pro, and now part of our security department as an Incident Responder, I thought I would create a course surrounding security. So, i'm going to use my blog to layout my plans for this "Windows Security" course – which will hopefully be useful for others as well.
My first post is going to focus on "Patch Management". Many IT Pro's, SysAdmins, etc. deploy assets (systems, applications, services, etc.) and join them to their domain, all while not being patched. Having assets that are not fully patched is a major security risk for your organization. Imagine, you have server that's not fully patched you've deployed (or someone else) on a Friday afternoon and then you become busy because of another incident. Monday comes along and your slammed again – once again you forget about this server for some period of time. We've all seen this happen or know of someone who does this.
In this situation, your Patch Management strategy is of the utmost importance. Having this server on your network is a major security risk, but not if you have a fully patched image. Whether you are using a fat, thin, zero-touch imaging solution, you need to make sure that your images are up to date and ready to deploy.
Using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit or SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager), can solve this problem with little to no interaction needed. I'm personally a fan of MDT (check out my walk-through) in an large, decentralized, environment. Utilizing MDT for your servers is extremely easy and gives your "System Administrators" a flexible and reliable solution for the many configurations your environment demands.
You can also use SCCM, if your environment can justify the cost, to automate this process to a complete "Zero-Touch" solution. My environment does not allow this because we are not a centralized IT department with a standard "image" across all departments. Setting up SCCM is cumbersome unless you have full access to the SCCM "site server(s)". Never-the-less, SCCM is extremely powerful and can manage all systems (servers, workstations, etc.) in an automated way – but again, it's pricey.
If you choose to solely use a "fat" image and decide to just use a WinPE disc or even Windows Deployment Servers (WDS), just make sure that you update your image every month or at-least quarterly – and do not, I repeat, do not, join it to your domain/network without it being fully patched.
Deploying Operating Systems is a fairly complicated affair, and we need to utilize the tools available to us – but don't forget about our third party applications as well. In my environment, most malware outbreaks are caused by either two types of incidents:
- Third party products are out of date and malware droppers are taking advantage (either in advertising sites or plan malicious sites) of these exploits.
- Phishing attempts
Maintaining our applications is also a crucial step that cannot be overlooked. Again, you can utilize SCCM for this process (if you can justify it) or you can use additional third party products (Ninite, Secunia PSI, WSUS, etc.). No matter what you use, you need to make sure that all of your systems are updated, and be able to report on this.
Having the ability to view your network/systems is a crucial part of a proper "Patch Management" strategy, so you need to have continual scanning on your network (with the ability to report on systems). You can either use Nessus, SCCM, QualysGuard, etc., but no matter what, you need this data. Again, utilize the tools you have – LEARN POWERSHELL! PowerShell can give you crazy amounts of data – use it, love it, live it.
The last part of this discussion is about anti-virus/malware software. Depending on the solution, your organization is using, you should be able to alert on infected systems. If you're using Microsoft ForeFront Endpoint Protection, then well you may not be able to (besides using PowerShell to gather the log files). It would be preferred if you have a anti-virus/malware solution that has an administrative console or the ability to run reports.
If you don't have a A/V solution that has this capability, then you need to rely on your Windows Logs and parse them with either Splunk or LogStash or something similar. Utilizing a system that can correlate this data for you is of immense help – especially if this repository is the same repository as your IDS/IPS logs, Windows Event Logs, etc.
Having the ability to fully patch a system before it is deployed is crucial in every environment. One piece of malware (with a C2) can scan your entire network for a new server and then as soon as a "SysAdmin" logs in…… well, the game is over – time to rebuild.

Do you want to know exactly how much data Apple has collected from you? The company that Jobs built will now give you a chance to see it.
Due to Europe's new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) law going into effect on May 25, companies will now have to reveal or delete the personal data they hold if individuals demand so. Apple in compliance with the new law opened a new Data and Privacy site that will allow customers with accounts located in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland to download all of their data the company has collected on them.
The data involved will revolve around your Apple ID account and your iPhone's info plus any data that you have synced to through iCloud. You will also get your Apple Music and App Store activity plus any history with Apple Care included in that cache of data. Apple does warn not to expect all of that data to be readily available right away. If you are downloading content like iCloud file and photos, it could take up to a week to have that prepared for you. You do have the option to download the data in smaller chunks if need be.
You will also have to act quickly and download once it's available because the data will be purged by Apple after two weeks. All of the information collected by Apple is, of course, voluntary but it is always good to know precisely what information they have and gives customers the ability to spot and correct errors. Although its only available in Europe right now, Apple does plan to make the feature available to everyone soon.

GARFIELD COUNTY, Okla. – A deputy made a bizarre arrest in Garfield County last week.
John Wayne Kellerman, 54, was pulled over for speeding on Oct. 15th in Garfield County.
Kellerman was allegedly going 57 mph in a 45 mph zone when the deputy initiated the traffic stop.
When the officer approached the vehicle, he found a "nearly naked" man wearing a thong bikini covering his genitals, the Enid News and Eagle reports.
The officer noted in his report that he saw a nearly empty jar of Vaseline and a pornographic magazine in the vehicle.
Kellerman reportedly had Vaseline covering his hand and upper and lower body parts.
According to the Enid News and Eagle, the deputy then asked Kellerman if he was masturbating and the man confirmed that he had been masturbating before being pulled over.

One of the most pleasant strolls along the Torrevieja coastline can be had on the Paseo Maritimo Juan Aparicio de Torrevieja which links the Paseo Dique de Levante, the wooden walkway that takes walkers out above the sea, the Paseo de la Libertad and the Playa del Cura beach.
Refurbished in 1999 it enjoys a number of delightful beachfront restaurants and bars as well as being used extensively for recreational and cultural events.
A few yards to the north of the dique is situated one of the most famous sculptures in the whole of the region, the Monumento a la Mujer del Pescador, a lonely lady looking wistfully out to sea, and quietly overlooking the rocky setting of Cala del Moro.
The monument has been in place for a little over 40 years where it pays homage to local mariners and the fishing traditions of the municipality. It is the statue of Bella Lola, the beautiful Lola, whose husband Antonio sailed out from Torrevieja aboard the fishing vessel "La Gaviota".
Antonio, along with his nine shipmates were never seen again. The boat was lost at sea and despite a widespread search it was finally given up as on 12 May 1919.
But Bella Lola refused to accept his loss, sitting on the rocky outcrop for day looking out to sea and patiently awaiting his return. She remains there today as a symbol of those many thousands of women who have watched their husbands head out to sea, never to return.
Now she has become one of the most popular tourist attractions and photographed sculptures on the coast, bringing many holidaymakers into the area as they seek to add her to their holiday snaps.
During the twinning of Torrevieja with Oviedo nine years ago a replica of La Bella was presented to the Asturian city.
La Bella Lola (Beautiful Lola) is also, for many, the Hymn of the Sailor. The lyrics describe the beauty of a woman and the surrounding sea. The author is unknown and it is said that it is nothing more than a folk song.

BackgroundAcetaminophen (APAP) at excessive doses causes hostile uncomfortable side effects akin to hepatotoxicity. The goal of the present research was to research the hepatoprotective and antioxidant results of hydroalcoholic extract of Stachys pilifera.
Benth (SP) on hepatotoxicity induced by APAP in male rats.Adult male Wistar rats have been allotted into 4 teams: management (C), APAP (2 g/kg), APAP + SP (500 mg/kg), and APAP + Silymarin (SM, 100 mg/kg) as constructive management group.
On the seventh day, the rats have been sacrificed after taking blood samples. Then ranges of biochemical parameters, oxidative stress markers and activity of antioxidant enzymes have been measured.
ResultsIn the APAP group, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes activity was considerably elevated and the extent of protein carbonyl (PCO) was insignificantly elevated as in comparison with management group. In addition, the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and whole thiol in the APAP group was considerably decreased in comparison with the conventional rats.
Stachys pilifera. Benth extract administration considerably lowered the activity of AST and ALT enzymes and the extent of PCO in comparison with the APAP group, whereas considerably elevated the activity of GPX enzyme.Hydroalcoholic extract of SP diminishes hepatotoxicity induced by APAP by lowering the quantity of liver operate indicators (AST and ALT).
Furthermore, the hydroalcoholic extract of SP is succesful of lowering oxidative stress by way of inhibiting protein oxidation in addition to boosting the activity of GPX enzyme. In this respect, the hepatoprotective impression induced by the SP extract could probably be attributable to its reactive oxygen species scavenging and antioxidant properties.
Potential Beneficial Actions of Fucoidan in Brain and Liver Injury, Disease, and Intoxication-Potential Implication of Sirtuins.
Increased curiosity in pure antioxidants has dropped at mild the fucoidans (sulfated polysaccharides current in brown marine algae) as extremely valued vitamins in addition to efficient and protected therapeutics towards a number of illnesses.
Based on their passable in vitro antioxidant efficiency, researchers have recognized this molecule as an environment friendly treatment for neuropathological in addition to metabolic issues. Some of this therapeutic activity is achieved by upregulation of cytoprotective molecular pathways succesful of restoring the enzymatic antioxidant activity and regular mitochondrial features.
Sirtuin-Three has been found as a key participant for attaining the neuroprotective position of fucoidan by managing these pathways, whose final objective is retrieving the whole lot of the antioxidant response and stopping apoptosis of neurons, thereby averting neurodegeneration and mind accidents.
Another pathway whereby fucoidan exerts neuroprotective capabilities is by interactions with P-selectin on endothelial cells, thereby stopping macrophages from getting into the mind correct. Furthermore, helpful influences of fucoidan have been established in hepatocytes after xenobiotic induced liver harm by reducing transaminase leakage and autophagy in addition to acquiring optimum ranges of intracellular fiber, which finally prevents fibrosis.
The hepatoprotective position of this marine polysaccharide additionally features a sirtuin, specifically sirtuin-1 overexpression, which alleviates weight problems and insulin resistance by way of suppression of hyperglycemia, lowering irritation and stimulation of enzymatic antioxidant response. While fucoidan may be very efficient in animal fashions for mind harm and neuronal degeneration, in normal, it's accepted that fucoidan reveals considerably restricted efficiency in liver.
Thus far, it has been used in giant doses for therapy of acute liver accidents. Thus, it seems that additional optimization of fucoidan derivatives could set up enhanced versatility for therapies of numerous issues, in addition to mind harm and illness.

FBN Securities analyst Shelby Seyrafi maintains a Sector Perform rating for Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) as she sees upside to FQ4 estimates after the company reports results.
We reiterate our Sector Perform rating on Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) and see upside to our FQ4 estimates after it reports results (Wed., Feb. 5 ATM). Recent results from fellow online advertising peers Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) bode well for Twitter. We think that key investor focal points will be monthly active user (MAU) growth, engagement rate (Timeline Views/MAU) growth, and monetization (advertising revenue per 1,000 Timeline Views) growth. As the table below shows, we are modeling MAU growth of 36%, engagement rate growth of 10%, and monetization growth of 36%. A key concern in our initiation was that engagement rate growth has been decelerating (from 30% in FQ1 to 8% in FQ3), but we think that the recent exposure from its IPO should help engagement rate and MAU growth.
Welcome to our latest issue of ValueWalk's hedge fund update. Below subscribers can find an excerpt in text and the full issue in PDF format. Please send us your feedback! Featuring investors exit long-short hedge funds, the oil market is now "broken", and Haidar Capital surges 225%. Q2 2022 hedge fund letters, conferences and more
As our detailed Advertising Revenue Model shows, we are modeling:
- MAU to reach 251M (up from 232M in FQ3). 249M consensus.
- Timeline Views to reach 175.2B (up 49% Y/Y). 173.7B consensus.
- Timeline Views per MAU to reach 698 (up 10% Y/Y).
- Advertising Revenue per MAU to reach $1.16 (up 36% Y/Y) with international ad revenue/MAU increasing to $.50 (still only 17% of the US level of $2.95, up from 14% in FQ3).
Twitter's FQ4 results
For FQ4, we expect Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) to report revenue of $215.5M (+92% Y/Y and in line with consensus of $217.8M) and NG EPS of -$.03 (vs. consensus of -$.02).
Twitter's FQ1 guidance
For FQ1, we are modeling Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR)'s revenue at $214M (+87% Y/Y and slightly below consensus of $216.2M) and NG EPS of -$.05 (vs. consensus of – $.03).
Investor focal points
In addition to the aforementioned metrics, key investor focal points will include:
Mobile advertising ramp
We see mobile advertising increasing to 72% of advertising revenue from 70% in FQ1, but there could be upside here as mobile % has increased by 5pp two quarters in a row.
Actions to improve engagement rates
Since decelerating engagement rate growth is the weak link in its results so far, investors will want to hear about what actions Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) is doing to improve engagement. Such actions could include improving the user interface.
Video opportunity
Investors want to hear about how Twitter expects its video-related advertising revenue to ramp. Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) has Amplify (in-tweet video clips), a partnership with Nielsen (Nielsen-Twitter TV rating), and Bluefin (acquisition that allows for better targeting).
International country ramp
As of the end of CQ3 2013, Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) sold advertising products in over 20 countries outside the US, and international was 27% of advertising revenue in CQ3 (we see this moving to 32% in CQ4).

A friend of the shop shared this on Facebook a while back. I found the work delightful in it's humor and, thanks to the author's fine craftsmanship, the rhythm remains intact. There are many variations of "Jabberwocky" across the Internets, but few are as accessible and entertaining as this one. At the bottom is a link to one gentleman's collection of other "Jabberwocky" variations, but I hope this one puts the same smile upon you, dear reader, that it did for me.
Saladbarry [A Rhyme of the Salad Bar]
by Duante Beddingfield
Based on Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
'Twas lunchtime, and the forky prongs
did stab and stammer 'gainst the plate;
all bendy were the saladtongs,
and the Jello cubes ornate.
"Beware the Saladbar, my son!
The hams that cube, the beeves that roast!
Beware the Gravy skin and shun
the mouldy Raisintoast!"
He took the sticky spoon in hand:
In hunger threebean soup he prayed--
But leaned his hand on the Softserve stand,
And thought himself afraid.
And as he thought in hunger hard,
The Saladbar, with flamin' yawn
Came roaring through the sneezy guard,
With burblings of flan!
He faced it through! and on a chew
An artichoke snapped cricker-crack!
He ate its heart, and with a fart
He went a-slogging back.
"And hast thou braved the Saladbar?
Come hither thee, my wellfed chap!
O braise, o baste! Not want! Not waste!"
He thundered with a clap.
'Twas lunchtime, and the forky prongs
Did stab and stammer 'gainst the plate;
All bendy were the saladtongs,
And the Jello cubes ornate.

- What is your solutions architecture experience with the Internet of Things?Since 2014 Yiyokyay has been developing embedded controllers for the Internet of Things solutions. We have been providing services to produce prototypes for lawn sprinkler IOT, sports scoring wearable devices, sports and leisure IOT devices, personal hydroponics solutions and home automation. These IOT devices interact over Bluetooth with Android and IOS mobile devices and push/pull data from cloud resources. The cloud side is mainly proprietary to Yiyokay LLC (https://www.yiyothings.com) along some Azure interfaces. Amazon Web Service and is being tee'd up to evaluate cost/benefit. And we have used some Google Developer services for geo-location and weather data integrations.
- Which devices are you deploying to the Internet of Things?
Particle.io Photon, Ardunio Pro Mini, Arduino Mega2586, ESP8266, ESP-12, TI CC2540, TI CC3000, TI CC3200, Silicons Lab BGM111 & BGM121, Simblee. I also have extensive exposure to industrial automation primarily Allen-Bradley Rockwell Automation along with Digi networking devices.
- What is your experience with connectivity – Wi-Fi-cellular-and how to connect to the cloud?
As described above, the IOT devices have been developed with Wi-Fi connectivity. We have just a small amount of experience with cellular and this is only because up to now cellular connectivity has not been required. Along that line we have been able to test cellular-like communication using GPRS messaging (SIM800L). I am devoted user/follower of Particle.io Photon devices. The Particle.io Electron is such a cellular-connectivity device that we have kept my eye in the case where a cellular internet product/device would be developed.
Short answer – WiFi very experienced, cellular limited experience but fundamental knowledge
- What is your understanding of data analytics and how in the cloud and provide solutions to a customer?
Strong understanding. We have over 25 years developing and implementing industrial SCADA. For most of that time the purpose of data was two-fold – 1) provide actionable information for human decision making. 2) provide related data to pass along to a IT database application to produce reports and support business operations. That's branched out now to analytics such that data is now being used to drive executive decision making beyond the normal/typical use for continuity.
Yesterday's premise – run the business as planned (human data users) – has evolved into run as planned and plan to improve, enhance and expand. Those extensions can be validated by scenarios driven by the aggregated data AKA data analytics.
- What is your solutions sales experience?
We have sold numerous technology upgrade projects to internal stakeholders. We have been on a project team engaged with international customers to design, develop and implement technology and operations enhancement tools. Recently we have been engaged to develop consumer IOT products.
- What is your design and development experience within electrical engineering or software?
Vast. Microsoft Visual Studio .Net for web applications, MS Visual Studio Xamarin plug-ins for IOS and Android mobile applications, Silicon Labs Simplicity Studio for bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy embedded devices, Particle.io cloud based integrated developer environment although I prefer the Particle.io desktop IDE. We use Arudino Software IDE for Arduino, ESP8266, Simblee.
Printed Circuit Board development – Eagle CAD.

Solved Some glitches in the mail frontend
luckow translator last edited by girish
I want to share some little bugs with you
In my case, i have a few mail alias for some users. It seems that the form in the mail alias modal frame has no real concept for more than 50 characters.
Same for the list of all mails.
Indeed, can reproduce it easily. I guess we need that UI element to be more smarter.
yes, that tag-input component has several other small bugs and we should really replace it. If anyone knows a good angular1 based component to replace it, ideas welcome
