NetApp storage, much like ogres and onions, is made up of several layers. Regardless of using Data ONTAP 7-Mode or clustered Data ONTAP (cDOT), there are always aggregates which contain volumes which contain NFS/CIFS shares and/or LUNs. Aggregates are the physical grouping of disks into RAID groups on which all data is stored when using Data ONTAP, they are the foundation on which everything else rides.
All of these components are configured similarly with both 7-Mode and C-Mode. C-Mode adds another layer of abstraction, known as the Storage Virtual Machine, which enhances data mobility and manageability on the storage array, but that does not affect the settings on the actual data container constructs.
Each of these entities has configuration options and settings that can be tweaked, tuned, and adjusted for various scenarios. The defaults for these settings are conservative and capable of meeting a broad range of requirements, but they can also be changed to meet a variety of more specific needs for capacity, performance, ease of management, etc. Remember, just because a setting can be adjusted doesn't mean that it needs to be. All environments are different, and there is rarely only a single "correct" way to configure your storage.

Explanation of Retaliatory Eviction
Landlord Property Management
Landlord Tenant Laws
Tenant Eviction
As a landlord, you have certain obligations to keep a property in a livable condition.
If a tenant has reported unsanitary conditions that are not of their own doing, such as a septic tank failure from a lack of maintenance, then many jurisdictions require that you resolve that issue in 24 hours.
If you do not and take an eviction action towards the tenant because of their report, this would classify as a retaliatory eviction.
You Cannot Evict Tenants Because They Report Violations
The lease that you sign with a tenant is a contract for both parties.
The tenants agree to certain responsibilities, but so do landlords.
Tenants have certain rights that they can exercise, such as hiring a building inspector to look at an apartment building.
Landlord are forbidden by lawn to evict tenants for exercising this right.
Evictions can only occur if the tenant has failed to live up to their obligations on the lease that has been signed. If a retaliatory eviction is attempted, the tenant can claim retaliation as a substantive defense when the case goes to court.
Retaliatory eviction even covers such actions as canceling a month-to-month lease arrangement, locking common room doors, or increasing the rent to drive a tenant off of the property.
Anything that is done to negatively impact the lives of a tenant because of legal actions they have taken will qualify as retaliation in most jurisdictions.
As a landlord, your best case scenario is to respond promptly to 24 hour maintenance issues.
Take care of your property so there is no need for tenants to feel like there is an unhealthy environment or that their home is structurally unsound.
Tenants who feel like they've been retaliated against often have the right to file a lawsuit to protect their rights.
That can be very costly to a property owner and landlords may even be liable for the legal fees of the tenant.
Most importantly, know what your local landlord-tenant law says.
There are times you can respond to a tenant's actions with an eviction notice, but that is jurisdiction dependent.
If you can avoid a retaliatory eviction and proceed only on just cause, then you will be able to better maintain your profit margins.

Kylesa — группа из Саванны, штат Джорджия, США, исполняющая авангардный сладж-метал с элементами психоделического стоунер-рока, хардкор-панка, спид-метала. Название группы происходит от буддийского термина kilesa mara, которым именуют помрачённое, изменённое сознание, состояния аффекта.

Группа выпустила семь студийных альбомов, четвёртый из которых, Static Tensions, вышел в марте 2009 года и получил высокие оценки музыкальных критиков.

История группы
Kylesa образовали в 2001 году участники сладжкор-группы Damad, выпустившей в 90-х годах два альбома: поющий гитарист Филип Коуп, басист Брайан Дьюк и Кристиан Депкен (ударные). Вскоре к ним присоединилась гитаристка Лора Плезантс, которая приехала в Саванну за десять лет до этого, изучать фотографию и дизайн. В отличие от Коупа (бросившего учёбу в том же арт-колледже), она получила свой диплом, некоторое время работала по специальности, а позже участвовала в оформлении релизов Kylesa.

Первое время группа давала полулегальные концерты, собирая зрителей в подвальных помещениях, где превышала все допустимые нормы шумового воздействия и полагаясь во многом на психоделический эффект обстановки.
«В те дни мы выходили на сцену обкуренными, ничего не соображали и не всегда понимали, что и как играем», — вспоминал Коуп.

Свой первый официальный концерт Kylesa дали 2 июня 2001 года вместе с Mastodon и Cream Abdul Babar. 6 июня 2001 года Дюк скончался во сне от эпилептического припадка. Коуп вспоминал:

Полгода спустя, убедив себя в том, что именно таким было бы желание Дюка, группа собралась вновь, пригласив к участию — сначала знакомого музыканта Майкла Редмана, затем — постоянного бас-гитариста (и вокалиста) Кори Бархорста. Спустя год после начала работы над ним дебютный альбом Kylesa вышел на Prank Records. С Кори Бархорстом Kylesa записали два сплита: с Memento Mori (на Hyperrealist Records) и Cream Abdul Babar (на At A Loss Recordings). После выхода EP No Ending 110 Degree Heat Index (2004) Депкен покинул состав.

Kylesa подписал контракт с независимым метал-лейблом Prosthetic Records, на котором — c новым барабанщиком Брендоном Болцли (Brandon Baltzley) выпустили свой второй альбом To Walk a Middle Course (2005). Почти сразу же Болцли ушёл из группы. В 2006 году к Kylesa пришли двое барабанщиков, Карл Макгингли из Unpersons и Джефф Портер. С ними Kylesa записали третий альбом Time Will Fuse Its Worth, вышедший в Хэллоуин 2006 года. В 2008 году Портера заменил Эрик Эрнандес (из Capsule).

Ударный тандем
Как пишет Kerrang!, «…в когорте сверхтяжёлых американских групп Kylesa выделяются женственным присутствием Плезантс, перемежающей потусторонние вопли с ангельским вокалом, а также ритм-секцией с двумя барабанщиками… При этом Коуп и Плезант убеждены, что ударный тандем — это будущее тяжёлого рока». «Эта идея появилась с самого начала… Мы решили именно так раздвинуть границы тяжёлой музыки», — утверждает Плезантс. "Найти двух ударников, которые бы сыгрались, нелегко. Мы не первая группа, кто это делает, но первая, кому это удалось практически. Думаю это нечто, что только набирает силу и скоро получит широкое распространение", — говорил Брайан Коуп.

Static Tensions
Четвёртый альбом Static Tensions, вышел в марте 2009 года и получил высокие оценки музыкальных критиков. По словам Коупа, альбом в целом — «о переменах к лучшему», и не только в общественной жизни (связанными с победой Барака Обамы) но и на метал-сцене, где «…всё резко переменилось, и никто не может теперь сказать, к чему всё это придет».

Филип Коуп отметил, что альбом записывал «в состоянии почти ясного рассудка и … не курил ничего зеленого, ни до, ни в процессе». «У нас есть конечно такая репутация, но это не значит, что мы целыми днями сидим и курим траву. Конечно, она всех нас (за исключением ритм-секции) очень поддерживает… просто потому, что мы все выросли на ней и вели этот образ жизни долгое время», — заметила по этому поводу в (том же) интервью Лора Плезантс.

Журнал Kerrang!, дав альбому оценку 4/5, написал следующее:В этом насыщенном риффами коктейле смазанных стоунер-рок-мелодий, дум/сладж-грува и психоделических фрик-аутов моменты великолепия видны повсюду, и они доказывают: это — тот самый звёздный альбом, который Kylesa так долго обещали создать. Энергичное и депрессивное одновременно, иногда переключающееся от одной крайности к другой в течение нескольких секунд, это — звучание безумных  учёных: из числа тех, что проводят свои эксперименты в форме ночных джэм-сессий.  {{конец цитаты|источник=Райан Бёрд, Kerrang!, 7 марта 2009 года <ref>Ryan Bird. - Kerrang!, Issue #1251 March 07 2009 Albums review. Kylesa, Static Tensions.</ref>}}
Рецензент отметил 6-минутный трек «Running Red» как «наилучшим образом суммирующий суть альбома», а в числе ближайших ориентиров для сравнения упомянул Fu Manchu и The Sword.

 Участники группы
 Phillip Cope — вокал, гитара (с 2001)
 Laura Pleasants — вокал, гитара (с 2001)
 Corey Barhorst — бас-гитара, вокал (с 2002)

Unions Speak Out on NLRB Recess Appointment Ruling
By Nelson Cary on March 1, 2013 Posted in Unions
In case you were wondering what unions thought about the Noel Canning decision, which held that President Obama's recess appointments to the NLRB were unlawful, your wait is now over. Earlier this week, at its Executive Council meeting, the AFL-CIO let its views be known. In a statement adopted by the Council, the AFL-CIO decried the "sustained and vicious campaign" to "derail" the NLRB. The tools of this campaign, according to the statement, are "arcane Senate rules" used to block nominees and legislative reform and "nine oversight hearings" intended to "intimidate" the NLRB. The statement goes on to describe the Noel Canning decision as "radical" and "sweeping," not to mention "shocking and far reaching."
What is to be done, according to the AFL-CIO? The statement mentions six different actions:
The NLRB should "quickly seek review" and reversal of the Noel Canning decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The labor movement must "mobilize, demonstrate, and take direct action" against those who are "exploiting" the Noel Canning decision.
President Obama must immediately nominate, and the Senate confirm, a package of nominees to the NLRB, including current Chairman Pearce (D) and recess appointees Sharon Block (D) and Richard Griffin (D), two Republican members, and Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon.
The labor movement must "mobilize" itself to demand action from the Senate to confirm this package of nominees. "We will hold senators of both parties accountable if they stand in the way or fail to act."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) must lead the effort to confirm the package, overcome any Republican filibuster, and if not successful, "lead an effort to change Senate rules" so that the appointments cannot be blocked.
The Obama administration must also continue to talk about collective bargaining rights, defend the NLRB from congressional "attacks," and "work aggressively" to win confirmation of the President's appointees.
Putting aside its rhetoric, the statement is nonetheless significant for the labor professional. Initially, it would seem to increase the likelihood that the NLRB will appeal the Noel Canning decision. Moreover, it is a clear and public marker from the AFL-CIO that even some Senators in the Democratic Party who do not act with what the AFL-CIO might view as sufficient earnestness on this issue could face some fall out. What that might mean in terms of campaign contributions or other political support is not clear from the statement.
Whether this statement, or any accompanying AFL-CIO lobbying, will ultimately change the situation, however, is yet to be seen. The only nominees the President sent to the Senate were the recess appointed Members Block and Griffin, but no Republican nominees. The NLRB has also not announced its decision on whether to appeal Noel Canning. One thing remains certain: until the Supreme Court decides on the validity of the recess appointments, or the President and Senate act to confirm a full, five-member NLRB, all of those who deal with the NLRB, whether employers, unions, or employees, will continue to confront the uncertainty that flows from Noel Canning.

I've tried running the latest stable release and the latest nightly build, both give errors. For what it's worth, GATK should have read/write permissions to the specified output path and the path of the bam-file, but not in the directory holding the reference, could that cause a problem or is it something else? Also, it's run on a cluster using slurm, if that's of any relevance.
The team has figured out that the issue might be that your BAM file header is missing the SM field in the Read Group (@RG). It validates with ValidateSamFile because the SM field is not required by the tool, but GATK requires it. Can you take a look and see if indeed the SM field is missing? You can use samtools view -H "your bam file".
It could be an issue with the permissions for the reference directory. You can also try validating your bam file with ValidateSamFile.
Hi, Sheila, thank you for replying so quickly.
I've tried copying the reference to an open environment to see if the permissions was the issue. To no avail, I'm afraid. I've also validated the BAM-file and, for good measure, reindexed it to get rid of the warning.
Any other suggestions? Are there specific requirements to java version for instance? Or does the tool depend on any other software such as bedtools or samtools?
Ah, yes GATK only supports Java 1.7 right now. Have a look at this document for help on switching between versions. No, the tool should not depend on other software.
I am still getting nullpointerexception when using java version 1.7.0_79, albeit on line 106 and not 108, but the errors look the same. Do you have any suggestions to other ways of calculating sequencing depth?
before running PicardTools AddOrReplaceReadGroups to add the other groups. AddOrReplaceReadGroups would not work without the SM-field either. Reheading the Picard-output with Samtools reheader produced a bam-file on which GATK DepthOfCoverage seems to run fine.
Thanks for all your help, Sheila!

TEACHERS due for leave must submit their leave fare applications before the closure of the following year's national budget, says Education Minister Nick Kuman,.
"The leave process it's not that easy where you do it today and you get it tomorrow," Kuman said.
"If teachers want to go on leave, they have to make sure that the necessary documentation are prepared before the national budget (for the following year) is formed.
"We account for who is going to go for leave at the end of the academic year.
"It's not like sometime in the middle of the year when the leave is due and the teacher wants to go.
"We prepare it in the budget and we account for which teachers are going to go on leave.
"Those are done before budget is formed.
"We are always on top of this. But the past couple of months had been very difficult.
Kuman said 2017 was a little slow because of the cash-flow problem and money could not be set to the provinces for the teachers' leave fares.
"The teachers' leave fares are very important.
"They are entitled to it.

Australia Funds Six New Mobile Towers to Boost Solomon Islands' Security
"Australia and Solomon Islands have a strong and steadfast friendship, built on shared values and regional interests and enduring community links."
Friday, 27 August 2021 08:48 AM
Australia has agreed to fund the installation of six new mobile phone towers to support the Solomon Islands Government to improve the security and connectivity on its western border area by closing key communications blind spots.
The package was requested by the Solomon Islands Government as part of its COVID-19 preparedness and response efforts.
Australia's Foreign Minister, the Hon Marise Payne, confirmed Australia's funding for the project during a joint ministerial VTC on 25 August. Minister Payne was joined in the VTC by Solomon Islands' counterparts, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade, the Hon Jeremiah Manele, and the Minister for Police, National Security and Correctional Services, Hon Anthony Veke, as well as Australia's Ministers for Home Affairs, the Hon Karen Andrews, and International Development and the Pacific, the Hon Zed Seselja.
The six towers, capable of 3G and 4G connectivity, will be constructed across three provinces: four in the Shortland Islands in Western Province, one on Ontong Java in the Outer Malaitan Islands, and one in Kia in Isabel Province. The towers will utilise Ericsson mobile communications equipment, NEC microwave links and Australian-supplied towers. The construction package will be fully-funded by Australia. Our Telekom has committed to installing, owning, operating and maintaining the infrastructure as part of its broader mobile network. All six towers are expected to be operational by mid-2022.
Foreign Minister Payne said: "Australia is committed to supporting the Solomon Islands Government in its efforts to combat COVID-19 and strengthen border security. These towers complement our policing partnership, longstanding maritime and defence cooperation, and health security collaboration. They will build on our Coral Sea Cable partnership to increase connectivity to remote areas of Solomon Islands."
Minister Veke said, "In addition to improving border security, these towers will help the Government respond to natural disasters, improve service delivery and boost business opportunities for the communities in these border areas."
Minister Manele said, "Improving connectivity for people living in rural areas is a key priority for the Government. Our Telekom's support for this package highlights the important role that the private sector can play in delivering game-changing infrastructure across Solomon Islands."
Minister Payne's confirmation of Australia's funding for the towers follows the several major bilateral initiatives in June, including the groundbreaking ceremony for the Western Border and Patrol Boat Outpost in the Shortland Islands, which will be constructed by the Australian Defence Force, the arrival of the second Guardian Class patrol boat, the RSIPV Taro, and the launch of Australia's SBD$1.5 billion Solomon Islands Infrastructure Program.

The great artist Paul Cezanne was not only a master of the genre of cubism in painting, but was fond of writing landscapes. In these works, the creator most often depicts Provence – his homeland. And he said that the one who was born here would never be interested in such beauty. The universalism that is present in the work of Cezanne is incredible and close to any connoisseur of painting in this area.
At first glance, the picture does not seem to the viewer to be a masterpiece of landscapes, as low-key sketches are too simple in their colors and shades. But if we evaluate the work on the breadth of knowledge of painting, then the quality of nature, like life force, shines in the picture. Gradually the master lays out the perfect outlines of the compositions.
The work of Paul Cezanne "Landscape" combines the bay and the houses, which are neatly lined up on the shore. Trees as if trying to cover their foliage rebuilt houses. The love of nature is the accent that Cezanne was guided by when painting.
Rocks in the distance beckon with their plasticity and angular forms. Weather conditions are calm, as the sea looks as calm as calm. The reality that is present in the work surprises with its neat features. The artist does not seek to single out one thing, therefore the integrity of nature and life is observed by the viewer.
Undoubtedly, Cezanne does not refuse the cubic orientation, but this does not prevent him from showing the purity of the surrounding beauty. The depth of the artist's art reverses the inner state of each. There is no theater and games here, but there is maximalism, which is pronounced and never ceases to amaze. The warmth of the sounds comes from Cezanne's masterpiece, his style can not be confused with anyone. A distinctive feature of the work "Landscape" – was the penetration of the artist into the subtle features of the beauty of the natural world.

Father Megan Markle will miss her daughter's wedding with Prince Harry after suffering a heart attack
in Royals
Alas, Thomas Markle will not take his daughter Megan to the altar on May 19 – the latest news indicates that the father of the bride of Prince Harry will not come to the wedding at all . According to TMZ, Pope Megan Markle suffered a heart attack a week ago, but was discharged from the hospital. Kensington Palace announced the participation of Thomas in the wedding ceremony, but the bride's father hastily changed plans after a dubious story with his photos in the press that happened the other day.
Last week, Western publications published footage in which Thomas Markle took measurements for tailoring a suit, studied a photo album with the sights of Great Britain, read the news on the novel of the daughter and the British prince. At first, many thought that Thomas was so prepared for the upcoming solemn ceremony, which will be held on the coming Saturday in the chapel of St. George in Windsor Castle. And now it turned out that these shots were staged and Thomas Markle only carried out the instructions of the photographers of the agencies, with whom he agreed to cooperate.
(Photo by Yui Mok – WPA Pool/Getty Images)
On what terms did this cooperation take place? Father Megan Markle denies his desire to earn on the sale of photographs, they say, he just wanted a wide distribution of cadres, showing it in a positive light. To the organization of photo shoots, Samantha Markle, the half-sister of Megan , was allegedly involved .
Megan does not maintain a relationship with his stepbrother and sister. Megan loves his father. They experienced different times, but now they have a good relationship,
"says the insider.

Be that as it may, TMZ writes that, after the story with the production photos, Thomas Markle decided to abandon the presence of his daughter at the wedding, because he does not want to embarrass Megan and the royal family.
BATH, ENGLAND – APRIL 06: Meghan Markle attends the UK Team Trials for the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 at the University of Bath Sports Training Village on April 6, 2018 in Bath, England.

Чарльз Френсис Хо́ккет (; 17 января 1916, Колумбус, Огайо — 3 ноября 2000, Итака, Нью-Йорк) — американский лингвист и антрополог, профессор, один из наиболее известных представителей второго поколения американских структуралистов. Труды по общей фонологии и морфологии, методике лингвистического описания, языкам североамериканских индейцев, австронезийским языкам, китайскому языку, а также по антропологии и этнологии.

Биография
Сын университетского преподавателя истории; изучал древнюю историю в университете штата Огайо (1932—1936) и лингвистику в Йельском университете у Эдварда Сепира, где в 1939 году получил докторскую степень. Во время войны служил в армии, занимаясь проблемами обучения военнослужащих иностранным языкам (как он вспоминал позднее, «в 1944 году я мог спросить Где здесь туалет? на 28 языках»). С 1946 года — в Корнеллском университете, где преподавал антропологию и лингвистику до своей отставки в 1982 году.

Член Американской академии искусств и наук (1972) и Национальной академии наук США (1974); был также президентом Американского лингвистического общества.

Вклад в науку
Последователь Сепира и Блумфилда, Хоккет является одним из наиболее известных представителей младшего поколения американских дескриптивистов, считавших основной задачей лингвистики выработку «точных» и «объективных» методов описания языков мира. Хоккет неизменно отстаивал единство лингвистики и антропологии, утверждая, что «лингвистика без антропологии бесплодна, а антропология без лингвистики слепа». Он также известен как один из наиболее едких и бескомпромиссных критиков генеративной парадигмы в лингвистике (a theory spawned by a generation of vipers, по его словам), не принявший подход Хомского и посвятивший критике его трансформационной теории целую книгу «The state of the art» (1968). Позднее, в интервью 1971 года он даже утверждал, что идеи генеративистов «по ценности сродни гороскопам», поскольку сторонники этой школы «отвергли научный подход к сознанию и поведению человека и впали в мистицизм».

В 1940—1950 годах Хоккет активно разрабатывал основы фонологической и особенно морфологической теории. Он считается одним из основателей современной морфологии, которая использует многие предложения Хоккета, касающиеся определения единиц морфологического уровня (в том числе противопоставление «морфов» и «морфем»), методов их анализа и классификации морфологических моделей. Известен терминологический неологизм Хоккета «портманто-морф», введённый им для описания кумулятивных единиц. Классические работы Хоккета по морфологии собраны в хрестоматии «Readings in Linguistics» под ред. М. Джооса (1 изд. 1966).

Romeo Is Bleeding
In Screen Reviews
directed by Jason Zeldes
starring Donte Clark
Leo Persham Pictures
Two cities, both alike in their street cred form Richmond, CA, where we lay our scene. From an ancient grudge it breaks to new mutiny, scattering black bodies everywhere. So what does an ancient British poet have to do with the gangster street scene? Plenty according to Donte Clark, local spoken word artist and poet laureate of Richmond, CA. He started out like all his fellows in this perpetually gang-ridden city until a helpful teacher (Molly Raynor) was able to point him in a positive direction. His current project: a local production of his version of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo hales from North Richmond, Juliet from Central and this is a local feud as bad as anything between the Montagues and Capulets.
While we never see more than a snippet of the well-received show this documentary explores the history and lifestyle of Richmond. This city on San Francisco Bay brought blacks up from the south to build ships and even built them their own ghetto. Richmond wasn't as bad as the south, but still the blacks had to be kept away from the whites. Today industry revolves around the Chevron refinery; it's work but the pollution pushed up the asthma rate and the place tends to explode every 5 or 6 years. This documentary looks at all sides of the city's issues; they police are armed and nervous, the arrest rate hovers around 38%, and for every success story like Donte there are hundreds of failures. We meet people in this film who don't survive to the credits, and overall, there's not much hope. Fun as spoken words might be, it's not a replacement for steady paying jobs and stable families. There's sadness, there's hope and above all this is a snapshot of the 'hood that shows these are real people who would prefer a better life.
This film will be shown as a part of the 2016 Florida Film Festival. For tickets, show times and location please visit www.floridafilmfestival.com

The South Park region has long been revered as a nearly pristine example of well-protected natural resources and existing historic mining and ranching structures. After many years of work to achieve the designation, in March 2009 Congress approved and President Barack Obama signed a bill designating the South Park National Heritage Area – one of less than 50 such congressionally designated areas in the United States that represent the history of the country. The people of South Park believe strongly in the need to protect our abundant cultural and natural resources while encouraging others to enjoy them with us.
The South Park National Heritage Area is managed by the government of Park County, Colorado in cooperation with the South Park National Heritage Area Advisory Board.The Park County Department of Heritage, Tourism, and Community Development utilizes the designation to achieve goals outlined in the Management Plan, along with numerous community partners. The National Park Service serves an advisory role by providing technical, planning, and limited financial assistance to the Heritage Area, but decision-making authority remains in the hands of local people and organizations.
What is a National Heritage Area? (See our Official Page from the National Heritage Area)
National Heritage Areas are designated by Congress as places where natural, cultural, and historic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape. Through their resources, Heritage Areas tell nationally important stories that celebrate our nation's diverse heritage. Heritage Areas are lived-in landscapes. Therefore, Heritage Area entities collaborate with communities to determine how to make heritage relevant to local interests and needs. They are a grassroots, community-driven approach to natural and cultural heritage conservation and economic development. Communities benefit from Heritage Area designation in tangible as well as intangible ways.
Because heritage conservation efforts are grounded in a community's pride in its history and traditions, designation offers a collaborative approach to conservation that does not compromise local control over and use of the landscape. Designation also comes with limited financial and technical assistance from the National Park Service. National Heritage Areas expand the mission of the National Park Service by fostering community stewardship of our nation's heritage. The program, which currently includes 49 Heritage Areas, expands on traditional approaches to resource stewardship by supporting community-driven initiatives that connect local citizens to heritage planning and implementation.
Does the designation affect property rights?
The enabling legislation for the South Park National Heritage Area prohibits the use of any Heritage Area federal funding to acquire real property or an interest in real property (P.L. 111-11, Sec. 8003, (c)(1)). The legislation explicitly requires that within the South Park National Heritage Area all participation is voluntary and all public access is provided voluntarily by the property owner. The designation cannot be used to alter land use regulation or be used to regulate land. It does not alter water rights, does not alter the state's ability to manage fish and wildlife, and cannot create a liability or alter existing liability for injury on any private property (P.L. 111-11, Sec. 8003, (f)(1)-(6)).
Does South Park National Heritage Area have a passport cancellation stamp?
Yes! If you participate in the National Park Service's Passport to Your National Parks© program you can get your passport book stamped when you visit the Heritage Area. Our stamp is currently located at the South Park Ranger District office in Fairplay where you can request the stamp at the counter. Their phone number is 719-836-2031 and they are located at the corner of Highways 9 and 285.

Bill Blair Information
Bill Blair
Bill is now the Guinness World record holder in the category 'most special effect make-up characters portrayed in a career' the new record number set May 6, 2011 is 202.
Born and raised in Kent Ohio, Bill graduated Kent State University, in 1977 with a degree in Telecommunications. But during college, Bill realized that he wanted something else. He embarked on a music career, and in the early 1980's he toured, as the leader of a band called Expression. In 1982, after recovering from a serious injury, he moved to Chicago and shifted to a career in entertainment. His first bit-part in a movie came in 1982 in an American Playhouse film titled "The Killing Floor". By the following summer, Bill was landing featured bit-parts and stand-in work on several films. He got his first speaking role, in 1984, in the TV movie "The Impostor". In late 1984, Bill moved to Dallas. Over the next five years, he kept busy with print ads and industrial shows, and played his first alien character. He portrayed Mr. Spock in an industrial film at the Dallas Convention Center for the Oracle Software Company. In January of 1990, Bill relocated to Los Angeles, then quickly on to Florida in the fall of 1992 and took a job entertaining at the Busch Gardens water park called Adventure Land. In January 1993, Bill returned to Los Angeles. His first experience as an alien on television was in Alien Nation. It started when he met makeup designer Richard Snell, while filming Demolition Man. This led Bill to his first work on the TV movies of "Alien Nation". Since then, he has become one of those few elite actors that seem to specialize in playing aliens from other worlds and of this world long ago. It was from there, that he found himself working on the hit series Babylon 5 and shortly thereafter on the Star Trek:Deep Space Nine. Bill worked all five seasons of Babylon 5 plus two TV movies for TNT, and multiple seasons on DS9. In 1998, Bill worked on the season premiere episode of Sliders. Bill also worked with his friend Peter Jurasik on three "Sliders" episodes in 1999. Since then, Bill has worked on many a TV series, including Star Trek: Voyager, Enterprise, The X-Files, The Invisible Man, Drew Carey, Family Law, The District, Crossing Jordan, Providence, King of Queens, Will and Grace, Yes, Dear!, Friends, Desperate Housewives, Criminal Minds, and as a regular on "The Division" and the HBO Series Carnivale. More recently, Bill has appeared in Blades of Glory, Saving Grace, Justified, Raising Hope, iCarly, The Defenders, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, and Mad Men. And in print, Bill was a featured zombie in the book "The Brain Eater's Bible", released in 2011. As one of a special group of actors that has worked extensively on sci-fi, and fantasy/horror shows, Bill has many behind-the-scenes stories to share about what it took to become this extraordinary type of actor. Additionally, Bill has written a book titled "The Professionals Talent Handbook: The Guide to Getting Started" and he has appeared on the pages of TV Guide (July 5, 1997), and in the August 1998 issue of Galactic Alliance. Interviews with Bill can be found in such publications as the International Star Trek Magazine, Explorer, Pen & Quill, Autograph Times, and TV Zone.

The last post for my artist residency at Ricklundgården and a sad goodbye to the beautiful gardens and lovely staff!
During my stay I have identified 24 birds, visited 4 main locations, and met with 2 birding experts to gather the sound of birdsong. The drawings, prints and installations have been inspired by birdsong, natural objects from the gardens and the rapidly changing weather; from a snow-covered garden and frozen lake one week, to one filled with sprouting flowers and glorious sunshine the next! Finding out where the garden birds have come from and where they will go to next as part of their yearly migration, how to read birdsong on sonograms and just how expensive the food is here! Read more about this at my blog www.drawingbirdsong.wordpress.com, plus my recent reindeer sighting up a mountain, getting tutted at by a Black Grouse and being stuck in the middle of a sing-off between Bramblings!

Hymn Histories: All Praise to God, Who Reigns Above
Johann Jakob Schütz (1640-1690) was eight years old at the conclusion of the Thirty-Years' War, during which Germany was the battleground on which Europeans fought for political power with religious zeal. This war and several smaller conflicts during the 16th and 17th centuries are often lumped together under the rubric of "Wars of Religion." But as David Bentley Hart points out, while religious tensions were high, political ideologies propelled the swords.
"The most protracted and devastating of these conflicts was the Thirty Years' War, which began in 1618 when King Ferdinand of Bohemia (1578-1637) — later Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II — provoked a Protestant uprising in Bohemia by attempting to enforce religious uniformity in his dominions. But Ferdinand certainly had no objection to the aid provided by the Protestant Elector of Saxony in quelling the rebellion. And though, during the first half of the wars that ensued in the German states, foreign Protestant powers entered the fray on the side of the seditious princes, this was hardly a result of religious principle. Nor could religious motives plausibly account for the way in which these wars were absorbed into the struggle between the Catholic Habsburgs and the Catholic Bourbons during the last dozen years of the war (by far the bloodiest phase of the fighting), or for the subventions supplied in 1630 by Cardinal Richelieu (1585-1642) to the Lutheran king of Sweden Gustavus II Adolph (1594-1632) with the blessing of the pope — so that the latter could send troops into Germany, or for France's direct entry into the war in 1635 on the side of the Protestant powers.
This is not to deny that Catholics and Protestants often hated one another quite sincerely in the early modern period, but that hatred was impotent to move armies. Simply stated, the European wars of the early modern period were not in any meaningful sense 'wars of religion.'"
One of the results of these confusing and bloody episodes is that the German population dropped from sixteen million to six million. Another is that the Lutheran Church seemed to have become cold, rote, and mechanical. From within that shell of a church arose a movement of men and women who wanted to inject the body of Christ with a combination of biblical doctrine and personal holiness, or piety. In An Introduction to German Pietism: Protestant Renewal at the Dawn of Modern Europe, Douglas Schantz describes the effect that a new movement of Lutheran and Reformed believers had on the heart of the Church:
"The Pietism movement introduced a new paradigm to traditional German Protestantism, one that encouraged personal renewal and new birth, conventicle gatherings for Bible study and mutual encouragement, social activism and postmillennialism, and ecumenical cooperation — in contrast to the polemical Protestantism that gave rise to the Thirty Years War. Pietism included an eclectic mix of esoteric spirituality, radical Reformation traditions, and biblical devotion, with no clear line separating church Pietists, such as Spener, from the Radicals. The cultural legacy of Pietism includes reforms in caring for the poor and the orphan, new Bible translations, new social networks, experiential literature such as the autobiography and memoir, and worldwide mission."
Philip Jacob Spener
The Spener that Schantz mentions above is Philip Spener, generally considered the father of German Pietism, and that brings us back to the composer of our hymn, Johann Jakob Schütz. Schütz was a lawyer in Frankfort, Germany when he met Spener. The two of them, as well as many others, began small groups called collegia pietatis through which they encouraged and discipled one another. The pietists also produced some of the greatest hymns in the protestant tradition, most of which had to wait until the 19th century to be translated into English. Though Schütz wrote several hymns, this one is the only one still in use. It also happens to have been the inspiration for J.S. Bach's Cantata BWV 117.
And since we're talking about Bach in the context of glorifying God, it is well worth noting that Bach famously signed all of his church compositions (and some of his "secular" works) with the initials SDG, or the full words Soli Deo Gloria. His contemporary George F. Handel often did the same.
Bach's valediction on the reverse side of the last fugue of The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I
(For more on the German Pietists, see here and here, and here. For more on J.S. Bach and his theology, see here.)
Here is the text of Schütz's hymn:
All praise to God, Who Reigns Above
All praise to God, who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of wonders, pow'r, and love,
the God of our salvation!
With healing balm my soul he fills,
the God who every sorrow stills.
To God all praise and glory!
What God's almighty pow'r hath made
his gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning dawn or evening shade
his watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
within the kingdom of his might,
lo, all is just and all is right.
I cried to him in time of need:
Lord God, O hear my calling!
For death he gave me life indeed
and kept my feet from falling.
For this my thanks shall endless be;
O thank him, thank our God, with me.
The Lord forsaketh not his flock,
his chosen generation;
he is their refuge and their rock,
their peace and their salvation.
As with a mother's tender hand
he leads his own, his chosen band.
Ye who confess Christ's holy name,
to God give praise and glory!
Ye who the Father's pow'r proclaim,
All idols underfoot be trod,
the Lord is God! The Lord is God!
Then come before his presence now
and banish fear and sadness;
to your Redeemer pay your vow
and sing with joy and gladness:
Though great distress my soul befell,
the Lord, my God, did all things well,

Cannes -- "In the opinion of our independent judging panel, the Sony Ericsson T610 is a great phone, which is really easy to use for communication as well as imaging. They believed it opens up access to applications and technologies that people were not using before," says Mark Smith, Communications Director of the GSM Association.
"During its time on the market, the T610 camera phone has grown to become one of the true design classics among current consumer products and together with its great ease-of-use, the T610 deserves to be selected as the best mobile phone," says Jan Woreby, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "On behalf of our organisation that made this happen, I'm proud and grateful to receive this prominent award, and we take it as a further confirmation of that Sony Ericsson is on the right track with its product family of mobile phones."
The T610 has a stunning design; sleek, simple and stylish, combining a unique aluminium finish with a contrasting piano-black lacquer. Its large 65K colour screen, integrated camera and QuickShare(tm) functionality makes mobile imaging simple and entertaining for all. Added to this are great MMS capabilities, the support of PC applications, making T610 the core of a compelling total imaging package.
Having fun is part of the appeal of T610. With support for two mobile gaming platforms, Java(tm) and Mophun(tm), consumers can play well-known games such as V-Rally 2(tm) as well as download literally hundreds of new games. For the budding DJ, T610 has a built in Music DJ application which lets consumers create their own polyphonic ringtones.
The T610 has serious business uses too. It stays connected to e-mails and keeps contacts, calendar and tasks up to date by easy synchronising with PC or Mac. With Bluetooth(tm), Infra Red and cable support, connecting to PC, Mac, PDA or other device could not be easier.
To further expand the usages of the T610, Sony Ericsson offers a wide range of accessories, such as the Sony Ericsson FM Radio handsfree HPR-20 or the Digital Bluetooth Music Player handsfree HBM-30. There is also a range of compatible car kits for safe driving. For those without a car or driver's licence, the Car-100 is a matchbox-sized racing car which can be raced across the floor, controlled over Bluetooth with the T610.

The Forest Climate Working Group, a coalition of 19 advocacy organizations, submitted six recommendations to the Obama Administration's Climate Change Initiative, advocating a leading role for privately owned forests. Recommendations include budget increases for the Forest Inventory and Analysis program, increased research funding for initiatives ranging from evaluation of natural disturbances to forest product consumption, and promotion of forest product markets. Working Group co-chairs Rita Hite (American Forest Foundation) and Jad Daley (The Trust for Public Land) co-authored an April 7 blog-post summarizing the coalition's position and linking to background on the six recommendations.

IN DEFENCE OF HYPOCRISY
Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell is accused of being a hypocrite because he would not give a Senate hearing to an Obama nominee 9 months before the 2016 election, citing that the newly elected president should have the authority to appoint the replacement for Scalia, yet now he is rushing to get a nominee who will be selected by Trump in just weeks before the 2020 election.
Yes, McConnell said what he said. The situation has changed four years later, and four years is a very long time in political discourse. The country is more divided than I have seen it in my lifetime. I would even say we are as near to an armed civil conflict as we have been since the Civil War. Uprisings and civil unrest are surpassing the Vietnam era. The two parties cannot get together on anything even when it comes to helping the unemployed buy a loaf of bread. Impeachment is threatened a second time by Nancy Pelosi. Given this escalated level of unbridled hatred, I would be surprised if either party would honor the rhetoric of four years ago.
Obama tried to get his nominee in when he had the nominating power in 2016. McConnell would not go with that because he had the veto power. Practically it would have made no difference as the Supreme Court nominee would likely have been rejected by a Republican Senate anyway, if he had been granted a hearing. It would have wasted a lot of time and rivaled the Kavanaugh hearing in political mudslinging. I suspect that was the real reason McConnell did not want to put the Senate through that spectacle. But that didn't resonate honorably either, so he came up with a politically more correct reason. Shame on him for trying to be politically correct.
To let an opportunity to waterproof the Supreme Court's conservative majority is a chance that likely will not come again for generations. If the Presidency and Senate flip, the next Supreme Court Justices will then be a four-five liberal to conservative mix. On the other hand, because Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch often cross the divide, this exposes all the conservative holy grail issues to the risk of reversal. To fail to secure the opportunity to solidify the conservative position would not only be stupid but sell out all the people that elected the current group of Senators. The next election may be a Democratic sweep. If the judicial branch also has the potential to turn left, it would guarantee radical changes in our form of government. Keeping the Supreme Court on the conservative side may be the only means that conservatives will have to stop the Socialists to radically transform the country.
Stupid vs. Hypocracy is the choice. Had the situation been reversed under an Obama, Clinton, or Johnson Senate, what would the Senate Majority leader have done? Hypocrisy may not be virtuous, but it is defendable; stupidity and failure to represent your constituency are not!

You will find and be a mentor to people. You will also find inspiration and be an inspiration to people. You will learn to become awesome and also teach people on how to become awesome at Spark Fest.
The idea of creating an event, so epiphany – inducing for people who are passionate about their talents excited Vihari Eyyuni and Balamurali Pandranki. They both immediately co-founded The Spark Fest. Sitting out in the Moonshine Project, Vihari and Murali met an old friend Vikram, who is a passionate blogger and networker. He fell in love with the idea of making one's passion as their profession.
The Spark Fest stands as a single hotspot for passion and talents from all the domains there is for the youth to explore. They can learn and along the way, discover their true self. "If at the end of the Spark Fest, I were to ask any 1 of the 2000 attendees 'What their takeaway was from the fest?' and if any 1 of those 2000 say that they have found a profound clarity of how they can fuel their passion and shape a life out of it, I would consider my mission accomplished", Murali said.


Makeup needs to work for you. Plain and simple. With the spike in BB creams and foundations that do more than just cover and actually treat skin, it seems appropriate that primers would steer this way as well. Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum represents the next-gen base for makeup. Its primary value prop is skincare with a powerhouse of plant extracts, vitamins and essential oils to perfect your complexion.
It's skin-softening, hydrating and nutrient-rich formula is an ideal base for makeup. Hourglass added some silicone, which gives it a nice slip, and helps makeup go on smoother. While silicones aren't my favorite, I ain't mad at 'em here. The 28 other ingredients make up for it and I'll admit, I like the silky texture.
The essential oils all help to soothe the skin in some way. Lavender is a known healer. Orange peel has natural toning properties. Vanilla is relaxing. Geranium is balancing. Rosemary is decongesting. And, the 10 plant oils bring the moisture. Cherry Pit is conditioning to the skin. Green tea brings the antioxidant power. Evening Primrose is neutralizing. Rose Hip Seed is regenerative. Vitamins A, B5, C and E join the party, too, and make those plant oils work a little harder.
So how to wear No. 28? Under makeup but over moisturizer? First thing after you wash your face? What about SPF? According to Hourglass, you make the rules. I prefer it over moisturizer , directly underneath my makeup. But, you can ever wear this at night with no makeup at all. Hourglass even says you put it in your hair – though we haven't tested it that way yet.
The benefits of priming with plant oils will be seen over time. This is an innovation we totally dig.
