What better spot to have a night run than the hunting reserve of Case Noyale, in the South West of Mauritius? With its high grass, tamarind trees and rather dry vegetation, it has that wild Savannah feel, without having to worry about snakes and big cats! It's almost right on the ocean too, providing a superb view very quickly as you run uphill. I was there early after a big day in the mountains of the Moka Range, to take this video clip as the sun was casting its afternoon rays.
Organised by the local Salomon distributor Emcar Sports, the goal was to have a fun 10km run followed by a few drinks while Yannick from Emcar presented the new Salomon collection to the trailers. Let's face it: we do love gear talk, those inspiring outdoor videos and of course, hanging out with each other!
If you'd like to join this wacky family, get running and check out the local association on www.randotrail.mu.

Pin commemorating a Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivor's receipt of the Congressional Medal of Honor
Object | Accession Number: 2018.327.2
Pin-backed button commemorating Tibor Rubin's receipt of the United States Congressional Medal of Honor on September 23, 2005. He received the award 55 years after first being nominated by fellow soldiers. Tibor earned the medal for extraordinary heroism in battle, and his efforts to help save the lives of 40 fellow prisoners of war during the Korean War (1950-1953). Tibor's actions during four months of battle and 30 months of imprisonment were shaped, in part, by his experiences as a Holocaust survivor. In November 1940, when Hungary became an official German ally, 11-year-old Tibor lived in Pásztó, Hungary, with his parents, Ferenc and Rozsi, and siblings Imre, Irena, Edith, and Ilonka. A couple weeks before Germany occupied Hungary on March 19, 1944, Tibor's father sent him with a group of Polish Jews that were heading to the Swiss border. They were all arrested, and later deported to Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. While in the camp, Tibor gained many survival skills that later helped him survive imprisonment in Korea. Around February 1945, Tibor discovered that Imre was also in the camp. The US Army liberated Mauthausen in May 1945. Tibor and Imre returned to Pásztó, where they reunited with Irena, who had survived in Budapest. Tibor immigrated to the US in 1948, and his siblings later joined him. Their parents, Ferenc and Rozsi, and sisters, Edith and Ilonka, were deported to Auschwitz concentration camp in late spring 1944, where Rozsi and Ilonka were killed. Ferenc was deported to Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, and died in December. Edith survived several concentration camps, and his half-brother, Miklós, survived in the Czech resistance.

Subject: Tibor Rubin
Tibor Rubin (1929-2015) was born in Pásztó, Hungary, to Ferenc (1888-1944) and Rosa (?-1931) Appel Rubin. Ferenc was married with a son, Miklós (1914 -?), when he fought as an Austro-Hungarian soldier in World War I (1914-1918). He was captured, spent six years as a prisoner of war, and was presumed dead. His wife remarried and settled in Khust, Czechoslovakia (now Ukraine). After his release, Ferenc married Rosa, and they had four children: Imre (later Emery Irwin, 1922-1985), Irena (later Irene Huntly, 1924-1973), Edith (later Rittri, 1925-?), and Tibor. Ferenc worked as a shoemaker and ran his own store. Rosa died of cancer in 1931. Ferenc later married Rozsi Widowszky (1900-1944), a schoolteacher, and they had a daughter, Ilonka (1933-1944). Tibor's family was very religious, and attended temple regularly. Tibor and his siblings attended the public and Jewish schools.
During the mid to late 1930s, the Hungarian government began aligning its policies with those of Nazi-controlled Germany. On September 1, 1939, Germany started World War II by invading Poland, and Hungary officially joined the Axis alliance in November 1940. Many Jewish men were conscripted into Hungarian forced labor battalions that support military actions, including Tibor's half-brother, Miklós, in spring 1942 and his brother, Imre, in October 1943. In early March 1944, Ferenc was worried about Tibor being conscripted, so he asked a group of Polish Jews heading to the Swiss border to take him along. In response to Hungary's armistice with the Allied powers the previous year, German forces occupied Hungary on March 19, 1944. At the end of March, Tibor's group was arrested while trying to cross the border from Italy into neutral Switzerland. They were all transferred to a forced labor camp in Budapest before being deported in May to Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. To prevent Tibor from being assigned to a work detail, one of the men, Peter, told the guards that he was 11 years old, not 13.
In July 1944, the Polish men were sent to build a new camp in the woods nearby, and Peter had asked a guard to include Tibor. On dark, foggy, or rainy nights, Tibor began hiding in a space formed by his Polish companions inside a large pile of logs. When the coast was clear, he would sneak out to steal leftover food from the guards' garbage drums behind the kitchen. As he gained confidence, Tibor was able to supplement the meager prisoner rations for himself and his friends. In November 1944, Tibor and the other prisoners returned to Mauthausen. Tibor was placed on a work detail, and not long after, Peter died. Around February 1945, Tibor reunited with his brother, Imre, who had been deported to a Mauthausen sub-camp, Donnerskirchen, in December 1944, before being transferred to the main camp.
Mauthausen was liberated on May 5 and 6, 1945, by the 11th Armored Division of the United States Army. Tibor was admitted to the army hospital with dysentery, and Imre was suffering from typhus. After they recovered, the brothers returned to Pásztó, where they reunited with Irena, who had hidden in Budapest with a Hungarian officer who protected her. Following their reunion, the siblings realized it was not safe to stay in Hungary, and travelled to Pocking displaced persons camp in the American Zone of Germany. In summer 1946, Imre got Tibor on a list for the Landshut camp for unaccompanied minors to increase his chances for immigration to the US. Tibor immigrated in May 1948, aboard the SS Marine Flasher, and settled in New York City.
Tibor, Irene, and Imre had assumed that their half-brother, Miklós, was dead, but later reconnected with him. He had escaped from his labor battalion, and joined the Czech resistance. After the war, Miklós joined the Czech army and reunited with his wife, Marketa, who had survived Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland, though their child had not. With forged identity papers acquired by Miklós, Irena assumed the identity of a deceased Czech woman, who had the same name and was born in 1926. As a Czech citizen, Irena was able to immigrate to Canada in November 1948. Imre immigrated to the US in July 1949, changed his name to Emery Irwin, and married a Polish survivor, Gloria Baker (nee Piekarek, 1928-2007), in September.
The siblings later learned that in April 1944, their parents, Ferenc and Rozsi, and sisters, Edith and Ilonka, were sent to the Hatvan ghetto. Ferenc was arrested on May 9, and offered a transfer due to his veteran status. His family could not join him, so he refused, and was deported to Auschwitz on May 14. Rozsi, Ilonka, and Edith were deported to Auschwitz in June. During selection at the camp, 10-year-old Ilonka and her mother, Rozsi, were killed in the gas chambers. In July, Ferenc was deported to Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. In early December, Ferenc died of acute heart failure. In October 1944, Edith was deported to Horneburg concentration camp, a sub-camp of Neuengamme concentration camp, in Germany. She was transferred to Porta and Eberstadt concentration camps in early 1945, and was freed as part of the Swedish Bernadotte Campaign. In Sweden, Edith stayed with the Rittri family, and later married their son Anselm (1926-?).
In 1949, Tibor moved to California, and enlisted in the US Army the following year to fulfill a promise he made when he was liberated by American troops. He was assigned to Company I, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, and went to Korea with the unit after declining an offer to serve in a safe zone instead because he was not an American citizen. One of Tibor's sergeants was very antisemitic and always gave him the most dangerous assignments. In response, Tibor went above and beyond the call of duty to save the lives of fellow soldiers. During an action in early November 1950, Tibor was badly wounded and captured by the Chinese Army. He was held at Camp 5 in North Korea as a prisoner of war. While imprisoned, he often stole food and shared it with fellow captives, despite the risk of being caught. He would tend to sick and wounded prisoners using knowledge learned as a concentration camp prisoner, and did his best to keep morale high. When the Chinese learned he was Hungarian, they offered to repatriate him, but he refused because he already saw himself as an American.
After 30 months of captivity, Corporal Tibor Rubin was released in April 1953. Later that year, he was honorably discharged and became a US citizen. His sister, Irena, had changed her name to Irene, and immigrated to the US in 1951. Irene married Joseph Huntly in 1955, and the couple had two children. Emery and Gloria adopted two children, moved to Los Angeles, and opened a successful liquor store. Miklós and his family later immigrated to Israel, and then to the US. In 1963, Tibor married Yvonne Meijers (b.1940), who survived the Holocaust in hiding in the Netherlands. The couple had two children, and Tibor became a partner in Emery's liquor store. In 2005, after more than 25 years of petitions from fellow veterans and supporters on his behalf, Tibor was awarded the Medal of Honor by President George W. Bush for his actions in Korea.

Latifi confirmed at Williams for 2020
By: Fergal Walsh
Williams has confirmed that Nicholas Latifi has joined the team as a full-time driver, replacing Robert Kubica for the 2020 season.
Kubica announced earlier this year that he would be leaving the outfit at the end of the season amid a difficult comeback in which he has been stuck at the back of the grid.
Latifi has worked as a test driver for the Grove-squad this year, while also handling Formula 2 duties. He has taken part in six FP1 sessions with Williams in 2019.
"I am thrilled to be stepping up as race driver for 2020," Latifi said. "I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team this year, supporting them with the development of the car, and assisting wherever I can trackside and at the factory.
"I look forward to the journey ahead with the team, and I am excited to make my Formula 1 debut at the Australian Grand Prix in 2020."
Latifi is in a battle for second place in the F2 championship, as rival Nyck de Vries wrapped up the championship last time out in Sochi.
The 24-year-old will be partnered by George Russell next year, who himself is bringing his maiden season in F1 to an end this weekend in Abu Dhabi.
Deputy team principal of Williams Claire Williams added: "I am delighted to announce that Nicholas will be stepping up to the role of Race Driver to partner George in 2020.
"All of us at Williams have been immensely impressed at what he has achieved this year in FIA Formula 2, along with his commitment to the team, and the work that he has put in behind the scenes.
"Nicholas has become an established and well-respected member of Williams, and we look forward to him stepping up into this new role, as we look to fight our way back to the midfield."

Why not? A guy that has never won a championship in any category. The highlight of his career was last season in Formula 2 (his third season there) where he finally won races, but wasn't anywhere near winning the championship. Also why not? Williams are doing great. They don't need experienced drivers to help them develop their car. Fucking Claire did it again. I thought they could go lower than Sirotkin, but no damn it, they found a guy that hasn't won a single junior category. Hasn't even been close. Of course it's about the damn money.
We couldn't expect Williams to fork out much cash for a good driver, with new rules coming and the car being on HRT levels of awfulness.
Not even combined forces of Hamilton and Verstappen could drive that car higher than 15th place.
Imho they should get as much cash as they can, sign a good development driver and an engineer or two capable of building a decent car, then focus on 2021 with 2020 being a write-off.
calle.itw
Agreed, but to put the blame solely on Claire is to underestimate the issue. The corruption runs way deeper than that. They need a major revamp, because right now they only race to survive.
siggy74
2 way to look at this, either the team is being led from the top = Claire....
or it is being led from elsewhere, and the top has no clue... either way the buck stops at the top for being awful or incompetent....
They have no money to get out of this hole ;p and no talent to design out of the hole. short of a take over and complete change they will be at the back for some time to come. or be another oxfordshire team calling in the admin ;p
We must...we must purge... Williams... And slay the heretics of course. Just like what definitely I did with McLaren *dons plague doctor mask* the McLeaner must rinse Williams of corruption and disease!

News Recap for 1-8-21
Wall Street Journal: Why We're Ending the EPA's Reliance on Secret Science — EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler explains the agency's decision to increase transparency, noting "when agencies defer to experts in private without review from citizens, distinctions get flattened and the testing and deliberation of science is precluded." He continues: "Transparency is a defense of, not an attack on, the important work done by career scientists at the EPA, along with their colleagues at research institutions around the country. Increasing polarization around scientific questions stems in part from too many public policy debates setting science in a category apart from normal discussion or standards. By shining light on the science we use in decisions, we are helping to restore trust in government. We want the EPA to be able to say, "you can check our work."
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Tyco Fire Products settles class action lawsuit with over 270 households in Peshtigo — Tyco Fire Products, a company known for mixing and testing firefighting foam containing PFAS in northeastern Wisconsin, settled with hundreds of homeowners Thursday over contamination found in private drinking wells. An attorney who brought the suit said this settlement, which is the first involving aqueous film-forming foam, is significant because it sets the stage for future cases. Future cases involving foam will likely have to follow suit with the settlement, because it's unlikely that a jury would decide in favor of a company, based on the information he's seen in cases like Peshtigo's. Tyco denied any wrongdoing in the case, but a spokesperson said during a news conference that the company recognizes the burden that dealing with PFAS has put on the community.
Las Cruces Sun News: New Mexico sues Sterigenics over ethylene oxide emissions at Santa Teresa plant — In a complaint filed in the state's Third Judicial District on Dec. 22, Attorney General Hector Balderas alleges the Sterigenics company, which has operated a plant in Santa Teresa since 1989, released "unreported, uncontrolled" amounts of ethylene oxide over its years of operation. As a result, the lawsuit contends that Santa Teresa residents and neighboring communities have been put at "significantly increased risk of developing cancer," as measured in the 2018 EPA report. In response, the company has sought to remove the case to federal court, citing a number of federal laws and agency regulations involved in the state's claims, as well as the limited number of facilities providing ethylene oxide sterilization nationwide and the potential impact of the facility's closure. The COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified pressure on the need for its services, the company's motion claims.
Bloomberg Law: 3M, Business Groups Can't Halt New Jersey PFAS Limits — 3M Co. and a coalition of New Jersey businesses and utilities lost their bid to stop the state from implementing restrictions on PFAS chemicals in drinking water, after a state appeals court rejected their request to stay the rules pending full legal review. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection adopted the final PFAS rule in June. The rule declares PFOA and PFOS hazardous substances under state law, and sets enforceable limits of 14 parts per trillion for PFOA and 13 parts per trillion for PFOS in drinking water.
Wall Street Journal: EPA to Give Preference to Scientific Studies That Disclose Data — WSJ dives into the new rules that will give preference in future decisions about public health to scientific studies that disclose their underlying data. The rules apply to the EPA's consideration of "dose-response studies," used to figure out how much exposure to a chemical or pollutant increases the risk to a person's health. In future decisions, the agency must now give greater consideration to studies in this area in which underlying dose-response data is available for independent validation. And when it proposes new regulations it must make available that science informing the rule to the public.

Straits Times Index hovering at resistance of 3450 level.
It had been a rather flat week for Straits Times Index as the market attempts to find reason to trade higher in fear of higher tax reforms in US. Many market participants were staying sidelines at the moment as they wait for more clarity in the market. Despite the cautious mood, STI is still able to test its resistance level at 3450 last Friday. STI managed to break 3450 resistance level momentarily during the day as profit takers entered the market, avoiding positions over the weekend. With this cautiousness, STI closed the week with 7.39pts up at 3449.54 level.
As the Straits Times Index tested the resistance level, will STI be able to break through this level or will profit taking dominate the market?
Candlestick – White spinning top candle.
Histogram – 2 Gs. No bearish divergence.
RSI – At 73.2%. No Bearish divergence. Overbought.
Stochastic – At 81.2%. Overbought. No Bearish crossover.
After weeks of attempts, STI is now able to test its resistance level at 3450. This indicates that the bullish trend is still firm and will have potential to reach out for higher levels. However, resistance level might prevent upside for STI as uptrend consist of higher high formations. So, at this resistance level, it is possible for STI to form higher high formation by retracing for a higher low formation. Based on the candle formed last week, it is hard to determine whether STI will be able to break this resistance level. Spinning top candle indicates that there is resistance at this level but it does not shows strong bearishness in the market yet. Therefore, it is also important to gain clues from the indicators before we can better determine the direction of the market.
The mid-term indicators are consistently on the bullish side for weeks. This set bullish foundation for STI currently. However, after last week's movement, RSI is starting to trend in the overbought zone; signalling a potential downside risk. But there is no strong bearish confirmation yet. Shorter-term indicators are still on the bullish side currently. No bearishness is being sighted currently. However, indication of overbought is still seen in Stochastic which can limit STI's upside. Overall, bullishness is still being read but upside can be limited as the condition is now overbought.
Although bullishness is likely to continue to happen this week, the overbought readings are something to be concern of. What is lacking right now is a bearish movement that will trigger further selling pressure. If STI is unable to break 3450 resistance level this week, bearishness can start to set in. What we should watch out is bearish closing for the week. If STI is to close lower this week, bearish signal will likely to be triggered in the indicators. Bearish signal in overbought situation is more likely to bring in bearish movements in the market.
However, the market underlying momentum is still bullish. Hence, there is also chance for STI to break this resistance level at 3450. Breaking 3450 resistance level will lead STI towards the next resistance level at 3530 level. This kind of movement will bring STI deeper into the overbought zone which will greatly increase the odds of reversal. Therefore, strong bullish movements are unlikely to happen even if the bullish breakout happens.
In conclusion, the Straits Times Index is now ready to form higher high formation in order for a better continuation of its uptrend movement. Overbought condition is currently obvious and this will likely to limit STI's upside. Resistance level at 3450 level will likely to hold this week. What is lacking right now short-term bearish movement to happen. But further upside movement can also occur if STI is able to start trading and maintaining above 3450 level. Therefore, this week will be an important week as it will determine whether STI will be retracing or going higher in the coming weeks.
2) Breaking of 3450 resistance level.
3) Testing of 3270 – 3300 support levels.
4) Testing of 3530 resistance level.
- Long traders partial profit taking can be adopted.
- Shortists can look for quick trade once bearishness is confirmed.

Coca-Cola Critics Have Never Heard of 'E Pluribus Unum'
Bubbling Anger
The rage directed at the Super Bowl ad with "America the Beautiful" sung in foreign languages shows some people can't get on board with the future.
Dean Obeidallah
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 4:49PM ET / Published Feb. 04, 2014 5:45AM ET
At this point, we shouldn't be shocked by the intolerance of some towards immigrants and other cultures. But who could've predicted the outrage we saw over the Coca-Cola commercial that aired during last night's Super Bowl?!
The commercial simply displayed the diversity of our great nation by showcasing people singing "America The Beautiful" in different languages—beginning in English and then Spanish before moving on to other languages. But it caused some to seriously freak out.
This tweet summed up the sentiments of many on the right: "Fuck that bullshit. This is America speak fucking English #ThanksObama#fuckcoke" Others labeled Coke as communists while others claimed that since a women in a hijab was featured in the commercial (who is actually a friend of mine), that Coke was supporting terrorism.
We even saw former Congressman Allen West—a Tea Party Darling—write: "This was a truly disturbing commercial for me."
West explained that he knew he was supposed to accept the "politically correct" idea to "foster multiculturalism" but he wasn't having any of it. He then quoted approvingly a passage from Teddy Roosevelt who demanded that every immigrant "should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country" because "we have room for but one language here."
And there was Todd Starnes—host of a Fox News radio show—who tweeted, "Coca Cola is the official soft drink of illegals crossing the border. #americaisbeautiful."
I get why these people are mad. In essence, the Coke commercial was the Ghost of Christmas Future providing them a glimpse of an America that features even more people speaking languages other than English, practicing other faiths than their own and celebrating cultures they don't understand. That scares the crap out of them.
This is why we see an increasingly shrill and desperate tone from some conservatives when fighting over social and cultural issues. And it's why people like Republican Congressman Steve King demonizes immigrants since it plays to the fears of his supporters.
But here's the thing: America was intended to be a multicultural nation. The philosophy of our nation's Founding Fathers is etched upon the Great Seal of The United States adopted by Congress in 1782. There it is written: "E pluribus Unum," or "Out of many, one."
It could not be more clear that the very people who created our country intended it be a place where people of different backgrounds could live together and become one as Americans. That's exactly why my mother's parents emigrated from Sicily, and my Palestinian father came to this country. It was the promise of nation where different backgrounds would not only be tolerated but thrive together.
And to be honest, the notion of "E pluribus Unum" is more relevant today than it was in 1782 because of our nation's evolving demographics. Currently, racial and ethnic minorities represent approximately half of the children under age five in the U.S. And estimates are that by 2043 the white majority in the U.S. will be over. America will soon be even more diverse and multicultural.
Here's the simple message that those who were outraged over the Coke commercial must accept: America will change with or without you.
And for all of us—left and right—we will have to learn that the term "diversity" means more than just Black and Latino. As the Coke commercial so aptly pointed out, diversity in the U.S. will also include Asians, Indians, Arabs, Pacific Islanders, and others. It will also mean making a conscious effort to include minority faiths such as Muslims and Sikhs.
In the years to come, it will be a learning experience for all us as our nation evolves into an even more beautiful mosaic. In time, hopefully those who are the most outraged over diversity will grow to accept it. It's their choice to embrace or to be dragged along for the ride. But regardless of their decision, it will happen and that's truly a great thing for our nation.

Cairns Indigenous Art Fair 2021 Announces Official Ambassador
Aboriginal singer-songwriter Naomi Wenitong has been named as the official Ambassador for the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair for 2021.
Naomi is a Kubi Kubi woman who now calls Cairn's home, after growing up in Newcastle, and is well known for her work with R&B duo Shakaya and the hip hop group The Last Kinection – not to mention her solo work as a performer.
Naomi told Bumma Bippera Media that she has been developing a program to help the local youth to become self-sufficient artists.
"Naytive mentorship is a 10-week intensive program, designed to encourage self-sufficient artists, and develop artists here in Cairns – with the youth here," Ms Wenitong said.
She said the program has been in the works for a few years now, and to have it finally realised is a dream come true.
"I'd really love to be able to do this for our Mob, for everyone here."
The Kubi Kubi woman said training she received in Orlando, Florida when she was younger inspired her to create Naytive Mentorship.
"To pass on all the knowledge that I've learnt over these years."
The Cairns Indigenous Art Fair will be held from the 17th to the 22nd of August.

A serious payment glitch on retail website Overstock.com, which sells everything from furniture to diamond rings, allowed customers to pay with either bitcoin or bitcoin cash interchangeably. It's a problem because the two cryptocurrencies, which split off from one another last August, have wildly different valuations.
According to CoinMarketCap, one bitcoin is currently worth $13,880, while a single unit of bitcoin cash is valued at $2,355, meaning those who paid with bitcoin cash could buy an item for a fraction of the asking price. Worse still, if a customer paid in bitcoin cash and wanted a refund, Overstock's system would refund the customer in bitcoin, giving the user more money than they initially paid. It's not clear how many customers may have taken advantage of this error.
The glitch was first reported by independent journalist Brian Krebs of KrebsOnSecurity.
A Bitcoin crypto-currency shop in Rovereto, Italy.
When Krebs purchased solar lights worth $78.27 from the site, Overstock instructed him to send 0.00475574 in bitcoin to their address. Instead of sending bitcoins, Krebs sent 0.00475574 in bitcoin cash, which Overstock accepted. This meant he paid only $12.02 for the lights.
He requested a refund, which Overstock gave back in bitcoin worth $77.80 and not bitcoin cash. "A dishonest customer could have used this bug to make ridiculous sums of bitcoin in a very short period of time," Krebs wrote.
"We were made aware of an issue affecting cryptocurrency transactions and refunds by an independent researcher. After working with the researcher to confirm the finding, that method of payment was disabled while we worked with our cryptocurrency integration partner, Coinbase, to ensure they resolved the issue. We have since confirmed that the issue described in the finding has been resolved, and the cryptocurrency payment option has been re-enabled."
Coinbase said the issue was "caused by the merchant partner improperly using the return values in our merchant integration API," and noted that no other Coinbase customer had this problem. Bitcoin experienced a meteoric rise in 2017, rocketing to valuations of more than $20,000 after starting the year at $800, though it remains extremely volatile.

"We had another highly successful Mobile World Congress, across so many fronts," said John Hoffman, CEO, GSMA Ltd. "We are gratified with the number of senior-level attendees, particularly the number of CEOs, as well as the continued strong attendance of government ministers and regulators. However, we are not focused on necessarily having the biggest event – we continually strive to convene the right audience and deliver a high-quality experience across all aspects of the event, the conference, the exhibition, and the many other programmes and events at Mobile World Congress."
Mobile World Congress 2019 will be held 25-28 February, 2019 in Barcelona.
Coriant advances its Hyperscale Carrier Architecture
Sunday, March 04, 2018 #MWC18, Coriant
Coriant has announced several advancements to its Hyperscale Carrier Architecture (HCA), which is its open, agile, automated, and software-driven approach to network service innovation and which is aligned to CORD and optimized for Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC). The latest advancements include:
Coriant Transcend Network Control and Orchestration Software enhancements - (1) the addition of an NFV MANO for managing Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) in the highly distributed compute environment. This was developed using the Aricent MANO framework (2) the introduction of an advanced Virtual POD Controller (vPC) for helping network operators to seamlessly scale disaggregated solutions by effective end-to-end network control including service stitching.
Coriant IP/MPLS Network Operating System (C-NOS) – an open, disaggregated approach to packet-based networking. The Coriant NOS is designed to operate on industry-standard COTS whiteboxes as well as application-optimized carrier-grade whiteboxes such as the new Coriant Vibe series.
Coriant Vibe Series of Programmable Packet Platforms – this series of application-optimized, carrier-class whiteboxes boasts important networking features such as hardware acceleration, advanced timing capabilities to enable a variety of MEC services and applications, and support for seamless horizontal scalability. Coriant said its Vibe series can provide the foundation for a disaggregated open networking solution or can be added to a COTS whitebox-based disaggregated networking solution to enable/enhance specific network applications
"In today's fast-paced and highly competitive services market, network operators need to evolve their multi-layer infrastructure networks to maximize the value of faster innovation cycles in hardware and software components and best-in-class functions and solutions," said Uwe Fischer, Executive Vice President, R&D and PLM, and CTO, Coriant. "One of the key challenges that operators face is the limitations imposed by proprietary approaches that result in vendor lock-in, especially in the IP routing domain. Our Hyperscale Carrier Architecture breaks that stranglehold and accelerates new service deployment by leveraging an open hardware and software ecosystem that unlocks the barriers to seamless automation and the virtualization of network functions across network layers."

With this much fiber and calcium, chia seeds provide more than a third of your daily fiber needs and nearly 20% of your daily calcium needs in a single serving. The 4 grams of hunger-quashing protein add to chia's nutritional offerings.
Our bodies do not make omega-3 fats, so we must get them from food. And having more omega-3s in the diet is linked with good health, and with lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. This is where chia seeds come into the picture: more than half of the fat in chia seeds is alpha-linolenic acid, a beneficial, omega-3 fat.
You'll find chia seeds in the bulk section of your natural grocery store, and in the health food section of your regular supermarket. If you're ready to give chia seeds a try, there's no shortage of creative ways to work them into your diet. Chia seeds are tasteless, and slip into other foods and beverages easily without altering flavor.
Get soaked. Place a large spoonful of chia seeds into a small glass and cover with water. Let stand for 20 minutes; they will form a gel. Add the chia seed-gel mixture to smoothies, yogurt, or oatmeal. It's okay to soak seeds over night, so they will be ready for breakfast.
Drink up. Toss a spoonful of chia seeds into your water bottle or add them to juice. You won't taste them and they are so tiny you may not even notice them in the liquid.
Cook. Add chia seeds to soups, stews, and casseroles, as a thickener.
Bake. Process chia seeds in a coffee bean grinder and mix with flour, milk, eggs, mashed banana, and cinnamon to make pancakes. Add chia seeds to the batter or dough when making muffins, bread, or other baked goods.
Surf for ideas. Perform a quick internet search of "chia seed recipes." You will find hundreds of additional ideas, tips, recipes, and hints for incorporating chia seeds into your food and drinks.
Call your doctor. If you have digestive health issues, such as diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease, do not add chia seeds without first talking to your healthcare provider. While these tiny seeds improve digestive health for many, they may not be right for people with existing digestive conditions.


OZARK, Ala. (AP) - Torrential storms have dumped as much as 10 inches of rain across parts of southeast Alabama.
Muddy water covered dozens of roads in the region, forcing holiday travelers to take long detours on rural roads. In Chambers County, emergency officials say two roads have collapsed because of rain, causing natural gas leaks.
Photos on social media show cars covered by water in multiple counties and a washed-out road that resembles a waterfall in Macon County. Pike County is asking drivers to stay off roads until noon Friday.
The National Weather Service says a widespread swath of Coffee County received as much as 10 inches of rain, and a foot of rain was recorded north of Enterprise. Rainfall totals of as much as 4 inches are common.

Hythe Town manager James Rogers playing it cool on the touchline
By Craig Tucker
ctucker@thekmgroup.co.uk
Published: 05:00, 08 December 2021
New Hythe boss James Rogers says he's a different man on the touchline.
The no-nonsense midfielder who "could lose my temper a bit" cuts a calmer figure in the dugout.
Action from Hythe Town's 1-1 draw with Phoenix Sports Picture: Randolph File
His approach seems to be working, with Rogers winning his first two games in charge and it would have been three but for Phoenix Sports' 89th-minute equaliser on Saturday.
"I'm the polar opposite of how I am as a player," said Rogers, 36. "On the pitch I get a bit heated and could lose my temper a bit, and I wear my heart on my sleeve.
"Since I've been on the touchline I try to encourage more than anything and be positive, and Wynts (assistant manager Tom Wynter) is the same.
"We don't want to start hammering players and be managers people don't want to play for.
"We're trying to get that happy-medium, which is difficult because we're still inexperienced in what we're doing.
"Whether we're doing it right I've no idea, but it seems to be working at the moment. We're enjoying it, the boys are enjoying it and we're not doing badly.
"Obviously there will be times when I lose my rag but for the the main part it'll be nice and steady."
Rogers has made good progress in the market, signing several promising young players.
Right-back Jack Mayhew has joined from Maidstone, while strikers Jack Nelson and Riley Alford have arrived Dover and County League side Ashford FC respectively.
He's also brought teenage wing-back George Sibley back from Lordswood, where he was playing on dual-registration, and is hoping to land another defender this week.
"It's going OK," said Rogers. "We're probably in a better place than I thought we'd be.
"Hopefully I can get this centre-back in as well and once me and Wynts are back from injuries, that will give us that experience we need.
Hythe Town take on Phoenix Sports at Reachfields Picture: Randolph File
"It's all right directing from the touchline but there are games when I think we'll need experience."
Rogers has been impressed with his midfield three of Alex Brown, Jacob Gilbert and Charlie Webster, while sweeper Geroge Crimmen - one of former boss Steve Watt's last signings - has also caught the eye.
But it's arguably forward Jordan Sarfo who's stolen the show after backing up his winner at Lancing with the opener in the 1-1 Isthmian South East draw with Phoenix.
"We've made him the main man up there," said Rogers. "When he gets going defenders can't stay with him and the goals are starting to come now.
"He's had a good start under us and hopefully that continues.
"He was going to Canterbury on dual-reg as we took over and I stopped it straight away and assured him he was part of our plans and would get plenty of game time."
Hythe go to Corinthian this Saturday in a reverse of the opening-day fixture, a game the Cannons lost 2-1.
Rogers knows what to expect.
He said: "They were quite direct and physical and there's a couple of lads I know there, Kaka Dembele being one.
"If we set up how we have been and stick to what we want to do, there's no reason why we can't get a result.
"I want to carry on with the unbeaten start but there are no easy games - as Saturday proved."

Q:  invalid DN 21 (Invalid syntax) openldap Actually based on http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html said that i can converting slapd.conf to cn=config format.
So for this purpose i try to make slapd.conf file on server which have role provider like bellow:
database bdb
suffix dc=mydomain,dc=org
rootdn cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=org
directory /var/lib/ldap/db
index objectclass,entryCSN,entryUUID eq

overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100

database config
rootpw mypassword

Then i try to convert that file using slaptest command, but i got error message like bellow :
$ slaptest -f slapd.conf -v
slapd.conf: line 2: <suffix> invalid DN 21 (Invalid syntax)
slaptest: bad configuration file

Actually my suffix is absolutely right, but why always "invalid DN"
How to solve this error ?

A: I had the same problem with too minimal of a file, I added a few extra details and it works
#slapd.conf

#schemas to use
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

#log
pidfile     /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid
argsfile    /var/run/openldap/slapd.args

########################################
#####   dbm database definitions    ####
########################################

database bdb
suffix dc=server,dc=com
rootdn cn=Manager,dc=server,dc=com
rootpw secret

#database directory
directory       /var/lib/ldap

#end

According to this you might only be missing the pidfile location as it changed between versions but you will eventually add the rest anyway.

A: You probably have solved it by now, but for the benefit of the googles out there...
Your suffix is not absolutely right because it uses the domainComponent attribute  "dc=" but you haven't added the schema that defines it. So until that is done the distinguished name is an unknown and "invalid DN".
Explanation: In the core.schema file (typically in /etc/openldap/schemas/, at least for RedHat/CentOS RPMs) you can find this (and much more that is needed):
# RFC 1274 + RFC 2247
attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25
        NAME ( 'dc' 'domainComponent' )
        DESC 'RFC1274/2247: domain component'
        EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
        SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE )

What you have to do it to include this schema file to your configuration by adding this to the beginning (assuming the file is at this path, adjust as needed):
include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema

You probably also need other schema files, but this will solve this error.

A: well you should delete defaults files before run your test:
example on CentOS:
rm -rf /etc/openldap/slapd.d/*

and in database directory, should have a DB_CONFIG file
all archives with ldap-user-granted (chown ldap:ldap)
include this files in #schemas to use
include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/dyngroup.schema

Q: Execute multiple `docker-compose run` that are encapsulated from of each other I have a docker-compose file that looks like the following:
  mongo:
    image: mongo:3.6.12
    container_name: mongo-${BUILD_ID}
  app:
    image: repo/my-image:latest
    container_name: app-${BUILD_ID}
    working_dir: /src
    depends_on:
      - mongo

I'm running this in a CI/CD pipeline to execute tests in parallel via a docker-compose run app run-test-1.sh but have noticed only one instance of a mongo container is created. This seems to result in the tests interfering with each other. Is it possible to docker-compose run such that it will create both the app service and the mongo service together and encapsulated from other docker-compose run containers so that they each have their own mongo instance?
I have tried the following to no avail:

*

*Adding a container_name: mongo-${BUILD_ID} property in the docker-compose.yml

*Adding the --name flag when executing the command. i.e. docker-compose run --name id1 app run-test-1.sh

A: Managed to figure this out. docker-compose has a flag --project-name which it will use instead of the default value (folder name).
Thus my docker-compose.yml looks like:
  mongo:
    image: mongo:3.6.12
  app:
    image: repo/my-image:latest
    working_dir: /src
    depends_on:
      - mongo

and I can execute the following commands and each will be namespaced within their respective project names:

*

*docker-compose --project-name project1 run app ./run-test1.sh.

*docker-compose --project-name project2 run app ./run-test2.sh.

*docker-compose --project-name project3 run app ./run-test3.sh.

Lessons from Down Under
Presidents Cup 2019: 18 parting thoughts from Royal Melbourne
By Daniel Rapaport
MELBOURNE — Well, that was … Dramatic. Intense. Chippy. And close!
The 2019 Presidents Cup exceeded expectations, delivering an action-packed week that kept golf fans Ryder Cup-level captivated. Here are 18 parting thoughts from a pleasantly surprising stay Down Under.
1. We begin with a thought about this Presidents Cup, and Presidents Cups of the past. At the start of the week, it was generally perceived that the United States didn't care about this event. Golf Twitter had deemed it a useless exhibition, and if you caught some of the players in private, off the record and perhaps after a few cocktails, they'd tell you they'd rather have the week off. Right?
Hogwash. It's not that the U.S. didn't care before, it's that the matches just weren't close. When you're up 14½-3½ going into singles, as the Americans were two years ago at Liberty National, it's tough to look locked-in. But these guys are competitors. You don't get to the elite tier on the PGA Tour without having an innate desire to win, and because it was clear from Thursday morning on that this would be anything but a cake walk, all 12 U.S. players were just that, absolutely locked in.
2. What a joy it was to see Tiger Woods take apart Royal Melbourne with masterful precision. Of the 24 players who played in the Presidents Cup, Woods was middle of the pack in distance, if not slightly below average. But on a course where distance was secondary to guile, strategy and variety, Tiger wasn't just the best player on his team. He was the best player in the competition.
I never saw Woods play live at the height of his game in the early 2000s—well, I did, but I wasn't yet 10 years old, so perhaps my golf analysis wasn't yet refined. But it's hard to think it was all that different to watching him from Australia. Woods was in complete control of all aspects of his game, and able to call on most any shot knowing he could pull it off. Seeing it first-hand is an experience I'll never forget.
Ben Jared
3. One more Tiger thing: Much has been written about his softer on-course demeanor since the spinal fusion. It's true—he's chattier and friendlier with his playing partners than he used to be … until it's winning time. Tony Finau told an awesome story about his very limited interactions with Tiger in the final round of this year's Masters, and Woods had the same game face on Sunday in his singles match against Abraham Ancer.
I can say with some level of confidence that on Sunday at Melbourne, between the handshake on the first tee and the handshake on the 16th green, Woods never made eye-contact with his overmatched opponent. Woods walked well ahead of Ancer in the fairways and picked his tees up extra quickly after every tee shot. It was vintage stuff from the game's most unforgiving competitor, who clearly derived motivation from Ancer's taken-out-of-context comments at the Mayakoba Classic. "Abe wanted it; he got it," Woods said after the 3-and-2 victory. Icy.
RELATED: Tiger Woods drops the mic on Abraham Ancer during victory press conference
4. Now, about that comment at last month's Mayakoba Classic. Ancer was asked, in Spanish, who he would like to play in singles at the Presidents Cup. Here's his full answer, also given in Spanish:
"I would like to play against Tiger. But the truth is that our objective is to do everything we can to win. Winning a match in the singles would be very special, so we need to try to get the cup."
Ancer didn't say he wanted to play Tiger Woods because he thought he would beat Tiger Woods, or anything like that. This was not Stephen Ames suggested he could beat Tiger "especially where he's hitting the ball." This was a man being honest, saying he, the first Mexican golfer ever to compete in the Presidents Cup, would like to play against the greatest of all time. Can you blame him? It would be such a shame for Ancer to be known, even for a minute, as a guy who "called out" Tiger and then got dusted after doing so. That's just not what happened. Ancer—a former Australian Open champ who local fans called "Aussie Abe"—was fantastic here, and he should feel nothing but pride in his performance.
5. Ancer only picks up his tees, ball markers and takes the ball out of the hole with his left hand. It is immensely swaggy. Old school and delightful. He has a ton of fire. He'll be around a while.
6. We'll continue with some nuggets on the International team members. Let's start with their best player, Sungjae Im. I can't say enough good things about this golfing machine, who seems rather content to live a simple life of eating, practicing, playing golf and sleeping. Rinse, repeat. He demolished Gary Woodland in singles on Sunday, and Woodland didn't play poorly at all. "I played great, and got steamrolled," Woodland said. Just 21, Im has the potential to be an anchor of International teams for decades to come, and he's as good a bet as anyone to win multiple majors in the 2020s. I'm buying every available piece of Sungjae Im stock.

7. There was another 21-year-old on the International team, Joaquin Niemann. You know how there are some young athletes who look older than they are—just turn on a college football or basketball game. And then there are some young athletes who somehow look younger than they are. Niemann looks 17 years old, or could be mistaken for 14. But he doesn't play like it.
8. Ernie Els had to try to win this weekend with only 11 players as Haotong Li, for whatever reason, wasn't ready to compete. Els had to know it, having benched Li the first two days, and only begrudgingly playing him in Saturday four-balls because the rules required he play once before singles. Partnered with Marc Leishman, Li shot a generous front-nine 41, and he was predictably crushed by Dustin Johnson in singles.
So what was the problem for Li? There appear to be a few contributing factors. First and foremost, he simply hadn't been playing well of late. With no disrespect to the China Tour Championship, where he finished second two weeks ago, Li hasn't had a top 10 on any major tour since a T-4 at the European Tour's China Open in May.
Beyond being in poor form, there were a couple other factors at play, none of which reflect particularly well on the 24-year-old. Li fired his caddie after last month's DP World Tour Championship and showed up this week with his physio, who doesn't speak English and had little if any caddieing experience, on the bag. A source with intimate knowledge of the International side said Li was the only player who didn't listen to Els' advice on how to play Royal Melbourne. His seeming disinterest was caught on camera when Li was spotted looking at his phone during Els' speech after the heartbreaking defeat. This International side was a much more cohesive unit than we've seen from them before—at least, 11 of them were.

9. There are so many advantages to watching a golf tournament on TV, from getting to see every shot, to hearing the announcers' analysis, to being able to go to the fridge and grab leftovers during a commercial break. But there are certain things you pick up being at an event that stick with you.
On the 18th green on Sunday, Adam Hadwin had a 12-footer for birdie for what would have been a massive comeback victory over Bryson DeChambeau. Hadwin's caddie, Joe Cruz, was on the edge of the putting surface consulting his green-reading book—standard procedure (for better or worse) on today's PGA Tour. But when Hadwin crouched down to read the putt, he turned to Cruz and said, "Joe, forget the book. Let's do it old school." It was an awesome moment … one that would have become epic had Hadwin wound up making the putt.

Joe Cruz, Adam Hadwin
10. Moving over to the American side. You've surely read sufficient Patrick-Reed-is-problematic content, and I'm not here to argue with any of it. He's shockingly tone-deaf at best and downright toxic at worst. With all that said, man, does he have a fantastic short game. He might have the best set of hands on tour, and watching him hit bunker shots is as good as it gets from a purely golf perspective.
RELATED: Patrick Reed's miserable week ends with an impressive Sunday stand
11. Speaking of Patricks … Cantlay's swing looks like the generic swing from the create-a-player function in the old Tiger Woods video games. There is no wasted motion. It's machine-like. Nobody on the planet finds the sweet spot more frequently than Patrick Cantlay.
12. Tony Finau has become a fixture in recent years on leader boards at golf's most important tournaments and a member of the last two team-play competitions. His game travels and holds up on the biggest stages. It's one of the weirdest things, then, that he still has only one victory: the 2016 Puerto Rico Open. Having just turned 30, it's fair to say that it's time for Finau to start cashing in on his all-world talent by winning some freakin' golf tournaments already. He's past ready to make the leap from exciting newcomer to established champion. He's extremely overdue.
13. With the U.S. trailing, 10-8, heading into Sunday, a couple stats seemed to make the rounds on Golf Twitter. It was noted the Americans hadn't won a singles session since 2009, and they hadn't won 7½ points in singles—what they needed to secure the Cup—since 2005.
Though these numbers were kind of fun, they were also completely meaningless for a couple reasons. Every U.S. team is so very different, and there is a ton of turnover between them. Only one player from this year's team played on the 2005 and 2009 teams (guess who). Suggesting that the performance of U.S. lineups featuring Chris DiMarco and Scott Verplank means anything in relation to the current team is nonsense. It's like when they say a certain college team hasn't beaten another college team in so many years. So what?! There are none of the same players.
The other reason the U.S. hadn't done well in singles recently? They didn't have to. The Presidents Cup was more often than not clinched before the singles session draws to its conclusion, meaning the last couple Americans on the course just wanted to finish so they could celebrate with their teammates. Turns out the U.S. can do just fine in singles when needed.
RELATED: 7 things that broke right on Sunday for the Americans
14. I kind of missed Jordan Spieth this week. His game, which would have suited Royal Melbourne quite well. His emotions, which always seem to fire up his teammates. His candor, which always provides great quotes for writers, which of course is extremely important. His sense of humor. His singing. Here's hoping we don't see another U.S. team without Jordan Spieth for a long, long while.
15. Royal Melbourne was lavished with praise, and rightfully so. It doesn't kill you with distance, nor thick rough, nor any tricks at all. It's as good as it gets in championship golf. However, it's not the only phenomenal course in the region.
The Australian Sandbelt has uniquely sandy soil and a specific climate that lends itself to great drainage and, thus, super-firm courses that combine the best aspects of links and parkland courses. The bunkers are fantastic and like nothing you'll see in America (let Geoff Ogilvy explain why). Simply put, it's a terrific place for a golf trip.
I got a small taste of it when I snuck in a Thursday afternoon nine as the sun set over Victoria Golf Club, which is directly adjacent to Royal Melbourne. I hope heaven is something like an afternoon nine as the sun sets over Victoria Golf Club.
16. How many times did we hear the term "firm and fast" this week? A thousand? A thought experiment: Is it possible for a course—not just putting greens, but the whole course—to be firm but not fast? Or fast but not firm? Why don't we just save ourselves some keyboard clicks and combine the two words: "This course is firmandfast."
17. There is nothing like the momentum shifts in match play. At one point on Friday afternoon, the International side held a back-nine lead in all five matches of the foursomes session. It legitimately looked like it would sweep and take a ridiculous 9-1 lead on the Americans. About an hour later, the U.S. had a legitimate chance to sweep the session. Things happen so, so much faster in match play than they do in stroke play.
After every one of these team events, I have the same takeaway: pro golf needs more meaningful match play than one team event and one buzzless WGC each year. I'm not sure what that looks like. Maybe the Tour Championship/FedEx Cup should incorporate some match play? Perhaps a stroke play aspect to narrow it down to eight players, then have them square off for $15 million? I'm spitballing here, but the point is these guys clearly love going head-to-head, and it feels like casual fans can identify more with a putt to win or tie a hole than a putt to save par and keep place in a competition against 150 other players.
18. We always look back on team-play uniforms of decades past and laugh. The horrible picture-frame shirts from the 1999 U.S. Ryder Cup team come to mind, as do the Europeans' putrid argyle vests from the Ryder Cup in 2010. So I just want to go on record to say I think the U.S.'s outfits were crispy as can be this week. Credit to Lacoste and whoever whipped up those uniforms.
I will surely look back on this bullet point in 10 years and cringe.
