What is Mature Anyway?
By Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw Legacy Author June 28, 2011
I feel a strange motivation to unthinkingly defend Duke Nukem Forever. It's the same mindless instinct that makes me offended when people talk shit about the UK, even though I don't live there anymore because it's a grey, flat, miserable place more hung up on its past glory than William Shatner. I guess because Duke Nukem 3D was an important fixture in my teenage emotional development, which probably explains why I still greet women by tossing them fivers.
A lot of people have condemned Duke Nukem Forever for being "immature." No more so than Duke Nukem 3D was, really, and importantly I suppose most of the people making that complaint were, like me, teenagers when they first played Duke3D. It's like a fifteen-year-old complaining that the shows they have loved for years have gotten too childish – hey, they're not aimed at you anymore, slick. Perhaps we should solicit the opinion of a thirteen-year-old. Although they'd probably complain that the game seems to be attempting to get by off nostalgia for a period that was before they were born, and that the whole business with the captured women in the alien hive was giving them nightmares.
But it brings up the subject of maturity. Certainly it seems like half my professional existence is spent on some level trying to persuade people that games are becoming more mature all the time. But there are various interpretations of the word "mature," and it's a paradox I've noticed before that a lot of games that receive "mature" certificates would only be of interest to twelve-year-olds.
I first wanted to talk about this after doing Mortal Kombat, and it's no new observation that it features absolutely ridiculous levels of gore that carries absolutely no weight whatsoever, like action figure make-believe in a bucket of offal. But what really communicates to me that it was created with a completely immature mindset is, brace yourselves, the fact that there aren't any cocks. Whenever one of those demented X-ray attacks unveils the muscular system around a character's crotch, the action figure comparison continues in that they're all smooth around the bend. No Kevin Bacon Hollow Man are they. Not that I'm saying that being able to ogle Sub-Zero's fat juicy combat boner would significantly improve the quality and tone of the game, but it is indicative of the attitudes involved that you can have all the unflichingly realistic gore in the world but the moment you want to extend that realism to full sexual anatomy then all the little boys shy away with red-faced titters. What are you, gay?
Interesting, isn't it, how violent games never flinch at themselves or spark much controversy (not these days, anyway) but sex, an act of love, is what terrifies people. Easy to say we're free of repressive conservative attitudes but less to hire a cock jiggle programmer.
Another game that brought the issue of maturity to the forefront of my mind recently was The Witcher 2. A game that I'd love to be able to like, but I just can't get past how stuck up it is. Anyway, one of the iconic features of the first Witcher game was that there was a collectible sidequest based around notching your bedpost, wherein you acquired a nudey picture of a female character when Geralt successfully bones her (perhaps a close-up picture of Geralt's new venereal disease would have been more appropriate), which isn't a mature attitude to sex at all, but the Witcher 2 was improved in that respect. Very early on in the game Geralt wakes up with a naked lady, but what impressed me was that there was no fuss made about it. Here are some titties, it seemed to say. We're not coyly hiding them behind some kind of Borat-style one-piece that has apparently been superglued over the nipple.
This is starting to sound like my definition of a mature approach to sex is to have every character run around with their bathrobes hanging open, so let's discuss the other side of the censor-frothing coin, violence. What games have a mature attitude to violence? That is, depicts violence with weight and appropriate consequences? Well, very few of them, obviously. The only one that really springs to mind is, as ever, the self-mutilation scene from Heavy Rain, where you have to spend an entire afternoon preparing tools and downing painkillers and it still looks like it stings like a bitch.
My point is, the ratings system is extremely flawed when it would put the pencil scene from The Dark Knight in a softer category than half the stuff that goes on in Mortal Kombat, when the former is actually quite horrific and the latter is just goofing around with some red squishy objects. Approach to censorship tends to be a very mechanical one – you get bumped up a rating if you go past a certain number of swears or depict, say, a fork going into an eyeball with very little consideration of context – and I'm wondering if there doesn't need to be some critical re-examination here. In the same way I don't give review scores because I can't summarize a detailed critique of a game numerically, you can't warn people what kind of cultural level mature content is operating on just by stating how old you have to be to not have nightmares about it afterwards.
So here's what I've come up with. Instead of an age rating, the covers of games should depict a character from literature whose mindset you'd most need to sympathise with in order to get the most out of the product. So if a game was about fun violence like Mortal Kombat it'd show John Carter of Mars, but if it was about dramatic violence like Heavy Rain it'd have Joseph Yossarian from Catch 22, or Billy Pilgrim from Slaughterhouse Five or someone from some other miserable war-related book. And it'd work for films, too. Fight Club would have Holden Caulfield. Death Wish would have Edmond Dantes. And The Human Centipede would have Patrick Bateman. In fact, this rating system would work for anything except books, because in that case you'd just have a picture of the protagonist from the same book.
But even this concept is a flawed one that relies a little too optimistically on the general public's knowledge of classic literature, so allow me to also present my preferred option: fuck it. As in, don't have ratings at all. Grown-up fun only interests children because we deny it to them, they wouldn't care if we didn't. If your child really wants to see A Serbian Film then you should just let them, by the same principle by which you'd make your curious offspring smoke an entire carton of cigarettes or force them to have sex with a disease-ridden whore to scare them straight and teach them an important life lesson. Now, admittedly this is a policy that ultimately leads to children suffering emotional scarring or even death, but there comes a time when you have to stop letting that sort of thing bother you, generally when you're riding the bus home at around the time the schools close.

I am originally from Snohomish, WA (about an hour north of Seattle). My family and I try and make a trip up there once a year. When I go, I book family sessions! I love it. I get to meet up with people I haven't seen in years and enjoy the scenery.
I have known this momma, Carissa since high school. We were both lifeguards and swim instructors together, and she is one of the sweetest people I know. When she reached out and wanted a session, I jumped for joy because....look how cute they are!
The location for this photoshoot was at the pumpkin patch that her grandparents own in Snohomish, WA! We went across the street in a field that was part of the land, but nobody was there. It was great!! Here are some of my favorites.


As a species it's in our nature to explore. From the early nomadic tribes traversing continents to the first astronomers who stared into the night sky, we have the yearning to know more imprinted in our DNA. There are the adventurers and scientists who climb peaks, travel to depths of the ocean and explore the stars. In our own beer world, things might not be that grand, but many of us still try to seek out the offbeat, the rare, the genuine local drinking experience both at home and while traveling.
In his editorial, Chris Rice introduced you to Taste, our new review section. It's my great privilege to give you a preview of Explore, the section of the magazine that aims to bring many aspects of the beer world to your fingertips and encourage you to get out into the world. In this section we will, among other things, look beyond the beer in the glass and examine where well-known styles originated and meet the modern brewers putting their own spin on a classic.
It's a return to the kitchen, welcoming chefs back into our pages with recipes that go beyond the standard pub fare and suggestions for finding the best beer pairings.
Explore also combines two sections that previously ran in these pages: New On The Shelves and The Beer Lover's Calendar. By bringing these together, we are able to paint a more complete picture of what's coming up beerwise and what we think should be on your radar. A lot of thought went into these changes. This will be an evolving section, so after diving into the content, please share your thoughts via our social media channels or by contacting me directly at [email protected].
This issue is also filled with articles that follow a similar theme of exploration. Long-time contributor Dan Rabin hit the pavement and chronicles what it's like to experience Belgium's beer scene on two wheels. Brian Yaeger takes us around the United States for beers near roller coasters. We've also added brewery profiles to our travel coverage, because we believe that beer is better understood when you know where it comes from.
Growth is also part of exploration, and in his first feature for the magazine, Justin Kennedy examines established breweries adding second facilities to their portfolios. More than just clone breweries (like what Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and New Belgium Brewing Co. built on the East Coast) but breweries with a different ethos and a distinct lineup of beers.
So, don't let me keep you. Turn the page and dive into the culture of beer. I hope you discover much to your liking.

I have thought about expanding my craft beer experience with exploring beer cocktails. This may be a mixture of two brews or a beer and another type of beverage, with alcohol or non-alcohol. An example is a "Snake Bite" cocktail which consists of 50% Guinness Blonde and 50% Apple Cider. Now sure how it got its name with no "bite" taste. A friend of mine makes sour/tart beers. Recently, I tried two of his sour wheat styles. One had a lemon citrus finish and the other had a lime citrus finish. How did he "tweak" his beer's finish? After fermentation and two weeks in the bottle, he opened the top, added a tablespoon of pure lemon or lime juice to the beer in the bottle and recapped.
I am not knowledgeable of any "crafty" bartenders with thirty or forty craft beers on tap offering a substitute beer cocktail to customers who are leery of anything other than on a "lite" beer or a fashionable wine. With the hundreds of mixed drinks available, and the hundreds of craft beers on tap, it would seem as though there is more expansion of the beer cocktail possible than a "Car Bomb" or a "shot and a beer". Maybe an article that could explain the current and future marketing of beer becoming more than a pint in a glass would be useful. Thanks!

the eniemies surrounded him. this is it they are going to kill him. this is it.
"daddy, he screemed.
Chapter 1: you know who = DADDY!!!
[Printer Friendly Version of This Chapter]
Daddy, a murderer?
Chapter 1: you know who; daddy?
A woman voice screamed then the usual green flash of light. Nathan woke up with a start. The boys face tear streaked and his eyes red from crying. The same woman, the exact same woman. It was always that woman, he thought. His hand reached for his glasses and he stuffed them on his face. Just then a dark figure rushed into the room. She was wearing a mask and a long black robe down to her ankle. She knew he had just had a night mere. Normally she asked him all about it but tonight she didn't. She didn't have the time. She was worried.
"What going…."the small boy stuttered
"We're being attacked, get your wand and run"
"Cant I…."
"No just get a move on"
Nathan didn't need to be told twice. He knew the voice and she was near enough crying when she told him this. Various cries of torture could be heard downstairs and he could hear father's voice was bellowing at them. Nathan grabbed his wand and ran down the stairs. Curses flew in every direction. It wasn't the first time his home had been turned into a battle field but there were never this many people. There must have be at least half the aurors from the ministry plus the entire order. Nathan knew about the order, you could tell them from a mile away. Each member so skilled, so talented and extremely dangerous. He quickly looked around. Phew, there were more people in masks then people without.
"Hurry up Nathan, get to the secret chambers the dark lord will be fuming if you get hurt, quickly" urged someone behind him.
"I want my daddy" he exclaimed
The boy ran across the corridor but was flung back when someone apparated right in front of him. It was a man. He had a white cascading beard, moon shaped glasses and those fake twinkling eyes that haunted his father. Terror flooded through Nathan's face. It was Albus Dumbledore.
"Daddy" Nathan screamed.
The dark lord turned around. Several death eaters ran towards him. Dumbledore grabbed him and apparated.
"NO" screamed the dark lord.
Nathan screamed, kicked, punched Albus. Realizing what needed to be done. Albus muttered a spell at the terrified boy. Nathan fell into unconsciousness. Guilt filled Dumbledore heart. He had just made a boy no younger than six unconsciousness. He dragged him inside. It was the head quarters of the order of the phoenix. The boy was much cuter than he expected if he was the dark lord son but none the less evidence was backed up against him. If he was voldermort's heir then honestly the boy's life would not be worth living. He stared at the boys face then muttered another spell so the boy would be tied up for questioning.
A door opened and the rest of the order came in.
"Found out who he is?" a man said and sat down.
"I had to knock him down, he was out of control"
"But is he really you know who son?" the same man said
"I don't know" Albus replied.
"If he is, we'll kill him won't we can't have another you know who junior in our way" another man said. He looked the toughest of the lot of them
"you can't kill a six year old moody " a woman with ginger hair exclaimed . The man just
shrugged. Mad eye moody, probably one of the best auror ever. However doesn't really care about death eaters life. The more dead the better if you asked him. Albus sighed and pointed his wand at the boy and muttered a spell.
Nathan woke up. He stared around at all the faces before him. Some looked at him ashamed, but he couldn't think why. He hadn't done anything, had he? Nathan tried to move but found he couldn't. His wrists were tied behind a chair. Everyone was strangers to him and all looked murderous. "They're going to kill me" he thought.
"Daddy" he screamed. A man silenced him again.
The dark lord screamed at all his death eaters. He grabbed Bella by the throat and threw her down.
"I told you to look after him and now he's probably dead"
"Please master please"
"CRUCIO"
Bella scream echoed the manor. The death eaters flinched. The dark lords had never hurt Bella before, let alone use an unforgivable on her. Nathan had gone and this meant his temper was beyond any thing. However the curse didn't last long until voldermort broke down.
"What…"Lucius whispered, all the death eaters stood back. Voldermort was crying. He was actually crying. Bella crawled towards him and dried his tear. One death eater started to snigger. Bella killed him
"Anyone else" no one moved "just go away and find out where they've taken Nathan" everyone made a move to the door.
"They'll kill him" the dark lord wept.
"No they won't, they'll know who he is" Bella paused then whispered into her master's ear "no way they will kill James and Lily's son"
"He not their son, he's mine" voldermort yelled. Another death eater came in
"My lord perhaps you should see this" they held a new paper out.
You know who
Daddy!
Last night, members of the order of the phoenix and many aurors fought against you know who at his own house. Key witnesses have told us they saw a death eater (rumoured to be Bellatrix langstrang) leave the battle to take a young boy out of the house. fortunately curses and hexes flew in every direction separating the pair and the young boy ran to the exit. He was a few feet from the exit when Dumbledore apparated next to him. The young boy then screamed "daddy" and none other than you know who turned around. Many death eaters ran foreword to save the boy but Dumbledore took the boy and apparated. Alastor Moody told reporters yesterday "that the boy will be taken in for questioning and hopefully then killed". Where the boy is at the moment, and even if he is alive is unknown.
He snarled and threw the newspaper down in digust.
Albus sat down next to the boy. Nathan hardly dared to look at him. He was scared and wanted to go home. Seventeen members of the order of the phoenix looked at him. Moody was giving him evils
"Where's my daddy" Nathan asked.
"Who is your daddy" Alastor said, grabbing him by the throat. Fear filled his eyes.
"Alastor no" molly cried "he's just a boy"
"Who is your daddy" she said kindly. Nathan stared at the floor. Well why shouldn't he tell them he thought.
"My daddy's names t-tom r-riddle" Nathan stuttered. Dumbledore frozed
"He admits it, now can we kill him" moody said happily.
"Moody, he's just a boy" a man to the left of him said. He paused "Dumbledore what are we going to do"
"I don't know. He hasn't actually done anything really and perhaps if we keep him here at ransom, voldermort won't do anything but I don't know. I never would of thought of voldermort having a child and especially forming a relationship with it. Maybe…." He trailed off "moody were not killing a child, If we did. We're turning into death eaters ourselves. It's out of the question"
"well what we're gonna do with it"
"lock him up for now, we can decide on a more permanent arrangement later" and with that the man trailed out of the door.
Please tell me what you think of my story and let me know about how I could improve it or any ideas that you've got etc. lol

A Porta de Monaita (;  ou Bib-Albunaida), também conhecida como Porta da Alhacaba era uma das entradas mais antigas da cidade de Granada, no sul de Espanha, e a principal da Alcáçova Cadima (Alcazaba Cadima ou Alcáçova Antiga [Alcazaba Antigua]), situada no bairro do Albaicín.

Faz parte da muralha zirida, a ocidente da Porta de Elvira e a oriente da Porta das Pesas (Bāb al-Ziyad). Foi construída no , quando a capital do emirado zirida foi transferido de Medina Elvira para Medina Garnata (nome árabe de Granada). Sofreu várias transformações durante o Reino Nacérida e durante a época cristã. Foi mencionada por al-ʿUmarī en Masālik al-Absār fī Mamālik al Amsar,  na obra Guerra de Granada e por Mármol Carvajal na Historia del rebelión y castigo de los moriscos e figura distintamente na , a planta de Granada desenhada no final do  por Ambrosio de Vico, com o número 47 e nome "Monaica".

Em 1931 foi declarada Monumento Histórico Artístico Nacional e foi restaurada entre 1998 e 1999. Em 2011 encontrava-se algo abandonada e à mercê de vandalismo, nomeadamente grafitos, o que provocou protestos da população.

Q: JSON.NET serialization of type derived from List We're switching our cache system over from a binary serializer (the one AppFabric uses) to a JSON serializer (For use with Redis) and I'm running into some incompatibilities with a few object types.  The general idea is the same, we have a class that looks something like this:
[Serializable]
public class ActivityMeasurementIndexes : List<ActivityMeasurementIndex>
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public DateTime lastDbRead { get; set; }

    public ActivityMeasurementIndexes()
    {
        lastDbRead = DateTime.Now;
    }
}

The binary serializer will serialize and deserialize the object just fine.  However, when I try to serialize the object with JSON.NET, I get:
var testObject = new ActivityMeasurementIndexes { Id = 5 };
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(testObject);
"[]"

So, JSON.NET is basically serializing the base List<T> but the properties in the derived type are getting lost.  I could probably refactor this class so it has a public List<ActivityMeasurementIndex> Items { get; set } instead, but we have quite a few of these classes and tons of code that would also have to be refactored.
Is there a good approach to handle this?  I don't really care how the JSON looks as long as I can serialize and deserialize the base list as well as the properties on the class.  I'm guessing I would need to write some sort of custom converter, or maybe there's something JSON.NET can do out of the box to help me out.  Any hints for stuff to read up on would be great!

The 9 x 15 Low Speed Wind Tunnel produces air speeds ranging from 0 to 175 mph. The facility is used for low subsonic testing of propulsion system components at a range of angles of attack. With an acoustically treated test section, the tunnel is used extensively for testing the aerodynamic performance and acoustic characteristics of propulsion components such as inlets, fans, propellers and nozzles. The facility is operated and controlled by a new distributed control system, using alarm and color graphic CRT displays. The facility is equipped with modern steady state and dynamic instrumentation systems. A major facility rehabilitation was completed in 1993 and maintenance improvements continue.


Did you know that having one tragedy in your life does not prevent other bad things from happening to you? It's true. It's totally bogus. I think it should work like this: If you have cancer, you are automatically exempt from car wrecks, gunshot wounds, stubbing your toe, or having anything bad happen to you or any other member of your family. Who's with me on this?
My gyn oncologist called me this morning to say the latest she can do the surgery is Dec.1st. This is because she will be on holiday the last two weeks of the month and she does not want me to be in the hospital while she is not in town. My second opinion is scheduled for Dec.12th with MD Anderson.
I started calling everyone I know and several I do not know. I left a message for the doctor at MDA I have the appointment with and asked her to call me back. I called my sister in law, who used to work in the medical center environment, and then I remembered that her son is actually a lawyer who specializes in health law. Bingo. I am currently awaiting a phone call from the chief of gyn oncology of the methodist hospital in Houston. Also, a woman from MDA returned my call for Dr. Nick and she said there is an opening on Wednesday, she would check with scheduling and call me back.
So now I am sitting here, waiting for that phone call that is going to get me some quicker answers.
Of course all these details and phone calls and coordinating information with different people isn't making me better and it isn't making me worse. But it does feel like I am doing something instead of sitting helpless.
I had a talk with God this afternoon (fyi he doesn't mind if you're on the pot or not), and asked him to make sure all this coordination comes together for the benefit of my health. I asked him to let me finish raising my youngest. He reminded me that he has already made all the promises he is going to make and they do not include getting to see your children grow up. and IF I do not get to finish raising my youngest, He will take care of her.


This product guide provides essential pre-sales information to understand the Lenovo Flex System SI4091 10Gb System Interconnect Module, its key features and specifications, components and options, and configuration guidelines.
This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the SI4091 and consider its use in IT solutions.
The Lenovo® Flex System SI4091 10Gb System Interconnect Module enables simplified, low-cost integration of Flex System™ into your networking infrastructure.
The SI4091 requires no management for most data center environments, which eliminates the need to configure each networking device or individual ports, thus reducing the number of management points. It provides a low latency, loop-free interface that does not rely upon spanning tree protocols, which removes one of the greatest deployment and management complexities of a traditional switch. The SI4091 offers administrators a simplified deployment experience while maintaining the performance of intra-chassis connectivity.
The Flex System Fabric SI4091 System Interconnect Module is shown in the following figure.
The SI4091 provides transparent Flex System connectivity to your Cisco, Juniper, or other vendor network. The SI4091 aggregates compute node ports by appearing as a simple pass-thru device. The upstream network sees a "large pipe" of server traffic coming to and from the chassis, with the main difference being that intra-chassis switching is supported. With the SI4091, a network administration team continues to use the same network management tools that are deployed in the network to manage the connectivity from the physical servers in the chassis to the upstream network.
With support for Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), the SI4091 can be used as an FCoE transit device. It also is ideal for network-attached storage (NAS) and iSCSI environments.
Customers who want simple 10 GbE network connectivity from the chassis to the upstream network, without the complexity of spanning tree and other advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features.
Customers who want to manage physical compute node connectivity in the chassis by using the existing network management tools.
Customers who want to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and improve performance, while maintaining high levels of availability and security.
Customers who want to minimize oversubscription, which can result in congestion and loss of performance.
Customers who want to implement a converged infrastructure with NAS, iSCSI, or FCoE. For FCoE implementations, the SI4091 passes through FCoE traffic upstream to other devices (such as the Lenovo RackSwitch™ G8264CS) where the FC traffic is broken out.
With the growth of virtualization and the evolution of cloud computing, many of today's applications require low latency and high-bandwidth performance. The SI4091 supports sub-microsecond latency and up to 480 Gbps throughput, while delivering full line rate performance.
The SI4091 also offers increased security and performance advantage when configured in VLAN-aware mode; it does not force communications upstream into the network, which reduces latency and generates less network traffic.
The SI4091 simplifies the deployment of a converged LAN and SAN with support for the newest protocols, including Data Center Bridging/Converged Enhanced Ethernet (DCB/CEE), which can be used in a converged iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or NAS environment.
The default configuration of the SI4091 requires little or no management for most data center environments, which eliminates the need to configure each device or individual ports and reduces the number of management points.
Transparent networking The SI4091 is a transparent network device that is invisible to the upstream network and eliminates network administration concerns of Spanning Tree Protocol configuration and interoperability, VLAN assignments, and avoidance of possible loops.
By emulating a host NIC to the data center core, it accelerates the provisioning of virtual machines (VMs) by eliminating the need to configure the typical access switch parameters.
The front panel of the Flex System SI4091 10Gb System Interconnect Module is shown in the following figure.
10x SFP/SFP+ ports to attach SFP/SFP+ transceivers for 1 GbE or 10 GbE connections or SFP+ DAC cables for 10 GbE connections.
One mini-USB RS-232 console port that provides another means to configure the interconnect module.
1x RJ-45 1 GbE port for out-of-band management.
System LEDs that display the status of the interconnect module and the network.

Warranty One-year customer-replaceable unit limited warranty. When installed in a supported chassis, the module assumes the chassis' base warranty and any warranty service upgrade; warranty includes Networking OS software upgrades.
Mean Time Between Failures 261,636 hours with ambient operating temperature of 40° C.
The part number and feature code for ordering the SI4091 module are listed in the following table.
Note: SFP/SFP+ transceivers and DAC cables are not included and should be ordered together with the interconnect module (see Transceivers and cables for details).
The interconnect module does not include a serial management cable; the optional Flex System Management Serial Access Cable (part number 90Y9338) is supported and includes two cables: a mini-USB-to-RJ45 serial cable and a mini-USB-to-DB9 serial cable, either of which can be used to connect to the interconnect module locally for configuration tasks and firmware updates.
For 1 GbE links, customers can use RJ-45 SFP transceivers with UTP cables up to 100 meters. Customers that need longer distances can use a 1000BASE-SX transceiver, which can drive distances up to 220 meters with 62.5 µ multimode fiber (OM1) and up to 550 meters with 50 µ multimode fiber (OM2), or the 1000BASE-LX transceivers that support distances up to 10 kilometers with single-mode fiber (1310 nm).
For 10 GbE links, customers can use SFP+ direct-attached copper (DAC) cables for in-rack cabling for distances up to 7 meters or SFP+ active optical cables (AOCs) for distances up to 20 meters. These cables have SFP+ connectors on each end, and they do not need separate transceivers. For distances up to 30 meters, the 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceiver can be used with Category 6a or 7 RJ-45 UTP cables.
The supported transceivers and cables are listed in the following table.
The network cables that can be used with the SI4091 are listed in the following table.
Note: The features and specifications that are listed in this section are based on Networking OS version 8.4.
In VLAN-agnostic mode (default configuration), the SI4091 transparently forwards VLAN tagged frames without filtering on the customer VLAN tag, which provides an end host view to the upstream network. The interconnect module provides traffic consolidation in the chassis to minimize TOR port utilization. It also enables compute node-to-compute node communication for optimum performance (for example, vMotion). It can be connected to the FCoE transit switch or FCoE gateway (FC Forwarder) device.
In VLAN-aware mode (optional configuration), the SI4091 provides more security for multi-tenant environments by extending client VLAN traffic isolation to the interconnect module and its external ports. VLAN-based access control lists (ACLs) can be configured on the SI4091. When FCoE is used, the SI4091 operates as an FCoE transit switch, and it should be connected to the FCF device.
Layer 2 Trunk Failover to support active/standby configurations of NIC teaming on compute nodes.
Hot Links provide basic link redundancy and fast recovery for network topologies without a need for Spanning Tree protocol.
VLAN-based access control lists (ACLs) (VLAN-aware mode).
Multiple user IDs and passwords.
Radius, TACACS+, and LDAP authentication and authorization.
Quality of service (QoS): Support for IEEE 802.1p traffic classification and processing.
Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) extends 802.3x standard flow control to allow the module to pause traffic that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
The SI4091 carries a 1-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU) limited warranty. When installed in a supported chassis, these I/O modules assume your system's base warranty and any warranty service upgrade.
The I/O modules are installed in I/O bays in the rear of the Flex System Chassis, as shown in the following figure. I/O modules are typically installed in pairs because ports on the I/O adapters that are installed in the compute nodes are routed to two I/O bays for redundancy and performance.
The SI4091 interconnect modules can be installed in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Flex System chassis. A supported adapter must be installed in the corresponding slot of the compute node. Although an adapter can use up to four ports to connect to the respective I/O module bay, the SI4091 can use only one of the four ports.
In compute nodes that have an integrated dual-port 10 GbE network interface controller (NIC), NIC ports are routed to bays 1 and 2 with a specialized periscope connector (the adapter card is not required). However, the periscope connector can be replaced with the adapter when needed. In such a case, integrated NIC is disabled.
The following table shows compatibility information for the SI4091 and Flex System chassis.
The following table lists the adapters that are supported by the I/O module.
† The Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter is built into selected compute nodes.
** The Embedded 1 Gb Ethernet controller is built into selected compute nodes.
The most common SI4091 connectivity topology, which can be used with both Lenovo and non-Lenovo upstream network devices, is shown in the following figure.
In this loop-free redundant topology, each SI4091 is physically connected to a separate Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch with static or LACP aggregated links.
When the SI4091 is used with the Lenovo RackSwitch switches, Virtual Link Aggregation Groups (vLAGs) can be used for load balancing and redundancy purposes. The virtual link aggregation topology with the Lenovo RackSwitch G8272 is shown in the following figure.
In this loop-free topology, aggregation is split between two physical switches, which appear as a single logical switch. Each SI4091 is connected to ToR switches through static or LACP aggregated links.
Dual isolated SAN fabrics: If you plan to use FCoE in a dual isolated SAN fabric design approach (also known as SAN air gaps), consider the SI4091 connectivity topology shown in Figure 4 (Link Aggregation).
The following table lists the 10 Gb Ethernet network switches that are offered by Lenovo that can be used with the SI4091 interconnect module in Flex System network connectivity solutions.
* The SI4091 supports FCoE transit switch operations when connected to the RackSwitch G8264CS.
The SI4091 interconnect module can be used for external NAS, iSCSI, or FCoE SAN storage connectivity. The following table lists the external storage systems that are offered by Lenovo that can be used with the SI4091 interconnect module in storage connectivity solutions.
For FCoE storage connectivity, the SI4091 interconnect module transports encapsulated FCoE packets to the Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF), which provides end-to-end 10 Gb FCoE connectivity for storage systems with native FCoE ports or FCoE/FC gateway connectivity for storage systems with native FC ports.


In this paper, we obtained the first brain map of a complete fruit fly head at 10 micron isotropic resolution, the highest ever reported by MR for a complete head. Using two complementary imaging sequences revealed the superior power of DWI to dissect the brain architecture at close to cellular resolution.
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) coupled with solid state NMR can provide orders of magnitude enhancement to normally weak NMR signals, thereby enabling the study of inherently dilute proteins such as membrane proteins. Here we demonstrate a new approach to obtain DNP signal enhancements of membrane proteins by utilizing spin labeled lipids as the polarization agents. This strategy results in more than 2x in signal enhancements of a membrane protein when compared to standard DNP sample preparation techniques.
CrgA, a key Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell division protein that recruits five other proteins to the cell division apparatus has been structurally characterized using oriented sample and magic angle spinning solid state NMR. The protein has two transmembrane helices and an intrinsically disordered N-terminus. Binding sites have been identified for it's binding partners. Evaluating these binding sites may lead to effective drugs for either promoting and inhibiting cell division, both of which are of prime interest for the treatment of tuberculosis.
13C NMR when used in metabolomics 1. Provides better peak list for database matching and spectral annotation, 2. Provides better group separation and loadings annotation when using multivariate statistical analysis, and 3. Prevents possible misidentification of metabolites.
Square-planar high-spin Fe(II) molecular compounds are rare. Using an easily modifiable pincer-type ligand, the successful synthesis of the first compound of this type that breaks the FeO4 motif was achieved, and the first spectroscopic evidence that the geometry and spin state persist in solution was obtained.
AMRIS 11.1 and 17.6T Magnets and probes were used to directly image gene expression in live mouse muscles with in vivo 31P NMR techniques.
Targeted theranostic nanovehicles are capable of targeting cerebrovascular amyloid associated with Alzheimer's Disease and serving as early diagnostic and therapeutic agents across multiple imaging modalities. Assessed in animal models at 21.1 T, these nanovehicles were loaded with gadolinium-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), iodine-based single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) or fluorescent contrast agents as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-amyloidogenic pharmaceuticals to demonstrate targeted enhancement and treatment in cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
A new non-Brownian model of anomalous translational diffusion in nervous tissue is introduced and applied to the brain. This model provides new fractional order parameters of diffusion, entropy, waiting time and jump length that represent unique markers of morphology in neural tissue.
Structures of antimicrobial peptides piscidins 1 and 3 were solved in two bacterial cell mimics by oriented sample solid-state NMR. A significant finding of this work is that in contrast to the ideal structures shown in mechanistic studies of AMPs, the structures of both peptides are disrupted and kinked at a conserved central glycine, which results in stronger interactions with the lipid bilayers. The more pronounced imperfect amphipathicity of piscidin 1 over piscidin 3 that is revealed helps better understand why the former more effectively mixes the lipids as needed to induce the greatest damage to bacterial cells.

Shoulda Coulda Wouldas #16: "The Good House"
Multiple sources revealed yesterday that Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline have been tapped to star in the film adaptation of Ann Leary's 2013 novel, The Good House. For regular readers of this blog, you probably know that I've been holding a bit of a candle for this project for six years now, ever since it was announced that Streep was set to start alongside Robert De Niro. I had pretty much given up hope of ever seeing this story reach the screen, and when I woke up this morning to an alert on my blog that it had been recast, I wasn't really sure what to think.
My first thought was how out of the blue this seemed. I'd assumed this film had died and gone to development hell. But from what I understand, filming is already underway in Canada. The film will be directed by married couple Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky (I know, who?!)--there never had been a previous director attached. Amblin Partners is producing, with Universal handling distribution. Michael Cunningham had been reportedly working on the adaptation in 2013, but the articles I've read suggest that Forbes and Wolordarsky wrote the script. My guess is that the director pair revised Cunningham's original adaptation.
While I'm excited to see this story brought to the screen, I feel it's an unfortunate missed opportunity for Meryl. Nobody knows how the film is ultimately going to pan out, but I'm very familiar with the book, and have for years now found is protagonist, Hildy Good, a fascinating character. Shes a 60-something realtor on Boston's North Shore: successful, strident, a mother, grandmother, divorced from a gay husband, descended from Salem witches, purportedly psychic, and desperately trying to hide her love affair with alcohol. Imagine Meryl negotiating this woman!
After reading the novel when it was announced Meryl was attached to the film adaptation, I've regularly revisited parts of the story, thanks to the amazing audible version narrated by the great Mary Beth Hurt. It's become a nostalgic story for me. With its historic town, numerous fall and winter scenes, witty dialogue, and comprehensive characterizations, it's a setting that's become entrenched in my mind.
My hope is that the film does the story justice. I remember hearing Ann Leary in an interview a couple years ago saying that it was still in the development process, and that the producer, Jane Rosenthal, really wanted the script and characters to be as perfect as possible. It'd be great if the reason it's taken six years to go into production was because they were doing just that. Weaver is of course a brilliant actress, so I look forward to her interpretation of the role. On paper, it seems the type of project and character that would garner a lot of attention.
Sadly, The Good House has gone the way of other projects from the not-so-distant past for which Meryl was originally attached. The Last Station, Saving Mr. Banks, and Julieta all ended up being made with other actors in the main roles. In recent years, I had expected The Good House to fall more along the lines of Daughter of the Queen of Sheba, Dirty Tricks and Master Class, all of which have never reached the screen.
I hope Let Them All Talk and The Prom end up being worth Meryl missing out this fall. Lord knows there are a thousand possible reasons why she never stuck with the project (see The Last Station et al.). Regardless, when The Good House hits theaters in 2020, I'll be one of the first in line.

"The Laundromat" garnering tepid reviews
The Laundromat has now been shown at both the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals. Over forty reviews have been counted, and I'm disappointed to report that most critics are giving it a thumbs-sideways. The majority of concerns seem to center on the fact that the film it disjointed and smug, does not give enough time to cover the wide swath of ground it wishes to traverse, and is wasting its impressive cast on too much frivolity for such a serious topic.
While that's disappointing to read, Meryl is generally getting best-in-show notices. There are rumblings about the fact that she portrays more than one character, one being a Panamanian woman, and how that may be a a misguided and even offensive example of "brownface."
Those detractors are few, but loud, and from what I can understand, the criticism is probably misplaced. I'll hold off on getting too into it until I see the film, but more to come on that.
The sad thing about the film not doing well is that it's likely going to cost Meryl any love come awards season. I could see it having a better chance at the Golden Globes, but and Oscar nom may be out of reach this time.
There's always Big Little Lies.

Streep receives Actor Tribute Award at Toronto International Film Festival
Meryl was on hand in Toronto yesterday to promote The Laundromat. She and Joaquin were also both recipients of the inaugural "Actor Tribute" awards. I've been unable to find a video of her speech, but here's a snippet from The Los Angeles Times:
"Lately, I've been asking myself a question," she said of picking her projects. "Does this help or does this hurt? Is this piece of material something that needs to be in the world right now, for whatever reason? And even if it doesn't help, even if it's just silly and fun, does it on the other hand do damage? Does it make us complacent? What is it, what is it?
"Every artist here has made a choice about the material that they've done; they've decided to contribute something either by default or by intention," she continued. "This festival is moving the needle by intention. And even though we didn't create the moment that we find ourselves in, we can't cure it individually, we can't control it, but we sure can contribute to its toxicity.
"I just want us all to be really mindful," Streep concluded. "Time is short — as you reach a certain milestone you realize that. So we should all do the things that count, even if it's just to get a laugh."
Wise as always. I wish The Laundromat were getting better reviews. It's hovering around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a total of 25 reviews counted. There are many more sure to come. It would be great it somehow managed to sneak past the 60% "fresh" mark. Even with that, however, this is FAR from a critical darling.
Meryl seems to be getting pretty good individual notices, however, and it's clear she's willing to campaign for this. It'll be interesting to see how it fares from an awards standpoint.
The film is in select theaters on September 27, preceding its release to Netflix on October 18.

"Let Them All Talk" completed in thirteen days
Meryl did several interviews in Venice for the premiere of The Laundromat, and in one of them, she states that Let Them All Talk took only thirteen days to shoot.
From Deadline:
Streep marveled of upcoming Soderberg collaboration Let Them All Talk, "Steven and I just finished a film in 13 days. He's an artist for this time." Chimed in the director, "Advances in technology have allowed me to optimize a process that I felt wasn't moving at the pace that was beneficial to the process. Now I can use the camera as a pen essentially and write it in real time. It' better for me, not for everybody. I found through some unsuccessful endeavors that I work best when I have to work quickly."
That's wild. I can't help but feel a little skeptical of quality when something that's implied to be feature length is completed so quickly. But I'm trying to keep an open mind.
I'll be curious to see if this project gets a theatrical release. It culd be be better for Meryl's award chances if it were Emmy-bound, as she'll also have Ryan Murphy's The Prom next year.

"The Laundromat" premieres at Venice
Yesterday, Steven Soderbergh's Panama Papers comedy The Laundromat premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, and Meryl was on hand for the event:
Looking stunning as usual. There are close to a dozen reviews for the film already counted so far, and in general, the responses are decent. Its score on Metacritic is only 59 with eleven reviews, while at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, with twelve. Hopefully the score goes up a bit in the next few weeks. While Meryl is getting good notices, her chances for awards recognition go down if the film isn't as well-received.
Next up is the Toronto International Film Festival later this week. The film will be in select theaters September 27, and will be available to stream on Netflix on October 18.

Have fun in London and the SW it has got to stop raining soon.......please!!
This is a nice home indeed, but I would very much more be in London:)Enjoy!
have a great time in London and hopefully the sun will come out soon!
I can't wait to go to London and thank you for the recommendation! Perhaps, next year, London will be my dream trip. I am loving this house. It's so real and familiar. Have a nice day!
A perfect place during this time of the year. The house is so laid-back, makes me feel so fine and relaxed. Play that Lazy Song will you!
I really like the painted wood plank walls. Wishing you some sunshine soon!

If you were to ask us what Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, and Alber Elbaz have in common, our first guess would not be cute yellow cartoon characters. In the premiere short film for Condé Nast Britain, it's these adorable, kinda squeaky beings that are currently tying a huge part of the fashion world together — Suzy Menkes and Alexandra Shulman, alike. All hail the power of The Minions (and its mightier ad dollars).
Photo: Courtesy of Vogue UK.
As the stars of this summer's family-friendly flick, The Minions have officially infiltrated the fashion industry. Along with locking down a Pantone shade of their very own, they've landed a British Vogue cover — at least, according to the film below. In it, Menkes herself begins by stating that the Minions are the one name as synonymous with the industry as Vogue itself. That's a bold claim there, Suzy. But it's one she can back up.
"I feel so awkward. It's like such a secret and I thought it was just mine," says Lanvin's creative director, Alber Elbaz, who has certainly never shied away from a sense of whimsy. "I'm so upset everyone knows I have these minions helping me and doing everything at Lanvin." Dolce, Gabbana, as well as milliner Stephen Jones and shoe designer Rupert Sanderson admit to much of the same.
But while we're kind of surprised that this esteemed lineup all have a deep love of the endearing Minion characters, what's more impressive is how fast the Minions have been able to infiltrate the industry. Kevin, Bob, and Stuart are making their way up there with Cinderella and her glass slippers — who also collaborated with a plethora of designers — except they've only been part of pop culture for the last few years. Of course, if there's any industry that knows how to set a trend, the minions have found it. The film below is proof.

Home Jurisdiction New South Wales ICAC's warning for senior NSW officials: how the modern workplace is incentivising misconduct
ICAC's warning for senior NSW officials: how the modern workplace is incentivising misconduct
By Harley Dennett
Tuesday December 4, 2018
ICAC's first report aimed at senior New South Wales public officials warns that changes to the way government services are delivered have created opportunities for emerging corruption.
Blurring lines between government, private and not-for-profit sectors, badly-managed organisational change, and rules that unintentionally encourage corrupt conduct are some of the key new contributing factors to emerging corruption risks, according to the report released today by ICAC Chief Commissioner, the Hon Peter Hall QC.
Hall said that while the level of public sector corruption in NSW is low by global standards, there is no room for complacency and that public sector agencies should heed the tips and advice in the report.
"The nature of corruption is that it does not stagnate," Hall (pictured) said. "As the report says, if systemic and operational weaknesses are not addressed, corruption can take hold and cause significant damage to an agency's finances, productivity and reputation. And there are plenty of cases canvassed in this report that have been investigated by the ICAC and other agencies which demonstrate the dire consequences of being caught short by corruption."
The vanishing line between public and private has consequences
As the private sector performs more and more tasks for and on behalf of government, the opportunities for corruption in procurement and contract management continues to grow warns the commission.
Beyond the growing value and volume of contracts, the individuals performing procurement activities for agencies are themselves increasingly likely to be contractors, or recently recruited from the private sector. Who is and isn't allowed access to confidential information is no longer as clear cut as it once was as contractors often need access, but in doing so they become targets for cybercrime:
"As permanent employees and contractors mix and work together, it becomes administratively complex to determine who is entitled to access internal information. In addition, as contractors obtain greater access to government information, they become targets for cybercrimes that could harm the public sector."
ICAC found senior officials were still "getting the basics wrong" to prevent misuse of the state's nearly $24 billion spend on goods and services. With more than half of all ICAC investigations involve procurement and contract management, it has a wealth of examples to draw on when it came up with a list of common forms of fraud:
buying goods and services that are not needed and unwarranted scope creep
employees awarding work to suppliers they own or control, without disclosing a conflict of interest (or suppliers owned/controlled by a close friend or relative)
allowing the supplier to design the scope of work or specifications
engaging in direct negotiations contrary to agency policy
paying for excessive hours, or excessive hourly rates, for labour hire services
paying invoices without performing a three-way match (that is, the purchase order, invoice and documented receipt of goods and services all correspond) or raising purchase orders after invoices have been submitted
splitting orders or payments to avoid scrutiny by a more senior officer or to remain below thresholds requiring competition
failing to issue a tender or obtain three quotes as required by policy
obtaining false/misleading tender responses or quotes
failing to record the receipt of goods and services and not updating asset registers.
Increasing reliance on overseas supply chains, and insider reports of high turnover of procurement staff and insufficient training might also be contributing factors, the commission notes, but the obligation for setting is on senior leaders.
ICAC research has found that almost one-third of NSW government suppliers have not bid on a government contract because of corruption concerns.
Agencies losing capacity to manage their own controls
Poor executed organisation change is a risk in itself, warns the commission as agencies find themselves under pressure to find efficiencies and prioritise the delivery of frontline services, but in doing so may give up the ability to manage their own controls. Frontline staff have increased in the thousands (roughly 8000 over the last 5 years), but at the same time non-frontline staff have fallen by an even greater number (roughly 12,000).
Staff in governance, risk management and corruption prevention roles are being asked to maintain high standards in an environment of constraining resources. This in turn creates an over-reliance on trusted individuals, which the commission notes have the greatest opportunities to engage in corrupt conduct.
The commission listed examples of poorly executed organisational change:
Transformations that are not completed before the next period of organisational change begins. This can occur if a restructure leads to the appointment of new management, who proceed to embark on yet another restructure. This can have an adverse effect on staff morale and the control environment.
Restructures that involve redundancies or internal competition for roles are associated with complaints about corrupt favouritism.
Restructures often focus on obtaining lean processes or cost savings. This can result in important controls being removed or weakened, which inadvertently increases the overall exposure to the risk of corruption.
The staff deployed to work on the change project are not properly backfilled. This can mean important corruption prevention controls are not performed for extended periods of time.
Lengthy change projects can result in an unhealthy proportion of staff working in acting roles or in two roles simultaneously. This diminishes the rigour of managerial supervision, which is a key corruption prevention control. Accountability may be fragmented, where:
staff are reporting to more than one supervisor, or managers are performing dual roles, resulting in conflicting priorities
there is difficulty in keeping track of all the work undertaken by a member of staff
changes of responsibility are made without adequate arrangements to ensure capability
duplicate or shadow functions exist (which can arise, for example, following a failed attempt to centralise a function)
staff are overworked
roles are blurred resulting in lack of clarity about who is responsible for exercising particular controls.
The turmoil of change can make it difficult to keep up with routine controls such as reporting lines, approved holders of financial delegations and information and communication technology access. This can breed a variety of workarounds, including password sharing.
Policies and procedures may lag the change process and become out-of-date, making them impossible to follow. Alternatively, if agencies are being merged or subsumed into a cluster, there may be multiple policies and procedures, or even no policies and procedures at all.
Planned corruption prevention initiatives, such as training, audits, risk assessments and data analytics, may be delayed because it is impractical to conduct them during a period of intense change.
An adverse effect on morale and the willingness to speak up about misconduct
Well-intentioned KPIs can also create a moral hazard for non-frontline employees, such as centralised staff in a corporate services centre. The commission says spotting red flags that might be associated with corruption requires a degree of nous but becomes difficult when they are focused on processing tasks.
KPIs and rules can have unintended consequences
Not all cases of corruption are individuals with a premeditated plan to enrich themselves. Others may be a influenced by the environment they work in, including factors that subtle ways that are not readily observable or under policies that where the formal expectations and informal behaviours encourage different behaviours.
The commission provides an example: a policy or rule that unspent recurrent appropriations must be returned to Treasury, meant to encourage fiscal responsibility and accountability, could actually encourage breaches in procurement policy at year's-end and paying for good services not delivered or not required.
Counter-productive incentives do not necessarily need to be financial, the commission notes, as Victorian police officers reportedly faked at least 258,000 breath tests in order to meet their targets.
Policy or rule says
Intended to encourage
But might actually encourage
Unspent recurrent appropriations must be returned to NSW Treasury at year end Fiscal responsibility and accountability Breaches in procurement policy at the end of the year; paying for goods and services not delivered or not required
Purchases must be accompanied by three quotes Competition and value for money Quotes that are fake or clearly not intended to be competitive
"Buy local" procurement policy Economic development in a local area Suppliers masquerading as local companies or collusion between local and non-local suppliers
Agency employee headcount should be capped Savings in payroll costs Overspending on contractors and consultants that do not fall under the headcount, and hiding the cost of specialist contractors within capital expenditure
Reduce number of complaints (about misconduct or bullying, poor customer service, unsafe work practices and so on) Management action to reduce the incidence of undesirable events Cover-ups, misclassification and under-reporting of complaints
Approval for a transaction requires three signatures High degree of senior oversight, thereby reducing the chance of fraud or error Diffusion of accountability, where each signatory assumes the other two will have given the matter their full attention and therefore does not check the paperwork
Requiring all purchasing card transactions to be approved by a senior executive Having a high level of scrutiny over expenditure Senior executive approving without properly checking or delegating the task to an assistant (possibly by providing a login and password)
Repair all serious damage to buildings and facilities within three days Timely resolution and improved amenity and safety Serious damage is defined as non-serious and/or quality is compromised; abuse of emergency procurement procedures
Academics should maximise the number of publications in recognised journals The good reputation of the university and its staff Falsifying or exaggerating research findings, publishing in poor-quality journals, splitting findings across multiple papers and plagiarism
Calls to the customer complaint line to be answered within 10 seconds Good customer service Customer service operators ending calls prematurely or without actually solving the customer's problem
Procurement staff must achieve fixed-dollar cost-savings Procurement staff must achieve fixed-dollar cost-savings The engagement of lowest cost suppliers rather than best overall value for money
All relevant documents should be provided in response to a relevant request under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 Open access to information about the affairs of government Public officials failing to create records, and using unauthorised email or document management systems
All invoices should be paid within 30 days Timely payment and fair treatment for suppliers Paying an invoice without performing due diligence/assurance checks on the supplier or the goods and services supplied

As I review annuity rates at the beginning of May 2018 I am struggling to say anything new because there has been little meaningful change to rates over the last few months except for relatively small changes to some rates when yields have changed.
Annuity rates have been stuck in a narrow band for the last 8 months with the benchmark annuity rate (£100,000 for joint life 2/3rds, ages 65 and 60 with level payments) paying between £ 4,400 and £ 4,650 per annum gross. This means the maximum change over the last 8 months has been around 5.5% or an extra £ 250 per annum for every £100,000 invested. As a well-known supermarket says 'every little helps' but such a modest increase hardly signals a change in fortunes for annuities.
There should be no surprise at the relative stability in the annuity market because, the benchmark 15-year gilt yield has only moved slightly within the narrow range 1.6% to 1.9%. I have previously said that yields will need to go higher than 2% before meaningful increase happen but there are no signs that yields will move higher at the moment.
See my week by week changes to annuity rates and gilt yields.
At the beginning of the year I was optimistic that yields would rise resulting in increased annuity rates and therefore annuities would become popular. I also predicted that drawdown would become less attractive, especially for those with smaller funds, if there was a fall in equity prices.
It seems I was wrong on both counts as annuities have stayed in the doldrums and despite the fall in equity prices towards the end of January, there is no sign that advisers or their clients have less of an appetite for drawdown, despite the market correction earlier this year.
I still think the outlook for annuities rates is positive and rates will eventually return to levels where they will give drawdown a run for its money. However, yields will need to increase by a good margin before this happens.
I use the 15-year gilt yield as quoted in the FT as the benchmark for monitoring annuity rates. Currently it is in the range 1.7 to 1.9%, but it will have to increase to well over 2% before we see meaningful increases in annuity income.
This begs the question; "what is a meaningful increase"? At the moment the best rate for my benchmark annuity (£100,000 for joint life 2/3rds, ages 65 and 60 with level payments) is £ 4,617 from Canada Life. I think an annual gross income of more than £ 5,000 per annum is needed.
So anybody waiting for significantly higher annuity rates shouldn't hold their breath as it may be long time coming.
Finally, annuity rates may be slow to increase, but equity markets could be quick to fall if something dramatic were to happen in the world. This means that drawdown investors should ensure they are not taking undue risk and should make sure their portfolios are invested in such a way as to protect against the possibility of a sudden market downturn.

I have read that State Sen. Steven Oroho's gas tax will increase by 4.3 cents (11.59 percent) Oct. 1, doing additional harm to all residents, especially commuters in the 24th District. This will amount to a combined gas tax increase of 185.52 percent in just two years.
Additionally, if the total gallonage of motor fuel pumped in New Jersey continues to decline (because of federal clean car standards, or because people can't afford to buy gas), Senator Oroho's gas tax will continue to escalate.
How much safer are these "clean" (lighter) cars? Does your "clean" car even have a full-sized spare or a "temporary spare tire," or aluminum rims to save a few pounds? I overheard a dealer service rep giving a woman an estimate of over $1,000 to have the rims on her car straightened.
Meanwhile, residents of other counties, who enjoy state- (read that taxpayer) subsidized commuter buses and rail, are not paying any gas tax into the Transportation Trust Fund, even though they are benefiting from it.
In a guest editorial in the Aug. 22 Star-Ledger, Oroho wrote: "Our state's unaffordable and uncompetitive tax structure is driving many of our families, employers and jobs to other states. The data are undeniable."
But then I read that Oroho is a co-sponsor of Senate President Steve Sweeney's, D-Gloucester, proposed $1 billion school referendum, which Gov. Murphy has cut to $500 million. How much will it cost taxpayers to pay off a $500 million bond issue?
Which side of his mouth is Oroho speaking from today?
Supposedly Oroho is a financial expert; therefore, I don't want to believe that Oroho doesn't understand this and isn't doing something to protect us.
Are there any true conservative Republicans in the 24th District who will run for Oroho's seat in the next election?

Home composting course in la Mola
The Formentera Council has organised a course on home composting to take place Saturday 12 March in the primary school of la Mola. Residents interested in attending can sign up at the office of environment located on carrer Mallorca in Sant Ferran. Led by specialist Juanjo Torres of the group Amics de la Terra, the course costs €20 per person, but, as department head Daisee Aguilera pointed out in her office's presentation of the course this morning, participants will each come away with a compost bin valued at €100, as well as the knowledge of how to use it.
"Residents will have the opportunity to see how waste can be transformed into usable products. This helps people reduce the environmental impact of what they do at home", said Aguilera. Councillor Aguilera highlighted the Formentera Council's efforts to revitalise the local countryside and said the goal of the composting classes is "to give Formentera residents the tools to use organic waste and scraps to enrich their land". "Any waste we can reuse is waste that doesn't end up at the Es cap de Barbaria transfer plant", she noted.
Hazel Morgan, a representative of Amics de la Terra, called the home composting push important because "it's the most sustainable way to make use of the organic waste generated at the domestic level". For his part, Torres called home composting "surprisingly easy" and encouraged residents to seize the opportunity of the classes. He noted that compost can be used both in the garden and vegetable patch.
Composting for young people
Staff specialist Javier Asensio announced plans to hold the course at the la Mola primary school – a model site, given that the school's own vegetable garden already serves as a lesson in home composting for la Mola kids. Asensio said that beyond the course itself, which will be both theory-based and hands-on, Amics de la Terra also envisions "phone-based support and a follow-up visit to each student's home" to make sure the compost bins are being used correctly.
All additional costs will be covered by the Council; so far this has meant a contribution of €3,000. Organisers hope to schedule a second version of the course before summer starts. Between this Saturday's course and a second one, the Council says some 50 residents can benefit. The course is included as part of the activities programme for the 15th Olimpíada Pagesa. Organisers thanked the Olimpíada's planning team for their support and the Trasmapi company for helping with travel costs.
Four Formentera pupils are finalists in Aqualia international drawing contest for children
Four chosen from among 8,500 participating pupils from different municipalities in Spain and Portugal where Aqualia provides service
Councillor of culture delivers awards
Maria Ferrer of Mestre Andreu primary school and Àlex Castelló, Carlos Wenham and Valentina Ferrer of Sant Ferran de Ses Roques, have been picked as finalists in the individual category of the Aqualia company's Concurs Internacional de Dibuix Infantil. As a prize, CiF head of culture Susana Labrador presented each of the finalists a copy of the game El meu primer hort ('my first vegetable garden'). The head of Aqualia's municipal water service, Maria Del Mar Yern, was also present as prizes were handed out.
Councillor Labrador congratulated the pupils on their hard work and underscored the importance of "raising awareness among young people about using our resources wisely and not wasting".
Mar Yern, for her part, applauded the participants' creativity, saying she was "taken aback by the finalists' ability to show us what their ideal worlds look like. They've given these places life, delivering water to people, animals and plants – just like Aqualia does every day".
The competition, a nod to World Water Day, has the slogan "Omple el teu món de vida" ('Fill your world with life'). Organisers say their goal is to "promote sustainability at the most local level". Crucial to doing that, they say, "is a responsible use of natural resources like water".
This year some 8,500 third and fourth year pupils from different Spanish and Portuguese municipalities in Aqualia's service area took park in the competition. The contest also served to promote new technologies and sustainable development, because children were encouraged to avoid using paper. The competition was organised on the microsite www.ompleelteumondevida.cat (www.llenatumundodevida.es), where participants could find hordes of illustrations to help them recreate their idea of a perfect world and then name it.
Now in its thirteenth year, the Concurs Internacional is an initiative to educate youth about the water cycle. Organisers hope to help young people see that, with a few simple steps, everyone can contribute to a more efficient use of this precious natural resource.

Council of Entities rejects proposal to create "unloading spot", pledges perseverance
The Council of Entities (Consell d'Entitats) met yesterday at 8 p.m. to discuss the proposal by the Balearic port authority (APB) to create an "unloading spot" for boats arriving in Eivissa from Formentera. Under the APB plan, Formentera boats would make an initial stop at an area of the port called el Martell before finally mooring at the commercial-use dock, the proposed site of the new Formentera port in Eivissa. Local group leaders present at last night's meeting likened the plan to a "bait-and-switch" because transport companies would be under no obligation to respect the el Martell stop. They also pointed out, among other disadvantages, that the unloading stop would lack necessary services and asserted that to accept the APB proposal would be tantamount to accepting an definitive move to the commercial dock.
Speaking after the meeting, CiF councillor of community involvement Sònia Cardona emphasised the unanimity of the Council of Entities' decision. She also announced the creation of a working group "to draft a document compiling the reasons the people of Formentera have rejected relocating the station and of an unloading spot". In addition, the working group will create an action plan concerning the steps to be taken in Formentera. Councillor Cardona seized the opportunity to praise the people of Formentera on a process that ensures local involvement and gives a voice to residents.
Junta de Portaveus to consult local community leaders on port site
The Formentera Council (CiF) Junta de Portaveus, a committee formed by spokespeople from each political party with Council representation, and Jaume Ferrer, president of the CiF, held a meeting to discuss the Balearic port authority (APB) and Ajuntament d'Eivissa-backed proposal to site the Formentera ferry station in the port of Vila.
The president described to Junta members the proposal transmitted to him by APB president Joan Gual de Torrella last Friday, which includes building "a stop in the northern tip of el Martell in the Eivissa port, where passengers will disembark". The proposal then has boats continuing on to the commercial dock area of the port to dock.
President Ferrer conveyed the administration's doubts about the plan, which he noted provides for a passenger disembarkation in el Martell for Eivissa-bound boats from Formentera, but not the other way around. "One of the points that needs discussing is allowing passenger boarding to occur in that same area", said Ferrer. He reminded Junta members that the current port authority plan lacks any such provision. The Junta has agreed to "wait for the meeting of the Council of Entities, this evening at half past seven". Describing the goal for the gathering, the CiF president said attendees would "debate the issue with an eye to settling on a decision".
