Q: Log Monitoring of Multiple Computers with Email Notification - Filter by EventID I have this PowerShell code below that gathers eventlogs from a list of computers and then sends email to the recipients.
What i do need is for it to look for specific set of event id and not search for all events. Then if it sees any of the event i specified, it will send the report to the user else it would just end and not send any email.
# Continue even if there are errors
$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue";

# EMAIL PROPERTIES
 # Set the recipients of the report.

# REPORT PROPERTIES
 # Path to the report

# Path and Report name together
$logReport = $reportPath + $reportName

# Get computer list to check logs

A: You could try putting an ID parameter into your Filter Hashtable then use an If-Else statement to turn the Id search on and off. Create your text file like soon:
servers.txt
SERVERNAME1;11,65,73
SERVERNAME2;1
SERVERNAME3;1,2,3,4,5
SERVERNAME4;
SERVERNAME5;
SERVERNAME5;33,64,217,15

Note the ; with no ids on the end of SERVERNAME 4 and 5 this will search for all events.
Then use the following code to pick out the event id's and server names from servers.txt and search accordingly.
$body = Get-Content $computers | ForEach-Object {

    # Reset Variables
    $EventIds=$ServerName=$split=$null

    # Split the line in the text file on ;
    $split = $_ -split ";"

    # Get the servernamne and eventIds
    $ServerName = $split[0]
    [Array]$EventIds = $split[1] -split ','

    # If there is an event id mentioned search for it else search for all events
    If($EventIds -ne "" -and $EventIds -ne $null){
        Get-WinEvent -ComputerName $ServerName -FilterHashtable @{logname=$logname; Level=1,2,3; starttime=$StartDate; Id=$EventIds} -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    }
    Else{
        Get-WinEvent -ComputerName $ServerName -FilterHashtable @{logname=$logname; Level=1,2,3; starttime=$StartDate}
    }
}

A: I've actually solved this one just buy adding a line of code.
Added this $EventID = Get-Content 'EventID.txt'
and modified this
$body = Get-Content $computers | ForEach-Object {
    Get-WinEvent -ComputerName $_ -FilterHashtable @{logname=$logname; Level=1,2,3; starttime=$StartDate; ID=$EventID}
}

Month: October, 2017
"The official portraits of Trump and Pence finally are in circulation"
The Washington Post reports:
The White House announced Tuesday that it's releasing official portraits of President Trump and Vice President Pence to be hung in thousands of government offices nationwide — nine months after they were sworn in.
The portraits had been conspicuously missing from the lobbies of federal building and office walls, which have been graced by empty picture frames and hooks that until Jan. 20 held the portraits of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Can you imagine the portrait above hanging in 9,600 federal buildings? Of course it won't be. That is a portrait commissioned by Trump in 1987, painted by Ralph Wolfe Cowan, entitled The Entrepreneur. Much more fun than the official one, though (and so 1980s).
Flower in the Vase
The cut flower
In the vase
Petals and leaves
Now drying and drooping
Will bring it back
The Trump Roller Coaster
A friend tells me that American history travels in arcs, like a pendulum swinging back and forth. Many share this perspective.
Right now, I think of American history as a roller coaster. If you are a fan of roller coasters, you love those sharp turns and steep drops—the sharper and steeper the better. It is artificially death-defying because you are sure you will not die, or even be hurt. You have confidence that all those who brought you to that moment on the ride—the designers, manufacturers, maintainers and operators—have taken scrupulous care to make sure that at that moment and at every moment, the roller coaster is safe. Nothing less will do.
Trump is designing, manufacturing, maintaining and operating the current American roller coaster. How safe do you feel?
Sophie Scholl: "Somebody, after all, had to make a start."
Readers of Brigitte, the largest women's magazine in Germany, voted Sophie
Scholl the most important woman of the 20th century.
You probably do not know Sophie Scholl. She was a founder of the White Rose movement, a tiny group of German students who distributed leaflets opposing the Nazi regime. In 1943 she and two others were arrested, tried and immediately executed for treason. At the trial she simply said, "Somebody, after all, had to make a start."
From A Noble Treason: The Story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Revolt Against Hitler:
A young Munich barrister named Leo Samberger opened his mail one morning in February of 1943, and, as he said afterward, he couldn't believe his eyes. That was a time when every new day seemed to bring some new event to unsettle the nerves or stun the senses. The war, in its fourth year, had made the unexpected routine and the startling commonplace.
Even so, Leo Samberger was shaken when he opened what he thought was a letter but turned out to be a leaflet. It was neatly typed, singlespaced, with no illustration or typographical flourish of any kind. It was a solid block of type that made no more concession to the reader than a page from a textbook. But Leo Samberger caught his breath as he ran his eye down the page. "The day of reckoning has come, the reckoning of German youth with the most detestable tyranny that our people has ever endured. . ."…
With an intensity that broke through every phrase, the leaflet denounced the "corporal of World War I" whose amateur strategy had just cost the German people three hundred thousand of their sons in the bloodbath at Stalingrad. Here the leaflet, in its bitterness, used sardonically the saying that the Ministry of Propaganda had popularized to hail the achievements of Adolf Hitler: "Führer, wir danken Dir!" (Leader, we thank you!).
Then, at the end, came an impassioned call for revolt: "The name of Germany will be disgraced forever unless the German youth rises up, in both atonement and vengeance, to crush its tormentors and to build a new and nobler Europe."…
The story circulated that some students had been caught scattering leaflets along corridors on the stairway between floors, and in the central hall under its high, domed skylight. The leaflets had been swiftly gathered up and spirited away by custodians before they could spread their corruption among the students. Copies were being closely examined in the rector's office, to which, again, the Gestapo had been summoned. The names of the perpetrators were not immediately made known, nor was their fate….
Now it became clear why the chief judge of the People's Court had been hastily flown from Berlin to preside at this trial and why the courtroom was so liberally seeded with representatives of the armed power of the state. The charges that Freisler had read from the indictments were among the gravest that could be brought against a German by his government in wartime.
It appeared from the evidence that the infamous deeds cited by the prosecution had been perpetrated over a period of many months by an organization with the curiously incongruous name of "the White Rose". Page after page told of the activities of this group that had secretly and subversively produced thousands of leaflets attacking the government and the war effort and circulated them in many different cities, thereby threatening the very survival of the Reich.
Freisler made no pretense of being judicial. He ranted. He bellowed. He encouraged the prosecution and ignored the defense. At his post in the doorway Leo Samberger turned his eyes from the flaming figure on the bench to the defendants. There were three of them. Though he didn't know them, he recognized their faces from seeing them many times in the concert halls of Munich that he himself frequented. They were college students, young, educated, clean-cut—his own sort. It seemed hardly credible that they were sitting in the dock with a death penalty over their heads as a consequence of what had happened at the university only three days before….
All three maintained their self-possession in a way that won a grudging admiration even in that room, but Sophie made a particular impression. Not only did she stand out as the lone female caught up in these proceedings, but she had an indefinable quality of her own. She was twenty-two years old, dark, and with a curious aura of mingled girlishness and gravity. Now and then during the trial, her brow would crease into a quick, musing frown, which those who knew her would have recognized as characteristic. Even here, in the courtroom with her life at stake, the frown did not signify anxiety or dismay. It meant that she was turning over in her mind a point, an implication, or a shading and weighing it to get it right.
She was wearing a rumpled and rather mannish sort of coat that contributed little to her appearance. She had endured three days of nearly unbroken interrogation in a Gestapo prison, and she looked worn and tired. But her quiet appeal, hovering always between girl and woman, was unimpaired. It was overlaid, now, with a kind of subdued defiance apparent in the cast of her features and the set of her head. Once Roland Freisler, squirming with fury inside his scarlet robe, demanded to know how any German could possibly do what the indictment charged against the trio in the dock. It was Sophie who responded, clearly and coolly:
"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare to express themselves as we did."…
As the proceedings wore on, it became obvious that no defense worth the name would be offered. The court-appointed defense attorneys scarcely troubled to conceal their aversion to their task or to disguise their approval of the charges. The verdict itself was never in doubt. Berlin had not sent Roland Freisler winging down to Munich to preside over an acquittal.
Yet there was, as Leo Samberger noted, a pronounced tension in the courtroom as the words were about to be spoken that would, quite literally, cost three young people their heads. Such a thing had never happened before even in a Nazi courtroom. And the words came from the bench as expected: ". . . for the protection of the German people, and of the Reich, in this time of mortal struggle, the Court has only one just verdict open to it on the basis of the evidence: the death penalty. With this sentence the People's Court demonstrates its solidarity with the fighting troops!"
Even before the auditorium was drained of its gray, black, and brown uniforms, the condemned trio was hurriedly surrounded by a cordon of police, put in manacles, and led away.
The three of them were taken directly from the court to the place of execution, to Stadelheim, on the outskirts of the city. There, that same afternoon, all three were beheaded, the girl, Sophie, going under the guillotine first. It was all done with a speed and brutality that signaled something like panic in high places.
"A Cancer on the Presidency"
"I began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and that if the cancer was not removed the president himself would be killed by it."
John Dean, counsel to President Nixon
What John Dean knew or should have known, but would not say to Nixon, was that the cancer was not growing on the presidency—it began with and was the presidency.
There are 15 physicians in the current U.S. Congress; 13 are members of the Republican Party. You'd think that above all people, they would be aware of the virulent spread of cancer, in the body and in the body politic. And they would be anxious to do everything they could to heal it and rid the body of it.
The Republican physicians in Congress have refused, as have most Republicans in Congress and other offices. They seem to be in denial, or believe in some kind of magical healing ("he will change"), or in some cases are actually benefiting from the disease, though they rationalize this as being for the good of the American people.
Back in Watergate, Republicans did not have to hear about "a cancer on the presidency" from John Dean. Many or most of them recognized it, and took the measures needed to make it go away. Without them, Nixon would probably have remained president until January 1976, rather than resigning in August 1974. Who knows how far the cancer might have spread by then?
Maybe Republicans will finally do something, but it is not hopeful. Who knows how far the cancer might spread?
A Courage, Conscience and Character Party
I have long said that a third (or fourth) party can't work in America because of political structure, tradition and history. I may have been wrong.
America has a two-party system, one of the many ways we are "exceptional" compared to the rest of the democratic world, which mostly has some form of a multi-party parliamentary system. As much as our system more or less works, it is now apparent that it works only when it is filled, top to bottom, with people of courage, conscience and character. We know this because for the first time in more than two centuries, courage, conscience and character are in short supply, or at least buried under ambition, greed and who knows what other issues.
And so, I introduce a new kind of third party. The Courage, Conscience and Character Party (aka the People of Principle Party).
There is no policy or ideology litmus test for this party. Of course policy and ideology matter, sometimes a lot, in the particular way things get done. But I now see that in the big picture, these are secondary. Whether one is progressive, conservative, or in between, none of that matters if you are not driven by brave decency. Even if the policy or ideology is not to our liking, or completely anathema, we can at least be inspired by those who publicly demonstrate the qualities of courage, conscience and character.
It is true that wherever you stand politically there are preferred policies that appeal to you and for which you will fight. But it is just as important to be able to point to people—be able to point out those people to our children—and say: Their plans may be wrongheaded and ill-conceived, but I don't question their honesty, sincerity, decency, empathy, courage, conscience or character. We seem to be taking a break from that possibility, and if it takes another party to get us there, we will be a better country and better people for it.
Pope Francis: Amassing Wealth While Children Die Is 'Idolatry That Kills'
I am not a Catholic or a Christian, but no major world leader—religious or political—gives me more hope for the possibility of humanity than Pope Francis.
Today's story as reported by Crux:
Pope says amassing wealth while children die is 'idolatry that kills'
In his homily at morning Mass on Monday, Pope Francis returned to a familiar theme — how amassing wealth, both money and land, while children suffer and die, is a morally unacceptable form of idolatry. There's an "idolatry that kills," that makes "human sacrifices" Francis said, by those who are hungry of money, land and wealth, who have "a lot" in front of "hungry children who have no medicine, no education, who are abandoned."
ROME – During his daily morning Mass on Monday, Pope Francis said there are those in the world who have too much wealth, and their hoarding of money and land in the face of hungry children with no access to medicine or education is the equivalent of making "human sacrifices."
In times when the media reports "so many calamities, so many injustices," especially concerning children, Francis sent a "strong" prayer to God, asking him to convert the hearts of men so that they don't worship "the God of money."
Francis's homily, partially reported by Vatican Radio, turned on the Gospel of the day, a passage from the Book of Luke that tells the parable of the rich man for whom, according to the pope, money was his god. The passage, the pontiff said, leads to a reflection of how useless it is to rely on earthly property, emphasizing how much the true treasure is instead one's relationship with God.
Despite the abundance of his harvest, the man in the parable wanted to expand his storehouses to have even more, in his "fantasy" of "stretching life out," collecting more goods "to the point of nausea," not knowing when it's enough, in an "exasperated consumerism."
This, Francis said, is the "reality of today," when many people who live to worship money and make it their god, lead a senseless life.
There's an "idolatry that kills," that makes "human sacrifices" Francis said, by those who are hungry of money, land and wealth, who have "a lot" in front of "hungry children who have no medicine, no education, who are abandoned.
"This idolatry causes so many people to starve. We only think of one case: 200,000 Rohingya children in refugee camps," the pope said, referring to the refugee crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh. "There are 800,000 people there, 200,000 of whom are children."
"Our prayer must be strong: Lord, please touch the hearts of these people who worship God, the god of money," he said. "And also touch my heart, so I don't fall into this too, so that I can see."
Green Fall
What fall is this
Green leaves among
The red and gold
Scattered on the grass?
Lay them in designs and pictures
Pile them in mounds
Walking from one to the other
And still they fall.
If wind and winter never come
I will be here every day
Wondering about the green leaves.
Tolerance in America Grew. Now Racism is on the Rise. The Churches Have Responsibility.
I won't repeat the news story this morning from a Richmond, Virginia middle school. You can find it. It is enough to say that it is one more story about white American kids and racial intolerance in 2017.
It's easy to see the advances we've made. Many parents look at their children and see genuine color-blindness. Whether this is our doing (maybe a little) or just the social environment, it is heartening to see.
But these days have made clear that racism in America is not gone, at any level, at any age, and may be on the ascendance. Which brings me to institutional religion, the churches and the synagogues.
Institutional religion is by its nature conservative, not politically but philosophically and practically. Holding on is continuity and coherence, moving on can be a kind of letting go.
As the 1950s slid into the civil rights era of the 1960s, churches struggled to keep a balance between the drama of the most idealistic beliefs and the pragmatics of congregational support. It was, in some ways, a repeat of what had happened a century earlier in the fight against slavery. As it was back then, the response for many churches was a bland silence.
But that was not enough for some in the 1960s, as Christian and Jewish leaders took to the pulpits and the streets and almost shamed their congregants into standing up for right. In the long run, it worked, and we can see the progress that has been made.
Yet nothing is forever, especially in the social tides. Every day serves up another story, some very clear, some more subtle, all of them pointing to racists among us, even in Congress, even in middle schools.
Those politicians, those bureaucratic executives, those middle schoolers, many of them claim religious affiliation, many of them attending church or synagogue. Leaders and pastors are not to blame when messages and exhortations of tolerance don't get through to hard-headed, hard-hearted faithful listeners. But when they don't speak up at all—pointedly, regularly and loudly—then they are shirking their mission and responsibility. If they see something, they must say something.
Why We Teach The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf' Story to the Very Young
Children sometimes lie, and some of us lied as children. It happens. That's why we teach The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf' story early. The simple and useful lesson: There will come a time when it is very important to be believed—to avoid getting eaten by a wolf—and no one will believe you.
Here is the story, as found in Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs:
The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf'
There was a boy tending the sheep who would continually go up to the embankment and shout, 'Help, there's a wolf!' The farmers would all come running only to find out that what the boy said was not true. Then one day there really was a wolf, but when the boy shouted they didn't believe him and no one came to his aid. The whole flock was eaten by the wolf. The story shows that this is how liars are rewarded: even if they tell the truth, no one believes them.
Some never learn that lesson, because they always get away with (or think they get away with) lying all the time. Manchild Trump is one of those.
Maybe, just maybe, he is growing to regret no one believing him. In the middle of a distasteful controversy about his failure to deal with the families of fallen soldiers, it is reported that he just told one widow, "He knew what he signed up for." Trump denies saying this. Most Americans don't believe him.
It's not clear that this controversy is "the thing" that politically wounds Trump among his docile and subservient Republican colleagues. But if it is, Trump may finally learn the lesson of the story. Unless, of course, he always thought the story was only about the wolf.

Critical infrastructure, Vulnerability management
Researcher again discloses multiple SCADA flaws
Angela Moscaritolo September 19, 2011
An Italian researcher has discovered and released details of at least a dozen vulnerabilities affecting industrial control systems, which operate critical infrastructure facilitates, such as power plants and oil refineries.
Luigi Auriemma last week disclosed the previously unknown flaws, along with proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code, prompting the U.S. Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) to issue advisories.
The flaws affect various supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, including AzeoTech DAQFactory, Beckhoff TwinCAT, Carel PlantVisor, Cogent DataHub, Measuresoft ScadaPro, Progea Movicon and Rockwell RSLogix. Such systems are used to manage operations at facilities across a range of industries, including energy, water, wastewater, oil-and-gas, manufacturing and finance, according to the ICS-CERT advisories.
The bugs could allow an attacker to execute code, download files from a remote machine or cause a denial-of-service, Auriemma told SCMagazineUS.com in an email interview Monday.
Auriemma made headlines in March for disclosing dozens of zero-day SCADA flaws. The affected software in the latest batch are "smaller or less known" than those previously disclosed, he said.
But he admitted: "I'm not in the SCADA sector so what looks 'small' to me, in reality, can be bigger than what I think."
Rockwell is the most well-known vendor affected in the latest group of flaws, he said. The issue appears to exist in multiple Rockwell products, but may be difficult to exploit, he said.
"A denial-of-service is sure, while the code execution is in doubt," Auriemma said of the Rockwell issue.
That company has released an advisory about the flaw, and promised a fix within 14 days, according to ICS-CERT.
The most severe issue, affecting Measuresoft ScadaPro 4.0.0, has been corrected, but could have allowed a hacker to gain control of a remote system, Auriemma said. Measuresoft on Thursday released ScadaPro 4.0.1, which corrects the issue.
The company downplayed the severity of the flaw, however, noting it was tested "out of normal context" and expressed concern over the way it was disclosed.
"Ethical hacking ensures that the person being attacked is aware of the attack, which was not the case in this instance," the company said.
The flaws were not difficult to find, Auriemma said.
"I did everything as fast as possible, dedicating only some minutes to each one of them," said.
CISA sheds light on K-12 cybersecurity in review
U.S. K-12 school districts have been urged by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to prioritize cybersecurity risk management amid the elevated prevalence of significant staffing and resource difficulties in securing IT systems, StateScoop reports.


Your kitchen has to endure a lot of wear and tear. From cooking mishaps to spilled milk, your kitchen floor needs to be able to withstand even the messiest child. Besides being practical and durable, your kitchen floor is also a major design statement. The flooring you choose affects every other element of your design and with the variety of colors, materials, and textures available your choices are nearly limitless.
Both stone and tile is an excellent choice for heavy traffic areas. Ceramic tile is especially durable and is available in several colors and styles so that you can really spice up your kitchen.
This natural stone offers a wonderful old world look that will really 'wow' your guests. However, it is a porous material that must be sealed upon installation and then twice a year after that.
This flooring is quite durable and versatile with its large selection of colors. That aside, cork is a wonderful choice for the kitchen due to its water-resistance and ability to reduce impact noise. If you have a lot of messy children running around, this flooring can really help with spills.
This is quickly becoming a very popular choice for the modern kitchen. It feels great on the feet and creates a warm and welcoming look that will have everyone joining you in the kitchen. That aside, these wood floors can withstand heavy traffic and water stains making is a wonderful option for the kitchen.
Both vinyl and resilient flooring offers up a variety of styles and colors in either tiles or sheets. This gives you a lot of variety so you can easily create your own unique look.

Gateway City Brewery plans a party for its grand opening
'We connected with someone who manages pinball machines and I think we have more pinball machines in town than anywhere else and we offer all you can play pinball on Sundays'
Jun 12, 2019 4:00 PM by: Kortney Kenney
Gateway City Brewery co-owner Mike Perreault samples some of his company's suds. Kortney Kenny/BayToday.
Craft beer is one of the most rapidly growing industries in northern Ontario, yet you might be hard-pressed to find a more fun and professional environment than the one at Gateway City Brewery off Gormanville Rd. in North Bay.
The moment you walk in you are treated to the always impressive scene of a brewery in full tilt, but also of pinball machines, foosball tables and of course, great music (today it was B.B. King).
"Our main goal is obviously production," part-owner Mike Perreault said.
"We are set up as a full-scale production facility. That being said, a lot of breweries have a tap room so what we have done is taken the space we have up front, and make it as fun as possible. We connected with someone who manages pinball machines and I think we have more pinball machines in town than anywhere else and we offer all you can play pinball on Sundays."
Gateway City Brewery also enjoys hosting events in the community such as choirs, brewery yoga, hosting bands and many more, all which help showcase the beer they offer. The range of flavours, after just six months in business, is close to 20, all with a unique nod at North Bay's history.
"We offer four core beers all year, the rest are seasonal or tap room exclusives. There is the 626, a German-style pilsner, 137, a rye pale ale, 11.17 an India session ale, 503 which is a dark rye lager." Perreault explained.
"The numbers of each brew correspond to different modes of transportation that have historical significance around North Bay. The 626 is the number on the CF-100 Jet in Lee Park. 503 is the Ontario Northland steam engine that used to be in Lee Park. 11.17 is for the two major highways in town and 137 is the approximate amount of minutes it takes to portage from Trout Lake to Lake Nipissing.
"Another is Aunt May's multigrain golden ale. It is made with five different grains so we named it after the old bakery. Every name has had some type of significance to it, we have put a little bit of thought into it."
You can find their beer in their tap room of course, but also in about roughly 20 restaurants across town as well as expansions in Sudbury and up the north highway.
Even though the Gateway City Brewery has been open since just before New Year 2019, this Friday, June 14 sees the official grand opening of the craft beer company.
"The grand opening is a way for us to really show off the brewery. We are very proud of what we are doing. We have a mobile canning company called Northern Canning coming up, and they are going to package the beer right in front of everybody and you will be able to try the beer fresh off the line. We also have Restoration Jazz band which is Neil Kennedy's Dixieland jazz group. There is also Tucos Tacos from Sudbury bringing up a food truck so it will make for a fun time," an excited Mike Perreault explained.
Tickets for the grand opening are $20 and that gets you two freshly brewed beers at the event. If the trajectory that the Gateway City Brewery has been on in the last six months in any indication, this is certainly only the beginning.

Warfare in News
Posted on Tuesday 16th July
Lord Anglesey of Plas Newydd, Anglesey, passed away on 13 July, aged 90.
George Charles Henry Victor Paget was born on October 8 1922 into a family of distinguished soldiers, whom he honoured by producing an 8-volume History of the British Cavalry. When the first part was published in 1973, it was described as 'a work of astounding ability' and won the Chesney Gold Medal of the Royal United Services Institute for military history in 1996.
His decision to take on the project, which took him 25 years to complete, arose from his interest in how men and animals behave in peace and war, and because he felt there was a gap in our military history. His fascination for his ancestor, Lord Uxbridge - famous for his role at Waterloo which led to the creation of the marquisate - stimulated his interest in military history. He authored several books before A History of the British Cavalry, including a biography of the 1st Marquess, One Leg.
Lord Anglesey sat on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords, and served with various institutions such as the National Museum of Wales; the Historic Buildings Council for Wales; the Welsh Committee of the National Trust; the Royal Fine Art Commission, and was a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery and of the National Heritage Memorial Fund.
Furthermore, he was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Historical Society, the Royal Society of Literature and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He was also an Honorary Doctor of Literature of the University of Wales and was Lord Lieutenant of Gwynedd in the 1980s.
He married Shirley Morgan in 1948 and they had 2 sons and 3 daughters. The eldest son now succeeds to the title.
All 8 volumes of A History of the British Cavalry are available from Pen and Sword Books, who are currently offering all 8 books for £200, or discounts on individual volumes.

Is your process documentation a mess?
Even large and sophisticated organizations struggle with their processes. And a big part of the problem is lack of business process documentation. It's hard to create it, to keep it up to date and to get people to actually use it. But a lack of documentation gives you all sorts of headaches.
How can you improve a process without defining it as it stands now. Without a map of where you are, how can you plot a course to where you want to go?
It's much harder to train people. You need a process to show them their responsibilities and how their work fits into everyone else's. If you have no formal processed-based way to train new hires, it delays the time it takes before they are making a positive contribution.
If you don't define your processes, you don't know what people are doing. And if only one employee knows how something is done, there is a process "black hole". You know you have one when you dread when they go on vacation and you worry about what would happen if they left for good.
But what if you could map out all of your processes so that there was no ambiguity about what people are required to do?
What if your process maps were online?
What if they were interactive? So people could click on an activity box on a map and pull up all the associated forms and documents relevant to that activity. That way your team could have a single, authoritative source for process information. Complete with an intuitive way of searching for things.
What if you had trained employees who knew how to capture existing processes, map them and then keep them up to date?
And if getting even routine things done, simply takes too long.
Rapid Process Discovery is a way to capture existing processes into an interactive web-based Process Library. Not only that, but it comes with the training you need to make the process of mapping process sustainable.
A detailed and interactive set of process maps for a single pilot process.
All the relevant documentation for that process in one secure, searchable location.
A web based Process Library that you can build on, for all your future process documentation.
Training for key process employees that allows them to document and maintain processes.
And finally, templates for Policies, Checklists, and more, to give your team standardized document formats.
Rapid Process Discovery is more than just a consulting engagement. More than just a single mapped process. It gives you the tools and training you need to keep process documentation alive and well long after the initial effort.
Now you'll finally have a basis for standardization, accountability, training and improvement.
If this sounds like something you want to explore further, start with a conversation with me, Ian James, by clicking on the link on this page or at the end of the video.

This Indonesian Woman Saved for 26 Years by Selling Junk to Perform Hajj
by IlmFeed August 6, 2019, 11:10 am
64-year-old Maryani is finally realising her dream of performing the Hajj pilgrimage after spending almost three decades picking waste in secret.
"I have always wanted to go for Hajj," she told Anadolu Agency before leaving for Saudi Arabia on Friday.
Maryani said her desire to complete the Hajj pilgrimage grew stronger when her husband passed away in the 1980s. Widowed and left with four children to raise on her own, Maryani initially didn't know how to save money.
"So, I started collecting the junk," she said.
Mariyani would work every morning from dawn until the fajr adhan collecting recyclable items such as plastic cups, bottles and bits of cardboard that she could sell on.
"After a heavy rain, I also collected sands to sell," she added.
In 2012, after 19 years, Maryani's had saved 25 million rupiahs ($1,750), the minimum first payment required to register for Hajj in Indonesia at the time. She continued working up until this year to save the remaining 10 million rupiahs ($699.82).
Although her now-adult children supported her with daily expenses, they had no idea that their mother had been saving for Hajj all this time.
"How could I help my mother, I also didn't know she collected money to leave for the pilgrimage," said one of her children, Dany Mulyana, who works as a parking attendant.
Mariyani only told her children that she was going to Makkah in April after she received her departure schedule from the Ministry of Religious Affairs. She admitted that 26 years was a very long time, but never worried about when she would have enough money to finally perform Hajj.
"The most important thing was that I saved up. I never gave up, always full of spirit and never felt tired."

Are Our Commercial Tax Rates Rising Faster than Residential?
A few weeks ago City Hall administration provided Council with historical information on assessment growth and tax collection in the City. This was done in response to questions from a few of us on Council. I've been mulling over the numbers and it looks to me like we are taxing businesses significantly more today, relative to residences, than we were in 2000.
The table below shows the mill rates for our various property classes in 2000, 2007 and 2014.
Basically, in the year 2000 businesses paid 1.76 times the residential rate whereas today they pay 2.13 times the residential rate. We've been charging commercial property owners the annual property tax increases approved by Council, plus an additional 20% that we haven't been charging to residential owners. We've been increasing their taxes annually AND adjusting their mill rates upward. Council approves the mill rates every year, so we've been approving this shift, but I for one was unaware that the mill rates ratios were changing from year to year.
There is definitely also a possibility that I'm wrong about all of this and that I've made errors in my calculations. I've asked City administration to check my math and get back to me. I'll report back here when they do.
If it turns out that I'm right, residential taxpayer should be just as concerned about this as commercial taxpayers because it will show that the cost of running the City has been disguised somewhat (knowingly or unknowingly) by this slow shifting of the mill rates.
There is a final possibility here - a previous Council may have made the conscious decision to shift taxes further onto the commercial sector. But if that were the case, I would think it would be front and center in our strategic plans and general plans.
Below are links to the two main files that I've been using to make these calculations, in case anyone wants to look into this further. You can get the total tax figures from the City website under Forms and Publications>Budget Documents.

Q: Correct Binding in WPF (Collection inside Collection) on Tab and Datagrid I would like to have on several tabs different Datagrids but I have problems with the correct Binding.
Each TabEntry has a Collection of DataGridEntry.
The Tab Items are displayed (Tab1 and Tab2) but the Binding for the DataGridEntries is not correct.
TabEntry.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

namespace TabControlTest
{
    public class TabEntry : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        public TabEntry()
        {
            DataGridEntries = new ObservableCollection<DataGridEntry>();
        }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public ObservableCollection<DataGridEntry> DataGridEntries{get;set;}

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    }

    public class DataGridEntry : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public string Value { get; set; }
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    }
}

MainWindow.xaml.cs
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        ObservableCollection<TabEntry> Tabs = new ObservableCollection<TabEntry>();

        TabEntry tab1 = new TabEntry();
        tab1.Description = "Tab1";

        DataGridEntry data1 = new DataGridEntry();
        data1.Description = "Tab1 Description 1";
        data1.Value = "Tab1 Value 1";

        DataGridEntry data2 = new DataGridEntry();
        data2.Description = "Tab1 Description 2";
        data2.Value = "Tab1 Value 2";

        tab1.DataGridEntries.Add(data1);
        tab1.DataGridEntries.Add(data2);

        TabEntry tab2 = new TabEntry();
        tab2.Description = "Tab2";

        DataGridEntry data3 = new DataGridEntry();
        data1.Description = "Tab2 Description 1";
        data1.Value = "Tab1 Value 1";

        DataGridEntry data4 = new DataGridEntry();
        data2.Description = "Tab2 Description 2";
        data2.Value = "Tab1 Value 2";

        tab2.DataGridEntries.Add(data3);
        tab2.DataGridEntries.Add(data4);

        Tabs.Add(tab1);
        Tabs.Add(tab2);
        this.DataContext = Tabs;
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

Tabs is a collection with tabEntries (class TabEntry)
Each TabEntry has a collection with DataGridEntries(class DataGridEntry)
How do I bind to these collections correctly in xaml?
<Window x:Class="TabControlTest.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TabControlTest"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Grid>
        <TabControl x:Name="tabControl1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" TabStripPlacement="Left" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="242" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="358">
            <TabControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}"></TextBlock>
                </DataTemplate>
            </TabControl.ItemTemplate>
            <TabControl.ContentTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <DataGrid x:Name="dataGrid1" ItemsSource="{Binding DataGridEntries}">
                        <DataGrid.Columns>
                        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Description" Binding="{Binding Description}"></DataGridTextColumn>
                        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Value" Binding="{Binding Value}"></DataGridTextColumn>
                        </DataGrid.Columns>
                    </DataGrid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </TabControl.ContentTemplate>
        </TabControl>
    </Grid>
</Window>

I have the following output:

The content is not correctly mapped to the TabControl and DataGrid.
The Datagrid on Tab2 is blank

A: Your member DataGridEntries must be a property to be used in binding:
public class TabEntry : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public TabEntry()
    {
        DataGridEntries = new ObservableCollection<DataGridEntry>();
    }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public ObservableCollection<DataGridEntry> DataGridEntries { get; set; }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

Side note: Just implementing INotifyPropertyChanged is not enought - you also need to call the event in the getter methods. Either implement the getters or use e.g. Fody...

A: Here a cleaner implementation of what you are trying to do
the Xaml
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication34.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:wpfApplication34="clr-namespace:WpfApplication34"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
<Grid>

    <Grid>
        <TabControl x:Name="tabControl1" ItemsSource="{Binding Tabs}" TabStripPlacement="Left" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="242" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="358">
            <TabControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" ></TextBlock>
                </DataTemplate>
            </TabControl.ItemTemplate>

            <TabControl.ContentTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <DataGrid x:Name="dataGrid1" ItemsSource="{Binding DataGridEntries}">
                        <DataGrid.Columns>
                            <DataGridTextColumn Header="Description" Binding="{Binding Desription}"></DataGridTextColumn>
                            <DataGridTextColumn Header="Value" Binding="{Binding Value}"></DataGridTextColumn>
                        </DataGrid.Columns>
                    </DataGrid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </TabControl.ContentTemplate>

Dramatic Play is a center that can get boring so spice it up by transforming it into an Aquarium! The kids LOVED this theme and so did the teachers! It was something new, different, and involved ocean animals. Kids LOVE ocean animals. Change the center into something that they are interested and excited to learn and you will see a higher level of play! You can get Aquarium Dramatic Play from my TPT store by clicking HERE. Check out our Aquarium!
Haven't done this theme before? No worries! I did all the research and planning for you. Included are planning pages to help you know what props to gather, print, and have students create. There is a 4 week unit plan with a book list and ideas to take the ocean theme all over your classroom.
Let's take a look at the aquarium in detail!
ticket, looks at the animals, takes pictures, and learns about the animals. To help students remember who does what you can create role charts (pictured above).
This is our big tank (on the wall in the center). You will get all the patterns to make all the ocean animals! Click HERE to see more about how students made the ocean animal crafts.
Look at the amazing clown fish exhibit a group of students made! Click HERE too see all about how students "researched" and made the exhibits preschool style! It was a fantastic way to integrate literacy and non-fiction books.
Students created many parts of the Aquarium. I closed the center for play for three days but open for craft, exhibit, and prop making. Don't feel that is all has to be finished when you open the center up for play, ours was not. It is a work in progress just like a real aquarium.
Aquarium makes integrating other learning domains EASY! Did you see all the writing experiences I embedded in their play? There are aquarists reports, receipts, food orders, and animal of the day signs to write. Science and math is everywhere at the aquarium!! Here are some of the math and life science concepts they will explore at the aquarium: Counting (1:1 correspondence, number recognition), Measurement (making comparisons, measuring with tools), Living things go through a cycle of growth (life cycles), Food Chains, Living things have physical characteristics (size, color, parts, etc.), and Living things have basic needs and what those basic needs are.
Included is a parent letter to introduce the theme and explain ALL the learning that occurs during play! I want parents to know that they are learning through play and value their play.
Want to have an aquarium in your classroom? Go grab Aquarium Dramatic Play by clicking on the cover!
Look at everything that is included!
Yes all the crafts are included or you can buy the Just the Crafts if you only want the ocean animal crafts.
I linked up with Kindergarten Dragons for Spotlight Saturday to spotlight our Aquarium! Go check out what other teachers are spotlighting in the classroom by clicking the cover.

AUGUSTUS JOHN CUTHBERT HARE
Views: 4938 4
Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (13 March 1834 – 22 January 1903) was an English writer and raconteur.
He was the youngest son of Francis George Hare of Herstmonceux, East Sussex, and Gresford, Flintshire, Wales, and nephew of Augustus William Hare and Julius Hare. Augustus Hare was born in Rome; later he was adopted by his aunt, the widow of Augustus Hare, and his parents renounced all further claim to him. His autobiography The Story of My Life details both a devotion to his adopted mother, Maria, and an intense unhappiness with his home education at Buckwell Place. He spent one year at Harrow School in 1847 but left due to ill health. In 1853, he matriculated at University College, Oxford, graduating in 1857 with a BA.

In 1958 the United Nuclear Corporation acquired 1,100 acres of land north of the village of Pawling for an experimental research lab. Fourteen years later, a chemical explosion released plutonium into the environment, and while no one was killed, the plant was closed down and its buildings razed. The surrounding area was decontaminated, and in 1979 sold to the National Park Service, who used the land around the lake to reroute the Appalachian Trail. The lake itself was initially off-limits to hikers, but it too was eventually cleared for recreation use, and since the 1990s has been open to the public.
