Christmas 2016 was our first Christmas as a family of four! When I realized this, I figured, why not write about it for the sake of posterity? Next year, when my kids are almost four and almost two, no matter where, how, and with whom we celebrate our Christmas, we'll never be able to recreate this first time. So I write this long post for myself – so I can revisit in later years and remember this first time fondly.
Two years ago when J was 10 months old, my sister and her family drove all the way to Chicago from the upper Northeast to celebrate Christmas with us. We were so late to the tree shopping game that they actually hauled their tree on their road trip. This year, I started early and in November when I saw a great deal on Target.com, I jumped at it. Within four days, the tree arrived in a box at our doorstep and we were all set.
Christmas ornaments aren't cheap, depending on whom you ask. I remembered what great deals my sister and I had gotten on a bunch of after-Christmas sale things at our Chicago Target the day after so I figured I'll just buy a few basic ornaments now for Christmas and buy the rest at 50% off the day after. Because one box of 12 ornaments weren't enough, I packed TJ in the car, still in his PJs, and we drove to the dollar store to buy a few more.
We did this buying and setting up of our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving because after a memorable visit from the grandparents, TJ was feeling sad and we needed something to take his mind off. I also bought a tree skirt and our stockings at the dollar store. You should see the prices of these at regular stores!!! A good tree skirt runs upwards of $19.99…wth!! For now, a $1 skirt will have to do.
As is tradition in many households, TJ made a list for Santa – a list of all the things he wanted for Christmas. I was surprised he was into this so much and came up with everything on his own. I had already bought him his favorite garbage truck at a consignment sale – this is the first thing he picks up at our local library's playtime and absolutely loves it and so when I saw this at the sale, I bought it, in October – so I may have had something to do with putting the idea of asking one from Santa in his head…I can be sneaky like that! He also asked for garbage, quite naturally because every garbage truck needs garbage to go with, Lightening stickers (as in Disney Pixar Cars characters' stickers), and puzzles.
I was really, really excited about doing these with my kiddo. We did a bunch of them, every Friday, leading up to the big day. We painted and decorated pinecones, and maple leaves, made a picture frame as a gift for his friend, and three ornaments with photos of each kid and one of them both. At times, the making of these arts and crafts was more stressful than was worth doing and one day I'll call the BS on toddler activities that create more stress than delight but for now, seeing the end results, I do believe they were all good things to do with my child at this age.
As he gets older, I am not sure, he's going to want to sit patiently with his mother and do crafts so I do want to appreciate what I have and did with my 2-year-old this Christmas. Thankfully, when he tires, I'll have Baby E to turn to as it will be her age to engage in arts and crafts. Hopefully. For memories' sake.
If you remember, I had made Shrewsbury Biscuits for Diwali. I ended up with so much cookie dough, that on Aaron's advice, I had frozen a big chunk of it. Hallelujah! This pre-made dough saved me a whole lot of time, stress, and anxiety which I am very, very prone to during the holidays, especially with things related to cooking (or baking). With the dough ready to go, and the baking of cookies which I only remembered at 7:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, my anxieties were relatively easily tamed. However, because I had a tough time figuring out the cookie cutter press – Wilton Cookie Pro Ultra II Cookie Press , I was back to stressing out anyway. The fact that TJ wanted to eat the raw cookie dough was only adding to the aggravation. Thanks to Aaron's patience and help in figuring out the Cookie Pro (I was just too tired to figure it out on my own but once I learned how to use it, it was actually fun to do).
We had to delay TJ's bedtime because well…the cookies still needed to be baked, cooled, and decorated after being cut into design. So while the cookies baked, we played, 'Elf on the Shelf' with him.
This was a lot of fun. Some people play this game for a few days leading up to Christmas. We didn't. I think just playing it on Christmas Eve while waiting for the cookies to bake is perfect. TJ had a lot of fun trying to look for the runaway Elf. We hid him in all kinds of places and he found him each time, laughing with glee and joy as he ran around the living room listening for the Elf to make a sound or start singing. I had never played this before (being a Hindu Indian and growing up in India and all) but I enjoyed it as much as my kid. I look forward to next year when I'll have both the kids running around looking for the Elf. It's more fun when the search becomes a little competitive (or, maybe not. I'll find out next Christmas).
Once the cookies were baked, it was time to let them cool, and finally time to decorate them. I had only purchased Wilton's red cookie icing which worked well for our purpose. Next year, I may purchase the three pack Wilton Christmas Cookie Icing Set, 3-Pack just to give TJ and E more coloring options.
Also, I will start the baking process much sooner in the day so we don't have to rush through it, so I can be patient with the messes the kids make and take it all in stride.
Somehow I lose my holiday or Christmas spirit when I see messes and that's just not right, not with kids who WILL make a mess decorating cookies and the sooner I accept that, the happier we'll all be.
TJ did all the decorating by himself. On the right is the plate the next day after Santa had, had his fill. Once the cookies were ready, I poured a glass of milk and TJ carried it all the way to set up next to the tree for Santa to eat and drink. It was so cute, watching him carry the plate, oh so carefully, to the table.
We packed all the presents on Christmas Eve. Because we packed all our presents together, Aaron and I knew what we bought for the other. In fact, I purchased my own present from him and told him that, that was what he was giving me – Burberry Touch. For him, I got the essentials, undershirts and underwear. I also bought him a new wireless router but really, it is for all of us. Funny how we start buying more practical things as the years of marriage advance.
Unbeknownst to the other though, we each had separately wrapped something for the other so there be at least one element of surprise. Isn't that cute? We both thought alike and didn't find out until the next morning. I got him a San Jose Sharks winter hat and he got me a pretty kitchen towel (not that I needed or wanted one but I liked it and TJ had helped him pick it out) that I actually quite liked because I am easy to please like that.
which are both very baby-friendly (the tambourine has an unbreakable mirror in the middle and the rings are all plastic) and which she actually enjoyed playing with for a few seconds. Because she was mostly interested in her brother's toys and all the wrapping paper around her, in the end it would not have mattered what we got her anyway.
The kids also got presents from their grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Lots and lots of them. I took a lot of pictures of the kids with everything celebrating Christmas including those with a reluctant model or Santa's Little Helper.
I am not very big on the usual pictures that are taken with Santa though. While I see the fun of it, E does not care yet and TJ does not like to cooperate with that whole fake staged picture-taking or he is shy and wary of sitting on a stranger's lap. I understand both his concerns and respect them. Last year, we did a Santa picture at our community center and we all just sat on a couch with Santa. I did not even sign us up for it this year. As it turned out, our Bass Pro shop had a free Pictures with Santa event that a friend told me about and that I eventually decided to go.
I was able to get a good picture of the kids with "Santa" who did not look too happy but was cool about it when Baby E tried to pull his (real) white beard. Ha ha…I am sure he has had other little ones do that to him too. TJ was very skeptical but saved one big happy smile for one of the photos and we were done! E wasn't smiling in that one but at least she was looking at the camera and I was able to get her first pic with Santa. I don't have to do these anymore. (I hope).
We had a really good first Christmas as a family of four. We didn't do much of anything else and stayed in playing with our new toys, eating good home cooked food ahem..leftovers of home cooked food, and just chillin'. Good times!
(I was inspired by Ruth at TopFiveMum who experienced and wrote about her own first Christmas as a family of four. Ruth's blog is really unique and creative in that she writes about her parenting adventures in lists of five. Really cool! Check it out.
Loved the colourful craft-work and those biscuits look very tempting.
So glad you had a blast with your family, created many wonderful memories and took time to record it so well.
Wishing you all a fantastic, joyous, prosperous year ahead!
Thanks a lot, E. I appreciate your kind words and wish you a very happy new year as well.
We did. I am not sure if the Christmas Eve baking is just added last minute stress, but for now, it sounds like a good idea. Haha. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

UnLtd: The Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs
Michael Norton played a leading role in deciding to bid for the Millennium Legacy, in setting up a consortium to make that bid and in designing the proposals to the Millennium Commission.
In July 2000, the Millennium Commission asked proposals to be submitted for a Millennium Legacy of £100 million to endow a foundation which would make grants to individuals.
The winning consortium comprised Ashoka Trust (UK), Changemakers, Comic Relief, Community Action Network, Scarman Trust, School for Social Entrepreneurs and SENScot (a Social Entrepreneurs Network in Scotland). After lengthy negotiations with the Millennium Commission and preparatory development work, UnLtd made its first awards in February 2003.
UnLtd makes awards of up to £5,000 towards project costs and personal development to people with an idea for changing their community or changing the world. Larger awards of up to £15,000 enable people to take a year off to develop their idea. And at the top of the "staircase" , UnLtd Ventures provides consultancy support to help projects replicate and achieve their full potential.
UnLtd supports around 1,200 people a year all over the UK. In 2005, UnLtd received funds from the Big Lottery Fund to launch The Big Boost, a programme of youth awards run in partnership with Changemakers and Prince's Trust
Within just a few years, UnLtd has established itself as an important funder of individuals with ideas for creating social change.
Michael Norton retired as a trustee of UnLtd in 2010. He is currently helping establish an older people's challenge which will provide awards for social ventures and also seek solutions to the problems of ageing from older people, the next generation and through intergenerational activity. He is also taking the initiative in developing parallel foundations in other countries.

Sleeper of the Week: Michael Almereyda's 'Experimenter'
Sleeper of the Week: Michael Almereyda's 'Experimenter'
Vikram Murthi
@@fauxbeatpoet
Sleeper of the Week takes a film that only few critics have seen and shines some light on it.
Dir: Michael Almereyda
Criticwire Average: B+
In 1961, Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a series of social experiments that measured the willingness of the participants to obey an authority figure. In the experiment, there were three distinct roles: The Experimenter (the person running the experiment), the Teacher (the participant), and the Student (the actor hired to be at the whim of the Teacher.) The Teacher and the Student were placed in different rooms so they could communicate with one another but not see each other. The Teacher was asked to teach the Student a series of word pairs. First, the Teacher would read these word pairs to the Student, and then afterwards would read the first word of a word pair and give four possible answers for the second word. If the Student got it wrong, he would be given an electroshock with the voltage increasing for each successive wrong answer (the Teacher was given a sample electroshock before the experiment began to experience it firsthand). Little did the Teacher know that the Student wasn't receiving any electroshocks, but in fact there was a tape playing pre-recorded sounds for every shock level.
Though there's much more to the experiment, Milgram was trying to demonstrate how easily our own conscience can be warped by an authority figure. The experiments began only three months after the start of Nazi Adolf Eichmann's trial, and Milgram devised the experiment in part to determine if Nazis like Eichmann were just following orders or if they were actual accomplices. This is the basis for Michael Almereyda's new film "Experimenter," starring Peter Sarsgaard as Stanley Milgram, and focuses not only on the controversial experiments but their effects on his relationship with his wife, played by Winona Ryder. Critics have praised the film, especially the first half which dramatizes the disturbing experiments, as well as Sarsgaard's performance, but some found fault with the film's turn to conventional biopic territory in its second half. Regardless, "Experimenter" tackles some of the most haunting questions about average citizens' inability to stand up to authority and become bystanders to horrific crimes.
More thoughts from the Criticwire Network:
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
In "Experimenter," an aesthetically and intellectually playful portrait of the social psychologist Stanley Milgram, the director, Michael Almereyda, turns a biopic into a mind game. It's an appropriate take on a figure who's best remembered for his experiments in which subjects delivered punishing electric shocks on command. Working in the shadow of the Holocaust, and shortly after the capture of the SS official Adolf Eichmann, Milgram (1933-1984) was interested in questions of authority, conformity and conscience. "Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders," Milgram asked. "Could we call them all accomplices?" The restlessly original Mr. Almereyda comes at this question inventively, sometimes with Milgram — a delicate, sensitive Peter Sarsgaard — talking right into the camera. Mr. Almereyda has a boundless gift for finding new ways to tell old stories, and "Experimenter," as befits its title, is less a straight biography than a diverting gloss on human behavior, historical memory and cinema itself. It's a story about a man whose work was haunted by the death camps, was conducted as the United States escalated its presence in Vietnam and was destined to speak to the ages (to the abuses at Abu Ghraib and beyond) because his subject — the all too human being — is reliably barbaric.

Michael Atkinson, The Village Voice
Completing a trifecta of recent cinema (after "Masters of Sex" and "The Stanford Prison Experiment") suddenly fascinated with the social-science lab experiments of the Eisenhower-Nixon era, "Experimenter" is as cool as a grad student clamping electrodes onto a test monkey. One of our lowest-profile indie-film treasures, director Michael Almereyda never makes the same movie twice, toggling from Pixelvision experiment (1992's "Another Girl, Another Planet") to downtown-hipster-horror (1994's "Nadja") to modern-day Shakespeare, art documentaries, post-mod shorts, home-movie avant-garde, and weirdly meditative dramas with no definition. "Experimenter" may be his "Zelig" or "American Hustle," the ironic, icy, self-conscious riff on history that lands him at the front of the cultural brainpan. Read more.
Godfrey Cheshire, RogerEbert.com
The thread that unifies all this, one might venture, has to do with the issue of free will. The upside of Milgram's experiments (as one of his mentors attempts to point out) was to show that at least a significant minority of people can resist unwarranted social controls. What about trying to construct an educational system and a society that grow that number? Likewise, though many people love to be manipulated by movies, how about asserting the value of works like "Experimenter," which, in keeping the emotional temperature low and presenting us with a collage of evidence on related subjects, allows us the interpretive freedom to construct its meanings for ourselves? No doubt, that kind of freedom is only offered us by a certain type of artist, of which Almeredya is a prime and invaluable example. From early in his career, it was clearly that he was an unusually gifted director, yet rather than allowing himself to be sucked into the mainstream moviemaking system, he has deliberately stayed on the intelligent margins, making a range of films from docs to shorts to modern Shakespeare adaptations to works that deserve the designation experimental. In so doing, he has allowed himself a creative freedom that suffuses his latest like a constant stream of mountain air. "Experimenter," he might say, "c'est moi." Read more.
Jordan Hoffman, The Guardian
Milgram's other work (like proving the "six degrees of separation" rule through a complex experiment involving the mail) represents some of the more inspirational aspects of social psychology, yet he remains obsessed over the central conundrum of our time. What can stop blind compliance of tortuous acts, especially when the perpetrators know they are wrong? People come to Milgram to say, "I would never switch those shock dials," and a small percentage of them are right. What Milgram knows – and has the science to back it up – is that most of them are wrong. The numbers don't lie. Ultimately, "Experimenter" finds a glimmer of hope by simply revealing itself. Maybe if more people are educated about the dangers of obedience, they'll put up more resistance. It can't hurt to hope. Read more.
Mike D'Angelo, The A.V. Club
It's all handled so deftly, and raises so many probing questions, that the film's shift into more standard biopic territory in its second half can't help but be a letdown. Early on, even briefly glimpsed aspects of Milgram's personal life, like his relationship with wife Sasha (Winona Ryder), feel like extensions of his scientific method. And Almereyda — a hardcore formalist who once shot an entire feature on a PixelVision camera — reinforces that sense of artificiality throughout, having Milgram directly address the camera and staging several scenes in front of blatantly projected backdrops. But this surfeit of style, while invigorating, can't disguise the fundamentally expository nature of the home-stretch material, which addresses various unrelated experiments (including one that would eventually inspire Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon) and rehashes decades' worth of arguments about whether the obedience experiments went too far. That's something that viewers should judge for themselves, without being asked to take into account, for example, how Milgram's early notoriety may have affected his subsequent employment prospects. The magnificence of the first half-hour or so, in particular, provides all the riveting context anyone needs. Read more.

SheStarts 2018: Why CX could be the missing piece in advocacy
Lily Dempster has made a career out of trying to get people to do stuff. Now she's doing it with tech.
She's the founder of The Neighbourhood Effect, a platform designed to help people make more environmentally conscious decisions in their day.
It does this by giving them suggestions of what they can do based on how they live their lives currently – and showing them how to do it.
"Rather than just telling people 'hey, you should draft-proof your house'," Dempster told The Pulse, "we'll have a series of embedded videos showing them how to do it, the amount of time it will take to do it, how much it will cost, what they might save in heating bills and where they can go to get the supplies."
Development concept for The Neighbourhood Effect
As anybody in social advocacy would know, getting anybody to take an action, even as simple as signing a change.org petition, can be like herding cats.
With more and more NGOs and climate groups trying to inspire people to take action, Dempster hopes that a new approach marrying behavioural economics and Customer Experience (CX) design will bear fruit.
"I wanted to be sure that I was contributing something new. An issue with NGOs the world over is that there's a lot of groups all basically doing the same thing," said Dempster.
Her approach begins in psychology and ends with well-designed code.
A nudge in the right direction
Dempster said after growing up in a household where social justice issues were discussed around the dinner table, she found herself studying law – and eventually became interested in climate change as a social justice issue.
"Climate change is the biggest social justice issue for our generation," she said.
"Things like poverty, issues around undocumented migration, the spread of diseases – the impacts of climate change are really unjust in the sense that the poorest communities will be the worst affected."
Her studies eventually led to her to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet under Kevin Rudd, where she was part of a team specifically set up to mirror the UK's Strategy unit.
READ: How to use psychology to get paid faster
This UK unit was connected to the UK's 'nudge unit', which used behavioural-economics principles such as loss aversion or social norming could be used to form policy which had a better chance of influencing behaviours.
It was the first time Dempster had run across behavioural economics, and she was hooked.
"It's not sexy, but for nerds it's a bit sexy," said Dempster.
"Sustainable behaviour is really difficult to get right, otherwise it would have been done by now. This is really about how I can apply those techniques to try to create new behaviours."
Eventually, she decided she wanted to make a more direct impact by joining advocacy group GetUp as a climate campaigner. There she saw what effect grassroots action could have.
Change in action
To this point, Dempster was focused on policy and getting that side of the equation right – but one campaign showed her what the impact of getting everyday people to change their behaviour could be on climate-change mitigation.
Through a grassroots push, GetUp was able to get 15,000 people to switch to a carbon-neutral electricity retailer – with another 4000 switching to a green-power provider.
"From that campaign, we were able to have double the impact of a community solar farm, and that farm would have taken five years to get off the ground. The campaign took us four months," said Dempster.
That's when a lightbulb went off.
"From that, I said 'okay, if a couple of thousand of people spend a few minutes online each just changing some of their habits, you can have a really rapid impact'," said Dempster.
The idea for The Neighbourhood Effect started to take hold, but with no technical chops it was put on the backburner until the SheStarts opportunity came about.
When behavioural insight meets beautiful design
As part of the equity investment BlueChilli puts in as part of the program, they provide development support for the founders.
It's where Dempster learned the importance of getting CX design right when trying to inspire a person to take an action.
For Dempster, CX and design was the missing piece of The Neighbourhood Effect puzzle.
"Good [user-experience design, or 'UX'] is increasingly becoming a baseline requirement for digital product," said Dempster.
"In terms of the behavioural-economics stuff we wanted to explore in the design and content, the UX is a crucial piece.
"If we didn't have that, then all the well-crafted copy in the world isn't going to make a difference."
She said the test-and-learn iterative focus of an accelerator like SheStarts meant she was able to work with designers on the fly to change designs and test new approaches.
"Applying a behavioural economic lens to a digital interface means we can test different approaches and see what's most effective for different actions," said Dempster.
"That's really powerful, because doing behavioural trials to see what works and what doesn't can normally take a lot of time and effort"
The next step is getting the mobile application set up and in the hands of consumers.
"There's a really large group of Australians who care about climate change and sustainability, and they would switch products or change their behaviour if we made it just a little bit easier for them," said Dempster.
The Neighbourhood Effect is currently crowdfunding until 18 July to create a mobile application. If you want to know more, head here.

Here is why companies--particularly fast-moving, data-driven businesses--should adopt an autonomous, real-time analytics solution.
In the business world, time is money. When an anomaly, or unexpected data pattern, occurs, each second can amount to additional loss or missed opportunities.
This is especially true for a fast-moving, data-driven business. When manual thresholds and dashboards prove no match at managing millions of metrics, companies need to adopt an analytics solution that works autonomously and in real time.
As author William Arthur Ward famously wrote, "Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them." Real-time anomaly detection lets you seize business opportunities that have a limited time window and might otherwise slip under your radar.
For example, an eCommerce company might experience a sudden dramatic spike in sales of a particular product or product line that results in the item quickly going out of stock. But by using real-time anomaly detection to track its social media metrics, such as the number of brand mentions on Facebook and other social platforms, the company could immediately link the uptick in sales to a specific event — let's say, a celebrity endorsement of their product — and quickly restock their inventory. The company might also consider adjusting pricing or offering bundle deals with products experiencing lower sales volumes to further increase revenues.
It's no surprise then that major players such as T-Mobile, Netflix, Starbucks, and others have adopted AI and machine learning data analytic methods to better understand consumer behavior and determine demand.
Receiving accurate data in the moment allows you to link anomalies to business incidents quickly to give you a competitive edge. By identifying the strategies that lead to positive business outcomes — whether a social media post, positive product review, or PPC campaign — you can capitalize on opportunities as they arise and repeat this success.
Generally, the faster a problem is found, the less costly it is to fix it. A number of companies have made headlines for the massive losses suffered from pricing and other technical glitches.
In 2018, Amazon took a major hit due to a price glitch, losing $1.2 million in one minute alone, with the company's total losses on Prime Day estimated as high as $99 million.
And a pricing error made on shoe retailer Zappos' website may have been beneficial for consumers, but resulted in $1.6 million in lost revenues.
Real-time anomaly detection analyzes data as it comes in, so any detected anomalies can be addressed immediately. Potential threats that would otherwise proliferate undetected are weeded out before they can escalate. This helps you avoid equipment downtime and the subsequent impact on customer experience.
Bad news travels fast. Business incidents that adversely affect your customers can directly harm company revenue and brand reputation. On average, poor customer service cost companies $62 billion in revenues lost to competitors, according to a 2016 survey.
Bad customer service can tarnish any company's reputation. Telecommunications conglomerate Comcast was named "America's most hated company" in 2017 and was labeled the 15th most hated company in 2018. The telecom enterprise further enraged customers in November 2017 due to an hour-and-a-half-long internet outage, which affected millions of customers across the United States. The the glitch was reportedly caused by a configuration error.
Discovering anomalies immediately is critical for your brand's reputation, as it allows you to respond to incidents impacting your customers in real time. By taking a proactive approach, you're much less likely to risk negative reviews on user review sites, social media, or through word of mouth, which could otherwise dissuade potential customers.
LivePerson, a leading, AI-powered messaging provider for more than 18,000 businesses, including HSBC, IBM, and L'Oréal, needed a way to guarantee 100 percent uptime and a superior customer experience. Tracking close to two million metrics every 30 seconds, LivePerson found their existing analytics overwhelmed by the task. They decided to adopt real-time anomaly detection and soon found they were able to identify anomalies adversely affecting their users and those users' customers immediately.
Real-time anomaly detection enables you to discover and address problems in house. It can save you having to find out about issues from dissatisfied customers — after the damage has already been done, and can certainly help you avoid the kind of service worthy of a "most hated company" listing.
Real-time anomaly detection offers significant advantages to data-driven businesses as they scale. The more accurate your data science, the more actionable your insights — a capability widely recognized as key to maximizing revenues and preventing loss.

Stifel waves the yellow flag of surrender.
Shares of trucker YRC Worldwide (NASDAQ:YRCW) closed down 14% on Friday after analysts at Stifel Nicolaus -- who had previously recommended the stock in hopes of seeing at least "one good quarter" of growth -- finally gave up and admitted that quarter "may not come."
Stifel downgraded YRC stock to neutral today, and TheFly.com noted that the analyst also cut the price target by more than half, to just $7 a share.
Pushed over the edge by Stifel, YRC Worldwide stock continued running downhill today. Image source: Getty Images.
Given that YRC stock was already trading close to $7 when this downgrade came out, you might have expected investors' reaction would be a shrug -- but no such luck. Instead, Stifel's lamentation that, despite a strong market for less-than-freightload trucking this year, YRC "has fallen short of expectations" and "failed to return to 2015-16 levels of profitability" appears to have sapped investor confidence.
When Stifel then proceeded to observe that YRC's labor contract with its drivers expires in just a few months, raising the specter of a potential strike, it sparked a rout in the stock.
With YRC stock now trading below Stifel's revised target price, there's still the potential for the stock to bounce back if investors decide they overreacted to today's downgrade -- but the company will need to do its part to encourage investors to come back. YRC is currently unprofitable, but Wall Street analysts still hope to see it end this year with a profit of $0.66 per share.
If YRC can prove them right in Q4, there's still a chance for a rebound before contract negotiations begin.


Work flow analysis and future work flow redesign are often cited as key factors of successful implementations of ambulatory electronic medical records (EMRs) in physician practices. This is the first in a series of blogs to discuss the value of performing workflow analysis before selecting an ambulatory EMR.
It is unfortunate that work flow analysis, if performed at all, is typically not done until an EMR has been selected and the implementation initiated. Although physicians intuitively understand the value of good workflows in the office, how workflow analysis helps the physician choose an EMR is not so obvious.
Developing workflow descriptions and critically thinking about desired future workflows will help identify what an EMR needs to be able to do well for the practice. Knowing what the EMR needs to do well will help the practice identify and prioritize needed EMR functionalities. This knowledge will simplify the comparison of EMR products as discussed in the next several blogs.

Union-Music For Lovers came out this month. Michael went down the path of providing listeners seeking peace with an option to attain that. He does accomplish his goal within his capabilities and artistry.
Although the title may suggest something else dependent on your outlook, it remains relevant. These are atmospheric and ambient sounds for people to find a zone of comfort. And this can be accomplished in union or by yourself, that is my belief, not necessarily anyone else's. The union you achieve could be with yourself and a higher power or existing on another plain of attainment for some time. It truly depends on what you seek in the moment you start listening to these 11 tracks.
Michael uses a combination of keyboards and other computer-generated sounds and beats to create something that sounds like a flowing tapestry of beauty. It is a slice of electronic heaven if you will. I know that may not sound very warm and inviting however this music really is. He is a master at molding and shaping these sounds into a magical wonderland of vibrations, colors and moods.
Union-Music For Lovers has many different shades of light and an ever changing pace. You will hear ethnic influences in his music as well, the kind that transport you. Those elements are the things that make this such an eclectic and enjoyable journey.

Commentary Features
2018 Year-in-Review by Adrienne Martini
February 9, 2019 February 5, 2019 locusmag 0 Comments Adrienne Martini
Adrienne Martini (2015) by Anita Buzzy
These end-of-the-year lists always make me uncomfortable, if only because I know I haven't read even a plurality of titles published in any given 365 days. Not only that, I haven't yet read a bunch that have been highly praised, like Blackfish City, Revenant Gun, and Unholy Land. Having said that, what I do feel comfortable with is flagging a few titles that I'm mildly infatuated with, that happened to come out in 2018.
Like Kelly Robson's Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach. Not one word is wasted in this story, which has all of the future tech gee-whiz you could want but never forgets to make the characters human. Even when they are a god or a multi-legged cyborg. Chandler Klang Smith's The Sky is Yours is that book's polar opposite. It sprawls and meanders in delightful ways as it tells the story of a New York-like City that has been overtaken by two dragons who never leave the sky.
For sheer dazzle, Catherynne M. Valente's Space Opera wins the year. While the story about an interstellar version of our planet's Eurovision contest is equal parts Hitchhiker's Guide and ABBA classic, what is even more impressive is how Valente bends the English language to her will. There are sentences (heck, paragraphs) that definitely should not work because they have too many words – and yet do.
The next two (maybe three, depending on how you count) titles have less to do with the actual language and more to do with the sense of humor T. Kingfisher and John Scalzi bring to the worlds they've created. Kingfisher's Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine – technically two titles but really one story – are set in a stereotypical medieval-esque fantasy world, one with gods and wizards. What makes these titles stand-out is the light wit Kingfisher (AKA Ursula Vernon) brings to the standard hero's tale. The same can be said of Scalzi's Consuming Fire, the second book in the Interdependency series. While the setting and props are pure space opera, his sardonic voice is what keeps you engaged.
The last two titles on my list play with the structure of how a story is told. Jody Rosenberg's Confessions of the Fox goes meta as the writer researches a newly discovered manuscript about well-known London rogues. Katie Williams's Tell the Machine Goodnight finds its magic in how what could be separate stories are juxtaposed, and characters evolve from one to the next.
I have zero doubt that I'll fail to read the bulk of what 2019 has to offer, too. But if I end next year with equally delightful titles on that list, it will have been a good year.
Adrienne Martini has been reading or writing about science fiction for decades and has had two non-fiction, non-genre books published by Simon and Schuster. She lives in Upstate New York with one husband, two kids, and one corgi. She also runs a lot.
This and more like it in the February 2019 issue of Locus.

Meet Hills & Wills, the LFC Foundation's superstar double act!
The LFC Foundation would like to introduce you to a very special duo, who have directly benefited from a collaborative skills project between; IntoUniversity, the University of Liverpool and the LFC Foundation.
Hills and Wills are an exceptional set of twins from Anfield in Liverpool and regular attendees to the IntoUniversity North Liverpool Centre, which supports children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to reach their educational potential.
With an unparalleled desire and determination to succeed, the 12 year-olds are wise beyond their years and on their way to achieving their long-term ambitions, with both envisaging their future careers as engineers.
Both were chosen as our #ivefound heroes, a campaign developed to help share the inspirational and personal stories of the children and young people the LFC Foundation engage with, showcasing how the support of our fans is creating life changing opportunities for children and young people.
We caught up with Hills & Wills at the North Liverpool Learning Centre, to find out about how the project has helped them realise their aspirations and inspire them to achieve more.
Awestruck by their star-power personalities, their answers to questions that most adults would struggle with comprehending rolled off the tongue, with slick and detailed explanations regarding their future, ambition and motivational speeches for other kids regularly voiced in unison.
Both twins participate in a packed daily schedule of extra-curricular activities that include; football at the LFC Foundation's Kicks Sessions, Karate classes and writing children's stories - yes, Hills & Wills are already published authors!
Hills & Wills are stand-out representatives of the incredible academical attainment results achieved by the North Liverpool centre in just it's first year. Through the support of the LFC family, IntoUniversity's after-school clubs, homework support and mentoring schemes are all helping raise the aspirations and ambitions of local school children.
Inspired yet? Watch the full #ivefound story of Hills & Wills here, by visiting the LFC Foundation's YouTube channel!


There's nothing like combatting the heat of a hot Southern summer with a popsicle to keep you cool. Whether you're doling out sweets at the church picnic, handing out pops at the family reunion, or just treating your kiddos to dessert at the pool, these delectable layered pops from our friends at eHow are the perfect way to curb your cravings. These Cookie Dough Ice Pops are super simple to make. The bottom layer of the popsicles is made with milk, vanilla, and sugar. The second layer – the "cookie dough layer" – is made with milk, vanilla, and brown sugar. Freeze the first layer in a popsicle mold for around one hour, top with some mini chocolate chips, and then freeze the brown sugar layer on top. Repeat the layers until your popsicle molds are full. The result is a creamy (and gluten-free!) ice pop that kids of all ages will enjoy munching on.


On today's #FridayQuickie…I feature two #bridechillas who are taking the chill in #bridechilla to the next level…BUT in their chillness they are worried that they are not worrying enough. I KNOW. I love that they have reached peak chill and I am so happy that I have helped them reach that point but damn girl you gotz to enjoy that chill.

Verapamil tabs 80mg #30
Verapamil instruction for use
To buy Verapamil just add it to your shopping cart
Verapamil is a drug with antiarrhythmic, antianginal and antihypertensive effects.
Release form and composition
Verapamil is available in the following dosage forms:
Film-coated tablets (10 pcs. In blisters, 1 or 5 blisters in a cardboard box);
Solution for intravenous administration: colorless, transparent (in colorless glass ampoules of 2 ml, 5 ampoules in blister strip packs, 2 or 10 packs in a cardboard box).
The composition of 1 tablet includes:
Active ingredient: verapamil hydrochloride - 40 or 80 mg;
Auxiliary components: dibasic calcium phosphate, starch, butylhydroxyanisole, purified talc, magnesium stearate, gelatin, methylparaben, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, titanium dioxide, indigo carmine.
Verapamil is a drug with antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive and antianginal effects. It is a blocker of slow calcium channels. It prevents the transmembrane entry of calcium ions (and, possibly, sodium ions) into the smooth muscle cells of the myocardium and blood vessels, as well as into the cells of the myocardial conduction system. The antiarrhythmic effect of verapamil is probably due to the blockade of the slow channels of the cardiac conduction system. The electrical activity of the sinoatrial and atrioventricular node is affected by the entry of calcium into the cells through slow channels. Verapamil inhibits calcium intake, slows down atrioventricular conduction, which leads to an increase in the effective refractory period in the AV node, depending on the heart rate. In patients with atrial flutter and / or atrial fibrillation, this effect causes a decrease in ventricular rate. Verapamil prevents the re-entry of excitation in the AV node and helps to restore the correct sinus rhythm in patients suffering from paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, including the Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Reception of Verapamil does not affect the conduction of the impulse along additional pathways, and also does not lead to a change in the normal action potential of the atria or the time of intraventricular conduction. In this case, the drug helps to reduce the amplitude, speed of depolarization and impulse conduction in the altered atrial fibers. Verapamil does not cause spasms of peripheral arteries, does not change the total concentration of calcium in the blood serum. The active ingredient helps to reduce afterload and myocardial contractility. The negative inotropic effect of verapamil in most patients (including those with organic lesions of the heart) is offset by a decrease in afterload. Usually, this does not decrease the cardiac index, however, with severe or moderate chronic heart failure (with a pulmonary artery wedge pressure of more than 20 mm Hg and a left ventricular ejection fraction of up to 35%) there is a possibility of acute decompensation of chronic heart failure. As a result of bolus intravenous administration, the maximum therapeutic effect of verapamil occurs after 3-5 minutes. With intravenous administration of Verapamil in a standard therapeutic dose (5-10 mg), a transient, most often asymptomatic, decrease in normal blood pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and contractility is observed. There was a slight increase in the filling pressure of the left ventricle.
When taken orally:
absorption: about 90–92% of the drug is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of the drug is low (approximately 20%), which is explained by the effect of the first pass through the liver. The content in blood plasma increases gradually. The maximum plasma concentration is 81.34 ng / ml. The average time to reach the maximum concentration is 4.75 hours. One day after taking the drug, sufficiently high therapeutic concentrations (51.6 ng / ml) are found in the blood plasma. The connection with plasma proteins is about 90%;
distribution: when taking a single dose, the half-life is from 2.8 to 7.4 hours, and with repeated administration of the drug - from 4.5 to 12 hours. In elderly patients, the half-life increases. Verapamil crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers, is excreted in breast milk;
metabolism: metabolized in the liver (first pass effect). 12 metabolites of the drug have been recorded, the main of which is the pharmacologically active norverapamil. Other metabolites are mostly inactive;
excretion: approximately 70% of the taken dose of the drug is excreted in the urine, and approximately 16% or more in the feces for 5 days after oral administration of the drug. In unchanged form, 3-4% is excreted from the body.
When administered intravenously:
distribution: verapamil is well distributed in body tissues. In healthy volunteers, the volume of distribution is 1.6 to 1.8 l / kg. About 90% binds to plasma proteins;
metabolism: in the course of metabolic studies in vitro, it has been shown that verapamil is metabolized by isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C18 and CYP2C9 of the cytochrome P450 family. When taken orally by healthy volunteers, verapamil was extensively metabolized in the liver to form 12 metabolites, most of which were present in trace amounts. The main metabolites include forms of O- and N-dealkylated derivatives of verapamil. Studies in dogs have shown that only norverapamil is a pharmacologically active metabolite (about 20% compared to the parent compound). Verapamil crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers, in small amounts it is excreted in breast milk;
elimination: the curve of changes in the content of the drug in the blood has a biexponential character with a fast early phase of distribution (half-life - about 4 minutes), as well as a slower terminal phase of elimination (half-life - from 2 to 5 hours). Within 24 hours, approximately 50% of the dose of the drug is excreted by the kidneys, within 5 days - 70%. About 16% of the dose of verapamil is excreted through the intestines. In unchanged form, 3-4% of verapamil is excreted from the body. The total clearance of verapamil approximately corresponds to the hepatic blood flow - about 1 L / h / kg (range from 0.7 to 1.3 L / h / kg).
In case of impaired renal function, the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug do not change, which was recorded during studies in two groups of patients: without impaired renal function and with renal failure in the terminal stage. Norrapamil and verapamil are not excreted by hemodialysis.
The age index can change the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug when used in patients with arterial hypertension. In elderly patients, the half-life may be increased. The relationship between age and the antihypertensive effect of the drug has not been identified.
Heart rhythm disorders, including paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and flutter (tachyarrhythmic variant), supraventricular extrasystole - for treatment and prevention;
Unstable angina (angina at rest), chronic stable angina (exertional angina), vasospastic angina (variant angina, Prinzmetal angina) - for treatment and prevention;
Arterial hypertension - for treatment.

Myocardial infarction with left ventricular failure (for injectable solution);
Elderly age (for injection solution).
Instructions for the use of Verapamil: method and dosage
Verapamil is taken orally with a small amount of water, preferably during or after meals.
The doctor sets the dosage regimen and duration of therapy individually, depending on the patient's condition, the severity and characteristics of the course of the disease, as well as the effectiveness of the drug.
The initial adult single dose for the treatment of arterial hypertension and for the prevention of angina attacks, arrhythmias is 40-80 mg, the frequency of administration is 3-4 times a day. A single dose, if necessary, is increased to 120-160 mg (maximum - 480 mg per day).
With pronounced functional disorders of the liver, it is advisable to start therapy with the lowest doses (maximum 120 mg per day).
Central nervous system: headache, dizziness; in rare cases - lethargy, increased nervous excitability, increased fatigue;
Digestive system: vomiting, nausea, constipation; in some cases - a transient increase in the activity of hepatic transaminases in the blood plasma;
Cardiovascular system: facial flushing, AV blockade, severe bradycardia, arterial hypotension, the appearance of symptoms of heart failure (when using high doses of the drug, especially in predisposed patients);
Allergic reactions: itching, skin rash;
Others: peripheral edema.
Symptoms: a pronounced decrease in blood pressure (sometimes to a level that cannot be measured), loss of consciousness, shock, escaping rhythm, atrioventricular block of I or II degree (Wenckebach periods with or without a slip rhythm are often observed), complete atrioventricular block, accompanied by complete atrioventricular dissociation, cardiac arrest, sinus node arrest, sinus bradycardia, heart failure, sinoatrial blockade, asystole.
In case of early detection (it should be borne in mind that when taken orally, the release and absorption of the drug in the intestine occurs within 2 days), gastric lavage is prescribed if no more than 12 hours have passed since the application. With reduced motility of the gastrointestinal tract (in the absence of intestinal noises), this measure can be carried out in later periods.
Treatment is symptomatic and depends on the clinical picture of the overdose.
Calcium is a specific antidote. For the treatment of an overdose, a solution of calcium gluconate 10% (10-30 ml) is administered intravenously or slowly as a drop infusion. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated.
With sinus bradycardia, atrioventricular block II and III degree, cardiac arrest, isoprenaline, atropine, orciprenaline or cardiac stimulation are indicated.
With arterial hypotension, norepinephrine (norepinephrine), dobutamine, dopamine are prescribed. Hemodialysis is ineffective.
During therapy, it is necessary to monitor the function of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the level of electrolytes and glucose in the blood, the amount of urine excreted and the volume of circulating blood.
With intravenous administration of the drug, it is possible to lengthen the PQ interval at a plasma concentration above 30 mg / ml.
It is not recommended to stop therapy suddenly.
The drug should be used with caution by vehicle drivers and people whose profession is associated with increased concentration of attention (due to a decrease in the reaction rate).
Application during pregnancy and lactation
According to the instructions, the drug is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation.
There are no data on the use of the drug in pregnant women.
In the course of animal studies, no direct or indirect toxic effect on the reproductive system has been identified. Since the results of animal studies do not reliably predict the response to drug therapy in humans, Verapamil during pregnancy can be used only in cases where the potential benefit to the mother is higher than the expected risk to the child.
The drug is characterized by penetration through the placental barrier, it is also found in the blood of the umbilical vein during childbirth.
Verapamil and metabolites are excreted in breast milk. According to the limited data available, the dose of the drug that a breastfeeding infant receives with milk is quite low (from 0.1 to 1% of the amount taken by the mother of Verapamil). Since the likelihood of complications for infants cannot be ruled out, the drug during breastfeeding is allowed to be used only in cases where the potential benefit to the mother is higher than the expected risk to the child.
It is forbidden to use the drug to treat patients under the age of 18 years.
With impaired renal function
In severe renal failure, the drug should be used with caution, prescribing a lower initial dose.
For violations of liver function
In case of impaired liver function and severe hepatic insufficiency, the drug should be used with caution, prescribing a lower starting dose.
Use in the elderly
In the treatment of elderly patients, a lower initial dose is recommended.
With the simultaneous use of the drug with certain drugs, the following effects may occur:
Antiarrhythmics, beta-blockers and inhalation anesthetics: increased cardiotoxic effect (the risk of developing atrioventricular block, a sharp decrease in heart rate, the development of heart failure, a sharp decrease in blood pressure increases);
Antihypertensive drugs and diuretics: strengthening the hypotensive effect of the drug;
Digoxin: an increase in the level of concentration of digoxin in the blood plasma (to identify the optimal dosage of the drug and prevent intoxication, its level in the blood plasma should be monitored);
Cimetidine and ranitidine: an increase in the concentration of the drug in blood plasma;
Theophylline, prazosin, cyclosporine: an increase in their concentration in blood plasma;
Muscle relaxants: strengthening the muscle relaxant action;
Rifampicin, phenobarbital: a decrease in the concentration of the drug in blood plasma and a weakening of its action;
Acetylsalicylic acid: an increase in the likelihood of bleeding;
Quinidine: an increase in the level of concentration of quinidine in the blood plasma, an increased risk of lowering blood pressure, in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - the development of severe arterial hypotension;

Review on "Transmutatsia" on Neural
Review on "Transmutatsia" on Neural:
http://neural.it/2017/12/zavoloka-transmutatsia/
"Transmutatsia is the latest work of Zavoloka, produced as usual by Kvitnu. It's an industrial and noise sound tour, a six minute composition full of space atmospheres and dreamy digressions with tones now suggestive and praising, now ambient and elliptical. Different from former works of Zavoloka, an experimenter who loves the mixture between tradition and modern electronic technologies, the images played in this EP are not quiet and reassuring. The approach here is more cybernetic and dystopian, whirling and technoid, but this is still part of the broad background of this sound manipulator, free-form musician and performer. Not casually Cluster Lizard, a musician we recently listened to on Le Cabanon, was called to remix the work. As always, he performs a raw and vibrating sound-design, with science fiction and techno developments, made here even more dark, evocative and cinematic. As usual for the productions by Zavoloka, who is also a talented graphic designer, the album artwork is elegantly made. The impressive scarlet cardboard package is an additional reference to the hypnotic and concentric sound inspirations. Mutations and accumulation, the creation of new forms of expression, shimmering treatments and swallows, closed harmonies and lo-fi accents: the title refers to a continuous evolution but we don't know if this is a new beginning for the Ukrainian experimenter based in Vienna or just a temporary passage, a casual return to the inspiration of the initial career. The result is interesting: the distortions and the irritating frequencies create some new hybrid musical evolution, in between some unconventional rhythmic structures and a high voltage travel, full of shocks. The analog plots remind of a mental and refined approach. Either productions are available on free download. The label also released the CD version and a very limited 10" vinyl with tshirt and sticker of Kvitnu (the purchase provided a special 95% discount on the entire label production valid for all 2017)."

U.S.|College-Educated Women Are the Workplace Majority, but Still Don't Get Their Share
In her words
College-Educated Women Are the Workplace Majority, but Still Don't Get Their Share
Women in the U.S. have earned more degrees for decades, but it wasn't until this year that they edged out college-educated men in the work force. Though they still make a lot less money.

"We educate women because it is smart. We educate women because it changes the world."
— Drew Gilpin Faust, a historian and the first woman to be president of Harvard
We've reached a tipping point in the United States: For the first time, there are more college-educated women in the work force than college-educated men.
That's according to a new study from Pew Research, which analyzed data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It found that women 25 and older now make up 50.2 percent of the college-educated work force — up about 11 percent since 2000.
In some ways, the increase is a natural progression.
Women have been earning the majority of bachelor's degrees, and more advanced degrees, in the United States since the early 1980s, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Of those who earned a bachelor's degree last year, 57.5 percent were women.
And yet historically, women have been less likely to enter the work force at all after graduation — 36 percent less likely, according to Bloomberg. It wasn't until this year that they edged out men with similar degrees to become the majority.
While that milestone is significant, women are still earning far less money than men. They have been more likely to enter fields with lower income potential like nursing, education and administration. But even those doing the same work as men earn less.
White women must work 16 months to earn what their white male colleagues earned in 12, based on analysis of United States census data. Women of color must work even longer.
[MORE: Minority Women Are Winning the Jobs Race in a Record Economic Expansion]
The 2018 report "Women Can't Win," published by Georgetown University, found that men with bachelor's degrees make on average $26,000 more per year than women with the same credentials.
Women are also severely underrepresented in certain fields with higher earning potential, namely STEM fields — science, technology, math and engineering — where they account for only about 25 percent of graduates and less than 30 percent of college-educated employees.
According to a study released last month, the gender gap in computer science won't close for 100 years, if current trends continue.
And just because women now make up the majority of the work force, it doesn't mean they're running it. In the latest Fortune 500 list, published in May, 33 of the highest-grossing companies were led by female C.E.O.s. That's the most ever, by the way, even though it's still less than 7 percent of the total.
So what can women who are trying to find a way up in their organization do? Katherine W. Phillips, a professor of organizational management at Columbia University, suggested some solutions this year for The New York Times Magazine's Future of Work issue. One is to find a champion, even if that's a man.
"You need to get your circle of support around you, and in finding people to support you, sometimes you need to take a risk," Phillips said. "I guarantee you that in a big workplace, there is a man who can support you. You have to find him. You have to make those connections and build those relationships, as hard as it might be."

From the Archives, 1904: Seeking an 'author's assistant.'
In New York in 1904, during the days of what The New York Times called "the get-rich-quick author," an educated woman interested in earning "a comfortable living" might find work helping him (yes, they were all men, according to the article) by doing the research for his books.
The new position was called "author's assistant," and sometimes these authors would hire up to a dozen women for the job.
"Who would've thought, a score or more years ago, that a writer of novels could develop into such a captain of industry that he could relegate to the shoulders of a quarter of the helpers the drudgery of delving for his materials?" The Times asked. Drudgery, you say? What fun.

A Long Beach business owner joins the Living Wage campaign at a Shop Hop.
More than 120 local businesses, from bike shops to restaurants and from boutiques to independent grocers, have signed on as supporters of the proposition. They see hotel workers with more money in their pockets as potential generators of local prosperity.
Since the 1980s approximately $750 million in public funds have been invested in making downtown Long Beach attractive to tourists and conventioneers. More than $100 million of that has been given to Long Beach hotels in direct subsidies. Yet these same hotels have not provided a public return on this investment in the form of good jobs. In a city with an average poverty rate of 18% over the past 30 years, that is a huge failing. Currently, wages for Long Beach hotel workers are among the lowest in the Southern California hospitality industry and among the lowest of any job sector in Long Beach.
On Labor Day weekend, workers and community supporters will speak in twenty-five Long Beach congregations about the Living Wage measure, describing the impact of these low wages on local families, and recruiting supporters and volunteers to win the ballot campaign. And then the work will begin to make Long Beach one of the 33 California cities to adopt a Living Wage Ordinance. Si se puede!

These instructions will walk you through booting CoreOS via iPXE on real or virtual hardware. By default, this will run CoreOS completely out of RAM. CoreOS can also be [installed to disk](installing-to-disk.md).

A mininum of 1024M of RAM is required to boot CoreOS via PXE.

## Configuring iPXE

iPXE can be used on any platform that can boot an ISO image.
This includes many cloud providers and physical hardware.

To illustrate iPXE in action we will use qemu-kvm in this guide.

### Setting up iPXE boot script

When configuring the CoreOS iPXE boot script there are a few kernel options that may be useful but all are optional.

- **rootfstype=tmpfs**: Use tmpfs for the writable root filesystem. This is the default behavior.
- **rootfstype=btrfs**: Use btrfs in RAM for the writable root filesystem. The filesystem will consume more RAM as it grows, up to a max of 50%. The limit isn't currently configurable.
- **root**: Use a local filesystem for root instead of one of two in-ram options above. The filesystem must be formatted in advance but may be completely blank, it will be initialized on boot. The filesystem may be specified by any of the usual ways including device, label, or UUID; e.g: `root=/dev/sda1`, `root=LABEL=ROOT` or `root=UUID=2c618316-d17a-4688-b43b-aa19d97ea821`.
- **sshkey**: Add the given SSH public key to the `core` user's authorized_keys file. Replace the example key below with your own (it is usually in `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`)
- **console**: Enable kernel output and a login prompt on a given tty. The default, `tty0`, generally maps to VGA. Can be used multiple times, e.g. `console=tty0 console=ttyS0`
- **coreos.autologin**: Drop directly to a shell on a given console without prompting for a password. Useful for troubleshooting but use with caution. For any console that doesn't normally get a login prompt by default be sure to combine with the `console` option, e.g. `console=tty0 console=ttyS0 coreos.autologin=tty1 coreos.autologin=ttyS0`. Without any argument it enables access on all consoles. Note that for the VGA console the login prompts are on virtual terminals (`tty1`, `tty2`, etc), not the VGA console itself (`tty0`).
- **cloud-config-url**: CoreOS will attempt to download a cloud-config document and use it to provision your booted system. See the [coreos-cloudinit-project][cloudinit] for more information.

[cloudinit]: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-cloudinit

### Choose a Channel

CoreOS is released into alpha, beta, and stable channels. Releases to each channel serve as a release-candidate for the next channel. For example, a bug-free alpha release is promoted bit-for-bit to the beta channel.

### Setting up the Boot Script

Stable Channel

Beta Channel

Alpha Channel

iPXE downloads a boot script from a publicly available URL. You will need to host this URL somewhere public and replace the example SSH key with your own. You can also run a custom iPXE server.

#!ipxe

set base-url http://alpha.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current
kernel ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz cloud-config-url=http://example.com/pxe-cloud-config.yml
initrd ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
boot

#!ipxe

set base-url http://beta.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current
kernel ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz cloud-config-url=http://example.com/pxe-cloud-config.yml
initrd ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
boot

#!ipxe

set base-url http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current
kernel ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz cloud-config-url=http://example.com/pxe-cloud-config.yml
initrd ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
boot

An easy place to host this boot script is on [http://pastie.org](http://pastie.org). Be sure to reference the "raw" version of script, which is accessed by clicking on the clipboard in the top right.

*Note: The stock iPXE build doesn't include HTTPS support, meaning you can only use HTTP hosts for your `cloud-config-url`.*

### Booting iPXE

First, download and boot the iPXE image.
We will use `qemu-kvm` in this guide but use whatever process you normally use for booting an ISO on your platform.

```sh
wget http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.iso
qemu-kvm -m 1024 ipxe.iso --curses
```

Next press Ctrl+B to get to the iPXE prompt and type in the following commands:

```sh
iPXE> dhcp
iPXE> chain http://${YOUR_BOOT_URL}
```

Immediately iPXE should download your boot script URL and start grabbing the images from the CoreOS storage site:

```sh
${YOUR_BOOT_URL}... ok
http://alpha.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz... 98%
```

After a few moments of downloading CoreOS should boot normally.

## Update process

Since CoreOS's upgrade process requires a disk, this image does not have the option to update itself. Instead, the box simply needs to be rebooted and will be running the latest version, assuming that the image served by the PXE server is regularly updated.

## Installation

CoreOS can be completely installed on disk or run from RAM but store user data on disk. Read more in our [Installing CoreOS guide](booting-with-pxe.md#installation).

## Adding a custom OEM

Similar to the [OEM partition][oem] in CoreOS disk images, iPXE images can be customized with a [cloud config][cloud-config] bundled in the initramfs. You can view the [instructions on the PXE docs](booting-with-pxe.md#adding-a-custom-oem).

[oem]: notes-for-distributors.md#image-customization
[cloud-config]: {{site.baseurl}}/os/docs/latest/cloud-config.html

## Using CoreOS

Now that you have a machine booted it is time to play around. Check out the [CoreOS Quickstart](quickstart.md) guide or dig into [more specific topics](https://coreos.com/docs).

Hi teman-teman, perkenankanlah saya untuk memperkenalkan diri. Nama saya, Jaja Zakaria, tinggal di Depok, Jawa Barat. Saya tertarik akan masalah-masalah perpajakan. Mengapa saya tertarik, karena berdasarkan pengalaman dalam praktek, banyak sekali orang yang harus memikul beban pajak yang tidak seharusnya karena diperlakukan tidak dengan semestinya. Hal ini, menurut pendapat saya, merupakan salah satu bentuk ketidak adilan yang harus dilawan. Dengan alasan tersebut kemudian saya tergerak untuk membuat buku-buku dan e-book perpajakan, serta menulis artikel-artikel perpajakan untuk didiskusikan dengan orang lain.
Harapan saya, buku-buku, e-book, maupun artikel-artikel saya dapat dijadikan referensi untuk membantu agar orang dapat melaksanakan hak-hak dan kewajiban perpajakannya dengan benar, dan dapat melawan apabila diperlakukan tidak adil.
Hi readers, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jaja Zakaria, live in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. I am interested in issues of taxation. Why I am interested, because based on experience in practice, a lot of people who should bear unnecessary tax burden due to a condition whereby they have not been treated properly. It is, in my opinion, is a form of injustice that must be resisted. For these reasons, then I was moved to make the books and e-books taxation, as well as writing taxation articles for discussion with others.
I hope, my books, e-books, and articles can be used as a reference to help people so that they can exercise their taxation rights and obligations correctly, and can fight if they were treated unfairly.
