Q: Does Kubernetes pods replicas run on same time? I'm new to Kubernetes.
I have a question about Kubernetes deployment replicas. kubernetes official web site
If I set replicas on a deployment yaml, does it means replica pods would work at the same time on the cluster? or only one pod would offer services and other replicated pods work like waiting player and will be replaced when working pod shut down accidentally?
For example, if I declare 3 replicas on a deployment yaml, only 1 pod really work on the cluster and other 2 pods waiting for replacement time like when working pod shut down accidentally.

A: The moment you create the deployment resource, the no of replicas defined in the deployment yaml would be all up and running for serving the required functions exposed by the pod

A: The short answer is that all replicas serve traffic from the Kubernetes point of view.
You usually expose your replicas through another abstraction called a Service and that essentially balances the requests to the replicas.
From the application point of view, it may vary. For example, if you have an API service you generally serve traffic through all the replicas. On the other hand, if you have a stateful app, it could be that only one replica serves traffic and the others are on standby or just read-only traffic.
Cheers.

I received the Nails Inc VVB Duo* before Christmas and I was very impressed with the formula of the polishes, the design of the bottles and the colours. I am still loving both shades and I think they are perfect for Spring.
The polishes are a collaboration with Victoria Beckham, featuring a chic and elegant design. The matte feel of the hand frosted bottles is very luxurious and I love how heavy they are as well. The two shades include a vibrant tomato red called Judo Red and a delicate bone colour called Bamboo White.
The formula is really easy to work with, as it incorporates a unique stretch-to-fit technology to ensure smooth application. It also dries pretty fast and doesn't chip for 2-3 days, which is great in my opinion. I always mention it, but most polishes chip on me in less than a day. To keep your nails in great condition, the formula contains Bamboo Extract with essential nutrients to build healthy nails, reduce ridges and imperfections and promote nail growth.
You can also buy the two shades separately, if you don't want to fork out on the duo. I realise that it is pretty expensive, but the product feels super luxurious so I think it's worth the extra money.
Bamboo White and Judo Red.
Overall, I am really impressed with the VVB NAILS INC polishes and I would definitely recommend them for Spring/Summer 2015.
Available from Feelunique, Nails Inc and Selfridges, £45.00 (duo) and £25.00 (single bottles).

Bears down Beavers in pre-season scrimmage
Mark SchaferSports Editor
With the score tied at 20, both schools were itching to get the next five points and gain an early advantage. First DMACC scored two points in the blink of an eye.
However the visiting Buena Vista squad answered with three lightning quick points of their own and took the lead. A sophomore heavy squad of Bears answered back with one more point to tie the game before BVU took the final two points of the set to end the first with a 25-23 victory.
It was the only set victory that the Beavers would get on the scrimmage on Thursday afternoon though. Rallying from the first set loss the Bears streaked to win the next three sets and the match.
"We really focus on errors and we really didn't have a tremendous amount of errors," said Parry Harrison after the scrimmage on Thursday. "Our defense, our hustle and communication were all great this afternoon. We might not be at the top of our game hitting, but we are very consistent."
The look on the faces of the girls on the Bears bench told the story after the first set. Harrison pulled out her legal pad, which she was using to keep track of stats in the match, and pointed to what needed to be worked on for the next few sets. Among the top of the list of things were errors.
Throughout the remaining three sets of the match, the Bears cut back on their errors, including a nearly flawless third set in which the Bears were able to jump ahead of last-years Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference runner-ups, by a dozen points, getting the set win 25-11.
"You can tell that there is a great chemistry," Harrison said. "The girls work well together and we have a great sophomore leadership and we were able to add a bunch of strong freshmen. We've got a good team again this year."
Although the Beavers were getting angry at themselves for letting the junior college best them in two straight sets, the Beavers continued to make errors, and mis judge hits in the fourth set as the Bears took the set, and eventual match win with a third straight victory.
One of the ways that the Bears were able to get the unofficial victory was through the pre-match working that they had done throughout the summer.
"The work ethic is great," Harrison said. "We have had every athlete give 110 percent. They have worked through the soreness of two a day practices. They just had the first day of class Thursday, so there was some added stress with that."
Stress on the team comes from more than just having classes start. They are a team that has made headlines in Iowa and nationally the last few seasons. Last fall the Bears finished the season with 33 wins and just six losses, their season ended with a sixth place finish at the NJCAA Division II tournament.
Although they graduated a few players, they return a strong core of girls while also adding several new-comers that have already gelled with the team and added to the chemistry that is needed to win the tough matches.
"We have a lot of height this year, and girls that have played a lot of volleyball in high school," Harrison said. "We have three girls from Ankeny, a center from Tripoli. They wanted to come to a place where they could play, but also have a lot of fun."
Thursday was all about having fun, and for the Bears there was no better way to have fun than by getting the win. This weekend the Bears open their season with a tournament in Wisconsin Dells. On Sept., 2 they will return home for their first official match when they face Northeast at 6:30 p.m.


I want to thank the Santa at Mullins Auto. I went to Mullins for an oil change on my old car, it is on its last leg, it is a '97. Every time I take it in I am scared of bad news. When the cashier came with my bill, the cashier asked me if I saw Santa come in and I said no. He handed me my bill and it said Merry Xmas from Santa paid in full by cash. Also they put on new wipers; I didn't even know I needed them.
Mullins is the most honest people in Milan. I love them dearly. They know you by first name, never forget it.
I want to wish all of them a Happy New Year.

Home Features Lucasfilm & Disney Need To Start Pursuing Established Directors Like Denis Villeneuve...
Lucasfilm & Disney Need To Start Pursuing Established Directors Like Denis Villeneuve To Helm 'Star Wars' Movies
The recent exit of writers/producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss from their Star Wars trilogy that would reportedly explore the origins of the Jedi seemingly highlights the studio's need to start hiring seasoned professionals at the scripting stage and also behind the camera.
I still think using the Disney+ shows like The Mandalorian, Cassian Andor (directed by Tony Gilroy), and Kenobi (directed by Deborah Chow) as some boot camp for directors to eventually tackle films is actually one of the better things they could do.
That seemingly could be a great way of establishing both a working relationship and more importantly trust with the filmmakers.
However, one thing that is mostly overlooked is that J.J. Abrams wasn't making independent films when he was hired to make Star Wars: The Force Awakens he had already tackled studio franchise films via Mission: Impossible III (helped pump new blood in that franchise) and Star Trek (franchise had been stagnated for over a decade at that point) along creating his own with the science fiction mini-franchise Cloverfield.
When Colin Trevorrow exited what would eventually become Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker the studio didn't hire some fresh-face indie director they brought back Abrams to complete the trilogy, because they trusted he could deliver for them.
I think hiring lesser-known/inexperienced directors from the indie world really works for Marvel Studios, but for Star Wars they need people with a little more experience with the scale/pressure of these productions and the special effects that will be involved (another reason why I believe the Disney+ directors are likely going to get film gigs eventually).
Lucasfilm really should be looking at people that can handle the scale of filmmaking that is involved here.
Taking chances on filmmakers hasn't exactly worked for the studio with the extensive reshoots on Rogue: A Star Wars and Solo: A Star Wars Story costing them a pretty penny with the latter not working out at the box office.
They also notoriously fired director Josh Trank after it was publicly revealed his behind the scene antics while filming the Fantastic Four reboot along with that film's dismal reception. Trank had been developing a Boba Fett standalone film which was likely retooled by Jon Favreau/Dave Filoni as The Mandalorian series.
Ewan McGregor even admitted recently that the Kenobi series started out as feature film, as Stephen Daldry was reportedly in talks to direct but ultimately decided to make Wicked instead.
Here is sort of the rundown of the franchise hiccups.
Josh Trank removed from Boba Fett movie (project eventually cancelled)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story undergoes reshoots by Tony Gilroy
Lord/Miller removed from Solo: A Star Wars Story during filming
Colin Trevorrow exits Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Stephen Daldry seemingly exits talks for the Kenobi movie
Benioff/Weiss exit "Jedi origin" trilogy
One person I think could be actually interested in these movies moving past the Skywalker Saga and attempting something new would be Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario, Prisoners) since he has already surpassed expectations with his Blade Runner sequel Blade Runner 2049 and the ambition to reboot Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi fantasy film Dune (one of the many inspirations for George Lucas' original Star Wars) is extremely admirable.
Villeneuve revealed back in 2017 to the HappySadConfused podcast that he would be interested in tackling a "new part of the galaxy" in the Star Wars universe if given the chance.
VILLENEUVE: "It's something that, again it's like, I would be intrigued. I don't know, it's very difficult. What is dangerous with Star Wars right now is it's become its own vocabulary. I would love to see them, I think Rogue One was a very interesting attempt to get out of the mold… I think it would be a great idea to get out of there and to go on a new part of the galaxy, that I would be open to."
He is sort of echoing what the studio is actually doing at the moment as the Skywalker Saga ends with The Rise of Skywalker this December. Allowing for brand new mythology to be created by filmmakers in different corners and even eras in the franchise.
Denis liked Rogue One: A Star Wars Story so much he hired their cinematographer Greig Fraser (The Batman, Zero Dark Thirty) for Dune.
Arrival cinematographer Bradford Young was the director of photography on Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Going by his comments from 2017, I could see Villeneuve being interested in exploring the origins of the Jedi order (like Benioff/Weiss wanted to do according to Variety) or even something like the rumored Knights of The Old Republic trilogy (penned by Laeta Kalogridis according to BuzzFeed) where the Jedi order has a much larger established presence in the galaxy even more so than in the prequels along with the Sith Empire (never explored before).
New eras could give a truly clean slate for the creative side to finally allow screenwriters and directors to discover a new version of Star Wars beyond the Lucas connections.
We also still don't know what Rian Johnson's trilogy will be about but will likely have zero connection to the Skywalker Saga.
Kevin Feige is also reportedly developing a movie, but it remains to be seen if that will actually come together as a screenwriter and director has yet to be officially announced by Disney along with the project itself.
I don't think Villeneuve is actually opposed to making these kinds of massive studio projects as he was once in the running to direct Bond 25/No Time To Die and is hoping to launch his own studio franchise with Dune arriving in cinemas in December 2020.
This is simply my own take on the situation and I feel that Denis Villeneuve is the type of director that could help Lucasfilm relaunch the Star Wars universe post-Skywalker Saga, but isn't the only one that could do so.
Someone like Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water) is also someone I think could help Lucasfilm world-build new eras, after revealing to Collider that he has talked to Kathleen Kennedy
DEL TORO: "Saying all that caveat, I will say there are some characters that are great, and I have talked to Kathleen Kennedy and John Knoll about ideas."
Back in 2015, he also teased to Yahoo wanting to tackle a Godfather-type Jabba The Hutt film.
DEL TORO: "I would do the sort of 'Godfather' saga the Jabba the Hutt had to go through to gain control. One, because it's the character that looks the most like me, and I like him. I love the idea of a Hutt type of mafia, a very complex coup, you know? … I just love the character."
"This is not real, this is me as a fat geek just geeking out and talking about it." .. "this is not real. They'll say 'not another one.' My IMDB page is made of headlines of a lot of stuff that I'll never do."
I still think he could give us a really good glimpse into the Sith Empire and what that power structure would look like. He has proven he's also capable of tackling massive productions that are effects-driven.
Guillermo had also been originally tapped to direct The Hobbit movies before he left to go make Pacific Rim instead. He's currently prepping his thriller Nightmare Alley at Fox Searchlight (now owned by Disney) to begin shooting next year.
We'll have to wait and see what Lucasfilm announces next concerning the Star Wars films.

Rusney Castillo
Template:Spanish name 2 Rusney Castillo Peraza (born September 7, 1987) is a Cuban professional baseball outfielder for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball. Listed at 5'8 and 186 lbs, he bats and throws right handed.[1]
Castillo was born in Ciego de Ávila, a city located in the central part of Cuba and the capital of Ciego de Ávila Province. At age 22, he showed enough skills to land a spot on Los Tigres, the nickname for Ciego de Ávila's club in the Cuban National Series. Additionally, he played with the Cuban national baseball team in several international tournaments, including the 2011 Baseball World Cup and the 2011 Pan American Games, before defecting from Cuba to the United States in December 2013 to pursue a Major League Baseball career.[1] Castillo signed a $72.5 million contract with the Boston Red Sox on August 23, 2014 which runs through 2020.
Cuban baseball career Edit
Castillo joined the Ciego de Ávila team in the 2008–2009 season, playing for them through 2012–2013. Used sparingly during his first two seasons, he played only 28 games in his rookie year and 44 as a sophomore, while hitting averages of .349 (15-for-43) and .303 (30-for-99), respectively. He spent most of his time playing second base, third base, and the corner outfield positions, until becoming a solid center fielder in the years to come.[2]
His breakout season came in 2010–2011, when he got a major boost in playing time and posted a .320 average with 22 home runs and 95 runs batted in in 107 games, including 75 runs scored, 27 doubles, five triples, and a league-lead 32 stolen bases.[2]
Castillo enjoyed another fine season in 2011–2012, as he batted .342 and slugged .574 in 113 games, stealing 27 bases and collecting a very solid .408 on-base percentage, while driving in 84 runs and scoring 101 times. In addition, he topped the league with 37 doubles, ranked 13th in batting average and tied for third in stolen bases.[2]
Castillo played his last season in 2012–2013. But this time his batting average declined to .274, as well as his games played (68), going 64-for-234 with six homers, 29 RBI and 15 stolen bases.[2]
International competition Edit
In between, Castillo gained prominence as a member of the Cuban national baseball squad. With Yoenis Céspedes and Leonys Martín gone from Cuba, he became the regular center fielder for his team in the Baseball World Cup held at Panama in 2011. Castillo was named to the tournament's All-Star team after leading the World Cup in batting average (.512) and slugging (.854) while ranking fourth in on-base percentage (.524). Overall, he went 21-for-41 with four doubles, two triples and two homers in 10 games.[3]
Castillo also played in the 2011 Pan American Games hosted by Mexico, where he hit .273 (6-for-22) and slugged .318 with a .333 OBP. In the same year, he played in the World Port Tournament in the Netherlands. Then, in 2012 he appeared in exhibition baseball series held at Nicaragua, Taiwan, Japan and Cuba, where he faced the U.S. College National Team, in preparation for the upcoming 2013 World Baseball Classic. Castillo was originally slated to be part of the team, but he did not make the final cut. According to an official statement released, he was suspended for trying to defect.[1]
As the Havana Times reports, a pattern has developed especially over the last decade whereby Cuban baseball stars and top prospects attempt to leave the island illegally and are caught and suspended from playing in the Cuban league. With no choice left to them to continue in their profession, they then succeed at a future attempt escaping to a neighboring country.[4]
Finally, Castillo attempted to leave Cuba once more, and was successful. In early June of 2014, he was granted official free agent status by Major League Baseball after establishing permanent residency in the Dominican Republic and being unblocked by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.[1]
Boston Red Sox Edit
On August 23, 2014, the Boston Red Sox signed Castillo to a seven-year, $72.5 million contract. Castillo was given the jersey number (#38) he wore in Cuba.[5] He made his Major League debut on September 17, 2014 as the Red Sox starting center fielder.

In this short clip, the Brazilian journalist Gilberto de Abreu discusses the controversial cancellation of the New York presentation of the Hélio Oiticica retrospective organized in 1992 by the Projeto Hélio Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro) in collaboration with the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume (Paris) and Rotterdam's Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art. Slated to open in October 1995 at the Guggenheim Museum's Soho branch, the institution had cancelled its participation by May of the previous year. In a phone interview with Globo, the Rio de Janeiro daily, the Guggenheim's public relations head, Catherine Dare, mentioned the impossibility of clearing dates on the institution's tight exhibition schedule as the reason for the cancellation. However, Luciano Figueiredo of the Projeto Hélio Oiticica criticized the New York institution's evasiveness in their official position because, in his opinion, the cancellation had more to do with its struggling finances. To that effect, he cited a document signed by Thomas Krens, the Guggenheim director, who confirmed it lacked the funds needed to mount the retrospective.
This document is part of The Adolpho Leirner Collection of Brazilian Constructive Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Following the untimely death of Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) at age 42, his family and friends established the Projeto Hélio Oiticica in Rio de Janeiro to care for, preserve, analyze, and disseminate his work. Even though Oiticica had been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship to assist research and artistic creation in 1970 and spent the following eight years in New York City, his work had been unfamiliar in Europe and North America until the 1990s. Between 1992 and 1997, the Projeto staged an ambitious retrospective that resulted from a collaborative effort by an international group of scholars led by Guy Brett, the British independent curator and organizer of Oiticica's "Whitechapel Experience" in 1969; Chris Dercon, director of Witte de With at the time and current director of Tate Modern; Catherine David of the National Gallery of the Jeu de Paume; Luciano Figueiredo and artist Lygia Clark, who directed the Projeto Oiticica along with Waly Salomão. The exhibition, which presented a complete survey of Oiticica's work, included reconstructions and the first public presentation of the controversial Cosmococa—Programa in Progress series (1973-74). The Cosmococas, which the artist coauthored in New York with Brazilian filmmaker and actor Neville D'Almeida, blended the languages of art and cinema. Never exhibited during Oiticica's lifetime, each of these "Block Experiments [Experiences] in Cosmococa"—as the artists also referred to them—incorporated slide projections of D'Almeida tracing over album art, book and magazine covers, or other surfaces with lines of cocaine; a soundtrack; texts; and a plan for public participation in a prearranged location. Underlying the Brazilian positions recorded in O Globo is a questioning of whether or not the radical nature of this series may have been an influencing factor in the Guggenheim's cancellation of the retrospective.
The exhibition opened at the Witte de With and then traveled to the Jeu de Paume, the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona, the Centro de Arte Moderna da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. With the Guggenheim's relatively last-minute cancellation, the works were held in storage at the Walker Art Center from 1994 until 1996, when the pieces returned to Rio de Janeiro for a final showing at the Centro de Arte Hélio Oiticica.

Air Force adds 14-MW solar project in Arizona
August 22, 2012 TransmissionHub Staff Intelligence
The U.S. military earlier this year stated a goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025. One small piece of that is being added by the Air Force in Arizona.
The Air Force plans to expand its renewable energy portfolio with a 14.5-MW photovoltaic solar array at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. The project will provide 35% of the energy needed to power the base.
Davis-Monthan has entered into an agreement with SunEdison, LLC to design, finance, build, operate and maintain the array on 170 acres of underutilized base property. Construction will begin soon with completion planned for no later than December 2012.
The power purchase agreement provides electricity to Davis-Monthan at a reduced rate for a period of 25 years saving the base from $400,000 to $500,000 a year in utility costs. It will be slightly larger than the Nellis AFB, Nev., photovoltaic solar array built in 2007, one of the military's first projects.
The array has to be built and generating electricity by the end of the year.
"The project as it was conceived, contracted and offered to us is only viable and can only be done cost effectively for SunEdison if they can participate in a program to sell the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to Tucson Electric Power. That program ends the 31st of December 2012," said Ken Gray, the Rates and Renewables Branch Chief at the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Tyndall AFB, Fla.
Purchasing RECs helps Tucson Electric Power meet state renewable portfolio standards and receive federal tax incentives.
The Air Force currently operates 131 solar, wind, waste-to-energy and landfill gas projects, which help meet goals established by the Energy Policy Act 2005 and Executive Order 13423. It has plans to build 30 new projects by the end of 2013.
The Davis-Monthan solar array required the first Department of Defense approval for an Air Force project of this type. Gray said complying with the National Environmental Policy Act, known as NEPA, process is also challenging in Arizona where many historical Native American areas exist.
Renewable energy projects on land managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management have faced similar obstacles, sometimes landing in federal court.
The Air Force is also planning a six-MW solar array at Otis Air National Guard Base, Mass., and a 10-MW solar array at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J.

Aleesia Johnson reading to students at School 48
District management Indianapolis Public Schools
Interim leader Aleesia Johnson named next superintendent of Indianapolis Public Schools
Interim Superintendent Aleesia Johnson, a longtime ally of charter schools, will officially lead Indianapolis Public Schools following her widely expected selection by the district's school board Friday.
Johnson's appointment to lead the state's largest system solidifies its high-profile transformation into a district that works hand-in-hand with charter school operators. A former charter school principal, Johnson was hired four years ago to oversee the new innovation program, where outside operators run campuses that are considered part of Indianapolis Public Schools. That initiative has drawn attention from around the country and helped the district of about 31,000 students establish an outsize reputation.
"I have grown to have such deep love for this district over the past four years," said Johnson at the announcement Friday. "We have some of the hardest-working people you will ever find in Indianapolis, and I'm so excited by what I know that we can do on behalf of our students and our families."
Johnson, 41, was tapped after a five-month input and search process that culminated in public interviews with three finalists on Tuesday. The other finalists were Larry Young, an assistant superintendent from Pike Township, and Devon Horton, who serves as chief of schools for Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky.
As the next superintendent of Indianapolis Public Schools, Johnson will be asked to navigate several serious challenges on the horizon. Despite winning support from voters for a referendum to boost school funding, the district is facing a tough financial picture, and it is likely that school boundaries will be redrawn and campuses will be closed in the coming years.
The district is also in the middle of a high school reconfiguration after the administration closed three campuses and consolidated students at the four remaining schools into new academies with specialized focuses this year. And four years after Indianapolis Public Schools began partnering with outside operators to create innovation schools, the administration is grappling with how to measure whether those schools are succeeding.
Johnson — who rose from the principal of a charter school of about 350 students to the chief of a school system in four years — said the district strategy, including on innovation schools, will remain largely consistent.
"At this point, I don't expect dramatic changes in the direction of the district," she said. "We are going to continue to be laser-like focused on student outcomes and how we get to better student outcomes."

The Indianapolis Public Schools board has reached a tentative agreement with Johnson after deciding which finalist to select behind closed doors. Because of state law governing the process, it will be several weeks before the board takes a final vote on Johnson's contract, said School Board President Michael O'Connor.
The board expects to release a term sheet next week, hold a public hearing on the contract in mid-July, and vote on the contract at its regular July meeting, O'Connor said. He declined to say whether any board members supported other finalists.
The district did not announce how much Johnson will be paid. Former Superintendent Lewis Ferebee made nearly $300,000 per year including perks when he left, and Johnson is currently paid $222,380.
When the board evaluated finalists, they were looking for someone who knows and understands Indianapolis and will be around for the long-term, O'Connor said. Johnson's commitment to racial equity and ensuring all children have access to high-quality schools were also important strengths.
"She has been able to articulate a direction and a style and an area of focus that resonated with the board," he said.
School board member Elizabeth Gore said that Johnson is a strong choice for superintendent because she is a good communicator and has successfully led the district over the last six months. Gore, who is skeptical of innovation schools, declined to say whether she supported Johnson's selection.
As a new leader, Johnson will have to learn to work with students, the board, and the administration, Gore said.
"I'm looking for her to do well. That's really what I want. But I do know it's going to be a challenge," she said. "This isn't an easy job."
After serving as deputy superintendent for less than a year, Johnson became the district's temporary leader when Ferebee left in January to take the helm of the Washington, D.C., school system. She is the first African-American woman to lead Indianapolis Public Schools.
Johnson has three school-age children who attend district schools and an adult stepdaughter.
Known for being personable and building strong relationships, Johnson is widely liked by Indianapolis leaders and supporters of innovation schools. In the weeks since she announced she was applying to become superintendent, several parents have spoken in support of Johnson at school board meetings. But her choice is controversial among critics of innovation schools and the other rapid changes that were made under Ferebee's administration because she is seen as continuing his strategy.
Critics of Johnson also highlighted that she does not have a superintendent's license, something that is not required under Indiana law. At the press conference Friday, Johnson said she has taken and passed the leadership assessment that's required for a temporary license and she plans to begin required coursework during her tenure.
In the public interview Tuesday, Johnson spoke of her commitment to Indianapolis Public Schools, and she made a case that she would improve opportunities for students of color.
"We simply cannot be satisfied, be comfortable, or be anything less than relentlessly urgent about changing the conditions of our… school system," Johnson said. "We have within our direct power the ability to impact the trajectory of each of our students' lives when they leave us."


The first three parts of this series have talked about the shift required in selling today due to buyers having the power to decide when they will interact with you. I also talked about the work that marketing and sales have to do to get ready to sell on value not price. This part discusses some of the training that has worked to change habits and beliefs.
roles (sales people are so shy). Humor is important here.
There is more information on pricing and value in the following series of posts.
What can you do about pricing for value ?
The intent in this series was to give the reader a different POV showing a way out of the declining returns from push marketing and selling. By looking first at the buyers process and meeting their needs all through in the process, marketing and sales teams are better positioning your company for higher profits and shorter sales cycles. By adopting this approach a company is also setting themselves up as being different from the others in the marketplace. This also adds to your competitive position.
My warning is that this takes hard thoughtful work and attention to the details in execution. Doing this poorly will leave you worse off than not doing it all. Doing this well will just make you all very wealthy.

Maybe. It'll depend on how busy I'll be next week. I'll keep you posted.
I guess that could work to. Kind of like Run/Ren from To-Love Ru.
How about guy raised as girl?
Well, I finished The Courageous Princess. Very well-written. Not quite on the same scale as the Fables series, but it's almost as thrilling and engaging. I definitely have more than a couple ideas about what we can do for an RP.


On Feb. 12 around 1 pm, a driver crashed his or her Lexus sedan into a pole on State Route 36 and Rose Lane in Union Beach. The front of the car was damaged, and the bumper fell off upon impact.
Gov. Phil Murphy issued a State of Emergency yesterday afternoon because of hail, snow and freezing rain expected throughout the day Tuesday.


But that alone doesn't magically make a tax a fee.
In other words, among many other things, the town will be using the money paid by people using disposable bags to "provide" reusable bags to people who aren't paying the cost; a redistributive give-a-way program on (literally) someone else's dime.
This is completely contrary to the "particular service utilized by those who must pay the charge" fee definition. How is this not a tax?
Moreover, what Nederland politicians are calling a fee is actually treated the same as a sales tax in both its collection from the consumer and its remittance to the town. Like with a tax, stores are required to collect the money from customers at the point of purchase. Like with a tax, stores keep a portion (five cents of each ten cents collected) of the money collected to offset the cost of complying with the law. Like with a tax, there are penalties and interest charges for stores failing to file and remit on time.
To call a charge that so closely resembles a retail sales tax a fee demands on a convoluted and insultingly obvious attempt to redefine the traditional understanding of the difference between a fee and a tax.
In fact, there has been a fair amount of pushback on this bag tax bait-and-switch over the last couple years.
In 2013, Durango's bag tax disguised as a fee was repealed at the ballot through citizens' initiative.
In Ft. Collins in 2014, city council went ahead and repealed a bag tax disguised as a fee after citizens gathered enough signatures to put the ordinance on the ballot.
And earlier this year in Denver, a proposed bag tax masquerading as a fee was pulled by its city council sponsor after a veto threat from the mayor.
While the amount of the tax may seem small, the stakes are quite high. If politicians in Denver, Durango, Ft. Collins, and now Nederland, or anywhere else in Colorado, can bypass voters by simply calling what is obviously a tax a fee instead, then there are really no longer any meaningful limits on the ability of Colorado governments to reach into taxpayers' pockets.

Biden authorizes full federal aid funding for West Alaska storm
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – The administration of President Joe Biden announced Thursday that full federal funding will be made available to help Alaskans recover from the powerful storm that devastated western Alaska at the mid-September.
According to a White House press release, the president's major disaster declaration issued last Friday paid for 75% of the total eligible costs associated with the storm, with funds made available for "public assistance, mitigation risks and other assistance needs".
Thursday's announcement increased the level of federal funds to 100% of "total eligible costs for the first 30 days of the incident period."
Governor Mike Dunleavy issued a disaster declaration on September 20, then announced on September 23 that state assistance would be available after visiting several communities hardest hit by the storm.
The historic weather event formed from the remnants of Typhoon Merbok and ravaged the state's west coast from September 15-18, crossing the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea before impacting the coast .
The Alaska congressional delegation, which had asked the president to provide funding for post-storm recovery, all weighed in on a joint statement.
His. Lisa Murkowski:
"I thank the President for listening to us and for approving our request for 100% waiver of state cost-sharing for federal assistance associated with the Western East disaster recovery efforts. Alaska. Today's announcement is the result of hard work by the Alaskan delegation to make the case to the administration, as well as our colleagues – working to educate them about the needs of the west. of Alaska – and it paid off The storm damage from Typhoon Merbok is severe and the recovery needs are great I saw destruction in every affected community I visited – damage to infrastructure such as roads in Elim, houses floating off their foundations in Golovin, extensive flood damage, subsistence camps literally wiped out, taking away boats, nets and four-wheelers. nt to the resumption of the regions, and with the freeze in just a few weeks, the approval of this derogation could not have come soon enough.
His. Dan Sullivan:
"I am pleased to see that the federal government has honored our request to waive the state's share for the relief of Western Alaskans, just as it was done recently for Puerto Rico. I worked on this issue non-stop, speaking directly several times over the past few days with the Secretary of Homeland Security and senior White House officials, and I had an amendment to the Standing Resolution (CR) ready. to be used in the event those discussions with the Biden administration are unsuccessful. The delegation also wrote a letter to the FEMA administrator and I spoke about it in the Senate. I want to thank the federal officials who listened and ensured a quick waiver of cost sharing. Thank you also to all Alaskans who have come together and remained resilient and resilient throughout this disaster. Help is on the way. Now is the time to start asking for help that can meet everything from emergency shelter to food and other needs. The delegation will continue to focus on the important reconstruction process.
representing Marie Peltola:
"I want to thank President Biden for listening to the concerns of the Alaskan delegation and approving a 100% federal cost share for our state. This additional federal funding will ease a tremendous burden on Alaskans who are working so hard to rebuild after the devastation wrought by Typhoon Merbok. These next few weeks are essential to make the necessary repairs before the winter months and I am grateful that President Biden has answered our call for help.
Governor Mike Dunleavy:
"We know the next few weeks will be critical for communities impacted by the storm. From the beginning, we have done everything to support the recovery in Western Alaska, including asking for additional support from the federal government. Rural Alaska is tough, but this storm damaged critical infrastructure and personal property—a cost too high to handle alone, so we've asked for additional federal assistance. Thank you to the Biden administration for waiving 100% of the state's cost share for additional disaster relief. The Alaska congressional delegation and I know that the waiver will go a long way toward repairing the damage done to these communities. Let's get our Alaskan families back on their feet.

A cup of coffee in the morning won't harm your teeth too much–just limit the added sugar.
A drink is a typical part of every meal—whether it's a glass of wine, water or juice, it helps you wash down your meal and leaves you feeling refreshed.
But have you ever thought about the potential damage (or benefits) your fav[o]rite drink has on your oral health?
We break down the best and worst choices for your teeth below.
1. Wine. Whether you have an occasional glass of red or white, neither are fantastic for your dental health. White wine contains more acid than red wine, which is bad news for your enamel. Many wines also have a high sugar content.
2. Water. Drink up! Water is a necessity of life, and staying properly hydrated means you're adequately producing saliva, which is required for good oral health and preventing your teeth from decaying.
3. Coffee. While the dark col[o]r isn't ideal for pearly whites, a single morning cup of coffee isn't going to harm your oral health—so long as you skip the sweetener.
4. Milk. You've probably heard that milk helps to build healthy bones—and your teeth are no exception. Milk contains many minerals like calcium that aid in stopping cavity forming bacteria.
5. Fruit juice. Because most fruit juices are highly concentrated, more often than not you're drinking something that's highly acidic compared to fresh fruit. If you regularly drink juice, consider diluting it with water to help lessen the potential damage to your teeth.
Wondering about other drinks that may benefit or harm your oral health? Ask us at your next appointment.

If my college entrance examination score is high enough for Tsinghua University, will the teacher in the admissions group call me in advance?
I didn't expect an anonymous answer to have so many praises, so I added and explained some basic rules of college entrance examination by the way. Each volunteer college reported by Parallel Volunteer is similar to a shuttle bus. The number of seats in this bus (admission plan) is determined in advance. The examination institute will sort the candidates in the province according to the priority of their scores, and arrange for them to go to the corresponding shuttle bus (college) according to their first choice. Theoretically speaking, the files are cast sequentially, but in fact, with the help of computer technology, the files are cast simultaneously. The so-called parallel volunteers and score priority means that when you are ranked, your first choice will be met if there are not full people registered. If the first choice is full, look at the second choice, and so on. Zhao Wumian's transfer to the college is no matter whether you obey the professional adjustment or not, you will always transfer the file. The analogy to getting on the bus means that as long as you have a ticket (scores that meet the college's cast line), you will be arranged to get on the bus first, and then you can discuss the matter of choosing a seat (choosing a major). If you can't meet your professional requirements, you have to do it again. Please get out of the car (back gear). But when you get off and return to the station, the other cars have already driven away. You can no longer enjoy the policy of parallel volunteering. This is commonly known as slip or shift. Heads-up or Xiaobalu Candidates with the highest rankings in the province can clearly know whether they can be admitted to a major in Peking University/Tsinghua University. Because the enrollment groups of these two schools actually performed a simulation of the files manually. This means that these two colleges and universities will work hard to obtain very high scores (the first three) test takers' scores before the scores are awarded. This work is often based on internal relationships. And, on the day after the score is released, the results of the online candidates (the ranking of the total number of admissions in the Top 2 batch) are obtained. This task is to screen and inquire one by one. Generally, many high-scoring seeds are tracked in the early stage. Then call the candidates one by one. Beijing has the largest amount of tasks, so the teachers and volunteers in the Beijing admissions group of these two schools are also the most. As for the admissions team, how come there are candidates' phone numbers? If you don't take the National People's Congress, you don't change your name. If you can't even handle this, then the admissions team is too weak. Because these two schools need to confirm the candidates' colleges and professional wishes from the first to the next, the one with the highest score will receive the call first. However, candidates who have passed the line will generally receive a call on the day they are released. One very interesting thing is that other colleges and universities next to the top 2 score line, and some will call the Top 2 admissions team on the second or third day after the score is awarded, "How is the fight between your two families? Our general situation, we can start to fight." Of course there are special cases, for example, I noticed that the user did not come up with a name to answer this question. In fact, it is the result of a very typical game. If my college entrance examination score is high enough for Tsinghua University, will the teacher in the admissions group call me in advance? -The answer that the user did not come up with is probably the story behind this answer-Tsinghua: This student's high school has a bad relationship with us, so we won't tell him the line. The vacant places can be given to other high schools that we have a good relationship with. Peking University: This student is enough for Tsinghua to raise the grade line, but we don't need to tell him, because this may increase Tsinghua's grade line by one point. Hand in: We want this student. Of course, we don't tell him that he can go to Tsinghua University.
How do you treat the three squirrels former executives who received and demanded BMW for stealing the company's worth of 680,000 waste paper boxes?
When a full-time wife in Zhejiang provided housework compensation of 190,000 yuan when she got divorced, the court ordered a compensation of 15,000 yuan. How do we treat this result?
Personal experience, divided into schools. I am the sixth in the college entrance examination of a certain city in a certain province, and the 99th in the province, and finally 1 point higher than Tsinghua's original batch of adjustment lines. However, no call was made. Because it is not a well-known school in the province, the high school is still a bit contradictory with qh (the first place in the previous year was also the second place in the province and was fought very hard, but in the end I went to Peking University) and was not called. , I didn't even think about approving in advance, but Peking University has been in active contact since the time when the points were released. I felt that I didn't make a phone call. I didn't take the initiative to ask the admissions team. I applied to a men's technical school. I regretted that the shift line came out. The naked score exceeded one point, so I missed top2. But my roommate, a very famous high school in the same province, was called if he scored one point higher than me in the college entrance examination. Of course, fate made us meet in the end.
Hahaha, I found myself sloppy up in Versailles, but it's all true. I'm very grateful to the school leaders for helping us worry about everything. Otherwise, I'm definitely going to Shanghai to go to school. Of course, I left Beijing for the Yangtze River Delta as soon as I graduated. The weird engineering professionals in the next door mixed up as an obscure little legal affairs and were drifted by people who had called. In 2006, they were still the landline at home. When they answered the phone, they tried to correct their crappy Putonghua. His grades were average, and his scores ranked naked. At 60, I can only go to Tsinghua's weird engineering majors. Peking University has some options. Finally, the principal chartered a car and took me and another classmate with the same score to the computer in the admissions group of the province, and looked at the front. For the students' grades and volunteer choices, they chose a major at Peking University that they felt was not a loss. After the freshman year, I transferred myself to a major that seemed to be unable to find a job. Another student went to Tsinghua University and seemed to have joined the army. Working in a certain missile research institute, now that I was missing, I think back then that the major and the school should have been negotiated by the school leader and the admissions team. The principle is that admission must be guaranteed. In that year, the college entrance examinations of the same school did not perform well in the language of several great gods. After 80 or 90 minutes of the exam, they could only go to Zhejiang University and Fudan University. To keep me and the other survivor, we must be a Tsinghua University and a Peking University. The majors are free…
The scores are still several days away. Yesterday the senior of T University called me. He is a senior who graduated from the same high school as me, and his previous Chinese and physics teachers are the same as those in my class. I just learned from the grapevine yesterday that I might get a 20-point bonus for casting through the P-big dream building project. As a result, the senior student mentioned it on the phone. On the phone, he repeatedly emphasized that although he was responsible for enrolling students in the region this year, he did not call me to "grab students" or something. "After all, T is not bad for these people," he said. He knows that I am more determined to apply for a P major, so he called me to hope that if my score is not much higher than the score line, I can swing between the two schools to negotiate terms on both sides and strive to get a better major. .
Not only will the naked students be able to make phone calls, but the admissions team of the strong foundation plan will be contacted by phone. Everyone has always had a big misunderstanding about the admissions team in Qingbei, thinking that they are just for each other's top pick. But in fact, their role is to make the students who apply for Qingbei a professional zero adjustment as much as possible. After the scores are given, they will understand the target volunteers of candidates who are interested in applying for their school, and then combine the situation of the candidates who are ranked before the candidate, and give the candidates some suggestions on the voluntary application. For example, an examinee ranked 21st in the province after his scores, and he intended to apply for Peking University. His goal is economic management and computer science. At this time, the admissions team of Peking University learned that ten of the top 20 candidates in the province were interested in applying for Peking University, and eight of them were interested in management. At this time, the admissions team will suggest that the candidate give priority to the computer when applying for volunteers, and avoid being transferred to a major that he does not like or is not suitable for. For those candidates who can't get the naked score but can make a strong foundation, the admissions team will suggest that they try it, and will help the candidates analyze if the strong foundation can't get to Qingbei, then volunteer to apply for which universities and professional development prospects are better. Many of Qingbei's recruiting volunteers in a certain area are candidates from previous Shangqingbei sessions in this area. Many of them participated in this voluntary work with the heart to help the younger students and the development of their hometown.
Yes~ If it is the champion, it will even be earlier than the score. My impression of my class was at 7 o'clock in the evening. In the afternoon, the teachers began to wait for the top2 call. We knew that the top pick was out of the game even after 6 o'clock. The top 2 phone calls were made on the same night after the score was released, and I was about to meet and talk about the professional the next day. At that time, I was fourth, a science student. The science students in our province rushed to Tsinghua for the first five years. My dream school was also Tsinghua, so I saw only Tsinghua teachers at that time. When I met, my parents said that I would like to take care of it. Teacher Tsinghua said that I can't give it to the next place. I was asked to leave. Other majors are fine. I said I want a medical laboratory class because I want to study medicine too much… Confirmed After the medical laboratory class, the admissions team said that you can just go home and fill in the volunteers, so you go home to fill in the volunteers… Peking University called my parents the same afternoon (it didn't call me, I didn't even know the whole process), Tell my parents that I can report to Guanghua (my parents want me to study finance with Tsinghua), because the top three have chosen Tsinghua, so there are no professional restrictions on me at Peking University. Without telling me, my parents directly agreed to Peking University and rejected Tsinghua University. Later, we had a big fight about it… the result was that I was too young that year and never had a home, so I went to Peking University to study finance. The next night, the University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong also made Chinese phone calls. The University of Hong Kong said that it could choose a major but did not have a scholarship. It was rejected by Tsinghua University and selected the Hong Kong Encyclopedia Award. The University of Hong Kong has only one full prize in our province. I feel sorry that the tuition fee did not go. . Hong Kong Chinese said that it would give all awards + choose any major, but I only had Tsinghua University and Hong Kong University in my heart that year, so I didn't go.
Last year I was a recruiting volunteer and was responsible for the work of our county. Roughly speaking, I got a list of top students from the teacher. It is mainly students who performed well in the previous model tests. The conditions are very loose. Most of the people on this list will not go to Qingbei. Of course, there are a small number of model exam performances that are generally not on the list, but the college entrance examination performed supernormally. Last year, a student who was not on the list, finally went to the Peking University School of Medicine. Then the volunteers in charge of this area will call to ask about their estimated scores and real results after the college entrance examination and after the scores are released. If the students or parents have questions about the relevant policies, they will also answer. Some top students or the vacillating student admissions team will also fight for it, but it is not very strong within the scope of my understanding.
I was ranked second in a certain college entrance examination province. I received a call when reading books in the library the morning before the score was released. I didn't tell me the ranking, so I hurried to get the score immediately (this is a strategy, because there are no college entrance examination candidates. Can refuse to look at the score first-hand… If you tell me the ranking, then I may have to wait for top2 to contact me separately before going through) Later, I also participated in enrollment, basically the students were circled in advance. In recent years, the management has become more and more strict, and the scores are getting worse and worse. I got the scores in advance. Before, the top students got the scores the day before and then caught people quickly. Now the top students call to circle first, and then leave after the scores are awarded. Half of it is left and the other is to tell the truth. The expressions and moods of the students with unsatisfactory grades walking out of the hotel room are all… In twos and threes in the room, they are happily walking towards the glory moments of the first 18 years of their lives. Outside the house is scattered, watching the former classmates walking towards themselves. I remember the book I read at the school that I was thinking of, I remember very clearly now. I just saw the Wu Tao part of "Six Secret Teachings" when I called, so that I haven't finished reading this book until now.
Will do. At that time, I called as soon as I found the points, and then picked me up. In the end, because my score was too low, the admissions team basically ignored me. I waited until the evening, and then I was told that my score was too low to reach their line. But I'm not sad. I didn't even think about going to Tsinghua University. Although I waited for a long time, I still had a meal for nothing. This wave is not a loss. In the end, I went to Peking University with extra points.
At that time, I always wanted to go to Peking University, and I had extra points for Peking University, and the possibility of being admitted to Peking University was relatively high. My score was actually very dangerous, and I was more concerned about the choice of major, so I didn't think I could Going to Qingbei, on the contrary, I think I have a greater chance of resuming diplomatic relations. On the day of the resumption of diplomatic relations with Zhejiang, they all called and promised to choose their majors. Peking University did not call me. It seems that my score is really low, so I took the initiative to find Peking University that night. The two admissions offices are in different hotels, but they are not far away. I went to the admissions office of Peking University with two other students from our school. Sure enough, I couldn't go to the admissions office of Peking University. The teacher asked me to wait. Divide, discuss professional matters slowly later. After I got home, my parents told me about the situation on the resumption of diplomatic relations with Zhejiang. In fact, the resumption of diplomatic relations with Zhejiang is also very good. I don't have any Qingbei complex, and it's not bad to sign a hand-in computer. Therefore, I signed a contract with Shanghai, and Qingbei was unable to sign with me.
No, I am actually very uncomfortable. My high school is neither in our provincial capital nor the famous high school in our city. Only a quarter of the people can go to the same line every year, but our high school style is very positive. The teachers are very nice. I am the second Tsinghua University in the decades since the establishment of our school. Generally speaking, there is a 985 in the province every year. I am a high-level complex at home, specializing in mathematics. My college entrance examination scores have reached the Qingbei line, and I am sure myself. Later I saw that those with more than 680 points also entered Tsinghua University. But Qingbei never called me, so I was particularly uncomfortable. It was the second day after the resumption of diplomatic relations with Zhejiang. On the first night, I sat with a dead face. I couldn't sit still until 9 o'clock in the evening. I called the former head teacher and kept crying. At 10 o'clock, she contacted Tsinghua University. The way, I have been comforting me, promised to find Peking University tomorrow, and then she asked me to dial and try, and then I picked up, and then exclaimed that there is a student here. Then I woke up the next day and there were a few missed calls. It was a call from Peking University and Zhejiang. The next day I called me should be hopeless. The National People's Congress and the University of Science and Technology of China also called me. As for why Qingbei will call me. Leave me out at the same time, I don't know qaq
Yes, I have participated in the admissions work of the High School Affiliated to Peking University. Generally speaking, the admissions team will get the contact information of the students in advance. In the early stage, it will conduct school and subject publicity through campus visits and professional explanations. After the results are obtained, the high-scoring students and parents will be contacted as soon as possible. After all, every school has I hope to recruit high-scoring students to improve their scores. On the one hand, the way of attraction is that the school gives students the benefits of choosing a major, such as Peking University Yuanpei, which are very skilled majors; on the other hand, it may attract outstanding students through scholarships. In short, if you are good enough, you don't need to look at your profession, someone will contact you, just lie down and choose. Of course, you should also pay attention to many attractive conditions that can fall on paper instead of just verbal promises. , We must also inquire about whether the major of this school is really as good as the admissions teacher said. The annual robbing battle is very exciting. If you can become the one who is robbed, it will be the pinnacle of life (dog head expression)!

Assange accuses Obama of "exploiting" Arab Spring
Friday, September 28, 2012 Politics World
Julian Assange [File Photo]
London: In an unprecedented move WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Thursday accused the U.S. President Barack Obama of "exploiting" the Arab Spring for political his mileage and condemned him defending free speech in the Muslim world.
This has comes close on the heels of America's attempt to "persecuting" Assange's website for leaking American diplomatic cables.
In a video address made on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Assange said that judging from his own experience Mr. Obama had "done more to criminalise free speech than any other U.S. president".
"I speak to you today as a free man, because despite having been detained for 659 days without charge, I am free in the most basic and important sense. I am free to speak my mind," Assange said in his address to United Nations.
"This freedom exists because the nation of Ecuador has granted me political asylum and other nations have rallied to support its decision," he further said.
"It must have come as a surprise to the Egyptian teenagers who washed American teargas out of their eyes [during the Arab Spring] to hear that the U.S. supported change in the Middle East….It's time for President Obama to keep his word ... and for the U.S. to cease its persecution of WikiLeaks," he said.
Mr. Assange has been holed up in Ecuador's London embassy since June after taking refuge there to avoid extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual assault made by two women.
Assange said it was because of Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights that WikiLeaks was able to "receive and impart information... through any media, and any medium and regardless of frontiers".
Assange praised his effort to explore hidden facts through his organisation's investigative stories.
In his speech the WikiLeaks founder thanked United Nations to provide right to exercise inalienable right to seek protection from the arbitrary and excessive actions taken by governments against him and the staff and supporters of his organisation.
In a argumentative speech from inside the embassy, Mr. Assange claimed that WikiLeaks played a big role in triggering the uprisings in the Arab world by leaking American diplomatic cables.
The American Government would be "audacious" to take credit for the "Arab Spring", he said adding that it was "disrespect to the dead to claim that the United States supported the forces of change".
Notably, Assange remarks came amid reports that the Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino was due to meet the British Foreign Secretary William Hague in New York to press him to grant Mr. Assange safe passage to Ecuador which has granted him asylum.
