Metaverse Brand Watch: June 2022
Welcome to our monthly recap on all of the traditional and web2 brands making moves into this thing we're calling the metaverse, and when we say metaverse we're not just referring to virtual worlds but the broader web3 landscape, including NFTs, social tokens, DAOs, and crypto more broadly.
With that, here's what's been happening in the past month.
Warner Bros. announced it is collaborating with the NFT focused social media platform Nifty's and at the end of June, the two firms will launch a story-driven NFT collection called "Looney Tunes: What's Up Block?" The upcoming NFTs will tell a unique Looney Tunes storyline and will also celebrate the character Tweety's 80th anniversary. Rewards and benefits include special access to Looney Tunes merchandise, access to virtual meet and greets, alongside never-before-been-seen content, and new NFT drops.
Warner Bros. has been dropping a number of NFT projects in recent times including "Space Jam: A New Legacy" NFTs and Matrix-themed NFT avatars. READ MORE
Italian luxury fashion brand Prada has hopped on the Web3 bandwagon with a new NFT collection and a dedicated Discord channel. The new NFT collection has been named Timecapsule.
Timecapsule NFTs, as per a press release by the company, will be a monthly online event lasting 24 hours on the first Thursday of each month, during which an exclusive item will be made available in very limited quantities on Prada's official website in select regions.
Every limited-edition Timecapsule item is assigned a unique serial number and comes in distinctive packaging. READ MORE
Nyx Cosmetics has been revealed as a collaborator for the People of Crypto Lab's (POC) metaverse diversity hub set to debut in The Sandbox, an open world online platform.
The trio have announced plans to work together on the Valley of Belonging, a diversity, equity and inclusivity space within the metaverse that is set to launch June 24, in line with Pride Month.
Nyx will be the first cosmetics brand to integrate into The Sandbox with a campaign that highlights the message that makeup has no gender. A total of 8,430 non-binary NFTs will be available from June 17 onwards, and will feature voxelised makeup looks for each group represented in the Pride flag. READ MORE
One of the most recent automakers to join the NFT and metaverse space, The DeLorean Motor Company, notably the DMC DeLorean, is most famously featured as the time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy.
The DeLorean is one of the most iconic on-screen cars of all time, thanks to its role in the film series, and the company behind the car has filed two trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on May 30 for both DMC and DeLorean.
The application signals plans for virtual cars, NFT-backed media and stores offering virtual cars. READ MORE
The NFL and NFL Players Association announced a new partnership with gaming technology studio Mythical Games to introduce an NFT-based video game called NFL Rivals.
The game will officially launch in 2023, but fans will have an opportunity to purchase 32 limited-quantity collections of 3D NFL-themed NFTs in a series of drops prior to the game's release.
The actual game itself will allow fans to compete against other gamers as the general manager of a team in a fantasy-style environment while assembling rosters with NFTs of their favourite players through a play-and-own system. READ MORE
Luxury brand Gucci has announced that it will accept cryptocurrency payments at select locations.For the pilot project, customers will be able to pay with cryptocurrency at locations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta and Las Vegas.
Customers will soon be able to pay for their purchases with over 10 cryptocurrencies, including widely recognized coins like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and 5 USD-pegged stablecoins (GUSD, USDC, USDP, DAI and BUSD). But the brand is also accepting payment from more niche cryptocurrencies, like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). READ MORE

What celebrity do you love and why?

Denzel Washington is always on point.
Also Meagan Good because she's f*cking gorgeous, and really nice as well.
Queen 12,407
GTAF Crew
The obvious first...Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. I don't think those names should come as a surprise to anyone.
Putting my obsession aside for a moment...
I have mad respect for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not just for his acting, but especially for his humanity...his personal motivation is...well...motivating. I know he's not perfect (cheated on his [hot] wife) but he played a big part of my childhood. Movies like Terminator were my safe haven, and to see the guy eventually become a governor (politics aside) is just inspiring. Love the guy.

Jeff Bridges.
Yeah you have other actors that have done or been through crazy stuff in their lives, but Jeff came from a show business family that pretty much treated acting as their job and not their status. He pretty much is The Dude, just much less lethargic than the character. Laid back, chill, and a guy that you could easily say hi to on the street and not have to worry about ego pushing through.

That kind of reminds me of Mickey Rourke. Both Bridges and Rourke acted in movies that had to with wash-ups and the price of fame, Crazy Heart and The Wrestler, respectively.
Mickey was a boxer following the films he made in the 80's, and when you watch those films, he had a chiseled hansom face with a few scars. But he returned to boxing in the 90's and got so f*cked up, that his face was almost recognizable upon return to film. Mickey pretty much lived the story of The Wrestler, albeit it is loosely based on some of the wrestling stars from the 80's; the lifestyles were similar. Also, Rourke's real-life entrance song was Sweet Child o' mine by Guns 'n Roses. He uses the same music in the film as an entrance song.

Was it the boxing or all of the plastic surgery he had around that time that completely changed his face?
lol, definitely both!
In his last movie before returning to boxing, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, you can see the obvious scars on his face. During his return to boxing, though, his cheekbones were smashed, so there's obvious disfigurement now. BUT! You can see he's had tons of work done in terms of facial lifts and botox. My hats off to him, though. His career is better now than it's ever been. The Wrestler is definitely in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
The Wrestler is definitely in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
Fantastic movie. He's a really talented actor but everything that's happened to his face has left him... well, a bit of a niche actor in the grand scheme of things.
I can't really think of any celebrities I "love", though to be fair I can't really think of many I even like. I'd have to know them to form a better judgement.
If we're talking about which celebrities I'd put my willy in, then probably Karen Gillan. And Michael Kudlitz (I have at least met and spoken with him, so that's the best foundation for romance, right?)
Mister Pink 9,744
WAP144
This guy. He's just funny and it's strange hearing a man from my city having the banter like he does on a world stage.
InstaNoodles 106
Goes through you in 3 minutes
Kim Kardashian...
LOL, only joking!
Sam Witwer, because he was awesome on Being Human and Star Wars: the Force Unleashed. He stars in the upcoming video game, Days Gone. It looks promising.
Also, any of the actors and actresses from Mafia III. The game was a flop, but damn, the devs found some real, undiscovered talent.

Uninstalled GTA 10-6-17, an era comes to a close.
Love? No. More admire and they influence me on a intellectual level and always has something interesting to contribute to the world.
These aren't necesssary celebrities, but commentors, entertainers and thinkers I suppose:
Peggy Noonan. Love her thinking style, her verbosity and her all around energy. When I read her pieces, I always find them thoughtful and shed new light on any issue she focuses on.
Rush Limbaugh. Genius, entertaining, created a whole new genre of information/entertainment and a smart dude and points out the silliness of the world and body politic daily. I've been a fan for years. Don't agree with everything he says, but his intelligence and wit is unmatched. There is reason why he's still huge at what he does. He's THAT good.
Action bronson.
That man can live.
Irish45455 2,846
Robin Williams (R.I.P.) because I think he was a bomb ass actor and even better stand up comedian. And as for female celebrity, Pauley Perrette. I love Abby from NCIS, and she just seems like an all around cool person. George Carlin was a huge one too. He was a huge influence, and it's funny that the first time i ever heard his work was as a kid, when he was Mr. Conductor on Thomas and Friends. Man, he did a great Gordon.
Payne Killer 7,773
I'm certain this man has f*cked everyones mom.
Other badasses:
Mel Gibson(f*cking legend)
Better known as Max Payne, i wish this guy had more roles. They need to do a Max Payne tv show.

I wouldn't say love but rather admire and appreciate: Tony Iommi. I really like his style and his talent as musician; while most people credit Ozzy Osborne for the success of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi was the one that leads the band during all these years and worked really hard on their works. He is the one that truly deserves to be called the father of Heavy Metal, with his unique distortion effects on the guitar, power chords and lower guitar tuning.
Click for some of my personal favourite Black Sabbath songs that make justice to Iommi's talent:

Skinny Legend
I know only a few celebrities that I actually like very much. For example Lana Del Rey, Deborah Harry, David Bowie. But the celebrity that I absolutely love is Lady Gaga, she's a very talented woman. I have been listening to her music from the beginning and I think she's just such an amazing person. She has an amazing voice, she made really nice albums and she did some amazing performances such as the Sound of music tribute which will always give me goosebumps when listening to it again. What I really like about her as well is that she's really a caring, kind woman. She goes to LGBT homeless shelters and buy clothes for them and other stuff, talk and sing with them. Really kind of her, I wish more people did that.

Blake Lively because as a completely straight man I want to sleep with her.
Tom Hardy because as a completely straight man I want to sleep with him.
no but really he has an incredibly inspiring work ethic, is one of the best actors working today and seems like a genuine, honest person. And I want to sleep with him.
MadHammerThorsteen 799
Ruddy Mallet
Hugh Jackman for just being a chill dude and taking on the coveted role of Wolverine so gracefully and for so many years
Benedict Cumberbatch because he just seems like the kind of guy you can talk with about anything. Very unassuming personality, and seems like he minds his own business. Also did a phenomenal iteration of BBC's 21st century reiteration of Sherlock Holmes.
Lastly, but most importantly: Dave Chappelle. Dave is not my favorite comedian, but he's in my top 5, and as a person, I connect with his material the most. His show defined an entire generation's sense of humor. And he comes of as one of the most congenial and real human beings on earth right. His new specials are both a return to form and a mark of maturity. Nothing but respect.

Roger Waters, and Alan Parsons.
The first, simply because he's nearly the only songwriter whose songs do actually mean something to me, and a great musician as well. His voice is simply gorgeous, specially around 1979-1983. And the latter, maybe he's not as talented as Waters musically but he has made a brilliant work as a sound engineer in The Dark Side of The Moon, and, of course, all the albums with his own band and Eric Woolfson. Besides, I got to see Parsons live last year and that's an experience I'll never forget, and I hope I can see him again soon. I also hope to see Waters live someday.

access to support customer and business needs. Putting a figure on downtime costs, International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates a typical large enterprise can lose about $100,000 an hour in the wake of a data outage. Alarmingly, 99% data availability still means a business will experience downtime. Clustered servers combined with well-designed communication and storage networks running the appropriate software applications may be the best solution for companies that require high-availability systems.
A cluster is two or more servers (sometimes called nodes) that are interconnected to appear as one. They share storage resources for maximum efficiency and cost savings. Clusters are typically comprised of two to eight servers joined together. Clustering might mean having multiple computer systems working on one task to improve performance or to address a problem too big for one system. Or, it may mean having systems readily available that can stand in for another system without losing continuity or consistency in the operating system. Yet again, it may mean that a particular application is running on multiple computer systems and the same information can be accessed at any one instance. Server clustering is gaining in popularity as more IS departments try to obtain high-end system features at commodity hardware prices. The appearance of clustering as part of Microsoft Windows architecture has also provided a new awareness of this strategy and moved many to implement clusters.
Storage area networks (SANs) are an ideal way to meet the basic requirements of high availability clusters. Separating data from the server by placing it in a SAN works well with clustering. Clustered servers must have access to the same data if they are to work together to keep an application up and running. The process of attaching, expanding, and reallocating storage among a company's many server resources is greatly simplified with a SAN. SANs also increase overall availability by allowing any single node on the SAN to be connected or disconnected without disrupting service to other nodes. If an actively accessed storage device is removed, the devices accessing that storage system may have problems retrieving data. This too is a problem that a SAN can help alleviate by providing redundant sets of data.
Some SAN switches are even being designed specifically for clustered server environments. For instance, Gadzoox Networks recently introduced the Slingshot 4210, a 2Gb SAN switch with 10 ports optimized for clustered servers. The Slingshot 4210 is an open-fabric switch that is typically installed in failover pairs to enable a high availability SAN system design. If one switch, cable or GBIC has a fault, then the host bus adapter in the server will see the path disappear and route traffic over the surviving switch. The application does not notice the difference and the application continues to run as designed.
The first step in designing a clustered environment SAN is to create high availability at the point where server and SAN connect. Optimally, there should be two Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) connected to each server. There are several choices of HBAs, the first being a fixed port configuration as opposed to a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBICs) or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) GBIC. Even though a GBIC-based adapter can carry a higher price tag, it allows for changes of media types if needed and it can act as another component that can be hot-plugged into the system in the event of a port failure. It is also important to look for the following features in an HBA: hot standby, load sharing and load balancing capabilities.
The second step is to select the switch. Each server HBA should be connected to a switch. For a beginning SAN, a low-cost loop switch or low-port-count fabric switch is an ideal building block. In SAN design, the simple implementation for high availability is to have two switches. Each switch should have the same set of servers and storage connected to it, thus providing for two independent access paths from server to data. Using at least one port on each switch to connect the switches will simplify management of the SAN, while also providing another path of data transfer should the SAN experience multiple path failures. For example, if a connection from the server to Switch1 were to fail, followed by a failure of the connection between Switch2 and the data, you would still be able to go from the server to Switch2 to Switch1 to the data.
The last step is to connect the data. As with the server, you need to make sure that each data storage unit has multiple paths of access, as well as the ability to support the same type of features as the server HBA for hot spare, load sharing and load balancing. It is also important that your data is situated according to the various RAID levels, both for speed of data access and availability. SANs provide the additional benefit of LAN-free backup. This means that when data transfers to tape, no additional traffic requirements are placed on the LAN. With a SAN, it is now possible for one of the Fibre Channel switches to control routing data to multiple target storage arrays instead of relying on the server or storage device to move data to two or more locations.
Clustering can provide businesses and departments with more function for less money. SANs as part of a cluster environment enable storage to scale and failover along with the cluster to achieve maximum uptime. A well designed storage network that includes the clustering of servers will not only help improve availability numbers, it will also help reduce the total cost of ownership.

Some might think that Caesar is an antagonist and a controlling emperor but this is not true. By not cooperating with each other when they needed to, they could not succeed in making a comeback and they both committed suicides. The people loved Caesar but Brutus convinces them that his intentions were wrong. How do acting and rhetoric affect the events of the play? His family were aristocrats, meaning they were wealthy, noble, elite members of Rome during that time. But what would cause a person to killa close friend? The character of Antony develops during the whole play. In the brilliant Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, many characters in the play take their own lives, this throws us into the dark as to whether or not their acts of suicide are heroic or weak. Brutus in the eyes of many people was a noble and honorable man who loved and adored the city of Rome, and no person thought more of this than Caesar.
Just as the men perceive the influence of their mothers and fathers as being at odds within their own selves, Portia sees a masculine side of herself competing with her feminine nature. La Vita Nuova is a collection of his sonnets, love poems, and lyrics. I do fear the people choose Caesar for their king. Julius Caesar was an accomplished military general and skilled politician, who is credited with ending the Roman Republic and ushering in the age of Roman emperors. The friendships in the play are used to blind Caesar from the truth and the plots against him. I do fear the people choose Caesar for their king. One evening, Old Major assembled the animals of Manor Farm and talked to them about how they live hard, short l.
In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Decius Brutus and Mark Antony, both Roman Senators, eulogize Julius Caesar, each using a different technique and approach. He treated his soldiers well and they fought with him and for him. They are one of the most powerful tools we have. Furthermore, as opposed to the usual six month term Caesar was appointed a life-long term as dictator. The Romans then wage war with these conspirators, and all eight are either murdered, or commit suicide.
Therefore, because they felt sympathetic and concerned, it created an uproar against the conspirators. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. The people seem to find it easier to accept Antony, an emotional and sincere speaker, than Brutus who appears arrogant and forceful. He does not simply state an opinion as Brutus did. Though everybody enjoys a nice tragedy in a book or play once and again. The leader of the animals was an old pig named Old Major who one day had a dream about being free from the oppression of man. Great rulers met their downfall when they put their own status in front of the well being of the people they govern.
Caesar was vulnerable to the power of friendship and was blinded by his trust in Decius, Brutus, and the other conspirators. Thanks to William Shakespeare, most people know that he was betrayed and killed by his friends. The fickle Romans waver betwe. It is located on a courtyard of the present Palace of Justice. Various powerful senatorial families began to feel threatened by Caesar and decided that he had too much power. They both significantly affected their husbands.
I thought about this question while watching I, Cinna The Poet. However, Pompey had many more soldiers and many more politicians on his side. In justifying Caesar and disproving Brutus, the people see Antony as a potential successor to Caesar. How do they compare with the heterosexual relationships in the play—the relations between husbands and wives? In Roman times, the only way. Here are a few examples of essay topics for Julius Caesar asking for an expository response.
Caesar prepares to go to the Senate. He was a successful general, a people person, and an intelligent dictator. Then, to further prove her emotional and physical strength, she stabs herself in the thigh. Julius Caesar was born on July 13th, 100 B. That night time, the Ghost of Caesar seems to Brutus, announcing that Brutus will meet him again on the battlefield. Yet, unlike other decisions, ones that are about these three fields are the most important, due to the risk involved, and because of the consequences that might follow. Caesar was not content with this and his forces took Spain and then a key port in Massalia.
One type of essay is expository, which aims to explain or describe an idea. Her suicide, described in mythical, grotesque terms, serves as yet another portent Brutus ignores. Brutus is very close to Caesar. Brutus, in a somewhat arrogant, to the point, eulogy, attempts to sway the people. Augustus is a great ruler no matter what. In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare provided a specific plotline containing the concept of loyalty and revealed it differently by exemplifying the relationships between Caesar and Brutus, Antony, and Cassius separately.
The first depicts his readiness to fulfill every order of the ruler, what can be connected with Brutus loyalty to Caesar. Are these true friendships or merely political alliances forged for the sake of convenience and self-preservation? A choice that can make or break a man,which I believe broke many men in the play Julius Caesar. Antony was a loyal friend to Caesar and he wants to kill the people that murdered his beloved friend and ruler. The fickle Romans waver bet. He died by the hand of his friend Brutus and his own group of senators who badly mutilated his body. He justifies conspiring against Caesar by stating that Caesar's ambition would have hurt Rome. The opposite traits—weakness, fearfulness, and inconstancy—are mainly associated with women.


The use of network availability monitoring tools is an essential way to reduce downtime and to increase network reliability. What features are most important?
Of all the network management technologies available to system administrators, network availability monitoring is one of the most fundamental. Available as software or as an integrated hardware appliance, network monitoring tools discover, monitor, assess and troubleshoot network devices to ensure not only network availability, but also the health of the overall network.
Typical network availability monitoring tools use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect monitoring data from network devices. They use SNMP to initially discover the devices on the network and, in many cases, organize those discovered devices into a topology map that reveals device dependencies to the network manager. This presentation allows the network manager to understand how a problem with one device might affect other connected devices. Depending on which availability monitoring tool the network manager chooses, it may also baseline the behavior and status of network devices and provide alerts and reports on anomalies that indicate a problem.
Network availability monitoring tools track bandwidth utilization, uptime, availability and response times of network devices, and they provide granular information on the status of individual device components, such as ports, memory, processors and power supplies. Many of these tools even present a dashboard report on the health and status of network devices, using visual cues like green, yellow and red indicators to inform a network manager of the overall health of devices and device components.
Network availability monitoring systems send alerts to users in the form of email messages, text messages or event logs that can be forwarded to an event management system.
Some of these availability monitoring systems also have the ability to make changes to network devices via SNMP. This feature is especially useful in the context of a network troubleshooting workflow, where network managers can discover and correct a network equipment problem using a single management interface.
Most network availability monitoring systems collect and analyze data from network devices via SNMP, an application-layer network protocol that dates back to 1988. SNMP is used for the exchange of information between networked devices and a network management platform to help eliminate downtime The most recent version of the protocol, SNMPv3, is most notable for its security enhancements, including mechanisms for the authentication and encryption of SNMP messages and access control to management objects.
SNMP offers a combination of push and pull communication between devices and a management system. On the pull side of the equation, a network availability monitoring system can poll the network to discover devices and then poll those network devices on a regular basis for status information. An SNMP agent on a network device collects this data constantly and will send information to the network monitoring system upon request. The agent typically doesn't store the device metrics it collects. Instead, it is constantly refreshing the data and can forward it upon request.
On the push side, these agents also have the ability to send traps to the monitoring system. According to the SNMP standard, a trap is a message an agent sends to an availability monitoring tool when some aspect of the network -- for example, CPU or bandwidth utilization -- crosses a certain threshold.
A combination of polling and traps enables a network monitoring system to maintain a full view of the network's health. Traps can alert the system to triggered events on the device, while polling can extract data for trending and analysis. Polling also detects when a device has failed. Because a device in a failure state will be unable to send a trap on this event, polling becomes essential in that scenario.
SNMP also includes an "inform" message type that allows a network monitoring tool to acknowledge messages from a device, such as a router. This allows the agent to reset any triggered alerts. SNMP also specifies how network monitoring tools can use a "set" message to make changes to that device through the SNMP agent. This capability allows either the network manager or the tool itself -- depending on an enterprise's policies on network automation -- to make device configuration changes in response to network events. For instance, if a network monitoring tool discovers a switch is being saturated by network traffic and is in danger of suffering an outage, an administrator can reconfigure the overall network, so the traffic is distributed across multiple devices.
SNMP relies on the concept of a management information base (MIB) to organize the communication of device metrics between an SNMP agent and the network monitoring system. The MIB is a standard formal description of the objects that comprise the components and the device status information of a network device. Although the MIB is a standard, most vendors add proprietary extensions to their MIB implementations to account for the unique characteristics of their individual products.
Given that each network equipment manufacturer implements a unique MIB, network availability monitoring vendors must add support for each individual implementation. Network managers must verify the network equipment they use is supported by the network availability monitoring tools they choose -- or if MIB extensions can be added manually.
This extensible model of SNMP MIBs also allows manufacturers of other network-connected technologies to implement SNMP, so a network availability monitoring tool can manage them. Storage systems, servers, printers, routers and other devices can run SNMP agents. Additionally, MIBs can be created for IP video cameras, vehicles, industrial equipment, medical equipment and other devices. As long as a network monitoring tool has properly modeled and compiled the MIB for any of these device types, it should be able to report and alert on their status.
There are several free and open source network availability monitoring tools available today. There are also dozens of commercial vendors, both large and small, which offer their own products and services to prevent an outage. Commercial products are typically more scalable, easier to deploy and maintain, and capable of monitoring a wider variety of network devices.
A typical network availability monitoring tool has multiple components. Some tools have fully integrated architectures, and a network manager will only need to install a single piece of software to get started. Other tools might have several individual components that must be installed and managed separately. These components include a polling engine, a database, an analytics server, a user console and other elements.
The implementation of this architecture will affect many aspects of how network availability monitoring tools scale and operate. Some tools can monitor hundreds of devices, while others can monitor thousands. Some can monitor multiple networks across several locations, while others can only monitor a single site. A network manager also might find variability in terms of the granularity of the network monitoring tool. In other words, how often can the tool poll network devices for metrics? Granularity is usually something users can adjust for themselves, but higher monitoring granularity might affect the performance of certain monitoring tools that are not architected to analyze data inputs at a high rate.
Many network monitoring tools will rely on a variety of other methods to collect and exchange data with devices on the network. A tool may use Windows Management Instrumentation to monitor and interact with Microsoft-based systems. A tool may also integrate with APIs on a hypervisor management system in order to monitor all aspects of an enterprise's virtual infrastructure.
These monitoring systems will also often interact with various other network protocols. Some tools will use vendor-specific protocols like Cisco's IP service-level agreement and Network-Based Application Recognition to collect performance metrics. Others will add collection and analytics engines for flow records, like NetFlow, jFlow, sFlow and IPFIX. These technologies essentially expand the tool's capabilities from purely network availability monitoring to the related category of network performance monitoring.
Vendors offer various levels of integration between network availability monitoring and network performance monitoring, giving network managers the ability to correlate and analyze performance and availability. This integration helps network managers with capacity planning, troubleshooting, reducing outages and downtime, and optimization.
Many enterprises will integrate network availability monitoring tools into a broader set of infrastructure management tools. For instance, some network managers will integrate the tool with a network configuration management system. This integration helps network managers correlate network availability problems with device configuration errors.
Management vendors have long recognized the value of broad integration. They have responded by building large management suites of network management tools that combine device metrics from network availability monitoring with performance metrics from flow protocols like NetFlow and packet-based analysis. Some vendors even combine systems, storage and application management tools with network management tools for an integrated infrastructure management suite.
Network availability monitoring is a foundational element of a network management tool set. At its core, such a tool collects, analyzes and reports on metrics it collects from network devices from SNMP and other protocols and interfaces. The tool will help a network manager understand the health and availability of individual network devices and the overall network. It is often the starting point for network operations.
Other tools will integrate with and complement network availability monitoring. When thinking about how you want to implement this management system in your environment, think about the types of devices you want to monitor and how you want to integrate that monitoring into your overall management tools and practices.
Network and application availability monitoring have many components. To understand how to use a network monitoring tool, you need to carefully examine how a network availability product works and whether it will work with your site's existing components.

Star Trek #1438: The Truth About Tribbles Part 1
1438. The Truth About Tribbles Part 1
PUBLICATION: Star Trek #11, IDW Comics, July 2012
CREATORS: Mike Johnson (writer), Claudia Balboni (artist)
STARDATE: 2259.155 (follows previous issue)
PLOT: Scotty tries a transwarp beaming his pet tribble to Earth, and coincidentally, the Enterprise tracks the Klingons to the planet of the tribbles.
CONTINUITY: The comic starts with a flashback to Delta Vega (Star Trek) and a scene involving older Spock and a tribble bought off [Cyrano] Jones (The Trouble with Tribbles). The Klingons already consider the tribbles the Empire's greatest enemy (Trials and Tribble-ations). The tribbles' predator looks like a glommer (More Tribbles, More Troubles).
DIVERGENCES: Scotty has a nephew called Chris; it is not known if this is meant to be the same character as that of Peter Preston (Wrath of Khan). Obviously, the new timeline has changed a number of events if Jones has come into possession of tribbles this early, and the Klingons marked tribbles for death without Scotty's original intervention.
PANEL OF THE DAY - Revealed! What eats tribbles?
REVIEW: Another completely new story, excellent! Classics really can't be approved upon, so The Trouble with Tribbles is essentially "replaced" in the J.J. Abrams timeline with this completely different first contact with the lovable, fertile furballs. For the first time, we get a look at their native environment, a beautiful, quirky planet as designed by Claudia Balboni whose pleasant,colorful and thin-lined art seems well suited to a light-hearted tale. The tribbles' natural predator provides a bit of action - I hope those phasers are on stun or else you'll break the ecosystem in half! - and there's the promise of some Klingons in the next chapter (hopefully). It IS a bit of a stretch that Scotty would be fiddling around with tribbles (and accidentally infesting Starfleet Academy) just as their planet comes into range, but his role as comic screw-up is fun enough. So, of course, not on the same level as The Trouble with Tribbles and certainly not as funny, but it at least breaks new ground and goes its own way. I respect it for that.
Labels: Comics, Star Trek
Should we be concerned about the new series' making Scotty an amoral monster for the sake of jokes? The movie revealed that he killed Admiral Archer's dog in one of his transporter experiments, and now he's trying out theories on tribbles. Then again, our Scotty did send a load of tribbles to a spot where they were virtually guaranteed to be killed, so...
Noted: they can send things all the way back to Earth now? This transwarp beaming business is getting perilously close to making starships irrelevant (if they take it seriously and treat it as more than a plot device...)
Bully said...
Add to continuity, maybe: that tribble predator looks a bit like a meaner version of the "glommer," the tribble-eater on The Animated Series' More Tribbles, More Troubles. (It's less cute but certainly has the requisite color and similar limbs).
Snell: Scotty and small animals. Never a good mix.
Bully: Good catch!

This article traces the history of speech wave visualization and the longstanding relationship between phonetics, communication engineering, and deaf oral education. American telephone engineers drew on this history to build the sound spectrograph in the 1940s, a machine that transformed the representation of sounds by considering speech not in terms of meaning nor in terms of airborne waveforms but in terms of the characteristics of its perception and the minimum features by which it could be reconstructed. The sound spectrograph was designed to make telephone transmission more efficient and to support deaf oral communication; the ability of deaf subjects to read spectrograms was, moreover, the best evidence for the identification of information-bearing features in a complex speech wave. The sound spectrograph directly influenced information theory, which gave mathematical instructions for the efficient digital encoding of audio and visual signals. Spectrograms suggested that much of the content of speech was redundant or irrelevant and could be discarded without a listener perceiving any difference. It will be argued that deafness ultimately served as an "assistive pretext" for nineteenth-century phoneticians and twentieth-century engineers, who quickly turned to more profitable applications for their devices.


We had a wonderful opportunity to sample some Bordeaux wines which had some bottle age recently. As always, we are thankful to all who brought them & shared.
This has been a property, which for me over the years, has been hard to predict what you will get in terms of true quality for the dollar. Being a Second Growth, when they hit the nail on the head, the resulting wine can be unforgettable (1959 & 1961 were like that). However, there are many other years, where the dollars warranted by its Second Growth status seems to be over priced. Still, there is a reason why this property garnered a Second Growth status. One can smell it in the wine, even in this fully matured 1981. Yes, it is very light, approachable AND VERY mature (perhaps pre-maturely aged), but the nose had the pedigree, intricacy & character, albeit a bit washed out & therefore vague. A pretty wine nonetheless.
This wine sure got a lot of hype upon its release & ending up with a 97 point score from 1 publication & 95 from the other. Today, this wine still shows a lot of stuffing, ripe fruit & structure, which has been surprisingly slow to evolve, considering it is now 15 years old. Some would say this is a vin de climat, as it certainly benefited from a generous amount of sunshine & it will have a lot to say once it really opens up again. I just hope that as opulent, lavish & intense the stuffing of this wine is, the terroir & Second Growth qualities are too.
What a huge contrast in comparison to the 2000 Leoville Barton, we tasted just before it. Graphite, pencil lead, camphor, tobacco, cedar–lots of classic Pauillac character AND more masculine then the Leoville. This wine, too, has depth intensity & structure for much longer cellaring. It actually made me appreciate the 2000 Leoville Barton even more.
This was a very eye catching wine, probably because it was much more open & strutting its stuff. The fruit is ripe, dense, classy, provocative with lots of finesse, elegance & class. My wife added the words….absolutely delicious. VERY impressive, to say the least!
This wine brings back so many wonderful memories, as it was one of the first Grand wines I had ever experienced. I was absolutely floored by this wine on first taste. It was immense, incredibly intense, masculine, powerful & grand. This was a monument! & built to last. Black & murky. Although I adored the '70 Lafite's incredible perfume, '70 Palmer's class & the innate grandeur of the '70 Petrus, the 1970 Latour was for me the wine of the vintage in Bordeaux. Furthermore, I have been fortunate to taste it, a surprisingly amount of times over the years since & therefore it really is one of those I have watched evolve through its various stages. I was very apprehensive to try the 1970 today. I had put this wine on a pedestal, so how could any wine live up to such high expectations. Yes….it did. I loved the maturity….still with grandeur, sophistication….a classic……timeless. Thank you,. thank you, thank you. Michael also graciously opened a 1982, which sadly was corked. The wine's wonderful ripeness & amazing depth, however, clearly showed this wine has a VERY long way to go.
For Carl's birthday, a bunch of friends showed up, armed with a whole slew of venerable wines from Champagne to solera Montilla to the evening's piece de resistance–a vertical of Chateau Cos d' Estournel.
What a golden opportunity! Thank you all for sharing. The highlights? The second bottle of 1985–much fresher with a solid core & great structure. 1990–really quite closed, but it certainly has all of the right stuff. 1995–again, another wine really quite closed, but one to watch out for. 1996–along with the 1985, probably showed the best on the night. But, who's choosing? The overall experience was really amazing!
In some parts of the world these would be classified as dessert wines…..in other parts "stickie's"….for me, pure nectar. AND, the amazing thing is that these 3 wines may have started out as sweet, but now because of the considerable bottle age of each, the once apparent sweetness has turned into more of a visceral creaminess/viscosity AND the wine's minerality is thankfully once again clearly visible. Really quite fascinating wines.
Here is the idiosyncratic genius of Manfred Prum & his iconic vineyard in one of his best vintages. (Manfred also produced one of the best Eisweins I have ever had in 1983). Such great purity, filigree & pinpoint balance, all in great harmony, after 32 years of bottle age.
I still vividly remember all of the hoopla created, when this wine was released. At 32 years of age, it is still an adolencent. It still has much more to resolve & therefore a LONG way to go. Save your bottles.
Talk about obscure! This is 45 year old Chenin Blanc from France's Loire Valley! And, unlike Vouvray & its limestone soils, this estate's vineyard has more rock & schist (& some clay & limestone) to its soil composition, which results in a VERY different character, which is plain to see now that the high residual sugar levels have had a chance to resolve itself after 45 years. There are all kinds of smells, layering, nuances & intricacies, beyond just fruit & spice qualities. I suggest you serve such a wine in a big 22 ounce glass, so you can swirl & sniff for a long time so it has a chance to open up. Wines like this don't come around too often. Yes, in a previous blog, I noted that this winery had been controversial at one time on the authenticity of its winemaking claims & ageworthy prowess, but I suggest you smell & taste this wine & judge for yourself.
Yes, we have been tasting quite a slew of aged wines lately. Thank you to all who come by to share!
Although quite modern in style, I find Elio Altare's Barolo wines are much more elegant & refined than those from other contemporaries such as Paolo Scavino or Domenico Clerico & certainly Angelo Gaja & some tasters (even knowledgeable/experienced ones) may be underwhelmed at first because of Altare's style. This 1998 was quite a stylish, classy, highly refined, majestic red with superb elegance & balance. Having said that, I would also say the pedigree of this bottling was surprisingly muted, even after considerable time of being open. Let it sit in your cellar. I really think with 25 or so more years, this will be a glorious, wonderfully perfumed aristocrat, which tasters will wish they had put away more bottles.
I remember being wow-ed when the 1998 was released, by its immensity, sun drenched depth & prolific structure & tannins. Yes, it was a monster. It's really nice to see now, however, the breed & stoniness of the La Crau vineyard making its way back to the forefront, both in the nose & the taste & all of the parts are starting to resolve & harmonize. Make no mistake, this is an infant with quite a ways to go, but one can now get a better feel for where it is headed.
There is no doubt that Alvaro Palacios is one of Spain's true game changers in the wine arena. His is a fascinating story, as he left his family's domaine in Rioja to first study abroad, including an eye opening, imagination stirring stint with Christian Mouiex at Chateau Petrus, before founding his own winery in Priorat, Spain. Although his first major acquisition was Finca Dofi in 1990, it really was the later acquisition of L'Ermita, a higly revered, steep, northfacing 4 acre parcel of well drained schist soils, which would position him to shoot for the stars. L'Ermita (planted in 1900 to 1940) is not only one of Spain's most iconic superstar wines, its meteoric rating, accolades & considerable pricing would create, along with Pingus, a whole new niche for wines in his country, similar to what Sassicaia & Angelo Gaja had done in Italy. And, like what Sassicaia has done for Bolgheri & the Tuscan coast, L'Ermita (& Pingus) has inspired a boom of vineyard & winery growth in the Priorat appellation. I must say, however, I think it is too early to make a true qualitative call on this phenomenon & specifically L' Ermita, given that 1993, or so I was told, was the first vintage. My quandry? Although the winemaking is top notch, I wonder if that is what the hoopla is more about. Granted, L'Ermita is mainly old vine Grenache with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon & perhaps Carignane blended in, BUT I don't seem to get the depth of character, vinosity or breed of other red wines in this upper echelon. Since I have such limited experience tasting L'Ermita, having had only the 1995, 1998, 2001 (3 times) & this 1999 (4 times), I guess only time will tell.
The 2005 vintage was considered to produce some very profound wines in Italy. We have tasted some pretty, sundrenched, resoundingly structured trophy end RED wines which are seemingly built for long term aging. We thought it would be fun & enlightening to taste three 2005 Italians–2 Reds….& 1 iconic white….….now 9, (almost 10) years old, just to see where they are in the development curve. Rest assured, I decanted these 5 or 6 hours before the tasting. Just another really good opportunity to learn!
an indigenous Italian grape variety made in the old ways (wild yeast in clay amphora & buried in the ground just as the Romans did)…by true iconic winemaker Josko Gravner. This "orange" wine featured wonderful minerality, with all kinds of idiosyncratic, crazy nuances, which just seem to unveil as the wine opened up. Seamless & remarkably UN-heavy though masculine & resoundingly structured in style. It really was an interesting glass of wine.
70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella & 5% Molinara—dried out on straw mats for 3 months & aged in ovals for 30 months. I am not a huge fan of Amarone, as I find them to really be about ripeness & over ripeness rather than terroir. I could definitely say the same about alot of dessert wines. Yet, after 30 or 40 years of bottle age, I interestingly find that the terroir can once again emerge after the wine has had a chance to resolve itself. I wonder if that also happens with Amarone? Although I have tasted some older Bertani bottlings, I am still not convinced.
one of the showiest, most flambuoyant, upper tier single vineyard Barolo. Definitely ultra-modern & way over the top for me. In my early years, I always thought youthful Gaja Barbaresco was too oaky & over the top too. Then, one time, I experienced a glorious 20 year old 1978 Costa Russi & that completely changed my view. I am wondering if that too can happen with the Paolo Scavino wines?
10 or 11 years ago, Cheryle & I met Dino Coro' & Isabella Zambon & their two beautiful, young children—Jessica & Filippo, as they dined in our Hiroshi Eurasion Tapas restaurant. Every year, they would come back to vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii & make periodic "shopping" trips to Oahu & dine at night either at VINO or Hiroshi's. They have become such dear friends over the years & we have watched Jessica & Filippo grow up & blossom. They all really warm my heart.
A few years ago, while on a wine trip in Germany, Cheryle really wanted to go to Venice to see the city, but also to see our friends. We discovered that their Osteria Oliva Nera eaterie is generally regarded as the finest restaurant in Venice & we had 2 great meals there. We were also amazed at how many people from Hawaii have dined there too & every year when the Coro' family came to Honolulu thereafter, their Hawaii friends would get together with them in VINO on a special night. For 2015, after a hiatus of 3 years, the Coro' family (Isabella, Jessica & Filippo) came back….& January 8th was that special night.
Rather than asking Isabella to cook, VINO Chef Keith Endo came up with a special menu & we came up with the wine pairings. For all who know the Coro' family, this was their chance to say hello. For those who do not know them, this was a chance to savor some of Chef Keith's foods AND meet some very special people, (which may come in handy if they ever were to go to Venice in the near future).
Yes, it was a very special night. Thank you to all who came. Also, many thanks to Isabella, Jessica & Filippo. I know Dino was also there amongst us & I thank you for coming. As I have said many times in the past, I am somehow connected to this family beyond what I can explain. They truly warm my heart.
As avid wine collectors well know, Coche Dury produces TWO of the most celebrated collectible white wines–the Grand Cru Corton Charlemagne & the Meursault Premier Cru–Perrieres. Over the years, I have heard so many insiders say how Perrieres should be a Grand Cru vineyard & these 2 wines certainly support that thought. I am often a skeptic with such clamour but these 2 wines are majestic, glorious wines of remarkable intensity, power, intellect, grandeur & pedigree. The 2005 is a monster, so virile, masculine & with surreal intensity & immensity. What a real shame it was to drink at a mere 9 years of age. The 2008, on the other hand, has a riveting, mesmerizing, clearer purity/transparency, eventhough it too was mega-intense & well structured. I often scratch my head in wonderment of what could be, when I see adjacent parcels of Yves Boyer Martenot on one side & on the other side a parcel sourced to Maison Latour.
Talk about having a wine at an ideal time of its life!!!! Pure mineral, with lots of pedigree, precision, refinement & ethereal-ness. Brilliant! Wow! I know some discount the 2003 vintage in France some, but I must say that this wine really showed me otherwise. Furthermore, where Raveneau's Les Clos & Blanchots bottlings seem riper & more showy, I typically find his Valmur to be much more ethereal, as was the case here. I prefer to believe producers of this echelon really can show different perspectives on a vineyard because of vintage growing conditions……rather than me choosing a specific vintage I like. Here is a case in point!
I am & have been an avid fan of the Meursault wines from Francois Jobard. I am finding more & more, that the numbers of believers like me are dwindling. This style of old fashion winemaking is just not en vogue. I am sorry for Francois & his son Antoine, for the undeserved under appreciation, but selfishly, it means more for me & at far better pricing. I guess I am shooting myself in the foot for even writing about this calamity, but I cannot help myself. Every time I am fortunate to have an older bottle, & after 2 1/2 hours of breathing, I am just completely taken by wines like this. The Jobard Charmes & especially his Genevrieres bottling, in my humble opinion, deserve Grand Cru status, just as the Coche Dury Meursault Perrieres does. Charmes seems finer, more delicate & the Genevrieres more stately with more grandeur. I suggest you use a big glass, so you can swirl & swirl to coax out the magnificance. It really is worth it.
Our New Year's Eve winetasting in VINO, included 3 top echelon "grower" Champagne. (A friend brought the 4th, just to share). The recoltant manipulant (grower) category of Champagne seems to be really catching on & growing across the country. Here are 3 certainly worth checking out!
100% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru Village of Oger. Surprisingly powerful, penetrating!
80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, actually from a single parcel in Rilly la-Montagne. No ML, 10 months in OLD barrels. 50 months sur latte. One of the true standout "grower" Champagnes.
100% Chardonnay from the villages of Avize, Cramant & Oger. Typically for the Initial bottling Selosse uses the lower slope vines of the 3 villages AND blends 3 different vintages. Then for the Exquise bottling, he will add a little more dosage , so there is a hint of sweetness (typically around 24 grams per liter). On this night the Initial tasted stark, pure & minerally (to the point of being more Burgundy-like than Champagne like). It was exciting tasting the Exquise, which I do not think is imported into the U.S. or perhaps in very minute quantities, side by side. It gives one a very different perspective.

This data is fetched from the server and I want to traverse through each element, and for that I want to map this data.

A: Use Object.keys() to map over all keys. Object.keys() reference
Object.keys(data).map(key => {
    const value = data[key];
    // do whatever you want with the data
});
