Did you know?!
I am going to do my best not to get on a "soapbox" in this post. All of these things are SO near to my heart and during this CHRISTmas season have become more and more to the forefront of my mind.
When I tell you that watching Josie Love Christmas morning brought joy to my heart...it is an UNDERSTATEMENT. With my other children, most of their "firsts" were in the first two years of their lives. Watching her is DIFFERENT. She is having so many FIRST moments and she's old enough to REALLY "get it!" She laughed from the pit of her tummy, and smiled, and smiled, and smiled, as she went from sibling to sibling and gazed at the shiny new toys that lay in front of them. My eyes welled with tears the whole time just seeing the joy on her face and the peace in her little squinted eyes. Multiple times, I looked at her little face and thought "for almost FOUR YEARS she has not had anyone to call mommy or daddy." The thought of it makes my heart ACHE. She has been ill most of her life, with her diagnosis unknown, and her medical care limited. The thought of other children JUST LIKE HER being overlooked by believers DAILY makes my heart feel as though it is breaking in half. Please hear me say that I would have been fearful to walk this road that my sweet Saviour has me on. AND I wouldn't have knowingly chosen it. (because I KNOW myself) BUT now that I am on the other side and this sweet little angel is MINE, I want you to hear me say that YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
For Christmas, Mike bought me the book "TOO SMALL TO IGNORE....why the least of these matter most" by Wess Stafford. AS IF I NEED MY FIRE FUELED ANYMORE...this book just gets my engine revved up! Here are a few things that I have learned from it.
Did you know:
that research indicates that the vast majority of people who become Christians, do so while still children, usually before the age of 14?
that there are 2,000 Bible passages that declare our Father's love for the impoverished and their children and that urge us ,YOU AND ME, to defend their cause?
If a person hasn't accepted Christ as a youth, studies tell us that the probability he or she will EVER know Jesus is only 23%?
the earth can produce enough food for every man, woman, and child to have 2,270 calories per day-MORE THAN ANY OF US REALLY NEED? (so while God has done His part in creating a world capable of providing what we need, we have NOT done our part in the stewardship of it)
The magnitude of the poverty problem is SO BIG that as believers we do nothing for one reason: we do not know what to do. When we do turn our attention in the direction of orphans satan attacks and makes it seem IMPOSSIBLE to help in any way. WHICH leads me back to my first few questions.....the reason it SEEMS impossible is because there is an invisible battle going on. A spiritual war that rages over EACH and EVERY child. Satan is going to do everything possible to keep children from being brought into a Christian home and showed the love of Christ. If satan can keep the blinders on our eyes, and the children in our world overlooked until they are older, then the percentages of that child EVER knowing Christ play in "the deceivers'" favor.
No matter what the setting children seem to be the most overlooked. When hunger and famine strikes a nation, adults become weak and hungry, but it is the children who starve to death. When disease strikes, adults become very ill, but the first to die are the children. The most vulnerable people in our world have become the most disposable. Children in our world are so vulnerable to poverty that malnutrition causes 55% of the child deaths in our world. Our selfishness and greed cause them to pay the greatest price but they suffer silently.
In reality, children have THE MOST to offer. Ask any Mom or Dad who tucks a little one in at night. Children do not have much to offer materially, but they generously give all they have to those they love and believe in: hugs at bedtime, full-body squeezes, sloppy kisses, little fingers folded inside of our larger ones, sparkling marble shaped eyes that speak "mischief", little whispers of "i love you mommy". These things are priceless and MORE than enough. Few gifts on earth are as wondrous as the love of my little ones.
PLEASE help me spread the word. There are children who need us to pray, care, love, feed, or adopt them all over this world! Please do your part! Little Josie's are EVERWHERE longing for love and waiting for the body of Christ to show it to them. Every person on earth needs a little "Josie Love" in their life to show how the most vulnerable, nothing to offer, sick, and droopy eyed little person can bring your heart JOY, JOY, JOY. Just ask my oldest 5 children....they will tell you that their hearts have been forever changed by her sweet little giggle.

Falling Apart...
Why is it that no matter how strong our spiritual walk, and how much we feel the presence of Christ daily, we STILL doubt that HE is with us sometimes? There are times during the day (typically from 4:30-6pm) that I think "HELLO......I NEED SOME BACKUP HERE!!" HE tells us that not only is with us in spirit, but he came to earth via a VIRGIN woman so that we will know WITHOUT DOUBT that HE lived and IS still alive in us.
We have a annual Christmas ritual of making a gingerbread house. (I buy the kit, sorry to disappoint those of you who make it homemade and roll it all out....) This year I also got a gingerbread choo choo train since my brood has grown, and I knew the boys would really "dig"it. My kids LOVE it! This year my #8 kiddo was here also. We joke all of the time about Mallory (who lives around the corner) being a part of our family. She just blends right in , and is such a sweet, sweet blessing to us all. They all worked and worked to make the house and choo choo beautiful. At first they had to have patience in waiting for the icing to dry so that it would all hold together. Then came the details...all of the things on the outside that make it beautiful. The whole time they worked together and it SLOWLY came together. We took pics the whole time and were pleased with the finished project. The older ones had to remember that 3 preschoolers helped construct it, therefore, it did not look perfect in the end. (ha) We took pics of the finished project and we felt asthough we had made a HUGE accomplishment. We were all snuggled in the great room watching "grandma got run over by a reindeer" when we realized that both of our masterpieces had collapsed!
I couldn't help but think about our lives as believers. Isn't that just how it happens? We spend time with Christ. We depend on HIM to help us through each day. THEN, we surround ourselves with other believers, go to bible studies...ya know, the finishing touches to ADD to our walk with HIM, and BAM!#?&%@# something comes along, and makes it feel as though we are back to square one. How defeating. How exhausting. I cannot imagine going through life all of the time, being on the "roller coaster" of life without hope in Christ. HE is the one thing that makes me want to stay steadfast.
Christ tells us to nurture our trust in HIM as Saviour, Lord, and Friend. He has held NOTHING back in HIS provision for us. HE has even designed us to live WITHIN us. He promises that if we will rejoice in all that HE has done for us, HIS light will shine through us into the world.
That is my prayer...that HIS light will shine through me DAILY...even from 4:30-6pm in the afternoons when I am at my weakest.

Gwen and Elijah are headed home from Vanderbilt.(read post below) Elijah's second scan showed no change....THANK YOU LORD! He is okay and Gwen is exhausted..... he is to have no rigorous activity for at least 2 weeks.
As I sit here and think of all that needs to be done around my house, bed made, sleeping bags picked up (from my 8 year old's slumber party last night) kitchen cleaned.....I am reminded through JESUS CALLING to let the tasks that clutter my mind fall to the side. These tasks are ENDLESS and they clutter areas of my mind that need to be filled with HIS presence. Josie is sitting here next to me "jabbering away"(reading JESUS CALLING). She has been ENDLESSLY calling my name whining and crying over the last few days. (Those of you that have little ones know how exhausting that this can be.) I have chosen to rejoice in the fact that she is here with me and focus on the fact that I went to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital yesterday! I walked in (IT IS SOOO CLEAN!) talked to our WONDERFUL infectious disease doctor and we made a plan to start her meds for the HIV in two weeks!(In 6-12 months we should see SIGNIFICANT change in her immune system) He sent us downstairs for a chest x-ray (we were finished in 20 minutes), x-ray was read, diagnosis was written, and meds are started. Pneumonia wouldn't have been my choice for her sickness, BUT I am so happy that she is in America now and receiving the care that her little body needs. IT IS SUCH A PRAISE!
I want to encourage all of the other moms out there (that are like me and when your surroundings are cluttered, so is your mind ) to let your "endless tasks" fall to the side and just enjoy your family this CHRISTmas season.
Gwen and I have decided to close our computers ( our 147 site will be back up and running on Monday, Dec 20) and enjoy our families for the next week. All of the orders that we have received have been shipped and there are stores to buy beads (on our site) for last minute shopping. Thank you for your prayers and hopefully within the next few days we will all be on the mends!

Calling all prayer warriers....
Katie called us yesterday....We fed 20,000 children this past month with 147 Million Orphans gear...SUCH a blessing...
Spiritual warfare? Is it real? I can attest..IT IS REAL!! Yesterday Josie Love started running a fever. Last night it was up to 104.7. The good part is that she has a mommy and daddy now to hold her, love her, give her medicine, gatorade, and take her to the doctor. So, we went to the doctor today and she has pneumonia. She is PITIFUL....just listless. So, on my way home from Vanderbilt I called Gwen to give her an update and she was on her way TO Vanderbilt. Elijah had fallen at the ballgame and hit his head. She said that his pupils were dilated and a little confused. She was going to take him to the ER to get him checked out. She called me a few minutes ago and said that his skull is fractured and bleeding. They were admitting them for the night to watch him and make sure that the fracture doesn't get bigger. Where does satan hit Gwen and I? where it hurts...our precious little ones.
Pray for our hearts. Pray for healing....

Countdown til' Christmas
I am starting to feel a little bit overwhelmed with the thought of tying up the loose ends of the many things that HAVE to be done in order for Christmas to happen. I have done a GREAT job in just staying home and spending time with my little ones since Josie Love arrived. BUT, life is going on and I am just acting as if as though it isn't! I am going to try to get some shopping done this week. I have done most of it online but there is something about touching the stuff before you buy it.?!? Maybe my Christmas cards will arrive this week so that I might get them out on time. AND FINALLY, Gwen and I are moving EVERYTHING on Friday to a distribution center! WHEW! we have a blog now that we will be selling things that will not be going to the center. The Ugandan magazine beads and specialty items...orphan bags(some with funky fabrics that we might have just a few), our "pick me" charm necklace (that Tracey Hansen handmade for us) ... 147millionorphans.blogspot.com. All of our other tees, hats, bags, etc..will still be on our normal website....
Those of you that have sponsored a child through Amazima Ministries and haven't received a picture or info, it isn't because I haven't tried. It has been the CRAZIEST thing. The first time I was suppose to bring it all home from Uganda, Katie lacked quite a few kids to get info on. BECAUSE she found this orphanage that was struggling to care for their children. She offered to get sponsors for the children so they might receive schooling, medical care, and meals. The only problem is that the orphanage doesn't have any info on the children. She knows their names and age and that is about all. But we are plugging them into the program anyway...yippee! So, she got as much information on them as possible and when we tried to download it all on a flashdrive, the electricity went out for DAYS. (LOVE AFRICA!!) THEN, we finally got it all uploaded, I brought it home and ALL of the pics said that they had been "corrupted!!!" (whatever that means?!?) So, for about 5 months now we have been trying to get it all out to you guys and satan is having a HEYDAY!!! we will NOT be defeated! Our goal is to have them all out at the start of the new year.
We have our appointment with the infectious disease doctors this Friday to get all of Josie's test results. I am so excited to go back and talk to them and get a "game plan" for her medically.
While life is SPINNING, SPINNING, SPINNING all around me, my sweet Saviour reminds me that it is only the HOPE that HE gives me that keeps me spiritually alive during dark times of adversity here on earth. HE brightens my path and MY HOPE heightens my awareness of HIS presence. Without hope, I think my head might just spin right off of my shoulders. Life would be so overwhelming that I would feel as though I was drowning. But because I feel HIS hand in mine, walking me through each day. As I kiss my kids before school each morning. As I send my husband off to work in his suit, smelling yummy (he is the most handsome man that I have EVER laid my eyes on)...my heart is so FULL of joy that it is overflowing....I ONLY the JOY that HE can give....what a blessing.
My mind goes to Katie and her family often. Her house is full of joy. They have a roof over their head, a mommy to love them, and food to eat....it is that simple. Here is "worship Saturday" on Katie's front porch. My kids were so excited for them to be singing a song in english! (you might need to turn down the volume on my playlist songs)

I woke up this morning and my eyes felt like Josie's eyes look. For some reason they were swollen and I hardly had the energy to get out of bed. The clock read 6:05 am and I knew that my oldest two had to be out the door by 6:45am....so reguardless how I "felt" I had to hit the floor running. The first two were gone before I could even get my first cup of java down. The second two were awake and eating breakfast before I knew it....and then one by one, Joshua came down the stairs sleepy eyed and then my babies started hollering "mama mama" from their cribs. I sent the second shift out the door with Mike and as I watched them drive away in the pouring rain, I very quickly decided that we were going to have a "pajama day."
My friend Courtney had called and said she would bring lunch to me. She wanted to see Josie Love before she delivers her 2nd baby next week and out of commission for awhile. While watching four preschoolers interact with each other, we did our best to "catch up" on life. At one point, she looked at my hearth, with all of the stockings hanging, and said "just think, when you ONLY had Grace and were expecting Michael, if someone had said to you that you would have seven children...would you have believed it?!" I know she was thinking...."might THAT happen to me one day?!"
The time that I spend with Courtney is so sweet. She was one of the first friends that came alongside me when we started the adoption journey with Joshua and I KNEW without doubt that she was "in it" for the long haul. She is steadfast and is going to encourage me until the day that I die. She "gets" my life, and these days I am feeling that is rare. What a blessing.
As she left, I started thinking back to my life when I just had Grace and Michael. I am so glad that I can look back on that season of our lives and have fond memories that bring a smile to my face. SO much has changed through the years. As I look around my house, I never dreamed that my hearth would look like this....
After Mike and I adopted our first child, we started looking around and VERY FEW people in our lives had a lot of melanin in their skin. Actually, I could count on one hand the amount of people that we interacted with on a DAILY basis that have a lot of melanin. FYI, melanin is what makes your skin dark. Basically, it is the "stuff" in your skin that keeps you from getting sunburned. It is always fun at our house at bath time. We compare the melanin in Annabelle's skin to MillerAnne's. Annabelle is much more olive, so God gave her an extra tablespoon full of melanin when He was creating her. Caleb is much darker than Joshua so when God was creating him, he got an extra tablespoon of melanin. While cooking cakes we use tablespoons to spoon in cocoa (cause we know how much the Mayernick's LOVE chocolate) We talk about the tablespoons and teaspoons and in their minds it takes us back to melanin and makes PERFECT sense!
Our church has quite a few people with a lot of melanin.(haha) Our leading pastor is African American. I have heard him speak several times about growing up reading the bible, and the only children that he ever saw in the bible were white. Hmmmm.....me either! I've never seen a bible with black children in it. With the exception of the one pic with the scripture that says"let the little children come to me" and in that picture, they tend to be "red, yellow, black, and white!" Many things have been brought to my mind (and heart) in this way. My sweet mom-in-law knows how this burdens my heart, so she has helped me with my Christmas decor the past few years.
I never knew any different than this.......
It is such a blessing that now I KNOW this.....
Those of you that have adopted transracially, are in process, or hoping to adopt one day....PLEASE look around your life and make sure that there is PLENTY of melanin to go around.
Those of you that have white skin and your "world" is white, pray about how you can incorporate more color in your life and home for your children's sake. We do not want them to be shocked one day when they enter the gates of heaven and everyone there doesn't look like them!
On a side note....check out josie's new stocking! Amy, one of my best friends from High School and her mother have made all of my family's stockings. I mean, REALLY? could it be ANY MORE perfect? Look how excited Josie is! AND she has NO IDEA the goodies that will be left inside of it on december 25th! Thrills my soul to the core!

Getting Out of My Comfort Zone
These smiles make my UNCOMFORT SO worthwhile. My feet are hurting, my back is aching, my shoulders are "pinched", my eyes need toothpicks to hold them open, and my head feels as though it is between a vice grip......but my heart is SO FULL. Everytime I look into Josie's face, I feel as though I am looking into the eyes of Jesus. I whisper into her ear throughout each day...MOMMY loves Josie, MOMMY loves Josie. You see, I want her to KNOW, WITHOUT doubt, that I will NEVER leave her. WHY is it so hard for ME to KNOW that my sweet Saviour will NEVER leave me?
I walked into the Infectious Disease Doctor's Office this week and was TOTALLY out of my comfort zone. I found myself thinking "am I really here?" I entered a world that is not familiar. It was somewhat surreal until I saw Mike and Josie Love standing at the front desk and INSTANTLY it was REAL. Her little finger pointing to me and shouting "Mommy, Mommy!" I left the doctors office with peace in my heart knowing that we have a plan for her little body to get better.
Count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens-give a cheer even!-for they don't like it, I DO! And all heaven applauds. AND know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble. Matthew 5:11-12 (message bible)
I read this scripture over and over to make sure that He is saying that UNCOMFORT is a good thing. I mean, afterall, don't we spend MOST of our time trying to make ourselves comfortable? My first thought when I felt my body aching is....."MASSAGE HERE I COME!" (MaMa LOVES her a spa day) and then the reality of my life these days came flooding through my mind. Not much time for the spa...... UNCOMFORT is not a choice that comes easy for me. So, I am going to cling to the verse above and know that I am in good company while I am in an unfamiliar place and uncomfortable. HE will never leave me.
Josie Love is still sleeping well and playing hard. She pushes a stroller UP our driveway daily....pretty good therapy huh? Her legs are getting stronger and she is walking from one end of our home to the other. My heart just swells. She is gaining weight and wakes up with a smile on her face. She reaches up out of her bed and puts a little hand on each one of my cheeks and whispers "mama" each morning. I just love her stinky little breath. She loves for me to rub yummy smelling lotion on her skin. She tries to put it all in her hair. Speaking of hair.... I am doing a pretty good job with her hair (if I MUST say so myself)....DISREGUARD THE PICS BELOW! (it was a blustery day..hahaha) I am really enjoying just being at home with her, Caleb, and Joshua. And the highlight of our day is carpool at 3pm.....and the party begins until bedtime!
Thank you all for your prayers. We have felt COVERED with them. What a blessing to know that the body of Christ is surrounding us with support. GOD is good.....ALL the time!
Here is a little look at a day outside playing before it gets TOO cold........LOVE MY KIDS!
Caleb and Mayflower (our bunny rabbit)
MillerAnne chauffering Annabelle, Mayflower, and Josie around. WHEW! Josie looks a little windblown! Caleb "taking Mayflower to the grocery store".......
Big brother Michael loving his little sister.....
Thanksgiving at the Mayernicks

A 75-year-old Roxbury man was arrested Monday for allegedly renting out rooms in his home to prostitutes and selling beer and condoms.
Nathan Andrews, also known as Fard Ahmed, was charged with allowing a premise to be used for immoral purposes, according to Boston police.
Officers from the Orchard Gardens Safe Street Team were called to 131 Eustis St., in Roxbury to investigate possibly illegal activity. Officers familiar with the area and some of the known prostitutes saw people coming and going from the residence at all hours of the day and night, police said.
During their investigation, police obtained information that a man named Fard Ahmed who was allegedly charging women $20 for two-hour room rentals. He was also allegedly selling beer and condoms.
Police obtained a number for one of the prostitutes believed to be working in the house known as Cinnamon. An officer set up a meeting during which she told him "everything" was available at a rate of $100 for 30 minutes, police said.
The officer went to the house and Cinnamon let him in before putting a cut 2-by-4 piece of wood behind the door to prevent it from opening, police said. She let the officer leave the house after he said he left half of the money in the car.
At that point other officers moved in and arrested Andrews and the woman.
Shannon-Lynn Quigley, 35, of Jamaica Plain, also known as "Cinnamon," was charged with sex for a fee.
The apartment was sealed off pending a search warrant, police said.

Dial-in Set-up How-to , Dialin Setup Howto , Dial in Set up How to
How To Setup Dial-In-Server or RAS to Freesco and Reach from Windows Client
Here's a little guide on how to make a dial-in connection to Freesco from a Windows machine. This guide is focused on the purpose of sharing an Internet connection where Freesco is the gateway (router) and Windows is the client. It doesn?t discuss null-modem connections nor file-sharing nor other clients than Windows.
Most of the facts are gathered from Lightning in his answers to different questions in the forums. Thanks. I hope the info here is correct, otherwise please correct me.
For the dial-up client setup, I only have access to Windows 98 in English and Windows 2000 in Spanish, so if someone wants to replace the Spanish bits in that part to English, please do.
Maybe after corrections are made, some moderator would be so kind to move this to the FAQ section. Oh, that would be great!
I?m rather new to Linux and Freesco myself. Even so, I managed to setup Freesco on a 486 as a router between an always-on Internet connection and a couple of Windows boxes. It came to good use as a print server, too. This was all easy thanks to the simplicity and good guides available. Thanks for that. A guide for dial-in seemed to be lacking, though, so I thought I?d put together my new-found insights on this matter, so here it goes.
Setting up dial-in in Freesco (version 032, won't work in 030-031):
Make sure you have a "hardware" modem, as opposed to a "winmodem".
Make sure it's connected and powered (and working...).
See below for more info on modems in Freesco.
From within a Telnet connection, log in as root.
At the [Linux] prompt, type setup [enter].
Type c or m or nothing [enter].
Type a for a) Advanced settings.
Type the corresponding numbers for the following actions:
32. Dial-in users
322. add user.
Don't use the web interface for this, it doesn't work very well.
71. Modem settings
710. Search and autoconfig modems
713. Init string: ATZ (Change only if necessary, see below for details)
714. Dial-in IP addr: Set to 192.168.y.x ,
where 192.168.y.0 is your local network (or one of them)
and x can be 1-254, but not Freesco IP nor DHCP pool
nor any other already used IP number.
23. Remote access
220. Rings before answer at login,nologin time. RINGS=1,10
25. Internal security
Trust local networks (y/s/n) [n]? Whatever suits your needs.
Trust modem links (y/n) [y]? Dial-in will work if you choose ?y?,
otherwise not, it seems.
Then type x to exit from Advanced setup.
Then type s for s) Save current config and exit.
Then type "reboot" at the [Linux] prompt.
That finishes the Freesco part.
Setting up dial-up client in Windows:
Copy freesco.scp from Freesco setup files to
D:\WINNT\System32\ras (Win2000) or
C:\Program Files\Accessories (Win98 English) or
C:\Program\Tillbeh?r (Win98 Swedish) or
C:\Programme\Zubeh?r (Win98 German) or
C:\Archivos de programa\Accesorios (Win98 Spanish) or
wherever your .scp-files are.
Setup dialup connection for Win98 (here in English):
Go to Dial-Up Networking.
Make New Connection and finish it with any values.
Open Properties of your new connection.
Tab: Server Types:
Choose Type...: PPP...
Uncheck the 4 first Advanced options.
Uncheck NetBEUI and IPX/SPX, check TCP/IP.
In TCP/IP settings, check both Server assigned...
Tab: Scripting:
Browse for freesco.scp as script.
Uncheck Start terminal window minimized for now,
until you know everything?s working.
Set all other options suitably.
Setup dialup connection for Win2000 (here in Spanish... sorry):
Go to ?Conexiones de red y de acceso telef?nico?.
?Realizar conexi?n nueva?.
Choose ?Acceso telefonico a Internet?.
Choose ?Deseo configurar manualmente...?.
Choose ?...linea telefonica y un modem?.
In ?Paso 1, Informacion?, click ?Avanzadas...?.
Choose PPP, and check ?Use archivos de comando...?
Browse for freesco.scp as script.
Finish the wizard with your chosen values.
Open Properties of your new connection for editing.
In tab ?Seguridad?, check ?Mostrar ventana de terminal? for now,
until you know everything?s working.
Final note: Don?t use software compression in the connection, as Windows and Freesco don?t speak the same language here.
Good Luck!
This is what netguru says about modems:
One way to do diagnostics on your modem is to use the built in command "minicom"
from the console after you login, type minicom /dev/cua0 [enter]
you will be connected to your modem, type AT [enter]
the modem should respond with OK
if not then you need to type the following AT command
ATE1V1 [enter]
(this sets the modem to echo command responses, and to do so verbosely)
the modem will respond with OK
next type AT&W [enter]
(this writes the current config to the modems NVRAM)
AT&F, loads the factory defaults settings to the modems active profile.
ATI followed by a number from 0 to 7 will give you important hardware and firmware info about your modem.
to exit minicom type ~. (tilde period)
Koen Noens:
When using a modem, you'll need to know its 'init-string'. This is a string of modem commands that will be sent to the modem to 'initialise' it before it starts making its connection. Using the correct modem string improves performance. If you don't know the init-string of your modem, you need to try and find it. Meanwhile, you can try if ATZ, AT&F or AT&F1 will do the trick. These are 3 simple modem init strings that will almost always work, but do not guarantee top performance.

A 22-YEAR-OLD man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a teenage girl who was stabbed on a bus as she made her way to school.
Phillip Simelane, who is accused of killing 16-year-old Christina Edkins, spoke only to confirm his name during a 10-minute hearing at Birmingham Crown Court.
Simelane, from Walsall, was remanded into the custody of a secure mental health unit and will next appear at the same court for a plea hearing on May 31.
Christina, a pupil at Leasowes High School in Halesowen, died after suffering a stab wound to the chest on the top deck of a bus in Hagley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Thursday March 7.
West Midlands Police were given authority to charge Simelane by the Crown Prosecution Service on Tuesday.
But he was not formally charged with murder until 9am on Friday, an hour before he appeared before The Recorder of Birmingham, Judge William Davis QC.
Simelane, wearing a blue, white and grey hooded training top, remained impassive throughout the hearing after being asked to confirm his name by the court clerk.
A dock officer and four police officers stood near the defendant as prosecutor Hayley Firman discussed the timetable in the case with the judge and defence barrister Regan Peggs.
No members of Christina's family were present in court during the short hearing, which was attended by several police officers working on the inquiry.

3 to 6 Months: During this stage your baby will gain better head control and have better movement of arms and legs. They generally grip onto anything they can get their hands on and put it directly into their mouth. Educational toys like rattles promote motor development and provide sensory stimulation. Since everything ends up in the mouth, educational toys that are chewable or soft plush are favorites. Babies need to experience different textures so vary the materials educational toys are made of. Activity centers provide lots of stimulation at this age. These educational toys normally have lots of buttons that produce sounds, lights, and give a variety of textures to explore. Hand-eye coordination will improve as babies explore the activity center. Parents are often on the move more with babies at this age. Activity bars that fit across a stroller, car seat, or bouncy chair that have dangling, squeaky toys and mirrors keep baby stimulated while on the move. Motor skills develop as baby reaches, hits, pulls, and kicks at the accessories on these educational toys.
Red displays come from Lithium, Rubidium and Strontium. These metals give different intensities in color and some even play other roles. Lithium and Rubidium are metals in group one of the periodic table. Lithium gives a medium red color and is most useful, for this purpose in its carbonate form. Rubidium on the other hand gives a deep red/ violet-red flame and is also used to oxidize the mixtures in these explosives; without oxidation, they will not burn properly. Strontium burns with an intense red but it also has the job of stabilizing the elements used to make the fireworks.
How Babies Learn It is quite surprising the rate at which babies learn and develop. Learning begins in the womb and continues throughout childhood. In early life how a child learns centers largely around the relationship with the parents. At least until the child starts preschool, the job of stimulating and satisfying babys desire to learn falls primarily to the parents. While babies respond to their parents voice there are many other sounds they find interesting. When parents are choosing educational toys for babies they should look for toys that have sound, colors that are bright and contrasted like red, black and white, and have interesting textures that babies like to touch.
1 to 2 years: With each step your baby becomes more independent and confident. Little ones at this age spend every waking hour exploring and experimenting. For those still a bit unsteady walking, educational toys that promote mobility such as a walker or push car are great choices. Pushcarts and wagons are a great way for children to tote things around- another favorite activity at this age. Educational toys including soft plush toys and dolls remain favorites at this age. Children often become very attached to one or two and use them in creative play. Toddlers can find many ways to make loud sounds. Musical instruments like drums, maracas, and tambourines are educational toys that will help them learn to appreciate music while they make noise. Inset puzzles require toddlers to lift out pieces and find the right places to put them back. These first puzzles improve problem skills and fine tune motor skills. Puzzles are educational toys that your children will play with over and over again.
Fireworks light up the sky during celebrations; they give a wonderful show of color and shapes that fascinate the eyes and minds of many. The beauty of the display often leads many to wonder where the colors come from. The short answer is that they are the result of the burning of metals placed in these explosives. These metals are elements of the periodic table that burn at different temperatures and give off colors at their melting points.
Educational toys are fun for babies and provide another tool to stimulate learning and brain development in your infant. There are many ways to teach a child and tens of thousands of educational toys on the market to help parents in the endeavor. The challenge for parents, child care providers and educators is to choose from the vast array of educational toys available in a way that creates a balance of learning techniques, is age appropriate, and most of all fun. This article will provide basic facts about; how babies learn, types of educational toys available and examples of each.
When it comes to the formulation of policies about higher education, structuring the system, financial assistance, grants and salary, the statutory body-University Grants Commission-is mentioned like a sacred cow worshipped as well as butchered in the streets. How far the UGC is autonomous is a common knowledge. It has become a post office, a government organization, disbursing petty grants, sanctioned by the Central Government, among universities or institutions with a number of tags attached to them depending upon the status of the recipient institutions, state, Central, autonomous or deemed universities. There is a perpetual complaint about the non-availability of funds. The administration should appreciate that the jumbo cabinet and expenditure on legislatures could be cut down to feed and educate a few villages. The teacher wants to be a ladder upon which students could climb and scale new heights.

Park Systems Introduces QuickStep SCM New High Speed Scanning Capacitance Microscopy
|(Nanowerk News) Park Systems, world leader in atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the semiconductor and hard disk markets introduces QuickStep SCM, the newest technology for high throughput in scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM). Designed to work with Park NX AFM series, the leading AFM products for researchers and engineers in the semiconductor industry, Parks QuickStep SCM provides accurate dopant profiles of semiconductor device structures, 5 to 10 times faster than any other competing SCM atomic force microscopy systems.
|Above graph shows QuickStep SCM resolving dopant concentration in less than an order of magnitude levels.
|Parks scanning capacitance microscope offers outstanding features to guarantee optimum results and is designed to offer an unsurpassed signal-to-noise ratio. Unlike others, doping concentration of less than an order of magnitude is easily and clearly distinguishable with our new SCM module. Additionally,Parks QuickStep SCM is designed to provide the fastest scan speed without compromising signal sensitivity, spatial resolution or data accuracy. For device characterization, scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) provides the unique ability to measure quantitative 2D dopant profiles.
|"Park designed the new SCM feature because in semiconductor manufacturing, the ability to characterize the dopant profile is a critical factor in identifying causes of failure as well as in making design advancements," explains Ryan Yoo, Vice President Global Sales & Marketing Park Systems. "Our design team has created an SCM that outperforms any on the market, dramatically increasing the throughput of the SCM measurement by as much as ten times, while maintaining high signal sensitivity, spatial resolution and data accuracy. Park's newly designed SCM detector suppresses detector noise level to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio, giving it the best throughput in the industry."
|QuickStep SCM differs from conventional methodology of slow continuous movement to XY scanner stopping at each pixel point to record the data then moving rapidly to the next xt measurement points. This speeds up the scan rate while maintaining high accuracy and integrity of the measurements. Park SCM achieves the best signal-to-noise ratio in the industry by automatically selecting the best RF frequency to match the doping range of sample over a wide RF band from 890 to 1050MHz, even when using low AC bias voltages.

CRESTVIEW � You could say one Davidson Middle School student has a winning attitude.
Jerrold Gardner, 14, of Milligan, is the recipient of Cox Cable�s Inspirational Student Hero award for his positive attitude despite the challenges he has faced.
CRESTVIEW � You could say one Davidson Middle School student has a winning attitude.
Jerrold Gardner, 14, of Milligan, is the recipient of Cox Cable�s Inspirational Student Hero award for his positive attitude despite the challenges he has faced.
Overcoming adversity
The eighth-grader was diagnosed with cerebral palsy shortly after birth. Brain abnormalities or injuries contribute to the disorder, whose symptoms can include tremors, unusual gait, tight joints and loss of coordination, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Jerrold � who uses a motorized wheelchair to get around � also dealt with being shuffled around following his mother Aimee�s death when he was in the fifth grade. He lived with another relative immediately following the incident, but the arrangement did not work out.
Then his stepfather, John Gardner, stepped in to raise him.
"He took ownership of me," Jerrold said. John, a retired U.S Marine, served tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now works as a contractor, Jerrold said.
School involvement
"Jerrold has been through some tough stuff and there is not one single thing that was brought on by his actions," Carol Cassity, a DMS special-needs teacher, said. "In the three years that I have known Jerrold, he has never complained � and that is enough to be inspirational to me."
But there�s more to it than that.
Davidson�s special-needs program has some 40 students, whom Jerrold supports several ways, Cassity said. He helps teachers understand students who can�t clearly speak, reminds classmates to take their medication and has mediated arguments between students.
"Jerrold has compassion for others," Cassity said.
"It really hurts me to see (students) upset," he said. "It really makes me happy to see kids having fun."
Additionally, he participates in the Buddy program, in which general students assist special-education students with schoolwork.
Ethan Mitchell, 13, assists Jerrold in the program.
Ethan helps Jerrold with his language arts and reading assignments.
"It�s a lot of responsibility ... you have to work with them as much as possible," he said.
Jerrold said he enjoys working with Ethan.
"He's a good kid; me and him joke around and pick on each other," Jerrold said. "At times it can be tough, but we overcome it."
Awards banquet
Jerrold and 34 other Okaloosa County students will be recognized at a private ceremony May 14 at Emerald Coast Convention Center in Fort Walton Beach. Each student will receive a medallion and certificate from Cox Cable, which has produced the program nearly 20 years.
"Each school gets to nominate a student who they believe inspires or is a hero to others," Cassity said, adding that the school�s faculty voted for Jerrold to receive this year�s award.
"It feels good," Jerrold said, adding that academic honors and the award�s recognition have made this a memorable school year.
"I get here and I get on the "A, B" honor roll ... it�s like 'Wow,�� he said.

Ultimate Resolution of Atomic Force Microscopy
True Non-Contact AFM for the best AFM resolution available
When using the Non-Contact (NC) mode with a very small tip-sample distance, even a slight deviation of tip-sample interaction force from the set point can be fatal. This is why the tip has to be farther from the sample surface in conventional NC mode, resulting in poor resolution.
Implementing an NC mode with small tip-sample separation has been a very challenging task, but Park Systems has a solution. Park AFM features an NC mode that surpasses the resolution of all AFMs that came before it, even those using contact mode. This makes Park AFM the best choice for imaging soft biological samples as it provides extremely high resolution imaging without damaging the sample (see "True Non-Contact AFM for soft biological samples" for details).
Created by the original pioneers of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technology after 4 years of intensive product development, Park AFM represents the refined vision of breakthroughs in every aspect of modern AFM technology (see "Development of Crosstalk Eliminated Atomic Force Microscopy" for details). Park AFM is the first and only AFM on the market that realizes the promise of a True Non-Contact mode in every way.
This new technology achieves an unprecedented tip-sample distance, combined with superb tip and sample preservation. The advantages of True Non-Contact™ Mode enable the ultimate resolution of AFM and measurement accuracy that are without peer in the AFM industry (see "What is the Ultimate Resolution of AFM?" for details).
Non-Contact AFM: The Principle
Non-Contact AFM (NC-AFM) is one of several vibrating cantilever techniques in which an AFM cantilever is vibrated near the surface of a sample. The spacing between the tip and the sample for the Park AFM's NC-AFM mode is on the order of tens to hundreds of angstroms. This spacing is indicated on the van der Waals curve of Figure 1 as the Non-Contact zone. There are two major forces, the static electric repulsive force and attractive force, existing between atoms a short distance apart: The static electric repulsive forces (Fion) between ion cores and the static electric attractive forces (Fel) between valence electrons and ion cores. When the distance between the atoms at the end of the probe tip and the atoms on the sample surface becomes much shorter, the repulsive forces between them become dominant, and the force changes due to the growing distance.
Contact AFMs measure surface topography by utilizing the system's sensitive response to the Repulsive coulomb interactions that exist between the ion cores. The NC-AFM mode of the Park AFM measures surface topography by utilizing this attractive atomic force in the relatively larger distance between the tip and a sample surface.
Figure 1. Interatomic force vs. distance
Because of the attractive force between the probe tip and the surface atoms, the cantilever vibration at its resonant frequency near the sample surface experiences a shift from its intrinsic spring constant (k0). This is called the effective spring constant (keff), and the following equation holds:
keff = k0 - F' (1)
When the attractive force is applied, keff becomes smaller than k0 since the force gradient F' (=∂F/∂z) is positive. Accordingly, the stronger the interaction between the surface and the tip (in other words, the closer the tip is brought to the surface), the smaller the effective spring constant becomes. This alternating current method (AC detection) makes more sensitive responses to the force gradient as opposed to the force itself. Thus, it is also applied in such techniques as Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) and Dynamic Force Microscopy (DFM).
A bimorph is used to mechanically vibrate the cantilever. When the bimorph's drive frequency nears the cantilever's natural intrinsic vibration frequency (f0), resonance will take place, and the vibration that is transferred to the cantilever becomes very large. This intrinsic frequency can be detected by measuring and recording the amplitude of the cantilever vibration while scanning the drive frequency of the voltage applied to the bimorph. Figure 2 displays the relationship between the cantilever's amplitude and the vibration frequency. From this output, we can determine the cantilever's frequency.
A stiff cantilever used in True Non-Contact™ mode on the Park AFM typically has a relatively high resonant frequency, between 100 kHz and 400 kHz, with a vibration amplitude of a few nanometers. The AFM system detects changes in the resonant frequency or vibration amplitude as the tip comes near the sample surface. The sensitivity of this detection scheme provides sub-angstrom vertical resolution in the image, as with contact AFM.
Figure 2. Resonant frequency of a cantilever
Figure 3. Resonant frequency shift
Figure 4. Resonant frequency shift
On the other hand, the spring constant affects the resonant frequency (f0) of the cantilever, and the relation between the spring constant (k0) and the resonant frequency (f0) in free space is shown as in Equation (2).
As in Equation (1), since keff becomes smaller than k0 due to the attractive force, feff too becomes smaller than f0 as shown in Figure 3. If you vibrate the cantilever at the frequency f1 (a little larger than f0) where a steep slope is observed in the graph representing free space frequency vs. amplitude, the amplitude change (ΔA) at f0 becomes very large even with a small change of intrinsic frequency caused by atomic attractions. Therefore, the amplitude change measured in f1 reflects the distance change (Δd) between the probe tip and the surface atoms.
If the change in the effective resonance frequency, feff, resulting from the interaction between the surface atoms and the probe, or the change in amplitude (ΔA) at a given frequency (f1) can be measured, the Non-Contact mode feedback loop will then compensate for the distance change between the tip and the sample surface as shown in Figure 4. By maintaining a constant amplitude (A0) and distance (d0), Non-Contact mode can measure the topography of the sample surface by using the feedback mechanism to control the Z-scanner movement following the measurement of the force gradient represented in Equation (1).
Figure 5. True Non-Contact AFM image taken with an XE-100 of 50 nm wide, 100 nm deep trenches shown in 1:1 aspect ratio 3D rendering (1 μm scan size). True Non-Contact mode from the Park AFM with high Z-servo performance can accurately trace the steep walls of the trenches.

Former Hog Makes Big Splash In First NFL Game
Wright catches first NFL touchdown for Minnesota Vikings
Former Arkansas wide receiver Jarius Wright finally got his chance to show what he could do in the NFL, and he took advantage of it in a big way.
Wright caught three passes for 65 yards and a touchdown in his first regular season game as a pro, helping the Minnesota Vikings beat the Detroit Lions, 34-24, at Mall of America Field on Sunday.
Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder threw a deep pass to Wright for a 54-yard gain early in the first quarter, marking his first NFL reception. Then two plays later, Ponder found Wright near the front left corner of the end zone for his first touchdown, a 3-yard pass that put Minnesota ahead 7-0.
Wright was activated on the Vikings' game-day roster for the first time this season, filling in for injured starter Percy Harvin.
"Just the opportunity to go out there every week and help your team on Sunday," Wright said when asked about the experience. "I got that chance this Sunday and I just tried to make the most out of it."
After finishing his career at Arkansas as the Razorbacks' all-time leader in several different receiving categories, the Vikings selected Wright in the fourth round of the NFL Draft in April. But he was listed third on the depth chart before Harvin was injured, and had never been added to the 45-man active roster used for each game.
"You never really know," said Wright, a native of Warren, Ark. "You never know how it works. I try to go out there and do my best to try to stay active each and every week."

1. Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
2. The Apostles Creed: I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
3. The Lord's Prayer: OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
4. (3) Hail Mary: HAIL Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen. (Three times)
5. Glory Be: GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
6. Fatima Prayer: Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy.
Announce each mystery, then say 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, 1 Glory Be and 1 Fatima prayer. Repeat the process with each mystery.
End with the Hail Holy Queen:
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve! To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus!
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Final step -- The Sign of the Cross

Cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

What is "Wellness?"
In this issue, I was particularly struck by the sensationalist article under the "Wellness" section entitled "Germ Warefare" by Heather Hatfield, a WebMD health contributing writer and edited by Michael W. Smith, MD, Chief Medical Editor for WebMD. Insurers love the concept of "wellness." No doubt they give funds to WebMD so our patients can understand this better.
As a former US Navy guy, in response to the title "Germ Warefare" I anticipated a cool article on anthrax or smallpox, but instead I found an invaluable article on how to avoid a cold or the flu this winter and how "innocent objects could be your greatest health threat!" The article offers a sobering look at what the media are teaching our patients. Here's what they recommend to avoid the flu and a cold this winter (my comments are in italics):
Sternutation (sneezing): cover your mouth when you "achoo" – very reasonable – please make every effort to do this in my waiting room.
Grocery carts: Don't use them. It seems "half of American children put their mouths on the handle!" Oh, and don't put your veggies in the grocery cart seat! Diaper-aged kids sit in them! Yikes! So go without those infected carts and stuff your groceries in your pockets.
Elevator buttons: avoid the first floor elevator button – it's loaded with germs (since everyone pushes it). Solution? Take the stairs.
Do not use the sponge, dishcloths, kitchen sink, cutting boards, toilet seat, bathroom counter, or bathroom floor – they're loaded with contagion! "This is where fecal bacteria hide, and when we find fecal bacteria, we usually find viruses that cause colds and flu." Solution: grill outdoors all year and don't cut the chicken up on the toilet seat.
Do not touch the escalator rail at the mall – "we find mucous, saliva, blood – they tend to be pretty grody." Solution: fall down the escalators instead, then sue the Mall of America and get rich – at least you won't get the flu.
Don't work at a desk: it has "400 times more bacteria on it than a toilet seat" and "don't use the computer keyboard or the phone – they're the germiest," Solution: don't work, get fired and stay home so you can join the masses without health insurance.
Stay away from the middle toilet in public restrooms – it's used the most often and a great place to catch the flu – "go for the first stall." Solution: Better yet, just hold it.
"Kissing can prevent cavities; it stimulates the flow of saliva, but it can also make you sick" Solution: total abstinence.
Don't shake hands with colleagues – you'll catch something! Solution: be a jerk and look away when they say "hi" – at least you'll be safe!
"Don't use airplanes: if someone is sick on the plane, everyone within three feet is at risk!" Here's what it'll get you. Solution: drive to your destination in complete isolation, irrespective of location.
Tell your doctor to not wear a tie because "half of the neckties worn by doctors were swarming with disease-causing germs" and "doctor's ties were found to be eight times as likely to harbor germs as those of security personnel, who apparently have an undeserved reputation for being slovenly." Solution: have security personnel round on patients.
Is this really "wellness" or idiocy?

Good Lord, I will never look at a grocery cart or doctor's tie the same way again! (My own doctor wears beat-up old cowboy boots right off his ranch, and I don't even want to THINK about what may be on them...)

Good grief, that's crazy! We needn't be so afraid of germs - we need them to build up our immune system! Part of the reason everyone gets sick so often is that our life is so sterilized - pasteurized everything when in comes to food, antibiotic soap and cleaners for our homes - our poor bodies don't get the chance to build up any immunity by fighting against the little stuff, so how is our immune system supposed to handle the big stuff!
I find it interesting that research shows that children that live on farms and spend time with animals and muck around in the dirt actually get sick less frequently and have way fewer allergies. Is our increasing problem with autoimmune disease because of our lack of contact with germs? I think that may be one reason ...
So, I say bring on some germs! I want a strong immune system!

DECATUR, Ga. - Prosecutors outside Atlanta say a former Fulton County police officer will serve a 25-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of two counts of child molestation.
Erik Burton, a spokesman for the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office, said a jury on Thursday returned guilty verdicts on the two counts against 32-year-old Michael Bernard Wilson.
Authorities say Wilson was arrested in November 2010 after he was accused of molesting and raping a 12-year-old girl. The girl's mother called DeKalb police, who arrested the Ellenwood resident during a traffic stop. He was then terminated from the Fulton County department.

text: Disc to wrist is a concept that was launched a year ago which aimed at providing more knowledge to our customers by showing how the combination of the grinder and different abrasives affect the productivity both in theory and in practice. Not only are we able to increase the productivity but also lower the vibration exposure for the operator! We chose our special "Disc to wrist" concept as the motif for our first unique GTG. This motif represents the connection between the abrasive and the grinder and how it works for the operator in order to show the importance of looking at the complete application while selecting your solution. If you want to know more about Disc to Wrist, please contact your local sales representative.

Rambling around town the other day, I picked up a brochure for a new initiative by The Abbey Theatre. Next month, they're running a series of six 20 minute plays by women. Ask most people to name an Irish female playwright and if you're lucky, they'll say Marina Carr, so this is a brilliant idea and one to be applauded. It highlights new voices and gives a space to Irish women dramatists – something which is seriously needed – so fair play to the Abbey. But does it really have to be called The Fairer Sex? The title seems to take away from the empowering impetus provided by running these plays. According to the free dictionary The Fair Sex is defined as "attractively feminine", which seems to link physicality with worth, so in the context of promoting female playwrights, does this not undermine the message a little? To my mind, the phrase has always had connotations of weakness and/or of being somewhat lesser than the testicle-owners on the planet.
Name aside, it's still a very admirable idea and you can support it by going along. Public readings of the plays will take place in the Peacock Theatre over two evenings next month. Wednesday June 10th will feature Ribbons by Elaine Murphy, Salad Day by Deirdre Kinahan and Nineteen Ninety Two by Lisa McGee. On June 17th, the featured plays/writers are Meeting Miss Ireland by Rosemary Jenkinson, Blue Light Flashes by Claire Kilroy and Birdsong by Ursula Rani Sarma.

I am thinking (or maybe I can see), that while more companies jump to the cloud, migrating their existing software solutions and services, things like 'tech-debt' or 'architectural-debt' are going to become a first class citizen and hot topic, again. Which is a good thing! Really!!!
I am very happy about it, because I do believe that tech debt, over-engineered solutions or hype driven development do actually contribute to an increase rate of 'mediocre' software solutions and services, while we (the software engineers) think that we are doing just great.
But how tech debt is going to be again, a hot topic among meetings while migrating to the cloud? It is simple, the bill by the end of the month! Are you doing micro-services for no reason at all? Do you have a small monolith broken down to 1000 different pieces because this is the trend- for no good reason? Is your API chatty? Have you bundled a ton of libraries and features to your product that actually are not needed but it was just to play around with tech or your engineers to feel happy? Is your code spinning the CPU for no good reason? Is your code using the filesystem inefficiently?
Maybe you had a 'hint' of these problems, but there were not so intense when you had full control or ownership of the deployment platform.
But now you don't control the hardware, you are being billed by individual operations.You PAY!
And at a certain point people will start to think about it again. Why our Google Cloud bill or AWS bill is so big? Maybe some will decide to go back. Who knows?
What I do suggest though is, spend some time and review your solution, your architecture and the quality of your code. There are for sure, great advantages offloading your infrastructure concerns to a more flexible - elastic world, but it is still YOUR software. And all the sins and mistakes of your software are not going to be 'hidden' or auto-magically resolved because you moved to the cloud, there is a high chance they are going to get' bigger'.
The cloud is great, but it wont make bad software great.
