Ford Forever
Whether you prefer his more adventurous and humorous roles like Han Solo and Indiana Jones or his more intellectual action figures such as in the Fugitive (1993) or Frantic (1988), there's no denying Harrison Ford is a Hollywood icon. BY BENJAMIN A. WENDELBOE PHOTOGRAPH: ALAMY
Harrison Ford in one of his iconic roles – Indiana Jones.
Classic film hero
The carpenter with acting in his blood
He grew up in Chicago and came from a mixed background – his father came from a German and Irish Catholic family, his mother came from Russian-Jewish family – both his parents were former actors and so it was not a huge surprise when the 22-year old Ford moved to Los Angeles to pursue the dream and follow in his parents' footsteps. In the City of Angels, he was quickly hired for walk-on parts and bit parts but his fear that he would be typecast in minor roles, caused him to quit and he started to supplement his film ambitions by learning to be a carpenter.
After a small role in American Graffiti (1973), Ford was initially ruled out of a role in George Lucas' new space adventure film about the fatherless Luke Skywalker who gives new hope to the rebels in their right against the evil Emperor. The director would not reuse cast for another film, something his colleague Coppola had a habit of doing.
But he was forced to anyway when he asked Ford, who was now 35, to sit in on the casting and help the actors who were actually being considered for parts to read their lines by reading the lines of Han Solo. Luckily, George Lucas was persuaded by none other than his friend and colleague Steven Spielberg, who was certain that the carpenter was a better choice for the nonchalant and wilful space smuggler than Kurt Russell or Christopher Walken, who were both candidates for the role. Even though the role of Han Solo would come to haunt Harrison Ford, it was perhaps the most important of his career, because the film's surprising success suddenly made him a star and in 1979, he played an American bomber pilot in the romance Hanover Street.
Alternative action hero
In 1981, Spielberg and Lucas collaborated on the adventure film Indiana Jones, who stops the Nazis in their hunt for a divine weapon. Tom Selleck, who was the first choice for the part had to turn it down because he was under contract with the TV series Magnum P.I. Once again, Spielberg insisted that Ford should wear the hat and travel all over the world in the hunt for disappeared treasure. As everyone knows, Star Wars and Indiana Jones became a whole series of films, but Ford did not always share the filmgoing public's enthusiasm for the role.
By the time the Star Wars film 'Return of The Jedi' was being made in 1983, there was discussions about killing off the Han Solo character because Ford was tired of the role. But Ford would have to wait until 2015, when Han Solo was finally killed off in the 2015 sequel 'The Force Awakens'. Despite his misgivings, Harrison Ford made a lot of money from the role, and it is rumoured he received USD 10–20 million, more than all of the other actors on the poster put together.
During the 80s and 90s, he played other notable action heroes. During the period, when the genre was dominated by main characters with big weapons, big muscles or both, Ford stood apart with his more resourceful roles, e.g. as the surgeon on the run from the law in The Fugitive (1993) and the flying president in Air Force One (1997). The period following the turn of the millennium was not his most noteworthy period in terms of acting, but it certainly was personally. In 2002, shortly after his divorce, he met the actress Calista Flockhart, best known for her role as the neurotic Ally McBeal and they quickly became a couple. Together they have an adopted son Liam, and they married in 2010.
Charity on wings
Harrison Ford doesn't just like his career to reach the sky, he also flies planes. He started to take his pilot licence in the 1960s but at the time could not afford to complete his training, and it would take another 30 years before he could make the dream a reality. Today he owns both planes and helicopters. He is on the board of Young Eagles, a charity whose aim is to give children opportunity to experience flight, and he has become an honorary member of Wings of Hope, whose activities include providing free air transport for patients and relatives who are far from any doctor. Ford has been a supporter of a free Tibet for many years and he is said to be a persona non grata in China, which occupies Tibet. In 1995, he pleaded for American support for the Dalai Lama and 12 years later, he narrated the documentary film 'Dalai Lama Renaissance'. He is a confirmed Democrat and has on several occasions become involved in sensitive issues, for example, the control of private gun ownership. He is a man who thinks a lot, and on several occasions he has criticised his own industry for focussing on weapons and explosions rather than on action and good acting.
It does not appear as though Harrison Ford will ever become unfashionable –both directors and the general public still love to see him perform in front of the camera. In 2008, he once again played Indiana Jones, and although the film received a mixed reception, fans all over the world were once again overjoyed to see the icon crack his whip. The release of the new Star Wars film in 2015 and the Blade Runner sequel in 2017, means that all three of his most famous roles have been reprised in less than 10 years, and if all goes to plan, we will see a new adventure with Indiana Jones when Ford and Spielberg hopefully release the fifth film in the series in 2020.

A Memoir Looks At Cancer - Part 2
This is another excerpt from John's memoir. John wrote this in 1992 so realize that things may have changed in how doctors practice "bedside manners" with patients, or - as in the previous excerpt - how corporate America treats employees with cancer. Or maybe after more than two decades, not much has changed. You be the judge. I welcome your comments and observations.
I think that for memoir writers, or any writer, John's work is an example of good storytelling and sharing with readers his life experience in a very human way. He had dug deep and found his voice.
The following passage will appear in my true life novel about love, honor, and risk-taking. I have changed John's original work from first to third person and use his pseudonym Jay Scioli to tell his story.
Doctors and medicine in America today cure nothing. Although an obvious generalization and oversimplification, the fact remains that most medicine merely treats the symptoms and not the disease. Jay felt sure that in centuries to come, man would look back on 20th century doctors the same way that people today laughed and shook their heads over the lack of sterilization and the use of leeches, a few centuries ago. Jay remembered a wonderful scene in the movie, Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home, where Doctor McCoy and Admiral Kirk are in a 20th century San Francisco hospital and overhear two residents conversing on an elevator. The residents are discussing cancer treatments – radiation, chemotherapy, imaging, when McCoy turns and remarks, "What is this, the goddamn Middle Ages? It sounds like the Spanish Inquisition."
Jay learned during the early days of his ordeal that a cancer patient is never promised a cure and sometimes the medicine or treatment seems worse than the disease. That's why he continued to fall back on his training at West Point. Like a plebe suffering through hazing, he had two choices – quit or take it. With cancer it was the same choice, except that quitting meant dying. So you have to take it and fight it. You can fight it with tears or you can fight it with anger. But, you have to fight. To paraphrase Dylan Thomas, "You cannot go gentle into that good night."
He remembered a surgeon by the name of Malone. He wanted to do surgery, the whole thing - a bag, a colostomy, and no guarantee of a cure. Malone was sitting at a desk in a loose gray fitting suit. Probably at least sixty. The office was immaculate. He didn't even have one piece of paper on his desk. Malone could have been a travel agent or an insurance salesman. He barely said hello.
"So I've read your records. What's the hesitation?"
"I was hoping there was another way, rather than the radical surgery," Jay said.
"Look you have colon cancer. Do you want to live?" He continued. "You have no choices. Forget the radiation. Today is Thursday. Check into the hospital on Saturday, I'll operate on you on Monday and you'll be out in three weeks."
Jay had heard it from the first doctor he saw when he got the initial diagnosis. If enough people told you that a white wall was black in color you had to start believing them. Maybe, Jay thought, I'm color blind.
"Yes, a bag with no cure," Jay said. It wasn't that the thought of his death scared him; it was the mere thought of massive surgery that totally frightened him. The thought that someone had to cut into his flesh and remove things was totally abhorrent to him.
"Life is a gamble," Malone said. "There are no promises. I did a very similar operation that I'm proposing for you on another man. You should see him now. Walking up and down the steps, going back to work, even playing a round of golf. He's fine."
Jay started to say something, that he still felt confused, but suddenly Malone stood up and looked at his watch. "It's late and I'm expecting a liver in a minute for a transplant. That's it. Take it or leave it. Ok?"

TBC: Morning Musing 2.5.15
by poligirl
I have 3 articles for your amusement disgust perusal this morning:
First up, apparently some US Generals are not happy with Boehner and Bibi:
Netanyahu's Congress invitation raises eyebrows among some US generals
The uniformed leaders of the U.S. military have had a testy relationship with President Barack Obama since he took office in 2009, with a number of relatively public spats revealing discord over how his administration has approached the use of military force. So it might be assumed that when a politician confronts Obama, portraying his policies on threats overseas as naive, many in the senior uniformed ranks would nod in silent affirmation. But that's not what has happened since House Speaker John Boehner invited Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Obama's Iran policy in Congress. Instead the speech, planned for next month, has rallied senior military figures behind the president, with some warning that there's a limit to what U.S. military officers consider acceptable criticism of the commander in chief.
(snip)
Serving uniformed officers are loath to comment on an inflammatory political question – "You're inviting me to end my career," one senior Pentagon officer told me when asked to comment on Boehner's invitation to Netanyahu, "but, if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not." But a senior Joint Chiefs of Staff officer who regularly briefs the U.S. high command was willing to speak bluntly in exchange for anonymity. "There's always been a lot of support for Israel in the military," the officer said, "but that's significantly eroded over the last few years. This caps it. It's one thing for Americans to criticize their president and another entirely for a foreign leader to do it. Netanyahu doesn't get it. We're not going to side with him against the commander in chief. Not ever."

NO ORIGIN IN THE WILD. MOST LIKELY A HYBRID. LONG LOST TO CULTIVATION.
Type : Ex cult. Frederick Scheer.
Etymology : Named for Frederick Scheer who had furnished the seeds.
Distribution: No wild origin known.
Caulescens, foliis ovalibus acutis in petiolum planum elongatis, floribus racemoso- paniculatis, racemia nutantibus, sepalis linearibus acutia corolla brevioribus altero saepius majore.
Leaves rosulate, oblongo-spathulate, the largest six to seven inches long by more than two inches broad three-quarters of the way up, the point acute, the lower two-thirds spathulately narrowed, both sides glaucous-green.
Leaves of the flowering branch numerous, but much reduced.
Flowers in a trifid raceme with secund drooping branches six to eight inches long, with ten to twelve flowers each.
Bracts half an inch to an inch long, the upper ones imbricated.
Pedicels erecto-patent, the lowest a quarter of an inch long.
Sepals linear, spreading, very unequal, a quarter to three-eighths of an inch long.
Corolla five-eighths to three-fourths of an inch long, red and yellow, decideley pentagonal.
1. Lindley wrote that for the introduction of this plant "the public is indebted to Frederick Scheer, Esq. of Kew, a zealous collector of succulent plants, and whose name it will henceforward bear. It is a native of Mexico, whence seeds were received by that gentleman and presented to the Horticultural Society in September, 1842." It is unknown exactly where from Mr Scheer got the seeds and the plant has never been found in the wild in Mexico. Very likely it was a hybrid. It is also unknown how long it was in cultivation in Europe.
2. When Walther wrote a description of E. scheeri, he made it from a "living plant grown in the Strybing Arboretum, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, originally collected by Thomas MacDougall from the Chontal District, Mexico".
But : Not only was there never an exact locality published for this plant nor was it mentioned at all in Tom MacDougall's fieldnotes; and also Charles Uhl who had examined three specimens from Walther did not think that they were correctly named.
To equate a plant without known origin, received in 1941 in California, with a plant also without known origin, grown in a garden in London in the 1840s, almost a century ago, is negligent.
Whatever plant Walther described - in any case it had nothing to do with Lindley's E. scheeri - and his use of the name E. scheeri is incorrect.
3. When Charles Uhl (Haseltonia 9, 2002) commented on E. scheeri as being most likely a hybrid with the same parents as E. juarezensis he was referring to Walther's plant of unknown origin (the identity of which he doubted) and again not to Lindley's E. scheeri. Therefore his estimation is of no value regarding the true E. scheeri.
4. Pilbeam published a photo by R. Moran, taken in 1949 (Fig. 339, p. 244) and mentioned that it is a match for the original publication - in view of the protologue illustration (see below) this is nonsense.
5. All photos / paintings concerning E. scheeri published in the 20th century do not correspond to the original E. scheeri. They are of no use and are to be ignored.
Protologue illustration of the type plant, from Edwards's Botanical Register 31 (New Ser.8): t.27. 1845.

Q: Ruby Action Mailer: How can I send daily emails? I'm just wondering, in a Ruby on Rails 3 application, if I want to send users an email notification once per day, rather than with every notification, how would I set that up with Action Mailer?
Specifically, would there be a way to run a mailer at, say, 6:00pm every day?
Thanks!

A: One option is to run a cron job (Linux / Mac servers). This is fairly simple with the Whenever gem which abstracts the actual writing of cron job syntax into a convenient set of ruby methods, which you can programmatically change.
This Railscast goes over it pretty well.

VCN – The information technology system (IT) of the Customs sector must ensure technological requirements, help with import-export management, as well as allow the exchange of customs data with local and international agencies.
The construction of the Customs IT system aims set to deal with the requirements of today as well as future trends of IT.
Over the years, the Customs sector has been a leader in applying IT in State management, recognised and appreciated by the Party, State, Government and business community.
The Customs sector has built an IT system to support most basic operations (customs procedures, tax payment, automatic management of goods, providing online public service and implementation of the National Single Window mechanism) effectively serving the work of direction and administration; reducing customs clearance time for imported and exported goods, means of transport on entry and exit; publicity and transparency of the customs authorities' activities.
However, there are some shortcomings that need to be overcome such as: the current IT system can only basically meet the functions of data collection of enterprises, lacks warning functions, isnot integrated with other business systems, the consistency between systems is inadequate, the application of IT has not been applied to all management areas yet, system redundancy is not high and there are system security issues.
Hence, the General Department of Vietnam Customs has convened more than 100 customs officials at provincial customs departments to determine professional problems (from 8-12 April), to help build IT systems of the Customs sector for meeting the management requirements of the Customs.
Deputy Director General of Vietnam Customs Mai Xuan Thanh said that the spirit of building an IT system in the new period is to build a new and automatic model, ensuring the work of customs management.
To ensure the progress and quality of construction of overall IT system, the Deputy Director General requested thatcustoms officials participating in this work focus to determine the overall professional problems from which to meet all the above requirements.
The restructuring of the IT system of the Customs sector is derived from the actual situation. According to the authorised Director of Customs Control and Supervision Department Au Anh Tuan, local customs officials have to use 21 different types of software. To clear a shipment, customs officials carrying out procedures have to regularly open about 10 types of software. Meanwhile, the current IT system does not cover all the management areas of Customs; legal regulations have changed but the system has not caught up.
Therefore, the IT system in the Customs sector in the future must facilitate customs officials to carry out the procedures, supplement warning signs to serve decision making.
"For example, an item may be categorised into different codes and values, when such a situation exists, the system will make a warning to assist analysts in making unusual signs; or relating to intellectual property issues, the system also gives a warning for noting when checking... It means that the management requirements given to the IT system will support maximally the work of customs officials needd to perform and ensure that the situation is controlled. This IT system is expected to handle all current IT shortcomings as well as provide best management and support tools"- Tuan stressed.
It is expected that the General Department of Vietnam Customs will conduct research to build professional problems under management topics, including 12 core areas of customs management.
They include customs clearance; processing, export production and export processing enterprises; supervision of import and export goods and means of transport on entry and exit via airway; supervision of import and export goods and means of transport on entry and exit via seaway; supervision of import and export goods and means of transport on entry and exit by land, inland waterway and waterway; supervision of import and export goods and means of transport on entry and exit via railway; supervision of goods taking out and putting into warehouses, yards, locations; postal goods, express delivery; transit and transshipment goods; goods temporarily imported and re-export; other temporary import and re-export goods, customs procedures, inspection and supervision for imported and exported petrol and oil, temporary import and re-export, transshipment; petrol and oil supply to export processing enterprises, aircraft, ships; petrol stored at bonded warehouses, import and export petrol at floating buoys).
VCN - According to the newly promulgated administrative reform plan by the General Department of Customs in 2019, the Customs sector continues to affirm its position and role in advising and assisting the Ministry of Finance to carry out the inspection and supervision of goods and means of transport; prevents and combats smuggling and illegal cross-border goods transportation; implement tax laws on import and export goods and statistics of import and export goods.
VCN - Van Don International Airport will execute the goal of receiving 16 million visitors. In particular, welcoming 7 million international visitors by 2020 and 30 million visitors by 2030, including 15 million international visitors.

For a long time the BR461 series was offered with activated all-wheel drive and a little reduced equipment, and the BR463 series with luxury equipment and permanent all-wheel drive. The new models bring new vitality to this class.
Today's Class G is equipped with ABS, ESP, airbags and engines that are clearly more powerful than in the past, available with petrol and diesel engines, which can reach up to 476 hp with an AGM tuning. Mercedes also offers engines with more usual performances between 71 and 150 HP.
The,Mercedes-Benz G class, is equipped as standard with an automatic climate control and electrically adjustable seats. Despite the new technical achievements, the base of the G-Class remains the same. A quadrangular frame with side members and crossbars ensures extraordinary resistance to bending and twisting and is therefore a guarantee of stability.


I have about four wp sites, all using your awesome template.
I just added a New wp install ( to temp folder ) and your template and the slider is not showing at all?
I have reviewed my other sites, just to assure all settings are the same.
Why would it just not appear, It is not disabled?
It would help if you post the url so people can take a look.
Sorry, Its in a folder until I purchase the New domain.
However, the other sites the slider works fine?
your template and the slider is not showing at all?
This is confusing. Are you seeing any of the Graphene theme? Or just not the slider?
Theme is there , total admin options for template as well, Just like others.
Just the slider is not showing???
Try resetting the theme's options. In the Graphene Options page, on the right hand side there's an "Options Presets" panel. Select " Reset to default settings" and click "Apply options preset".
Has the template been tested with New wp version?
Just installed another template with slider, also did not show….
Possible issue with the New wp version I installed yesterday?
Last effort, Deleted the wp script and reinstalling new, then template once again.
Anyone know where in header.php or somewhere to make my header wider to match the template without creating child theme?

U-571 – HD-DVD Review
Posted on May 19, 2018 by Brendan Surpless
ARCHIVE: Original Post Date – June 9th, 2006
Director Jonathan Mostow is an interesting director to say the least. He directed Kurt Russell is the great Breakdown where a man must fight to save his wife. He director Arnold Schwarzenegger in the third Terminator film where a machine must fight another machine to help save the human race; but before he made Terminator 3, he directed Matthew McConaughey and Bill Paxton in a film where men must fight against their wits to save themselves. Two of the three films are great and are a joy to watch, while one is enjoyable to watch, but that is about it.
In U-571, Lt. Tyler (Matthew McConaughey) stars as a young man who wants nothing better than to jump into the command line. His commander, Lt. Commander Dahlgren (Bill Paxton) doesn't see this though. Tyler isn't experienced enough and isn't ready to sacrifice the lives of his men for the lives of others or, more importantly, the safety of the mission at hand. This creates some heat between the two, but all that is quickly put aside when they're called back to the boat. We soon learn that a German U-boat has become disabled in the middle of the Atlantic. On board this U-boat is a secret Enigma machine, which can be used to cipher messages. This exact Enigma machine was used by the Nazi's to control all of their shipping lanes.
Tyler and his men must disguise their U-boat as a Nazi vessel so they can get to the sub before the Germans do. Oh, but the fun continues for them. They must also impersonate Germans, capture the sub with a boarding party, grab this Enigma device and then successful sink the boat so that no one will suspect anything happened. The basic plot to the film was an interesting plot, but the idea of a man like Tyler, in less than a week I might add, training all his men so they can fight, seems rather odd and unlikely. He obviously informs his men that he'll train them, but we never see one training scene. I guess we're to assume that the men were all successfully trained with absolutely zero problems.
As a war film, U-571 is enjoyable, but is completely dumb and cheesy; so cheesy that if you don't shut off your brain before the film begins, you may actually come out with a headache. While I did enjoy Mostow's T3, U-571 is not as enjoyable mostly because Mostow and his crew relied on numerous action scenes, which is good if the prime audience just wants to demo this disc, instead of a few more plausible scenes that would help the story and the characters more.
I remember reading that Mostow and his crew purposely decided to abandon any type of plausibility that films like The Hunt for Red October and Das Boot had in exchange for a film that action diehards would love. While I did enjoy action films as much as the next person, I found the film to be enjoyable on a certain level. The action scenes are too numerous, but the part that I enjoyed the most relied on the acting skills of McConaughey and Paxton. Both displayed the necessary hatred toward each other when Tyler wanted to step up but Dahlgren wouldn't let him. But when the time came to act, both men displayed the correct friendship toward each other. The acting is certaintly not awarding winning material, but it was one of the few parts of the film, with a few action scenes, that saved the film from being a complete and utter disaster.
U-571 is a completely dumb film. But it's a dumb film that you watch when you want to demo off your equipment or just simply would like to watch a stupid film after a long day. If you want a more serious submarine film, I shouldn't have to list any examples, as they are easy to figure out. Mostow, if his goal was to make a dumb action film, succeeded as U-571 is so dumb and cheesy that it works for the most part. It's not necessarily a film that I would go around praising and cheering for, but would recommend for those who like stupid action films with big explosions and rocking sound.
For Universal, U-571 has always seemed to be the film they've relied on to demo a new format. As one of the first discs to arrive on DVD, D-VHS and now HD-DVD, it's completely understandable why Universal relies on U-571 at the level they do. The film looks absolutely terrific. The standard 2:35:1 Widescreen Transfer is one of the best-looking transfers to hit HD-DVD thus far. Colors are as defined as they could be considering the subject matter and the constant dark scenery. The setting of the film, mostly on the ocean, is brought out in superb style. The water looks amazingly real and is so shiny, I stopped for a minute and could almost imagine the water in front of me. If and when Blu-Ray hits the market, and if Universal decides to support Blu-Ray, don't be surprised if U-571 is one of their first titles.
Boom and zoom! What an audio track Universal has provided us with. The standard Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 Track sounds amazing. Since the original DVD and D-VHS releases had a well-rounded audio track, Universal has decided, some how, to up the ante even more. Little effects like the sonar pinging sound great, while bigger effects like the sub moving through the water, sounds equally great. The bass levels, while sometimes a bit too loud, were fine as well. Take some scenes where it sounded like the sub was moving so rapidly and fast, that it sounded like the sub was going to explode. What a feeling! Dialogue, while being clear and simple, was drowned out in some scenes. Now this wasn't a super negative aspect, but it did require me to turn up the volume a lot in some scenes. This resulted in myself constantly adjusting the volume. Still, if this doesn't really bother you, U-571 is certainly a demo-worthy release.
Audio Commentary with Director Jonathan Mostow: After hearing this commentary track, one can easily detect that Mostow has a love for this film. Mostow constantly informs us with every little detail resulting in no real boring moments for the listener. I especially liked how Mostow put so much detail into the film. He informs us that he did this so that the purists would be satisfied enough. If you enjoyed the film, the commentary is definitely worth a listen.
Spotlight on Location: The Making of U-571: This feature goes into the making of the film giving us the standard reasoning for the making of the film. Mostow gives us even more detail into the film here.
Inside the Enigma: This short feature gives us some background into the Enigma machine.
U.S. Naval Archives: Capturing the U-505: This feature gives us an extremely brief look into the capture of the U-505.
Creating and Constructing U-571: This feature gives us some information of the re-construction of the submarine used in the film.
A Submariner's WWII Experience: This feature give us a bit of historical information into the events that took place.
Britain Captures the U-110: Similar to the above feature, we get some information on he historical aspects of the film. I enjoyed these two features, while kind of short, the most because I always love when a film tries to connect itself to actual history.
U-571 is definitely not as good as some recent submarine films, but the acting in the film, along with a few action scenes, help make the film better than it probably is. The video and audio for the HD-DVD release is downright phenomenal and is demo-worthy. Unfortunately, we have no new features, which is a huge shame. If you're a audiophile or videophile, I recommend picking up U-571 as the video and audio are great. If you're not a audiophile or videophile, I recommend giving this film a rental.

2018 has been a very busy year so far for Delta 7!
The band started the year planning for The Circus of Sound event which happened at the Birley Centre in Eastbourne on 22nd February. The event was compered by BBC Radio Sussex DJ Danny Pike, and raised funds for Delta 7 in memory of musician Tom Salway (who worked with the band and died in 2017).
Delta 7 performed alongside a variety of other musicians and the event was an emotional and highly enjoyable way to pay tribute to Tom.
In March, the band were thrilled to be invited to travel to Oxford and perform as the opening act at the Oxford Human Rights Festival, the theme of which was Identity.
Back in Sussex, Delta 7 had a fantastic time leading a songwriting workshop at the FestivALL event at Chichester Festival Theatre and then performing alongside StopGAP Dance Company, Theatre Inc and Chichester Youth Theatre at the finale of FestivALL in the Minerva Theatre.
In May, Delta 7 performed to an 80s themed audience at Millie's Disco in Eastbourne and then returned for the third year in a row to perform at the Core Fest festival which this year was in glorious sunshine.
In between all these events, the band have been writing new songs and before they take a short summer break, they are recording a new album which they will be launching in the Autumn and they have been filming a short documentary film as a follow-up to the award-winning We Rise.
For more news updates from the band follow them on Facebook and Instagram because it looks like 2018 and beyond will continue to be busy and exciting for Delta 7.

Q: VM provioning using SharePoint How to automate the creation of VM using sharepoint 2010?
This is the scenario, I already have a VM request eform in sharepoint. How to take in the input and create the VM using sharepoint. I know I have to link with the VMX file.
Thanks.

A: You really could have put a bit more effort into this question to be honest, in the future can you look at other questions and perhaps understand that we generally need more information that you've provided?
Anyway, what you're probably going to have to do is use some form of VM automation framework such as VMWare's Orchestrator (part of vCenter) and feed your SP form data into an Orchestrator workflow, then get that to do the work and send back confirmation emails with IPs, user IDs and passwords.
None of this is available right 'off the shelf' of course, you'll have to integrate them but this is definitely 'do'able'.

A Prime Minister is not above the law
Written by Fr Michael CampionPosted on September 20, 2020 September 20, 2020
From THE TABLET, 17 September 2020
When trouble is brewing at home, populist leaders sometimes find it useful to pick a fight with a foreign neighbour, to whip up patriotic feeling and distract attention from domestic difficulties. This is one possible account of Boris Johnson's motives for issuing a threat to disregard international law, on the pretext that the European Union side in the current trade negotiations was acting unreasonably and therefore in bad faith. But is he that calculating? It was clear from Monday's House of Commons debate that the government's position was full of holes.
The casus belli of this display of diplomatic belligerence was an alleged observation by an EU negotiator that countries outside the EU could only import food into it if they were on the list of countries whose food safety standards were the same as the EU's or better. Britain certainly fits that criterion now, being still covered by those rules, but has not agreed a set of safety standards for when the rules no longer apply. This has raised suspicions that the UK wants to keep all its options open in trade negotiations with the United States, where standards are definitely lower.
The EU is naturally eager to keep American chlorinated chicken and hormone-fattened beef off the dinner plates of Dublin, not to mention Paris and Berlin. Such goods could enter EU territory, for instance, by being exported across the open border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, having first been ferried across from Great Britain. The EU's desire to stop this would amount to what Johnson called a "blockade". This would, he claimed, be an "extreme" interpretation of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement which he signed earlier this year. So he proposed a new law to override it.
This provoked an outcry from the more scrupulous members of his party, who felt – rightly – that Britain's reputation for upholding international law was being trashed for no good reason. In any event, Johnson's blockade threat looks utterly spurious as the only people able to enforce it would be the British themselves. The EU was never proposing to send warships to intercept blockade-running vessels in the Irish Sea. So the watching world will ask itself – who is really acting in bad faith here?
At least at this stage of the argument, Johnson's tactics seem to have done the trick, as all but a few Tory MPs voted for the new law in principle. Whatever happens next, the damage has been done (and not least to the honour of the Conservative Party itself). A deliberate intention to break international law has been declared; Britain can no longer criticise the Chinese, say, for breaking its treaty with regard to Hong Kong, nor indeed the Israeli government for the unlawful occupation of the West Bank. The best hope must be that the EU negotiating team will act as the adults in this dysfunctional relationship, and refuse to retaliate. A compromise on food safety standards can either be negotiated now or will emerge from the arbitration process which the treaty allows for. And so when the dust has settled, what will be left is a Britain that has recklessly thrown away its reputation for integrity – because of a prime minister who believes he is above the law.

Self-professed Harry Potter addict and math genius River Jacobsen can count on one hand the people who matter in her life. Really, it's just Dean, the boy who loves her despite her odd habit of counting everything around her when she needs to quiet her mind. When Dean promised her forever she never imagined it would be a lie.
After Marine hacker Ian Maclean is mistakenly declared dead by the US government, he's happy to correct them the moment he escapes captivity. He wants nothing more than to get home to the wife he left behind. Discovering she's been cheating on him since the moment he deployed wasn't in the plan. Devastated, he walks away from everything, even his name.
With the futures they were counting on destroyed, Ian and River find themselves starting over. Ian reminds River of things she'd much rather forget, but pushing him away is harder than she expected. Ian wants a second chance at happily ever after, but the more he gets to know River, the more he worries she isn't trying to figure out how to live again, but how to die.

America's Top Secret Intel Agency Trolls Tucker Carlson

The National Security Agency (NSA) is keeping it blunt with Fox New host Tucker Carlson, who's been accusing the agency of spying on him in a conspiracy to get him kicked off the air.
In a highly unusual move, the NSA on Tuesday night released a public statement directly telling Carlson by name that "this allegation is untrue."
"Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air," the agency said. "NSA has a foreign intelligence mission. We target foreign powers to generate insights on foreign activities that could harm the United States. With limited exceptions (e.g. an emergency), NSA may not target a US citizen without a court order that explicitly authorizes the targeting."
Carlson doubled down on his accusation shortly afterward on his program, saying the NSA's statement "an entire paragraph of lies written purely for the benefit of the intel community's lackeys at CNN and MSNBC."
"We made a very straightforward claim: NSA has read my private emails without my permission," the Fox News host said. "Tonight's statement from the NSA does not deny that and instead it comes with this non sequitur: Tucker Carlson has never been an intel target."
But as CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter points out, Carlson's own network hasn't backed his claims, which the Fox News host says came from a "whistleblower" at the NSA.

Who Made the Most Outlandish Comment During Last Night's Republican Debate?
| Broward News |
Matthew Hendley | September 13, 2011 | 8:30am
Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Last night was the CNN/Tea Party Express Republican debate, which we live-blogged from Tampa right here on the Pulp.
We knew we were in for some fun as soon as we saw the plane flying above the Florida State Fairgrounds before the debate with a banner reading, "Where's the real birth certificate?"
It was expected to be a battle between Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney -- which it was -- but each of the candidates got plenty of time to put in his or her two cents.
Thankfully, several of those comments were a bit loony, so we'll let you select which one you believe is the most outlandish.
The Five Most "Florida" Things About Last Night's Democratic Debate
Here are your selections:
Speaking on Rick Perry's executive order in Texas for HPV vaccines:
"I'm a mom. And I'm a mom of three children. And to have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat-out wrong."
After Bachmann accused him of taking money from the maker of the aforementioned vaccines:
"Yes, sir. The company was Merck, and it was a $5,000 contribution that I had received from them. I raise about $30 million. And if you're saying that I can be bought for $5,000, I'm offended."
Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul whether society should let a man die because he chose not to buy health insurance. Paul said no, but a few members of the audience yelled out:
"Yeah!"
Jon Hunstman
This is the only context we have for this one:
"You've got Gov. Romney, who called it a fraud in his book No Apology. I don't know if that was written by Kurt Cobain or not."
Her analysis of the debate:
It was "more worship at the altar of the Tea Party."
Now we want to know, who had the most outlandish statement during last night's debate?

Do you like this new campaign? Why or why not?
Do these ads appeal only to iPhone lovers, or would they appeal as well to individuals who do not have an iPhone? Explain.
What are your thoughts about the new tagline? Do you like it? Why or why not?

The sizzling South star Kkaatyayani Sharma was always determined of reaching to the peak in the glamorous B-Town. Marching towards her goal, the girl with the voluptuous curves made her acting debut with Telugu movie.
Adamant to her dreams of being a Bollywood star, Kkaatyayani got into acting and lured eyeballs for her appealing looks. Her acting in the South films never went unnoticed as she bagged ad commercials for top brands like ICICI.
Kkaatyayani Sharma wants to get into the shoes of beautiful Bollywood actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Mahie Gill.
When asked about her male ideal, the Tinsel Town's King Shahrukh Khan and Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan were the names reiterated by her.
Kkaatyayani's roles in South films were gluey and hence she attracted millions. She gives adequate time in polishing her acting skills as she wants to be among one of the most popular Bollywood stars through her acting talent rather by her flaunting her size zero figure.


Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers notes that shares of Apple (AAPL) were under pressure following the U.S. International Trade Commission issuing a final initial determination related to Qualcomm's (QCOM) patent claims against Apple. This is related to Apple's use of Intel (INTC) modems in some iPhone models, replacing Qualcomm, he notes. The analyst continues to view Qualcomm's actions against Apple as further posturing for leverage as it relates to the companies' separate license royalty dispute. Rakers would expect Apple to appeal the ruling. He reiterates a Market Perform rating on Apple's shares.
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee initiated Qualcomm (QCOM) with a Neutral rating and $54 price target. Target $54. In a research note to investors, Chatterjee cited "limited" visibility on the outcome of litigation with Apple (AAPL), and says risk is weighted to the downside on the most likely outcomes. The FTC litigation is his main focus given the wide ramifications to Qualcomm's licensing patents, the analyst adds. Additionally, the analyst cites growth opportunities for the QCT segment on the back of an expanding total addressable market, cost-reduction initiatives driving earnings growth, and the maturation of the handset market for the Neutral rating.
As previously reported, KeyBanc analyst Weston Twigg upgraded Qorvo (QRVO) to Overweight from Sector Weight, with an with an $85 price target given increasing confidence from his Asia trip indicating market share gains in the next-generation Apple (AAPL) iPhone in the mid-high band PAD. Further, the analyst believes the company is significantly better positioned to benefit from the 5G upgrade cycle given the architectural shift to massive MIMO and its ascending position with its GaN IP and assets, and sees stabilizing iPhone demand and improving China smartphone demand related to Huawei pull-ins. Additionally, Twigg sees favorable risk/reward from a stock perspective, as there is a significant amount of skepticism in Qorvo's ability to regain share.
UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri kept his Buy rating and $215 price target on Apple (AAPL), saying that while his "field work" suggests that the company may not be able to ship a 5G iPhone in 2020 because Intel (INTC) may not be "ready with a single chip backward compatible 5G modem", he sees iPhones as being "already at replacement". The analyst adds that Intel should or will discontinue or sell its modem operations, and that the buyer could be Apple.
KeyBanc analyst Weston Twigg raised his price target for Broadcom (AVGO) to $335 from $310 given stabilizing Apple (AAPL) iPhone demand. While losing share to Qorvo (QRVO) in the next-generation iPhone represents a slight negative for Broadcom, the analyst sees minimal risk to forward estimates, as he believes this will be more than offset by content gains associated with the iPhone adoption of 802.11ax, easy year over year unit iPhone compares, and RF FE TAM expansion. Twigg reiterates an Overweight rating on the shares.
MKM Partners analyst Ruben Roy kept his Buy rating and $58 price target on Intel after the company's "innovation day" presentations by executives and industry partners "highlighted the key trends driving data growth and the opportunities ahead in cloud computing applications and emerging 5G networks." The analyst cites the event's key takeaways being Intel's "enhanced data-centric product portfolio, the launch of 2nd-generation Xeon Scalable CPUs with integrated learning acceleration, new network optimized products including platform solutions for 5G and cloud applications, and updated Optane persistent memory for data center applications. Roy contends that Intel's diversification toward data-centric businesses reflect its confidence of being able to participate in a $300B data-centric total addressable market.
Coming away from Intel's (INTC) "well attended" Data Centric Day where the company announced seven new products, Stifel analyst Kevin Cassidy said he views the highlight of the event as the "impressive list" of customer testimonials that came from companies including AWS (AMZN), Google (GOOGL), Microsoft Azure (MSFT) and SAP (SAP). He sees Intel's developing strategy to transform from a PC centric company to a data centric one as addressing the indirect competitive threats from GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and Network Processors, but Cassidy said he is not convinced the market is looking for an "all-Intel" solution. He keeps a Hold rating and $50 price target on Intel shares.
