Though carols are traditionally associated with Christmas, this was not always the case. "Carol" comes from the French word 'carole' which means circle dance accompanied by singing. It was part of any festivity and gradually came to be associated with holidays like Christmas. In England, festivities were banned following the Civil War and Protestantism, but many song writers and Protestants wrote musical works to be sung at Christmas and these were referred to as "carols." Today, Christmas anywhere in the world is incomplete without carol singers and songs. They celebrate the season, the birth of Christ, the joy of the holidays and convey good wishes and cheer to listeners. Many famous carols are written in German, French and Latin as well as English. The Christmas Carol Collection by Various includes some traditional and some modern day carols, all of which embody the spirit of the festive season. The first one, Christ Was Born on Christmas Day is a 13th century song, which was once very popular all over Europe. The original Latin was translated by John Mason Neale, an eminent English clergyman, in the nineteenth century. American lyricist Charlotte Homer's delightful 1902 Christmas Lullaby follows next, set to music by Charles Gabriel Hutchinson. The famous and charming carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, which was once a popular English folk song is also included here. It was first published in England in 1780 without music and was meant to be chanted. Come All You Merry Gentlemen, a 19th century song, follows. Est ist ein Ros entsprungen a beautiful 15th century German carol is next on the list. This song may be more familiar as Lo How a Rose e'er Blooming to the English speaking world. Gesu Bambino, a delightful Italian song was set to music by Frederick Herman Martens. The famous African-American gospel song, Go Tell it on the Mountain is a rousing anthem to the glory of God. A fifteenth century Sussex carol, the 19th century Boston carol, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, the traditional yet popular English carol I Saw Three Ships, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's charming I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day, Eduard Ebel's 1895 German song, Leise Reiselt der Schnee and more are included in this collection. These lovely carols invoke the theme of this most enjoyable festival, which conveys the message of hope and eternal life hereafter.

Kevin Ambriz is the most likely candidate to fill the leading scorer's role after the graduation of Corbin Osborne, who scored 41 goals for North Montgomery last season.
The four-year cycle of talent that defines and structures high school sports is always a difficult one when a program fixture graduates, and that's what Mike Margeson and the North Montgomery boys' soccer team will have to transition with this year.
With the graduation of Corbin Osborne, who was tied for the state lead in goals last season with 41, the Chargers lose nearly 70 percent of their offensive production.
The good news? Opportunities will open for some players to step up, and Margeson believes that Kevin Ambriz will be a player to watch this season.
Last year's squad went 8-7 overall, 3-4 in the Sagamore Athletic Conference, which looks to be another group of tough teams in 2018.

Which resiliency option is best for your Managed File Transfer solution?
by Mark Allen | Nov 10, 2016 | Blog, High Availability
As a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution becomes more business critical, an organisation needs to consider how to make their system more resilient to failure.
There are different ways of achieving this, depending on your chosen solution but before you think about adding resiliency there are a few things you will need to consider.
High Availability Vs Disaster Recovery
Highly Available (HA) Managed File Transfer systems typically rely on two or more nodes, which can each handle requests at the same time. When a single node fails, the other nodes carry on and can pick up the extra load from the failed node. In many cases MFT systems tend to use either a native clustering technology such as Windows Server Clustering or will have proprietary heartbeats which keep nodes aware of each other. When one node fails, only connections and transfers that are actively passing though that node are lost, while other transfers passing through other nodes are unaffected and keep being processed. The goal for a HA system is nearly zero downtime in the event of a failure.
Disaster Recovery (DR) systems are designed to provide resilience in the event of a more significant failure of the Managed File Transfer system. DR systems are typically based in a different location to the standard system and only accept connections and transfers when the main system is unavailable. Network routing, storage and database replication and other infrastructure changes may be needed to be completed before the DR system can be activated and this can lead to a period of service downtime while this takes place.
Active:Active or Active:Passive
When it comes to designing a HA system, most MFT solutions offer either an Active:Active or an Active:Passive configuration.
In an Active:Active configuration, two or more nodes are running and sharing resources such as storage and database links.
With Active:Passive HA configurations, all the load is passed through a single node and, when that fails, another node in the system will detect it and start all the services required to run the system. This will mean that all connections are lost in the event of failure but typically, service is resumed very quickly in the event of failure.
Stretch HA
Some MFT solutions are now able to offer a hybrid HA/DR type configuration, where nodes can be sited in different data centres and able to accept connections independently of each other. They will typically write to storage which is either replicated in near real time or will deal with synchronising data between nodes independently of any infrastructure. This is becoming more popular as it reduces the footprint of the overall MFT solution while providing the benefits of HA and DR architectures. The downside to this is that not every MFT solution can support this architecture and that the network infrastructure required is more complicated.
Before deciding on a resilient architecture you need to consider some or all of the following factors.
HA and DR solutions need more architecture and are significantly more complicated to configure and manage. Additional servers, management interfaces and network resources all need to be factored in and available.
2. Networking
Global and Local load balancers are needed to route the traffic to the correct nodes. These are usually configured in either a "round robin" type of configuration where connections are passed to each node in turn, or for some more advanced load balancers connections are tracked and passed to the least busy node. In addition, networking routes and firewalls need to be configured for all nodes including passive or DR nodes. Specifically for DR, trading partners and end users may need to be able to send to alternative nodes.
3. Storage Replication
Typically HA solutions will share storage but for DR, solutions may need storage replication between data centres. If this is only happening on a schedule, then data may not be available when the DR system comes up, or in some cases, the system may not be able to come up until the data is replicated.
4. Database Clustering
In a similar way to data replication, databases for HA systems are typically run on replicated technology. If the same database is to be used between the data centres, synchronous database clustering would need to be used (rather than asynchronous approaches like mirroring or log shipping). This should be near instantaneous to avoid similar issues to Storage replication.
5. Proxies
Forward and reverse proxies can be very helpful to shield any node failures from incoming connections, as they typically "front" the systems and should remain unaffected by any node failure. This can be a big advantage for using these gateways but care needs to be taken if in a DR configuration that these must be failed over too in the event of a server failure.
6. Monitoring
Monitoring tools should be in place checking a variety of factors such as services running, and node statuses. If these detect a failure, alerts should trigger and if possible automated failover scripts should be executed to bring up any additional nodes or resources.
Using virtualisation tool to achieve DR
In order to simplify the whole HA/DR architecture, many organisations now leverage virtualisation tools such as VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) or vSphere vMotion. These can handle the moving of the virtual server instance to another virtual environment with all associated resources.
If servers are physical, some solutions offer DR tools that can automatically trigger remote instances of the services using simple monitoring.
In mission critical B2B workflows achieving maximum uptime is of paramount importance. The type of resiliency your business requires may even determine your choice of solution, however this may also be driven by infrastructure limitations or simply the way in which the vendor charges for the additional nodes required to deliver.

Managed File Transfer Needs Analysis
200 essential questions to consider before implementing your chosen Managed File Transfer solution.
A full feature comparison of Managed File Transfer solutions from the eight leading vendors in the industry.
Why Do File Transfer Systems Need a Health Check?
by Mark Allen | Oct 6, 2016 | Blog, High Availability, Managed File Transfer, Pro2col
A Managed File Transfer solution like many other IT systems, requires regular system maintenance to keep it performing at optimum efficiency. Luckily, most back end house-keeping tasks can be automated, but how the tool is configured may mean it's not reaching optimal performance.
A health check can uncover bottle necks, security issues, performance gaps and any inconsistencies with best practice.
Many MFT vendors pride themselves on the fact that their solution can be installed by any IT professional. However, this is only half the story. There can be hundreds of security settings inside the applications and knowing the implications of turning a particular feature on or off is not always obvious. Many of the systems have a set of default settings, which are a vendor's view of compliance. These may not align with an organisations security policies, local legislation or particular client SLA's.
For example, checking the environment an MFT solution is running on may lead into the following questions being raised; "Is the server being backed up?" or "Is the server running under the correct account credentials?" You might be surprised at the number of systems which are not.
MFT solutions in larger organisations may handle many thousands of transfers every hour in extreme cases; as a result ensuring the system is as lean as it can be is vital to meet increased demand. Many of the systems we look at have old, out of date, or even test processes configured which, while they may not move data, clutter up the systems or constantly fail, which can skew KPI reports.
In addition, removing unused or expired accounts and data can help free up capacity on the server. Workflows may be created when a system is installed, altered over time or duplicated. It may be possible to rebuild workflows to reduce complexity making them easier to troubleshoot. Other settings that frequently need changing are security protocols such as TLS or authentication sources. For initial implementation, the system may not have been connected to the organisation's Active Directory for example, but now the number of users has grown, this would improve security.
MFT systems are typically much more reliable than legacy file transfer systems built into operating systems. File transfers only tend to fail, when the remote server has an issue or if someone changes the network. Combine this with the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" school of thought and the systems are often not looked at or kept up to date with the latest versions and patches. As vendors develop their solutions, new features are introduced and issues addressed. Sometimes these can then be leveraged to significantly improve either the performance of the system, or can add functionality offloaded elsewhere. A vendor maintenance agreement, is only valid if you are running a supported version of software, which can leave an organisation exposed if they have a major issue.
Keeping the MFT system software up to date means that the system can benefit from all the latest features and security patches.
System Managers move on to new roles and are replaced. Often there is some handover of what the system will do and how to perform common operations on it. However, this is not always a complete training course and can be prone to mis-perceptions being propagated.
At installation time, several features may not have been activated as they were not required for initial deployment; however it may transpire that these features address needs that have subsequently appeared. Utilising features the MFT solution has can help the system to perform better and may allow the organisation to get more return on investment.
Is it future proof?
As an organisations' requirements change over time, the initial installation and configuration can become inappropriate to fulfil the organisation's needs. Preparing your system for either High Availability or Disaster Recovery implementations may not be as straight forward as installing new nodes. A health check at this point may throw up issues such as database locations or firewall problems, which if dealt with before any configuration changes, can make the whole process go much smoother.
A good regular health check ensures that your system is running efficiently and effectively. As Managed File Transfer becomes mission critical, a health check ensures an organisation isn't taking any unnecessary or unknown risks.

Globalscape Launches EFT Version 7 – Offering High Availability, Stronger Security and Better Usability
by Pro2col Ltd | Jul 3, 2014 | Globalscape, High Availability, News
Globalscape launched version 7 of its Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) Platform on July 3rd. This latest upgrade provides organisations with even more control over their mission-critical information by offering several new features;
Support Active-Active High Availability (HA) architectures to maximise the uptime and performance of critical IT systems.
Facilitate PCI DSS version 3.0 compliance with updates to security components, such as OpenSSL, PGP and AS2
Enhance the compatibility of Web Transfer Client (WTC) file transfers by adding HTML5 support in addition to the existing Java Runtime Environment
Increase scalability and business continuity with more flexible, uninterrupted file transfer service
"In a recent study, we found that nearly 90% of organisations unexpectedly lose access to critical systems, resulting in lost data, productivity, and, of course, end-user frustration," said James Bindsell, president and CEO of Globalscape. "Active-active, high availability architectures – like what is now available in EFT version 7 – play a crucial role in maximising uptime and performance, and mitigating the negative ramifications of downtime."
HA Architecture provides:
Scalability : EFT version 7 with active-active mode enables organisations to scale their file transfer services as their business grows. Supporting greater capacity and event processing workloads, and ensuring spikes in traffic can be processed more efficiently, so that organisations can maintain uptime of their critical systems.
Business Continuity : Active-active redundancy provides uninterrupted service in the case of unexpected outages on one or more nodes, preventing organisations from losing customers, revenue and critical data.
Efficiency : The EFT active-active configuration is easy to maintain utilising available hardware, and offers maintenance flexibility for patching and upgrading systems without going offline. Additionally, existing disparate hardware can be used, providing potential cost-savings over active-passive cluster configurations. IT administrators can manage the entire HA cluster through a single administrative instance, no matter how many nodes are present.
Stronger Security:
In November 2013, the PCI Security Standards Council released the third iteration of PCI DSS. With the release of version 7, EFT meets the necessary requirements as a solution to facilitate PCI DSS version 3.0 compliance. Including updates to security components, such as OpenSSL, PGP and AS2.
Better Usability:
Other feature updates include the addition of HTML5 support for the EFT Web Transfer Client (WTC). HTML5 support provides a rich upload/download experience using a web browser interface and provides customers an alternative to the WTC's legacy reliance on the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
New Modular Availability for EFT
Globalscape's EFT platform has been repackaged to more directly and uniquely meet the file transfer needs of various organisations. From small businesses to major enterprises, Globalscape's new modular approach allows organisations to customise the EFT platform and pay for only the functionality they need.
If you are interested in learning more about EFT and would like a demonstration, please call the Pro2col team on 0333 123 1240. Alternatively if you have a current maintenance agreement, and wish to upgrade to EFT version 7, simply contact our support team on support@pro2colgroup.com.
Globalscape offers High Availability for Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) managed file transfer platform
by Pro2col Ltd | Apr 28, 2014 | Globalscape, High Availability, News
Globalscape plan to release version 7 of their Enhanced File Transfer™ (EFT) managed file transfer platform during the first week of July. EFT version 7 introduces next-generation features, including support for active-active high availability (HA) architectures, expanded PCI DSS version 3.0 facilitation and a greatly enhanced Web Transfer Client leveraging HTML5 technology.
EFT's active-active HA architecture provides:
Scalability: EFT enables organisations to scale their file transfer services as their business grows.
Business Continuity: Active-active redundancy provides uninterrupted service in the case of unexpected outages on one or more nodes.
Efficiency: The EFT active-active configuration is easier to maintain utilising available hardware, and offers maintenance flexibility for patching and upgrading systems without going offline. Additionally, existing disparate hardware can be used, providing potential cost-savings over active-passive cluster configurations.
IT administrators are under considerable pressure to deliver near-continuous uptime for critical systems. When planned or unplanned outages occur, organizations can experience a loss of customers, revenue, and critical data.
EFT version 7 works with industry-standard software or hardware-based load balancers to create an active-active HA environment. Administrators can manage the entire HA cluster through a single administrative instance, no matter how many nodes are present.
EFT version 7 running in active-active mode offers a level of scalability unmatched in the industry. EFT version 7 with active-active mode enabled, supports greater capacity and event processing workloads, and ensures spikes in traffic can be processed more efficiently, so that organisations can maintain uptime of their critical systems.
"Building on EFT's legacy of high performance, we're proud to introduce horizontal scaling as an active-active, highly available deployment option in version 7," said Robert Oslin, EFT product manager. "Organisations will be able to move massive amounts of data and maintain the critical uptime their business requirements demand."
A Secure, Compliant Solution
The EFT version 7 release includes other notable updates to improve performance and its enhanced, military-grade protection including updates to security components, such as PGP and AS2.
In November of 2013, the PCI Security Standards Council released the third iteration of PCI DSS. With the release of version 7, EFT meets the necessary requirements as a solution to facilitate PCI DSS version 3.0 compliance.
Other feature updates include the addition of HTML5 support for the EFT WTC. HTML5 support provides a rich upload/download experience using a web browser, and provides customers an alternative to the Web Transfer Client's legacy reliance on the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

For thousands of years, the mystery of how the pyramids in Egypt were made has puzzled the world. It takes 4,000 years to solve this mystery. Duch scientists find the answer.
So how the builders of the Ancient Egyptian pyramids transported their gigantic blocks? The answer might be more obvious than we thought!


Japanese Pearls are some of the finest man-made pearls. Their center core is made of plastic so the pearls are lightweight. They have been dipped in their coating a number of times to assure the finest luster possible. They will also not peel or flake. These pearls can be used in many ways. They are most commonly used for embroidery, particularly for bridal. Also used in various forms of crafting along with with use as fishing bait tackle (in the silver and gold plated pearls). They are manufactured by Japan's finest makers.


I've been wondering about what goes on behind the scenes on Tableau Server versus Desktop when it comes to displaying dashboards, and how it impacts performance. To give this some context, I have been developing a Sankey graph according to the steps outlined by Olivier Catherin (which is an excellent tutorial btw) and the plan is to use it in a dashboard that will be shared with other organization users via Tableau Server. For those who are not familiar with Sankey graphs, it's a way to visualize "flows" between start and end points.
Anyway, my Sankey graph has a highlight-on-hover feature that highlights all of the flows going out of a particular segment, and one of the frustrating things has been that even though this works great on Tableau Desktop (super responsive, instantaneous highlight, works just as you'd want), it's pretty slow on Tableau Server. It usually takes about a second or two before the highlight occurs when I hover over a flow or starting/ending segment on the graph. Even the tooltip isn't responsive, and disappears once I move the mouse pointer (and it's set to be responsive). This occurs even though the workbook and its data is running off of an extract and otherwise doesn't have to hit a live database. I understand that part of the problem could be that the Sankey graph involves duplicating rows in the underlying data set in order to plot the flow lines, but even so, the dashboard loads pretty quickly on Tableau Server. It's just the highlighting action/tooltip that is slow.
So I'm left wondering if there is something different going on behind the scenes in Tableau Server versus Desktop that could be causing this slowness with the graph? Is it because the dashboard is being served up via a network and not on a local machine? Or because it's being rendered in a web browser as opposed to in Tableau Desktop? Is there any way I can improve performance? As it stand now, the sankey dashboard is still functional and usable when viewed through Tableau Server, but for the user experience it would ideally be nice if it worked like it does in Desktop, with the same responsiveness.
I realize this question is a bit old. I just came upon it by searching for performance.
Performance can be tough to narrow down. But since it has already been noted that the workbook performs well in Desktop it is likely due to to the Server / Network environment.
Both Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server use the vizql process for rendering views, though Tableau Sever has other components.
One thing to try to determine if the Server machine is under resourced is to install a copy of Tableau Desktop on the Tableau Server machine open the workbook and take a performance recording.
If the workbook performance slow it is likely due to the Tableau Server environment.
* What version of Tableau Server is being used? Most minor releases contain performance improvements.
* What browsers versions have been tested?
* Are you experiencing the same slowness from the office on your internal network? Or is it only slow when you located somewhere else?
* Where is Tableau Sever hosted relative to your location?
* Is Tableau Server installed in a VM environment? And if so, are resources being shared?
* Does the workbook always perform slow when loading in the browser? Or is it only slow at certain times of the day?
I believe the above is a good place to start to help things get narrowed down.
While we would expect Tableau Server to maybe be a little slower, what is being described here sounds different.

Lionel Messi is not a dangerous player anymore

Footballys Saturday, March 07, 2020 0 Comments
Former Argentina goalkeeper Hugo Gatti has claimed that Barcelona's Lionel Messi isn't any more phenomenal which he "spoils" his team thanks to the slow tempo he plays at.
The two-time Copa Libertadores winner with Boca Juniors has claimed that the 32-year-old "walks more on the pitch now" than he wont to .
Despite this suggestion, Messi has still scored 23 goals in 30 appearances for the Catalans this season, contact another 16.
A former Argentine footballer says that the Barcelona striker "spoils" his team.
Editors' PicksDeco's guidance, Ferguson's confidence and living in Ronaldo's house helped Nani reach the top'Nobody knows him, how can he give orders to Messi?' - Setien's raging assistant Sarabia under the spotlightArsenal eye £17.5m Jonathan David as potential Aubameyang replacementMan Utd still checking out Rooney replacement
That has not spared him from Gatti, though.
"I don't care if people criticise me in Argentina," he told Chiringuito.
"I'm very Argentinian and Messi may be a phenomenon, but he is not a phenomenon now"
"They treat him wrong because they big him up and large him up and treat him wrong. He gets wont to it and walks more on the pitch. He has got to be better.

"They spoil the team and that they don't put everything they need into it.
"The team get wont to giving him the ball and not anyone else."
Messi is considered one among the outstanding players of all-time, having won the Ballon d'Or on six different occasions, including the 2019 award.
Barcelona star holds a raft of records, having netted more often than another other player in Barcelona Shirt, with 437 league goals scored in 473 appearances.
Although Messi wasn't on target in last weekend's Clasico against Real Madrid, a match his side lost 2-0, he had scored four against Eibar hebdomadally earlier to help his side to the highest of the table – an edge they subsequently lost at the Bernabeu.
On Saturday, they tackle Real Sociedad at Camp Nou, with a win putting them to the summit of the standings for a minimum of 24 hours as Madrid don't play Real Betis until Sunday.

Juan José Carricondo Pérez, plus connu sous le diminutif de Juanjo, né le  à Barcelone (Catalogne, Espagne), est un footballeur espagnol qui joue au poste de milieu de terrain.

Biographie
Après s'être formé à La Masia, Juanjo joue au FC Barcelone C et au FC Barcelone B. Il ne joue qu'un seul match en première division espagnole avec le FC Barcelone lors de la saison 1995-1996, face au Deportivo La Corogne.

En 1998, Juanjo est recruté par le club écossais du Heart of Midlothian, où il reste jusqu'en 2001. Juanjo joue à un bon niveau avec Heart, il dispute 87 matchs et marque 11 buts. Il rejoint ensuite le club anglais de Bradford City, équipe évoluant en deuxième division, en 2001. En 2003, il retourne en Espagne pour jouer au Real Jaén en Segunda división B ().

En 2004, il repart en Écosse pour jouer en première division avec le néo-promu, Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Il est l'un des meilleurs joueurs de l'équipe. Une blessure au talon d'Achille l'empêche toutefois de jouer au début de la saison suivante. Mais lorsqu'il est rétabli, l'entraîneur-joueur Craig Brewster ne compte pas sur lui. Juanjo est prêté à l'Hamilton Academical lors du mercato d'hiver. Il marque deux buts en Coupe d'Écosse face au club de  Dundee FC, et en championnat contre Brechin City.

Taipei, Jan. 15 (CNA) A Taiwan-held island off the coast of China that was a major battleground during the Cold War will be opened to the public as a tourist destination, starting March 1, the Kinmen County Tourism Department said Tuesday.
However, visitors will have to apply ahead of time to visit Dadan Island, which is part of Kinmen County, the department said, adding that it will begin accepting applications on Feb. 12.
In addition, Chinese nationals, including those living in Hong Kong and Macau, will not be permitted to visit the island, the department said.
The number of visitors will be limited to 150 per day and admission tickets will cost NT$1,500 (US$48.67), which will include the return ferry trip, electric shuttle bus rides and group tour guide services, while residents of Kinmen will get a discounted price of NT$750, the department said.
The ferry will run from Jiugong Pier in Lieyu Township, taking 30 minutes to Dadan Island, the department said.
The decision to open the 0.79-square-kilometer Dadan Island to visitors with effect from March 1 followed a trial run last year from July 26 to Oct. 31, during which 3,061 people visited the island, bringing in revenue of NT$4.9 million, according to the Tourism Department.
The Republic of China (Taiwan) military presence on Dadan and neighboring Erdan islands dates back to 1949, when the ROC government relocated to Taiwan after losing to mainland China communist forces in a civil war.
The islets were the site of a fierce battle on July 26, 1950 as the communists set their sights on capturing ROC-held islands near China in the Taiwan Strait.
Communist forces fired a volley of shells before landing 700 soldiers on Dadan's beaches. Faced with the larger Communist Chinese invasion force, 298 ROC soldiers on Dadan fought for more than 10 bloody hours and emerged victorious the next day.
On Erdan, 39 ROC soldiers defended the 0.28 sq.km islet against an onslaught by Chinese forces.
For many years, the two islands continued to bear the brunt of the exchanges of fire across the Taiwan Strait, including the Aug. 23 Artillery Battle of 1958, when they were hit by more than 100,000 shells fired by China.
In 2014, the administration of the two small islands, which are located just over four kilometers from the Chinese city of Xiamen, was transferred from the ROC military to the Kinmen County government.


A while back, Sunday, December 3rd, 2017, to be exact, I was looking through The New York Times Book Review section when I came across playwright Alan Bennett's new book called "Keeping On Keeping On." It was a mildly interesting review of his diary (ODD SPOILER ALERT: he once shared the same doctor as Sylvia Plath) until I got to this: "He's so upset at what the Richard III Society has done to an old church that he rips down their banner and 'would have burned it, had I had a match.'" Brow knitted, I wondered: what have those wild-eyed, tweedy academic types been up to this time??
A Ricardian on lunch break? I think not!
*The website of St. Mary Lead reports only that it received a grant from The Richard the Third Society for renovations. It says nothing about the Society directing or instructing or approving the work.
In 1708, a skeleton is supposed to have been found in a secret chamber of the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall. The legend is that this pertains to Francis, Viscount Lovell, who was known to have fought at Stoke Field in 1487, suggesting that he may have fled back to his home to hide and suffocated as a result.
1) Lovell was granted a safe conduct to Scotland on 19 June 1488 by James IV, whose reign had begun just eight days earlier, after his father's defeat and death in the Sauchieburn rebellion. This does not prove that Lovell ever left for Scotland, indeed it could even have been a bluff on James' part, implying that the Yorkist adherent was still alive to foment further resistance in England.
2) Minster Lovell Hall had been in the hands of Jasper "Tudor", Duke of Bedford, for almost two years, making it very difficult for Francis to just stroll into his former home undetected for a game of sardines.
The New York Times and the Smithsonian website here have introduced a very similar case. A skeleton has been found at Leine Castle in Germany and will undergo DNA testing in case it is Count Philip Christoph Konigsmarck, the lover of Sophia Dorothea of Celle and a Swedish nobleman who was last seen in 1694. It is thought that the future George I, Sophia Dorothea's husband then known as Georg Ludwig, caused or ordered Konigsmarck's death.
1694 was the year that Mary II died without issue but her husband William III was still to live for eight years. He didn't remarry but could have done. His sister-in-law Anne was still alive with at least one of her children. The Act of Settlement, which excluded Catholic claimants was not passed until 1701, so James VII/II's son (James Francis Edward) and youngest daughter (Louisa Maria Teresa) still arguably had claims to the British thrones, as did Sophie, Electress of Hanover, who was Georg Ludwig's elderly mother and only predeceased Anne by a few months in 1714.
In 1694, Georg was possibly seventh in line and could have been relegated further had William III had children by another wife or Anne's children survived for longer. The events of the next twenty years, although all natural or legislative, were almost of Kind Hearts and Coronets proportions.

In this article, we will explore the concept of DevSecOps and discuss how we can apply its principles building an e-commerce application with a cryptocurrency wallet on Alibaba Cloud.
By Anand V, Alibaba Cloud Tech Share Author. Tech Share is Alibaba Cloud's incentive program to encourage the sharing of technical knowledge and best practices within the cloud community.
"By 2019, more than 70% of enterprise DevSecOps initiatives will have incorporated automated security vulnerability and configuration scanning for open-source components and commercial packages, up from less than 10% in 2016. By 2021, DevSecOps practices will be embedded in 80% of rapid development teams, up from 15% in 2017."
In recent years, we can see a shift in the maturity model of software development life cycle (SDLC) from Waterfall to Agile, and a massive culture shift to DevOps. Continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous delivery are now necessary for software development. One major aspect that many developers tend to ignore in DevOps is security. Integrating security at every stage of DevOps lifecycles is an essential element to DevSecOps.
DevSecOps is a software development concept or mindset that aims at unifying development, operations, and security as a single process in SDLC. In simple terms, DevSecOps is very much like DevOps but with an added emphasis on security. In the process of implementing DevSecOps, there is also a need for DevOps tools, microservices, containers, automation, APIs, and testing tools.
In software development, the concept of shifting left moves tasks, such as testing, earlier in the cycle so that these tasks occur in parallel with development activities.
The new application landscape is an opportunity to integrate security measures earlier in the development process to improve the security of the code that reaches production.
Integration of SAST, DAST, Penetration Testing with Vulnerabilities is important.
We need to build application faster so we need a microservices architecture.
With microservices, large and complex systems are decoupled into simple, independent projects. This brings agility and alignment with the overall business and helps developer make changes to the code immediately for the customers.
Software containers accelerate development by enabling applications to be broken down into microservices.
Containers hold packaged pieces of software that contain all the components (the software, system libraries, and file system) needed to run the service. This can improve the quality of testing and reduce the complexity of integration and deployment.
Automation aims to not only enhance the software development mechanism but also fill in the loopholes created by manual efforts in the software development model.
Organizations can adopt automation to tackle frequent regression testing iterations and seek to pace up the delivery process.
Developers will find automation a blessing when working on microservices architecture or when working on exceptionally large projects.
An API gateway establishes a single entry point for all requests coming from clients. This insulates the clients from being trouble by understanding how an application may be partitioned into microservices. This also enables clients to retrieve data from multiple services with only one request.
Alibaba Cloud Container Service provides support for Kubernetes clusters.
Using the application deployment capability of Alibaba Cloud Resource Orchestration Service (ROS), users can create a highly available and secure Kubernetes cluster with one click by using ROS templates.
The Kubernetes cluster consolidates Alibaba Cloud's storage, network, virtualization, and security capabilities to provide a high-performance application management that simplifies cluster creation and expansion.
Service discovery and server load balancing.
The solution architecture of the services from Alibaba Cloud is shown below.
The container solution architecture mentioned above acts as a microservice for the software development. A Kubernetes cluster provides excellent support for micro service operations, so you can focus on the development and iteration of application.
Splitting a massive app into a collection of microservices allows for agile development, testing, deployment, and O&M. Microservices are also easy to understand, develop, and maintain. Additionally, the free framework and technical options promote efficient communication within teams.
As a final step, Alibaba Cloud offers the automation necessary to implement the DevSecOps.
Alibaba Cloud provides supports Packer and Terraform for core packaging and infrastructure provisioning. These tools allow users to swiftly deploy their infrastructure and application on Alibaba Cloud. Enterprise business's rapid iteration of applications and infrastructure along with continuous development ensure enhanced operations and minimize maintenance costs.
Furthermore, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of flexible services designed to help customers to rapidly and reliably build and deliver products using Alibaba Cloud and DevOps practices. With the support of Terraform and Packer, Alibaba Cloud customers can possess impactful workflows to manage their global infrastructure.
Subsequently, users can save time and focus on delivering business-critical needs. Packer users can easily build and configure customized images on Alibaba Cloud using the same workflow and configuration as used for managing images on other platforms. Similarly, Terraform users can provision compute, network, and storage resources on Alibaba Cloud utilizing similar workflow and configuration as they would, when managing infrastructure on other clouds.
Alibaba Cloud is the one stop solution for organizations to evolve towards the DevSecOps model.
Based on the architecture discussed above, I have helped a customer host an e-commerce site using this platform. The e-commerce portal is equipped with simple functionalities, focusing mainly on electronic items – mobile phones, laptops, tablets, home automation products, and cameras.
Order item ID: Suppose you order 2 different products under the same order, it generates 2 different order Item IDs under the same order ID; orders are tracked by the Order Item ID.
Shift left in the continuous delivery. This is done by integrating security solutions to the modules, including adding WAF, anti-fraud, Server Guard, security testing, and CloudMonitor.
Enable the microservices architecture in the above 2 steps. This makes the portal scalable and brings agility and alignment to the business. With this solution, you can make changes to the code immediately for customers.
Integrate elastic computing in the cloud deployment using Server Load Balancer, Auto Scaling and Elastic Compute Service (ECS). We used containers as a part of DevOps lifecycle. Containers hold packaged pieces of software that contain all the components (the software, system libraries, and file system) needed to run the service. We used Auto Scaling to adjust to the demand of the customer spike during peak shopping season.
Also as a part of Development lifecycle, you can use Message Service to help with automation. Message Service is useful for typical large-scale, high-reliability, high-concurrency software code automation.
Integrate object storage and also the backend with APIs. You'll also need databases to process massive volumes of images and transcoding capabilities for image processing, and handling audio and video content.
Merge CDN with the lifecycles to accelerate content delivery for end users.
Once you complete the 7 steps above, you'll need to maintain the operations of the lifecycle with Cloud Monitor.
There are many available ways for you to host your e-commerce portal. For my solution, I have chosen the web hosting solution by Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud Web Hosting is a flexible and easy-to-use product that allows you to build or transfer a website using FTP. It supports a wide variety of web builders and is ideal for all kinds of applications, from personal blogs to e-commerce websites. All you need to do is select your preferred package and log in to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console.
As the next step we need to obtain FTP credentials. On your console, navigate to the Web Hosting section under the Domains & Websites. Go to File management and select upload site. On the Upload Site page, you can get the credentials for the FTP or reset the password for the FTP login.
Once this is completed then we can now manage our web files using an FTP client. We will be using Filezilla as our FTP client. We need to open Filezilla and enter the Hostname, Username, and Password obtained from the Web Hosting management console to enable a quick connect.
Upload your codebase in the htdocs folder. Then, you'll need to bind a domain to the Alibaba Cloud Server. We have to visit the console and click on Add-on Domains on the left-hand panel. Then enter the domain name to bind it with the test domain name by clicking OK. Resolve the domain name to *.aliwebs.com using CNAME. Hit the domain name and you will be able to see the website homepage.
We later integrated the whole solution using kubernetes and automated deployment. The architecture is very flexible and allows integration with microservices. I have used a few open-source microservices such as Hystrix and Chaos monkey.
I've also added a basic cryptocurrency wallet and the APIs for cryptocurrency API integration using blockcypher.
We have demonstrated the ability to create an e-commerce application with crypto-wallet integration using DevSecOps principles on Alibaba Cloud. This platform also utilizes continuous deployment and automation using DevOps.
Because continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) are core features of DevOps, it is clear that automation is a significant contributor to the entire DevOps model. Automation aims to not only enhance the software development mechanism but also fill in the loopholes created by manual efforts in the software development model. Organizations can adopt automation to tackle frequent regression testing iterations and seek to pace up the delivery process.
Additionally, developers will find automation a blessing when working on microservices architecture. And finally with SecOps, security features such as OAuth are also integrated into the platform.
Good one. Secops layer is interesting. WAF is https....and Server guard is for host....?

The Australian Cricketers' Association mourns the passing of former Australian all-rounder Gary Gilmour at the age of 62.
The left-arm swing bowler and hard-hitting batsman played a starring role in cricket's inaugural World Cup in 1975, destroying England with an incredible 6/14 and 28 not-out (28 balls) in the semi-final. It was just his third ODI.
Gilmour had suffered health complications for several years, which unfortunately escalated in recent weeks.
ACA President Greg Dyer commented:
"Gary Gilmour was an immensely talented cricketer who proved, at his best, what a formidable force he could be," he said.
"He was part of a fast-changing cricket world and made his mark with some truly outstanding performances. More importantly, he had a huge impact on those he played with and against, and was one of the most loved players in Australian cricket. 'Gus' was a person of great humour and there's no doubt we've lost a good man.
"On behalf of the ACA and our members, I offer my sincere condolences to Gary's wife Helen and family."
The all-rounder blasted his only Test century (101) in 1977 against New Zealand, hitting an incredible 20 fours and a six in bowler-friendly conditions at Christchurch against a Richard Hadlee-led attack.
In all, Gilmour played 15 Tests for Australia between 1973 and 1977, and after joining World Series Cricket, he was immortalised in the famous C'mon, Aussie C'mon advertising song with the line "And Gilmour's wielding willow like an axe".
Tributes on twitter:
Kerry O'Keeffe @kokeeffe49
Gus Gilmour has passed away..a sad day...had not an enemy in the game...his bat was an axe and he could swing a brick around a container.RIP
Rodney Hogg @RMHogg

Obama Hosts World Leaders At G8 Summit
GUY RAZ, HOST:
Leaders from among the world's eight biggest economies, known as the G-8, met at Camp David today. The main topic of conversation, keeping Europe's economy from imploding. The leaders also stressed the need for government policies that promote jobs and economic growth. President Obama says those measures have to go hand in hand with efforts to curb government deficits.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: As all the leaders here today agreed, growth and jobs must be our top priority. A stable growing European economy is in everybody's best interests, including America's.
RAZ: NPR's Scott Horsley has been monitoring the G-8 talks, and he joins us now. Scott, we just heard from the president a focus on growth rather than on austerity. We didn't hear that word. Does that represent a change, at least, for the European leaders at the G-8?
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Well, it does, Guy. You know, for the last, really, three years, ever since the economic crisis and the dealing with the fallout from that, there's been, sort of, a tug of war at these G-8 meetings and the larger G-20 meetings. And it's a debate that's familiar to those of us here in the United States between, on the one hand, cutting government deficits, and on the other hand, government policies that are designed to spur growth.
And in Europe, at least, the deficit hawks have - really have the upper hand, you know, a lot of austerity budgets on the continent, and now we're starting to see the pendulum swing back. And one sign of that, of course, is the election in France of the new president, Hollande, who ran on an explicitly anti-austerity, pro-growth platform. And now, at this meeting, even Germany, which has been the leading champion of austerity, was embracing a growth, something that needs to go in tandem with austerity measures.
RAZ: Now, of course, Greece is at the top of the agenda of many of these meetings. Greece is obviously not one the world's biggest economies, but it sounds like this was on everybody's mind today.
HORSLEY: They're nowhere near of membership in the G-8. It's a very much sort of a - an elephant in the room because the concern, of course, is that if Greece were to leave the Eurozone, that that could have spillover effects for other countries. So there was a strong commitment by the G-8 members to taking steps to keeping Greece in the Eurozone. Not a free pass for the Greeks, though. The join statement that was put out also stress that the Greeks need to live up to their own, thus, cutting commitments.
RAZ: Scott, this summit is just the beginning of a busy diplomatic week for the president. He heads to Chicago for the NATO summit tomorrow.
HORSLEY: That's right. He and many of the other G-8 leaders will be on their way to Chicago for a summit that is really focused on, both the future of NATO itself and its capabilities, but most importantly, what's going to happen in Afghanistan as the military troops begin drawing down from that country.
RAZ: That's NPR's White House correspondent, Scott Horsley, covering the G-8 Summit. Scott, thanks so much.
HORSLEY: It's my pleasure, Guy. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

THE BEASTIE BOYS: Sounding Human
At the outset of 1986, few among the music industry's trendspotters and prognosticators cared to predict that three white guys from NYC would become the
By Gregory A. DeTogne
At the outset of 1986, few among the music industry's trendspottersand prognosticators cared to predict that three white guys from NYCwould become the first rap group to top the album charts. But laterthat year that's just what happened when the Beastie Boys hit it bigwith Licensed to Ill, a volatile disc that blends hardcore punkattitude with the hyper-driven rants of hip hop.
Today, more than a dozen years later, the Beasties-Adam Yauch (MCA),Mike Diamond (Mike D) and Adam Horovitz (Adrock)-are back with HelloNasty, their first album since 1994. Hitting the U.S. charts late lastsummer at Number One, the disc sold 681,500 copies in its first week,setting a sales record for the year.
The debut of Hello Nasty was preceded by the first leg of the band'songoing tour, which is slated to resume next month in Asia after ahiatus lasting a little over four months. Three unannounced datesintroduced the live act last summer in Philadelphia, New York City andWashington, D.C. Next the band stormed the European festival circuitfor six weeks, then returned to Yakima, Wash., for two weeks' worth ofproduction rehearsals with an in-the-round P.A. rig supplied byBritannia Row.
As configured for the most recent U.S. leg of the tour (which endedon September 15 of last year), the system is based around six mid/highhangs, each of which includes eight narrow-Q Turbosound Flashlightenclosures and four wide-dispersion Turbosound Floodlight boxes.Arrayed to produce six stereo zones, the mid/high hangs are punctuatedalong a circular flyway by six arrays of low-frequency cabinetsmeasuring four deep in two columns.
Designed by the UK's Brilliant Stages, the Beasties' stage measures48 feet in circumference and features a revolving inner section. Led bycrew chief Huw Richards, the Britannia Row crew responsible for thesystem's upkeep include Tim Woodworth, Bob Lopez, Wade Rice and KirstenSmith. Paul "Paddi" Addison presides at FOH, with fellow veteranBeastie-ite Steve Wallace in charge of monitors. Addison hails fromLondon and first became a fixture on the Beasties' tour as a BritanniaRow systems engineer, "minding" the Beasties' previous FOH engineer,Mario Caldato Jr. (who is also the band's producer). When Caldatodecided to come in off the road, Addison was a natural replacement.Wallace has been with the Beastie Boys since 1992. Having spent anumber of years based in Minneapolis as an engineer for SouthernThunder Sound, he now conducts business from his home in Agoura Hills,Calif. Both Addison and Wallace directed the show's 360-degree audioactivities using Midas XL4 consoles.
While grand in scale, the Beasties' stage presents a clean,minimalist aesthetic, made possible in part by band-wide use of Shure'sPSM 600 Personal Stereo Monitor systems. As is often the case within-ear monitoring technology, stage levels are so low that Addison feltobliged to provide "infills" for those in the near-field audience, whowould normally get an earful from traditional sidefills and wedges.Ringing the stage in six groups, each infill battery includes twomid/high cabinets flanking a mid-only box. In addition, there are sixgroups of three subwoofers beneath the stage. Primarily intended fornear-field use, these subs provide a solid measure of seismic ambiencethat is felt by all standing atop the riser.
In the dozen-plus years since the Beasties sprung Licensed to Ill onan unsuspecting public, they have traveled along a steady path ofmusical and creative evolution. As testimony to their ever-expandingrange and depth, their current live show jumps between hardcore punk,the beat-boxing and scratching of hip hop, and even a peculiarlyBeasties brand of Latin jazz.
As the band cross freely over these musical boundaries, they arejoined onstage by an assortment of musicians. During the Latin-infusednumbers, a keyboardist and a percussionist are introduced. Anotherdrummer, known simply as AWOL, sits in for hardcore moments. For thetrio's hip hop forays, Mix Master Mike (of DJ fame with the InvisiblSkratch Picklz) stands behind two turntables and pours out an all-vinylsonic assault that you'd swear relies upon a hidden sampler or two-butit doesn't.
If anything has remained constant during the Beasties' stage career,it's that they are unpredictable. That being the case, it's extremelydifficult for either Addison or Wallace to plan anything. "The set listis different every night, and quite often we won't even see it until acouple of minutes before the show," Addison says. "Then, just as often,the band won't stick to it anyway. So you have to stay flexible."Addison's Midas XL4 console goes a long way toward keeping thingsmalleable. "With this band, there's no point in overcomplicatingyourself with automation," he says. "That's why I think the XL4 is theperfect board. I can use as little of it as I want, or as much as Iwant, depending upon how the show progresses."
For Addison, keeping it simple also means storing a mere threescenes in the XL4-one for each musical genre the Beasties deploy. Withthe exception of his faithful Lexicon PCM42, which is wired directly toa fader on the XL4 that he keeps under his finger all night, Addisonreturns all of his effects via a Yamaha 03D. Serving as a MIDI slave tothe XL4, the 03D changes with each scene and adjusts the level of theeffects.
In addition to the PCM42, which he uses for dub delays and "allmanner of odd noises the band and myself like" on vocals, Addison'scollection of outboard processing gear includes a Roland SDE3000 forslap echo, a Yamaha SPX1000 for drum reverb, a Lexicon PCM 70 for vocalreverb and a dbx 120X boom box, which was put to work adding a bit ofsubharmonic strength to the punk bass. All of the Shure Beta 58A radioand hard-wired microphones used for vocals are compressed throughdual-channel Summit tube DCL200 units, ten channels in total.
Despite the fact that an in-the-round setup is fraught withacoustical hazards such as a greatly intensified potential forfeedback, Addison is quick to point out the benefits of the 360-degreeplot. "Every speaker is actually closer to the audience," he says. "Thecoverage is much more even most of the time, and I've found that I canget away with much less compression. It's from about 160 Hz on downwhere the problems start. All of the energy you're pushing into theroom starts coming back toward the center, and you can wind up withthis great big low/mid build-up in the center. Holes may open in thelower frequencies as well. You walk through the room and suddenly thebass disappears. Then you walk two more feet and it's back. I've workedwith a number of systems in-the-round, and it's been the same withevery single one. These are essentially generic problems you have todeal with."
For Addison, combating these ills and maintaining an aura ofin-the-round equilibrium is a matter of mindful use of his BSSVaricurve EQ units. "You're always close to the edge with anin-the-round system," he says with the panache of one who enjoys takingcalculated risks. "If you cut too much EQ, it stops sounding natural.If you don't cut enough, you end up with a mess, and halfway throughthe show things will be ringing and you won't be able to find themquickly enough. With the Beastie Boys, it's a matter of feeling yourway through the show each night and striking a delicate balance. Thenit sounds human."
Much to Addison's liking, Wallace is definitely not doing anythingonstage that adds to the in-the-round feedback potentials or detractsfrom the fidelity of his audio high-wire act. Wallace keeps thingschurch-mouse quiet with his Shure PSM 600 personal monitor-based designand finds that going the in-ear route has not only lowered stagevolumes, but has added other benefits as well. "With the PSM systems,we could be playing in the round, in the square or on the flat, and itwouldn't make a difference," Wallace says. "Our sound onstage iscompletely consistent wherever we go. The band has gotten tighter aswell. I've heard them comment that they can hear themselves singing andplaying quite clearly-intelligibility is definitely up."
Prior to their discovery of in-ear technology, the Beastiesregularly thrashed about onstage amid a roiling 120 to 125dB SPL dinblaring from a monstrous contingent of wedges and sidefills. As theyears passed, they became more concerned with issues of hearing lossand, led to a large degree by Adam Yauch, the band pressed Wallace intoinvestigating whether in-ear systems would serve as a safeguard fortheir hearing while still meeting their monitoring needs. Wallace dulyassembled PSM systems for the entire band during last summer's firstproduction rehearsals, and the band soon took to the PSM units andSensaphonics 2X earpieces. The only other monitoring devices usedonstage are a drum thumper and a pair of wedges at the DJ position,which allow Mix Master Mike to cue his records with headphones off.
Like Addison's setup, Wallace's 48-channel XL4 is complemented byBSS Varicurve EQ. Also like Addison, Wallace found the levels ofautomation on the XL4 to be "just right" for the Beasties. "I group alot of the input down to VCAs, so I can run a majority of the show tothe center of the console," Wallace says. "With the scenes I program, Ichange my routing, effects on or off, and VCA levels. However, theindividual channel sends aren't automated, so when it comes to pans orriding big, long reverbs, that's still done manually. The automation isat a level where I don't completely lose the feel of the mix, but itstill takes away a lot of busy work and lets me concentrate on theshow."
In managing the seven mixes he delivers to the band, Wallace usesBSS 402 and Varicurve compression to control the varied dynamics sentto the Beta 58A RF vocal mics. A BSS 901 with four selectable bandsallows for frequency-weighted compression on Adrock's hard-wired Beta58A microphone. To compensate for the inconsistencies inherent invinyl, Summit TLA 100 single-channel tube compressors are inserted atDJ left and right. BSS 402s are inserted on the snare top channel, onan Akai MPC3000 sampler triggered from the drum stand, and on acousticbass, electric bass and clavinet.
"With all the in-ear devices in use, I didn't want to attempt totune my mix with racks and racks of graphics," Wallace says of his useof compression on vocals. "This way, if I need a tweak in the top end,or there's something welling up or not sounding right in an individualvoice, I can make very exacting adjustments without affecting theoverall quality of the mix. I don't maintain a lot of extra EQ. For me,anything beyond what's required gums up and changes the quality ofeverything."
There are a total of 41 inputs on the stage, and claws, clamps andcustom mounting devices are widely used in order to minimize the numberof mic stands. Shure SM91A and Beta 52 mics are used on kick drum, andWallace and Addison combine their outputs to tailor the sound accordingto the needs of each mix. Snare top and bottom are miked with ShureBeta 57As, rack and floor tom get SM98As, and AKG 414s are used for hatand underhead cymbals left and right. In the percussion section, congalow and high are miked with SM98As. Beta 56s are used for djembe high,bongos and timbales. Djembe low is captured by a Beta 52, with a verynecessary gate at FOH. Korg left and right, a clavinet/bass station,Rhodes, acoustic bass, electric bass and DJ left and right are inputvia active DIs from Countryman. One of two electric guitar sounds isavailable on demand-a Sennheiser 421 serves up a "clean" signal, whilea Sennheiser 409 performs with the required grit when somethingconsiderably "dirty" is required.
As of this writing, both Addison and Wallace are preparing for theresumption of their in-the-round routines. After the Asian leg windsdown, no solid plans have been made regarding the tour's future. Butwhat do you want? Let the Beastie Boys remain unpredictable.

PERC divided into 3 phases due to cost, focus
Phase 1 includes two lighted outdoor turf fields, sport courts

The Poulsbo Event and Recreation Center project will be divided into three phases after concerns were raised about cost and focus from the primary funder, the Kitsap Public Facilities District.
Senior projects planner Karla Boughton provided an update at the City Council meeting Dec. 14. She said the result of the discussions with KPFD, along with the city's unsuccessful attempt to acquire an additional nine acres of adjacent property, was to reorganize the PERC into phases and refine its approach.
Phase 1 would include two turfed and lighted tournament fields, with outdoor amenities such as basketball and pickleball courts, picnic shelters, Pacific Northwest-inspired playground, seating along walking paths and concession stands for sports tournaments, documents say.
Phase 2 would be the Event and Recreation Center, which would include indoor gyms and recreation spaces, along with rooms for events/meetings/classes.
Phase 3 would be the outdoor pool.
Phases 2 and 3 are dependent on adding more real estate and funding.
"We don't have the real estate today, but there are properties around this particular location that we could potentially acquire over time," Mayor Becky Erickson said, adding the city can also do joint land agreements with Western Washington University and Olympic College, which have campuses close by.
The preliminary cost for Phase 1 is estimated at $11.7 million. The district has ranked the center second in its funding priorities and discussions with its executive director indicate the board is prepared to move forward with a new agreement to fund Phase 1, documents say.
The city will need to match 33% of the $11.7 million. Erickson floated the idea of putting a Metropolitan Park District on the voter's ballot to help with some of the costs, adding it would generate up to $1.7 million annually.
Tournament fields
To hold large sports tournaments, the city has partnered with the Central Kitsap School District to use four of its lighted turf fields, along with the two turf fields at Strawberry Fields in Poulsbo, for a total of eight fields within a 15-minute driving radius.
BERK Consulting of Seattle conducted a market analysis and determined that the eight fields improve their marketability as a feasible tournament destination.
Cost/revenue estimates
Based on estimates from BERK Consulting, annual contracted maintenance for the two fields would be up to $6,100 and field replacement would cost between $700,000 and $1.3 million. Comparing other city field sites, BERK recommended the following rental rates: field rate, $40/hour; tournament fee, $475/day; and lights rate, $22/hour.
Based on estimated rental hours and recommended rates, revenue estimates were: practice revenue ($40/hour) would be up to $35,000; tournament revenue ($475/day) up to $4,750; lights revenue ($22/hour) would be between $6,400 and up to $9,600; and total revenue would between $30,000 and $50,000.
Other revenue options listed were advertising and sponsorship, concession stand rentals, shelter rentals and miscellaneous equipment rentals.
