Wikipedia Founder: The Future of News
Published 08-JUN-2017 11:20 A.M.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales reveals the future of news, media and journalism at Sydney's World Business Forum, discusses plans for soon to be launched Wikitribune and shares where he looks for headlines, including BBC and The Guardian. Speaking with The Capital Network's Lelde Smits.
Lelde Smits: Hello I'm Lelde Smits for The Capital Network and joining me at The World Business Forum in Sydney is Jimmy Wales, the founder of online encyclopaedia, Wikipedia. Jimmy, welcome to Sydney.
Jimmy Wales: Thank you for having me.
Lelde Smits: You've just given a presentation on disruption. You've also recently announced plans to launch a news site. If we combine the both, what do you believe is the future of news?
Jimmy Wales: With Wikitribune we are trying to bring together paid professional journalists and community, working together in a new way. Because, I think the future of news is going to be a return to very high quality news. I think people are tired of clickbait headlines and the things that have been really polluting our newsfeeds for the last few years. So, I'm very hopeful that we will see something new.
Lelde Smits: Do you believe the old model of news therefore is dead?
Jimmy Wales: I think that some of the old model is what we need to bring back. A combination of revenue from leaders, some revenue from advertisers, we're [Wikitribune] not having advertising. But, I think we need good strong journalism and we need people to pay for it.
Lelde Smits: When you hear terms such as 'alternative facts' and 'fake news' are you concerned by these terms or do you view it more as an opportunity?
Jimmy Wales: It is an opportunity but it is not a happy opportunity. It is an opportunity in the same way that a tornado might be an opportunity for a builder. No, I am very concerned about it, concerned about people pushing the idea that we don't know what is true or we can't know what is true – because I think that is a path to tyranny and I think it is something that we need to resist.
Lelde Smits: When can we expect Wikitribune to launch and what makes you optimistic about its survival let alone success in this rapidly changing land of the internet?
Jimmy Wales: We'll be doing the soft launch in the next few weeks with people who have signed up as monthly supporters, we are going to invite them in to test it and to work with us.
We'll be launching fully later in the fall. One of the things that leaves me hope that we will be successful is that we've had such an enormous outpouring of support in our crowd funding campaign. And, we see other outlets like the New York Times digital subscriptions has gone from 1 million to 1.8 million. That is exciting news. So, I think the public is ready for it.
Lelde Smits: Final question, this is a question that I always like to ask people who love the news as much as I do. What news are you currently reading and where do you go for your headlines?
Jimmy Wales: I read The Guardian newspaper in the UK and the BBC. I live in London. And, I'm a big fan of the media landscape there.
Lelde Smits: Thank you so much for your insights and enjoy the rest of your time in Sydney.
Jimmy Wales: Thank you.

Remembering Pat McGovern, the technology media tycoon you never knew
By Melissa Riofrio
Executive Editor, PCWorld |
He was the media tycoon who flew beneath your radar. And yet Pat McGovern, who died last night at the age of 76, is the reason PCWorld—along with hundreds of other technology-oriented websites, publications and events—is here today.
We're here because Pat believed in the power of technology and the need to educate people about what it meant, and how to use it. In the last 24 hours at PCWorld, we've posted breaking stories on new Intel chips and DirectX 12 graphics from Microsoft. We've reviewed Toshiba's Kirabook and six mechanical gaming keyboards. We've posted a feature on Excel tips and tricks. If you've read and liked any of those stories, then we've fulfilled what Pat wanted from the start.
It was always all about the technology for Pat, who started following the industry in 1964 when he founded International Data Corporation, a research firm that remains a leader in its field and is now a subsidiary of our parent company, International Data Group. Pat had already founded trade IT publications, including IDG's flagship Computerworld, when in 1982 he invested in the fledgling personal computer magazine PC World. Founded by David Bunnell and Cheryl Woodard, it quickly became a leader in covering PCs and everything connected to them. Now called PCWorld (we dropped the space), we celebrated our 30th anniversary in 2013.
From the beginning, Pat McGovern championed an independent editorial voice. Robert Luhn, who joined PC World's staff shortly after its launch, recalls, "We were given the freedom to report and write and say what was what. I think that's why people ultimately ended up trusting PC World more than its competitors."

Through IDG, Pat McGovern funded the fledgling PC World, founded by David Bunnell and Cheryl Woodard, with Andrew Fluegelman as the first Editor in Chief.
"I always felt that he had my back in terms of editorial matters," says former Editor-in-Chief Harry McCracken, who abruptly left PC World in 2007 over an editorial dispute with our then-publisher. "When I chose to quit PC World, he called me directly and said I could publish any story I wanted to." (IDG resolved the dispute, and Harry returned to PC World for another year.)
Steve Fox, who was PCWorld's Editorial Director until 2012, says, "In the same way everyone talks about Steve Jobs being Apple, for those of us who were at IDG, we understood that in just the same way, Pat McGovern was IDG."
Pat McGovern built a culture at IDG that had two centers: technology and people. He believed that high-quality publications started with hiring and training the best people and keeping them as happy as possible. This was a tall order in the hard-charging, high-pressure world of journalism, but Pat persisted. Whether it was the signed memos he sent to individuals whose work he had noticed, or his yearly tradition of handing out the holiday bonuses in person, we couldn't fault his friendly touch.
"In my short time at IDG, I only got a single chance to meet Pat," says PCWorld Editor-in-Chief Jon Phillips, "but his legend preceded him. I've heard 'Pat stories' at company meetings, and in training sessions, and even from employees who've left the IDG fold. He was basically a founding father of tech media, and the magazines he established in the '80s created a blueprint for so much of the tech journalism we still read today. The fact that IDG is a three-pronged effort of tech media, tech research, and tech-focused venture capital says so much about his ambition level. And his fascination with brain research, via all his work with MIT, tells us that this guy's sense of wonder and intellect ran really, really deep."
So when we say goodbye to Pat today, we're not saying goodbye to your standard-issue CEO, who has to be smart, and good at building businesses and making hard decisions, all while maintaining a company's public face. Pat could do all of that. But he also brought a specific passion for technology to his job, which drove his ambitions for all of IDG's businesses. And he had a very warm and humane approach, which made him "Uncle Pat" to many of us, even on our hardest and longest days.
We still can't believe he's gone. He had always seemed to have boundless energy and enthusiasm, despite a work and travel schedule that would have exhausted any normal person. "He had the vigor that comes from loving what you do and loving your life," Steve Fox told me, and may we all be so lucky. Thanks for everything, Pat.
Melissa Riofrio spent her formative journalistic years reviewing some of the biggest iron at PCWorld--desktops, laptops, storage, printers. As PCWorld's Executive Editor she leads PCWorld's content direction and covers productivity laptops and Chromebooks.

NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS & FOOD GUIDE INDEX For Informational Use Only.
What is the nutrient composition of an individual food? Find out here.
Fish is a good, healthy substitution for red meat in your diet. Here are some ideas on how to select, store, and cook the most popular varieties.
Many of us grew up with a notion of fish based on school-cafeteria fish sticks and frozen breaded fish fillets. But today the variety of fish at the market is so broad, there is a fish to suit anyone's palate. Fresh fish varies enormously, from assertive salmon to subtle tilapia; from buttery, delicate halibut to meaty tuna and swordfish. Arctic char, mahimahi, amberjack, and pompano are a few of the lesser-known varieties, but they are now more widely available and ready to add to your repertoire. Here is how to select the freshest fish possible, store it, and cook it.
Of the many varieties available, we chose 12 fish based on their flavor, availability, ease of cooking, and popularity. Seasons affect availability, but you should be able to get most of these fish at some point during the year. Technology and transportation now allow people in the middle of the country to buy fresh ocean fish, people on the Atlantic to buy Pacific fish, and vice versa.
Amberjack: Full flavor and firm flesh make amberjack, which stands up to more assertive flavors, ideal to grill, pan-fry, or broil. Amberjack is available in fillets or steaks year-round, especially in the South, since it comes primarily from the Gulf of Mexico. One 4.5-ounce serving of amberjack has 135 calories and 2.3 grams of fat.
Arctic Char (farmed freshwater): Arctic char, most often sold in fillets, has a distinctive pink flesh, with a rich flavor similar to salmon and steelhead trout. You can substitute arctic char for salmon in almost any recipe, and vice versa. Like salmon, this fish lends itself to most any cooking method. A 4.5-ounce serving of arctic char has 234 calories and 10.1 grams of fat.
Catfish (farmed freshwater): Farmed catfish is available fresh year-round and accounts for close to 99 percent of the catfish sold in the United States. Catfish's sweet flavor and firm texture make it ideal for grilling, roasting, pan-frying, and braising. It can also substitute for other firm-flesh fish, such as pompano. A 4.5-ounce serving of catfish has 194 calories and 10.2 grams of fat.
Cod: The darling of New England (the Massachusetts State House features a 218-year-old, life-sized wooden carving of a cod), cod is a flaky white fish with mild, sweet flavor -- so mild, in fact, those who are wary of seafood tend to gravitate to it. Cod is often used to make fish cakes and fish sticks (along with pollock) and frequently appears in chowders and stews. Now rebounding from shortages in the Atlantic, cod is plentiful year-round. A 4.5-ounce serving has 134 calories and 1.1 grams of fat.
Halibut: Popular because of its mild flavor, this flaky white fish should be prepared with subtle flavors that will not overwhelm its delicacy. The Atlantic halibut fishery is virtually extinct, but Pacific halibut is plentiful and is available fresh from March to November. It is sold frozen the rest of the year. A 4.5-ounce serving of halibut has 179 calories and 3.8 grams of fat.
Mahimahi: Originally called dolphinfish, the Hawaiian name mahimahi was adopted to alleviate confusion that this fish is related to the aquatic mammal. Popular because of its versatility, mahimahi pairs well with fruits and spicy sauces. It grills, broils, pan-fries, and braises beautifully. A 4.5-ounce serving of mahimahi has 139 calories and 1.2 grams of fat.
Pompano: Pompano has a delicate, sweet flavor. While there is no season for pompano, catch limits affect its availability; catfish makes a suitable substitute when pompano is scarce. Grill, broil, or pan-fry pompano. A 4.5-ounce serving has 269 calories and 15.5 grams of fat.
Red Snapper: The most prized member of the large snapper family is American red snapper, which has a pronounced sweet flavor, similar to shrimp. Many varieties of snapper are available year-round, and though they may not be quite as sweet as American red snapper, they are excellent substitutions. A 4.5-ounce serving has 163 calories and 2.2 grams of fat.
Salmon: Most of what we get at the market is farmed Atlantic salmon. While wild Atlantic salmon is virtually extinct, wild Pacific salmon is still available. As salmon farming has become an increasingly bigger business, the fish has become more affordable. The high fat content of salmon keeps it moist when cooked by almost any method -- you can pan-fry, grill, roast, steam, poach, or smoke it. A 4.5-ounce serving of farmed coho salmon has 224 calories and 10.5 grams of fat.
Sole / Flounder: Although sole are actually members of the flounder family, the words sole and flounder are often used interchangeably. (You are likely to see flounder at the fish market, and sole on restaurant menus.) Saut� this flaky white fish with lemon and a little butter to enhance its delicate flavor. It is harvested year-round, but turbot, plaice, or fluke (sometimes called summer flounder) substitute well. A 4.5-ounce serving of sole/flounder has 149 calories and 2 grams of fat.
Swordfish: Popular for its mild flavor and meaty texture, swordfish became endangered in the early 1990s, and in 1997 conservation groups called on chefs and consumers to boycott it. The swordfish population is slowly recovering with careful management of its fishery. Fresh swordfish appears in markets year-round, usually as steak, and is best pan-fried or grilled. A 4.5-ounce serving has 198 calories and 6.6 grams of fat.
Tilapia (Farmed Freshwater): Tilapia has a firm texture and mild flavor (some argue that it has almost none) that make it a great canvas on which to paint layers of flavor. Like cod, this is a great fish for people who say they do not like fish. Readily available year-round, tilapia can be pan-fried, broiled, baked, or braised in a flavorful broth or sauce. A 4.5-ounce serving has 106 calories and about 1 gram of fat.
Trout (Farmed Freshwater): Trout's flavor ranges from subtle and mild to sweet. Most of the trout sold at markets is rainbow trout, although you will also see such other varieties as brook trout. At its best, trout is subtle; prepare it simply to avoid masking its flavor. A 4.5-ounce serving has 243 calories and 10.8 grams of fat.
Tuna: The many species of tuna vary in flavor and texture. Costly sashimi-grade tuna -- so named because this is the best quality for sushi and sashimi -- has a clean, subtle flavor, a delicate texture, and is higher in fat. The tuna most widely available in grocery stores tends to be meatier, with a more assertive flavor. The fish is ideal for grilling or searing, which caramelizes the outside and leaves the interior moist. Many chefs think tuna is best seared on the outside and left almost raw inside. It is less forgiving than other fish, and when overcooked can be dry and tough. Tuna is sold fresh and frozen year-round. A 4.5-ounce serving of yellowfin tuna has 178 calories and 1.6 grams of fat.
Fresh Fillets or Steaks: This is the easiest and best way to buy fish. Do not be afraid to ask at the fish market or the fish counter in the supermarket when the fish came in, and do not buy anything more than one day old -- especially if you do not plan to cook it that night. Look for fish that is blemish-free and neither slick nor soggy. Fresh fish will be firm and spring back when touched. The fish should smell subtly of the water from which it came. If it has a "fishy" smell, it is not fresh. Avoid fish displayed directly on ice, since the contact can cause quality to deteriorate; ask if there is more in the back. Buying fish that has been frozen at sea is your next best alternative.
Frozen Fish: When possible, purchase vacuum-packed frozen fish, and look for "once frozen" on the label. Avoid any fish that has symptoms of freezer burn, such as brown or dry edges. Defrost frozen fish in the refrigerator overnight.
Whole Fresh Fish: This is the most economical way to purchase fish. When you buy a whole fish, look for clear, glossy eyes; shiny, red gills; and a firm body, free of any dark blemishes. The tail should not be dried out or curled. Ask the fishmonger to fillet the fish and portion it for you. (Most Cooking Light recipes call for 6-ounce raw fillets or steaks, which yield 4.5-ounce portions.) Cook what you need and freeze the rest. Ask for the bones so you can make fish stock for soups and stews -- the bones will freeze, and the stock will, too.
Storing Fish: Buy fish on your way out of the store, take it directly home, and cook (or freeze) it within 24 hours. Keep the fish as cold as possible until you are ready to cook it by storing it in the coldest part of your refrigerator.

Home » Christian mission to proclaim Gospel of love
Christian mission to proclaim Gospel of love
By David Harris on October 1, 1998
ONE OF THE resolutions of the Lambeth Conference in 1988 was to declare a Decade of Evangelism. Ten years later, critics claim that evangelicals have surged ahead, particularly in Africa and Asia, while more liberal mainline churches in North America are declining.
Part of this phenomenon is attributed to the more traditional sense of mission among conservative Christians, including Anglicans.
Much more research is needed to verify exactly what is happening in Africa and Asia (for example, the population in general is exploding in parts of Africa) and few answers have been offered to the question that if a return to former ways is such a good idea, how is it we got to the (bad) position we're in now if the old ways were so good?
One can't just leap back 40 years or 400 years. As the current phrase goes: been there, done that.
None of this is to say that more traditional concepts of mission don't have their place. And certainly there is a Gospel imperative to "baptize the nations." But there is also a Gospel imperative for a different kind of mission. Much of Jesus' recorded life was spent simply taking care of people in emotional, spiritual and physical need. One interpretation of this aspect of the Gospel is the social justice response of the church beginning in the 1960s. Some of that response has been tried and found wanting. Other aspects have survived in a less ideological and more practical way.
One such program is the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund. Begun in the late '50s, initially in response to the Springhill mine disaster, the Primate's Fund continues to try to help people in need help themselves, teaching them useful skills and providing opportunities for them to live better lives. It is a way for those of us who have much, to share with those who have little or nothing. One of the important jobs in the fund is to travel to poor and remote places to see who needs what sort of help. It requires skill in analysis, diplomacy in foreign cultures and languages and stamina to reach some parts of the Earth where arriving is difficult and dangerous and no hot shower or soft bed awaits weary limbs.
John Vandenberg was one of the people who did this kind of work on behalf of Canadian Anglicans. He travelled widely in the Asia-Pacific region bringing help to many. Tragically, he died not in dangerous mountains in Nepal but bicycling near Lake Ontario in Toronto. Mr. Vandenberg's untimely death brought immediate sad reaction from around the world, especially from the Philippines and the Indian sub-continent where he had worked the past several years bringing relief aid from Canada to some of the world's poorest people.
His work, however, was surely mission, imitating Jesus in bringing God's love to people, making grace abound. The importance of such work is revealed in one of the visions of heaven Jesus portrays, where it is grounds for separating the sheep from the goats.
Another kind of mission witnessed by millions took place closer to home.
When Swissair 111 crashed last month at the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay, N.S., fishermen, including some Anglicans, immediately got into their boats and headed out into foggy darkness to look for survivors. For those unfamiliar with the area, the seas off Peggy's Cove are unprotected and being on the 20- to 40-foot Cape Island fishing boats with all their gear is no Mediterranean cruise. Clergy too played an important role, perhaps none more than Rev. Rick Walsh, rector of the parish of Indian Harbour, which includes St. John's Peggy's Cove. The Anglican church is the only one in the famous community of about 60 people. Along with several other Anglicans and clergy from other denominations and other faiths, Fr. Walsh helped to bring a sense of God's comfort to the suddenly bereaved families.
Such an example of extending God's love is surely mission in the highest sense.

Game Recap: Pirates vs. Indians, 8/20/20

On Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates (4-16) and Cleveland Indians (15-9) met for the final game of their three game series at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The Pirates entered the night 2-8 over their last 10 games, while the Indians came in 7-3 over their last 10. It would be a tall order for the Pirates' Trevor Williams (1-3) and Pittsburgh's offensive lineup to match Cleveland's Shane Bieber (4-0).
Apart from an error during Kevin Newman's at bat, both the Pirates and Indians navigated the first inning smoothly. Cleveland would open up the scoring in the top half of the second inning. An infield single off the bat of Franmil Reyes followed up by a Tyler Naquin base hit into left field set the table for the Indians to try to push a run across. Domingo Santana lined out for the second out, but Williams wasn't able to skirt danger, as Beau Taylor singled to center to make the game 1-0.
In the top of the fourth inning, it looked as though the Indians were set to strike again. With the bases loaded and only one out, Cesar Hernandez took his turn at the plate but was called out on strikes before Jose Ramirez flied out to left.
Williams would only last four innings before making the way for relief pitcher Sam Howard, who ultimately pitched a scoreless fifth. It took Williams 90 pitches to get through four innings of work. He finished with six hits allowed, one run, five strikeouts, and a pair of walks.
On the other hand, Bieber continued to be the pitcher we've come to see over the course of 2020. He managed six scoreless innings, allowing six hits, picking up 11 strikeouts and managing to not walk a single Pirate batter en route to earning his fifth win of the season.
But it wasn't without a little bit of drama. To begin the bottom of the sixth inning, Newman singled for the Bucs followed up by a Josh Bell single. Bieber subsequently struck out the next two batters before getting JT Riddle to fly out to shallow right field, keeping the Pirates just at arm's length, 1-0.
Brandon Waddell made his second appearance in the major leagues and tossed two scoreless frames, walking a pair but not allowing a hit.
When old friend Oliver Perez made his appearance in the bottom of the seventh inning, he quickly picked up the first two outs. But then Jacob Stallings hit an 0-2 pitch deep down the left field line — a ball that was hooking — and was deemed foul.
Stallings was convinced the ball went fair and the Pirates opted to challenge the play. The ball passed just left of the foul pole and then hit a wire on its way down, which was what had convinced Stallings the ball was fair. He then popped a blooper into shallow right, which signaled the end of the Perez's night, making way for Nick Wittgren. Gonzalez ended the inning on a 4-3 putout.
Once Chris Stratton entered the game in the eighth, things looked as though they might fall apart a bit for the Pirates. A carousel of baserunners became the theme of the inning. A walk, a single, and a walk before a fielder's choice error by Josh Bell led to a 2-0 score.
With the infield in and Bradley Zimmer at the plate, Erik Gonzalez fielded a ball behind the mound and fired to Stallings for the force out. A strikeout of Hernandez put Stratton in a position to mitigate damage in the inning with Jose Ramirez due up as the bases remained loaded. With a grounder picked up and fired to first, the Pirates headed to the bottom of the eighth trailing 2-0.
The Indians' James Karinchak — a brilliant hockey sounding surname — pitched a scoreless bottom of the inning, paving the way for Nik Turley to pitch a ninth inning in which the Pirates needed to keep the game close if they were to have any chance in the bottom half of the inning. Turley did just that, getting the Indians to go 1-2-3.
Brad Hand was the choice out of the bullpen to close the game. The lefty entered the game having made eight appearances and wrestling with a 5.40 ERA. Bryan Reynolds was caught looking, Cole Tucker flied out to right, and John Ryan Murphy was called out on strikes, securing a 2-0 Cleveland victory.
The Pirates dropped to 4-17 on the season, while the Indians improved to 16-9 by way of the series sweep. Pittsburgh hosts the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend. Game one is Friday night with a 7:05 scheduled first pitch.

Virtual Machines (VMs) : the Russian nested doll concept
February 04, 2010 Blogger Anonymous , Cloud
Some of you may already be familiar with the Perl Purity Test: Are you a Perl geek, and if so, how much of a geek are you? The part of this test that struck me the most was the Perl's 'eval' function. It makes it possible to evaluate on the fly the part of Perl code that is not analysed when the code is compiled. This test asks the question: have you ever written self-modifying evals? Not often, but yes! And then: have you ever nested an eval inside another eval? I have to admit that yes, on rare occasions, I have. And finally: Have you ever used more than five nested evals? There I had to admit, oh, no, I've never even thought of that! So why implement recursive evals? I still don't know why. But when I think of other situations, sometimes I wonder if there might be an advantage to putting an object within the same object, and so on -- a bit like Russian nested dolls. This concept struck me as viable, and even advantageous, when applied to virtual machines (VMs).
With single server (ESX-type hypervisor, Hyper-V, Xen-Server, etc.) and application virtualisation (ThinApp, App-V, Jail, etc.), we are actually already putting VMs in physical machines, or application bubbles within system bubbles. Today, we're still at a stage with just one level of nesting (official version and software supported). This means that we're putting VMs in hypervisors, but not VMs in VMs, or VMs in VMs in VMs!
Nevertheless, we are starting to see two-level structures appearing here and there, as is the case for running VMs within an ESX itself in a VM Workstation. Why only two levels? For several reasons, but above all because many processor access management features (Intel VT or AMD-V) are no longer available after the first hypervisor layer. In fact, today it's always a single handler that works best in terms of processor resources and memory. One just works better than two. "Distributed" mechanisms are still very complex and therefore very expensive. Paravirtualised hypervisors can easily make it possible to imagine structures with more than two nesting levels since there is nothing between the OS and the processor. The drivers are another significant obstacle to the virtualisation of virtual machines. However, new kinds of drivers are being developed that don't function directly with the hardware anymore (supervisor mode), but interact with the kernel via standardised APIs (user mode), a bit like hardware does with a USB bus.
In fact, we can see this very clearly in the evolution of virtualisation architecture. First with VMs on a physical server, and then with VMs on physical servers that are confined in a capacity "envelope" (Resource Pool for VMware) and that can be moved from one physical machine to another (vMotion, Live Migration). It's also the case for products such as LabManager, where groups of VMs can be transferred from one physical server to another with their stored data, network, ACLs, and firewall rules within the same Datacenter. More recently, these groups of virtual resources can be moved to other geographic locations or to other providers in the world using Cloud Computing.
We know how managing physical universes is much more restrictive than managing virtual universes. It's already been 4 years since the Virtual Appliance concept first appeared. Today, it is directly integrated into the most recent version of vCenter and greatly facilitates making the 'ready to use' environment available. With LabManager, it's possible to go even further and export entire groups of VMs all at once. If virtual elements can be deployed so quickly, and if we can even make them 'ready to use', the next step is to create entire 'ready to use' information systems with pre-configured networks, dimensioned data storage and service quality, and deployed professional applications (directory, file servers, web servers, e-mail, firewall, monitoring, inventory, incident management, customer relations, accounting, and of course the user workstations). It could be a complete range of pre-configured, ready-to-use 'all-in-one' systems, or 'off-the-shelf' information systems.
Of course, it's possible to imagine putting all of that directly on a company's physical machines. But we're now in the era of centralisation and super-Datacenters. There is clearly an advantage to consolidating all of these 'ready to use' multi-VMs in other container VMs when you see how powerful linked clones and data deduplication are. These completely structured and autonomous information systems (CPU, RAM, disk, network, drivers, security) would be available in just a few minutes.
The ability to put VMs in VMs (with a hypervisor layer between each one) offers the most advanced possibility for creating all possible architecture and meta-organisation universes. Each VM resource can now be modified on the fly, which means that each universe would be adjustable as desired while also maintaining the advantages of resource sharing and their compartmentalisation in relation to physical resources and other virtual universes. In addition, the OVF standard is rich enough to make this structure completely compatible with all resource suppliers. So there's no holding back VMs in terms of hardware and software management from going beyond being just an OS to becoming universal containers.

Ray Cooper 24th May 2014
Saturday 24th May at St Peter's Church, Marlborough at 8.00 pm
mfradmin	●	January 18, 2014	● Previous Concerts	●	No Comments
Last year Oysterband Cellist and bass player Ray Cooper left the band and started his solo career with a fine album and a series of intimate and outstanding shows. We are delighted that Ray has decided to preview his new album 'Palace of Tears' with a concert in the historic St Peter's Church. It is going to be a very special night with visitors from far and wide. This will be a chance to buy a special signed pre-release copy which will only be available at this show in the UK.
In 2010, Ray Cooper released his debut album 'Tales of Love War and Death by Hanging' to critical acclaim:
"This is a big proud record that bares it's chest and grips you all the way through … masterful musicianship and songwriting"Spiral Earth
"This is a terrific album and one that you will carry with you down the days" RootsWorld
"Like Ennio Morricone galloping through the brooding grandeur of the Nordic forests with a trusty cello as sword and emblem. Compelling stuff" fROOTS magazine.
In May 2014, Ray will release his new album 'Palace of Tears'. This sees a departure from the historical subjects of the first album. "This album is more about my personal history and about Europe, it's culture and more recent history. I have lived in Sweden for 13 years now and feel quite at home. I define myself as a northern European, that is my cultural identity, rather than being English or Scottish or Swedish."
Known as 'Chopper' of Oysterband fame for many years, Ray took the step to leave the band in February 2013 at the peak of their success following 'Ragged Kingdom', the award winning album with June Tabor, . Why leave? "I want to sing"he said simply, "to play my own songs and see where it leads. It has already been an adventure, and I know there are more to come".
Since February, Ray has been enjoying a busy touring life, with concert tours in 2013 of England, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Germany (again), Belgium and Holland. Previously, Ray has made solo festival appearances at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Sidmouth and The Big Session.
Ray is at home on stages of any size. He sings and plays cello, guitar and harmonica. He recently started also playing piano at shows. While on tour, Ray also fits in House Concerts and has particularly enjoyed playing unplugged in castles.

Tour of Perugia
Code: GBDVSA
8/9 hours
Day Trip, Umbria, Work Art
Perugia City of Umbria, provincial and regional capital. Founded by the Umbrian or by Auleste, it was one of the main Etruscan cities (5th-4th century BC). Faithful to Rome in the Hannibal war, it was a town hall after the social war. In 41-40 BC Octavian besieged Lucio Antonio; became emperor, he rebuilt it. Probably Treboniano Gallo (251-253) erected it as a colony. In the High Middle Ages Perugia was long under the rule of the Byzantines, interrupted (547-548) by the occupation of the goths of Totila and the Longobard, under which it was the center of a duchy until the 6th century. In the 8th century Perugia remained under the Byzantine influence, then passing into the papal orbit. In the investiture struggle, he was equidistant between pope and emperor. He obtained (1186) from Henry VI emperor the confirmation of the municipality and of the possession of the surrounding territory; then, the acquisition of Assisi (1194) and other lands also found sanction in papal recognition (1198). From Innocent III onwards, relations between Perugia and Rome became more firm. The internal struggles between Guelphs (Raspanti) and Ghibellines (Beccherini) lasted until 1393, when it passed, with Biordo Michelotti, to the aristocratic regime. Perugia was then of Gian Galeazzo Visconti (1400), lordship of Ladislao of Durazzo (1408-14), dominion of Braccio Fortebracci (1416-24). Then it belonged to the Baglioni, who were in a fierce struggle with the Oddi (1488, 1491, 1495) and took back power, after the adventure of the duke Valentino (1503), with Gian Paolo. The lordship of the Baglioni family ended in 1540, when Paul III began the construction of the Pauline fortress, to safeguard the rights of the Church. The city, which in 1859 rebelled against the papal dominion, welcomed the Piedmontese troops in 1860.

Perugia, in addition to a large artistic heritage offers events and events of international renown, including Eurochocolate in the fall and Umbria Jazz. The latter is held every year in mid-July. From small clubs, theaters, streets and squares, the whole historic center lives in the days of Umbria Jazz in a magical and electrifying atmosphere where music blends with the history and architecture of the city. But Perugia as well as being a magnificent medieval village has always been an innovative city. Suffice it to say that it was the first Italian city to build escalators in several points of the city, to reach the center on foot.
What is the trip about
Perugia is a small jewel that opens up slowly before the eyes of visitors. The Umbrian town preserves artistic and monumental treasures that testify its rich past and render justice to the cultural primacy of our country. Although it preserves the appearance and the rhythm of life of a small fortified medieval village, Perugia has a very intense city life, linked above all to the presence of one of the oldest University of the Peninsula (founded in 1308), as well as the greater University for foreigners of Italy.
In the center of Piazza IV Novembre stands this splendid fountain, one of the most famous in Italy and symbol of medieval Perugia. The Fontana Maggiore was built between 1275 and 1278, designed by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, to receive the water coming from the Monte Pacciano Aqueduct. The two artists wanted the fountain on a circular staircase, consisting of two pink and white stone basins, surmounted by a bronze basin. From here sprout three nymphs that support an amphora from which water flows. The upper basin rests on small columns from which stand statues depicting characters related to the mythical foundation of the city; the lower basin, instead, is decorated with fifty panels that depict the calendar of agricultural works, some biblical, historical and mythological episodes, the two symbols of the city (the griffin), the Guelph party (the lion) and the empire (l 'eagle). The review of the seven liberal arts and philosophy is closed. Singular presence in the panels of two scenes taken from the tales of Aesop (crane and wolf & wolf and lamb). After the last restoration, today it is possible to admire the work in all its original splendor.
The works for the construction of the Cathedral dedicated to San Lorenzo, one of the patron saints of the city, began in 1345 and ended in 1490. Both the side wall and the main façade, however, remained incomplete. The side wall faces the fountain Greater, and a geometric pattern of pink and white marble rhombs decorates only the lower side. The main façade, instead, overlooks Piazza Danti and is characterized by a Baroque portal of 1729. The interior, of late Gothic, has three naves of equal height, divided by mighty pillars. The decorations were completed in the eighteenth century and, among them, stand out The Deposition by Federico Barocci, the sixteenth century polychrome stained glass by Arrigo Fiammingo and the Funeral Monument in honor of the bishop Andrea Baglioni created by Urbano da Cortona. In the cloister of the Cathedral you can visit the Museo Capitolare, home to important works of art.
Along Corso Vannucci, at the last floors of the Palazzo dei Priori, the National Gallery of Umbria has its seat since 1878. The Gallery houses one of the most complete and rich artistic heritage of the whole region. The works cover a period from the 13th to the 19th century and are organized according to an exhaustive chronological itinerary: on the third floor are collected works ranging from the 13th to the 15th century; while on the second floor those from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Unlike the other great Italian and foreign museums, in the National Gallery of Umbria the masterpieces are collected in a small space, then follow each other without stopping and you can also see them with a short visit. You can admire in a single glance the madonnas and polyptychs of Florentine and Sienese painting of the 1400s, alongside the masterpieces of the Renaissance, the unique pieces of Umbrian jewelery. Among all, masterpieces of Duccio di Buoninsegna, Piero della Francesca, Beato Angelico, Pinturicchio and Perugino stand out. In addition, monographic collections dedicated to jewelery, ancient graphics, topography and Umbrian fabrics enrich the collection.
La Rocca Paolina is praised in a famous poem by Giosuè Carducci, an ancient fortress commissioned by Pope Paolo III and realized by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. The intent of the Pope, in which the memory of the Sack of Rome was still alive, was to make the city safe and thus to create an efficient refuge as Castel Sant'Angelo had once been. Its construction necessitated the destruction of more than a hundred houses but also of monasteries and churches, above all owned by the Baglioni family, hated by the Pope. La Rocca was a symbol of papal authority until 1860, when it was demolished following the annexation to the Kingdom of Italy. Of that ancient building are visible a part of the retaining walls and the bastion that incorporates Porta Marzia. The most striking part to visit of what remains of the Rocca Paolina is the underground, in particular the escalators that from the Piazza Partigiani parking area pass through the Rocca under the side portico of the Palazzo del Governo (1870, seat of the Province) and arrive in Piazza Italy. In this truly unique and suggestive setting, a kind of city in the city, there are shops, boutiques, bookshops and cultural events are often organized.
The Oratory was wanted by the Franciscan friars in honor of San Bernardino da Siena, whose preaching had inflamed the Perugians on several occasions. The splendid polychrome facade is the work of Agostino di Duccio who, using different materials, managed to create a true symphony of colors that explodes in a fascinating game of reflections. In a fine embroidery of stones and marbles, Agostino di Duccio had managed to to glorify Bernardino and to narrate his miracles. The work of Agostino is the most famous Renaissance monument in Perugia. A double portal leads the visitor into the interior from the gothic system, whose altar is made up of a paleocristian sarcophagus of the fourth century that collects the remains of the blessed Egidio, companion of St. Francis. Behind the altar, another portal introduces into the Oratory of Sant'Andrea with a coffered ceiling and paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Isuru and his Amma are quite extraordinary. They live a km or so away, alone in a dark brick house after Isuru's Tata passed away, and although Isuru cannot walk or talk or sit up or eat by himself, he sure can smile and laugh, and when you visit him his eyes will follow you everywhere, telling you all sorts of stories until you learn how to follow the thread. His Amma, who does every and any thing for him and has every reason in the world to complain about how hard life is, instead smiles lovingly, letting you know clearly that she makes the choice, every single day, to be happy.
Since meeting Isuru in December, we've been bringing sacks of staples to his Amma every month. Rice, Dahl, Tea, Sugar, Milk Powder, Vegetables and Fruit, Soap, Washing Powder and Coconut Oil are just a few of the offerings that we gladly supply each visit as we work to source some larger items for their house.
I used to think we were the ones bringing nourishment when we pull up in the tuk tuk every few weeks with sacks of food, but yesterday it was clear that sometimes you get fed with food, and sometimes you get fed with smiles.
Sometimes Dharma Teachers come in disguise.

By Robert Browning
"My Last Duchess" is a poem, frequently anthologised as an example of the dramatic monologue. It first appeared in 1842 in Browning's Dramatic Lyrics. The poem is written in 28 rhymed couplets of iambic pentameter. The poem is set during the late Italian Renaissance. The speaker (presumably the Duke of Ferrara) is giving the emissary of the family of his prospective new wife (presumably a third or fourth since Browning could have easily written 'second' but did not do so) a tour of the artworks in his home. He draws a curtain to reveal a painting of a woman, explaining that it is a portrait of his late wife; he invites his guest to sit and look at the painting.
Robert Browning (1812 - 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets.

Where Is Hawkeye's Family Farmhouse Located?
Riddhijit ChattopadhyayDecember 7, 2021
Marvel's Hawkeye series showed us that his family is still situated at the family's farm and they had probably only come to New York to watch Rogers: The Musical. There were various theories surrounding the idea that Clint might have separated from his wife but such is not the case. We are made aware quite early in the series that his wife is aware of the problems due to which he had to now stay back in New York. The show is giving us a lot of insight into the character of Hawkeye and driving us through his perspective. We are still left curious about the location of the Hawkeye family farmhouse where his family lives.
Hawkeye's Family Farmhouse
Hawkeye primarily focuses on events that take place in New York with the introduction of Kate Bishop and Echo. But we are also shown that the major part of the narrative is the chance of Clint returning home after handling everything back in New York. We get to see the Christmas preparation taking place in his house when Barton calls his wife. The first time we got to see Barton's farmhouse back in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Hawkeye decides to take the Avengers off the grid.
The movie uses this opportunity to show us Clint's family in Missouri. It is based on an arrangement that Clint had with Nick Fury and SHIELD so that he could keep his family and their location a secret from everyone except Natasha. But later after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Barton seems to have been moved to a new unspecified location as he was being kept on house arrest. The location still resembles the isolated and rural setting of the initial farmhouse and this might mean that this is still in Missouri. There are other locations that might be used in the movie based on the comics like Iowa where the Barton farm is located in the comics.
There is a clear time difference between New York and his home as it was indicated when his son calls him and this does put the major chances of it being in Missouri. This place and his home is one of the only reasons why Clint keeps on fighting as, unlike other heroes, he has been capable of managing his family while saving the world. Let's see if we will get to watch Barton return to his family in time for Christmas.
Hawkeye stars Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton, Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Fra Fee as Kazi, Vera Farmiga as Eleanor Bishop, Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez, Zahn McClarnon as William Lopez, Brian d'Arcy James, and possibly, Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin.

The Turhan Cemal Beriker Boulevard is a major thoroughfare through the Seyhan district of Adana, Turkey. With the Girne (Kyrenia) and Cemal Gürsel Boulevards, the Turhan Cemal Beriker Boulevard forms the D400 state roadway through the city of Adana. Historically, the boulevard is located on the P1 state roadway and E5.

In the past, a large volume of freight traffic from Europe passed along this road en route to the Middle East, especially after the opening of the Bosphorus Bridge on 30 October 1973, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. As the economy of Turkey became capable of producing goods for the Middle East, trucks from Europe stopped using this route. The road is named after Turhan Cemal Beriker, former mayor of Adana.

The Turhan Cemal Beriker Boulevard is maintained by both the General Directorate of Highways of the Republic of Turkey, and the Metropolitan Municipality of Adana.

Podimo Celebrates One Year In Norway
The service offers listeners unique content by developing their own audio concepts and offering a wide selection of podcasts and audiobooks
In August, it will be one year since Podimo launched in Norway. Since the start, the goal has been to offer listeners unique content by developing their own audio concepts and offering a wide selection of podcasts and audiobooks in various genres and formats.
Increasing interest in sound
Podcasts have become very popular in recent years, and according to a survey conducted by Kantar (Norway's largest market analysis agency) in 2022, 65% of the age group 18-40 reports that they listen to podcasts daily.
"It's exciting that podcasts have become such a big part of people's everyday lives. The audio format is growing rapidly and is now up and competing for the time we spend in front of the TV and mobile screen. Podimo wants to be at the top of the industry and professionalize the service with content of the same high quality," says Fride von Porat, Norwegian manager of Podimo.
In the start-up phase in 2021, there was some tension related to the launch and how Norwegians would respond to paying for podcasts. Iselin Guttormsen, with the podcast G-punktet, experienced some criticism regarding the new payment solution. "Podimo and I had a bit of a rough start together because Norway was probably not quite ready for podcasts behind a paywall, and G-Punktet was one of the first (and largest) podcasts to go behind a paywall. Together we experienced some negative feedback from the listeners, but Podimo stood firmly with me and Eccentric, and I am grateful for that."
Furthermore, Guttormsen says that she never felt limitations on her creativity and that she could continue to do the podcast in her own way, which has been very important to her. "That I can continue to make the podcast with the team and that Podimo is there as support, means that I can focus on the things I'm passionate about," added Guttormsen.
The fact that listeners would have to pay for a previously free service, Von Porat knew, would create reactions at first. "It takes time to change behaviour, so it's incredibly fun to see that people are more willing to pay for good audio content now, in the same way as with other subscription solutions. On average, a Podimo subscriber listens for 4 hours each week. Consumption is expected to increase as the content portfolio expands."
Today, listeners can have the pleasure of listening to several well-known profiles on Podimo, such as Jannecke Weeden and Henrik Thodesen, Tone Damli, Iselin Guttormsen and Solveig Kloppen. The company has also entered several exciting partnerships with both Aschehoug and Egmont People. In addition to having produced his own audio dramas with, among others, Jo Nesbø.
Podimo's first year has been characterized by growth and innovation. They launched over 50 podcasts and have gone from 1 to 11 employees. "This year, the goal is for the exclusive audio portfolio to quadruple. This is only the beginning," says von Porat.
The sound format is incredibly exciting to explore, and this is only the beginning. Exclusive collaborations, channel synergies, and more concepts at the intersection of audiobook and podcast are some of the trends Porat believes we will see more of in the future. In addition to podcasts, the selection and focus is also large on audio books and other audio formats.
From 0 to over 50 podcasts
Podimo has launched one new podcast a week since launch, and in a short time has created a solid offer for the Norwegian listener.
We have taken chances and experimented with completely new genres - everything from audio drama to sketch podcasts. As the only player on the Norwegian market, we have also launched adaptations and translations, such as Disney's The Dropout.

Adelaide, 16 April 2015 – A local developer has acquired a prominent commercial property in Norwood for $2.3 million.
Located at 41-43 Kensington Road, the 1,204 sqm site is currently leased to Flex Physiotherapy and Murch Stationers with a net income of approximately $140,000.
CBRE's William Brown negotiated the off market sale on behalf of Vendor Disinash Pty Ltd. The sale represented a yield of 6.01%.
Mr Brown said the buyer intended to utilise the existing building as commercial/medical accommodation and develop the rear of the property for medium density residential.
"The sale highlights the continued demand for commercial land holdings within the inner eastern suburbs of Adelaide, with limited opportunities resulting in stronger yields being achieved," Mr Brown said.

Q: AFNetworking cancel post request i know, this question ask before. But not working for me this scenario. i am working on AFNetworking for transfer layer. My code below.
AFHTTPRequestOperation *post;
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager;

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager * manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    NSMutableDictionary *paramDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] ;

    delegate = (id<ConnectionUtilDelegate>) delegateObject;

    for (Parameter *param in parameterArray)
    {
        [paramDict setObject:param.value forKey:param.name];
    }
    NSDictionary *params = paramDict;
    manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
    manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:@"text/html"];
    [manager.operationQueue cancelAllOperations];
    post = [manager POST:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",url] parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
        [delegate requestCompleted:responseObject];
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        [delegate requestFailed:error];
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
    }];

this is my post request. it's work like charm. But sometimes some request could be late. For instance, i send 2 different post request this name P1(Post 1) and P2(Post 2). if these request response return as a R1(Response 1) and than R2( response 2) is ok for me. But if this request response return as a R2(Response 2) and than R1(Response 1) its a cause for my app. So i want to cancel old request when i send  new request. and
[post cancel];
Error:
[AFHTTPRequestOperation cancel]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x1723cbf0
not working for me. Do you have any suggestion?

A: As I see in your code, you create a new AFHTTPRequestOperationManagerinstance for each request and then perform cancelAllOperations over the operationQueue of newly created AFHTTPRequestOperationManager. I suggest you creating a sharedManager of type AFHTTPRequestOperationManager and use this singleton object for all your requests:
+ (instancetype)sharedManager {
    static AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *instance;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        instance = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    });
    return instance;
}

Then, you can cancel all requests before performing a new request using:
+ (void)cancelAllRequests {
    [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager sharedManager].operationQueue cancelAllOperations];
}

When you call above method, all requests will fail and failureblock will be called. So you need to check if operation is cancelled in failure block. And here comes the final code:
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager sharedManager];
NSMutableDictionary *paramDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] ;

delegate = (id<ConnectionUtilDelegate>) delegateObject;

for (Parameter *param in parameterArray)
{
    [paramDict setObject:param.value forKey:param.name];
}
NSDictionary *params = paramDict;

manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:@"text/html"];

AFHTTPRequestOperation *post = [manager POST:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",url] parameters:params

success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        [delegate requestCompleted:responseObject];

}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    if (!operation.cancelled) {
        [delegate requestFailed:error];
    }
}];

[post start];

Enabling Monetization of APIs - API Manager 2.0.0 - WSO2 Documentation for your Wiki!
WSO2 API Manager allows you to manage, govern and monetize APIs. You can specify throttling tiers and list the APIs that are available in the Gateway using the API Store. Subscribers who subscribe to the listed APIs and invoke them are billed based on the throttling tiers. To define a billing plan you need to define a new throttling tier in WSO2 API Manager.
To activate the subscription using throttling tiers, you need to use the WSO2 API Manager Subscription workflow. In the default workflow, subscriptions are automatically active. But when integrating with the billing engine, subscriptions are active if and only if the billing engine accepts the user. This behavior can be achieved by extending the default subscription workflow. When a subscriber tries to subscribe to an API after the subscription workflow is configured, they will be redirected to the billing engine for authentication with the API manager workflow details. Then the billing engine accepts the user or signs them up as a new user to the system. After the user enrollment is done by the billing engine it will redirect them back to the WSO2 API manager and activate the subscription.
To configure the default subscription workflow, follow the instructions given in Implementing Workflow Extensions.
A developer can subscribe to an API, invoke it and get invoiced for it but avoid the bill payment. To stop this from happening there needs to be a mechanism that address this issue. With WSO2 API Manager subscriptions can be enabled and disabled at the publisher's will. If the user doesn't pay, the publisher can disable the subscription and re-enable it once the payment is made. This can be achieved in two ways.
You have to configure WSO2 API Manager Analytics in order to the billing engine to retrieve data. The API invocation related events are published to WSO2 APIM Analytics, which then persists all the events and makes them available in internal tables. You may also want summarized data sets based on the raw event data to help the billing engine work efficiently.
To configure the default subscription workflow, start a new maven project and create a new class named SubscriptionBillingWorkflow. Download the source code from here.
*   Copyright (c) 2016, WSO2 Inc. (http://www.wso2.org) All Rights Reserved.
*   in compliance with the License.
Build the maven project (subs-billing-workflow in the source).
Copy and paste the built jar into the <API-M home>/repository/component/lib folder.
Log in to the WSO2 API Manager web console and browse the resources.
Get the sample billing engine provide for WSO2 API Manager from here.
Build the project and locate the war file.
Deploy the war in the Tomcat container.
Subscription-based Usage Plan : Charges based on the subscription fee and fee per additional request.
You can use this additional cApp to generate additional summary data used to feed the billing engine. The WSO2 DAS REST API was used to retrieve the data.
Define the data source for the billing engine. Since the workflow extension is used, define the billing engine user details data source configuration in the <API-M home>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file as given in the example below.
To enable monetization set the "EnableMonetization" property to true.
To define if the unlimited tier is paid, set the IsUnlimitedTierPaid property to true.
Copy and paste the mysql jar to /repository/component/lib since the extension workflow uses the mysql connector.
Copy and paste the built jar file into the <API-M_HOME>/repository/component/lib folder.

GAZA CITY: Israel has hit the Gaza Strip with air strikes and artillery fire on the seventh day of its offensive and as diplomatic efforts to stop the massacre emphasized.
The three training facilities of Hamas's military wing, the Qassam Brigades, around the coastal territory have been stuck by aircraft early on Monday, which, however, as said by eyewitnesses, caused no casualties.
However, an unspecified number of people have been injured in the northern town of Jabaliya, Deir el-Balah in the southern part of the strip and buildings in Gaza City which have been targeted. There was shelling reported in Beit Lahiya, in the far north of the strip, where Israel had earlier warned inhabitants of an impending attack.
World authorities managed to meet over the spiraling ferocity as the Palestinian death toll from the Israel air strikes hit 172 with another 1,230 people wounded, as said by the emergency services which also revealed that about 17,000 residents have taken shelter in installation of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. With the rising in death toll, most of the victims were civilians, putting their number at more than 130, among them 35 children and 26 women, as claimed by the Gaza-base Palestinian Center for human rights which also revealed that 147 homes have been devastated while hundreds are badly damaged.
On the other hand, no Israelis have been killed so far despite the hundreds of rockets fired by Hamas into the country since the fighting began on July 8, according to an army spokesperson who also said that around 160 had been deflected.
Regardless the increasing calls for ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister said that the military was hitting Hamas "with growing force", warning there was no end in sight.
"We do not know when this operation will end," said he.
Approx 17,000 refugees in #Gaza sheltering in 20 UNRWA schools. Some are displaced to the same classrooms for the 3rd time in 5 years.
Kerry also said that he had negotiated with regional leaders "to help to stop the rocket fire so clam can be restored and civilian casualties prevented".
On the Palestinian side, president Mahmud Abbas said he would ask UN chief Ban Ki-moon to "put the State of Palestine under the UN international protection system" in order to address the violence in Gaza.
