"Everyone should have a go at entering model search competitions, as you never know when you might get picked up and it opens lots of doors to models.”

Wearing no jewellery but her engagement ring Tappenden looked very typical girl next door.
Since Big Brother Tappenden has been in the lime light working on her first single ‘Drunk’ due to be released in March 2010.

Hundred years ago an Angel was born

Just hundred years ago on this day, 26th August, an angel was sent to this earth to show the hungry world the panacea for its unending problems. The angel came with an olive branch of peace and love.

The little woman of Macedonia conquered the whole world
The dove of peace with an olive branch came from the ancient land Greece. Alexander the Great was born in Macedonia twenty-three centuries back, with an ambition to conquer the whole world with his sword. He came to India, failed in his attempt and returned to his country ‘empty handed’. A little girl was born in Macedonia, on August 26, 1910, with a destiny to conquer the whole world with the magic mantra of LOVE. When this angel was born, the world was getting ready to massacre the whole earth with the cruel hands of World War. Selfishness was reigning on the peak with greedy eyes of colonization. And this girl Agnes was brought up on the piled ash hills of both World Wars that bathed Europe and the world in innocent blood. She came to India in search of a remedy for man’s unending problems and suicidal greed. She conquered the whole world with her little heart of great love!

The Maid of the Gutters
“The Maid of the Gutters,” as mother Teresa was called, began her service of love in the Indian city of Calcutta, now known as Kolkata. Actually, when she came to India she was given the work of a teacher by her congregation. But her heart was moved by the suffering mass. She was shocked to see human beings treated mercilessly and thrown into gutters. The pitiable plight of the uncared ‘God’s images’ in the streets made her heart bleed. Through her Congregation of charity, she invaded the whole world. Selfless love was her only weapon of encounter.

Throughout the whole world
Mother Teresa, in her expedition of love, continued out of Kolkata to capture the hearts of the world at large—the hearts of dictators and despots, for which she was criticized, as much as the hearts of presidents and other democrats and the common people, for which she was given the deemed Nobel Prize. It is the first time in history that dollars from the fortunes of dynamite-maker and possible drug lords have come to be used to the dying thousands and deserted millions all over the world!

The world’s hunger for love
Mother Teresa has expressed many a time the greatest problem of the world. “The world today is very hungry. It is not only the physical hunger that causes thousands die. But it is the spiritual hunger--the craving for love--that creates all the problems in the world.”

A conqueror of death
Mother Teresa has conquered death by her love. She conquered death by saving thousands from the jaws of death, dying on the streets of Kolkata. Even after her physical death, she has grown in stature, still living in the hearts of millions!

Two Legends

Great singers like Selena Quintanilla and Aaliyah Haughton are my favorite legends. Both of them had an impact on people. I still think of them and feel very inspired. The memories of them are not dead, and I feel the need to go on writing and creating art of them. I think about what they could have done and all of the things that Selena and Aaliyah did not get a chance to do. They were both on their way to be greater than what they were. I can not say that it would have been too much for them. They had great responsibility to lead whether they considered themselves as leaders or not. Selena and Aaliyah were good girls and people would have done anything for them. I believe that they helped to change some people just being alive using their talents in a good way. Selena and Aaliyah knew that they were great, but I don't think they realize what it was that they needed to do for God with their abilities. Maybe God allowed them to be taken in order for them to see what needed to be done. Maybe Selena and Aaliyah left us because they were needed for higher things and to meet God.


Today, I feel inspired and can feel something spiritually about the two of them. I believe that if they are with Christ, they are not dead. We understand the word dead as seeing a person die and leaving their bodies. We do not think of the rest of it. Aaliyah and Selena are both spirit now compared to us that are physically alive. They are like the angels now. Matt. 22:29-32 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. (30) For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. (31) I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. So spiritually Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are not dead. They are in heaven. The same thing applies for Aaliyah and Selena if they are in heaven.

Art

Today I go on making banners for my blogs, art, and writing about them. This is one of the banners that I have made of Aaliyah. I look at many pictures of Selena and Aaliyah in order to paint and draw on computer. I also draw by hand and use 3D modeling programs. It's not always easy to do.

Miss Brown's Dress

can remember this moment as a child
That now after many years I can still smile
But the time that it had happened
It was not a very happy occasion

My mother among her many gifts
Could on some occasions work as a seamstress
One day she was to face a very big test
Of making a dress for a woman who was fussy and a real pest.

She took the material and placed it on the table
Recorded the measurements in her book, wrote them quite legible
The she laid the cloth out and started cutting to specification
But during the process she had to leave to handle another situation

Leaving her scissors still in the fabric
Somehow I thought it was sign for me to complete it
So there I was snipping, smiling and cutting so happily
Beaming as i thought she will be so happy as her work was made easy

When she returned my she was so surprise
There was anger and fire burning in her eyes
My cutting was such that there was such damage
I could see there was nothing there that she could salvage.

My what were you were thinging at all
There cloth is so cut up, cannot even make a dress for a doll
But most of all what will i tell Miss Brown
You know she will make this headlines through the town

Software as a Service Deployment

In 2008 a report produced by analyst company Gartner stated that they expect as much as 25 percent of all software will be delivered through a Software as a Service (SaaS) by 2011. Having written on this subject at that time (with a particular focus on Business Intelligence) it is of-course appropriate to review where business stands today.

In some respects this prediction is ahead of schedule, certainly in respect of both small and mid-sized corporations; yet still behind schedule in respect of large corporations.

SaaS and the Large or Global Corporation

One of the challenges of the SaaS based community is the generalised acceptance of this category of solution within large corporations. Many have invested considerable amounts on their existing solutions and that investment is not about to be set-aside simply because a new approach to deployment becomes available.

Solutions like Salesforce.com on the face of it seem to offer significant benefit in offering a mobile sales force the opportunity to 'log-in' wherever they they can find a browser in the world and update crucial information about the status of the accounts they manage. Yet often the same can be said for any existing CRM solution; the majority of which offer external web-based access to the corporate application. In fact the majority of corporate applications today have a large user community who only access applications through web-browsers. What then is the difference between a web based application and Software as a Service?

To the business user there should be no difference, they access and enter data as needed. However, the majority of the corporate based solutions will store the data associated with all transactions on corporate servers; with local IT staff being responsible for managing the solution. Of course some corporations have facilities management companies managing their systems, yet they are still corporate owned systems, with the company both owning and controlling the data within each application. One of the advantages potentially offered is the ability to globalize all the applications provision without having to manage a 24*7 service infrastructure.

This distinction is important. The data, applications, servers, etc. are all an asset owned by the corporation. Generally these corporations wish to retain ownership and view security as a major concern. Some of the challenges here do include statutory reporting; as it is felt that there is too large a risk with data being held on external servers.

The Small or Mid-Sized Business and the Cloud

For small and medium sized businesses the challenges are different. Most of the modern businesses treat their IT systems as a tool rather than an asset. Not maintaining their own servers has distinct advantages in that they simply pay a service cost for storage. In 2008 many were feeling the economic pressures in their battle for survival.

Many small business owners are looking for cost effective IT solutions. SaaS or Cloud based solutions are able to assist controlling operating costs and improve the effectiveness of their operations. Smaller businesses no longer have to be disadvantaged in terms of the quality of the applications available to them. Cloud based sales channel management give the small corporation the same capabilities as the large corporation. Indeed many actually run the same software as mega-corporations at a fraction of the cost. How? Because solution providers, like Oracle, are opening up their application availability. The difference between the SME and the global corporation being the location of the data.

The Cloud based application provider will manage the data on the company's behalf, they will retain a database that holds all client data, with software controls that ensure that each data set remains separate. Irrespective of size, every business has to be able to store, protect, manage, and whenever necessary, recover business data. It is the software supplier that becomes responsible for managing the database, protecting the data. When they are not able to manage protection correctly they can be exposing their customer to downtime and potential damage to its reputation. While global enterprises generally have IT resources and personnel to address these concerns internally, small businesses normally do not have this luxury; unless they adopt Cloud based solutions; the distinction between their application and that the global corporation adopts - customisation. Few of the low-end solutions allow customisation.

Many of the statutory concerns exist for the small business, dependent on their industry, yet is is clear that despite this SaaS can support legal compliance requirements.

The Future of the Cloud?

Clearly Cloud computing will continue to attract both praise and criticism. Does the criticism have a real foundation, or is it simply based on fear of the unknown? Certainly many small businesses are moving ahead with their plans through the use of Software as a Service and it has brought cost effective access to powerful solutions, yet with big business there is still resistance, which will certainly continue beyond 2011.
