Hank Preston, Network engineering
Hank started his career in network engineering like many, by cracking open a CCNA book and learning all about subnetting, the OSI model, and CLI interfaces. He fell in love with the deceptive simplicity and elegance of network communication and TCP/IP and dove in head first. His journey was one that included many network designs (and debates about designs), miles of copper/fiber cables, late night change windows, and even later night troubleshooting calls (it's always the network… even when it isn't :-). Along the way he picked up certifications in routing/switching, wireless, and security, culminating with earning CCIE #38336 in February 2013. After spending a couple of years exploring the world of "Cloud", "DevOps" and "Applications", the talk of SDN, automation and programmability caught his ears, and he decided it was past time to return to networking full time. As a NetDevOps Evangelist with DevNet, Hank now has the wonderful opportunity to help fellow engineers in this transition, as well as shape and accelerate Cisco's own journey and evolution in this new "Programmable Age" of networking.

Emerging, digital technologies redefining how businesses operate. An increasingly diversified and skilled labour force. An aging population and millennial boom. These trends are changing Canada's business landscape in profound and unprecedented ways. Find out how you can prepare your business for tomorrow's trends in this session from Cisco and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC).
Forbes predicts that 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud by 2020. Yet cloud adoption in the Contact Center market today remains below the classic tipping point threshold of 15%. How can this be?
66% of IT professionals say security is their chief concern in adopting an enterprise cloud computing strategy, and 50% believe artificial intelligence and machine learning factor in significantly as well. But simply put, these are not core competencies or issues that can be adequately addressed by current providers.
With more than 30,000 Contact Center customers and 3 Million agents supported today, and with an unassailable reputation for global cyber security and billions invested in companies that are feeding into our AI and Machine learning practice, Cisco is poised to play a massively disruptive and disproportionate role in bringing advanced Customer Journey services to the cloud. This exciting session will introduce the four key pillars of Cisco's Customer Journey Solutions Cloud Strategy:
Global cybersecurity that technology stakeholders can trust
A hybrid services approach deconstructing and de-risking migration to the cloud
AI, Machine Learning, and Cross-Tier Data Synthesis
Extension and enrichment of the CCaaS stack through the integration of features, capabilities, data – and even users – from the UC stack and other cross-category solutions.
This session will look at some of the tools Cisco offer to build Private Clouds and consume Public Clouds. Specifically we will provide an overview and demonstrate the capabilities of Cisco HyperFlex for building a Private Cloud experience on your premises, App Dynamics to monitor your Application performance, and Cisco Workload Optimization Manager to maximize your investment in both your Private Cloud and the Public Cloud.
Using concise and relevant demonstrations, this session will provide a clear overview of how Cisco is integrating our Software and Hardware solutions to assist customers in getting the best value from their infrastructure, as well as to see how our tools help in managing your public Cloud services.
Data Analytics is one of the most disruptive technologies the world has ever seen. This session will help you better understand the core principles of Data Analytics, including common data architectures, tools, and implications to the network. You will learn about the fundamentals of Fog Computing and how it is being used in IoT and other industries. You will also see a live demo Cisco Kinetic and gain an understanding how this technology is an enabler for distributed data management and analytics.
This session will focus on how the Cisco Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) has developed the people, process and tools to fight the security battle against constantly evolving threats to Cisco business in both Enterprise and Cloud. During this session the focus will be on the inner workings of the CSIRT team in order to provide insights, best practices and lessons learned from deep within the trenches of an Enterprise Incident Response team, as well as how CSIRT is able to effectively drive change within Cisco by using data drive analytics in support of security architecture.
In this session, we'll interact with Ransomware to witness how it successfully unfolds across the attack chain in any environment. Then, we'll test-drive how Cisco solutions accelerate and automate incident response, systematically making the unknown known while delivering real-time visibility and control right at your fingertips.
Get the most out of the session by arriving with the details of how long each response step took during your last incident, so you can measure the specific impact to your organization.
Intent-based Networking enables operators to express the expected network behavior in abstracted policy terms ('what'), instead of prescribing the network's functionality in low-level configurations ('how'). This session introduces the concept of IBN and describes its four main capabilities: translating abstracted expressions of higher-level business policies into network configurations, automating the implementation into the network, continuously validating the business intent by observing the network state in real-time, and taking corrective actions in case of deviations.
During this session, we will learn how Cisco DNA Center can help customers deploy services across the network, deploy application policy across the network as well as how Cisco DNA Center can play a fundamental role in automation and troubleshooting tasks.
The high-level agenda includes the following topics:
Overview of Intent-based Networking & how it works
Breakdown how Intent-based Networking works
Understand how Cisco DNA Center is the foundation of Intent-based Networking
Look at some examples of Intent-based Networking
Cisco DNA Automation demo
The Internet is a network of networks, based on the Internet Protocol (IP). Internet Exchanges (IXs) have an efficiency role in the infrastructure. At an IX like TorIX, the networks of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, content providers, webhosters and the like, meet to exchange IP traffic with one another. This exchanging of regional, national and/or international IP traffic is generally known as "peering".
Every peer at the IX is in the position to exchange traffic directly with any of the other connected parties. In general, parties peer at an IX to decrease network costs, to improve network performance and to make their network more reliable. Improving network performance is achieved by accessing many networks directly at the exchange that otherwise would have taken several network 'hops' through other parties. The reliability is achieved by having many routes at the exchange through which traffic can be sent. Another key factor is that peering networks prefer the autonomy over their own network and traffic.
In the new world, large cloud providers are connecting directly to the IXs to become closer to their customers. In recent years TorIX has seen an exponential amount of Enterprise customers take advantage of, and also peer directly with the IX primary to have a large lower latency connection to their cloud providers and also benefit from other Content Delivery Networks and major network providers. telecommunications carriers, content providers, webhosters and the like, meet to exchange IP traffic with one another.

We have all had a chance to play with examples virtualization in our daily digital lives. The ability to take an application and "stick it" in a public and/or private cloud, thereby facilitating access to the intrinsic features the application brings to us. We even had a chance to play with taking networking functions like routers, firewalls and, gasp, make them virtual in a cloud. But now comes the next idea: why not make the whole network virtual? From the Application, Wireless 4G/5G Radio Network, Packet Core and even Mobile network services? This concept, called "slicing" could finally deliver the promise of a personalized & customized end-to-end networking experience, solving privacy, security, quality and mobility in a single step, a huge step for Enterprise Networks. Join us for an in-depth review of Slicing: Horizontal Virtualization for 4G/5G Mobile networks.

Die Grafschaft Hanau ist ein Territorium des alten Deutschen Reiches. Sie ging aus der Herrschaft Hanau hervor und war lange Zeit in die Grafschaften Hanau-Münzenberg und Hanau-Lichtenberg geteilt. Nach dem Aussterben der Grafen von Hanau fiel der Hanau-Münzenberger Landesteil an die Landgrafschaft Hessen-Kassel, der Hanau-Lichtenberger an die Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt.

Erhebung zur Grafschaft
Als Kaiser Sigismund 1429 Reinhard II. von Hanau durch eine in Pressburg ausgestellte Urkunde in den Reichsgrafenstand erhob, wurde aus der Herrschaft Hanau die Grafschaft Hanau. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt kann man tatsächlich von einer "Grafschaft Hanau" sprechen, auch wenn der Begriff in der Literatur manchmal unscharf auch auf die Zeit angewandt wird, als das Territorium noch Herrschaft war. Der Grafentitel war ein äußeres Zeichen für einen Aufschwung, den die Grafschaft in der Regierungszeit Reinhards II. insgesamt nahm.

Teilung der Grafschaft
Mit dem Tod des Grafen Reinhard II. 1451 ergaben sich schnell dynastische Probleme. Bereits 1452 starb nach nur einjähriger Regierungszeit Reinhard III. Erbe war sein erst vier Jahre alter Sohn Philipp I., der Jüngere. Aus Angst um den Fortbestand der Familie einigten sich die Verwandten und andere wichtige Entscheidungsträger der Grafschaft, das Primogeniturstatut der Familie von 1375, eines der ältesten in Deutschland, nicht anzuwenden und dem Onkel des Erben und Bruder des verstorbenen Reinhard III., Philipp I., dem Älteren, das Amt Babenhausen aus dem Bestand der Grafschaft als eigene Grafschaft zukommen zu lassen. Diese Ausstattung ermöglichte ihm eine standesgemäße Heirat und das Zeugen erbberechtigter Nachkommen und erhöhte so die Sicherheit für den weiteren Bestand des Grafenhauses. Philipp d. Ä. heiratete 1458 Anna von Lichtenberg, Erbtochter Ludwigs V. von Lichtenberg. Nach dessen Tod 1473 erbten Anna und Philipp d. Ä. die Herrschaft Lichtenberg im unteren Elsass mit der Hauptstadt Buchsweiler. Hieraus entstand die Linie und Grafschaft Hanau-Lichtenberg. Philipp I. (der Jüngere) von Hanau und seine Nachkommen nannten sich in Unterscheidung dazu künftig "von Hanau-Münzenberg".

Wiedervereinigung

Erst im 17. Jahrhundert wurden die beiden Territorien wieder zu einer Grafschaft Hanau vereint. 1642 starb mit Johann Ernst der letzte Graf aus dem Haus Hanau-Münzenberg. Er stammte bereits aus der Seitenlinie Hanau-Münzenberg-Schwarzenfels. Damit war das Haus Hanau-Münzenberg erloschen. Gemäß einem Erbvertrag von 1610 zwischen Philipp Ludwig II. von Hanau-Münzenberg und Johann Reinhard I. von Hanau-Lichtenberg trat Hanau-Lichtenberg in die Erbfolge ein. Dort regierte zu dieser Zeit der erst neunzehnjährige Friedrich Casimir. Noch herrschte der Dreißigjährige Krieg, die Verwandtschaftsbeziehung zu dem verstorbenen letzten Hanau-Münzenberger war sehr weitläufig und der Herrschaftsantritt war keineswegs gesichert. Auf Schleichwegen und inkognito wurde Friedrich Casimir von seinem Vormund, Freiherr Georg II. von Fleckenstein-Dagstuhl, nach Hanau gebracht. Dort musste er sich zunächst gegenüber dem Patriziat der Neustadt Hanau verpflichten und diesem eine Reihe von Rechten zugestehen. Dazu zählte vor allem die Religionsfreiheit für die reformierte Konfession, die "Staatsreligion" in Hanau-Münzenberg, denn Hanau-Lichtenberg war lutherisch geblieben und Graf Friedrich Casimir war Lutheraner. Friedrich Casimir ließ für sich und seinen Hofstaat zunächst in der Schlosskapelle lutherische Gottesdienste abhalten. 1658–1662 wurde in Hanau eine eigene Kirche für die lutherische Gemeinde errichtet (heute: Alte Johanneskirche), die auch Begräbnisstätte des Grafenhauses wurde. Im Laufe der Zeit nahm die Zahl der Lutheraner zu und die Grafschaft wurde bikonfessionell. Lange Zeit standen sich die beiden konfessionellen Lager aber oft feindselig gegenüber, versuchten z. B. interkonfessionelle Ehen zu verhindern oder den Partner anderer Konfession für die eigene zu gewinnen.

1643 gelang es dann mit der Hilfe der Landgräfin Amalie Elisabeth von Hessen-Kassel, einer geborenen Gräfin von Hanau-Münzenberg, die Ansprüche Friedrich Casimirs auch gegenüber dem Erzbischof von Mainz durchzusetzen. Im Gegenzug schloss Friedrich Casimir mit der Landgräfin einen Erbvertrag, demnach Hessen-Kassel bei einem Aussterben des Hauses Hanau die Grafschaft Hanau-Münzenberg erben sollte. 1647 heiratete Friedrich Casimir die zwanzig Jahre ältere Witwe eines Vorgängers in der Regierung der Grafschaft Hanau-Münzenberg, des Grafen Philipp Moritz, Sibylle Christine von Anhalt-Dessau. Der Schritt war wohl der prekären Finanzlage der Grafschaft zuzuschreiben: So sparte man sich die Dotation für die Gräfin-Witwe. Allerdings blieb die Ehe kinderlos.

Wirtschaftliche Situation

Den Versuchen des Grafen in Sachen Frühmerkantilismus war nur gemischter Erfolg beschieden. 1661 wurde die erste deutsche Fayence-Manufaktur in Hanau gegründet, die erfolgreich produzierte. Andererseits beauftragte er den damals bekannten Ökonomen Johann Joachim Becher, Kontakt mit der Niederländischen Westindischen Kompanie aufzunehmen, mit dem Ziel, einen Landstrich in Niederländisch-Guayana (zwischen Orinoco und Amazonas) zu erwerben. 1669 schloss Graf Friedrich Casimir einen entsprechenden Vertrag, nach dem ein Königreich Hanauisch-Indien als hanauische Kolonie zwischen Orinoco und Amazonas in Niederländisch-Guayana gegründet werden sollte. Der Vertrag beinhaltete den Kauf eines Gebietes von über 3000 Quadratmeilen – die Grafschaft Hanau umfasste damals 44 Quadratmeilen. Das Unternehmen "Hanauisch-Indien" scheiterte sofort an den zunächst erforderlichen Anfangsinvestitionen, die die Grafschaft nicht aufbringen konnte, und dem Niederländisch-Französischen Krieg. Es hat in der Geschichte sonst keine Spuren hinterlassen.

Die Grafschaft Hanau war in der Folge finanziell so angeschlagen, dass Verwandte des Grafen beim Hofrat in Wien beantragten, Graf und Grafschaft unter Kuratel, eine Form der Zwangsverwaltung, zu stellen. Kaiser Leopold I. gab dem statt und ordnete die erbetene Kuratel an. 1670 unterwarf sich Friedrich Casimir diesem Spruch und regierte fortan wesentlich sparsamer. Er starb 1685.

Die letzten Grafen von Hanau

Das Erbe des kinderlos Verstorbenen traten die beiden Söhne seines Bruders Johann Reinhard II. von Hanau-Lichtenberg, die Grafen Philipp Reinhard in Hanau-Münzenberg und Johann Reinhard III. in Hanau-Lichtenberg an. Die Grafschaft Hanau war damit wieder geteilt. Allerdings verstarb Philipp Reinhard bereits 1712, so dass Johann Reinhard III. dann auch den Hanau-Münzenberger Landesteil erbte und die Grafschaft wieder vereinigte.

In dieser Zeit nahm die Grafschaft wirtschaftlich Aufschwung. Die Residenzstadt Hanau wurde barock ausgebaut, das Stadtschloss erweitert, ein Sommerschloss, Schloss Philippsruhe, errichtet, ebenso der Marstall, das Neustädter Rathaus und das Frankfurter Tor. Auch auf dem Land machte sich der Aufschwung bemerkbar: In vielen Dörfern der Grafschaft wurden nun – bedingt durch die konfessionelle Spaltung zwischen Lutheranern und Reformierten – zwei Kirchen, zwei Schulen, zwei Friedhöfe etc. unterhalten. Dieses bikonfessionelle System musste erst Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts mit der "Hanauer Union" aufgegeben werden, als in den napoleonischen Kriegen nicht mehr genug Geld da war, es zu unterhalten.

Das Erbe

1736 starb mit Johann Reinhard III. siebzigjährig der letzte männliche Vertreter des Grafenhauses. Aufgrund des Erbvertrags von 1643 fiel der Hanau-Münzenberger Landesteil an Hessen-Kassel, aufgrund der Ehe der einzigen Tochter des letzten Hanauer Grafen, Charlotte, mit dem Erbprinzen Ludwig (VIII.) von Hessen-Darmstadt der Hanau-Lichtenberger Anteil nach dort. Jahrzehntelang umstritten blieb zwischen Hessen-Kassel und Hessen-Darmstadt die Zugehörigkeit des Amtes Babenhausen zum Münzenberger oder Lichtenberger Erbteil. Dieser Streit wurde erst nach 40 Jahren durch eine Realteilung beigelegt.

Friedrich II. war 1749 heimlich zum römisch-katholischen Glauben übergetreten. In der Konsequenz trennte sich seine Frau Maria mit ihren gemeinsamen Kindern von ihm. Sein Vater, Landgraf Wilhelm VIII. von Hessen-Kassel übertrug daraufhin die Grafschaft Hanau an seinen Enkel, Wilhelm IX., und setzte dessen Mutter Maria, eine Tochter des englischen Königs Georg II., als Regentin während der Minderjährigkeit von Wilhelm (IX.) ein. Friedrich II., der 1760 seinen Vater als Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel beerbt hatte, unternahm in der Folge mehrere Versuche, die Grafschaft Hanau wieder mit Hessen-Kassel zu vereinigen. Sie scheiterten aber am Widerstand Großbritanniens und der evangelischen Stände. Wilhelm (IX.) regierte so als letzter Graf von Hanau in Hanau von 1760 bis 1785. Danach trat er die Nachfolge seines Vaters als Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel an und nannte sich von da an Wilhelm I. Herausragendes Ereignis während seiner Hanauer Zeit war die Beteiligung der Hessen-Hanauer Armee am Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg mit über 2400 Soldaten.

In der Folgezeit wurde die Grafschaft mehr und mehr Bestandteil der Landgrafschaft und des späteren Kurfürstentums Hessen, ein Prozess, der sich allerdings bis zu einer grundlegenden Verwaltungsreform bei Regierungsantritt von Kurfürst Wilhelm II. 1821 hinzog.

Harry Potts – February 1958 to February 1970
Tony Scholes May 4, 2020 Harry Potts – February 1958 to February 19702020-05-04T10:45:02+00:00 The Managers
Chairman Bob Lord, throughout his time at Burnley, had a policy of promoting from within when the time came to appoint a new manager. Only once did he not do that and even on that occasion it was to bring back a former player with whom he had previously had a good association. This was the occasion. Alan Brown, who had left during the previous summer, had captained the 1946/47 promotion team and, following the resignation of Billy Dougall on medical grounds, Lord brought back to Turf Moor another member of that successful team of the late 1940s and early 1950s in schemer Harry Potts.
Potts had moved on to Everton in a big £20,000 transfer in 1950, linking up again with his former Burnley manager Cliff Britton. It was a record fee for Everton but Potts didn't enjoy a particularly successful time at Goodison Park although he remained there until he retired as a player at the end of the 1955/56 season. There was to be no departure from football for Potts, the North Easterner joined Wolves as a coach that summer and a year later became manager of Shrewsbury. Just over thirty games into his managerial career he was on the move again, and back to the club where it had all started for him as a young player. He was back at Turf Moor and it is impossible to think that anyone could have known what was just around the corner for Harry Potts and Burnley Football Club.
The work of the previous managers meant he arrived to take over a team that had some very good players and with a youth policy that would go on to provide him with some amazing talent over the years he was in charge. By the end of that 1957/58 season we had reached sixth and the following season was another good one when we finished seventh. What followed was one of the most incredible of times to be involved with this great club of ours. In four successive seasons we took each of the top four positions, we played in an FA Cup Final, and became only the third club to represent England in the European Cup, joining Manchester United and Wolves.
It all started with the Championship in 1959/60 and Potts' only signing prior to that was Alex Elder, the young full back from Northern Ireland. The manager saw his team triumph on a wonderful night at Maine Road, the home of Manchester City, in May 1960. In doing so he joined John Haworth as the only two managers to take Burnley to the league title, and this in his first full season in charge. Today he would be lauded by fans, media and just about everyone in the game, but not then, managers were more in the background and, I'm sure, that's just how Harry Potts preferred it.
That was followed up with two more terrific seasons. In 1960/61, when Burnley played no less than 62 games, we were fourth in the league, we reached the semi-finals of both the FA Cup and the League Cup, the latter in its inaugural season, and the last eight of the European Cup. That season Spurs became the first team of the 20th century to win the Football League and FA Cup double, but a year later we came so close to emulating them. We were three games away from winning that elusive double. We ended with nothing in what was a cruel finish to the season, but Burnley were by no means finished.
The 1962/63 season saw the departures of Tommy Cummings, and more significantly Jimmy McIlroy, but we were still a top team and finished third and then, after two less successful seasons, we were fighting for the Championship again, finishing third in 1965/66. That team won as many points as the champions had done six years earlier. This was very much a Potts team mixed with four stalwarts of the championship team in Adam Blacklaw, John Angus, Alex Elder and Brian Miller. By now the manager was benefiting from introducing such talent as Brian O'Neil, Willie Morgan, Willie Irvine and Ralph Coates.
Potts, with that team, took Burnley back into Europe. We would have qualified a number of times previously but for the stipulation on it being only for cities and not towns. A rule change in 1966 allowed us to go into the Fairs Cup and we went on to reach the quarter finals. The European Cup exploits had ended with a defeat to West German side Hamburg and it was West German opposition again, this time Eintracht Frankfurt, who ended out interest.
Things were getting more difficult for Burnley by this time but, even so, we were able, at least, to maintain a position in the middle of the First Division throughout the decade. We were in mid-table when, in February 1970, we played Nottingham Forest at home. We turned in a superb performance to beat them 5-0 but Incredibly Harry lost his job after this game. He was moved upstairs to the position of General Manager where he remained for just over two years before parting company with the club on what was a sad day for Burnley Football Club in the summer of 1972.
It had been a remarkable twelve years, and never to be forgotten, but Harry's days at Burnley weren't over and he would return later in the decade to lead the club again in more difficult circumstances.

Darrell Sheets Net Worth
in Richest Celebrities
Darrell Sheets Net Worth:
What is Darrell Sheets' Net Worth?
Darrell Sheets is an American storage hunter and reality television star who has a net worth of $4 million. Born May 13, 1958, in California, Sheets is best known for being one of the original cast members of the smash hit A&E reality series "Storage Wars" (2010—2017). Because of his strong personality and cutthroat attitude when it comes to bidding on storage lockers, Darrell was one of the most popular characters on the show.
Known as "The Gambler," his biggest payday since appearing on the show occurred in 2012 when he spent $3,600 on a locker that ended up containing a $300,000 Frank Guttierez art collection. It is the largest find in the show's history as well. Besides starring on "Storage Wars," Sheets has also appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (2011) and "Rachael Ray" (2013).
Prior to joining "Storage Wars," Sheets had a 30+ year career finding treasure in in storage lockers. He has stated in an interview that some of his biggest finds were four Pablo Picasso drawings, a letter written by Abraham Lincoln (which sold for more than $15,000), and a huge collection of rare comic books that were valued at $90,000.
"Storage Wars" debuted in December 2010 and was instantly one of the most popular programs on cable television. Each episode of the first season drew an average of 2.5 million viewers, and every episode of the second season drew an average of 5 million viewers.
Darrell is known for his catchphrase "This is the WOW factor!," and he appeared in 168 episodes of the series. Sheets revealed that in 1988, he found a human corpse wrapped in plastic in a San Diego storage locker. The police later determined that the locker's former owner had killed his wife and hidden her body in the storage unit. Darrell left "Storage Wars" in 2017, and in 2019, he retired from the storage locker business and moved to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
In 2012, Darrell proposed to girlfriend Kimber Wuerfel and moved to Huntington Beach from San Diego to be near her. They later split up, and in 2016, Sheets became engaged to Romney Snyder, who was the founder and CEO of HiCaliber Horse Rescue until the organization was shut down due to accusations of fraud and animal cruelty.
Sheets and Snyder never made it to the altar, and after Darrell retired, he began a relationship with Patty Rich, who owns several vineyards and restaurants. Sheets and Rich met after he showed interest in a boat she was selling. Darrell has a son Brandon, (born December 26, 1983), who co-starred with his father on "Storage Wars."
Darrell lost 100 pounds with the help of Nutrisystem in 2016, and in March 2019, after three months of feeling unwell, he had a mild heart attack while attending a Justin Timberlake concert. He revealed that he had been diagnosed with "congestive heart failure and a severe issue going on with [his] lung" and he later underwent surgery.

"Little Women was directed by Kimberly Beasley who is an assistant professor of voice at Jacksonville University. In reading the biographies in the program, we noted that a number of her students were in this production. Professor Beasley's definitive direction made this show a truly marvelous evening of theatre, a real treat for the eyes and ears. The voices were indeed superb. EU Jacksonville
A word of advice to the general public. The next time you hear about a play or a musical at Jacksonville University, by all means make plans to attend. Our experience has been the university has exceptional talent both in musical theatre and drama. In addition, they always have reasonable and affordable ticket prices, and an exceptionally comfortable theatre. EU Jacksonville
I have now attended several shows at both the Terry Concert Hall and its next door neighbor, The Swisher Theatre, and find both facilities excellent and truly an asset to the cultural growth of this city. If you have not taken the opportunity to see a performance in either of them, check out Jacksonville University on their website for announcement of future events. You will be glad you did. Thanks for a delightful afternoon of fine music. "
"Last Five Years is sincerely performed by Andrew Weir and Diane Mair. And it features a highly proficient musical ensemble, led by conductor Kim Beasley. - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune"

Whenever more than one celebrity wears the same thing, we always take note–which is exactly what happened with The Home T. Our Insta-stalking led us to photos of Jamie Chung, Hilary Duff and Kristin Cavallari in the insanely soft tees.
From there, we learned just how rad these shirts actually are. Not only do tons of celebs wear them, but a portion of the profits is donated to multiple sclerosis research. The disease impacts founder Ryan Shell's family, so he decided to take action by creating a stylish, made in America t-shirt line. Showing your home state some pride while giving back at the same time? It doesn't get much better than that.

The England Hockey women's squad for the Samsung FIH Champions Trophy, Women, Nottingham 2010 has been named.
The 18 athletes will represent England on home turf against world hockey giants Netherlands, Argentina, China, Germany and New Zealand at Highfields Sports Club in Nottingham between Saturday 10 and Sunday 18 July.
Included in the lineup is 19 year old Georgie Twigg, who made her senior international debut for Great Britain against Germany just last month and who has yet to represent England at senior level.
There is still plenty of experience in the squad with the inclusion of Reading trio Kate Walsh, Helen Richardson and Alex Danson and Leicester pair Crista Cullen and Chloe Rogers, who between them have nearly 500 caps for England and a further 278 for Great Britain.
After naming his squad, Head Coach Danny Kerry said, 'This has been a tight selection showing a growing depth in the squad. In Georgie Twigg, there is some new blood and she has come through our National Age Group Squads, reflecting the excellent work carried out by the staff of those programmes. I am sure Georgie will relish and enjoy the experience.
Team England: Ashleigh Ball, Charlotte Craddock, Crista Cullen, Alex Danson, Susie Gilbert, Gemma Ible, Katie Long, Hannah Macleod, Helen Richardson, Chloe Rogers, Natalie Seymour, Beth Storry, Georgie Twigg, Laura Unsworth, Kate Walsh, Sally Walton, Nicola White, Kerry Williams.
England head coach Danny Kerry has named his 18-woman squad set to play in the Champions Trophy in Nottingham next month.
Georgie Twigg, who made her senior international debut for Great Britain against Germany last month, is included and the 19-year-old is set to make her full senior debut for England when the Champions Trophy gets underway on July 10.
England and Great Britain regulars Kate Walsh, Helen Richardson, Alex Danson, Crista Cullen and Chloe Rogers are also included in Kerry's squad who will play host to Holland, Argentina, China, Germany and New Zealand at Highfields Sports Club.
Asked how the squad are looking with just under a fortnight to go before their first match against world No 1 side Argentina, Kerry said: "The group is fit, well prepared and very much ready to go.
"We are a significantly better team than 12 months ago and we are all interested to see how far the other teams have developed since the last Champions Trophy.
"We look forward to home support and I know the players will demonstrate the passion and desire for success."
CLIFTON'S Georgie Twigg, who made her debut for Great Britain against Germany last month, has been chosen to play for England for the first time in the Champions Trophy at Highfields, Nottingham, from July 10-18.
Twigg, 19, knows London 2012 beckons if she can prove her worth in a squad to take on five top sides, including Olympic champions Holland.
"London 2012 is my aim but competing in Nottingham will be fantastic," she said.
Second half goals from Akim Toussaint, Atiba Whittington and Wayne Legerton added to Dillet Gilkes' first half strike, helped the T&T Senior Men's hockey team to its second win in three matches, on their 14-day tour of Belgium. The T&T team defeated that country's national Under-21 team 4-2 on Saturday. T&T is using this tour as part of its preparation for the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games, which will be held from July 22 – 31 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
After getting early game jitters out of the way, T&T settled down and took control of the game. T&T's scored their first short corner opportunity from the stick of Gilkes. However, Belgium equalized a minute from half time from a penalty corner by Tom Boon. Boon came out after the break and gave his team the lead as he converted another penalty corner 2-1. The Soca stickmen came back immediately equalizing via a Toussaint finish from an Atiba Whittington assist. T&T soon regained the lead as Whittington was able to get his name on the score-sheet with a back hand strike off of a Gilkes pass from a quickly taken free hit. Legerton added the icing to the cake, converting a penalty stroke to make it 4-2. The Soca stickmen were expected to play the Belgian U-21 again yesterday.
On Thursday T&T rebounded from its 6-4 defeat at the hands of Dutch club, TMHC Forward, easing to a 5-2 win over a Dragons Under-19 club team. Dominic Jaikaransingh led with a double, while Toussaint, Chad Pedro and Marcus James accounted for the other three goals. The team is expected to return home on July 9 before heading off to Puerto Rico ten days later to compete in the CAC Games. Meanwhile, the T&T women's hockey team on its tour of Chile, went down to that country's national team 3-1in their first match on Friday. T&T will also be playing matches against Argentina which is part of the three team matches.
Rocke, De Gannes, Eccles, Brown, Cowie, Quan Chan, Pierre, Gilkes, Legerton, Whittington, Touissant.
Trinidad and Tobago's senior national men's hockey team drew 3-3 with Belgium's Under-21 players on Sunday in Belgium during practice matches for the upcoming Central American and Caribbean Games (CAC).
The 'Soca Stickmen' overturned a 3-1 half-time deficit against the Belgians, Mickel Pierre getting the home side a pair of second half goals to draw them level. Wayne Legerton got T&T's only first half goal, a flick from a penalty corner.
T&T's first meeting with the Belgians produced six goals, with the visitors winning 4-2. And in their earlier matches, T&T lost 6-4 to Dutch club TMHC Forward, and won 5-2 over Dragon's Under-19s, this time a Belgian club.
T&T's senior stickwomen are currently in Chile on their own practice tour, which includes matches against Argentine competitors, and were expected to be in action yesterday. On Friday they lost 3-1 to Chile, with Kristin Thompson scoring T&T's lone goal.
The CAC Games are scheduled for July 22-31 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
Ireland retained the Celtic Cup for the third year running with a comprehensive 7-0 victory over France in their final match in Le Touquet. Ireland were caught on the hop in the opening minute when France were awarded a penalty stroke for a foul on a attacker, however, the stroke was superbly saved by Iain Walker in Goals.
Ireland dominated play thereafter and in the 18th minute they took a 1-0 lead with a drag flick from Eugene Magee. In the 23rd minute they took a diagonal run from Geoff McCabe saw Mitch Darling deflect in at the far post from Geoff's reserved stick shot. Just five minutes later Ireland took a 3-0 lead with another drag flick this time from Alan Sothern dragging low into the net. Just one minute before half time Joe Brennan helped extend the lead making a long pass from defence to Mitch Darling who swivelled and hit off the back foot into the net for 4-0.
Ireland continued to dominate in the second half and made it five nil when Gelghorne went on a one v one on the attack passing to Giles for the Deflection. Mitch Darling got his hat-trick in the 62nd minute with another trademark shot off the back foot to make it 6-0.
Ireland rounded off the match with the seventh goal in the 67th minute when Eugene Magee made a solo run from defence and interchanged with Peter Caruth who deflected the pass into the roof of the net.
The victory today will no doubt be made sweeter for Captain Ronan Gormley who earned his 100th Cap. Commenting after the match Peter Jackson said "This was an outstanding tournament for the Irish lads who put in maximum effort throughout all games. It is particularly pleasing to see that we only conceded one goal in the three matches and scored 14 in total and we look forward to our encounters against the French next weekend in Cookstown".

Several Black Sticks Men will achieve milestone caps while away for the 4-Nations and Champions Trophy tournaments.
Wellington players Blair Tarrant and Stephen Jenness will make their international debut at the 4-Nations tournament in Nottingham.
Both played in the 2009 Junior World Cup.
Black Sticks Men's Coach, Shane McLeod says Jenness is an exciting goal scorer and will be keen to get on the scorecard at the 4-Nations tournament.
While Tarrant is a talented defender who has come out of Dunedin. McLeod is using the 4-Nations tournament as an opportunity to give more international field time to some of his younger players.
However, he has also selected Tarrant, currently in the Development Squad, to play with the full strength Black Sticks side in the Champions Trophy in Germany.
At the other end of the ledger, Nick Haig is expected to achieve his 50th cap at the Champions Trophy, while team mates Brad Shaw and Steve Edwards are expected to achieve their 100th cap.
McLeod says 23-year-old Haig has worked hard to earn his place in the team and is keen to be a more regular member of the side, since making his debut in 2007.
Since Steve Edwards made his debut in 2007 and has quickly become one of the key players, who McLeod describes as a talented mid-fielder with unique and exciting hockey skills. The 24-year-old North Harbour player has been selected for both the 4-Nations and Champions Trophy team.
While 27-year-old Brad Shaw is coming back into the side, after taking time out after the birth of his first child earlier this year. He made his debut in 2004 and is one of the best defenders in the team at present. McLeod says Shaw's presence in both the 4-Nations and Champions Trophy team will be a definite boost.

Q: Uniqueness of transactionIdentifier in canceled SKPaymentTransaction I'm in the midst of tying my current app's IAP code with our backend server. One thing I was thinking of doing was to also use it to record canceled and/or failed transactions.
This brought up the question as to whether or not the transactionIdentifier for these types of transactions are considered unique? More specifically in the cancel case, I'm not quite sure if it is generating a temp identifier and then replacing it with one given by the App Store. And if so, is the temp one still unique?
I do happen to notice in Xcode a data member in SKPaymentTransaction called _temporaryIdentifier, which got me thinking about this possible scenario.
Note that I don't have to surface cancelled transactions to our server. I Just thought it would be helpful to have. It seems that I probably do need to send failure since I believe a deferred transaction that is not allowed will result in a failure.

A: No, don't count on them being unique, they are considered undefined for any state other than purchased or restored.
It is explicitly mentioned in the documentation for transactionIdentifier:

A string that uniquely identifies a successful payment transaction
  [...]
  The contents of this property are undefined except when
  transactionState is set to purchased or restored.
