They Didn't Turn In Their Work For Remote School. Their Parents Were Threatened With Court And Fines.

Hayden, 12, had been having panic attacks about school even before a letter arrived at his home last month, threatening legal action for his alleged absences from distance learning.
The sixth-grader has been attending online class from his home outside Austin, Texas, since August, and having difficulties adjusting. When his grades dropped, he started having intense bouts of anxiety, working himself up until he cried so hard he could barely catch his breath. He wailed that he hated himself and wished he could do better in school.
When the letter arrived from Round Rock School District in November, saying that legal charges punishable by fines or court action could be brought against his mother for his absences, Hayden spiraled into a dayslong episode, says his mother Holly Barentine. He started crying even before they finished reading the letter, disclosing fears about worst-case scenarios that he would fail his classes. When he went to stay the night at his dad's house, the crying continued. His father emailed Barentine, expressing concern for their son's well-being.
Hayden, a sixth-grader, hadn't actually been missing online school. However, his school district only counts kids present in some classes if they both show up and submit their homework for the day. Some of Hayden's homework hadn't been reaching his teachers due to apparent technological glitches on the school's online platform, or in some cases because he hadn't handed it in ― an oversight he didn't expect to be met with potential legal action.
Around the country, school districts are subject to state truancy laws and regulations. However, as the coronavirus pandemic has turned schools upside down and put most learning online, some of these rules are bumping against new realities involving technology gaps or a lack of parental supervision. Amid a global health crisis, threats like the one Round Rock sent to Barentine strike her as particularly archaic.
Barentine immediately emailed her son's school upon receiving the letter.
"I have received a truancy notification for my son, who has been having extreme technical issues," she wrote to administrators. "I have met with his teachers and gone over this, and I think it's highly inappropriate to be sending out these notices to anyone during a pandemic, when we're all doing the best we can."
In recent years, truancy policies have started shifting away from punitive measures to providing more support for students who are chronically absent. Most states have some sort of truancy laws on the books, but only about half still have policies punishing truancy with potential penal measures, according to the national policy group Education Commission of the States.
Where Barentine lives in Texas, the law changed several years ago so kids would no longer face potential criminal sanctions for truancy, instead putting in place school-level prevention programs. Students who are 12 and older may still get referred to truancy court, and parents found to have contributed to nonattendance can face fines and charges. In other states, like Alabama, parents who contribute to a child's truancy "may also be sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than 90 days."
During a pandemic, when there's no uniform way of counting attendance, Hedy Chang, director of the advocacy group Attendance Works, has seen districts rethinking some of these rules, with their ability to do so varying on state flexibility.
"Threatening families with court isn't what allows you to unpack what's going on or come up with solutions, and I think this was true before the pandemic, and the pandemic, as with many situations, has made it even more clear," said Chang.

Round Rock spokesperson Jenny LaCoste-Caputo acknowledged the difficulties of following these policies during remote learning, noting that technological problems can sometimes erroneously show when an assignment was turned in. She said the district is closely following guidance issued by the Texas Education Agency, which says that teachers leading asynchronous classes can use the completion of daily assignments as a measure of attendance. In synchronous classes, it is enough for a student to be present.
The letter Barentine received from her son's school said that he had 10 unexcused absences and that it may be necessary to proceed with legal action against her and to refer her son to truancy court.
"If you, with criminal negligence, fail to require the child to attend school as required by law, legal charges can be brought against YOU for Parent Contributing to Nonattendance," says the letter, noting that "conviction of this offense is a Misdemeanor punishable by fines ranging from $100.00 for first offense up to $500.00 for each additional offense."
After HuffPost contacted the district, LaCoste-Caputo said it would reword the automatically generated truancy letters to be more "solution and intervention-oriented."
"We do understand that the current wording of the warning letter is in need of updating given our current climate," LaCoste-Caputo wrote. "This environment presents a very real challenge on all sides, but we also must identify students who are not engaging in school virtually so we can do all we can to support them and bring them back."
Barentine is now considering pulling Hayden and his older brother, an eighth-grader, out of school to enroll in a virtual program. She figures it would come with some of the same challenges, but with fewer technology issues and fewer legal threats. She's still exploring this option ― she emailed the kids' school for information on the withdrawal process, but they're first going to finish the semester and then evaluate their options later this month.
Hayden, typically an A or B student, has had difficulty making the transition from elementary school to middle school online. He was never a frequent user of computers, instead playing video games on a handheld device, and has found adjusting to the school's online learning platform challenging. It sometimes takes him hours to type assignments.
There have been more than a handful of instances, too, when technology simply failed him. Barentine recalls sitting next to him, watching him submit homework via the Schoology learning management platform used by the district, that the teacher never received. (Hayden has started directly emailing some of his assignments to teachers out of frustration.)
Barentine's older son, more fluent in technology, has had an easier time making the adjustment, though sometimes his completed assignments don't reach teachers, either.
"There have definitely been issues to work through with the platform but we are happy with the support Schoology has provided," said LaCoste-Caputo.
Barentine, a single mother, hasn't been around as much as she would like to help to coach Hayden through his difficulties. Her job as an escrow officer for a title company requires her to go into the office in person, leaving her two sons to work independently during most of the day. The office is only about 10 minutes away from their home, and she regularly drops in unannounced.
She's been surprised at how well her children seem to be handling their new independence. They load the dishwasher and take out the trash before she gets home. Her eldest has started occasionally making his own lunch. They seem to be staying focused, even without supervision, she said.
Still, staying on top of her kids' learning this year feels like a full-time job in itself, more work than previous stints on the school PTA. She's started checking in every day with all her sons' teachers. They all individually send weekly updates ― 14 different emails, all containing potentially vital information.
There's also the issue of her son's well-being. Hayden has always had anxiety and has been seeing a therapist about it. But in the past his anxiety was rarely focused around school, where he did well. Now he calls his mom in a panic after their internet cuts out and he gets bumped from class, afraid he will get marked absent.
"It's sad to see your kid passing with flying colors to failing everything," says Barentine. "He's already trying his best and not doing well because of everything. Then to hear you might have to fail or get kicked out or go to court."
The district has referred 22 truancy cases to court this school year, a number LaCoste-Caputo says is significantly down from the 65 referrals during the fall semester last year. Staff members in the large district with over 50,000 students have been following up with families to ensure they are "true truancy cases" before making these referrals, she said.
It's sad to see your kid passing with flying colors to failing everything. He's already trying his best and not doing well.
In Chicago, Kishonna Gray decided to pull her children out of public school after receiving a similar letter. Gray, an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, had been working remotely, supervising her kids' learning, when one of them received a truancy notice in October.
There was the time she took her kids, in second and fourth grade, with her to a doctor's appointment so they wouldn't be left without supervision. Another time, she took them with her when she went to get her car fixed, an activity that took hours. While Gray's husband is working remotely, his job is less flexible and he's usually unable to pull himself away from the computer to watch the kids.
Gray allowed her youngest child to turn his camera off during class, which caused him to be marked as absent at his charter school, she says. Her child prefers to sit on a bouncy ball during class to help him focus, but his teacher told him it was distracting and asked him to stop. Gray gave him permission to turn off his camera to prevent him from distracting others if the ball would help him learn.
A few weeks later, she received a truancy letter, explaining that her youngest had missed five unexcused days of school. It warned that if the pattern continued, they could be subject to the "chronic truant adjudication hearing procedures."
"Should your child be found to be a chronic truant and should you, your child, or both, fail to comply with any sanctions imposed by the hearing officer, the Department of Chronic Truant Adjudication may refer the matter to the Office of Cook County State's Attorney for prosecution," read the letter.
April Shaw, Namaste Charter School's executive director, said parents had been told cameras should be on during live instruction. They were encouraged to reach out if they had concerns or needed accommodations, and a number have been granted. The truancy letters, required by Chicago Public Schools, are automatically generated, Shaw wrote in an email.
But Gray had already been having issues with her sons' school. Remote learning had given her a look into their classrooms, and she didn't like what she saw.
Her older child's teacher would rally kids back to class after breaks by sounding a police siren ― a noise Gray, who is Black, found inappropriate, given the context of protests against law enforcement and the optics of a white teacher exercising control in that way over a majority Black and brown classroom.
Her younger child's classroom was constantly being divided for activities based on gender, a pattern Gray found frustrating ― he is transgender. (Once she reached out to the school complaining about these issues, they made adjustments, Gray said.)
But at a time where teachers had the opportunity to reimagine the architecture of learning, Gray says she witnessed an emphasis on compliance and authority as opposed to curiosity and ideas. The truancy allegation seemed emblematic of these larger issues.
"I realized this space was going to do more harm to my kids at such an early age because they have the rest of their lives to be disappointed by the world," Gray says. "At this time I would like them to be connected to advocates and people who support them."
When Gray received the truancy letter, she sat her kids down and explained the situation to them ― that their mom could get in legal trouble for taking them to the doctors or allowing her youngest to turn off his camera. They didn't understand. They equated courts and punishment with crimes like murder and stealing ― mommy had only tried to help them. She asked them how they felt about home schooling instead.
Now, Gray spends her day teaching her kids about the tenants of physics through at-home basketball games, and about kinesiology through dance and movement. She gives her kids Mondays off so she can work, while at-home school is in session Tuesday through Friday. As a professor, her classes are asynchronous this semester, making her schedule mostly flexible. A sample home school schedule shared by Gray in mid-October shows her teaching her children about decimals and plants and poetry. When and if she puts her kids back in school, she says she'll be looking for another one.
"I measure success by their mental well-being, they're happier kids," says Gray, noting that her fourth-grader almost immediately stopped wetting the bed when she took him out of school. She hadn't known that school had become such a stressor.
I realized this space was going to do more harm to my kids at such an early age because they have the rest of their lives to be disappointed by the world.
Shaw takes issue with Gray's characterizations, noting that the school took steps to address her complaints, and emphasized its commitment to diversity, parent connectivity and a personal approach to learning.
"When the parent reached out with the concern, we immediately responded with ways to support the students," including options to have the camera off and an alternative schedule, wrote Shaw. "We can confidently say that Namaste's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, along with parent and community communication and support were in place throughout the student's time at Namaste."
Gray worries about other students in Chicago Public Schools with fewer resources, who may be getting marked absent because of technological issues, or because their parents are working outside the home all day and aren't able to supervise.
Chicago educator Megan Jackson, who teaches special education at a Chicago elementary school that serves predominantly low-income students, has seen these issues play out in her classroom. Many of her families work in retail, restaurants, and essential services and lack reliable child care, making it especially difficult to ensure that their young kids will log on and stay logged on.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Public Schools CEO Janice Jackson check on students on Oct. 17, 2019 in Chicago.
One of Jackson's first graders has missed some 20 days of school this fall because of various challenges, she says. His mother works at a chain food store and couldn't stay home to care for him, so she often left him with relatives, where he had trouble accessing Wi-Fi. Then the student's school-provided computer broke.
Jackson says she picked up the computer from the student's home and took it to school to be repaired. While it was being fixed, the mom received a letter from the school marking her son as truant.
She says the district's attendance policies don't take into account the realities of parents' lives and the obstacles to keeping young children engaged online. "They are trying to have an attendance policy like they are in person, but they are not in person," Jackson says.
Chicago Public Schools spokesperson James Gherardi told HuffPost the district has told teachers "to exercise discretion, allowing for flexibility in determining attendance in the event of unforeseen circumstances and in adjustment to the remote learning environment," including scheduling, connecting and logging in.

Kandis, Cooper and Rob Seaver stand for a portrait at their apartment complex in Austin, Texas, on Dec. 8, 2020.
Hayden is not the only student in his district to receive truancy letters during the pandemic because of missed assignments.
An eighth grader named Cooper received one in October, baffling his mother, Kandis Seaver, who is home with him all day and hasn't been working during the health crisis.
Cooper, like Hayden, has been mostly attending class ― though his mother admits he may have occasionally been tempted by computer games. His absences snowballed, however, over a failure to do homework. Cooper has always struggled with homework, something his mother tried not to interfere with in an effort to let him learn his own lessons.
He's also been plagued by technological glitches in which completed assignments have failed to make their way to his teachers. His parents have had trouble sorting out which absences were a result of him not logging on for class and which were for not doing homework.
Cooper's teachers, some of whom taught him in previous years, say he doesn't participate like he used to. At one point this semester, he was failing all but one class, and the situation has only barely improved since.
Seaver and her husband have opted to keep Cooper home for safety reasons, even after in-person classes resumed. Now they wonder if they should enroll him in the district's hybrid option. They wonder if the consequences of remote learning ― the poor grades, the legal threats ― make it worth the tradeoff, even though going back would make her son incredibly anxious over potential exposure to COVID-19.
"Combined with being stuck home all day and never seeing his friends except occasionally on FaceTime, I could imagine how it all feels altogether overwhelming," says Seaver. "It feels like they made this policy and then we weren't given any additional resources or anything."
Local news reports say grades in the district have fallen this semester, as in districts around the country. (Seaver notes her appreciation for a recently rolled out virtual tutoring program.)
LaCoste-Caputo says Round Rock's decline in student grades has been in line with peer districts and "most of the issues were not from low grades on assignments but from missing assignments as students were getting accustomed to this brand new and unfamiliar way of learning."
Barentine worries about how this year will impact her son's long-term relationship with school and his view of himself as a student.
"It's hurting his self esteem," says Barentine, who spoke with her son's counselor and learned that most other students are struggling with the same issues.
Hayden still feels nervous that the family could be upended with legal consequences for truancy, no matter how hard he tries in school.
"I don't think he really believes that nothing is going to happen," says Barentine. "I just tell him that we have to do the best we can, and if you feel like you're going to have a panic attack, tell the teacher you need a few minutes and give me a call."

View Full Version : CHEAPEST way to upgrade B&W G3?
I'd like to upgrade to a 500Mhz G4 chip from a B&W G3/350. Is there a cheap way to do this? What options are there for a dual 500Mhz upgrade? I don't really understand XLR8s explanation of the MPe products. Do they have a card that I can just stick in the ZIF slot and add 2 CPUs?
you can easily drop a G4 500MHz ZIF in that machine. They are listed on our XLR8 ZIF (http://www.macgurus.com/shoppingcart/showrampage.cgi?xlr8boards1z.html) page.
you can also install an XLR8 Velocity into the ZIF socket on your logic board, then install a pair of G4 ZIF into the Velocity board and end up with a dual-G4 500MHz upgrade. That's the hard way to do it. The easy way is to simply purchase a Velocity upgrade which already includes the dual G4 ZIF.
Velocity upgrades are listed on our Velocity page (http://www.macgurus.com/shoppingcart/showrampage.cgi?xlr8boards2cz.html).
we're accepting orders now for shipments in late Feb.
If I bought a 500Mhz G4 MPe ZIF, would I be able to buy another one later and mount it on a velocity card if I wanted to upgrade to dual 500s later?


Jolyon Palmer believes F1 shouldn't try to "put a bubble" around the drivers as the sport pushes ahead with plans to introduce Halo in 2018.
Next season the Formula 1 cars will all carry the cockpit protection device, which has divided opinion in the paddock.
Palmer is one driver who is against it despite seeing the FIA's presentation on Halo and how they believe it could have saved Henry Surtees who was killed by a loose wheel in a Formula 2 race.
"I have to take on board what they say. I have not experienced it but it should help," he said.
"Maybe we've been very lucky, but for 60, 70 years in Formula 1, there has not been a fatality because of that reason.
"Maybe it could not happen in the future. I am not ignoring the risk because I have raced every time knowing there's a bit of risk.
"But you cannot put a bubble around the drivers. There's always going to be some problems."
And Palmer is well aware of the risks as he was competing in that Formula 2 race at Brands Hatch in 2009.
"I was literally the car ahead of Henry, and saw the wheel that hit him in my live view. At the time, I didn't even imagine that could happen to be honest," he said.
"I was a young, naive, racing driver. When that happened then, of course, it surprises you that there is actually some danger in motorsport, but I've carried on racing in my career for eight years and not had a worry at all about that, and that incident couldn't have happened closer to me.
"I am not naive or disrespectful to that. I just think the whole essence of single-seater racing is open top and I think Henry's incident, we were racing on Brands GP, there were very fast corners, very little run-off, we were doing high speeds.
"The wheel tethers, they were already up to FIA spec at the time and they got improved after that, in Formula One we have even stronger wheel tethers.
"I think the problems from F2 back then and in IndyCar with Justin [Wilson's] incident, they're not problems we experienced in modern Formula 1 circuits where you've got huge run-offs at Copse or something."

GoTyme Bank invests in security measures through state-of-the-art technology ahead of launch
GoTyme Bank, a partnership between the Gokongwei Group and Singapore-based digital banking group Tyme, is optimizing its tech and security measures ahead of its launch. In 2021, the bank received its license to operate in line with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' goal of digitizing 50% of all payments and having 70% of Filipino adults into the banked population by 2023.
Amid incidences of phishing, malware, ransomware, fraud, identity theft, and social engineering in the banking industry, GoTyme Bank has heavily invested in the best cyber security controls to strengthen its defenses. Social engineering is the act of deceiving individuals in order to manipulate them to disclose confidential or personal information, such as one-time pins (OTP) or passcodes.
"Without good cybersecurity you can't have trust," explains Chris Bennett, Chief Technology Officer at GoTyme Bank. "We make use of the best security controls throughout the lifecycle."
As a cloud-first and cloud-only company, GoTyme Bank is able to react to threats much faster than any organization, Bennett emphasizes. Built on Tyme Bank's experience and success in South Africa, GoTyme Bank is working with the world's leading providers to prevent and combat potential threats.
"Being cloud only, we can make changes fast," Bennett remarks. "We bring experiences of tackling threats from South Africa and we've been able to integrate some of the latest security tools."
Even before GoTyme Bank's code is written, teams are already trained in cyber development best practices, Bennett notes. The bank makes use of SonarQube, an open-source platform which continuously inspects and reviews codes to detect bugs. During the building process, internal and external security teams test the code for any vulnerabilities, and upon going live, a cyber operations center monitors then alerts and acts upon threats.
"Our infrastructure is managed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and we're able to benefit from the range of secure certifications that they offer, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)," Bennett says. AWS control towers allow GoTyme Bank to automate reporting and identification of issues.
AWS is the world's most comprehensive and widely used cloud platform that offers on-demand cloud computing web services to millions of customers, while PCI DSS is a global information security standard for protecting data. NIST, meanwhile, is a cybersecurity framework used by governments and industries worldwide. GOTyme also credits its experience working with NICE Actimize, the leading global provider of financial crime, risk, and compliance solutions, to guard against fraud and money laundering
When it comes to high-value items, biometrics may also be used to verify the identity of individuals making a transaction. "Our payments fraud capability is world-leading, and we make use of our own and also industry data to spot and prevent attacks," Bennett says.
Once live, GoTyme Bank clients will be able to open an account and receive a free personalized debit card in under five minutes via digital kiosks located in Robinsons Malls and Robinsons Supermarkets. GoTyme Bank promises to deliver high-quality banking products and services such as better savings interest rewards, fund transfers, trading and investing, as well as 24/7 customer support via call, chat, or e-mail.
GoTyme Bank is set to launch in Q3 2022. For early access, subscribe to GoTyme's newsletter for exclusive updates on exciting features and products.

Do You Have To Be 21 To Buy Kombucha? Your Quick Guide
In most cases, somebody aged under 21 can buy kombucha. Most commercially produced kombucha is non-alcoholic. Non-alcoholic drinks do not have an age requirement to purchase. There are some varieties of kombucha that can contain higher volumes of alcohol, which would require you to be over 21 to purchase.
Kombucha & Alcohol
What Is An Alcoholic Drink?
"Alcoholic drinks contain the chemical ethanol. This form of alcohol is a by-product of the fermentation process, which is the reaction of sugars and yeast. These sugars are sourced from foods rich in starch, such as maize, wheat, molasses, barley and potatoes." Source: DrinkCoach.
Does Kombucha Contain Alcohol?
Yes, kombucha does contain alcohol. Most kombucha labels on kombucha state that they're "non-alcoholic" or contain trace amounts of alcohol. Homebrewed Kombucha contains a higher amount of alcohol.
During the fermentation process, the yeast eats the sugar-producing more yeast and also alcohol. The quantity of alcohol produced depends on the conditions of the brew and the type of yeast used.
Is Kombucha An Alcoholic Drink?
It could be. Most kombucha brands that are in grocery stores are not alcoholic drinks. However, kombucha brewed at home is likely to be an alcoholic drink.
Legal Definition Of Alcoholic Drinks
Legal definitions of what is and what an alcoholic can be slightly confusing. Countries issue regulations that contain the terms, such as dealcoholized, alcohol-removed, non-alcoholic, and alcohol-free. All have slightly different meanings. This segment looks at the laws in the context of kombucha brewed with low-alcohol production methods.
US FDA Regulation states that for all drinks sold with less than 0.5% ABV contents are classified as non-alcoholic. Therefore brands of kombucha with less than 0.5% ABV are labeled and sold as non-alcoholic. Minors in the USA can purchase kombucha under 0.5% ABV.
The U.K.'s regulations state that for a beverage sold as alcohol-free, it has to contain less than 0.05% ABV. This is very low; fruit juices often will contain more than 0.05% ABV. A low-alcohol ABV would be less than 0.5%.
Often this can cause confusion for bar and grocery store workers as the legal definitions of non-alcoholic seem surprisingly low. This could mean that depending on the specific brand, it may be sold to minors, and others may not be. In the U.K., a minor (aged under 18) could purchase kombucha under 0.05% alcohol.
The European Union class alcohol-free to be less than 0.5% ABV for beverages. This is the same as the United States' FDA regulations for non-alcoholic classifications. Hence minors can purchase most commercially produced kombucha. Just like the USA, a minor in the European Union can purchase kombucha, which contains less than 0.5% ABV.
Colorado, Kombucha, And Alcohol
In Colorado, they've reviewed the law that put kombucha in the same alcoholic tax bracket as hard liquors such as vodka and gin. "U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat, called it a "complete misclassification" to label kombucha as alcohol." - Source: CNN. Members of Congress are pushing for kombucha to be exempt from alcohol taxation for all brews under 1.25% ABV. It has been nicknamed the "Kombucha Act."
They view kombucha differently from other alcoholic beverages that fall under the higher tax bracket. Citing potential health benefits and also the ingredient used to brew the tea is wholesome.
G.T.'s And Whole Foods Scandal Of 2010
In 2010 Whole Foods removed all kombucha products from their shelves. This was after the Alcohol, And Tobacco Tax And Trade Bureau tested bottles of kombucha in 3 different locations. Their findings were that the alcohol content was between 0.5% to 2.5% ABV. All of the bottles of kombucha were labeled as "non-alcoholic." They broke the 0.5% ABV non-alcoholic FDA regulation Whole Foods removed them from the shelves.
Can Minors Now Buy Gt's Kombucha?
After kombucha was removed from the shelves of Whole Foods, commercial producers were starting changing their production methods to reduce the ABV. Coming up with a new method of brewing, they returned to the grocery store shelves.
Kombucha brands that are in the supermarkets almost all have non-alcoholic status, with less than 0.5% ABV. It's thought that the yeast and bacteria used in brewing changed, causing a lower amount of alcohol to be produced.
Low Alcohol Homebrewed Kombucha
If you're looking to make homebrewed kombucha that has a low ABV, there would be a few options. The first suggestion would be to get an alcohol hydrometer, either digital or manual. This will measure the ABV content for your brew.
Here Are Two Ways To Reduce The ABV Of Your Batch:
Let The Brew Ferment For Longer - The longer that you leave the brew, the less alcohol content there will be. Alcohol, after it has been produced, will react overtime slowly to produce vinegar. By leaving your brew out longer before you consume, you will get more of a vinegary taste.
Decrease ABV By Mixing - If you test your ABV with a hydrometer and see it's on the high side. You can then mix it with another drink to bring the ABV down. Suitable mixing drinks could include juice or carbonated soft drinks.
After using these two methods for reducing your ABV, retest your brew if it's still higher than you'd like to keep on repeating the process until you're happy.
Can You Get Drunk Off Kombucha?
Probably not. Because the store brought kombucha is very low in alcohol volume, you would have to drink a very vast quantity of alcohol within a short period. A reporter from Vice News tried to get drunk from drinking kombucha and was unsuccessful. He concluded that the drink was far too mildly alcoholic to have an intoxicating impact.
How Old Do You Have To Be To Drink Kombucha?
To legally buy non-alcoholic kombucha, you can be any age, as it's a soft drink. To drink kombucha, it isn't recommended for any under 12's due to containing caffeine. According to health experts, caffeinated beverages should not be drunk by anybody under the age of 12. After 12, a child can consume up to 80mg of caffeine per day.
Can You Drive while Drinking Kombucha?
It's common knowledge that if you're driving with a beer in the front seat, you'll be breaking the law. With kombucha, the line is a little more blurry. This is because some kombucha would be classed as containing-alcohol, whereas other varieties of the drink will non-alcoholic how this is likely to be treated in the same way as the FDA has categorized the drink. If the ABV is less than 0.5%, then you're not breaking the law.


Hosts Maritimo came into the game on the back of four straight defeats in the league, but they were given a huge helping hand by Boavista, who were forced to play the final 20 minutes with only eight players.
Dyego Sousa put Maritimo ahead inside 10 minutes and it was not until close to the hour-mark that things began to unravel for the visitors.
Brazilian defender Philipe was shown a second yellow card, Bruno Gallo doubling Maritimo's lead from the spot.
Six minutes later Boavista were reduced to nine men when Brayan Beckeles was also shown a second caution, and things went from bad to worse when goalkeeper Mika was given a straight red.
Moussa Maazou converted the resulting penalty, before Sousa rounded off the scoring in a farcical game with six minutes to go.
Elsewhere, Porto enjoyed a late goal spree in a 5-0 win over Rio Ave, while Benfica regained top spot with a 2-0 win at Academica.
Julen Lopetegui's Porto remain the only unbeaten side in the Portuguese top flight, as they ruthlessly finished off their visitors with four goals in the final 12 minutes.
After a goalless first half, Cristian Tello put the home side ahead two minutes into the second period, but they were made to wait to increase their advantage.
Jackson Martinez broke Rio Ave's resistance in the 78th minute and from that point on Porto were rampant.
Further goals from Alex Sandro, Oliver Torres and Danilo all arrived in the closing stages as Porto kept pace with the leading clubs.
Lopetegui's men are third, a point behind second-placed Vitoria Guimaraes, who had briefly gone top with a 2-1 victory over Moreirense on Friday.
But Benfica soon regained their two-point cushion at the summit as goals from Nicolas Gaitan and Luisao earned them victory at Academica, who saw substitute Marinho dismissed in stoppage time after picking up a second caution.
The other game on Sunday ended goalless as Gil Vicente - who remain winless - and Nacional played out a stalemate.


Rajasthan is the land of Rajputana history and culture. Most well-known for its numerous royal palaces and grand forts, the state attracts tourists from around the world. From the sand dunes of Jaisalmer to the scenic beauty of Mount Abu to the enthralling Camel Fair in Pushkar, Rajasthan is a great destination for travel.
Tourists who like to explore the roads less traveled, Rajasthan also has some unique sights which cannot be found anywhere else. Pushkar, a small holy town, is the only place in India that has a temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. One of the leading ropeway construction companies in India, Damodar Ropeways offers an exciting ropeway ride up to the Savitri Mata Temple in Pushkar. Tourists can also enjoy adventure activities like parasailing or hot air balloon ride here in cities like Jaislamer or Jodhpur.
Popularly known as the Pink City, Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan. The city was founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in 1727, and has been named after the late King of Amer. Major tourist attractions of Jaipur include the Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Jal Mahal, and the Jantar Mantar Observatory.
The Amber Fort and Palace, more popularly known as the Amer Fort, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Overlooking the Maota Lake, the fort is located on top of a hill and built with red sandstone and marble. The palace consists of the Diwan-e-Aam, the Diwan-e-Khaas, the Sheesh Mahal and the Sukh Niwas. The Amer Palace served as the royal residence of Rajput Maharajas and their families. It is best known for its artistic representation of Hindu elements. The entire fort, especially rooms like the Sheesh Mahal, is a magnificent sight to see.
Built in the heart of Thar desert, Jaisalmer is a city known for its sand dunes and the spectacular Jaisalmer Fort. The city is fondly known as the Golden City, as the whole town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone. The erstwhile fort sits like a crown atop the city. In addition to the Jaisalmer Fort, other chief attractions include the Sand Dunes and the abandoned Kuldhara Village.
The Jaisalmer Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More than 800 years old, the structure is made of yellow sandstone. The fort takes on a yellow hue under the sun rays and turns a beautiful honey gold color at sunset. Hence, locals often call the fort "Sonar Qila" meaning Golden Fort. The Jaisalmer Fort is one of the largest forts in the world. It is believed to be one of the very few (perhaps the only) "living forts" in the world, with a few thousand families living in the fort even today.
Jodhpur used to be the capital of the then 'Marwar' kingdom. The city is famous for its many forts, palaces and temples. The most famous attractions in Jodhpur are the Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Bhawan Palace, Mandore Gardens, and some more sights. The neighborhood around Mehrangarh Fort is surrounded by blue houses. This was a custom followed in the historic times to signify that the blue houses belonged to the Hindus (the highest caste). Because of this, Jodhpur is also referred to as the Blue City.
The Mehrangarh Fort is one of the largest forts in India, and was considered as impenetrable because of its imposing thick walls. This 15th century fort has now been converted to a museum displaying weapons, paintings and elaborate royal palanquins. Tourists can witness centuries old cannons kept inside the fort. The fort also offers an awesome panoramic view of the blue city beneath.
The city of Pushkar is most well known for having the only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. The Jagatpita Brahma Temple, originally built in the 14th century, is a very popular pilgrimage destination for the Hindus. Tourists who visit the Brahma Temple also make it a point to visit the Savitri Mata Temple. Savitri was the first wife of Brahma. Located on top of a hill, the Savitri Mata Temple involves a difficult climb of little more than 1100 steps. There is a ropeway built by Damodar Ropeways & Infra Ltd. [DRIL] which can cover the distance of 720 meters in less than 6 minutes. Once you reach the top of this temple, once can enjoy some amazing views of the surrounding scenery from here.
Udaipur is known as the City of Lakes. It used to be the capital of the 'Mewar' kingdom. Udaipur is a popular tourist destination because of its surrounding lakes and the royal palaces. Several international publications have named Udaipur as "one of the most romantic destinations in the world". Lake Pichola and the City Palace are the most popular attractions in the city. The Lake Palace, built over an island in Lake Pichola, has been converted to a luxury hotel.

With Births Down, US Had Slowest Growth Rate in a Century
Thứ hai, 30 Tháng 12 2019 23:05
ORLANDO, FLORIDA - The past year's population growth rate in the United States was the slowest in a century due to declining births, increasing deaths and the slowdown of international migration, according to figures released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The U.S. grew from 2018 to 2019 by almost a half percent, or about 1.5 million people, with the population standing at 328 million this year, according to population estimates.
FILE - Newborn babies are monitored in the nursery of a postpartum recovery center in upstate New York, Feb. 16, 2017.
That's the slowest growth rate in the U.S. since 1917 to 1918, when the nation was involved in World War I, said William Frey, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution.
For the first time in decades, natural increase — the number of births minus the number of deaths — was less than 1 million in the U.S. due to an aging population of baby boomers, whose oldest members entered their 70s within the past several years. As the large boomer population ages, this trend is going to continue.
"Some of these things are locked into place. With the aging of the population, as the baby boomers move into their 70s and 80s, there are going to be higher numbers of deaths," Frey said. "That means proportionately fewer women of child-bearing age, so even if they have children, it's still going to be less."
Four states had a natural decrease, where deaths outnumbered births: West Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
International migration decreased to 595,000 people from 2018 to 2019, dropping from as many as 1 million international migrants in 2016, according to the population estimates. Immigration restrictions by the Trump administration combined with a perception that the U.S. has fewer economic opportunities than it did before the recession a decade ago contributed to the decline, Frey said.
"Immigration is a wildcard in that it is something we can do something about," Frey said. "Immigrants tend to be younger and have children, and they can make a population younger."
Ten states had population declines in the past year. They included New York, which lost almost 77,000 people; Illinois, which lost almost 51,000 residents; West Virginia, which lost more than 12,000 people; Louisiana, which lost almost 11,000 residents; and Connecticut, which lost 6,200 people. Mississippi, Hawaii, New Jersey, Alaska and Vermont each lost less than 5,000 residents.

Wisconsin "No-Fault" Divorce Attorneys - Crooks, Low & Connell, S.C.
Like all other states, Wisconsin law provides what is known as "no-fault" divorce. In fact, Wisconsin is purely a "no-fault" divorce state, which means that it is no longer possible to file for divorce in Wisconsin on fault-based grounds.
But, while this may sound like it limits spouses' options when it comes to filing for divorce, the reality is that the "no-fault" divorce system is intended to make it easier to end your marriage. If you are contemplating a divorce in Wisconsin, here are answers to five common questions about filing for a "no-fault" divorce.
1. What does it mean to file for a "no-fault" divorce?
In order to file for a "no-fault" divorce in Wisconsin, all that is required is for you to state that either (i) you and your spouse have reached "irreconcilable differences," or (ii) there has been an "irreparable breakdown of the marriage." In contrast to the old fault-based divorce system, you do not need to allege or prove any specific facts (e.g., that your spouse committed adultery) in order to obtain a "no-fault" divorce.
2. Does "no-fault" mean uncontested?
3. What if my spouse wants to stay married?
Since disagreeing over whether to get a divorce is itself considered an "irreconcilable difference," it generally is not possible for one spouse to prevent the other from obtaining a divorce in Wisconsin. As a result, as long as you follow all of the necessary steps in the process, you will ultimately be able to obtain a "no-fault" divorce.
4. What is the process for filing for a "no-fault" divorce?
Filing for a "no-fault" divorce in Wisconsin starts with filing a Summons and Petition for Divorce in the appropriate Wisconsin state court. You must then serve the divorce papers on your spouse. This can be done through a private process server or the sheriff's office if necessary; or, if your spouse agrees to the divorce, he or she can sign an Admission of Service.
From there, you will begin the process of working through the issues involved in finalizing your divorce.
5. How long does it take to get a "no-fault" divorce in Wisconsin?
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including your spouse's willingness to participate in mediation or the collaborative divorce process. However, at a minimum, Wisconsin law has a 120-day waiting period from the time of filing until a divorce can be made final. Generally speaking, getting divorced in Wisconsin typically takes around six to twelve months.
If you would like more information about filing for a "no-fault" divorce in Wisconsin, contact Crooks, Low & Connell, S.C. for a confidential consultation. To speak with an experienced divorce attorney at our offices in Wausau, WI, please call (715) 842-2291 or get in touch with us online today.

Moving from Ego-Centric to Eco-Centric
"The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego. The second half is going inward and letting go of it." -Carl Jung
Organizations are no different. The early years focus on identity, differentiation, and getting noticed. These are very important to getting established. However, for organizations to experience long-term success, they need to grow up and move from an ego-centric identity to an eco-centric identity.
So what is the difference?
"Ego" is defined as "self-important"
"Eco" is defined as "combining form."
The personal ego that Carl Jung was famous for discovering is not all bad. In fact without ego, we wouldn't get anything done. The ego helps us execute and "reality test" like the definition describes. However, if the ego is given too much authority to grow, it will dominate in a self-serving way and leave a path of destruction in its wake, much like our modern businesses have done without regard to it's effect on human development or the Earth.
MOVING FROM EGO-CENTRIC
Ego-centric companies embody a mindset that operates primarily from the left-side of the brain. This is the half that analyzes, controls, and sees a linear future. It thrives off of rational, reductionistic thinking. It's a binary, either or world. Either your in or your out. Either it works or it doesn't. It is very mechanistic and grew in popularity in the recent industrial age.
Ego-centric organizations experience trouble in primarily in two ways:
1. Increased Rigidity - when the ego goes unchecked, organizations grasp tightly to past patterns of success in light of evolving industry changes. They begin a slow and insidious process of rigidity much like a corpse. When the blood stops flowing, the body dies, and then stiffens.
2. Myopic Vision - control is good to an extent, but when organizations let the control dominate the culture and decision-making, they lose relevancy, stifle relationships, and lack a broader vision that is beneficial beyond the company's interests.
Example - Blockbuster Video experienced unprecedented growth with it's video store model. It was a household name and a destination for many families. I remember the Blockbuster stores being packed on Friday night. But, as all life shows us, the world evolves, and in order to thrive, you must adapt. When the DVD world began migrating to digital streaming, Blockbuster hung on too tightly to it's successful store model and failed to innovate with the changes. Meanwhile Netflix started gaining market share with it's DVD-shipping model and created a customer base that was ready to move to digital streaming when broadband became speedy enough. Netflix is now worth approximately $10 billion. Blockbuster went bankrupt. Blockbuster was operating in an ego-centric, too-big-to-fail mindset. It was this rigidity and myopic "brick-and-morter" vision that ultimately lead to its demise.
MOVING TO ECO-CENTRIC
Eco-centric companies operate from a mindset that includes both sides of the brain as well as a broader ability to sense and respond to ever-changing externalities.
Eco-centric companies lean more heavily on the use of right brain thinking, which tends to be more creative, inclusive, and collaborative. However, they don't eliminate the left brain logic altogether, but rather use both simultaneously and embrace the natural paradox and tension that occurs by acknowledging both.
Furthermore, eco-centric organizations recognize that thriving in uncertainty requires a move from mechanistic thinking to living systems thinking. The machine-like logic of the industrial age has permeated our culture in both our way of operating and our way of thinking. The ego thrives off of this linear logic because it provides very clear processes and ways to measure and grow. However, it has lead to massive destruction of the natural world with its hyper-competitive consumptive logic and created depressing work cultures that suppress human development and growth.
FROM BREAKDOWN TO BREAKTHROUGH
Moving from ego-centric to eco-centric is shifting to a mindset that is a more inclusive, less partial way of moving through the world. All living things teach us how to operate harmoniously in diversity. How to grow and adapt. How to collaborate and co-create. How to move through seasons with grace.
If we see ourselves and our organizations as "combining-form" we can begin to recognize opportunity in times of disturbance. We can let go of the iron grasp of control and focus on the here and now.
The companies that I work with that are moving in a direction of eco-centricity are experiencing a rare form of empowerment in their workplaces that is also spilling over into their home lives. They are dissolving the unconcious wall between their workplace personas and their home-life personas. There is a rare integration that is occurring that is not only visible, but felt.
Like Carl Jung stated, these companies are "going inward and letting go."
This shift in logic requires bravery to let go and breakdown old patterns and create new eco-centric ones. The good news is that much like the natural world and our current fall season teaches us, following the breakdown there is always a breakthrough.

27,608 kilometres over 6 different cities within 7 days, did the St Helena Tourism Roadshow set a new record, being the first to depart St Helena, visit six different cities and return to the Island all within 7 days, or if we were to be pedantic about it we could say 6 days and 23 hours and 20 minutes. These stats does not include intercity travel or walking, which the latter in some instances recorded by my Fitbit exceed 40,000 steps per day.
Paris Saint FM final interview
Not that record-breaking was the main objective of this venture as Island Images is extremely happy with the achievements of the week. After a stopover in Johannesburg, the ExCel in London became the first part of the adventure before moving on to Paris in France, a stopover in Zurich and then a flying visit to the RMS St Helena in Capetown Harbour, before returning to the Island via Johannesburg.
It's been 3 days since returning to the Island and having been able to catch up with everything and analyse the work done over the past week, it's pleasing to have already received enquiries from Tour Companies interested in using our destination management service and are looking forward to positive outcomes.
It is certain that each of the 11 strong delegation, benefited from this arduous excursion halfway around the world and that each will value in their own way. For island Images, the value comes in several different ways, more so from the knowledge and experience gained.


Business intelligence analysts are wasting time cleaning raw data. Why?
We hear a lot about the potential benefits of big data, but a new study reveals that those benefits are won at a cost of considerable time spent in cleaning up and preparing raw information.
The study by data integration company Xplenty surveyed over 200 business intelligence professionals and finds that a third of them spend 50-90 per cent of their time just cleaning raw data.
Looking at the 'extract, transform and load' (ETL) process, including preferences for on-premise or cloud-based solutions, perceived challenges, and the amount of time spent on ETL, the results show that 97 per cent of those surveyed say that ETL is critical for their business intelligence efforts.
More than half (51 per cent) of those polled say that they currently use on-premise ETL solutions. However, 51 per cent of these say that they are 'strongly considering' moving all ETL processes to the cloud.
"While many organisations still rely heavily on existing on-premise IT for ETL, the desire to shift to a more cloud-based model has never been stronger," says Yaniv Mor, CEO & Co-Founder of Xplenty. "Cloud ETL offers a host of benefits over on-premise, from increased agility in resource deployment to reduced costs. As such, the cloud is an increasingly attractive option from both a performance and operational perspective".
When asked what the biggest challenges were in making data ready for analysis, 55 per cent say integrating data from different platforms, followed by transforming, cleansing and formatting incoming data (39 per cent), integrating relational and non-relational data (32 per cent), and the sheer volume of data that needs to be managed (21 per cent) at any given time.
"BI professionals should be spending the majority of their time evaluating data and deciphering patterns gleaned through the analytics process - not readying data for analytics," adds Mor. "The more time they spend making raw data analytics usable, the less time they have to generate real value from it. We have to accelerate Big Data's 'time-to-insight,' boosting efficiency and bringing more immediate answers to an organisation so that they can more quickly take advantage of them".
More about how analysts are spending time as 'data janitors' is available on Xplenty's blog.

Q: How to Hide or remove a JLabel I have declared a JLable as follows;
l = new JLabel("Hello");
l.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
panel.add(l);

Now, i want to hide or remove it. What should be the method i should call ?
i tried l.removeAll(); <--- nothing hapend.
there's another one calle remove(int) which takes an int. But i am not sure what to pass as the parameter.
There's also something called hide(). but it's deprecated.

A: This may help you
Hiding Label
l.setVisible(false);

Removing from parent with passing the Label object as argument
panel.remove(l);

Remove all components
panel.removeAll();

A: Try panel.remove(l);
panel.removeAll() should also work, but that also removes other components which may have been added to the pannel.

A: you can try:
setVisible(false)

A:
i tried l.removeAll(); <--- nothing hapend.

you need to call to remove on JPanel which the JLabel was added to :
panel.remove(l);

//after that you need to call this to revalidate and repaint the panel
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();

just to hide and not to remove call
l.setVisible(false);

A: The javadoc of hide() tells setVisible() should be used instead. So try calling setVisible(false).

A: I faced the same problem in my project.
You should make sure about removing previous controls and refreshing the panel.
see this snippet code  :
panel.removeAll();

panel.revalidate();

Hope This Helps U
All The Best :)

A: You have to use the method getContentPane(). This way is possible to remove the element by the declaration name of the component.

private JFrame frame;
private JLabel label;
...

frame.getContentPane().remove(label);

This guide describes how to integrate Avi Vantage into an OpenShift v3 or Kubernetes cloud. The instructions in this guide can be used for installing Avi Vantage 16.3 and subsequent.
Avi Vantage is a software-based solution that provides real-time analytics as well as elastic application delivery services. Vantage optimizes core web-site functions, including SSL termination and load balancing. Vantage also provides access to network analytics, including end-to-end latency information for traffic between end-users and the load-balanced applications.
When deployed into an OpenShift/Kubernetes cloud, Avi Vantage performs as a fully distributed, virtualized system consisting of the Avi Controller and Avi Service Engines (SEs), each running as a separate container on OpenShift slave nodes.
The main components of the Avi Vantage solution, Avi Controllers and Service Engines (SEs), run as containers on OpenShift/Kubernetes minion nodes. For production deployment, a 3-instance Avi Controller cluster is recommended, with the each of the Avi Controller instances running in containers on separate physical nodes. After configuring the Avi Controller cluster for OpensShift/Kubernetes cloud, it deploys one Avi SE container on OpenShift/Kubernetes nodes. The nodes on which an Avi Controller runs must meet at least the minimum system requirements as defined in System Requirements: Hardware article.
Note: Just a single OpenShift/Kubernetes cloud is supported on an Avi Controller cluster.
The system time on all nodes must be synchronized. Use of a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server is recommended.
Each node host OS must be a Linux distribution running systemd.
The Avi Controller uses password-less sudo SSH to access all the OpenShift nodes in the cluster and create SEs on those nodes. The SSH user must have password-less sudo access to all three OpenShift nodes hosting the Avi Vantage cluster. The SSH method requires a public-private key pair. You can import an existing private key onto the Avi Controller or generate a new key pair. In either case, the public key must be in the /home/ssh_user/.ssh/authorized_keys file, where ssh_user is the SSH username on all OpenShift nodes. The Avi Controller setup wizard automatically stores the private key on the Avi Controller node when you import or generate the key.
Copy the .tgz package onto a node that will host the Avi Controller leader (for a Controller cluster, two followers run on separate nodes).
Note: Replace username@remotehost.com with your write-access username and password and the IP address or hostname for the host node.
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/docker run --name=avicontroller --privileged=true -p 5098:5098 -p 9080:9080 -p 9443:9443 -p 7443:7443 -p 5054:5054 -p 161:161 -d -t -e NUM_CPU=8 -e NUM_MEMG=24 -e DISK_GB=64 -e HTTP_PORT=9080 -e HTTPS_PORT=9443 -e SYSINT_PORT=7443 -e MANAGEMENT_IP=$$HOST_MANAGEMENT_IP -v /:/hostroot -v /var/lib/controller:/vol -v /var/run/fleet.sock:/var/run/fleet.sock -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock avinetworks/controller:$$TAG"
Note: If any of the port numbers for HTTP (9080), HTTPS (9443) or SystemInternal (7443) are already being used by other services on the host, please use alternate port numbers for the Docker port-mappings and update the appropriate environment variable names.
NUM_CPU: Sets the number of CPU cores/threads used by the Controller (8 in this example).
NUM_MEMG: Sets the memory allocation (24 GB in this example).
DISK_GB: Sets the disk allocation (64 GB in this example).
$$TAG: Replace with tag value of the Avi Vantage image in the Docker repository. For example, "16.3-5079-20160814.122257".
Initial startup and full system initialization takes around 10 minutes.
Note: avicontroller-node-ip is the management IP of the node on which the Controller is installed.
This section shows how to perform initial configuration of the Avi Controller using its deployment wizard. You will configure the following settings.
Step 1. Set a password for the admin user.
Step 2. Set DNS and NTP server information.
Step 4. Select No Orchestrator as infrastructure type.
Step 6. Respond 'No' to the multiple tenants question.
Configure a subnet and IP address pool for intra-cluster/east-west traffic and a subnet and IP address pool for external/north-south traffic. These IP addresses will be used as service virtual IPs (VIPs) or cluster IPs. The east-west subnet is an overlay or virtual subnet. The north-south subnet is the underlay subnet to which all the nodes/minions are connected. Use unused or spare IP addresses from the underlay subnet for the north-south VIP address pool.
Step 7. Navigate to Infrastructure > Networks and click Create.
Step 8. Create east-west network and add subnet with static IP range for IPs to be used by east-west virtual services.
Avi provides a drop-in replacement for kube-proxy for east-west services. There are 2 options for the subnet from which virtual IPs for east-west services are allocated.
OpenShift/Kubernetes allocates cluster IPs for east-west services from a virtual subnet. Avi can use the same cluster IPs allocated by OpenShift/Kubernetes and provide east-west proxy services. Standard tools such as oc/kubernetes display cluster IPs for services, so display and troubleshooting become easier. However, this requires that kube-proxy be disabled in the cluster on all nodes.
Alternately, Avi can be configured to provide east-west services on a non-overlapping virtual subnet different from the cluster IP subnet.
Kube-proxy is enabled: You must use a different subnet than the kube-proxy's cluster IP subnet. Please choose a /16 CIDR from the IPv4 private address space (172.16.0.0/16-172.31.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/16 or 192.168.0.0/24) that doesn't overlap with any address space that is already in use in your OpenShift nodes.
Kube-proxy is disabled: Replace kube-proxy in OpenShift Environment With Avi Vantage explains how to disable kube-proxy. With kube-proxy disabled, there's a choice of either using a separate subnet for east-west VIPs or using the same VIPs as cluster IPs allocated by OpenShift/Kubernetes.
To use the same VIPs as cluster IPs: Enter the same subnet as the cluster IP subnet e.g. 172.30.0.0/16 with no static IP address pool. East-west services simply use the allocated cluster IP as VIPs.
To use a different subnet for VIPs for east-west services: Enter the subnet information and create a IP address pool from the subnet. East-west services will be allocated VIPs from this IPAM pool.
Step 9. Create NorthSouth network and add subnet with static IP range for IPs to be used by north-south virtual services.
Step 10. Navigate to Templates > Profile > IPAM/DNS Profile and click Create.
Step 11. Give the profile the name EastWest. Select Type: Avi Vantage DNS. Fill in the required Domain Name field. Change the default TTL for all domains or just for this particular domain if desired. Click Save.
Step 12. Give the profile NorthSouth. Select Type: Avi Vantage DNS. Fill in the required Domain Name field. Change the default TTL for all domains or just for this particular domain if desired. Click Save.
Run below command and copy the contents of key file (id_rsa).
On Avi Controller, navigate to Administration > Settings > SSH Key Settings and click Create.
As shown below, paste the key copied in step above.
Avi Vantage supports two means by which to authenticate, certificates and service account tokens.
Use SCP to copy SSL client OpenShift certificate files from the master node. On OpenShift master nodes, the certificates are installed at /etc/origin/master. On Kubernetes master nodes, the certificates are installed at /etc/kubernetes/pki. If the Kubernetes API server is unauthenticated, this step can be skipped.
On Avi Controller, navigate to Templates > Security > SSL/TLS Certificates.
Click Create and select Root/Intermediate CA.
Name the cert and upload ca.crt file.
Click Create and select Application Certificate.
Please refer to the guide below, corresponding to the orchestrator.
OpenShift Service Account for Avi Vantage Authentication.
Kubernetes Service Account for Avi Vantage Authentication.
This section describes the configuration of the OpenShift/Kubernetes cloud. Here we are assuming that kube-proxy is disabled on OpenShift/Kubernetes nodes and the user is using Avi's internal DNS/IPAM.
Navigate to Infrastructure > Clouds.
Select OpenShift as infrastructure type and click Next.
Make sure 'Enable Event Subscription' is selected.
Select 'Client TLS Key and Certificate' and 'CA TLS Key and Certificate' from dropdown, if authentication is enabled.
Enter the OpenShift/Kubernetes API URL in the format shown below.
Select the SSH user configured previously.
Check "Cluster user overlay SDN" for overlay-based networking for the cluster, such as OpenShift(ovs), Nuage, Flannel and Weave. Uncheck for routed containers.
Set 'Proxy Service Placement Subnet' same as EastWest subnet configured earlier.
If kube-proxy is disabled, check the "Use Cluster IP of service as VIP for East/West". If kube-proxy is enabled, uncheck "Use Cluster IP of service as VIP for East/West". This KB describes how kube-proxy can be disabled.
Check "Always use Layer4 Health Monitoring" to use TCP health monitoring even for HTTP/HTTPS applications. Enable this setting if there are HTTP/HTTPS applications that do not respond to the default health monitor of "GET /" and it is inconvenient to override with custom health monitors using annotations.
Set IPAM Profile from the dropdown menu as shown.
The cloud status will show green (placement ready).
It will take around 5 min for the Avi Controller to download the SE docker image and start the containers.
Refer to OpenShift/Kubernetes Service Configuration on Vantage to learn how to create services and test traffic.
Refer to OpenShift Routes Virtual Service configuration to learn how to create and test traffic with OpenShift routes.

Get your hands on a bunch of new content. Relax, you'll have plenty of time to do it.
When Capybara Games released Super Time Force earlier this year for PC and consoles, it created a fun little platformer that twisted around the concept of using rewind to keep certain characters in play, while launching a surprising new offensive on enemies. Now, Steam owners will get another round of Time Force goodness.
The developer has announced that Super Time Force Ultra will release on Steam on August 25th, which features a number of new Ultra Force powers to take advantage of, as well as 50 new Helladeck challenge levels and three characters that have yet to be announced. There's no word on if the updated version will make its way to consoles.
Robert Workman posted a new article, Super Time Force Ultra arriving on Steam later this month.
