Zane Henry gave me the thumbs up for this one because I had no idea what it was about from the review in Cue. We sat in a U shape, looking at each other in real light. "Steve" was sitting next to me. I knew the instant I sat down. I loved that. I loved that I could have sidelong glances at the performer's hands. I could actually smell him; access his 'performerbility', before the show started. And then he started. And I went with this extraordinary young man on an original, unusual and deeply personal trip. Yes, I was completely aware that most people in the  audience were challenged beyond their particular capacity, and I had to work to show my love and 'thereness' for him. I didn't mind. I did feel skaam for the sleepers and embarrassed in the audience. I did.
What interesting issues though. And interesting story. And interesting take. And unusual choices. I was reminded about how I felt when I saw Hedwig and The Angry Inch for the first time. My brain was expanded. I re-understood the unique relationship that is developed between a performer and an audience, or even just some of them. I had a completely fantastic evening at the unusual, original, strange and completely engaging Life is Too Good To Be True.
And I am deeply head over heels in love with the gorgeous performer and his director sister from Het Geluid Maastricht.
You do take it the extra mile. Extra five, at that. Noted and always deeply appreciated to know that there are people like you out there.

Q: What is the cheapest unique in Path of Exile? Are there any uniques that are worth doing the vendor recipe for 5 chance orbs? (1 white, 1 magic, 1 rare and 1 unique).

A: Not really. I don't think there is any unique that's as cheap as 5 chances. Cheapest uniques are the ones that aren't very useful and with low rolls, and even those can be sold for at least 2 alchs (1 alch = 4 chances).
That's based on Hardcore League economy at least, i don't play default league so i don't know are their rates any different.

A: Yes, there are quite a few uniques that "suck so much" that noone uses them. There are not even some niche builds for most of these, simply because they're just that bad.
Most people do not even bother selling those to others, they just vendor them, but a lot of people still sell them. The introduction of the API, which allows to list items using premium stash tabs, has opened the market up for more people (as most couldn't be bothered using the forums or some 3rd party software in order to sell those cheap uniques).
If you want to find cheap uniques, just visit the inofficial auction house of Path of Exile, select your league & the rarity, and press "Search". It will list ~50ish uniques, starting with the lowest prices. These uniques cost 1x "Orb of Alteration", so you could very well profit using this recipe. Just please, before vendoring it, make sure that you're not vendoring an incredibly good rare.

We will see many major changes in Mortlake during the next few years with the development of the brewery site.
But do you remember what Mortlake was like before the last changes in the 1960s and 70s? Did you shop on the High Street, remember Wainwright and Waring perhaps, go to Mortlake Green School or did you work in the brewery when it was owned by Watneys?
If you live in or know Mortlake, then you may like to come to our Reminiscence Group.
Several local people have been coming along for many years, but it is always nice to see new faces. Over a cup of tea and biscuits, the group exchanges memories of the local area. It also has links with the Barnes and Mortlake History Society, who bring along archive photographs, old maps, newspaper cuttings, original historic documents and artefacts. There are also slide shows and quizzes about Mortlake.
The Reminiscence Group is a very friendly and relaxed group of people. You could make new friends or even meet someone from your school days who you have not seen for years!
There is no charge, no official membership and no obligation to attend every month – just come along when it suits you and enjoy the afternoon!
On Thursday 21 February we shall be viewing of some documentaries from the 1940s and 1950s showing how we lived in those days. Come and join us.


Lincoln Logs are an iconic toy that entertained generations of children. We built cabins and forts with the simple interconnecting logs, a toy that was invented in 1916 and named after President Lincoln's famous childhood home. For 60 years, the toy sets were made in China. But recently, they were reshored and are now Made in the USA. When the toy celebrated its 100th birthday in 2016, Lincoln Logs were rolling off an assembly line in Maine.
Lincoln Logs are made by K'Nex. About 10 years ago, the company decided to try to bring back some of its toy manufacturing to the U.S. At that time, 80 percent of its toys were made in China and only 20 percent were made in the United States. Today, 90% of K'Nex toys, like Lincoln Logs and Tinkertoys are Made in the USA.
How did K'Nex do it? It wasn't easy. The company ran into some of the same problems that others face when they reshore. So much manufacturing has left that companies have a hard time finding suppliers that can make the parts they need. In this case, a wood manufacturing company that could make the wooden logs was hard to find. U.S. wood manufacturers weren't set up to make small products like Lincoln Logs, or they didn't have the right equipment or they would have a hard time meeting child toy safety standards. K'Nex even considered making the logs out of plastic instead of wood, but children rejected that. Lincoln Logs had to be wood. After years of searching, they found a company in Maine that could made the wooden logs: Pride Manufacturing.
Hundreds or thousands of jobs can be created when companies reshore manufacturing. According to the Reshoring Initiative, companies like Ford, Caterpillar, General Electric, General Motors and others created thousands of jobs by moving production from overseas or Mexico to the United States. Unfortunately, most of the time, the number of jobs created is dozens, not hundreds or thousands.
Pride Manufacturing put in new machines and hired workers to make Lincoln Logs in Maine. But the log contract only generated 10 jobs. That's right, only 10 jobs. That's because American factories have more automation and robots and are usually more efficient. And therein lies the real good news of this story: U.S. companies can compete against low wage nations because of the productivity of the American worker. Making products smarter and with higher quality leads to profits, says K'Nex CEO Michael Aratan.


Fantastic 2 bedroom 3rd floor apartment in excellent condition throughout. This spacious property is located in the An Dunnóg development just off the Eastham Road in Bettystown, Co. Meath. The property boasts 2 double rooms, ample parking and a west facing balcony. Extending to c. 85 sq. m. (915 sq. ft.) the property is located on the Meath Gold Coast and this well cared for development is within walking distance to the local shop, Bettystown Beach, Laytown & Bettystown Golf & Tennis Club. With easy access to Drogheda Town and Dublin City via road and rail, this property would ideally suit a first time buyer or equally, anyone who requires a property that is well presented and ready to walk in to.


It's official. The new John Deere 9000 Series forager range is here! Back in June, Grassmen were lucky enough to exclusively witness the 9800i chopping grass for the first time. The full interview with Donkey will follow this weekend so watch this space.

Q: Silverlight Telerik GridViewComboBoxColumn problem on Insert My scenario:
I have a Telerik Silverlight RadGridView With some columns, and one of them is
<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="Grid1" DataContext="{StaticResource ViewModelDailyReport}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" ScrollMode="RealTime"  AutoGenerateColumns="false" ItemsSource="{Binding LogBookItems}" IsReadOnly="false"   Visibility="Visible" >
[...]
<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn
                Header="My Activity"
                DataMemberBinding="{Binding Activity.ID, Mode=TwoWay}"
                SelectedValueMemberPath="ID"
                DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                ItemsSource="{StaticResource ViewModelActivities}">
</telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>
[...]

So I Have a TwoWay binding on a Collection of Items in a ViewModel.
All works fine, except when I insert a new item (with RadGrid BeginInsert command): when user chooses an item from the dropdown, it is always blank in the cell...
The bound collection has a new item (on insert event), but there is no way to bind the newly added item with combobox.
What is the trick?
Thanks

A: Make sure you have a default constructor in the LogBookItem class.
In the default constructor, you can initialize your default values and also create a new Activity instance, since you are binding to it's ID.
public LogBook()
{
 //initialize default values
 this.CreationDate = DateTime.UtcNow;
 this.Activity = new Activity(); //Activity.ID will equal 0
}


And Job again took up his discourse, and said: 2 "Oh, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me, 3 when his lamp shone upon my head and by his light I walked through darkness, 4 as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent, 5 when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were all around me, 6 when my steps were washed with butter and the rock poured out for me streams of oil! 7 When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the square, 8 the young men saw me and withdrew and the aged rose and stood; 9 the princes refrained from talking and laid their hand on their mouth; 10 the voice of the nobles was hushed and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth. 11 When the ear heard, it called me blessed and when the eye saw, it approved, 12 because I delivered the poor who cried for help and the fatherless who had none to help him. 13 The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban. 15 I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. 16 I was a father to the needy and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know. 17 I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth. 18 Then I thought, I shall die in my nest and I shall multiply my days as the sand, 19 my roots spread out to the waters, with the dew all night on my branches, 20 my glory fresh with me and my bow ever new in my hand. 21 "Men listened to me and waited and kept silence for my counsel. 22 After I spoke they did not speak again and my word dropped upon them. 23 They waited for me as for the rain and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain. 24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence and the light of my face they did not cast down. 25 I chose their way and sat as chief and I lived like a king among his troops, like one who comforts mourners.

Your teacher or professor may require you to purchase various software applications for completing assignments and projects. There is also regular software that you need for everyday use on your computer.
Unfortunately, some software applications can be expensive. The solution is to purchase your software titles at an educational discount. You do need proof that you are a student at an accredited school or university to purchase the software at a discount.
Software required of students can run cover a wide range. The most obvious is a word processor, such as Microsoft Word. If you are taking a graphic arts course, you may be expected to buy Adobe PhotoShop. College students taking advanced statistics may need the SPSS graduate statistics pack.
Most of the required software is fairly expensive, so a 75% discount offered by educational software retailers would help out.
Requirements for getting educational discounts on software that you must be a qualified student form an accredited school or institution. You need to provide proof of your academic status when placing an order. This is usually done by sending a copy of your academic ID to the software distributor.
Two good resources are JourneyEd and Academic Superstore.
There are numerous other distributors. Some have good selections and some have tight restrictions on who can buy from them.
You may have received email that advertises software at extremely low prices, with no requirements or restrictions. This is usually forms of unauthorized copies of common software applications. Often they are distributed from foreign countries.
It is not a good idea to buy this software, even though the prices are below the educational discount price. They software may be incomplete, may be infected with a virus, and you may get in trouble for using it.

I have always wanted to learn some martial art to protect myself, went to several training schools and what I learn was punching air and stance.
Only in CSL, I learnt more factual skills and was being put into simulation fights to prepare me for the real stuff; the trainers are very involved in the growth of your skills and will constantly remind you til you get there!
If you are here to look at a good self-defence skill this is a great place to learn.


UNITED NATIONS, August 24 -- As France on Monday was given yet another Under Secretary General job at the UN, bringing its total to four, China's main USG is Sha Zukang of the Department of Social and Economic Affairs, and Russia's two are Sergei Ordzhonikidze, head of the UN in Geneva and Genady Tarasov on Iraq - Kuwait. By contrast, the United States has six USGs, the United Kingdom has four or five. It's surprising that these disparities among the Permanent Five members of the Security Council are so little talked about, at least publicly.
At the UN Security Council's monthly closed door luncheon Monday with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, UK Ambassador John Sawers joked that a final toast to outgoing French Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert wasn't possible, as Jean Maurice had already had to run off on his new job for the UN. Earlier on Monday it was UN made up and dole out a job for Ripert, pushed out as Ambassador by Quai D'Orsai: Ripert will be Special Representative in Pakistan. Inner City Press asked if Ripert's post would be at the Under Secretary General level. Yes, Ban's Spokesperson Michele Montas said. Video here, from Minute 19:12.
Inner City Press asked if that now made three French USGs, with current peacekeeping USG Alain Le Roy and his predecessor Jean-Marie Guehenno, now a USG for Regional Cooperation although he had admitted that he has been assigned no work. I'll look into that, Ms. Montas said.
Afterwards, a French journalist approached Inner City Press to argue that "you Americans" have more USGs. So Inner City Press decided to check.
The French have at least four USGs, including Philippe Douste-Blazy, "Special Advisor on Innovative Financing for Development." There's also Jean Arnault, already in Pakistan, who appears to be an Assistant Secretary General.
But it is true that the United States, including their own share of do-nothing USGs like Guehenno, has fully six USGs. There's B. Lynn Pascoe at the Department of Political Affairs. There's new Department of Safety and Security chief Gregory Starr, who Inner City Press recently wrote about in connection with Starr having extended the US State Department contracts of private military contractor Blackwater.
The US' other USGs include Jeffrey Sachs, Joseph Reed -- recently feted as a "good friend of the Chinese people" -- Ray Chambers on malaria and Matthew Nimetz on the intractable "name issue" involving Greece and what's called the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia or FYROM.
The UK clocks in with four or five USGs, depending on whether Ian Martin, still seen buzzing around the UN long after his Nepal stint and Gaza report roles are over -- is still a USG.
There's OCHA's John Holmes, Michael Williams on the Middle East, and in the Congo, Alan Doss, embroiled in a nepotism scandal on which Ms. Montas on Montas said Ban has still not received the expected report, despite being back in New York for five days.
Then there's Kieran Prendergast, still listed on the Cameroon - Nigeria Mixed Commission.
Compared to Russia and China, Norway even after Mona Juul's anti-Ban memo has four USGs: Kai Eide in Afghanistan, Juul's husband Terje Roed Larsen in New York, Jan Egeland in Oslo and everywhere, at least sometimes, and Gro Harlem Brundtland, a special envoy on climate change. India has three USGs, Messrs. Atul Khare, Nitin Desai and Vijay Nambiar (whose job, like Lynn Pascoe's, the UK's John Holmes is said to covet, in the Mona Juul memo). Italy as two USGs, Zannier in Kosovo and Costa on drugs in Vienna.
As noted above the contrast, China's main USG is Sha Zukang of DESA, and Russia's two are Sergei Ordzhonikidze, head of the UN in Geneva and Gennady Tarasov on Iraq - Kuwait. It's surprising that these disparities among the Permanent Five members of the Security Council are so little talked about, at least publicly. Russia is known to want more posts. How can they feel about France's Ripert getting one so quickly? Watch this site.
One could go further and include American Bob Zoellick at the World Bank-- but consider Inner City Press' exclusive piece on the poker game in which in 2012 the U.S. would renounce the World Bank to China (and, some say, UNICEF before that), and the European Union would give up the IMF in order to gain the post of UN Secretary General - click here for that.
UNITED NATIONS, August 22 -- The son in law of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Siddarth Chatterjee, had used threats of legal action to force the removal from the Internet of comments that he may have gotten his promotion with the UN Office of Project Services in Copenhagen due to nepotism, Inner City Press has learned.
In preparing its exclusive August 14 article on nepotism at the UN and Ban's position on and in it, Inner City Press ran across an article in the Indian Star online, which cited Inner City Press' previous piece on Chatterjee's promotion with the UN in Iraq. Recently, that Indian Star article and comments were taken off the Internet -- following a threat from Chatterjee and then by his India-based lawyer. Click here for the now-empty page.
Free press advocates express concern at the threats, noting that in such matters "the cover-up is always worse that the crime," and demanding that Ban Ki-moon rebuke and renounce them. But will it happen?
Interesting indeed. Some of us have, until very recently, had the misfortune of being exposed to this man, in a professional sense, in Iraq. Spineless is a very appropriate term to use in describing this individual. There are more, but few are fit for publication. He is, indeed, a discredit to India, the Indian Army, and now the UN (where, incidentally, he has recently moved on significant promotion - despite already being totally over-promoted in the opinion of all that know, and have to work with, him). The recent recruitment of this man to the United Nations Office of Project Services in Copenhagen is yet another example of the ineptitude, nepotism and corruption which is so prevalent within the UN system, even at the highest levels (in this case, within UNOPS). But those in Baghdad are delighted that UNOPS has taken him away from Iraq all the same.
It is a shame. And it would appear people are still being fooled.
After the Indian Star article and its comments went offline, they still remained available in the cache of Google and other search engines. Ban's son in law's lawyers made more legal threats -- "this is round two of the Bans and Google," said one observer of plans by the UN to get Inner City Press removed from Google News, click here for the most recent -- to get it out of cache.
Now even that censorship of questions of nepotism within Ban's UN has been accomplished -- click here for the now empty cache page.
Siddarth Chatterjee a public figure, and thus his legal threats are spurious, even an abuse of process. He is the son in law of the UN Secretary General, he was awarded a job at the UN's D-2 level (see below. Now, after refusing to answer Inner City Press' repeated questions referred by Ban's Spokesperson's Office if Chatterjee is a D-2 or a D-1, UNOPS tells other journalists that he is a D-1, in order to forestall other media coverage. Will it work?
As you know, yesterday EUO and MEO formally merged into a new regional office called EMO (Europe and the Middle East) based in Copenhagen...I will be acting Regional Director of EMO until we have recruited a "permanent" replacement. In response to our advertisement for the D-2 regional director job, we received some 130 applications. Five candidates were short-listed for interviews: four were interviewed last Friday and the last interview is scheduled for Thursday this week. We'd like to make a decision by mid-March.
So even assuming that, as in Iraq, the UN decided even if only belatedly to keep Mr. Chatterjee a level below the grade of the post they awarded him, that is only being done to discourage press coverage of nepotism.
Even this raises questions of whether Ban, who came into the UN system promising reform and to run things cleanly, is due to his relatives' promotions so paranoia and angry about questions of nepotism that he has a conflict of interest in dealing with charges of nepotism against others in the UN, for example his own envoy to the Congo Alan Doss -- click here for that.
What I said was that queries on the biting incident should be directed to the NY County DA Office.
On the allegations, we take the matter very seriously.
"The Secretary-General is aware of the situation. He has been assured that a thorough independent investigation is underway, He takes this matter very seriously, and expects to see a report upon his return to NY."
Ban Ki-Moon returned to New York from his South Korea vacation and delivered prepared remarks at a World Humanitarian Day event in the UN's visitors' lobby on August 19. He took no questions. On August 21, after waiting two days, Inner City Press asked Ms. Okabe if Ban had as he expected now received the report on nepotism, and what would he do about it?
Ms. Okabe answered that although Ban had returned to New York, he had gone on leave again. So finally, what will he do?
Footnotes: in the course of legally threatening the Indian newspaper -- but not U.S. based Inner City Press -- it was argued that the Indian Star report which triggered the two comments Chatterjee and Ban did not like was "based only on a blog." The response was that Inner City Press is better read, at least online, than the Indian newspaper they threatened.
On that, Reuters of August 21 reported that "U.N. officials also complain bitterly about the indefatigable blogger Matthew Lee, whose website Inner City Press regularly accuses Ban and other U.N. officials of hypocrisy and failing to keep their promises to reform the United Nations and root out corruption." Later, a telling second phrase was added: "(Some U.N. officials accuse Lee of not always getting his facts right, but his blog has become unofficial required reading for U.N. staffers around the world.)"
Ironically, on August 20 a UN under secretary general approached Inner City Press about the anti-Ban memo by Norwegian deputy permanent representative Mona Juul, having "just read it on your blog." For all of Ms. Juul's criticism of Ban, from Myanmar to Sri Lanka to climate change, Juul missed the nepotism and family connection angle. Her husband Terje Roed Larsen works for Ban, as another of his Under Secretaries General who has refused to make any disclosure of his finance or to answer Inner City Press' questions about them.
This is run for the proposition that as well as being a nepotism cover up scandal, this is a story about new media. Ban and his son in law have lawyers threaten ill-read newspapers for daring to carry a report based on what they call the "blog" Inner City Press and two resulting comments. They urge what they view as "real" or mainstream media not to cover stories which are broken by Inner City Press -- which, for example, had the world exclusive, acknowledged on Associated Press and in Japan media amog others, of the final draft of the Security Council's North Korea sanctions.
Inner City Press, which writes more about Myanmar than other UN based correspondents, was never even told of the opportunity, given to others, to accompany and report on Ban's ultimately failed trip there. Some say that in all this, Ban is being ill-advised by those around him. The question remains: is this anachronistic media strategy of cover up, deployed by Team Ban, working? Watch this site.

(1878-1965). Austrian-Israeli-Jewish philosopher, translator, and educator, whose work centered on theistic ideals of religious consciousness, interpersonal relations, and community; best known for his book, I and Thou (1923) and translating the Hebrew Bible into German. A cultural Zionist, Buber was active in the Jewish and educational communities of Germany and Israel.
Autograph Letter Signed, in German, two pages on one 4to sheet, Deir Abou Tor, Jerusalem, November 30, 1946.
Buber writes to Bernard Rang, son of his friend Florens Christian Rang (1864-1924), pastor, lawyer and author, identified as a Christian Socialist and whom Buber considered to be a Jurist, philosopher and theologian. Buber met Christian Rang at the Potsdam meeting of the Forte Circle. During World War I, Rang was a German patriot, but later his feelings were more in alignment with Buber's. They joined together calling for a reevaluation of Germany's education system and remained friends until Rang's death in 1924. In part," I had already heard about you some time ago through Leopold Max. Marxens live as hardworking settlers in Shave Zin near Naharia. Kratz, who published a series of German poems here over the years lives in Jerusalem...he has a position as a minor official. Benjamin ended in suicide after he had crossed the Franco-Spanish border with a number of others and was told that he would have to return (which later turned out to be false). My help with the highly desirable publication of the literary remains of your father is certainly at the disposal of the editors...As soon as you tell me the time has come, I will have the letters in my possession copied and will send you a copy...In all this time, I have hardly published anything in German, though a series of books in Hebrew, recently also a few things in English. Several volumes are being prepared in English...maybe it will be possible to make a small trip to Germany from Switzerland...." He signs in full, "Martin Buber."
Buber writes, "My help with the highly desirable publication of the literary remains of your father is certainly at the disposal of the editors." But, in a 1949 letter from Buber to Bernard Rang [see "Martin Buber's Life and Work" b Maurice S. Friedman], Buber reproves him "for the liberties he had taken in recasting his father's writings on Goethe into the form of a 'dialogue' between his father and himself…." So, it seems that whatever Buber did send was not, in the end, published with total accuracy.During 1946 Buber's "Moses" was published in English and he would have finished writing "Paths in Utopia," as it was published the following year, 1947 and in English in 1949.Among the people Buber mentions in his letter are Leopold Marx, Walter Benjamin and Ernst Michel. Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a literary cultural philosopher, and a big influence on Buber. According to "The Letters of Martin Buber: A Life of Dialogue" by Martin Buber, Benjamin was unable to secure a university position in 1925 and finally left Germany in 1933 to live in various places in Europe. He tried to cross the Franco-Spanish border in 1940, as mentioned in this letter, but could not. The prospect of being extradited back to Germany led him to commit suicide.Leopold Marx was a friend of Buber's who, along with Otto Hirsch and Karl Adler, created the Stuttgart Judisches Lehrhaus, a Jewish Education Center in Stuttgart.Ernst Michel, according to "Martin Buber on Psychology and Psychotherapy: Essays, Letters, and Dialogue," by Martin Buber, was a "sociologist concerned with social and cultural policy, leading figure in progressive Catholicism." He was a lecturer at the Academy of Labor in Frankfurt from 1922 until 1933 as well as an Adjunct Professor in Frankfurt from 1931-1933. Forced to retire in 1933, he trained as a psychotherapist. He "opened a practice of 'personal psychotherapy' in the spirit of Buber's dialogical thought." In 1946 and after he wrote and published on psychotherapy and corresponded with Buber, exchanging publications with him..

But I'd still rather be in Tuscany.
Last time I was (actually) there was in 2000. I joined a Contiki bus tour called "Taste of Tuscany" for my first-ever European trip. This was long before I even considered wine to be a regular part of my diet, never mind worth studying. I had just finished university, where beer was usually the drink of choice. Wine was for special occasions at home.
I flew into Rome over terracotta rooftops, and rode the train into the heart of the city, passing by neighbourhoods with a regular pattern of house/house/apartment building/2,000-year-old ruins/house/house. I walked around looking like such a tourist, slack-jawed in amazement. Aside from my luggage going AWOL and a last-minute change of accommodations, I was thrilled to be in Italy.
The tour stopped in some of the most beautiful villages I've ever seen: Siena, San Gimigiano, Viterbo, Chiusi, Assisi ... I climbed over 400 steps to the top of Florence's Duomo, ran my fingers over the dusty marble mountains of Carrera, got lost in the tiny labyrinthine streets of Lucca, and ate gelato three times a day.
My wine experiences, in retrospect, couldn't have been any better: in Chianti, we biked over killer hills to be rewarded with a stop at Castello di Meleto, a centuries-old castle overlooking a verdant valley. Almost everyone left with a couple of bottles of their Chianti Classico Riserva ... everyone except me, who didn't know anything about wines back then. Silly me.
We visited Banfi and Orvieto, where I *did* buy the wines ... only to find out that you can get them all at your local LCBO. Oh well, the stuff from Italy tasted much better anyway.
The loveliest by far, however, was a memorable stay at Pieve a Salti, an agriturismo nestled in the rolling hills of Buonconvento, just outside of Siena. This was allegedly the home of the best sunsets in Italy (or the world, depending on who you spoke to). We dined on a traditional Tuscan feast, we drank full, tannic reds that practically ripped our taste buds off, we stretched out by the pool and lounged in the restored villas throughout the enclave. And when it came time for the sun to put on its long-awaited performance, we weren't disappointed. Who could be? How could you possibly be disappointed while standing on a terrace in Italy, sipping prosecco beneath a trellis of grape vines, while the sun sets in a blaze of crimson, orange and purple? I will never forget that experience.
I still get homesick for Tuscany; I think there were moments when I felt more like myself and in my own element there than in any other place I've been. I can't wait to go back.
Your descriptions are so vivid I can see them in my mind's eye.

Brakes put on foreign truck drivers
A general view of burnt out goods after a Pick n Pay truck was torched along the N1 in Klipheuwel on July 08, 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa. It is reported that both the N7 and N1 were affected by protests after a nationwide call for truck drivers to stop operating to protest the employment of foreign drivers. The truck drivers also threatened to shut down the whole country. (Photo by Jacques Stander/Gallo Images via Getty Images)
Foreign truck drivers working in South Africa illegally and those who employ them will soon feel the pressure from new legislation, which puts stricter restrictions on migrants working in this sector.

Old V Review
We came across to this old V review that says nice things about Liz. 🙂
The best aspect of the series overall is its cast, with Morena Baccarin giving it her all and playing up Anna's evil side, until an entertaining turn causes her to develop human emotion.* Scott Wolf and Elizabeth Mitchell also have their moments to shine. Mitchell's arc became more interesting in the second season, as she began to compromise her ethics and became more like Anna.

20 cancelled TV shows that are ripe for revival on Netflix or Amazon Prime
Who wouldn't love to have Erica Evans back on screen?
Your favourite TV show has finished, and there's nothing you can do about it. No matter how many angry Tweets you posted, the show was cancelled before the main story arc concluded. You're furious, you're sad, but nothing is going to bring back your (TV) baby. Well, maybe not nothing… Almost every cancellation is immediately followed by a 'bring it back on Netflix' petition (and Dredd, always Dredd). Fuelled by the fact that it has happened – look at programs like Gilmore Girls and Arrested Development, brought back from the dead thanks to fan demand. Licensing and logistics might not always be on our side, whether it's an ageing cast or well guarded license, but we can dream can't we? And some of these might actually happen (Hannibal increasing seems like a matter of time, for example). So here are our top picks for TV shows that Netflix (or indeed anyone) has to bring back.
The TV show: We're talking the reboot, not the original one, that would make this a revival of a remake. Semantics, bah! Described as a "reimagining" of the '80s version, the series follows the experiences of FBI agent Erica (played by Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell) as she attempts to figure out what a supposedly friendly alien race who call themselves Visitors really want with Earth. Can you see where it's headed?
Why Netflix needs to bring it back: That ending. Things were left unresolved but with a distinct "everything's going to hell" type of vibe for Earth. This definitely irked fans who would have enjoyed seeing Erica kick serious extraterrestrial butt.

EW: "Canceled TV Shows That Ended on Major Cliffhangers": V and Revolution
V and Revolution made into EW top list of 25 "Canceled TV Shows That Ended on Major Cliffhangers".
The alien occupation drama lasted two seasons before getting axed. In its series finale, Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) manages to escape the release of the Bliss, the Visitor Queen Anna's (Morena Baccarin) special telepathic ability to mind-control the masses, only to leave the bunker at the end of the episode to find that everyone above ground has been pacified, and that more alien motherships are on their way. Like The Event, V ended with a promise of an epic war between the underground humans and the Visitors, but that never made it to the screen. —Shirley Li
Cancelling V was actually a crime. Still not over it! Just imagine how amazing Elizabeth could have been when Erica found out about her son's death. They stole that performance from us! So glad there's a woman as president on ABC now and the one who axed V is no longer there.
Although NBC's post-apocalyptic drama waned in viewership and quality during its second season, that doesn't make Revolution's lingering cliffhangers any less painful. The nanotech that had been responsible for leaving the world without power was slowly taking over and causing people to see visions of their loved ones telling them to travel to Bradbury, Idaho. The finale ended with a shot of Bradbury, Idaho seeing power restored and crowds of people walking toward the light. (True, a 4-part comic was released this summer to give some conclusion, but it's not quite the same as a season 3.) —Dalene Rovenstine
The comics were horrible. They killed Rachel and Miles had a child with another woman. Unacceptable! Rachel deseved better, but writers never understood that. The cliffhanger was so much better.
Anyway Erica and Rachel were both terrific. Liz always chooses to play amazing roles and converts them into the most incredibly unique women. We are so proud of her!

12 leaders we'd follow into battle against the aliens: Erica Evans
Happy 4th of July to all our american readers! As today is Indipendence Day, we found this article about Erica Evans and aliens invasion. Nice! 😉
12 leaders we'd follow into battle to fight for independence from aliens
As we head into Independence Day, it's a good time to sit back and think about all the great sci-fi warriors who have fought for our freedom over the years. So who would we want leading the charge against alien invaders?
There are a lot of options out there, but a few leaders have proven their mettle time and time again when it comes to facing off with everything from skitters to body-snatching baddies.
As you fire up the grill and get ready to watch some fireworks, let us know who you'd want calling the shots if E.T. came knocking with ill intent.
Erica Evans: V (2009)
For all its faults, this reboot of this sci-fi classic reimagined the concept a bit and gave us Elizabeth Mitchell's ass-kicking version of Erica Evans. She battled the Vs all the way until the series' cancellation, and kept her wits about her even when the whole world thought the Vs were just here to help.

Will networks ever wrap up story lines of 'V' and 'The Event'?
Q: With the cancellation of "V" and "The Event," are we to imagine the ending, or will they ever present an ending to these two shows?
A: I would recommend you give your imagination a workout. There has been talk about an "Event" miniseries to wrap up that NBC series' story line, but the most lively talk involved it being picked up by NBC's corporate sibling, Syfy, and that speculation was later shot down.
"V," meanwhile, is one of those shows where I would never say never. Although ABC has no plans for a wrap-up, it's a concept that began with miniseries in 1983 and 1984, became a weekly series later in 1984-85, and was revived in 2009 as a weekly series. The series continued into 2010 and was brought back for a second season in 2011 before ABC dropped it. There's been enough ongoing interest that I could see at least a TV movie to continue the present run, although there is nothing definite at this writing.
That said, this overall issue of unresolved serials comes up just about every TV season. Audiences are drawn to some serialized shows. "The Event," for example, aimed at the "Lost" audience after that show ended. But if the audience is not large enough to satisfy the show's network, then it may be canceled before all the plot threads are tied up.

V on TNT? Fans rally to save illegal aliens!
With Warner's "V" being cancelled by ABC after 2 seasons and 23 episodes, fans have started a letter writing campaign to save the show by getting it picked up by TNT which is also a subsidiary of Time Warner.
www.ilanasvsite.com is spearheading this campaign named "Project Alice" :
"Project Alice's goal has always been to get V renewed for a third season, no matter which network. Now that ABC has cancelled V, it's time to continue our plea to Warner Bros. to shop V to other interested parties."
With TNT giving Steven Spielberg's "Falling Skies" a two season commitment, this may prove to be the right fit to save "V". Let's face it, sci-fi shows have rarely fared well on the Big 3 networks. But on other networks such as the CW, FOX and Sy FY, shows such as "The X-Files", "Battlestar Galactica", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Angel" and "Smallville" found an audience and enjoyed successful runs.
"V" is a brand name and does have a loyal following and I believe that on basic cable has the elements to be successful.
With a creatively strong second season, "V" original Marc Singer appearing on the season/series finale and show runner Scott Rosenbaum promising a more action-oriented third season, there is a strong case to save "V".

10 TV Shows That Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled: V
V is number 2 among Syfy's list of 10 TV Shows that shouldn't have been cancelled.
2. V (2010)
V is an interesting case, because the cancellation actually improves an already good show. No, seriously, it gives the series a memorable dark ending. Instead of having a silly and unbelievable happy ending, or fading away randomly, it's a tale of a doomed resistance and the last days of humanity. It has that rarity, a realistically bleak ending, which even Battlestar Galactica didn't really get. That's a good thing, though it would have been nice to have another season or two beforehand.

Now that 'V' is canceled, what should Elizabeth Mitchell do next?
Like an adorable child forced by love and honor to shoot the beloved family dog that has gone mad from rabies, ABC has finally canceled V. I can't say I'm too unhappy about the end of the alien-invasion reboot. The show didn't really have much going for it, besides a completely insane series finale that hilariously killed half the main cast. More importantly, the show's demise gives series standout Elizabeth Mitchell the chance to find another job on a different TV show. Mitchell was by far the best thing about V, and it seems like she'd be a great addition to any TV series. But what would you like to see Elizabeth Mitchell do next?
Part of me wants to see Mitchell hop into an already-successful show that could benefit from her playfully terse style. I'd love to see her join her old Lost castmate Daniel Dae Kim on Hawaii Five-0, a fun lark that could use a stronger female presence. (Come on, who doesn't want to see Boomer and Juliet team up against the Five-0 boys' club?) Conversely, Mitchell has usually been the funniest person on resolutely non-funny shows, so maybe her next move would be to take the Rob Lowe path into comedy. Perhaps she could be a nemesis for Jules on Cougar Town, or the head of an opposing study group on Community? (Wouldn't she be a great Office boss?)
In my ideal world, Mitchell could get a role on the second season of AMC's The Killing or The Walking Dead — both shows seem like good fits for the actress. (She lives around Seattle, and The Killing is set in Seattle. Just sayin'.) But you could also argue that the lady deserves her own freaking show, already — perhaps a gritty FX-style serial-procedural like Justified, or a resolutely non-gritty USA-style procedural quirkfest.
What would you like to see Elizabeth Mitchell do next, PopWatchers?

The Friday Five: 5 Excuses We Must Stop Making For Games
Posted by: Andrew in Features, NBA 2K, NBA Live, The Friday Five August 30, 2019	2 Comments
Welcome to this week's edition of The Friday Five! The Friday Five is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that's related to NBA Live, NBA 2K, and other basketball video games, as well as the real NBA, and other areas of interest to our community. The feature is presented as either a list of five items, or in the form of a Top 5 countdown. This week's Five is a list of five excuses that we must stop making in order to downplay valid criticisms of basketball video games.
There are times when it's only fair to make excuses for basketball video games. There are limitations to what can be achieved with the technology that's currently available. Issues with likeness rights meant that certain historical players can't be included. NBA games have a brutal development cycle compared to titles that don't come out every year. In fact, you might be inclined to call these "reasons", as the term "excuses" often has negative connotations. It's splitting hairs on the definition in some respects, but it's understandable that some people balk at the idea of "making excuses".
The problem with excuses is that they can easily work against our best interests. If we don't hold developers accountable for certain decisions and design choices, then we'll have no choice but to endure whatever undesirable situation we find ourselves in with basketball video games. Look, I'd like to think that I'm as passionate about the hobby as anyone else in the community, and I also believe in being fair and constructive in our criticism. It's just astonishing how far some people will go to make excuses for the games though, even when an issue is clearly detrimental to them. These are the excuses that we need to cut out, or else we'll continue to suffer the consequences.
1. "The other game has problems, too."
In other words, excuses that boil down to whataboutism. If someone is making an excuse for NBA Live, they might point out the lengthy grind and pushy approach to microtransactions in NBA 2K. Conversely, if someone is making excuses for NBA 2K, they'll sneeringly refer to NBA Live's struggles over the past decade or so. This isn't to say that you can't compare and contrast the two games. If you're talking about how a certain feature, mechanic, or mode could be better, and the other game provides a good example of what you'd prefer, then it's relevant to bring it up. Furthermore, as long as the games are in competition with each other, then comparisons are inevitable.
However, if you're looking to justify a problem in one game by referring to an issue in the other, then it's irrelevant. The shortcomings of NBA Live don't justify problems in NBA 2K, and vice versa. It's kind of like complaining about getting pulled over for speeding when other motorists are also doing so: it doesn't change the fact that you were doing something wrong, got caught, and are now paying the price for it. We should want to see both games be as good as they can be, and demonstrate goodwill to us as consumers. We're not doing ourselves any favours if we let EA Sports or Visual Concepts off the hook for their missteps, just because the other game messed up too.
2. "Not my problem, therefore not a real problem."
Not many people say this word for word, but it's the prevailing attitude behind a lot of excuses that are made for games. These excuses usually come in one of two variants. The first is dismissing a complaint because it has no bearing on the experience that you prefer. A good example is writing off complaints about VC because you prefer to play MyLEAGUE, which doesn't utilise it and therefore it's never a problem for you. The second is categorising valid complaints about a mode you do play as whining, simply because you find the current situation satisfactory. An example of this would be the removal of the three user minimum in NBA 2K's Pro-Am modes.
Needless to say, this is a myopic and self-centred attitude. It's assuming that the only real problems are the ones you deem important, which is to say, the ones that affect you. If you're not affected by something that is clearly a problem for other gamers who have sound reasoning for their complaint, then lucky you. It doesn't mean that they're whining about nothing, or that the current state of the game is preferable for everyone. Obviously it's hard for everyone to get their way, but quite often there are ways to compromise and cater to as many gamers as possible. Of course, this attitude is very prevalent these days, and goes way beyond basketball gaming. More's the pity.
3. "It's just the way games are now."
Appealing to novelty is a standard fallacy in an age where it's common to sneer at "old heads" and write them off as only appealing to tradition (which admittedly is something that happens as well). Technology and video games have come a long way, but it's just as fallacious to assume something is automatically better because it's new and different as it is to immediately assume that it's worse. A lot of companies have made mistakes with their products over the years. Good ideas haven't panned out, or consumers have been taken for granted and pushed back against the lack of goodwill. Updates have bricked hardware, or introduced new bugs. You get the idea.
That's why it puzzles me when I see gamers making excuses for changes that have been for the worse, or at the very least, are problematic. I've seen season passes and microtransactions defended with the argument "It's not 2003 anymore". As I said a few weeks back, when you make that argument, you're not putting some bitter old head in their place. You're admitting that you're fine with video game developers taking advantage of you and paying twice as much for the same amount of content because that's the way it is now. It's a mindset that developers are going to keep taking advantage of, until we stop making excuses and take a stand. Speaking of which…
4. "No one's forcing you to buy it."
I mean, of course they aren't. Of all the things someone may be forced to do, buying a basketball video game usually isn't on the list. And yes, it is wise to let your wallet do the talking, and refrain from buying products that you're not happy with. If you are interested in basketball and basketball video games, however, you're probably going to have some inclination to pick up the latest title. And, if you're not entirely satisfied with it, you're no doubt going to have some complaints and ideas about how it could be better. For that matter, it's quite feasible to forego buying a game, and instead feel disappointed that there wasn't a suitable title that met your needs and expectations.
The same excuse is also made for microtransactions. Again, it is true that you don't have to buy in-game currency, but the mechanics are in place to encourage you to do so, and tip the balance if you choose not to. The gamers who level up quicker or get a stronger team because they've spent money end up setting the competitive balance. That leaves you with the choice of spending money yourself, grinding hard to catch up, or suffering the disadvantage. You're not forced in that you can refuse to pay, but you're going to feel the pressure and possibly endure a less enjoyable experience. It's become an issue with basketball games, and we shouldn't make excuses for it.
5. "You're just hating!"/"You just suck!"
If you want to make excuses for a game and shut down criticism, a cheap but very effective tactic is to call the critic a hater. You've no doubt seen the same tactic used in debates about real basketball. When it comes to video games, a similar trick is to accuse the other person of being terrible on the sticks. Sadly, these adolescent debate tactics work because they distract from the point being made, the actual issue at hand. Now the person is defending themselves against the accusation that they're biased or no good at the game, since you've suggested it's the only reason for their complaint. Of course, it doesn't work on anyone too mature and savvy at debate to take the bait.
We need to stop making excuses that employ these tactics because this shouldn't be a matter of winning some debate on the Internet, for all that's worth. It should be about providing constructive feedback about the games, and that does mean pointing out the problems with them. Despite what some gamers may believe, not all complaints come from a position of being a hater, or ineptitude on the virtual hardwood. Sure, some do, but they stand out because they fail to stand up to scrutiny, and they can be dismissed accordingly. There's a lot of overlap with the other types of excuses I've mentioned, and we really need to knock it off. It's defending games to the point of fanboyism.
What are some other excuses we need to stop making for games? How could we stand to be more savvy consumers, and more unified as a community? Have your say in the comments section below, and as always, feel free to take the discussion to the NLSC Forum! That's all for this week, so thanks for checking in, have a great weekend, and please join me again next Friday for another Five.

I recall 2018 when we faced 2–3 weeks delays with Live 18 roster updates due Erika's maternity leave (what a kindergarten excuse for big EA). Kind of the same was with the textured black Bogdan Bogdanović (SAC) for almost a season back then. 🙂
I don't think the community was really making excuses for it, though. I remember a lot of people complaining (rightfully so) that the rosters weren't getting the updates they needed.

NEW CITY, NY – Rockland County Executive Ed Day announced that the county Office of Community Development has been restructured to better serve the needs of the community.
"This new structure increases accountability and will streamline the department's function," Day said.
The restructuring is an ongoing effort to ensure full compliance and accountability in the operations of the Office of Community Development.
Dr. Penny Jennings, assisted by the County Auditor and the Law Department began a top to bottom dissection of the Office of Community Development after it was determined that the previous director had effectively failed to carry out direction from the County Executive to address suspected personnel and financial issues.
That director is no longer employed by County government. Dr. Jennings, who was assigned in May, found numerous, questionable issues surrounding federal funds granted to various entities and has, and will continue to, take corrective action to protect taxpayer dollars.
Four positions have been eliminated, disciplinary action taken as part of the review of department's reorganization, and reporting responsibilities revamped.
At the same time, the county is preparing to contract with a forensic auditor to review the department's records in detail and to examine the procedures, performance and practices of previous Community Development Department Directors.
Request for quotes from firms that are already on a Qualified Suppliers List for Forensic Auditors will be opened Friday.
"We are taking every step available to us to make sure that taxpayer funds entrusted to the Office of Community Development are used appropriately and accounted for down to the last dime," Day said.
Penny Jennings will remain in an administrative role in the Office of Community Development.
"She will continue the work she has already started to sort out how public funds have been allocated by this department and how that money has been used," Day said.

Working in collaboration with engineering firms, the Engineering Students @ Work program provides a week long work experience for Year 10 students. Students typically are hosted by an engineering company and are expected to act as professional employees. They are provided a brief in line with real projects that the company has or is working on. Special attention is put towards designing environmentally sustainable solutions.
The Engineering Students @ Work program was launched with a team of students from Santa Maria College hosted by the Engineering firm Norman Disney & Young in late 2009. Working on a brief to develop concepts for an energy efficient green office building, the girls not only learned about engineering but also working as a team. The results were outstanding.
At the end of the week, students present in front of real engineers as well as teachers and parents. They write a professional report and perhaps even a 3D or physical model of their design.
An Engineering Students @ Work team was followed through their week at Norman Disney & Young. This DVD defines the program and the outcomes the students achieve. Pictured in the DVD are students from Catholic Regional College in North Keilor, Eryn O'Mahoney, Teacher at CRC and Peter Koulos from NDY. The DVD was produced by Simon Lindsay, Catholic Education Office Melbourne.
"With a recognised shortage of skilled engineers in the Australian workforce, it is incumbent upon the engineering industry to inform and promote the exciting opportunities and rewards that the engineering profession can offer. The concept of "Engineering Students @ Work" was conceived in 2009 between Norman Disney & Young and Akorn Educational Services and provides the link into schools for students to experience the engineering profession. The objectives of the program are to provide a realistic engineering experience for secondary students, allow students to learn about the diversity and vitality of engineering, work with active professional engineers and develop an understanding of collaborative working.
5 teams of students worked co-currently at the offices of Engineers Australia. Models of their buildings were printed using MakerBot 3D Printers.

I'm sure I've mentioned before that I really rate the Boots Botanics range of skincare, and the All Bright range is my personal favourite for my skin. I've previously reviewed the cleanser, but I've been slowly accumulating the rest of the range, and have been enjoying it! I thought it would be nice to showcase several products in one review, and show you how it all fits together. I now have the Gentle Cleansing Cream, the Cleansing Toner, the Purifying Face Scrub, the Cleansing Foam Wash, and the Hydrating Day Cream. All the products are under £5, and can be found on the Boots website here.
The whole range is formulated with plant extracts which are supposed to provide brighter skin. It has no parabens, is 'people-tested', and the packaging is made with at least 25% recycled material. The packaging itself is basic, but neat-looking – white plastic with a striking pink and green hibiscus flower on. Overall, the range gives off a simple and clean vibe, perfect for the budget skincare market.
Remember my love for St Ives Apricot Scrub, and how no scrub could ever top that for me?
Well, hold on there just a minute.


As I was discussing the storage optimization capabilities in the Machine Creation Services vs Provisioning Services debate, I mentioned the use of a XenServer RAM-based read cache. This can be misunderstood as XenServer IntelliCache (a mistake I'm sad to say I've made in the past).
XenServer IntelliCache (released with XenServer 5.6 SP1) and XenServer RAM Cache (released with XenServer 6.5) are two different capabilities of XenServer, both of which tries to reduce the IO impact on shared storage.
Let's walk through different deployment scenarios with Machine Creation Services in XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9.
When defining a host connection, the default storage management option is to use shared storage.
The virtual machines read (denoted by the black lines) from the master OS disk on shared storage. Writes (denoted with the red lines) from the virtual machine are captured in the differencing disk, located on the same shared storage as the master OS disk.
It is also important to note that there will also be reads coming from the virtual machine's differencing disk back to the VM.
With XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9, admins, when creating their host connection configuration, can select the "Optimize temporary data on available local storage" option.
For non-persistent desktops, instead of the temporary writes going into the shared storage differencing disk, the writes are now captured within the write cache disk on the local hypervisor storage.
But for persistent desktops, the optimize temporary data setting is not used as all data is permanent. The writes are captured on shared storage within the differencing disk.
The value is that we don't waste shared storage performance with data we don't care about. We instead shift the storage IO to local, inexpensive disks.
With XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9, a portion of the virtual machine's RAM can be used to cache disk writes in order to reduce the impact on local/shared storage. During the creation of a new machine catalog, an admin defines the size of the RAM and disk cache.
For non-persistent desktops with a RAM-based write cache on a non-persistent desktop, the writes first go into the non-paged pool portion of RAM within the VM. As the RAM cache is consumed, the oldest data is written to the temporary disk-based write cache.
However, this option is not applicable for persistent desktops due to the risk of data loss. If disk writes are cached in volatile RAM and the host fails, those writes will be lost, potentially resulting in lost data and corruption.
For non-persistent desktops, when used in combination with optimizing temporary data, we not only shift our write performance to low-cost local disks, but we also reduce the amount of write IO activity going to those disks. This should further help reduce the costs by not requiring the use of local SSDs.
If the environment is deployed on Citrix XenServer, the architecture automatically includes a RAM-based read cache on each host.
For both, non-persistent and persistent desktops, portions of the master OS image is cached within the XenServer's Dom0 RAM so subsequent requests are retrieved from the local RAM instead of generating read IOPS on shared storage.
This is valuable because we significantly reduce the master image reads from our shared storage. If you have 50 XenServer hosts, with each running 100 Windows 10 virtual machines, each virtual machine will read the same data from the same master image. This will add significant amounts of read IO activity on shared storage. By caching the reads in local RAM for each XenServer host, we can drastically reduce our impact on shared storage.
We also have a RAM-based read cache in Provisioning Services. This capability increased boot performance by 4X. I would expect to see similar results with this XenServer feature.
When the admin defines the host connection properties, Studio includes the IntelliCache option if the host connection is XenServer.
For non-persistent and persistent desktops, a local, disk-based cache of the master OS image is captured on each XenServer host, reducing read IOPS from shared storage. As items are accessed, they are placed within XenServer's RAM-based cache.
The write operations are different based on whether the desktop is non-persistent or persistent.
For non-persistent, disk writes are first captured in the VM's RAM cache. When the RAM cache is consumed, the oldest content is written to the local write cache.
For persistent desktops, disk writes are simultaneously captured in the local IntelliCache disk (.VHDCache file in /var/run/sr-mount) and in the shared storage differencing disk. When the VM reads data from disk, it first checks the local IntelliCache disk and then the shared storage differencing disk.
Host-based IntelliCache Disk: Using IntelliCache with the Read Cache (RAM) provides us with two levels of caching on XenServer. This could help reduce reads from shared storage in situations where our Read Cache (RAM) is not large enough. Imagine if we have multiple images being delivered to each XenServer host. Our read cache (RAM) will not be large enough, resulting in increase read IO activity on shared storage. By combining the two, we should be able to keep shared storage Read IO activity to a minimum.
VM-Based IntelliCache Disk: For persistent desktops, even though each write is performed twice (local IntelliCache disk and differencing disk on shared storage), the reads will come from the local IntelliCache disk, thus helping to reduce the load to shared storage. How much will this help the user experience and cost? That is still to be determined.
HI Daniel, does the MCS Read RAM caching require XenServer 7 or is this supported with XenSrever 6.5 as well?
Basically it means that because you are using hyper-v cluster with Scvmm and master image is on shared storage you cannot attach local vhd ( disk cache)". Is there some workaround for this?
Dragan — I just ran into this as well. Did you ever find a work around? Dan is there one?
we are considering Scenario 5 for our non-persistent desktops. Is Xenmotion of live VMs(including vGPU) supported in this scenario?

ICO Responds to the ePrivacy Directive Consultation
By Cynthia O'Donoghue, Kate Brimsted & Chantelle Taylor on 12 August 2016
In April, we reported that the European Commission had opened a public consultation seeking the views of various stakeholders on the current wording of, and possible changes to, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (2002/58/EC as amended) ("ePrivacy Directive"). The retrospective evaluation was necessary to ensure the ePrivacy Directive is fit for the digital age, and remains valuable and effective once the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) ("GDPR") is introduced. The Information Commissioner's Office ("ICO") published its response to the consultation, outlining its view that the ePrivacy Directive has achieved its objectives to a "moderate" degree, and providing feedback on a range of specific points. The response revealed the following ICO opinions:
Having specific rules for the electronic communications sector for the confidentiality of communications, unsolicited electronic marketing communications, itemised billing invoices, and presentation and restriction of calling and connected lines, adds value.
Having specific rules for the electronic communications sector for personal data breaches and traffic and location data will not add value, as these areas will be dealt with by the GDPR.
The definitions contained in the ePrivacy Directive often lacked clarity.
The scope of the ePrivacy Directive should be broadened, in part, to include Over-The-Top services, such as Voice over IP, instant messaging, and emailing over social networks, but only if accompanied by a clear definition of such services.
Strong protections for individuals' privacy rights (such as requiring manufacturers to ship products with strong privacy settings as the default) should be introduced with great care, and should be balanced with the legitimate interests of business so as not to stifle innovation.
A requirement to obtain opt-in consent should be applied to all instances of direct marketing on the basis that one consistent rule is "simpler to understand and to enforce". The ICO does, however, recognise the inevitable challenges that occur with this approach. Amending the provisions on confidentiality of communications and of the terminal equipment, unsolicited communications, and governance (competent national authorities, cooperation, fines, etc.), were highlighted as priorities when revising the ePrivacy Directive.
The ICO confirmed that EU data protection laws will still be relevant after the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, validating its contribution to the ePrivacy Directive consultation.

I am so enamored with this movie, I set myself a challenge to draw all the main Spiderverse characters from the movie. That's right, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacey, Peter B Parker, Noir and Peter Porker. Each one has a unique style, from cartoon, to manga, each one would take me straight out of my comfortzone.
Oddly the two hardest to draw out of the set of Spiderverse heroes was Peter B Parker and Peni & Sp\dr, both of which had very different styles. Mecha and human form have, and always will be a challenge to me. But the good thing about drawing out of your comfortzone is it forces you to learn. Oh, if anyone is keeping score the easiest to draw was Peter Porker – I guess because Spider-Ham is the closest to my style.
All the Spiderverse illustrations were drawn and colored using the Procreate App, on an Apple iPad using an Apple Pencil.
Using the unique feature on Procreate, I downloaded the recording of the Spiderverse heroes being drawn.
Gwen Stacey – Spider-man, Spider-Gwen, Ghost Spider?

Q: Segmentation Fault trying to recursively solve maze here is my code. I have read how to do recursive algorithms to solve a maze and this should work but I keep getting a segmentation fault and I don't know why. If you can help me that would be great. Thanks.
bool FindPath(Maze& m, int x, int y){

    RoomType rt = m.GetRoomType(x,y);

    if (rt == RoomType::Outside)
        return false;

    if (rt == RoomType::Treasure){
        return true;
    }

    if (rt == RoomType::Wall)
        return false;

    m.MarkPath(x,y);

    if (FindPath(m,x,y-1) == true){
        return true;
    }

    if (FindPath(m,x+1,y) == true){
        return true;
    }

    if (FindPath(m,x,y+1) == true){
        return true;
    }

    if (FindPath(m,x-1,y) == true){
        return true;
    }

    m.ClearPath(x,y);
    return false;
}

A: FindPath() doesn't seem to avoid entering the same room repeatedly, which easily leads to loops in the tested path. For example it will try to repeatedly go forward and backward between two adjacent rooms, infinitely.
This leads to deeper and deeper recursion, in the end causing a stack overflow. This is stack overflow is probably the cause of the segmentation.

A: You need to check if x and y are in bounds at the top of the function, this should solve your crash.

Historic road infrastructure on Old State Road 37 and the Dixie Highway in Morgan County, Indiana
10 August 2020 Jim Greybridges, concrete, concrete arch bridges, Dixie Highway, highways, Morgan County Indiana, roads, State Road 37 4 Comments
Let's return to my 2007 road trip along Old State Road 37 and the Dixie Highway between Indianapolis and Bloomington.
Windows Live Local map, 2007
This is the segment of old road I spied from current State Road 37 that led me to make this road trip. It turned out to contain two historic pieces of road infrastructure.
The road is signed as Hacker Creek Road at its north end. Its abandoned north tip was visible from current State Road 37. This is the abandoned segment of road I saw while driving home from Bloomington a few weeks before I made this trip, and which sparked my interest in this road. The bridge over Hacker Creek was removed, orphaning this segment. This northbound photo is taken from south of the creek.
Stepping back a bit, still facing northbound, Hacker Creek Road ends before this abandoned alignment with a guardrail and a faded Stop sign. One house is on this stretch of road north of Liberty Church Road, and its driveway is at the end of the road at the right.
Facing southbound from that spot, the narrow road is concrete as far as the eye can see, and it lacks the 2-foot extensions on either side that were common north of Martinsville. What this road also lacks is expansion joints. That's what makes this road segment distinctive. My research and experience says that Indiana laid its first concrete highways in the early 1920s but didn't start adding expansion joints until after about 1925. When this road was built, it was a continuous concrete ribbon. With Indiana's freeze/thaw cycles, the concrete cracked into this pattern.

Sadly, this stretch of concrete is no more. When I-69 was completed here, an exit was built at Liberty Church Road. This map segment shows what happened to that strip of continuous concrete — it was replaced by an offramp. And sadly, south of Liberty Church Road this road was paved over with asphalt long ago.
I wish they could have saved this strip of concrete, as very little continuous concrete highway remains in Indiana. I know of only one other segment, on US 40 in Putnam County, Indiana. I show a photo of it deep in this post.
There is consolation, however. A 1935 concrete-arch bridge on this alignment was bypassed, and the old bridge left in place. The bridge was closed in 2013 because it failed inspection.
But because the bridge was judged as Select on the state bridge inventory, it's eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and as such can't be destroyed without a lot of pesky paperwork and approvals. So a new bridge was built, the road realigned to it, and the old bridge and road left in place. In 2007, however, I drove right over it.
After crossing Liberty Church Road, the road is covered with asphalt (and seemed marginally wider) as it gently curves back toward current SR 37.
Next: a beautiful, long old alignment that winds all the way to Bloomington.

Anne Peden says:
Hi. Ive found 10 or 11 such segments of the old concrete in SC along US 25 where the road was straightened over the years. Several near the Water Resevoir, 3 near Moonville, SC, an abandoned bridge with evidence of at least 1 older and 1 newer, extended concrete road and deep cut of the old drovers road near Edgefield, and fantastic abandoned bridges at Old Hamburg in North Augusta. Only found 1 in NC on the property of a concrete company.
Wow — that sounds exciting! I don't know what it is about old roads but they sure are compelling.
Steve Mitchell says:
There are still a few pieces of concrete road remaining in Australia that were built during WWII by US Army engineers…..thirty years ago when I lived there there were many miles of it still in use, with every expansion joint making a regular bump and noise as you passed over…
Ah, concrete! Lulling people to sleep with its rhythms for over 100 years.
