Senate Education Committee Passes Legislation to Expand Bright Futures Scholarship
SB 4 Secures Permanent Expansion of Bright
Futures Academic and Medallion Scholarships
The Senate Committee on Education today passed Senate Bill 4, the Florida Excellence in Higher Education Act of 2018, sponsored by Senator Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton). The legislation expands the state university and student financial aid portions of the higher education agenda the Senate advanced last session, a top priority of Senate President Joe Negron (R-Stuart). Included in the bill are provisions for the permanent expansion of the Bright Futures Academic Scholar award at 100 percent of tuition and fees, and the Bright Futures Medallion Scholar award at 75 percent of tuition and fees.
"Senate Bill 4 secures full funding for the Bright Futures Academic Scholar award, which began this academic year, and it also reinstates funding for the Bright Futures Medallion Scholar award at 75 percent of tuition and fees for fall and spring semesters, beginning in the 2018-19 academic year," said President Negron. "With these two changes, we ensure the permanent expansion of the Bright Futures Scholarship for the approximately 94,000 students expected to qualify for new or renewed Bright Futures Academic and Medallion Scholarships. Senate Bill 4 also expands merit-based and need-based financial aid funding, and establishes flexible tuition policies for families," continued President Negron. "As Florida students and their families plan for their investment in a college or university education, they deserve financial security and peace of mind throughout their academic journey. With these permanent changes in law, we can help alleviate some of those financial concerns."
"Every student in Florida who qualifies and earns the privilege to attend one of our state universities should have the opportunity to pursue a higher education; however, for many of our students that is an unattainable goal due to financial burdens," said Senator Galvano. "A college or university education is a significant investment of both time and money, and Senate Bill 4 helps students and their families make that investment by planning accordingly."
"This legislation makes permanent the expansion of the Bright Futures Academic and Medallion Scholarships, establishes flexible tuition policies for full-time students, and incentivizes on-time graduation," continued Senator Galvano. "In addition, Senate Bill 4 provides an opportunity for advanced planning for our universities by instituting a transition period for universities seeking preeminence status to adjust to the new 4-year graduation rate for full-time students."
Summary of Senate Bill 4 – The Florida Excellence in Higher Education Act of 2018
PRESERVE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
Senate Bill 4 expands merit-based and need-based financial aid funding and establishes flexible tuition policies available to families so every student in Florida who qualifies and earns the privilege to attend one of our state universities has the opportunity to pursue a higher education.

Creates a new Florida Farmworker Student Scholarship for children of migrant families to earn technical and college credentials.
Expands merit-based state gift aid for high-performing students.
Reinstates full funding of the Bright Futures Florida Academic Scholar award at 100 percent of tuition and fees, plus $300 in fall and spring semesters to cover instructional materials and other costs, beginning in this 2017-2018 academic year.

Fall 2018 semester implementation for at least the entering freshman class – may be extended to include other students.
Must accommodate full-time student enrollment in at least 30 credits across any combination of fall, spring, or summer terms of the academic year.
Must maximize accelerated and transfer credit to facilitate on-time graduation and minimize excess hours.
Must be publicly approved by university boards of trustees and the Board of Governors, with updates and progress reports provided to the Legislature.
Increases Student Access to Internship and Job Opportunities
Requires each state university to use labor market projections and related degree production analyses to identify internship opportunities for students to benefit from industry experts and mentors, earn industry certifications, and become employed in high-demand fields.
RECRUIT AND RETAIN TOP FACULTY
Senate Bill 4 expands and enhances policy and funding tools state universities can leverage to recruit and retain the very best faculty, enrich professional and graduate school strength and viability, and bring aging infrastructure and research laboratories into the 21st century.
Establishes World Class Faculty Scholar Program
Creates the World Class Faculty Scholar Program to help universities recruit, recognize, and retain exemplary faculty, research scholars, and expert teams, as funded in the GAA.
Establishes University Professional and Graduate Degree Excellence Program
Creates the University Professional and Graduate Degree Excellence Program to promote quality and excellence in university professional schools, and improve graduate study outcomes in high-impact fields of medicine, law, and business, as funded in the GAA.
ELEVATE UNIVERSITY DISTINCTION AND NATIONAL PROMINENCE
Senate Bill 4 ensures universities remain accountable to Florida taxpayers by refining university performance expectations to incentivize and reward state university performance excellence and recognition in academics, instruction, research, and community accomplishments and achievements.
Incentivizes On-Time Graduation of Full-Time Students
Refines university performance expectations to incentivize and reward institutions for graduating full-time bachelor degree students in four years.
Preeminent State Research University: Upgrades the graduation metric to a 4-year graduation rate of 60 percent or higher. The current metric is a 6-year rate at 70 percent or higher. The bill provides one transitional year for any university having earned preeminent or emerging preeminent status based on the 2018 determination under current metrics to maintain that status for the 2018-19 academic year and receive 2018-19 preeminence funds accordingly.
University Performance Incentive Funding: Updates metrics to specify a 4-year graduation rate and require benchmarks for the "access" metric that reward institutions for performance success in serving Pell grant students.
Tightens state university relationships with their direct-support organizations' leadership, use of funds, and public disclosure activities.
Promotes State University Programs of Excellence
Directs the Board of Governors to establish standards and measures to recognize, enhance, and promote individual degree programs in state universities across the system, which reflect national excellence, prominence, and distinction.

It's been 30 years since Burt Reynolds starred in "Smokey and the Bandit" and made driving a rig on the open highway seem like a cool way to make a living. That same year, only "Star Wars" sold more tickets.
These days, "Star Wars" still fills theaters but trucking no longer captures the imagination of movie goers or, it turns out, the young and unemployed. Veteran drivers are leaving the profession, and young people entering the workforce are put off by long hours away from home and the profession's low-brow image. The result is a U.S. trucking industry with high turnover and a dwindling number of new recruits.
Most trucking companies have been able to make do so far, but as older truckers retire and an online-buying boom leads to surging deliveries, the fear is a driver shortage will spur delays and lost revenue. Offering generous signing bonuses, new technology and cozier cabs hasn't done enough to overcome the aversion to lengthy times spent alone on the road. The industry is running out of time, with the baby-boomer demographic nearing retirement and millennials continuing to skirt the sector.
The annualized driver turnover rate at large truckload fleets was 74 percent in the first quarter and the industry was short about 48,000 drivers at the end of 2015. That shortage is expected to balloon to almost 175,000 by 2024, according to the American Trucking Associations.
"Every truckload carrier is always scrambling to fill their trucks," Stephen Burks, an economist at the University of Minnesota Morris who used to be a driver, said in an interview.
Brick Kepler, a recruiter from the Professional Drivers Academy in Milton, Pennsylvania, often gets the cold shoulder when visiting high schools in search of potential workers. He said students have little interest in the trucking industry, with many pressured to pursue college rather than a blue-collar job. Young workers also know they might train for a career only to be replaced by driverless semis in a decade.

The wheeling and dealing has started for lottery-winning pot store locations.
Seattle-based C & C Shop, which struck out in the recent lottery, announced Tuesday it bought Bremerton's Better Buds, a lottery winner.
"We placed another bet on this new industry's future," said Pete O'Neil, spokesman for C & C, which applied for stores in Bremerton, Lynnwood and Seattle.
O'Neil's team bought Better Buds from owner Dave Comeau for $150,000. Comeau also gets $10,000 per month, or 10 percent of the Bremerton's store net revenue, in perpetuity, in the deal, Comeau said.
The lottery is expected to kick off a flurry of activity — a "green rush" pot entrepreneur Ryan Kunkel called it — as losers try to partner with winners for the state's proposed 334 stores across the state. There may only be 305 stores initially because no one applied for 29 licenses, mostly in rural areas.
The state held a lottery because there were 1,174 applicants who got through initial screening for licenses vying for the 305 store licenses.
C & C has access to capital and connections to growers, he said, that should help the store secure supply and start successfully.
Attorneys already are advising clients on procedures and restrictions for buying lottery-winning businesses.
State rules do not allow lottery winners to sell their coveted retail licenses. But they can sell their businesses. The new owners have to apply for licenses and have their criminal backgrounds checked, as well as have their financial and operational plans approved by state regulators. Then they must build out their stores and pass final inspection before getting a license.
The state expects to start issuing licenses for the adults-only stores by early July.


Switzerland forward Xherdan Shaqiri bolstered Liverpool's attacking options for 2018-19 after becoming the Reds' third signing of the summer.
The 26-year-old wide-man, whose three years in the Premier League with Stoke City included 84 games, 15 goals and 15 assists, brought his creative talents to Anfield in a transfer from Stoke City.
Scorer of a World Cup hat-trick in 2014, and with spells at FC Basel, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan on his CV too, Shaqiri is set to spend the peak years of his career with the Reds.
His journey in senior football began with Basel in the 2009-10 season at the age of 17 – and it was a story of success from the off for both the player and the club.
Shaqiri played 31 games and scored four times as the Swiss Super League title was secured by three points, and was on the scoresheet when the double was achieved courtesy of a 6-0 thrashing of Lausanne Sport in the Swiss Cup final.
Back-to-back title defences followed, while another cup success in 2011-12 meant the young man's collection of winner's medals stood at five before his 20s had really begun.
By now, Europe's top clubs had noticed Shaqiri's performances and Bayern won the race for his signature, sealing a deal in February 2012 for the 5ft6in star to move to Munich in time for the next campaign.
A promising debut season on a personal level was matched by the collective, with the Bavarians scooping a remarkable treble of Bundesliga title, German Cup and Champions League – the latter at the expense of Jürgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund.
His opportunities dwindled during the subsequent 18 months, though the trophies kept coming in the form of yet another domestic double, the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Shaqiri departed the Allianz Arena in January 2015 for what would prove a short-lived stay with Internazionale, before Stoke pulled off a coup to take the Swiss to the Potteries.
The versatile forward's penchant for the spectacular provided a fresh edge to a team evolving under Mark Hughes and his technical ability was exhibited through a series of fine strikes from distance and dead-ball situations.
Strangely, Shaqiri's most productive season for Stoke coincided with their relegation from the Premier League in 2017-18. He missed only two matches and hit the net eight times as the club finished 19th.
International football provided some relief. Despite winning nine of their 10 qualifying fixtures, Switzerland were forced into the World Cup play-offs and he played both legs of the 1-0 aggregate victory over Northern Ireland.
Shaqiri's last-minute winner against Serbia during the tournament's group stage was pivotal in taking his country into the knockout rounds, where they were frustratingly eliminated by Sweden.
Shortly after returning from Russia, he sealed a long-term deal with Liverpool and will begin the next chapter of his club career under Klopp at Anfield.


Even though people doubted who I am, I am healing anyway. I know how powerful I am and what those people think or say about me does not stop my strength as a Powerful and Mighty Healer. I know that now and the days that come soon will be so full of fun and enjoyment that I will be laughing most of the time and realizing that what I was waiting for is finally here….
Healer is here to stay.
Healer is always going to be here.

Recent socioeconomic and political events have triggered a global interest in government systems and practices. Competition over foreign direct investments has propelled calls for reform at all levels. Governments are now accommodating to a new role—one which serves the "people" in an efficient and effective manner while facilitating investment and economic activity, regulating transactions, and enforcing the rule of law. Indeed, the world is witnessing a paradigm shift in the function of government, from a provider to a regulator and facilitator of change.
This shift in the role of government has been felt profoundly in Arab bureaucracies and public administration. As Arab governments strive to keep apace of the challenges and opportunities that globalization presents, there is growing realization of the dire state of and pressing need for public sector reform. Across the Arab world efforts are being made to decentralize power so that local authorities enjoy more autonomy, that accountability of public officials vis-à-vis their citizens is increased, and transparency permeates the access and exchange of information. It is hoped that such reforms will instigate a culture of participation and openness—a culture in which government and citizens alike can thrive.
The Arab Public Management Research Initiative
The Arab Public Management Research Initiative at the Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government examines the dynamics of change in Arab public administration. It explores the overriding institutional and organizational models in the region, and the factors affecting their development. By disseminating experiences in public administration, and exposing Arab governments to international practices, the Initiative sets a framework for the examination of the variables affecting the success of reform efforts in the Arab world.
To achieve this, the Initiative has adopted a multi-pronged approach as highlighted below:
1. MENA Case Studies on Governance and Public Management
Series editors: Robert Beschel (World Bank), Khalid Al-Yahya and Mhamed Biygautane (Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government)
The MENA Case Studies on Governance and Public Management are a collaborative engagement between the World Bank's Middle East and North Africa Vice Presidency and the Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government regarding governance and public management in the MENA region.
The following cases are intended to form the initial nucleus of an expanding number of case studies on governance and public sector reform in the Middle East and North Africa. They provide a range of experience underscoring the issues and challenges confronting senior public sector managers seeking to implement various types of reforms. Substantively, they cover a spectrum of issues ranging from civil service reform and public financial management to policy coordination, private sector development, anticorruption, decentralization and improved service delivery. Geographically, they cover ten different countries from the Maghreb and the Mashriq. The intended audience is policy makers and government officials, academics and schools of public administration, and members of civil society interested in both the substance and process of governance reform in the MENA region. Agreement has been reached around an initial core of eleven cases outlined below:
2. The Arab Public Administration Network (APAN)
With the objective of tapping into regional expertise, and providing a platform for the exchange of experiences, the Arab Public Administration Network was developed as a network of Arab senior government officials and academics concerned with public administration in the Arab region. The network meets regularly to exchange experiences and explore the potential for development and reform in the Arab public sector. The network also contributes and taps into the wealth of information accessible to it through the United Nations Public Administration Network.
3. Forums and Conferences
The Initiative organizes international, regional and national events with the objective of collecting and disseminating experiences in public sector development and reform. These forums and conferences are mostly organized in collaboration with internationally renowned partners such as the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), and the Kennedy School of Government's Ash Institute for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University. The forums and conferences organized by the School provide senior Arab officials with the opportunity to assess new trends in public management and administration and their relevance to the regional context. They also provide a venue for the identification and development of new research concepts.
4. Policy-based Research
The Arab Public Management Research Initiative documents case studies from the experiences presented in its conferences and events, and through the APAN. In addition to their value as stand-alone documents which are disseminated internationally, these case studies also serve as important cornerstones for the identification and analysis of the factors affecting pubic sector growth, development and reform in the region. Partners within the APAN network, and participants in the policy forums also contribute and provide strategic direction to the Initiative's research agenda.

← What are the practical procedures in your country that are followed after the publication of the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities opinion?
…is the today`s topic at the ECMI headquarters.
Yesterday and today, the invited participants of our expert workshop elaborate on potential synergies between minorities and regional development.
Although coming from different research backgrounds and disciplinaries, the present experts have one thing in common: an interest in the research on minorities as actors in regional development.
"When it comes to regional development, the true potential of minorities is often untapped and remains under-researched", states Sonja Wolf, ECMI Junior Research Associate. "However, mostly living in peripheral and border regions, the strategic and structured involvement of minorities in regional development activities is especially important and could be a tool to increase social cohesion", she concluded.
By combining three fields of research (Regional Development, Border Region Studies and Minority Studies), the ECMI aims to explore the role of minorities in regional development, particularly in border regions. The workshop will gather knowledge and explore useful avenues and strategies to research minorities in regional development.
Furthermore, the workshop intends to connect scholars from other fields examining related issues and to potentially lay the groundwork for collaborative multidisciplinary research on the topic in the future.
After the welcoming and a short introduction to the work of the ECMI yesterday morning, the experts identified the differences between the three fields and discussed their potential for synergies. A detailed evaluation of the source situation was followed by an elaboration on quantitative and qualitative approaches towards the research of minorities in regional development.
Throughout its work in the field of minority issues, the ECMI had the chance to observe and analyse the peaceful and prosperous development of minority-majority relations in many regions across Europe. Although these positive relations are often intimately linked to the quality of life in the region and the socio-economic well-being of its inhabitants, this event is a premiere!

Miguel Perez Jr. was deported to Mexico due to a felony drug conviction.
A U.S. Army veteran who suffers from PTSD and served two tours in Afghanistan has been deported to Mexico, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently said.
Miguel Perez Jr. was denied citizenship from U.S. authorities due to a felony drug conviction he says was a result of his PTSD.
Perez was escorted by U.S. authorities across the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas and handed over to Mexican authorities on Friday.
Bergen said that Perez, a father of two children who are both naturalized citizens, was left with no money and wore only his prison uniform.
Perez moved to the United States with his parents when he was eight years old after his father received a job offer in Chicago.
In 2010, Perez was convicted of manufacturing or delivering more than two pounds of cocaine in Cook County, Illinois, to an undercover officer. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and had his green card revoked.
Perez joined the Army in 2001, just months before 9/11. He served two tours in Afghanistan before receiving a general discharge from the Army in 2004 after being caught smoking marijuana.
Perez served with the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group.
After his second tour, Perez became addicted to drugs, which he says is a result of PTSD.
Perez told the Chicago Tribune that he mistakenly thought that by joining the Army, he was an American citizen. Perez' retroactive application for citizenship was recently rejected.
Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth argued that due to Perez' service, he earned the right to live in the United States and receive mental health treatment.


The days are shorter and the temperatures in the north are beginning to dip. Winter is finally here. The good news is, Kyle Jones—our resident cocktail expert—is taking us on a journey (an escape!) to the Italian Riviera via the islands of the Caribbean with his latest creation: Bella Mattina.
This warm and cozy, rum-focused cocktail features a coffee by Angel Lopez out of Nariño, Colombia which was roasted by Sweet Bloom Coffee in Denver, Colorado. Though it looks like Sweet Bloom isn't stocking these particular beans right now, they have another Colombia Nariño on their menu which has a very similar taste profile.
Kyle and I actually shot this recipe in early 2017. However, I squirreled it away all summer long. I even held back from sharing during our warm fall because I've been waiting for winter to arrive—'tis the season we need to sip on Kyle's delicious Bella Mattina the most!
tLBCC: What inspired the name of this cocktail?
tLBCC: How would you describe the flavor profile of the Bella Mattina?
Kyle Jones: If you are a fan of a nice amaro after dinner or enjoy a cup of coffee after your meal, this is a perfect blend for you. I have always been a huge lover of a well executed Irish Coffee, but for some, Irish Coffees can be a bit harsh. With this in mind, I replaced whiskey with a beautifully aged rum to cut out that harshness. The Fernet Branca encourages those beautiful bitter notes of the coffee, while the brown sugar gives balance and a molasses-like layer which regular white sugar wouldn't provide. This cocktail is a great digestif or a warm and cozy drink to sip while sitting with friends.
tLBCC: Can you tell us a little bit about Plantation Rum and this particular rum you chose to use?
Kyle Jones: Plantation Rum is taking over the cocktail scene across the globe. Alexandre Gabriel, the creator of Plantation Rum and owner of Maison Ferrand, is doing some amazing things in the rum category. Not only does he create beautiful rums, but he collaborates with some of the top minds and historians in the cocktail community. Most notably, with David Wondrich who is the author of Imbibe! and regarded as one of the most sought after cocktail historians. Together they created an amazing pineapple rum called, Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum which took the US by storm. They also just released an amazing overproof dark rum called O.F.T.D at 69% for the tiki fans out there.
What makes Plantation unique is that they source and age their rums from their country of origin then send them back to France where they are further aged in cognac casks used by Maison Ferrand. This double maturation creates this incredibly smooth and easy drinking rum.
We, at Young's Fine Wine, represent Plantation Rum here in the Bahamas and it is quickly becoming a household name. Just this past February at the Rum Bahamas Festival, Plantation took gold in five of the seven categories that were available. They also swept the entire 2017 Miami Rum festival just a few months back as well. So this amazing rum won't be a secret for very much longer!
The rum I used was their crème de la crème, the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary out of Barbados. To me, this rum is the pinnacle of sipping rums and I haven't met anyone who doesn't absolutely love it. It is an assemblage of 12 to 20-year-old rums that are aged again in used Pierre Ferrand cognac casks. To some, it may be sacrilege to add such a well-refined rum to coffee, but the vanilla and coconut notes are absolutely perfect for this cocktail.
Add the Plantation Rum, Fernet Branca and Scrappy's Bitters to a glass.
Then pour hot brewed coffee over top, stirring until sugar is incorporated.
Gently top with lightly whipped roasted macadamia nut whipped cream to cover top.
Garnish with coffee grounds and begin imbibing!
tLBCC: Is the Moka Pot your brew method of choice? If not, how do you brew coffee in the morning?
Kyle Jones: The Moka Pot is my preferred method. It's just a perfect little "machine" for an easy morning brew. Maybe it's because it makes me feel like I am in Italy. More likely it's because I have a hard time functioning when I wake up and the Moka makes things effortless for me.
tLBCC: Can you tell us about your glassware?
Kyle Jones: Sticking to my love of vintage, these old tea glasses were a market find in Brussels, Belgium. They actually come with tops to put tea leaves in and pour hot water over. I like using these tea glasses for hot cocktails because of the beautiful design and easy grasping handle.
tLBCC: Is there any special technique involved in making whipped cream?
Kyle Jones: Nothing special, just a bit of elbow grease needed. Start by adding a cold heavy whipping cream and a couple of tablespoons of white sugar to a cold bowl. At this point, all you have to do is whisk, whisk, whisk. I added a few dashes of Bitters Old Men Roasted Macadamia Nut Bitters for a touch of nuttiness once the mixture started coming together. It will take a few minutes of hard work to start forming a creamy, buttery texture.
I don't like to take my whipped cream all the way to form stiff peaks because I prefer to have a bit of a liquidity on top. For a lazier approach—which by all means I am a fan of—you can use a handheld immersion blender or a Kitchen-Aid style stand mixer with whisk attachment.

Human and Moral Dimensions
"Washington and Military Assistance Command, Vietnam assessed the war through the rose-colored glasses of body counts. In so doing they violated the basic principles of fighting wars that the Marine Corps had lived and died by for more than 190 years: war is ultimately a test of wills, in which the human and moral dimensions are far more vital than the technological and administrative ones."
– from a section about the Vietnam war in the book American Spartans, by James Warren
Is this ringing true again, except in the Middle East.
I'm torn on the Middle East, should we give a flying crap about them building a caliphate, and becoming a giant force? What if their goal is to become powerful enough that everyone will quit inserting themselves into their business. We love freedom, as I'm sure a lot of them would love to have…but what if the majority is fine with business as usual? It's tricky, do we try to enlighten them to western ways by squashing those who oppose freedom?
The problem arises here, they don't want just the Middle East, they want it all, and always have. Martel stopped the Muslim advance in the battle of Tours over 1,300 years ago. The Crusades were partly in response to the Muslim push into Europe. The Ottoman Empire was huge and ruled a large swath for hundreds of years…oh, and the current Middle East map is a result of the west redrawing the map to their liking.
If they would stick to screwing with their own, oh well, that's the way they've always operated. BUT, they are screwing with everyone else…and for that they MUST be crushed down to the person doing the dishes for the radical Islamists.
This harkens back to the book quote…do we understand smart bombs won't do it? Do we understand throwing a bunch of troops at it isn't enough? We NEED a leader who can tell the world the human and moral dimensions we champion are why we have to crush this enemy of the civilized world. If the people feel it IS the right thing to do, then it can be done. But I fear our weak kneed half ass approach will be our ultimate downfall. This goes back far before Obama, what did Carter do about the Iranian embassy takeover? Nothing. What did Reagan do after the Beirut bombing? Nothing. Did Bush 1 finish the job in the gulf war? No. What did Clinton do after the Cole, after the Mogadishu debacle? Nothing. What did Bush 2 do about 9/11…not nearly enough. What is Obama doing about the domino effect taking place now, the ISIS butchers around the world? He is using technology (and limited)…nothing about the human and moral dimensions ever comes out of his mouth. He has so little stomach for war (and love for Islam) that he can't even muster an attempt to convince us to squash this brutal enemy of the whole world.

sometimes we need to show that all EMC Isilon properties which EMC offers and we of course 'sell' are true.
For example: if we sell an Isilon cluster with the property that a protection scheme of +2n withstands the failure of either two hard drive disks or two complete nodes without data loss - than we have to prove that statement. Most of the customers believe that 'as it is' and don't want us to show them. But there are always customers who want to see such features according to compliance tests.
But however - some scenarios are hard to simulate.
How could we simulate a HDD failure? EMC advised against simple pulling HDDs out of the chassis and putting it later back. I think at least we have to wait the FlexProtect job finished and format the disk before putting it back to cluster.
The same for a Node failure. Is just disconnecting the IB cables enough? Or maybe shutting the Node down and shown the customer that all data is still there and accessible with one Node off.
Any ideas or experiences with this kind of compliance tests?
We don't want real data loss caused by a strange compliance test. In that case the customer has to believe what EMC is claiming.
yes that's hard to simulate. No idea (if pulling the disk out is no Option) for the disks but you could simulate the nodefailure by disconnecting the power-cable. this would come closest to a real fail, but a shutdown will be a lot safer and should be "comparable".
No guarantee that you don't damage the node by the powerloss though.
Anybody else who did some tests of the "Isilon high availability promise"?
I need to know which tests are safe to do - and which tests I should better not do to risk data loss or other failures.
If EMC pretends certain properties and functions of their clusters they should be able to describe test scenarios for testing these things.

Q: Can we make a package as serializable We implement java.io.Serializable when our class is acting as model class/passing on network and generally we keep all these classes as one package (Say model). Instead of implementing each class, why can't we make a package can be serialize-able?. Anyways we no need to worry about implementations as its a marker interface. I am thinking to make something like "auto-scan in spring".
Edit
com.mycorepackage.model is package where i have all POJO classes which are mapped to ORM (hibernate) and all classes here are java.io.Serializable. I want to make any class from this package is java.io.Serializable without declaring in each class. THINKING out of the box.

A: There is no way to do this in java since the technical feasibility is questionable.

*

*Where would you write the code that communicates the message 'All classes in this package will implement Serializable'.

*What happens when you include other jars that contain the same package but different classes ?
There is one way to implement it at the IDE level. Write a plugin that provides a menu option similar to Right Click -> Source -> Organize Imports on eclipse. That option organizes the imports for all classes under a tree. You can do something similar for classes that are of interest to you. Although I doubt the option would be widely used, it solves your problem.

Client Need: In June of 2010, a meeting was held with Denver Transit to discuss the feasibility of having decorative Sandscape finish atop a bridge platform. The project consisted of a deck with a highly structural bridge for an expansion project on the Ligh tRail train system. The project had been awarded to Ed Kramer and Sons, but Colorado Hardscapes worked in partnership with them to install the Sandscape finish. The architecture firm, klipp Architecture, felt an important need to maintain a specific aesthetic quality, therefore specified Sandscape on this deck at Wadsworth Station.
Solution: As a result of the meeting held in June, new partnerships with Denver Transit, Ed Kraemer and Sons, RTD and the City of Lakewood evolved. Once coordination, details, scheduling and finishes were established, Colorado Hardscapes contracted with Ed Kraemer and Sons for them to form, reinforce and place the concrete. Colorado Hardscapes was contracted to apply the Sandscape Finish. Ed Kraemer and Sons was able to do what they do best – the structural concrete platform; and Colorado Hardscapes was able to do what they do best – the consistent and decorative finish.
Results: At the end of the project, Michael Fay of Ed Kraemer and Sons stated, "The platform finish came out a success. Your crew's integration with ours went very well and hopefully that will continue to grow on some future work." The deck turned out beautifully and is opening the doors to future work for all involved. In 2013 the rail line officially opened and is used daily by commuters.

The following is adapted from a real estate panel that I spoke on. The contractor who presented during the event discussed important issues that a buyer will want to be aware of before hiring a contractor to make renovations and improvements to their property.
After you close on your purchase, if there is money left over, you may want to make some modifications, repairs, or renovations to your new home. You will probably consult with various contractors who can help you with that process. It is important to select a contractor who understands the laws in your state and locality. Be wary of contractors who offer significantly lower proposals in comparison with other contractors – there may be a lot of "extras" built into their contracts, or maybe they are not familiar with the construction regulations in your area. It can become more costly if they cannot process the permit and other paperwork properly and expeditiously.
When purchasing a coop or condo unit, you will be given an alteration agreement which stipulates exactly what the procedures are for your particular coop or condo, including what can be done and who needs to be insured. The biggest hurdle when dealing with an alteration is getting your plans approved by the Management Company. A contractor who is familiar with the construction process in coops and condos will work with the building to make sure the whole package is presented.
The best timeframe in which to finalize terms with your contractor is to meet with your contractor once you have a closing date set and firm up your plans and define what you want to do, your budget restraints, and discuss a timeline for how long the project will take. The time it will take for the project as well as the cost vary depending upon the scope and kind of work you are looking to do. Also, your taste, quality and whether you want custom designs all have a significance and impact as well. Pricing can vary from $75 to $300 per square foot.
If you have found the foregoing to be valuable, then you may also be interested in hearing more about the panelists and I've included an opportunity for that in the bonus below.

Salvador Dali's Extraordinary Love Life
May 14, 2021 • Dali • Love Stories • Love Story • Salvador Dali
Everyone has their own version of love... The surrealist artist Salvador Dali and Gala Dali's version started in 1929. Salvador met his muse when she was married to a surrealist poet artist named Paul Eluard ..she definitely had a type! They quickly fell in love and she left Paul immediately.
1. Salvador Dali and Gala
The exotic couple got married and their love life together began…Salvador Dali continued to create beautiful artwork with Gala by his side. In the stages of love he once quoted "it is mostly with your blood Gala, that I paint my pictures". As a result Salvador started signing both of their signatures on his paintings.
Salvador knowing exactly who he was, knew he needed to prove his love for gala in every way possible … what better way than buying her, her own castle (1969). Gala knowing exactly who she was, having him under her wing, accepted the exclusive gift only under one condition! As she insisted that Salvador would have to sign a contract stating that he was only allowed to visit her and enter the castle only if she said he was allowed to… should have settled for flowers am I right?

Apparently, the castle wasn't enough for Gala.... as she needed a little more "excitement'' in their relationship, she encouraged Salvador into an open marriage that eventually resulted in the couple hosting regular orgies! It is said the famous singer and actress Cher and her ex husband showed up to their home while an orgy was going on. - lets just say no one can call them bad hosts!
For those wondering, VIII's Art Blogs centers in HOT ART NEWS and ART HISTORY. We love to learn along with you. Thank you for reading so far. - Valeria - & - Rebeka V.
If you are thinking they were wild… this was just the beginning of Gala's excitement. Unfortunately things did not continue well with Salvador as his muse started having affairs and would use his money to buy gifts for her lovers.
Well...Things get toxic sometimes! In 1980 Salvador surprisingly drew the line too right after he was forced to retire due to Palsy (permanent trembling condition/weakness of hands).. becoming less tolerant of Gala's affairs... and beating her up, breaking two of her ribs. As a result to calm things down Gala drugged him using sedatives that eventually resulted in irreversible neurological brain damage.
It is said, love never really dies... when Gala died in 1982 Salvador illegally moved the body in his car from Port Light to Pubol, where she wanted to be buried. The Artist lived many depressing years after the loss of his unfaithful wife.
Before Salvador Dali's death, he put in one final request for a construction of two tombs with a little opening between the two, so that they could hold hands beyond death.

On the campaign trail with Vermin Supreme
Through various people on Facebook, reports on the presidential candidacy of Vermin Supreme.
Vermin Love Supreme is an American performance artist and activist who is known for running as an alternative candidate in various local, state, and national elections in the United States. Supreme is known for wearing a boot as a hat and carrying a large toothbrush. He has said that if elected President of the United States, he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth. He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness (and zombie-based energy plan) and time travel research, and he promises a free pony for every American. Supreme claims to mock the political system.
Supreme, who does not disclose his birth name, was born in and grew up near Boston, Massachusetts and is said to be the oldest of three children. He graduated from Gloucester High School in the 1980s, then moved to Baltimore to attend art school, but he dropped out and began booking bands for underground clubs.
A position statement from Supreme (full of groan-worthy dental puns) can be viewed on YouTube here.
I was of course reminded of the wonderful UK antecedent, Screaming Lord Sutch:
(shown here on an album cover with his band).
David Edward Sutch (10 November 1940 – 16 June 1999), also known as 3rd Earl of Harrow, or simply Screaming Lord Sutch, was an English musician. He was the founder of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and served as its leader from 1983 to 1999, during which time he stood in numerous parliamentary elections. He holds the record for losing all 40 elections in which he stood. As a [famously bad] singer he variously worked with Keith Moon, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Charlie Watts and Nicky Hopkins.
During the 1960s, Screaming Lord Sutch was known for his horror-themed stage show, dressing as Jack the Ripper, pre-dating the shock rock antics of Alice Cooper. Accompanied by his band, the Savages, he started by coming out of a black coffin (once being trapped inside of it, an incident parodied in the film Slade in Flame). Other props included knives and daggers, skulls and "bodies". Sutch booked themed tours, such as 'Sutch and the Roman Empire', where Sutch and the band members would be dressed up as Roman soldiers.
A Jack the Ripper show from 1964 can be viewed in a video here.

Childish Gambino starred in a Google Pixel 3 ad which featured a new song titled 'Human Sacrifice'.
The commercial shows Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover in a dance-off competition with his animated self, highlighting their new "playmoji" feature. "Turn all the lights out/We shine brighter in the dark," the chorus of the song kicks towards the end. Watch it below. There is no word if this song will appear on Gambino's long-awaited new album.
The singer-rapper, who didn't appear at the Grammy ceremony, took home the award for song and record of the year for his hit track, 'This Is America'.
