Aidana holding one of her feathered friends
Like a Hawk
Salem! My name is Aidana, and I am an exchange student from Kazakhstan. I am one of the luckiest students, living in a great state of great mountains—Utah. My school is Salt Lake Center for Science Education, which is very unique from other high schools. It is a place with funny teachers, a friendly community, and a good educational system.
For many years our school has cooperated with an international organization called HawkWatch. Every year, a group of students has a chance to experience their work. This year, I'm fortunate enough to be among those lucky students.
After several hours of the hardest hiking of my life, we reached the top of mountain where the crew had camped. "The best view comes after hardest climb," it is said, and it was true. I have never seen such breathtaking views before. I felt proud, happy, and a little bit tired, but the best part was still to come.
After our arrival, we started to look for different kind of raptors with the help of binoculars. At first it seems easy, but it is hard to find these birds when they are far away from you. My favorite part of this experience was working in a banding station, where people marked our feathered friends with special leg bracelets used to follow migration. In a blind, we waited in silence to capture one of the sky predators. After marking the bird with a bracelet, my friends and I got to release the raptor. We really enjoyed the crew, who were scientists and have worked with HawkWatch for years. As a curious person, I had a million questions about these incredible creatures. For example, did you know that you can tell the age of some raptors from their eye color or the color of feathers on their back?
The golden eagle is one of the symbols of my country and also pictured on the flag of Kazakhstan. From ancient times, Kazakh culture was known for hunting with eagles. That's why I thought about my home while on this trip. I shared my culture with the crew and as a gift gave them the flag of Kazakhstan, which they really liked.
It was an amazing time with my classmates and teacher. Sometimes, it is very important to leave the city, relax, and think about the beautiful wild nature that surrounds us. I will always have memories of shining stars, a fascinating sunrise, and lovely birds.

Some server-side caching products have evolved into complete software-defined storage platforms that can aggregate flash across multiple servers.
The first use case for flash in the enterprise was as a large cache to automatically accelerate the most active segments of data. This approach was ideal because flash, at the time, was significantly more expensive than disk. Identifying which workloads to place manually on flash storage was time-consuming and required constant monitoring by busy IT administrators. Caching provided that automation, particularly server-side caching. Since many caching products are server-based, they also work around network limitations.
Server-side caching software caches I/O to a local flash device so that, at a minimum, read I/O may be serviced locally, reducing network traffic and latency. These software caches typically support any flash media installed on the server, allowing an IT administrator to pick the flash storage option that best suits their needs.
File level. Some caching software products implement within the guest operating system (OS), caching data at a file level to enhance the performance of a particular application. However, hot data needs to be manually identified and isolated. The more specific assignment of flash resources allows file-level cache to minimize the amount of flash used.
Operating system level. OS-level caching products install within the OS and cache blocks of data based on data relevance. They automatically identify hot blocks of data on the server and accelerate them, but they are not as efficient as file-level caching. In a virtual environment, each virtual machine (VM) to be accelerated will need to have the software installed inside.
Hypervisor level. A hypervisor-based cache installs as a component of the hypervisor and caches I/O across all the VMs within that host. Hypervisor caches simplify implementation, but are the least efficient at using flash resources.
As all-flash and hybrid arrays matured, the attention paid to server-side caching subsided. Both of these shared flash technologies benefited not only from the decreasing cost of flash but from data efficiency technologies like deduplication and compression. The combination of falling prices and data efficiency made all-flash arrays or hybrid arrays with vast cache tiers affordable. The storage network, both Fibre and IP (NFS, iSCSI), caught up with shared flash performance and minimized the need for server-side caching resources. In other words, the network -- combined with rapid flash response times -- could deliver I/O faster than the application needed it, so the locality of flash resources became less of an advantage.
As the data center becomes more flash-centric and less dependent on hard disk drives, server flash still has a role to play even as the storage network becomes faster. Applications continue to improve and can now push shared flash to its limits. Users are also becoming accustomed to flash performance and expecting more. Server-based flash products are keeping pace by expanding their capabilities and exploiting their locality advantage so that they become more complementary to a flash-heavy, shared storage tier.
Server-side caching software caches I/O to a local flash device so that, at a minimum, read I/O may be serviced locally, reducing network traffic and latency.
While shared flash and storage network speeds have increased, they still do not match the performance of accessing local I/O directly from within the server. But server-based flash products are becoming even faster. The new NVM Express (NVMe) standard for PCI Express (PCIe) flash will increase the number of and compatibility of PCIe-based SSDs on the market. More PCIe options should mean more innovation at lower costs. Memory bus-based flash products are also more widely supported by server manufacturers. These platforms leverage the memory channel, primarily a private network for memory when communicating with the processor instead of PCIe, which must share its network with other I/O cards. The result is a new level of increased performance and latency reduction.
Both NVMe and memory bus-based products have latency so low that even a fast network will impact their performance. Server-side caching products remain a more viable way to tap into the full potential of these flash memory innovations.
Most server-based flash products can now safely cache write I/O to reading I/O. Caching write I/O can be risky; if there is a failure at the flash or server level prior to that data being written to a shared storage tier, data loss may result. To protect against this, server-side caching technologies will either mirror cache writes to another server or a shared flash area on the storage network.
Some server-side caching products are evolving into software-defined storage platforms that aggregate flash, or even RAM, across multiple servers in the environment.
Some server-side caching products are evolving into software-defined storage platforms that aggregate flash, or even RAM, across multiple servers in the environment. They then present that storage as a virtual volume to create a large cache that all VMs can leverage for caching both read and write I/O. These cache volumes are safer than a single SSD in a server. The caching software can create a RAID-like protection so that a failure of a single flash SSD or server node won't result in data loss. This protection makes caching write I/O safe. The ability to use RAM is particularly interesting since most servers have extra available RAM resources and RAM is ideal for write I/O operations.
Server-based caching remains a viable bridge for data centers still working their way to all-flash or hybrid arrays. For data centers that have made the shared flash transition, a server-based cache product can bring further optimization by taking advantage of low latency NVMe PCIe flash or RAM to accelerate read/write response times. The two technologies should be considered complementary instead of competitive.
How has server-side caching worked in your data center?

In both world wars, Australian troops played an important role in entering Damascus. On 1 October 1918, the Australian Mounted Division rode into Damascus, signalling the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. Turkey signed an armistice with the Allies on 30 October, putting an end to the Allied campaign in the Middle East.
In World War II the 7th Australian Division, under Major General John Laverack, reinforced by other Australian units played the leading part in the campaign to wrest Syria and Lebanon from the pro-German Vichy French administration, which was in control following the fall of France in June 1940. At 2 am on the morning of 8 June 1941, a three-pronged advance commenced with the Australians attacking along the Lebanese coast and also along an inland route while to the east, the 5th Indian Brigade and a Free French Force marched on Damascus. The attack was supported by naval gun fire and air support including No. 3 Squadron RAAF.
The Vichy French skilfully resisted in all three sectors. There was fierce fighting in the coastal sector at the Litani River on 9 June but the Australians slowly advanced and occupied Sidon on 15 June. Merdjayoun, in the central sector was captured on 11 June but Vichy forces recaptured the town in a major counterattack on 14 June that also stopped the Indian and Free French force before Damascus. On 18 June, General Laverack took command of the 1st Australian Corps and assumed command from British General Henry Maitland Wilson for operations in Syria and Lebanon. By 18 June the situation was restored although Merdjayoun held out until 24 June. Damascus was captured with Australian assistance on 21 June and the focus of the attack shifted towards Beirut, the main military base and administrative centre for Vichy forces in Syria.
Thirty kilometres south of Beirut was the last major natural obstacle to the Australian advance, a ravine through which the Damour River flowed. The Australian attack commenced on 6 July and they entered the town of Damour at 4 am on 9 July to find that the Vichy French had just withdrawn. With the road to Beirut open, the Vichy French Commander, General Henry Dentz, sought an armistice. A ceasefire began on 12 July with the formal surrender two days later at Acre. Of the 2400 allied troops killed or wounded in the campaign, 1600 or two thirds were Australian.

Perkins & Marie Callender's files bankruptcy; local locations remain in operation
(Memphis, TN) – Perkins & Marie Callender's LLC has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The news of Monday's protection filing came just a day after the company closed 10 Perkins and 19 Marie Callender restaurants around the country. About 1,200 employees were affected by the closures.
The company said it plans to sell off its Perkins' business and part of is Foxtail bakery operations.
The remaining restaurants are expected to remain in operation.
Carrie Moran, a manager at the Mankato Perkins said the restaurant will not only remain open but will shift to 24/7 hours in September after school starts.
The New Ulm Perkins also confirmed the location was not affected by the closures.

L3GD20 3-Axis Gyro Carrier with Voltage Regulator
Status: Clearance
10 6.26 17.95
This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for the ST L3GD20 three-axis gyroscope, which measures the angular rates of rotation about the roll (X), pitch (Y), and yaw (Z) axes. Angular velocity measurements with a configurable range of ±250°/s, ±500°/s, or ±2000°/s can be read through a digital I²C or SPI interface. The board has a 3.3 V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.5–5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards.
Clearance: This board is being replaced by the newer L3GD20H carrier and LSM6DS33 carrier.
Compare all products in Accelerometers, Gyros, & Compasses or MEMS Sensors.
Clearance: This board is being replaced by the newer and slightly smaller L3GD20H carrier, which offers several improvements over this product, including better accuracy and stability, lower power consumption, and a much shorter start-up time. While L3GD20H carrier is not a direct drop-in replacement for earlier L3G carriers like the L3GD20 due to differences in pinout and sensor orientation, the L3GD20H and the L3GD20 share the same register structure and I²C device address, so code written for one should be easily portable to the other. This product will be discontinued when stock runs out and is not recommended for new designs where continued part availability is important.
4 Feb 2016 update: We now have an even newer LSM6DS33 carrier, which combines a 3-axis gyro with a 3-axis accelerometer on a board that is the same size as and features the same pinout as the L3GD20H carrier.
This board is a compact (0.5″ × 0.9″) breakout board for ST's L3GD20 three-axis digital-output gyroscope; we therefore recommend careful reading of the L3GD20 datasheet (2MB pdf) before using this product. The L3GD20 is a great IC, but its small, leadless, LGA package makes it difficult for the typical student or hobbyist to use. It also operates at voltages below 3.6 V, which can make interfacing difficult for microcontrollers operating at 5 V. This carrier board addresses these issues by incorporating additional electronics, including a 3.3 V voltage regulator and level-shifting circuits, while keeping the overall size as compact as possible. The board ships fully populated with its SMD components, including the L3GD20, as shown in the product picture.
Compared to the older L3G4200D, the L3GD20 uses a higher resonant frequency that makes it more resistant to audio noise and vibrations. This board remains pin-compatible with the original L3G4200D carrier, although changes in I²C addresses and configuration registers mean that code written to interface with an L3G4200D might need to be modified to work with an L3GD20.
The L3GD20 has many configurable options, including three selectable angular rate sensitivities, a choice of output data rates, an embedded FIFO for buffering output data, and a programmable external interrupt signal. The three angular velocity readings are available through a digital interface, which can be configured to operate in either I²C or SPI mode.
The carrier board includes a low-dropout linear voltage regulator that provides the 3.3 V required by the L3GD20, which allows the sensor to be powered from a 2.5-5.5 V supply. The regulator output is available on the VDD pin and can supply almost 150 mA to external devices. The breakout board also includes a circuit that shifts the I²C/SPI clock and data in lines to the same logic voltage level as the supplied VIN, making it simple to interface the board with 5 V systems, and the board's 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards.
For sensor fusion applications, our MinIMU-9 v3 and AltIMU-10 v4 inertial measurement units combine the similar L3GD20H with an LSM303D 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer on a single board, providing nine independent readings that can be used to calculate an absolute orientation. The AltIMU-10 v4 also includes an LPS25H pressure sensor that can be used to calculate altitude.
Dimensions: 0.5″ × 0.9″ × 0.1″ (13 × 23 × 3 mm)
Weight without header pins: 0.7 g (0.03 oz)
Operating voltage: 2.5 to 5.5 V
Supply current: 7 mA
Output format (I²C/SPI): one 16-bit reading per axis
Sensitivity range (configurable): ±250°/s, ±500°/s, or ±2000°/s
A 9×1 strip of 0.1″ header pins and a 9×1 strip of 0.1″ right-angle header pins are included, as shown in the picture below. You can solder the header strip of your choice to the board for use with custom cables or solderless breadboards, or you can solder wires directly to the board itself for more compact installations.
Using the L3GD20
Regardless of the interface being used to communicate with the L3GD20, its VIN pin should be connected to a 2.5-5.5 V source, and GND should be connected to 0 volts. (Alternatively, if you are using the gyro with a 3.3 V system, you can leave VIN disconnected and bypass the built-in regulator by connecting 3.3 V directly to VDD.)
A minimum of two logic connections are necessary to use the L3GD20 in I²C mode (this is the default mode): SCL and SDA. These pins are connected to built-in level-shifters that make them safe to use at voltages over 3.3 V; they should be connected to an I²C bus operating at the same logic level as VIN. The remaining pins are not connected to level-shifters on the board and are not 5V-tolerant, but our 4-channel bidirectional logic level shifter can be used externally with those pins to achieve the same effect.
To use the L3GD20 in the default SPI mode, four logic connections are required: SPC, SDI, SDO, and CS. These should be connected to an SPI bus operating at the same logic level as VIN. The SPI interface operates in 4-wire mode by default, with SDI and SDO on separate pins, but it can be configured to use 3-wire mode so that SDO shares a pin with SDI.

Pinout
VIN This is the main 2.5-5.5 V power supply connection. The SCL/SPC and SDA/SDI level shifters pull the I²C and SPI bus high bits up to this level.
GND The ground (0 V) connection for your power supply. Your I²C or SPI control source must also share a common ground with this board.
VDD Regulated 3.3 V output. Almost 150 mA is available to power external components. (If you want to bypass the internal regulator, you can instead use this pin as a 3.3 V input with VIN disconnected.)
SCL/SPC Level-shifted I²C/SPI clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
SDA/SDI Level-shifted I²C data line and SPI data in line (also doubles as SDO in 3-wire mode): HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
SDO SPI data out line in 4-wire mode: HIGH is VDD, LOW is 0 V. This output is not level-shifted. Also used as an input to determine I²C slave address (see below).
CS SPI enable (chip select). Pulled up to VDD to enable I²C communication by default; drive low to begin SPI communication.
DRDY/INT2 Data ready indicator, a 3.3-V-logic-level output. HIGH (3.3 V) indicates angular rate data can be read. Can also be configured as a FIFO interrupt. This output is not level-shifted.
INT1 Programmable interrupt, a 3.3-V-logic-level output. This output is not level-shifted.
The above schematic shows the additional components the carrier board incorporates to make the L3GD20 easier to use, including the voltage regulator that allows the board to be powered from a 2.5-5.5 V supply and the level-shifter circuit that allows for I²C and SPI communication at the same logic voltage level as VIN.
I²C Communication
With the CS pin in its default state (pulled up to VDD), the L3GD20 can be configured and its angular velocity readings can be queried through the I²C bus. Level shifters on the I²C clock (SCL) and data (SDA) lines enable I²C communication with microcontrollers operating at the same voltage as VIN (2.5-5.5 V). A detailed explanation of the I²C interface on the L3GD20 can be found in its datasheet (2MB pdf), and more detailed information about I²C in general can be found in NXP's I²C-bus specification (1MB pdf).
In I²C mode, the gyro's 7-bit slave address has its least significant bit (LSb) determined by the voltage on the SDO pin. The carrier board pulls SDO to VDD through a 10 kΩ resistor, making the LSb 1 and setting the slave address to 1101011b by default. If the gyro's selected slave address happens to conflict with some other device on your I²C bus, you can drive SDO low to set the LSb to 0.
In our tests of the board, we were able to communicate with the chip at clock frequencies up to 400 kHz; higher frequencies might work but were not tested.
SPI Communication
To communicate with the L3GD20 in SPI mode, the CS pin (which the board pulls to VDD through a 10 kΩ resistor) must be driven low before the start of an SPI command and allowed to return high after the end of the command. Level shifters on the SPI clock (SPC) and data in (SDI) lines enable SPI communication with microcontrollers operating at the same voltage as VIN (2.5-5.5 V).
In the default 4-wire mode, the gyro transmits data to the SPI master on a dedicated data out (SDO) line. If the SPI interface is configured to use 3-wire mode instead, the SDI line doubles as SDO and is driven by the L3GD20 when it transmits data to the master. A detailed explanation of the SPI interface on the L3GD20 can be found in its datasheet (2MB pdf).
We have written a basic Arduino library for the L3GD20 that makes it easy to interface this sensor with an Arduino or Arduino-compatible board like an A-Star. The library makes it simple to configure the L3GD20 and read the raw gyro data through I²C.
Protocol Hints
The datasheet provides all the information you need to use this sensor, but picking out the important details can take some time. Here are some pointers for communicating with and configuring the L3GD20 that we hope will get you up and running a little bit faster:
The gyro is in power down mode by default. You have to turn it on by writing the appropriate value to the CTRL_REG1 register.
You can read or write multiple registers in a single I²C command by asserting the most significant bit of the register address to enable address auto-increment.
You can enable the same auto-increment feature in SPI mode by asserting the second bit (bit 1, called the MS bit in the datasheet) of an SPI command.

The historic building at 634 N. White tells a transformative architectural story. Located in the Parkview Historic District, the building was originally constructed circa 1920 as a single-family, one story shotgun double built in the Craftsman Style. Circa 1940, the house was renovated to include a raised basement and one story stucco storefront addition, and hosted a florist shop for some time through the 1960s. The building then fell into disrepair as a contractor's storage warehouse for several years post-Katrina. The property sat vacant and blighted for years, and was long overdue for a renewal of its architectural and programmatic potential. Concordia worked with the owners and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to preserve and restore the building's historic characteristics and to achieve historic tax credits for the project. The Bed and Breakfast hosts a shared living, dining, and kitchen on the ground floor, shared upper decks in the front and rear on the second floor, shared laundry, and nine suites that each include a bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and living space.

Y'all know I'm not prone to doing a lot of fan art. It's just not my way. But I sat at my desk yesterday thinking, Gosh. I really want to design a new charm. It's been a while. I couldn't think of anything so I decided to do Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail.
Do I have plans to make the entire cast? Uh… no. Not really. While drawing Erza Scarlet I ended up partially designing another charm idea that was original, so I'll probably go to that next.
So here it is, the latest charm design. If etsy will allow it, I'll be putting up a preorder form on it. But I'm also going to post this to the much-ignored and lonely patreon page so who knows what will happen.
And yes, it's also going to be a sticker. In fact I'm making the stickers today.


"Wildest Dreams" brings Taylor Swift into the etherial realm of sleep after a long night. The sounds of a modern choir of synths are washed away by the sweetness of drums that sound like the heartbeat of a lover. The sighing nature of her voice evokes the feeling of love-making.

Tom Morello Reveals First Atlas Underground Communique With Vic Mensa-Featuring 'We Don't Need You' Video
It was March of 2016 when guitar great Tom Morello teamed up with EDM favorites Knife Party at the Ultra Music Festival, revealing his plans for a new project known as Atlas Underground with a performance of "Battle Sirens." Since that time, Morello has been working quietly with a number of musical friends to create what he feels is a new genre of music. Now Morello is ready to reveal some of his Atlas Underground work, unleashing the first "communique" from the project featuring guest rapper Vic Mensa on a song called "We Don't Need You."
In the clip above, Morello delivers some of the funky Rage-esque guitar work he's been known for, while finishing out the track with some of his scratchy guitar sounds. The song has a definite anti-establishment message, with Mensa repeating, "We don't believe you / We don't believe you / Bite the hand that feeds you" at multiple points in the song, while also pointing out, "Fuck you, separate could never be equal."
Speaking just last month with Lars Ulrich on the Beats 1 It's Electric show, Morello described Atlas Underground like this: "I wanted to make a record that was the [Jimi] Hendrix of now, was the idea, which has three components to it in my head - one, it has to have guitar playing that is outside of the norm and is extraordinary. Two, one of the defining things about Hendrix was [that] he had radio songs. He didn't just look cool and play exotic guitar. The reason why we know his name is he had blasted jams that connected with a mass audience. Then three is the 'of now' part. Hendrix's milieu was blues rock and now it is a world of hip-hop and EDM so I wanted to do was to aim to create a new genre of music, to combine my analog Marshall stack guitar playing with the sounds of now and some of my favorite singers and rappers."

Toyota Officially Puts Scion Out to Pasture
by Micah Wright on February 5, 2016
Source: Scion
This week, Toyota announced that it will retire its youthful Scion offshoot that produced such gems as the xB, xA, FR-S, and iQ. First established to serve as a hip, youth-oriented offshoot of Toyota, Scion hit the market back in 2003 to serve as "a laboratory to explore new products and processes to attract youth customers," and for the most part it worked… for a time. Scion took to the streets with a vengeance, targeting concerts, campuses, active nightlife areas, and festivals with a trifecta of the tC coupe, xA compact hatch, and toaster-like xB.
Customizable, LED-lit, and appropriate for a time when the first Fast & Furious film was still fresh on everyone's lips, the sub-brand hit the market in a sweet spot that few other automakers had been able to exploit. It was by no means a powerhouse, but it did bring forth a fresh crowd of younger customers, a target market that Toyota had struggled to appeal to since its inception.
Since then, more than a million Scions have hit the streets, and 70% of them were purchased by customers who were new to the Toyota brand — half of these buyers were under 35 years old. But American buyers grew up, and although Scion genuinely tried to regain its traction with buyers with a slew of marketing techniques, collaborations, and new model launches, sales continued to slip. Last year's numbers only reached 56,167 units, or about 10,000 units fewer than a month of Ford F-Series sales.
Toyota says that its decision to retire Scion was "made in response to customers' needs," recognizing that even though younger buyers still want attractive, fun vehicles to drive, they are more practical than before. The Japanese automaker says that this youthful demographic has "come to appreciate the Toyota brand and its traditional attributes of quality, dependability and reliability," instead glorifying newer Toyota vehicles which it says have evolved in order to feature "the dynamic styling and handling young people desire."
"This isn't a step backward for Scion; it's a leap forward for Toyota," says Jim Lentz, founding vice president of Scion and current CEO for Toyota Motor North America. "Scion has allowed us to fast track ideas that would have been challenging to test through the Toyota network. I was there when we established Scion and our goal was to make Toyota and our dealers stronger by learning how to better attract and engage young customers. I'm very proud because that's exactly what we have accomplished."
Lentz is right on the money; Scion technically did do its job by roping in younger buyers with an average age of 36 years old, as cars like the tC sports coupe consistently attracted the lowest-average age buyer in the industry. Both the iA sedan and iM five-door hatchback have also brought forth buyers making up a 70% margin as first-time new car shoppers. Toyota also says that out of all these new car buyers, more than 50% of iM and iA drivers are under 35. However, the brand still suffered when it came to overall sales, and even with the end in sight, there might be a glimmer of hope for a few models.
According to Toyota, beginning this August certain 2017 Scion vehicles will be rebadged as Toyotas, while others will merely get the ax. Sources say that survivors include the Subaru-powered FR-S sports coupe, the Mazda crossbred iA sedan, and the well-equipped iM five-door hatchback. Unfortunately, much like the now defunct xB, the tC sports coupe will be getting put out to pasture after a final release series edition lands this August. As for the wild-looking C-HR Concept, it will supposedly reemerge later as a legitimate component in the Toyota line-up.
Toyota says that both the service and repair process for Scion customers will remain unaffected by this transition, and that customers may continue visiting Toyota dealerships for service and maintenance. Bob Carter, Toyota senior vice president of automotive operations, briefly touched upon this decision and the aid being offered. "We appreciate our 1,004 Scion dealers and the support they've given the brand," he said. "During this time of transition, we will work closely with them to support this process and help communicate this change to customers."
As for Scion's 22 dedicated team members (which shows exactly how small this brand really is), all of them will be offered opportunities to take on new roles at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. in Torrance, Calif. Meanwhile, Scion regional representatives are slated to transition over to different positions in their respective Toyota sales offices.
"We could not have achieved the success we have had without the incredible support of Scion's customers, dealers and team members, so supporting them throughout this transition process will be one of our top priorities," says Lentz. Strong words of encouragement like these from powerful men are certainly appreciated during abrupt times of upheaval. Let's just hope that the aforementioned re-branded vehicles don't lose too much of their youthful charm during the transition, a selling point that Toyota hasn't always been able to tap into outside of its truck lineup.
So here's to you Scion, you quirky auto manufacturer of yesteryear. For those of us who remember your glory days, that soon to be defunct slogan of yours still stands for something, even though the badge remains not long for this world. Thank you for offering drivers and critics alike an open-ended question that doubles as an abstract metaphor, as we look to one another and ask: "What Moves You?"

Our Mission at Maestro Classics:
To cultivate a love of music through education and joyful performances, to expand and develop listening skills and encourage adults and children to listen together.
About Maestro Classics
Maestro Classics™ began in 2004 in Washington, DC as Magic Maestro Music™. The outgrowth of over a decade of sold-out concerts for young people and their parents at the Kennedy Center with the Washington Chamber Symphony, music director Stephen Simon and executive director Bonnie Ward Simon turned their efforts to sharing their gifts with a wider audience. Experience had convinced them that if you educated as you entertained, were sophisticated enough to interest parents as well as children, and offered only the finest musical performances, all children could appreciate symphonic music.
Maestro Classics CDs are our gift to the next generation. The personal journey began at the Kennedy Center when the conductor and executive director of an orchestra had a son. He had no interest in toys, loving only books and music. Here is how the story began...
"I was sitting in the concert hall next to my young son Basil. He had been begging for the opportunity to hear his father conduct the Washington Chamber Symphony. Basil was patiently waiting for the concert to begin…until the moment his father walked onto the stage, baton in hand. Suddenly, with lightening speed, young Basil was on his feet, arms raised, and "Dad!" rang through the sold-out hall. Needless to say, he was rushed from the hall and missed a glorious concert. At that moment, I knew I had a mission: to find a way to bring quality age-appropriate concert experiences to children and their families."
– Bonnie Ward Simon
So began the original concerts at the Kennedy Center with the Washington Chamber Symphony, so began the Stories in Music project for the Stories in Music series also at the Kennedy Center, and so began the Maestro Classics CD series. After years of people coming backstage saying, "I bought my ticket for Peter and the Wolf, but I really loved The Story of Swan Lake," we finally decided to record the many works in our files with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Together, the Simons created their signature format, alternating music with talking, and explanations with musical adventures.
The title track is always a work for narrator and orchestra, where the music is just as important as the story. This is followed by background information about the life and times of the work and/or the composer. Then a new musical genre is introduced, taking a theme from the title track and transforming it into jazz, folk, Dixieland, heavy metal, or other style.
This is followed by the conductor talking about what to listen for in the music with musical examples. You are then invited to listen again, sometimes with the narration, sometimes without, and people are always astounded at how much more they hear with their new "educated" ears. Finally, each CD ends with a play-along, sing-along, or dance-along track, because participating in the music-making is always fun.
The inclusion of the program booklet that accompanies every CD includes biographies, interesting information on a variety of related subjects, both musical and non-musical, and is illustrated by a noted artist or children's book illustrator whose work reflects the spirit of the music.
Stephen Simon (music director) with Bonnie Ward Simon (executive producer and creative director)
Making Music is Fun!
We love what we do. Who wouldn't love being surrounded by music? Or flying to London to conduct the London Philharmonic Orchestra? Or working with award-winning children's book illustrators to design children's musical activity books? Or recording with all sorts of fun musical groups– jazz trios, Dixieland bands, Russian folk trios, huge marching bands, rock bands? These are just a few of the reasons we do what we do at Maestro Classics.

Our opening hours are currently fixed at 6—10 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. We often have events on outside of these hours though, so check our website and our Facebook. You can also call the Seomra Spraoi phone to see if we're open at a given moment and see if anyone answers.
Below you can find our contact details, a map of the location of the space, and suggested directions for how to get there.
Seomra Spraoi's current space is at 10 Belvedere Court, Dublin 1. Belvedere Court is a lane that runs behind the north side of Mountjoy Square, and number 10 is right in the middle of it. More detailed directions are given below.
If you're coming to the Seomra Spraoi from the city centre, or anywhere south of there, start by going north along Gardiner Street. Go up the hill, past Mountjoy Square, and take the first right after Mountjoy Square onto Belvedere Court. Seomra Spraoi is halfway down the lane on your right.
If you're coming from Phibsborough or (north) Stoneybatter, then go east along the North Circular Road, past Dorset Street, and turn right about 60° onto Belvedere Place. If you go up the hill there will be a right turn before you get to Mountjoy Square that leads onto Belvedere Court. Seomra Spraoi is halfway down the lane on your left.
If you're coming from Smithfield or (south) Stoneybatter, then go northeast along North Brunswick Street/North King Street/Bolton Street/Dorset Street until you see the Auld Triangle pub on the corner on your right. Turn right at this junction onto Gardiner Street. Go south on Gardiner Street, past Sherrard Street and past the church, and Belvedere Court is the first left after the church. Seomra Spraoi is halfway down the lane on your right.
If you're coming from Drumcondra or anywhere north of there, go south along the Drumcondra Road/Dorset Street until you get to Belvedere Road on your left. Turn left onto Belvedere Road and follow it past the junction with the North Circular Road after which it turns into Belvedere Place. Belvedere Court is on the right after this junction. Seomra Spraoi is halfway down the lane on your right.
If you're coming from Fairview or any of the north-east suburbs, head towards town from Fairview, staying right to take you onto Fairview Strand. Follow this road over the bridge over the River Tolka, after which it becomes Ballybough Road. From here you have two options, which are about equivalent. You can either turn right onto Clonliffe Road and head about two-thirds of the way up it before turning left onto Jones' Road/Russel Street, which takes you past Croke Park, over the Royal Canal, and up to the junction with the North Circular Road facing Fitzgibbon Street. Alternatively, you could continue straight along Ballybough Road until you hit the junction with North Circular Road, and then turn right onto the North Circular Road and continue until you hit the aforementioned junction with Fitzgibbon Street/Russel Street. Either way, the next step is to turn onto Fitzgibbon Street and go up the hill until you hit the north-east corner of Mountjoy Square. There, turn right onto Belvedere Place, and Belvedere Court is a lane on your left. Seomra Spraoi is about halfway down the lane on your left.

Home | Blog | Read Of The Month | KGB Banker by William Burton McCormick & John Christmas
KGB Banker by William Burton McCormick & John Christmas
A return trip to the land of his ancestors is about to turn deadly for one whistleblowing Chicago banker.
When financial executive Bob Vanags takes a job at ominous Turaida Bank in Latvia, he hopes to learn of his heritage and to fight economic fraud in Eastern Europe. Instead, Bob finds himself pulled into a world of political intrigue, blackmail, and murder.
Aided by his son David, his beautiful colleague Agnese, and a fearless Latvian journalist named Santa Ezeriņa, Bob begins to unravel his employer's darkest secrets, discovering their sins and conspiracies beyond his wildest fears. Secrets that Turaida wants to keep hidden, even at the cost of Bob's life.
Now framed for murder by Turaida operatives, Bob must go on the run to clear his name, protect his family, and reveal the plot to the world before governments topple and war ignites in Europe. KGB Banker is a pulse-pounding international thriller spanning the globe from Latvia to Iceland, Moscow to America, Ukraine to the Estonian islands and back again.
"If you love a suspenseful story, told with great skill, then you're definitely going to want to read this one."
— Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of The Amber Room and The Romanov Prophecy
"Dark crimes, cool twists, and an even cooler reporter who just can't resist danger." — Antony Johnston, New York Times bestselling writer and creator of Atomic Blonde
"KGB Banker is the espionage thriller at its finest. Timely and suspenseful, McCormick and Christmas use their wealth of experience in Eastern Europe to craft a pulse-pounding tale of spies, assassins, and financial corruption ripped straight from today's headlines. Santa Ezeriņa may be the best action heroine in years. A must read, destined to be a bestseller."— Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of The Eighth Sister and The Last Agent
"KGB Banker weaves a complex web of deception and double-dealing. William Burton McCormick's and John Christmas's sterling pairing manages to achieve a delicate balance between financial thriller in the vein of Christopher Reich or Joe Finder and all-out chase novel reminiscent of David Morrell at his best. The notion of an American working at a corruption-riddled Russian bank that's part of a plan to reclaim Soviet hegemony is pure literary magic. Not to be missed." — Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the Murder, She Wrote and Caitlin Strong novels
"A deftly written thriller with an insider's view into Eastern Europe. This book lands a death grip on the reader from the first paragraph that doesn't ease up until the last man has fallen. McCormick and Christmas open doors to the world of international banking and political intrigue, with a cast of characters so real you'll swear you've met them and a setting that comes to life. This just might be the international thriller of the year! A definite must read!"
— Chris Goff, author of Dark Waters and Red Sky

Overall Equipment Effectiveness Mining Different to OEE Manufacturing?
Is Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in Mining Different to OEE in Manufacturing?
I am going to assume that people reading this article have an understanding of how OEE is usually calculated, and how it can be used to drive improvement.
Firstly, I have implemented OEE models all over the world in a mining environment, and while the concept is similar to manufacturing, believe me when I tell you successful OEE deployments in mining are just not the same as a deployment in manufacturing.
Yes, I have seen so-called OEE programs in mining built along the manufacturing principles that just focus on the top level metric. They typically fall well short of delivering the improvement opportunities a well-designed fit for purpose OEE model for mining can. In fact, I have had the pleasure several times of being called in to redesign poorly established mining OEE models for some major miners globally.
Now don't misunderstand what I am saying. An OEE model is one the most powerful improvements tools I have seen in mining, it really does work when implemented correctly, and by correctly I mean more than just a top level metric, but is it still OEE in mining? Perhaps not, as it fringes into the production loss area, and the calculation can get pretty complex, so let's call it "Production OEE" just to be different.
Here are some thought-provoking principles I apply when establishing an OEE model in mining. These principles typically lead to a successful deployment and don't necessarily fit in with a traditional manufacturing model.
You do not necessarily have to measure at the bottleneck or constraint to get maximum value!
Not all measurement should be time-based in mining.
The Quality metric in OEE does exist in mining, and should not be set to 100%.
Production losses should NOT be stated in time!
The overall Production of the measured asset should be directly related to the overall OEE % achieved.
So the reality is, OEE in mining is different to OEE in manufacturing, but still just as powerful if not more so, particularly with the strong correlation between actual production. OEE or Production OEE in mining will drive up production, revenue, and profit if supported correctly, but it must be designed for the specific mining application with the assets production equation in mind.
I have seen Production OEE application work extremely well across SXEW circuits, Underground Hoists, Process Plants of all commodities and in a variety of Mobile Fleet applications, all following the principles above.
I was asked a few weeks ago by a client, can OEE be an Operational Excellence Initiative or Program? The answer is absolutely yes, with some supporting software, a robust improvement process the OEE concept provides a great platform to drive operational excellence, productivity, efficiency and overall profit. However, as a caveat to this statement, you must understand the complete mine value chain, where the current constraint is and design the program accordingly.

8.1 Digimon
A group of human youths from Earth get transported to a strange dimension called the "Digital World" while they are at summer camp where they discover that they are in a land where digital creatures called "Digimon" dwell. Befriending seven of the Digimon, these youths learn that they have the ability to help their partners digitally evolve (digivolve) into stronger, powerful forms that can combat enemies for a short amount of time. Setting off on their journey, the youths start searching for a way home. While there, they learn that they are the "DigiDestined", chosen young guardians with compatibilities with Digimon, and they are the only hope in defeating an evil digimon that is slowly about to consuming the Digital World.
The film opens with a narration (Watson) saying that there is a parallel universe where one day equals one minute on Earth where mysterious creatures dwell called "Digimon". The universe was called the "Digital World". Digimon possess a legendary power where they "ages" and grows up into larger and more powerful forms, it was called "Digivolution". One day, a strange being (that is a manifestation of the remains and hatred of the digimon who failed to digivolve) came to The Digital World from beyond the "Wall of Fire" and its presence caused the Digital World to become warped, throwing it chronology out of sync with the Real World with the help of it's byproducts, The Dark Masters. To defeat this force, a group of human youths from Earth were chosen and brought to the Digital World, successfully destroying the evil being.

Casting Controversy
When the film was announced, the casting of Caucasian actors in the lead roles caused accusations of whitewashing, especially from fans of the original Japanese franchise. Head producer Drew Gars responded to the criticism stating, "Yes, I get it. But listen, while this is an adaptation of the anime, it's also an American retelling of the anime. The way we're making the film is like Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow was originally based off a Japanese novel called All You Need Is Kill that made into Edge of Tomorrow, with the original story still being used while it was retold in an American way. If you are offended by this, fine I get it. You have the right to be offended even though it's my project. Again, I apologize. I promise even though its different, I promise it to be vey faithful to the source material as possible. And also, to the Internet critics, I'm not bullshiting. Besides, I can hear you. I don't want this to be like Dragonball: Evolution, The Last Airbender and Jem and The Holograms. The problem with those films is that they were made by people who don't understand the source materiel. But I do. I grew up with the anime as a kid and its very dear to my heart. Thank you."
Drew Gars' Conditions
Film producer and screenwriter Drew Gars pitch the idea to both Universal Pictures and Saban Films of making a film adaptation of the anime. But he had some requirements before beginning development on the film.
1. Gars heads the project as the head producer and head screenwriter of the project.
2. Gars gets to choose the running time, the length and film rating.
3. Blumhouse Productions must not be involved with the film's productions, reminding Universal Pictures of both the critical and financial failure of 2015's Jem and the Holograms.
4. Gars request that production of the film to be on location, stating that shooting will take place in the jungle.
5. Gars must instructs the other writers to watch the original anime before writing the film.
It was rumored by fans of the series that a live-action movie was in the works. On March 20, 20**, a live-action motion-picture adaptation of Digimon was announced by Drew Gars, a fan of the franchise, who will serve as the producer and screenwriter.
In April, it was announced that Ansel Elgort had been cast as Tai, with Asa Butterfield as Izzy, Ty Simpkins as T.K., and Robert Sheehan as Joe. On April 30, actor Josh Hutcherson was cast as Matt. On May 1, Liana Liberato was cast as Mimi. Eliza Bennett was offered the role of Sora but declined. Debby Ryan, Odeya Rush, AnnaSophia Robb and other actresses were tested for the role but it went to Bella Thorne. On May 5th, Patrick Stewart and Joey King joined the film as Gennai and Kari.
On May 15, Daniel Craig was added to the cast of the film as Devimon, the film's main antagonist. On May 20, Ty Burrell, Leslie Mann, Will Arnett, Radha Mitchell, Jason Bateman, Ashley Judd, Will Ferrell joined the cast as the DigiDestined's parents. In San Diego ComicCon 20**, it was announced that the original voice actors would reprise their roles of the Digimon partners. A week after ComicCon 20**, Gars announced that Ron Perlman and Djimon Hounsou joined the as the voices of Leomon and Ogremon.
Industrial Light & Magic was chosen to create the visual effects for the first film and the second film. Hongo and Gars hired Oscar winners John Knoll and Hal T. Hickel, both known for their work on the Star Wars prequel trilogy and the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Legacy Effects was hired to do the special and practical effects on the film. Shane Mahan, known for creating the armored suits for Iron Man, was hired on as effects supervisor. John Rosengrant was also brought in for his work on Real Steel. Oscar winner Clay Pinney, known for his work on Independence Day and Star Trek, was also brought on board. Hybride Technologies, a division of Ubisoft, and Rodeo FX also contributed to the visual effects. Some of the practical creature effect were provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Gars watched the anime in order to get the source material in the script.
Casting was complicated by the raft of prominent candidates such as Eliza Bennett, Sarah Hyland, Jennette McCurdy, Odeya Rush, Abigail Breslin, Daniella Campbell and AnnaSophia Robb. Gars said in an interview, "The character of Sora Taylor was the hardest character we'd had to cast. We tried different actresses to see which one looked perfect for the role."
Drew Gars described the film as "a mixture of King Kong and The Chronicles of Narina: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and The Jungle Book."
The running time is 143 minutes.
The film is rated PG-13 for action violence and language.
The film is distributed by Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, while being produced by Saban Films and Toei Company.

Amazon Delays New World MMO Launch Due to Coronavirus
The Amazon Game Studio's development team has been forced to work remotely, and that's 'exposed some problems we're still trying to work through.'
10 Apr 2020, 1:47 p.m.
With the world in lockdown thanks to coronavirus, a new massively-multiplayer online (MMO) game to play couldn't arrive at a better time, but Amazon Game Studio's New World won't be that game as it just got delayed.
A new blog post on the New World website explains how the launch of the MMO is being pushed back to August 25. The reason, if you hadn't guessed already, is the coronavirus pandemic and the impact it has had on the development team.
As Scot Lane, the game's director explains in the video below, the whole New World development team has been forced to shift to working remotely, and that's had a negative impact on progress, "because game development is so collaborative and highly technical, the remote work situation has exposed some problems we're still trying to work through."
The MMO was expected to launch in May and preceded by a closed beta. With the new launch date now set for August, the closed beta will happen in July instead. For now, the Alpha version of the game will remain open so the team can, "continue to test and tune our player experience."

Addison Rae explains why TikTok is better than Instagram
Published: 5/Apr/2020 18:40

Addison Rae TikTok
Popular TikTok star Addison Rae has explained why she prefers TikTok to photo-sharing app Instagram, in a revealing interview with Vogue magazine.
Addison Rae is, despite being just 19 years of age, one of the world's largest creators on TikTok; the Beijing based video-sharing app that grew to be the sixth most downloaded app of the past decade.
An LA native, Addison is good friends with Charli D'Amelio, the 15-year-old who currently sits as TikTok's number one most-followed account, and Rae is gaining fast. After downloading TikTok in the summer of 2019, she has accumulated 31 million followers in just nine months.

Rae is just 19, but is one of the world's most-followed TikTok stars.
Now, Rae has sat down with Spanish Vogue for an interview about her rise to stardom, as well as about TikTok as a brand new form of social media.

It was during this discussion about TikTok that Rae revealed why she thinks it has been so successful, especially compared to social media juggernaut Instagram.
"I think the social network gives everyone the ability to express themselves much more than just a photo. TikTok has become a place where everyone feels welcome," said Addison.
TikTok is based in China.
When asked what she would say to prospective TikTokers, Rae stated: "Go for it! There are people who will enjoy your content and interact with it as long as you are yourself. Everyone likes to see something new!"
Rae appears to be of the opinion that TikTok allows a breadth of content that Instagram does not, as well as being a more inclusive platform, that promotes and celebrates original, unique content.
Addison Rae reveals "secret" to great TikToks
Among other things, Rae also revealed what she believes to be the secret to a great TikTok – the lighting. She explained that she the time of day can actually be crucial, because of preferable lighting.
"The key is good lighting," Rae explained, "I always try to record around lunchtime, it is a time when there is a good light."
