Hop on the system. Provide an extraordinary presentation. Make a ton of cash offering your services and products on the back-end.
Can it actually be this simple? Actually of course when you understand what you'& rsquo; re doing and also you have the correct way of thinking.
Professionals around the world are making amazing livings by obtaining in front of target markets that aspire to hear exactly what they need to claim as well as gain from them. It takes more than merely obtaining on the platform to recognize just how profitable talking can actually be.
Before entering what to do, allow'& rsquo; s look at why obtaining on the platform is such an extraordinary way to create a business, especially for soloentrepreneurs, small company owners, audio speakers, trains, professionals as well as authors.
The fact is, more every day there is a rise in company talking possibilities. According to Convention Industry Company 205 Million individuals in the United States attend 1.8 million conventions, conferences, profession programs, best mainndosetto and events, incentive occasions as well as corporate/business meetings annually.
Imagine obtaining simply a teeny little these opportunities.
Truth: seasoned speakers commonly have ample possibility to choose where they desire to talk. Yet, it'& rsquo; s not simply a matter of resting back and waiting for the flood entrances of gigs to flow in. Despite just how much experience and also time in the market an audio speaker has, he or she should be positive in creating chances.
Among the most effective means is to host self staged occasions.
Really, self organized events are on the surge and also extremely, really lucrative to solo entrepreneurs as well as experts in different areas.
Merely put, a self organized occasion is where you produce your very own speaking involvements. Pass on, these could be among the most successful and also versatile types of occasions for any type of specialists.
When you hold your very own occasions YOU pick the date, area, subject, material and backside offers. There'& rsquo; s a lot to be stated for this type of versatility.
With the last few events I hosted I created over 6 figures in each one. You review right; six numbers greater than as soon as.
Below'& rsquo; s things though; you can learn all the strategies, techniques and also solutions for ending up being an effective audio speaker, yet if you wear'& rsquo; t have the ideal frame of mind, it & rsquo; s all for naught. You absolutely have to have a frame of mind that sustains your vision of exactly what is feasible.
Right here are a few inquiries to contemplate.
Exactly what do you already have reserved?
Where would you prefer to speak?
What events can you organize to serve your market?
What teams and associations can you represent?
The even more you plan this out the much more you could load your talking schedule.
The words are Donald Trump's from his truth show "The Apprentice." Think of Donald Trump and also his larger-than-life individuality as well as his MASSIVE projects.
To us the Billionaire Frame of mind is focusing your sources (your time, cash, and individuals) on those things that will certainly make one of the most distinction in obtaining the results you want. Above all, to be critical.

Install a Kubernetes load balancer on your Raspberry Pi homelab with MetalLB
======
Assign real IPs from your home network to services running in your
cluster and access them from other hosts on your network.
![Science lab with beakers][1]

Kubernetes is designed to integrate with major cloud providers' load balancers to provide public IP addresses and direct traffic into a cluster. Some professional network equipment manufacturers also offer controllers to integrate their physical load-balancing products into Kubernetes installations in private data centers. For an enthusiast running a Kubernetes cluster at home, however, neither of these solutions is very helpful.

Kubernetes does not have a built-in network load-balancer implementation. A bare-metal cluster, such as a [Kubernetes cluster installed on Raspberry Pis for a private-cloud homelab][2], or really any cluster deployed outside a public cloud and lacking expensive professional hardware, needs another solution. [MetalLB][3] fulfills this niche, both for enthusiasts and large-scale deployments.

MetalLB is a network load balancer and can expose cluster services on a dedicated IP address on the network, allowing external clients to connect to services inside the Kubernetes cluster. It does this via either [layer 2 (data link)][4] using [Address Resolution Protocol][5] (ARP) or [layer 4 (transport)][6] using [Border Gateway Protocol][7] (BGP).

While Kubernetes does have something called [Ingress][8], which allows HTTP and HTTPS traffic to be exposed outside the cluster, it supports _only_ HTTP or HTTPS traffic, while MetalLB can support any network traffic. It is more of an apples-to-oranges comparison, however, because MetalLB provides resolution of an unassigned IP address to a particular cluster node and assigns that IP to a Service, while Ingress uses a specific IP address and internally routes HTTP or HTTPS traffic to a Service or Services based on routing rules.

MetalLB can be set up in just a few steps, works especially well in private homelab clusters, and within Kubernetes clusters, it behaves the same as public cloud load-balancer integrations. This is great for education purposes (i.e., learning how the technology works) and makes it easier to "lift-and-shift" workloads between on-premises and cloud environments.

### ARP vs. BGP

As mentioned, MetalLB works via either ARP or BGP to resolve IP addresses to specific hosts. In simplified terms, this means when a client attempts to connect to a specific IP, it will ask "which host has this IP?" and the response will point it to the correct host (i.e., the host's MAC address).

With ARP, the request is broadcast to the entire network, and a host that knows which MAC address has that IP address responds to the request; in this case, MetalLB's answer directs the client to the correct node.

With BGP, each "peer" maintains a table of routing information directing clients to the host handling a particular IP for IPs and the hosts the peer knows about, and it advertises this information to its peers. When configured for BGP, MetalLB peers each of the nodes in the cluster with the network's router, allowing the router to direct clients to the correct host.

In both instances, once the traffic has arrived at a host, Kubernetes takes over directing the traffic to the correct pods.

For the following exercise, you'll use ARP. Consumer-grade routers don't (at least easily) support BGP, and even higher-end consumer or professional routers that do support BGP can be difficult to set up. ARP, especially in a small home network, can be just as useful and requires no configuration on the network to work. It is considerably easier to implement.

### Install MetalLB

Installing MetalLB is straightforward. Download or copy two manifests from [MetalLB's GitHub repository][9] and apply them to Kubernetes. These two manifests create the namespace MetalLB's components will be deployed to and the components themselves: the MetalLB controller, a "speaker" daemonset, and service accounts.

#### Install the components

Once you create the components, a random secret is generated to allow encrypted communication between the speakers (i.e., the components that "speak" the protocol to make services reachable).

(Note: These steps are also available on MetalLB's website.)

The two manifests with the required MetalLB components are:

  * <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metallb/metallb/v0.9.3/manifests/namespace.yaml>
  * <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metallb/metallb/v0.9.3/manifests/metallb.yaml>

They can be downloaded and applied to the Kubernetes cluster using the `kubectl apply` command, either locally or directly from the web:

```
# Verify the contents of the files, then download and pipe then to kubectl with curl
# (output omitted)
$ kubectl apply -f <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metallb/metallb/v0.9.3/manifests/namespace.yaml>
$ kubectl apply -f <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metallb/metallb/v0.9.3/manifests/metallb.yaml>
```

After applying the manifests, create a random Kubernetes secret for the speakers to use for encrypted communications:

```
# Create a secret for encrypted speaker communications
$ kubectl create secret generic -n metallb-system memberlist --from-literal=secretkey="$(openssl rand -base64 128)"
```

Completing the steps above will create and start all the MetalLB components, but they will not do anything until they are configured. To configure MetalLB, create a configMap that describes the pool of IP addresses the load balancer will use.

#### Configure the address pools

MetalLB needs one last bit of setup: a configMap with details of the addresses it can assign to the Kubernetes Service LoadBalancers. However, there is a small consideration. The addresses in use do not need to be bound to specific hosts in the network, but they must be free for MetalLB to use and not be assigned to other hosts.

In my home network, IP addresses are assigned by the DHCP server my router is running. This DHCP server should not attempt to assign the addresses that MetalLB will use. Most consumer routers allow you to decide how large your subnet will be and can be configured to assign only a subset of IPs in that subnet to hosts via DHCP.

In my network, I am using the subnet `192.168.2.1/24`, and I decided to give half the IPs to MetalLB. The first half of the subnet consists of IP addresses from `192.168.2.1` to `192.168.2.126`. This range can be represented by a `/25` subnet: `192.168.2.1/25`. The second half of the subnet can similarly be represented by a `/25` subnet: `192.168.2.128/25`. Each half contains 126 IPs—more than enough for the hosts and Kubernetes services. Make sure to decide on subnets appropriate to your own network and configure your router and MetalLB appropriately.

After configuring the router to ignore addresses in the `192.168.2.128/25` subnet (or whatever subnet you are using), create a configMap to tell MetalLB to use that pool of addresses:

```
# Create the config map
$ cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  namespace: metallb-system
  name: config
data:
  config: |
    address-pools:
    - name: address-pool-1
      protocol: layer2
      addresses:
      - 192.168.2.128/25
EOF
```

The example configMap above uses [CIDR][10] notation, but the list of addresses can also be specified as a range:

```
addresses:
 - 192.168.2.128-192.168.2.254
```

Once the configMap is created, MetalLB will be active. Time to try it out!

### Test MetalLB

You can test the new MetalLB configuration by creating an example web service, and you can use one from a [previous article][2] in this series: Kube Verify. Use the same image to test that MetalLB is working as expected: `quay.io/clcollins/kube-verify:01`. This image contains an Nginx server listening for requests on port 8080. You can [view the Containerfile][11] used to create the image. If you want, you can instead build your own container image from the Containerfile and use that for testing.

If you previously created a Kubernetes cluster on Raspberry Pis, you may already have a Kube Verify service running and can [skip to the section][12] on creating a LoadBalancer-type of service.

#### If you need to create a kube-verify namespace

If you do not already have a `kube-verify` namespace, create one with the `kubectl` command:

```
# Create a new namespace
$ kubectl create namespace kube-verify
# List the namespaces
$ kubectl get namespaces
NAME              STATUS   AGE
default           Active   63m
kube-node-lease   Active   63m
kube-public       Active   63m
kube-system       Active   63m
metallb-system    Active   21m
kube-verify       Active   19s
```

With the namespace created, create a deployment in that namespace:

```
# Create a new deployment
$ cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: kube-verify
  namespace: kube-verify
  labels:
    app: kube-verify
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: kube-verify
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: kube-verify
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: quay.io/clcollins/kube-verify:01
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
EOF
deployment.apps/kube-verify created
```

#### Create a LoadBalancer-type Kubernetes service

Now expose the deployment by creating a LoadBalancer-type Kubernetes service. If you already have a service named `kube-verify`, this will replace that one:

```
# Create a LoadBalancer service for the kube-verify deployment
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: kube-verify
  namespace: kube-verify
spec:
  selector:
    app: kube-verify
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
      targetPort: 8080
  type: LoadBalancer
EOF
```

You could accomplish the same thing with the `kubectl expose` command:

```
`kubectl expose deployment kube-verify -n kube-verify --type=LoadBalancer --target-port=8080 --port=80`
```

MetalLB is listening for services of type LoadBalancer and immediately assigns an external IP (an IP chosen from the range you selected when you set up MetalLB). View the new service and the external IP address MetalLB assigned to it with the `kubectl get service` command:

```
# View the new kube-verify service
$ kubectl get service kube-verify -n kube-verify
NAME          TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP     PORT(S)        AGE
kube-verify   LoadBalancer   10.105.28.147   192.168.2.129   80:31491/TCP   4m14s

# Look at the details of the kube-verify service
$ kubectl describe service kube-verify -n kube-verify
Name:                     kube-verify
Namespace:                kube-verify
Labels:                   app=kube-verify
Annotations:              <none>
Selector:                 app=kube-verify
Type:                     LoadBalancer
IP:                       10.105.28.147
LoadBalancer Ingress:     192.168.2.129
Port:                     <unset>  80/TCP
TargetPort:               8080/TCP
NodePort:                 <unset>  31491/TCP
Endpoints:                10.244.1.50:8080,10.244.1.51:8080,10.244.2.36:8080
Session Affinity:         None
External Traffic Policy:  Cluster
Events:
  Type    Reason        Age    From                Message
  ----    ------        ----   ----                -------
  Normal  IPAllocated   5m55s  metallb-controller  Assigned IP "192.168.2.129"
  Normal  nodeAssigned  5m55s  metallb-speaker     announcing from node "gooseberry"
```

In the output from the `kubectl describe` command, note the events at the bottom, where MetalLB has assigned an IP address (yours will vary) and is "announcing" the assignment from one of the nodes in your cluster (again, yours will vary). It also describes the port, the external port you can access the service from (80), the target port inside the container (port 8080), and a node port through which the traffic will route (31491). The end result is that the Nginx server running in the pods of the `kube-verify` service is accessible from the load-balanced IP, on port 80, from anywhere on your home network.

For example, on my network, the service was exposed on `http://192.168.2.129:80`, and I can `curl` that IP from my laptop on the same network:

```
# Verify that you receive a response from Nginx on the load-balanced IP
$ curl 192.168.2.129
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"\>][13]

<html xmlns="<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Test Page for the HTTP Server on Fedora</title>
(further output omitted)
```

### MetalLB FTW

MetalLB is a great load balancer for a home Kubernetes cluster. It allows you to assign real IPs from your home network to services running in your cluster and access them from other hosts on your home network. These services can even be exposed outside the network by port-forwarding traffic through your home router (but please be careful with this!). MetalLB easily replicates cloud-provider-like behavior at home on bare-metal computers, Raspberry Pi-based clusters, and even virtual machines, making it easy to "lift-and-shift" workloads to the cloud or just familiarize yourself with how they work. Best of all, MetalLB is easy and convenient and makes accessing the services running in your cluster a breeze.

Have you used MetalLB, or do you use another load-balancer solution? Are you primarily using Nginx or HAProxy Ingress? Let me know in the comments!

Trash to Treasure: Yard Sale Pinata to Fun Home Decor!
Pinatas are not just for parties anymore! Learn how to transform a simple pinata into an adorable piece of wall art with this tutorial!
Measure across the pinata, then size the phrase and circle to fit and cut using your Cricut.
Doodle around the outer edge of the circle. If you – like me – do not have a steady hand, go around the circle several times with the pen. It looks like you meant the lines to be "artsy"!
Run the circle and the phrase through your Xyron. I used the Creatopia because of the size of the project – it was a limited edition machine that does 12″ across. If you ever see one for sale – GET IT! They still make refills for it but the machines are not available at retail. The size is PERFECT for large projects or doing multiple projects at once.
Adhere circle to the BACK of the pinata (the stickers on the front were too big and I couldn't get them off without ruining the surface), then add the phrase and your embellishments.
Hang that baby and enjoy the sunshine!

Peter Sandström: Transparente blanche

Helsinki: Schildts & Söderströms, 2014
Peter Sandström debuted in 1998. His sixth book, the novel Transparente blanche [White transparent: apple variety], is about a middle-aged man who returns to the place of his upbringing and his elderly mother to help her with a strange task she has been given. He is confronted with memories of crucial experiences of his youth – the early death of his father, and his first love – experiences which, the reader understands, guided his life and made him the alienated person he is. The novel also depicts in an unusually sensitive and penetrating way the relationship between a grown man and his mother. However, plot is never the focus of Sandström's books. His interest lies in using a specific environment and precise and poetic language to depict the vaguest of existential experiences: transience, mortality, changes in the perception of one's body and in things, the unreliability of memories, the enigma of other people, all that it means to be human, impermanent and thrown into the stream of time.

Journey to the first palm tree
16 October 2014 | Fiction, Prose
Teemu is a fat, desperate middle-aged man who's had it with life – he drives his old Lada to Spain, where he intends to commit suicide by letting himself be trampled to death by bulls in the Pamplona bullrun. (However, there is a chance of this tragedy being cancelled, thanks to a tenacious hitch-hiker, female.) An extract from the novel Särkyvää ('Fragile', Tammi, 2014)
When I was seventeen, I yearned to leave behind the small town where I grew up. I heard the owl hooting in the forest: go to Europe.
I heard the dirt-track gravel crunching beneath my shoes: run, lad, run.
The birch in the yard rustled and whispered: if you spend one more summer hanging around the garden of your childhood, you'll stay here forever.
A frog in the ditch gave a stern croak: look at your father; if you don't escape you'll end up an old codger just like him.
Even the smoke twirling up from the sauna chimney spoke to me in billows: I'll show you the right direction, head south, and don't stop until you see the first camel. More…

Two men in a boat
25 June 2014 | Fiction, Prose
The meaning of life, Bob Dylan, the broken thermostat of the Earth, the authors Ambrose Bierce and Aleksis Kivi…. Two severely culturally-inclined men set out to row a boat some 700 kilometres along the Finnish coastline, and there is no shortage of things to discuss. Extracts from the novel Nyljetyt ajatukset ('Fleeced thoughts', Teos, 2014)
The red sphere of the sun plopped into the sea.
At 23.09 official summertime Köpi announced the reading from his wind-up pocket-watch.
'There she goes,' commented Aimo, gazing at the sunken red of the horizon, 'but don't you think it'll pop back up again in another quarter of an hour, unless something absolutely amazing and new happens in the universe and the solar system tonight!'
Aimo pulled long, accelerating sweeps with his oars, slurped the phlegm in his throat, spat a gob overboard, smacked his lips and adjusted his tongue on its marks behind his teeth. There's a respectable amount of talk about to come out of there, thought Köpi about his old friend's gestures, and he was right.
'Sure thing,' was Aimo's opening move, 'darkness. Darkness, that's the thing. I want to talk about it and on its behalf just now, now in particular, while we're rowing on the shimmering sea at the lightest point of the summer. More…
Favour and fame: becoming a best-seller
10 April 2014 | In the news
At the top of the list of best-selling books – compiled by the Finnish Booksellers' Association – in March was the first novel by Tommi Kinnunen, a teacher of Finnish language and literature from Turku. In Neljäntienristeys ('The crossing of four roads', WSOY) the narrative spans a century beginning in the late 19th century and is set mainly in Northern Finland, focusing on the lives of four people related to each other. Undoubtedly well-written, it continues the popular tradition of realistic novels set in the 20th-century Finland.
Finland is a small country with one exceptionally large newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat (read by more than 800,000 people daily). The annual literary prize that carries the paper's name is awarded to a best first work, and candidates are assessed throughout the year.
In February the paper's literary critic Antti Majander declared in his review of Kinnunen's book: 'Such weighty and sure-footed prose debuts appear seldom. If I were to say a couple of times in a decade, I would probably be being over-enthusiastic. But let it be. Critics' measuring sticks are destined for the bonfire.' More…

Arne Nevanlinna: Heta
14 March 2014 | Mini reviews, Reviews
Helsinki: WSOY, 2014. 276 pp.
ISBN 978-951-0-40174-3
€34, hardback
The architect and writer Arne Nevanlinna (born 1925) published his first novel, Marie,in 2008; it became one of the six finalists for the Finlandia Prize of Fiction. His fourth novel, Heta, is set in Helsinki in the late 20th century. It depicts the Swedish-speaking Celerius family: Gustava's seven children – three have died – and their spouses come to celebrate her 70th birthday. Noblesse oblige – the general's widow is not wealthy, but Gustava has to keep up appearances, so she has four servants. One of them is the bright orphan girl Heta, too often called Clubfoot, because her left leg is shorter than the right, and who, to her surprise, finds out she can read people's minds. When Gustava dies unexpectedly, poor Heta becomes a murder suspect. The plot takes surprising turns, and the epilogue, in which Heta herself is the narrator, presents the reader with even more revelations; love, it turns out, does conquer all. Nevanlinna's depictions of the milieu and the era are colourful, and his narrative is laced with plenty of satirical comedy.

To what extent does a 'historical novel' have to lean on facts to become best-sellers? Two new novels from 2013 examined
When Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's largest newspaper, asked its readers and critics in 2013 to list the ten best novels of the 2000s, the result was a surprisingly unanimous victory for the historical novel.
Both groups listed as their top choices – in the very same order – the following books: Sofi Oksanen: Puhdistus (English translation Purge; WSOY, 2008), Ulla-Lena Lundberg: Is (Finnish translation Jää, 'Ice', Schildts & Söderströms, 2012) and Kjell Westö: Där vi en gång gått (Finnish translation Missä kuljimme kerran; 'Where we once walked', Söderströms, 2006).
What kind of historical novel wins over a large readership today, and conversely, why don't all of the many well-received novels set in the past become bestsellers? More…

Terminaali
[Terminal]
Helsinki: Siltala, 2013, 454 pp.
ISBN978-952-234-174-7
€32.90, hardback
The airport is a fertile environment for a contemporary novel: a crucible of chance encounters. In his sixth, extensive novel, Hannu Raittila (born 1956) masterfully combines plot and structure: there is adventure, personal relationships, hard living, a love affair, life on a remote Swedish-speaking island. Commodore Lampen sets out to look for his daughter Paula, who has been forcibly brought back to Finland after spending years touring foreign airports. Back in the 1990s Paula and her friend Sara spent a lot of time at Helsinki airport, which developed its own culture of international encounters; this then took them abroad – by accident, on 11 September 2001. Various adventures ensued, including an involvement with the Syrian civil war. Globalisation is based on the free mobility of goods and people, but it also means crumbling of societal structures, and in Raittila's novel – paradoxically enough – the growing rarity of human encounter.
The books that sold in December
9 January 2014 | In the news
It seems that the Finlandia Prize does, as intended, have a strong influence in book sales. In December, a novel about the Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva by Riikka Pelo, Jokapäiväinen elämämme ('Our everyday life'), which won the fiction prize in December, reached number one on the list of best-selling Finnish fiction.
The next four books on the list – compiled by the Finnish Booksellers' Association – were the latest thriller by Ilkka Remes, Omertan liitto ('The Omerta union'), a novel Me, keisarinna ('We, the tsarina'), about the Russian empress Catherine the Great by Laila Hirvisaari, a novel, Hägring 38 ('Mirage 38'), by Kjell Westö, and a novel, Kunkku ('The king'), by Tuomas Kyrö.
The winner of the Finlandia Prize for Non-Fiction, Murtuneet mielet ('Broken minds'), about the mentally crippled Finnish soldiers in the Second World War, also did well: it was number two on the non-fiction list. (Number one was a book about a Finnish actor and television presenter, Ville Haapasalo, who trained at the theatre academy in St Petersburg and became a film star in Russia.)
The ten best-selling books for children and young people were all Finnish (and written in Finnish): it seems that this time the buyers of Christmas presents favoured books written by Finnish authors.
Tuomas Kyrö: Kunkku [The king]

Kunkku
[The king]
Helsinki: Siltala 2013. 549 pp.
This novel is a satirical alternative history of successful Finland and self-destructive Sweden. It is also the story of the king of Finland – the protagonist, Kalle XIV Penttinen, is driven by his instincts, which causes him to fail as a family man. Pena, as he is called, would like to play tennis all day long and watch pole dancing at night. Finland is a fantastic wonderland of film and music industry, tennis, space technology and innovative legal usage, whereas Sweden, ravaged by war, suffers from the trauma that passes from one generation to the next. Estonia has done well for a long time, and the Soviet Union (sic) is a stronghold of democracy. Chuckling, Kyrö turns history upside down. As a writer of short prose and tragicomic novels he is currently a very popular author. However, this time his typically witty associations and inventive comedy suffer from the sheer size of this novel.

Galtbystä länteen
[West from Galtby]
Helsinki: Teos, 2013. 339 p.
Leena Parkkinen's first novel, Sinun jälkeesi, Max ('After you, Max') was awarded the Helsingin Sanomat literature prize for best first work of 2009. Her new novel contains crime story ingredients, but the focus is on love between siblings, loss and the demand for truth. The story begins in 1947, after the war, on an island in the south-western Finnish archipelago. Sebastian, brother of Karen, has returned from the front; it's time to mend the best clothes and dancing shoes. But to the horror of the island community, the body of a young girl is found on the shore, and Sebastian gets the blame. Sixty-five years later her brother's fate has not left Karen alone, and she sets out to find the truth. Capable of handling different times, Parkkinen (born 1979) is also a skilful interpreter of conflicting sentiments, as unexpected twists develop towards the end.

Johanna Sinisalo's new novel Auringon ydin ('The core of the sun', Teos, 2013), invites readers to take part in a thought experiment: What if a few minor details in the course of history had set things on a different track?
If Finnish society were built on the same principle of sisu, or inner grit, as it is now but with an emphasis on slightly different aspects, Finland in 2017 might be a 'eusistocracy'. This term comes from the ancient Greek and Latin roots eu (meaning 'good') and sistere ('stop, stand'), and it means an extreme welfare state.
In the alternative Finland portrayed in Auringon ydin, individual freedoms have been drastically restricted in the name of the public good. Restrictions have been placed on dangerous foreign influences: no internet, no mobile phones. All mood-enhancing substances such as alcohol and nicotine have been eradicated. Only one such substance remains in the authorities' sights: chilli, which continues to make it over the border on occasion. More…

Extracts from the novel Auringon ydin ('The core of the sun', Teos, 2013). Introduction by Outi Järvinen
Jare, March 2017
'We call the chilli the Inner Fire that we try to tame, just as our forefathers tamed the Worldly Fire before it.'
Mirko pauses dramatically, and Valtteri interrupts. 'Eusistocratic Finland offers us unique opportunities for experimentation and development. Once all those intoxicants affecting our neurochemistry and the nervous system have been eradicated from society, we will be able to conduct our experiments from a perfectly clean slate.'
'We fully understand the need to ban alcohol and tobacco. These substances have had significant negative societal impact. And though in hedonistic societies it is claimed that drinks such as red wine can, in small amounts, promote better health, there is always the risk of slipping towards excessive use. All substances that cause states of restlessness and a loss of control over the body have been understandably outlawed, because they can cause harm not only to abusers themselves but also to innocent bystanders,' Mirko continues.
This is nothing new to me, but I must admit that the criminalisation of chillies has always been a mystery to me. By all accounts it is extremely healthy and contains all necessary vitamins and antioxidants. A dealer that I met once told me that people in foreign countries think eating chillies can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels – and even prevent cancer. If someone makes a pot of tom yam soup, sweats and pants over it and enjoys the rush it gives him, how is that a threat, either to society or to our health? More…

Taivaslaulu
[Heaven song]
Helsinki: Gummerus, 2013. 281 pp.
€29.90, harcback
A religious revivalist movement is the framework for this skilfully written first novel. A young couple, Vilja and Aleksi, dream of a brood of children. Nine years and four children later Vilja feels that all joy and strength has drained away from her life. Living the reality of their religion's ban on family planning, the couple is hit hard by the fact that Vilja is expecting twins. This is too much for her; she feels crushed by anxiety and fatigue. The ethical ground of parenthood, the good and bad sides of a religious community as well as the myths and expectations surrounding motherhood are Rauhala's main themes. This impressive tale also contains a love story; Aleksi is a credible and sympathetic husband who first and foremost wants to believe in his wife and his family.
The Finlandia Prize for Fiction 2013

The director general of the Helsinki City Theatre, Asko Sarkola, announced the winner of the 30th Finlandia Literature Prize for Fiction, chosen from a shortlist of six novels, on 2 December in Helsinki. The prize, worth €30,000, was awarded to Riikka Pelo for her novel Jokapäiväinen elämämme ('Our everyday life', Teos).
In his award speech Sarkola – and actor by training – characterised the six novels as 'six different roles':
'They are united by a bold and deep understanding of individuality and humanity against the surrounding period. They are the perspectives of fictive individuals, new interpretations of the reality we imagine or suppose. Viewfinders on the present, warnings of the future.
'Riikka Pelo's Jokapäiväinen elämämme is wound around two periods and places, Czechoslovakia in 1923 and the Soviet Union in 1939–41. The central characters are the poet Marina Tsvetaeva and her daughter Alya. This novel has the widest scope: from stream of consciousness to interrogations in torture chambers and the labour camps of Vorkuta; always moving, heart-stopping, irrespective of the settings.'
The five other novels were Ystäväni Rasputin ('My friend Rasputin') by JP Koskinen, Hotel Sapiens (Teos) by Leena Krohn, Terminaali ('The terminal', Siltala) by Hannu Raittila, Herodes ('Herod', WSOY) by Asko Sahlberg and Hägring 38 ('Mirage 38', Schildts & Söderströms; Finnish translation, Kangastus, Otava) by Kjell Westö (see In the news for brief features).
JP Koskinen: Ystäväni Rasputin [My friend Rasputin]
5 December 2013 | Mini reviews, Reviews
Ystäväni Rasputin
[My friend Rasputin]
Prophet, healer, mystic – and political player and lecher. The hectic life of the Russian Rasputin, which ended in 1916 in assassination, offers excellent material for JP Koskinen's novel. The fictive narrator is the young Vasili, who Rasputin hopes will be a follower. The mix of fear and adulation and wild events, described from the point of view of the young boy, are persuasive. At the court of Tsar Nicholas II Rasputin gained favour because the Tsarina trusted almost blindly in his healing abilities: the imperial family's son Alexei was a haemophiliac. JP Koskinen's earlier works include science fiction. Ystäväni Rasputin is a skilful writer's description of historial events on the eve of the Russian revolution; it paints an interesting and intense portait of the atmosphere and events of the St Petersburg court. Koskinen does not over-explain; interpretation is left to the reader. The novel was on the Finlandia Prize shortlist.

Although the term "benthic invertebrates" is not a familiar one to many people, it represents a life form that is extremely important to fish as a food source. The measurement of benthic invertebrates in aquatic systems is also an important element of the Fish Habitat management System.
One might define benthic invertebrates as "bugs" but that would not be strictly correct. It is more accurate to say that benthic invertebrates are the larvae (most of which live in water, often at the bottom of streams) of insects that live on land in the adult stages of life.
The adult insects lay their eggs in aquatic environments. They are capable of rapid re-colonization after a disturbance that affects their aquatic environment, such as drying up of the water body or a flood.
Why are Benthic Invertebrates important to the Fish Habitat Management System?
The System must safeguard the health of aquatic systems and the quality of water, both of which support fish.
The insect larvae are sensitive to water quality.
The larvae and their adult forms are the key source of food for juvenile salmon as well as adult and juvenile freshwater fish.
The diversity (number of species), abundance (number within each species) and composition of benthic invertebrate populations are relatively constant between areas and seasons, which makes them a good indicator species.
Water quality is high when there are a higher number of species groups which are environmentally-sensitive and important fish food sources.


But, for Paste the KiCad Guide says to export/Plot for F.Mask? Which generates a file with a different extension. Though renaming it to .GTP seems to work, but exporting F.Paste exports a .GTP but pads looks smaller.
Is there a reason for exporting F.Mask and not F.Paste?
Otherwise all works great. Programming the Attiny85 20SU's before putting on the boards are a nightmare but thats for another forum.
From my knowledge both F.Mask and F.Paste should work equally well (though @jazozaya might have some more insight on this one).
It would appear that our Kicad guide is actually wrong. The correct layer that you need to export for solder paste dispensing is F.Paste, not the F.Mask. We'll look into updating the guide.
F.Mask will be the solder mask layer, this is the part of the circuit where you want to peel back the solder mask to expose pads so you can solder to the copper. This will include all surface mount pads, but it will also include through hole pads and vias.
The F.Paste layer is meant for manufacturing stencils. It will only include surface mount pads and exclude through holes and vias. However, the pads will normally be slightly undersized to reduce the amount of paste being reflowed. Too much solder paste can lead to bridging or tombstoning of components.
As an example, here is a snippet of a USB connector and some components and traces in Eagle.
I have exported the GTP and GTS layers below and compared them. Notice that the GTS layer includes the vias and through holes, but the GTP file only includes undersized surface mount pads.
Both of these files will be written in the Gerber format, so the V-One software will be able to print both files fine. That's why you are able to change the extension and print with no problems.

Alumni Spotlight: Dr. Alvin H. Crawford
Dr. Alvin H. Crawford has been giving to NMF quietly for over 20 years—at NMF, we recently met with him in person at our New York office. He was gracious enough to share his story with us, and we are now able to take pride in his numerous successes, as we were able to contribute to them so many years ago.
In 1962, Alvin H. Crawford, then 22 years old, left Meharry Medical College to attend the University of Tennessee College of Medicine—going from a historically black college to a racially segregated university. This was a first: before Crawford applied, it was said that there were no minority candidates "qualified" to meet the standards of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. Dr. Crawford's mother, a nurse, was contacted by the President of the NAACP Memphis Branch, who was a physician, to get permission to use his MCAT scores to submit an application. Dr. Crawford had the grades to qualify—and he was admitted, although not allowed to transfer because Meharry Medical College was not considered to be an accredited medical school.
Growing up with the determination and confidence of a musician, with a knack for science and math, Dr. Crawford was fortunate to have supportive family and teachers as a backbone for his early success. He felt encouraged even in the 6th grade, surrounded by those who reinforced his academic excellence. He made a decision to not fall victim to social or racial barriers—something students still struggle with today.
(Crawford, age 6.)
I'd like for a child in the 6th grade to know what is possible if they have a desire to help others, and helping others can mean many things – that child should grow up under whatever conditions (will help him or her do that)
In addition to having a distinguished medical career, Dr. Crawford has made it his mission to mentor future healthcare leaders. He never wants any student to feel defeated by their circumstances, or as if their dreams and goals are invalid. Having won numerous awards recognizing his commitment and excellence in orthopaedic surgery, he has also been awarded for his commitment to mentoring. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons presented Dr. Crawford with the Diversity Award: an award commemorating his accomplishments in mentoring over 50 diverse scholars after receiving his doctorate degree.
Dr. Crawford has authored 67 chapters, 7 books, and over 200 articles over the course of his career. As one of the most renowned pediatric orthopaedic surgeons in the world, he has given lectures at over 80 national and international institutions He continues to practice medicine at three hospitals in the Cincinnati area. For 29 years, Dr. Crawford was the Director of Orthopaedic Surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where he founded the Crawford Spine Center. He also serves on the Board of Directors for various nonprofits in the Cincinnati area, including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He plays the clarinet and is currently enrolled in the preparatory class at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music; and he performs at various events around the state.
Dr. Crawford has been a generous donor to NMF over many years. His commitment is based in family values: "My mother made me aware of my obligation to give back. I had very strong family values, and have no choice but to succeed in giving back and helping people. I started giving back to NMF early on in my career, and plan to continue."

In the 1883 Iowa State Senate elections Iowa voters elected state senators to serve in the twentieth Iowa General Assembly. Elections were held in 29 of the state senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate.

The general election took place on October 9, 1883.

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 45 seats to Democrats' two seats, two Greenbackers, and one Independent.

To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 24 Senate seats.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1883 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 39 seats and Democrats having 11 seats (a net gain of 9 seats for Democrats).

Access to Documents for Cartel Victims and Cartel Members – is the System Coherent?

In this paper we analyse the right to access documents for cartel victims and cartel members. We start with an analysis of the case law from the European Court of Justice and the General Court. The effects of the new Private Enforcement Directive will thereafter be scrutinized. These two sub-chapters are divided so that we analyse the requestors: (i) individuals or (ii) national courts, and the recipients of these requests: (iii) potential or real defendants, (iv) national competition authorities, or (v) the European Commission, separately. Different legal systems are triggered depending on who makes a request and who is the receiver of such a request, and the potential success of obtaining the documents varies considerably. Thereafter, we discuss the rights to the defence and access to documents while being subject to a cartel investigation by the Commission. Our finding is that different legal systems are triggered depending on who makes a request and who is the receiver of such a request, and the potential success of obtaining the documents varies considerably. In fact, the system is not coherent.
We conclude with some suggestions for the Member States on how to transpose the Directive so as to maximize private actions through granting access to documents without thereby dismantling the leniency programmes.

The official groundbreaking for the Trunk Highway (TH) 53 Bridge and Relocation Project occurred last week at the project site in Virginia, Minnesota. The bridge, which is the main element of the project, will span the Rouchleau Iron Ore Mine Pit. The project is scheduled to be completed in a brisk two years in order to allow for mining where a section of TH 53 is currently located. Upon completion the 1,100-foot long bridge will be Minnesota's highest, with the roadway sitting approximately 330 feet above the bottom of the floor of the Rouchleau Pit. Kiewit was selected as the general contractor for the project with Veit Specialty Contracting as the foundation contractor.
Foundation construction will start in late November or early December with the installation of 30-inch diameter micropile foundations for the western pier of the three span, steel plate girder bridge. Although the foundation work is just about to get started, DBA has been hard at work on the project for over a year. DBA first got involved as a consultant to MnDOT for the design-phase load test program conducted last fall. Since then, DBA was contracted as the geotechnical engineer of record for the project. Working with bridge designer Parsons, DBA designed the bridge foundations, an anchored abutment, and rockfall hazard mitigation systems for this geologically challenging site. DBA has also analyzed several soil and rock slopes to verify stability of the bridge and roadway.
Most recently, some of us were on site to inspect some of the rockfall protection elements on the east side of the mine pit. Last week we spent two days climbing and repelling a on a portion of the eastern highwall, which is currently covered in rockfall protection drapery. The drapery was installed for the protection of workers excavating rock for the eastern bridge pier. The drapery was installed by Pacific Blasting in association with Hoover Construction. Some pictures from our drapery inspection visit are below.

John and Paul provide some scale to this picture as they work their way down the drapery.

LSD ADDICTION
LSD ADDICTIONJess Williams2020-12-08T15:14:51-04:00
LSD Addiction Fast Facts
LSD is in a category of drugs known as classic hallucinogens. This category also includes psilocybin, mescaline, and DMT. An estimated 20.2 million Americans have used LSD at some point in their lifetime.
Approximately 740,000 young people between the ages of 12 and 17 have used LSD. About 4.5 million people between the ages of 18 and 25 have used the drug.
A 2014 survey found that 3.7% of American 12th graders, 2.6% of 10th graders, and 1.1% of 8th graders had used LSD at least once.
LSD is not considered to be addictive, but it is possible to develop a tolerance for the drug. It is also possible to develop an unhealthy pattern of use that is clinically diagnosable.
LSD is in a category of drugs known as classic hallucinogens. This category also includes psilocybin, mescaline, and DMT.
What is LSD Addiction?
LSD is the common name for a synthetic chemical called D-lysergic acid diethylamide. It is derived from a fungus that grows on grains. LSD is usually sold in the form of a colorless liquid. Drops of the liquid are commonly put onto blotter paper which is placed on the tongue, where the LSD liquid can be absorbed and swallowed.
Effects of LSD Use
LSD is categorized as a hallucinogenic drug, and it is also called a psychedelic drug. This class of drugs generally alters the sensory and mental perceptions of the user, although the effects of a particular drug vary widely from individual to individual and from use to use.
Common short-term effects of LSD include:
Changes in sensory perception, and sometimes sensory enhancement
Changes in the perception of time
Synesthesia (a condition in which stimuli are perceived by more than one sense, e.g. "hearing" colors)
Hallucinations (seeing imagined objects, or seeing real objects behaving in imagined ways)
Excited or euphoric mood
Feelings of deep insight or understanding
The mind-altering effects of LSD have been studied for possible therapeutic uses, but the drug has been made illegal by the United States' Controlled Substances Act. No legitimate medical use of LSD is officially recognized.
What Causes LSD Addiction?
LSD is not considered to be an addictive drug. Users do not develop a physical dependence on LSD the same way that they do on stimulants such as cocaine or opioids such as heroin. Abstinence from LSD does not seem to cause withdrawal symptoms, even after prolonged use.
However, regular users of LSD are likely to develop a tolerance for the drug. In time, sensitivity to the drug decreases, and users need higher and higher doses to produce the expected psychedelic effects. Tolerance can lead to abusive behavior.
Is LSD Addiction Hereditary?
The use of LSD, as is the case with most drugs, is generally more a product of environmental factors than it is the consequence of inherited tendencies. However, researchers have identified a link between an individual's genes and the risk of addiction and substance abuse. Individuals with a family history of addiction are more likely to develop a substance addiction themselves.
LSD seems to be among those drugs with the least risk of inherited abusive behavior. Hallucinogen abuse, in general, seems to have a heritability rate only about half that of the riskiest drugs, which include opioids and cocaine.
How Is LSD Addiction Detected?
Along with the mind-altering effects experienced by the user, LSD also produces physical effects, some of which can be observed externally.
These signs of LSD use can include:
Tingling in the fingers or toes
Excessive sweating or chills
Anxiety or paranoia
Lack of mental focus or physical coordination
The effects of LSD can last for as long as 12 hours, and during that time the user may be uninterested in eating, sleeping, or performing ordinary tasks. Thanks to the mind-altering character of the experience, the user may be unconcerned with hiding the drug's effect, making their LSD use easy to spot.
How Is LSD Addiction Diagnosed?
LSD rarely, if ever, produces the symptoms of dependence, withdrawal, and abuse that, in the case of other drugs, can lead to a diagnosis of addiction. However, abusive patterns of behavior are possible even with LSD. When those patterns are present, a clinical mental-health disorder called "hallucinogen use disorder" can be diagnosed.
To qualify for a diagnosis, LSD use must cause significant impairment or distress, and at least two of the following symptoms must be present over a 12-month period:
LSD use is greater than the user intends, either in dosage or frequency.
The user has a desire to quit or has unsuccessfully tried to quit using LSD.
The user spends significant time acquiring, using, or recovering from the effects of LSD use.
The user has a strong craving for LSD.
LSD use is interfering with the user's obligations or responsibilities.
LSD use continues despite the harm it does to the user, physically or otherwise.
LSD use interferes with the user's normal activities and routines.
LSD is used in dangerous situations.
Tolerance for the drug develops, creating the need for higher doses or more frequent use to achieve the same effect.
Abstinence from the drug causes withdrawal symptoms.
How Is LSD Addiction Treated?
In cases where LSD use crosses the boundary to diagnosable substance abuse–or when the LSD use occurs in conjunction with the abuse of other substances–the patient may be referred to a treatment program, either on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
There are no medication-based treatments for LSD abuse, but medications may be prescribed for any underlying mental or physical health issues identified during treatment.
Psychotherapy, group therapy, and support group meetings are typically used to treat substance abuse.
Detoxification. Treatment centers will often require that users undergo a detox period to remove any lingering remnants of the drug from their bodies. This is especially true if the patient is admitted to a treatment center on an emergency basis during active drug use.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This type of psychotherapy helps drug users to recognize the triggers that prompt their drug use. The therapy also focuses on developing strategies and techniques for dealing with those triggers when they occur. CBT can be effective at preventing relapses once the patient has begun to abstain from drug use.
How Does LSD Addiction Progress?
The effects of LSD are often pleasant for the user, but sometimes the drug can produce a "bad trip" that can cause significant distress. The effects of the drug are also less predictable than those of many other drugs; a bad trip can happen even after a user's previous positive experiences with the drug.
Other short-term negative effects of LSD use can include:
High blood pressure and rapid heart rate
Panic or anxiety
Psychosis (thought processes that are disconnected from reality)
The mind-altering effects of LSD also impair the user's judgment, sometimes leading to risky behavior. The user may, for example, enter into physically dangerous situations or engage in risky sexual behavior.
Rare but serious long-term effects of LSD include two conditions sometimes experienced by long-time users (although even first-time users can be affected in rare cases):
Persistent psychosis. This condition is characterized by changes in mood, dysfunctional thought processes, and sensory problems that continue even after use of the drug is discontinued.
Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPDD). In this disorder, the patient experiences characteristics of the LSD experience–hallucinations, unusual sensory phenomena, etc.–as long as a year or more after using the drug.
How Is LSD Addiction Prevented?
Education is the best way to prevent the abuse of LSD and other drugs. Drug abuse prevention programs should be targeted at at-risk groups and clearly lay out the dangers of LSD abuse, including:
The potential for risky behavior while under the influence of LSD
The unpredictable nature of LSD's effects
The potential for abuse driven by developing a tolerance for the drug
The possibility of harm (or death) from tainted drugs
LSD Addiction Caregiver Tips
Educate your children. Because LSD is not addictive like other drugs and doesn't present the same dangers of overdose and withdrawal, young people often think that it poses little risk of harm. However, even a positive LSD experience can have a profoundly overwhelming effect on the user, a situation that children are ill-equipped to handle. Using LSD in the wrong way, in the wrong place, at the wrong time can be dangerous, and young people should be made well aware of the risks.
Don't focus only on the LSD. Substance abuse is very often a sign of underlying problems in relationships, in life circumstances, or in mental health. If your loved one is abusing LSD or any other substance, encourage them to seek help for the problems that are driving them to escape via their drug use.
LSD Addiction Brain Science
The biochemical process through which LSD changes brain function is not yet fully understood. However, research has begun to offer clues to what's going on in the brains of LSD users. In a recent study, researchers used imaging technology to get a look at brain activity in subjects who were under the influence of the drug, and the results suggested areas that are ripe for further study.
Scientists had previously suspected that a brain chemical called serotonin, which helps brain nerve cells communicate with one another, was involved in the LSD experience. The imaging study had some subjects take only LSD, while other subjects took both LSD and a drug that blocks the effects of serotonin. Those who took the serotonin-blocking drug did not experience the same effects as those who took LSD alone, a result that seems to confirm the hypothesis that serotonin is key to the LSD experience.
In the brains of subjects who took LSD, the drug seemed to disrupt the function of the thalamus, a part of the brain that controls information flow to other parts. This disruption allowed more information to flow to the part of the brain that controls sensory perception and limited the flow of information to the part that controls cognitive thought processes. This unusual pattern of brain activity may begin to explain the strange effects that LSD has on the user's perception.
LSD Addiction Research
Scientists are working on several research projects to expand on what is known about LSD Addiction. The research will improve knowledge about the factors that increase the risk for LSD Addiction, as well as the causes, and best treatments, and will aid people living with LSD Addiction and their caregivers.
We are currently gathering the information required to support projects such as Psychedelics and Wellness Study (PAWS), and Psilocybin for Depression in People With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Early Alzheimer's Disease, and A Study of Psilocybin for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

According to O'Rorke, the Parkes received land under the Cromwellian settlement and established themselves in Sligo from that time. Captain Roger Parke built Newtown, now known as Parke's Castle, on the shores of Lough Gill. The family held land in many parts of county Sligo, including the baronies of Tireragh, Tirerrill and Carbury as well as in County Leitrim. Roger Parke was the lessor of several townlands in the parish of Killasnet, barony of Rosclogher in 1856. He is recorded as the owner of over 2100 acres in county Leitrim in the 1870s. In 1853 the estate of John Parke of Castlecar, county Leitrim was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court. The Freeman's Journal reported that it was purchased by Jacob Powell, in trust, for over £3000. In the 1870s both Roger and Johnston Parke were the proprietors of over 700 acres each in county Sligo. They had a UK residence in the 19th century at Chiselhampton, Wallingford. In 1906 Roger K. Parke is recorded as the occupier of property at Doonally townland, barony of Carbury, including a mansion house. The Congested Districts Board later acquired over 500 acres of Benjamin Parke's estate.
