See the readings
today's readings are Hebrews 3: 7-14; Psalm 95 and Mk. 1:40-45
Marguerite was born in Troyes, France, in 1620, the seventh of 13 children of a middle class family. At the age of 20, she felt the call to serve the Lord during a procession of Our Lady of the Rosary. Working with the sodality of the Congregation of Notre-Dame, in the year 1653 Marguerite accepted the invitation of the Governor of Ville-Marie (now Montreal) to come to New France to found a school in Ville-Marie.
Upon arrival, Marguerite quickly got to work. She founded the first church of Montreal, the chapel of Our Lady of Good Hope (Bonsecours) as well as its first school. With the arrival of the Filles du Roi, beginning in 1663, the Marguerite and her fellow sisters built a residence for these young women who had been recruited to come to New France to marry and through their children expand the population of New France.
The Bishop of New France was not happy with the idea of a group of uncloistered nuns, who lived with and amongst the people, and he tried to ensure that they were cloistered. Marguerite travelled back to France were she obtained letters patent from King Louis XIV to ensure that the congregation could be a group of secular nuns.
Marguerite died on this day in 1700. The day after her death, a priest wrote, "If saints were canonized as in the past by the voice of the people and of the clergy, tomorrow we would be saying the Mass of Saint Marguerite of Canada." However her formal elevation to sainthood had to wait until 1982, when she was canonized by Pope St. John Paul II.
Her legacy of caring for and educating people continues on in the work of the sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame which has had such a presence in Canada, more than a few of whom played a part in my own spiritual formation, for which I am truly grateful.
St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, pray for us!
PS - if you plan on visiting Montreal in the future, you can visit the church of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours. The original church, opened in 1675, was destroyed in a fire in 1754. However, a statue of Our Lady that Marguerite has obtained during a visit to France in 1672 survived the fire and can still be viewed by her tomb at the front left of the rebuilt chapel.

Russia Demonstrates Anti-Doping Cred By Prosecuting Whistleblower
The IOC has upheld the ban on Russian track and field athletes at the Rio Olympic Games, and Russia is naturally upset. "We have done everything possible since the ban was first imposed to regain the trust of the international community," the Russian Ministry of Sport insists. So how are they treating the whistleblower who provided reporters with all the details of Russia's doping scheme at the Sochi Olympics?
Russia has opened a criminal case against the former director of its antidoping agency, after his allegations that Moscow had systematically provided performance-enhancing drugs to its Olympic athletes….Russia's Investigative Committee said Saturday it was opening a case against Grigory Rodchenkov for alleged abuse of authority in his role as head of the Russian antidoping agency, Interfax reported.
….In a series of interviews Mr. Rodchenkov detailed Russia's intricate scheme of providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, with his own participation, and using law enforcement authorities to help cover up the traces in urine samples.
See? Russia is showing its full cooperation by ensuring that the guy who eventually ratted them out is suitably punished for his years of cheating on their behalf. Now, you may or may not approve of this, but as Donald Trump would say, it shows strength. And Donald appreciates strength. Unfortunately, his favorite strongman has turned on him:
Russian President Vladimir Putin walked back some of his previous praise for U.S. presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on Friday at a forum….Asked about previous comments in which he complimented Trump, Putin said they were misinterpreted, saying he had only ever called Trump "flamboyant," Reuters reported.
"He is, isn't he?" Putin said Friday, smiling and prompting applause from the audience. "I did not give any other assessment of him."
I suppose Trump will have to tweet something tonight about what a loser Putin is. That'll show him.

Gravity is Jennifer Holm's second EP, telling stories about real-life experiences through memorable melodies and compelling lyrics.
185 backers pledged $12,541 to help bring this project to life.
Since I was 17 (I won't tell you how long ago that was), I have had the honor of singing for other artists, both live and in the studio. Singing on other people's projects is a great joy for me. I love it. But I'm way overdue in pursuing music for myself.
Songwriting is just as much a part of me as my dark hair or blood type. I have catalogs of writing notebooks spanning decades (this may defeat the purpose of not telling you how long ago 17 was...) and I have only released one EP. Until now.
Gravity is a collection of songs that are raw and real-life. I don't know about you, but I can't relate to songs about partying all night and bottle service. Part of the beauty in any art form is what it evokes in the partaker and how they can relate to it. That is what this project is about. More than anything, though, it's an opportunity for me to focus some attention on this part of who I am, to give it a go at being an artist. I've had opportunities to pursue my music but I don't think I was truly ready for what that means until now.
I have the great privilege of working with Kenny Davis: producer/engineer/musician/songwriter extraordinaire on this project. He's uber talented and is helping me bring this long-awaited project to life.
We have begun the production and recording process and all we need to complete it is money. I know that asking for money is a pretty bold thing, but I'm taking a risk and doing it anyway. I'm so pumped about this already and can't wait to share it with you. It's going to be SO GOOD.
THANK YOU for your support, your interest, for making it this far into this description. Keep checking in here (the Updates tab specifically), follow me on all the social medias, and let's get this album made!
As with any creative process, challenges do arise!
Our biggest challenge will be in sticking to the timeline set in place. With outside vendors (mixing and mastering engineers, for example), we can only set the deadline and hope they will stick to it.
The greatest risk this project faces is not getting the funding for this project. Without the Kickstarter funding, the album cannot be released until the funds are made/saved to accomplish one task at a time. This could take six months, it could take two years.
You are such a good friend! Your contribution reward is an early-release album download!
This backer tier gets you a early release digital download for you and one for a friend!, a physical copy (after release date), and handwritten thank you note.
This backer tier gets you an early-release digital album download, a physical CD, handwritten thank-you note plus a super cool, up-cycled guitar string necklace.
This reward level gets you the music, a handwritten thank you note, one handwritten lyric sheet, and live acoustic version of song(s) from the album.
**Note: the quantity of acoustic songs is dependent on funding.
You are now in the inner-circle! This reward level gets you the music, a handwritten thank you note, one handwritten lyric sheet, live acoustic version of song(s) from the album, and an exclusive in-studio acoustic video.
Help me exceed the goal so I can add more songs + shoot a fancy video.
A listening party is a private event where we will sit and listen to the completed album in its entirety and I can share stories about the songs. Party will be held in Denton County.
AH! FAMILIA! You're stuck with me now. This reward level gets you the music, a handwritten thank you note, one handwritten lyric sheet, live acoustic version of song(s) from the album, an exclusive in-studio acoustic video, one unreleased original song download, and a mention on my website.
You are my all-time favorite. This reward level gets you everything mentioned at the last tier plus a coffee table book of the recording process and a mention in the album credits.
You are amazing and now have a piece of my heart. This reward level gets you everything mentioned in the last tier plus a private house show for you and your closest friends.
**Note: house show is limited to certain areas in CA, TN, TX, GA.

March Film "Mini-Fest" Roundup: Juggernaut in Review; Looking Ahead to Peace on Earth and DOC10
http://www.chicagonow.com/windy-city-cinema/2017/03/march-film-mini-fest-roundup-juggernaut-in-review-looking-ahead-to-peace-on-earth-and-doc10/
Joel Wicklund | March 7, 2017
On the city's busy film festival calendar, March is pretty much owned by the massive Chicago European Union Film Festival, running throughout the month at the Gene Siskel Film Center. (You can read my star-focused preview for that event over at Chicagoist.) But there are some smaller specialty fests that also help make it an interesting month for cinephiles.
Saturday, March 4 at the Music Box, I attended the Juggernaut Sci-Fi/Fantasy Short Film Festival for the first time in its five-year history. Advance screenings of the films shown weren't available for review, but I was able to catch three of the four blocks of programming during the 11 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. schedule. The festival is organized by Otherworld Theatre, a local sci-fi/fantasy stage production company.
Based on my sampling, and not knowing what previous years' lineups were like, I would say Juggernaut has a bit of a split identity. Some works screened were professionally mounted and artistically distinctive, while others seemed more like cosplay fan films suited for YouTube exposure at best.
Still, warts and all, it's nice to have another big screen showcase for short films. And while there were entries that seemed like Comic Con hobbyists at play, there were also a few really fine films. I was particularly impressed by David Gaddie's Beautiful Dreamer, which kind of uses the parent-child time travel dynamic of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar to more succinct and emotional effect, and Tristan Ofield's White Lily, which uses the familiar device of human and synthetic passengers isolated in space to explore ideas of memory and identity. Also memorable were Kübler-Ross, a blunt parable on the boundaries of compassion (played out as plague horror) from Spain's Xavier Pijuan, and Kyle Higgins' The Shadow Hours, a sleek noir spin on the evil twin trope.
If Juggernaut's programmers can become a little more selective, weeding out purely "fan boy" (or girl) exercises from the more accomplished selections, it has the potential to be a vital ongoing genre film fest.
Issues are prioritized over aesthetics at the Peace on Earth Film Festival, which holds its 2017 edition this weekend (March 10-12, also at the Music Box). That's not meant to be a slam. At a time when journalism is under attack from the White House and its defenders, a spotlight on filmmakers digging deep into human rights, underreported geopolitical topics, environmental subjects and other social matters is more than welcome.
My samplings of the POEFF schedule are too limited to give a fair assessment of the lineup, but I think it's fair to say the programming aims to spark dialogue on civic action more than artistic appraisal. The festival's stated mission is "raising awareness of peace, nonviolence, social justice and an eco-balanced world."
Documentary works dominate POEFF, though there are several narrative shorts and two narrative features, including a revival of writer-director John Hancock's 1987 prison drama Weeds, starring Nick Nolte. (Hancock is a trustee with the festival's parent company, Transcendence Global Media.)
Many filmmakers and subjects will attend POEFF, which includes panel discussions and student film programming blocks. Single tickets are just $7 (cheaper than the Music Box's usual full-price admission) and a festival pass is $75 (with discounts for seniors, students and attendees with Music Box memberships). More details here.
Presented by the Chicago Media Project, the DOC10 Festival made an auspicious debut last year, with a superb schedule of documentaries that included works from giants in the field like Werner Herzog, Albert Maysles and Barbara Kopple, as well as discoveries like the moving and unsettling Missing People.
This year's second edition (March 30–April 2) may lack name-value directors, but if the programming comes close to the quality of its inaugural year, non-fiction film devotees would be well advised to check it out.
Among the potential highlights is Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary, a portrait of the jazz giant from the director of Who Is Harry Nilsson? As someone who is a bit of a sucker for movie nostalgia, I'm also anxious to catch The Cinema Travelers, a look at the declining occupation of traveling film projectionists who have brought movies to rural Indian communities for decades, showing them in tents serving as makeshift theaters.
Except for an opening night benefit showing of Sweet Dillard at the Music Box, DOC10 moves this year from the city's most revered theater to the recently remodeled Davis Theater in Lincoln Square. The full schedule and ticket and festival pass information are available here.

(Reuters) - U.S. business software provider Freshworks on Tuesday said it raised $100 million from investors led by Sequoia and Accel Partners, giving it a valuation of $1.5 billion and unicorn status.
The latest funding round took the startup's total capital raised to date to $250 million, Girish Mathrubootham, its co-founder said.
The company, which counts Toshiba and Cisco among its over 150,000 clients, also appointed AppDynamics executive Suresh Seshadri as its chief financial officer. AppDynamics was bought by Cisco for $3.7 billion last year after it filed to go public.
California-based Freshworks competes with Salesforce.com Inc, Servicenow Inc and Atlassian Corp Plc, in offering customer relationship management and analytics software.

Q: hsts preload without being listed? What is the effect of the preload directive if it is included before the site is listed?
I'm hoping it just has no effect but I'm struggling to find any solid info and I'm nervous of it leading to problems.

A: It has no other effect to the browser other than to make it eligible to be included in the preload list.
Sites MUST include this directive before submitting it for inclusion in the preload list as this is checked to avoid accidental preloading. But once it's on there then browsers may pick it up (even if you don't explicitly submit it).
Do be sure you 100% definitely want to include your site in HSTS preloading. Many, many sites have done this without thinking it through completely and then had to request removal and wait months for this to happen, either because they didn't fully understand the consequences or they need HTTP-only sites on that domain. Preloading is basically irreversible and you are right to be nervous. To be honest I'm of the opinion that it's overkill for most sites, but others may disagree.

Henry Khunrath Pancoast (February 26, 1875 – May 20, 1939) was an American radiologist. He identified contrast media for use in radiology studies, and served prominent roles in early radiological professional organizations. Pancoast tumours, which are a type of lung tumour, are named after him.

Pancoast was born in Philadelphia to prominent Quaker parents; his father, Seth Pancoast, was also a doctor. He was educated at the (Society of) Friends Central High School and went on to the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Medical School, graduating in 1898.

Professional life

His first medical job was at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), starting surgical training there in 1900. When the hospital's first chief skiagrapher (radiologist), Charles Lester Leonard, retired, Pancoast succeeded him and served as the chairman of the department from 1902 to 1939. In 1911, he was also appointed professor of radiology (roentgenology), the first in the United States. Following his retirement, Pancoast was succeeded by Eugene P. Pendergrass.

In his work at Penn, Pancoast developed the use of bismuth and barium as contrast media to better differentiate certain anatomy in x-ray images. He also recognized and described the effect of prolonged radiation on the development of leukemia. In his tenure at Penn, he also pioneered the use of radiation to treat leukemia and Hodgkin's disease, though he is perhaps best known for his identification and description of a particular lung tumor that now bears his name— Pancoast's tumor.

In addition to his hospital and academic work, Pancoast was active in outside professional organizations. He served as founding president of the American Board of Radiology, and in 1933 was also president of the first American Congress of Radiology, which met in Chicago in September of that year, coincident with the Chicago World's Fair.

He also traveled to numerous gatherings of medical faculty and staff, to describe the use and value of diagnostic x-rays and to explain irradiation procedures to treat malignancies.

Personal life

Pancoast married Clara Louise Boggs, of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1903.

Henry Pancoast died in Merion, Pennsylvania in 1939.

Please know before I begin to explain how to write your own spell that I fully believe that using other spells that people write is fine and many of them can be trusted. However, there are just times when using your own personal spell is the best thing to do. Writing your own spell might sound complicated but it's actually simple.
What are you trying to accomplish with your spell? Figure out the intent or the goals that you have. Do you want a raise at work? Do you want a lover in your life? Whatever it is that you want always be clear with it and be confident that you will get whatever type of spell you are doing.
A lot of spells require you to use certain candles and other spells might not so it is important to figure out what type of materials you need to have ahead of time. Research magical ingredients and materials to see what materials might be the best for you to use. Sometimes you might need to use your imagination if you are unable to find what it is that you need. You might even consider using hardware, movies and even toys to help you with your spell. Other times you might also need to oils and essence.
You will also need to review as to what time you need to do the spell. There are some spells to where the timing of it is vital and if you make a mistake with the timing then things could go wrong for you. You can do destructive or negative magic in the waning phase but if you want something positive then you should do that during the waxing moon. Study the moons and know what type of moon phase will work best with your spell.
Most spells require verbalization or some sort of chant. Usually it requires calling upon the Gods and asking for their assistance. Figure out what you need to say ahead of time. Sometimes the chants turn out to be very poetic.
Put all of these steps together in a form that is workable. Review it closely and see if everything flows together. Make changes accordingly and keep an open mind about the spell you're working on until you are satisfied with it. Write down your spells and your progress in the Book of Shadows you have in order to help you with keeping up with it.
Once you have completed the spell and cast it then you must wait. If you don't see some sort of manifestation take place within 28 days which is a full lunar month then you might need to revisit the spell and see if things need to be changed or recast it.


Your data might not be secure, which leaves the door open to a cyberattack that could damage your reputation irreparably.
You aren't confident that your staff knows how to avoid phishing scams, respond in the event of a breach, or generally keep your member data secure.
Your policies for setting passwords, using mobile devices, off-boarding staff, and backing up your member data are loosely enforced or nonexistent.
You've read enough headlines to know that you're at risk of a cyberattack, but you don't know what steps you need to take, and which would be overkill.
In some cases, organizations know they could probably be more secure, but they aren't handling too much sensitive information, and are pretty sure they could weather the storm in the event of a breach.
Many associations appreciate the scalability and expertise that they get from an outsourced firm that can pull on their team's collective knowledge to implement the safeguards and response measures that make the most sense for your organization.
If securing member data is absolutely critical to the success of your mission, you might consider hiring someone who spends all day every day checking and advancing your security. This can be insourced or outsourced to a cybersecurity firm, and will be in addition to your IT management investment.

Netanyahu trial clouds last days of Israel election campaign
by: JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) — The criminal trial for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will begin March 17, court officials announced Tuesday, shaking up the final stretch of a contentious election campaign and hurting the longtime Israeli leader's hopes of forming a new government after the vote.
The announcement means that Netanyahu will appear in the Jerusalem court as a defendant just two weeks after the March 2 election. After a campaign in which Netanyahu has worked feverishly to divert attention from his legal woes, the final days of the race are almost certain to play into the hands of his opponents by focusing on the looming trial.
Netanyahu was indicted in November on charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in connection to a series of scandals. He is accused of accepting lavish gifts from billionaire friends and offering regulatory favors to local media moguls in exchange for positive news coverage. Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister, has denied any wrongdoing.
In a brief statement, the court said Netanyahu is expected to attend the initial hearing.
The March 2 election is Israel's third in under a year. Like the previous elections in April and September, the upcoming vote is seen largely as a personal referendum on Netanyahu.
The previous elections ended in deadlock, with both Netanyahu's Likud Party and the rival Blue and White, led by former military chief Benny Gantz, unable to secure parliamentary majorities. Opinion polls have predicted a similar outcome in the third.
Gantz said it was a "sad" development that would prevent Netanyahu from focusing on his duties as prime minister.
"Netanyahu will be preoccupied with himself alone. He will not be in a position to look out for the interests of Israel's citizens," he said.
Netanyahu responded to Gantz's remarks by criticizing him without directly addressing the trial.
Netanyahu is desperate to remain as prime minister, a position he can use as a bully pulpit to rally public support. He has repeatedly sought to portray himself as the victim of a witch hunt by overzealous police, hostile prosecutors and the media.
With the exception of the prime minister, Israeli law requires public officials to resign if charged with a crime. That means that if Netanyahu is forced to give up his position, he would go on trial as a private citizen. Netanyahu last month gave up an attempt to seek immunity from prosecution after concluding he did not have enough support in parliament.
Throughout the current campaign, Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to make voters forget about his trial. Instead, he has sought to painted himself as a global statesman uniquely qualified to lead the country through tumultuous times.
He boasts of Israel's emergence as a natural gas exporter, his strategy of confronting archenemy Iran and warming behind-the-scenes alliances with former Arab foes in the Persian Gulf.
But more than anything, he points to his close friendship with President Donald Trump, bragging that it gives Israel a unique opportunity to push its international agenda. Just three weeks ago, Netanyahu was welcomed at the White House for a festive event unveiling Trump's long-awaited Mideast plan. The plan greatly favored Israel at the expense of the Palestinians.
Netanyahu then jetted off to Moscow, where he leveraged his good relations with President Vladimir Putin to win the release of a young Israeli woman who had been jailed on minor drug charges. In recent days, he has turned inward, promising young Israelis that he will lower the high cost of living and assuring voters the country is prepared for the coronavirus scare.
Gantz, meanwhile, has focused his campaign almost entirely on Netanyahu's legal troubles and questioning his fitness to serve.
Yohanan Plesner, president of the Israel Democracy Institute, a Jerusalem think tank, said it is difficult to predict how thescheduling of the trialwill impact the election.
Although the country has long known Netanyahu would go on trial, the setting of the date draws new attention to his legal troubles and makes it the central issue of the final stretch.
"The more the discussion is about Netanyahu as a defendant rather than Netanyahu as a statesman obviously it does not work in Netanyahu's favor," he said.
The bigger impact of Tuesday's announcement could come after the election.
Under Israel's parliamentary system, the prime minister must form a majority coalition with smaller allied parties in order to rule. Opinion polls are once again predicting that both Gantz's Blue and White and Netanyahu's Likud will emerge as the largest parties, but still short of securing the necessary parliamentary majority with their partners.
Together, the two parties could control a majority of seats and form a unity government. Gantz has repeatedly said he is open to a power-sharing agreement with Likud, but not under Netanyahu's leadership when he is facing serious criminal charges. The odds of Gantz compromising are even lower now that the trial is imminent.
Other parties, and perhaps even members of the Likud, may also be reluctant to line up behind a prime minister on trial.
That could turn attention to President Reuven Rivlin, who is responsible for choosing a prime minister-designate after the election.
The president typically holds several days of consultations after the election before choosing the head of the party who he believes has the best chances of forming a coalition. The designated prime minister is then given up to six weeks to negotiate a coalition deal with his partners, meaning Netanyahu's trial will begin in the middle of this sensitive period.
After the last two elections, Rivlin gave Netanyahu the first crack at forming a government, and in September, he floated a power-sharing proposal in which Netanyahu and Gantz would rotate as prime ministers, with Netanyahu serving first.
Unless Likud defies the polls and scores an overwhelming victory, it will be difficult to tap Netanyahu as the prime minister-designate days before he goes on trial, Plesner said.
"The president's roadmap for how to form a coalition no doubt will now dictate that Gantz would be first, rather than Netanyahu," he said.

While many have assumed for over a decade that faxing would be phased out by newer technologies, several institutions such as the government still require fax technology for many important document transmissions. There are several reasons why fax is sometimes the most suitable technology for government processes.
Fax transmissions are still more secure than the most readily available alternative – email. Faxes are sent directly from one end to the other in direct correspondence; there is little chance that a hacker can intercept information from a fax unless he was specifically targeting it. In contrast, emails are much easier to intercept as they are not even encrypted when sent.
The nature of fax is that it arrives immediately and only arrives, once. Emails and their attachments will stay in an inbox forever unless they are deleted. More time available means that it's easier for a hacker to gain access to the document. The security of fax is of upmost importance to the government, which frequently handles sensitive, confidential information.
In addition to security, faxes are both official and authentic. They are official because faxed documents carry both a time and date stamp, a characteristic which emails do not have on the document itself. They are authentic because faxes can be signed before sending, which verifies the identity of the party involved. With emails there is no way to verify the identity of the sender, all someone needs in order to impersonate you is your password. Because of the official nature and authenticity of faxes, they can be used as evidence of intent in court.
The government handles a lot of paperwork and people complain that processes take too long as it is. If these institutions allowed documents to be sent over email it would add an extra dimension of uncertain validity to the paperwork. Doing so could delay processes even longer. This is obviously not an optimal solution.
Finally, a common theme in regards to government institutions is how long it takes for even small changes to occur. With fax transmission being ingrained in their processes for decades now, the familiarity of this system lends to its persistence. Since fax has always been reliable, why change now? This might not be foolproof reasoning, but the implication stays the same: most government offices will continue to use fax in the foreseeable future.

Q: Google assistant and node-red setup Am a complete beginner in node-red and Java. I have been trying to follow the guide in this page to get Google action to connect to node red so that I can use it to control my devices as part of a school project. I am willing to learn.
Link: node red Google action
I've tried a lot over the past few days and learned the basics of express Web servers, ngrok, self encrypting node red and stuff but am still unable to establish the connection between node-red and Google action. Whenever I try to do so it just says that "test server is not responding, please try again later".
I've tried a lot but I'm sure I am still missing out some key things here. The first one is in the Google action input node, under port, url, ssl key and certificate I am unsure as to how I'm supposed to fill the values.
Second is I managed to have a Web server up and running through ngrok encrypted tunnel but I am not sure how I'm suppose to use it. (the Web server is just a blank https html page, or am I supposed to have something more?)
Am going to try assigning a domain name from noip to my Web server, encrypting it and port forward to 443. Do you think that's necessary and better?

I would like to remind the writers that they descend from a long line of successful hunters. For centuries, the human race has survived and evolved via survival of the fittest. Part of that was the successful hunter/gatherers who sustained their families with a full diet, which included meat.
If you look at the history of mankind's food choices, you will never see in history books that "so-and-so's family came from a long line of vegetarians." Our ancestors were super-predators, with meat eating being highly prized and used as a key survival strategy.
Some cultures even had celebrations surrounding hunting parties, with days or even weeks-long preparations. Some of us still do today.
Yes, 21st century descendants now have access to more choices and can successfully live a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. The modern pleasures of a grilled steak may well be trumped by the health and environmental benefits of going vegan – and if the animals got a vote, they'd agree. But saying no to meat today does not mean that your genes and your history don't continue to give it a loud Yes.
Those of us who choose to follow that genetic, cultural and evolutionary call, should not be belittled or berated for such choices. You cannot shove your anti-meat agenda down a carnivore's throat with any more success than Trump could have convincing people he isn't racist.
We now have a more open, free society with freedom of choice like we've never had before. And most cultures and their populations choose to continue to eat meat.
Where does one draw the line between a cow and a dog? Some cultures/countries don't.
The line seems to be drawn at the point where society feels an animal is domestic (to live in your home as a beloved pet) or a resource. And that has been defined through history for each culture.
Please take a moment to thank your ancestors before bed for being successful hunters – without them you may not be here!

Medicines regulation and law
Less than half of UK pharmacies will be ready for FMD
The Pharmaceutical Journal1 FEB 2019By Corrinne Burns
Corrinne Burns
Corrinne Burns is our Royal Pharmaceutical Society Correspondent
Exclusive: According to SecurMed, "less than half" of UK pharmacies will be registered by the Falsified Medicines Directive deadline of 9 February 2019.

Less than half of UK pharmacies will be registered with SecurMed by the Falsified Medicines Directive deadline of 9 February 2019
More than 50% of pharmacies in the UK are not expected to meet the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) deadline, the body running the system in the UK has said.
Jerome Bertin, general manager of SecurMed, told The Pharmaceutical Journal that current information on registrations to the UK National Medicines Verification System, which will hold the data from FMD-compliant medicine packs, indicated that "less than half" of UK pharmacies would have registered, and had their credentials issued, by the deadline of 9 February 2019.
Under the Europe-wide directive, UK pharmacies are required to register with SecurMed and have the hardware in place to scan the 2D barcode that must feature on all new packs of prescription medicine sold in Europe.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will be responsible for enforcing FMD compliance, which could include criminal prosecution for serious and persistent breaches.
A spokesperson for the MHRA said: "We appreciate the uncertainty facing organisations due to Brexit and have worked closely with a wide range of stakeholders, including community pharmacy, to support this stakeholder-led implementation model. We have been working closely with the UK FMD working group for community pharmacy, who have published information and guidance for pharmacy contractors."
They added that the MHRA and other regulators would "take a pragmatic approach, working with stakeholders to help them achieve compliance".
Claire Bryce Smith, director for insight, intelligence and inspections at the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which will monitor pharmacies' FMD compliance during its routine inspections, said that "in our discussions with pharmacy owners and pharmacy teams we have said that we do not see the implementation date of 9 February [2019] as being a 'cliff edge'.
"If, during an inspection in the following months, we identified a pharmacy that was not meeting all of the requirements relating to FMD, we would be looking to understand the reasons why and seeking evidence that there was a clear plan in place."
Gino Martini, chief scientist at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS), said the current lack of take-up "is likely to be a Brexit effect: people are waiting to see what happens".
"As we get more clarity about the form of our departure from the EU, uptake should increase," he added.
In the meantime, Martini advised pharmacists seeking more information on FMD to refer to the RPS's FMD hub.
On 29 January 2019, the UK FMD Working Group for Community Pharmacy said it was "confident that the regulators will take a pragmatic and even-handed approach to enforcement" of FMD, but advised pharmacists that they must make an effort to be compliant by 9 February 2019.
In the event of no-deal Brexit, the UK will be unable to access the European Medicines Verification System — the EU-wide data hub at the centre of FMD — and, therefore will not be able to verify and authenticate medicines.
The MHRA has said that in this case, "the legal obligation related to this would be removed for actors in the UK supply chain" but that it will "evaluate the options for a future UK falsified medicines regulatory framework, taking into account investment already made by stakeholders".
The British Medical Association (BMA) has said the UK is "relatively well-placed" for FMD compliance compared with the rest of Europe.
In its January 2019 member update, the BMA told doctors that Italy has dispensation to introduce the scheme more slowly; Spain is showing red on the dashboard for implementation; and in France "there is a dispute between the government and pharmacies, so nobody is currently registered".

Minnesota Lynx Inch Closer To WNBA Title Contention With Free Agency Acquisitions

The Minnesota Lynx, the franchise with the most titles in WNBA history, this week sneakily retooled its roster with high-level young talent at positions of need, bringing closer to competing for a championship once again in 2021.
New additions Kayla McBride and Aerial Powers have the chance to bolster the Lynx's depth and star power while also putting their star, Napheesa Collier, in position to become the championship-caliber nightly No. 1 option she has the chance to be.
The moves were first reported by WSLAM and The Next, respectively, amid another flurry of player movement resulting in large part from the WNBA's new collective bargaining agreement.
With only about half its salary sheet spent, Minnesota entered 2021 free agency with a strong chance to improve its roster. After finishing the season as the second-best offense in the league but losing in the semifinals to Seattle, the Lynx targeted what they did not have: wings. During another season without former MVP Maya Moore and after injuries to Shenise Johnson and Karima Christmas-Kelly, the team was forced to rely on less experienced players like Bridget Carleton and Kiki Herbert-Harrigan.
In their place in 2021, McBride and Powers will be the best two wings Collier has ever played with. Both are in their primes, can shoot the ball, and bring the smart play-making and defensive ability that head coach and general manager Cheryl Reeve demands of all her players.

They each will be able to unlock Minnesota's offense, which largely runs through dribble handoffs from its bigs at the elbow and off-ball movement, in different ways. During their most recent seasons, McBride and Powers both were in the 75th percentile or higher in spot-up situations (per Synergy Sports), which they should see a lot of due to the attention Collier and All-Star point guard Odyssey Sims get in Minnesota. Both new acquisitions also are less efficient in the pick and roll, making the Lynx, which runs pick and roll mostly as an offshoot of its initial elbow action, a snug fit that will not force the signees to do too much.
Most importantly, both All-Star wings add to the Lynx's two biggest strengths. In a league based on space and versatility, Minnesota had the third-highest three-point percentage in the league last season, while both new acquisitions shot at least 36 percent in their last full season (Powers missed most of 2020 with a strained hamstring). Moreover, they are each 5-9 or taller, and should be able to check players up and down opposing lineups.
In addition to the signing of backup big Natalie Achonwa, the roster brings Minnesota closer to the type of unit that succeeded last decade, winning four championships led by Moore and Reeve. Those teams had size at every position, a balanced offense, a dominant defense, and a star player around which they orbited. Sure, a four-time championship roster is a high bar the 2021 team won't clear, but 2016 WNBA MVP Sylvia Fowles is still the anchor down low, and she will be flanked by Sims, Powers, McBride and Collier, plus a bench with the likes of Achonwa and Damiris Dantas that can mirror the strengths of the first group.
Aside from inconsistent defense once Fowles was sidelined with a calf injury (which should be aided by Achonwa's presence as her backup), where the Lynx fell short in the playoffs was finding ways to consistently create great offense, and often could not even get the ball into Collier's hands. That and Sims' delayed entry to the Florida Bubble left Minnesota less than the sum of its parts come the postseason. By adding McBride and Powers, the team now should be able to spread the floor for Collier without sacrificing defense or ball-handling.
It's not hard to imagine a two-player game with Collier and Powers with both able to attack mismatches, or intricate off-ball screen actions to free up McBride behind the line. And because both players were signees, the Lynx gave up nothing to get them, meaning the do-it-all big Achonwa, scoring forward Dantas and 2020 Rookie of the Year Crystal Dangerfield become merely bench weapons rather than needed contributors.
Of course, until Collier proves she is a premiere and consistent superstar in the WNBA, Minnesota remains a tier below the top championship contenders. But that all changes if Moore, who last played in 2018 and has since been working for prison reform, returns. At age 31, the 2014 MVP is still in her prime and is among the best scorers and winners in basketball history.
Will this roster, newly improved and ripe for a leader, coax Moore back to the hardwood? After focusing on the case of a man named Jonathan Irons for most of her time away from the game, Moore helped overturn his wrongful conviction and free him from prison last year. She and Irons married last September and while it would be difficult physical adjustment to return to the court, Moore has maintained throughout her absence that she continued to work out and stay in shape.
At the same time, Seattle still has the best player in the league in Breanna Stewart, Washington has yet to debut Tina Charles in a Mystics uniform or officially defend their 2019 title, and last year's runners up, the Aces, will stay in the picture. The WNBA is ludicrously deep and it's hard to crack the elite of the elite without a player like Moore. That doesn't mean the Lynx shouldn't try, or that they didn't do the best with what they had.
This week's moves heighten Minnesota's ceiling and should make them a better playoff team, but as things stand, they remain a few hard-to-predict steps away from championship status.

The Challenge of Bridging IR and Area Studies in Middle East International Relations Teaching
1 comment | 16 shares
by May Darwich
This memo was presented at a workshop in Rabat on 'The Ethics of Political Science Research and Teaching in MENA', organised by the LSE Middle East Centre and King Mohammed V University in Rabat on 9-11 June 2015.
In the past decades, many scholars pointed to an intellectual gulf between Middle East studies and mainstream international and comparative political studies. This perceived gap was often attributed to two main reasons. First, Middle East scholars were often accused of focusing on descriptive analyses without rigorous theoretical focus. Many scholars long treated the Middle East as too exceptional to be theory-relevant. This a-theoretical position has impeded Middle East scholars from offering theoretical insights, which might have contributed to theory building beyond the region. The second reason was the refrain of social scientists from using the Middle East in theory development, as scholars focused on developing universal abstract approaches. The past years indicate that much effort has been undertaken to bridge this schism. Recent scholarship on the Middle East is characterised by serious attempts to combine in-depth empirical analyses, on the one hand, with theoretical insights in the political science literature, on the other. This trend is particularly more prominent in comparative politics than in international relations.
In the field of IR, the efforts of bringing together IR theory and Middle East studies have also made some progress. It is not true that the Middle East is totally absent from IR scholarship. Two seminal works remain representative of the benefits of combining theory and the historical development of the region: Stephen Walt's The Origins of Alliances and Michael Barnett's Dialogue in Arab Politics. Another recent book is Mark Haas' The Clash of Ideologies, where the Middle East provided a useful pool to test his theoretical insights on the role of ideology in enmity and conflict. Moreover, other important works on Middle Eastern foreign policies benefited from applying and adapting theoretical frameworks from IR scholarship. The works of Ray Hinnebusch and Fred Halliday have also succeeded in utilising the Middle East in IR theory development. Although scholars nowadays tend to pay more attention to this problem in their research, the pedagogy of the region lacks efforts to bring the Middle East and IR scholarship into a closer dialogue. The task of bridging IR theory and the Middle East currently does fall solely on scholars producing articles and books; it is necessary to also integrate it into pedagogy.
The Middle East is still presented to students as a region that defies existing theoretical arguments and approaches. This dichotomy in teaching Middle East international relations can be underscored in course design (syllabi) and textbooks. A quick survey of syllabi of courses on international relations in the Middle East shows that IR theories and approaches are not fully integrated into the analysis of the region. The structure of the courses is far from broken down following IR models and approaches. This does not mean that courses should follow a rigid pattern. Nevertheless, structuring a course based on approaches and paradigms followed by their application to the Middle East is necessary for an in-depth understanding of both. In fact, structuring courses in a way combining the existing debate within theoretical scholarship and empirical questions is likely to generate new questions and puzzles necessary for students, but also for scholars. Perhaps, it might be worth to simply teach students how IR theories work in the case of the Middle East. This entails teaching how IR theories can explain specific events or conditions in the region based on particular research questions rather than focusing on historical developments. If a particular theoretical approach does not fit, then having students debate the advantages and drawbacks of the theory will certainly enhance their understanding of both IR theory and the region. In other words, IR theory application to the Middle East does not have to be a rigid mould. Instead, this structure will enable students to develop critical thinking and comparative skills.
The problem of the course structure is rendered more visible in the readings presented in course syllabi. Most courses seem to integrate a reading or two on IR theory, but most of those remain focused on historical and descriptive developments in the region. Although descriptive and primary analyses are necessary elements to build a base knowledge for students, theoretical as well as methodological literature remain only marginal. In short, the design of the courses highlights the international relations of the Middle East rather than the International Relations of the region (as a field of study).
The problem of bridging IR and the Middle East in pedagogy is also obvious in textbooks. One can look at what has become the standard textbook International Relations of the Middle East, edited by Louise Fawcett. It is a valuable book, covering a wide range of issues critical to understanding the international relations of the Middle East today. Yet, without meaning to devalue the insightful effort in this book, it also representative of the problem of bridging IR and the Middle East in pedagogy. The book is not organised according to IR theories or paradigms. Although many chapters have incorporated some IR theories, there is a lack of an overall theoretical framework in the book to reflect the disciplinary debates.
The general tendency in teaching the region has been listing IR theories and then arguing that these approaches are inadequate in explaining the international relations of the region. Although dichotomous positions between Middle East specialists focusing on empirical analyses and social scientists concerned with abstract generalisations have lessened in research and publications, there is still need to make similar efforts in the pedagogy of the international relations of the region.
May Darwich is a PhD candidate in Politics and International Relations at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh. She is also Research Fellow at the GIGA Institute of Middle East Studies.

Malaga, Spain was the port we docked in on April 18,2015. Today we traveled to the hill town of Mijas, about an hour down the coast and in land a bit. Mijas is a typical Andalusian white building town with prehistoric roots. The main attraction is the Donkey Taxis, which take tourists up and down the narrow streets. Another attraction is the Chapel of the Rock, a small chapel carved into a rock. Being on the hillside there are great vistas of the Mediterranean. We wandered up the narrow streets to the Town Square, where we did a little shopping and people watching.

This Week Around the World
Marena Riggan
May 27–June 3 Germany: Around 20,000 anti-far right protesters descended upon Berlin to counter a protest conducted by the far-right group Alternative for Germany (AFD), which numbered only around 5,000. AFD is known for being Islamophobic, anti-immigration and anti-European Union. At least 13 anti-AFD protests were registered with the city, including a techno music party called "Bass the AFD Away."
On Wednesday, May 30, a knife attack on a train traveling in northern Germany has left one seriously injured and a police officer injured from confronting the attacker. The officer shot her weapon, most likely killing the assailant; however, this has yet to be confirmed. On June 3, the area around the Berlin Cathedral was put in lockdown after a knifeman went on a rampage with around 100 people inside. The knifeman was shot by police in the leg, and another officer was shot by a stray bullet. No other injuries were reported.
May 27 India: The External Affairs Minister of India Sushma Swaraj addressed the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal during a press conference, stating, "Our foreign policy is not made under pressure from other countries." India will not accept U.S. sanctions for continuing to conduct business with Iran, which is a major source of oil for the country. Swaraj also met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif following the press conference.
May 27 South China Sea: Two United States military vessels sailed within 12 nautical miles of a string of islands China has claimed as its territory. According to anonymous U.S. officials, the Higgins guided-missile destroyer and the Antietam guided-missile cruiser were carrying out maneuvering operations, while China's defense ministry stated the operations "seriously infringed upon Chinese sovereignty".
May 27–June 1 Spain: Spanish officials rescued over 500 migrants from the Mediterranean Sea by the afternoon of May 27. Migrants from North and Sub-Sarahan Africa were attempting to cross the Strait of Gibraltar aboard 17 small boats—three of which sank—when they were rescued following plane and helicopter searches of the area.
The Spanish parliament voted in a no-confidence vote to depose Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. All 180 legislators voted in an absolute majority for his removal due to a scandal involving Rajoy's center-right People's Party. The scandal, known as Operación Gürtel and ongoing since 2009, alleges parallel accounts within the party were used for illegal financing and non-transparent donations.
May 29 Puerto Rico: A Harvard study released in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated 4,645 died during Hurricane Maria last year, which directly contradicts the official numbers estimating only 64 died during and immediately following the devastation.
May 29 Hungary: A bill has been proposed in Hungary's parliament that would criminalize anyone or any group assisting undocumented migrants in their efforts to gain legal status in the country.

June 1 U.S.: According to NPR, protesters gathered in over two dozen cities, including New York, Atlanta, Santa Monica and Miami to bring attention to the more than 600 children immigration officials took from parents crossing the border illegally last month. The Trump administration enacted the policy to deter undocumented immigrants, and the Justice Department said the rule is necessary because children cannot go to jail with their parents while they face misdemeanor charges for migrating illegally. Instead, children are being placed in shelters run by the Department of Health and Human Services.
June 1 Italy: Giuseppe Conte was sworn in as Italy's new prime minister, which marks the end of the a three-month political deadlock and the beginning of new, uncertain territory for Italian political leadership. Conte will head a coalition of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement—which wants to implement a universal basic income for all citizens—and the far-right League, which wants to expel hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants.
When I first came to PSU, I was a Chinese major, having studied three years prior in high school alongside French and Japanese. After the first year, I took a hiatus. I don't believe in going to college straight out of high school, but it's what was expected. I returned a few years later to study Japanese at PCC and Arabic at PSU. I am now a junior majoring in International Studies: Middle East and Arabic. In the future, I would like to work as a journalist or humanitarian aid worker in the region, helping people who lack economic and political backing and media exposure.

The Art of Translation
Originally from the South West of Australia, Sally Wals spent most of her 20s living in Japan after moving to Perth for her studies at university. Living in many different places around Japan, including a year in the tropics and a lot of time in the snow, Sally gained great knowledge of the Japanese culture and language.
Speaking about her passion for languages, Sally says "I was always drawn the complexity of language and the art versus science of reconstructing meaning. I really wanted to be able to utilise my Japanese language skills without having to teach it."
With this in mind, Sally obtained a NAATI accreditation and started her journey into the world of translation. With now 7 years of experience behind her, Sally is one of LanguageLoop's highly valued Japanese translators.
"It's like lifting a curtain on another world. I love the act of revealing something hidden," Sally says about the art of translation.
Sally has collaborated with LanguageLoop on many interesting projects including recently the translation of subtitles for a Japanese documentary for the Office of the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council. The documentary detailed efforts by the Ainu people in Japan to have their ancestors remains held at universities in Japan returned to their families.
The documentary brought to light the recognition the Ainu people seek as Indigenous Japanese people, and made parallels to the National Apology made to Indigenous Australians by Kevin Rudd in 2008.
"This was a fascinating and hope-inspiring project to work on," Sally said.
"I hope that the story about the repatriation of remains for the Ainu and Aboriginal people has spread awareness about human rights and respect to First Nations people."
LanguageLoop's National Translations Manager, Claire Mullins, saida translation project such as this one needs a translator with in-depth cultural knowledge of the source and target language countries.
"Sally is a great example of the calibre of translators we work with who have both the cultural knowledge and language skills to deal with a topic like this in such a skilled way. At LanguageLoop, we select our translators based on the knowledge, skills and attributes needed for each project." Ms Mullins said.
Sally is also an experienced technical translator. We recently selected Sally to translate a Japanese manual for a major engineering company that supplies environmentally friendly machinery developed in Japan for the construction industry.
"Given the complexity of the manual and the many environmental and construction terms, we needed a translator with specialist knowledge and sound research skills to translate the manual accurately," says Claire Mullins, LanguageLoop's National Translations Manager.
"We work with a range of highly skilled technical translators and we knew that Sally fitted the bill perfectly."

Within a single practice, BOILLE & ASSOCIES draws on varying sensitivities and brings together common competences that are regularly enriched through bespoke training programmes.
The extensive body of work produced by the three architects reveals a background of generalist experience. Nonetheless, each of the three architects has his own area of excellence. Their differences are brought to the fore and combined; they rest on a multi-disciplinary team, and are the source of richness for all architectural proposals: housing, offices, renovation, public spaces, private spaces, etc. Their unity is always born out of multiples ideas and of know-how.
The team spirit is always a constructive one.
The BOILLE & ASSOCIES practice works out of a business centre in the heart of TOURS, right by the station and just 2 minutes from the A10 motorway.
Although the creative process does not lend itself to explanation, one can understand that it would be optimised by a process of pooling thoughts on a subject. However, the constant exchange of ideas is not the only ingredient in the recipe for bringing forth a complete project.
BOILLE & ASSOCIES also cultivates responsiveness and flexibility; above all, it applies rigour, which takes the form of a formalised work method, a daily commitment, a genuine approach to quality, the whole given form by ISO 9001 certification (management system, quality-management system) and ISO 14001 certification (sustainable-development practices) in 2011.
Architects, designers, site managers, secretarial support: the whole team is involved in this approach.
BOILLE & ASSOCIES exercises its profession through a wide range of competences and through several stages.
Before anything else, the practice begins by analysing a situation and gathering a maximum amount of information, in order to gain a better understanding of and feel for a context and specific needs.
All the components must be combined in order to obtain a clear vision and be able to provide precise planning.
BOILLE & ASSOCIES also knows how to provide consultancy support in terms of the strategy to be followed as well as various financial investments, before going on to design the project that provides the best fit.
BOILLE & ASSOCIES covers the whole range of architectural services, and more besides.
On the basis of the analysis and overview done by B&A, the practice goes on to carefully set out a schedule of work, leaving nothing to chance. In the field, B&A applies industry standards to arrive at the best possible outcome in terms of quality of project implementation, all the while maintaining open channels of communication in order to ensure the highest level of transparency and that information is disseminated to all the project stakeholders.
Finally, BOILLE & ASSOCIES goes further: it carries out a series of related missions, thus exercising its profession globally, possibly by means of architecture that can call upon the latest techniques as regards sustainable development.

Some see the foundation of their estate planning as the incorporation of life insurance. This lets the beneficiaries inherit assets, generally tax free. Avoiding a taxable event upon death is also appealing, based on both taxes as well as overall portfolio values. Talk to a professional about your situation.

To access the functionality described in this section, you must have licensed one of the optional Power Modules. Most of the power and environmental monitoring capabilities are present in the base power monitoring option. To turn outlets on and off, you will need the power control option in addition. See the Device42 power pricing page for more details.
Note to Power Monitoring / Control Users: The Standalone Power Appliance is being depreciated, and all related functionality is now available in Remote Collectors (RC's). Please utilize RC's for power / environmental monitoring or control going forward. See the Remote Collector page for setup details and for information on obtaining a Remote Collector going forward!
First, continuous monitoring is fairly resource intensive and would interfere with the primary Device42 functionality if run on the same appliance.
Second, you have the flexibility to place the monitoring appliance in a separate network segment.
Third, you can deploy multiple monitoring appliances that all talk to the same main Device42 appliance. This gives you the ability to locate monitoring appliances in sensitive network segments and open the minimal number of ports.
The installation process for one or more monitoring appliances is similar to installation of the Device42 main appliance. If you would like to set up power monitoring using a Remote Collector (RC), see the instructions for setting up an RC.
– Download the virtual appliance zip file.
– Use 7 zip to unzip the downloaded file.
– Once the import is finished, power on the new virtual appliance.
– On the console, configure the IP [Please use a STATIC IP for all production Device42 Installations to avoid connection losses] and choose your settings.
– Optional: Create DNS entry for the new IP address for the new virtual appliance.
Please note, however, that the default monitoring appliance username/password is ubuntu/default (this is different than the main appliance default password. Please be sure to change the password after you login.
You will enter the url of each monitoring appliance here. After clicking "Save and continue editing", you can test the connection to the monitoring appliance by clicking the Test Connection button.
You can also enter one or more email addresses of people who should receive email notifications if the main Device42 appliance detects that the monitoring appliance is down.
You can setup multiple monitoring appliances by entering multiple screens like the one above.
Please also read this section of the documentation concerning maintaining the IP's on the monitoring appliance.
Monitoring is a fairly resource-intensive process and as a result, each individual monitoring appliance is limited in the number of pdus, infeeds, and outlets it can handle. When you set up each autodiscovery job (see below), you will choose a polling interval. The primary resource limitation is the number of snmp polls that can be done in the selected polling. So, if you select a 5-minute polling intervals, you monitor 5x the number of pdu's in one monitoring appliance as you can if you select 1-minute polling intervals.
At 5-minute intervals (default), Device42 recommends that you have one monitoring appliance per 200 pdu's. At 1-minute intervals, assume 40 pdu's. If your network is at all sluggish, reduce the number of pdu's per monitoring appliance. Remember, you can deploy as many monitoring appliances as you need with no additional license cost.
Autodiscovery of power-enabled pdu's is very similar to Device42 Network Autodiscovery. Navigate to Tools>>Autodiscovery>>SNMP. You will enter an IP address range, a port, and SNMP information. Before you can do this, you must have setup the monitoring appliance as described above. There is a Test Connection that will test the connection to the monitoring appliance. NOTE that you will not see the Power (SNMP) discovery option in the TOOLS –> Auto-Discovery menu if a power appliance is not registered. Once an appliance is registered in Device42, the option will be visible.
You can also set the polling interval for this set of pdu's by entering a value in the Polling Interval field. This value causes the monitoring to poll each pdu with the frequency defined by this field.
The Autodiscovery job just described will also find any environmental sensors attached to the pdu (by the vendor) such as heat, temperature, and humidity sensors.
Environmental sensors from RFCode will be discovered. Set up RFCode discovery by navigating to Tools>>Autodiscovery>>RFCode.
D42 Monitoring Appliance : Choose which D42 monitoring appliance to use.
Polling Interval : See Polling Interval for PDU's above.
RF Code autodiscovery jobs can be scheduled just like PDU autodiscovery jobs (see above).
There is also a Location Data Pattern Section (see below). This section is optional. Fill it in only if you want Device42 to parse the location descriptor to get the location of each sensor.
You can define up to 5 segments in the RF Code location description field. For each segment, choose the type of object being identified by the segment (see red box above). You can also add a Segment End Delimiter for each segment. For example, if the segments are separated by a semicolon, then you would put just a semicolon in each of the Segment n End Delimiter boxes.
Note: It is recommended that you place RF Code sensor monitoring in a separate monitoring appliance that is not also monitoring PDU's. Just as with PDU's, you can have multiple monitoring appliances for RF Code sensors.

2015 Assessment of the Northern Rock Sole Stock in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Northern rock sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra n. sp.) are distributed primarily on the eastern Bering Sea continental shelf and in much lesser amounts in the Aleutian Islands region. Two species of rock sole are known to occur in the North Pacific Ocean, a northern rock sole (L. polyxystra) and a southern rock sole (L. bilineata) (Orr and Matarese 2000). These species have an overlapping distribution in the Gulf of Alaska, but the northern species comprise the majority of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands populations where they are managed as a single stock.
View Assessment of the Northern Rock Sole Stock
Centers of abundance for rock soles occur off the Kamchatka Peninsula (Shubnikov and Lisovenko 1964), British Columbia (Forrester and Thompson 1969), the central Gulf of Alaska, and in the southeastern Bering Sea (Alton and Sample 1975). Adults exhibit a benthic lifestyle and seem to occupy separate winter (spawning) and summertime feeding distributions on the southeastern Bering Sea continental shelf. Northern rock sole spawn during the winter-early spring period of December-March.
