HOW WE HONOR AGE AROUND THE WORLD
Learning from our elders should be a priority, and while the rest of the world greatly value & celebrate their elders, the US has seriously lagged behind, and it shows. Afterall, history repeats itself, and in the grand search for the meaning of life, who better to turn to for advice? These cultural perspectives can have a huge effect on our experience of getting older and the elderly are commonly removed from the community, which then in turn affects the soul of a culture. We can learn a lot from others.
**There are SO many more countries to add to this list, this was just a small sampling and will be updated.
There are over 500 Native American nations, and each has its own traditions and attitudes toward aging and elderly care. But in many tribal communities, elders are respected for their wisdom and life experiences. Within Native American families, it's common for the elders to be expected to pass down their learnings to younger members of the family
Many Indians live in joint family units, with the elders acting as the head of the household. The elders are supported by the younger members of the family and they in turn play a key role in raising their grandchildren. It is an Indian tradition for youngsters to touch the feet of their elders, which is known as 'a mark of love, and respect for them, and a request for their blessings'. Also, disrespecting the elders of the family or sending them to an old-age home has a social stigma in India.
In China, an 'Elderly Rights Law' was introduced to inform adult children that they 'should never neglect or snub elderly people' and must make arrangements to visit them 'often', regardless of their proximity. Although not clear, on how often is enough, the law itself shows that in China, older people are not to be disrespected.
Like the Chinese and the Koreans, the Japanese prize filial piety and expect children to dutifully tend to their parents. In Japan, the 60th and 70th birthday are marked with big celebrations where children perform dances and offer gifts. According to Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective, 7.2 percent of the Japanese population will be 80 or older in 2020 (compared to 4.1 percent in the U.S.)
The Western cultural stigma around aging and death doesn't exist in Greece. In Greek and Greek-American culture, old age is honored and celebrated, and respect for elders is central to the family.
Not only do Koreans respect the elderly, but they also celebrate them. For Koreans, the 60th and 70th birthdays are prominent life events, which are commemorated with large-scale family parties and feasts. As in Chinese culture, the universal expectation in Korea is that roles reverse once parents age, and that it is an adult child's duty — and an honorable one at that — to care for his or her parents.
Though the average life expectancy in ancient Rome was around 25, some individuals did live into their 70s, and they were generally respected for their wisdom. "The old had to be an example to the young, as it was thought the young learned by example. This was ingrained in Roman society." ~ Dr. Karen Cokayne
It's difficult to imagine such an Elderly Rights Law being a legislative priority in many Western cultures. France did, however, pass a similar decree in 2004 (Article 207 of the Civil Code) requiring its citizens to keep in touch with their geriatric parents.

Black Lives Matter Targets Los Angeles District Attorney
Activists want to vote out Jackie Lacey, L.A.'s first Black D.A., arguing she hasn't prosecuted enough police shootings
In the last decade, the smartphone has become a tool for witnessing police violence toward African Americans. From the 2009 killing of Oscar Grant to the 2020 killing of George Floyd, we reviewed the footage and talked to the people who captured it, to see how the accounts of racial injustice became clearer as the phones evolved.

LOS ANGELES—At a recent Black Lives Matter rally here, organizers talked about the effects of police violence on minority communities and then asked a question not often heard at such events: "Who are you not going to vote for this November?"
"Jackie Lacey!" the crowd of hundreds roared back, naming the Los Angeles district attorney.

Former postman to become mayor
A popular former postman has become the new Mayor of Leamington.
Mota Singh came to Leamington in 1963 and worked at the Ford Foundry, in Princes Drive, for 10 years before working for Royal Mail for more than 25 years.
He also became the first Asian chairman of Warwickshire County Council, back in 2000.
Widower Cllr Singh says he is now looking forward to his year in office - and reckons that over-seeing Leamington's entry into the final of this year's Britain in Bloom competition will be one of his more enjoyable tasks.
"I wish and hope we win the award," he said.
Community safety is also one of his priorities.
"I hope to get the community to work together for community harmony so we can understand all the different races and colours we have in the area and teach our children to do the same so we can live a wonderful life in this town.
"We will work together with other agencies, such as the district and county councils and the police, to make the town crime-free.
"With co-operation, we can do this," he said.
Cllr Singh's chosen charity is the Diabetic Association, of which he is a member.
He said: "I lost my wife a year ago and she suffered diabetes. If I can do anything for this association, then I will."
Cllr Singh paid tribute to outgoing mayor Eithne Goode and said she had set a wonderful example to him.
Nominating him as mayor, Leamington town councillor Bill Evans (Lab, Brunswick) said: "I believe he was the most popular postman in the town.
"It is astonishing how many people regard him as a particular friend."


A guide to the superb 145km trek around the Matterhorn, walking anti-clockwise from Zermatt, with a huge variety of scenery and culture. As the Matterhorn straddles the Swiss / Italian frontier, the trek visits both Switzerland and Italy, each with its own unique traditions, way of life and scenery. The Tour goes over high passes via Zinal, Arolla and Breuil, visiting charming alpine villages where life has hardly changed for centuries, providing a precious insight into local life. Not only is the Matterhorn seen from all sides, but there are also superb vantage points for views of many of the other high summits of the region. The Tour of the Matterhorn has been documented only in the last few years but the paths it uses are often ancient ways over passes leading from one valley to another. The tour includes two glacier crossings and usually takes about eight to ten days to complete. This guide includes suggestions for shorter variants as well as information for the ascent of peaks along the way.

College Associations
Coach of Niagara University, Women's D1
The 2019 season will be the seventh for Wendy Stone as the Purple Eagles' head women's lacrosse coach.
In her six seasons as the head coach of the Purple Eagles, Stone has coached four All-MAAC First Team honorees: Elizabeth Benedict (2016), Carrie-Jo Farrugia (2015), Alexandra Higgins (2017 and 2018) and Rachel MacCheyne (2017 and 2018). Niagara has also produced 11 All-MAAC Second Team selections, 11 MAAC All-Rookie Team selections, and 58 MAAC All-Academic honorees under Stone's guidance. Additionally, MacCheyne became the program's first-ever IWLCA honoree after being named to the 2018 West/Midwest All-Region Second Team.
In 2018, the Purple Eagles went 8-9 in the regular season and made the MAAC Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. The team also set a single-season record with 14 student-athletes named to the MAAC All-Academic Team for their high marks in the classroom.
Niagara capped the 2017 season with the team's first appearance in the MAAC semifinals since 2003, which came after a dominant 16-4 victory over Monmouth in the first round of the MAAC Championships. The Purple Eagles matched the efforts of the 2016 team with a 9-10 overall record and a 5-3 mark in MAAC play. The season was marked by record-setting performances at both ends of the field. Sophomore Rachel MacCheyne set Niagara single-season records in goals (60) and points (75), while junior Grace Hunt tied the program record with 38 assists. At the defensive end, Alexandra Higgins seized the program's single-season records in ground balls (58), draw controls (111) and caused turnovers (37). Higgins was named MAAC Defender of the Year and joined MacCheyne on the 2017 All-MAAC First Team. The 2017 graduating class was highlighted by defender Kara Martin, the program's career leader in ground balls (137) and goalkeeper Andrea Francisco, who ended her four-year career first all-time at Niagara in wins (28) and third in saves (478).

Teens in Jeopardy
Rapid increase in autistic teens arrested
Home/Autism News/Ahead of the Curve
Autism Citizen is a relatively new organization, but our leadership is well ahead of the curve and doing something about it! It wasn't hard to predict that with the rapid increase in the number of boys up to 21 years of age being diagnosed with autism, there would be a consequential and natural increase in the number of court cases.
The article linked HERE clearly shows that minors with autism are getting caught up in the legal system, which isn't prepared to deal with them. While the autistic are no more inclined to crime than the rest of the population, they are more often the victims of crimes, and often duped into participating in crimes they don't understand.
Essentially, the article states that a recent study shows that autistic youths in Pennsylvania are getting caught up in the legal system far more often than before. We believe this is a growing trend, and that our legal systems are ill-prepared to deal with this trend. The study's numbers validate this, showing that in the juvenile courts, the number of cases increased from 659 in 2005 to 1423.4 in 2011. We believe the number of cases in the regular courts are seeing comparable increases in cases involving autistic persons.
This rapid increase is by no means limited to Pennsylvania, but is a national trend and a serious issue for courts in every state and municipality. Often unable to comprehend or respond to things said to them, these youths are all too often mistreated and denied the civil liberties and rights afforded to others who are not on the autism spectrum.
When an autistic person goes to court, they are not provided or accorded the same respect as those with other conditions, such as deafness. No counselor is provided, nor any help made available. Some who have special needs dogs are denied having their dogs with them, though if they were blind, a seeing-eye dog would be permitted. And it doesn't matter why the person is in court – be they a witness, victim of a crime or for criminal or civil cases.
More disconcerting is the fact that the attorneys who may represent them; the judges who'll pass judgment or sentence; the prosecutors who'll manage the case; and public defenders — all have no training to deal with autism. As a result, the autistic are rarely understood in courtrooms, and their behavior is usually misinterpreted as something different. Equally bad, they cannot find attorneys who understand the condition or the common traits of autistic behavior.
For example, an innocent autistic young man may divert his eyes and refuse to make eye contact with the jury. The judge fails to explain this to them, and the prosecutor says he's hiding the truth. As a result, he could be wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit, for that, and his slow, deliberate answers in cross-examination.
Lee Atwater, the famous political consultant once said "Perception is reality." Unfortunately, the prejudices people have about autism filter into the courtroom, and thus people's perceptions of an autistic person become their reality, whether true or not, resulting in harm to all too many autistic citizens going through our courts.
The misunderstanding of autism leads to miscarriages of justice; to ineffective assistance of counsel; and to a lack of equality in judicial decisions. The only cure for this situation is education of the legal community.
Autism Citizen, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity created to advocate for the autistic, including legal matters, through education of those in the courts, business, government and the professions.

Obama's pros, cons as summer of campaigning starts
WASHINGTON – Four months from Election Day, President Barack Obama has an edge in support among women, African-Americans, Hispanics and young people, groups that could swing the race in November.
He retains the power of incumbency and people generally like him.
But there are indications that Obama's supporters aren't as enthusiastic about him as they once were, and the Democrat no longer is in a fundraising league of his own, with Republican Mitt Romney and GOP-leaning groups raking in the campaign cash.
Plus, the shaky economy, which crashed in fall of 2008 and helped Obama capture the presidency, is a huge vulnerability. Come November, it could trump all his other advantages.
A look at Obama's assets and liabilities:
Power of Incumbency: He's the president, and that means he can set the national agenda. It's a power Obama has put to good use during his re-election campaign. He used the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death to remind voters of his national security credentials. He made a direct appeal to Hispanics by announcing a more lenient immigration policy for people who came to the U.S. illegally as children. The president also already is known to the public so his campaign can focus its efforts on defining Romney instead of spending time and money introducing Obama.
Demographics: Obama leads Romney among women, African-Americans, Hispanics and young people, edges with key voting blocs that could help him capture battleground states. The Obama campaign is banking on support from Hispanics to win out west in places like Nevada and Colorado, and in Virginia, where the Hispanic population has surged. High turnout among African-Americans would help Obama in North Carolina. And if Obama wins the women vote, it would be a significant boost to his efforts to reach the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.
Likability: No matter how bad the economy gets or how low Obama's job approval ratings dip, polls show many Americans still like the president. And that personal appeal could make a big difference with undecided voters who may find it hard to vote against someone they like. About 50 percent of those surveyed in a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll felt positively about Obama, compared to 33 percent who felt positively about Romney.
Strong Surrogates: The Obama campaign has two popular and persuasive surrogates at its disposal: Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Both keep up a robust campaign schedule. They head to battleground states when official business keeps the president in Washington. And they're dispatched to places where they may be more popular than he is. The first lady's approval ratings — 64 percent view her favorably according to a recent Pew poll — far exceed her husband's. And Biden has an easier rapport than Obama with white, working class voters in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Economy: There is no greater threat to Obama's re-election prospects than the economy. Even the most loyal Obama supporters say that if the already shaky economy softens any further before Election Day, the president's chances of winning will be significantly diminished. The nation's unemployment rate is stuck above 8 percent, though it has come down from its high of 10.1 percent in 2009. No one in the White House or Obama campaign expect significant economic improvement before the election. But advisers do fear that the economy could get worse, it could cement the notion with voters that the president is the wrong economic steward.
Outside money: Romney and outside groups supporting him are expected to spend more than $1 billion during the campaign, with much money being used to flood the airwaves with TV ads attacking the president. Democrats have struggled to compete with the torrent of GOP money. A Democratic super political action committee hasn't come close to matching the fundraising totals of its Republican counterparts. And Obama's campaign was vastly outraised by Romney's campaign last month. The president and his advisers say Obama could be the first incumbent running for re-election to get outspent — though the also may be trying to motivate reluctant Democratic donors.
Waning Enthusiasm: Obama himself acknowledges that his candidacy isn't as exciting as it was in 2008 when he was a political newcomer. Voters who lack enthusiasm may not donate money or volunteer for his campaign. They also may not show up to vote in November. That's a particular concern for Obama among young people, who not only voted for him in large numbers in 2008, but were a core part of his volunteer base. A Pew Research Center poll conducted last month showed that 60 percent of younger voters say they are giving quite a lot of thought to the election, down from 71 percent in 2008.
Lack of second term specifics: Obama's re-election rationale is based more on broad themes, like economic fairness, than specific policy objectives for a second term. A recent economic speech in Ohio was largely a rehash of ideas the president has previously proposed. It left the president open to criticism from Republicans and some Democrats who say he hasn't provided voters a clear enough sense of what he wants to do in a second term. Obama campaign officials counter this criticism by saying the presidents still wants to pass previously proposed ideas that were blocked by Congress in his first term — and by noting that Romney hasn't offered many specifics of his own.

On CRM: Infusionsoft Rebrands As Keap Because That's What Small Businesses Want
I write about public policy and tech that impacts my small business.
Infusionsoft is now called Keap. But the re-branding is not the only big change that happened.
The Arizona-based company, known for its powerful CRM and marketing automation applications, is also changing its focus. Sure, its core products will continue to be developed and sold as Infusionsoft. But the company's leaders have decided to pivot from just offering a CRM application to offering a more comprehensive set of business tools specifically for small businesses that work in and around the CRM model.
"We'll continue to lead the CRM and marketing automation industry with exciting updates coming this year with what we are now calling Infusionsoft by Keap," the company's COO Keith Reed said in a press release. "With the introduction of our new Keap product, we are able to serve an even larger market of small service providers who have been shut out of the benefits of automation because software providers have made it too hard and expensive."
I'm still a little fuzzy on the name Keap, but I get the idea. Major CRM brands have been in a historic (and losing) battle to truly meet the demands of small businesses. The problem has been that either their products are too complex or they require too many add-ons to make them full-functioning.
This is why we're seeing more and more suites of offerings – like Zoho (my company sells Zoho products) Apptivo, OneUp and Sugar - that are taking over a greater share of the small business CRM market. These products – some are CRM, some are accounting with CRM features - are being marketed as a one-stop-shop solution of applications that not only provide CRM functionality but financial, billing and service capabilities all under one roof. This is the holy grail for most of my small business clients who don't have the resources, or the patience, to deal with multiple, complicated applications that (supposedly) integrate with each other.
Keap is also taking things to a more granular level. Rather than trying to have its cake and eat it with all small businesses (and there are tens of millions of us) the company is focusing on small service providers like consulting firms, contractors, interior design, home repair and fitness companies. Basically, any small business that needs a single resource for client management, appointment setting, billing, payment, quoting and of course basic CRM functionalities like lead and pipeline management would be a targeted customer for Keap.
"Over the last two years, we've talked with thousands of small business owners to get a deeper understanding of their unique challenges in today's market," Keap CEO Clate Mask wrote in a letter to its website visitors and in its press release. "We discovered small service providers waste time juggling five to seven tools just to book appointments, send communications, provide quotes or collect payments. That is 50 hours a month that could be spent servicing more clients, growing the business or at home with family."
Based on my experience, Keap is going to have its challenges. I'm sure the application is great, but let's face it: small businesses can be a tough audience – and the smaller the firm, the tougher. We tend to be irrationally demanding as if we're a large company. Because of the stresses that challenge us every day we are oftentimes impatient, inconsistent and difficult to nail down. Because our resources are limited we sometimes to push the envelope for services and pricing. And because of our financial challenges we sometimes reverse course, delay decisions and struggle to live up to our promises. Well, at least that's me. But I think I can comfortably say that many of these factors apply to the hundreds of small business clients my company serves as well. So Keap will have its work cut out.
But then again, maybe not. Maybe, because Keap will be focused on delivering a more full-featured one-stop-shop business application to its small business customers that helps them perform many of their core business functions out of one place the company will succeed in this fickle market. Considering all that they're offering, I hope they do.


It was a dream, just a dream but I wanted to catch it before it went. I was at Cambridge University. I'd got a place on a course, though I couldn't remember in what or whether it was for a PhD or an MA. I was in this enormous hall and climbing down these huge steps, some of which I had to let myself down bodily, towards a central part where I thought I could find someone to help me. People, students were scurrying off to lectures. Then I realised I didn't have any paperwork with me or my notebook. I kept walking arriving in a suburban setting with houses and then rooms. A woman who looked like the typical rather dotty art teacher was standing at the threshold of one of these rooms, I could see easels and students drawing. Come in, she said clearly delighted. Her hair was grey and wild. No, I said trying to explain that I was looking for something else. Was it the English Department? Then she began to ask about my father and whether he painted. I said that he may have done. Then she wanted to know what size. I got angry with her. Why can you tell me where I'm supposed to go? I shouted. As I left I saw another door slightly ajar. Should I close it? I thought. And then I woke up.

The Duchess appeared in The Muppet Show Episode 506, as one of many characters from the Alice in Wonderland books. Originally appearing in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Duchess is a querulous, intensely ugly aristocrat who oversees a turbulent household, including a pepper-obsessed cook, a Cheshire Cat, and a squawling baby. The Duchess later throws the baby out, who then turns into a pig. She returns, cowed into friendliness by the threat of decapitation, to joing Alice at the croquet match and trial.
On The Muppet Show, the Duchess is a minor figure, appearing in the chorus and background of many scenes. She has a single solo line during the "Smile" medley, and is usually accompanied by the baby. During the courtroom scene, she's holding a piglet, the transformed baby; both serve as proxy Muppaphone keys for judge Marvin Suggs.
In the 1999 TV movie Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Elizabeth Spriggs appeared as the Duchess.

As a staple of American SUVs, the Jeep Wrangler has been around for decades. Originally birthed in 1987, the Wrangler was the direct successor to the off road SUV king that was the Jeep CJ. First created for military use, the CJ was the world's first pedestrian four-wheel drive car that sparked an entire segment of the automotive industry. With history comes standards, and the 2019 Jeep Wrangler has exceeded expectation in its delivery of power, comfort, and off road capability. Find the best fit Jeep Wrangler model for you at Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge today!
The driving prowress of the 2019 Jeep Wrangler shines when it comes to off-road capability. The Rubicon is the king of all trims with large 33-inch tires able to traverse creeks, dunes, and dirt of all kind. Solid axle suspension and tight steering seen in all trims make for the best off road capable vehicle in the automotive market. Accelerating in the 3.6 liter V6 standard on all trims is a breeze with an effortless 0-60mph run in 7 seconds. Mountain climbs or highway passing is no effort for the 2019 Wrangler. Handling remains tight in the Wrangler as dips and cracks in the road are no issue for the large tires and robust suspension. Steering is tight and responsive in this truck based SUV, making road drives just as fulfilling as off road trails.
Inviting front seats and automatic climate control make the drive just as welcoming from the inside. An upright seating position reminiscent of Wranglers offers a firm but comfortable seating position and the rear bench continues to comfort passengers with plush cushions and a reclining option. Road noise is bearable given the removable panels of the 2019 Wrangler, with ride comfort exceeding expectations with a relatively smooth composure on pavement. Soft top Wranglers have been improved to reduce noise as much as possible.
An ergonomically designed interior places control of the infotainment at the driver's fingertips, with easy to use controls that minimalize any effort. Climate control knobs and buttons remain within reach for operation without a need to take your eyes off the road. Entering the Wrangler is facilitate by oversized door handles and wide door cutouts. Once inside you'll find the interior cabin space of the 2019 Wrangler to be very generous with an ample amount of shoulder and legroom. Visibility is a non issue as large windshields and door windows allow for a full view aroun dthe vehicle, and a standard backup camera to supplement.
The utility of the Jeep Wrangler reaches far beyond off road exploring. With LATCH anchors in the rear seats carrying a car seat for young children is made easy. Storage is a healthy 31.7 cubic feet and the rear seats fold all the way down to add even more space for hauling large objects. Small bins inside the cabin add cargo space for small items, and four cupholders come standard. Towing is also an asset for the 2019 Jeep Wrangler, capable of hauling 3,500 pounds.
Technology upgrades are perhaps some of the most impressive for the 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler has a easy to use touchscreen navigation system that also integrates easily with smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Infotainment ranges from a 5-inch screen to a 8.4-inch touchscreen with available 9-speaker Apline sound system to create a truly theater like experience. All features of the infotainment can be accessed via voice controls and steering wheel buttons so you can keep your eyes on the road. Safety technology features also include blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and parking-lot proximity warnings.

This black and white print of Empress Eugénie after the 1853 Winterhalter is spectacular in its own right.
After the bitter experiences of the past that saw the failure of two republics, and the revival of the monarchy by autocrats like the Napoleons, and by international intervention after the defeat of Napoleon I, that led to the restoration of the House of Bourbon, there was much debate in the national assembly of the third republic, as to the prudence of holding on to the decadent royal symbols like the French crown jewels, which could be used by a potential dictator or monarch to restore the old order. Thus the national assembly unanimously decided to disperse the entire French crown jewels by public auction, save for any pieces of cultural and historic significance. Accordingly the first president of the third republic, Francois Paul Jules Grevy, ordered the sale of the crown jewels by pubic auction, between May 12 and 23, 1887, to be conducted by the Administration of State Properties..."

Q: Android: Access to AssetManager inside a singleton class? I have a singleton class which manages data and database handling of my application. I create a sqlite3 database with default values and kept it in the asset directory. In one of my APIs of this class I have made a check that if DB doesn't exist in /data/data//my.db  then copy it from asset directory to this location.
Given my class is singleton and doesn't inherit from UI classes, Is this possible that I can write this API in my current setup or I have to rethink some alternate design?
Class DBHandler {

// singleton class

public void initDatabase() {

   File dbFile = new File("/data/data/<mypackage/a.db>");
   if (dbFile.exists()) {
    return;
   }

   //copy database from asset directory

   //How to do this here?????

}

};

I want to know is this possible??

A: Pass a Context reference to initDatabase(), then you can use its methods to acceess files and databases in your app's private directory.

The Sticky Rice Villas are located behind the Sticky Rice Cooking School – and both get rave reviews.
You don't have to be a student at the school to book a villa, but it certainly seems to add to the experience: what's not to like about a day of learning to cook Asian-style cuisine then polishing off your creations with paired wines before tumbling into bed?
The three villas are small sensations of Asian style (informed by Balinese and Japanese aesthetics and furnishings) with indulgences like private courtyards, deep standalone baths and state of the art kitchens.
The complex won an architectural award in 2013 and has hosted a number of top chefs, including Tetsuya. It's located about a kilometer from the centre of Stirling.
Ideal for: Couples, gourmands, fun-lovers.
Not good if: You don't like rice.

Bruce the Russian Feminized Cannabis Seeds by Cream of the Crop Seeds: This new monster THC rich strain has been achieved by crossing Bruce Banner (Strawberry Diesel & OG Kush) and the legendary White Russian (White Widow x AK47). She has a super fruity smell coming from her Strawberry Diesel roots, not forgetting the distinctive fuel edge coming through too. She grows tall and proud, and will produce very resinous buds. The smoke is a long lasting & well balanced with a relaxing body stoned combined with cerebral high. Treat her with love and she will produce some shirt busting yields; with a 9-10 week flowering time indoors, and mid-October if your outdoors.
Bruce the Russian, she's mean, and most certainly green!

← NBA Draft 2010: Quick Euro Analysis Tibor Pleiss: from the Circus-Tent to the NBA →
Kevin Seraphin: Now listen to this Wizards
June 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment
With the number of European prospects drafted this year, I decided to have a review on every specific player. The first name that has been announced was Kevin Seraphin from France. It looked like David Stern has specifically practiced his French before the draft as he started his announcement with a very proud "Now listen to this" that he found so funny that he continued his speech with a little smirk on his face. So let's check out who Seraphin really is, you better listen to this Wizards fans.
Even if Seraphin was in reality selected by the Chicago Bulls, there are no doubts that the French Center will be traded to the Washington Wizards at the beginning of the NBA Trading period. A destination that was the first choice of Seraphin's entourage as his agents confirmed to the press. Seraphin spoke about Washington while still wearing his Chicago Bulls head in the post-Draft press conference and he is already excited to play with John Wall.
I have a good feeling with the team in Washington. They told me they really count on me, and I'm going to work. I know that I have to work hard now. And to get the opportunity to play with John Wall is going to help me, too, because John Wall is a tremendous player.
When it comes to his playing style, Seraphin also gave the journalists and fans some indications what they can expect from him.
The career of Seraphin started back in 2007 when he joined for the first time the professional roster of Cholet Basket, a team that is known for producing a lot of young talent and its great relations with the different French oversea territories. A multitude of French players have their background in Guyana or Guadeloupe and struggle in the beginning when they come over the Europe. With other players having the same background in his team, Seraphin integrated quickly the real rotation of the professional team and was soon looked at as the next big thing coming out of Cholet. Nearly every year, the team produces NBA talent (2009: Rodrigue Beaubois, Nando de Colo, 2010: Kevin Seraphin) and the pipeline of future talents is full with prospects like Christophe Leonard or Rudy Gobert.
Seraphin developed step-by-step and earned more and more minutes during the season 2008/2009. With Comsport starting to take care of his career, the trip was predictable and the next stage was the participation to the Nike Hoop Summit in April 2009. The French guy used this event to put his name on the table of a multitude of NBA Franchises with an interesting performance.
Being only used during limited minutes in Cholet, the event in Portland was a bit of a coming out party on the highest level for the French Center. Displaying great athleticism and very large hands, Kevin Seraphin showed a big presence on the rebound on both ends of the court. You could see his arm raise several times out of the paint to get the ball far above the rim. He also had several blocked shots coming on help situations or as a second row goalkeeper.
Offensively though, Seraphin has still a lot of progress before as he is not very accurate when it comes to jump shots. Close to the rim, he finishes with dunks or layups but missed a couple of close shots around the basket. He has already a big body and knows how to use in order to gain a favorable position over the defenders. He should see a lot more minutes from next season on in the French championship and it will be interesting to see at what level he will be after a full season of professional basketball.
With the growth of Seraphin, his team Cholet Basket also grew in terms of competition it faced. While they played in the 3rd class EuroChallenge during the 2008/2009 season, the team from Western France qualified for the 2nd class Eurocup in 2009/2010. In the same line, Seraphin improved his game and averaged good 6.5ppg, 6.5rpg and 1.2bpg in this competition. In December 2009, I scouted him during a Eurocup game against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. His game looked already improved despite a slow start into the season with a multitude of DNP-Coach Decision games.
Down low, once he has got the ball, he can easily dominate against smaller or less physical players than himself. The jump hook looks currently to be his main offensive weapon as he can use it either by turning to the baseline or by turning to the middle. Close to the basket, he looks to be ambidextrous even if he mainly uses his right hand for the hook. However, you could see him for example go for a nice post move where he used his left hand to turn around his defender and score on an underhand finger-roll. He also shows surprising mobility and speed in the post as he can also go baseline for underhand reverse layups.
Next to his low post game, he started to show some face-up game as well and how to use his interesting speed and explosiveness.
From the top, he can attack the basket with one to two dribbles, finish after a spin move or on a short jump shot. Seraphin is quite explosive off his two feet and dunks the ball with ferocity. He can run the break as a trailer but needs to be more effective on the finish of those situations as he got for example rejected on a layup attempt where he may have gone for a dunk. He showed the right reaction after that play as he has learned how to finish and concluded the next play with a massive one-handed thunder dunk after one dribbling.
The NBA Draft seemed to come closer and with the announcement of his name as an early-entry candidate was not a big surprise. With the successful season of his team Cholet and a long run in the French playoffs, you could imagine already that Seraphin was not able to workout for a lot of teams or participate to the Adidas Eurocamp in Treviso. Additionally, a slight knee injury even took him out of the court for the French finals and reduced his visits to NBA Franchises only to Interviews and psychological tests. What looked on one hand as a handicap for him as he could not show his skills to interested NBA teams, those franchises that really wanted him and scouted him back in Europe knew that they have an advantage. With the announcement of David Stern as 17th pick and the trade of the Bulls sending him to the Wizards, the dream of the Cayenne native has come true.

Genealogy - My Family History
Genealogy - Tips and Tricks
Andrew J. Conn in Wild Kentucky
Andrew J. Conn was my husband's 2nd great great uncle. To simplify, he was the son of my husband's 3rd great grandparents, George William Conn and Margaret Holmes. This Conn family lived in Garrard County, Kentucky, outside of Lancaster in a town called Paint Lick.
Andrew, or Andy as he was known, was born about 1843 in Kentucky. Sometime before 1869, he married Argatha Stigall, and they had five children. Andy caused a lot of trouble in life, or trouble found him. Even after his death, he had some family and community support.
Andy was a drinker and a fighter. He was also quick to pull his weapon.
In February, 1873, the story of one such fight was published in the Interior Journal (Stanford, KY):
A Bloody Fight
In the streets of Lancaster, to-day, and that again our usually quiet and peaceful town has witnessed one of those disgraceful and bloody encounters that should be felt as a stigma even by the savage Indian or pagan African. The facts, as near as we can gather them, are these: A Mr. Andy Conn and Jno. Broadus, from the East end of the county, having become surcharged with rot-gut, busthead, rifle whisky, determined, as we may suppose, to show their contempt for all law and the loathsome depravity of their nature, drew their pistols and commenced shooting at each other on the street. At the first fire an innocent by-stander was shot below the knee-joint, and the bone was badly fractured. Mr. Broadus was shot twice in the body, and it is supposed fatally. Mr. Conn, who sheltered himself behind a post, escaped unhurt. Our good citizens of Lancaster sincerely deplore the recurrence of such scenes. Our town has been remarkably orderly for two years past, and it was hoped that these scenes of ignorance and barbarism had gone to recur no more. It is well on occasions like this for every good citizen to enquire why it is that these things occur so frequently and become such a fearful curse to society. We know that there are very many communities and towns in our land where such lawless scenes are unknown; but we know too that in those places there is moral courage to enforce rigidly the law, and that the red-handed murderer is hailed by no respectable person as a champion; and the rumseller, tipler, and sot, find no place in decent society; and the man who attempts to carry his concealed weapon, is not only severely punished by law, but is at once marked as a cowardly bully and ruffian. And especially, Mr. Editor, is it the duty of our public journals to take a high moral stand in these things, and aid to elevate the general moral tone of society, that we may be rid of these curses.
Also in 1873:
Extensive Fire.
About five o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by the alarm-bells and cry of "Fire," and it was soon perceived that this pitiless monster held in his devouring grasp one of the handsomest business structures in town. . . As usual after a fire, Young America and Africa, not content to have the outer man warmed, must heat the inner man with rifle, whisky, whereby several bloody noses and black eyes were caused. Owing to the fact that the chivalry were so hastily aroused that they forgot to buckle on their revolvers, we have no killed or wounded to report this week.
The Wounded.
We are glad to be able to report that the wounded in the battle of the 24th altimo are doing well, with a fair chance of living to fight another day. It is thought that the leg of Broadus, Sr., will have to be amputated, while Broadus, Jr., who was supposed to be mortally wounded, will probably recover. We understand that, in accords with Garrard justice, Mr. Conn was not required to enter into any bond or recognizance, but roams his native hills a free man and a champion of the first magnitude.
And more from 1873:
Interior Journal (Stanford, KY)
Mr. Andy Conn was tried on Saturday for shooting young Broadus in an affray some time since, and acquitted.
In 1874, Andy Conn was accused of murdering the local postmaster:
Horrible Murder in Lancaster! Postmaster Wm. Hedger, Assaulted and Killed by Nese Best and Andy Conn.
On Monday afternoon, last, Wm. Hedger, Postmaster at Lancaster, a quiet, inoffensive citizen, and an efficient officer, was assaulted in his office in Lancaster, and instantly killed by Nese Best and Andy Conn, citizens of the Paint Lick section of Garrard county, and notoriously dangerous characters.
We were in Lancaster on Tuesday, and found the citizens, as a general thing, afraid to speak of, or express an opinion about the awful tragedy, above a whisper; however, we gathered the following particulars of the killing, from reliable sources. We record the terrible crime, but refrain from commenting upon it, for the reason that it is not always safe for a Journalist to undertake to condemn in adequate terms the perpetrators of a crime, when the people in the locality in which it is perpetrated have not the boldness and true bravery to rise up in their might and protect themselves and their neighbors, officers and advisers, and maintain, at all hazards, the majesty of the law. Without making a diagnosis, or furnishing a prescription for the present case, we will venture to suggest that "desperate cases require heroic and desperate treatment."
Several months ago, Hedger, the deceased, married the sister of his deceased wife, who was also a sister to the wife of Best. Best forbade, without the shadow of authority, this marriage, and after its consummation, threatened the life of Hedger. Best being a dangerous character, having taken the lives of some four or five men within the past few years, Hedger has lived in continual dread of his carrying the threat into execution.
On last Monday, Best, in company with Conn, visited Lancaster, and during the day became intoxicated. Hedger, fearing an assault, locked his office and remained concealed sometime, but a few minutes before the arrival of the Louisville mail, he returned to his office to attend to his imperative duties, and just as he entered the door, Conn and Best approached it from different directions and commenced firing. Hedger fell, mortally wounded, if not killed, from the first fire. Other shots were fired after he fell, and four shots took effect. His wife heard the firing and instinctively devined the cause, and she was the first to go to the dead body of her husband. The scene which then ensued begs description. She was carried away from the scene of the shocking tragedy heart-broken and insensible; while the perpetrators of it walked leisurely away, brandishing their weapons and boasting of the cruel deed.
Writs for the arrest of Best and Conn were immediately placed in the hands of officers Miller and Singleton. As they approached the men, determined to arrest them at all hazards, they were met by the sheriff of the county, Mr. W. M. Kerby, who informed them that Conn and Best had placed themselves in his custody, and he was responsible for their detention. So far, so good; but the sequel shows that these men who had but a moment before shot down in cold blood, a defenceless and inoffensive citizen, were suffered to go from the very clutches of an offended and outraged law, upon the mere promise that they would return the next day for trial! We simply record this ugly circumstance connected with an awful tragedy that blackens the blood-stained annals of crime in Kentucky, with the hope that it is a mistake. It is a grave charge to make against an officer of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and we disclaim its authorship.
Later - and more trouble.- We learn from a gentleman who came ever from Lancaster on Wednesday morning, that Best and Conn had not been arrested, tho' the Sheriff and his deputy went in quest of them Tuesday. We also learn that Best and Conn state that Hedger fired upon them first. A small loaded Derrenger was found in Mr. Hedger's pocket. No other weapons were found upon his person or in his office. Best promises to surrender for trial as soon as the excitement subsides.
In 1875, all from Interior Journal (Stanford, KY):
-Best and Conn have not been arrested. It is probable that Best will come to trial, in course of time, but it is announced that Conn has fled the country.
-An Indictment for murder, has been brought in by the Grand Jury at this term of the Court, against E. Best and Andy Conn, for the killing of Postmaster Hedger, at this place, some time since.
-Conn, who with Eben Best, shot and killed Hedger, also, came in and gave himself up for trial, and was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000.
-Circuit Court is still in session - not a great amount of business doing. The cases of the Commonwealth vs. E. Best and Andy Conn, charged with killing Post Master Hedger, were reached last week, and defendant's announced themselves ready for trial, the cases were continued at the request of the Commonwealth's Attorney. The Grand Jury have adjourned, they returned 78 indictments less than was returned at the last them. The Court will extend through next week, and perhaps longer.
Later that year, Andy Conn killed another man:
Inerior Journal (Stanford, KY)
We learn that Andy Conn shot John Arnold on Monday last, at Ed Todd's grocery, in Madison county. It is said that Conn shot Arnold because Arnold slapped an old man named Smith in the face. This is all we can learn in the case. It is said that this is the third man that Conn has shot. We have heard of no arrests, so far. It is a little strange that Conn can go on in his killing - from time to time - and yet escape punishment. The blood of his victims cry out from the ground, for his punishment.
1875 - The Trial for the killing of Arnold:
Mr. Andy Conn's trial for the killing of Arnold, on the 11 inst, was held at - Chapel, in Madison county, Saturday, Oct. 16th, resulted in his acquittal from the evidence of the Commonwealth's witnesses, (the defence introducing none) the following facts were adduced - That Conn and Arnold came to Ed Todds grocery together, - Arnold riding one of Conn's horses. After their arrival at the grocery, Mr. Smith, who was there, asked Arnold where his mother-in-law was at, and on Arnold telling him she was at home, Smith said he was going over to see her, that he was out of a house-keeper, and wanted one. It seems as if Arnold took this as an insult, and he and Smith had some words - Smith apologizing, and saying he meant no insult. - Smith left the grocery and went up to Todds house, about fifty yards from the grocery, and Arnold followed him there, and as the lady of the house opened the door for the latter to enter, Smith attempted to pass out but Arnold stopped him, said something to him and slapped him in the face. Smith came back to the grocery and asked for a pistol saying that Arnold had followed him to the house and slapped him in the face. No one giving him a pistol, he reached Andy Conns coat and jerked his pistol out of the scabbard. Several then stopped Smith and took the pistol from him, and gave it back to Conn, who put it back in his scabbard. Conn then told Smith to remain there in the grocery and he would go and get John (Arnold), and take him home. Conn then started from the grocery and met Arnold about ten or twenty steps from the grocery - coming from the house - as he met him said to him-"what is the matter with you and old man Smith; you ought to let that old man alone and get on your horse and let's go home," whereupon, Arnold said -"Damn you, do you take it up," and at the same time commenced drawing and did draw his pistol - Conn grasped at Arnold's pistol and succeeded in catching hold of it and turned the muzzle from the direction of his body - both parties still hold of the pistol and trying to wrench it from the others hands. Conn then with his other hand drew his own pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the abdomen. Arnold fell, and his pistol dropped at his feet. Conn helped remove him home. - These are the facts as detailed by the Commonwealth's witnesses and on which facts the Court found their verdict of "not guilty" and discharged the defendant. Mrs. Arnold, mother of the dec'd, said that Andy stayed with John and waited on him until he died, and then had him nicely buried at his (Conn's) own expense.
Andy Conn's reign of terror ended in 1876. First there was a false report of his death, but he was killed shortly thereafter:
A report was circulated last week, that Andy Conn was shot and killed by a man he once shot. The report was false, and arose from the fact that a man named Conn had shot a negro man who was trying to make him, (Conn), kiss a dog.

1876 Article: Kentucky Advocate (Danville, KY)
Last Wednesday night, 23d inst., about 8 o'clock, Andrew Conn, who resides in the upper portion of Garrard county, about seven miles from this place, while intoxicated, in company with one of his friends, went to the house of old man Arnold, an humble, quiet old man, (the father of the young man that Conn killed only a few months ago), and demanded entrance - with that threat that he came to kill the old man and his wife. On being refused Conn broke the door in, and, with pistol in hand, shot at the old man as soon as he entered. Arnold's wife and daughter rushed towards Conn to prevent him shooting the second time, but in that attempt Conn choked the old lady and struck her over the head several times with his pistol. During this struggle Conn shot at Arnold the second time, but both shots missed their aim. About this time Conn's friend had taken a rifle out of Arnold's hands, (who was trying to shoot Conn), and threw it out of the door, and went to the assistance of the two women. In the meantime, Arnold seized an old army musket, went out of a door opposite the one Conn entered, and hastening around to the other door, placed the muzzle of the gun against Conn's neck and fired. Conn fell to the floor and rolled out of the door, expiring without a struggle. Arnold then fled to the woods, bare-footed, remaining several hours before returning to his house, where he found Conn dead, his friend gone, and his wife suffering intensely from fright and the wounds she had received. She is quite feeble, and being between 60 and 70 years old, it is doubtful whether she will survive the terrible shock. Arnold, fearing Conn's friends would come and attack him, left immediately, and walked through the snow, waded the river and two creeks, and reached this place Thursday morning, tired, weary, hungry and sick, and gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff Myers. He fears an attack from Conn's friends, as he saw three of them Thursday morning going in the direction of his house. Mr. Arnold has the sympathy of this entire community, as what he did was purely in self defense. Conn has killed several men, and has lived in defiance of law in the neighborhood where he was killed all his life. In justice to the man who was with him, it is proper to say that he seemed trying to prevent any trouble, but nevertheless he went with him. Conn was said to be a very clever and honorable man when not drinking, but whisky seemed to instill in him the most revengeful and blood-thirsty spirit.
1876 from the Interior Journal (Stanford, KY):
Andy Arnold, who killed Andy Conn, in Garrard county, was tried last week and acquitted, as it was clearly proven to be a case of killing in self-defense. Arnold has removed to a place near Crab Orchard, in this county, as he fears to reside on his little place. We trust that this terrible tragedy is at an end, and that the people in our neighboring county, will have peace in the future.
Andy Conn's family felt there was another side of the story that needed to be told. They had this published in the Kentucky Advocate in April, 1876:
Communications.
The Arnold Conn Tragedy
We publish by request the following [?] of the tragedy in Garrard, made by the friends of the late Andrew Conn. We have already printed an account of the [?], and talked to a [?] by old man Arnold. It is fair that both sides should be heard. - Ed. Advocate
Much has been said and written about the late tragedy resulting in the death of Andrew J. Conn; and the various reports having been, in many instances, inaccurate. We thought that the cause of truth and justice demands that a correct version of the affair should be given.
In the early part of last Fall, Conn shot and killed John Arnold, in Madison county, this State. For this he manifested real sorrow and begged the father and mother of the deceased to forgive him his having deprived them of their son. The mother responded, "We forgive you as he forgave you on his dying bed, for he said, "you was bound to do what you did." Conn, after this, furnished the old people with meal, and they visited back and forth, and it was supposed that the whole matter had been duly reconciled. In the mean time, Conn was tried and acquitted on the evidence of the Commonwealth.
Nothing more was heard of the matter and until the night of the killing. On that day, Conn passed the home of the old people on his way to Berea to attend to a suit pending before one of the Justices of that precinct, and while there he was told by the Sheriff of Madison that an attempt was then being made to indict him in the Madison Circuit Court for the killing of John Arnold. He ascertained that Ed. Todd had been summoned before the Grand Jury. Upon learning this fact, he asked John Burnam and Pat McMahan to accompany him to Todd's house, to which they agreed, and all started, leaving Conn's brother and cousin, (who would have accompanied him home, or near there), behind. After they reached Todd's and had talked with him, Conn insisted upon McMahan to accompany him home, which, after much persuasion, he consented to do. On their road nothing was said about the Arnold affair, but Conn was telling jokes which occurred while he was in the army. After going some distance Conn turned off to one side of the road and started to a house unknown to McMahan at that time, and reaching the fence, dismounting and hitching their horses advanced to the door. When they reached the door Conn commenced to kick the snow from his feet, and some one from within asked, "Who's there?" Conn responded, "It's me." "Who is me?" was the next question, to which Conn responded, "Andy Conn." The old lady then said that "he must not come in; she was afraid he would kill them." Conn responded, "Why, I have been here before and have not killed you. I only want to come in and warm my feet and talk to the old man about going to Richmond Monday." The daughter, (Miss Arnold), then said: "Mother, let him come in. He will not hurt us." Conn then pushed the door open and walked in. As he stepped in the house the old lady was standing by the side of the door, with something in her hand. (the witness could not tell what), at which Conn grabbed and missed, pushing or slapping the old woman aside. She and the girl then grabbed Conn and threw him to the floor, the old gentleman springing to his rifle, but was caught by McMahan. While they were struggling over the gun, Conn called to McMahan to get his pistol, which was lying on the floor. McMahan saw the pistol upon the floor, but was unable to pick it up, on account of the struggle for the rifle, and he kicked it towards Conn who picked it up. McMahan and the old man, in their scuffle, got out of the house when the gun was taken from the old man and thrown down the hill. He ran after it and returned with it, when McMahan drew his pistol and compelled him to drop it, again picking the gun up and throwing it down the hill. The old man then ran around to the back of the house, McMahan returning around the back side also, but in the opposite way, and found Conn, the old lady and the girl struggling over an ax. He asked the old lady "to let go," and she responded, "if she did Conn would kill her." McMahan then remarked that "Conn would do no such thing; that he could have killed her long ago with his pistol if he had wanted to." (Conn had hold of the ax with his left hand, and held his pistol in the right.) She then gave up the ax, and McMahan threw it to one side, and started off with Conn to their horses, when the old lady again got the ax, and the girl the corn-knife. Conn was walking with McMahan, who had said, "Let's leave here," to which Conn consented to and was then doing. He was looking back over his shoulder, telling the old lady and the girl that he did not come there for a difficulty, but only to see the old man on business, when a gun was fired from behind them, powder-burning the neck of McMahan, and at the crack of which Conn jumped up as it struck. McMahan then ran, half-bent, until he reached his mule and mounting it rode around to the front part of the house, and asked for his hat, which, after some trouble he got. He asked where Conn was, and the old lady replied, "He shot me and ran off down the hill." The girl said, "No, stranger, he is lying around there dead."
We forgot to mention that when Conn first entered the house, he saw McCoy sitting by the fire and asked him what he was doing there, to which he made some common-place reply, and quickly walked out of the back door.
After the affair had ended as detailed, McMahan went after some neighbors, among whom was Conn's brother, and they all returned in about an hour after the killing. When they reached there they found the house deserted, the door taken off the hinges, but the hinges not broken, and Conn lying dead upon the ground near the spot where the shot had been fired. His pistol was near him, and also a musket with the barrel bent, and the stock broken off. Near by, also, lay the ax, corn-knife and a large stick of wood. The barrel and stock of the musket, the ax, and the stick of wood were covered with human brains, hair and blood, and the head of the deceased was beaten almost to a jelly, some large pieces of the skull lying near. There was also some cuts on his legs, from which no blood had flowed, having evidently been made after the crimson life tide had ceased to run.
The old gentleman and McCoy reached Crab Orchard the next morning, and the old man surrendered himself to the Deputy Sheriff. Mrs. Arnold and daughter were arrested near home. They were all subsequently brought to Lancaster, and a trial had, upon which the Commonwealth elicited substantially the foregoing testimony. The gun, ax, and corn-knife were exhibited on the trial. McMahan, the chief Commonwealth's witness, was an acquaintance of Conn's, but they were not intimate, and is said to be as truthful and honorable gentleman as lives in Madison county.
It was proven that the musket had been borrowed on the day Conn went to Berea, McCoy stating that he wanted to go rabbit hunting. Upon the testimony stated, on motion of Defendants, McCoy was released and placed upon the stand. His testimony was very unsatisfactory and contradictory. He stated, however, that in the evening of the day he borrowed the gun and loaded it with buck-shot that old Mrs. Arnold gave him, telling him to load the gun to go coon hunting with the next day. That Arnold's house was about seventy yards from the road, and that night about eight o'clock he said: "I think I hear somebody talking." He went to the door, saw men on the road, and afterwards returned. He stated that he saw the whole fight, and that he did not see the gun broken, or Conn struck in any way with the ax, corn-knife or stick of wood. He also stated that Conn, when he first came in the house, shot at old man Arnold, who was sitting on the bed, and that Conn was standing at the foot of the bed; that the old man was near hit. Defendants proved, by one witness, that Conn, when drunk, was a dangerous man. Upon this testimony, after argument of counsel, Defendants were discharged.
We have no comments to make upon the matter, but have simply given the facts to the reading public as they occurred in the trial. McMahan stated that there was but one shot fired in the fight, and that was the shot near his neck; and that Conn was not drunk.

Q: Beginner PLC: Configure Ethernet/IP Connection I am really new to PLCs programming, connecting, etc. I received a 1756-L72 with Logix5572 Processor and an EthernetIP card. My goal here is to connect it to my laptop along with another device (a Bar Code Reader). Both devices are connected to an unmanaged ethernet switch and one of the port to my laptop.
Now the problem is that all my Rockwell Softwares are on a VM. Therefore, I need to connect all those devices to the VM on my laptop and it does not seem to work.
My ethernet IP on the VM is 192.168.198.128 while my PLC is 192.168.0.205. I know i have to get the 3 first equal but I don't know how to change my PLC IP address. I tried following this website steps but it did not work.
I know it might not be clear, so I'm available to answer any questions you guys have.
Thanks,
luisarcher

A: This site is really for electrical / electronics design questions so your question isn't a great fit. However ...
On VMWare, and I presume most other VM software, there is an option on the VM settings to configure your network connection as NAT or bridged. You have two choices:
NAT

*

*Configure the IP address and subnet mask you want on the host machine.

*Set the VMWare to NAT. It will then pick up the host address.

Bridged

*

*Leave the host PC as is.

*Configure the IP address and subnet mask on the VM.

*Set the VMWare to Bridged.
