The Banner Saga är ett taktiskt, episodiskt datorrollspel som handlar om vikingar. Det utvecklas av tre indiespelsutvecklare som kallar sig Stoic, som ursprungligen kommer från det kanadensiska datorspelsföretaget Bioware.

Februari 2013 släpptes en gratis multiplayerversion av spelet på Steam, vid namn The Banner Saga: Factions.

Utveckling
Alex Thomas, Arnie Jorgensen och John Watson som tidigare jobbade för det kanadensiska företaget Bioware slutade efter att ha varit med och utvecklat Star Wars: The Old Republic för att själva utveckla ett eget spel.

Spelet släpptes först till Windows och Macintosh, sedan till Linux, IOS, Playstation Network och Xbox Live Arcade.

Spelupplägg

Spelet är väldigt driven av den historia som berättas, och spelaren får följa med flera olika karaktärer i historien. Spelaren influerar karaktärernas val (i form av dialog alternativ) och formar på så sätt hur detaljer i historien utspelar sig.

Striderna i spelet utspelas på ett rutnät, där spelaren får själv styra sina figurers handlingar. Spelaren och datorn turas om vartannat att göra "drag" (som i schack) med sina karaktärer i den turordning som bestäms av en kö längst ner på skärmen. (Obs finns ett undantag ifall en karaktärs klass ("warleader") special förmåga används för att åsidosätta turordningen i kön).

Utvecklarna siktade mot att skapa ett spel som var riktat mot en äldre publik i stil med TV-serien Game of Thrones och fantasybokserien The Black Company.

The Banner Saga: Factions
The Banner Saga: Factions är ett fristående kostnadsfritt spel som släpptes på Steam den 15 februari 2013.

Uppföljare
En uppföljare, kallat The Banner Saga 2, ska släppas till Windows, Playstation 4 och Xbox One under 2016.

WEEK FOURTEEN RESULTS
December 9, 2021 December 21, 2021 John Stovall 2021
WEEK FOURTEEN WINNER: Michael Patton. Mic drop, meet Michael Patton. Michael entered the week in 1st place. That wasn't enough. He proceeded to win the weekly award by dropping 131 points on the group and running away with the PP6 championship.
The overall and lock winning percentages were pretty terrible: 43.2% and 33.1%, respectively.
Michael Patton was the only person to go 6-0. Yeah, I know.
Seven people went 0-6. For the year, the 0-6s outpaced the 6-0s by a margin of 62 to 52.
Michael Patton was 80 points clear of 2nd place. Its the biggest margin of victory since Chad Akers win in 2013. He was 95 points clear of 2nd.
Michael had a winning percentage of 67.9%, which is the 2nd highest total in PP6 history. Its second only to Chad Capra's 60-28-2 (68.2%) performance from 2019.
Three people jumped into the Top Ten in the final week: Casey Noonan, Tony Juan and Austin Browning.
Casey Noonan finished in 6th place despite a 4-10 lock record.
Matt George was inches away from cracking the Top Ten, despite entering the week in 52nd place.
The final gap between 1st place and 10th place was 183 points, which equals the gap between 10th place and 185th place!
Dusty Weatherly finished the season with a lock record of 12-1-1. Michael Patton finished 2nd at 12-2. Garrett Green and Chelsie were tied for 3rd at 11-3.
Tyler H finished 1-12-1 on his locks. The OG was 1-11-1.
Jake Bergmann won the "Best Finish" with a record of 18-6 (385 points). Matt George was right behind him at 17-7.
The group majority went 6-5 ATS, despite an overall winning percentage of just 48.5%.
Home underdogs were 2-0 ATS. For the year, they won 62.7% of the time.
The most popular picks of the week (Georgia, Oklahoma State and Houston) were ATS losers.
Alabama vs Georgia was the most popular game of the week and the most popular game of the year (partly because the options were limited to 11 games). Alabama upset Georgia to win the SEC title.
Oklahoma State was the most popular lock of the week and most popular lock of the year. They lost outright to Baylor.
Not much of a surprise here, but NIU vs Kent State was the least popular game of the year. Only 61 people picked a side in the game. NIU won the game as an underdog.
Dusty Weatherly defeated Brad Knowles for the Bracket championship.

MAHAHUAL, Q. Roo — A Piper Saratoga plane crashed in Mahahual with five persons aboard as it was attempting to take off Wednesday afternoon Jan. 25.
According to preliminary reports, all five people traveling on the aircraft were injured, although their exact injuries were not known.
Aboard the aircraft were the pilot and four more passengers, apparently foreign tourists. The plane bore the registration XB-OBB which was reportedly licensed from Aerocum company.
The aircraft took off at about 1:30 pm, but then reported problems and attempted a forced landing on rocky ground a few meters from the sea, near Costa Maya cruise pier, about a mile and a half from the center of Mahahual.
Army personnel came to the site to inspect the aircraft and gather information about the circumstances of the accident.


Commercial concrete is a general term that focuses on specific enhancements of your commercial location or locations. These developments can improve anything from your business, company or facility to warehouses, restaurants or retail stores and malls. Though commercial concrete is just one type compared to industrial, residential and others, we know that all jobs are just as important as the next. Our commercial concrete services are above the rest because we take the necessary precautions and details to ensure a properly installed concrete way and provide aesthetic pleasing layouts. We know not every job is the same as the next, which is why it's important to us to treat your small residential concrete job to a major commercial concrete job and vice versa.
We treat commercial concrete jobs like residential jobs, taking necessary precautions & details.
Our concrete services rely on our staff to be accountable and diligent in every way. When hired for a commercial concrete job, or any concrete job for that matter, we make sure that we deliver and transform your ideas onto concrete layouts. Our knowledgeable staff works with you every step of the way so that you know you are receiving the best services possible. Our customers have needs and wants and we strive ourselves to meet every demand and request until the job is done exactly how you wanted your commercial concrete.
Everywhere we go, we see commercial concrete. Whether you're walking the path between or around buildings, to the interior parts of the building. Because commercial locations need to be durable, stable and look good, commercial concrete allows for businesses and companies to have dependent structures and details to last them for years to come. We know that your company or business aims to bring in customers and keep them satisfied. We aim to build our customer's location or facility to perfect expectations so that you have the place you want for your own customers. In order to give your commercial location exactly what it needs, we mix a heavy-duty concrete that creates a lasting, durable, and strong concrete that withstands anything that comes its way.
When thinking about commercial concrete, it's important to know what you're getting in to. From commercial footings and walls to materials, draintiles, flooring, polish, uses and more. Because we care about our customers, we go over everything from top to bottom, from mixing to pouring.
Commercial footings are among many great capabilities of commercial concrete. The footing, or the foundation's foundation, lies at the base of all buildings, facilities, homes and so on. The great part about footings, is that they don't have to be excessive in order to work effectively. It all depends on the soil we build on. It's important to know and research soil to know just how to handle the structure of commercial footings so that there are no problems later.
We take extra precaution when dealing with soft soil for footings. We have our research done and consult specialists when needed for tougher jobs. We will never build on soil we think will cause you problems later. We want to build you a safe and secure foundation and that starts with the commercial footings.
Just as it sounds, commercial walls are the walls built up around your business or location. Because we strive for perfection, we offer multiple types of commercial walls and options to perfect the kind of structure you need. Our commercial walls include, but not limited to reinforced walls, tilt-up walls, tall walls, non-traditional material walls and more.
To explain, we'll start with reinforced walls. Reinforced walls are poured direct with concrete and other materials such as fibers or fillers. This allows for maximum stability in walls and structure for your facility. By filling walls directly in place with the commercial concrete, it sets and becomes stronger.
Tilt-up walls, which are increasing in popularity, are reinforced walls that are poured direct but go into a certain panel that are "tilt-up." These kinds of walls are cost-efficient and minimize time in building. Because the concrete is poured and then dried, we can build quickly by bringing up the walls to put into place and do so with multiple walls. Tilt-walls are also great because though they are quick and cost-efficient, they don't compensate for less quality. These walls still form strong and sturdy walls for your place.
Tall walls, which are sometimes difficult to construct and perfect, are among our great capabilities. Because tall walls are more give, we take all the proper precautions and measures to ensure a strong and sturdy wall. Because certain requirements and measurements must be taken, our team is equipped with the best tools and resources needed. Our knowledgeable staff will cover all the grounds before building and then double and triple-check every point in constructing to build you the walls that will meet your standards.
In additional to these commercial walls, we also offer non-traditional walls made up of materials like wood, aluminum or printed/designed walls. We know that your business, restaurant, call center, etc., is important to you and you may want something that shows consumers just how unique you are. Our construction of walls using other materials is the perfect option for you. We can give you an urban-contemporary look and feel with aluminum walls. This provides strength to your location but also gives it a unique look that makes your place memorable. Or go with our wooden walls to give your location a comfortable yet sharp design. Give your location its own personality with these non-traditional wall materials while not having to compromise on durability.
Appearance is key in getting consumers and customers in the door. Many people want to go to a business with class and prominence. While your structure in your commercial walls and footing is important, concrete floors also add beautiful design and structure to your company.
The more people come in and out the door, the more wear and tear goes on your commercial flooring. It's important to choose flooring that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also effective over the years. With our commercial flooring, we have great insight on what would best suit you.
Floors can involve multiple elements. Because we have years of experience, we can get down to the nitty gritty and find exactly what kind of commercial flooring works best for you and your company. Because the foot traffic on floor gives the most wear and tear, we recommend commercial flooring with stains, finishes and made of only the finest mixtures of cement. With our commercial flooring, we make sure to provide you with easy-to-clean surfaces as well as a great, classy look for your location. But keep in mind, floors must also be safe. Because the flooring receives the most traction, it also is susceptible to people slipping. Our mixture of concrete floors keeps people safe and won't cause people to slip and slide.
We know great companies have multiple customers, which means more and more travel across your floors. Of course that's exactly what you want, so we provide you with safe, durable yet beautiful floors. With less damage and high-resistance to damage, our commercial flooring is perfect for any restaurant, company, facility and more.
Commercial locations are expected to have customers, employees and many other resources come and go. Because of this, it's important to invest in parking. Commercial parking lots invite people to come by making it convenient and easy to get to.
Our commercial concrete includes but are not limited to a wide range of uses such as sidealks, porches, rampways, stairs, driveways, and more. Because of our diverse knowledge of concrete and resources, our staff can provide the best services to best fill your needs for any use!
We know not every commercial location is the same, so we offer a wide range of options to give your location. Our luxury uses and resources can give your place the best enhancements. Contact us to find out more about special luxurious accommodations to put in place for your commercial location!
Our commercial concrete is not just a slab of mixed materials. With your staff and team, we offer the best services in commercial concrete out there. We can help you with every aspect of concrete, making us your one-stop-shop. We know our ins and outs of concrete from flooring, walls, and tiles to sidewalks, parking lots and more. With our knowledge and extreme capabilities, you know you're getting the very best and at our great price.


I've long admired Land of Nod's progressive take on lighting. I might even like theirs better because it seems to have a gold interior. Very chic. Wonder where I could put one (or more) of these?? Thanks for the heads up - you are a wealth of shopping knowledge!

[ARCHIVED] Beachwood's La Place will be home to first Container Store in Northern Ohio
The Container Store, a specialty national retailer offering creative home and office storage solutions, will open its first Northeast Ohio location in the spring of 2017 at La Place in Beachwood.
This is the first major tenant announcement at La Place since General Growth Properties Inc. purchased the shopping center in 2015. To make room for The Container Store, KA Architecture has designed a new image for the east portion of LaPlace and created plans for raising the roof of the former Borders bookstore.
"We're thrilled that such a key retailer is coming to Beachwood. I'd like to welcome The Container Store, which will be joining many other quality retailers who serve customers in our city,'' said Mayor Merle S. Gorden, who makes the announcement after drawings were submitted to the Building Department to raise the former bookstore's roof.
"I also want to thank General Growth Properties for securing this tenant for the residents of Beachwood and surrounding communities," he added. "This is key to reinventing La Place, which is what General Growth was planning from the get-go.''
General Growth bought La Place with several goals, including bringing new tenants to the shopping center, City of Beachwood and Greater Cleveland, and becoming a more supporting neighbor to Beachwood Place, which the company also owns and is currently expanding.
Construction work at La Place is expected to be on-going through spring 2017.
The Container Store's footprint will cover about 25,000 square feet utilizing all of the space of the former bookstore plus additional second-floor space. The bookstore remodeling is well underway. Whiting-Turner Contracting Company is the contractor on the project. Interior drawings of the store are expected to be submitted in the near future.
The store will have direct access from the parking lot on the south side of the project, as well as access from the enclosed garage and from within the enclosed mall concourse.
Currently, the closest Container Stores are in Columbus, Ohio and in Troy, Michigan.


Our spa services include aquatic exercise, fitness training and the company of other people. You can create a personal outdoor life programme – either by using your own or rental equipment. The surrounding waterway offers the opportunity for swimming, fishing and canoeing, among other things. You can also enjoy nature walks on forest footpaths, or romantic moments on the beach around a camp fire. We recommend skiing and snowshoe walks in wintertime. In the snowy season, our guests have access to a skiing track with electric lighting, and to a snowmobile route maintained by Varkaus Town.

Benefit FAQ's for supporters
How do I select a beneficiary?
Written by Chris Kiser
In the main menu, click on Beneficiaries.
Click on School OR Nonprofit.
Enter the name of your beneficiary. It can be a portion of the name or you can search by zip code if you're having trouble. Click on the beneficiary once it appears.
Click on the campaign you would like to choose. There may only be one choice - General Funds. Click on "Select Campaign" on the bottom.
Congrats! You are now supporting your cause.
If you're having trouble finding your cause, or you're wondering about which campaign to choose, you may want to reach out to your administrator.
If you're supporting a school and you'd like to only support your child, the administrator does have the ability to turn that option on with the Benefit app. They would need to do that from the admin dashboard. If they aren't sure how, or you still have more questions, please email us at support@benefit-mobile.com or message us within the Benefit app under Settings/Messages.
If you cannot find your school or nonprofit at all, try searching by a portion of the name, in both categories (nonprofit and school) and also try abbreviations or nicknames. The administrator chooses the name for the cause, and if you're having issues finding it, they might like to know so they can update the name.

German economy and energy minister Peter Altmaier has presented a draft strategy with the aim to secure and create global economic and technological leadership of key German and European industries. These include the auto industry, which is dealing with big changes due to the emissions scandal, and the development of e-mobility and automated driving. Globalisation and innovation, as well as state intervention and the fact that some countries increasingly abandon multilateralism has put pressure on European companies and industry sectors, which these alone might not be able to deal with, Altmaier told journalists in Berlin.
In such cases, the minister calls for support by European governments, such as funding or changing regulatory conditions, for example by making company mergers easier. European battery cell production should receive financial support, as well as help to form consortia, writes Altmaier. Governments might also have to buy temporary stakes in companies under pressure of being taken over, for instance when they are relevant for national security or critical infrastructure - such as Germany did with grid operator 50Hertz. Regarding the "paramount question" of autonomous driving, a direct stake by states also "seems necessary and justified", writes Altmaier in his paper, and proposes a state fund from which this could be financed.
The minister also said that increasing electricity prices are a problem for companies in international competition, but he did not make a proposal on how to cushion these. Germany's coal exit commission has recently proposed to compensate consumers for rising prices due to a state-driven phase-out of coal power. The strategy now has to be debated with the industry itself, unions, parliamentarians, within the federal government and European partners, the minister said.

Rookie Records ist ein Label mit angeschlossenem Musikverlag mit den Schwerpunkten Punkrock, Post-Punk und Independent. Das Label wurde 1996 gegründet und hat seinen Sitz in Hamburg.

Labelgeschichte
Rookie Records entstand, weil niemand das Album von Attention!Rookies, Jürgen Schattners damaliger Band, veröffentlichen wollte. Also gründete er sein eigenes Label. Was als Notlösung begann, wurde schnell zum Geheimtipp im Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis. Es folgten Veröffentlichungen unter anderem der Walter Elf-Nachfolgeband Kick Joneses, Spermbirds, Turbostaat in Kooperation mit Schiffen, Terrorgruppe, The Jones und Stokoe (feat. Dickie Hammond/Leatherface). Von 1999 bis 2005 betrieb Schattner das Label als Seitenprojekt seiner hauptberuflichen Tätigkeit beim Mailorder Flight13 Records in Freiburg. In Kooperation mit Boss Tuneage, UK, brachte Rookie Records in Deutschland Reissues bekannter Hardcore- und Punkbands wie Heresy, Ripcord, Dan oder Sofahead heraus.

2008 erweiterte Jürgen seine Aktivitäten in Richtung Musikverlag und gründete zusammen mit Gerhard Zimmermann, Mute Music Promotion (mmp), die Edition Rookie Publishing, die sich seitdem für die Label-Bands auch um die Vermarktung ihrer Musik kümmert. Mittlerweile zählen auch Bands wie die Aeronauten, Pascow, Love A, Bambix, Loaded, The Stanfields und Puta Madre Brothers zum Label. Jürgen Schattner hat Rookie Records von 2006 bis Sommer 2015 in Köln betrieben, seitdem lebt er in Hamburg und betreibt dort Label, Verlag und Promotion.

Our beloved wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, cousin and dear friend, Ruth Ann Edwards-Harvey, was born on January 27, 1946, in Camden, Arkansas to the Christian lineage of the late Calvin and Mary Magdalene (Williams) Edwards. Ruth Ann was the maternal granddaughter of the late Willie 'Bumblebee' Williams and Burlie Nails Polk and the paternal granddaughter of the late Josephus and Hattie Willingham Edwards.
In her early teens, Ruth Ann accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She was an active member of the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist in Camden, Arkansas. God gifted Ruth in music for her voice that cultivated a configuration of an angel. She was the lead soloist in the Junior Choir, an active member of the church's Sunday School, Baptist Training Union (BTU) and a proud member of the Edwards Sisters Quartet. Ruth Ann graduated from Lincoln High School in Camden, Arkansas, and advanced her education at Arkansas Agricultural Mechanics & Normal College, presently known as the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
In a rush to class, she met and fell in love with the great Louis "Birdman" Harvey. They got married on June 7, 1964, and would have celebrated 55 years of everlasting love and friendship this year. To this union, three children were born.
In 1965, Ruth and Louis moved to Benton Harbor, Michigan, and have been residents of their beloved community for 54 years. Through them and many others, she continued to maximize a legacy of not living forever, but merely creating something that will. Ruth's degree in Psychology allowed God's call to gift and purpose. She was an advocate for young people, always inspiring, motivating and standing in the gap during their developmental journeys. She was indeed a trailblazer.
Ruth Ann was the first, African-American and Woman, who served as the Director of Patient Accounts at both Mercy and Memorial Hospitals. Along with Cedarwood Medical Center, Ruth Ann worked in the field of medicine for over thirty-two years. She was a part of the "Leadership Team" that merged Mercy and Memorial Hospitals, now known as Spectrum Health Lakeland Medical Hospital.
After retiring from hospital administration, Ruth found a new home as the Equipment Manager for Benton Harbor Area Schools Athletic Department. It was during this time, her impact became even more profound as she became the Ambassador of Benton Harbor Athletics and Administration by becoming an advocate for Title IX, equity and equality for young women who participated in sports.
Her leadership expanded far beyond the standard of basic care for athletic equipment. Ruth's pride, vision, love and unwavering dedication to the student-athletes were undeniably unprecedented. The love and level of care that Ruth has shown was so evident, every young person that she came in contact with, she became infamously known as "Nana" to them all.
The essence of her humanity embodied imbrued meaningful touches filled with unconditional love and forgiveness. With just one small gesture and a famous quote or two, Ruth Ann has truly changed the lives of so many aspiring people. Her presence cultivated a mood of solitary fantasy which transformed a million realities.
Her words resembled a library of necessities and a luxury of self-love. The "Whole Nine Yards" of her selfless teachings, encouraged others to adapt to life events, changing the plan, but never the goal. She once said, "I will always be able to look at you, but will you always be able to look at me?" Well, Ruth Ann, now the sky is your limit. "Nana" will truly be missed.
She leaves fond memories in the hearts of her loving husband of 55 years, Louis "Lou" Harvey; one son, Tony Harvey, two beautiful daughters, Felicia (Lisa) Harvey and Stephannnie Harvey-Vandenberg; one son in love, Kyle Vandenberg; three wonderful grandchildren, Kalabrya Le'Brae, Kysre Rae, and Grant Kalon Louis Gondrezick II; seven exemplary sisters, Carolyn Delois (Linny Ray) Oakley, Barbara Ann (Charles Edward) Johnson, both of Camden, Arkansas; Mary Catherine Guillory of Lake Charles, Louisiana; Burlie Elizabeth (Michael) Hansen of De Soto, Texas; Brenda, Sharilyn Edwards, and Marilyn Sue Edwards of Detroit, Michigan; three brothers, Charles Lewis and Larry Wayne (Laddy) Edwards both of Benton Harbor; and Kelvin Edwards of Antioch, California; three aunts, Barbara and Mary Scott both of Camden, Arkansas; and Linda Faye Williams from Little Rock, Arkansas; a special son, Prentice McGruder of Benton Harbor; a special granddaughter Lexus Johnson; one god daughter Sharon (Damarco) James, two god grandchildren Dyamond and Damarco James and a host of nieces, nephews, great- nieces, great-nephews, cousins, Lady Tigers, Benton Harbor High School, family and dear friends.

Durst plants roots in Australia to service Oceania
Manufacturer of advanced digital production technologies, Durst, has officially launched in Oceania with the opening of its first office, in Melbourne, and the amalgamation of its distributor, Photo Electronic Services' (PES) staff.
As part of the company's establishment in the country, Durst A/NZ sales manager Matt Ashman has been promoted to the role of managing director for the region.
Speaking exclusively to Sprinter, Ashman said the move makes the Australian office the 22nd subsidiary for the business.
"Four years ago, I joined the A/NZ industry from Durst Europe to build the operations of our distribution partner, Photo Electronic Services," he said.
"Photo Electronic Services was our distributor in Australia and under the stewardship of Paul Taylor, did a great job for more than 20 years. Durst Phototechnic has bought out PES, and going forward, we will be known as Durst Oceania."
Durst has been in operation internationally for more than 80 years and is based out of Northern Italy. It started off with photographic cameras and photographic printers, then moved into inkjet printing about 12 years ago.
The Durst Group is privately owned.
According to Ashman, the company's first point of focus is to support our existing customer base, then focus on its large-format P5 platform and direct-to-media labelling and packaging solution, Tau, into the region.
"By far, our biggest market is large format print, but we have other areas within the Pareto inkjet arena, for example labelling, ceramic tile decoration, textile decoration, etc. and packaging is coming up quickly on our horizon," he said.
"And that's part of the reason for Durst wanting to establish its presence in Australia. It's a big market for packaging – we're talking about folding carton and flexible packaging."
Ashman also added that the establishment of the new premises will provide the business plenty of opportunity in Oceania.
"It shows Durst's commitment to the region moving forward. We're interested in bringing the company's global solutions to customers in Oceania, and growing Durst Oceania from strength to strength," he said.
"We're excited about this opportunity."
Durst Group CEO and joint owner Christoph Gamper, who has led the company's transition and introduced a new management structure, thanked PES for its support.
"We are extremely grateful to the work dedication of PES… as a long-standing Durst distributor. But now we move forward and welcome Durst Oceania to our growing family," he said.
"Matt and his team epitomise our new business philosophy: a passion for technologies and markets, with innovation as the driver, and active collaboration and participation in every area. Durst Oceania is an important strategic step as we continue to shape the future and grow our business."
Durst Oceania will be located in Tullamarine, Melbourne.

Life at Cloudibility (XIII): Houston, we have a website!
It literally took us a year and we close to create an urban myth in regards to cloudibility.io, but we finally managed it: We have a working website!
Life at Cloudibility (XII): Es begann vor einem Jahr – und Sie sollten unser Geburtstagsevent keinesfalls verpassen!
Vor einem Jahr gründeten Michael Dombek und ich, Karsten Samaschke, die Cloudibility. Wir hatten einige Ideen und Erwartungen in Bezug darauf, wie sich unsere Firma entwickeln soll und was wir unseren Kunden anbieten wollten.
Die schlichte Wahrheit jedoch ist: Wir lagen sowas von falsch damit!
A year ago, Cloudibility was founded by Michael Dombek and me, Karsten Samaschke. We had some expectations in regards to how we wanted to grow the company and what we wanted to offer to our customers. Truth is: We were plain wrong!
Life at Cloudibility (XI): Plus 2!
It's beginning of August – and today two new members of our Cloudibility Team start their journey with us. And, additionally, two others, who joined in July, need to be introduced as well.
Chris is a very skilled and talented Security Engineer, which is into DevOps approaches and -technologies, such as Ansible, ELK, Grafana, etc., as well. He will allow us to put even more focus on Cloud Security and Security processes. Welcome on board, Chris!
Sven is an experienced Project Manager, with a lot of knowledge around processes and ITIL. He will be working as DevOps Manager, utilizing his experiences in classical and traditional processes in order to learn from them when setting up agile DevOps processes. It will be a challenge for him, our customers and ourselves in each other projects, since he knows both worlds. We like that and are happy to have him with us!
Pratibha started working for us mid-July. She is DevOps engineer, has experiences around AWS and Azure, as well in automatizing processes and tools. She immediately impresses with her knowledge and open mind. We are glad to have her in our team!
Rahul is an experienced Java engineer, who joined us mid-July at the same time as Pratibha. He is currently working in our test department and does very important work for something yet to be announced. We love, how he takes responsibility and learns about new approaches and processes!
We will have another four people joining our company in August and beginning of September. We're so proud of each of them, since they are hand-picked and bright minds, without any exception.
Life at Cloudibility (IX): I will never ever hire that person!
I said this quite often during several projects over the last years – and often directed to persons being "difficult" with regards to discussing hard, having different opinions, contradicting a Product Owner or an Architect with thoughtful arguments. This is something you will have to accept, even if it is hard to do so. And it is exhausting, it is stressful working with such people on a day-by-day basis.
But, I changed my mind.
Or, to put it differently, I am now in a position where I want to have such characters around me. Here at Cloudibility, we want persons having their own ideas and their own minds, we want them to contradict us and to proove us to be wrong.
We want to have such minds around us. Of course, they will have to stick to our rules of respect and culture, they will need to be compatible with customers and the team. But besides this: Have your own mind, contradict, improve, overtake us!

Tommy Gilbert Jr's mother Shelley is preparing to testify against him in her husband's murder case.
Son 'killed dad' as mum fetched sandwich
by Rebecca Rosenberg
SHE loves her husband's killer - as only a mother could.
When the trial of alleged Ivy League murderer Thomas Gilbert Jr opens in Manhattan this month, the prosecution's star witness will be his own mother, who told the New York Post in an exclusive interview that she knows her privileged son pulled the trigger - but says it was only under the weight of severe mental illness.
"I don't have any choice. You have to do it,'' Shelley Gilbert said of testifying against her son, 34-year-old Princeton graduate Tommy.
"It was obvious he'd done it,'' the mum said, speaking at length for the first time since the January 2015 slaying of her 70-year-old hedge-fund founder husband, Thomas Sr.
"There was no one else around," she added. "Most trials you have to prove who did it. That's not true of this one. What's cruel is I have to relive it on the stand.''
On the day of the killing, Gilbert Jr. asked his mother to go out to get him a sandwich - and while she was gone, he argued with his dad in his parents' bedroom in the family's $A8600-a-month rented apartment in Turtle Bay.

Prosecutors say the son was furious at his financier father for trimming his $A4300-a-month allowance by $A290.
Shelley returned to the apartment, found her husband and called 911. After police had arrived, her son called her and nonchalantly suggested that "they get a bite to eat."
Gilbert Jr. eventually returned to his Chelsea apartment, where he barricaded himself inside and was later arrested.
Shelley recalled finding her husband's body and immediately realising who had pulled the trigger. She said she thought to herself, "Tommy, you're far sicker than we ever knew."
"That wasn't Tommy," she said. "He was always a rational thinker."
Shelley said her son's conduct both before and after the murder make it inarguably plain that he was in the throes of a psychotic break. "He's not an evil person,'' the mother said.
But prosecutors say Gilbert Jr., who attended the prestigious Tony Buckley and Deerfield prep schools before college and summered in the Hamptons, was sane enough to know what he was doing.
He staged the slay scene to look like a suicide, they said - leaving his dad dead on the floor with the .40-caliber Glock he'd just used to shoot him in the older man's left hand.
Shelley must testify against her son because she has been subpoenaed by the prosecution as a witness.
The mum said her son began his mental descent while at Deerfield and was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia and medicated while at Princeton. "We've been trying to get him into a hospital for 15 years," his mum said.
His trial has repeatedly been delayed because of questions about his mental health. He has undergone at least five psychiatric examinations and refused to participate in them. He will not co-operate with defence experts and will barely communicate with his own lawyers.
Shelley said her son's already fragile grip on reality has spiraled even further since going to jail.
Gilbert Jr. has suffered severe delusions, complaining that he's being poisoned by radioactive fallout at Rikers. At one point, he ingested a battery.
Shelley, who attends almost every court appearance said, watching her once handsome son grow increasingly gaunt and glassy-eyed while in custody has been a recurring heartbreak.
"It's brutal. Brutal. The whole thing has been brutal," she said. "I still don't believe all this has happened.
"Think if we put people with cancer in a courtroom with lawyers, the outrage would be overwhelming. Yet that's what we do with our mentally ill."
She said her son should get mental-health treatment instead of a possible life sentence.
"He doesn't belong in jail, he belongs in a hospital," she said. "There's no value in sending him upstate. … He's a sick person, who needs to be in a hospital.
"It's what my husband would have wanted for him if he was still here."
Gilbert's Jr.'s lawyer, Arnold Levine, did not return a request for comment.

I've created an online citizen account. It wasn't good. It took 11 steps for me to be able to access my Council Tax details and I found out nothing I didn't already know. The service in question only provided Revenues and Benefits services and if I needed to access other services out with these I'd need to leave my account. Not good. Plus the 'online' services within my account were inconsistent. Some were PDFs, none were mobile responsive and the online forms available used different technologies so there was a lack of consistency/standardisation of user experience. Again – not good.
So we take a different approach. That is to say a citizen can create an account in a matter of seconds and the account provides access to ALL Council services.
Citizens can create a citizen account using their email address, Twitter, Facebook or Google account.
Creating an account means the citizen will have online forms pre-populated with their details and they can track the progress of their requests.
Plus, to recognise that citizens also need to access personal data, we've built in a real time two-factor authentication mechanism. So, should a citizen want to find out personal information held in a back office application, we will ask them for information specific information sets, which only the citizen would know. By replicating what would happen if the citizen called someone, we check in real time if the person is who they say they are based upon the data they provide.

Couple drink, argue about past relationships; trouble ensues
STAFF REPORTS / Daily News
CRESTVIEW � A man was arrested after he dragged his girlfriend into his trailer after the two of them argued about previous relationships and she stormed out, lawmen say.
The incident occurred at a Mayo Trail location, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Office arrest report. The woman told a deputy she and her boyfriend had been drinking �in reference to previous relationships� when a fight broke out between the two. She said as tensions escalated she �departed the residence� on foot to let the situation cool off.
Her boyfriend followed her into the street and grabbed her, dragging her back to the residence, she said. In the process he scratched her arm and tore her shirt.
By dragging her inside he caused her to bang her head against the porch, she said. The deputy noted a bruise on the back of her head.
The man, now identified as 28-year-old Christopher James Richard of Crestview, acknowledged the two had argued. He told a deputy he was drunk and couldn�t remember the exact sequence of events, but he did remember escorting his girlfriend back to the residence, though he couldn�t recall how much force he used.
He was charged with battery. Because he had a prior conviction, the charge amounted to a felony.
His plea date is Dec. 23.

Mafia Politics
In 2011, according to the ASDA'A Burson-Marsteller Arab Youth Survey, "living in a democracy" was the most important desire for 92 percent of respondents. A mere four years later, however, 39 percent of Arab youth believes democracy would never work in the Arab world, and perceive Daesh, not dictatorships, as their most pressing problem.
Powerful states seem to share this perception.
Concentrating on symptoms rather than causes, some believe that bombing Daesh as a short-term response to terrorism and re-embracing 'security states' in the name of realism is the order of the day.
How did the bright revolutionary discourse of 2011 turn so rapidly into a fearful whisper? Jean-Pierre Filiu's From Deep State to Islamic State—a passionate, sometimes polemical, yet very timely book—examines "the repressive dynamics designed to crush any hope of democratic change, through the association of any revolutionary experience with the worst collective nightmare."
Filiu draws this out through his masterful use of historic analogies. He summons the Mamluks, Egypt's pre-Ottoman ruling caste of the years 1250 to 1517 C.E. to our attention. Descended from slaves, these warriors lived in their own fortified enclaves, and considered the lands and people under their control as personal property. Filiu sees a modern parallel in the neo-colonial elites—militarized elements of the lower and rural classes—who hijacked independence in Algeria, Egypt, and Syria—and, in different ways, in Libya, Iraq, Tunisia and Yemen.
The medieval Mamluks claimed spiritual authority by protecting, (but in fact holding hostage) the heir to the defunct Abbasid Caliphate. Their modern protégés claim the authority bestowed upon them by the popular will, also held hostage, as periodically demonstrated by staged plebiscites.
At first, Filiu's neo-Mamluks redistributed wealth from the old oligarchy, but then closely guarded the spoils. Both their efforts to privatize as well as nationalize are more correctly described as expropriations.
Perhaps more useful than the Mamluk parallel is an image Filiu borrows from 1990s Turkey: the 'deep state' of the title—a powerful nexus of organised crime, business, and the military-intelligence complex, which solidifies most obviously in response to revolutionary challenges.
Opaque military budgets act as an enabler of profiteering, as do militaristic adventures. Egypt in the 1960s Yemen, for instance, or the Syrian 'locusts' during the occupation of Lebanon are eloquent examples. The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)'s heroin labs in the Bekaa Valley provided a particularly lucrative perk for Syria's shabeeha—regime-approved smugglers—then, counter-revolutionary paramilitaries now. Closed borders, for instance between Morocco and Algeria, may be bad for development, but they boost smuggling revenues and so benefit the ruling clique.
As protection-racketeers, the "security mafias" profit from peace as much as war. The Egyptian army receives American billions, putatively in return for its truce with Israel. Syria, meanwhile, milked both the USSR and the Arab Gulf for being a 'frontline state,' respecting the rules of the regional game.
Such mafias, in Filiu's view, offer both their own subjects and the West a false security deal against demons of their own invention, whilst the West has long been consistent in its support. After driving Saddam Hussain's army from Kuwait in 1991, the U.S. nevertheless permitted the dictator's use of helicopter gunships to repress a popular uprising.
Later that year the Algerian regime cancelled elections that the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) was poised to win. The state armed pro-regime militias, banned the FIS, arrested its leaders, killed hundreds of protestors, and rounded up opponents—secularists included— accusing them of 'terrorism'. In this climate, the jihadist Armed Islamic Group (GIA) emerged; it slaughtered thousands of innocents. The army was accused of "military complicity or waging a 'dirty war' against the population." At least 100,000 died. The experience profoundly "transformed …an Algerian public who had learned in the hardest manner possible how to stay docile."
It is an oft-repeated pattern. The Mamluks will provoke chaos, even civil war, to guard their thrones. Filiu describes the rebound of Egypt's deep state in 2011-2012, a "tripartite alliance between militarized intelligence, politicized judiciary and criminal gangs" which maneuvered to defend its privileges while neutralizing the revolution's democratic urges.
President Hosni Mubarak-era grandees funded the liberal-led Tamarod movement, whose protests against the Muslim Brotherhood's incompetent and authoritarian President Morsi culminated in now-President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's July 2013 coup. This counter-revolution was achieved with millions on the streets, with Egyptian air force planes painting smoke hearts in the skies above them. Cairo's chronic power cuts and gasoline shortages, Filiu writes, "disappeared with a speed that gave credit to the thesis of an organized destabilisation."
August 2013 was a pivotal moment: before it, revolutionary hopes for dignity and freedom; after it, despair, terror, and rising jihadism. In Egypt, the Rabia massacre of that month marked the start of the liquidation of the Muslim Brotherhood, then followed by the repression of leftists, liberals and workers. El Sisi's rhetoric associated all opposition with jihadism in the Sinai—a threat greatly exacerbated by the army's iron-fist tactics against the marginalized Bedouin there. And on August 21, Sisi's ruthlessness was exceeded by the Syrian regime, when it murdered 1400 Damascenes with sarin gas.
No action was taken against Bashar Al Assad, who continues to enjoy his sponsors' largesse. El Sisi likewise, though Filiu warns, "the tragic spiral into which he is dragging Egypt, and possibly Libya, could prove more devastating than all the previous Mamluk adventures."
In Libya, using the same war-on-jihadism rhetoric, the Sisi-backed Tobruk government has until recently attacked distant Tripoli but ignored nearby Derna, held by Daesh. And in Syria, Assad and Russia, mouthing the same words, focus their fire on democratic-nationalist rebels but generally leave Daesh alone.
The Assad regime has long played this game. In the early months of the revolution, while it was assassinating peaceful, non-sectarian activists, it released hundreds of jihadists from prison—including Abu Muhammad Al Jolani, now leader of Jabhat Al Nusra. Now Assad—an arsonist dressed as a fireman—offers his tyranny's collaboration against terrorism. Far too many are taking the offer seriously.
It should be clear by now. In Algeria, Egypt, Syria and elsewhere, the alternative to popular participation is not 'stability' but terror. The alternative to democratic Islamism is not secularism, but jihadism.
We need an approach like Filiu's—less naive, more attuned to context, less willing to fall for the tyrants' tricks. An approach which recognizes that sovereignty belongs to the people, not to a minority of gangsters who seize it.

Mexican Man Slits Own Throat at US Border After Being Denied Entry
Kate Ng, The Independent, January 9, 2020
A Mexican man has died after slitting his own throat when he was denied entry to the US, according to Mexican officials.
The incident occurred on the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge across the Rio Grande on Wednesday, as the unidentified man in his 30s attempted to enter the US from the Mexican border city of Reynosa.
Officials said the man, who was an asylum seeker, died by "suicide" around 5pm local time, according to Reuters.
A short video reportedly shared by a Mexican security source showed the man approaching US officials on the bridge and raising a hand to his neck.
Photos shared by a second security source showed the man lying in a pool of blood. He was just metres away from the international dividing line.
Reuters said it could not vouch for the authenticity of the video or photographs, and that it remained unclear why the man killed himself.
An investigation into the man's death has been launched by the attorney general's office for the state of Tamaulipas, where Reynosa is.
Many Mexicans who seek asylum in the US experience violence and crime from gangs that have made life in some parts of the country increasingly perilous.
Donald Trump announced a crackdown on immigration at the US-Mexico frontier as one of his administration's top priorities.
On the other side of the border from Reynosa is Pharr, Texas. The bridge also serves over 40,000 commercial trucks carrying items such as fruit, vegetables and machine parts every day.

Many drivers may think that tyre pressure and depth are not of great importance. In fact, according to the Rubber Manufacturer's Association, 64% of drivers do not know how to check their tyres' tread depth, and a further 85% do not know how to check their tyre pressure.
Checking and maintaining tyres on a regular basis is a quick and simple task and can greatly increase safety on the road. Government statistics show that 6% of all fatal motorway accidents in the UK can be attributed to under-inflated tyres.
Worn tyres with lower than the recommended tread depth, reduce the vehicle's capability to brake, potentially doubling stopping distances and increasing the likelihood of an incident, particularly in wet conditions. When it is raining, tread grooves have to clear large amounts of water on the road's surface. If tyres have insufficient tread depth or the car is travelling too fast for the water to be cleared, a layer of water may build up between the road surface and the tyre, causing the vehicle to aquaplane and be difficult to control.
It is important for all four tyres to have a similar tread depth, as a front-rear tyre tread imbalance can also affect handling of the vehicle.
Another key aspect to maintaining tyres is checking the pressure regularly. Having under-inflated tyres not only reduces the life span of the tyre, increasing wear, but it is also likely to increase fuel consumption and cause issues in handling the vehicle.
Tyres that are inflated too much or too little can easily lead to a tyre blow-out, particularly in hot temperatures, where the tyre punctures and effectively explodes, causing the car to unbalance and swerve. It is therefore of even more importance to check tyre pressure in severe temperatures, before a long journey or when carrying a particularly heavy load.
If a tyre blow-out occurs, it is generally best to hold the steering wheel firmly and let the car slow down by itself if there is space to do so. Pushing your foot harshly on the brake is likely to cause the car to spin.
If you notice that one tyre has a significantly lower pressure than the others, it may be a small puncture and you should seek technical advice. If you have suffered a tyre puncture, drive only a short distance to a safe place to stop. Drive slowly and cautiously as your car will lose stability, particularly as the air pressure lowers. It is also important to remember that repairable tyre punctures can become irreparable if driven on.
Maintaining safe tyres is not only important for your and other road users' safety, but it is also a legal requirement. Having faulty tyres can invalidate insurance or lead to a fine being given by law enforcement.
Remember the legal requirement is generally 1.6mm, though this can vary, particularly in winter models.
Consult your operating manual or the inside of your car door for the recommended tyre pressure for your make and model.
If you must drive in icy or snowy conditions, have winter tyres fitted to improve tyre grip.
Remember you and the other road users around you are only human; and humans make mistakes. A defensive driver does not just concentrate on his or her own actions, but anticipates the likely actions of other road users.


Khloé Kardashian can't stop gushing over her beau, Tristan Thompson.

While Kardashian, 33, has yet to officially announce her pregnancy, multiple sources previously confirmed to People she and Thompson, 26, are expecting a boy together – due to arrive in early 2018. This will be Kardashian's first child, while Thompson is also dad to son Prince Oliver, who turns one this month.
Kardashian did make one thing with Thompson official recently: A Keeping Up With The Kardashians episode in November marked the first time the Cleveland Cavaliers player appeared on the show. The pair have been dating since September 2016.
'I just feel like Khloé has met her perfect match,' mumager Kris Jenner gushed during the episode.
'This is something Khloé has wanted for years and years and yet it's more than that: she didn't want it unless she was in the right relationship for it. She never let it happen with Lamar, intentionally, and she never considered it with James or French or anyone else she has seen,' the source said of Khloé, who was married to Lamar Odom from 2009-16.
Kardashian isn't the only one in her family expecting a baby. Sister Kim Kardashian West is expecting a baby girl (her third child with husband Kanye West) and sister Kylie Jenner is expecting a daughter (with boyfriend Travis Scott). All are 'due around the same,' a source told People in September.
'Getting pregnant at the same time was totally unplanned, but they are really happy about it,' the source added of the sisters.

Alas, it is true, another year has come and gone. Survey says a lot of people are more than ready to turn the page on 2016 (👆), fully prepared for a, um, better chapter. But in spite of some terrible misfortunes, we had some really amazing times this year (and so did vertical video, more on that later).
Whether you enjoyed the past 12 months or not, it's worth recounting the moments to better help decide what resolutions should be made once the January 1st reset button has been pressed. And by that we mean January 2nd, once you've recouped from your NYE festivities.
The ever-evolving ongoing enigma that is Snapchat had every single business scrambling this year, trying to figure out ways to use the millennial and gen Z-centric platform to reach their target. Ephemeral vids, although fun and enticing, are not an easy marketing task by any means, hence the enthusiasm for this topic.
This year has been transformational for Instagram, to say the least. One of the biggest changes came when the app introduced business profiles with a set of insights tools to go along with them. Needless to say, our writeup on the change garnered mucho buzz. The biggest takeaway?
