Last week VMware released the latest version of their Horizon 6 desktop virtualization product. It's been about a year since they first released Horizon 6-their product which combines VDI desktops with RDSH sessions and seamless application publishing.
Last week VMware released the latest version of their Horizon 6 desktop virtualization product.
Unfortunately while Horizon 6 was a good start, it lacked a lot of features that Citrix customers had grown accustomed to in XenApp, and it didn't look like Horizon 6 was really going to displace XenApp in any significant numbers in the enterprise based on the features that were there at the time.
Undaunted, VMware continued to update Horizon 6 (sometimes even under the radar?) throughout the year, culminating with a fairly massive update last week.
"Oh hey, did you know Horizon 6 has printing for RDSH sessions now?"
This is doubly awesome when you're trying to search for white papers or technical documentation about Horizon 6 and you don't realize that the paper you're reading is not about the version of the software you're using even though the paper is for Horizon 6 and you're using Horizon 6.
To that end, I'm launching a one-person campaign to call the newest release of Horizon 6 "Horizon 6.1."
HTML5 access for RDSH desktops (previous was just for VDI). This includes vGPU and vDGA applications.
Single-user Server 2012 R2 "desktop" support. (i.e. use a Server OS as your "VDI" desktop instead of a client OS). This is important for service provider license compliance.
Client drive redirection for RDSH sessions.
I'm still as excited about Horizon 6 as I was a year ago, though I haven't seen as much of it in the wild as I would have expected by now.
What are you finding? Are you using Horizon 6? Has anyone replaced XenApp with Horizon 6? If not, what would it take to switch? (Or are you currently happy with Citrix?) What's Horizon 6 still missing?
Horizon will be the 'de facto' standard...in time. The vision VMware is executing on is sound and is what the users and IT ultimately want... but will take some time. Which is understandable... customers need the time to fully understand the big picture and take on the transformation. Keep an eye on VMW's EUC practice! Big things are coming!
H6.1 is cool, not Citrix cool yet though. I mean they just got support for usb scanners? Citrix has had that for years and years now. I don't know how to code, however why wouldn't you just implement the whole USB stack for compatibility and move on with life? Don't give it to us in pieces. I've used Xendesktop with more weird USB devices than I care to remember and all have work seamlessly. Citrix has that remote device stuff down pat. I was extremely pleased to see what vSphere 6 now allows XD/XA Grid card support. That was huge, I honestly didn't think VMW was going to let Citrix play in their sandbox. Before us Citrix guys only had 1 option, XenServer, and who wants to go with another hypervisor if you're already happy with the one you got? Although I am XD at the moment, I could "possibly" see myself giving Horizon a real good tire kick in about 18 months so I have 1 throat to choke. I attend VMWorld yearly and go to alot of the EUC sessions as it does pertain to me even though XD is in the mix. Sometimes I chuckle to myself thinking, "Citrix has had this for years and the guy onstage is acting like he invented fire". With VMW picking up a few of the Citrix top brass in the past 18 months or so, I'm sure they're going hot and heavy writing their Citrix killer, however if the feature set is sub par, is there really a reason to switch?
I don't see a good enough reason to switch. Citrix is better, so why switch to something inferior, unless I want to consolidate on VMware as a single throat to choke? Price pressure on Citrix to get platinum license costs down is something that commoditization of the VDI stack is useful for, so yeah in that respect keep going VMware. The only things that are worth considering from VMware are the newer technologies from VMware where Citrix does add enough or any value.
Hi Nick- You make some fair and valid points, no doubt.
Though, let me suggest... VMware made the right choice to get the published app support out when they did. Even though there is some functionality missing that's been out for some time now...there are MANY customers who don't need many of the ones missing. And so, VMW answered the market NOW... which has been asking for an alternative for quite some time.
Plus, lets not kid ourselves...VMW isn't going to sit back... the pace of innovation at VMW is staggering!! Overall feature set will be on par and surpass in short order.
Good comments Phil, however you can't go to your end users with architecture, infrastructure, the SDDC slide from VMWorld. That doesn't work in the real world, that's marketing fodder. When I can put check boxes in all of the features I need to support my customers with their daily tasks, then absolutely H6.1 will get an honest tire kicking by me. I do agree that VMW is writing code at an amazing pace for Horizon and I hope they do continue going after Citrix's 100M+ licenses in use as that will cause Citrix to move faster as well and all of this will benefit the consumer in the long run.
@PhilT3 - So what you are saying is that great marketing and perception is sometimes better then reality? you could be right but thankfully customers are more savvy then that.
I agree with Marek - @PhilT3 - the feature to feature comparison game is not a leapfrog business in this case. VMware are making strides, but ultimately they are still chasing Citrix's tail lights when it comes to some of the most basic user functionality. What employees do care about is having the tools to get their job done - having a good hypervisor with some integrated DC automation tools is of no interest to them. IMHO its ludicrous to suggest otherwise.
any of these updates for PCoIP connections or mostly just for people using remote published apps over RDP?
Wow...now there is previous Horizon 6 , Current Horizon 6 and there will be next Horizon 6.
May be the next horizon 6 will support HDX connections as well.

CSNWashington.com Capitals Insider Chuck Gormley will evaluate the 2011-12 performance of each player on the Caps roster. One breakdown will occur every weekday in alphabetical order. Today: John Carlson
John CarlsonPosition: Defense
HtWt: 6-3, 212
Assists: 23
Penalty minutes: 22
Plus-Minus: Minus-15
Average Ice Time: 21:51
Contract Status: Restricted Free Agent 845,833 cap hit in 2011-12
Strengths: Among Caps defensemen, Carlson ranked second behind Dennis Wideman in goals, assists, points and ice time. He led the team in blocked shots in both the regular season 153 and playoffs 38. He is one of just three Capitals Karl Alzner and Brooks Laich are the others who have played in all 82 games in each of the past two seasons. Carlson has a deceptively hard and accurate shot and he paired up with Alzner to form a strong top defensive unit down the stretch and in the playoffs.
Weaknesses: Despite his strong offensive numbers, Carlson suffered through bouts of inconsistency during the regular season, a normal occurrence for a second-year player. His minus-15 was tied for team worst and his occasional defensive lapses left fans wanting more.
Memorable Moment on the ice: On Dec. 5, Carlson recorded a career-high three assists and was a plus-3, leading the Capitals to a rally that fell just short in a 5-4 loss to the Florida Panthers. The following week he was named the NHLs Third Star of the Week with one goal and six assists in a three-game stretch in which his ice time increased dramatically under Dale Hunter.
Memorable Moment off the ice: Before the Capitals faced off against the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals Carlson was asked if he was a Rangers fan growing up in northern New Jersey. No, I didn't like them, said Carlson, who was born in Natlick, Mass., and attended high school in Metuchen, N.J. I was pretty much a Bruins fan, actually, and then I kind of adapted a little bit to the Devils because of living near them and being able to catch a few games. But never really a Rangers fan, no.
2012-13 Expectations: With Wideman likely to sign elsewhere on July 1 the Capitals will need to re-sign Carlson and rely on him to build on the 32-point season he had in 2011-12. If he can turn around his plus-minus he went from plus-21 as a rookie to minus-15 this season Carlson and Alzner have a chance to be one of the NHLs top defensive units.
Capitals Mailbag Part 1: Did the Caps address all of their weaknesses?
By J.J. Regan July 17, 2019 12:57 PM
It's time for a new Capitals mailbag! Check out Part 1 below.
Have a Caps question you want answered in the next mailbag? Send it on Twitter using #CapsMailNBC or by email to CapitalsMailbag@gmail.com.
Please note, some questions have been edited for clarity.
John F. writes: Can Alex Ovechkin break Wayne Gretzky's career goals record? What will it take?
It will take 237 more goals.
OK, but what does that mean exactly? Ovechkin will turn 34 before the start of the season. Let's say he plays seven more seasons and retires when he is 40. He would have to average 34 goals per year to do that.
That seems doable for Ovechkin, but you have to remember that Father Time is undefeated. At some point the production will decrease. You also have to wonder if he will even play that long. That's no guarantee. If he does, it would be hard for him to return to Russia to play in the KHL, which many believe he would want to do given his outspoken pride for his home country.
For this to be a realistic possibility, it is going to require at least one more 45-50 goal season and probably another 40 goal season on top of that. He is going to have to get a good chunk of goals this year while he is still productive because eventually he is not going to be able to score 50 goals anymore. Then he won't be able to score 40, and so on.
I can't sit here and tell you that it is impossible because Ovechkin keeps redefining what is possible for a goal scorer over 30. Having said that, I still am not willing to say I think he will do it. Considering we all marvel at what he has been able to do the last two seasons and he still sits over 200 goals away, I still have my money on the Great One keeping his record.
Blake B. writes: The Capitals appear to have addressed all of their necessities this offseason (i.e. filling their 3rd and 4th lines, unloading salary and making tough but necessary trades). What are the biggest question marks, uncertainties and holes entering the 2019-2020 season?
There are a few and some of your fellow readers asked about them as well this week. For me, depth offense is a concern. The Caps got only five goals from their bottom-six in seven playoff games against the Carolina Hurricanes. One goal was an empty-netter, one was a penalty shot and the remaining three came from Brett Connolly and Andre Burakovsky, who are both gone. Offensively, the team did not get better, so where are those goals going to come from? More on this later.
Players like Connolly and Burakovsky provided injury insurance. Both players could plug into the top-six in case of injury. Hagelin and Panik now look like those players, but both look like offensive downgrades in that respect.
On defense, the team looks pretty set assuming Nick Jensen can handle a top-four role. I wrote about this as part of our "Burning Questions" series we are currently running. The team's defense truly hinges on Jensen. If he plays well, you have a clear top-four with an upgraded bottom pair thanks to the acquisition of Gudas. If Jensen does not play well, you have a major hole on the blue line and no clear candidate to fill it, plus a defenseman with three more years on his contract after this season.
And then there is the power play. Brian MacLellan focused on defense in the offseason, so the team should be improved in that area and on the penalty kill. The sacrifice was losing some offensive depth, but you can potentially make that up if the team rebounds on the power play. More on this later too.
Ben C. writes: Our bottom-six seems to be better defensively now. How do you think they will contribute offensively?
I also wrote about this very subject for our "Burning Questions" series. Hagelin is a very versatile player, but offense is not his strong suit. He managed only five goals and 19 total points last season. He has never scored 20 goals in any season of his career and has reached 30 points only once in the past five years. Eller has tallied 38 and 36 points in each of the past two seasons, the best two seasons of his career. But, like Hagelin, he has never scored 20 goals at any point in his career. Panik scored 20 goals only once in 2016-17 when he was with the Chicago Blackhawks and playing on a line with Jonathan Toews. Last season with the Arizona Coyotes, he totaled 14 goals and 19 assists.
Simply put, there is no way a third line of Hagelin, Eller and Panik will produce as much offensively as the third line did last year. The good news, however, is that If the team improved defensively as much as they hope, they shouldn't need to.
Ben R. writes: Do you anticipate any changes to how the PP gets run this year considering how inconsistent it was last year either a new scheme or different personnel?
The obvious glaring issue with the power play last season was zone entry, so fingers crossed that this will lead the team to scrap the horrendous slingshot which doesn't work and is ugly to watch. Considering so many other teams utilize it as well, however, I am doubtful they will, but one can hope.
I wonder if Tom Wilson will see more time in T.J. Oshie's spot in the slot. Wilson does not play that spot as well as Oshie does, but if the team does move on from the slingshot, then the dump-in may be more common and you need that bigger body to fight for the pucks in the corners and behind the goal line to keep possession.
Really, everything depends on how the team decides to fix its zone entry problem. If it remains status quo, then I do not see any changes. If they finally realize how awful the slingshot truly is, then you have to work on a new method for zone entry and put together the best personnel to operate it.
Chas L. writes: With T.J. Oshie possibly looking at less playing time on the third line, is it time for the Caps to bring up a prospect or two? With all the new free agent additions, the Caps all together have gotten a lot older age wise. Would it hurt to maybe push down players like Lars Eller and Oshie and bring up some young prospects?
A few things. First, moving Oshie down to the third line was more realistic before they lost so much offensive depth. I have written on this topic before about how I believe reducing Oshie's minutes would be beneficial given his playing style, but I am not sure how realistic an option this is when the two candidates to replace him would be Hagelin and Panik.
Hagelin's offense is a bit too limited for me to put him in the top-six when the team is at full strength. He is a solid replacement player if there is an injury in the top-six, but otherwise that is not ideal. Panik, on the other hand, is an unknown coming in as a free agent.
Second, bringing in prospects is a great option if you have prospects ready to make the jump. The Caps do not think they do and they showed that with all the depth signings they made in the offseason. You do not sign Panik or Garnet Hathaway for four years if you think Axel Jonsson-Fjallby and Shane Gersich are going to be taking their jobs at the start of the season.
MacLellan was probably hoping more prospects would be ready for the NHL as they would have been cheap replacements for the players lost, but I am not sure anyone is ready to make that jump yet.
Third, part of the appeal of pushing Oshie to the third line, if that was still a realistic possibility, would be to play him with Eller. They have great chemistry together and this would be a formidable third line. Pushing Eller to the fourth not only would push Nic Dowd out of the lineup, but it would also waste Eller's skill. There comes a point where a team can have too much depth and it becomes a waste. If Washington had several home-grown centers knocking on the door, trading Eller would be a more realistic possibility. As of now, however, that is not the case.
John F. writes: Not to go full-Don Cherry, but is the lack of "good Canadian boys" on the team a concern? (For the record: I don't think it is).
No. Where players are from is completely irrelevant. It is foolish and I would argue racist to think having one specific nationality is the key to winning. I can take Don Cherry's "old man yelling at clouds" takes because those are harmless. His blind support of all things Canadian while downplaying players of other nationalities, however, is infuriating to me.
Cherry may want to believe the Caps won the Stanley Cup because of Tom Wilson and Braden Holtby, but this completely ignores the all-time great Russian who won the Conn Smythe, a Russian who led the team in scoring, a future Hall of Fame Swedish center, a top defensive pairing with an American and a Czech and a Dane who scored the Cup clinching goal.
This is a ridiculous sentiment that for some reason lingers in Canada, where no team has won a Stanley Cup since 1993, but I am sure that is just because none of those teams had enough Canadian players.

20 Burning Capitals Questions: Can Nick Jensen handle a top-four role in Washington?
By J.J. Regan July 17, 2019 10:00 AM
The long, endless summer is only halfway done. The Capitals last played a game on April 24 and will not play another one until Oct. 2.
But with free agency and the NHL Draft behind them now, the 2019-2020 roster is almost set and it won't be long until players begin trickling back onto the ice in Arlington for informal workouts.
With that in mind, and given the roasting temperatures outside, for the next four weeks NBC Sports Washington will look at 20 burning questions facing the Capitals as they look to rebound from an early exit from the Stanley Cup playoffs, keep alive their Metropolitan Division title streak and get back to their championship form of 2018.
The list will look at potential individual milestones, roster questions, prospects who might help and star players with uncertain futures. Today we look at one of the biggest questions on the team's defense, can Nick Jensen handle a top-four role?
When the Caps acquired Jensen at the trade deadline and immediately re-signed him for four years, the implication was clear. Suddenly, Matt Niskanen and his $5.75 million cap hit became expendable.
With the team expected to be hard up against the salary cap in the offseason, the salary would need to be moved. Sure enough, Niskanen was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for Radko Gudas.
Gudas is a good pick up for the third-pair, but this trade is a move that only makes sense if you have a top-four defenseman to replace Niskanen on the right. Gudas, Jensen and John Carlson's are the team's three right-handed shots. Carlson is obviously cemented on the top pairing and Gudas is headed to the third. That leaves Jensen as the only real option on the second pair. After seeing him struggle since coming to Washington at the trade deadline, it is fair to be a little worried.
Jensen showed last season that he can be a top-four defenseman in the NHL while with the Detroit Red Wings. He was a healthy scratch on opening night, but he made sure he was not scratched again by the Red Wings and averaged 20:48 of ice-time over 60 games before he was traded.
Sure, a lack of defensive depth helped, but Jensen's play was what earned him that spot more than anything else and it is why Washington traded for him and re-signed him before he ever played a game for the Caps.
But when he got to Washington, Jensen started struggling. An in-season trade can often be difficult with players forced to adjust to a new team and new system. Jensen certainly will not be the last trade deadline acquisition to struggle to make that transition.
"I think there was a period of adjustment where coaches were asking him to play a different system in a different way than he's played," Brian MacLellan said at the team's breakdown day. "The good games were really good, I thought. And the down games were him trying to figure out system stuff and individual stuff that they were wanting him to do on the ice."
In Detroit, defensemen do not shift too much from side to side. The blueliners have their side and they skate straight up and down the ice. In Washington, however, defensemen are constantly switching sides during play and you are expected to cover whatever side you are on when the puck begins moving back down towards the defensive zone.
Jensen is a right-shot defenseman and was not at all comfortable playing on the left. That is not uncommon. There are a lot more left-shot defensemen than righties and often if you see a player playing his off-side, it is a lefty playing on the right. Righties just are not expected to play on the left all that often because there are fewer of them. For Jensen, even having to shift over to the left within a play proved difficult.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Warren Foegele used this to his advantage in a regular season game against Washington in which he turned Jensen inside-out.
WARREN FOEGELE. WHOA. He dances around Jensen for a highlight reel goal to make it 2-1 Hurricanes over the Capitals in the second period. pic.twitter.com/HkAg3xHpRU
— Brett Finger (@brett_finger) March 29, 2019
When you watch closely, this play is less about the fancy stickwork of Foegele and more about a defenseman who does not look comfortable at all playing on the left.
It is important to clarify what we are talking about here. The Caps are not asking Jensen to be a left defenseman. That would not be a great situation and there would be no guarantee he would ever get to the point where he could be a top-four defenseman playing on his off-side. The team's system simply allows for defensemen to cycle from side-to-side situationally. When the opposition transitions down the ice, you may not have the opportunity to switch back to your original side and are instead expected to defend that transition from whichever side you are on. This would largely apply to quick transitions. Adjusting to that is not at all impossible and Jensen's ability to do so will be absolutely critical for the team's success next season.
The Niskanen trade certainly looks like a shrewd move by MacLellan as it not only saved the team money, but also upgraded the bottom pair. The move only makes sense, however, if and only if it did not leave the team with a hole in the top-four. In that case, the team will have gotten worse defensively, not better.
With a full offseason and training camp to prepare, Jensen should look far more comfortable within the system. As last season's camp with Detroit showed, he can be prone to slow starts, but we should know by Thanksgiving if Jensen is starting to feel at home with Washington or if the defense is in serious trouble.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is used primarily as a bleaching agent in the pulp and paper industry for elemental chlorine free (ECF) bleaching.
Chlorine dioxide has a strong absorption between 350 and 500nm that the Kemtrak DCP007 can measure – from ultra low parts per million concentrations when used for gas detection or disinfection, to high concentration solutions used for the bleaching of pulp (>20 g/L).
The Kemtrak DCP007 can be used to optimize the reaction efficiency of ClO2 generation, improve the control of vent-gas scrubbers to reduce emissions into the atmosphere and for monitoring the final concentration of chlorine dioxide product sent to the bleaching plant.
Chlorine dioxide is an aggressive chemical substance – all wetted parts of the Kemtrak DCP007 flow cell are manufactured from corrosion resistant materials, such as PTFE, titanium and sapphire.

Police Costing – The Best Deal?
As mentioned in the post, Meloche Wants Deputy Mayor Seat, Meloche referenced the deal with Windsor Police to take over policing Amherstburg.
According to the RTT article, Meloche said Essex had $3.9 million in policing costs in 2018 compared to Amherstburg's $5.8 million.
The article continued, "Overall, we thought it's a good deal for Amherstburg as a whole," he said, noting there are $14 million in potential savings over the next 20 years.
Essex paid $1.9 million less on policing than Amherstburg.
Amherstburg's $5.8 million minus $700,000.00 potential annual savings for 20 years will cost taxpayers $102 million.
Essex's $3.9 million will cost taxpayers $78 million in 20 years.
While Amherstburg is expected to save $14 million, Essex taxpayers will spend $24 million less than us over the same time period.
I maintain that because Amherstburg did not obtain an OPP costing, despite carrying two motions to do so, Amherstburg taxpayers missed the opportunity to know if more savings were possible.
On February 27, 2018, I requested CAO John Miceli answer three questions for me to post to theburgwatch.
Were any Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services Police Service Advisors involved in the police costing process?
Would you provide me with a copy of Berthiaume's Completed Form as requested by the OPP?
Would you confirm whether or not Council's two motions to obtain an OPP costing were rescinded?
On March 1, I emailed Miceli, cc council, that if he was unavailable to respond to my media questions, if he would please forward them to someone who can.
"If you review my questions, the first involves Ministry Advisors, as mentioned in the OACP Guidebook you relied on and i'm merely asking if any were involved in the police costing process, in other words, the costing process the town undertook.
i conclude from your response that Berthiaume never did complete the form for the OPP; did he complete an equivalent form for Windsor?
As reported on Windsorite.ca, Town Council decided in favour of a 20 year contract with Windsor Police.
Election day is October 22, 2018.
Police Costing Process – Transparent and Accountable?
As happy as I would be to be rid of Berthiaume, the Amherstburg police service and board, I fail to see how a contract with Windsor police will benefit the ratepayers, never mind entrenching a 20 year contract.
I wonder what all of you would say about such a contract if you were campaigning against a current council right now.
In my opinion, this costing process has not been transparent and it lacked accountability and responsibility.
Shortly after being elected, council was committed to obtaining all police costing comparisons.
The media reported that a committee was established to discuss costings.
At the same time, the JPAC recommended that administration be directed to, in part, develop an RFP for Windsor and LaSalle to respond to and work with the OPP on the OPP costing.
It appeared the OPP would still be an option and that council was committed to its two motions to obtain an OPP costing despite the committee determining earlier the OPP costing was not feasible.
Council should have held administration and the JPAC accountable for not implementing council's motions.
The River Town Times reported Town council wants to make the decision once and doesn't want to accept or reject any proposal without knowing all the details, DiCarlo said. "It was always council's position to look at all of the options at the same time," he said. "The goal is to have all of the information in front of us." (emphasis added).
In the end, taxpayers were denied an opportunity to provide input on a comparison of all policing costs and options and instead were reduced to submitting subjective and emotional responses to a limited choice.
Phipps Flip Flops – Will The Town Pay Two CAOs?
The town advertised for a new CAO and invited applicants to submit a resume by June 30.
In a July 16 Windsor Star article, Phipps said he's staying put. Candidates for the position are undergoing a council approved vetting process that includes a five-member panel made up of Phipps, human resources manager Michelle Rose, another county CAO that Phipps wouldn't identify, a "fairly senior" local business leader and a resident.
Why was a panel needed? How was the panel selected? What are the members' qualifications? Was there an Information and Privacy Commissioner privacy assessment, considering residents are panel members who will access personal information?
The article ends with a quote from Phipps: "So we thought, if we can get the right person that at least this council is satisfied with … I have faith we'll get the right person," he said.
Who is "we?" Has Council agreed to rescind his notice to leave plus hire a new CAO?
In a November 20, 2013 Windsor Star article, Julie Kotsis reported Hurst cast the deciding vote to oppose the motion to request an independent audit and called it the beginning of the "silly season" noting that an election was coming up next year.
Phipps' March 21, 2014 Report To Council included a recommendation that, "Council approve, in principle, moving forward with the Financial Management and Practices Review for the Town of Amherstburg with the costs of the Review being borne by the municipality. Council unanimously agreed.
The majority of town councillors voted not to relinquish the town's shares. Read the story at The Windsor Star.
Hurst cast the deciding vote to oppose and called it the beginning of the "silly season" noting that an election was coming up next year.
With the exception of Councillor Diane Pouget, shame on council for putting accessibility after the cart. In particular, shame on Councillor Bart DiPasquale, a member of the town's accessibility advisory committee, for not representing the rights of residents with disabilities.
After having appeared before council for the past ten years to raise accessibility issues, critique the town's annual accessibility plan, and to question the town's commitment to accessibility, I once again question council's rationale for its action – the town has an obligation to ensure the safety of all its residents, including persons with disabilities and equal access to its amenities.
Randy Fasan, as a business owner, is also subject to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and its Regulations and the Ontario Human Rights Code. Will customers with disabilities be able to access his business, provide feedback in an accessible manner and will he change his website to make it accessible?
Fasan is quoted as saying, "if I have to abide by these bylaws as they stand today I am going to have to move to another town or discontinue any type of business to Amherstburg." I'd like to know how he assumed he did not have to comply with the bylaw in the first place.
Making an amendment to exempt a business from a bylaw that has not been prosecuted while operating in violation of the bylaw for years sets a precedent for anyone to ignore any town bylaw and illustrates council's disregard for the safety of its residents.
According to the Amherstburg Echo, Administration will meet with horse and buggy owner, Randy Fasan, to allow him to continue his business in the Navy Yard Park. Fasan acknowledged the park's passive nature and advised that he's "worked with the parks department for the last few years." That work included widening of sidewalks and working on improving turns for the horses and carriage.
Amherstburg council hires Levack to fill in for ailing CAO.
At the April 18, 2011 Council Meeting, Council directed Administration to proceed with installation of the hand railings in Rink A of the United Communities Credit Union for a cost of no more than $4,000.00.

Q: XMLHTTPRequest Status 0 In Unusual Circumstances I've been working on an AJAX script to perform some simple test manipulations via the Node.JS MongoDB driver. This script is causing me no end of headaches, for the following reasons:

*

*When I run the script natively in the node.js command prompt, it runs to completion, and performs all of the operations I intend it to. A full trace of its activity in Chrome's Node Inspector reveals that it does indeed perform as intended.

*Having debugged the script via Node Inspector, I then wrote a simple test page to call that script via AJAX. Despite taking care to use proper asynchronous callbacks, the script appears to hold up the server for an inordinate period of time, and returns with an HTTP status code of 0.

*Having searched Stack Overflow for similar issues, the threads I surveyed all issue the same message - that this is a CORS problem. BUT ... if this was a CORS problem, NONE of the other AJAX scripts in the same directory would work, and would presumably return the same HTTP status code of 0.

*Firing up a new, simpler test script to see if MongoDB connections are somehow interfering with my node.js server, this new script did NOT trigger an HTTP status code of 0, but instead returned as expected, with the HTTP status code of 200. This new test script resides in the same directory as the troublesome script, so it can't be a CORS issue.

*Likewise, experimentally calling other scripts in the same directory via AJAX yields the same result - all the other scripts return HTTP 200 as expected.
So, why is this one script returning with an HTTP status of 0, while every other script in the same directory returns with an HTTP status of 200?
At this point, no doubt people will ask me to show the code. However, there's a slight problem. The script in question is 749 lines long, and I suspect that [1] it'll be impossible to pinpoint the error without embedding the entire code file in this question, and [2] numerous individuals will berate me for doing so. The fact that the script runs without errors in Node Inspector also makes this puzzling. I can edit this question and include all of that code if asked, but given what I've stated above, I have no idea where to begin pinpointing the error in that code, so there's no way I can select parts of it that might be problematic, especially in the light of the fact that it runs to completion, without error, in Node Inspector via the node.js command prompt.
Just in case this issue is platform specific, I'm running Node V8.11.3 LTS and MongoDB 4.0 on Windows 7 64-bit.

ATLAS (Alghanim Freight) in Kuwait are very competent and experienced in a range of freight and logistics services. They were recently assigned the task to collect dismantled industrial cleaning equipment from a project site and move it back to Barcelona in Spain by sea.
The job scope included loading the equipment from the project site in Kuwait, transportation to their warehouse for identification and loading into open-top containers before shipping to Spain. The ATLAS transportation department safely and successfully collected the cargo from the project site in compliance with specific safety requirements.


Tried searching but could not find a thread on this topic.
Have a 2006 1.5 Impreza and need to install DRL (Daytime running lights) as the law changed here on 1st Jan (must have DRLs or headlights on during the day).
I have bought DRL LED lights and a controller.
I'd rather not cut into wires, so wanted to know the best solution for this installation.
Id suggest mounting the controller module in front of the battery, behind the headlight that side so all your wiring is in one area at least.


Do spider webs effect leafcutter bees?
Throughout the season, it is likely you may get a spider or two take up residence in your Leafcutter Bee House. While the spiders themselves do not pose a direct threat to the leafcutter bees, their webs can block entry tunnels - therefore it's recommended to gently brush them away from time-to-time. Remember: DO NOT use any spider sprays or chemicals as they may have a devastating effect on your leafcutter bees.


While I look for work, I am simultaneously building a company based on an idea a buddy of mine and I had about two years ago. This new venture has afforded me the opportunity to test my business acumen as well as creativity.
Most people don't know what they want or what they enjoy doing. They don't know what they value or believe in. They aren't sure where they are going and how to get there. This frustration of not knowing freezes people from taking the risk and having the courage to find out what they would love to do.

Ave Maria University (AMU) is a private Catholic university in Ave Maria, Florida. Ave Maria University shares its history with the former Ave Maria College in Ypsilanti, Michigan, which was founded in 1998 and closed in 2007.[5] The school was founded by Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza.
In 2016, the enrollment was 1,100, 80 percent of whom were Catholic.[6]

Ave Maria College[edit]
Ave Maria College was founded by Catholic philanthropist and former Domino's Pizza owner and founder Tom Monaghan on March 19, 1998, occupying two former elementary school buildings in Ypsilanti, Michigan near the campus of Eastern Michigan University.[7]
Monaghan's goal was to create a Roman Catholic university faithful to the magisterium of the Catholic Church, providing a liberal arts education in a Catholic environment. He originally intended to construct a full college campus on his 280-acre (1.1 km2) property in nearby Ann Arbor, known as Domino's Farms.[7] The plan for the Ann Arbor campus also included a 25-story crucifix, a size about half the height of the Washington Monument.[7]
Interim Naples campus[edit]
After being denied zoning approval by Ann Arbor Township to build a larger campus near Domino's Farms, Monaghan decided to move the college to Florida. Monaghan initiated the founding of the Florida institution Ave Maria University with a donation of $250 million.[8][9] In August 2003, the University opened an interim campus in The Vineyards in Naples, Florida, enrolling some 100 undergraduate students, 75 of whom were freshmen.[8] While occupying the interim campus, Monahgan focused efforts on constructing a new campus and planned community nearby known as Ave Maria, Florida. The Barron Collier family donated the land in southwest Florida for the campus, joining Monaghan in the enterprise as 50% partner.
While the infrastructure of the new campus and town were being completed in early 2007, the Ypsilanti campus was also closing at the end of the 2006–2007 academic year. Monaghan planned to have most of the staff transferred to the Florida location. The Michigan location remained open until students graduated or transferred, leaving just three students for the final year and a number of the remaining staff.[10]
Ave Maria campus[edit]
The university moved from the temporary facility to the new campus in 2007.[11] In its first year at the new campus the university enrolled about 450 undergraduates and 150 graduate students. Bishop Frank Dewane, the local Catholic ordinary, formally dedicated the university in 2008.[12]
In March 2007, the original provost of the university, Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J., was dismissed by Monaghan for undisclosed reasons.[13] In a formal statement, Monaghan, in his role as chancellor, stated that the dismissal was because of "irreconcilable differences over administrative policies and practices."[14] Immediately, the school's first-ever student protests were mounted in support of Fessio.[15] Outside observers were critical: editor Philip F. Lawler of the conservative Catholic World News said the firing was "institutional suicide", and that if a respected theologian such as Fessio could be fired then no others would want to fill the position.[15] Monaghan reinstated Fessio the next day as theologian-in-residence. He was dismissed from that position in 2009, stating he was fired because of a conversation he had with Academic Vice President Jack Sites about administrative policies harming the university's finances.[16][17] He said his firing was "another mistake in a long series of unwise decisions" but that he would continue to guide students to AMU.[17] The provost position remains vacant.[18]
Monaghan expects to continue expanding the university and hopes to one day have an enrollment over 5,000, Division I athletics and an academic reputation as "a Catholic Ivy,".[11] In 2011, James Towey, former Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and former President of Saint Vincent College, was named the president of Ave Maria University after a unanimous vote by the AMU Board of Trustees. He also assumed the role of CEO, in the place of Monaghan, who remains the Chancellor.[19]
The 2008 financial crisis took a toll on Ave Maria's finances. Monaghan said in 2012 that Ave Maria's construction cost estimates doubled over three years, requiring the university to cut back on planned buildings. The troubled Florida real estate market also meant that Ave Maria School of Law had to shelve its plans for a building in Ave Maria, as its existing campus was worth less than was paid for it.[20] According to Towey, for a period of time the University survived through Monaghan's funding of a ten million dollar annual deficit. Towey credits his efforts at controlling financing costs, along with increased contributions, with placing the University back on a firm financial footing by 2014.[6]
In February 2012, Ave Maria made national news when it filed its lawsuit Ave Maria University v. Sebelius,[21] suing the government over the US Health and Human Services mandate by claiming that it would force the university to forego its religious freedom. It became the second college to do so, and was followed by several others, including the Franciscan University of Steubenville and the University of Notre Dame. The lawsuit is represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.[22] In June 2012, President Towey wrote that the university would "vigorously prosecute its lawsuit".[23] In 2016, the Supreme Court unanimously sent the case back to federal appeals court to find a solution that would both honor religious organizations objections and provide their employees with birth control. Ave Maria administrators celebrated the decision as a "great victory."[24][25]
The university's growth has fallen short of its stated goal of "growing the University's undergraduate enrollment at its main campus in Florida to approximately 1,700 students by the fall of 2016"[26] and 1,500 by the year 2020.[27][28]
The university ran a satellite campus in Nicaragua called the Ave Maria University-Latin American Campus for 13 years, and then sold it to Keiser University in July 2013.[29][30][failed verification]
Founder's goals[edit]
In a May 2004 speech, Monaghan expressed his wish to have the new town and university campus be free from pre-marital sex, contraceptives and pornography.[31][32] This elicited sharply critical statements from the international press, who saw such proposed restrictions as violations of civil liberties.[33] Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union branch in Florida, challenged the legality of the restriction of sales of contraceptives.[34] He said, "This is not just about the sale of contraceptives in the local pharmacy, it is about whether in an incorporated town there will be a fusion of religion and government."[35] An opinion column in The Wall Street Journal quoted an Ave Maria faculty member[according to whom?] who called it a "Catholic Jonestown".[31] Frances Kissling of Catholics for Choice compared Monaghan's civic vision to Islamic fundamentalism, and called it "un-American".[36] In response, Monaghan announced a milder form of civic planning in which the town could mostly grow on its own, except that it would not have sex shops or strip clubs, and store owners would be asked rather than ordered not to sell contraceptives or porn. Contraception and porn would still be banned from the university.[37]
Ave Maria University currently offers 33 undergraduate and three graduate degrees.[38][39] Graduate programs include M.A. and Ph.D. studies in Theology and a Master of Theological Studies for non-traditional students.[40] Undergraduate students must complete a core curriculum of 14 required courses in philosophy, theology, composition, science, math, history, political science, and a foreign language.[41]
In 2012 U.S. News & World Report reported that the university had a student–teacher ratio of 12:1, with 696 undergraduate students paying an average of $19,440 in tuition and fees for the school year 2011–2012, with some also paying $8,350 for a dorm room and meals. The university's rating was in "Tier 2", below 178 other American colleges ranked in "Tier 1".[42]
In 2015, College Factual ranked Ave Maria University as a Top 10 college in the state of Florida.[43] In December 2015, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools renewed Ave Maria University's accreditation.[44]
Law school[edit]
Main article: Ave Maria School of Law
Although they were both established by Monaghan, the Ave Maria School of Law and Ave Maria University are separate entities. The Ave Maria School of Law is controlled by a board that is independent of AMU. Ave Maria School of Law is a fully American Bar Association-accredited Catholic law school, located on a campus in Naples, Florida.[45] It has a current enrollment of 375 students and offers a Juris Doctor (J.D.) program.[46]
After receiving accreditation in 2005, the law school was moved by Monaghan from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to the north side of Naples, Florida. Many students chose not to continue their studies, and the school's high ranking with U.S. News & World Report dropped dramatically, down to the lowest ranked level (tier 4) from 2008 to 2011, then failing to achieve any ranking in 2012.[47] In 2014, the law school regained its tier 4 position.[48]
Accreditation[edit]
In June 2010, the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) declared that Ave Maria had obtained "accredited membership" status. This allows the university to award bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees accredited by the SACS.[49] The university had previously received full accreditation from the American Academy for Liberal Education (AALE) in June 2008.[50] On October 7, 2011, the local ordinary, Bishop Frank Joseph Dewane, formally recognized the institution as a Catholic university pursuant to the code of canon law. In December 2015, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools reaffirmed Ave Maria University's accreditation.[44]
Study abroad[edit]
Main article: Ave Maria University-Latin American Campus
Ave Maria University offered study abroad programs in Gaming, Austria and in San Marcos, Nicaragua. Instruction was conducted in English. The Austrian program required an additional $1,750 beyond regular tuition, along with the added expense of airfare and ground transportation, while the Nicaraguan program required no additional tuition. The Nicaraguan program was closed in mid-2013.[51]
The Ave Maria Catholic Church, originally named The Oratory, is the center of the town of Ave Maria.
The new campus is located in the town of Ave Maria, Florida, 17 miles (27 km) east of Naples in rural Collier County.[52][53] The town site occupies about 5,000 acres (20 km2), of which nearly 20 percent are designated for the campus.[52] The Ave Maria Oratory, a large Gothic-inspired structure located at the center of town, was constructed by the university and currently serves as the parish church.[53] Several more master-planned communities are under construction or planned in the immediately surrounding area, north and south of the campus.[53] Managed wetlands lie north and west of the campus. Wildlife preservation and restoration projects have also been instituted on the site, to preserve a degree of its natural state.[52]
Recognition[edit]
Ave Maria University won the 2007 'Digie Award' (Commercial Real Estate Digital Innovation Award).[54] The $24 million Oratory won the 2008 TCA Achievement Award[55] as well as an award from the American Institute of Steel Construction.[56]
Mother Teresa Museum[edit]
Ave Maria University Mother Teresa Museum contains an array of items on loan from the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, including a strand of Mother Teresa's hair, a wooden cross made from the door that she opened each morning, and a piece of the marble that fashioned her tomb.[citation needed] The Missionaries of Charity also provided storyboards – in Spanish and English – that include rare photographs of Mother Teresa and tell the story of her life.[57]
Student life[edit]
Dormitories are organized into same-sex communities. There are six dorms on campus: Sebastian, Maria Goretti, St. Joseph, Xavier, and the Megadorm, a building which contains both John Paul II and Mother Teresa dormitories.[58] Not all dormitories are used to house undergraduates; for example, Xavier has been used as a conference center and guest house. Opposite-sex visitors are permitted in residential common areas during the day, and in individual dorm rooms on specified evenings.[59][60]:25
Liturgy[edit]
Interior of the parish church
Mass is celebrated on-campus in the Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel and off-campus in the Ave Maria Parish Church.[61] The parish serves both the town and the university. Originally owned by the university and called the Oratory, the building was purchased in January 2017 by the Diocese of Venice, and its status was raised to parish church.[62] Chapels are located in each of the six dorms, each containing a tabernacle housing the Eucharist, and each but the Megadorm containing an altar for Mass. Members of the clergy, who live on campus, assist in maintaining spiritual life. A perpetual adoration chapel was added to the Library in 2009.[63]

Tanzania suspends fuel levy to cushion citizens from costly pump prices
On Feb 28, 2022 0
By BOB KARASHANI
Tanzania has suspended the fuel levy for the next three months to cushion consumers from cost increases as it anticipates a spike in global oil prices following the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Ministry of Energy, in a statement on Monday, said that the Tsh100 ($0.043) surcharge on a litre of petrol, diesel, and kerosene, imposed since July 2021, has been scrapped as the government monitors the international market in the face of the eastern Europe conflict.
The suspension will remain in place until May 2022.
"Despite the fact that this decision will cause the government to lose about Tsh30 billion ($12.95 million) in monthly revenue, it is seen as necessary to protect the citizenry against the impacts of global oil prices worldwide," the ministry said.
"If this decision had not been made, pump prices in Tanzania from March onwards would have become far too high for various reasons, including the war that is developing in Eastern Europe," it added.
The statement said Energy Minister January Makamba had already signed the amendment to the legislation establishing the fuel levy.
The price change will reflect in next month's pump prices review to be announced by the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura) on March 2.
In February, petrol has been selling at between Tsh2,480 ($1.078) and Tsh2,712 ($1.18), and diesel Tsh2,338 ($1.016) to 2,570 ($1.12) per litre, depending on location from the coast.
The government introduced the fuel levy via the new Finance Act of 2021, which came into effect on July 1 last year, the start of the current financial year 2021/2022.
Rising prices for petroleum products have been cited by the Bank of Tanzania as one of the main reasons, along with food prices, for a corresponding rise in the country's inflation rate.
In its January 2022 economic review, the central bank said that inflation in the energy, fuel and utilities shot up from 3.4 percent in November 2021 to 4.4 percent in December in tandem with increases in domestic pump prices for petroleum products.
Russia, which invaded Ukraine last week, is facing severe disruption to its exports of all commodities from oil to grains after Western nations imposed stiff sanctions on Moscow and cut off some Russian banks from the SWIFT international payment system. Russian accounts for about 10 percent of the global oil supply.

Q: ¿Se puede denegar que se pueda arrastrar la imagen al navegador de un card? Estoy haciendo una pagina web de mis fotos en venda. He pensado de mostrarlas en cards, el problema es que si cojo la imagen con click izquierdo y la arrastro en el navegador, se carga en una pestaña y te la puedes descargar, entonces eso no tiene mucho sentido para mi caso.
Me recomendáis otra tecnología o me ayudáis a encontrar algo que no deje a la persona que esta operando que pueda interaccionar con la imagen.

  <?php
  }
 }

}

?>

Aquí es como he colocado lo que me habeis dicho, pero no funciona.
Aquí como lo tengo originalmente:

/**********************************
 Función visualizar las imagenes
 que estan en la ruta guardada en la
 BD
 **********************************/
 public function viewImages()
 {
  $SQLStatement = $this->DBConexion->prepare("SELECT * FROM productosima");
  $SQLStatement->execute();
        echo'<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

';

  while($img = $SQLStatement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
  {
  ?>

   <img src="<?php print($img['imagen']); ?>"
     class="card-img-top" alt="Card image"/>

This is a title

Each merged squad salts the wild porter. Should the charmed church dodge a camera? The gown litters the rhyme. Another discrete elevator defects over the target.

    Button

  <?php
  }
 }

}

?>

COMO GUARDO LA RUTA:

 /**********************************
 Función para guardar la ruta de la
    Imagen en la base de datos
 **********************************/
 public function uploadImage($Imagen)
 {
  $ruta = 'imagenes/'.$Imagen['imagen']['name'];
  move_uploaded_file($Imagen['imagen']['tmp_name'],$ruta);
  $SQLStatement = $this->DBConexion->prepare("INSERT INTO productosima (imagen) VALUES (:url)");
  $SQLStatement->bindParam(":url",$ruta);
  $SQLStatement->execute();
 }

Gracias

A: lo que yo te recomiendo en tal caso, es que hagas lo siguiente, vas a hacer un div

con esto evitas que se arrastre la foto, luego en la clase imagen tenemos lo siguiente:
.imagen{
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
    background-color: #BDBDBD;
    background-position: 0% 50%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-attachment: inherit;
}

Luego de todo esto ahora vamos con otra validación para que aun teniendo el enlace de la foto no puedan descargarla, esto se hace con .htaccess crearas un archivo con esta extensión en el directorio raiz de tu proyecto, y le colocaras options -Indexes y luego le colocaras
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://sitio.com*/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://sitio.com*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|zip)$ - [F,NC]

Sustituye solo "http://sitio.com" por la dirección URL de tu sitio web.
Con esto creo evitaras al menos que tengan acceso. Cuentanos como te va.
