Q: Cisco Catalyst "Traffic Spanning" not working, multiple methods attempted, not sure what to try next So we have an odd setup here.  Where I work, we have two Nexus 9k switches running our core network - A and B named respectively, and they have span ports which send traffic to a Catalyst 2960-X which in turn relays to another system for traffic monitoring (which only has one NIC unfortunately)
Initially we were using an intermediate VLAN within the Catalyst switch of VLAN 1000 to try and hand off the traffic in a way that'd be properly detected and passed to the traffic monitoring system, such that ports 46, 46, and 47 all had:
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1000

... and this was working.  However, after moving to a new datacenter, keeping the port connections identical, this no longer works.
We also attempted to do this as a Catalyst-local SPAN port as this diagram shows, after deconfiguring the switchport access modes to go to just straight SPAN behavior:

Neither the VLAN / access port method nor the SPAN methods seem to work to pass traffic to the monitoring system.  The interface statistics from show int gig 1/0/45 or show int gig 1/0/46 on the Catalyst show traffic increase and number of packets received as constantly incrementing with the packet counters.  But, this no longer relays traffic over the SPAN in the Cataylst to port 48 - its counters show zero packet activity, and the downstream traffic monitoring system sees no traffic coming over this.
Anyone got any idea in how we can make this work again?  The traffic monitoring system is a dedicated appliance that only has one uplink port, so we can't go and throw an extra NIC into the equation to pump traffic direct to the traffic monitor from each switch via individual NICs, unfortunately...

Catalyst span config:
monitor session 1 source int gig 1/0/45 both
monitor session 1 source int gig 1/0/46 both
monitor session 1 dest int gig 1/0/48

Nexus local span config (identical for both, note this is not an RSPAN setup):
monitor session 1
    source vlan 20-21,121,150,160,270,300,400,500 both
    destination interface Ethernet1/15
    no shut

Note that we can confirm based on the 'receive' rates on the Catalyst's ports 45 and 46 that traffic is coming from the NEXUS and reaching ports 45 and 46 on the Catalyst, it's just not passing the traffic along to span port 48 on the Catalyst from those two ports.

ALso note that VLAN 1000 does not exist anywhere else on the network, and is at this point not in play; the access switchport configs were deleted in an attempt to use standard SPAN instead, though neither mechanism works.  (VLAN 1000 was used as a straight switch-internal-only VLAN to try and trick the system to pass the packets in untagged from from the Nexuses to the port where the monitoring system was in place)

A: Based on the comments, it seems that you had not created the VLAN in the VLAN database on the switch.
Not creating VLANs with the global vlan command for a stand-alone switch is a common source of problems. Switches that use trunks usually have VTP enabled, and the VLAN database will be populated by VTP. With stand-alone switches, and switches in VTP transparent mode, you need to make sure to create the VLANs used on the switch.
This seems to have solved your problem.

Insekticid (latin: insectus, egl. "indskåret" + -cid = "dræbende") eller insektmiddel er gift til bekæmpelse af insekter. Insekticider omfatter også gift mod æg og larver. Det anvendes typisk på fødevarer, landbrugsafgrøder, prydplanter og gavntømmer.

Passende hygiejne, brug af resistente plantesorter eller gammelkendt viden om insekternes naturlige fjender og deres foretrukne nicher kombineret med højteknologi kan dog nedsætte forbruget af disse midler.

Problemet er, at midlerne – foruden at være insektdræbende – også har virkninger på husdyr og mennesker. I mange tilfælde er den akutte giftvirkning temmelig kraftig (se LD50), så der kræves anvendelse af personlige værnemidler. Det forhindrer ikke, at midlerne desuden kan fremkalde meget kraftige langstidsvirkninger i form af arvelige forandringer (mutationer), overfølsomhedsreaktioner (allergier) eller kræft.

Desværre viser langtidsvirkninger sig af gode grunde først efter mange år, og virkningerne af nedbrydningsprodukterne kan være forsinket i endnu nogle år. Dertil kommer, at det ofte kræver undersøgelse af en hel del tilfælde, før man bliver klar over, at det er nedbrydningsprodukter, der er skadevolderne.

For om muligt at begrænse bi-sygdommen CCD har EU i april 2013 indført et to-årigt forbud mod tre  neonicotinoider (clothianidin, imidacloprid og thiametoxam), der er nogle meget anvendte og meget toxiske insekticider.  Neonikotinoiderne er netop fremstillet som neurotoxiner så de virker ikke blot på skadedyr men også på nyttige insekter som honningbier og humlebier. Det er i 2015 rapporteret at neonikotinoiderne i koncentrationer, som forekommer i sprøjtede områder, nedsætter humlebiers hjernefunktion, nedsætter formeringen og sænker kolonistørrelsen.

Insekticidgrupper:
 Klorerede kulbrinter; adskillige er nu forbudt på grund af deres økologiske persistens:
 Aldrin
 Dieldrin
 DDT
 Lindan
 Organofosfor-forbindelser; (svarer kemisk nervegasser)
 Diazinon
 Malathion
 Udviklet fra naturlige plantetoksiner eller analoge forbindelser:
 Derris (rotenon)
 Neonikotinoider
 Pyrethrum
 Pyrethroider

 Andre:
 Cypermethrin

Jill Anna Maria Johnson, folkbokförd Johnsson, född 24 maj 1973 i Ängelholm, är en svensk countrysångerska och låtskrivare.

Biografi

Uppväxt och tidig karriär
Jill Johnson är född och uppvuxen i Ängelholm. Som 12-åring antogs hon som vokalist i en countrygrupp, Tomboola Band, som turnerade i Danmark och Norge. Hon debuterade på en countrygala i Danmark vid 14 års ålder. 1986 medverkade hon även i Barnens dags talangjakt, nya ansikten. Några år senare fick hon ett svenskt skivkontrakt som aldrig ledde till några större framgångar. Hon sjöng även på två låtar med dansbandet Jan Andys. Som 20-åring sjöng hon covers med ett band från Helsingborg då hon fick ett skivkontrakt med danska EMI, där samarbetet med den danske producenten Poul Bruun 1996 resulterade i hennes debutalbum Sugartree. Titelspåret blev en hitlåt i Danmark, och albumet gick in på första plats på danska topplistan.

1996 spelade hon in melodin "Kommer tid, kommer vår" i duett med Jan Johansen, och den blev en stor radiohit i Sverige. Med den fick hon för första gången in en melodi på Svensktoppen, och de två for ut på folkparksturné.

1997 uppträdde hon som gästartist med sången "Hakuna matata" från Disneyfilmen Lejonkungen i TV-programmet Småstjärnorna. Hon reste även som fältartist med löjtnants grad till Bosnien 1997–1998 för att underhålla de fredsbevarande styrkorna.

Genombrottet (1998–2003)
Det stora genombrottet kom med vinsten i den svenska Melodifestivalen 1998, där hon deltog med låten "Kärleken är", som vann över melodier från då etablerade artister som Nanne Grönvall och Myrra Malmberg, och slutade på 10:e plats i Eurovision Song Contest 1998. Sångtexten var inspirerad av stämningen efter det att prinsessan Diana omkom i en bilolycka i Frankrike den 31 augusti 1997, vilket fick stor uppmärksamhet i brittisk media. Den 10 maj 1998 släpptes hennes andra album, När hela världen ser på, och en framgångsrik turné följde.

I mitten av 1999 for Jill Johnson till Los Angeles för att skaffa material till sitt kommande album. I Sverige arbetade hon med Andreas Carlsson (som senare utsågs till "ASCAP Writer of the Year 2000"), berömd för att ligga bakom flera hitlåtar, bland annat "That's the Way It Is" av Celine Dion.

Den 30 november 2000 släpptes hennes tredje album, Daughter of Eve, med låtar som "Daughter of Eve" och "Secrets of My Life" och albumet fick bra kritik. Under andra halvan av år 2000 började hon tillsammans med låtskrivare utveckla sina idéer, till ett mer "eget" sound. Hon skaffade sig senare förlagskontrakt i Nashville, Scott Bagget, och 2002 resulterade det i albumet Good Girl. Samma år fick Jill Johnson även ta emot en platinaskiva i Danmark för soundtracket "Promise to Love Me", till den danska filmen Den eneste ene.

2003 och framåt
Även om vinnarmelodin i Melodifestivalen 1998, "Kärleken är", var en pop-schlager-ballad, så är Johnson i första hand en countryartist. Detta märktes 2003 då hon igen deltog i den svenska Melodifestivalen, denna gång med den countryinfluerade pop-schlagerlåten "Crazy in Love". Bidraget slutade på fjärde plats i finalen i Globen, men blev en stor hitlåt, bland annat på Svensktoppen där reglerna ändrats just 2003, så att det tidigare kravet på sång på svenska slopats till förmån för sång på valfritt språk. Den låg också på flera andra radiolistor. Under åren efter det har hon turnerat och spelat in nytt material. Hon har flera gånger rest till den för countrymusik berömda staden Nashville.

I april 2003 släpptes samlingen Discography, med de 20 mest önskade melodierna sedan skivdebuten 1996. Albumet sålde guld på ett par månader, och Jill Johnson mottog även en Grammis för detta album i den 2003 inrättade kategorin "Årets schlager/dansband".

I mitten av 2003 for hon ut på turnén En tokkär turné, som drog mycket folk och fick bra kritik. Nästa framgång blev "Rhapsody in Rock" på Nya Ullevi inför 43 000 personer den 9 augusti 2003. Senare under 2003 for hon till Nashville för att färdigställa albumet Roots and Wings, som släpptes den 26 november 2003. Med sig på den sista resan inför albumsläppet hade hon ett filmteam, som gjorde en dokumentär om Jill Johnson som sändes i TV4 i januari 2004. Albumet fick bra kritik, och sålde guld på mindre än två veckor och platina kort därefter. DVD:n The making of Roots and Wings släpptes vid samma tidpunkt, på vilken tittaren får se från inspelningarna i Nashville.

I april och maj 2004 åkte Johnson och hennes musiker runt på unpluggedturnén Roots and Wings i konserthus runt om i Sverige. Mycket publik kom, och de fick bra kritik för mixen av country och anekdoter från Nashville. I mitten av 2004 medverkade hon i Robert Wells turné Rhapsody in Rock. Samma år spelade hon även in melodin "Last Thing on My Mind" i en duett med Ronan Keating, och den blev populär i radio.

Senare under 2004 hade Disneyfilmen Home on the Range premiär i Sverige under titeln Kogänget och Jill Johnson sjöng då de svenskspråkiga versionerna av sångerna "Little Patch of Heaven" (som "Mitt paradis på Jorden") och "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again?" (som "Ska det nånsin bli sol igen?").

2005 var hon tillsammans med Mark Levengood programledare för finalen av Melodifestivalen 2005 i Globen. Den 23 mars 2005 släppte hon albumet Being Who You Are, som snabbt sålde guld och singlarna "God Bless a Girl in Love", "A Little Bit More" och "Baby You're Mine" låg länge högt på såväl singellistan som "Music Control". I mitten av 2005, med start den 1 juli i Skellefteå, genomförde hon en turné på 18 platser runtom i Sverige. I december 2005 släppte hon julalbumet The Christmas in You, som spelats in med musiker i Nashville. Albumet innehöll både nyskrivna melodier och hennes egna favoriter. I samband med detta gjorde hon en egen julshow i "Hasses Lada" i Båstad, samt var TV4:s så kallade "julartist" detta år.

År 2006 spelade hon sig själv i långfilmen Heartbreak Hotel av Colin Nutley, och i samband med det släpptes även EP:n med samma namn. I mitten av 2006 for hon ut på turnén Rocktåget med Thomas Ledin och Andreas Johnson.

Den 25 oktober 2006 släppte hon albumet The Woman I've Become, som inledde samarbetet med Nashvilleproducenten Nathan Chapman och hans musiker. Flera låtar skrevs av och med kvinnor, där vardagliga händelser ofta låg till grund för sångtexterna. Inom Nashvilles musikliv var intresset för albumet stort, bland annat medverkade Buddy Miller, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Lauren Lucas, Stephanie Chapman och Pat Mc Laughlin som körsångare. "Cowboy Up" blev första singel ut. En annan låt på albumet hon skrev, "Too Late to Be Drinkin'", har senare fått en text på svenska av Chris Andersen, "För sent för ett glas", som spelats in av dansbandet Sannex.

Den 28 november 2007 släppte hon Music Row, ett coveralbum inspelat i Nashville. Albumet, som sålde guld i Sverige, innehöll tre duetter: "Why'd You Come in Here Looking Like That" med Nina Persson, "Tumbling Dice" med Kim Carnes och "To Know Him Is to Love Him" med Lisa Miskovsky. Första singel ut, och den stora hitlåten från albumet, var dock "Angel of the Morning". I samband med albumets utgivning turnerade hon också.

Den 28 oktober 2008 släppte hon albumet Baby Blue Paper, som också det följdes av konsertturné, Baby Blue Paper Unplugged Tour 2009, i början av 2009. Den 28 oktober 2009 släppte hon coveralbumet Music Row II, som följdes av konsertturné 2010. Den 27 oktober 2010 släppte hon samlingsboxalbumet The Well-Known And Some Other Favourite Stories. Den 28 september 2011 släpptes albumet Flirting with Disaster som följs av en konsertturné under våren 2012. 2011 släppte hon även julalbumet Välkommen jul, samt medverkade i SVT:s Luciafirande den 13 december där hon framförde sångerna "Away in a Manger" och "I väntan på julen" ("Greensleeves").

Under sommaren 2012 genomfördes en liten "Sommer Set Tour" baserad på föregående album, men även med nya låtar från kommande album. Den 7 november 2012 släpptes 17:e albumet A Woman Can Change Her Mind. Under våren 2013 gjorde Jill Johnson 8 exklusiva spelningar på åtta specifika orter. I januari 2014 hade Jill Johnsson premiär på sin första egna krogshow Jill på Hamburger Börs i Stockholm. Vid samma tid, i början av 2014, sändes programserien Jills veranda på SVT1. De sex programmen var inspelade i Nashville med Jill som värdinna och svenska artister som gäster. Hon vann Kristallen 2014 som "årets kvinnliga programledare". Jills veranda fick två uppföljande säsonger som sändes 2015 och 2017. Livemusiken från Jills veranda släpptes även på tre separata musikalbum.

År 2019 släppte Johnson bland annat singeln "Is It Hard Being A Man?" som vecka 14 gick in på Svensktoppen. Det var hennes första låt på tre år som gick in på listan. Samma år åkte Johnson ut på en klubbturné. Turnén som hade namnet "My Remedy Tour" gästade 15 städer och hade premiär 8 mars på KB i Malmö. Den 18 augusti 2019 var Jill Johnson värd för Sommar i P1.

Johnson spelar rollen som Camilla i tv-serien Udda veckor som är planerad att sändas på Discovery+ under våren 2021. Det blir första gången som hon spelar en fiktiv roll.

Privatliv
Jill Johnson var från 1999 till 2017 gift med musikern Håkan Werner och har bott i Vänga i Fristad utanför Borås. Paret separerade i början av 2016. Tillsammans har paret två döttrar. Jill har sedan 2018 en relation med organisationspsykologen Mattias Elg.

On the 28th of July An Post commemorates the longest defined coastal touring route in the world, the Wild Atlantic Way.
It meanders along 2,500 km (1553 miles) from the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal up in the north, right down south to Kinsale in Co. Cork. This route gives visitors the opportunity to truly discover the wild west of Ireland. It has some of the most dramatic and dazzling coastal views in the world and includes more than 150 discovery points along the way. These points of interest come from different perspectives of culture, history, nature or natural history.
The Wild Atlantic Way (Irish: Slí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin) passes through nine counties and three provinces, and is quickly becoming one of the world's great driving routes and tourist attractions.
These new stamps were created by Red & Grey Design and feature horse riding on the coast at Grange, Co. Sligo; cycling on the Aran Islands, Co. Galway; fly fishing at Glenbeg Lough, Co.Cork and surfing at Inch, Co.Kerry.

World Fine Art Professionals and their Key-Pieces, 310 - Santiago Ribeiro
World Fine Art Professionals and their Key-Pieces, 310 – Santiago Ribeiro
Santiago Ribeiro explores the subject of human behavior in various scenarios. He uses the current of 21st-century surrealism with a lot of imagination, he says.
How did he end up with surrealism? Santiago: "It has always been a topic that I have debated since I realized or since I started socializing. This made me look at history and prehistory looking for answers."
santiago ribeiro – 2-
Self-taught artist
Santiago Ribeiro was born in a little village close to Coimbra, Condeixa-a-Nova. He went to school in Coimbra and did his further studies there, including at the University of Coinbra and an Art & Craft study.
santiago – 3-
But basically he is a self-taught artist. "Actually, I was only sixteen when I produced my first oil painting. Since then, painting became my profession and I started selling my paintings to make a living. I attended a couple of art schools but I dropped out because I enjoyed painting more than going to classes. It was difficult to coordinate school and work. Yet, although I was self-taught, I consider that attending art classes was very helpful to my artistic development."
40 art books
As a child he was already drawing and painting. "I started painting as a child and continued experimenting mostly with primary colors. It all began after my father brought home a library of 40 art books with illustrations from the Middle Ages throughout the classics of the Renaissance to the masters of Impressionism and Surrealism and other contemporary modern artists. At the time, I couldn't read the books but I was fascinated by the imagery. I remember being particularly captivated by the fantastic allegories of Hieronymus Bosch as well as the impressionist and surrealist art forms. Studying those illustrations was my first painting lesson because they inspired me to start painting on my own."
He always was a surrealist painter, he thinks: "Surrealism draws from dreams, the imaginary and the subconscious. In other words, I was a surrealist painter before I realized what Surrealism was. I only became aware of Freud's theories of dreams and Surrealism as an art form later in my career. This is to say that, like many other surrealist painters, Hieronymus Bosch included, I was creating surrealist imagery as a way of expressing myself not being aware of Surrealism as an art form."
International Surrealism Now project
In 2010, Santiago Ribeiro founded the 'International Surrealism Now' project, a collective exhibitions series dedicated to showcasing Surrealism as an art form. Based in dreams and visions, Santiago's surrealist imagery surprises, puzzles and triggers mixed feelings. His paintings have been described as "complex compositions illustrating deep concerns about modern society and its individual and collective behavior."
He got the idea when he realized the power of the internet to communicate and connect with fellow artists and the public. "Through the internet, I found out we could organize projects collectively with local institutions and groups worldwide. We started working with local artists promoting inclusive group events open to diverse artistic expressions such as poetry, music, multimedia and dance events. Our first group initiative took place in 2008 when we organized an international collective exhibit at the Casa Museu Bissaya Barreto, in Coimbra. This event led to broader initiatives and to the creation in 2010 of the 'International Surrealism Now' project."
Surrealism allows for absolute unlimited unrestrained freedom, he says. "Surrealist painters tend to absorbed all kinds of influences from all kinds of art forms. It also allows for individuality and diversity. Each one of us ends up developing our own unique style, creating original paintings that are truly distinctive. Like most surrealist painters, I have developed my own distinctive technique and style. Yet, because we all share common traits, we end up being labeled as "surrealist" artists.
Santiago Ribeiro is very successful. He has shows all over the world. For instance in the United States (Dallas, Los Angeles and Mississippi), Berlin, Moscow, Warsaw, Nantes, Paris, Madrid, Granada, Barcelona, Lisbon, Japan, Taiwan and Brasil.
santiago – 10
Rationality and feeling
Finally: surrealism is already a great philosophy, does he have a personal touch to add to that? Santiago Ribeiro: "I find it special to do my work in a combination of rationality and feeling. Art can only be felt and performed from person to person."

Texans brace for Jade Helm 15, massive federal military exercise
About half of Texans are concerned about Jade Helm 15, this week's federal military exercise across the American southwest. Many conspiracy theories advanced by right-wing groups have driven these concerns.
Even the governor is encouraging state troops to monitor Jade Helm, which is largely subject to a media blackout. Conspiracy theories about the goals of Jade Helm 15 include imposition of martial law, an unannounced asteroid impact, or part of a plan to take away guns from private citizens. Jon Stewart tried valiantly to put things in perspective when Jade Helm was announced, but the folks who believe guys like Jon Stewart and guys like Alex Jones don't have a huge overlap.

PHILADELPHIA (CNN) — President Barack Obama made a fervent plea for Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, casting the Democratic nominee as a custodian of his legacy while rejecting Republicans' message as fostering anger and hate.
Ahead of Obama's speech, aides said the President was intent on highlighting the aspects of Clinton's record he feels have been overlooked through the years, including her work protecting children and her dogged work as his secretary of state.
Obama worked with White House speechwriter Cody Keenan on the address for three weeks, going through six drafts. The most recent draft came after First Lady Michelle Obama's well-received speech on Monday night, which had the President up until 3 a.m. on Tuesday re-writing, White House officials said.
Michelle Obama endorsed her husband's speech.
"That's my man! Your truth, dignity and grace reminds us what real leadership looks like. I am always proud of our @POTUS." she tweeted.
The President had debated whether he should do a point-by-point policy speech but decided to talk about themes of America given how unconventional the election has become.
He also acknowledged that many Democrats remain wary of their party's nominee.
And he offered a nod to the supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, many of whom remain bitterly disappointed in their candidate's loss to Clinton in this year's primary contests.
Detailing Clinton's record, Obama said the former top diplomat had the best view of what it takes to occupy the Oval Office.
Speaking to what's likely to be the largest remaining audience of his presidency, Obama recalled the moment 12 years ago to the day that thrust him onto the national stage. And he insisted the country was better off now than when he first entered office in 2009.

Q: Bound on diagonal entries of inverse matrix If a complex hermitian matrix $A$ is invertible, and all its diagonal entries are real and $\ge 1$, is it true that all the diagonal entries of $A^{-1}$ are real and $\le 1$?

A: No. Let $Q$ be a real $n\times n$ orthogonal matrix whose first column is $\frac1{\sqrt{n}}(1,1,\ldots,1)^T$. Then $A=Q(n\oplus\epsilon I_{n-1})Q^T$ is a counterexample when $\epsilon>0$ is sufficiently small.
Conceptually, the inverse of a positive definite but nearly singular matrix must have a large positive eigenvalue. Hence its trace is also large and in turn at least one of its diagonal entry is large.


I'm really hoping you can help me. I've recently joined an e-commerce company as a content writer and am to write product descriptions, landing page content, long-form blog posts, etc. All is good there. BUT… I think there are HUGE flaws in what they are doing with URLs, Product Names, Title Tags, etc.
To protect the company's reputation, I'm going to use a made up company to explain what's going on and hope some of the experts here can provide guidance.
Company sells 10,000 different styles of watches.
Note that neither "watch," nor "wrist watch," appear in the URL.
The product names also serve as the H1, so no mention of "wrist watch," or "watch," there.
The company's SEO expert has been with the company for a very long time and has a very close relationship with the owner. The SEO guy is adamant that we not include "wrist watch" in the product names or in the URLS (not even for new products going up that would have no external links pointing at them).
He has agreed to change the title tags, but some will include "watch," some will include "wrist watch," and others will include "time piece," depending upon how many characters, when added to the product name, will equal 70.
As for the H1, he's agreed to add the term "watch," to each of 10,000 SKUs, but not "wrist watch," (which is 90% of searches).
The SEO guy tells me that it is unimportant to have "wrist watch" in our product names, might even be detrimental to have the term in there as it could be seen as keyword stuffing, and an absolute no-no to have them in the URLs (even for new products).
Currently, for the search term "wrist watch," we show up on page 3 or 4. All of our competitors, including newer businesses, businesses with fewer products, companies just not as good as us are kicking our butts. They all use the term "wrist watch" in their URLs, Product Names, Title Tags, H1s, etc.
Most of them have worse descriptions than ours (one uses the exact same description for every product). Many of them do have more links than we do… but not all. SEO guy tells me our poor results are mostly due to not enough links… so I have to write content that other sites will link to.
Should I not focus energy on Yahoo SEO right now?

The Battle of Salicha was a clash between Polish insurgent forces and units of the Imperial Russian Army during the January Uprising. It took place on May 26, 1863 near the village of Salicha (Salikha), Russian Empire (the village now lies in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine). Insurgent forces were commanded by Edmund Różycki, and the battle ended in Polish victory.

Edmund Różycki, a talented Polish military officer, was tasked with carrying the uprising into Volhynia, Podolia and Ukraine, provinces of the Kingdom of Poland before the late-18th-century Partitions of Poland. Różycki agreed, on the condition that Józef Wysocki of Warsaw's National Government provides military support from eastern Galicia.

On May 8, 1863, Różycki together with his party marched from Żytomierz (today Zhytomyr) and headed westwards, to Galicia (Austrian Partition of Poland), hoping to meet reinforcements along the way. After a few days, the insurgents reached Starokonstantynów (today Starokostiantyniv) and their situation became desperate. No reinforcements arrived, other insurgent units in Ukraine had been destroyed by the Russians, and Poles were chased by three Russian units. Finally, on May 26 near the village of Salicha, the insurgents faced a much stronger and better-equipped detachment of the Imperial Russian Army.

Altogether, Polish forces had some 260 men, while Russians had 720 soldiers, including 120 Cossacks. Różycki decided to use the element of surprise, attacking Russian infantry before it got off their wagons. The insurgents carried out a ferocious attack, with scythes and bayonets. Russian forces were dispersed, and additional units of the Russian Army, which arrived to the battlefield, did not attack the Poles, fearing another defeat.

After the battle, Różycki and his men waited for two more days, hoping that the promised Galician reinforcements would join them. Since they did not arrive, the insurgents decided to enter Austrian territory, where their unit was dissolved.
