Q: SAN - Getting Started and purchasing advice Can anybody recommend some good places to get started for learning how SANs operate and the differentiating factors to take into account when shopping for them? I have been tasked with recommending and purchasing a SAN and would appreciate any advice the experts here can give.

A: If you like reading Using SANs and NAS is a good introductory book. There are some others that go well beyond that which I will add later.
SNIA has some resources including a Storage Networking & Information Management Primer and they offer training which isn't vendor specific:

*

*SNIA Technical Tutorials

*SNIA Storage Network Foundations Course

*Storage Networking Certification Program (SNCP)
FastLane also have a Storage Foundation (SAN) course which appears to be vendor independent.
To get a handle on the different technologies used by the Vendors go to their websites and start researching or contact them and talk to their techs. If you are able to, go and visit their technology centres and see the gear and software in action - I have learnt a lot by just talking to the vendors and taking notes of what they say which is always good for comparing and contrasting the different approaches they take.
If you have got the budget find a trusted third party consultant and engage them as a learning resource and sounding board. We found that really valuable when we started our SAN purchasing especially for interpreting the vendor spin that we had to deal with. If you don't have the budget try and find other companies or organisations in your area that have storage experience and ask them as most people will be willing to share information.
Some things to note and look out for when dealing with storage companies are:

*

*Before you start you need to have an idea of which systems and applications you are looking to host on the storage. As Chopper3 has said in his answer do this in the context of performance (throughput and IOPS), availability, capacity and cost. This will put you in a much better position than purely capacity based purchases.

*Consider how the hosts may be attached as a guide to which networking technology to look at, i.e. FC, NFS, iSCSI, FCOE, DCE etc. This may be guided by the vendor you choose and your own internal networking experience and capability. Though many of the vendors claim they can do all of this you need to understand the tradeoffs and capabilities of each approach.

*Understand how the software is costed and licensed, is it by capacity, by array, by attached host etc.

*Understand how they calculate usable capacity and make sure that is the same as your requirements.

*To avoid sticker shock later on:

*

*Ask how much drive, shelf and array and cache upgrades cost - including minimum purchases.

*Ask how much support and warranty upgrades cost - you might start at standard and want to move to premium later.

*Try and include as much capability and software you think you need upfront (such as snapshots or replication) as the sticker shock for adding this afterwards can be tremendous. The discounts for this tend to be better on the initial purchase - again sticker shock.

*If high availability is important ask about the non-disruptive impact of the following. Keep in mind common maintenance tasks as well as unplanned outages. Non-disruptive can mean different things to different vendors:

*

*Impact of controller, processor or cache failures.

*Impact of disk, disk shelf or connector failures.

*Impact of applying firmware or microcode updates.

*Impact of adding or removing disks and disk shelves.

*Impact of adding or removing controllers, processors or cache memory.

A: You need to decide which two of the following three characteristics are most important to you as you can't have all three;

*

*High Performance

*High Availability

*Low Cost

Once you've figured out these priorities you'll be far better armed to ask more specific questions. It also might be worth searching on this site for a few keywords as there's been a lot of vaguely similar ones asked previously.

A: I like StorageMojo for a lot of discussion about large-scale storage and SANs.

The overuse of Kobe Bryant may cause his 'Farewell Tour' to end in tragic fashion
by thedonaldgeenba
With Kobe Bryant's recent announcement that he'll be retiring at the end of the year, fans began to prepare for his 'Farewell' tour. Bryant made it a top priority to try and play in every game this season in order to give the fans one last look of him on the court.
Still, 20 years into his career Kobe puts the enjoyment of the crowd above his own personal health. Bryant has always publicly thought along the lines of, "When I go into an arena, this might be a kids first ever game" so it's no surprise how determined he is to play if possible.
However, the recent spike in Kobe's minutes since announcing his retirement is a cause for major concern. Last year in the 35 games Bryant played before going down with a season ending rotator cuff tear, he averaged 34.5 minutes per game. In the 16 games he's played this season he's just under 32 minutes at 31.6 minutes per game. But since Bryant announced his retirement his minutes have jumped a bit to 34.0 minutes per game. Kobe hasn't played less than 30 minutes in a full game since November 24th against Golden State (He played 25 minutes through 3 quarters against the Pistons before bowing out due to illness).
Being a 37 year old NBA player with over 47,000 career minutes played, and coming off TWO season ending injuries, this is not ideal to say the least. Bryant's body can't take the constant pounding and effort required to be consistently productive. Bryant also moved to the SF spot this season, which requires him to guard stronger, sometimes taller, more physical guys. 86% of his time on the court he is at the small forward spot, and only 14% at his natural shooting guard spot (His highest average at the SF spot since his rookie year). The heavy minutes, tough defensive assignments, offensive workload Kobe has, or thinks he has, and age are definitely not working in Kobe's favor.
Sunday night against Detroit there was speculation Bryant might not play due to not feeling well. In the middle of a long road trip, and having a back to back that which started tonight in Detroit, Kobe should not have played tonight. Bryant already has to battle his body, soreness, and fatigue nightly. Being under the weather would only make him a bigger liability on the floor. And it showed. In the first half, Kobe was 0-7 from the field, 0-3 from deep, had only 1 rebound and assist, 2 turnovers, and went scoreless. The Lakers trailed by 23 at the half, 65-42.
As this season began to develop, we all knew the Lakers would not be battling for a playoffs stop. So many questioned why Byron Scott is playing Kobe 30+ minutes in meaningless games like the one tonight.
With the season's focus shifting to Kobe's farewell tour, you would think the top priority would be keeping Bryant healthy, active, feeling good, and available to play in each game. During the 2012-2013 NBA season, Kobe averaged 29.4 minutes per game before suffering a season ending injury. Last year in 35 games played, Bryant averaged 34.5 minutes per game before suffering a season ending injury. This season? 31.6, which has jumped to 34.0 after Kobe announced he'll be retiring when the season is over.
You can see the trend here. Sunday night against Detroit, Bryant logged in 25:35 minutes in only 3 quarters of play. Bryant left the game after playing the whole third quarter with stomach problems. After the game, Bryant had to receive an IV in his arm. Not to mention this is the first of a back to back and Scott hasn't ruled out Kobe for tomorrow against Toronto.
The Lakers are 3-17. There are 62 games left this season and Bryant's body is already failing him. Back problems, constant soreness, and now stomach issues requiring an IV after another meaningless game. With the way this year is going and the heavy minutes Kobe Bryant has been playing of late, I fear we'll have to bid farewell to Kobe Bryant due to injury, and not when the season ends on April 12th vs. Utah.

Home Economic Policy The Real Reason Social Security Is the Third Rail of American Politics
The Real Reason Social Security Is the Third Rail of American Politics
Chris Christie still harbors hopes of becoming the Republican nominee for president, and in search of a way to convince conservatives that he's one of them-and reinforce the idea that he's a bold truth-teller who doesn't care whose feathers he ruffles, and you might not agree with him but you'll always know he's telling it like it is-Christie has announced a plan to cut Social Security benefits. He would do it in two ways. First, he would means-test benefits, reducing them for those who have over $80,000 in income and phasing them out entirely past $200,000 in income. Second, he would raise the retirement age to 69 (it's currently 66 and will soon rise to 67).
As Matt Yglesias explains, the cut in upper-income benefits is getting most of the attention, which works to Christie's benefit because it sounds like his plan hurts rich people. But in fact, the number of people affected would be fairly small, while increasing the retirement age would be devastating to people of modest incomes. That's particularly true of people who do manual labor, which in your late 60s becomes increasingly difficult. So Christie is proposing a plan that is actually an attack on retired poor and middle-class people, but it's being described as an attack on the rich.
I should point out that even means-testing benefits can be a clever way to undermine the program as a whole. It eliminates the understanding that it's a program for everyone and instead changes it to a program just for people of modest incomes, which then opens it up to further cuts and changes in the future. This is why most liberals oppose means-testing, even though it sounds like something they would support.
In any case, I want to return to this idea that Chris Christie is willing to tell the hard truths. Every story about Social Security mentions that it is the "third rail of American politics," meaning you can't touch it without being zapped. Anyone who would do so naturally deserves praise for their courage and for doing what's right despite the risk. But why is touching Social Security dangerous?
It isn't because of some magical incantation that FDR spoke over the bill as he signed it. It's because, with the possible exception of Medicare, Social Security is the most successful and therefore beloved social program in American history. Before Social Security, aging was almost a guarantee of falling into poverty. If you're below a certain age, you've probably never heard the cliché of old ladies eating cat food to survive, but at one time in America that was an actual thing.
But don't we need to do something before Social Security goes broke? No. Social Security is not going broke, and if we want to fix the funding problems that we will confront a few decades from now there are relatively easy ways to do it; I discussed that years ago in this piece, and not much has changed since.
But back to Christie: Is it courageous to propose a policy change that would be tremendously cruel to millions of Americans? I guess it is in a way. But that doesn't make it praiseworthy.

About LLU
SBH News
Loma Linda University's rich history of providing health care in the community began with the inception of the Schools of Medicine and Nursing in 1909. The need for quality health care expanded into the area of behavioral health in the mid-1950s, when Loma Linda University (then known as the College of Medical Evangelists) began to formally address the behavioral health needs of the community in an academic setting. Well ahead of its time, Loma Linda University established the Master of Arts in Family Life Education and the Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy in the autumn of 1954. The MFT program is now one of several degree programs housed in the Department of Counseling and Family Sciences.
During the mid-1970s, the university increased its emphasis on the importance of whole person care, focusing on a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach to working with clients. The university subsequently expanded its behavioral health care programs to include the Department of Psychology and the Department of Social Work and Social Ecology in order to meet the needs of the community.
The mission of the School of Behavioral Health is "to provide a spiritually supportive context for teaching, clinical practice, and research innovation that pursues integrative behavioral health aimed at reducing health disparities and promoting social justice in a global context locally and globally."
This mission is underpinned by Loma Linda University's commitment to the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Transformation of a student is seen as an integral part of the learning process which encourages the highest levels of scholarship, professionalism, and spiritual well-being. This pursuit encourages a greater understanding and promotion of healthy minds, families, communities, and social systems.
University Mission & Values

Our Local Impact
The professional degree programs in the School of Behavioral Health have a long and impressive heritage of serving the people and organizations of the Inland Empire. Over 3,000 graduates from the School's programs have, according to local public providers, "changed the context of professional practice in the Inland Empire."
Regardless of the degree program, students are provided with content and advanced clinical learning experiences that reflect the current practice and professional knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes needed for competent practice in behavioral health including, but not limited to:
Professional and personal self-care
Ethical and professional standards of conduct and behavior
Legal and statutory mandates affecting practice
Clinical knowledge shared and specific to disciplines

733.5 Higuera St.
Dog-Friendly: Yes Kid-Friendly: Yes
History: According to the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Improvement Association, the origin of the gum is "a little sketchy". Some historians believe that the tradition of the alley started after WWII as a San Luis Obispo High School graduating class event. Others believe it started in the late 1950s, as rivalry between San Luis Obispo High School and California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) students. By the 1970s, Bubblegum Alley was well established. When shop owners complained that it was "unsanitary and disgusting", the alley underwent a full cleaning. The gum graffiti survived two full cleanings in the 1970s. In 1996, the BIA unsuccessfully attempted to have another alley cleaning.
Recognition: Throughout the years, San Luis Obispo's Bubblegum Alley has been featured on a number of television shows, news programs, and in newspapers around the world. Newspapers such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times have addressed the disgusts and delights of the gum wall visitors. Other newspaper articles have appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, the Grand Rapids Press in Michigan, the Times Union from Albany, New York, and The Guardian in the United Kingdom. KSBY Action 6 News did a story about the alleyway and broadcast it nationally. TV crews filmed the alley for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, That's Incredible!, Real People, and on PBS. MTV featured Bubblegum Alley in the show Call to Greatness. The crew picked Bubblegum Alley to film the episode on breaking the world record for largest bubblegum bubble. It featured record holder Susan "Chewsy Suzy" Williams, and at the end of the show a graphic was shown that said that while she was there she blew a 24-inch (610 mm) bubble, which was not shown on television. (Her record bubble, which was blown on national TV in 1996, was 23 inches.) ABC's Ripley's Believe It or Not also aired a story on October 14, 1984 about the alley. It was also featured on an episode of The Girls Next Door on E! and mentioned in an episode of "United States of Tara".
Books: In chapter seventeen of the novel Mr. Monk On the Road by Lee Goldberg, Bubblegum Alley is mentioned, described, and forms the setting for Monk's discovery of a dead body. Bubblegum Alley is also mentioned throughout Megan McDonald's book "Judy Moody: Around the World in 8 and a Half Days".
Music: "Weird Al" Yankovic name-checked Bubblegum Alley in his 1978 song "Take Me Down," an ode to San Luis Obispo.
Traditions and myths: An alleyway full of over-chewed, 40-year-old bubble gum sounds unpleasant, but contrary to that belief many have started their own gummy traditions to keep this alleyway a must-see. One obvious tradition is the different fraternity and sorority letters. Another tradition that might confuse someone unfamiliar with the area is the variety of numbers lining the walls. To most people they may seem like a random assortment of numbers, but to any Cal Poly student these numbers represent Week of Welcome (or WOW) numbers. WOW is the first week before school starts in the fall for incoming freshmen; each WOW group has a different number and the leaders of each group take their students to Bubblegum Alley to leave their first mark on the city. Some just stick their gum on the overloaded walls while others leave their group number.
Professional artists: The Alley has inspired professional artists such as Matthew Hoffman. On the east end of the alley, up high on the north-facing wall, a giant self-portrait of Hoffman titled "Projectbubble Gum" is created entirely with bubble gum. The picture of the artist blowing a bubble required a tremendous amount of gum, which he was able to get with the help of the community. His theory is, "if an individual participates in their community they will earn an invested interest in their community. The community chewed the bubblegum, and many individuals [felt] as though they were a part of its creation. This instills a sense of stewardship in one's community".Even the robotics Team 1717, featured in the book The New Cool (book), is depicted in neon blue gum.
"Projectbubble Gum" is the largest piece in the Alley and is higher up than most to ensure its survival.
Personal Experience: This is a very short adventure, mainly for photographs I would imagine. This alley is in the heart of SLO's (San Luis Obispo) downtown so there is plenty of shopping you can do. The Madonna Inn is 5 minutes away too so if you're in the area make sure to scope it out!

XP has long held the most market share out of any operating system. That was the case until it was overtaken in August by Windows 7 and a small margin. However, that once tiny margin has continued to grow and Windows 7 is now nearly 3 percent higher than XP in terms of market share and it shows no signs of stopping.
For the month of September, Windows 7 saw 44 percent of all web traffic, as recorded by Net Applications. XP was a close second, taking 41.2 percent. XP was a great operating system when it came out and businesses, who are slow to change, flocked to the operating system. Now, 10 years later, those businesses have reached their refresh cycle and are starting to upgrade to Windows 7-based devices.
Microsoft is helping to push the transition along, making Internet Explorer 9 and 10 not supported on the older operating system. The long-term support will also cease in April 2014, so users will no longer receive patches and bug fixes. Microsoft is also pushing the end of Vista, but not as hard as it only has 6 percent of the market.


← What is your Gratification?
It shouldn't be difficult thinking of what constitutes good health and well being. Some people constantly worry so much over it that they suffer a big burden to their health, which is stress. That is why people should not take nutrition and exercise religiously. People should probably not take anything religiously, unless taking something religiously gives you satisfaction in life that you will be happy you did on your deathbed.
People should instinctively know what they should do to be healthy. I think that most of our mainstream media and medical advice steers us in the wrong direction. I am certain, as many of you are, that what we are told to be good, healthy and right by the government, certain groups and doctors is misleading, false and counterintuitive to our own good and health. I am certain that most people know this due to them just living long enough to have some wisdom. So why don't people decide on their own what is good for them? Instead most people follow whatever the "man" says. This is why most people stress so much. They get so much false and conflicting information that they forget instinctually what is good for them.
Putting politics and religion aside, I would like to discuss what constitutes good health. If you think about it, people never ate "fake" and processed foods for thousands if not a couple million of years through our evolution. Humans also never genetically developed to eating foods that caused irritation to their organs. People never even stressed constantly about life burdens.
Every species of animal has a specific diet that accompanies their genetic code. Humans are no exception. It's strange to me that we even have dieticians and nutritionists who we pay and who tell us what we should be eating. Shouldn't we already know naturally and instinctually? This is kind of weird when you think about it. How do humans not know what they should be eating? Are other animals just that much more in tune and wiser about their health and well being? They certainly know exactly what to eat without paying large dollar to someone who had to go years through expensive school to figure this out for them. And the irony is that such "experts" are mostly wrong anyways.
Health Care, or as I like to call it "Sick Care" (Got that from Supersize me) has done wonders for us. People today who truly believe in health care take care of themselves before they get sick. Our Health Care System (aka Sick Care System) is not just responsible for taking care of the sick, but often is responsible for keeping people sick and alive for profit. This is why I do not donate to such organizations and do my own research when it comes to my own health.
In addition, most of medicine does not have their marbles straight regarding nutrition either. Grains (especially wheat), legumes and dairy are well known through science everywhere, even main stream science, to irritate the intestines in everyone, not just people who are gluten, lectin and lactose, etc intolerant.
Therefore, how can wheat and dairy be recommended as healthy?
Meat and natural fat have gotten a bad rap though the years for being unhealthy. They are highly nutritious (if grass feed and organic) versus bread that everyone eats anyways because health experts recommend it. It just puzzles me.
Why not eat the most nutritious and highly mineral and nutrient based foods to optimize our health?
In addition, toxins, such as many products used excessively by people in their own homes daily, are known to irritate the liver and body. Much of this is also known. If the liver and digestive system are irritated or unhealthy then that's when an individual becomes unhealthy. It mainly all comes back to liver and gut health. Keep them healthy through a proper, clean, natural and highly nutritious diet and keep toxins to a minimal.
What other factors can constitute good health? Take a minute and write down what you think. Don't try to remember what Dr. Oz told you or what you heard on The Doctors. Use your instinct and basic knowledge.
Keep stress low (Stress is called "The Silent Killer" for a reason), exercise moderately (Walk, jog, lift some weights, do a sport, anything), play (Also known as a "Hobby"), socialize (Good friends and/or a meaningful relationship), pursue a dream (Known as Self-Actualization from Maslow's Hierarchy of needs), get good vitamin D levels (From the Sun, therefore go outside. In the winter take some Vitamin D supplements or go tanning once in a while), maintain a good gut flora (Do not take antibiotics unless very necessary. Eat fermented foods or take Probiotics) and sleep well (Pure dark room with quality and quantity sleep).
That is the prescription for optimum health. This is why many tribes people living in the forests thrive and live more healthy and satisfying lives then us!
That is true health care! I am sure that you can always add something else. Most of this stuff is enveloped in our genetic code. We evolved this way and just recently have we skewed away from what we really need. It's no brainer.
It seems like a lot to ponder about, but the point is that most people should sit down and decide for themselves what is good for them with out stressing about it. People should keep in mind that much of the information that they are told by "heath experts" is incorrect. Going back to my first article "Bringing Live back to the Root" try to live as natural as you can and you will thrive.

Shirley Sherrod to Sue the Daylights Out of Andrew Breitbart
By Juli Weiner
Former U.S.D.A. employee Shirley Sherrod announced today at a National Association of Black Journalists event that she will be suing conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart. As you may recall, it was Breitbart's posting of a video showing Sherrod seemingly regaling the audience at an N.A.A.C.P. event with racism-endorsing anecdotes that prompted her firing on July 19. Only after the complete speech surfaced, and the Department of Agriculture (and everyone else) realized Sherrod was actually condemning racism, was she offered both an apology and her job back. But Breitbart, unlike Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, has not tried to make amends. On The Early Show last week, Sherrod hinted at taking legal action against Breitbart, saying that she "would definitely consider" a suit. Her language has now shifted from the conditional to the indicative. Today,she told the N.A.B.J. that she "will definitely do it." Although Breitbart eventually appended corrections to blog posts about the matter, he told Anderson Cooper that he did not consider his actions illegitimate, much less illegal. "What would warrant an apology?," he asked Cooper. "I'm not the one who threw her under the bus."

Almost War? How A B-2 Stealth Bomber Accidently Hit a Chinese Embassy
Brent M. Eastwood
A U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit "Stealth" bomber, 393rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, 509th Bomb Wing, Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., flies over the Pacific Ocean after a recent aerial refueling mission, May 2, 2005. The Bombers are deployed to Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, as part of a rotation that has provided the U.S. Pacific Command a continous bomber presence in the Asian Pacific region since February 2004, enhancing regional security and the U.S. commitment to the Western Pacific.

China was apoplectic and vowed the United States did it on purpose. At least five American JDAM bombs from a B-2 stealth warplane hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, and killed two Chinese newlyweds, who were government journalists sleeping in the building. Another Chinese reporter died.
Twenty were injured and one victim was blinded by the attack. The tragedy happened on May 7, 1999, during the NATO War in Kosovo. Despite apologies from the United States for the accident, China never forgave the Americans.
The U.S. Investigates
The United States investigated the incident. Under Secretary of State Thomas Pickering, along with numerous high-level government officials, personally delivered a formal letter of apology to China from President Bill Clinton in July 1999.
Clearly a Mistake
"The attack was a mistake," Pickering said. "Our examination explains how a series of errors and omissions led to that mistake. Let me emphasize: no one targeted the Chinese Embassy. No one, at any stage in the process, realized that our bombs were aimed at the Chinese Embassy."
Big Failure Needed to Be Explained
It turned out the United States was targeting the Yugoslav Federal Directorate for Supply and Procurement in Belgrade and airplanes clearly hit the wrong objective. Inexplicably, defense leaders and the intelligence community had the erroneous coordinates for the building. All targeting databases at the Pentagon and CIA had incorrect location information. When officials at the White House selected the target, they had no idea the location data was wrong. The Clinton administration also admitted that they did not consult enough people to make sure the mistake could have been corrected before the bombing.
Old Maps and Ground Targeting Was Wrong
The CIA was apparently using outdated paper maps from 1997, 1996, 1992, and 1989. The intelligence officer in charge used land navigation techniques by hand to triangulate the location – a practice that was antiquated and was not supposed to be used for aerial targeting. The officer was off by 300 meters, which is why the bombs hit the Chinese embassy, not the Serbian supply building.
Targeting Calculation Done By Hand
It might have helped if Clinton had gone to China personally and delivered his letter of condolence. He did make a public apology and called Chinese president Jiang Zemin to say he was sorry. But the damage was already done. China had been watching the air war in Kosovo closely and feared that it was behind the United States in the use of precision munitions dating back to Operation Desert Storm. Bombs from the B-2 may have been precise, but the targeting acquisition was done unbelievably by hand for a technique used in land warfare – definitely not a high-tech process. It has never been clear why the CIA was used to target the building. And the Clinton administration was also accused of selecting targets from the White House during the war – a practice seen as an example of micromanagement from the president.
Riots in Beijing Ensued
The Chinese people began protesting after the bombing and surrounded the U.S. embassy in Beijing and rioted for days. Some diplomatic buildings were damaged after protesters threw rocks and gasoline bombs. A number of Chinese citizens to this day believe the bombing was done on purpose.
China Believes Americans Did It On Purpose
The Chinese government led by Jiang Zemin thought that the attack was part of an "even greater plot" instigated by the United States. China began to look at the United States as the "enemy" after the bombing, according to author Michael Pillsbury in his book The Hundred-Year Marathon. Jiang exhorted the Chinese to view the incident as direct American subversion of his country and that the United States was trying to ascertain the military strength of China and its willingness to respond in kind.

Aftermath of the Belgrade B-2 Bombing
There are two schools of thought about the Belgrade incident. One is the belief that hardliners and hawks in China, especially Chinese generals and admirals, pointed to this as the beginning of viewing the United States as China's number one enemy. Others in the U.S. government felt that China would remain peaceful after the riots and eventually forgive the Americans and return to the country's belief in building its economy, and not its military, to challenge the United States. Either way, this was a watershed event that marked a significant turning point in diplomatic history, and it is a tragedy that many Chinese are haunted by today.

"Jew baiter" Obama: The same people who brought you Iraq are opposing the Iran deal
August 7, 2015 /24 Comments/in Featured Articles, Israel Lobby, Jewish Writing on Anti-Semitism, Neoconservatism /by Kevin MacDonald
Sometimes Jewish comments related to anti-Semitism seem so unhinged that they surprise even me. A Tablet article describes the meeting between Obama and a raft of Jewish leaders on the Iran deal ("Obama to Jewish Leaders: Lay Off the Iran Deal, and I Will Lay Off You").
Words have consequences, and when they come from official sources, they can be even more dangerous, the president was told. The community worked hard to keep it from getting personal and didn't make it specific to him. The president complained about the lobbying, and said some of the same people who brought you Iraq are opposing the Iran deal. He was told those characterizations are not accurate. Jewish lobbyists didn't support the Iraq war.
Another participant who also asked to remain anonymous told me that some people expressed discomfort with "how the debate is being framed—framed as, 'if you are a critic of the deal, you're for war.' The implication is that if it looks like the Jewish community is responsible for Congress voting down the deal, it will look like the Jewish community is leading us off to another war in the Middle East."
A senior official at a Washington, D.C.-based Jewish organization involved in the Iran fight told me: "The President told concerned Jewish Americans that he would turn down the constant refrain of anti-Semitic insinuations from the White House. Then he went out and gave a speech implying that Jews are dragging American boys and girls into war."
It's unfortunate that the president of the United States seems to really believe that Israel and the American Jewish community was responsible for taking America to war in Iraq.
But of course saying that the same people who promoted the Iraq war are now lobbying in opposition to the Iran deal is simply and obviously true, and certainly Obama was not so bold as to actually say that Jews promoted the Iraq war. Obama's statement is analogous to someone saying that the same people who control Hollywood movie and TV production also run the New York Times and much of the rest of the mass media: The worry is that people will connect the dots not with labels like "White liberals," but rather with Jews who have attitudes related to their identity as Jews and entirely typical of the mainstream Jewish community but not at all typical of most Whites.
Unfortunately for AIPAC et al., as everyone who is not living under a rock knows, the perception that indeed Jews were a necessary condition for the Iraq war is a common belief so that quite a few people will connect the dots in a way that Jews don't like. And in fact, Israel (with Netanyahu as spokesperson), Jewish neocons with high positions in the Bush administration, and yes, AIPAC (see, e.g., comments of Rep. Barney Frank and Matt Yglesias: "AIPAC and Iraq") were critical in successfully promoting the war in Iraq (even though surveys reported that most American Jews opposed the war).
Disowning any Jewish involvement in the Iraq war has a long history. When the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003,
the main Jewish activist organizations [were] quick to condemn those who have noted the Jewish commitments of the neoconservative activists in the Bush administration or seen the hand of the Jewish community in pushing for war against Iraq and other Arab countries. For example, the ADL's Abraham Foxman singled out Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran, Rep. James Moran, Chris Matthews of MSNBC, James O. Goldsborough (a columnist for the San Diego Union-Tribune), columnist Robert Novak, and writer Ian Buruma as subscribers to "a canard that America's going to war has little to do with disarming Saddam, but everything to do with Jews, the 'Jewish lobby' and the hawkish Jewish members of the Bush Administration who, according to this chorus, will favor any war that benefits Israel."
Similarly, when Senator Ernest F. Hollings (D-SC) made a speech in the U.S. Senate and wrote a newspaper op-ed piece which claimed the war in Iraq was motivated by "President Bush's policy to secure Israel" and advanced by a handful of Jewish officials and opinion leaders, Abe Foxman of the ADL stated, "when the debate veers into anti-Jewish stereotyping, it is tantamount to scapegoating and an appeal to ethnic hatred …. This is reminiscent of age-old, anti-Semitic canards about a Jewish conspiracy to control and manipulate government." (Neoconservatism as a Jewish Movement," pp. 15–16)
One has the feeling that Jews unhappy with Obama's statement are doing their best to suggest that Iraq and Iran are completely different, that Jews had nothing to do with the Iraq war, and that the opposition of Israel and pretty much the entire activist Jewish community to the Iran deal is not at all about desiring a war with Iran.
Only the last of these is a possibility that reasonable people could differ on. However, it is quite clear that Israel and its fifth column insisted on terms that Iran would not and could not accept, therefore assuring that a negotiated deal could not happen (see here). In the absence of such a deal, war is indeed the only option. What the Lobby wants is nothing less than a U.S. war with Iran made possible by insisting on a deal that Iran cannot accept and then portraying Iran as intent on building weapons that are a danger to the entire world. In reality, this war would mainly be about punishing Iran and lessening its ability to oppose Israeli interests in the region rather than anything to do with an Iranian nuclear weapon.
Senator Chuck Schumer, who call himself the "guardian of Israel," made the same point: it's not really about the nuclear issue, but rather about Iran as a power in the region. David Bromwich, writing in HyffPo:
[Schumer] admits that the heart of the nuclear deal works against the development of nuclear weapons quite effectively. "When it comes to the nuclear aspects of the agreement within ten years, we might be slightly better off with it. However, when it comes to the nuclear aspects after ten years and the non-nuclear aspects, we would be better off without it." There, for all his elaborate show of scruple, he gives the game away. The "nuclear aspects" are the substance of the agreement. That is why they call it the nuclear deal. But no, for Netanyahu and Schumer what offends is the prospect of Iran's re-entry into the global community as a trading partner and a non-nuclear regional power of some resourcefulness. This emergence can only curb Israel's wish to dominate for another half century as it has done for the past half century. That, and not anything resembling an "existential threat," is the real transition at issue.
In the same way, the WMD ruse rationalizing the war with Iraq was promoted by Jewish neocon operatives in US intelligence organizations, neocon writers and talking heads with access to the elite media, and AIPAC influence on Congress and the White House — with the ADL ready to pounce on anyone who noticed that Jewish identities and commitments were in any way relevant. The WMD ruse was a cover for the desire to fragment and weaken Iraq and cause instability in the region—long a goal of Israeli foreign policy throughout the region. The Iraq war strategy has been spectacularly successful in serving Israeli interests while creating a disaster for the United States.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
The Tablet naturally rushes to the conclusion that Obama is stoking the flames of a completely irrational anti-Semitism:
Obama's political tactics [point to] Nixon's Southern strategy, which played on the racist fears of white southerners. If the purpose of the Obama Administration's Jew-baiting is to silence potential critics of the JCPOA, it may also stoke a deeply ugly hatred that is no less dangerous to American society than racism.
Obama the Jew baiter. Not that it needs repeating here at TOO, but the Tablet article is yet another indication that Jews are simply incapable of acknowledging that the legitimate interests of Jews and non-Jews can differ or that it is possible to make a rational critique of Jewish power and the behavior that Jewish power enables.

Jean-Babtiste Say (født 5. januar 1767, død 15. november 1832) var en fransk økonom, der er kendt for Says lov. Loven siger, at udbuddet aldrig kan overstige efterspørgslen. Hver gang folk sælger en vare (af udbuddet), får de kapital (penge) og skaber derved efterspørgsel, fordi de skal bruge deres penge. Udbuddet af varer indhenter altså aldrig efterspørgslen af varer. Forskere er dog uenige om det var Say, der første gang kaldte den Says lov.

GM, Ford coronavirus U.S. ventilator projects close in on their finish lines
By Joseph White
DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co said on Tuesday they are close to completing production of ventilators ordered by the Trump Administration in response to the surge in coronavirus cases, and are ramping down or exiting the operations.
FILE PHOTO: A GM employee works to make ventilators as U.S. Vice President Mike Pence visits the General Motors Components Holding Plant that is manufacturing ventilators for use during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Kokomo, Indiana, U.S. April 30, 2020. REUTERS/Chris Bergin
Many of the ventilators assembled by the automakers and other manufacturers have gone into a U.S. government stockpile as doctors shifted away from using invasive ventilators with COVID-19 patients. The government currently has 108,000 ventilators in its medical equipment stockpile, and 12,000 deployed at U.S. hospitals, the U.S. Health and Human Services department said Tuesday.
GM and medical equipment maker Ventec Life Systems are in the "home stretch" toward completing a contract to deliver 30,000 critical care ventilators by the end of August under a $489 million contract with the federal government, the automaker said.
GM and Ventec have already delivered more than 20,000 machines, GM spokesman Jim Cain said.
Ford has assembled about 47,000 of the 50,000 ventilators it agreed to supply to partner General Electric Co, Ford spokeswoman Rachel McCleery said. GE has a $336 million contract with the government.
HHS said it has received more than 69,000 ventilators assembled by GM and Ford and their partners, and "both of these delivery schedules are nearly complete."
Ford and GM earlier this year said they would employ a total of as many as 1,500 people on ventilator assembly lines. Automakers likened the efforts to their switch from making cars to tanks and planes during the Second World War.
With North American car and truck factories back in operation, the Detroit automakers are winding down their forays into ventilator manufacturing, but continuing to make respiratory masks.
GM has said it plans to transfer the ventilator-making operations at a factory in Kokomo, Indiana, to its partner Ventec on Sept.1. Union-represented GM workers employed at the plant will return to the automaker, and temporary workers will remain with Ventec.
Ford transferred full-time workers who were building ventilators back to their home plants in May, and the majority of the temporary workers still assembling ventilators will have opportunities to land jobs building the new Ford Bronco SUV at a factory near Detroit, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The automakers' efforts to build ventilators and other medical equipment were launched in a politically charged atmosphere as the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic swamped the U.S. economy and healthcare system. The shortage of ventilators became a symbol of the nation's struggle to respond.
U.S. President Donald Trump put pressure on the automakers as part of a broader push to secure more than 130,000 ventilators by the end of 2020.
The automakers used the medical equipment assembly operations set up in the spring to test safety protocols they later used to reopen their vehicle-making operations.

Home Schools Holy Family allots funds to food banks
Holy Family allots funds to food banks
May 19, 2020 · by Admin2015 ·
Richard Froese
Local food banks have been allocated funding for the next four months from special Catholic school nutrition grants.
The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division [HFCRD] has alloted $36.50 per family in their schools from remaining funds from the provincial School Nutrition Program grant.
Food banks will receive funding for May, June, July and August, says an e-mail from HFCRD May 13.
Funds cannot be used in schools, which have been closed since March 16 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We chose to make monthly donations throughout the rest of the year just in case any unexpected expenses come up," HFCRD communications co-ordinator Jody Bekevich says.
Peace River Community Soup Kitchen, Salvation Army Peace River Food Bank and Nampa Community Services will share $22,666.50 per month from funds from Good Shepherd School in Peace River and Nampa School.
High Prairie and District Food Bank will receive $9,709 per month.
Berwyn Ecumenical Society will receive $3,321.50 per month from Holy Family School in Grimshaw.
Funds of $1,168 per month from Ecole Providence School in McLennan will provide $100 gift cards to Falher IGA for 11 families.
Funds of $3,450 per month from St. Stephen's School in Valleyview will be donated to Valleyview Food Bank and for $100 gift cards to 10 families.
Manning Food Bank will receive $3,248.50 per month from Rosary School.
A one-time donation of $5,000 has been made to Servant's Heart Initiative in Peace River, Nampa and Grimshaw.
HFCRD announced May 6 that all remaining funds from the grant are being donated to local food banks in every school community.
Funds will ensure that families will have their nutrition needs met across the region, the news release says.
HFCRD joins all school divisions across the province to donate remaining nutrition grant funds to continue serving students through existing programs in our communities, Supt. Betty Turpin says.
"Since we can no longer use these nutrition grant funds in our schools, these community- based programs are best positioned to offer support through their existing infrastructure, volunteer networks and knowledge of the community."

Top 5 Times Solar Activity Affected Earth
The Sun sends out a constant stream of particles and energy, which drives a complex space weather system near Earth and can affect spacecraft and astronauts. NASA has chosen five new mission concept studies for further development to study various aspects of this dynamic system. (Credits: NASA)
SILVER SPRING, Md. (NOAA PR) — Over the course of the Sun's 11-year solar cycle, the star goes through a period of increased and decreased activity. When this activity ramps up, sometimes phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), where massive amounts of radiation and solar particles erupt out from the Sun's surface, can wreak havoc if our planet happens to be in the way of the blast.
Solar Cycle 25 Is Here. NASA, NOAA Scientists Explain What That Means
This split image shows the difference between an active Sun during solar maximum (on the left, captured in April 2014) and a quiet Sun during solar minimum (on the right, captured in December 2019). December 2019 marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 25, and the Sun's activity will once again ramp up until solar maximum, predicted for 2025. (Credits: NASA/SDO)
WASHINGTON (NASA PR) — Solar Cycle 25 has begun. During a media event on Tuesday, experts from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discussed their analysis and predictions about the new solar cycle – and how the coming upswing in space weather will impact our lives and technology on Earth, as well as astronauts in space.
What's the Big Deal about Solar Cycles?
Sun and Earth (Credit: NOAA)
SILVER SPRING, Md. (NOAA PR) — The Sun is Earth's nearest star—a giant orb of hydrogen and helium about 93 million miles away. To many people, it looks like the same constant ball of light day after day as it moves across the sky. However, our Sun actually goes through a cycle of increasing and decreasing activity that lasts for about 11 years.


This European Standard specifies minimum levels of performance requirements for protective clothing to be worn during fire fighting operations and associated activities. Suits shall provide protection for the firefighters torso, neck, arms to the wrists, and leg to ankles during firefighting activities. A generous overlap suitable for all body movements shall be maintained between the jacket and trousers.

The world is drowning in cash–and it's making us poorer and less safe. In The Curse of Cash, Kenneth Rogoff, one of the world's leading economists, makes a persuasive and fascinating case for an idea that until recently would have seemed outlandish: getting rid of most paper money.
Even as people in advanced economies are using less paper money, there is more cash in circulation–a record $1.4 trillion in U.S. dollars alone, or $4,200 for every American, mostly in $100 bills. And the United States is hardly exceptional. So what is all that cash being used for? The answer is simple: a large part is feeding tax evasion, corruption, terrorism, the drug trade, human trafficking, and the rest of a massive global underground economy.
The Curse of Cash offers a plan for phasing out most paper money–while leaving small-denomination bills and coins in circulation indefinitely–and addresses the issues the transition will pose, ranging from fears about privacy and price stability to the need to provide subsidized debit cards for the poor.

Q: Not Sure Why Apache Server Automatically Put A Site In Frame Is there a configuration somewhere in Apache server that causes all pages to be in a Frame? I can't seem to figure it out.
<html>
  <head>
  <title>Platform</title>
  <meta name="keywords" content="Platform">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
  <frame src="http://someURL" frameborder="0">
  <frame frameborder="0" noresize="">
</frameset>

<!-- pageok -->
<!-- 01 -->
<!-- -->
</html>

It essentially takes the meta tag out and use it for parent page and have everything else in the content of the page in the Frame.
Please let me know if you have any idea. I can't reproduced it locally on my laptop so I figured there has to be some configuration that doesn't match, but I have no idea where to even start looking. The same configuration for reverse proxy is used.

A:
Is there a configuration somewhere in Apache server that causes all pages to be in an iFrame?

Not that I've ever heard of.
This sort of framing is typical of sites that have bought a domain name and are using it via Masking instead of using proper DNS hosting.

Nulla! (Blank!) è un racconto di fantascienza di Isaac Asimov pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1957 sul numero di giugno della rivista  Infinity Science Fiction.
Successivamente è stato incluso nell'antologia Testi e note (Buy Jupiter and Other Stories) del 1975.

È stato pubblicato varie volte in italiano a partire dal 1976.

Storia editoriale
Il racconto nacque su commissione di Larry Shaw, editore di Infinity Science Fiction, che richiese un racconto breve ispirato dal titolo secondo lui meno adatto a ispirare una storia, e cioè "nulla" (in inglese "blank"). La richiesta di Shaw fu fatta, oltre che ad Asimov, anche agli scrittori Harlan Ellison e Randall Garrett e i tre produssero tre racconti brevi intitolati rispettivamente Blank!, Blank e Blank?. Tutti e tre i racconti vennero pubblicati insieme sul numero di giugno 1957 della rivista.

Trama
Uno scienziato sta conducendo degli esperimenti sui viaggi nel tempo. Egli persuade un collega riluttante a seguirlo in un viaggio nella macchina del tempo che ha realizzato, insistendo che nulla può andar storto ma, invece, a un certo punto i due viaggiatori si trovano bloccati in uno strano spazio dove non c'è nient'altro che il nulla.

Akame ga Kill! – 15
Akame ga Kill! really wants you to understand that the Ultimate Battle between Night Raid and the Jaegars and between the Rebellion and the Empire, is about to begin. Both characters and the narrator mention it at least half a dozen times. They should have also said something along the lines of "these battles are definitely on the way, but bear with us a little while we lay out all the details and get people into their proper positions for said battles." Or something.
So yeah, this episode is yet more setup. By the end of it, Najenda, Akame, Tatsumi and Leone are engaged with Kurome and Bols, with Susanoo having smacked Wave off the battlefield entirely. It doesn't seem like either party is going to back down or retreat; this is it. We just don't get to see any actual fighting quite yet.
"Wait…WHY are we in bikinis, again?"
We do get a somewhat meandering Rube Goldberg-like plan for overthrowing the Capital and Empire; one that depends on a lot of moving parts which could spell disaster if any of them failed. It starts with a popular religious group starting an insurrection within the empires borders, followed by invasions from without by the Revolutionary Army and its allied tribes.
"Are the crepes good, people? Good!"
They're depending on the zealots being enough of a threat to warrant a sizable movement of Imperial forces in the direction the Revolutionary wants, as well as the cooperation of disillusioned castellans on the route to the Capital to honor their word to yield their castles to the rebels. If everything goes according to plan, the capital will be theirs, its corrupt leaders dispatched, and all with a minimum of bloodshed.
But c'mon now, not everything is going to go according to plan. Neither the rebel army nor Night Raid can do anything without dealing with Esdeath and the Jaegers first (Najenda also name-drops Commander-in-Chief Budou). The episode serves as a means to take stock in each Night Raid member or Jaeger's specific reasons and motivations for fighting, with Seryu's probably being the most morally upside-down (though that's not surprising considering the mentors she's had).
On the other end of the spectrum is Wave, who isn't even listed as a target, but he has his own reasons for fighting on the side he's on. Regardless of whether you're an otherwise nice guy like him or Bols, or a complete evil psycho like Kurome, they must all be defeated by Night Raid if the rebellion is to have a chance.

For those among you who don't particularly care about the Tatsumi+Esdeath romance thread, this episode was probably a bit of a slog. However, I don't mind it in the least, so it was a lot of fun. I couldn't tell you why; but there's just something very endearing about such an otherwise heartless, cruel villaness having such a tender side to her; aside only Tatsumi can bring out.
She's not even mad about him running away the first time; she's just happy they'e reunited…and on a remote and deserted island, no less. She treats it as a date, with the two of them enjoying fun activities like bringing down colossal danger beasts, harvesting fruits, hunting for game, and relaxing on the beach. She's so into Tatsumi, she's even taken to drawing crude but adorable sketches of the two of them.
Tatsumi manages to hold back her amorous advances, and instead uses the opporunity to learn more about Esdeath. Tatsumi doesn't really tell her much of anything about his past, but she tells him the lot: how she was originally from the Paltas clan, daughter of the chief, who taught her that the strong die and the weak perish every time, and that's just the way it goes.
When she returns to find her village and her father attacked and killed by the Northern tribes, it's merely another case of that fundamental philosophy. All she could do was continue to be strong, get stronger, and survive, because that's what life is. When prey grew scarce, she joined the military, and simply applied the same tactics to humans as she did beasts.
Everything she's done since has been to serve the Empire, including her subjugation of the Northern tribes—not revenge. Even her father saw that something was "missing" in Esdeath; that she seemed to enjoy dissecting beasts a bit too much, which then turned into a taste for torture. It was all in service of the universal truth she'd seen in action firsthand: death is the fate of the weak.
When it came time for her to choose an Imperial Arm, she chose an urn of demon elixir that had made every previous taster insane. But because she was already a bit loopy, and felt the drink "calling to her", she chugged it down without reservation, and a powerful ice danger beast merged with her body, which she is able to control.
The result of learning all this is that despite all the fun times they had on the island, Tatsumi has come to realize Esdeath isn't someone who would ever defy the empire or join the rebellion. But the jury is still out for me: after all, he affects her like nothing else does. He's not merely a boy toy to her, he completes her. If the demon within her is an internal covenant, she seeks an external one with him. She's not messing around.
But again, rather than stay by her side, Tatsumi hides again. They are separated once more, and Tatsumi is all but certain the next time they meet they'll be enemies. If that's really how it's going to go down, I guess this episode was a means of convincing Tatsumi (and us) that as nice as it would be for Esdeath to be on his side, it's just not to be; she's far too set in her ways. It sucks, but that's the way it is.
Oh yeah, and the guy who teleported the doomed couple to the island in the first place is Honest's son. He seems like a real swell fellow!

Psycho-Pass – 12
Complete change of gears this week, as we enter Backstory Mode, starting with how Kunizuka Yayoi joined the MWPSB as an Enforcer. A passionate guitarist, listening to "Non-Sybil-authorized" bands clouded her hue to the extent she ended up in a chilling rehabilitation facility.
When reports of "antisocial organizations" spring up in her neighborhood, she's visited by Ginoza and Kogami, who is still an Inspector. Brass tacks: Sybil says Yayoi has the aptitude to be an enforcer, they're willing to give her a chance, and there aren't a lot of other options for leaving rehab.
Kogami breaks the ice by giving her some long sought-after guitar strings, and Yayoi agrees to assist in the investigation, eventually finding herself in the very club she used to frequent when she was free, listening to the band that clouded her hue to begin with, fronted by the lovely Rina.
Yayoi admired and maybe was also a little into Rina, for she represented a rebellious nature she'd never been able to fully replicate, even if she eventually became a latent criminal. But when she learns Rina is an actual rebel, fighting against Sybil with Molotovs along with music, she seems to turn off her heart and turn on her head.
Believing what Rina is doing is wrong, she pulls the Dominator Kogami gave her and tries to shoot her. The trigger is locked (even Kogami wouldn't give a non-enforcer latent a live Dominator), but Yayoi passes the test: when the chips were down, she chose the side of law and order, horribly flawed (and unforgiving to her as it is).
Yayoi's story is pretty simple, but it doesn't need to be that complicated: even among those wronged or harmed by Cybil's tyranny may prefer it to violence and chaos. In this regard, Yayoi is an obedient student of her time. She'll carve out the place she can in this messed-up world, just as Kogami and Sasayama seem to have done (Sasayama is, indeed, kind of a dick, BTW).
They may not be true believers, but they're willing to stand behind the safety and comfort Sybil provides, because it gives them power. In a world where things are constantly being taken away from you, the opportunity to be on the side of the takers is hard to pass up. Still, it's encouraging to see there are people out there fighting against Sybil.

Mekakucity Actors – 10
It's been abundantly clear for some time now that Mekakucity isn't particularly interested in presenting a linear narrative, preferring to blend episodes of the present with glimpses of the pasts of the characters involved in that present, for us to better understand, or more to the point, care about said characters.
This week, the present is mostly placed on the back burner in favor of Kozakura Marry's backstory. Wouldn't you know it, she's the granddaughter of the "monster" in the fairy tale. One day, fearful townsfolk come to kill the monster, but she fiercely protects her husband and daughter Shion—Marry's mom—before leaving them, and the world.
Marry was raised to believe her eyes would turn others to stone, just like her grandmother Medusa, but her life of lonliness grows intolerable, and she can't help but cry out for help. Help arrives in the form of Seto Kousuke, who has eyes just like hers, even if they're embued with a different power. In any case, a connection between two kindred spirits is formed, and the rest is history.
The entire flashback is neatly framed by a dream the present-day Marry is having while nodding off, when she's supposed to be keeping an eye on Amamiya Hibiya. This leads to her finding Konoha and bringing him back to HQ, and after seeing Marry's mom and dad, we couldn't help but wonder if Honoka's resemblance to them was intentional. In any case, Akiyuki Shinbou certainly has a thing for manipulative asshole snakes…and now that we know where Marry is coming from, we care about her more than we did before.

Oreimo 2 – 03
Kyousuke, Kiriko and Ruri visit Saori's house for a surprise birthday party, and she arrives home from school out of her otaku disguise. We flash back to when her sister Kaori first introduces her to her otaku friend circle, "Pretty Garden." The desperately shy Saori makes friends there and has fun, but when Kaori suddenly ups and leaves, the other circle members drift apart until Saori is alone. She promises she'll show her sister up, doing so by starting a new circle. Back in the present Kaori and her friends have reunited, and give the older, taller, more sociable Saori their regards.
Ayase was the focus last week, but this week she's absent as the focus is entirely on Saori Bajeena, AKA Mikishima Saori, a very rich, high-class, beautiful young lady who presents herself to her otaku friends as a lurchy otaku dork with oversized novely glasses. They don't even recognize Saori when they see her. Now that we can see her eyes, face, and hair properly, it's like we're meeting the character all over again, only now she's on more of an equal footing with Kirino and Kuroneko. And hey, it turns out she's an imouto too!
Her backstory is one of her older sister practicing tough love: introducing her into a sink-or-swim situation where she must show her face to people and talk to them, and once she's comfortable there, indirectly breaking up the circle, removing the proverbial training wheels from Saori's social development. It's sad, but people grow up and move on; it doesn't mean they're not still friends. And Saori's experiences gave her the strength and wherewithal to find her own circle of friends, and the cycle continues. We liked learning more about this non-bespectacled Saori, and hope to see more of her.
