The process of buying your own house begins with the decision to buy a suitable property – this is the easy part. The tough part is what comes later – applying for a housing loan and getting the loan process underway with minimum hassle.
When the real estate developer is a reputed entity in Thane micro market, getting the home loan becomes quite easy. Developers like Puranik Builders have project approvals from major housing finance players such as ICICI Bank and HDFC Ltd. Thus, the loan process is much shorter and quite hassle-free, provided you apply with the correct documents and have a stable source of income.
But before proceeding with the loan application, it is important to assess your finances and find out how much will your monthly outgo be. For this, you can use an online home loan EMI calculator that lets you find out how much EMI you will pay every month against your desired loan amount. You can calculate the home loan EMI basis the loan amount you wish to get, the tenure of the loan (in terms of months) and the rate of interest.
Using the EMI calculator for the home loan helps you assess your finances better. If you feel that the monthly outlay is too high, you can ask for a lower loan amount or negotiate the interest payable on it. You can seek a longer tenure, so that the EMI spread is lowered uniformly. Do note that you cannot get the entire house price as a loan – you will get at best 80% of the house's value as a loan. The remainder must be paid from your own resources.
Do check the loan documents requirement to get your paperwork in order before you make the loan application.
For most of us, purchasing a house is a once in a lifetime investment that we have to get perfect the first time around. The primary reason for this is the fact that property investments are substantial and made with a long-term perspective in mind. Finding your dream property and getting your home loan sanctioned are two of the many steps that need to be considered during a home buying process. However, as they say, knowledge is power, and knowing the future gives one the ability to change it. This statement couldn't be more accurate when it comes to home loans. Understanding the eligibility for credit, its tenure, and EMI can do you a world of good, and save you from a whole lot of trouble.
The Equated Monthly Instalment or EMI is the fixed repayment amount that you would need to pay every month as agreed at the time of your loan being approved. So, you should know exactly how much you would be paying over the next 20 years or so to avoid any financial stress in the years to come. At such times, a home loan EMI calculator can be of great help and will assist you in finding out the right EMI amount you can afford to pay.
- Helps you plan finances: Using a home loan calculator can help you decide the amount of EMI you can comfortably pay monthly without breaking your bank account.
- Aids in obtaining loan approvals: Knowing your EMI amount will also tell you the loan amount you can afford. Thus, when applying for a loan by filling in the right amount, the chances of your loan getting approved is higher.
Real Estate developers like Puranik Builders have projects approvals from major housing finance players such as HDFC Ltd and ICICI Bank. Hence, the home loan process is much shorter and hassle-free, provided that the documents submitted have a steady source of income. With the help of the home loan EMI calculator by Puranik Builders, you can find out how much EMI you will have to churn out monthly against your coveted amount. Plus, you can also calculate the home loan EMI basis the loan amount you wish to get, the tenure, and the rate of interest. The home loan EMI calculator will help you evaluate your income better, and help you make better choices when it comes to purchasing a home.
- How do I finance my dream home?
Income plays a very important role in the purchase of a home. The essential issues to be considered include the mode of arranging finances and its consequence on taxation. There are two ways you can finance your dream home: one includes using your own funds and the other is taking a bank loan. The interest paid on housing loan can be claimed as deduction. A loan can be taken in two joint names for one house to claim a deduction of Rs.1.5 lakhs each for both the individuals repaying the loan.
- What aspects should be considered when applying for a home loan?
You can either opt for a fixed or floating rate of interest. The fixed rate is generally 50 to 75 basis points higher than the floating rate.
The tenure of the loan should be decided by the buyer after analyzing various things like repayment capacity per month, earning potential over the next few years, other financial commitments like weddings, children's education etc.
Considering the percentage of the cost of apartment that is available as loan is equally vital. Another important factor is financing for the interior house work, furniture etc.
Generally, housing loans are available ranging from 5 to 25 years. Some banks also offer step-up housing loans which charge a lower EMI for the initial years.
- What are the documents required for submission to the bank?
Different banks require different sets of documents for treating a housing loan.
Proof of Income such as salary certificates and form No. 16 for last three years, TDS certificates, and bank statements showing credit entries for salary / professional fees, etc.
Title of the property (like the copy of the property sale deed), title report by a solicitor, valuation report, NOC from the builder/condominium/society, amenities agreement, etc.
Other common documents like proof of age, a copy of your passport, driving license, proof of residence, copy of ration card, and others with signature can also come in handy.


While we did like Jurassic World, one thing that was missing was Alan Grant, played by Sam Neill. And, by the same token, haven't you ever been watching a Marvel movie and thought: "You know what the MCU needs? More Sam Neill…".
Well, the actor has been chatting to The Shortlist (full video below) and revealed a couple of things about both franchises.
Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi helmed Neill's latest movie, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, so the tow are familiar with each other. So feel free to begin speculating who Neill will be in the MCU… our guess is anyone at all because we love the guy!
Well, we're disappointed that he won't be back for dino-hunting but the idea of him in the MCU almost makes up for it.

Q: how to send/receive Objects using sockets in java When I execute my code in the CMD window, it doesn't work in Client mode, exactly at the line:
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());

the program block on this line but don't stop or signal error :
I have 3 classes: Client, Server, Message
ClientClass:
package client;

// Organize imports

public class Client {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException,
            IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        System.out.println("welcome client");
        Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 4444);
        System.out.println("Client connected");
        ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
        System.out.println("Ok");
        Message message = new Message(new Integer(15), new Integer(32));
        os.writeObject(message);
        System.out.println("Envoi des informations au serveur ...");

        ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
        Message returnMessage = (Message) is.readObject();
        System.out.println("return Message is=" + returnMessage);
        socket.close();
    }
}

Server
Here is the code of the Server class
package Sockets;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

public class Server {
    public static final int port = 4444;
    private ServerSocket ss = null;

    public void  runServer() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException{
        ss = new ServerSocket(port);
        System.out.println("le systeme est pret pour accepter les connexions");
        Socket socket = ss.accept();
        ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
        ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());

        Message m = (Message) is.readObject();
        doSomething(m);

        os.writeObject(m);
        socket.close();
    }

    private void doSomething(Message m) {
        m.setResult(new Integer(m.getA().intValue()*m.getB().intValue()));
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException {
        new Server().runServer();
    }
}

Message
And here is my object , I made it Serializable by implementing the interface Serializable
import java.io.Serializable;

public class Message implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -5399605122490343339L;

    private Integer A;
    private Integer B;
    private Integer Result;

    public Message(Integer firstNumber, Integer secondNumber ){
        this.A = firstNumber;
        this.B = secondNumber;
    }

    public Integer getA() {
        return A;
    }

    public Integer getB() {
        return B;
    }

    public void setResult(Integer X)  {
        Result = X;
    }
}

A: You need to create the ObjectOutputStream before the ObjectInputStream, at both ends, for reasons described in the Javadoc concerning the object stream header.

· Software Defined Storage offers limitless scale and a decrease in management complexity.
· Software Defined Storage offers a simplified cost structure that is well suited for large-capacity needs. As the cost per gigabyte continues to shrink, Software Defined Storage becomes increasingly well suited for backup, archive, and cloud operations.
· Software Defined Storage for Object Storage breaks the monolithic storage mold. Object storage combines data, metadata, and unique identification to create objects.
Classic enterprise storage systems are designed to address business-critical requirements in the data center. And they still excel at this task today, but new trends and changing uses cases such as backup, active archive, and file-sync-and-share require new solutions built on new technology. Unstructured data aims to provide massive amounts of storage at extreme scale, particularly in environments where performance is less critical.
IBM Cloud Object Storage (IBM COS) is a software defined storage solution that brings massive scale and easy management to your datacenter. Reduced costs, tremendous scale, security, and enterprise grade reliability and availability is to be expected from this leading edge storage architecture.
Cisco and IBM are synergizing like never before to offer customers a scalable object storage solution for unstructured data that is integrated with IBM Cloud Object Storage. By leveraging the strength of Cisco UCS infrastructure and management, this solution is cost effective to deploy, easy to manage, and built on futureproof technology that will provide customers with the necessary tools for next generation cloud deployments.
Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) include platforms and solutions that are designed, tested, and documented to improve customer deployments. These designs include a wide range of technologies and products into a portfolio of solutions that address the business needs of customers.
For years, traditional storage systems were able to easily service the demands of existing workloads. But in the past decade, much of the information housed on classic storage systems has been moved to an unstructured data architecture. In fact, almost eighty percent of data is currently unstructured today. This creates new opportunities to scale at a rate that entirely matches the consumption demand. Object storage is the most recent approach for managing these tremendous amounts of data.
IBM Cloud Object Storage provides organizations the flexibility, scalability and simplicity required to store, manage and access today's rapidly growing unstructured data in a cloud environment. Our time-tested solutions turn storage challenges into business advantage by reducing storage costs while reliably supporting both traditional and emerging cloud-born workloads for enterprise mobile, social, analytics and cognitive computing. IBM Cloud Object Storage is built on technology from object storage leader Cleversafe, acquired by IBM in 2015.
Scale-out object storage relies on traditional storage-optimized, x86 servers to reduce cost and increase performance. The Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Server is ideal for object storage solutions. It reduces deployment costs and leverages the power of the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS). Management functions and features powered by Cisco UCS are unmatched by traditional unmanaged and agent-based systems. The S3260 Storage Server is ultimately the most flexible platform available that can be optimized for throughput, capacity, or compute intensive workloads.
By combining the massive scale that IBM Cloud Object Storage provides with the cost-effective simplicity of the Cisco S3260 Storage server, this solution delivers an enterprise scale-out storage architecture that is simple, fast, and completely scalable.
This document describes the architecture, design, and deployment procedures of an IBM Cloud Object Storage solution. The solution utilizes six Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Servers each configured with two M4 Server Nodes, as IBM COS Slicestor's. In addition, depending on throughput needs, it leverages between three to eight Cisco UCS C220 M4S rack-mount servers as IBM COS Accesser nodes and a single Cisco UCS C220 M4S rack-mount server as an IBM COS Manager node. All servers are managed by Cisco UCS Manager on two Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnects. The intended audience for this document includes but is not limited to sales engineers, field consultants, professional services, IT managers, partner engineering, and customers who intend to deploy IBM Cloud Object Storage managed by the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) built upon the Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Server.
This CVD describes in detail the process of deploying IBM Cloud Object Storage 3.10 on Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Server.
Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS) is a next-generation data center platform that integrates computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 or 40 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, infrastructure platform where all resources are managed through a single, unified management domain.
Compute - The compute piece of the system incorporates servers based on latest Intel's x86 processors. Servers are available in blade and rack form factors, managed by the same Cisco UCS Manager software.
Network - The integrated network fabric in the system provides low-latency, lossless, 10Gbps or 40Gbps Ethernet fabric. LANs, SANs, and high-performance computing networks which are separate networks today are a consolidated within the fabric. The unified fabric lowers costs by reducing the number of network adapters, switches, and cables, and by decreasing the power and cooling requirements.
Virtualization - The system unleashes the full potential of virtualization by enhancing the scalability, performance, and operational control of virtual environments. Cisco security, policy enforcement, and diagnostic features are now extended into virtualized environments to better support changing business and IT requirements.
Storage access – Cisco UCS system provides consolidated access to both SAN storage and Network Attached Storage over the unified fabric. This provides customers with storage choices and investment protection. Also, the server administrators can pre-assign storage-access policies to storage resources, for simplified storage connectivity and management leading to increased productivity.
Management - The system uniquely integrates all the system components, enabling the entire solution to be managed as a single entity through Cisco UCS Manager software. Cisco UCS Manager provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), a command-line interface (CLI), and a robust application-programming interface (API) to manage all system configuration and operations. Cisco UCS Manager helps in increasing the IT staff productivity, enabling storage, network, and server administrators to collaborate on defining service profiles for applications. Service profiles are logical representations of desired physical configurations and infrastructure policies; they help automate provisioning and increase business agility, allowing data center managers to provision resources in minutes instead of days.
Cisco Unified Computing System has revolutionized the way servers are managed in a data center. This next section takes a detailed look at the unique differentiators in Cisco UCS and Cisco UCS Manager. An overview of the key sub-components leveraged in this architecture are also provided.
· A reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increased business agility.
· A cohesive, integrated system which unifies the technology in the data center.
· Embedded Management — Servers in the system are managed by embedded software in the Fabric Interconnects, eliminating need for any external physical or virtual devices to manage the servers.
· Unified Fabric — There is a single Ethernet cable to the FI from the server chassis (blade or rack) for LAN, SAN and management traffic. This converged I/O results in reduced cables, SFPs and adapters – reducing capital and operational expenses of overall solution.
· Auto Discovery — By simply inserting a blade server in the chassis or connecting a rack server to the FI, discovery and inventory of compute resource occurs automatically without any intervention. Auto-discovery combined with unified fabric enables the wire-once architecture of Cisco UCS, where compute capability of Cisco UCS can be extended easily without additional connections to the external LAN, SAN and management networks.
· Policy Based Resource Classification — Once a compute resource is discovered by Cisco UCS Manager, it can be automatically classified to a resource pool based on policies defined. This capability is useful in multi-tenant cloud computing. This CVD showcases the policy based resource classification of Cisco UCS Manager.
· Combined Rack and Blade Server Management — Cisco UCS Manager can manage Cisco UCS B-series blade servers and Cisco UCS C-series rack servers under the same Cisco UCS domain. Along with stateless computing, this feature makes compute resources truly agnostic to the hardware form factor.
· Loose Referential Integrity — In Cisco UCS Manager, a service profile, port profile or policies can refer to other policies or logical resources with loose referential integrity. A referred policy cannot exist at the time of authoring the referring policy or a referred policy can be deleted even though other policies are referring to it. This provides different subject matter experts from different domains, such as network, storage, security, server and virtualization the flexibility to work independently to accomplish a complex task.
· Policy Resolution — In Cisco UCS Manager, a tree structure of organizational unit hierarchy can be created that mimics the real life tenants and/or organization relationships. Various policies, pools and templates can be defined at different levels of organization hierarchy. A policy referring to another policy by name is resolved in the organization hierarchy with closest policy match. If no policy with specific name is found in the hierarchy of the root organization, then special policy named "default" is searched. This policy resolution logic enables automation friendly management APIs and provides great flexibility to owners of different organizations.
The Cisco UCS® S3260 Storage Server (Figure 1) is a modular, high-density, high-availability dual node rack server well suited for service providers, enterprises, and industry-specific environments. It addresses the need for dense cost effective storage for the ever-growing data needs. Designed for a new class of cloud-scale applications, it is simple to deploy and excellent for big data applications, software-defined storage environments and other unstructured data repositories, media streaming, and content distribution.
Extending the capability of the Cisco UCS C3000 portfolio, the Cisco UCS S3260 helps you achieve the highest levels of data availability. With dual-node capability that is based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 series, it features up to 600 TB of local storage in a compact 4-rack-unit (4RU) form factor. All hard-disk drives can be asymmetrically split between the dual-nodes and are individually hot-swappable. The drives can be built-in in an enterprise-class Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) redundancy or be in a pass-through mode.
This high-density rack server comfortably fits in a standard 32-inch depth rack, such as the Cisco® R42610 Rack.
The Cisco UCS S3260 is deployed as a standalone server in both bare-metal or virtualized environments. Its modular architecture reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by allowing you to upgrade individual components over time and as use cases evolve, without having to replace the entire system.
The Cisco UCS® C220 M4 Rack Server (Figure 2) is the most versatile, general-purpose enterprise infrastructure and application server in the industry. It is a high-density two-socket enterprise-class rack server that delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a wide range of enterprise workloads, including virtualization, collaboration, and bare-metal applications. The Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers can be deployed as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS) to take advantage of Cisco's standards-based unified computing innovations that help reduce customers' total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase their business agility.
The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1387 (Figure 3) is a Cisco innovation. It provides a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure for your data center. This dual-port Enhanced Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) half-height PCI Express (PCIe) modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) adapter is designed exclusively for Cisco UCS C-Series and S3260 Rack Servers. The card supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). It incorporates Cisco's next-generation converged network adapter (CNA) technology and offers a comprehensive feature set, providing investment protection for future feature software releases. The card can present more than 256 PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host, and these can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). In addition, the VIC supports Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology. This technology extends the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect ports to virtual machines, simplifying server virtualization deployment.
The S3260 Storage Server uses a System I/O Controller (SIOC) with an embedded Cisco VIC 1300 series chip (Figure 4) that supports dual-port 40-Gbps connectivity. Both of the M4 Server Nodes within the S3260 Storage Server have a dedicated SIOC that supports all the same features that a standard mLOM or PCE-e 1300 Series VIC does. The three features of most significance to this design are the 40-Gbps connectivity, UCS Manager integration, and vNIC adapter profiles.
Fabric Interconnect provides both network connectivity and management capabilities for the Cisco UCS system. Cisco UCS Fabric Extenders (IOM) in the blade chassis support power supply, along with fan and blade management. They also support port channeling and, thus, better use of bandwidth. The IOMs support virtualization-aware networking in conjunction with the Fabric Interconnects and Cisco Virtual Interface Cards (VIC).
The capabilities of all Fabric Interconnects are summarized in Table 1.
The Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects (Figure 5) are a core part of Cisco UCS, providing both network connectivity and management capabilities for the system. The Cisco UCS 6300 Series offers line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel functions.
The Cisco UCS 6300 Series provides the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers, Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis, and Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers managed by Cisco UCS. All servers attached to the fabric interconnects become part of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting unified fabric, the Cisco UCS 6300 Series provides both LAN and SAN connectivity for all servers within its domain.
From a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6300 Series uses a cut-through architecture, supporting deterministic, low-latency, line-rate 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, switching capacity of 2.56 terabits per second (Tbps), and 320 Gbps of bandwidth per chassis, independent of packet size and enabled services. The product family supports Cisco® low-latency, lossless 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. The fabric interconnect supports multiple traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet fabric from the server through the fabric interconnect. Significant TCO savings can be achieved with an FCoE optimized server design in which network interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), cables, and switches can be consolidated.
The Cisco UCS 6332 32-Port Fabric Interconnect is a 1-rack-unit (1RU) Gigabit Ethernet, and FCoE switch offering up to 2.56 Tbps throughput and up to 32 ports. The switch has 32 fixed 40-Gbps Ethernet and FCoE ports.
Both the Cisco UCS 6332UP 32-Port Fabric Interconnect and the Cisco UCS 6332 16-UP 40-Port Fabric Interconnect (Figure 6) have ports that can be configured for the breakout feature that supports connectivity between 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This feature provides backward compatibility to existing hardware that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet. A 40 Gigabit Ethernet port can be used as four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Using a 40 Gigabit Ethernet SFP, these ports on a Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnect can connect to another fabric interconnect that has four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFPs. The breakout feature can be configured on ports 1 to 12 and ports 15 to 26 on the Cisco UCS 6332UP fabric interconnect. Ports 17 to 34 on the Cisco UCS 6332 16-UP fabric interconnect support the breakout feature.
The Cisco Nexus 9332PQ Switch (Figure 7)is a 1-rack-unit (1RU) switch that supports 2.56 Tbps of bandwidth and over 720 million packets per second (mpps) across thirty-two 40-Gbps Enhanced QSFP+ ports.
Cisco UCS® Manager (Figure 8) provides unified, embedded management of all software and hardware components of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS) across multiple chassis, rack servers and thousands of virtual machines. It supports all Cisco UCS product models, including Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers, C-Series Rack Servers, and M-Series composable infrastructure and Cisco UCS Mini, as well as the associated storage resources and networks. Cisco UCS Manager is embedded on a pair of Cisco UCS 6300 or 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects using a clustered, active-standby configuration for high availability. The manager participates in server provisioning, device discovery, inventory, configuration, diagnostics, monitoring, fault detection, auditing, and statistics collection.
An instance of Cisco UCS Manager with all Cisco UCS components managed by it forms a Cisco UCS domain, which can include up to 160 servers. In addition to provisioning Cisco UCS resources, this infrastructure management software provides a model-based foundation for streamlining the day-to-day processes of updating, monitoring, and managing computing resources, local storage, storage connections, and network connections. By enabling better automation of processes, Cisco UCS Manager allows IT organizations to achieve greater agility and scale in their infrastructure operations while reducing complexity and risk. Cisco Manager provides flexible role- and policy-based management using service profiles and templates.
Cisco UCS Manager manages Cisco UCS systems through an intuitive HTML 5 or Java user interface and a command-line interface (CLI). It can register with Cisco UCS Central Software in a multi-domain Cisco UCS environment, enabling centralized management of distributed systems scaling to thousands of servers. Cisco UCS Manager can be integrated with Cisco UCS Director to facilitate orchestration and to provide support for converged infrastructure and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
The Cisco UCS XML API provides comprehensive access to all Cisco UCS Manager functions. The API provides Cisco UCS system visibility to higher-level systems management tools from independent software vendors (ISVs) such as VMware, Microsoft, and Splunk as well as tools from BMC, CA, HP, IBM, and others. ISVs and in-house developers can use the XML API to enhance the value of the Cisco UCS platform according to their unique requirements. Cisco UCS PowerTool for Cisco UCS Manager and the Python Software Development Kit (SDK) help automate and manage configurations within Cisco UCS Manager.
IBM Cloud Object Storage (Figure 9) is a dispersed storage mechanism that uses a cluster of storages nodes to store pieces of the data across the available nodes. IBM Cloud Object Storage uses an Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) to break files into unrecognizable slices that are then distributed to the storage nodes. No single node has all the data, which makes it secure and resilient to system failures. Security is made possible through encrypting data at rest to provide government grade security with built in key management. Additionally, no single disk, node or site contains enough information to constitute a data breach. while needing only a subset of the storage nodes to be available to fully retrieve the stored data. This ability to reassemble all the data from a subset of the chunks dramatically increases the tolerance to node and disk failures.
This Cisco Validated Design provides a comprehensive, end-to-end guide for deploying IBM Cloud Object Storage on Cisco UCS S3260 within infrastructure made possible by Cisco UCS Manager and the Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnects.
One of the key design goals of this scale out architecture was to deploy all elements on 40GbE networking end to end within a single Cisco UCS domain. All IBM Cloud Object Storage components – Manager, Accesser, and Slicestor – utilize the robust throughput and low latency only provided by the Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnect. Additionally, all components take advantage of the flexibility provided by Cisco UCS service profiles and service profile templates. By design, all design decisions and features within all in-use service profiles are able to be updated with a few modifications.
This design optionally uses the Cisco Nexus 9000 series data center switches in NX-OS standalone mode but provides investment protection to migrate to ACI or higher network bandwidths (1/10/25/40/50/100Gbps) while enabling innovative analytics and visibility using Tetration and automation that support in-box and off-box Python scripting and Open NX-OS that support dev-ops tools (Chef, Puppet, Ansible).
The compute resources supported in this design are Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Servers with accompanying M4 Server Nodes and Cisco UCS C220 M4S rackmount servers. Each Cisco UCS server is equipped with a Cisco Virtual Interface Card (VIC) that aggregate all traffic to and from the server across a single 40GbE interface. Cisco VICs eliminate the need for separate physical interface cards on each server for data and management connectivity. Cisco VIC adapter profiles are easily manageable from within the Cisco UCS Manager UI. Capabilities such as receive and transmit queues, receive side scaling, and jumbo frames are all configurable from within the management interface. This design guide focuses on a fairly basic, flat network topology, but some deployments might require a far more advanced configuration that isolates certain types of traffic. This is all easily achievable with the Cisco VIC without the purchase or configuration of any additional hardware. The Cisco VIC found in each server in this design guide is equipped with two 40 Gbps interfaces that provide best in class latency, throughput, and manageability. Cisco VICs can be virtualized to create up to 256 virtual interfaces that can be dynamically configured as virtual network interface cards (vNICs) or virtual host bus adapters (vHBAs). These virtual interfaces will appear as a standards-compliant PCIe endpoints to the OS. The scope of this solution with IBM Cloud Object Storage ClevOS is configured with two virtual NICs, one on each VIC interface. IBM COS is configured to leverage these two vNICs to provide operational active-backup redundancy in software.
Multiple models of Cisco VICs are available. Cisco VICs are available in the S3260 Storage Server as a part of the SIOC present on every model. The Cisco C220 M4S leverages a VIC that is available as a modular LAN on Motherboard (mLOM). Additionally, a half-height PCI Express (PCIe) card is also available as an alternative configuration or for additional throughput.
Cisco UCS servers are typically deployed with a single VIC card for unified network and storage access. The Cisco VIC connects into a redundant unified fabric provided by a pair of Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects. Fabric Interconnects are an integral part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, providing unified management and connectivity to all attached blades, chassis and rack servers. Fabric Interconnects provide a lossless and deterministic Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) fabric. For the servers connected to it, the Fabric Interconnects provide LAN, SAN and management connectivity to the rest of the network.
For validation, Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Servers with System IO Controller with included VIC 1380 and Cisco UCS C220 M4S servers with VIC 1387, were connected to 2 x Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnects. Each Cisco UCS C220 M4S was deployed with two 40 GbE QSFP copper cables. Each Cisco UCS M4 Server Node within the S3260 Storage Server was also deployed with two 40 GbE QSFP cables. Two M4 Server Nodes were within each S3260 Storage Server which results in a total capable throughput of 160 Gbps to each S3260 chassis.
The Cisco and IBM solution was designed for maximum availability of the complete infrastructure (compute, network, storage) with no single points of failure.
· Cisco UCS system provides redundancy at the component and link level and end-to-end path redundancy to the LAN network.
· Cisco UCS S3260 storage server platform is highly redundant with redundant power supplies, fans and SIOC modules.
· Each server is deployed using vNICs that provide redundant connectivity to the unified fabric. NIC failover is enabled between Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects using Cisco UCS Manager. This is done for all Manager, Accesser, and Slicestor node vNICs.
· Link aggregation using port channels and virtual port channels can be used throughout the design for higher bandwidth and availability, if the optional Cisco UCS Nexus 9332 is deployed.
· Each Manager, Accesser, and Slicestor is configured in mode 1 active-backup bonding mode at the ClevOS software layer.
Cisco UCS, Cisco Nexus, and IBM Cloud Object Storage nodes in this solution provide QoS policies and features for handling congestion and traffic spikes. The network-based QoS capabilities in these components can alleviate and provide the priority that the different traffic types require.
This design also recommends end-to-end jumbo frames with an MTU of 9000 Bytes across the LAN and Unified Fabric links. Jumbo frames increase the throughput between devices by enabling larger sized frames to be sent and received on the wire while reducing the CPU resources necessary to process them. Jumbo frames were enabled during validation on the LAN network links in the Cisco Nexus switching layer and on the Unified Fabric links.
The required software distribution versions are listed below in Table 2.
This Cisco Validated Design describes the architecture, design, and deployment of an IBM Cloud Object Storage solution on six Cisco UCS S3260 Storage servers with two M4 Server Nodes, each configured as IBM COS Slicestor Nodes, and at least four Cisco UCS C220 M4S Rack Servers configured Accesser Nodes, and a single Cisco UCS C220 M4S Rack Server configured as a Manager node. The entire solution is connected to a pair of Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnects and a pair of Cisco Nexus 9332PQ switches with 40Gbps end-to-end.
Cisco UCS S3260 Storage server is an ideal candidate for all IBM Cloud Object Storage deployments. The Cisco UCS 6332 Fabric Interconnect is an optimal infrastructure foundation to deploy IBM COS for maximum efficiency. Built with the latest generation of processors from Intel and years of Cisco DNA in the Virtual Interface Card, this solution is the most robust, agile, and manageable solution for scale out object storage. Together, IBM and Cisco have created a platform that is both flexible and scalable for multiple object storage use cases and applications. File sync and share, active-archive, or media streaming and collaboration, Cisco Unified Computing System and IBM Cloud Object Storage enables customers to right-size their infrastructure and adapt to their evolving business requirements.

Der 2. Junior Eurovision Song Contest fand am 20. November 2004 in Lillehammer, Norwegen statt. Der Fernsehsender NRK veranstaltete den Wettbewerb, Stian Barsnes Simonsen und Nadia Hasnaoui übernahmen die Moderation, letztere war zudem eine der Moderatorinnen beim Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo.

18 Länder nahmen teil, jedoch hatten sich anfangs 20 Länder angemeldet, darunter Deutschland und Israel. Sie zogen ihre Teilnahmen jedoch letztlich wieder zurück. Es gab Gerüchte, dass auch Irland an einer Teilnahme interessiert gewesen sei. Israel nahm 2012 erstmals teil, Irland gab sein Debüt 2015 und Deutschland stieg erst 2020 ein.

Gewinnerin des JESC 2004 war María Isabel aus Spanien mit ihrem Lied Antes Muerta Que Sencilla. Der Vorjahressieger Dino Jelusić überreichte ihr die Siegertrophäe. Sie gilt bis heute als kommerziell erfolgreichste JESC-Siegerin und hatte Charterfolge in Lateinamerika. Noch heute veröffentlicht sie in ihrer Heimat Songs.

Griechenland erhielt auf Platz 9 mehr Höchstwertungen als Großbritannien, das hinter Spanien Zweiter wurde. Im Gegensatz zu Kroatien oder Rumänien, die auf Platz 4 und Platz 3 landeten, erhielt Frankreich als Sechstplatzierter Beitrag Punkte aus allen Teilnehmerländern. Die drei selben Länder wie 2003 erreichten das Podium, nur in anderer Reihenfolge: Spanien, Großbritannien und Kroatien.

Das Ereignis wurde in 20 Ländern übertragen und wurde insgesamt von rund 100 Millionen Menschen gesehen. Neueinsteiger waren Frankreich und die Schweiz, die Schweiz war damit das erste und bisher auch einzige deutschsprachige Land beim JESC, trat jedoch nicht mit einem deutschsprachigen Lied an.

Veranstalter
Die Veranstaltungsrechte wurden ursprünglich an den britischen Sender ITV vergeben, der den Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Manchester austragen wollte. Im Mai 2004 wurden ITV allerdings die Rechte aufgrund von finanziellen und organisatorischen Problemen entzogen und an den zweiten Bewerber Kroatien weitergegeben. Die kroatische Sendeanstalt HRT hatte zu dem Zeitpunkt des JESCs aber bereits andere Pläne und lehnte eine Austragung ab. Erst daraufhin meldete sich der norwegische Sender NRK und erklärte sich für die Austragung bereit.

Just going to spend 10 minutes writing about Festival of Quilts, before it is too out of date. Should really be making a star block for Hazel - don't tell her!
Spent two days there last weekend - as ever not enough, and despite all intentions about proper planning, and a reduced number of categories, still spent most of the first day wandering around in a quilt-induced haze! Also spent too much (but not as much as last year) and bought fabric which I didn't need but couldn't resist and thread and books as usual. It was nice to catch up with Kate and Di and meet Mai-Britt again. And thrilling to see that Mai-Britt won the Miniatures category with a contemporary quilt - Little Thin Blue Line (below).
From Yoshilo Jinzenji's students, made from her original screen printed fabric - these are wonderful - I love the way the traditional patterns appear and disappear depending on how the fabric is cut.
From Brigitte Morgenroth (Wirbelwind), using Heidi Stoll-Weber hand-dyed fabric - isn't the use of colour stunning?
I also loved the simplicity of Ingrid Press' work (above) and the subtly restrained use of colour in Jenny Bowker's Life Line series, discovered in one of the galleries at only the last minute on Saturday (below).
That's all for now, I'll add more later when I've sorted out my photos.
Catching Up - or displacement activity?

For the third time in three decades, Ankara and Yerevan are trying to normalize relations. In a region plagued by rivalry, distrust, and historical grievances, this will be no easy feat.
Beijing has gone to great lengths to punish Lithuania for opening a Taiwanese representative office. In the long run, China's tactics may end up making the EU stronger and more resilient.
Faced with Russia's military threat against Ukraine and demands for NATO to stop further expansion, the West wants a dialogue with Moscow. Diplomatic efforts that are not underpinned by hard power may not be enough to avert a war.
Luca Anceschi
A rift in Kazakhstan's elite has violently played out in the streets of the country. Foreign troop support may have kept President Tokayev in power, but it has also linked his political future to Vladimir Putin.
Transatlantic disunity and a lack of strategy over how to deal with Russia's ultimatum is placing Europe's security architecture at risk. The West has no choice but to put up a strong united front.
Why Europe Must Boost Civil Society Support
Civil society is under attack in the EU's neighborhood. To defend democracy, academic freedom, and independent thought, Europe should step up its assistance to repressed voices.*
Europe Needs a New Reckoning on Security and Democracy
Differing threat perceptions in Western and Central Europe combined with democratic backsliding risk creating dangerous fractures within the EU. Building a shared understanding of today's security challenges must go hand in hand with strengthening democracy in the bloc.
Serbia: A Testament to People Power
The fate of Serbia's democracy is in the hands of its citizens. If the country is to move toward democratic accountability, it will be through bottom-up action, not the EU's membership conditionality.
Judy Asks: Is the EU Politically Committed to Its Eastern Partners?
The EU's Eastern Partnership has brought tangible benefits to its member countries but does not reflect today's geopolitical realities. The approaching summit is a chance to tailor the initiative to partners' diverging needs.
Russia and China Mobilize Transatlantic Partners
Together, the United States and Europe can modernize the post–1945 international order. This requires a strong commitment to democracy and the defense of the norms and values that define the West.
NATO Must Adapt to an Era of Hybrid Threats
John R. Deni
NATO struggles to respond to events falling in between the seams of collective defense, crisis management, and cooperative security. Allies should use the 2022 Strategic Concept to map out how they will deal with Russian and Chinese hybrid warfare.
The Other Britain Waiting to Surface
Peter Kellner
Boris Johnson ignores the old truth that blaming scapegoats is one way to a run a campaign but no way to run a country. While this lasts, the flame of rational, outward-looking patriotism must be kept alight by Britain's civil society.
Germany's New Government Upends the Status Quo
A new coalition in Germany has ambitious plans to modernize a country that slipped into complacency and risk aversion. Its newfound energy could give the EU a much-needed impulse.
The EU Should Stand Firm on Turkey
To avoid an open rule-of-law dialogue with the EU, Turkey is being selective in its areas of engagement with the bloc. The union must make clear that compartmentalizing EU-Turkey relations to suit Ankara's domestic political convenience is not acceptable.
Judy Asks: Is Europe in Denial About Russia?
Most European leaders are disillusioned with Russia. But continuing divisions inside the EU over how to deal with the Kremlin prevent a coherent Russia strategy and play into the hands of Putin.
How Europe Can Build Upon COP26
If climate action fails, the EU will succumb to economic breakdown of supply chains and migratory pressures. To avoid this, the bloc must advance climate justice and restore trust between developed and developing economies.
Lukashenko Uses Migrants to Exploit Europe's Vulnerability
The EU has been slow and irresolute in stopping Minsk from using migrants as a hybrid weapon to weaken the bloc. A migration and asylum policy—not a fortress Europe—is the answer.
The EU's Humiliating Failure in Bosnia
Kurt Bassuener
The EU has long been the dominant player in Bosnia and Herzegovina, however its policy toward the country and the Western Balkans more broadly is failing. A recent vote in the UN Security Council has destroyed what was left of the union's credibility.
The West Cannot Rescue Arms Control Alone
The global arms control regime is disintegrating. To reverse this trend, Europe and the United States will have to find a way to engage both Russia and China.
Judy Asks: Is Europe's Energy Crisis Self-Inflicted?
Europe is facing soaring gas prices. To avoid further crises, the EU should speed up its transition to renewables, reduce dependence on Russia, and formulate a coherent energy policy.

At the age of eighteen months old, a near fatal car crash turned life around for Mike. He was severely injured due to a drunk driving accident. He had a Traumatic Brain Injury receiving a diagnosis of acquired cerebral palsy. Now an adult living with a physical disability Mike realizes that the best medicine is laughter, and his goal is to medicate the whole world (or at least three of his family members).
When Mike was asked to perform on The Cringe Humor Show at The Laugh Factory in Times Square, it created a ripple effect that is still going. As a result of this show his work has been sold on iTunes, and he was aked to co-write a screenplay based on a stand up comedian with a disability. He also garnered many other opportunities such as performing on Shock Jock Radio Shows "Opie & Anthony" and "Howard Stern TV" He was also featured on Comcast Television's "Your Morning Philadelphia." His Jokes have been featured in Love's Funny That Way; Squeaky Clean Comedy; and Filthy, Funny and Totally Offensive. He was also featured in an article in "Advance Magazine," alongside Josh Blue.
In addition to performing regularly at New York City Clubs, Mike continues to headline colleges across the country. Selected campuses include Kansas State University, Binghamton University, and Columbia University.
Mike Cotayo's high-energy performances and quick wit have been captivating audiences for many years. Once he steps onstage all bets are off. He easily feeds off of the crowds energy. No one, not even Mike, knows what's going to come out of his mouth. He has been dubbed 'The Paula Poundstone of his Comedy Generation,' less for his drinking problem, and more for his spontaneity with audiences.
Drugs, Disease & Discovery: A Journey towards Wholeness


Incorporating science projects in to the classroom is a great way for students to view science in action. Students can observe the concepts they are taught about in class so that they have a higher chance of remembering and understanding what they learn. There are several science experiments that can be completed in class using pieces of fruit, such as a banana.
Students can learn how quickly different food items become moldy. Some foods won't mold as fast as others. Set a banana on a dish. A chunk of cheese and a slice of bread will also each need to be set on a plate of their own. Finally, pour a glass of milk. Take a survey among the students to find out which foods they think will mold the quickest, and which ones will mold the slowest. Record their answers and set all four items in the same cabinet. Check the foods once each day and make any notes on observations of mold. After one week, draw a conclusion from your observations.
Grab a bunch of bananas that are still green from your local grocery store, and one banana that is already ripe. Instruct the students to put two green bananas in a paper bag and tape it shut. Label the bag "green, green." The next brown paper bag should contain the ripe banana along with one of the green bananas. Label this bag "green, yellow." Place two green bananas in a plastic zipper bag. You don't need to label it if you don't want to since it is the only set in plastic. Finally, set one green banana on a plate with no wrapping. Ask your students to come up with a hypothesis as to which set of bananas will ripen first and why. Leave the experiment alone and come back to it after five days. Instruct the children to examine each set of bananas to determine which ones ripened the fastest, and which ones were slow to ripen. Draw up a conclusion based on what the class learned from the results.
Students can learn about yeast, and how it is a living organism by conducting an experiment on a banana. Peel one ripe banana and discard the skin. Have one student cut the banana straight down the middle so you have two equal halves. Have another students set each banana half in its own plastic zipper bag. Instruct a third student to sprinkle yeast on one of the banana halves. Label that bag "Y" so you know it is the banana with the yeast on it. Close both bags shut and wait three days before opening them back up. Tell the students to notice how the yeast ate away at the banana, and how the other banana still appears to be whole. You can then try this experiment with other fruits as well.
Give each student in the class a banana and ask them if they think the banana can be sliced without removing the banana peel. Most of the children will respond with a "no," but if you get a child who says "yes" encourage him to share how he thinks this can be accomplished. Once the children are done guessing, give them each a sewing needle. Instruct them to push the pin in the front layer of the banana skin, moving the needle around to slice the banana. Tell the students not to allow the needle to exit out the back side of the skin. Have the children move their pins down every 1.5 inches and repeat the slicing. Once they have finished, they can peel the bananas to reveal their handiwork.

New BlackBerry does Wi-Fi calls
by TechRepublic Staff in IT News Digest , in Networking on September 23, 2007, 4:58 PM PST
According to PC World, T-Mobile has announced the BlackBerry Curve 8320 today. Essentially a BlackBerry Curve, it adds 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi as well as the much coveted ability to make VoIP calls via Wi-Fi.

 In fact, it appears that T-Mobile will be directly marketing 8320's Wi-Fi calling ability as part of its Hotspot@Home system, which costs an extra $10 per month for unlimited calling from Wi-Fi hotspots.
According to PC World, T-Mobile has announced the BlackBerry Curve 8320. Essentially, this model is a BlackBerry Curve with 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi and the much-coveted ability to make VoIP calls via Wi-Fi.
In fact, it appears that T-Mobile will be directly marketing 8320's Wi-Fi calling ability as part of its Hotspot@Home system, which costs an extra $10 per month for unlimited calling from Wi-Fi hotspots.
Excerpt from the article:
While you can use public unencrypted networks, call quality is much better at home using a specially-tweaked router that T-Mobile sells for $49 (with a $50 rebate, so it's essentially free). When I reviewed Hotspot@Home, I experienced trouble with handing off calls between Wi-Fi and cellular networks — but that was months ago, so I'm looking forward to seeing if handoffs have improved.
The T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8320 is going for $249 with a two-year contract.
If anything, it is apparent that the convergence of entertainment, VoIP, push mail, and even access to enterprise systems into handheld devices is going to speed up. Consequently, it is inevitable that the scope of IT departments' responsibilities (as well as qualifications) in these areas will need to increase.

Loud and theatrical protests will again be held outside the AGM of British mining company Vedanta Resources'(1) at the Lincoln Centre, Lincoln Inn Fields, London at 2 pm today(2) accusing the company of major environmental and human rights abuses across its operations. Parallel protests and meetings will be held today by affected communities and their supporters at several locations in India and Zambia. Inside the AGM, dissident shareholders will ask questions on behalf of Zambian villagers who are suing Vedanta in the UK for twelve years of polluted water, as well as tribal inhabitants of the Niyamgiri hills in Odisha, India who accuse Vedanta of murdering and harassing them with state collusion.
Dissident shareholders in London will pour scorn on Vedanta's 2017 Annual Report, which claims that the company 'demonstrate world-class standards of governance, safety, sustainability and social responsibility'. They say it represents a poor attempt to don the 'cloak of respectability'(3) of a London listing noting that Vedanta was again excluded from the Norwegian Pension Fund's investments this year following an investigation which found "numerous reports of Vedanta's failure to comply with government requirements"1 at four subsidiaries in Odisha, Chhatisgarh, Tamil Nadu and Zambia. The report concludes, "there continues to be an unacceptable risk that your company will cause or contribute to severe environmental damage and serious or systematic human rights violations."
On Sunday farming communities living downstream of copper mines run by Vedanta subsidiary Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) in Chingola, Zambia, held a meeting in Hippo Pool to renew their resolve in their twelve-year struggle against the company for severe water pollution which has caused major health problems, and rendered land uncultivable.(4) Police had refused them permission to hold a protest. Government officials visited their villages in Spring this year asking them to drop their London case against Vedanta and settle out of court with the company. The Headmen of Hippo Pool village submitted this statement to the Vedanta board and shareholders which will be asked by Shoda Rackal from Women of Colour in Global Women's Strike:
"The people here are sick and tired of pollution which is killing us through illness and loss of our crops and fish. The pollution must end at all costs. Whether we receive compensation or not, we are asking you to stop polluting us now."
Another dissident shareholder will ask why Vedanta's Annual Report makes no mention of its liabilities relating to the landmark legal case in which 1,826 of the farmers have been granted jurisdiction to sue Vedanta in London for gross pollution by KCM.(5) At the July appeal hearing in the case, Vedanta's lawyers claimed that the company's sustainability and human rights reports are only produced for a show as a requirement of London Stock Exchange rules. Instead, they claimed Vedanta Resources has very littleactual oversight or involvement with subsidiary operations such as Konkola Copper Mines.2
Meanwhile, in Zambia debate rages over KCM's secret finances as the company on Thursday announced it would retrench a further swathe of workers in favour of contract labour at its Nchanga underground mines. KCM has never filed Annual accounts in Zambia according to the recent London judgment.3(6)
Samarendra Das from Foil Vedanta says:
"The UK Government and London Stock Exchange are directly responsible for failing to investigate Vedanta's corporate crimes in India and Zambia since its London listing in 2003. The Zambian State's threats to polluted farmers demonstrate the ongoing colonial power of this British corporation which acts more powerful than the Zambian State.
Britain is profiting from the financial transactions of non-domiciled family-run business houses like Anil Agarwal's Vedanta while appearing to provide them with a service. The opaqueness of the British financial system is gaining directly from giving Anil Agarwal "a cloak of respectability" and in exchange Britain, itself is gaining from appropriating the resources of the third world."
In Chattisgarh the organisation Adivasi Resurgence will today hold a protest at Ambedkar Chowk in Raipur, decrying Vedanta's suppression of the Bakshi Commission report into the death of between 40 and 100 workers when a chimney collapsed at their Korba power plant.4 The inquiry found Vedanta as guilty of negligence and using sub-standard materials and construction methods which caused the death of the workers.5
At the University of Hyderabad, the group Odisha Scholars for Social Justice will hold a protest and meeting today in solidarity with communities affected by Vedanta's operations worldwide.
In Delhi, students from Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students' Association (BAPSA) will hold a solidarity demonstration at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) calling for an end to the displacement and repression of Dalit, Bahujan and Adivasi communities across India by Vedanta.
While their Annual Report claims to respect the right to 'Free Prior Informed Consent', Vedanta has not given up its plans to mine the Niyamgiri hills, despite a unanimous referendum against it by tribal inhabitants in 2013. The Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) has filed a new plea with the National Green Tribunal to overturn the referendum, claiming it overstepped the provisions of the Forest Rights Act by allowing Palli Sabhas to decide on mining, rather than merely settling their claims.6 In September 2016 a group of Dongria Kond had burned down a CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) camp, opposing construction of a road connecting Niyamgiri to Kalyansingpur, which they claim is to aid Vedanta's mine plans and opposing ongoing harassment by the force.7
On Friday five villages around another Odisha bauxite mountain – Kodingamali – held a palli sabha (village council) opposing the proposed mining of the mountain by OMC to feed Vedanta's Lanjigarh refinery.8 They passed a resolution "not to give any patta land, forest land and community land to any mining company" under the banner of Ganatantrik Adhikar Suraksha Sangathan.
This year has seen several major protests by Dongria Kond under the banner of Niyamgiri Suraksha Samiti (NSS) decrying the ongoing abductions, false arrests and State sponsored murders of tribal activists against Vedanta's mine which have been highly publicised in recent months.(7)
In August 2016 Vedanta boss Anil Agarwal told a press conference that he had asked Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to deal with the 'disruptive elements' holding up bauxite mining in the State, suggesting he follow the Tamil Nadu government's approach with protesters at Kudankulam, where widespread police brutality was reported.9 In February 2016 Vedanta employed the services of former Iraq war General Sir Richard Shirreff, and Lord Peter Hain, former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, in 'handling local protest groups'.10
Vedanta are again the subject of multiple major scams and several international arbitrations this year:
An international arbitration is underway for Vedanta's withholding of $100 million in dividends from Cairn Energy, owner of 9.8% shares in Vedanta controlled oil company Cairn India.11 In December 2016 London courts ordered Vedanta subsidiary Konkola Copper Mines to pay $103 million in withheld dividends to Zambian State entity ZCCM-IH.12
The Rajasthani High Court has uncovered a Rs 600 crore ($96 million) tax evasion scam in which Vedanta subsidiary Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) benefitted from tax fraud at the hands of shamed IAS officer Ashok Singhvi in 2015.13 HZL is the subject of another major scam in which it closed its Visakhapatnam Zinc smelter on false grounds to enable the sale of the land for high-value reality. HZL is also accused of major toxic pollution at the site.14
In Punjab, Vedanta subsidiary Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd is the subject of a major power purchase scam in which the Akali Dal government bought power at inflated prices from the private company over cheaper State owned companies.15
Former Rio Tinto CEO Tom Albanese will step down from Vedanta's board at this year's AGM along with executives Euan MacDonald and Aman Mehta. Vedanta's CEO of Zambian operations Steven Din has recently been accused of offering bribes for the Simandou iron ore mine by the former Guinean mining minister, as part of a major corruption investigation. Din was head of Rio Tinto's Guinean operation at the time the scandal unfolded, while Tom Albanese was CEO.16
Recent analyst reports highlight Vedanta's high debt, lack of bauxite at Lanjigarh refinery, and operational issues in Zambia.

News Release 23-Oct-2014
Music therapy reduces depression in children and adolescents
Researchers at Queen's University Belfast have discovered that music therapy reduces depression in children and adolescents with behavioural and emotional problems.
In the largest ever study of its kind, the researchers in partnership with the Northern Ireland Music Therapy Trust, found that children who received music therapy had significantly improved self-esteem and significantly reduced depression compared with those who received treatment without music therapy.
The study, which was funded by the Big Lottery fund, also found that those who received music therapy had improved communicative and interactive skills, compared to those who received usual care options alone.
251 children and young people were involved in the study which took place between March 2011 and May 2014. They were divided into two groups – 128 underwent the usual care options, while 123 were assigned to music therapy in addition to usual care. All were being treated for emotional, developmental or behavioural problems. Early findings suggest that the benefits are sustained in the long term.
Professor Sam Porter of the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Queen's University, who led the study, said: "This study is hugely significant in terms of determining effective treatments for children and young people with behavioural problems and mental health needs."
Dr Valerie Holmes, Centre for Public Health, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences and co-researcher, added: "This is the largest study ever to be carried out looking at music therapy's ability to help this very vulnerable group, and is further evidence of how Queen's University is advancing knowledge and changing lives."
Ciara Reilly, Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Music Therapy Trust, said: "Music therapy has often been used with children and young people with particular mental health needs, but this is the first time its effectiveness has been shown by a definitive randomised controlled trial in a clinical setting. The findings are dramatic and underscore the need for music therapy to be made available as a mainstream treatment option. For a long time we have relied on anecdotal evidence and small-scale research findings about how well music therapy works. Now we have robust clinical evidence to show its beneficial effects."
The research team will now look at the data to establish how cost-effective music therapy is in relation to other treatments.
The research findings will be presented at a conference in Riddel Hall at Queen's University Belfast today (Thursday 23 October 2014).

On July 26th several members of the Montana Retreads took to the roads and completed the grueling 480 mile one day trip to Fairmont Hot Springs to help raise money for Project Hope. Wes & Diana Matson, Dave & Sue McCormack, JT Meenach, Vicki Ludecke, Doug Heald, Terry & Felicia Sullivan and several guests including Mike Stahl and his son, Rob made the trip. The wives and family of the some of the riders drove to the Hot Springs to take in the parade of bikes and the banquet. And, Terry Sullivan was honored at the banquet for being the longest participating rider in the program with over 14 year's continuous participation. Nice going, Terry.
and got to ride on the back of a motorcycle during the parade.
Due to the increasing membership of the Montana Retreads, it has been necessary for Bill Varien, our state Representative to create new positions to handle the increasing complexity of running a chapter that encompasses members residing in Sula to Polson.
Area Representative is a new title Bill has co-opted from the International charter and he has determined that two slots are open. One slot will cover all the members residing north of and including Lolo and the other will cover the area south of Lolo. The positions will primarily have responsibility for determining area breakfasts and rides and then following through on the organization and execution. Anyone interested in volunteering to manage these areas are encouraged to talk to Bill about the details.
Breakfast Captain – This position was created to help Bill reduce the load he was carrying and to provide logistical support required to book restaurants and get commitments from riders for the scheduled meals. Terry Pohland has stepped up to the plate and did a great job of corralling the members for the August ride to Lochsa, even though he was sorely tested by the membership when some decided to forego breakfast at the Hayloft and instead eat at the Lodge. He got it worked out, though, to everyone's satisfaction.
I've been on several rides this year and noticed an alarming trend. For those of you who have taken the beginning rider course, you may remember this exercise. When passing a vehicle, most of us get it right in terms of signaling our intentions then proceeding along a line that keeps us in the rear view mirror of the vehicle we're passing for as long as possible. But then, it seems that some of us go brain dead. Instead of continuing to accelerate until we've established a 2 second following space in front of the passed vehicle, we pull in abruptly and force the passed vehicle to apply brakes. Maybe we need to practice that maneuver more often because as we force vehicles to brake to accommodate our shortened "pass", we endanger all those behind by forcing shorter following distances. And, we tend to piss off car drivers and make the world less happy about motorcycles.
So, the drill is (1) pull into the left hand side of your lane so that you are visible to the driver ahead, (2) signal the pass, (3) move to the right hand side of the oncoming lane and accelerate, (4) cancel left signal and signal to the right, (5) continue to accelerate until you have established a 2 second following distance between you and the vehicle you just passed (this must be done with the understanding that your mirrors may not give you the exact position of the vehicle), (6) pull into the left hand portion of the traffic lane and cancel you signal while continuing to accelerate so as to leave an additional 2 second space for any riders behind you that may be attempting to pass. Failure to accelerate properly forces not only braking on the part of the passed vehicle but also leaves no space for other riders and may strand them in the oncoming traffic lane.
One last note to all our riders….the laws that apply to vehicles apply equally to motorcycles and all club members are responsible to make sure that we all abide by the Montana Vehicle Code. And, if you don't have a Motorcycle Endorsement on your license, you're pushing the limits. The one rule that we have in the club that is beyond the code is that we insists that all members wear a helmet. The definition of a helmet is that it must at least pass the DOT test.

Former Anti-Defamation League director calls Donald Trump hand-raising an intentionally 'fascist gesture'
byJulie Kliegman
J Pat Carter/Getty Images
Former Anti-Defamation League Director Abe Foxman slammed Donald Trump for having supporters at a rally Saturday raise their right hands in an intentionally "fascist gesture."
"He is smart enough — he always tells us how smart he is — to know the images that this evokes," Foxman told The Times of Israel. "Instead of asking his audience to pledge allegiance to the United States of America, which in itself would be a little bizarre, he's asking them to swear allegiance to him."
Trump asked supporters at the Orlando, Florida, rally to swear they'd vote for him in the upcoming primary.
"You swore," the Republican frontrunner told the crowd. "Bad things happen if you don't live up to what you just did."
Foxman didn't mince words in relaying the imagery Trump's scene recreated for him.
"As a Jew who survived the Holocaust," he said, "to see an audience of thousands of people raising their hands in what looks like the 'Heil Hitler' salute is about as offensive, obnoxious, and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America."

Q: Swipe between page ionic/angular 2 I'm doing a mobile app with ionic angular 2.
I would like to be able to switch page by swipping.
For example I would like to be able to navigate between the tabs by swipping with the finger.
And I have a page "Calendar" that lists upcoming events. I want to separate event by month, and be able to switch month by swipping.
Do you have any idea ?
The solutions I found do not work. Is there something new?

A: Thats quite a big question, and I think you'll battle to get a definitive "answer" on SO. I'd suggest you have a look at HammerJS, a widely used gesture support JS library that integrates neatly with the built in gesture support in Angular.
Some useful references to get started:
HammerJS getting started docs - https://hammerjs.github.io/getting-started/
Scotch.io article describing how to integrate HammerJS and Angular - https://scotch.io/tutorials/using-hammerjs-touch-gesture-in-angular-2
Its worth noting that the Angular Material project uses HammerJS for its gesture support. This means its very likely that this integration will be well supported going forward.
