The following Terms & Conditions apply to any person who completes an Account Application and/or any person undertaking any transaction with Xecryptobank ('the Client'). These Terms & Conditions shall replace any prior or existing agreement between the Client and Xecryptobank ('Xecryptobank'), or previously issued terms & conditions, and shall apply to any existing arrangements currently operating between the Client and Xecryptobank. By executing an Account Application and/or undertaking any transaction with Xecryptobank the Client hereby agrees to be bound by the following Terms & Conditions (as amended from time to time).
The Client wishes Xecryptobank to deal in exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial products on their behalf in accordance with the Client's instructions from time to time, and in accordance with the Terms & Conditions contained herein.
"Account" means the account of the Client dealing in the financial products issued by Xecryptobank, which is established in accordance with theseTerms & Conditions.
"Cryptocurrency" refers to all tradable Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrencies and tokens offered by the Xecryptobank.
"Closing Price" means in relation to a Cryptocurrency the Underlying Security Price as determined by Xecryptobank at the time Xecryptobank receives the Closing Notice.
"Initial Margin" means an amount required to be deposited by the Client with Xecryptobank to open a position.
the Client will take all reasonable steps to obtain and communicate to Xecryptobank all information, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Xecryptobank all documents with respect to dealings in the financial products which are requested by any person having the right to request such documents and information. The Client authorises Xecryptobank to pass on/deliver all such information and documents to any such person.
Xecryptobank relies on representations and warranties made by the Client. These representations and warranties and those contained elsewhere in these Terms & Conditions, survive the entering into of these Terms & Conditions and are repeated in respect of each financial product transaction.
Xecryptobank agrees to establish an account in the name of the Client, who is the person named as the holder of the account.
No one except the Client has an interest in the Client's account with Xecryptobank opened for the purposes of these Terms & Conditions.
Any Collateral transferred by the Client to Xecryptobank or held by Xecryptobank or its counterparties on behalf of the Client is pledged as a security for any liability that the Client may have towards Xecryptobank. Client warrants that all such Collateral are beneficially owned by the Client and are and will remain free from any lien, charge, security interest if other encumbrance. If the Client fails to fulfill any obligation under these Terms & Conditions, Xecryptobank is entitled to sell any Collateral immediately without notice and by the means and at the price that Xecryptobank in its reasonable discretion determines. Xecryptobank shall not be liable for any loss occasioned by such sale.
Financial product trades executed through Xecryptobank are routed to Xecryptobank's service provider, who then facilitates execution and/or clearing on our behalf. Depending on the relevant jurisdiction or exchange, either Xecryptobank or its service provider will be the registered owner of the instrument, within Xecryptobank's client omnibus account. The value and dividends are then provided to clients by Xecryptobank in accordance with their recorded, and continually reconciled, holdings. However, if Xecryptobank were to go into liquidation, and an administrator appointed, clients would be prima facie entitled to fair value for their recorded holdings, rather than holding such instruments in their name directly, thereby placing clients in the position of unsecured creditors with the administrators.
Xecryptobank enters into arrangements with third party execution and clearing providers for the facilitation of transactions and settlements, and avails monies received for margin calls and settlements to such providers for this purpose.
However, if the Client has deposited money or Collateral on one account, Xecryptobank is entitled to transfer money or Collateral from one account to another, even if such transfer will necessitate the closing of margin trades on the account from which the transfer takes place.
The Client acknowledges that neither Xecryptobank nor any associated entity guarantees the performance of any given financial product or account nor that any financial product or account will achieve a particular rate of return.
Where errors have occurred in price quotes provided by, or the pricing of transactions quoted by Xecryptobank to the Client, Xecryptobank reserves the right to not be bound by such a quote or transaction where Xecryptobank is able to substantiate to the Client that there was a material error at the time of the quote or transaction. Where this occurs in relation to the initial purchase of a financial product, Xecryptobank will not issue (or if already issued will cancel) the Contract and refund the Client's money accordingly. Where this occurs in relation to a price quote for an existing position, Xecryptobank will re-issue the price quote accordingly.
Xecryptobank is entitled, in its reasonable opinion, to determine that an emergency of an exceptional market condition exists. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, the suspension or closure of any market or the abandonment or failure of any event to which Xecryptobank relates its quote or the occurrence of an excessive movement in the level of any margin trade and/or underlying market or Xecryptobank's reasonable anticipation of the occurrence of such a movement. In such cases Xecryptobank may increase its margin requirements, close any or all of the Client's open margin trades and/or suspend or modify the application of all or any of the terms, including but not limited to, altering the last time for trading a particular margin trade, to the extent that the condition makes it impossible or impracticable for Xecryptobank to comply with the term in question.
Anything Xecryptobank is permitted to do in accordance with these Terms & Conditions may be done in its absolute discretion, and any opinion or view required to be formed by Xecryptobank may be formed in its absolute discretion.
Xecryptobank seeks to act honestly, exercise due care and diligence and act in the Client's best interests at all times. Xecryptobank will give priority to Client interests and undertakes that it will not misuse Client information. Xecryptobank will use reasonable endeavours to execute or arrange the execution of the Client's instructions.
Xecryptobank will arrange execution and clearing for transactions in financial products defined herein, and other authorised services as agreed with the Client from time to time.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed, Xecryptobank will provide services on an execution only basis in accordance with the Client's instructions, and will not provide advice to the Client regarding the merits of a transaction. The Client is hereby prohibited from treating any remark made by a Xecryptobank representative regarding the market, transaction or forecast as advice.
Any transaction or market information or research provided by Xecryptobank to the Client is provided as general information only, and does not constitute and cannot be relied upon as a recommendation to trade. Xecryptobank makes no representation, warranty or guarantee, and accepts no liability for, the accuracy or completeness of any such information, and the Client relies on such at its sole risk.
Xecryptobank may amend or replace these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Amended or replaced Terms & Conditions will be posted on [website address] and will be effective immediately upon posting.

Xecryptobank agrees to grant the Client access to one or more electronic terminals, including terminal access through the Client's Internet browser, for the electronic transmission of orders to the Client's account with Xecryptobank.

The online trading facility provided by Xecryptobank may be used to transmit, receive and confirm the execution of orders, subject to market conditions and applicable operating rules and regulations.

Xecryptobank may offer real-time tradable prices to the Client. Due to delayed transmission between the Client and Xecryptobank the price offered may have changed before an order from the Client is received by Xecryptobank. If automatic order execution is offered to the Client, Xecryptobank shall be entitled to change the price on which the Client's order is executed to the market value at the time which the order from the Client was received.
Xecryptobank does not warrant that access to or use of the online trading facility will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the service will meet any particular criteria with respect to its performance or quality.

Xecryptobank may at any time at its sole discretion terminate or restrict any Client's access to the online trading facility at any time. Should Xecryptobank terminate these Terms & Conditions or access to the trading platform the Client will be liable for all fees charges and obligations incurred under these Terms & Conditions prior to termination.
The Client acknowledges that the Client has alternative arrangements in place at all times, for the transmission and execution of orders, if for any reason, circumstances prevent the transmission and execution of all, or any portion of, the Client's orders through the online trading facility. In the event the online trading facility not being operational, the Client agrees to contact Xecryptobank to make alternative order entry arrangements. Such arrangements may be in the form of telephone, or as otherwise agreed.
The Client hereby authorises Xecryptobank to trade in the financial products on their behalf pursuant to the prior approval and instruction of the Client, or otherwise in accordance with Xecryptobank' rights elsewhere under these Terms & Conditions.
The Client may communicate their instructions to Xecryptobank via the online trading facility or by telephone. Faxed or email orders will not be accepted unless pursuant to a prior agreed arrangement between Xecryptobank and Client.
In consideration of Xecryptobank agreeing to accept telephone (or other written) instructions from the Client, Client acknowledges that Xecryptobank is not obliged to accept/implement such instructions, and will not be liable to the Client or any other party should such instructions be unauthorised, forged or fraudulently given.
The Client may authorise any other person (the Authorised Signatory) to give instructions on its behalf and Xecryptobank is entitled to act upon instructions which are or appear to be from the Client or any Authorised Signatory thereof. It is the Client's sole responsibility to notify Xecryptobank in writing immediately if there is any change to the Authorised Signatory list provided.
Xecryptobank may, in its sole discretion and without explanation, refuse to act upon any instruction.
The Client authorises Xecryptobank to trade in EFP transactions on behalf of and at the request of the Client in accordance with the relevant exchange Operating Rules. The Client will not engage in EFPs unless a bona fide physical transaction in a commodity or instrument is completed OR where both sides of the physical transaction or the financial product Contract are taken out on behalf of the Client.
If the Client is more than one person, Xecryptobank may act upon instructions received from any one person who is, or appears to Xecryptobank to be, such a person, whether or not such person is an Authorised Person.
Xecryptobank is under no obligation to accept any instruction that is not made by an Authorised Person or to enquire as to the identity of any person providing the instruction if it reasonably believes the person is an Authorised Person.
Should Xecryptobank receive any instruction that it reasonably assumes was from an Authorised Person, Xecryptobank will not be liable for any properly performed action or omission by Xecryptobank in reliance on that instruction.
Xecryptobank shall not be liable for any act or omission by Xecryptobank in reliance on any instruction given or action taken by any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Client who is not listed as an Authorised Person.
In general, Xecryptobank shall act according to instructions as soon as practically possible and shall, as far as trading instructions are concerned, act within a time frame reasonable seen in the context of the nature of the instruction. However, if after instructions are received, Xecryptobank believes that it is not reasonable practicable to act upon such instructions within a reasonable time, Xecryptobank may defer acting upon those instructions until it is, in Xecryptobank's reasonable opinion, practicable to do so or notify the Client that Xecryptobank is refusing to act upon such instructions.
Xecryptobank will not be deemed to have any order or communication electronically transmitted by the Client until Xecryptobank has actual knowledge of any such order or communication. The mere transmission of an instruction by the Client shall not constitute a binding contract between Xecryptobank and the Client. The terms of any order or communication electronically transmitted to the Client may be subject to change or correction. Regardless of the fact that the online trading facility might confirm that a Contract is executed immediately when the Client transmits instructions via the online trading facility, the confirmation forwarded by Xecryptobank or made available on the online trading facility constitutes Xecryptobank's confirmation of a Contract. Any instruction sent electronically shall only be deemed to have been received and shall only then constitute a valid instruction and/or binding Contract between Xecryptobank and the Client when such instruction has been recorded as executed by Xecryptobank and confirmed by Xecryptobank to the Client including through a trade confirmation and/or account statement.
The Client acknowledges and warrants that it has received a password granting it access to the online trading facility; is the sole owner of the password provided; and accepts full responsibility for any transaction that may occur on an account opened, held or accessed through the use of the password provided to the Client by Xecryptobank, even if such use may be unauthorised or wrongful.

The Client may request on any given Business Day, via telephone or otherwise, Xecryptobank to quote a price at which Xecryptobank may be prepared to enter into a financial product transaction. The Client acknowledges that a price quotation pursuant to this request does not constitute an offer to enter into a new or close an existing financial product.
Upon receiving the quote from Xecryptobank, the Client may via telephone or otherwise offer to enter into a financial product transaction with Xecryptobank at the price quoted by Xecryptobank.
Xecryptobank is in no way obliged to accept the Client's offer to enter into a financial product transaction and, without limitation, is not obliged to accept the Client's offer to enter into a financial product transaction, if the Client has exceeded or would exceed a predetermined limit imposed on the Client under these Terms & Conditions; or until Xecryptobank has received from the Client the Initial Margin where required, in the form of cleared funds. Xecryptobank will promptly advise the Client should Xecryptobank decide not to accept a Client's offer to enter into a financial product transaction.
The Initial Margin where required to enter into a financial product transaction, if not already received from the Client, will be payable to Xecryptobank upon acceptance by Xecryptobank of the Client's offer to enter into the financial product transaction.
Should Xecryptobank accept the Client's offer to enter into a financial product transaction, Xecryptobank will issue to the Client an electronic confirmation shortly after the financial product transaction has been entered into. This confirmation will be in the form of a deal confirmation. Failure by Xecryptobank to issue a deal confirmation will not prejudice or affect the relevant financial product transaction. Xecryptobank will not bear any liability whatsoever resulting from the failure to issue a deal confirmation.
The Client agrees to examine the terms of each deal confirmation immediately upon receipt and the Client agrees that the contents of the deal confirmation, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive evidence of the executed deal, unless within 48 hours of issue of a deal confirmation the Client notifies Xecryptobank of any disputed detail in the deal confirmation received by the Client. Upon receipt of written notice within the 48hour period of the disputed detail, Xecryptobank will investigate the dispute and with the co-operation of the Client, will endeavour to resolve the dispute in good faith. Notwithstanding any such dispute, the Client will continue to satisfy any obligation to pay Margin calls made by Xecryptobank in respect of the transaction as if the deal confirmation was correct and its details were not the subject of dispute.
In its absolute discretion, Xecryptobank reserves the right to limit the value of financial product transactions the Client may have outstanding under these Terms & Conditions. Should the Client wish to enter into any further financial product transactions, the Client must seek and obtain approval from Xecryptobank, which Xecryptobank may grant or refuse in its absolute discretion.
If the Client provides Xecryptobank with standing instructions to enter into a financial product transaction when a particular price level is reached in the market of the underlying security, the Client acknowledges that the price at which the financial product transaction is entered into may not be the same as the price requested by the Client as Xecryptobank may elect not to enter into the financial product transaction until it has satisfied itself that it can hedge its exposure in the underlying security.
Orders may be placed as market orders to buy or sell an instrument as soon as possible at the price obtainable in the market, or limit and stop orders to trade when the price reaches a predefined level, as applicable to the various instruments offered. Limit orders to buy and stop orders to sell must be placed below the current market price, and limit orders to sell and stop orders to buy must be placed above the current market price. If the bid price for sell orders or ask price for buy orders is reached, the order will be filled as soon as possible at the price obtainable in the market. Limit and stop orders are thus not guaranteed executable at the specified level or amount, unless explicitly stated otherwise by Xecryptobank.
Xecryptobank may, in its absolute sole discretion, execute a stop loss order in relation to any Contract where there are reasonable grounds to believe that subsequent price movements may be adverse to the Client. Xecryptobank shall not be liable to the Client for any failure to exercise this discretion. A stop loss order is triggered when the Client has a sold position and the contract is traded at or above the stop loss price; or when the Client has a bought position and the contract is traded at or below the stop loss price. Once a stop loss order is triggered or executed it becomes a market order and Xecryptobank shall use its best endeavours to execute the market order. The acceptance of a stop loss order is not a guarantee or representation by Xecryptobank that the stop loss order can be executed at the stop loss price.
Xecryptobank may at its discretion aggregate the Client's orders with it own orders or orders of associates and/or persons connected with Xecryptobank including employees and other clients. In addition, Xecryptobank my split the Client's orders. Orders will generally be aggregated or split where Xecryptobank reasonably believes it to be in the overall best interests of Clients, but the Client acknowledges that on some occasions the consequence of the aggregation or splitting may result in a less favourable price than the Client's order having been executed separately.
A Margin call will not be considered to have been met UNLESS AND UNTIL cleared funds have been received by Xecryptobank in the nominated account (generally around 10am on the following Business Day).
Subject to the Client meeting all Margin Call obligations, Xecryptobank may permit the Client to withdraw from its account any excess Net free equity.
Following Business Close on each Business Day during the term of an open Cryptocurrency, Xecryptobank will determine at Business Close the Contract Value of the Cryptocurrency.
The Contract Value determined under clause 17(a) will ordinarily be the closing price of the Underlying Security quoted by the Relevant Exchange. Where Xecryptobank determines that the Contract Value of a Cryptocurrency at Business Close cannot be determined on that basis for any reason, the Contract Value will be the value determined by Xecryptobank in its sole discretion.
Without limiting sub-clause(e), if at any time trading on a Relevant Exchange is suspended or halted in any Underlying Security, Xecryptobank will, in determining the Contract Value, at its discretion have regard to the last traded price before the time of suspension or halt.
if the Client is a Long Party, the Client's account will be credited with an amount equal to any gross unfranked amount of any dividend or distribution payable to the holder of the Underlying Security (after any applicable withholding tax, other local taxes or other charges as determined by Xecryptobank) multiplied by the Contract Quantity on the first Business Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date.
If the Client is a Short Party, the Client's account will be debited with an amount equal to any gross unfranked amount of any dividend or distribution payable to the holder of the Underlying Security (plus, an amount representing any applicable withholding tax, other local taxes or other charges as determined by Xecryptobank) multiplied by the Contract Quantity on the first Business Day following the ex-dividend date.
At any time the Client may give Xecryptobank by telephone or otherwise notice of its intention to close any Cryptocurrency (whether in whole or part) by specifying the Underlying Security and the proportion of the Cryptocurrency that the Client wishes to close.
Upon receipt of a Closing Notice, Xecryptobank shall use reasonable endeavours to provide a quote for the Closing Price and notify the Client of that quote (by telephone or otherwise). It is the Client's obligation to notify Xecryptobank as soon as possible (by telephone or otherwise) as to whether the Client is willing to accept the Closing Price. Should the Client accept the Closing Price the Cryptocurrency, or relevant portion of the Cryptocurrency, will be closed on the Closing Date.
If a company, whose security represents all or part of the subject matter of a Cryptocurrency, becomes externally administered, the Cryptocurrency is taken to have been closed at the time that such administration commences. The Closing Price shall be determined by Xecryptobank who may have regard to any factors it considers appropriate including, for example, the last traded price of the Underlying Security.
Without limiting Xecryptobank's discretion, if any of the Underlying Securities cease to be quoted on a Relevant Exchange, or are suspended from quotation, or subject to a trading halt for 5 or more consecutive Business Days, Xecryptobank may, in its absolute discretion, elect to terminate the relevant Cryptocurrency by providing written notice to the Client.
All determinations and calculations made by Xecryptobank pursuant to these Terms & Conditions will be binding on the Client in the absence of manifest error.
the Client must (subject to sub-clause c) pay to Xecryptobank any amount payable by the Client to Xecryptobank in such currency as Xecryptobank may require in cleared funds within 24 hours of being advised of the amount so payable.
Xecryptobank reserves the right to offset any money owed to the Client under these Terms & Conditions or any other agreement or Contract against any money owed by the Client under these Terms & Conditions or any other agreement or Contract.
If the Client has requested payment of any money owed to the Client under this clause, Xecryptobank will deduct that money from the Client's account and pay it to the Client by cheque or in such other manner as may be agreed between Xecryptobank and the Client. If the Client has not requested payment of any money so owed to the Client it will be retained in the Client's account.
If any Underlying Security becomes subject to possible adjustment as the result of any of the events set out in this clause, Xecryptobank shall determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to the Contract Value of that Underlying Security and/or the related Contract Quantity to place the parties in substantially the same economic position they would have been in had the event not occurred. The adjustment will take effect as at the time determined by Xecryptobank, and will be conclusive and binding on the Client in the absence of manifest error.
any other event in respect of which Xecryptobank (in its absolute discretion) decides an adjustment is appropriate.
If at any time a take-over offer is made in respect of an Underlying Security, then at any time prior to the closing date of such offer, Xecryptobank may give the Client notice of Xecryptobank's intention to close the Cryptocurrency. If that happens, the Client is taken to have given a Closing Notice, with the Closing Price being the price notified to the Client by Xecryptobank.
Without limiting the above, if at any time an event occurs and Xecryptobank determines (in its absolute discretion) that it is not reasonably practicable to make an adjustment under this clause, Xecryptobank may at any time after it becomes aware of the event give the Client notice of Xecryptobank's intention to close the Cryptocurrency. If that happens, the Client is taken to have given a Closing Notice, with the Closing Price being the price notified to the Client by Xecryptobank.
Interest payments owing in respect of borrowings by the Long Party under a Cryptocurrency or in respect of borrowings by Xecryptobank from the Short Party under a Cryptocurrency shall accrue and be payable on a daily basis at Xecryptobank's prevailing rates of interest (determined at Xecryptobank's sole discretion from time to time), and shall be settled by Xecryptobank on each day by debiting or crediting the Client's account with the daily interest rate differential between the amount of interest payable by the Client and the amount of interest payable by Xecryptobank to the Client. In the event that there is insufficient Excess Variation Margin in the Client's account, the Client acknowledges that any amount due under this clause is a debt due and owing by the Client to Xecryptobank.
In debiting or crediting interest to the Client's account, Xecryptobank may charge or pay the Client interest at a rate different to the interest rate which Xecryptobank is charged or paid on equivalent borrowings of foreign currency (or otherwise) by a bank or counterparty and may retain the difference.
The rates of interest applicable under this clause may be as agreed between the Client and Xecryptobank from time to time and, in the absence of such agreement, shall be a rate determined by Xecryptobank in its absolute discretion.
An amount equivalent to the funding costs incurred by Xecryptobank in respect of all Clients NOT using the wire transfer method of payment, where a minimum trading volume equivalent to 1% of the deposit amount is not reached prior to withdrawal of the funds. For example, on a $10,000 deposit, 1% (ie a minimum of 100 lots) must be traded, otherwise Xecryptobank will return withdrawn funds less its current funding costs of 4.5% (or whatever amount has actually been paid by Xecryptobank) upon withdrawal of the funds by Client.
The Client authorises Xecryptobank to appropriate, transfer, credit, apply or pay monies that may be received by Xecryptobank or held by Xecryptobank on the Client's behalf in payment of any amounts which may be outstanding by the Client to Xecryptobank or Xecryptobank's agent in a transaction effected on the Client's behalf.
Xecryptobank may in its absolute discretion reduce or waive the minimum deposit amount, the minimum account balance or interest rates on debit balances, fees (including royalties or fees for third party services) or transaction charges, for individual clients or for classes of clients, for any length of time, with or without conditions, without notice.

Adviser commissions are payable immediately upon the entering into and the closing of a financial product transaction.
Should the Client be given access through the electronic platform or otherwise to prices or information provided by any exchange to which a royalty or other fee must be paid for the use of such prices or information, Xecryptobank shall have the right to effect the payment of any such royalty or other fee by debiting the Client's account on a monthly basis.

The Client agrees that Xecryptobank may at any time share transaction fees and charges with any other persons without being required to disclose the sharing of such fees and charges to the Client, unless such disclosure is required by law.

Xecryptobank considers it necessary to do so for its own protection.
If the Client becomes aware of the occurrence of any event referred to in clause 20(a) above, it shall notify Xecryptobank immediately.
The Client will indemnify and keep indemnified Xecryptobank and its employees, contractors or agents from and against any cost, expense, claim, action, suit, loss, damage or other amounts whatsoever arising out of any default, whether by act or omission, of the Client under these Terms & Conditions or anything lawfully done by Xecryptobank in accordance with these Terms & Conditions or by reason of Xecryptobank complying with any direction, request or requirement of an exchange or its clearing house or other regulatory authority.
Xecryptobank shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any delay or error in the transmission or execution of any dealing by it under these Terms & Conditions caused by the Client or any other third party, including but not limited to trading floor or exchange system operational failure or action, bank delay, postal delay, failure or delay of any fax or electronic transmission or delay caused by accident, emergency or act of god.

Let's do some tests now. As I described in What's new in vSphere 6: Virtual Volumes, VVOLs are created during VM management (for VM config, virtual disk, swap if needed, snapshot). Let's check how it works in practice!
VVOLs are really a cool feature! I hope that this post shows exactly how VVOLs work in practice! Maybe do you use VVOLs already? Any feedback is welcome!
I want to test VVOL with Netapp for POC. This article is exactly what I am looking for. I was wondering after creating VVOLs on NetApp, what it looks like from the NetApp management console? Is it a LUN? or not a LUN but VVOL?
it depends on how you access VVOLs. You can use block or NFS. If block --> LUNs, if NFS --> folders/files.
i am really interessed by vvols but i want to know how it is better than traditionnal DataStore. Have you a link where i can find a comparaison?

Q: Text rotation in cairo surface I need to draw some text in vertical direction using cairo. With the following code I'm not able to achieve the required angle, or In other words, I'm not able to figure out what cairo_rotate(cr, angle); interface expects in angle parameter. The sample code and output is given below.
cairo_surface_t *surface;
cairo_t *cr;

surface = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_A1, 400, 400);
cr = cairo_create(surface);

cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0, 0, 0);
cairo_select_font_face(cr, "Sans", CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL,
                       CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL);
cairo_set_font_size(cr, 40.0);

cairo_move_to(cr, 100, 50.0);
cairo_rotate(cr, 90);

cairo_show_text(cr, "Sample Text");

cairo_surface_write_to_png(surface, "image.png");

cairo_destroy(cr);
cairo_surface_destroy(surface);

A: As @Scheff pointed out in comment, void cairo_rotate (cairo_t *cr,double angle); expects radians, not angle. Its easy to be getting mislead from parameter name if you are not focusing on documentation.
Coming to the answer, If you need to rotate a text in some angle, you need to find the equivalent radians first using the given formula.

α(radians) = α(degrees) × π / 180°

The pullback reflects the firm's growing concerns about the consumer debt market, the report said.
Marcus is a key part of Goldman CEO David Solomon's growth plans for the bank.
Goldman Sachs is cutting a key target for its consumer lending platform Marcus, reflecting the firm's growing concerns about the consumer debt market, according to a new report.
The story didn't detail the new targets and a Goldman spokesman declined to comment.
"Given the competitive dynamics in the marketplace, a respect for prospective risk management, and potentially changing priorities at the firm, we would not be surprised to see some scaling back or modulation of the growth plans for the unsecured lending component of Marcus," a Credit Suisse report said on Monday.
Marcus is a key part of new Goldman CEO David Solomon's plans to grow revenue at the bank over the next several years. The company said last year it sees a $1 billion revenue opportunity with Marcus over three years.
As of June 30th, Marcus has originated $4 billion in loans, the bank said.
Yet as Marcus has grown, it's raised questions from bank analysts about the credit quality of its loans, especially as the bank has said that a chunk of its loan book is subprime.
Robin Vince, Goldman's chief risk officer, responded to some of these concerns during an investor call in August. "Our growth at the Marcus loan portfolio will continue to be prudent and disciplined. We are lending to creditworthy customers with a demonstrated ability to pay. The business is not under pressure to reach volume targets."
Marcus was first launched in the US in 2016 and is a key part of the firm's effort to diversity revenue sources and boost earnings as once lucrative trading revenue has slowed.
In April, Marcus acquired Clarity Money, a personal finance startup, to add more than 1 million additional customers to the company.
And last week, Goldman launched Marcus savings account service in the UK, which offers customers a savings account paying an interest rate of 1.5% for one year. Around 50,000 customers in the country has signed up for the retail product in the span of one week.
Goldman Sach's move to cut its loan targets came at a time when there is growing concern among lenders about the potential for increased losses in consumer credit amid rising interest rates.
U.S. household debt hit a new peak to $13.3 trillion in the second quarter of this year, while mortgages balances — the largest component of household debt — rose to a total of $9 trillion during that period, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Meanwhile, total U.S. consumer debt is on pace to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2018, a report by LendingTree said.
The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates, which helps gauge rates for consumer borrowing like mortgages and credit cards, for the third time this year. The rate now stands in a range of 2% to 2.25%, compare to 0.50% and 0.75% in December 2016.

Christoph wanted to put a ring around the cork. We did not merely intend to produce one more dry gin just like any other, not in the least. Let's imagine we're back in the late 1950s in the Black Forest. Where the Hendrick's bottle is what a designer imagines an apothecary's bottle to be like, the Monkey 47 bottle actually is what they were like; smooth, round-shouldered, thin neck and a broad lip; it is like something from a moth-balled chemistry lab. It is possible to find any number of publicly accessible, detailed recipes for absinthe dating from the 19th century, which in turn make it possible for us today to distill a 100-percent historically accurate absinthe. Just the kind of gin that we would both like to drink! Why? I wasn't looking to branch out into the glass industry; how was I going to afford that? As I've already mentioned, we use no fewer than 47 hand-picked herbal ingredients to make Monkey 47. We didn't know why that was, but we quickly determined that fresh peels would be the only option for us. Sometimes I pictured myself sitting down at my bank in Stuttgart. Experiments with fresh lemons and grapefruits followed, and we were thrilled with the results - at first, at least. At the end of all of those deliberations, the outcome was, of course, inevitable: my moment of victory -- the revenge of the common man, who had been put through such a complicated and complex development process! One must rather analyze the properties of the various substances as they interact with each other when combined in a distillate. Well, for one thing, back then gin, as an industrially produced spirit, was an utter no-man's-land for a distiller, and an artisanally distilled gin made with natural botanical ingredients was nowhere on anyone's radar screen. But what about Schwarzwald Dry Gin? Like absinthe and aquavit, gin is a very complex distillate, and many factors play a role in its development: a variety of ingredients and natural substances (the so-called "botanicals"), the quality of those ingredients, the distillation process, which may use any of a number of very different technologies (see our description below) and the sensory profile, which, as with perfume, consists of head notes, heart notes, and base notes. At that time I worked as a general manager for Nokia, the Finnish telecommunications concern, and I lived with my wife and young children in Detroit. This is why smells tend to evoke feelings and have a conditioning effect on our sense of taste. It was a long road, or more accurately, a trampled-down path in an impenetrable jungle, but it was by scouting this path "step by step" that we became acquainted with a tremendous variety of aromatic substances, accumulating a knowledge base which we would draw upon in good measure over the course of the Monkey's further development. At times, I have tried to get Alexander to tell me whether he had ever regretted the decision he had made in his youth. nice idea re cork but shame it broke, I used to drink that when I was in Erasmus in Berlin. Fortunately, producers of Dry Gin have to follow more rigorous production guidelines and employ methods that yield higher-quality products. I remember the Sunday morning that my sister came to visit us, and arrived to see, standing on our dining-room table, about 80 one-liter bottles containing Christoph's "experiments," next to a few glasses that had been left there in the aftermath of my tasting sessions the evening before. And maybe he was actually right – maybe I really should make a gin that could be drunk "neat" – without even an ice cube to dilute it. Mixed with tonic water, it was superb! For that reason, we shouldn't be mistaken for typical "spirits producers" or "liquor entrepreneurs"; we are schnapps distillers to the core. Since my family knows one of the partners in the distillery, I had the privilege to be sipping Monkey 47 for over two years now and am bringing it to the US bottle by bottle, having resolved to never run out nof it again. After a series of morning tasting orgies, Alexander showed up nearly every time at the distillery armed with a sensory "ranking list." We subjected our distillates to further tests, and analyzed the results, and argued, often continuing on late into the night. I have just purchased my first bottle of Monkey 47 and can't wait to try it with my European tonic water. Gin was and is, consequently, a distillate with a tremendously dynamic evolutionary process, and it has developed over the course of the centuries from a unidimensional, low-quality liquor to a multifaceted classic whose quality varies, depending on the methods and ingredients used in its production. The underbrush becomes even more impassable when you consider the number of ingredients that are added to contemporary gins. This was all reported in articles in the larger national newspapers, and also in Stuttgart, the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Unlike our other senses, it bypasses the thalamus (in the brain) and sends information directly to the amygdalae and frontal lobe. The use of the term "London Dry Gin" does not, as is generally believed, denote any connection to the city of London, but rather describes a set of regulations regarding quality standards in the production of a Dry Gin. I like G&T with lime while my wife prefers lemon. Here, it's important to know that besides a knack for clever fixes, a sense of obligation to involve oneself in matters that have nothing to do with oneself – you might also call it sheer curiosity – is a trait typical of people from the Monkey's home region. This Gin is the best I have ever tried it has depth in flavour tried it in a bar in Exeter Devon England I had three large ones with tonic ice and lemon glorious. Anyone who knows Alexander -- and has come to appreciate his subtle, ironic humor, his resolve, his facility for wordplay, and his flights of creativity – can well imagine that the organizational structure of an international, impersonal megabusiness (which, to be sure, did provide valuable experience) was not the right environment for a Swabian free spirit like him. That is to say, I overcame my reluctance to plunge ahead with this artisanal gin project, and invited Christoph to visit us at home, so that we could get to know each other better. I recently bought a bottle and I agree with everything you say; it is well worth seeking out! Letting a spirit mature is an expensive, but indispensable commitment to quality. The very name of it sounded awfully professional to me. The key to this eccentric blend, however, is another local staple that seems both surprising and yet made to enhance the right gin. And although the lingonberry possesses everything, in terms of its aromatic properties, that we would hope to find in a good gin – strong bitter notes, accentuated acidity, subtle fruit – it is not the lingonberry's potential effect on the taste of our gin that is of paramount importance when it comes to our technique of pre-maceration, even if we hear time and again from a few very smart people who "know their way around the world of gin" that they can detect the "very noticeable" taste of lingonberries in our gin. It gives me something to orite about too. I recently had the pleasure of being introduced to Monkey 47 gin. Price is high, but definitely a unique experience. This breakthrough would, of course, also go on to have a long-term effect on the production of gin. The only sad thing about it is that you can't get it in the US, whereI live! Simple, but you have to admit, brilliant! First question: Who's awake at four in the morning and has access to a mill? Plus, the Fiery One is even kind enough to provide the necessary fertiliser through its natural dispersal of volcanic ash, which is guaranteed to be free of any additives. What I actually wanted to do was to make gin, not set up a hippie commune with some kind of schnapps guru, and romp with him among the tree trunks down by Lake Constance, performing ritual dances. With the proverbial carrot and a stick, and many words of explanation, we somehow got through this first semi-public tasting – which took four hours, mind you – and the worst thing about it was that I actually felt good doing it. I am a gin connoisseur and have been for 18 years. Apparently, my stomach is as strong as ever: The very next morning, I heard myself saying, "Brilliant, let's do it!" Had something happened overnight? Technically, Schwarzwald Dry Gin falls into the Dry Gin category. Many place a close second but this gin is complex and spectacular. If something tastes good, it should look good, too. While I did have an extensive knowledge of the aromas and fragrances that have a role to play in the world of brandies and schnapps, of herbal distillates, of perfumes and the eaux de vie that are drunk when smoking cigars, I had – as a matter of character – no familiarity with the perspective of a bar habitué, or of a connoisseur of mixed drinks and cocktails. Required fields are marked *, You may use these HTML tags and attributes:
. In other words, one gin may well be quite different from the next. Fruity, smooth, a real delight. ), and I can imagine that Christoph had lots of fun while he was barricading himself in the distillery for weeks or months on end with his macerations, and carrying out his test distillations (we could speak here of "distiller's orgasms"). Gin is, however, much more than juniper alone, and it is arguably the most dynamic distilled spirit in the world. There is no need for tonic or soda. Your email address will not be published. By assembling a multitude of possible combinations, I hoped to be able to get the broadest possible impression of the flavor preferences of our tasters – who in turn were chosen by Alexander. This may affect nutrition and allergen information therefore you should always check product labels and not rely solely on the information presented here. So, let's forget about the legal definition and focus on what really matters: Dry Gin, or London Dry Gin is the most strictly regulated designation in the gin family, and thus it generally refers to products of a higher quality and aroma density. Thanks for this excellent, in depth, review. What we were aiming for was something I called "Schwarzwald Dry Gin." This was not envisioned as an official classification, but rather as a symbolic target that would enable us to surpass the existing quality specifications for the dry gin category, which we do, by the way. The two gentlemen in their fashionable clothes and Italian leather shoes must have thought, as they took in the sheep, the goats, the chickens and the rustic distillery, that they had found their way to the proverbial end of the earth. To my great surprise, Herr Maser was amenable to my plight. Anyway, I'd invited over the crème de la crème of Germany's cocktail creators, mixologists, bartenders, and hospitality experts for some "sensible" collaboration. After Christoph had gone, I sat there at the table, which was still covered with bottles and glasses. Alexander had indeed been right when he brought in a neutral spirit (ethanol) made from molasses for us to sample in our private tastings. Still, we needed a solution, and fast. Since time immemorial, juniper berries have therefore been used to give aroma to the famous Black Forest ham. The distillation process we use is a complex one. I was right! It can be difficult to find in a bricks-and-mortar store but it can be found at a lot of online retailers. It actually has to do with the internal relationship between taste and smell, the latter of which plays a special anatomic role due to it being the oldest of our senses in evolutionary terms. This man was a typical Black Forest schnapps distiller, and would not have made distillates from anything else besides cherries, Damask plums, mirabelle plums, apples, pears, or perhaps in a stretch, raspberries. Having at this point by necessity adopted the familiar "Du" form when addressing each other, we maintained an undertone of friendly competition during our nocturnal sessions, in the course of which we had narrowed our list of possible gin compositions down to five favorite recipes. These factors also led to a change in the typical flavor profile, yielding a more complex and aromatic distillate. By now, I have distilled about 450 different basic commodities – everything I could get my hands on! We were given a bottle by my sister in Paris at the weekend and really looking forward to our first G&T. As such, I'd prefer to spare you the details of all that miserable milling, which came to an abrupt halt deep in the Black Forest at around four in the morning. Of course, she didn't know anything about my gin schemes, and I could only answer, "No, I actually have a big alcohol problem!". It was news to me, and I could hardly believe it: neutral spirits are, quite simply, not neutral, and the joyful expression on my partner's face confirmed it. A Monkey 47 Gin egy minden tekintetben komplex és robosztus gin. In Austria, such distillates are called "Maiwipfelgeist," since the spruce shoots emerge in the month of May. But one thing after another ... to begin with, a number of problems came up, some of which were to be expected, and others that were totally unforeseeable. Initially, I had thought that this was purely a sipping gin which would be a crime to mix, but trying it with tonic water was a revelation. Originally recommended to me by terrific waiter at "the Dispensary" in Bendigo, took me 2 years to find it. Of course, I would employ the right tactics, cleverly embedding my tale within a thick layer of flattery regarding his superb brandy. Our approach to distillation is a complex one: It involves both distilling the macerate and using steam extraction to channel the alcoholic vapours through fresh botanicals using a Carter-Head still. Ah yes, "complex" – too complex, in fact, for a final comprehensive summary of this subject. Armed with a standard kitchen mill, I got to work on grinding up around 100 kilos of herbal ingredients. My wife, Christiane, reconfigured our herb garden, and in our greenhouse, she grew a number of plants from cuttings, including several types of Monardas, whose blossoms we wanted to use. At that point, it look less than an hour for the Hummels to work its magic. I frequently travel to Germany and bring back Schweppes tonic water from there to the United States because US tonic water is all sugar, even the Schweppes brand. It was the most amazing gin to date complicated but delicious. and just cannot be compared to simple, mass-produced spirits such as, for example, whiskeys, vodka, rum, or tequila. Nonetheless, the creation of a well-harmonized recipe presents a particular challenge for a distiller. I highly doubt those assertions, and really, we don't use lingonberries to impart their flavor to our gin, but rather in order to bring about the textural changes in its ethanol base, as described above. Everything is going to be made by hand, from real ingredients, and the gin is going to be distilled like a macerated-fruit brandy." Thus, I had the choice between putting my gin-making future in the hands of this character in his overalls and full beard – or to get out of there as fast as possible, which at that moment seemed like the right thing to do!

Wow, how much fun! Last night's casual meet up at the Varsity turned into quite the shindig. Over 30 Orange-minded leaders came out to gobble down some Varsity famous onion rings and and Orange shakes. It was a blast. We joked around, had fun and learned from each other.
In the two hours I was there (the Varsity finally kicked us out at 11:00 PM), I sat and talked family ministry/parenting ministry philosophy & staffing structure with Michale Chanley (as well as some cool new ideas he's got for the future). He's in a position that doesn't exist in 99% of all other churches and there's really a lot we can learn from what he's doing. I caught up with what's going on in my friend Jonathan Cliff's life (his church is going through a huge capital campaign where out of it he's getting a new, state of the art kids building). Anytime I get to sit and hang out with Jonathan is time well spent. Except, if you get up to go to the bathroom or order food, don't leave your phone, he'll tweet nice things about himself from your phone while you're gone. I only got a few minutes to talk to Jim Wideman (I'll get more time with him at dinner tonight), but I did get to play with his iPad for a few minutes. He's as big an Apple fan as Reggie, he's owned every Apple laptop that's ever come out. I also got to hang out with Amy Fenton Lee for a few minutes (who I just met via email last week). She just launched the Inclusive Church blog a few weeks ago, a HUGE resource on Special Needs ministry. This blog's going to be huge!
In addition to all that, I shook some hands, chatted a little and had a great time meeting some new ministry friends. It was so easy and so much fun. It's got me really excited about the "official" Tweet Up tonight. It's going to be so much fun as I expect many more people being that everyone going to Orange will have arrived. It's at 10:00 at the Chocolate Perks. Click here for more details. Also, don't forget to come visit us in the Orange Leader's Lounge, it's the 2nd floor of the Arena. Grab some coffee (it's free) and hang out for a little while. I look forward to meeting you!

Elisa and Patrick Fleming will buy the 60-acre farm from Don Ranck, the father of Elisa Fleming, in a $948,000 project, the authority said Tuesday.
Elisa Fleming leads the day-to-day operations of the 429-439 Strasburg Road farm. Patrick Fleming is an assistant professor of economics and public policy at Franklin & Marshall College.
Elisa and Patrick Fleming will be the fourth generation of the family to own the farm, which grows corn, hay and soybeans, and raises beef cattle. The farm also has a bed-and-breakfast inn.
A barn on the farm was destroyed by fire in April.
Helping the Flemings obtain the loan was EDC Finance, a Lancaster-based nonprofit that guides businesspeople through the process of applying for state and federal funding.

Spiritual awakening can refer to quite a few phenomena and there are varying degrees of awakening. It is possible for a person who has done no spiritual work to have a spontaneous awakening. This type of awakening occurs as a result of a raise in consciousness where the individual becomes aware of realities and parts of themselves that were previously hidden from consciousness. This raise in... What the spiritual awakening process is really all about is simply becoming a happier, more loving and peaceful human being. And when we start to feel better about ourselves, we often naturally develop the desire to be of service to the world.
For some, the awakening happens as they suddenly become aware of the kinds of thoughts they habitually think, especially persistent negative thoughts that they may have been identified with all of their lives. Suddenly there is an awareness that is aware of the thought but is not part of it.
They will then become masters of themselves and become truly human, which is the best thing any human can be.��from Synthesis Remembered: Awakening Original Innocence. Anyway, I have my own list of what I understand to be essential and relevant signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening.

Summer is an active season full of road trips, camping, swimming and anything involving fun in the sun. With all the exciting sunshine adventures, your vehicle's cleanliness may have been neglected. Summertime isn't over yet but a new season is approaching, making it time for a vehicle scrub down.
Get your car ready for seasonal changes by cleaning from the inside-out. Start by clearing out excess cargo. Not only does it weigh your vehicle down, but clutter also creates more cleaning obstacles. After your vehicle is cleared out, dust off the debris from the interior surfaces and start vacuuming. Use a high-powered vacuum or go to a gas station and use their coin-operated vacuums. Be sure to use attachments to get deep in the crevices ridding dirt, sand, rocks, crumbs and bugs. If the seats of your vehicle absorbed wet swimming suits after pool parties, then consider shampooing the upholstery. With a clean inside, now it's time to shine up and protect surfaces as well as condition leather. Protecting the interior materials of your vehicle will keep it looking better longer and the same idea applies to the exterior.
As the weather changes, it's necessary to give your vehicle's paint some added protection. Wash your car in a cool, shady place with car-friendly soap. Dry the vehicle's exterior properly by using a chamois with broad strokes quickly removing water. After a thorough drying, use a damp terry cloth to apply a quality polish in a circular motion working on small areas at a time. Polishing with a wax will preserve the paint and enhance the exterior's luster.
Pull your shiny ride into the garage and relax knowing your car is prepped for yet another season.


Live plants certainly add to the esthetic look of the bedroom and give it a lively spark. It is, of course, not their only merit. Naturally, we want our sleeping environment to be free these common stressors: clutter, noise, disturbing light and, of course air pollution. And that's where the plants come in. Houseplants are famous for their toxin-busting and air-cleansing qualities, not to mention they help relax and calm the ever so restless minds, thus contributing to a night of sound sleep. In this article I invite you to take a look at these indoor plants that, in my opinion, are the best picks for your bedroom.
Meet the best green pal of people from various cultural backgrounds. Indeed, in some countries aloe vera became somewhat iconic – because of its healing qualities it is largely used in cosmetics, perfume, meds and other personal care products. Aloe vera has the power to significantly reduce the content of toxic substances in the air. Here's a vivid example: it absorbs up to 90% of the hazardous compound called formaldehyde that can be emitted by furniture products made with lacquers, paints and other coatings.
At night the plant releases oxygen to contribute to your good night's sleep and successfully absorbs carbon dioxide. The gel from its offsets is widely used for the treatment of burns, blisters, frostbites and other unpleasant skin conditions. It's not too picky either, which is why it's very easy to care for it. You don't need to water it too often, all it really needs is the sunniest spot in your bedroom.
People often buy lavender when they want to show their bedrooms and themselves some love. Because it is something that never fails to uplift the mood and make a person smile. There are many different ways in which lavender can be used to promote good health and well-being: in a form of essential oils, perfume, soap, cute lavender sachets and more. However, it's best to purchase a potted lavender plant and place it at the head of the bed. Its soothing color and otherworldly scent will contribute to restful slumbers and reduced anxiety levels. The charming plant is very easy to take care of, just try not to overwater it.
Despite its somewhat daunting name, snake plant is well-known for its air-purifying qualities and is very good for bedroom. Unlike many small houseplants for the bedroom that devour oxygen during nighttime, snake plant, like no other, emits the oxygen at night, thus improving the quality of indoor air. This plant doesn't need special care because of its West African genes. It's what we can call a survivor, because it's used to the harshest conditions and poor, infertile soil. Just like cacti or succulents snake plant needs to be watered every other week. One more tip: make sure that the pot where the plant lives has drainage holes to avoid standing water which can be fatal for it.
If you look closer at a spider plant you would quickly see that its name does it justice. Its many baby pups that grow on the stems of the mother plant hold on to their pretend web just like spiders. And just like spiders this plant serves its own purpose—the neutralization of toxic chemicals and air purification.
It's a great plant to keep in the bedroom since it makes the indoor air fresh and clean, hence creates perfect conditions for most sound zZz's. And when we sleep well we wake up feeling refreshed and full of energy. It doesn't require any special lighting—it grows well both in a sunlit room and on a shady side. The only thing you need to make a rule out of is to irrigate your plant with a settling water as opposed to a tap one.
When you look at it you can't help thinking that Gerber daisy is a friendly flower. There is something in the way it waves at you with its bright petals which immediately warms your heart. And its collection of vibrant blooms can easily bring joy to your nightstand. Though we can trace its origin to the South African soils it's a fairly dainty flower. That's why, unfortunately, it won't last long in a typical bedroom environment no matter how much you pamper or coddle your beauty. It's grown under greenhouse conditions which can't be recreated in a regular apartment. But it's worth buying Gerber daisy anyway, because while it lasts it successfully removes organic pollutants and toxins from the air.
Cactus has long become a widely admired heartthrob. It turned into a trend that went mainstream overnight. Now it's anywhere you look: T-shirt prints, gift magnets, pottery and what not. Why hide it – it's friendly, funny-looking and easy to fall in love with. Whoever would have thought that this thorny cutie is one of the nature's best organic air purifier and a wellspring of healing and soothing properties.
It consumes the energy from our surroundings to radiate it at full power. Cacti absorb carbon dioxide when we sleep and release oxygen to contribute to the quality of our sleep. They fight bad bacteria and significantly reduce harmful air ionization protecting us from irradiation, including the one emitted from TVs and computers. That is why it's largely recommended to keep cacti near the said devices or place them in the office. Cactus plants require plenty of natural light and heat, so make sure your bedroom is on a sunny side.
TIP: Carefully select the pots for your plants. This way you can add a splash of color missing from your bedroom. Or, on the contrary, choose colors that harmoniously blend with the surroundings.
Plants with their air purifying qualities are welcome guests for any bedroom. However, it's best not to overdo it with greenery converting it into urban jungle. Three or five shy growers are more than enough to make your bedroom area a place to be. These many green pals are quite sufficient for fighting indoor air pollution and cleansing the indoor air from gases and chemicals.
Also, it's better to place the plants one or two meters away from the bed. Otherwise, their active energy might disturb the serenity of our sleep. Having few plants can be truly beneficial unless, of course, you happily nod off amidst a 'rain forest' and sleep like a baby anyway. In this case, don't change a thing, because it's working.


Chrome Wars Arena is controlled by using the mouse. Use the mouse to interact with the game's interface and to select actions and attacks to perform.
Chrome Wars Arena is a turn-based fighting game and the sequel to Chrome Wars. Chrome Wars Arena features superior graphics to its predecessor as well as greater variety of actions and upgrades.
The objective of Chrome Wars Arena is to make it to the top of the tournament ladder by defeating opponents until you reach first place. You start this fighting game at rank fifty-one; each opponent that you defeat puts you one step closer to becoming the champion. It's a long and hard road to the championship, but your progress is automatically saved if you feel the need to take a break.
When you first start Chrome Wars Arena, you are given the chance to select your robot. If this is your first time playing this fighting game, you will have to name your robot and give it a coloration. After this, you will have to assign attributes to your robot. Unfortunately, not all of these statistics are explained in the game. From what I could figure out from playing this fighting game, having a high speed allows you to take multiple actions in a single round, while low speed allows your opponent to take multiple actions. A high defense attribute decreases the damage that you take in battle, and a high power attribute increases the damage that you deal. High precision makes your attacks more accurate. It is a good idea to keep balanced stats, but to add a few more points to the aforementioned attributes when you get the chance. After each successful match, you are given five additional points to allocate to your robot's attributes.
If you want to succeed in Chrome Wars Arena, not only must you configure your robot's attributes, but you must also buy items for your robots. After each match, you are rewarded a number of credits. Winning matches in this fighting game rewards more credits, but you are still given a small purse even if you are defeated in a match. I advise you to buy repair kits to stay in the battle longer, shields to greatly increase your defense, as well as weapons and items that will supplement and complement your robot's attributes.
Chrome Wars Arena is an excellent fighting game that takes the battle system of role-playing games but removes the fluff and storyline present in RPGs. If you like RPG-style gameplay but hate reading through walla of text or dealing with "kawaii" characters, then Chrome Wars Arena is just the fighting game for you!

Given that vSphere hypervisors are used extensively in many data centres globally, it is not uncommon to see vSphere installed on various server vendor platforms. To provide assurance, support and availability, it is extremely critical that these hardware vendors comply to certain requirements. These requirements are then both verified and validated by both parties (hardware and software vendors).
It becomes more critical when it comes to vSAN, where data is now hosted on vSphere nodes. We certify extensively various servers and components to ensure that under no circumstances that a system will be compromised. As some may know, we have a long list of 15 different server vendors that have built pre-certified nodes, that is also known as vSAN Ready Nodes. We also do extensive certifications on a plethora of components from HDD's to IO Controllers. These certifications and support goes both ways, between both hardware & software providers.
Why is support and certifications important both ways?
While it is true, hardware being commodity, there are still aspects of it that is reliant on software. For example, firmware and drivers. Assuming VMware had issues on a particular hardware component, we can either create a custom driver / patch / fix for it easily if required. But assuming it is something that violates the support or broke other feature/functions of a particular hardware component, it may or may not be advisable to do so. Also, it would probably makes perfect sense that both VMware and hardware component vendor worked collaboratively to rectify it. You can't work in isolation.
It is not just hypervisors specifically, but what if the applications had certain compatibility constraints or bugs in relation to the a combination of the hardware and software stack. Would a hardware vendor necessarily have expertise that could rectify application issues?
To side track, we recently had a blog post about SAP HANA on vSAN that is coming soon. SAP HANA deployments have historically been strict with the choice of platform that it is runs on. What took so long for vSAN to certify on HANA? Probably in part because SAP only released SAP HANA Certification Guidelines for HCI earlier this year. Read about SAP HANA on vSAN here.
Tying it back to our discussion on support and certification, some vendors have committed to customers, that they were supporting SAP HANA on HCI, as far back as 2 years ago (though SAP only came out with guidelines recently). One can only assume it is a 1-way support model then. Would you then consider running mission critical workloads on it?
Many competitors, taut 1-way certification as a non-issue, because they can always work on the basis of TSANET.org. Just in case you weren't aware of TSANET, they are a not-for-profit organisation that provides legal framework and contact database to foster multi-vendor problem-solving. Sounds workable to some sense (I stand corrected on this, but it doesn't seem like they are a governing body of sorts) but no mention on the level of commitment or SLA's.
Unless its a niche solution that only 1 vendor can deliver (which leaves you little choice), I don't see why would anyone take that a risk and not consider other available solutions that are "approved and certified".
Peeling back the onion, the motion of pushing TSANET as replacement for official certification and support looks a lot like an easy way to make a quick sale... the only loser here is the end-user.


The kids may be away at summer camp, but its never to early to think about Halloween! A staple for the last few decades – the UNICEF Trick-or-Treat box – is getting an upgrade. You may remember seeing this box that helps kids collect donations for UNICEF on past Halloweens. But this year, your kids don't have to tote around a box of loose change because the Trick-or-Treat boxes will now be outfitted with Microsoft Tags – enabling donors to give online by scanning a barcode with their smartphone.
Microsoft Tags are those square digital codes like QR codes. Each barcode is scanned with a smart device, which then brings the browser to a special UNICEF Trick or Treat website. In early years, the UNICEF donations were allocated strictly to schools, but in recent years, the expansion of UNICEF has opened the donation gates to many different charitable programs.
Modern UNICEF programs still include schools and education for kids, but also encompasses foreign aid. For example, one campaign helped feed Somalian children and provide them with health supplies, despite a ban on all other foreign aid.
The donation website also features educational games and activities for kids. But more importantly, it educates donors on the logistics and details of UNICEF's programs. People want to know where their dollars are going, and when the internet is introduced, it can seem a vague and distrusting place to donate your dollars. But through the new Trick-or-Treat program, UNICEF hopes to nip this problem in the bud giving donors another forum to explore (and potentially donate more), while letting them know exactly where their donations go and how they help.
If you're willing to start thinking about goblins, pumpkins, and Halloween night, you can pre-order Trick-or-Treat boxes for your school or community now through UNICEF.
