Mississauga, ON, Canada – April 18, 2013 - WinMagic Inc., the global innovator in full disk/drive encryption (FDE), along with the Ponemon Institute and industry leaders in Self Encrypting Drives (SEDs), LSI Corporation, Micron, PLEXTOR, Seagate, Samsung and Toshiba, today announced the results of a new study that compares the TCO of Software vs. Hardware-based FDE. In this study, it was found that hardware-based encryption solutions such as SEDs offer more than a 75 per cent cost savings when compared to software-based encryption solutions.
This study was commissioned by WinMagic and has received unprecedented industry support from leading SED manufacturers that have co-sponsored the work done by Ponemon. The purpose of the study was to learn how organizations are deploying software and hardware-based FDE solutions for desktop and laptop computers as well as determine the total cost and benefits for organizations. The Ponemon Institute surveyed 1,335 individuals in IT and IT security in four separate country samples: the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Germany (DE) and Japan (JP), representing a variety of industry sectors.
SEDs offer a significant savings as it relates to lost end-user productivity by reducing total idle time during encryption and excess time spent on traditional operation of the computer.
With SEDs there is no user or IT idle time during the encryption process as it happens instantly.
In the U.S. the per-user/per-year savings value of SEDs compared to software-based encryption is $300.
On average, when compared to software-based encryption, hardware based encryption with SEDs can offer a 75 percent total cost savings.
The TCO for all form of drive encryption is an astounding $300 to $600 per year while the average licensing cost for FDE solutions is less than $20 per year.
Regardless of the encryption method used, the benefits of encrypting data outweigh the total cost of ownership by a factor of 4 to 20x, depending on the country sample.
The information revealed in this study, which touted the benefits of hardware-based encryption, really is an exciting revelation. WinMagic, recognized by leading SED OEMs as the industry leader in FDE and contributing member of the TCG, is one of the few software vendors today that has the ability to support both software FDE and hardware-based FDE.
SEDs are Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) or Solid State Drives (SSDs) that encrypt the data stored at a hardware level, built directly into the drive electronics, without the assistance of software. This means encryption is always on, the encryption keys never leave the drive and authentication is done independently of the Operating System.
Many drives today follow Trusted Computing Group (TCG) standards when manufacturing SEDs designed to Opal. Opal is a TCG-developed standard for building and managing SEDs. Opal is a common set of criteria that SED drive manufacturers follow to ensure compatibility. Many of the co-sponsors of this study are members of the TCG and support Opal standards in their SEDs.
A full Webinar walking through the results of this study will take place on April 30th, 2013. This Webinar will feature Larry Ponemon reviewing the results along with representatives from WinMagic, LSI, Micron, PLEXTOR, Samsung, Seagate and Toshiba in attendance.

This page contains the list of deprecations and important or breaking changes for Vault 0.9.2 compared to 0.9.1. Please read it carefully.
This upgrade guide is typically reserved for breaking changes, however it is worth calling out that the CLI interface to Vault has been completely revamped while maintaining backwards compatibility. This could lead to potential confusion while browsing the latest version of the Vault documentation on vaultproject.io.
All previous CLI commands should continue to work and are backwards compatible in almost all cases.
Documentation for previous versions of Vault can be accessed using the GitHub interface by browsing tags (eg 0.9.1 website tree) or by building the Vault website locally.
The replication_dr_secondary bool returned by sys/health could be misleading since it would be false both when a cluster was not a DR secondary but also when the node is a standby in the cluster and has not yet fully received state from the active node. This could cause health checks on LBs to decide that the node was acceptable for traffic even though DR secondaries cannot handle normal Vault traffic. (In other words, the bool could only convey "yes" or "no" but not "not sure yet".) This has been replaced by replication_dr_mode and replication_perf_mode which are string values that convey the current state of the node; a value of disabled indicates that replication is disabled or the state is still being discovered. As a result, an LB check can positively verify that the node is both not disabled and is not a DR secondary, and avoid sending traffic to it if either is true.
For ou and organization in role definitions in the PKI secret backend, input can now be a comma-separated string or an array of strings. Reading a role will now return arrays for these parameters.
The plugin API has been updated to utilize golang's context.Context package. Many function signatures now accept a context object as the first parameter. Existing plugins will need to pull in the latest Vault code and update their function signatures to begin using context and the new gRPC transport.

HMSA target of federal antitrust investigation | The Honolulu Advertiser | Hawaii's Newspaper
Posted on: Sunday, July 22, 2001
HMSA target of federal antitrust investigation
The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the Hawai'i Medical Service Association, the largest medical services provider in the state, in connection with possible antitrust violations.
The investigation, under way since late last year, has involved a range of questions related to the firm's marketing and competitive practices, according to people questioned by Justice officials.
An HMSA spokesman said Justice officials contacted the insurer in late February and asked to review copies of a variety of documents related to employer contracts, financial statements and other records.
"We have provided them all the information they have asked for, but we have not heard from them since then," said Cliff Cisco, HMSA's senior vice president for community relations.
Cisco said the Justice Department reviews competition in markets across the country, and HMSA believes the department's interest in Hawai'i is no different. He said HMSA is mindful of its position in the marketplace and has been careful about how it competes.
"At this point we are just waiting to see what happens," Cisco said. "We don't think there is any reason for concern among our members or the community about this."
A person in the Justice Department familiar with the inquiry said no determination has been made about whether to file a formal complaint.
The Justice Department launches a hundred or more investigations into possible antitrust violations each year, but only a fraction result in a complaint being filed, according to the department. Antitrust investigations that do not involve the merger of large corporations are a lower priority for federal investigators and typically take longer to complete.
State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Metcalf declined to comment, saying his department's policy prohibits him from talking about any possible investigation of a health insurer.
Founded in 1938 as a nonprofit, member-owned benefit society, HMSA has long been the giant of Hawai'i's health care industry. It has 630,000 members and more than $1 billion in annual operating revenue. By some estimates, HMSA controls more than two-thirds of Hawai'i's medical insurance market.
The federal inquiry marks the second time in two years that HMSA has been investigated.
Last year, the state launched an investigation of HMSA's business practices under the state Patients' Bill of Rights law that was passed in 1999. Hawai'i Coalition for Health, an advocacy group that is made up of doctors and consumers, filed a complaint that accused the medical insurer of short-changing doctors on reimbursement rates and endangering patient care and asked the insurance commissioner to revoke or suspend HMSA's license.
The coalition accused HMSA of exercising monopoly power "to unreasonably restrain physicians' ability to provide quality care for their patients or to advocate on behalf of their patients."
HMSA denied the charges and after 14 weeks of hearings, a settlement was reached clearing the company of the charges and ending the investigation. Among other things, HMSA agreed to increase efforts to educate physicians about dispute resolution procedures.
Federal investigators began looking into Hawai'i's health care market in November, interviewing several doctors and key insurance executives in Honolulu about Hawai'i's competitive landscape, according to some of the people questioned who asked not to be identified because of the confidentiality of the interviews.
Two people queried by Justice officials said questions centered on HMSA's practices in the market.
One of those questioned said Justice officials asked about HMSA's role on the seven-member state Prepaid Health Care Advisory Council.
The council, established under the 1974 Prepaid Healthcare Act, reviews and makes recommendations on health insurance plans seeking entry into Hawai'i's health care market. The director of the state Labor Department appoints representatives from HMSA and Kaiser, along with other professionals, to the board.
One of the people questioned said investigators asked about HMSA's policy of prohibiting employer groups from offering certain competing plans.
Cisco acknowledged that HMSA restricts employers who offer HMSA plans from offering similar fee-for-service plans, but he said it is a standard industry practice used by insurers to manage risk.
The Justice Department's investigation comes as many of HMSA's fee-for-service competitors are leaving the Islands, citing an increasingly difficult market with rising health care costs and competitive pressures that lower premiums to unprofitable levels.
In the 1980s, nearly a dozen insurance plans competed for business in Hawai'i. Today, that number has dwindled to a handful.
Kapi'olani HealthHawai'i transferred its 27,000-member plan to HMSA in 1999. Queen's Health Plans is selling off all of its health insurance plans, citing millions of dollars in losses. University Health Alliance, unable to meet minimum state financial requirements, is operating under a court-appointed rehabilitator.
HMSA's nearest competitor in size, Kaiser Health Plan, has a third of the number of HMSA members. However, Kaiser is not a fee-for-service provider but a health maintenance organization.
HMSA officials said they are aware their market position brings a certain amount of scrutiny.
But HMSA, a Blue Cross/Blue Shield provider, has been facing its own market challenges over the past three years as increased consumer use of its plans and rising drug costs have cut into its operating profits. The insurer paid out $97 million more in claims last year than it did in 1999, according to its financial report. It also reported an operating loss in 2000 of $49 million on revenues of $1.2 billion.
Many HMSA members have seen double-digit increases in their monthly premiums to pay for the increased costs.
The average small business now pays nearly $600 a month for a worker's family on HMSA's preferred-provider plan. Large companies and organizations negotiate their plans separately, but HMSA has said they are seeing similar increases.
Insurance commissioner Metcalf said that, in general, he would like to see more competition in Hawai'i's medical insurance market but that it's difficult for this to occur when one or two larger companies dominate the market.
Metcalf noted that Hawai'i faces several challenges: a relatively small market, high costs, and HMSA and Kaiser dominating the fee-for-service and HMO businesses. Because HMSA and Kaiser are nonprofit entities, they also get certain breaks on state taxes, making it difficult for large Mainland insurers to see market opportunities in Hawai'i.
"It's been the policy of the (insurance) division that we welcome competition, but we don't have the tools to mandate that competition," Metcalf said. "But there are still real opportunities for small niche players if they are well capitalized."

Q: Is a convex function whose second order derivative is zero a.e. affine? Consider a continuously differentiable convex function $\Phi: \mathbb{R}^k \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$.
Alexandrov's Theorem guarantees that $\Phi$ is twice differentiable almost everywhere. Denote $\mathcal{T} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^k$ the set where $\Phi$ is twice differentiable.
Is it possible to show that if $\mathsf{H} \Phi \equiv 0$ on $\mathcal{T}$, then $\mathsf{D} \Phi =0$ everywhere?
I am aware that a function can be continuous (by analogy to my case $\mathsf{D} \Phi$), differentiable almost everywhere, and yet not be constant (the Cantor function for example). However, since I am interested in convex functions, I was hoping that the story might be different.

A: Here's an example inspired by your question.
Let $f(x) = \int_0^x C(t) \mathrm d t$ for $x\in[0,1]$, where $C$ denotes the Cantor function.
Then $f$ is convex (since its derivative $f'=C$ is defined everywhere and non-decreasing), and $f''=0$ almost everywhere. But $f$ is not linear.

You give little, when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself, that you truly give.
but things that you keep and guard for fear that you may need them tomorrow.
There are those who give with pain and that pain is their baptism.
nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue.
They give as the flowers spread their fragrance into space.


Meet beautiful Leyla, she's 10 days new here and she was such a little angel. I felt like I wanted to give a gold star for being so good. She slept all the way through the session even gave us a few smiles. Was nice to see you back in the studio Charly and Andy.


Stretching can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, range of motion in your joints. Better flexibility may improve your performance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move through their full range of motion and enabling your muscles to work most effectively.

L'audace d'un champion
In this new documentary, the central character is no longer a former rider but a current champion, Johann Zarco. Originally from Antibes, he is at 27 years old double Moto2 world champion (2015 and 2016) and runs this season at the highest world level, the MotoGP. Today, France can be proud to have an exceptional champion like him. He has achieved what I thought was the most difficult thing to do: winning brilliantly by repeating his class. That's when Johann showed that he could take it without losing any of his desire. That's the mark of champions. To reach this level, the passion for racing and the gift of a single man are no longer enough. Dealing with stress, training organization and media demand take too much energy. Thanks to Laurent Fellon, his mentor since he was 13 years old, he has been able to build his career around the values of loyalty, trust and a taste for work. The experience of this winning duo serves to shed light on what may have been missing for pilots of my time to achieve complete fulfillment in this sport. Other key people will be involved to complete the story of this young driver. I am thinking of Bruno Gillet, a journalist who experienced the end of the Continental Circus and the arrival of MotoGP, Hervé Poncharal, manager of Yamaha Tech 3, Guy Coulon, Johann's technical manager in the team, and Laurent Fellon. All of them dreamed of following the paths of the "French generation", from the Sarron, Pons, Rougerie, Fernandez, Baldé, Bertin and even myself. Today it is Johann who makes dream, from the kids of his riding school, the ZF Racing school (Zarco-Fellon) to the seniors of which I am a part. I am still learning about racing and looking back at my past with his experience. He makes me dream again like the legends of the Continental did in their time. He is the current figure of a passion that continues through the generations, with the desire to pass it on. Count on my images to share it with you.
Director - Bernard Fau
A former world speed championship rider in the days of the Continental Circus, Bernard Fau has never been able to leave the circuits. And while he hasn't completely hung up his boots, he now more often wears the costume of producer/director. The motorcycle is still his reason for living. That's why he still travels the world in the classic championship (ICGP) and motorcycles are at the heart of his films.

With a heavy heart I have decided to sell my loved Land Rover 1969 200TDI Series IIa.
I've owned this vehicle for 2 years, I loved the idea of a simple tax-exempt vehicle and have done a lot of work to it in my ownership. Unfortunately, the family found it way too agricultural for daily use also my 17 year old son is buying a car & I need the room on the drive, so the Land Rover has to go.
The engine starts nicely & runs well it does have slight smoke on start up but then clears. There are no nasty rattles or bangs & there are no significant oil leaks very small amount underneath does drip slightly like they all do. She has a series 3 gearbox so no synchromesh in second gear, had gearbox input/output shaft oil seals replaced as when I first had her she used to leave an oil trail down the road, that has been fixed. All the gears are there & high/low ratio selects properly. The clutch is fine & the car has never jumped out of gear. The car has an MOT until January 1st 2016. The V5 (on which the car shows as an historic vehicle) is in my name, at my address & the car is currently on the road. The mileage shows 17390, for what that's worth.
There has been welding done on the chassis as you would expect and in the future I am sure it will need patching again but at the moment all appears solid, the foot wells are very tidy with chequer plate floors, the door top are not brilliant but windows work etc. The "elephant hide" type seats are in very good condition, in the middle where the third seat would normally go the battery sits below. I also have spare hard top that can come with the land rover. The brake shoes have been replaced all round.
The panels are very straight but the land rover would benefit from a re-paint. I have a virtually full tin (5Ltr) of Bronze Green paint for body work, Etch Primer, Limestone for the wheels. There are brush marks visible in the paint, particularly on the bonnet. The best I can say is that it needs re-painting but the paint above mentioned will be included in the sale and is plenty to re-spray her about five times over.
The rear tow bar and rear electrics have been re-wired in the last twelve months.
Two jobs that would benefit of being done soon in my opinion are replace the Cam-belt and place a new thermostat in. These are two jobs that I would do if I was keeping her for another couple of years.
The canvas roof is a heavy material canvass type I have glued a water proof material to the inside which has made it 97 percent water proof but there are a couple drips getting into the rear but nothing to worry about. The canvass has windows in the side and rear.
The battery is my old spare out of our old land rover freelander. It turns the motor over briskly but I couldn't answer for it's ability to hold that charge. I have had the alternator reconditioned professionally in the last fourteen months.
I like the style & look of the large tyres reasonable amount of tread left on them. I have also had two of the wheels sand blasted and then sprayed them myself in the Limestone the other two wheels could do with having this done too.
It's a half-century old it comes from a time before: ABS, child seats, air bags, cat converters, radial tyres or power steering. The suspension is crude, the drum brakes are adequate I have had all the hub seals done also on all the wheels and cooper brake piping all round. The 200TDI does make the car go very well probably too well for the current brakes if I was keeping her long term would probably look to upgrade the brakes. I haven't done more than a few dozens of miles in this in the last two years & wouldn't attempt a journey of any length without a comprehensive tool kit & a selection of spare parts. My advice is if you're going to be surprised by one or more of: the comedy wipers, uncomfortable ride, ludicrous "heater" (but does work!), then this probably isn't for you.
She is great fun to drive though especially with the roof off. I would prefer anyone that seriously wants to buy it to view it first before bidding & see the vehicle, or at the very least get in touch. I'll cancel bids from any one with fewer than 10 feedback entries. I'm selling this in an auction with absolutely no warranty given, implied or in any other way expressed, so be sure you know what you're getting into. I expect payment in cash on collection & there will be no haggling after the hammer falls. I may choose to end early as it is advertised elsewhere. Lastly no overseas bidders I will not ship/post overseas. Happy bidding.


This parable involves a lotus flower that grows in the Far East in some of the murkiest and slimiest swamps. There are about 80 varieties of lotus flowers that grow in many tropical countries. The lily pad is a type of lotus flower. The particular lotus flower that grows in the Far East is quite large and is so unusual because of its strong fragrant smell. It's fragrance is nearly as strong as perfume out of a bottle. This lotus flower grows in a very stagnant and stinking swamp and grows floating on top of the murky water. It throws its roots down into the water and as it continues to grow its roots reach the stinking mud below. In this parable the stinking and slimy mud speaks to the lotus flower and says" I am sick of just being mud and I would like to become a lotus flower. How can I become a lotus flower"? The lotus flower speaks" You cannot become a lotus flower because you are of a different kingdom. Mud is mud and flowers are flowers and mud cannot become a lotus flower". "But I want to become a lotus flower"! The lotus flower says" There is only one way you may become a lotus flower. If you will surrender to me, I will send my roots down into you and my roots will draw you up into myself. I will convert you, who are mud, into myself. You will become a lotus flower in me". The mud asks a question, "Since I smell so bad, how can I ever become a part of you since you smell so good? I will surely cause you to smell just like me." The lotus flower responds, "That is the miracle of conversion. I can take the minerals that are you and convert them into the perfume that is me. I can take this polluted and filthy water and convert it into perfume. That is how conversion works. The stink remains and the real you is converted into what I am. Then you are in me and I am in you. We become one. In that way you really do become a lotus flower. However I can't convert you into me if you don't totally surrender yourself to me". The application is this: Yeshua is the Lotus Flower from heaven. He has come down into this stinking and polluted swamp. We are only mud. Mud is wet dust. If we totally surrender to Him he will send His roots down into us and begin the process of converting us into Him. No matter how stinking and rotten we are; true conversion will convert us into Him. Then we will be in Him and He will be in us. The two will have become one.•°´'`°•.¸¸♥ ...As dearly loved children; live a life of LOVE, just as Yeshua loved us and gave Himself up for us as a "Fragrant Offering" and Sacrifice to God.

Boost for propeller development
Information about science based innovations, solid facts to support decision-making, performance and business development for VTT's partners, customers and anyone interested in high technology and its applications.
A magazine on science, technology and business
Antti A. Lagus | 5.6.2014
Wärtsilä, supplier of versatile maritime solutions, has opened a new propulsion test centre in Tuusula. Intended for the validation of Wärtsilä's product range of azimuth propulsion units, the centre was developed in collaboration with VTT and industrial companies. VTT provides the resources for operating the test centre, which will also apply a new kind of R&D approach: joint innovation.
Propellers, the part of the propulsion system that provides the thrust to move a ship forwards through the water, and occasionally backwards, are generally of three types: fixed pitch propellers, controllable pitch propellers, or azimuth thrusters.
Wärtsilä, in collaboration with VTT, has been developing a new product range of azimuth thrusters that will enhance vessel manoeuvrability. Azimuth thrusters are used primarily in tugboats, service vessels and ice-going vessels such as icebreakers.
The propulsions systems are designed at the Wärtsilä facility in the Netherlands, with production plants located in Italy and China. For Elias Boletis, Director of Propulsion Programs and Technologies at Wärtsilä, R&D means three things: product development, technology development, and research of a more general nature with other parties. Wärtsilä collaborates with VTT in all three.
The testing equipment introduced at Tuusula last November is a new high point in more than 18 years of cooperation between Wärtsilä and VTT. One of the many areas explored by the partners during that time is the vibration and noise control of ship engines and diesel generator systems. Cooperation on the propulsion unit began in 2010. The preparation of next-generation products revealed the necessity for a good testing environment.
Ecosystem under construction
– We are trying to build a certain kind of ecosystem around this test centre, and to bring in as many participants as possible to test their equipment and components. We will also attempt to combine the results with those of our suppliers and customers. This is a model where ideas are being thrown around and upgraded, says Boletis.
Boletis thinks the working atmosphere with VTT has been very good. VTT has also been able to deliver the assignments on schedule, and their quality has been excellent.
The decision was taken to build the test centre in Finland because of VTT's excellent experience in experimental research and building and operating testing environments. VTT also has the necessary measuring devices and measurement experience.
This is a programme comprising several projects connected with propellers or applications of various sizes, some of which are already on the market. VTT has approximately 20 people participating in the programme.
The testing equipment was installed in an industrial hall leased from the Finnish Defence Forces. Although the hall had previously served as maintenance depot for armoured vehicles, its floor needed further reinforcement for testing equipment that weighs approximately one hundred tons.
Strict validation process
The test centre replicates the actual operating environment by connecting the propeller to a generator and frequency converter, as it would be on a ship. Because the propeller is out of the water, cooling is provided through showering, and the forces on the propeller simulated by means of hydraulic cylinders.
– The testing equipment in Tuusula is used for product validation. Each new propulsion system undergoes a strict validation process prior to entering the market. Here the testing equipment will be a great help, says Boletis.
– Even after operating for only three months, we have already established reference data for new tests. Azimuth thrusters are part of our current product range. The tests also covered new environmentally friendly lubricants already in use in the United States and elsewhere. We first wanted to find out how these lubricants affect our azimuth propulsion units. This took us about a month and a half, but now we are ready to build the procedures that will help us and our end customers, says Boletis.
The results will help Wärtsilä modify its operating methods and make system adjustments that ensure the lubricants function correctly. According to Boletis, the questions being asked are not black and white, but the starting point was to establish new ways of operation.
Joint innovation around the same table
A new operating method is being tested in collaboration with partners: joint innovation. The programme also involves universities and suppliers, including Tampere University of Technology, Luleå University of Technology, Dresden University of Technology, and Munich University of Technology. Companies involved include SKF and ATA Gears. The aim here is to use the material accrued as a basis for academic dissertations, among others.
Jouko Suokas, VTT's Executive Vice President, Smart Industry and Energy Systems, explains that projects have traditionally been run as Tekes- or EU-financed projects which then advance to product development. Here the participants sit around the same table and, instead of one person saying what to do, each contributes personal ideas in joint innovation.
Suokas considers the cooperation with Wärtsilä an excellent example of how to develop strategic partnerships, engaging significantly more brain capacity in exploring the problems. The Wärtsilä environment provides an excellent experimental R&D opportunity for this totally novel way of operating.
Targeting more efficient and lighter equipment
Pekka Koskinen, Technology Manager at VTT, adds that VTT is operating in accordance with its mission in aiming to create industrial jobs in Finland. The joint development ecosystem is the way of the future for producing the products of the future. Where the previous approach was from various angles, these perspectives are now combined into a single entity.
– We are aiming to build more efficient and lighter equipment that consumes less energy, has fewer energy losses and uses environmentally friendly lubricants, says Koskinen.
The testing equipment will help us understand the forces exerted by water and ice on propulsion devices. The aim of the programme is to produce more compact products and to enhance the reliability of equipment. This also has significant implications for equipment maintenance, which is why Wärtsilä is investing in real-time monitoring of vessels through its servicing centres.

Oswaldo Henríquez (Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia; 10 de marzo de 1989) es un futbolista colombiano que juega como defensa central  y actualmente milita en el Águilas Doradas de la Categoría Primera A de Colombia.

Trayectoria

Millonarios F.C.
Jugó en varios equipos aficionados de Santa Marta hasta que llegó la oportunidad de venir a probarse en las divisiones menores de Millonarios en el año 2007. Jugó en la categoría juvenil todo ese año y luego en la Primera C, siendo campeón de esta categoría en el 2008.

Aunque debutó con el equipo profesional en noviembre de 2007 en un partido de Liga contra La Equidad en el estadio de Techo, y aunque también jugó partidos de la Copa Colombia 2008, apenas es confirmado en 2009 en el equipo profesional haciendo pareja con el mundialista ecuatoriano Iván Hurtado en el inicio de la temporada. Henríquez anota su primer gol como profesional en 2 de octubre de 2009 en un partido que Millonarios empató 2-2 contra Boyacá Chicó en Tunja.

Con la llegada del defensor central venezolano Alejandro Cichero, el jugador samario es relegado a la suplencia sin ningún motivo justificado, sin embargo sigue alternando con el equipo titular en cada partido de la Liga Colombiana.

Querétaro F.C.
Después de quedar campeón del finalización 2012, es cedido por un año al Querétaro de México. En el primer semestre del año 2013 termina el campeonato como el titular y siendo considerado de los mejores jugadores del club en el torneo clausura.

Millonarios F.C.
En el inicio del año 2014 regresa a Millonarios.

Después de dos años con el club embajador se despediría tras finalizar su contrato, terminaría con 6 goles en 178 partidos disputados.

Sport Recife
El 27 de diciembre de 2015 el Newell's demostró su interés por el jugador pero al no llegar a un acuerdo entre las partes una semana más tarde el 8 de enero llega y hace su primera práctica con el club del nordeste brasileño, firmaría por tres años con el conjunto brasilero.
El 19 de marzo de 2016 marca su primer gol con el club en la goleada como visitantes 4 a 0 sobre América-PE por el Campeonato Pernambucano. El 28 de junio se coronan campeones del Campeonato Pernambucano derrotando a Salgueiro 2 a 1 en el global logrando así su primer título internacional.

Vasco de Gama
El 15 de julio de 2018 es presentado como nuevo jugador del Vasco da Gama del Campeonato Brasileño de Serie A. El 10 de noviembre marca su primer gol con el club en la victoria 3 por 1 como visitantes ante Centro Sportivo Alagoano.

Selección Colombia

Estuvo en varios llamados con la Selección Sub 20 en el año 2008 en los miniciclos de preparación para el Campeonato Sudamericano Sub-20 de Venezuela 2009, aunque al final no fue convocado en el equipo que disputó el torneo.

The F8U Crusader was the first carrier-based jet fighter to exceed 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Its variable-incidence wing, which could elevate up to seven degrees in the front while rotating about its rear spar, helped improve the aircraft's flight characteristics at slow speeds and increase pilot visibility for takeoff and landing. Its folding outer wing tips facilitated storage on aircraft carriers. Improvements were made to the engines and radar, and ventral fins were added under the tail for increased directional stability. Of the 1,261 Crusaders built, 73 were modified as RF-8G reconnaissance models.
This RF-8G was the last operational Navy F-8. Delivered as an F8U-1P, it spent its first seven years with the Marine Corps and flew 400 combat hours in Southeast Asia. Its career total of 7,475.2 flight hours is the most of any U.S. Navy Crusader built.
The F-8 (F8U) Crusader was designed in 1953 in response to a request from the Navy for a new supersonic day fighter. The XF8U-l (Bu. No. 138899) first flew on March 25, 1955 and 5 ½ years later made its last landing and was presented to the Navy on October 25, 1960. During the Crusader's first five years it achieved an outstanding record as a carrier-based jet fighter. It was responsible for the Navy and Chance Vought being jointly awarded the Collier Trophy for the conception, design and development of the first carrier-based aircraft to exceed 1,000 mph. It set the first national speed record of more than 1,000 mph to win for the U.S. Navy its first Thompson Trophy. And it was the first aircraft to fly across the United States faster than the speed of sound.
Several innovations were incorporated into the design of the F8U. The most unusual was a variable-incidence wing in which the wing was capable of being rotated about its rear spar to raise the entire wing, thereby increasing visibility for the pilot. In addition, the entire leading edge and the ailerons could be lowered to increase the effective camber of the wing and consequently reduce approach and landing speed. The outer wing tips were made foldable for carrier storage.
Titanium was used as much as possible in the F8U construction. All control surfaces had fully-duplicated hydraulic power systems. With wing and fuselage tanks, the aircraft had an endurance of about three hours. Crusaders were fitted for cannons, rockets, and missiles. As construction of the aircraft progressed, improvements were made to the engines, fire control, radar equipment, and ventral fins were added under the tail section for increased directional stability. The F8U became the F-8 in 1962 with the change in designators for all Navy aircraft. Five variants were produced. Simultaneously with the E-8A model, a reconnaissance version the RF-8A was developed. In 1964 a conversion program for these later aircraft was initiated to include stronger wings and fuselage, wing pylons, and ventral fins, as well as new electrical and navigation systems. After modification, the RF-8As continued their service as RF-8Gs.
The F-8 Crusader has a wing span of 35'2" and a length of 54' 6". It has a J57-P-420 turbojet engine with afterburner. With a bomb load of 4,000 lb., the maximum overload total weight is 34,000 lb. The Crusader has a maximum speed of 1100 knots at 40,000 feet and a combat range of 700 miles. A total of 1,261 F-8s were built.
RF-8G Bu. No. 146860, Manufacturer No. 103, Squadron No.. AF7Ol was transferred from VFP-206 to the National Air and Space Museum on March 30, 1987. This Crusader was the last operational F-8 in the U.S. Navy. It was built as an F8U-lP by Ling Temco Vought and was delivered as the 66th F8U-lP on 30 September 1959.
In the course of its lifetime this aircraft has had 11 overhauls, 260 operational service months, 21.7 operational years and a total of 28 years of Naval Service. The aircraft spent its first seven years with the Marine Corps, Squadron VMCJ-3, at MCAS El Toro, California, and with VMCJ-l in southeast Asia where it saw 200 combat flight hours. Its record of 7,475 total flight hours is more than that of any other F-8 in history. During its career it made a total of 8,896 landings, 689 carrier arrestments, and 714 catapult shots. Its last carrier landing was in October 1986 and it made its last flight on March 30, 1987, when it was delivered to NASM at the Dulles facility as part of "Project Update 1972."

Legendary Formula One driver Michael Schumacher's family have released an unseen footage of the 49-year-old shot just two months before his skiing accident. The chilling footage was released by the family this week as the racing legend continues to recover after the life-changing incident. The driver, born in Hurth, Germany, still needs round the clock nursing care as he battles to overcome life-threatening injuries he sustained in the accident on December 29, 2013. In the interview footage posted on the Formula One legend's website by his family, the seven-time world champion explained the secret behind his historic records was that he has found new ways to improve.

"Records is one thing, doubts, I think it is very important to not be over confident - to be skeptical, to look for improvements," the former world champion said in the clip that was filmed on October 30, 2013.
"Yeah, I always felt I am not good enough, I have to work, and that was one part of the recipe that made me what I became.
"Twenty-one years no championship with Ferrari, four years myself failing, then finally, in a great race, to achieve it, win the world championship.
"The most respected guy in all those years was definitely Mika Hakkinen," he added.
"Great fights, but stable private relationship."
Earlier this year it was reported that Schumacher's wife Corinna had invested heavily in transforming parts of their mansion home in Gland into a medical centre.
Mick Schumacher, the European F3 champion, will follow in his father's footsteps by making up half of Team Germany's line-up at next year's Nations Cup titles alongside Sebastian Vettel.
Michael Schumacher and Vettel combined to win the title for six successive years.
Schumacher Jr has enjoyed a memorable year, claiming eight victories, 14 podiums and the F3 European title.

Zemstvo
Zemstvo sentence example
Further, Lithuania was specially excluded from the Zemstvo system which was introduced into Russia in 1864.
The reformers of the previous reign had sought to make the new local administration (zemstvo) a system of genuine rural self-government and a basis for future parliamentary institutions; these later conservatives transformed it into a mere branch of the ordinary state administration, and took precautions against its ever assuming a political character.
In the zemstvo congress of November the " Cadets " protested against the " grant " of a constitution already elaborated, and demanded the convocation of a Constituent Assembly.
When the first Russian revolutionary movement developed in 1905 he took part in the meetings of Zemstvo representatives, but did not join the Cadets, whom he considered to be too doctrinaire and cosmopolitan.
As a big landowner of the Simbirsk province he took an active part in the Zemstvo life and was elected member of the executive board of the Simbirsk Zemstvo and marshal of the nobility of the Simbirsk province.

Nicholas II
Nicholas II (1868-1918), the czar of Russia from 1894 to 1917, was a staunch defender of autocracy. A weak monarch, he was forced to abdicate, thus ending more than 300 years of Romanov rule in Russia.

U.K. imams mobilize to counter COVID-19 vaccine disinformation
FitManitoba - January 22, 2021 at 10:26
LONDON, U.K. — Imams across Britain are helping a drive to dispel coronavirus disinformation, using Friday sermons and their influential standing within Muslim communities to argue that COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
Qari Asim, chairman of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) which is leading a campaign to reassure its faithful, is among those publically advocating that the inoculations are compatible with Islamic practices.
"We are confident that the two vaccines that have been used in the U.K., Oxford AstraZeneca and Pfizer, are permissible from an Islamic perspective," he told AFP.
"The hesitancy, the anxiety (and) concern is driven by misinformation, conspiracy theories, fake news and rumours."
Britain, the hardest-hit country in Europe by the virus after registering nearly 95,000 deaths, is relying on its biggest-ever vaccination effort to end repeated cycles of lockdowns and restrictions.
However, a report from the scientific committee advising the government showed stronger mistrust of vaccines among ethnic minorities than the rest of the U.K. population.
It highlighted that 72 per cent of Black survey respondents were unlikely or very unlikely to get the vaccine.
Among those from Pakistani or Bangladeshi backgrounds, the figure was 42 percent.
Imams are pushing back in particular at fears among Britain's estimated 2.8 million Muslims that the vaccines contain pork gelatin or alcohol, which are banned by Islam.
Asim said it was "legitimate" to question whether things were permissible under Islam but without paying attention to unfounded claims.
Among the falsehoods spread about the vaccine are that it can modify DNA, make recipients sterile, or even involve inserting a microchip in the body.
Messages in Urdu
Misinformation around the coronavirus is all the more dangerous given several studies have shown that it can impact minorities disproportionately.
"These are precisely the communities we should be trying to target," said Nighat Arif, a general practitioner based in Chesham, near London.
When she received her vaccination, she posted a video in Urdu on social media aimed at the language's speakers living in Britain.
"I'm hoping that because they see someone who looks like them, who is a practising Muslim, wears a hijab, someone who is Asian who speaks their language, that's more relatable than something that's coming through from the government," she added.
Arif is still surprised by the refusal of certain patients to be inoculated, noting they will often get vaccinated to undertake the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabi, or to visit Pakistan or India.
She blames conspiracy theories spread online, which contribute to the science behind the process "being lost".
Samara Afzal, 34, a general practitioner at Netherton Health Centre in Dudley in the West Midlands, also shared a video in Urdu with her 35,000 Twitter followers to "debunk some myths".
She said some people had asked her to send the video directly to them so they could forward it to sceptical loved ones via social tools like WhatsApp.
At her medical centre, Afzal estimates that around 40 to 50 people out of 1,000 have refused to be vaccinated when she had expected only one or two.
"It's still a fair amount of people that are saying no and obviously we haven't even addressed the younger ones, so this is just the elderly," she added.
"So I'm sure when it comes down to the younger ones, there'll be a lot more that say no."
Vaccinated at mosque
Around five million people, almost entirely the elderly and caregivers, have already received a first dose of the vaccine in the U.K., the highest rate in Europe.
In a sign of officials' concerns about minority take-up of the jabs, the state-run health service is mobilising "influencers" in communities to convince the sceptics.
"There's a big piece of work happening where we're translating information, we're making sure the look and feel of it reaches the populations that matter," Harpreet Sood, a doctor who is leading the anti-disinformation campaign, told the BBC.
A vaccination centre has even been set up in a mosque in Birmingham, Britain's second biggest city, which has a large south Asian population.
Imam Nuru Mohammed said the move sent "a big 'no to fake news'" message to his 2,000-strong religious community and beyond.
He shared the video of his own vaccination on social media.
For Asim, the MINAB chairman whose mosque is in Leeds, in northern England, their efforts also help counter far-right claims.
"If there was a lower take-up of vaccines in Muslim communities in comparison to all other communities, then potentially, it could fan the flames of Islamophobia," he noted.
"And in this pandemic, no one should be scapegoated."

Gears of War 4 o Gears 4 és un videojoc d'acció i shooter en tercera persona desenvolupat per The Coalition i distribuït per Microsoft llançat l'11 octubre 2016 per Xbox One i Windows 10.

És el primer videojoc de la saga del qual és propietari Microsoft i el primer per la seva consola de vuitena generació. El 15 de juny de 2015, en la conferència de l'E3, es va mostrar un "gameplay" de la mateixa sota el títol Gears 4, sent aquest un diminutiu, ja que en la pàgina web oficial figurava com Gears of War 4.

Seqüela de Gears of War 3, afegeix nous personatges, enemics, armament i mecàniques de joc.

Joc
Gears of War 4 tindrà lloc 25 anys després dels esdeveniments ocorreguts en Gears of War 3, i segons Rod Fergusson, director de The Coalition, el propòsit de l'estudi és tornar la saga als seus orígens, amb una ambientació i una història més fosca i misteriosa, tal com va tenir el primer Gears of War. El nou enemic serà "El Eixam" qui es desconeix d'on ve. El joc estarà protagonitzat per 3 principals protagonistes:

JD Fenix: Fill de Marcus Fenix, protagonista principal de la trilogia original de Gears of War de Xbox 360. Es va escapar de casa per unir-se a la CGO, per a després d'un temps després desertar per un incident que es donarà a conèixer durant els esdeveniments de aquest quart lliuramentMarcus Fenix: Ex soldat de CGO torna ala acció per això s'uneix a l'equip de JD Fenix, només que aquesta vegada torna mes veterà i una mica rude com els anteriors lliuraments però ja força vell.

Delmont "Del" Walker: És un gran amic de JD. Es van conèixer en l'internat i es va allistar a la CGO al seu costat. Es va veure embolicat en el mateix incident que JD, i és tal la lleialtat que li processa que igual que aquest també va desertar.

Kait Diaz: Una noia d'empenta, va néixer i va créixer després dels murs que protegeixen les ciutats, on viuen la majoria d'humans. És filla d'una de les líders dels Outsiders (es desconeix el terme que es farà servir en castellà).

Altres personatges als quals s'han donat a conèixer són:

Reyna Diaz: És la mare de Kait i la líder dels Outsiders, els que viuen a l'exterior de la ciutat acorzada de la Coalició.

Oscar Diaz: Oscar és l'oncle de Kait i el cunyat de Reyna. És un gran guerrer a qui li agrada el combat, el vi i les dones. Està ressentit amb JD i Del per deserció de la CGO. Sovint els anomena "fugitius" per allunyar-se de la seva deure com Gears.

First Minister Jinn: Actual líder de la COG, responsable de la ciutat cuirassada de la coalició i líder dels DeeBees, es desconeix si és home o dona.

Juvie Swarm Els juvies són la forma jove del l'swarm I en passar amb el temps aquest revoluciona fins a ser una mica intel·ligent i allà comença usar armes de foc segons els de la revista game informer Aquests comencessin a enfilar-se per les parets i seran ràpids però són fàcils de matar

Drone Swarm El drone swarm és l'etapa final del juvie aquest comença ser intel·ligent i usar armes i granades de fragmentació aquests van ser possiblement inspirats en els drones locust dels primers gears of war

Pouncer El pouncer és un enemic que es va mostrar en l'E3 del 2015 el primer enemic confirmat per al joc aquest té l'aspecte en un rat gegant que pot enfilar i pujar a edificis seva primera arma principal seria la cua, ja que llança pues

La seva data de llançament és l'11 d'octubre, però comptés amb 4 dies d'accés anticipat si s'adquireix l'edicion Ultimate Edition i arribarà en exclusiva a Xbox One i Windows 10, aquests són els requeriments per poder jugar-ho en 4K1. (Mitjançant el servei de Xbox Play Anywhere). També el diumenge 10 d'abril del 2016 sac el tràiler oficial del joc Que només dur un minut mostrant a JD corrent d'uns juvies i pouncers i recordant en la seva infància al seu pare marcus fènix però ara com a granger per dir-ho així i la seva mare anya revelant que marcus i anya formar una família amb JD i al final JD lluita contra un pouncer que estava en les branques de l'un arbre

Igual que els altres gears va tenir un DLC on va sortir marcus en el seu "look" veterà Anya com en el tràiler tomorrow Dom però com en una mena de zombi L'lancer en una "edició or" juntament amb l'escopeta gnasher

Al principi, Gears of War 4 anava tenir una altra història, ja fos sobre les guerres del pèndol o sobre que els humans viatjarien a un altre planeta, deixant a Sera en l'oblit, però van ser descartades perquè la lluita entre humans o el que aquests viatgessin a un altre planeta no tindria importància o sentit, així que al final es va decidir que el joc seguís la línia dels anteriors títols de la saga, només que el nou enemic dels humans es diria "The Swarm". La beta estarà disponible el 18 d'abril. El 22 d'abril va sortir a la llum un nou tràiler, que mostrava les noves maneres multijugador, així com la data d'estrena del joc, l'11 d'octubre.

Desenvolupament
Durant l'E3 2013, el vicepresident de Microsoft Studios, Phil Spencer va comentar sobre el futur de la franquícia, dient: "M'encanta la franquícia Gears, han fet un treball realment bo. Jo crec que és també un moment molt interessant per posar en marxa la nova IP, i això és una cosa que estem realment invertint. Han vist Quantum Break, també Sunset Overdrive i Crimson Dragon, i jocs grans i petits de molts desenvolupadors diferents. Crec que comptàvem, i teníem vuit o nou nacionalitats diferents a l'escenari. és una oportunitat genial per portar un munt de nous continguts ".

El 27 de gener de 2014, Microsoft va anunciar que havia comprat els drets de la franquícia d'Epic Games, i que un nou joc serà desenvolupat per The Coalition per a Xbox One.

Rod Fergusson, exdirector de producció d'Epic Games en la franquícia Gears of War, s'unirà a Microsoft i tinguessin un paper clau de lideratge en el desenvolupament de la franquícia en el futur.

L'1 d'abril de 2015, Jack Tala va confirmar que el proper Gears of War no estarà disponible per la Xbox 360. En una resposta a una pregunta al Twitter, va dir Tala: "No ho sento, no estarà disponible per a Xbox 360, però estarà disponible per a Xbox One ".

El 13 de juny de 2016, Rod Ferguson confirmo en l'E3 2016 que el videojoc també sortiria en PC mitjançant el sistema operatiu: Windows 10, i que estigui comptaria amb el programa Xbox Play Anywhere, el qual consisteix a tenir Cross-Buy (Compres el joc per una plataforma i et regalen una còpia per a l'altra), Cross-Save (la teva progrés, no importa on juguis, el tindràs aquí) i Cross-Play (joc multijugador entre diferents plataformes) entre d'altres.

També en l'E3 al final del gameplay es va mostrar que pel que sembla tornaria Marcus Fenix però ara una mica vell i diu: benvingut a casa James (JD) donant a entendre que el nom complet de JD és: James Dominic Fenix.

Fa un mes es va mostrar un altre gameplay que aquest tenia a JD, Kate, Delmont i Marcus Fenix donant a entendre que Marcus Fenix és part fonamental de la història de la campanya.

El dia 8 de juliol del 2016 va mostrar un quatre gameplay de la campanya a la pàgina d'IGN exclusivament se'ns mostra que els protagonistes no només es van a enfrontar als: 'Swarms' sinó també a robots anomenats 'DeeBees' i se'ns donen a conèixer mitjançant el gameplay noves armes que seran introduïdes per primera vegada en el joc les quals es mostren rifles d'assalt, rifle franctirador i una Trishot (reemplaçament de la Mulcher) les quals són portades pels DeeBees.

El dia 12 agost 2016 es va donar a conèixer més informació sobre la campanya, en la qual ens expliquen breument una mica l'origen dels DeeBees, els DeeBees van ser creat pels COG per reemplaçar als pocs soldats que queden a la COG i així evitar perdre vides humanes, els DeeBees van ser enviats (en comptes dels COG) a investigar a les estranyes desaparicions del els habitants de Sera, els DeeBees són robots humanoides que busquen la cooperació social i seguretat. També s'esmenta que serà introduït un nou personatge el qual té el nom de First Minister Jinn el qual serà líder de la COG i ha deixat a la comunitat protegida de tot, per evitar més baixes dels pocs humans que queden.
