Spaces. spazioSERRA
What is spazioSERRA, and what does it mean to be right in the middle of a railway station, - she asked. From a distant computer screen, they were replying to her question on a February day: spazioSERRA is a place where art can always be enjoyed, from morning to evening, every day of the week, since the space does not need to be open for the works to be seen: this allows the works of the artists to no longer have a defined space hosting one's research, but on the contrary it makes possible to use the city as an exhibition space, where the work can be known, seen, studied and revised whenever the need is felt. The audiences, in fact, are varied and spontaneous, they are people of different social backgrounds, of different cultures and of different interest in cultural disciplines.

They do not necessarily have the intention of being immersed in an artistic scenario but instead they look around realizing suddenly the presence of something: the works of art, which change and change the appearance of the train station that, like automata, they cross every day. Because of this variety of people we speak of audiences, in the plural, of spazioSERRA, audiences that are essentially an incidental occurrence of art, something that happens for a number of reasons and therefore cannot be controlled.

Was the octagonal structure already existing or was it manufactured for you?
When the station was built, the octagonal space that now has become spazioSERRA was a newsstand. It was used for this scope for a few years and then left unused for several years, until 2017. Due to its particular physical conformation, its interior space can also be enjoyed from the outside: in fact, it has an octagonal plan and its walls are all in glass, which make it possible to see from the outside the works that are exhibited inside the space.
Giovanni Chiamenti, La cerimonia dei misteri, 2020, Exhibition view
I got curious about the octagonal structure. I do not remember where I encountered this kind of architecture for the last time. What meaning does it have and how do artists react toward such a structure?
Baptisteries, pagodas, howz are various types of octagonal structures. Number 8 has an important symbolism in Christian art: 8 are the pillars of baptismal font, 8 is the symbol of Resurrection, number 8 evokes eternal life, number 8 is recognized as "cosmic balance" and lastly, 8 is the number of cardinal directions plus intermediate directions. In our experience, artists are constantly inspired by SERRA's structure, there is something magical and esoteric working in it. For example in the exhibition La cerimonia dei misteri (The ceremony of the mysteries), the artist Giovanni Chiamenti, according to Rudolf Otto's idea of "numinous", explored his exhibition imagining SERRA as a sacred place. Chiamenti wanted to reproduce the ambience of a "caerimonia", producing a mysterious aura of sacrality and rites.
What spazioSERRA stands for?
The name "spazioSERRA", where "spazio" means space and "serra" means "greenhouse", was created to underline the path of maturation and growth that the artistic direction of the space wants to undertake with the emergent artists we host. The greenhouse is, in fact, a place where plants are tended in order to give them the time and conditions necessary to grow up: in the same way, the artists who exhibit in spazioSERRA have the opportunity to develop their research through the creation, the curatorship and organization of an exhibition dedicated to a site-specific work that communicates with that place.
I felt a resemblance of the exhibition calendar to the schedule board of the station. Is this right?
Being in a train station influences the way we work and design the exhibitions. Every time we think about how to display artworks, we have to keep in mind who we are doing it for: our audiences. For this reason we always think about how to catch the attention of passers-by, positioning a particular object or flyer here or there. We also try to use the station, as a unique location, as much as we can: hanging our communications on the walls and playing with the elements that surround the space, especially with the photographs.
When I worked in an art gallery, every time one exhibition was dismantled and the new one was built, I had dyadic feelings. Each of these occurred exhibitions had something that made it difficult to say goodbye. How is your feeling about it?
Exhibitions at us change every day, because even the same exhibition changes so much during the 40 days in the space, due to the unique physical condition of the venue. That's also what inspired our next exhibition season "venerazioneMUTANTE" (mutant veneration), which purpose is to create exhibitions with works that have a perennial state of change and that can be seen having the feeling of constant transformation, albeit imperceptible. It is always sad to disassemble the artworks and see the space empty, but the curiosity for the next exhibition and to see how the space will change again is always stronger.

The exhibition "L'uomo è l'unico animale in grado di arrossire" started in the time of the outbreak of the pandemic. What was your approach?
When the exhibition started, in February 2020, the pandemic was not yet perceived as a risk in Italy. L'uomo è l'unico animale in grado di arrossire was supposed to finish in April, but it was actually impossible to dismantle it, since Italy was going through its first strict lockdown. The vernissage of this exhibition was actually one of the last times we had the chance to meet all together before the lockdown. To continue with our exhibition season, that we had already planned, we decided to display our following exhibition How much of an * are you? on spazioSERRA's website, but leaving the other one in the space. In such a difficult moment for our country, this exhibition became one of the few cultural initiatives that people were able to see, while attending the station to go to work or to move for necessities. When we finally were able to be back at spazioSERRA, we found our exhibition had changed: dozens of spiders and a lot of dust had invaded the space. It was emotional, it was like a symbol of what happened and is still happening.
Is this the only art initiative in this large station?
We are the only art space in Lancetti station, but, together with more than thirty other Milanese realities, it is part of the Artepassante Project. Artepassante is an initiative promoted since 2012 by the cultural association Le Belle Arti APS, with the aim of bringing art out of its normal fruition spaces. In 2012, the Association got an agreement with RFI – Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (Italian rail network), to regenerate 17 disused spaces in seven stations of the Passante railway, which runs through Milan. These organizations, together with their activities (theater, visual art, dance, music, photography, handicraft, …), have become a heritage that has been integrated with the stations that host them and with the surrounding area. A network of interconnected places of cultural production and enjoyment.
How would you describe the area of Milan where the railway station is located?
Lancetti station is set in the Bovisa-Dergano neighborhood, in Milan. Until the 1960s, Bovisa was a classic industrial periphery, the symbol of progress and economic development in Lombardy. Since the seventies, the area has undergone an inexorable decline due to deindustrialisation. This part of the city, until the mid-90s, due to the deindustrialisation and the associated crisis, experienced a period of severe deterioration. Then Milan Polytechnic decided to set up the university campus of Architecture, Design and Engineering, with its laboratories, departments, classrooms, libraries that host a total of 12,000 people. The area now hosts also many business offices. In the coming years, it will undergo another urban regeneration, thanks to the building of a new branch of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, walkways for bikes and pedestrians, green areas and public spaces. The Milan's Passante is an almost entirely underground railway, a hybrid structure beetween a subway and a railway station, that runs through Milan. All the lines of the Passante connect the six main urban stops: Lancetti, Dateo, Porta Vittoria, Repubblica, Porta Garibaldi, Porta Venezia. Lancetti station is served by lines S1, S2, S5, S6, S12 and S13 of Milan, these link different cities in Lombardy.
Lancetti Railway Station, 2021
I have developed a love for unorthodox spaces, not only because of their aesthetics but also for the philosophies of those who have decided to bring art into such spatiality. Are there some spaces in Italy or even in other countries that you would recommend?
We know some other unorthodox places that operate as exhibition venues, and we would like to focus on the Italian ones. Edicola Radetzky is another former newsstand set in Milan, turned into a space devoted to contemporary art. The newborn co_atto, part of the Artepassante Project, is a series of 18 display windows, once used for advertising posters, in the Garibaldi station of Milan. It is a multidisciplinary project space which will host site-specific artworks and an archive in progress. The first exhibition season will start in March 2021. Superfluo, in Milan, is a former store which windows have been sandblasted to leave just a 50×50 cm square, through which music, fashion, design and art initiatives can be seen. NEUTRO is an exhibition space made of six display windows, positioned along a commercial passage in the center of Reggio Emilia. The programme combines the work of artists and photographers. Una vetrina is a display window set in Rome, which has become an exhibition space on the street. Its programme includes temporary exhibitions, with performances and visual contributions by artists, writers, philosophers and poets. State Of_ in an exhibition space in Milan housed in a fashion showroom, a reality in which art not only communicates with fashion but also integrates with it. Casa Cicca is a house museum in Milan that hosts more than 1,000 works and objects from guests, both artists and travellers, who have passed through it over the years. The building used to be a brothel. Manifatture Knos, in Lecce, was a former school for metal workers, which now hosts a place for participation and sharing of ideas and projects, in the fields of creativity and social innovation.

You, spazioSERRA were challenging our sound sculpture project. It was the first time that a space was sending same-time sound and moving pictures. They have now been all reassembled and re-interpreted from artist Cornelius Wildner. The work has been entitled view from Octagon. Can you tell us something more about the time when these videos have been recorded, and why?
The videos are from the past season; they have been made for Instagram. We want to communicate not only the exhibitions that take place at our space, but also the space experience. It is a primary interest of us to show what sensations this space is evoking in us. Above all, we wanted to bring life here, not using exhibitions as the only means to define space. spazioSERRA lives in its beauty, in its story, and its place. We promote what surrounds us. This is the reason why we focus on the landmarks of the station, such as surveillance cameras, hallways, modern architecture, artificial lights, symbols, passers-by, etc.

Bichkraft
(Wharf Cat)
Words by Guia Cortassa
Bichkraft had their kinda breakout in 2016, when their sophomore release, 'Shadoof', emerged as one of the most interesting post-punk/noise/industrial albums of the year. At the time, the Ukrainian four-piece was still writing and recording in their hometown of Kiev in a self-built studio, maximising the fascination around their obscure sound. Now, after a big stint in the US, the band is back with '800', written during their tour in the States and recorded in Brooklyn under the production of Merchandise's Carson Cox.
The American influence on the new tracks is undeniable: from the very beginning, the sound of the transoceanic post-punk experience transpires in the heated guitar riffs that took over the more atmospheric sound of their previous work, with 'Ashley' filled by a distant reminder of Nirvana's iconic riff from 'Come As You Are' and '13 Again' winking at Californian garage rock.
It's with 'Yonder' that we finally get back to what made Bichkraft as interesting as they were: their great talent in assembling industrial tracks with metallic sounds and '80s drum machines without ever sounding derivative or nostalgic. This time, the accuracy of the production adds a new, enhancing sharpness, even in a less refined, still very well layered track 'Introducing Yourself'. Distortion and feedback pave way to a new twist in Bichkraft's music: a vocal part with English lyrics, courtesy of Sam York (and Elizabeth Skadden in the final 'Some People Have All The Luck'), drawing a line linking to the best (or worst) Velvet Underground experiments.

Palin to keep low-profile on Wisconsin trip
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/07/25/art.palinbye0725.cnn.jpg caption="Palin is keeping a low profile on her trip to Wisconsin Friday."](CNN) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is set to deliver remarks at a Wisconsin Right to Life event Friday evening, one of the few speeches the former Republican vice presidential nominee will have given since she resigned the governorship last summer.
But Palin appears to be doing her best to keep a low profile on this trip: no press will be allowed into the Milwaukee auditorium where she will speak and those who have paid the $30 admittance fee are unable to carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind.
Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate told the Wisconsin Radio Network he finds all these restrictions "bizarre."
"You know, for someone who claims to be a rogue and isn't afraid of what other people think it really is sort of hypocritical to not let the media, the press cover your event."
Meanwhile Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus said he's excited Palin is coming to his state, but stressed the party has nothing to do with this event or its limitations.
Related: Palin's high risk strategy
Palin's speech comes a day after a new national poll suggests the former Alaska governor may face some obstacles should she decide to run for the White House. According to the new Gallup survey, only about one in three Americans would seriously consider casting their vote for her.
The speech also comes a week and half before Palin's highly-anticipated memoir "Going Rogue: An American Life" is released. The Alaska Republican will commence a national book tour soon after and sit down for high-profile interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters.

Palin is just as narcissistic as the next politician, regardless of party.
She earned a nice paycheck by going over seas and to complain about our president at length to an auditorium full of money men. The Dixie chicks made a remark about Bush during a concert in England and their career was practically destroyed. Sarah drags Obama through the mud, gets a paycheck for it, and she's a hero to the very people that cried foul about the Dixie Chicks breaking some unwritten rule.
Palin and her 'fans' are oblivious to their hypocrisy.
Low Profile doesn't mean "No Press Allowed", Sarah! Low Profile means not doing or saying outrageous things that keep the spotlights on!!!

You know....this lady claims to be maverick, is a liar because if she really was she wouldn't care what the press or people say about her...Due to the fact that she has to have total control of the situation tells me that she's a narcissist and she thinks SHE'S the only one who matters. Got news for ya Sarah...You don't matter to people who actually care about what's going on in the country.

If Obama did this, the Republicans would say "what's he hiding?" They'd say he was forming some kind of secret Stalinist meeting or something.
But from Democrats, you get much more appropriate responses such as "that's bizarre." That's the difference between the parties; in case anyone is undecided and looking.
Stephen Hammond
your 15 minutes are up...aren't they.
Palin is terrified of the press. Perhaps she finally realizes how ignorant she appears, and is, to the rest of the country. Too bad she won't just go back to where she came from. She will never be anything more than she is right now. I truly hope she runs for prez in 2012. After the terrible economy we will have been experiencing by then, everyone will be desperate for some comic relief and who better to provide it than Palin.
D. Tree
She's keepng a low profile because she's going to be saying some extreme things and pandering to the far right.

More than a newspaper
The Commons is the public face of a larger nonprofit organization, Vermont Independent Media, Inc.
We came to life from the ground up in 2004, as members of the community became increasingly concerned about the consequences of absent corporate ownership of the daily newspaper in town and the need for local people to have access to the skills to create their own grassroots media.

Can a new program put cash in the pockets of those who need it most?
Brattleboro funds three-month pilot program offering day-labor stints
Youth Services is seeking to hire a full-time employment coordinator to oversee the Work Today Program. To learn more or to apply, visit youthservicesinc.org/careers.
By Olga Peters/The Commons
BRATTLEBORO—"The number one goal is to get cash into people's pockets," said Emilie Kornheiser, director of workforce development for Youth Services. "It's as simple as that."
People in need can find multiple services in this town that provide a place to sleep or a meal, she said. Yet, moving from service to service also means that these community members operate in a cashless economy.
People still need to buy toilet paper, said Kornheiser. whose agency recently unveiled its Work Today Program to the Selectboard.
The program is intended to serve as a new sort of temp agency, connecting 10 temporary workers with daily work. They will receive $15 per hour for doing what organizers envision as custodial work, seasonal tasks, and simple municipal maintenance projects that fall through the cracks.
The board approved $65,000 for the town to essentially be the client for the three-month pilot program.
Kornheiser, who also represents District 1 in the Vermont House of Representatives, described the funding as "seed money."
Youth Services will use funding to launch the program enough to prove it viable. From there, the organization can seek other funding through grants and bringing on other employers.
Kornheiser presented the funding request, and the board approved it, at its July 9 meeting.
Town Manager Peter Elwell said that "as a non-budgeted expense," the $65,000 will come from savings. Through the course of a year, the town usually ends up saving money on operations and ends the fiscal year with a $400,000 to $900,000 surplus. Elwell said he felt confident that it will end this fiscal year with a similar surplus.
'Work on demand' with support available but no strings
At this early stage, the Youth Services Work Today Program will operate three days a week for three months.
Kornheiser described the "low-barrier work program" as a "work on demand."
"We've been looking for a way for folks to find easier access to work," she said. "When people are ready and able to work, they are able to make a few dollars, and when they are not, they are able to come back the next day or the next week."
While many of Youth Services' programs focus on young people up to age 24, some of its programs — such as its restorative justice program — serve people of all ages.
Kornheiser explained that on the work days, people will meet in the morning with the program coordinator. The coordinator will drive the workers to the job site.
During the six-hour work day, Youth Services will also provide lunch.
At the lunch break, the day workers will have the option to speak with people from social-service agencies. To participate in the work program, the workers need only work — they do not also need to participate in other social-service programs, she said.
At the end of the work day, the coordinator picks everyone up, drives them to the meeting point, and pays them. People will receive payment the same day that they work, she explained.
Kornheiser is looking into a variety of ways people can receive their pay — for example, a smart card like a debit card or electronic-benefits transfer card. Brattleboro Savings & Loan is also participating in discussions about helping participants open bank accounts, she said.
Each workday is a fresh start, Kornheiser said. Youth Services does not expect participants "to move along a specific continuum of work or service."
The idea for a day-labor program has floated through the municipality and various human service organizations for approximately two years. It came up during several conversations with the Selectboard as community members raised concerns about people panhandling. They asked if a day-labor program could serve as a solution.
Groundworks Collaborative and the town have tried to launch such a program. Their efforts, however, met with substantial barriers, such as state labor laws and liability concerns.
Youth Services, however, was in the process of creating a youth-led business program, Kornheiser said.
The organization was able to fold the work-on-demand structure into the its new workforce development department. It created a low-profit limited liability company (L3C) that will cover the employment part of the program and will focus on workforce skills for people who may be in transition.
The Vermont Secretary of State's office describes an L3C as a "hybrid nonprofit/for-profit entity." Similar to a nonprofit, the company's drive is charitable or educational. Like a for-profit company, an L3C can turn a profit to benefit an owner. Such companies do not receive corporate tax exemption as federally-recognized nonprofit charities would.
The three-month pilot program with the town will allow Youth Services to iron out any logistical wrinkles that could arise — for example, around transportation or payroll. It would also give Youth Services time to create other funding streams — such as grants — and build partnerships with other potential employers.
"It's much easier to get funds once an idea has been tested and we can tell compelling stories to the people who control the dollars," Kornheiser told the board. "We're essentially serving as a temp agency, and the town — and eventually other employers in the area, we're hoping — is serving as the employer that is contracting for those services."
She stressed that Youth Services wanted to ensure that the temporary workers' labor rights and safety are protected. It's also important that the employers are protected from liability and that existing employees know that the temporary laborers aren't replacing any existing jobs.
Kornheiser said that, over the last 20 years in the United States, the number of people living their lives with little cash in their pockets has increased. This program aims to provide some cash so people in need can "get by," she said.
The state has a workforce shortage, and it can be easy to get a low-wage job, she said. At the same time, maintaining that full-time employment is hard. Workers struggle with auxiliary issues such as transportation and paying for child care and health care, she added.
So this program should help people fill in the cracks, she said.
'Complicated feelings' about compensation
Brattleboro resident Fric J. Spruyt asked if potential employers could screen the temporary workers.
According to Spruyt, he's had issues with workers in recovery relapsing. Tools started disappearing, he said.
Kornheiser answered, no. That is the difference of going through an employment agency and hiring temporary employees rather than hiring someone directly.
She said that Youth Services may investigate bonding, a measure that the state is taking with people just leaving prison. She added that the organization will also carry some liability insurance.
Board member Tim Wessel said, "I have a lot of complicated feelings about this, but I'm impressed by the work you've done."
He said he expected community members to have multiple reactions to the program, specifically the $15-per-hour wage. Why not pay minimum wage, which in Vermont is $10.78 an hour?
Kornheiser responded that, "it's really important to us that if we're doing this, that we're doing it with dignity."
She added that the youth the organization works with often receive a stipend at that same rate.
And if Youth Services hopes to model to people about purpose, the dignity of work, and building a community that serves all, and if everyone benefits from the economy, "then $15 an hour is the bare minimum."
Wessel countered saying that some might question the hourly rate because it is more than many people working full-time earn.
Kornheiser reminded the audience that the majority of minimum-wage workers statewide are single moms and that it is important to think about the broader context.
She added, too, that day-workers are closer to contract workers than salaried employees in the sense that people doing contract work tend to charge higher rates because they are covering taxes, health insurance, and overhead themselves. Salaried employees receive a different set of benefits.
'Huge amount of need' is 'mostly invisible'
In a separate interview with The Commons, Kornheiser hoped that the work program would help people build new connections in the community.
She explained that under capitalism, work is how many people integrate into their community. Work represents a person's "worthy" contribution to society and is usually how one builds a support network of friends — therefore, she said, it can be harder for people not in the workforce to participate in their community.
Another goal of the Work Today pilot is to help workers slowly build the skills to enter the workforce permanently if the person wants to do so.
The program does not promise full-time work, however.
"There is a huge amount of need in this community which is mostly invisible," she said.
People might focus on the activity of panhandling because it is the "visible edge" of people's economic struggles, she said, but "[t]he bulk of it is really hidden from many of us."
Kornheiser said that this work-on-demand program is one effort among many in the community to help people meet their economic needs. It is not, however, the be-all and end-all.
"I want to make sure that we're not thinking because someone is asking for money on the street that they must be immediately shuffled off to this program," she said. "It's important that this program is voluntary."

Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Family fitness expert and mama, Leah Chandler, shares how to make your household more calm by holding family yoga sessions.
To me, yoga is all about the connection. The connection with your breath, your mind and your body. That's why I would very much recommend bringing it into your home and introducing it to your family.
The connection is then also with your family, as it is a chance to slow down, connect with each other and explore the benefits of yoga together.
The world is very fast paced and so many distractions are around us, especially for our children! This is a chance to reset the mind and body while focussing on moving and breathing.
1. It is non-competitive (it's all about your own journey).
2. It develops body awareness and builds concentration.
3. It teaches how to manage stress through healthy movement and meditation.
4. It develops muscle tone, strength, balance and flexibility.
5. It helps to develop a positive self and confidence.
6. It helps to connect families together by yoga movement and play.
Introducing yoga to your kids can be as simple as going to a family yoga class held in your area, or searching for simple kids yoga videos on Youtube and following them in your living room – or out in the backyard.
Once you get the hang of it, it's fun to get your yoga on in other places, like down at the beach, the park, and other places of nature.
Remember, to keep it simple and FUN for all family members!
Not only will you have more connected kids, you will also have calmer kids. And… you might just notice a healthier you, in both mind and body.

Pompeo calls report of forced sterilisation of Uighurs 'shocking'
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday labelled as "shocking" and "disturbing" reports that China's ruling Communist Party is using forced sterilisation, forced abortion and coercive family planning against minority Muslims.
Pompeo highlighted a report about the situation in China's Xinjiang region by German researcher Adrian Zenz published by the Washington-based Jamestown Foundation think-tank.
Pompeo, a persistent critic of China, including its treatment of Muslims in Xinjiang, said in a statement that the findings were consistent with decades of Chinese Communist Party practices "that demonstrate an utter disregard for the sanctity of human life and basic human dignity".
"We call on the Chinese Communist Party to immediately end these horrific practices and ask all nations to join the United States in demanding an end to these dehumanizing abuses."
In his report, Zenz said his findings represented the strongest evidence yet that Beijing's policies in Xinjiang met one of the genocide criteria cited in the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, namely "imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group".
Zenz said analysis of Chinese government documents showed natural population growth in Xinjiang had fallen "dramatically". He said that, in its two largest Uighur Muslim prefectures, growth rates fell by 84 percent between 2015 and 2018 and further in 2019.
The Chinese embassy in Washington referred to a statement by Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, saying that "some institutions are bent on cooking up disinformation on Xinjiang-related issues … Their allegations are simply groundless and false."
Documents from 2019 revealed plans for a campaign of mass female sterilisation targeting 14 percent and 34 percent of all married women of childbearing age in two Uighur counties, Zenz wrote. The campaign, he said, likely aimed to sterilise rural minority women with three or more children, as well as some with two children – equivalent to at least 20 percent of all women of childbearing age.
"Budget figures indicate that this project had sufficient funding for performing hundreds of thousands of tubal ligation sterilization procedures in 2019 and 2020," he wrote.
Zenz said that, by 2019, Xinjiang planned to subject at least 80 percent of women of childbearing age in its four southern minority prefectures to intrusive birth prevention surgeries – placement of intrauterine devices or sterilisations.
He said in 2018, 80 percent of all new IUD placements in China were performed in Xinjiang, while only 1.8 percent of the population lives there.

Q: How to get an IPv6 subnet to use in Docker? I have an IPv6 IP on the guest server which running docker
301b:e0d0:401:0348:lk19:7:0:2

Configuration in the /etc/resolv.conf
domain my.domain

nameserver ::1
nameserver 301b:e0d0:401:0348:505:7:0:2
nameserver 301b:e0d0:401:0348:506:7:0:2

How to get its subnet? We can change the forth value start from right side. But keep other values the same.
I have tried to set the subnet to it in my network. Set it in my docker-compose.yml file
networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge
    enable_ipv6: true
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 301b:e0d0:401:0348::/64

services:
  ipv6nat:
    container_name: ipv6nat
    restart: always
    image: robbertkl/ipv6nat
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro

But it doesn't work. Can't use ping6 to other network in the container with this format
# ping6 301b:e0d0:401:0348:[DIFFERENT_VALUE_HERE]:7:0:2
unreachable

A:
How to get an IPv6 subnet to use in Docker?

Ask your provider, ISP, or whatever for a delegation of address space. If you only have a /64 you don't have enough.  Ideally you should be able to request a /48, though if they are being stingy they might give you something like a /56.

We can change the forth value start from right side

No, you can't. Your network is a /64, meaning the half the bits are used for the host address. The Docker Host, and the network that you are creating in that compose must be in separate subnets.
But you are both networks on the same subnet.
301b:e0d0:401:0348:[DIFFERENT_VALUE_HERE]:7:0:2

The 301b:e0d0:401:0348:: part of the address defines the subnet for a /64 everything after that just i used for hosts on that same subnet.


Spokesman for Hamas parliamentary group Salah el-Berdevil has assessed the claims about Israel's attack towards Gaza, its threats and rockets fired on Eilat city, as an attempt to block Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Gaza visit. Speaking to Turkish press, Berdevil underlined that the US and Israel did not want Erdogan to pay a visit to Gaza and stressed, "In order to block Erdogan's planned Gaza visit, Israel threatens Gaza with a new attack. In order to break the political stability in the region, Israel claims that rockets which hit Eilat city were shot from Gaza."
Berdevil also assessed the Middle East tour of US Secretary of State John Kerry and added, "Kerry's visits point out that the US marked the region on its agenda. One of the most important agenda topics in the region is resumption of Israel-Palestine negotiations."

UW–Madison to Co-Lead $10 Million NSF Grant to Cultivate a More Diverse, Inclusive STEM Faculty
September 13, 2018 By UW-Madison
To broaden participation in STEM programs and fields, the National Science Foundation (NSF) today announced the award of a five-year, $10 million NSF INCLUDES Alliance grant to be co-led by UW–Madison's Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
"We are delighted to be among the first recipients of NSF's INCLUDES Alliance awards," states Robert Mathieu, an astronomy professor at UW–Madison who co-directs the new alliance. "Despite the importance of a more diverse faculty and the use of more inclusive practices by all faculty to advance learning and student success, improvement efforts have not been as successful as needed, particularly in STEM subjects. For example, underrepresented minority faculty are a mere 8 percent of associate and full professors in STEM fields at four-year institutions. Data show that when diverse faculty members teach underrepresented students, these students achieve at significantly higher rates, shrinking achievement gaps in those classes by 20 to 50 percent."

Heart Shape – Symbolism and Origins
Home/Culture, Knowledge, Spirituality/Heart Shape – Symbolism and Origins
The heart shape is an ideograph used to express the idea of the "heart" in its metaphorical or symbolic sense as the center of emotion, including affection and love, especially romantic love.
The "wounded heart" indicating lovesickness came to be depicted as a heart symbol pierced with an arrow (Cupid's), or "broken" in two or more pieces.
Origins of symbol
In the 6th-5th century BC, the heart shape was used to represent the heart-shaped fruit of the plant Silphium, a plant possibly used as a contraceptive. Many species in the parsley family have estrogenic properties, and some, such as wild carrot, was used to induce abortion.
Silver coins from Cyrene of the 6–5th BC bear a similar design, sometimes accompanied by a silphium plant and is understood to represent its seed or fruit.
Earliest use
The earliest known visual depiction of the heart symbol, as a lover, hands his heart to the beloved lady, in a manuscript of the Roman de la poire, mid-13th century.
The combination of the heart shape and its use within the heart metaphor developed at the end of the Middle Ages, although the shape has been used in many ancient epigraphy monuments and texts.
With possible early examples or direct predecessors in the 13th to 14th century, the familiar symbol of the heart representing love developed in the 15th century, and became popular in Europe during the 16th.
Before the 14th century, the heart shape was not associated with the meaning of the heart metaphor. The geometric shape itself is found in much earlier sources, but in such instances does not depict a heart, but typically foliage: in examples from antiquity fig leaves, and in medieval iconography and heraldry typically the leaves of ivy and of the water-lily.
One possible early use in the 11th century could be found in the manuscript, Al-Maqamat written by Al Hariri of Basra. The manuscript includes an illustration of a farewell greeting between two men while astride their camels, with the heart shape seen prominently over their heads.
The first known depiction of a heart as a symbol of romantic love dates to the 1250s. It occurs in a miniature decorating a capital 'S' in a manuscript of the French Roman de la poire (National Library FR MS. 2086, plate 12)
In the miniature, a kneeling lover (or more precisely, an allegory of the lover's "sweet gaze" or douz regart) offers his heart to a damsel. The heart here resembles a pine cone (held "upside down", the point facing upward), in accord with medieval anatomical descriptions.
However, in this miniature what suggests a heart shape is only the result of a lover's finger superimposed on an object; the full shape outline of the object is partly hidden, and therefore unknown.
Moreover, the French title of the manuscript that features the miniature translates into "Novel Of The Pear" in English. Thus the heart-shaped object would be a pear; the conclusion that a pear represents a heart is dubious. Opinions, therefore, differ over this being the first depiction of a heart as a symbol of romantic love.
Giotto in his 1305 painting in the Scrovegni Chapel (Padua) shows an allegory of charity (Caritas) handing her heart to Jesus Christ. This heart is also depicted in the pine cone shape based on anatomical descriptions of the day (still held "upside down").
Giotto's painting exerted considerable influence on later painters, and the motive of Caritas offering a heart is shown by Taddeo Gaddi in Santa Croce, by Andrea Pisano on the bronze door of the south porch of the Baptisterium in Florence (c. 1337), by Ambrogio Lorenzetti in the Palazzo Publico in Siena (c. 1340) and by Andrea da Firenze in Santa Maria Novella in Florence (c. 1365).
The convention of showing the heart point upward switches in the late 14th century and becomes rare in the first half of the 15th century.
The "scalloped" shape of the now-familiar heart symbol, with a dent in its base, arises in the early 14th century, at first only lightly dented, as in the miniatures in Francesco Barberino's Documenti d'amore (before 1320).
A slightly later example with a more pronounced dent is found in a manuscript from the Cistercian monastery in Brussels.
The convention of showing a dent at the base of the heart thus spread at about the same time as the convention of showing the heart with its point downward. The modern indented red heart has been used on playing cards since the late 15th century.
Various hypotheses attempted to connect the "heart-shape" as it evolved in the Late Middle Ages with instances of the geometric shape in antiquity.
Such theories are modern, proposed from the 1960s onward, and they remain speculative, as no continuity between the supposed ancient predecessors and the late medieval tradition can be shown.
Specific suggestions include the shape of the seed of the silphium plant, used in ancient times as an herbal contraceptive, and stylized depictions of features of the human female body, such as the female's breasts, buttocks, pubic mound, or spread vulva.
Renaissance and early modern
Heart shapes can be seen in the Bible Jesus holds in the Empress Zoë mosaic in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, but a reference to the organ was probably not intended. It probably dates from 1239.
Likewise, heart shapes can be seen on various stucco reliefs and wall panels excavated from the ruins of Ctesiphon, the Persian capital (circa 90 BC – 637 AD).
The Luther rose was the seal that was designed for Martin Luther at the behest of Prince John Frederick, in 1530, while Luther was staying at the Coburg Fortress during the Diet of Augsburg.
Luther wrote an explanation of the symbol to Lazarus Spengler:
"a black cross in a heart, which retains its natural color, so that I myself would be reminded that faith in the Crucified saves us. 'For one who believes from the heart will be justified' (Romans 10:10)."
The aorta remains visible, as a protrusion at the top centered between the two "chambers" indicated in the symbol, in some depictions of the Sacred Heart well into the 18th century, and is partly still shown today (although mostly obscured by elements such as a crown, flames, rays, or cross) but the "hearts" suit did not have this element since the 15th century.
Hearts reached Japan with the Nanban trade of 1543 to 1614, as evidenced by an Edo period Samurai helmet (dated c. 1630), which includes both the rounded and indented forms of the heart symbol, representing the heart of Marishiten, goddess of archers.
Since the 19th century, the symbol has often been used on Valentine's Day cards, candy boxes, and similar popular culture artifacts as a symbol of romantic love.
The use of this symbol as a logograph for the English verb "to love" derives from the use in "I ♥ NY," introduced in 1977.
Hearts were used to symbolize "health" or "lives" in video games; influentially so in The Legend of Zelda (1986). Super Mario Bros. 2 (1987, 1988) had a "life bar" composed of hexagons, but in 1990s remakes of these games, the hexagons were replaced by heart shapes.
Since the 1990s, hearts have also been used as an ideogram indicating health outside of the video gaming context, e.g. its use by restaurants to indicate heart-healthy nutrient content claim (e.g. "low in cholesterol").
A copyrighted "heart-check" symbol to indicate heart-healthy food was introduced by the American Heart Association in 1995.

During the past 18 ½ years running our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business, we have had to hire hundreds of team members for our growing company. Inadvertently, we also have had to fire and let many of them go.
Recently, we had a big learning experience that I did not foresee. Despite our extensive experience hiring great people and having an incredible team culture, this past summer we had a big wakeup call which turned into a monumental learning opportunity for our executive team and our teams too.
One of our team members, we'll call him Patrick, came to work for us over three years ago. He was a stellar employee and great team member. He showed up early for work to help get the trucks ready for the day, and he often went over and above in our operations to make things better for our team members and our clients and customers too. Little did we know that things were changing and would cause a terrible ripple effect that would damage our team culture, hurt our operations and cause a steady leak in our revenue that we were not aware of.
We knew he had been going through some very challenging times in his personal life. He assured us he was okay and that it wasn't affecting his work or job performance. We did notice that he wasn't himself, but we felt confident that what he was telling us was the truth and we were to trust him.
Then we started hearing whispers around his lack of performance and cutting corners, but our team members were not coming to us with complaints. They were simply whispers we were hearing through the grapevine without any solid proof or concrete evidence.
It wasn't until there was an incident that blew the entire lid off of what was truly happening in our business and in our culture.
Without going into too much detail to protect the integrity of the team and his identity, a falling out took place and we needed to get to the bottom of what was truly happening, and fast.
I contacted each team member privately and asked them to be honest with me about what they were experiencing in the field with this employee. It didn't take long for them to reveal our worst nightmare. Every single team member was negatively impacted by Patrick's behaviour and choices. They each felt that he had changed so much that they did not want to work with him.
I was devastated. How could this have happened? How could this have happened on our watch? Didn't we have a great team culture? Didn't they feel safe coming to me or my business partner to share what they had been experiencing?
I had to ensure that everybody on the team, including Patrick, would be respected through this challenging time and that we would support each individual through this experience, including Patrick.
A meeting was set with Patrick and the truth about what was revealed to us was shared. He was apologetic. He knew he wasn't himself. He knew what he was doing was wrong and that he lost his passion for the job and the people. He wanted a way out but didn't know how to ask for it.
We mutually agreed it was time to part ways, that he needed to find something he loved and something he could invest himself in wholeheartedly. We provided him with a generous severance package and began to unpack the lessons learned from this experience.
We apologized to our team members and asked them for their feedback and suggestions to ensure they felt supported and could come to us when there as a problem.
1. Invite honesty and vulnerability: When someone is struggling in their personal life, it will undoubtedly affect their work. Our role as executives is to ensure they feel supported and can come to us when things start to derail. Having a clear process for them to reach out privately is vitally important. There must be a safe and private way for them to tell the truth without fear.
2. Support all parties involved: It's great to tell your team members they can come to you when there's a problem, but there has to be a safe way for them to come to you too. They have to feel safe that they will not be seen as someone who can't be trusted. How will you protect them, and all parties involved, when there is a problem? What systems do you have in place to ensure they can be honest without the reciprocations?
3. Meet your people where they are: Things will go awry in your business, and your people will struggle. How can you meet them where they are, meaning how can you support them through what they are telling you they are struggling with? When someone is no longer a fit in your company, how can you meet your team where they are to hear them, learn from them, and then take action?
4. Learn from your own mistakes: No matter how long we've been in business, we're all still learning. Sometimes, we often get caught in the complacency trap or we think that all things are running smoothly, until we find out they are not. What can you learn from mistakes that are affecting your operations, your people and your business?
5. Listen to your team's suggestions for improvement: Give your team members a place to share their suggestions for improvement. Give them a voice so they can be part of the solution. They may offer insights that brings a new perspective or an idea that can improve the business. Be open to listening to what they have to say and take action to improve.
It was not a pleasant or easy experience for any of us to go through this past summer. It deeply affected our team members and through it all, we learned to be open, trust in each other when things are not going the way they should, and to be there to support each other when it's time to make tough decisions.
Our team culture is stronger than it has ever been because of this experience. A recent system-wide culture survey ranked our culture as one of the best system-wide. Had we not gone through this experience, who knows how long the dissemination of what we had built was going to continue. We feel fortunate that it stopped when it did and we all came through this experience with better systems and practices to ensure that all team members feel supported and heard, and that when it's time for someone to leave, the process is made much easier for them.
What about you? Have you had a similar experience? What did you learn? How did your experience improve your company culture? Please share. I'd love to hear!

Swahili, Africa's answer to a unified continent?
The news about the incorporation of the Swahili language into the South African school curriculum continues to spark mixed reactions from all over the continent. Some believe it is a good idea while others do not think it will have any impact on the continent.
The announcement came a few weeks after leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters party, Julius Malema, ((insert picture of Julius Malema)) called for the adoption of a common language in Africa, hinting at Swahili being that language.
According to him, a language like Swahili can unite Africans. And this is our focus today. Swahili is a Bantu language believed to have originated from other languages, mainly Arabic, due to historical interactions between Arabs from the Middle East and East Africans. It was the trade language that was created to facilitate communication between a number of Southern and Eastern Africa's wide variety of ethnic groups.
So the Swahili language is widely spoken in Africa with more than 100 million speakers. Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, DR Congo, northern Mozambique, northern Zambia all speak this language.

Best Selling » Tiles made of clay material are being used occasionally. Since they are made of natural materials, they can be much cheaper than many other materials plus they keep the inside of the home cool through the summer. They are highly resistant to temperature and rainwater. They are also not easily combustible. Hence they can be preferred within the coconut and areca nut roofs. Despite several new and attractive tile materials which are created today, clay tiles have never lost their attractiveness.
