Unveiled with D6 in 2007, Documentum Foundation Services (DFS) was the service-oriented replacement for the Documentum Foundation Class (DFC) and the Microsoft specific Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) including lingering components of the original Documentum API still embedded within the DFC. With the announcement at EMC World that the new development environment will be a REST based API built on the DFC, Documentum customers might be wondering about the future of DFS. This post will discuss the different web services approaches and present some TSG thoughts on the subject of the DFS as well as the upcoming REST API.
Long-time developers with the DFC will understand that some of the underlying code that powers the DFC is the long-time (90's vintage) API created by the original Documentum developers. The original API was not Web-based, but instead powered more of a client/server architecture, complete with RPC messaging from the client to the server. As such, the DFC wasn't designed to meet the needs of a multi-threaded API appropriate for web applications. We had always heard certain rumors that remaining C-code was sometimes preventing the DFC from threading appropriately. The DFS was created with D6 to provide a true web-services layer from Documentum while removing these last, non-Java, components.
Readers should understand that the DFC, when built, leveraged the original Documentum Client Library (DMCL) API. To build the DFS, Documentum chose to replace both the DFC and DMCL API components from scratch. In Documentum release 6.5, the DMCL was removed and replaced with an emulator for backwards compatibility. The current limited functionality of DFS and the need to keep the DMCL API in some form speaks to the complexity and effort required to build a fully functional web services API. The depth and control the DFC provides the developers is labor intensive to recreate and the need for stability and performance makes the task even more difficult.
Like the upcoming Unified Web Interface, DFS development is not an activity funded by licensing. This is different from Webtop, CenterStage or xCP where the development can be justified by the sales of the product. DFS is an API replacement/enhancement development effort and like other infrastructure efforts, like current D7 release, it doesn't necessarily drive revenue.
What happened to xCP on DFS?
At 2010 EMC World, EMC announced that the upcoming release of xCP was going to be ported to DFS. At the time, TSG recommended waiting until the release was complete as we saw this effort as a major reworking of the xCP platform (currently based on a combination of WDK/DFC/DFS). From the announcement at this year's EMC World that xCP will be built on new REST API sometime late 2012, it seems that the full DFS effort for xCP was either never started or aborted midway.
OpenContent is built on the DFC due to timing as well as the need to work with D5 versions of Documentum. DFS was mostly built to work only on D6 and above.
OpenContent was enhanced client by client based on new needs and interface components from our HPI interface. DFS was built as a developer tool only.
OpenContent was built to access a variety of repositories (Alfresco, Documentum, SharePoint…) and had to remove all Documentum specific components (ex: DQL).
We didn't have the complexity of getting rid of the DFC. We were confident that the DFC was stable and could perform based on a wide variety of experience with clients.
We had each client pushing us for stability and performance.
We had an interface (mostly HPI, but Active Wizard later) pushing us for enhancements to OpenContent.
We needed the web services to work with a variety of ECM platforms, not just Documentum.
Currently, only the MyDocumentum suite is fully based on the DFS. CenterStage was to be based on the DFS but had issues with certain requirements that the DFS was not meeting causing the CenterStage team to develop their own web services. It is our understanding (this is more rumor mill than any announcement) is that the CenterStage experience was one of the factors that led internally to develop the REST API on the DFC.
One issue of concern for long-term DFS usage is that lack of an interface to push out existing functionality outside of the MyDocumentum suite. With the Unified Client Interface moving to the new REST API, we are concerned that DFS will not be enhanced or updated based on a Documentum interface, but rather, just based on user custom development, whether that be clients or Documentum consulting with the SharePoint thing (add name and link).
Similar to our thoughts on the other announcements at EMC World 2011, we would recommend a "wait and see" attitude in regards to figuring out what to do in regards to the DFS. With CMIS and REST coming, it is hard to commit to DFS as it appears Documentum's new development effort will be focused in other directions.
We still recommend something like OpenContent for clients looking for Web Services for Documentum or other repositories for clients that understand the benefits of an Open Source layer between their application and underlying ECM repository.
We had a Web Service based on DFC that needed to be replaced with a next-generation capability. In 2009, we built the new service with DFS and it was a disaster. DFS would work fine and then suddenly lock up, causing severe customer-facing issues in our applications. We worked with EMC support and rolled it out a few times, but had to beat a retreat in each case. We retrofitted the new service with DFC calls and nearly all of the issues went away. There's no way that we would go back to DFS.
We use DFS 6.6 in our solution quite heavily to search, download, upload & update metadata and are quite happy with the stability and performance of the solution.
In-fact we even belive that the performance will improve if the DFS consumer were multi-threaded) – i.e. the bottleneck is not with DFS but with the consumer.
I guess over time (2009 to 2011) it must have improved.
I think it has to have improved since D2 and new XCP will be based on DFS. It is curious how, last year at EMC World, the new RESTful API's built on the DFC were almost going to replace it. Maybe they have worked out the bugs that disappointed so many of the early users.
the new xcp is built on restful services from what I understand…maybe I'm mistaken.

THAITANIUM
Thaitanium comprises of five proud sons of Siam with different backgrounds – Khanngeon "KHAN" Nuanual, Prinya "WAY" Intachai, Naymyo "DAY" Thant, Jason "BIG CALO" Roth, and Watana "DJAYBUDDAH" Watanachaiyot who are considered to be pioneers of Thailand's hip hop industry.
KHAN and DAY are Thai nationals by birth, WAY, was born and raised in New York as with DJAYBUDDAH, and the youngest member of the group, BIG CALO was raised in Tampa, Florida.
KHAN and DAY first forged their friendship as a DJ/MC duo hosting jump off house parties in the San Francisco hip-hop scene, where the pair had both emigrated as young teens to pursue their education and to realize their dream to become musicians. While in Bangkok working on his solo album, KHAN made the acquaintance of WAY, then a young upstart Thai-American artist. From this meeting, the idea of a three-man, Thai hip hop group was born in Bangkok, eventually moving to New York in 2000, where their varied regional influences have since been heard in each album produced and released. In 2006, the addition of BIG CALO, WAY's childhood friend and aspiring rapper, and DJAYBUDDAH, already a prominent DJ in New York City, were both added to the group.
Since then, Thaitanium and its parent label, Thaitanium Enertainment Inc., have produced their first two albums, AA and Thai Riders, which were exclusively self-promoted, launching them to the forefront of the Asia music industry while gaining a huge following in Thailand and the rest of Asia. Their follow up albums, P77 and RAS were subsequently distributed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, where RAS, aka "Resisting Against Da System" attracted the interest of Grammy, a major player in the domestic Thai entertainment.
For the past 13 years, Thaitanium has been carving out a solid niche and reputation as one of the biggest and most successful hip hop groups in Asia through their unique blend of Thai and New York street sounds. The result has seen Thaitanium perform across Thailand, Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe, Australia and America, where they have been the opening acts for some of the world's biggest hip hop artists, such as Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Far East Movement, Nas, Sean Kingston, Flo Rida and 50 Cent on his "Get Rich or Die Trying" world tour with Fort Minor.
2010 marked Thaitanium's 10-year anniversary and the release of a double album "Still Resisting", where they worked for the first time with international producers and artists such as the legendary producer DJ Clark Kent and LiL Fame from rap group M.O.P. The individual members of Thaitanium are simultaneously working on a variety of independent projects ranging from clothing lines, acting, modeling, as well as publishing and film.
Their last concert tour took place in four U.S. cities in 2013 and they most recently performed at the Music Tornado Festival in Japan in March this year.
They have received a number of accolades including the "Best Hip Hop Group" award at the Independent Asian Music Awards (AVIMA) 2009 and "Best Group" award at You2play Awards 2012. They were also nominated for "Favorite Artist Thailand" at the MTV Asia Awards 2006.

Getting A Car Is the New Normal
May 30, 2018 Joe Lee
A recent research shows that millennials weigh new cars over travelling abroad.
The German car industry has been dominating the world for a significant period of time, followed by a thriving car servicing industry that attracts a regular group of car owners who love their cars over public transport. In the essence, car services such as car repairing, maintenance, MOT testing, Road Assistance as well as Business and Fleet Service are the reasons why people still want to own a car.
Services that count
Unsurprisingly, everyone wants to enjoy the best service while driving his dream car at an optimal level. At Mercedes Hinhead's service spot, there are three things attracting the "ME" generation who wants to have tailor-made services to make a day well spent.
As easy as it sounds, it's probably the most convenient option to "drop & go"–dropping the car off at the service spot to begin a hectic day in the morning. At the expense of the professional team, the car owner can collect his car later during the day, without spending much time to actually wait for the regular process of maintenance and repairing.
If hustle and bustle is no option for a layback person, then the lounge inside the service point is a fantastic way to look for the excellent service offered by Mercedes Hinhead. Nowadays, the benchmark of services raises above, just giving out the best practice to deliver the product, but the humanistic element is also crucial to ensure the basic needs of the customers are fulfilled such as getting a free Wi-Fi, being served refreshments, and, if applicable, taking care of their kids with a kid's zone.
When driving comes to the core of actions, Mercedes Hinhead also gives out a loan car to the customers who dropped off their cars at the service point. They can always come back when the cars are ready.
Millennials care more about the glamourous appearance of machinery, like everyone does, and prefer experts who can back them up whenever their dream cars do not function well. Mercedes Hinhead has built up a service system which encompasses a wide range of services needed from an interim service to a simple vehicle health check-up.
With expert advice at an affordable price, Mercedes Hinhead's team offers gleaming workshops across Poole, Guildford, and Basingstoke, ensuring that the MOT test of the new car will be passed with vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in the UK.
Behind the pleasure of owning a car, there is always a possibility of breaking down at the roadside. A dedicated service team of Mercedes Hinhead in the UK comes to their customers wherever they are, and offers a range of road assistance, including hotel assistance, on-the-spot repairs, and a replacement car.
Like any millennial who loves cars, the team loves that, too. With more than 30 years of experience, as a genuine Mercedes-Benz retailer, Mercedes Hinhead provides rigorous safety checks with trained technicians to ensure exceptional levels of customer service and after sale services.
Perhaps, the most successful formula of getting the millennials to fall in love with the idea of owning a car is the combination of dedicated services and expert supports offered by Mercedes Hinhead, the British car retailer of Sandown Smart and Mercedes-Benz.

The last miller stopped grinding wheat to start selling beer back in 1904, so the sails are long gone, but the attractive roundhouse still stands next to the white-painted pub, and old millstones can be spotted in the fireplaces. Owners Mick and Lydia are in charge nowadays, serving up ales including Braintree-based Bishop Nick and Greene King IPA from Suffolk. Lydia works front of house while Mick conjures up originality and fabulous flavours in the kitchen. Experience with Ramsay and with Daniel Clifford are put to good effect using local ingredients - delicious native lobster ravioli or Shalford pork and chorizo Scotch egg to start, a rich roast rump of Essex lamb with celeriac or pan-fried sea bream to follow. Sit contentedly by the roaring log burner or on the laneside terrace, and match the food with a good wine list. A real find.
The Essex Way, which is a walking track that spans the whole of Essex, is right next to the pub.
"Just what the area needed . Superb food & service . A very relaxing place to visit to have a drink or dine . Mick & Lydia have got the passion , self discipline , attention to detail & knowledge to make "The Windmill "a very special place to visit . Not easy to create the relaxed atmosphere, that they have created in such a short space of time . It is now well & truly on the gourmet map . Watch this space at "The Windmill", looking forward to the next phase. We wish them every success, so well deserved & a credit to them both !!!! "

ELDs have caused quite a bit of controversy this past year; however, experts are saying that the mandate has shined a light on HOS and detention causing a tighter collaboration between carriers and shippers. ELDs are Allowing Carriers and Shippers to collaborate. Now that the industry has ELDs, people can more closely calculate the effects excessive detention has on productivity—causing shippers to maintain efficiency at the warehouse level to increase turn-around time. Sam Hough, Executive Vice President and COO for Covenant Transport Services, said, "We have been fortunate to develop deep-seated relationships with customers that allow transparency, which promotes empathy and a greater understanding of how to use a professional driver's hours better." Additionally, the enforcement of the ELD mandate forced poor-quality performers out of the industry in the sense that they were not typically compliant with HOS regulations and were oftentimes responsible for a higher number of incidents. Research Vice President for Transportation Technology at Gartner, Bart De Muynck, said that ELDs "actually drove capacity out of the industry," but the shakeout of carriers was overall beneficial as "the worst of the worst left the industry." ELDs are also benefiting ELDs are Allowing Carriers and Shippers to Collaborate arms, as access to real-time data sets can allow for more accurate assumptions on available capacity. President of SJ Consulting Group, Satish Jindel, said he believes ELDs will also provide fleets with a new set of predictive analytics that will give them the tools to analyze the best opportunities. According to De Muynck, freight brokers will also benefit from real-time analytics provided from ELDs, allowing them to better predict when and where capacity will become available.

Jalen Harvey is a hard hitting safety for Arizona State. I love this kids attitude, because he is a game changer.
My hometown of Richmond, California is located about 15 miles from San Francisco. It's a small city, rich in culture the population of culture is majority Black and Spanish. It's a very close community and the people who are in the city have lived there for years. Most people who move away for school usually go back to give support to the city. I love most about the city is its belief in the model of having "Pride & Purpose". It's a community of people that show support to everyone regardless of race.
• Film Study, Practice and Strength and Conditioning.
Film because it helps me to spend time reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of my opponents before each game. I chose practice second because, once I study film I review the film session with my teammates and coach to rehearse the game play that we have set against the opponent. I chose Strength and Conditioning third because it prepares me to outwork my opponent physically and helps to build stamina.
The wellbeing of my family, why because they are very important to me.
My first year of College I struggled at understanding the play book. I continued to study and in my Sophomore year I was better prepared as a player.
My determination to achieve a goal that I set.
I would like to work as a College coach, and it would definitely be supporting my community and giving back to the people who helped me along the way.
Room, then desk and car.
Family member, because they are my family and I don't know who the strangers are.
Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) in the Equalizer, he was a man who was living a quiet life until he realized that people who were helpless needed his help. He came out of retirement and decided to make sure that the people who were hurting others didn't hurt them anymore.
When I broke my collarbone in my Sophomore year of college. I was ready to play, I studied the playbook, I was confident and during a scrimmage game I was hit during a route and it caused a break in my collarbone, which I later had to have surgery. It was very difficult for me because I thought my college career in football was over. With Surgery and Physical Therapy and my determination to work on healing my body, I returned and played the last month in my Sophomore season.
My senior year of High School, week three I was playing against a well-known team named Campolindo High School and I was dropping every pass thrown to me, and the CAL Berkeley coaches were in attendance.
Coming off my injury sophomore year of college, playing against our rivals Arizona University and scored a touchdown.
It would be my Grandfather on my Dad side, his name is James Harvey. He died before he could see me play in my High School and College years, he has also been a very important person in my life, since I was a kid.
I would rather be respected. Respect goes a long way and is consistent.
Ryan Shazier, because he can no longer play football due to a football injury. He was a good player and to have his career end like it did, it hit home for many people.
I would have to say my Mother, because she has worked hard all her life to provide and give me a great life. She has been supportive and has allowed me to make the choices that have made me the man I am today. She always says just work hard and always be confident.

Dual-registration return is pointless and threatens to do more harm than good
Dual-registration will return in 2022 - though the purpose of it remains to be seen.

Anyone who has kept tabs across my scribes over the years will know too well that I am not a fan of dual-registration.
If there was one positive to come out of these weird Covid times it was the controversial concept was abolished.
But in 2022 it is back - and seemingly with a vengeance. Several Super League clubs have confirmed partnerships for the coming campaign with Hull FC, Hull KR, Leeds and Wigan partnering with Bradford, Dewsbury, Featherstone and Newcastle respectively.
Other partnerships are likely to be drawn up too, Halifax and Huddersfield have close relations and other clubs are likely to forge before the season starts.
Hull KR quotes of 2021: Revelations, big decisions and fury
Luke Gale dons new Hull FC jersey for the first time as debut draws closer
Let's be clear, dual-registration can work if it is implemented correctly. There are many success stories to come from the concept. Harry Newman starred for Featherstone before breaking into the Leeds Rhinos team and Liam Marshall spent a full season on dual-registration with Swinton Lions back in 2016 and is now a bonafide Super League winger with Wigan.
But every success story to come out of dual-registration relates to a young player making their first strides in the professional game. Sadly, all too often the system was not used as intended. Among the dual-reg alumni are Lee Briers, Adrian Morley and Matty Smith. Danny Richardson was shipped to the Championship a year after making the Super League Dream Team, there are countless examples similar.
It was damaging to the Championship on many fronts - the integrity of the competition was diminished when ringers were randomly drafted in, often for important games. Financially it hurt many a part-time player whose contracts are often based on appearance and win bonuses, but would then miss out as they'd been replaced by a Super League player after a few minutes under the belt.
The worst thing was that in many cases, the players dropping down didn't like the concept either. Hull KR forward George King was among those who voiced his disdain for the concept while he was at Warrington Wolves as a young forward.
What makes its return even more bizarre is that it will now intertwine with reserve grade, a competition brought in specifically to help young talent transition from academy rugby to first grade. Dual-reg was always seen as a solution, albeit a poor one, to the sport's lack of an old 'A-Team' league. Now it has returned but still dual-reg has survived without any real purpose or unique benefit to either player or club.
The continuation of dual-reg actually threatens to diminish the quality of the reserve grade competition. If every Super League club's best players not to make a matchday 17 get their minutes in the Championship, it will take some of the best players who should be in reserve grade out of that competition. The knock-on effect is that the younger players in need of taking on established Super League players don't get that opportunity. Existing together only seems to be damaging to the other.
You can't blame the receiving clubs for taking advantage of the concept. You just have to question what the parent clubs are getting out of it.
It will be interesting to see how the concept plays out. If Super League clubs use the system to send the same players out for the vast duration of the season, then no harm is done. There will be certain cases where players need to play at first-grade level to aid their benefit, rather than the halfway house provided in the reserve league. All the success stories to come out of dual-registration are of players who ended up spending prolonged periods with the partner club.
However, if the same manipulation of the system rears its ugly head, with big-name players randomly rocking up for a game here or there, expect aggrievement and criticism aplenty.

I tried to place my first order with ITM and their system charged my credit card for the purchase, but then instantly kicked the payment back to my card. That may sound like no big deal but it put a pending charge on my card and they did this 12 times, which maxed out my credit card. I tried working with them for 2 days as they kept blaming my credit card for the error. After 2 days, they stopped returning my calls.

Apple is Rethinking Its High-end Desktop
By Bharat Mamtora / Apple / No Comments
The cylindrical desktop tower by Apple – Mac Pro was intended for a professional content creation audience. Mac Pro was introduced to much fanfare in 2013. But it has remained essentially unchanged ever since.
Mac Pro.
The 2013 Mac Pro shunned the more familiar PC tower design of its predecessor. This allowed for easily user-upgradable drive bays, memory and graphic cards. The unique tubular design 2013 system meant only a handful of components could be updated later on. Even those components were difficult to access.
Mac Pro With An Upgrade.
Apple's Senior Vice-President of Worldwide Marketing, Phil Schiller, confirmed that there is a new Mac Pro in the pipeline, during a briefing at the company's Machine Shop hardware prototyping lab.
This month, Apple updated the processors and RAM on the Mac Pro. The company also revealed that an entirely new Mac Pro desktop design is in the works. That sounds like something close to the classic desktop tower Mac Pro. But that future system isn't still close to current. It's said to be coming at some unspecified time after 2017. This recent announcement was made as a part of a one-two punch of Pro-level update announcements.
What Can We Expect?
Apple's thinking of giving the Mac Pro a new twist. It could revolve around a modular design that will be able to pack in top-end processors for ultimate performance. The most powerful graphics chips and the ability to install and upgrade new components are along the way.
Apple's launch last year of the new MacBook Pro range saw a new feature being launched with the Touch Bar, but also a resetting of the price point. This tends to happen with any major shift in the MacBook Pro range. It keeps the margins high and as components become cheaper over the years the price can drop while the profit remains.
The entry-level $2,999 model of Mac Pro included a quad-core 3.7GHz Intel Xeon processor. It had 12GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and AMD D300 FirePro graphics.
Earlier this month, that $2,999 base model was updated. Now it includes 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 processor. It comes with 16GB 1,866MHz DDR3 ECC memory and 256GB PCIe-based flash storage. It now has Dual AMD FirePro D500.
Interesting Desktop.
The step-up version now gets you an 8-core CPU and Dual AMD FirePro D700 video cards. The step-up version is available for $1,000. Mac Pro is a very interesting desktop with some notable features. It has an impressive aesthetic design. It's a potentially good choice if you need desktop-level power in a very portable package. It will be very useful for travel or on-location video editing work.
Apart From Mac Pro.
If you don't want to wait for 2018 or beyond for a new Mac desktop. They are expected sometime this year. These already offer 5K screen options, but very limited CPU/GPU choices. A more Pro-friendly iMac could potentially improve on those and bridge the gap between more consumer-level Macs (and MacBook laptops) and the very high-end, very expensive Mac Pro desktop.

How Big Business Is Driving Social Change
Organizations of all sizes realize that corporate social responsibility plays a role in who consumers choose to do business with.
In today's socially conscious world, businesses of all sizes are proudly taking public stands on issues such as the environment, human rights, fair trade, and even ethical practices. While "cause-based" corporate missions were once associated with smaller companies and brands, large corporations are now taking advantage of their power and reach to communicate their positions on corporate social responsibility to their massive consumer bases—and to society at large. In this proactive stance, big business is actually driving social change, not just reacting to it.
The list of socially responsible companies is quickly growing as management discovers that being socially responsible is good for the bottom line. A few familiar names include Burt's Bees, TOMS Shoes, Whole Foods, General Electric, Kenneth Cole, The Body Shop, Ben & Jerry's, and even industry giants like Google, Microsoft, and Disney.Here are three examples of companies using their business and socially-aware consumer base as a platform to drive social change:
Starbucks: A pioneer in corporate social responsibility, Starbucks was started in 1971 with a mission of conducting business while acting responsibly and ethically. The main focus of the multibillion-dollar company is on the sustainable production of green coffee—as evidenced by Starbucks' Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices sustainability standards.
More recently, Starbucks began selling Ethos® Water to help raise awareness of the more than one billion people worldwide who lack access to clean water. A percentage of every Ethos® purchase goes to the company's Ethos® Water Fund, and is distributed via grants to support water, sanitation, and hygiene education programs worldwide. So far, millions of dollars in grant funding have helped more than 500,000 people in water-stressed countries.*
Method: The rise of this eco-friendly home and personal care products company ($100 million in annual revenues by 2012) is another example of how big business is driving social change. Founders and former roommates Adam Lowry and Eric Ryan made green cleaning fashionable with their beautifully designed biodegradable bottles and natural ingredients. Several years ago, Method developed the world's first bottles made with a blend of recovered beach plastic and post-consumer recycled plastic.†
Pedigree: Socially responsible Pedigree dog food built its brand by focusing on the need for people to adopt homeless dogs. That mission has become the message in their advertising. Pedigree encourages people to adopt, make donations that fund shipments of Pedigree dog food to shelter animals waiting to be adopted, and buy Dogs Rule® gear, the proceeds of which go directly to helping homeless dogs find loving homes.
Social Responsibility Is No Longer Optional
In its latest annual survey, Nielsen reported that almost two-thirds (66%) of consumers are willing to pay more for products or services from companies committed to positive social change and environmental impact. The statistic represents a sizable jump from 55% in 2014.‡ This trend has sparked business professionals' interest in furthering their education with Master of Business Administration (MBA degree) programs and doctoral degree programs such as the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)—particularly those offering social change-focused specializations such as social impact management.
Online business management degree programs with a focus on social change teach master's and doctoral students how to apply cutting-edge research to find real-world business solutions to today's most important issues. With executive-level critical thinking and problem-solving skills, graduates can better prepare to help organizations identify, develop, and implement social change goals that support the world around them—as well as their bottom line.
Career options for online MBA and DBA graduates include a variety of leadership roles in settings that include private and nonprofit sectors in numerous business markets, government and nongovernment agencies, and more.

Mathletics competition is about the application of Math to solve everyday engineering problems. The questions reflect the grades 5 to 8 primary school math curriculum. Our AMD Mathletics competition was held on Saturday November 16 at Sir William Mulock Secondary School. The event started promptly at 1 PM with opening remarks from Mr. I-Cheng Chen, Engineering Fellow at AMD.
90 young and bright students from York Region Primary Schools participated in this year's competition. They individually solved engineering problems by applying their math skills and providing their numeric and multiple choice answers with wireless clickers. The competition had three parts, Round 1, AMD Challenge and Round 2. AMD Challenge questions were related to Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) technology from AMD. The grand prize included a laptop with an AMD APU processor. There were other prizes for the top three Junior and Senior Level competitors.
AMD and Education Committee team members organized booths with fun and creative activities during the break time. Students participated in a face challenge contest where they made silly faces in front of the PC screen with an avatar that mimic their faces. They also visited the Education Committee booth with information and video about Design Challenge competition that is held during the National Engineering Month at York Region. They won additional prizes by participating in these two activities.

Vice Admiral Benjamin Abraham 'Chippy' Samson, PVSM (25 September 1916 – 18 March 2008) was an Indian Navy Admiral who served as the Flag Officer Commanding Indian Fleet from 8 January 1964 to 31 May 1966. He was the first Naval Officer to serve as the Commandant of the National Defence Academy. His daughter is the famous Bharatanatyam dancer, Leela Samson.

Early life
Samson was born on 25 September 1916, in Poona in Bombay Presidency, to Abraham Samuel Samson Killekar and Sarah Shalom Bapuji Israel Wargharkar. The Samson family was a part of the Bene Israel community which has base from villages in the Konkan area of western Maharashtra near Mumbai and resided in the Ohel David Synagogue. Benjamin was the seventh of 10 children. He attended the St. Vincent's High School in Poona. He left to join the Navy right after school.

Naval career

Dufferin and mercantile marine
The Indian Mercantile Marine Training Ship (IMMTS) Dufferin was established in 1927 to train young men for India's marine service. Samson joined the Dufferin in December 1931 and graduated in December 1934. He then joined the British India Steam Navigation Company in 1934 as a cadet.

World War II
In September 1939, with the outbreak of the World War II, he was absorbed into the Royal Indian Navy as a Sub-lieutenant. He served on the auxiliary patrol vessel HMIS Dipavati. He later commanded another patrol vessel HMIS Laxmi.

He served aboard the Frigate HMIS Indus which was on convoy escort duty in the Red Sea and off the coast of Ethiopia. He was transferred to the frigate HMIS Hindustan in 1941, which was part of an escort for a troop convoy from Ceylon to Rangoon. Samson was then selected to undergo a torpedo course and he proceeded to England. He specialised in Anti-submarine warfare. After the completion of the course, he was posted to the light cruiser HMS Newcastle.

Post-Independence
Upon the Independence of India, he held the rank of Lieutenant Commander and was the Commanding Officer of . Samson was promoted to acting Commander with effect from 30 June 1948 and was appointed the First Naval Adviser to the High Commissioner of India to the United Kingdom. The High Commissioner then was V. K. Krishna Menon, who later served as the Minister of Defence. He served as the Naval Advisor at London from May 1948 to December 1950 and was promoted acting Captain on 1 January 1950. It was during this time that HMS Rotherham was bought and became the destroyer .

In early 1951 Samson took over as the Commander (Executive Officer) of the Flagship of the Indian Navy, the cruiser . Delhi was under the command of Captain S. G. Karmarkar. Samson then took over as the Chief of Personnel at Naval Headquarters, New Delhi. On 31 December 1953, Samson was promoted to substantive Captain.

In 1954 he moved from Naval HQ to sea command and became the Flag Captain of . He simultaneously served as the Chief Staff Officer to the Flag Officer Commanding (Flotilla) Indian Fleet. He commanded the Flagship INS Delhi for three years. As Flag Captain, he served under three Fleet Commanders - Rear Admirals F A Ballance, St John Tyrwhitt and Ram Dass Katari. After handing over command of Delhi to Captain P. S. Mahindroo, he assumed the office of Captain Superintendent Naval Dockyard Mumbai.

Flag Rank
Samson was promoted to acting Rear Admiral and appointed as the first Naval Commandant of the National Defence Academy, assuming office on 27 December 1958. Promoted substantive rear admiral on 22 November 1962, he was the Reviewing Officer of the Passing Out Parade of the 23rd course on 7 December 1962. In April 1962, he was appointed the next Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff (DCNS), succeeding Rear Admiral Adhar Kumar Chatterji. Since he was the Commandant of NDA, he was to take up this appointment by the end of the year. Commodore S M Nanda was to temporarily officiate as the DCNS. However, his posting as DCNS was cancelled and he was selected to attend the Imperial Defence College. He demitted office of Commandant NDA on 31 December 1962 and proceeded to London.

On 31 December 1963, while still doing the course at the Imperial Defence College, he was appointed the Flag Officer Commanding Indian Fleet (FOCIF). Rear Admiral Samson took over as the FOCIF on 4 January 1964. In his own words, "This to me was the perfect culmination of my naval career – commanding a fleet of several fine warships at sea." He flew his flag on his old ship, the INS Delhi for a couple of days before transferring to the new . On 26 January 1966, for his tenure as FOCIF, he was awarded the Param Vishisht Seva Medal (then called Vishisht Seva Medal, Class I).

After commanding the Indian Fleet for about two and a half years, Samson retired on 22 November 1966.

Later life
Post retirement, Samson had a successful business career. He served as the CEO of the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders from 1966 to 1973. During this time, he led the Frigate project. The first Indian built Frigate -  was built by the Mazagaon Dock and handed over to the Indian Navy. The then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi commissioned INS Nilgiri on 3 June 1972. In a rare gesture, on 3 June 1972 Samson was promoted to the honorary rank of Vice Admiral for his outstanding contribution to the Frigate project and the Mazagaon Dock.

He then served as the Chairman of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Chairman of Philips India and Vice Chairman of Damodar Bulk Carriers.

For most people planning on taking an African safari, the biggest benefit of this type of trip is being able to unplug from the digital world. While it can be nice to get away from the pressures of being connected 24/7, there are certain gadgets that you should be sure to take on your African safari so that you can make the most of your trip.
By packing the right technology, you can document every important moment of your safari and remember your trip long after you've returned home. Here are a few gadgets that you should take with you on your African safari so that you can fully remember your once in a lifetime vacation.
Before you go on your African safari, you should give some thought to upgrading your smartphone. Phone technology advances by leaps and bounds every single year, which means upgrading your phone can give you access to technology that will improve your enjoyment of your trip.
For instance, most new model cell phones include high-quality cameras that take crystal clear pictures, which can be a great way to photograph your trip. In addition, new smartphones often have security measures like thumbprint readers, providing extra security for your gadget and your personal information. If you've been delaying purchasing a new smartphone, buying one before your African safari can be a good decision.
Another gadget that you should think about taking on your vacation is a tablet. Many people want to make sure they have a mobile computing option when they go on a vacation, and a tablet is a much more convenient option than trying to pack your laptop for your safari.
Taking a tablet on your safari provides a variety of advantages. For starters, if you're taking an overland safari, you can load up your tablet with movies, books, and music so that you're entertained while driving between destinations. Tablets can also be used to edit and upload photos and videos from your trip, allowing your friends and family back home to follow your adventures.
Tablets are also extremely lightweight, which is a big benefit when you're trying to pack lightly. When you have an internet connection, you can also use your tablet to make calls back home, which is great when you're going on an extended safari.
If you're the type of person that likes to take as many pictures as possible on their vacation, then a gadget you may want to take on your safari is a high-end digital camera. With a digital camera, you can take thousands of pictures in high-resolution, meaning you won't miss a single moment of your vacation.
When you're packing your camera, you should make sure you have the best equipment possible. Bring along multiple memory cards so that you can be sure you never run out of picture storage, and you may want to invest in a DSLR lens so that you're ready to shoot in every situation.
Bring along these gadgets and you'll be able to have a great time on your next African safari.


NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Sigonella provides logistics support to local customers and U.S. ships operating in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations. The theater logistics network is geographically dispersed, and dynamic, which enables rapid response to world events and shifting operational requirements throughout the European and African operating areas.
As wide as the continental United States, the Mediterranean Sea is the traditional backbone of NAVSUP FLC Sigonella's logistics infrastructure. The command uses the hub and spoke concept, where NAVSUP FLC Sigonella Site Sigonella, Italy is the hub and NAVSUP FLC Sigonella Sites Rota and Madrid, Spain; Souda Bay and Athens, Greece; Naples, Gaeta, and Rome, Italy are the spokes. These sites not only support ships operating in the Mediterranean Sea but also in the Black Sea, Adriatic Sea, North Sea, North Atlantic, the Baltics, and the vast expanse of the land and waters surrounding Africa. This creates significant logistics challenges with respect to timeliness of materiel movement.
Flight availability, aircraft pallet configuration, trucking contracts, country-specific customs restrictions, hazardous material (HAZMAT) restrictions, threat conditions, inclement weather, fuel availability, and shipboard evolutions are all critical factors that must be assessed by multiple stakeholders when moving materiel to meet fleet requirements.
NAVSUP FLC Sigonella logistics support officers (LSOs) are uniquely trained to support fleet requirements from enduring bases as well as provide support to austere locations such as Dakar, Senegal or to an established port like Portsmouth, England. An experienced LSO recognizes what the requirements are, where local assets are, and how to surge personnel appropriately to meet the requirement.
In the 2014 to 2017 timeframe, U.S. aircraft carrier deployments typically followed the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) cycle. The OFRP cycle is 36 months and consists of maintenance, training, and a regularly scheduled seven-month deployment followed by 15 months of surge capability. Carrier deployments typically involved transiting from the United States through U.S. 6th Fleet in order to operate out of U.S. 5th Fleet. The carrier operates in U.S. 5th Fleet for a five to six-month period before transiting back to the United States through U.S. 6th Fleet. As carrier strike groups began to support Operation Inherent Resolve from the Mediterranean Sea, U.S. 6th Fleet employed the strike groups' other assets for missions that support our NATO allies and partners while demonstrating commitment to the region.
Fleet deployments are increasing in areas where there is no enduring U.S. Navy infrastructure. U.S. 6th Fleet is conducting extended operations in austere and expeditionary locations far away from FLC infrastructure. This created a demand for a new logistics approach to supporting the warfighter.
During its seven-month deployment in 2017, USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) followed the OFRP cycle. NAVSUP FLC Sigonella supported three port visits for the ship, two of which occurred over 600 miles from the nearest FLC support site. The last George H. W. Bush port visit of 2017 was in Portsmouth, England, where the ship participated in exercise Saxon Warrior 17.
As the U.S. Navy does not have an enduring logistics footprint in the U.K., NAVSUP FLC Sigonella, in conjunction with the NAVSUP Enterprise, deployed a 13-person logistics response team (LRT) to support fleet and exercise requirements. The LRT concept was organized through the coordinated effort of NAVSUP FLC Sigonella, NAVSUP Global Logistics Support, U.S. 6th Fleet, Commander–Task Force 63 (CTF-63), the U.S. Air Force, and the British Royal Navy. LSOs, transportation officers, contracting officers, and logistics specialists were all key members of the Saxon Warrior LRT.
NAVSUP FLC Sigonella chose Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildenhall as a temporary U.K. hub, and strategically selected temporary U.K. spokes near George H.W. Bush's Carrier Strike Group operating areas, British Royal Navy assets, and U.S. Air Force supporting infrastructure. Cargo and mail from the U.S. arrived at NAVSUP FLC Sigonella (permanent hub) and was then forwarded to RAF Mildenhall (temporary hub) for further transfer to U.K. spokes near ship operating areas.
In 2018, the Secretary of Defense introduced the Dynamic Force Employment (DFE) concept, which is complimentary to OFRP, and allows us to be strategically predictable while remaining operationally unpredictable in an era of great power competition. This concept will improve readiness, allowing for combat capable forces to deploy on short notice.
Mirroring George H.W. Bush's deployment, NAVSUP FLC Sigonella supported USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) for two port visits during her 2018 DFE deployment. Building upon the insight gained from exercise Saxon Warrior in 2017, NAVSUP FLC Sigonella deployed an operational support augmentation (OSA) team to the U.K. in 2018 to support Harry S. Truman's Carrier Strike Group. This evolution was longer in duration than the LRT used during Saxon Warrior.
NAVSUP FLC Sigonella active duty military and civilian personnel, in coordination with U.S. based NAVSUP FLCs and NAVSUP FLC Sigonella Reserve detachment personnel, established a forward logistics site at RAF Mildenhall with tremendous logistics support from the U.S. Air Force 100th Wing and the 727th Logistics Readiness Squadron.
Carrier strike group cargo routing was shifted to RAF Mildenhall and OSA personnel received, sorted, and staged materiel in preparation for onward movement via CTF-63 flights, C-2 Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) flights, or trucks to ultimate destinations. All cargo was received and dispatched using the In-Transit Visibility (ITV) system Automated Mobility System-Tactical (AMS-TAC) which provided continuous cargo tracking. U.S. mail was routed to London, and trucked to RAF Alconbury where it was sorted for truck shipment to RAF Mildenhall. Once the bulk mail was received at RAF Mildenhall, the mail was sorted for each unit and then prepared for shipment. Mail on hand reports were consolidated with the cargo on hand reports to keep all units informed on their materiel staged at RAF Mildenhall and subsequent shipping.
NAVSUP FLC Sigonella is continuing to explore new logistics support approaches and is working with U.S. 6th Fleet to find more permanent solutions to logistics support in the Baltic and high north regions.

Montserrat Martínez Soler is a remarkable woman. She has been at the forefront of the campaign to discover the truth about the mass graves that contain the remains of Republicans and leftists killed by Franco's forces during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and his regime that followed. Estimates suggest the fascists killed as many as 300,000 political opponents, imprisoned some 500,000 people and forced a similar number into exile. There has never been an official investigation into these atrocities.
Montserrat's grandfather Juan Soler was killed during the battle of Vic in February 1939, as Franco's forces made their final push towards the Catalan capital of Barcelona. Juan, who lived and worked in the town of Gavà, a few miles to the southwest of Barcelona, volunteered to take part in the defence of the capital's northern approaches but was then killed. Juan and three of his comrades from Gavà were buried in a common grave with a number of other unknown soldiers on the mountainside at Gurb near Vic.
In the video that accompanies this article Montserrat begins by explaining to World Socialist Web Site reporter Vicky Short how, days after Juan's death, his wife (Montserrat's grandmother) approached the bishop of Vic to allow him a Christian burial in his home town but was told, "they were enemies, they were Reds and couldn't be buried in a cemetery."
For the next 70 years, Montserrat continues, successive generations of Juan Soler's family made an annual visit to the grave at Gurb to make repairs and lay flowers on it in an attempt to keep his memory alive. She explains how it was impossible to do much more during the years of the dictatorship, and that even after Franco's death in 1975 with the "transition to democracy" it was still difficult.
During the transition, the Socialist Party (PSOE) and the Communist Party (PCE) upheld the interests of Spanish capitalism and allowed the fascists to go unpunished and protected. It was they who agreed to the 1977 law granting the fascists an amnesty and a tacit "pact of forgetting" about their crimes. Montserrat remembers being told at the time, "Well at present...let's start over anew, and we have to forget the past."
In the video, Montserrat recounts how a few years ago a movement began for a "Democratic Memorial" to those who had been killed in the Civil War, which encouraged her to pursue her grandfather's case. She says her determination increased when the Popular Party (PP) government under José María Aznar announced it was proposing to bring back from Russia the bodies of fascists who had fought in the Blue Division alongside the Nazis in the Second World War.
Rising hostility towards the PP erupted in the 2004 election, when it emerged that the PP had lied in accusing Basque nationalists of responsibility for the Madrid train bombings in order to conceal the link between the bombings and Spain's participation in the Iraq war. The PP was swept from office and the PSOE under José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was brought to power.
From the outset Zapatero was acutely conscious that his government confronted a leftward movement of the Spanish working class. This was expressed in the demands for some kind of reckoning with Franco's heirs and the growth of historical memory societies. Zapatero's government tried to appease this movement with a Law of Historical Memory in 2007, but its provisions were minimal. The burden was placed on the families of victims to initiate proceedings, and strict criteria have to be met before an evaluations committee can approve an investigation. There has to be historical evidence of a grave's existence before it can be considered, but as one researcher has pointed out, to this day, the main documents referring to fascist repression are either destroyed or locked away. The legal status of the military justice archives remains unresolved, and the church authorities refuse to instruct parish priests to open their church records.
Montserrat talks about having to go through "papers and more papers" for several years before an exhumation of her grandfather's grave was even considered. And, as she points out, the exhumation at Gurb is only a "test case" with no guarantee that the Catalan government will proceed with the 2,000 requests for exhumations it has received from other families.
Among the objects exhumed from the grave were human remains, clothing, cutlery and ammunition.
The exhumation process of the grave at Gurb was eventually completed in spring 2008, and the remains of 13 bodies and numerous artefacts, including clothing, cutlery and ammunition, transferred to a laboratory at the Autonomous University of Barcelona for further identification. One poignant object was a glass bottle containing a badly decomposed message inside thought to be related to the burial of the soldiers. Montserrat praises the 12 scientists who carried out the exhumation for showing "such great care and affection."
Preliminary investigations of the skeletons showed signs of fractures, which could have been caused by bullets and five skulls had damage consistent with gunshots to the head. A full autopsy was due to have been completed by the end of 2008, but Montserrat has not yet been officially notified of the results.
Because of the tireless work by the historical memory societies to uncover the names of 114,266 disappeared people between 1936 and 1951 and to present them in petitions to the National Court, Spain's top investigative judge Baltasar Garzón announced an investigation last year. Pressure had also come from international human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
Garzón accused Franco and 44 collaborators of human rights abuses against political opponents and drew attention to the tens of thousands of children of the fascists' victims who had been taken away and put up for adoption "erasing their identities." He ordered the opening of hundreds of mass graves, including those inside Franco's enormous mausoleum, which still towers over the countryside near Madrid.
However, within days, under pressure from right-wing politicians, the media and church (the PCE's former head Santiago Carrillo also expressed his opposition to Garzón's investigations) the government's public prosecutor appealed against the judge's actions saying he had no jurisdiction over crimes, which had been covered by the 1977 amnesty. Garzón abandoned his investigations before the National Court ruled against him and referred them back to provincial courts, many of which have already said they do not feel qualified to continue with them.
Representatives for historical memory societies accuse the Zapatero government of having used the whole Garzón affair to delay further investigations and derail the movement for truth, which was rapidly getting out of its control.
Millions who had hoped that at long last there would be some sort of justice for Franco's victims have seen their hopes cruelly dashed. It is clear the Spanish ruling class remains determined to use the arrangements reached in the immediate aftermath of Franco's death in 1975 to suppress any serious assessment of what happened under his dictatorship.
Even within such a heavily circumscribed framework, Garzón's investigation was judged to be too dangerous. The deepening political and social divisions pose too great a threat to the constitutional arrangements established with the transition.
However, this latest manoeuvre cannot end the demands for justice nor eradicate the bitter memories of the fascist era. Rather, these can only grow as the current social and political situation worsens.

In June 1918 during the First World War, there was a confrontation between English and German seaplanes in the Wadden Islands, including Felixstowes. But a Curtiss plane from the English RNAS was also involved and made an emergency landing at sea on June 4, 1918 after a hit. Went ashore at Vlieland but, before it could be set on fire by the crew, it was confiscated by Dutch soldiers on the spot. The chest was interned and formally purchased at the end of 1918. This Curtiss was a H-12A and had a 350 hp Rolls Royce Eagle VIII engine. It belonged to the RNAS and had the serial number 8689. Several Curtiss H-12's were modified with a Felixstowe F.2A Hull, the 8689 had originally fins, as shown in the detail.
It went on service with the MLD with the number L-2.
