The Salvation Army distributed food, blankets and shelter material to meet the needs of the people in the weeks immediately after the incident. Some communities were told they couldn't go back; the government wanted to relocate them away from the dangerous flood zone. However, the problem was that there was no infrastructure in the new location; no water, schools, hospitals or anything. So people were reluctant to go … The needs were still great both for the people who stay and slowly rebuild their lives as well as for the people who will eventually move.
Indonesia: Flash flooding and landslides affected parts of Central Sulawesi. Emergency services teams from four Salvation Army divisions responded immediately. More
Philippines: The Salvation Army in The Philippines responded to the flash flooding that brought devastation to the island of Mindanao. More than 1,000 people are known to have died. More
New Zealand: Salvation Army teams responded quickly on 23 December to provide emergency assistance to those affected by the latest severe earthquakes to strike Christchurch. More
Central America: The Salvation Army in Central America provided assistance to people affected by severe flooding. Heavy rains that started in October caused more than 90 deaths in the region. More
Haiti: Nearly 700 students started the school year in newly repaired Salvation Army school buildings. The Haiti Recovery and Development School Renovation and Construction team worked hard during the summer. More
Kenya: Turkana, in north-west Kenya, remains the major focal point for drought response activities. Short-term relief programmes were delivered for struggling communities. More
India South Western: Heavy rains affected 113 villages in Kerala. Twelve people lost their lives, a bridge collapsed and 700 houses were severely damaged. People were forced to move to safer places and some had to live in relief camps. The Salvation Army coordinated with the local Government and other NGOs, providing relief food and non-food items (such as mats and cooking utensils) to 750 families.
Argentina: Due to the Volcanic Ash falling from the Puyehue Volcano in Chile, the city of Bariloche, Argentina, where The Salvation Army has a corps, declared a state of emergency. Other communities closer to the volcano were evacuated. Both in Bariloche and in the other nearby communities, the emergent needs were for non-perishable food and practical support to reinforce the structure of precarious houses, mainly the replacement of sheets in the case of corrugated iron roofs. The community asked the Salvation Army for help, especially small towns near Bariloche, where there is no media coverage. A district team made of three volunteers and the District Officer went for several days to help the people with their houses. The community members worked alongside the local and district teams in the building repair tasks.
Japan: The Salvation Army in Japan responded to the earthquake and tsunami that brought devastation to the north of the country. More

A GROUP representing Stranraer's bid for town centre regeneration funding has been "snubbed" by the Scottish Government.
The group, which includes councillors, members of Dumfries and Galloway Council, the Chambers of Commerce and Business Association, had hoped to meet Minister for Communities and Housing Alex Neil before an announcement was made about the funding in the coming weeks.
However, a spokesman for Mr Neil said he would be unable to meet with them due to "ministerial engagements".


¶ 1 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
¶ 6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
¶ 9 What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?


Huge thank you so MyFirstPhone.com for sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% our own.
Making the decision to get a kids cell phone can be difficult, but if you feel your child is ready for a cell phone there are some great kids cell phones available, and they can be beneficial not only to your child, but you. It gives me piece of mind knowing my kids can contact me if they need to, and if they have that phone I can always find out where they are.
In today's world you see kids with cell phones everywhere you go, but how many of those kids really need a cell phone? I'm going to be honest, my kids have cell phones. Even my youngest daughter, she doesn't use it to call or text, but she does use it to watch a move on from time to time. Our children are growing up in a world of technology, and I want my children to have access to it, so I can teach them how to properly use it.
My kids having a cell phone is important to me, because I want to know they can reach me anytime they need to – even during school hours if it is an emergency. My oldest daughter has had to call me from school before, and I cannot tell you how thankful I was she has a cell phone to make that choice with. Now, my kids also know there are rules to be followed, and they do not use their phones during school hours unless it's an emergency, because I will not pick their phones up if they are by the teacher. It happened one time with my teen, and she didn't get her phone back for 6 months. In my opinion, they need a cell phone, but they need to be respectful of the rules and responsiblity that comes along with having one. For me, deciding to getting a kid cell phone isn't a big deal, becasue I already know why my kids having a cell phone is important. However, I do remember giving my oldest daughter her first cell phone, it wasn't that easy.
If you're having a hard time decided whether or not to get a kids cell phone for your child here are a few questions you can ask youself.
What are the advantages of your tween or teen having a cell phone? What are the advantages of your child having a cell phone? Is there a need for them to get into contact with you? Do they walk home from school? Are they ever home alone without a phone or way to get into contact with an adult if needed? A cell phone can be a useful tool, and it does allow your children to get into contact with you when they need, which if there is ever an emergency. Cell phones can also help you monitor your children, and know where they are when they are not with you. My kid having their own cell phone is important to me, and there are several advantages for us, but we might be different from your family.
What are the disadvantages of your tween or teen having a cell phone? What are the disadvantages to your child having a cell phone? Be sure to set boundaries for tech time, like no phones during family time, at the dinner table, or other times you don't want their cell phone glued to their hand. My teen, tends to like to text at all hours of the day and night if I don't set limits. Just be sure to have rules, and to check up on your child. I'm speaking from experience, because you might find they are up until 1am texting friends, or snapping selfies if you don't.
Can it help your tween or teen learn about responsibility? I have found a cell phone to be a great way to tech a child about responsibility, but it only works if they are ready for it, and you're not just giving it to them so they can get int touch with you after they get out of school. Giving them a little freedom with it, and options that make it appealing to them can help you teach them about responsibility. Now, I am not saying go crazy, and give them free run with the phone, but maybe allow them a certain amount of text time with friends, or ask them why having anew phone is exciting to them, and help make it a fun experience so they want to be responsible.
Is your tween or teen ready to work to have a phone? Cell phone bills don't pay themselves, and this is a good opportunity to teach your children about hard work. My oldest daughter does things around the house for me to pay her cell phone bill.
What features are important when looking for a cell phone for your child? There are so many cell phones out there to choose from, be sure and consider everything your child will use the phone for, and what you want them to have access to. As parents many of us look for different things in mobile phones, I use parental controls, and that is something that is important to be, especially for my younger daughter who is just learning about cell phones.
What rules will you put into place? Rules are an important part of giving kids a cell phone. They need to be clearly thought out, and communicated. When the rules are not followed there should be consequences, before you can take their phone away they need to know your rules, and they need to be black and white.
Once you have decided to get a kids cell phone be sure to figure out how much you can pay each month, becasue there are affordable phones and plans out there. Some designed just for children. We just reviewed a phone from www.MyFirstPhone.com, and I think it's a great kids phone. Whether they are just learning how to use a cell phone, or have had one before, we really enjoyed reviewing the Pantech Vybe™.
If you determine a cell phone is a good option for your tween or teen, now is the hard part, finding a cell phone plan that's right for their needs. The good news is, it's probably not going to be has hard as you think, because there are places out there like MyFirstPhone.com who have not only great plans, but great phones too. Check it out.
Pantech Mobile keeps their focus on the customers so they can create a good mobile experience, by providing their customers with a good price and a quality phone without breaking the bank. When you buy from Pantech, their devices and plans are affordable because you're not paying for that celebrity who's' marketing the phone or wireless plan. Please note that the plan is through AT&T, as Vybe is available exclusively on AT&T's networt.
Pantech Mobile doesn't see innovation as just a buzzword, but a way to deliver a WOW customers experience each and every time. With things like the Flex Android smartphone, dual users interfaces of the Pantech Breeze, and the first ever waterproof tablet, and the Pantech Element.
Pantech Mobile has something for everyone from your basic & QMP phones and Smartphones to Tablets and other derives they know not everyone has the same needs for a smartphone, or in a smartphone, which is why the offer something for everyone's needs, at an affordable price. In addition, they have the Pantech Vybe™, which we have tried and think is the perfect kid's phone.
Obviously when you're buying a mobile phone staying connected is important, and the Pantech Vybe is a simple, and affordable device that allows you to do just that. One of my personal favorites is the easy to use slide out QWERTY keyboard, which I can honestly say I miss in a phone, because it makes texting easy, and helps give you quick access to whatever you need. Whether it's social media or shooting mom a text message we're loving the QWERTY Keyboard.
The Pantech Vybe™ has something for everyone – email, social media, messaging, camera, and allows you to communicate the way you like. It's super easy to use, and easy for tweens and teens to figure out on their own. I let my daughter Vayda use the phone, she had everything figured out quickly, and her favorite feature was the slide-out QWERTY Keyboard. She doesn't use social media yet, so she didn't see the advantages to the social media shortcuts, but without a doubt my teen would have noticed the social media shortcuts right away.
The Pantech Vybe™ also has a large touchscreen display and customizable home screen so you can easily read text messages, view pictures, play games, browse the web, or check emails. The 3.2" touchscreen display, and kids can personalize it by customize two additional home screens to organize all their favorite apps and bookmarks.
Camera, camera, camera! Who can go without talking about the camera. I liked the quick camera button, which is perfect for those selfies everyone seems to enjoy so much. The Vybe's quick and easy one-touch, quick camera button makes it easy to snap a selfie or of your cute little bunny doing funny bunny stuff. Which is what Vayda ended up spending most of her time shooting, but sharing images and videos via text message is super easy as well. We were easily able to upload images and send them to dad via text message without any issues, but uploading to your favorite social networks is a breeze too.
There is also a dual-user mode, which makes it easy for first-time cell phone users to set up their phone. Simply unlock, tap, and BAM! The Vybe is easy to use, and there are two ways to interact with your Vybe. Easy Mode, which has only one home screen and an easy to use menu, and an Advanced Mode, which is customizable and offers more options and flexibility for the more advanced users. You can change the phone back and forth without losing any of your contact information, it's super easy to use, and Vayda really felling love with this phone.
Oh, there is also a music and video player that Vayda really enjoyed. All my children enjoy music, so the music player and video player was another feature Vayda really enjoyed. I liked that the Vybe also has hands free, and allowed you to stay connected online with mobile web and email from AT&T. I don't know that matters a lot for Vayda, but that was something I liked as someone who is always checking her email on the go.
Other features I liked – AT&T Navigator, AT&T Family Map, AT&T Drive Mode, which is great for anyone who's driving and thinks they will get distracted by their incoming calls and text messages. myAT&T helps you manage your account, access usage, feature information, and your billing information.
The Pantech Vybe™ is a great device for kids, it's 4.49" in height, 2.32" in width, and weighs 4.94 ounces. The Vybe comes with a 3.2" TFT Touchscreen Display, 240 x 400 resolution, Bluetooth, text messaging, email, preloaded apps, web browser, 3 MP camera resolution, 8X digital zoom, MPEG4/QVGA video capture, video player, music player, speakers, and more.

6 Tips On Selecting The Ultimate kids Outfit!
Rack Room Shoes Models Wanted Contest & Shoes That Fit!


Poor is a state of being. A label placed on those pitiful souls carving out a life on the edges of humanity and hoping one day to discover the secret others seem to keep hidden from them.
Poor is a way of life. A threadbare cloth wrapped around bony shoulders in an attempt to keep the chill away. Scraping together a meager existence, paycheck to paycheck while fighting the wolves at the door.
But being poor can mean something more.
Poor is the key to creativity. When a tablecloth can become a hidden cave full of treasure and a plain cardboard box is the gateway to adventure.
When I was growing up cardboard boxes could morph into many things…cars for dolls to ride in, holes cut for legs so a pretend Cinderella could go to the ball, and super slides before such a thing existed.
One of the houses I lived in had a steep ditch in the front yard that served many purposes when you had only your imagination to work with. Sometimes after a thunderstorm rolled through the area, I would pretend to go fishing in that ditch. But it was the summertime and the call of the outdoors when I enjoyed that ditch the most.
We lived not far from an appliance store that would throw away large refrigerator cardboard boxes once a week. As soon as they dumped those boxes at the back of their store, my siblings and I would sneak a couple home. Ripping them open and laying them flat on the incline of the ditch, we took turns running across the front yard and leaping onto that cardboard to slide down into the ditch. Over and over we would slip and slide until we had quite literally destroyed our slide. No matter…it was back to the store for another box and the fun to begin again.
Funny thing about those boxes. No money exchanged hands for the sake of a little laughter on a warm summer day. No batteries required. No vegging out in front of the television to kill a few brain cells watching endless commercials.
Just fresh air, a little laughter, and some cardboard.
Poor is a state of being. To make of it what you will. To let it help mold the person you are to become but to never define you.
Hi Donna! Aren't cardboards and youthful imaginations the best?!
When using cardboard as a base for Cinderella's hoop skirt, make sure you cut the leg holes big enough for your legs to fit through.
Lol, Janet… I'll NEVER tell what happens when you don't!

Home2 WheelersRoyal Enfield introduces MiY on Classic 350 and two new evocative colourways – Orange Ember and Metallo Silver
Royal Enfield introduces MiY on Classic 350 and two new evocative colourways – Orange Ember and Metallo Silver
25th November 2020 Jas 2 Wheelers, India, Royal Enfield, Technology/Apps 0
~ Orange Ember and Metallo Silver – The Classic 350 gets new colourways along with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres~
~Royal Enfield 'Make-It-Yours' – MiY – now available on Classic 350~
~ Bookings open on November 26, 2020 at Royal Enfield stores across India ~
New Delhi, India, November 25, 2020: Royal Enfield, the global leader in mid-size (250 – 750cc) motorcycles, today introduced two new colour variants of its best-selling motorcycle, the Classic 350 – Metallo Silver and Orange Ember. The new variants of the Classic 350 have been conceptualized in bright new hues and designed to evoke a youthful and refreshing motorcycling experience. The introduction of alloy wheels and tubeless tyres on these variants have added to the style quotient of the machines with enhanced handling experience for riding enthusiasts. The Classic 350 will now be available on the Royal Enfield Make It Yours – MiY – initiative. Customers can now customize and accessorize their motorcycles through the MIY initiative available on all channels, dealerships, website and the RE App
Enabled via the Royal Enfield App, Website and an engaging and unique 3-D configurator, the Make-It-Yours. Introduced first on the 650 Twin motorcycles, and subsequently made available on the newly launched easy cruiser, Meteor 350, MiY is now available on the Royal Enfield Classic 350 as well. In a phased manner, MiY will be made available across all motorcycles in the Royal Enfield portfolio.
Carrying the rich legacy forward, Royal Enfield continues to refresh its flagship Classic series which has witnessed phenomenal success since its launch. Being pioneers in the mid-sized motorcycle segment, Royal Enfield, with its authentic British pedigreed motorcycles, has the biggest market share in this space. The new Classic 350 variants perfectly compliment the personality and preferences of evolved & new-age riders,
Introducing the new motorcycle variants, Mr. Vinod K. Dasari – CEO, Royal Enfield said, "Classic 350 has been one of our most successful motorcycles for over a decade. The simple, timeless design and pure motorcycling experience of the Classic have witnessed immense appreciation and love from riding communities over the years. In a continuous effort to evolve the Classic, we have introduced new variants of the motorcycle and added the option to view and configure, enabling our riders to express themselves in distinct and unique ways. The young and vibrant colour schemes and trims of the Classic 350, coupled with several personalization and accessorization combinations via MIY will definitely offer a more involved purchase and ownership experience for riding enthusiasts. We are also very happy that MiY has been very well received by our audiences. More than 80% of our newly launched Meteor owners have opted for MiY solutions which is a testament to its success. We are confident that Classic 350 customers will follow suit "
Introduced in 2008, the Royal Enfield Classic is designed on the lines of the J2 and it is a tribute to the retro look of British motorcycles in the post-World War II era. The J2 was the model name for the 1950's Royal Enfield that sported the now familiar retro classic styling and was the first to offer what we recognise as conventional swinging arm rear suspension. The Classic today retains this quintessential classic British styling of the 1950s; simple, harmonious, proportioned, and finished. Powered by Royal Enfield's 350cc unit construction engine (UCE), front & rear mudguards, the headlight casing, the fuel tank, the oval toolbox, the exhaust fins, the speedometer dials, the single-seat spring saddle, tail light assembly, and the headlamp cap, all these conform to the native imagery of British motorcycles in the aftermath of World War II.
Like all Royal Enfield motorcycles, the new Classic too can be personalized with a suite of Genuine Motorcycle Accessories, including protective, functional and utility based accessories, all of which come with a 2-year warranty. The range includes luggage solutions, a wide range of engine guards, touring seats, and classic styling embellishments.
The new Classic 350 colourways in Orange Ember and Metallo Silver will be available across stores in India starting November 26, at an attractive price tag of Rs.1,83,164/- (ex-showroom, Delhi & Chennai).
About Royal Enfield
The oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, Royal Enfield has created beautifully crafted motorcycles since 1901. From its British roots, a manufacturing plant was established in Madras in 1955, a foothold from which Royal Enfield spearheaded the growth of India's mid-sized two-wheeler segment. Royal Enfields are engaging, uncomplicated, accessible, and fun to ride; a vehicle for exploration and self-expression. It's an approach the brand calls Pure Motorcycling.
Royal Enfield's premium line-up includes the all-new Meteor 350 cruiser, Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 twins, the Himalayan adventure tourer, and the iconic Bullet 350 and Classic 350 singles. Riders and a passionate community are fostered with a rich profusion of events at a local, regional, and international level. Most notable are Rider Mania, an annual gathering of thousands of Royal Enfield enthusiasts in Goa, and Himalayan Odyssey, a yearly pilgrimage over some of the toughest terrain and highest mountain passes.
A division of Eicher Motors Limited, Royal Enfield operates through 921 large format dealerships and 638 studio stores in all major cities and towns in India and exports to over 60 countries around the globe. The company's two state-of-the-art production facilities are located at Oragadam and Vallam Vadagal, near Chennai. Royal Enfield recently invested in two world-class technical centres, in Bruntingthorpe, UK, and Chennai, India, and in 2020 opened its first assembly unit outside India, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With more than 17% growth year-on-year for the last 5 years and sales in international markets up 96% in 2019-20, Royal Enfield is the leader in the global mid-size motorcycle market.

It's been a busy week of socialising and I really should be sleeping right now but I wanted to take this opportunity while everyone else in the flat is catching up on their zeds to bring you up to date with my weekly round up.
On Wednesday I introduced you to the wonderful Rod Thomas, 'the Welsh Wizard'.
You might have caught Rod playing at the Innocent Festival in Regents Park yesterday.
His music is often described as "folk disco to make people dance, smile, laugh and occasionally think a little bit." There will hopefully be more very exciting Rod news to announce here shortly so stay posted.
On Thursday, The Cool Kids received the Black Cab Session treatment and free styled their way around the back streets of London.
Incidentally, their new album 'The Bake Sale' (released today) is Rough Trade's album of the week.
Me and a few friends took part in another Pub Quiz and shocked ourselves with a second place score. Here are the Questions and Answers.
NME reported Radiohead fans preferred to download 'illegal' versions of 'In Rainbows'.
Cadbury's announced the return of their Wispa Bar –Hooray!
Coppertree Records is a record label that only releases vinyl. This site caught my eye because they are releasing 1000 units (that's worldwide) of the never previously available on vinyl Daniel Johnston album 'Fear Yourself'. For more details click here.
The British political blog Harry's Place has recently branched out into the Art world. Features include Junkbox Jury where they rummage through sale bins to find records to fill the criteria of being under £1, the purchaser must never have heard of the artist before, the artwork and packaging must look nice and the name of the band, or the album sounds intriguing etc. Then you as the reader are encouraged to vote for your favourite out of the selection on offer. You get the general idea! Good fun.
This site takes photos off the Internet, cuts them in half and then flips the image to make for some really strange photos. Try typing in the names of a few singers and you'll see what I mean.
As the UK Summer reaches full swing and the rain just keeps on lashing down, I take back last weeks advice of always wearing sunscreen and advise you to always carry an umbrella instead. Yesterday I sat on a wet seat for four or so hours watching my first ever big football game, Arsenal vs Real Madrid at the Emirates stadium. I did Mexican waves, shouted a bit and tried to sing along with the football chants not really knowing what they were saying and most of the time believe me, that was probably for the best! Despite the rain, it was a really fun afternoon.
Real Madrid Warm Up Before Yesterday's Game - Why didn't anyone tell me you had to dress up in a super hero costume to go to the football?

Does Switching Hardware Matter In An SDN World?
I wrote a longish piece called "What To Look For In An SDN Controller" that Network World published on 2-Dec-2013. It was one of those weird moments when I started seeing mentions on Twitter referencing the article, and I couldn't remember what the piece was all about. A number of weeks went by between writing the piece and the piece actually going live. Which…I don't mind. It's just a little odd to see the piece again after more or less forgetting that I'd written it. Media is an interesting business, and I'm still learning how things work.
That said, after re-reading the article to recall what my fingers spit into the keyboard, I think it's still valid. When I wrote it, ACI and NSX hadn't quite taken the world by storm yet, and I might have made a few additional comments. But overall, the article is, I think, relevant.
One comment came up on Twitter regarding the piece, which was whether or not I was implying in the article that switches don't matter all that much in an SDN architecture. My opinion is that switching hardware matters a lot in many SDN architectures, but admittedly not all. Some thoughts on this.
2. Complex SDN applications that are doing hop-by-hop flow manipulation through a data center will require scale. By this, I mean that data flows traverse multiple hardware devices that sit between source and destination. If you want to manage that flow (i.e. treat it in a way that's something other than simply forwarding), then ASICs will need to be able to handle that through the data center.
Assuming a clos tree architecture where certain network switches are doing very heavy lifting (not a foregone conclusion as data center topologies evolve, but still typical), then scaling into the many thousands and possibly millions of flows in hardware is key. Few switches are designed for this today. While I haven't seen a detailed switching architecture document of the Cisco Nexus 9000 series that explains the "merchant plus" custom Cisco silicon in detail, I am fairly confident that Cisco is going after the marketplace "loaded for bear" on exactly this point. The total ACI solution is supposed to scale to 1M endpoints, if I understand it correctly.
Enterasys (just bought by Extreme Networks) has been playing in this space for years with their CoreFlow ASIC. CoreFlow2 scales up to a claimed 64M flows – read their brief. Sort of astonishes me no one talks much about Enterasys, since they have been doing for a while with software and hardware what others are talking about like it's new. Enterasys's endpoint management capabilities are beyond anything else I've seen on the market today.
3. Some of the most practical SDN applications I've seen so far are delivered on a combination of hardware and software. That's HP, NEC, Plexxi, and Enterasys off the top of my head. And Cisco is clearly heading down that road with onePK & ACI, despite ACI being criticized with comments like "hardware defined networking". Sigh. That list is not meant to rule out other innovative SDN platforms delivered in switch-agnostic software like VMware NSX, Nuage Networks, Anuta Networks, and Embrane. And fill in the blank here with your favorite SDN tool I didn't happen to mention. But in my opinion, there's a difference between virtualizing networks or providing orchestration platforms vs. delivering full-blown software defined networking. These are all facets of the same jewel.
4. Some applications with special requirements are leveraging custom silicon in the form of FPGAs, such as what's found in the Arista 7124FX. Quote below from the official Arista product page.
The Arista 7124FX provides 24-ports of wirespeed and ultra-low latency 10Gb Ethernet using the flexible SFP+ package, 8 of those ports route through a dedicated and fully-programmable FPGA where customers can load their own custom applications. The FPGA supports 160Gbps of throughput and offers over 6 million programmable logic gates to run high-performance and mission-critical applications in the network.
The Arista 7124FX is most commonly used in financial applications where you want the application to be as close as possible to the data source or inline with the data stream. This enables increased competitive advantage when coupled with the deterministic and ultra-low latency forwarding path. Other applications include financial services exchanges, government, defense, and the high performance computing world.
5. If all you need to do is virtualize your network at the hypervisor edge, you have a different problem to solve than many. I'm well aware of the argument that all Ethernet switches need to be are dumb frame forwarders with L3 intelligence that deliver traffic between the virtual switches resident in the hypervisor edge. If that's all your network needs to do, then I agree that (to a point) the switch you use to deliver those frames doesn't need to be exciting. You're going to be doing most services in the hypervisor like firewalling and probably load-balancing and then encapsulating that traffic into VXLAN or something similar before shoving the packet out the vSwitch and into the physical network. There are a number of very large networks that need pretty much this and not a lot else, so a switch needs to have some basic forwarding intelligence, and maybe that's all you'll care about. Enough space for learn where the VTEPs are? Got OSPF? Or maybe a L2 fabric? Well then, forward away.
But virtualized networks delivering IaaS or other apps requiring multi-tenancy isn't what most networks are doing today. Most networks are NOT provider networks. They are much smaller networks servicing enterprises, EDUs, non-profits, etc. And those networks are hard to manage, with a wide variety of service delivery and security requirements depending on the endpoint, physical location, and nature of the data being transported. That's a whole other world I think cloud network operators overlook sometimes, even though enterprise & campus is by far the larger customer base in the wide world of networking. Admittedly, I carry the enterprise networking torch, as that's where I've spent most of my career.
Could enterprise networks adopt a model like VMware's NSX? I see multi-tenancy being applicable to enterprise networks, yes. I can easily make that use-case. But operationally, that would be a tough change to make. I think it's more likely that enterprises will adopt SDN applications that can manage flows across their infrastructure end-to-end rather than re-architecting their networks and mindsets to map to a container (network virtualization) model. And if I'm right, that means silicon is going to keep on mattering.
All of that to underscore the point that I believe silicon still matters, and will continue to matter. Will it matter to everyone? No. But vendors will continue to innovate and differentiate based on switching hardware. For better or worse, I think we can count on SDN solutions continuing to emerge that are in some way hardware dependent.
Great perspective Ethan. Thanks for another great article.

Q: How to keep valid value in NumericUpDown instead assigning Maximum value? Say I have NumericUpDown with Maximum = 99 and Minimum = -99 and initial value = 23. If user sets focus to this contol and inputs 1 (that would be 123 now) it changes it's value to 99.
How do I keep 23 instead changing value to maximum allowed?
I tried to catch KeyDown and KeyPress, but value wasn't changed during this events. Also I tried to implement a workaround explained in this question, but not succeeded. Validating event occurs only on leaving control. I need to simply ignore user input if it's greater than Maximum or lesser than Minimum.
UPD. I'm using WinForms.

A: Use an outside global property like private int iTextBox { get; set; } and use OnTextChange event to see if the number is bigger then 99 or smaller than -99.
OnTextChange:
{
       int newValue = int.Parse(textBox1.Text);
       if (newValue > Maximum)
              textBox1.Text = iTextBox;
       if (newValue < Minimum)
              textBox1.Text = iTextBox;

       iTextBox = int.Parse(textBox1.Text);
}

A: Ok, I found solution with this question help. I tried many combinations and found one that wasn't too complicated. I save old value on KeyDown event and check it on textBox.TextChanged event. At that time value haven't changed yet. Now numericUpDown visually discards input that will be not in Minimum...Maximum range. Not user-friendly I think, there is some work to do.
public partial class Form1
{
   private decimal _oldValue;
   private TextBox textBox;

   public Form1()
   {
      InitializeComponent();

      textBox = (TextBox)numericUpDown.Controls[1];
      textBox.TextChanged += TextBoxOnTextChanged;
   }

   private void TextBoxOnTextChanged(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        decimal newValue = Convert.ToDecimal(((TextBox) sender).Text);
        if (newValue > numericUpDown.Maximum || newValue < numericUpDown.Minimum)
            ((TextBox) sender).Text = _oldValue.ToString();
    }

   private void numericUpDown_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
   {
      _oldValue = ((NumericUpDownCustom) sender).Value;
   }
}

A: If you're using WPF then write a converter which will re-assign a value for you.
public class BoolToVisibilityConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType,  object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        int i = int.Parse(value as string);
        // logic here
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType,  object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

A: Can't you do this in the ValueChanged event of the NumericUpDown control?  Just store the original value and if the value they are entering is invalid, restore the saved value.

Q: Can I create multiple dlls from one project? I have a very large website which was "published" using Visual Studio 2008 to the dev/live server.  As a result, there are no *.aspx.cs files on the live server, just "website.dll" - all good so far.
However, because we're constantly having to add pages to the site this now means that if I'm half way through developing a big part of the site when I'm required to make a small change elsewhere, I can't publish "website.dll" to the live site because it has all my half finished code in there.  How do people deal with this situation?
If I could split the site up into multiple dlls (perhaps based on namespace?) then I could just publish the small part of the site that's changed, leaving the bit I'm still developing on the dev server.
Thanks,
B

A: Your problem is not the single assembly, but your way of developing.
To cope with this problem I would introduce a source control system (svn, git, ...) in your environment. These allow you to use branches, you could create 2 branches. One for new development and one for bugfixes or small changes.
These can later be merged to create a new release.
More info can be found here or here and in the manuals of Subversion, Git and other source control systems.

A: No, you can't.
Split your project in several sub-projects and handle them in a solution. Every project will become a seperate DLL.

A: Use source control. We use subversion with ahnk+tortoise.

What is important to palliative care patients, beyond physical concerns?
In this project (part of a larger US study of an upstream community-based palliative care approach) lay health care workers provided monthly supportive visits for 160 patients with advanced heart failure, cancer or dementia, and expected to die within two to three years. As part of the project, the care guides explored what was most important to the patients and documented their self-defined goals.
The authors concluded that it is feasible to elicit and record serious illness goals in this patient population. They noted that the diverse range of goals that were identified related to global aspirations and many facets of the whole person, which presents an opportunity to individualise assessments and care planning processes and assist decision-making that more fully reflects current health status and psychosocial and spiritual aspects of patients' lives.
Sandra Ellen Schellinger, Eric Worden Anderson, Monica Schmitz Fraser and Cindy Lynn Cain, Patient Self-Defined Goals: Essentials of Person-Centered Care for Serious IIlness, American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, published online 23 March 2017, doi:10.1177/1049909117699600.
Reflecting on my own practice, it's easier to concentrate on physical issues and it's a timely reminder of the importance of non physical issues for holistic patient care.
Thanks to the PCV newsletter for the heads up….
Our colleagues at CareSearch are developing and running a 'Massive Open Online Course' (MOOC) on death and dying (Dying2Learn) for the second year in a row.
The CareSearch MOOC will provide an opportunity for any Australian to openly and supportively discuss, learn, and contribute to discussions on social issues around death and dying. The MOOC has been created for the general public in Australia, but everyone is invited to join us.
Registrations open on 27th of March for a start on 3rd April. It will run for five weeks.
How does today's society engage with death and dying? How do we use language to describe it? What about the role of t.v. and film?

More evidence for the benefits in quality of life experienced by those receiving early integrated palliative care – but how do we communicate this to those set to benefit?
This post continues on our theme for this month – palliative care and quality of life. Below, Michael mentioned the mounting compelling evidence we have to show the relationship between these two concepts. Just last week, another quality trial conducted by Temel and colleagues was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, again showing improvements in quality of life for patients with incurable lung or non-colorectal GI cancers who received early integrated palliative care alongside their usual oncology care.
So with even more good news (and quality evidence!) about the benefits of palliative care, I find myself reflecting why integrating palliative care in practice remains such an ongoing challenge.
Some of my PhD work has been exploring communication about palliative care and initial perceptions and understandings of palliative care held by patients with advanced cancer and their family carers. Conducting these interviews and having these conversations revealed just how far we have to go to bring patient, carer, and public perceptions in line with the evidence we have for palliative care as quality care.
While our recent focus has perhaps necessarily been on demonstrating effectiveness, now we also need equal focus on how best to communicate the message that palliative care is quality care. Some of my research would suggest our language for talking about palliative care is not always sophisticated – at times overly complex, at times perhaps deliberately ambiguous – and ultimately leaving those who may be otherwise set to benefit from engaging with palliative care early unclear.
This idea is not new – others in the field are, and have been, talking about the need to get our messaging right for some years now. But what should the message be? Whatever approach we take, we need equally compelling evidence that it resonates with those who most require our care.
Early palliative care – when should quality care start?
We have been talking about quality care at Palliverse this month a topic that has a lot of relevance to early palliative care. The WHO talks about early palliative care as meaning care that is offered at the time of a life-limiting diagnosis. In practice palliative care is often offered much later, and some have suggested that this means that real benefits are missed for many people.
Difficulties accessing medications which carers need to look after someone dying at home can mean that the person needs to be sent in by ambulance to hospital to die. Having been on the hospital end of this transaction many times, I know how sad it is for the patient and family when something as simple as access to medicines gets in the way of care at home.
A study carried out by Paul Tait and a team from South Australia has shown that the proportion of community pharmacies stocking a list of medications needed for end of life care at home has nearly tripled from 2012 to 2015.
Significantly more SA community pharmacies carried all five core medicines following the delivery of a range of multidisciplinary education strategies.
This indicates that the likelihood of South Australians being able to access items from the List through community pharmacies in 2015 has significantly improved.
Are you someone who is looking for a vibrant new or continued career in palliative care research ?
A fulltime Palliative Care Research Assistant position is available in Victoria reporting to the new Chair of Palliative Medicine.
The candidate will join a developing team of researchers associated with the Chair of Palliative Medicine at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne & the VCCC. The foci of research of this group are in developing effective and innovative approaches to care provision, communication and engagement with patients, families and the public, and symptom assessment.
