The Critic is Britain's new monthly magazine for politics, ideas, art, literature and much more. Co-edited by Michael Mosbacher and Christopher Montgomery, The Critic exists to push back against a self-regarding and dangerous consensus that finds critical voices troubling, triggering, insensitive and disrespectful. The point is not provocation or trolling. The point of honest criticism is to better approach truth, not deny its possibility.
Ossified thought and a lack of intellectual rigour are depressing features of all sides of today's political and cultural debate. Our writers will subscribe to no editorial line nor serve the interests of any party, faction or cause. We ask them to write because we expect them to be honest, and lucidly so. Look to our contributors and fault us if they are not.
Contributors to the magazine include Jonathan Meades, Douglas Murray, Nick Cohen, Joshua Rozenberg, Anne McElvoy, Norman Lebrecht, Daniel Johnson, Lisa Hilton, Hannah Betts and Artists in Residence Adam Dant and Miriam Elia.
What's going on — and wrong — on campus? From the triumph of the box tickers and crushing of those who "do not align with our values" to insider revelations on the criteria admissions tutors use and the high volume of international postgraduates enrolled at institutions with curiously low research rankings, the February issue of The Critic magazine brings a series of special features exploring why university life has lost its sparkle for academics and students alike. With museums under pressure to hand over their collections of Benin bronzes to Nigeria, Mike Wells goes in search of the bronzes still held in that country and makes some worrying discoveries. Meanwhile, in Munich, William Cook admires the art of Max Beckmann, and in Venice, Alasdair Palmer asks why, if Tiepolo's glorious frescoes have been under restoration for fifteen years, no work has been done? Also in the February issue of The Critic, Ellen Pasternack questions the government's childcare strategy, Boris Starling explains why rugby is in crisis, Michael Henderson tries to find a way out of the Moral Maze and Lisa Hilton samples what's on the menu in the Palace of Westminster. All this and The Critic's customary distillation of wisdom and enlightenment from the mixed ingredients of contemporary politics, culture and entertainment.

Chavez: Robot umpires rob baseball of emotion
Bob Chavez
The feelings of winning, and losing, are what we remember about games and the advancement of technology is slowly eroding that foundation
I'm old enough to remember life without cell phones, much less smartphones.
But as that technology rolled in, it was sold as a way to always be connected. At first, it was neat and convenient. Now, we look for ways to escape it.
But that's getting more and more challenging. Wireless technology is everywhere and I've lamented it before, especially the use of replay in sports. I still am not a fan of it, but I also am at an uneasy peace with it because I have accepted that it's not going away.
That's why I was curious about the All-Star Game in the independent Atlantic League earlier this week. Because that's where the "robot umpire" made its debut, calling balls and strikes for the home plate umpire.
The ump took his traditional position behind the plate, but was sporting earbuds connected to a phone in his pocket, which received calls from the "robot."
Of course, I'm a bit biased as the son of a long-time umpire. But I really tried to keep an open mind as I looked into this. Stories before the game explained how it would work and stories after the game revealed that it did indeed work, and players and even the umpires were OK with the technology.
But still, it doesn't sit right with me. I understand completely the call from supporters to "get the call right." And while this robot technology apparently has some minor flaws to iron out, the initial report is that the calls were correct as it applies to the defined strike zone.
I can't help but wonder how far we'll try to go with this technology, though. Perfection is a standard we should all strive for in whatever we do, but it's the imperfections that make life interesting and, dare I say, fun?
The problem with taking this position is that it appears I want calls to be incorrect. Of course, that's not true.
The foundation of this position is the human element. And more and more, we're seeing that disappear from a lot of games we enjoy. Especially in baseball. The emergence of analytics gives us managers who use relief pitchers and the defensive shift as frequently as we use paper towels, and replay robs us of spontaneous joy and heartbreak.
Point is, it's the emotions we experience during games that we remember the most.
Remember that game you were at where your team scored the winning run with a walk-off? How you jumped for joy with your arms above your head and you cheered yourself hoarse? Remember how tense you were before that play and how the celebration released all of that tension?
Hold on, we need to review that play. So we wait. And wait. And wait. And … OK, now you can celebrate.
It's not quite the same, is it?
Now, we're on the verge of taking the strike zone away from human judgement. One more connection tied to subjectivity that, for better or worse, creates the unique draw we have to baseball because not every situation is identical. Every pitch is a bit of a surprise, to an extent.
It's an emotional investment in the game, which is what keeps us coming back for more. Take that emotion away and what are we left with?
The chief request we have from players and umpires alike is that they be consistent. And as much as they may try, it doesn't always happen.
Because we're human, and the inconsistencies are what produce the results that spark the emotions from players and fans.
And if you're not a baseball person because you think "the game is boring," just wait until every call is exactly the same because of robots.
If there is no room for error, then there is no room for emotion.

This October we're partnering with Polished Man, a YGAP initiative, to end violence against children.
1 in 5 children experience violence before the age of 18. That's one too many.
Sign up to Polished Man today, tick the box that states "join the movement" and we'll shout you a free burger EVERY DAY between the 4th – 12th of October 2016.
It all starts with painting a fingernail. That nail leads to a conversation. That conversation inspires a donation. That donation allows for prevention and protection.
Doing good has never tasted so good.
Polished Man challenges men to nail it to end it. Polished Man also encourages women around the world to rally behind the Polished Men in their life and celebrate positive masculinity by telling the world they prefer a Polished Man.
Our free burger offer is open to polished men and women who have joined the movement. Women must have a significantly different coloured nail to redeem the free burger offer.


Dearly loved mother and mother-in-law of Eleanor (dec) and Anne & David.

Will be greatly missed by her loving dog Holly.
A graveside service for Carol will be held at Gungahlin Cemetery, Sandford Street, Mitchell on Thursday 14th February, commencing at 11am.
"Dear Anne So sorry to read of Carol's passing only after..."
"Farewell Carol. You will be remembered by your fellow..."


Finely chop all the "Filling" ingredients and mix with 'The Marinade'.
To make the chilli sauce, mix all the sauces and chicken stock together and bring to boil in wok. Reduce by ½ until it reaches a smooth dripping consistency.
Slice the courgette into 2mm thick slices for the dumplings to sit on top.
In a separate mixing bowl, measure out the wheat starch, tapioca starch and cornflour and bring a kettle of water to boil. Once the water has boiled, immediately pour in 220ml boiling water into the flour and mix well with a wooden spoon (It's best to place the mixing bowl of flour directly on a set of weighing scales to measure out the boiling hot water).
Add 10g vegetable oil to the hot dough and start to knead the dough vigorously with the palms of your hands until smooth. Once smooth, cover with cling film or place in a zip lock food bag.
3.Once the sauce, the filling and dough are ready, start to roll your dough into small circles of pastry and fold into your desired shape. The easiest way to fold the dumpling is to squeeze together into a half moon shape.
Place the dumplings on top of a lightly oiled slice of courgette and into a steam basket.
Steam for 4-5 minutes until the pastry is clear. Serve with the chilli sauce on the base of the plate and the slice of courgette and dumplings on top.

Another Take: What was the point in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'?
Despite great performances, this movie is aimless and lost.
Davis Pittman
I could not wait to see this film. I mean, it's Tarantino for God's sakes. Whenever he comes out with something, I'm gonna be seeing it. He has one of the most stellar records in Hollywood, his films are just special. What I've always loved about his filmography is the excellent storytelling and the incredibly strong performances. Because the writing is always so good, he never has any issue getting A list actors to bring his stories to life. So as I walked into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I was expecting yet another fantastic story with great performances; well I got great performances.
Now I do want to be clear… I'm not saying these characters aren't interesting or that they were portrayed poorly, but they don't really have arcs and it's tough to care about what's happening to them. I mean you can't get much better than Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. They're both fantastic actors and give it their all here. This film is full of strong performances, which makes it that much more frustrating that these wonderful actors don't have too much of a story to work their characters into. I suppose the magnitude of the performances and the skillful direction was enough to put this over the top for a lot of people. While those things are very needed, I also needed there to be a purpose and I missed Tarantino's storytelling so much. I could just feel this hole missing as I watched, thinking wow this thing just does not care does it? Structure, character arcs and storytelling just aren't priorities here.
I think it's a real shame Tarantino didn't prioritize these things because Once Upon a Time in Hollywood had so much potential, all the right ingredients. I realize many will disagree with me on this one, but I just felt really let down by this film. I left the theater thinking: "what was the point and how could a Tarantino film be that lost??"
Is it good?
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood doesn't prioritize storytelling, so while it features great performances, it feels very aimless and lost.
Skilled direction
No storyline at all
The pacing feels very uneven
No real scructure
Characters aren't that interesting

Russia, US lock horns at WTO over Ukraine crisis sanctions
AFP , Thursday 8 May 2014
Still no sign of Russian troop pullback from Ukraine border: NATO
Independence vote in east Ukraine will go ahead: Rebels
Germany praises Putin's 'constructive tone' on Ukraine
Putin 'talking through his hat' says sceptical Ukraine PM
Russia on Thursday accused the United States of breaching the rules of global commerce by slapping sanctions on its banking sector over the Ukraine crisis, at a World Trade Organization session.
Sources familiar with the talks said Moscow used a regular, closed-door meeting of the WTO's Council for Trade in Services, which covers cross-border commerce in areas including banking, finance and insurance, to criticise Washington's recent actions over Ukraine.
Moscow's trade delegation said Washington's sanctions are preventing Russian service suppliers from exercising their trading rights fairly and therefore put them at a disadvantage in the global economy, the sources said.
The United States hit back, saying that it took its WTO obligations seriously and had assessed its sanctions package carefully to ensure it did not break the rules.
Washington's stance was backed by the European Union's trade delegates. Brussels' own sanctions against Russia did not come under attack by Moscow at the meeting, sources said.
Neither the US nor Russian delegation made reference to specific companies during the meeting, though Moscow said that one bank has been particularly affected, without naming it.
On Tuesday Washington said that Rossiya Bank, which is linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, had lost $1 billion (720 million euros) in deposits since March and was forced to sell $500 million (360 million euros) in bonds to maintain liquidity.
The US Treasury said its measures -- imposed over the escalating unrest in eastern Ukraine which is blamed on Moscow's meddling -- had taken a toll on the Russian economy and warned more measures were possible.
The sanctions have so far stimulated heavy capital flight from Russia and plunged growth to near zero, it said, threatening to impose more if Moscow did not stop interfering in Ukraine and supporting pro-Russia separatists.
The Geneva-based WTO polices global trade accords in an effort to offer its 159 member economies a level playing field.
Russia, which joined in 2012 after a negotiating process that started in the 1990s, has not said whether it will seek to open a full-blown WTO dispute over the sanctions.
The WTO's dispute-settlement body has the power to authorise retaliatory trade measures against a country found at fault.
But disputes at the WTO are often highly complex and technical, and can last for several years as appeals and assessments of compliance are carried out.

Christina Applegate reveals she has multiple sclerosis
10/08/2021 Empiregist	0 Comments	Christina Applegate, Emmy Awards, Emmy Awards 2019
Emmy Award-winner Christina Applegate has announced that she has multiple sclerosis, describing her diagnosis as a "tough road."
The 49-year-old actor known for her roles in "Married… with Children" and "Dead to Me," said in a tweet late Monday that she was diagnosed "a few months ago."
"It's been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition," wrote Applegate. "It's been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going." She added in a later post: "Now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing."

Multiple sclerosis — also known as MS — affects the nervous system and often results in progressive physical and cognitive decline.
More than 2.3 million people have a diagnosis of MS worldwide, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Nearly 1 million people over the age of 18 live with a diagnosis of MS in the US, the nonprofit organization adds.
Applegate won her Emmy in 2003 for a guest spot on "Friends" and has a Tony Award nomination for the musical "Sweet Charity." Her films include "The Sweetest Thing," "Anchorman," "Hall Pass" and "Bad Moms."
She has previously discussed her 2008 battle with breast cancer, after which she had a double mastectomy as well as her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed.

Standard fonts are often difficult for people with dyslexia to read, the words and letters seem jumbled or look too similar to differentiate. Dutch designer Christian Boer, who has dyslexia himself, took matters into his own hands by creating a typeface that makes reading easier for those who have trouble with traditional text.
Boer, a graphic designer and a graduate of the Utrecht Art Academy, developed the Dyslexie font for his final thesis project. He wanted to make reading less of a struggle for people like himself and so, instead of designing a font on its aesthetic features alone, he gave each character a unique form.

North Carolina Health Officials Urge Schools To Reopen
WFAE | By Bryan Anderson | Associated Press
Published March 3, 2021 at 6:24 PM EST
NC Department of Public Safety
RALEIGH — The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services called Wednesday on all K-12 public schools to offer in-person instruction "to the fullest extent possible" to the roughly 1.5 million students in the state.
The more aggressive guidance was released minutes before Senate Republicans resumed their attempt to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of legislation that would mandate — not just urge — K-12 school districts to offer in-person instruction to all students.
"Extensive research tells us we can bring students back to the classroom with the right measures in place," said Mandy Cohen, the state's top public health official. "And students need in-person school not only for academics, but to learn social skills, get reliable meals and to continue to grow and thrive."
The updated reopening instructions gives schools "operational flexibility." But they task local education leaders with understanding what health practices they must meet and developing detailed plans on how to implement the updated guidance.
Middle and high schools must adhere to stricter reopening requirements, such as 6 feet of physical distancing. While elementary school students are allowed to remain seated inside classrooms without that amount of physical separation, they should be aware of their space and must wear face coverings if they are at least 5 years old.
Meanwhile, families must be given a remote learning option if they self-identify as being at high risk of becoming severely ill if exposed to COVID-19. "Schools should only use remote learning options for higher-risk students and for families opting for remote learning for their children," a state health department news release said.
All schools are required to provide teachers, families, school staff and students with information on how to access mental health and wellness resources. They are also encouraged to make available more on-site social workers.
Cooper vetoed a proposal written by state Republican lawmakers and supported by several Democrats that would force the state's 115 K-12 public school districts to provide at least partial in-person learning. Cooper was concerned the bill didn't comply with state health guidelines and wouldn't give schools the flexibility to shut down in the event of an emergency, such as a surge in viral transmission.
After receiving his first Pfizer vaccine dose at the WakeMed Raleigh Campus on Wednesday, the governor told reporters he spoke with lawmakers from both parties earlier that day about how to improve the vetoed bill. Senate Republicans fell just short in succeeding with an override vote on Monday.
"There are some issues of degree that we disagree on, but we should be able to come to an agreement," he said. "I believe that our children need to be back in the classroom. We just need to make sure that it is done safely, and we need to make sure that officials have emergency power to deal with things like a variant that could go tearing through our population in schools."
Without debate or a recorded vote on Wednesday, the state Senate approved a parliamentary maneuver allowing it to vote a second time on an override at a later date.
One Democrat who co-sponsored the bill, Sen. Ben Clark of Hoke County, was absent Monday, working for his full-time employer. Republicans ended up needing one more vote in order to advance the override to the House.
Clark hasn't said how he would vote on an override but said Wednesday he prefers a compromise being hammered out between Cooper and GOP leaders. Wednesday's action means Republicans could hold another override vote as long as they give Democrats at least 24 hours' notice, though that likely wouldn't happen Thursday, Senate Leader Phil Berger told reporters.
Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue said Republicans should "stop the political charade and work with us to pass a bill that the governor can sign."
But Berger said Wednesday's action by DHHS shows that the legislation has put pressure on more school districts to reopen.
"The most effective way for the Democrats to urge schools to open is to override the veto," Berger said, adding that "the goal needs to be to get all of our schools into five-day-a-week, in-person instruction."

Bill set out a couple of the cars to show the insides in more detail. They are fully detailed inside and outside, amd the circus equipment can be all set up. I apologise for the quality of the photos. These were taken during the show, so I was not able to set up the tripod or lights. Maybe Bill will let me photograph some or all of these at his home some time, so that they will more truly represent the quality of the cars.
When on the flatcar, the sides are on the wagon and you can't see the tigers. The level of detail is truly amazing!
You may have noticed several of these wagons on the train. They all open up to provide seating for the spectators.
If there is interest, I can post some more pictures. The originals are much higher quality, about 800KB each, and if anyone wants copies of the originals let me know and I will mail them out.

There's not a whole lot to say about installing hinges, other than these Brusso hinges are gorgeous. Their fine reputation is very well deserved. They are very nicely finished, pleasingly thick, all precisely the same size, and made in the U.S.A. They are also thoughtfully packaged with the screws in a plastic bag separate from the hinges to avoid scratching in transit. As for screws, they send a full set of brass screws and one stainless screw to use for setting up. My only complaint is that the brass screws have cross-point heads. I'm an traditionalist who wants slotted brass screws for hinges. Some are on order.
In the meantime, I've used stainless screws for the initial installation.

Puyi, the Xuantong Emperor
December 16, 2020 Isaac Meyer 1 Comment
China's last emperor ended up becoming one of history's strangest political pawns, and ended his life as an avowed communist. How did a man born into unimaginable wealth end up penning a memoir about the evils of the landlord class? And was his disavowal of his privileged upbringing genuine, or was he the victim of a justice system that perfected the art of brainwashing prisoners?

Interesting post, it reminds me the of the Forbidden City and the Last Emperor, Pu Yi who said "As I cried, screaming that I did not want to leave my parents, I was forced into a palanquin that took me back to the Forbidden City. "
I tried to write a blog about Pu Yi, hope you also like it : https://stenote.blogspot.com/2018/09/an-interview-with-pu-yi.html

Business continuity planning, encompassing disaster recovery, minimises the impact of an incident on an organisation by ensuring alternate processes are in place for key operational functions. Business continuity planning looks to preserve assets as well as an organisation's ability to achieve its mission, retain acceptable levels of productivity, customer service, and ultimately to stay in business.
Can an organisation be too small for business continuity planning? Business continuity planning is not consigned to large organisations; any provider of a service or product, whether it is financial, manufacturing, distribution or sales, is equally exposed to the effects of a disaster. Are you prepared if something goes wrong?
Surely a business continuity plan is not needed if adequate insurance is in place?
Quite simply insurance does not buy back lost business, it only provides money. If this is not received immediately it could adversely affect cash flow, subsequent profits and client goodwill. Studies suggest that typically only 60% of actual losses are covered. Could your organisation survive the loss? Disaster does not just occur following an incident on a grand scale. A small incident, over a short period, impacting a key process, could severely disrupt an organisation; for example, an incident in the local area that requires evacuation of the premises for hours or even days. Computers still run, phones still work and infrastructure is unharmed but there is no access to any of it until the incident is resolved. Interruption threats come from multiple sources; some more likely than others. Premises may be substantially flooded, destroying servers, or an organisation may be the victim of theft. A business continuity plan examines the likelihood of this happening and considers a response relative to the risk.
It is vital to determine what would be addressed first following an incident. Who would be contacted first? How would staff be notified? To do this you need to examine your organisation, its people, its critical processes and how these are dependent upon considerations such as IT and infrastructure support, internal dependencies and suppliers.
Incident containment and recovery solutions are numerous and varied. If a flood for example, prevented access to your premises, could client service levels continue uninterrupted? The chance of this happening would be greatly increased by your staff logging in from home until full recovery is achieved. Without plans such as this in place how can you convey a level of operational confidence to your clients?
There are many factors and aspects of business continuity. It is important to be realistic and think sensibly about how your organisation would cope with a disruptive incident. Business continuity is about mitigating the impact of this incident by minimising financial losses and protecting your organisation's reputation.
The solutions are not just quick fixes but long-term considerations. It is possible to survive an incident, but not necessarily possible to recover from the long term impact.
Business continuity concerns each and every organisation. Business systems must be resilient. If business continuity planning fails, so does that of an organisations clients. Not being able to access data, emails, and premises, or even make a phone call all have the potential to damage a business - and that is only the start. A second reason why business continuity is vital is that organisations expect IT support on demand. A business should commit to investment in failover systems in multiple locations, home working and standby power generation on-site, this way directors can be confident that a robust set of business continuity contingencies will be there.
The following pages highlight some key areas of IT business continuity that an organisation should consider. Business continuity is a huge area and this is by no means a definitive guide. What this section will hopefully do is stimulate thoughts and further questions about how you can implement cost-effective IT business continuity plans.
IT business continuity planning needs to address both the hardware and data contained within the system. This section highlights some of the ways you can build protection around your system. It is essential to ensure comprehensive planning is in place by using highly resilient servers, secondary power supplies, dual Internet connections, redundant storage and uninterruptable power supplies. As well as this it is recomended that companies use thin client technologies, such as Citrix and Microsoft® Terminal Services, for remote access, and virtual servers to provide both flexibility and resilience.
You can build a lot of resilience into your IT system hardware. The aim when creating a resilient system is to remove any single point of failure. Hard disks used to store your applications and data are a likely point of failure, making them an area of risk and a key place in which to build resilience. You can build storage resilience by using a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID). By using RAID your system can lose a hard disk and still function without interruption, giving you time to replace the failed disk.
Another way to build resilience is to address the potential failure of power supplies. IT systems prefer clean power supplies; power outages or even dirty power can cause serious problems. You can build resilience into your servers by having hotspare power supplies receiving power from different sources. This way, if one source fails the other continues whilst the failed supply is fixed. As a minimum you should have all your servers on Uninterruptable Power Supplies or UPSs as they are more commonly referred to. UPSs continually clean and smooth the spikes out of power that is provided. In the event of a power outage UPSs keep servers running long enough to safely close them down or switch to an alternative power supply. If you cannot afford to have servers down, then you need to consider alternative power supplies like standby generators that kick in automatically if they detect a power outage.
Using more than one Internet Service Provider (ISP) builds added resilience into your communications infrastructure. If one communication link fails, the other can take over. However, just having different ISPs providing broadband connections is not always enough. A further consideration should be to ensure your links to the Internet do not use the same means of connection. ISPs often use the same cable and exchange, meaning that should there be a problem between your office and the exchange, it is likely you will lose both connections. To avoid this it is recomended implementing an alternative method of connecting to the Internet such as a radio link.
Up until recently servers were built and optimised for the hardware and operating system they were running on. Now with the availability of more powerful hardware these physical servers can host multiple operating systems. Each hosted operating system is known as a virtual server. These virtual servers run their own operating systems independently of the host and the other virtual servers. Because they are no longer dependant on the hardware they are running on, it is now very easy to transfer or replicate a virtual server from one physical host to another dissimilar physical host. For business continuity purposes, restoring a server onto dissimilar hardware is a long and complicated process, but with virtual servers the process is far easier and takes a lot less time due to their hardware independence.
Another advantage of virtual servers is that it is possible to run more than one virtual server on a physical host server, thus taking advantage of any spare processing capacity on the server. Also, in a business continuity scenario it is possible to have a few powerful physical servers hosting a number of virtual servers at a remote location, be it a branch office or a hosting centre. Virtual servers can be easily replicated or restored onto these hosts at the other location ready to be enabled in the case of a business continuity scenario.
For a number of years now it has been possible to access systems remotely as if you were sitting at your computer in the office. Typically you would have a Citrix server, or servers, hosting thin client sessions for each of your users. Users might be sitting in the head office, at a branch or even at home, and can access a server via the Internet. Thin clients offer great advantages in business continuity planning; for example if Citrix servers were used at both the office and the branch office or hosting centre and an incident occurred it would be easy to redirect Citrix thin client sessions to the other Citrix server. This would allow the workforce to carry on working unaffected by the incident.
In order to reduce the time it takes to recover a server or data, replication should be considered. There are a number of different ways of replicating servers and data to other storage devices or servers. By using other storage devices data still has to be recovered. However, if data is replicated to other standby servers it is simply a case of enabling the servers, meaning you can be up and running again quickly using a recent copy of your data. Ideally these standby servers, with the replicated data on them, would be housed at a different location, be it a branch office or a hosting centre.
Having considered your hardware, you also need to address the challenge of protecting your data. Both traditional solutions and new emerging technologies play a key role in comprehensive data protection.
To ensure internal data is protected it is desirable to have implemented a series of solutions. In addition to traditional tape backups many organisations have implemented technology such as Microsoft® System Centre Data Protection Manager (DPM). Due to the massive business benefits DPM offers, it is considered it a key part of any comprehensive business continuity plan.
Tapes have traditionally been the most widely used form of backing up data on an IT system. During off-peak hours, the system is backed up to tape. Tapes should then be checked to see if the process has been successful and then taken off-site. This off-site location ensures protection of the data should an incident such as a fire occur.
Backup tapes are a great form of cost-effective backup, but it is important to be aware of associated limitations. A large amount of data can be backed up onto one tape with the process typically being performed out of hours. This in itself might not suit some companies as off-peak hours are less common due to flexible working. Because of the way data is backed up onto tape, recovery times can be quite lengthy as the data has to be located on the tape before it can be restored. In addition, if an incident occurs at the end of the working day, the recovery point back to the last backup would be the night before, meaning that you could lose an entire day's work.
Continuous data protection is a solution where, as the name suggests, a system's data is continually being backed up. This removes the issues associated with traditional tape backups in that downtime is not necessary as your data is being backed up continuously as changes are made. In order to enable this type of solution, adequate disk storage is required to store the most recent revised data. A snapshot of this data can then be taken periodically; for example daily, and the snapshots can be backed up to tape for longer term storage at your leisure.
Microsoft® System Centre Data Protection Manager (DPM) is a solution based on near continuous data protection.
Another factor DPM addresses is human error. Traditional tape backups require someone to check the previous night's backup and swap the tapes. Quite often it is assumed that last night's backup happened without any problems and the tapes are duly swapped. If for some reason the backup failed and no one noticed, the tape would be useless. DPM can back up from itself to another DPM server in another location, across the Internet or a wide area network. This can happen automatically and does not require human intervention. Using this method an off-site copy of the system is automatically provided each day. Though tape backups are still recommended for longer term storage, this automatic backup reduces the need to rely solely on them.
In the event of a major incident at your main site, data on your second DPM server can be quickly and easily restored onto alternative servers meaning that you could be up and running quickly. Combine this with virtual servers and thin clients and you have a very cost-effective business continuity plan.

Let's face it, sanitation is one of those subjects we are never likely to discuss during our daily conversations. It is also something we take for granted, since we typically never have to worry about it. Even when it does become an issue, we just pick up the phone and call out friendly local plumber.
Yet during a disaster it is something that becomes very important. Where are you going to go? Is water available to flush? Will you be taking precious potable water for your sanitation purposes? Can you keep it away from your food supplies? What about the smell?
Again, not the most pleasant subject matter, but extremely important since this is something if not done properly can quickly spread disease compounding an already difficult situation.
Another important factor to consider is how many people you have, especially if you are in the workplace or anywhere you have a large number of people. For instance a good rule of thumb is one portable toilet for every seventy-five occupants.
If you are in a location such as your home, or small office and you do not have enough water to both sustain your daily water intake needs and your sanitation needs consider setting up the following type system.
Convert a 5 gallon bucket fitted with toilet lid. Use heavy duty garbage bags and double bag for each use. After using, if available add a chemical agent to both reduce smells and aid in braking down the waste to the bag, and close the bags to avoid spillage. Remove tha bags and place them into either a metal (preferred) garbage can with tight fitting lid or a heavy duty plastic barrel with a tight fitting lid. This will keep the smell levels low, and reduce insect and rodent issues.
Clearly mark the garbage cans human waste so that anyone tasked with removal can readily identify them without having to open the containers.
If you are in a workplace environment, or apartment complex they should as part of their contingency planning have a vendor lined up to bring portable sanitation in, and provide for its removal. This should be done ahead of time so that it makes for fast and easy response from the vendor.
One last thing. Make sure you get all these supplies and vendors lined up ahead of time, otherwise it will be too late if you need them and don't have them if a disaster strikes.
Last week I gave you the tip about keeping important documents in ziplock bags. This week I am recommending that you keep digital copies of these documents on a USB key in your disaster kit.
If you have to evacuate quickly due to a disaster or other event you may have a limited amount of time to gather important documents before you have to leave. In addition to limited time, it is also easy to forget something while you are preparing to leave.
While you are fleeing there is a good chance that items may become lost, damaged etc. Having the items stored digitally gives you an advantage of having the information at your finger tips to read off to someone, and in some cases you may have an easier time replacing the documents.
If possible store a digital copy of the document in pdf format and use notepad to enter important information about the documents such as ID numbers, and other important information for each document.
The reason for this is you may not have access to a computer that can easily open the digital document, but you should at least be able to find a computer that will allow you to read the text based documents.
The main idea here is to speed up your ability to replace the documents should you need to do so, and proving it is you will speed the process up a bit.
If you can also include recent and updated photos of each family member in case you become separated.
How Safe Are Your Memories?
Recently I had the pleasure of working on a unique project co-authoring an article with someone I know that does scrap booking, and photo management. That person is Karen Siegel Fitting . I like projects like this not just because it forces me to think outside the box but also because it gets people to think differently about disaster preparedness.
That article is below in its entirety for your enjoyment and if you love scrap booking, photography or have lots of photos please take the time to visit Karen Siegel Fitting's website where you will learn plenty about the subject of photo management.
Photos, when lost, are often the one thing people wish they had saved. Homes, computers, furniture can all be repaired or replaced. It often takes a loss for us to realize how important it is to make backups. Here are some tips for implementing a system right now.
Keep your most cherished printed albums near the door so you can 'grab & go' in the event of emergency evacuation. This might be wedding or genealogy albums that are irreplaceable. Of course, there are great scanning solutions that are inexpensive and well worth the effort to have an electronic version - just in case.
Having a USB drive that contains current family pictures is a great safety measure. During a disaster, it will be important to show recent photos to aid in search & rescue, especially for children. Many mobile phones have space for a memory card - consider taking pictures of your family right from your phone and save it to that card. Remember though, the key is to have current day pictures so update them, at least quarterly, for growing children.
Backing up to CD or DVD and keeping them in a fire safe box might be considered common practice. Be aware. Paper burns at 400 degrees and standard fire safes are rated for 350 degrees. CDs, DVDs, and photographs melt and become destroyed at around 150 degrees. Depending on the importance of your images, there are safes on the market that will accommodate you though they are more expensive than standard fire safes. You will want to know how long they can survive in the heat as well as their temperature rating.
CDs and DVDs also have a limited use and actually wear down in time; even the ones that are not re-writable typically become worn down after using them about 1,000 times. If you decide to back up to CD or DVD make sure you make extra copies and store them in a safe place away from heat. One copy to use and another to store may be a good idea.
As an alternative, there are external hard drives and servers at reasonable prices that can withstand fire for at least 30 minutes as well as flooding. We are seeing the improvement of technology to help us keep our memories safe at a great price! In addition, it is worth considering the use of an internet based back-up solution for the most important images.... Just in case.
Now the question to ask is manual vs. automatic back up? Even though the manual backup may take longer, you have more assurance it is getting done. Using a trusted, reliable automatic backup will be more efficient; however it is up to you to make sure you double check that it is doing the job well. A blend of these options is your best solution to lessen the risk of potential loss.
Our computers are becoming the modern day shoebox for our photos and important memories. It is even more important today to make sure those memories last for future generations to enjoy.
Karen Siegel Fitting has been helping her clients keep up-to-date with their photos for over 7 years. Since January, 2009 her clients have completed over 30 albums, hundreds of pages, and have maintained sanity in the effort of keeping their photos managed.

Rhinoseeds is listed as "gray" at the SeedFinder. This means we do not have very much info about this seedbank - you should have a view to the user-reviews or try by self at your own risk.
Seeds finally came after 2 months. Paid extra money for tracking but you couldnt track them after they shipped. Seeds never did generate. Sent email to them about this but didnt hear anything back. Will never order from them again!
This was my first ever order with Rhino Seeds and I can already tell that Im not returning to them. This experience was horrible and its not finished yet.
First of all, they charged my Credit Card more money than it said on my order confirmation email.
Second, they charged me this very amount not once, but TWICE. I noticed this around 1 week later and if I wouldnt have mentioned it they wouldnt have said anything.
Third, they sent my package with a delivery option that required a signature, although I asked for the opposite. This resulted into my order being delayed even further and now, more than 3 weeks after I first placed the order Im yet to receive my package.
Their customer support did mean well though as they sent a package of free seeds to me in the meantime to compensate this inconvenience. Unfortunately, this was not was I wanted and it didnt help my initial problem.
After all I have to say that theyre still at the beginning of their journey and they do mean well and they might eventually make it. At this stage, they didnt yet, though and ordering with them is stressful and rather inconvenient.
Made my first order at Rhino about a month ago. Seeds I wanted were out of stock so I took their suggestion for a substitute because I didnt want to wait another day or two for them to ship out. They arrived pretty quickly, I had no germ issues, and the new plants look great. Very happy customer right here.
No problems, order arrived in a few days. Got some free seeds. Have not germinated any so cant tell quality.

The 2021 ComicBook.com Golden Issue Award for Game of the Year
By Logan Moore - December 28, 2021 05:00 pm EST
2021 has been filled with awesome video games from start to finish, but within any calendar year, there is always one game that seems to separate itself from the pack. Whether it be because of story, gameplay, technical elements, or a mix of all of the above, one studio seems to always go one step further with what we have come to expect from the gaming medium. And while there was perhaps no single title that launched in 2021 that lit the world ablaze, there were more overall strong contenders this year than we have seen in quite some time. At the end of the day, though, one game did end up rising above the best to achieve our most coveted gaming award.
And the winner of the 2021 ComicBook.com Golden Issue Award for Game of the Year is...
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart from Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios!
In our first full year following the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, the latest installment in Sony's long-running Ratchet & Clank series gave us a fantastic idea of what these new consoles will actually be capable of. Rift Apart isn't just one of the most visually stunning games that we have ever seen on a home console, but it also uses the power of the PS5's SSD to seamlessly transport players through a multitude of different environments without any loading whatsoever. From top to bottom, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was built with the PS5 in mind and the end product greatly proves this.
Even outside of how technically impressive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is, it's also one of the most enjoyable games of the year purely from a gameplay standpoint. Insomniac Games has always been well-known for giving players a number of unique weapons and gadgets to utilize in this series, and Rift Apart takes that explosive combat to a whole new level. Combine this fantastic gameplay with one of the stronger Ratchet & Clank stories we've ever seen and the excellent addition of the franchise's new character, Rivet, and you have the makings of something special. Not only is Rift Apart the best PS5 game that we've likely seen so far, but we think it's the top game that released in the entirety of this year.
While Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was our own favorite game here at ComicBook.com over the course of 2021, it certainly had some stiff competition for this honor. Be sure to let us know over on social media whether you agree or disagree with our own choice for GOTY.
Congrats to the team behind Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on their Golden Issue Awards win!
The nominees for Game of the Year are:
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart — WINNER

WWE 2K22 Reveals First Look at Sheamus

Q: React-Native Upgrade 0.26 "Super expression must either be null or a function, not null" After upgrading from ReactNative 0.25 to 0.26 i get this well known error:
"Super expression must either be null or a function, not null".
I know that the most common reason is to import 'Component' from 'react-native' instead from 'react'.
But in all my components i do it right apparently:
import React, { Component } from 'react';

Has anyone experienced another root cause for this error? For now, i create a second, complete new project and try to build it up from  scratch with the already existing code of the main project until the error may occur someday. But this is really a time killer....
I don't use RNMK-Library, which is known for this deprecation.
