Meet ELF; A Telescope Capable Of Seeing 120 Trillion Miles Into Space And Finding Aliens
March 12, 2018 Telescope
As noted by the amazing team behind this very revolutionary project, their Telescope will be the world's first and only telescope easily capable of imaging oceans, continents, and life on nearby exoplanets. Designed from the ground up, ELF is a new way to build affordable large-scale telescopes for exoplanetary research.
Highly specialized to see exoplanets up to 120 trillion miles (24 light years) away from Earth, ELF is designed for detecting the energy signature of life or life's likely chemical fingerprints in the atmosphere from water (H₂O), oxygen (O), methane (CH₄), and ozone (O₃), or on the surface from photosynthetic biopigments.
This groundbreaking telescope would have the ability to see up to 120 Trillion miles into outer space and discover life beyond Earth. Dubbed as ELF—which stands for ExoLife finder—the telescope would search the universe for 'chemical fingerprints' of life on the surface of distant alien worlds. The telescope would have the capability of snapping images go distant alien continents and oceans.
The best part, you can be a part of it. The project is currently on Kickstarter raising funds.
Once the telescope is constructed, it will start searching the cosmos with one main goal: Finding alien life, whether it's small or big.
In order to do so, it will start off by exploring its first target—an alien world located in the Proxima Centauri system dubbed as Proxima B thought to orbit its host star within its habitable zone. This star system is our closest neighbor located around 4.2 light-years away.
This massive alien hunting telescope will be composed of sixteen 5-meter mirrors, based on printed mirror technology according to reports from the Planets Foundation. Once finished, the telescope is expected to be 25 meters wide and will be located in the Atacama Desert in Chile. According to initial reports, the ELF telescope would have the ability to explore distant alien worlds located within 25 light-years from our sun.
Most excitingly perhaps, it will have the ability to explore the nearby Alpha Centauri System. Alpha Centauri is of great interest for Astronomers. Once the ELF telescope is finished, experts plant to search the neighboring star system and its possible planets for evidence of life as we know it.
Experts will use the telescope to sniff out energy signatures of life in its atmosphere, as well as search the planets' atmosphere and detected water, oxygen, methane as well as ozone. However, astronomers note how their revolutionary telescope could even detect photosynthetic organisms or even traces of thermal waste at the surface of the planets from advanced alien civilizations.
Dr. Svetlana Berdyugina, Director of the Kipenheuer Institute for Solar Physics and Planets Foundation, as well as the co-founder, said: "We aim to find life on nearby planets outside the solar system, also known as exoplanets."
"We have designed a revolutionary telescope with a number of metamaterials, making our mirrors incredibly light and also reducing the cost of our telescopes by a factor of 10. Our powerful new telescope ExoLife Finder, or ELF, will be able to see planets up to 120 trillion miles away, and will image oceans, continents, and life on exoplanets," added Berdyugina.
Currently, the team behind the project has raised around $17,000 toward their initial goal of $35,000. They hope to meet their initial goal soon, hoping everything goes okay.
$35,000 isn't the price for the telescope. You can find out more about the telescope by visiting their Kickstarter page, and planets.life.

Geoscape Victoria Poster - Introduction
The landscape and architecture, or Geoscape, of southern Vancouver Island is the product of a wide variety of natural processes acting over some 370 million years. Several episodes of volcanism, erosion, sediment accumulation and crustal movement have provided one of the world's best laboratories for the study of the effects of plate tectonics. By virtue of its position beside an actively moving ocean floor throughout the past 170 million years, Vancouver Island is an assembly of different pieces of the Earth's crust, all of which originated at different times, at different places and under different circumstances. The fact that earthquakes are a common occurrence in this region is dramatic evidence that crustal movement is continuing today.
Added to these tectonic processes are the effects of glaciation. As recently as 15,000 years ago, 1500 metres of ice covered most of the island. Fiords such as Saanich and Alberni inlets as well as the straits of Georgia and Juan de Fuca owe their existence in part, to the sculpting power of ice.
The cumulative effect of these island-forming processes includes the beautiful scenery that surrounds us as well as the formation of important mineral deposits and groundwater reservoirs. It is these and other natural legacies of the geological history of southern Vancouver Island that need our constant stewardship and care. Moreover, the probability that significantly large earthquakes may occur requires thoughtful attention not only to safe building design and construction but also to other matters affecting public safety.

Lloyds Banking Group says it has fixed problems that affected Halifax, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and TSB customers using ATMs and debit cards.
Lloyds is the largest retail bank group in the UK with 30 million customers.
The chief executive of TSB, Paul Pester, said its customers' debit card transactions had been affected after problems with two out of seven IT servers.
He tweeted an apology and replied to some comments personally.
In a statement, Lloyds Banking Group said: "We apologise that earlier today, between 3pm and 6pm, some customers were unable to complete their debit card transactions.
"Although the majority of transactions were unaffected, we are very sorry for the inconvenience that this will have caused.
"At the same time, some customers encountered problems at approximately half of our 7,000 ATMs. This was resolved by 7.30pm, and all of our ATMs are now working."
When the problems first arose, TSB chief Mr Pester tweeted: "My apologies to TSB customers having problems with their cards. I'm working hard with my team now to try to fix the problems," he said, and he also took to Twitter to respond directly to unhappy customers.
He told the BBC two of the seven servers that process TSB debit card payments had suffered problems, which meant that about a quarter of TSB card transactions were affected.
Mr Pester later tweeted: "The cause of the problems at TSB is now fixed. It'll take a while to sort the backlog. Sorry customers may have problems for an hour or so."
TSB has about five million UK customers and is in the process of being split from Lloyds Banking Group.
Alexander Holland told the BBC he had just bought £90 of fuel at a service station when his card was declined.
Leanne Seaward, 29, from Verwood in Dorset, said she discovered she had problems when she went to pay for her weekly supermarket shop at about 16.15 GMT.
"It was a little embarrassing, I put my card in and it kept saying transaction void. I thought it was because I am in the process of switching banks, so assumed they might have closed my account without telling me.
"Luckily I had my husband with me so he was able to pay, but if I was getting petrol and on my own it could have been a completely different matter."
"They tried it several times and then suggested I used the cash point which I also tried but was declined," he said.
"What was I supposed to do? To make matters worse the police were in the service station and came over when I was explaining that there was nothing I could do but write them an IOU. How totally embarrassing."
Sam, a restaurant waiter, said he had served a couple of customers who were affected.
"Of course, they didn't know what the problem was and neither did we," he told the BBC. "All that happened was the card machines displayed transaction failed notices."
"It's a big nuisance and causes delays for other customers. It has a knock-on effect and banks need to be much more reliable if people are going to rely on their debit and credit cards to pay for services."
Not everyone who has tried to use their cards has had problems, and Lloyds said that online customers were unaffected.
Prof Alan Woodward, a cyber security specialist at the University of Surrey, told the BBC: "It is quite unusual for two bits of hardware to fall over at the same time so I suspect it's something else that's happened.
"Quiet times like Sundays are when they do things like maintenance, so they'll do software upgrades or they might be doing back-ups. And it's those sort of things that tend to go wrong. So I suspect something like that has affected two machines at once.
"They might have been able to cope with one out of the cluster going down, but two is probably what's causing the problem."
UK banks have suffered a series of IT problems over the past few years. In December, an estimated 750,000 customers at the Royal Bank of Scotland group were unable to use their credit and debit cards for several hours following an IT glitch.
In 2012, a major IT failure locked many RBS, NatWest and Ulster Bank customers out of their accounts for several days. The issue was particularly bad for Ulster Bank, with customers facing access problems for weeks.

The average Social Security retirement check was recently $1,417, and the maximum check topped out at $3,698. That's a big difference, and if you'd like your own Social Security benefits to be closer to the latter than the former, read on -- because there are ways to get more out of the program.
Two Social Security cards on top of cash.
While you're at it, review the SSA's record of your income and taxes paid into the Social Security system, to make sure it's correct. If it's not, get any errors fixed -- as that can boost your future benefits.
For example, simply delaying starting to collect your benefits will increase them. You can start collecting your benefits as early as age 62 and as late as age 70. For every year beyond your full retirement age that you delay starting to receive benefits, you'll increase their value by about 8% -- until age 70. So delaying from age 67 to 70 can make your checks about 24% fatter -- enough to turn a $2,000 check into a $2,480 one.
Of course, if you start collecting early, your benefit checks will be smaller -- but don't dismiss the possibility of collecting early. Yes, the checks will be smaller, but you'll get many more of them. For many people, if not most, it can actually be best to start collecting at age 62.
Hands writing the words more income on a lined card.

Declan Donnelly's Wikipedia page has been hacked following a joke on last night's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! launch.
The 43-year-old presenter, who's hosting the current series alongside This Morning's Holly Willoughby, was mocked for his height by the blonde mum-of-three as she began to get into the swing of things.
Last year's winner Georgia Toffolo was first to notice the change and raced to Twitter to share the hilarious news, but it wasn't the only amendment that was made as fans also pointed out the phrase he was pushing 'losers can't be choosers' was also added.
Gags about height have been an ongoing joke on the ITV series, with Dec and Ant McPartlin describing footballer Dennis Wise as a 'very small man' on last year's show, even though he's 5ft 6.
I'm A Celebrity kicked off last night and saw The Chase's Anne Hegerty getting teary as she entered the camp and even considered quitting on the show's first day.
Discussing Anne in the Bush Telegraph, Emily Artack said: 'Anne got a bit upset so we gave her a cuddle. It's overwhelming.
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.

🌟How can I watch the Ballon d'Or ceremony?
We're signing off on the Ballon d'Or liveblog. Thanks for following us along on the journey, and see you in a year, where all the fun will recommence...
Congrats, Luka! 👏
Some disappointment from Griezmann and Mbappe after not being named winners?
"No, it's with great pride to be on the podium, and to be a world champion," said the Atletico forward.
"I'm counting on my teammates in the club and the national team to be in Luka's place in the future. [But] I won a Europa League, a World Cup, what else do I have to do I do [to be crowned Ballon d'Or winner]? I do not know."
Said Mbappe: "A disappointement? Well, from where I come from, it's no problem. In the short time since I arrived, I finished in 7th and 4th place. The three players who finished in front of me deserved it more than I did.
"I have to work to be in this place in the future."
Will we ever again see an African Ballon d'Or winner like George Weah?
There has not been one African player on the Ballon d'Or podium since Weah won in 1995 – but what chances do Africa's best talents stand in the future? Goal takes a look.

"I feel very thankful, for sure. It's a great honour to be here. I've been nominated with a lot of good players. It's a pleasure!" Kluivert said.
When asked who he thought would be named the winner, the 19-year-old quipped: "You have a lot of great players, but everybody who is nominated had a great season – but I think they'll give it to Croatia after his great summer in the World Cup.
"Maybe [Raphael] Varane. Maybe [Kylian] Mbappe, but he's nominated for the Young Player award! I'm curious as to see who will win."
He continued: "I'm excited to be playing a lot more games with Roma. I thought maybe it was a good decision [to leave Ajax] but I'm very happy to be here – the trianing, the games. I feel like I'm learning more, every day.
"I'm very happy to have the name 'Kluivert'."
Modric enters the scene! 🌟
Here's the Croatia captain making his way to the Ballon d'Or red carpet... accompanied by his tiny Modric clan! 👨👩👧👦
We all dream of a team of Modric-ers. Real Modric. Hala Modric.

11 years on from the Messi/Ronaldo Ballon d'Or duopoly...
Sorry not sorry to keep hammering on about it, but this was the state of Messi's hair when Kaka won the award in 2007!
Other notable things that have happened in the world since a non-Messi/Ronaldo player was named Ballon d'Or winner: Spice Girls announced a reunion tour, Real Madrid won three Champions League trophies in a row, Fernando Torres hippity-hopped from Liverpool to Chelsea to Milan to Atletico to Sagan Tosu, and Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow made amends.
Kylian Mbappe probably wasn't even born yet.
🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Luka Modric
And finally, we outline why Modric is the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or tonight.
After an instrumental role in Real Madrid's Champions League success last season as well as having captained his Croatia team to the finals of the World Cup in Russia, Modric is set to be named the first Ballon d'Or winner in 10 years who isn't Messi or Ronaldo.
Much like Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, the Croatia midfielder is set to split the deadlock of the Messi & Ronaldo duopoly following a remarkable year.
🇭🇷Modric won the 'Best FIFA Men's Player' award in September – ahead of Messi and Ronaldo.
🇭🇷The midfielder also also won the World Cup Golden Ball award – the first player from Croatia to win.
🇭🇷Modric completed the most passes (422) & created the most goalscoring chances (18) for Croatia in Russia this summer.
🇭🇷He was the midfielder with the most passes attempted (484), most touches (624) and most recoveries (56) at 2018 World Cup.
The prodigal youngster has arrived! 🙏
Mbappe, Mbappe... Ba du bop, ba duba dop... Ba du, yeah-e-yeah!
(Sorry.)
Liverpool and Brazil shot-stopper Alisson hits the red carpet!
His heroics during yesterday's Merseyside Derby alone should be enough to land him the top spot... right? 🙌

🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portugal international has had an amazing year, but even his achievements haven't been enough to place him in front of former teammate Modric for the award this evening.
The 33-year-old is the most recent Ballon d'Or winner, but don't expect him to be in attendance tonight...
🇵🇹Ronaldo has already scored 45 goals in 47 games so far in 2018 for club and country.
🇵🇹This summer, he became the fourth player to score in four different World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018) after Pele, Uwe Seeler and Miroslav Klose.
🇵🇹With his hat-trick vs Spain in Russia, Ronaldo became the oldest hat-trick scorer in World Cup history at 33 years and 130 days.
🇵🇹In April, Ronaldo broke the record for scoring in the most consecutive Champions League appearances - finding the net in 11 matches in a row, starting with the 2017 final against Juventus.
🇵🇹He won his 5th Champions League with Real Madrid in May – making him the player with the most CL wins.

🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Lionel Messi
The Barcelona star had an amazing year, but still isn't a favourite to win the top prize tonight...
Both Messi and Ronaldo are at five Ballon d'Ors apiece, but his excellent year at club level but mediocre level at country level has made him an outside favourite to scoop the award.
Nevertheless, here's just a slice of what makes him the ultimate GOAT...
🐐At 41 goals, no player within the top 5 European Leagues has scored as many goals in all competitions as Messi in 2018
🐐The Argentine has been involved in 41 league goals so far in 2018 (28 goals, 13 assists); more than any other player in the top five leagues. o Lionel
🐐Messi became the second to score 💯 Champions League goals (after Cristiano Ronaldo) when he scored against Chelsea in March.
🐐With two assists at the World Cup, Messi is the only player to deliver an assist in each of the last four World Cups.
France Football announce Kante at #11

🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Antoine Griezmann
Easy, Griezy... the Atletico Madrid forward led his team to victory in the Europa League and won the World Cup with Les Bleus.
🤙 Griezmann has been involved in 44 goals in all competitions in the opening 11 months of 2018 (29 goals, 15 assists – more than any other French player.
🤙The France international became the first World Cup winner to be involved in at least one goal in the each knockout phase since 1986.
🤙 The forward was the first to score both in two major finals in the same year since Jorge Valdano did so for Argentina in 1986.
🤙Despite a month of 2018 still remaining, Griezmann has already equalled his best-ever year in goal involvements: he's been involved in 28 league goals so far in 2018 (17 goals, 11 assists) which equals his 2015 best (25 goals, 3 assists).
France Football announce #15, #14 and #13 finishers
Paul Pogba has been named #15 on the list, while La Liga duo Thibaut Courtois and Luis Suarez are the latest to be ranked at #14 and #13 respectively!

Only true '90s kids remember a non-Messi/ Ronaldo Ballon d'Or winner.
Today marks approximately 11 years since former Brazil ace Kaka was named winner of the Ballon d'Or during his time at Milan, during a season that he won the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.
🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Eden Hazard
The Belgian has been so fruitful for his side this year that he's caught the attention of Real Madrid.
Having been instrumental in Belgium's third-placed finish in the World Cup, Hazard is a top 10 finalist for the Ballon d'Or award this evening. We've rounded up some tidbits as to why:
🇧🇪The Chelsea and Belgian ace had a hand in five goals at this summer's World Cup (three goals, two assists) – and no Belgium player has been involved in more goals at a single World Cup since 1966.
🇧🇪Hazard has managed to beat an opponent with 124 dribbles in league football so far in 2018 – the most in the Premier League.
🇧🇪He created 75 goalscoring chances from open play so far in 2018 – the most in the PL.

Will the Messi/ Ronaldo duopoly be broken this evening?
We're set to make history tonight with a non-Messi or Ronaldo player set to be named Ballon d'Or winner. If you need context, there are children aged 10 who have not known a life without a Messi/ Ronaldo Ballon d'Or winner.
With Modric set to break the c̶u̶r̶s̶e̶ trend, we've outlined some of the most interesting facts about this year's crop of nominees.
🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Raphael Varane
He's not someone you'd immediately think of when it comes to star footballers, but the France international has been vital for both club & country.
Winning the Champions League and the World Cup in one year – surely you've got to be the common denominator?
🇫🇷Varane was the only player to have played all of France's 630 minutes during their World Cup victory!
🇫🇷Additionally, no player made more clearances than Varane this summer in Russia.
🇫🇷He become just the fourth player in history to win the World Cup & the Champions League in the same season after Christian Karembeu in 1998 (France & Real Madrid), Roberto Carlos in 2002 (Brazil & Real Madrid) & Sami Khedira in 2014 (Germany & Real Madrid).
🇫🇷He won his fourth Champions League title in 2018 - and no French player has won more.
France Football release more rankings at #22
More names have been released – with Sadio Mane, Edinson Cavani and Marcelo all in joint 22nd place!

🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Kylian Mbappe
At 19 years old, the young France international has already achieved more than you probably ever will in five lifetimes.
Already a World Cup and Golden Boy winner before he's even hit 20, Mbappe has been integral for both club and country:
✅With 11 strikes, Mbappe scored goals from a French player in a single year since Henry in 2003.
✅The youngster was the ever to score 10 goals for France before turning 20.
✅His strike against Croatia made him the youngest player ever to score in a World Cup final.
✅ Not to mention that he's been involved in 21 goals in 23 Ligue 1 appearances so far in 2018!

🎈Ballon d'Or favourites countdown: Mohamed Salah
We'll be whittling down the 30-man longlist to the top 10 favourites to scoop up the award this evening, starting with Liverpool and Egypt star Salah.
The 25-year-old hit the ground running at Anfield in his debut season with the Reds, and has already earned himself status as a Kop Idol. Here are some of the best stats & facts about the forward!
🏆He finished last season as the Golden Boot winner on 32 goals – a 38-game Premier League record.
🏆At 44 goals, Mo's tally in his debut season for Liverpool than any other player in their entire history.
🏆Mo netted against 17 different Premier League opponents last season – and no player has ever scored against more in a single campaign.
🏆Against Watford earlier this March, Mo netted four goals from four shots – and is only the second player since Andrey Arshavin in 2003-04 to have achieved such a feat.
France Football release first rankings at #29 and #28
France Football have now begun their Ballon d'Or countdown of their 30-man shortlist and have revealed the first names – Real Madrid's Isco and Tottenham's Hugo Lloris – are both tied at #29.

I have been a social worker for seven years. Three years at DDD, two years as part of a school and two years at an autism center.
I graduated from Boise State University with my Master's in Social Work in May 2018. I am currently in the process of gaining licensure for L.M.S.W.
From a young age, I knew that I wanted to help people either as a cop or a firefighter but those careers were not for me. When my younger brother was diagnosed with Autism, I became more involved with the developmental disabilities population as a respite provider and Group Home Counselor. I became an Applied Behavior Analysis therapist and program director and even thought about being an Occupational Therapist, Physical therapist or Speech Pathologist. These careers were not for me. While working at a school for children with emotional/behavioral needs and dual diagnoses, I was mentored by a social worker who inspired me to move into the social work field with the various ways to help others.
I enjoy being able to help people every day and making a difference in people's lives. I enjoy being able to use information from a broad perspective to interact with members, families and community partners. Oftentimes, we get called as the last resort and in some extreme situations, we have to dig and find information before we are able to act. Maybe we find something that should not be happening to our families or some type of bias and we have to stand up and advocate for someone. Lastly, the people in the social work field are incredibly caring, motivated and supportive people; I enjoy being a part of a great team dedicated to helping others.
Social work is a hard and thankless job at times. The best advice that I can give is to 1) take a lunch break every day, 2) Work to have balance between work and personal life, 3) try your best, and 4) have fun.

A Komisz kamaszok Afrikában (eredeti címén Zoop in Afrika) 2005-ben készült holland ifjúsági kalandfilm, Johan Nijenhuis rendezésében.

Hollandiában 2005. július 14-én mutatták be.

Cselekmény
Az egyik holland állatkertben munkát végez nyolc tinédzser, ebből négy fiú és négy lány. Csereprogram keretében megnyílik rá az esélyük, hogy elutazzanak Afrikába. A nem kellemetlennek ígért utazás egy nem várt fordulatot vesz, ahogy lezuhannak a dzsungelbe egy repülőgéppel. A nyolc tini nagy feladattal néz szembe, hogy a vadonban életbe maradjanak. Megpróbálnak átvágni az őserdőn, hogy segítenek egymáson, de addig is rengeteg sok veszélyes helyzettel állnak szembe. Részükre a legnagyobb veszélyt a vadőrzők is jobban jelentik, az állatoknál, amikor egy állatkereskedelmi nyomra bukkannak.

Q: Adding CDialog inside CDockablePane and application becomes unresponsive I want to add a CDialog control inside CDockablePane. When I use CDialog.DoModal() to display the dialog window, it makes the MFC application unresponsive and waiting for the CDialog result.
How can I make the application display the dialog and continue running without waiting for the CDialog result?

A: You cannot use DoModal to display the dialog. That displays a modal dialog, which prevents interaction with any other windows in your application until the dialog has been dismissed. Just like a message box does.
To display a non-modal dialog, you call the Create member function. Use the instance of your CDockablePane as the dialog's parent. You will also need to ensure that the dialog itself is a child window, without a border.
It might be easier to use a class derived from CFormView or CPaneDialog.

Even if you haven't worked on Kubernetes, chances are you've at least heard or read about it. It is already one of the most popular open source projects ever, and it's still being developed. We need to understand where we've come from to appreciate where we're today. The same rings true for Kubernetes.
I was recently told, 'Boring infrastructure is interesting now'. 'Boring' is a word I take exception with in this context. But I agree that the developer community is discussing infrastructure and operations much more than a decade ago. By the end of this post, you'll understand why that's the case.
I'll outline the developments that made this shift possible, why you should care about them, and where Kubernetes fits in.
I was lucky to have started software development in an era when cloud computing was already commonplace and AWS deployments were the norm. In fact, the convenience of cloud resources is one of the reasons that more people are picking up software development today.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, software was written primarily as large code-bases — monoliths — and deployed on-premise using proprietary hardware. Load balancers, taken for granted nowadays in their software form, were expensive hardware. As Josh Evans points out in his insightful talk about Netflix's architecture, "trying to add a column to a table was a big cross-functional project". Software components used to be tightly coupled, hardware replacement was tough, and horizontal scalability wasn't even a thing. If you were a service company, updating a client's software meant carrying a patch and doing updates on-site.
Efforts to ease these constraints, coupled with cheap hardware and fast Internet, have led us into an era of cloud computing and DevOps. DevOps, for those who don't know, is a philosophy that aims at unifying software development (Dev) and software operation (Ops) processes. The concepts introduced in this blog, from containers to Kubernetes, put parts of this philosophy into practice.
It's no wonder cloud computing has become the norm, with cloud native applications becoming pervasive. Although there are quite a few providers nowadays, including Azure and Google Cloud, it was Amazon's AWS that kickstarted the cloud computing revolution in the mid-2000s. If you're interested in getting a deeper perspective, check out the timeline of AWS or the famous "Google Platforms Rant".
You can create multiple virtual environments on top of a single piece of hardware, run separate services in each environment, and offer the services to customers over the internet. That's a simplified version of how cloud computing works. Virtualization makes another key component of the new infrastructure wave possible — containers.
Even if you hadn't heard of virtualization prior to landing here, chances are you've stumbled upon one of the two popular ways it's implemented — virtual machines and containers. We could dedicate an entire post to differences between the two. (In fact, that has already been done quite a bit). The primary difference between the two is the level at which virtualization is done.
Lean Apps made a great chart explaining the difference between containers and virtual machines. Read their full article here.
Virtual machines (VMs) virtualize hardware to run multiple operating system (OS) instances. With containers, an OS is virtualized to run multiple workloads or processes. Containers do away with the overhead that comes with running a VM. Containerization has been around for some time in different forms, but it was Docker's emergence in 2013 that made containers mainstream.
As with adopting any new technology, overhead is involved with containerizing existing applications. You need to consider possible challenges including those related to management and security. For example, since multiple containers share the same kernel, an underlying bug can affect all of them.
Yet, containers afford numerous advantages, which have contributed to their increased adoption. The most cited advantage is being able to maintain parity across development and production environments, followed by ease of deployment.
It's no accident that the rise in adoption of the microservice software architecture coincided with that of containerization.There are defining characteristics that can help you identify microservices, as outlined in the widely read microservices article by Martin Fowler. These core characteristics, such as componentization and designing for failure, are well-complimented by containerization. The degree of adoption for this architecture can vary across teams claiming to use it, but there's no doubt that its ideas can be useful when designing software. And containers help when putting these ideas into practice.
Note: The 12-factor app was originally written by folks at Heroku as a framework for application development in the cloud era. It also works well with the microservices architecture and container deployments. Do give it a read.
More often than not, your applications will run using multiple containers. As you scale, these containers can run into the dozens or even hundreds. They'll need to interact with each other and be maintained, so you need a tool to manage or orchestrate them. Although there are a number of orchestration tools available, Kubernetes has recently emerged as the standard.
Kubernetes, or K8s, was originally designed by Google. It has enjoyed a great sense of credibility since it emerged out of Borg, a project used by the search giant to manage its fleet of containers. K8s is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and is being actively developed.
Hosting your own Kubernetes cluster poses a unique set of challenges, such as the networking set-up. However, hosted solutions such as Google Cloud Platform's Kubernetes Engine have made K8s much more accessible.
Our experience with K8s at SocialCops has been mostly positive so far. We will put out detailed posts soon on how we use it. However, I would encourage you to make up your own mind about K8s, as well as all the other concepts mentioned in this post. Discussing the topics on forums such as Reddit or Hackernews may help.
There is a lot of material out on the internet around containers and Kubernetes. You can get started with reading the official docs for Docker or Kubernetes. Or if you prefer, you can read through an introductory article or try out an interactive tutorial.
If all or most of the above is new for you, chances are you may already be suffering from a case of tech jargon overload. Don't worry if that's the case. The concepts and technologies in this post are the outcomes of decades of work. You won't get them on the first go, and you aren't supposed to!

Yes I did, for $40. I think I sold it somewhere around '99 for like $240.
What do you suppose the lotus 83 values at?
Stacey, I believe I paid just about $300 for it brand new. As rare as they are, I've never seen another one, they still probably wouldn't be worth anymore than that.
Hi Wil, I had a Lotus Explorer, too, back around 1984. It was finished in red metallic, similar or the same as what Ibanez used on their Destroyers and Rocket Rolls. Lotus used a Strat style neck on my model. The humbuckers had exposed cream bobbins and they broke up with a lot of presence. I saved one of them, but never installed it in anything else. I always enjoyed playing that Lotus.
I had the same exact Lotus in the pic above Dave, same color everything. I actually saw one the other day on Craigs but it had a tremolo bar on it, probably aftermarket.
Hey Wil, I have the same 83 explorer..I need to rewire.
any idea where to find any hep..
Do you not have any music shops in your area Tom? That's where I would start at, the rewire is not that difficult. Let's see a pic of that Explorer!

Q: Failed line of communication… rebooting for morons? I work at a large corporation where we use many legacy systems. To note some of the systems: HP-UX 10.20, Windows 2000, VMEBus systems,  systems designed 30+ years ago that do not communicate via TCP/IP protocols, and more.
Throughout the work week we are constantly plagued with these legacy systems losing communication with one another. Usually rebooting a system to try to restore communication is the last approach. It has become a common belief that rebooting a system is just a "fix-all" for ignorant co-workers. I was wondering, if there is ever validity to rebooting a system (legacy or not) to restore a failed line of communication?
I realize renewing IP addresses in windows should effectively restore network communication; but is there the possibility of a deeper problem in the underlying operating system that could become corrupt and need a reboot? A failed socket that times out, doesn't close, or maybe doesn't try to reconnect?
It seems to me rebooting would be a viable resolution when having such a complex network of mismatch systems. But (at least at my workplace) when a system is rebooted, and everything magically starts working again it's always a "coincidence"; never a solution.  Thoughts?

A: Yeah, "restart and call me if it still doesn't work" is often the first line of troubleshooting for sysadmins or helpdesk staff who are out of ideas.  I'll cop to using this as well, but telling someone to reboot a server is a completely different exercise than having a user reboot their workstation, depending of course on what the server is used for.
I hate to give this advice, but speaking pragmatically, sometimes for true legacy systems that you're not at liberty to replace, if reboot works to fix the problem then it's better to just do it as needed and work towards justifying an upgrade than to extend downtime unneccesarily.

A: My thoughts on trying to educate people is to take the least intrusive path first.
As you said rebooting should be the LAST option.
So least intrustive would be more like,
  - Re-starting the communications service
  - Re-starting the application service
  - Re-starting the communications layer of the application (if exists)
  - Etc
This applied to more then just old systems and applies to any troubleshooting.  One day one of those systems will not come back up.
By cycling though the different parts of a system, this might also let you find what is actually causing the failure and also have a faster fix since an entire reboot is not done.

A: With fail-over clusters (I use RedHat Cluster) rebooting is a good thing for a few reasons:

*

*It's part of the high availability protocol as "STONITH" (Shoot The Other Node in The Head), whereby an unresponsive host is forcibly disconnected/rebooted. You better make sure it's properly set up and that it's going to reboot in working order. When something goes wrong, you can find yourself rebooting machines several times over unless the problem is obvious.

*The system is optimized around having a node going down, but it's not very good -- in fact it sucks -- at figuring a node is merely misbehaving. Having a service relocate to another node takes a few seconds. If the current node is misbehaving, pulling the plug on it is the surest and fastest way to do that, otherwise the cluster could be trying to do things too nicely, and wait for an ACK that will never come.

A: Because your question spans multiple operating systems, there cannot be a single correct answer.
I can say this for Windows 2000 systems: I've run thousands of them, and can only recall a handful of cases where communication had failed AND the system was not completely hung. Often a simple disable/re-enable of the incommunicado NIC would solve this, followed by a driver update and/or replacement of NIC with something less cheesy.
(IOW, I've only seen it with old buggy drivers and/or off-brand NICs.)

A: The answer is "it depends".
Rebooting can fix issues or make it easier to detect issues by providing better logging or easily observed problems. (Hmmm... rebooting shouldn't take 10 minutes)
Resorting to reboots as a standard troubleshooting technique is a bad practice, however. Somebody needs to understand how things are disconnected so you can triage, isolate the failed components and start troubleshooting the problem.
I hate to say it, but it may be useful to look at something like ITIL, particularly incident and problem management. It may help you or your management reorganize your support system to actually function in a rational way.

Eric Dane Shares 'The Last Ship' Season 4 Trailer at Comic-Con – Watch Now!
Eric Dane is all smiles while attending the panel discussion for his hit show The Last Ship during the final day of the 2017 Comic-Con on Sunday (July 23) in San Diego, Calif.
The 44-year-old actor was joined on the panel by his co-stars Adam Baldwin and Bridget Regan as they promoted the upcoming fourth season of their show.
During Comic-Con, the cast debuted the first look at the upcoming season of the show.
Season 4 of The Last Ship will premiere on Sunday, August 20 in TNT.
Watch the trailer for the upcoming season 4 below!


As I raced heavenward on this crystal clear evening I gazed out my window into the heavens and watched the sky, looking for meteors or shooting stars. Upon reaching my cruise altitude of thirty-nine thousand feet, I looked up and saw a brilliant heavenly object racing across the heavens. My first inclination was to think, "Boy that guy is way up there". Suddenly it dawned on me that I was already "way up there." Obviously too high to be another aircraft and much too large to be a simple satellite, I realized this object was something new. It didn't take but a moment to conclude this new heavenly body had to be the new orbiting space station making its way around the earth. So brilliant was its reflection in the night, I realized I was not alone at the edge of space.
Watching the space station race across the night sky and disappear, I became aware that when life has its troubling moments I look up to see God's creation and peace settles upon my life. I was reminded of an earlier chapter in my life when I had lost a loved one and prayed repeatedly for some sign from God that all was well. At that time I was flying an old Douglas DC-3. After praying that prayer, I looked up and there in the northern night sky was a bright display of light I had never witnessed before. The Northern Lights were making a rare appearance in the skies over East Texas. God's peace flooded my soul.
When I am discouraged……I remember …………… to look up.
These stories are great and I can see that you, with your flying experiences, your are truly "enhancing the reputation of Christ" with each one.
