🎶 One step closer...I am one step closer to heaven... 🎶 This song sets such a mood. I can imagine myself sipping a dark red in a dim-lit room, wearing a silky slip, watching silent black and white movies while this track by Supreme Beings of Leisure plays softly in the background.
"Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makakarating sa paroroonan."
Getting dolled up and dressed to the nines is very much a part of the T'boli way of life. There's even a ritual dance in honor of it! It's probably the very first dance I learned as a toddler. I haven't been busting a move lately but I might be in the mood at the @helpinghandsfilaminc #GatsbyCharityGala 😉 Come party with us, for a cause! If you haven't already, go get your tickets!

Monday Mood! Saw @yourbaroness last night and they are proof that Metal can be very romantic. Found myself and this guy slow dancing to their softer tunes in between the moshpitting! (The kids, not us! Just an old married couple here!) Thanks @kdatusouvenirsofficial and @sj_cayugan for our rockin' threads!
Missing my birthplace. But here is home, too! My love, my refuge, my Ian Weinstein <3 My dad never pegged me as the type who would get married. He used to say, "No one can tie Cecille down!" And no one can. Relationships are not about getting tethered anyway. It's about constantly choosing to stay! No special occasion. Just blessed to wake up next to this one everyday.
cloudBuy (AIM: cbuy.L), the cloud eCommerce marketplace, today provides an update on trading in the six months ended 30 June 2014.
Trading in the first six months has been in line to achieve market expectations for the full year, with spend analysis and eProcurement invoicing growing by 50%. A large part of the invoicing was at the end of the period and this invoiced revenue will be recognised in future periods, so that recognised revenue for this period will be similar to the first half of the prior year.
cloudBuy has made demonstrable progress in each of its three key target opportunities; these being global expansion, social care and health. The investment in global expansion has resulted, as anticipated, in an increased loss for the period, but this is offset by a strong pipeline of contract wins that the Board expects to deliver in the second half of the year.
cloudBuy has analysed over $10bn US Dollars of spend in Asia Pacific in the first 6 months and this has provided good visibility of the future pipeline across the large participating organisations. A number of these are government organisations which have been through a process of validation and testing over the past six months, prior to releasing data and creating business cases for the implementation of the cloudBuy marketplace.
The Company's roll out plan was initially focused on Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. cloudBuy is on track with projects underway in Australia and Hong Kong, and late stage prospects in New Zealand. The team in India has expanded its focus from back office support to sales and the Company has a good pipeline of opportunities with large Indian companies and global corporates, building out from the first smaller customer. cloudBuy continues to work closely with Visa Asia Pacific and its member banks to develop this market.
In both India and Hong Kong the Company has opportunities which require the marketplace to also support local taxation, language and cross border trading in a single global solution. This is particularly important for global corporations and is not catered for in any existing solution apart from the cloudBuy solution. The Company has been working to enhance the platform to support these activities and currently the marketplace and supplier solutions are being translated into Hindi, and traditional and simplified Chinese to meet customer requirements.
cloudBuy has had requests from corporate and government bodies in the Middle East and Africa for spend analysis and marketplace solutions. Following two successful visits to the region it is clear that there are good opportunities in the Middle East with the potential for a live project in the second half. Oracle has a major footprint across public and private sector organisations in the Middle East and in response to the projects identified the Company has become an Oracle Gold Partner, in order to better service these opportunities. cloudBuy also has unsolicited live opportunities in North America, which remains a focus for the future.
During the period the Company secured a number of contract wins in Social Care with 'thought leading' councils and has now established itself as a market leader in this rapidly growing segment, where over 80% of the available market has yet to choose a solution. In tandem, the NHS is implementing personal health budgets and cloudBuy has built on its existing relationship with NHS Shared Business Services to offer the 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) a solution, with a potential market value of 5 million people at £60 each per annum. cloudBuy are the only eMarketplace provider that is accredited by the NHS to hold patient data, and already integrated into NHS SBS giving the company a competitive advantage.
Health Minister Dr Daniel Poulter MP recently commended cloudBuy's work with NHS Shared Business Services at the Local Government Association Conference and the Company subsequently received strong interest from delegates at the conference into the joint national solution for local authorities with Northamptonshire County Council and The Grass Roots Group PLC. The projected revenues from this partnership are up to £1 million per annum to cloudBuy per local authority.. With over 90 authorities yet to choose a solution this represents a major opportunity for the Company.
The NHS has now created its new procurement strategy and Health Minister Dr Daniel Poulter MP pointed out to delegates at the Local Government Association Conference that cloudBuy is expert in this area, has an existing contract with NHS Shared Business Service that can be used immediately and can actively help the NHS achieve its efficiency targets. cloudBuy and NHS Shared Business Service have already identified over £2 billion in annual savings for the NHS. NHS progress towards action has continued with the recent price benchmarking website launched by Dr Daniel Poulter MP on 22 July, which increases the opportunity to select cloudBuy's ready-made solution.
Ronald Duncan, Executive Chairman, commented: "We are pleased with the progress made in the first half of the year. The new team has bedded in and is driving increasing numbers of new prospects. The scale of each of our current opportunities gives me the confidence that we have three ways to achieve our 2-4 year objective of £50m revenue at 90% margin, and organisationally we are focused on the actions we need to undertake to ensure that we deliver on this objective. We have made the transition to a transactional charging model with our new prospects, which longer term will drive larger and more sustainable revenues than our traditional licence model. The economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East are very strong and there is a clear appetite for our solutions, coupled with a limited installed base of existing solutions. It is always difficult to establish the first live project in a new business area or geography but we have achieved this with live clients in Asia Pacific to give confidence to our prospects, we anticipate faster closure across the pipeline."
The Company expects to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2014 on 21 August 2014.
Candace Crespi reflects on coming face to face with victims of the wildlife trade whilst filming Guardians of Raja Ampat in the remote archipelago scattered across 15,000 square miles of sea at the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s West Papua Province “My belief is, that once we have uncovered such an important truth, we have an obligation… no, a duty, to do something about it.” – Shawn Heinrichs Ayau is the northernmost inhabited area of Raja Ampat, consisting of small islands on a very large atoll. As we made our way towards the village of Rutum, we came across something on the surface of the water - a dead, delaminated Hawksbill turtle. The top layer of its shell was sliced off and removed, the most recent victim of the endangered species trade. This is the face of the fight Shawn Heinrichs and I are exposing back home with OPS’ newest documentary Racing Extinction. While filming in Hainan, our team observed countless numbers of endangered Hawksbill turtles lining the walls and shelves of shops. The outreach campaign to coincide with the film will have a section focused on turtles. We jumped into the water to gather footage in hopes it could be used to raise awareness and help people understand how consumerism is ultimately linked to species extinction. As we got face to face with the animal, tears quickly filled my mask. Poachers had cut into and peeled the external laminate of its shell; its eyes were open but void of life. There is no rational explanation for this – the only word that comes to mind is exploitation. This is the reality of the endangered species trade. I sat down with Shawn to discuss what we had seen that day: “My initial reaction is frustration and anger. I look into its eyes and there is a lot of sadness in my heart. I’ve worked with these animals alive, I’ve filmed them, and tried to rescue them. Imagine this little Hawksbill turtle that’s born on this beach, on a full moon, flippers into the water… somehow over the next twenty years evades the predators – the sharks, the gulls – and grows to maturity… and within this great expansive ocean where we’ve depleted their numbers down to a fraction, somehow finds a mate, mates, and instead of going to the nearest beach it somehow navigates its way back to its very birthplace to lay its eggs. That’s the crescendo moment of its life to start the next cycle, and just before it gets to the beach, or on the beach, someone swoops in and grabs it.” Turtles are completely helpless; they have no defensive mechanisms other than their shells, which can be effective against toothed predators, but not against man. A sharp instrument was used to peel the outer layer, bit by bit, until the entire outer coating was gone. The harvested elements would be shipped off somewhere else in the world to create ornamental combs and glasses. But why did they take the external laminate and discard the rest like garbage? Years ago someone in the area died after eating a hawksbill turtle. In the most remote and least developed part of Raja Ampat, where locals are embracing conservation, we’ve just come across a reminder of just how bad the endangered species trade is. Despite valuing their resources, villagers took what they wanted and disposed of the rest. As much as steps being taken here to connect with and preserve natural resources inspire us, this is a reminder of the constant care and diligence needed for long-term change. In each of our own ways we are exploiting and taking. For remote communities that have very little, if someone is going to be an exploiter, their natural resources are all that’s available to them – that’s their way to make money. It is vital to create livelihood alternatives, making it much more valuable to keep that turtle alive than to extract it. Instead of being angry and heartbroken, instead of judging, we must go deeper to understand why this exists, what drives it, and what help these communities need to make it stop. Shawn told me that the hardest part of his job was that “even in the areas we’re making amazing headway, and really driving change within the community, there are still the holdouts.” Perhaps they are there to remind us that the work is far from over. No matter how good we feel about what’s been done, we must always keep pushing and foraging ahead to prevent sliding back. We have an obligation to never stop fighting for these voiceless victims. ------ Sign up with Racing Extinction to learn more!

The D-Link DGS-1210 Series is the latest generation of switches to provide increased Power over Ethernet (PoE) output, a range of physical interface types, multiple management interfaces, and advanced Layer 2 features. With all of these features combined, the DGS-1210 Series provides a cost-efficient and flexible solution for expanding any business network.
The DGS-1210-10MP switch is equipped with 8 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 2 1000Base-X SFP ports. The switch includes support for IEEE 802.3af/at and higher power budget, allowing more PoE devices to be powered by the switch and for devices to be installed in remote locations without immediate access to power outlets.
The DGS-1210-10MP switch comes equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to directly connect to the switch for fast, reliable data transfers. The switch also supports advanced features such as static routes, which allow network administrators to divide the network into VLANs, increasing network efficiency. Network maintenance features include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection significantly speeds up troubleshooting by automatically detecting and shutting down switching loops. The cable diagnostics feature, designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, determines the cable quality and quickly discovers errors, allowing for hassle-free diagnostics and maintenance.
The DGS-1210-10MP supports Auto Voice VLAN and Surveillance Mode, which allows voice and video traffic to be automatically identified and handled differently to regular network traffic. Auto Voice VLAN detects Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic and automatically segments it from the rest of the network, increasing security and allowing Quality of Service (QoS) to be applied. Surveillance Mode detects compatible ONVIF cameras and places them in a surveillance VLAN, allowing a single switch to be used for voice, video, and data, removing the need for dedicated hardware and reducing maintenance costs. Surveillance Mode also includes its own Web UI, making surveillance features easily accessible and simplifying management of your surveillance network.
The DGS-1210-10MP switch comes with the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) utility that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The D-Link Network Assistant utility furthermore allows customers to easily discover multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches within the same L2 network segment and display them on-screen for instant access. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC. This allows for simultaneous configuration and basic setup of all discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades. The switch also supports D-View 7.0 and Command Line Interface (CLI) through Telnet. D-View 7.0 is a network management system that allows for the central management of critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience, and security.

Café Cairo, Voted The Best Pick-Up Bar in Bermuda!
Bermuda is not just a pretty island with pink sand beaches and luxurious resorts where couples come for some well-earned vacations or wonderful honeymoons. Nor is it just for golfers travelling from all around the world for the privilege to play on some of the best courses on the planet in some of the best conditions. Bermuda is also an island where people come to party!
But don’t think it is the type of party you can see in the Caribbean. Bermuda is a classy place and party with class.You can go anywhere for a drink or a dance, mainly for both, on the island and you won’t risk to see the place ruined by herds of crazy and loud tourists still wearing their beach outfit.
For those who are in on a girlie or a lads holiday, there are many places to spend the night dancing away after a lazy day around the swimming pool or by the sea. But which of them is the best place to meet single people in search of fun and adventures? Well, for the second year running, the Best of Bermuda Award of The Bermudian for the best pick-up bar was given to the Café Cairo.
This suave and sophisticated restaurant/café underwent a complete renovation to stay the best nightlife spot in Front Street, Hamilton. It is a place with its own special atmosphere and with a philosophy contained in its dress code: dress to impress. Located on the second floor of a decorated waterfront building, the Egyptian themed café is a favourite of the locals and has two faces. Until 10:30pm, Cairo Café is a restaurant and café serving traditional Middle East cuisine in a North African décor of hand-carved Egyptians chairs and tables made of inscribed copper bed frames. The place serves lunches between 12noon and 2:30pm, Monday to Friday, and dinner from 6:30pm to 10:30pm, Monday to Saturday. There is a wine bar open from 5pm to 1am, Monday to Saturday.
There is also a Bedouin-style dining room with plush cushions for those who want a relax yet authentic dinner. For even more North African authenticity, the Café Cairo has an hookah lounge, a covered outside area where you can smoke at the fruit-flavoured tobacco pipes.
After 10pm and until 3pm, the Café Cairo turns into a night-club and the atmosphere gets jumping. You can still get food as it served late at night, but most people turn their attention to the dance-floor. It can become absolutely packed on the week-end because it is the place where everyone wants to come and finish the night. Given the popularity of the place and to keep it friendly, it is recommended for men to be accompanied by a woman to ensure they will get in.
It is definitely the most hip place in Hamilton and a place where locals and holiday-makers are mixing until 3am and sometimes later. The hookah pipes that are located at the back are a popular features while the dance-floor gets barely empty thanks to a DJ playing dance music and R&B tunes all night.
The Cairo Café might be the best pick-up place in Bermuda but that’s not all it is: a great restaurant, a great night-club and a very lively place.

In 2017, according to Market Insights Reports, the size of the charity market was estimated at an impressive 747 billion USD and it is clear that an enormous volume of ‘peer-to-peer transactions’ are not being measured, i.e the spare change many of us give to people on the streets or the impulsive donations we give to charity from time to time.
employed, apart from the role that monasteries played two hundred years ago having now been taken over by philanthropic foundations. While the sources of funds now have phones, printers and computers in their offices, the problems haunting the industry have remained the same. It is difficult for philanthropists to find worthwhile projects, and then quickly and seamlessly transfer money to them while being sure that the aid that they provide reaches the addressee and is used purposefully for a just cause without any significant transaction costs.
The Humancoin platform offers a revolutionary solution for the charity industry. During the ongoing token sale, the project has already raised its soft cap of 6 million USD. The consolidation of blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency market and e-commerce loyalty programs into a project will forever change the charity industry.
The integration of consumer loyalty programs with the charity industry will create a strong emotional resonance. The future of online retail lies in being able to completely personalize each offer, and blockchain is one of the main stimuli for this further development.
— exceeds 3.5 trillion USD. By ensuring the necessary trust between donors and the aid recipients, blockchain technology can propel this industry to incredible new heights.
The rise of a charitable blockchain platform integrated into online commerce loyalty programs and cryptocurrencies will change the philanthropy industry forever. The symbiosis of e-commerce and cryptocurrencies will facilitate an increase in the number of donors. For those involved in online commerce, offering a bonus affiliated with charity is an effective way to position their brand on an emotional level with their clients, as well as being an important element in any PR-campaign. And finally, the whole process is just very convenient for everyone involved.

Feuding sisters Vera and Nadezhda forge an uneasy alliance when their 84 year old father announces he is in love....with a 36 year old Ukrainian sporting superior Botticellian breasts. You don't have to be fascinated by tractors to enjoy this book, but be prepared for humour and tragedy to run side by side as the story unfolds.
The second phone call came a few days after the first.
See how he comes straight to the point? No small talk. No 'How are you? How are Mike and Anna?' No chit-chat about the weather. Nothing frivolous will hold him up when he is in the grip of a Big Idea.
Why is he asking me? How would I know? I don't want to know. I don't want this kick of emotion that drags me back to the bogey-nose days, to the time when my Daddy was still my hero and I was still vulnerable to his disapproval.
