Shanghai Yangshan Port exceeded 18.4 million TEUs in Oct., a year-on 0.48% increase
The container throughput of Shanghai Yangshan Port reached more than 18.4 million TEUs, a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.48%. Yangshan Border Inspection Station disclosed on the 7th that it can be expected to rise by more than 20 million TEU against the trend.
In October, the Yangshan Phase III with 720,000 TEUs and the Yangshan Phase IV with 455,000 TEUs set a new historical high in single-month throughput since the opening of the port. On November 18, the Yangshan Phase IV terminal set a 24-hour day and night operation record of 21,000 TEUs of automated terminals.
It is reported that in 2020, Shanghai Port will set up three container development areas: Yangshan, Outer Harbor, and Domestic Trade, to balance the resources of the whole port, and create a container linkage effect between the area and the area. Since the beginning of this year, more than 20 new ships with more than 23,000 TEU have been delivered one after another. Hyundai Merchant Marine launched the world's largest 24,000-TEU container ship during the year; CMA CGM is aiming at green shipping and commissioned Shanghai shipbuilding company to build 9 23,000-TEU LNG-powered container ships; COSCO SHIPPING Its subsidiary Orient Overseas ordered 12 ultra-large container ships of 23,000 TEUs in one go. In the early morning of the same day, the third 23,000 TEU-class new-generation dual-fuel container ship "CMA CMA CGM Paris Palace" was built in Shanghai. Under the protection of the port inspection unit, it efficiently completed the launch operation at Yangshan Port. The first loading and unloading task, slowly drove away.
It is understood that, in fact, the sudden arrival of the new crown pneumonia virus and the restricted circulation of people and vehicles have affected economic development. According to statistics from the Yangshan Border Inspection Station, in February there were only 580 ships entering and leaving the country (port), a year-on-year decrease of 10.7%; the number of people entering and leaving the country (port) fell to more than 13,000, a year-on-year decrease of about 13.3%. The container throughput of Yangshan Port dropped to 1.096 million TEUs, down 14.22% year-on-year and 32.4% month-on-month.

Globally, deep-water port resources are already scarce, and the intensive and high-efficiency of the large ship economy in a special period has given Yangshan Port its unique development momentum. As a major manufacturing country, China has strong export demand for related consumer products. Yangshan Port has strengthened its ability to serve large ships, increased production, increased container volume, and accelerated the construction of a global shipping hub with the Yangtze River Delta. In March, Yangshan Port pressed the fast forward button to resume work and resume production. Yangshan Phase IV's intelligent unmanned terminal operation overcomes the shortage of personnel and vehicles, guarantees production capacity, controls the epidemic, and promotes the rapid return of production and operation in Hong Kong to normal levels . In an interview, the Yangshan Border Inspection Station stated that in that month, the container throughput of Yangshan Port quickly recovered to 1.63 million TEUs, reaching 95.3% of the same period last year.
This year, Yangshan Port has upgraded the service level of "public reform to water" and opened up waterway transfer blocking points. The water transfer ratio of the first and second phase terminals has increased to 73.56%. Yangshan Frontier Inspection Station optimized the delivery mode of foreign trade containers, and took the initiative to reduce and exempt customer warehouse yard usage fees, reduce foreign trade import cold container warehouse yard usage fees, and waive ship demurrage fees, etc., to put the "secure and stable business" into Real place. The station took the lead in the country to implement special fee reduction policies related to cargo port fees, port facility security fees and other special expenses, saving operating costs for enterprises.
Yangshan Frontier Inspection Station vigorously promotes online services, with the highest online certificate application rate reaching 93.7%, reducing the total travel distance of at least 1,000 people per month by 10,000 kilometers; joint port units and medical institutions to jointly establish a joint action that includes entry rescue, process tracking, and exit The three procedures consist of a full-process emergency treatment mechanism for injured and sick foreign crew members. More than 10 injured and sick foreign crew members entered the country for medical treatment in time and exited the country after recovery. It is reported that the border inspection station has created a mobile duty window, normalized "front-end service", and guaranteed the smooth export of 5 domestic oil rigs with a total value of approximately US$900 million. More than 100 companies from seven European countries at the third CIIE More than 1,000 exhibits from exhibitors were unloaded and transported into the country safely and efficiently.

The fifth newsletter by the Development Management Team has been produced for Knight's Walk and is available to read here.
The Development Management Team has been produced newsletter #5 for Knight's Walk and you can read it here.
At the last KWGREP meeting, Survey and Report results from Stage 1 were presented to residents. Results from the Tree, Electrical Sub-station and Underground surveys were mapped out and further surveys were presented which were relevant to priorities from the Residents' Brief.
Habitats within the site boundary include scattered trees, buildings and hard-standing, which may provide suitable habitat for bats and nesting birds. Further surveys are recommended.
The design must not alter existing loading on the tunnels or structures and support cannot be taken from the tunnels. Consider movement from demolition, construction and vibrations from adjoining operations.
Information about previous development on site indicates that potential Roman ruins may have been disturbed and removed. When demolition takes place there may be a specialist on site to monitor if any remains are found. An archaeological watching brief may be required, this is subject to confirmation from the Council Archaeological Officer.
The development will seek to mitigate night-time light pollution and prevent unnecessary light spill. Energy efficient and LED light sources are proposed.
You may have seen contractors coming in and out of No.15 Knight's Walk recently. This is because some minor works are being done on the bungalow and we are excited to announce that once this work is complete, we will be opening up the doors to No.15 as a new space where residents can find out more about and influence the plans for Knight's Walk.
Most opportunities for residents to get involved and give their input up until now have been in quite formal, 'meeting' settings. At No.15, we want to create an informal space where everyone is welcome to come and chat, ask questions and share ideas and memories of the estate. Every month there will be a range of activities, exhibitions and coffee & cake afternoons for you to join in.
If you have ideas for how we could use the space we'd love to hear about it! Email: knightswalk@make-good.com, call 0800 0720 265 or tell us at the next council drop in.
Look out for updates about our first Coffee & Cake afternoon on the Knight's Walk notice board. Once building work is finished, we will be open every Tuesday from 1-4pm for Coffee & Cake with Catherine and Nataly from make:good and 4-6pm for the council drop-in with Paul Gordon.
The Council wants to ensure that residents have independent support and advice throughout the regeneration process.
PPCR will be holding an event to review the Key Guarantees at Pedlars Acre Hall on 4th October at 6-7.30pm.
The next Resident Engagement Panel Meeting will be on the 3rd October 2016 at 6pm at Pedlar's Acre Hall, you can RSVP here.

Wii Zapper can add to the fun of some titles
Brian Bowers
Fans of Nintendo's Wii are used to actions that mimic reality. They've been golfing or bowling by swinging its motion-sensitive controllers for months. Now, they can aim and fire with a gun-shaped Zapper.
The Zapper is really just a two-handled hunk of white plastic that holds the Wii remote and Nunchuck. It actually seems somewhat backwards because the trigger is on the front handle. And it really isn't essential for playing games since all of the "Zapper-compatible" titles work perfectly well without the gadget.
However, it does make it a lot easier to imagine that you've just landed in Normandy with a Tommy gun when your fists are wrapped around one.
The Zapper costs about $20 and comes with "Link's Crossbow Training" from Nintendo.
In this T-rated game, the hero of the "Zelda" series tests his skills in three types of shooting mini-games. The most basic challenge involves firing at targets that pop up in settings familiar to anyone who's played "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" on the Wii. Another mini-game involves standing your ground while being rushed by scores of enemies. The final type is akin to a third-person shooter where you roam the map in search of foes to vanquish.
Each level offers hidden surprises, which you need to find and hit before you can score enough points to advance to the next level. It's not complex, but it can be a bit challenging.
Another game that boasts a link to the Zapper is "Ghost Squad" from Sega.
This T-rated title evolved from an arcade game in which players used light guns to battle terrorists. That original game is still at the heart of the Wii version. It moves you through the action on a rail, so you usually don't have to do much more than aim, shoot and reload.
After clearing the game's three initial missions, you can opt to replay them with higher levels of difficulty and additional challenges. There are 16 versions of each mission. As you progress through the game, you also can unlock different weapons and uniforms.
The graphics and cheesy dialog haven't changed much from those in the arcade game. And its story line is pretty short and shallow. However, this isn't a game that takes itself too seriously. One of the unlockable uniforms makes your commando look like a panda. The game also offers two unlockable modes available only on the Wii. In one, the commandos use dolphin-shaped squirt guns to battle bikini- clad vixens — and bosses who look like cast-offs from the Village People. In the other extra mode, the commandos and their foes are dressed as ninjas and throw deadly metal stars.
With this sort of humor, fast-paced action and the ability to accommodate four players, "Ghost Squad" is a good game to share with friends. Plus, it costs only about $30.
Electronic Arts offers some Zapper action in "Medal of Honor: Heroes 2."
In this T-rated game, you play as Lt. John Berg, an OSS agent who's been attached to the Rangers for the invasion of Normandy. Your job is to dig up secrets and destroy assets vital to the Nazis in a mix of street fighting and special ops.
The fanciful plot is matched by fast- paced arcade-style action. Play involves a lot of running and gunning with the typical assortment of World War II-era weapons. Aside from aiming and reloading, only a few special tasks — such as setting explosive charges, melee attacks and throwing grenades — require special gestures. This keeps the controls from getting too gimmicky.
Although it's fun to use the Zapper in the campaign, the mode is actually best played using standard Wii controls. The gestures are more efficient and fun.
However, the Zapper is a definite plus in the game's arcade mode. This easy-to-play mode is in keeping with EA's desire to make Wii games accessible to the widest possible audience. Like "Ghost Squad," it puts you on a rail, so all you need to do in most cases is aim, fire and reload — although ducking a few times is advisable.
The arcade mode follows the same course as the main campaign, which means that even beginners can get a good taste of the game's action. It can be a lot of fun for experienced gamers, too.
In addition to these modes, "Heroes 2" offers online competition for up to 32 players. There's no voice chat, but that's probably for the best when you consider what most of the voices say during online games.
The graphics are OK, but I have seen much richer detail in other Wii games.
Because of its fast-paced campaign, fun arcade mode and online options, "Heroes 2" is probably the best bet for most gamers eyeing a Zapper — even though the gadget isn't really needed to enjoy the game.

iHealthFrontier & San Mateo Medical Center CMIO Michael Aratow speaks at the HIMSS on Feb 29, 2016, Las Vegas
While it may not sound all that exciting at first blush, a working knowledge of the low-, mid- and high-risk stratification of populations is key to successfully moving toward value-based care.
"The way stratification works is based on medical history and health history," said Gaurav Nagrath, a senior strategist of population health and analytics at Cerner. "It stratifies you for claims data, demographic information, into medium, high and low risk. Your highest risk patients are hard to manage without concerted effort."
Getting the needed stratification for population health models requires analytics, some of which are already available, Nagrath said. Registration and claims data are among the resources that can show the risk attributes of a population.
Identifying high-risk consumers, for instance, lets providers know who may become a user of inappropriate services, such as the emergency room, Nagrath said.
"It makes sure they're being taken care of at right time and helps contain costs," he said. "Something as simple as drug adherence."
Most of the time, healthcare providers don't know if a patient is taking the prescribed medication.
"But if you have a care plan, and a care manager who's calling, making sure that they're complying, or making sure they're coming in for monthly visits, then you can manage it really, really well," Nagrath said. "When non-compliance starts happening, they're not taking their meds, you start getting into episodes of high-cost care."
The next step is to address what providers do with the information once they know the high-risk patients, he said.
"Right now we're in the middle of understanding the population," Nagrath said. "We're trying to understand the highest risk category and why they are at the highest risk."
Nagrath and Michael Aratow, MD, chief medical information officer at San Mateo Medical Center, will talk about the broad spectrum approach being taken at the health system in the move to value-based care at HIMSS16, which kicks off on February 29, 2016, in Las Vegas.
Nagrath and Aratow will also address the need for providers to have an integrated data warehouse to reduce the lag time to actionable knowledge; having targeted metrics which educate and inform meaningful action; and creating risk models which give population disease patterns and preemptive risk assignments.
In performance programs, Nagrath said, providers are dependent on data and metrics, trying to nudge the shift from volume to value by focusing on understanding the issues involved; understanding the role of restratification in the process; and understanding the part innovation plays.
"Changing data into knowledge that can be used in the clinical workflow," Nagrath said, "will get providers to the Triple Aim."
Aratow and Nagrath's session, "The Drive Toward Value-Based Care," is scheduled for Thursday, March 3, 2016, from 8:30-9:30 AM in the Sands Expo Convention Center Palazzo E.

The term "Designer" in the context of Zeal encompasses everything from web design, creative idea generation through to full-scale video production. It is an exciting challenge not knowing what's in store, but ever so satisfying to produce creative work over a complete range of mediums on a weekly basis.
After catching up with weekend emails with a cup of coffee, I spend some time trawling through design inspiration websites such as Its Nice That, Awwwards and Campaign, just to keep aware of current trends within industry.
We work concurrently with all departments in Zeal, so the first thing I like to do is plan out what kind of work might need to be done, and try and get the smaller tasks out the way to free up the rest of the week. This could be anything from social graphics to blog images, I couldn't live without post-it notes!
This week in particular allowed me to stretch my legs by organising a photo-shoot for a new website design. It's a great way to get the bespoke imagery we need, whilst getting our clients in on the creative process as well!
It is usually mid-week where any Video Production work takes charge, with the entire process of idea creation to storyboarding getting fully underway. This can range from setting up a test shoot to see if an idea can work, or brainstorming a problem with Carl and Sam on the sofas. Unfortunately, this is also when the coffee machine gets its most abuse.
Anyone that has done creative work knows that you never switch off, or know where inspiration is going to come from, and so I try and collate any ideas that I might have had at home to bring to the table and inject into any of the projects we are working on. (Waking up in the middle of the night with an initial idea happens way too often!). This is also the time where any ideas start to take shape, using Photoshop to visualise the concepts.
Keeping in tradition with the spontaneity of the role, I'm always aware that an email template or fast turn around web design is lurking round the corner. I also liaise with clients and keep up to date with their retainer work.
Being the last day I try and plan ahead to ensure any shoots/location scouts are confirmed, and update clients on progress of the projects we are directly working on. We also use Friday to plan and design any social posts or infographics needed for the following week. Any last minute changes or tweaks are occasionally done with a beer in hand, which is the perfect way to see in the weekend!

New Sheriff not interested in defending current bail policies
After defeating Sheriff Ron Hickman in the election this month, Sheriff-elect Ed Gonzalez is already sticking his nose in Hickman's official business — mainly, the lawsuit filed against him.
Hickman, along with the county, all the county judges and five bail hearing officers, has been sued for participating in what a national civil rights group calls an unconstitutional bail system. The plaintiffs, Civil Rights Corps, argue that poor people in Harris County are being systematically jailed before trial just because they cannot afford to pay an arbitrary bail amount, unlike wealthier people charged with the same crime.
While Hickman has voiced support for bail reform in the past, he and his lawyers have nonetheless insisted he be dismissed from this lawsuit since he is simply complying with court orders from judges to house these people in the jail. Civil Rights Corps, however, argues that since many of these people are being held unconstitutionally, the sheriff is still liable. And it just so happens that Hickman's successor agrees.
In an affidavit presented before U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal in federal court on Monday, Gonzalez called the county's bail system unconstitutional and asked Rosenthal to keep the sheriff in the lawsuit — essentially encouraging Civil Rights Corps to continue to [sue] the office he will soon inherit.
Gonzalez's premature involvement places the Harris County Attorney's Office and its hired private attorneys in a somewhat awkward position: Once Gonzalez assumes office, county attorneys will be representing a public official whose views are seriously at odds with their entire argument — that nothing is legally wrong with the county's bail system.
While the county raised ethical concerns in court yesterday about Gonzalez filing an affidavit apparently in support of the party that is suing him, Judge Rosenthal did not find any problems with it. In fact, one attorney from the Houston law firm Susman Godfrey, which is a plaintiff along with Civil Rights Corps, argued that the greater ethical concern was Gonzalez being "represented" by people who do not represent his views.
Judge Rosenthal is expected to decide soon on which parties will remain in the lawsuit.
The county argued Monday that its bail practices are not in violation of the Constitution since defendants see a magistrate within 48 hours (most of the time). And that magistrates, county attorneys said, have the information in front of them to consider a defendant's ability to pay, as the Constitution requires. Civil Rights Corps lead attorney Alec Karakatsanis, however, repeatedly argued that the county was missing the mark: The point, he argued, is that magistrates systematically choose not to consider a defendant's ability to pay bail, sending low-level, low-risk defendants to jail instead of giving them a personal bond.
See here for prior blogging on this. In case you're curious, this is what Sheriff-elect Gonzalez is refusing to defend:
Anthony Wayne Goffney shuffles toward the floor marker where he is told to stand, wearing light blue pants and a smock top, four days after being jailed for trespassing.
A prosecutor rattles off information about his arrest as Goffney, stooped and gray-haired, appearing confused, gazes over his shoulder.
Court records show Goffney has dementia and a history of homelessness, yet his poverty is not discussed as hearing officer Jill Wallace, appearing via a video link, decides whether to jail him or let him go free.
Wallace says, rapid-fire: "Bond is set at $5,000. You're denied a pretrial release bond."
Then she adds: "Are you requesting the court to appoint you a lawyer?"
"Who me?" he asks.
"Yeah, you," she answers.
Then Wallace sends Goffney to jail.
The videotaped encounter – among thousands that occur 24 hours a day at the Harris County courthouse – is among a cache released by the Texas Organizing Project showing what officials say is judicial indifference to a parade of poverty, homelessness and hopelessness.
"The elderly man [Goffney] has nobody to speak for him," said Tarsha Jackson, a TOP organizer. "It's inhumane and it's not fair."
There more, including video, at the story link. I don't know about you, but that sure doesn't sound like anything that has to do with "justice" to me. The county is arguing that the lawsuit should be dismissed because it has made progress in addressing the issues. Judge Lee Rosenthal has said she will make a final determination in January, after the new officeholders have had a chance to get sworn in. We know where Gonzalez stands, and I'll be shocked if Kim Ogg isn't there with him. We'll see what that means for the case.

Paul A Kubosh says:
Hmmmm……$5,000 for trespass is a high bond. Priors? probably. Trespass where? Also finally Judge Wallace also probably had his file. The post doesn't show that.
First, there ought to be an attorney present for these hearings, second, doing it by video is crap. Get the defendant in front of an actual judge, in person, and take more than 30 seconds. Lazy judges piss me off.
@Paul, of course he has priors. He's a mentally ill homeless person who has probably been arrested numerous times. Isn't it awesome that he gets to spend time in jail, rather than being taken to a mental health facility?
Unfortunately there are no available mental health hospital beds. The Harris County jail is the single largest mental health care provider (i.e.: medication, supervision and custodial care) in Texas.

Video's are crap. It would better if you made the Judge actually be in there presence. Also have a defense attorney there and create a mechanism that will allow the defense attorney do good work not worry about losing his job if he fights to hard.

Anders grew up in Ribe. His parents played folk music and gave concerts at medieval markets with mora harp, hurdy-gurdy, violin and the like. Anders came along and was inspired to play himself.
In the music lessons in elementary school, he became fascinated with Carl Orff's simple wooden instruments and asked his parents to continue his music lessons at the School of Culture in Esbjerg - the nearest place offering lessons in those instruments. However, already during the first lesson, he was introduced to the marimba - a larger and more complicated instrument. He soon forgot about the small wooden boxes and fell in love with the marimba.
After two years at MGK in Esbjerg, Anders was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Music in percussion instruments. Although he plays all forms of percussion, the marimba is his main focus. Anders has recently been admitted to the soloist class at the Royal Danish Academy of Music.
Each piece of music is a world in itself which you delve into - and I love that. The better I get at playing, the better I get at listening. This is my motivation on the personal level for continuing to play. I hunt for the optimal result, which it is probably never possible to achieve. I also search for a form of freedom in my career where I will be able to devote myself and be creative, says Anders Kann Elten.
He has chosen an instrument which does not give direct access to an orchestra seat or evident ensemble possibilities. Nor is it an instrument that is easily carried around. It weighs approx. 100 kg and is packed into seven bags. However, this does not prevent Anders from travelling with the instrument. Normally, he practices at home in a special sound-proof room which has been built in his living room. However, if he is going to visit his or his girlfriend's parents in Jutland, he will bring the instrument along. Anders is quick to wrap the instrument together and assemble it.
As there is no direct career path for a marimba player, it is fortunate that Anders knows how to create one. He has a number of solo concerts which he has worked to obtain and performs with his duo, Copenhagen Marimba Duo.
In November, he brought the instrument on a cruise from Southampton to the Mediterranean where Anders was booked to play. 21 days at sea with several concerts on board. This is an example of Anders' creativity in making a career with his instrument.
Born 1989 in Ribe. Anders went to music school and MGK at the Esbjerg School of Culture before being admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Music in 2010. In contrast to other percussionists, Anders is focusing almost exclusively on the marimba. He has his own instrument, which he can assemble in 30 minutes.
Anders attends the soloist class at the Royal Academy of Music where he also gives marimba lessons. In addition, he works together with the recognised Danish percussionist, Mathias Reumert, in the new ensemble "Copenhagen Marimba Duo". They plan to publish a CD with music by Ravel and Manury in 2018.
The marimba field is still developing and new techniques are discovered constantly all over the world, increasing not only the technical potential for marimba players, but also expanding the expressive limits of the instruments. Anders will use the scholarship to obtain the significant specialist knowledge within the marimba field by visiting and taking lessons with the most interesting and prominent marimba players all over the world.

Bicycle's First Peptide-Toxin Conjugate Enters the Clinic for Solid Tumors
Peptide News from Biotech and Pharma
From Labiotech.eu
A collaboration between Bicycle Therapeutics and Cancer Research UK has yielded its first peptide to enter clinical trials for solid tumors.
Bicycle Therapeutics, the pioneer of the bicyclic peptide platform, has dosed the first patient in a Phase I/IIa trial with its solid tumors candidate, BT1718. The study will test the drug's safety and efficacy in around 120 patients with tumors that express high levels of a molecule called Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP).
The technology was developed by Greg Winter, who founded Cambridge Antibody Technology, which discovered the blockbuster therapeutic antibody, Humira, and Christian Heinis, one of his postdocs. Their tripartite molecules are made up of a 'Bicycle' that recognizes the tumor target, a linker that is cleaved once the drug reaches the tumor microenvironment, and a toxin to kill cancer cells. The linker is essential in keeping the toxin inert until it reaches the tumor, which ensures that the body is exposed to it for as little time as possible.
The basic structure of Bicycle's bicyclic peptides.
BT1718 is Bicycle Therapeutics' lead molecule, which is an example of a 'Bicycle Toxin Conjugate'. The candidate targets MT1-MMP, a protein that plays an important role in cell invasion and metastasis, with its expression in solid tumors associated with poor patient outcomes. So far, BT1718 has shown promising efficacy in treatment-resistant cancer samples taken from patients and reduced toxicity in comparison with other highly potent cancer treatments.
The structure of Bicycle's 'Bicycle Toxin Conjugate'.
Nigel Blackburn, Cancer Research UK's director of drug development, has high hopes for the candidate: "BT1718 has shown great promise in preclinical studies, and trials like this are a big step towards helping more patients survive their cancer. We urgently need new, safe and effective therapies for patients with hard to treat cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer and triple negative breast cancer that this drug will be tested on."
With Bicycle's technology entering the clinic, an exciting showdown with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has been set up. The field is being led by ADC Therapeutics, which raised $200M (€170M) to see its two lead candidate through the clinic. However, Winter told us that his technology could "get the toxins deep into tissues."
With the approval of the first two CAR-T therapies by Novartis and Gilead, this hype area of biotech could provide strong competition if the two companies can expand their technology into the solid tumors space. In addition, Belgian biotech Celyad is developing its own version of CAR-T, which binds 8 ligands that are expressed on over 80% of solid and hematological malignancies.
Bicycle's announcement adds even more competition to the cancer therapies field, which is already overflowing with exciting technology. This is no bad thing, with cancer still one of the biggest killers in the world, so any help would be welcomed by patients and clinicians alike.

San Jose, CA and London, UK – April 5, 2018 – Excelero, a disruptor in software-defined block storage, and Pixit Media, a provider of data intelligent, software-defined scale-out infrastructure solutions, today announced a scale-out, high-performance joint data storage offering designed specifically to accelerate uncompressed 4K, 8K and beyond workflows to meet the current and future requirements of Media & Entertainment (M&E) organizations. The software-defined system, Pixit Media PixStor with Excelero NVMesh, will be showcased at NAB 2018, 7-12 April on Boston Limited Flash-IO Talyn hardware in Pixit Media's booth #SL6124.
The revolution in high-resolution media technologies is generating an ever-growing wave of uncompressed data that has overwhelmed the throughput capabilities of legacy Fibre Channel and scale-out NAS storage. This is making it increasingly unaffordable for IT teams in M&E organizations to obtain the high levels of performance required by their workstations. Leveraging the benefits of NVMe, Excelero and Pixit Media are responding to this revolution, offering new levels of fast and reliable performance with today's solution announcement.
Pixit Media PixStor with Excelero NVMesh provides over 20 GB/s of centralized direct I/O performance over Ethernet per client for video streaming applications, without the need for buffering. Legacy Fibre Channel architectures would require four times as many connections to achieve this level of performance. A typical PixStor with NVMesh starter configuration includes three NVMesh nodes, delivering 60 GB/s read performance and taking up very little floor space and power in comparison to conventional disk-based storage.
PixStor is a high-performance and highly scalable enterprise-class system that combines flash, disk, tape and cloud storage into a global namespace seamless for users and designed for M&E workflows. It relies on Excelero NVMesh technology to deliver a unique combination of centralized management, redundancy and high utilization rates, while maintaining the fast performance and low latency of local NVMe drives. By adding additional NVMe target nodes and drives, PixStor scales out easily and linearly to account for the growing requirements of M&E customers. Uniquely to PixStor with NVMesh, CPU and memory are almost 100% available for applications as there is near zero overhead on the user or the NVMesh target server delivering the performance to the user. What further differentiates the PixStor Excelero solution is PixStor's single namespace data placement policy engine which automatically tiers data to lower cost storage for high capacity requirements.
The solution will be demoed at NAB on the Boston Flash-IO Talyn which employs technologies such as RoCE v2 and 100Gbit/s EDR InfiniBand or 100GbE from Mellanox's Connect-X 5 range, processor overhead and latency is kept low, while bandwidth is plentiful.
More information on the joint solution can be found here.
Pixit Media provides a modern approach to address the challenges faced by the Post Production, VFX & Broadcast Industries delivering enterprise-class storage infrastructure with a truly software defined approach. By combining the best of breed technologies from on premise into the cloud with a Global view of their data, we empower customers with the freedom of choice, eliminating vendor lock-in and driving efficiencies throughout the end- to end workflow. The company has quickly become the de facto standard for Post and Broadcast in the UK, and we are expanding into Europe and the Americas. Our solutions are deployed by leading content creation and distribution organizations around the world. We have been counted on to deliver numerous commercially successful Oscar, BAFTA and Emmy winning TV, Film VFX, CGI, Sports Broadcasts, Commercials and Music Videos.

I look forward to having a leisurely breakfast on Sunday mornings. I am not a big fan of fry up breakfasts, instead my my favorite is coffee with pastries and having yoghurts with fruits and nuts. There are so many combinations of flavours you can create by combining different flavours of yoghurts and fruits that you would never be bored.
This simple strawberry smoothie bowl is so tasty and delicious and it really looks so pleasing to the eye served in this beautiful Sainsburys Home Bloomville range of dinnerware. The Bloomville range comes in a pretty floral design in pastel colours, it is really cheerful and would grace any breakfast or dinner table beautifully. Available in the range are dinner plates, side places, pasta bowls, mugs, cake plates, coasters, trays, spatulas and wooden spoon and matching tea towels and oven gloves.
The dinnerware is made from porcelain and is dishwasher and microwave safe. It is reasonably priced as most items start from as little as £3.00 each and you can purchase as many pieces as you want to make a set for two place setting to six place settings depending on your family size. You can also buy separate pieces should you need replacing anything.
Back to my Strawberry smoothie bowl recipe, actually there is no set recipe!!! All you need is some yoghurt and fruits.
Creamy strawberry yoghurt garnished with fruits, granola and honeyed almonds.
1. In a blender add three strawberries and the yoghurt and blend it for a minute.2. Pour the strawberry smoothie into a serving bowl .3. Garnish with the remaining strawberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit, granola and almonds and sprinkle with chia seeds.
** The dinnerware featured in this post was sent to me by Sainsburys Home, all opinions expressed in this post and pictures are my own.

Yuuummm! All my favorite fruits in one bowl. I'd love to have that in front of me right now.


What's keeping scientists from vanquishing Ebola?
More than 40 years after it was identified, the Ebola virus continues to defy drugs, treatment plans—and experts' best efforts to solve its mysteries.
In the 25 years since my book The Hot Zone traced the emergence of extremely lethal viruses, one of them has proved to be the most destructive: Ebola. At this writing, Ebola has killed hundreds in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the second largest outbreak since the virus was identified in 1976. The largest—from 2014 to 2016 in three West African nations—resulted in almost 30,000 cases, nearly half of them fatal. Fierce international efforts helped quell Ebola that time, but there are no assurances that the virus (above) has ended its assaults on the human species. Ebola is hard to arrest for many complicated reasons (below). But scientists keep trying—and what they learn will equip us to face this virus, and possibly worse, in the future.
Richard Preston's international best seller—inspired by the true story of Ebola's origins and first arrival on U.S. soil in 1989—is now a global miniseries. Two episodes of The Hot Zone will air each night on May 27, 28, and 29, starting at 9/8c, on National Geographic.
Why is Ebola so hard to fight?
Ebola vaccine has to be kept cold. But in tropical areas where little refrigeration is available, the vaccine can quickly become useless. And we don't yet have a dried or otherwise nonperishable form of the vaccine.
There are experimental, genetically engineered drugs for Ebola, but it's not yet clear if they'll be broadly effective, and affordable enough that they'll be feasible for mass treatment of Ebola victims.
In 1966, during a large outbreak of smallpox virus, vaccinators tried a technique called ring vaccination with great success: They vaccinated people in a ring around the infected person. This trapped the virus inside a wall of immune people and stopped it from spreading. But attempts to use the technique with Ebola have run into problems. Ring vaccination requires a stable government or other authority maintaining civil order. The areas with Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are controlled by violent militias that won't let vaccinators do their work.
Ebola remains mysterious. It is unbelievably aggressive in the human body, but scientists still don't understand all the virus's mechanisms. The great military strategist Sun Tzu said, "Know the enemy." We're still getting to know Ebola. When we finally do, we'll know the paths to defeat it.

Turkey researchers working hard to build a better bird
Eastern wild turkeys have that classic turkey look, but domesticated turkeys are generally bred with breasts so big that they can't mate naturally.
A majority of today's domesticated turkeys may not be able to fly, but their ancestors sure got around. Meleagris gallopavo, the quintessential New World bird, was already an Old World favorite by the time colonists in North America first celebrated any Thanksgiving feasts. Today's turkey researchers are investigating the big bird's genetic heritage and biology as part of an effort to improve several aspects of its cultivation.

Cow Gives Birth To Twins Of Different Breeds
Mysterious Twin Calves
A cow has baffled experts after giving birth to twin calves of different breeds. The odd occurrence happened when farmer Vic Phillips, 27, mated his Aberdeen Angus bull Eric with a Simmental heifer, called Jemima.
The result was twin calves Ernie and Emily but Mr Phillips from Mudgley Lodge Farm, Rooksbridge in Somerset believes they are both different breeds. Ernie came out a fawn colour and is the same breed as his mother a Simmental while Emily is darker shade of black and brown is apparently an Aberdeen Angus.
Mr Phillips said: "It happens but it is quite rare. I thought there must have been a mistake and another cow had given birth as well but it turned out that they were twins. "We have only been farming for two-and-a-half years this is our first ever set of twins."

Study: Cousins Can Breed Healthy Kids
Still, some cousins should refrain from breeding…
The belief that babies born to first-cousins will suffer from some kind of deformities is all a myth, say researchers in Australia.
According to an earlier Australian research published in 2001, babies born to first-cousins are nearly three times more likely to have serious birth defects. But professor Alan Bittles, a director at the Center for Comparative Genomics at Murdoch University, who has spent 30 years researching the topic, says most children born to first cousins are healthy.

The American Revolution Revisited or Do We Owe It All To a Woman?
Two years after the War of the Austrian Succession starts, the satiric political cartoonists see Maria Theresa, Empress of the Austrian Empire, losing her clothing just like she lost her richest provinces: Silesia, Parma, and Piacenza to Frederick the Great.
It all started when Charles VI (Karl VI), Holy Roman Emperor, and the last of the male Habsburg line changed the rules. With only two offspring surviving into adulthood, and both being female, Charles needed a change in the Salic laws going back to the first Frankish King, Clovis I (466- 511 CE), which forbad female inheritance. Charles VI reformed this, and female succession became sanctioned. He now felt secure that a Habsburg would succeed him. When he died (reported to be from mushroom poisoning by Voltaire), his eldest daughter, Maria Theresa, became the Empress of Austria at the ripe old age of 23 (much like Elizabeth II did in England). Maria Theresa had married for love, and proved it by having 16 children, with Duke Francis Stephen of Lorraine, France. She and her husband ruled the Austrian Empire jointly until his death when she became the sole sovereign.
The Salic laws, however, continued to receive partial enforcement at various times in history, and it prevented Queen Victoria from becoming the Empress of Germany in addition to Great Britain, as she was descendent from the Hause of Hanover. Had she been male, she could lay claim to the throne of Prussia, as Kaiser Wilhelm II did in 1888. He was Queen Victoria's eldest grandson.
Despite the fact that Maria Theresa's education was, as most aristocratic girls, in frivolities of the wealthy and leisure class, which meant religion, music, and art, but not much current history, sciences, or mathematics, and especially not the fields of knowledge that would help her reign one of the great empires of the world. Because she was intelligent and also handpicked competent advisers, she became a successful and enlightened ruler. She had the reputation of being feisty, yet she ruled with wisdom and maternal instincts for the benefit of her subjects. She introduced reforms in economics, education, public health, taxation, and eliminated torture to extract confessions. She made education mandatory for both genders, something very much against the tenure of the times. She introduced smallpox vaccinations for the population, and personally attended the children who lined up at Schönbrun Palace for immunization, the palace she converted from a small hunting lodge to a grandiose palace, the equal of Versailles. She added policies that allowed for population growth with economic and health reforms that improved life. One of her advisers, her personal physician, was instrumental in improving infant mortality and in determining the cause of death in adults, thus preventing their premature demise. Maria Theresa ordered all deaths in the city of Graz (which a couple of centuries later was the hometown of Arnold Schwarzenegger and also for the first few years of my father's life) to undergo an autopsy to that effect. She and her oldest son, whom she made co-regent after her husband's death, streamlined the military to make it a much more powerful and effective strike force. Another reform was to create a civil service of professionals that replaced the old guard aristocrats who ran the country by favoritism and nepotism. She ruled as an absolute monarch but was greatly influenced by the Enlightenment and its reforms, even though she claimed to despise it, using the principle expressed by her son and co-regent Joseph II, "Everything for the people, nothing from the people!"
The power brokers of Europe who had initially agreed to the Charles VI Pragmatic Sanction of 1713 that would allow women to succeed now reversed their position. When Maria Theresa first ascended to the throne, they did not accept a woman monarch, especially Frederich the Great of Prussia. He marched into Silesia, one of Austria's most valuable lands, and with that, the War of the Austrian Succession started. It spilled over to North America. There the combatants were France and Great Britain over the mastery of the Ohio River Valley.
In 1748 the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen) ended all the hostilities, and Maria Teresa remained Empress of Austria. But peace did not last more than eight years. Frederick the Great just could not leave it alone and attacked Austria again. France, Austria, Russia, Spain, and Sweden were now fighting Britain, Prussia, and Portugal. This was the Seven Years War. Churchill much later called it the First World War. But in North America, they called it the French and Indian War. This would eventually lead France to intervene in the American Revolution on the side of the Revolutionaries, who sent Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin to the court of Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, the daughter of Maria Theresa. Without France's military and diplomatic support, it is likely that we would still be paying a tax on tea to England.
Without Maria Theresa and her daughter Marie Antoinette, it is doubtful that an American Revolution would have gotten off the ground nor have had the results it achieved. The revolution followed too soon after the War of the Austrian Succession and after the Seven Year War for George III to fully recover. Those wars sapped the strength of the British Empire. Even with the help of the 29,875 Hessian auxiliary troops sent from Prussia to help, George III did not have his former manpower at his disposal to crush the revolution. So we have much to be grateful for Maria Theresa, and should give her the credit she deserves.

Sheepdogs cannabis promoter hopes to 'educate people'
June 21, 2018 - Ollie Williams - June 21, 2018
The logo of Alberta-based Aurora Cannabis.
The co-founder of a cannabis producer bringing top band The Sheepdogs to Yellowknife says the company will use the opportunity to educate people ahead of legalization.
The Sheepdogs play the city's Black Knight pub on July 4 in a show for which tickets are free but in limited supply. Residents who want to go need to sign up with Ticketmaster then redeem their voucher code when told to do so, before tickets run out.
Yellowknife is one of seven confirmed destinations for a summer-long series of concerts being promoted and paid for by Aurora Cannabis, one of the country's biggest cannabis producers.
Cabin Radio reached Chris Mayerson, chief cultivator at the Alberta-based company, on the day Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed recreational cannabis will be legal nationwide from October 17.
"We're very excited and very proud of all the politicians and activists involved, and all Canadians involved with making this a reality," said Mayerson, reacting to the news.
"The end of prohibition is definitely something we're all excited about at Aurora. It's been a very long time coming but we are happy to be here today."
'Trying to be responsible'
Mayerson said the NWT made the list for the company's Illumination Series of shows because the company "didn't want to overlook cities like Yellowknife" – and because Aurora Cannabis sees an opportunity to educate people across Canada about its product, ahead of legalization.
"Getting our name out there is one piece of the puzzle, but the larger piece is getting out there and having conversations one-on-one," he said.
"Education is a key piece of what we have been doing for years, now. A lot of people out there either have a lot of incorrect information around cannabis or about legalization. Education is a huge piece for us."
Aurora Cannabis isn't the only organization trying to educate people as the legalization of cannabis nears.
The territorial government has spent months issuing brochures and leaflets to residents, attempting to warn them of the potential impact of cannabis on young people in particular.
Mayerson acknowledged his message to northerners may differ from those the territory is supplying.
"That's the wonderful part of having a conversation with stakeholders across the country – exposing you to different perspectives and different ways of thinking," he suggested.
"I'd be lying to say that I'm not biased; we are influenced by our experiences. The way I see something may be different to a lawmaker in the Northwest Territories. By bringing diverse groups of people together, it's great. That's how we further education.
"We are trying to be a very responsible producer of cannabis in this country. That involves having partnerships with people across the country."
Asked earlier this month for comment on Aurora's promotion of a show in Yellowknife, the territorial government's Department of Health told us to contact the federal government.
'Hazy rules'
Aurora's shows will not involve any sale or distribution of cannabis, for the obvious reason that the October legalization date has not yet passed.
However, legalization will also have a significant impact on Aurora's ability to market its product. The legislation coming into effect places a range of restrictions on cannabis producers' sponsorship and promotion of events like July's Sheepdogs show – which may be one reason the company is spending heavily on a summer campaign before the new laws take root.
Writing in the Financial Post on Wednesday, formerly Yellowknife-based journalist Mark Rendell noted: "Over the past year, in the lead up to Trudeau's long-promised recreational legalization, cannabis companies have made the most of hazy rules around branding to sponsor festivals and concerts or line up thinly veiled celebrity endorsements.
"That will end as soon as the new regulations – banning lifestyle advertising, festival sponsorship and even in-store claims about product effects – come into force, shortly after Royal Assent."
Bruce Linton, founder of another cannabis producer named Canopy Growth, told Rendell: "If you haven't created a brand, it's going to be nearly impossible to do so."
Asked if that means this summer's tour will also be the last, given the restrictions ahead, Mayerson said: "We're going to have to see what the future holds.
"One of the things that's exciting about working within the regulations is they are always changing. Things do change," he continued.
"Obviously, we hope to be able to engage and educate as many Canadians as we can in the years to can. But first and foremost, we have to be within the regulations. We can't stray from that and we certainly don't."

The Uber Culture Problem: What HR lessons can we learn?
The ride-sharing giant, Uber, has found itself in grid lock today, as the company's CEO and co-founder, Travis Kalanick, announced to the company's 12,000 employees he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence. The ongoing investigation into Uber's workplace practices has resulted in over 20 Uber executives being sacked due to reports of harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
The string of scandals started back in February when an alarming blog post by a former software engineer for Uber, Sarah Fowler, went viral. The blog post depicted a discriminatory and sexist workplace which defended "high performers" with disregard for unprofessional and offensive behaviour to female and minority colleagues. The blog post was damaging to say the least and sparked many more female and minority engineers at Uber to report similar treatment.
This 'toxic culture' that developed at Uber is unlikely the result of a single individual's predisposition, but rather a lack of commitment and investment into HR leadership and people management within the organisation.
Growth should never get in the way of HR. Uber is the quintessential start up that made it big, making the company applicable to businesses of all size. Building a business from the ground up is difficult. With the primary focus always "grow, grow, grow", businesses can forget to take a step back and look inwardly at the bones of the operation to ensure their own people are taken care of. In Uber's case, they were so focused on growth that when the complaints of their employees were finally heard, there was no escaping a massive PR scandal and resulting large scale investigation.
People and culture should never fall by the wayside.
A "high performer" can end up costing your business more than they're worth.
Effective recruitment and people management is essential to driving the company culture within your organisation. Hiring and retaining an employee simply on the merit of their performance, can result in a hostile working environment for the rest of the organisation. We recommend having staff complete a personality assessment, prior to their start date, to ensure that the candidate is a 'culture fit' for the organisation. This not only minimises risk of complaints from other employees, but will help identify under what circumstance the candidate will contribute positively to the culture of the organisation.
People management starts at the top.
Culture comes from the top down. When leadership doesn't respect the employees working for them, or follow proper procedures for a workforce complaint, that has a trickledown effect to all levels of employees within an organisation. Prior to the investigation, a video of Mr. Kalanick was leaked capturing the CEO cursing at his own Uber driver for expressing concern into how Uber's changing policies were making it difficult for drivers to earn a profit.
How the CEO communicates and carries him or herself sets the tone for the rest of the organisation. If Kalanick, the CEO of the organisation is responding in such a manner, then this sets the standard of behaviour for lower management and employees.
Core values are a revolving door.
Put thought into your core values. They are not simply a "nice to have" or a corporate obligation. They are a code by which to conduct internal and external business affairs. Uber's core values contained phrases like "always be hustlin'" and "toe-stepping". While this may have been intended refer to how to conduct the business in a competitive marketplace (with taxis for example), the values clearly had an effect internally too. Business is conducted through dealing with people, so your core values should reflect how members of your company intend to treat all people, colleague to competitor to client.
Compliant HR procedures are a must.
As an HR professional or business owner, it is next to impossible to focus on strategy when bogged down in the administrative side of HR. On-boarding paperwork, managing employee profiles, handling complaints and filing termination processes are all ESSENTIAL but extremely time consuming. And yet, you can look great on paper, but that is not enough to ensure the well-being of your employees.

the untold saga of Anime Hell flyers
(crossposted from let's anime)
For years I've been doing a free-form anime-themed clip show called "Anime Hell". It started out as hotel room parties at SF conventions in the late 80s, and as anime cons came into being, the event moved into function rooms and eventually 1000+ seat ballrooms with giant video screens, projectors, PAs, and all the technological accoutrements that are really hard to operate when it's 10pm on a Saturday night and you've had a few. Today five or six separate groups of people do "Anime Hell" type events at anime conventions in two different countries.
The show itself has been described as "all about the corniest, strangest and otherwise anime/anime-related things out there," and that's not a bad description. I've shown educational films, anime music videos, fake commercials, clips from 60s 70s and 80s anime, scenes from 8-bit video games, homemade Indiana Jones films, parody subtitles, promotional beer cartoons, anti-drug PSAs, European TV singers, and dogs riding bicycles.
Part of the fun of the show is the promotional flyers; I started making flyers for the Anime Hell parties in the late 80s with clip art and markers. When I started doing all-night Anime Hells at Atlanta's Dragoncon, the flyers got more elaborate.
(flyer from Dragoncon 1996)
Eventually stronger graphic elements started to come to the fore, as I determined scientifically that teeny tiny text might not be the best thing to read when it's taped to the wall of a hotel elevator.
(Flyer from Anime Central 1999)
The "Hell" logo with the flames was taken from the early 70s Marvel war comic "War Is Hell". The other clip art elements came from damn near everywhere - Chick comics, old UFO magazines, Weekly World News, Archie comics, Dirty Pair "mooks", old encyclopedias, whatever would hold still long enough to photocopy. I stopped doing Anime Hell at Dragoncon in... I wanna say 1999, and concentrated on Anime Weekend Atlanta and Anime Central, but for some reason I didn't do flyers for the AWA shows. Anyways, everybody at the early AWAs knew what Anime Hell was.
In the early '00s the capacity crowds and my laziness meant I wasn't doing any more flyers, which was OK since the months before two conventions were taken up with feverish preparations anyway.
When I moved to Canada in 2004 and started doing Anime Hell at Anime North, I knew I couldn't slack off any more. Canada had no idea what Anime Hell was. I needed to get back on the job!
This flyer is my first color flyer, and features a totally reverse-engineered "Canada" logo. For the next year I went back to black and white, but produced five different flyers, of which this is one:
At this point I was getting more into taking an image that already had ironic or kitsch value, and manipulating it in a very basic way. There are 10,000 people at Anime North and most of them are only going to be able to see this flyer for five seconds, max, so a lot of frippery details and confusing, conflicting images will only deflect my message. So simplification became my watchword. My AWA flyer for that year was even simpler:
For the next Anime North I went back to color, taking a cheesy movie poster and reworking it to my own advantage. It's still a little busy, in my opinion.
For AWA that October, I had been really stuck for ideas and was getting desperate, until I saw a one-sheet for EASY RIDER. What resulted is the simplest and the best Anime Hell flyer I think I've ever done.
Sailor Moon's head is a little off, but other than that, it's perfect; the quintessential mix of weird and powerful and kitsch. Besting that flyer is a tough challenge, and I don't know if I'll ever do it, but this year's Anime North flyer is a strong contender:
Anime Hell, Saturday May the 24th, 8pm, Doubletree International Hotel, International Ballrooms B and C, Toronto Ontario Canada. Brought to you by Anime North. See you there!

VHS Hell: How Can I Tell If I'm Really In Love?
Do you really think that Ted Danson can help you with matters of LOVE? The world may never know, because this tape isn't about love. It's about S-E-X. Unfortunately it's sex ed as told by Ted Danson and Justine and Jason Bateman. And some of the lamest educators in the California school system. Which may be the whole point of this whole 1986 production. Watching this will sap your libido and make you wonder what else Paramont wrote off on their taxes that year.

Mysore is a city in Karnataka in Southern India. It was the capital city of Kingdom of Mysore for nearly six centuries, from 1399 until 1947. Mysore is noted for its palaces and for the festivities that take place during the Dasara festival when the city receives a large number of tourists.
Mysore is also the name of an Ashtanga practice which is a self-practice and a bit different than other yoga classes. The correct movement, breathing, and postures are learned gradually, building on the Ashtanga sequence. It's an independent practice where students practice with their own level and capabilities. At the same time, they are surrounded by the energy and inspiration of other students. The teacher also assists and work with students individually which give a uniquely personal approach.
There are often different levels in a class where some students practice the Primary Series, some the Intermediate Series and some even the Advanced Series. It takes many years to master each of the series and it's a lifetime practice. Each posture builds on the previous one and it's a safe way to gradually build strength and flexibility in your yoga practice.
I also find it inspiring to have different levels of students in the same room. In the Mysore practice, I attend, I see more experienced students assist beginners and newbies can learn and see from other students. It becomes a bit of a Montessori feeling. In the beginning, the training is maybe not so long, perhaps half an hour or 45 minutes. As you become more advanced, you add more postures to make the approximately 90-minute practice. Often the class is open for 2h and students can drop in freely.
It is recommended to practice Ashtanga yoga 6 days per week and with a break ok Saturdays and moon days. It can take some time to build up to this practice so go slowly, maybe you just start with once or twice per week and then you build it up progressively. Mysore style is practiced worldwide and if you know the sequence you can go and practice anywhere in any city.
Jois was born on the full moon of July 1915 in Kowshika, as small village 150 km from Mysore. His father was an astrologer and priest in the village of nearly seventy families. He was the middle child of nine children and from the age of five, he began to study the Vedas and Hindu rituals.
When he was 12, he attended a yoga demonstration in his middle school which inspired him to learn more. He was so inspired that the next day he went to see Sri T. Krishnamacharya, one of the most distinguished yogis of the 20th Century. Krishnamacharya agreed to take him on as a student and he practiced with him for the next two years.
When Jois was fourteen, he was given the Brahmin thread initiation, it's when a boy becomes a man and is initiated to the spiritual life. Short after this, he ran away from home to study Sanskrit studies at the university in Mysore. In 1932, he met Krishnamacharya again, after having lost contact and now recommenced their relationship, a bond that lasted for twenty-five years.
During this time, Mysore's Maharaja fell ill and sent for Krishnamacharya who cured him through yoga. In gratitude, the Maharaja established a Yoga shala for him on the palace grounds and sent him and students like Jois around the country to spread the knowledge of yoga.
In 1948, Jois established the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore. Many local officials from doctors to police chiefs practiced with him. Also, local physicians sent their patients to Jois to help with diabetes, heart and blood pressure problems. In 1964, a Belgian student came to study with Jois. This was the beginning of the western world starting to take an interest in Ashtanga Yoga and during the flower power years, 1973 Jois got more known in the US and Europe. Over the next twenty years, Ashtanga spread across the globe where he traveled to teach.
In 2007, Jois became ill and he then passed away in 2009 at the age of 93. His death came as a tragic loss for the worldwide yoga community.His legacy lives on through his grandson Sharath (1971), and daughter Saraswathi (1941) who continue to teach in Mysore.
Many Ashtanga yogis go to Mysore every year to engage with their practice and the birthplace of Ashtanga. There are also events held such as the Ashtanga Confluence which gathers yogis from the whole world to share this practice and tradition with each other.
Krishnamacharya was an Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healer and often referred to as "The Father of Modern Yoga". He is one of the most influential teachers of the 20th century and has inspired all of the yoga that we practice today. Krishnamacharya was not only a yoga instructor but also a physician of Ayurvedic medicine. He possessed enormous knowledge of nutrition, herbal medicine, the use of oils, and other remedies.
Krishnamacharya believed Yoga to be India's greatest gift to the world. His yoga instruction reflected his conviction that yoga could be both a spiritual practice and a mode of physical healing. Krishnamacharya based his teachings on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Yoga Yajnavalkya.
Whereas Krishnamacharya was deeply devoted to Vaishnavism, he also respected his students' varying religious beliefs, or nonbeliefs. Krishnamacharya approached every student as absolutely unique, in the belief that the most important aspect of teaching yoga was that the student is taught according to his or her individual capacity at any given time. For Krishnamacharya, this meant that the path of yoga would mean different things for different people and that each person should be taught in a manner that he or she understand clearly.
"You may never have heard of him but Tirumalai Krishnamacharya influenced or perhaps even invented your yoga. Whether you practice the dynamic series of Pattabhi Jois, the refined alignments of B. K. S. Iyengar, the classical postures of Indra Devi, or the customized vinyasa of Viniyoga, your practice stems from one source: a five-foot, two-inch Brahmin born more than one hundred years ago in a small South Indian village."
By developing and refining different approaches, Krishnamacharya made yoga accessible to millions around the world.


WAIST HIGH: Debora Iyall Returns With Stay Strong.
Debora Iyall Returns With Stay Strong.
I can still remember clearly the first time I heard Debora Iyall's voice; me, a nubile 16 year old cruising through the streets of Arcadia, California, experiencing momentary bliss as I had somehow been given temporary control of the family's car radio. Onto KROQ came Romeo Void's "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)," and I knew it then; this was the kind of music I wanted to listen to forever. This was the kind of music I knew I was not going to be able to live without.
One of the most extraordinary things I have found over the course of this six-year-old blog has been the discovery of the overwhelming power that music had on my emotions as a teenager. And it seems now that this blog has let me sort it all out.
I spoke about music's profound ability to imprint a precise set of emotions in our memory banks in a love letter I wrote to the song "Belly of the Whale." We absolutely remember our state of mind, the sights, the smells, the time, the place, and the feelings we were experiencing when we first heard a great song. Those imprints can and do change how you feel about music forever, and for me, "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)," is one those such songs. Songs that with just one quick listen have the power to bring it all back.
I then went on to discover "I Mean It," "Just Too Easy," and "Never Say Never," and here I am 25 years later still excited about this wonderful woman and her music.
Iyall started Romeo Void with fellow San Francisco Art Institute student Frank Zincavage in 1979 and the band was quickly signed to Howie Klein's independent label 415 Records, "the first North American record label devoted to new wave music." Romeo Void went on to be the most successful band on the label and following the success of 1981's It's a Condition 415 partnered up with Columbia Records for one of the very first independent/major label collaborations.
Romeo Void recorded four albums - It's a Condition in 1981, Benefactor in 1982, the Never Say Never EP (1982), and Instincts in 1984. "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)," from Instincts, went to #35 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Greil Marcus, at the time writing for New West magazine, praised Iyall "as one of the most exceptional artists to emerge from California's new wave scene."
Romeo Void broke up in 1985 and Debora Iyall went on to make one "solo album for Columbia, Strange Language, in 1986. She's assembled numerous bands through the years and played venues on the West Coast in San Francisco, Joshua Tree, Los Angeles, and Portland." Iyall earned her "Master's Degree in teaching in 2007 and has supported herself teaching art since the mid-90s."
And now, the unique voice that is Debora Iyall has returned with Stay Strong, an 11 song album marked by her passionate vocals and provocative lyrics.
From Debora Iyall: Stay Strong is a collaboration with Peter Dunne, her songwriting partner since the early 90s. On the album Iyall's singing and lyrics and Dunne's playing and production take an honest and imaginative direction. Iyall explains, "It's a natural extension of the work I've done over the years. Peter has a way of intensifying the feeling of the lyrics with the tones and colors he brings to our songs." Iyall is still exploring heartache, frustration and love gone wrong, but her optimism shines through even on the darkest tracks, with Dunne's music adding to the album's bright aura.
The duo came to their sound organically writing some of the songs together in Dunne's studio over the years and then adding to the catalog with new songs written since last fall. The rock and dance beats are still there, but both artists are interested in branching out and expanding their creative reach. Dunne's wide-open soundscapes include subtle touches of reggae, trip-hop, blues, hard rock and classic late night musical reverie, but it's still an unabashed pop album. "I grew up loving pop," Iyall says. "Working with Peter helps me stretch. To complement his inventive melodies, I grew as a singer on every song."
Although Iyall has been keeping a low musical profile for the past few years, she hasn't been forgotten by her fans or her peers. Frank Black, John Doe, Dave Wakeling, Martha Davis, Terri Nunn, Jello Biafra, Translator and Wire Train have all invited her to participate in shows in the past few years. At these shows, the response to the material that Iyall and Dunne have written for Stay Strong has been remarkable. "Looking out at fans singing along to a brand new song at a show has a powerful effect on me. I'm all fired up to embark on a new era. I've always loved being on stage and now that I have new songs to sing, I can't wait to get back to performing."
Stay Strong is available in CD format at deboraiyall.com, with plans for digital downloads to follow.

Q: Is it possible to mount secrets to pods ONLY during runtime? We have an applications that requires secrets ONLY during the runtime or creation of the pod. Once the Pod is up  and started the secrets are no longer needed.
I've tried to load secrets from environment variables then unset them via a script however if you exec into the container the secret is available on each new session.
I'm currently looking into mounting files as secrets and would like to know if it is possible to somehow pass a secret to a container ONLY during runtime and remove it once the pod is  up and running? Maybe I can unmount the secret once the pod is running?
I should also point out that the pod is running an application ontop of a stripped down version of a centos 8 image.

A: You can't unmount a Secret while the Pod is running. (The design is any updates to the secret will be reflected immediately)
However, what you could do is use an initContainer, which mounts the secret. That initContainer and your main container also both mount an emptyDir volume, which is ephemeral. Init could copy secrets across, main container could read them then delete them.
I suspect this would react badly to failure though, you would likely need to change the Pods restartPolicy to be Never, because the initContainer won't run again if the main container fails, and when it's restarted it would now not have the secrets available to it.
All of that is on the assumption your main container needed to see the secrets. If you could do what's needed during the initContainer, then the main container will never see the secrets if they're not mounted - just use them in the initContainer.
