Roller Rink Fun since 1983!
There seems to have been a problem while sending your request.
has been sent to us.
Laverton Skate Centre is one of Melbourne's original roller skating rinks in operation since 1983.
Our rink is located within the greater Point Cook area in Melbourne's south west, a mere 20 minutes drive from Melbourne's CBD, just off the Point Cook Rd freeway exit.
General skate sessions feature a broad selection of classic and current hits, along with niche special event nights for discerning musical tastes. We feature participation games which are fun for the kids and bring back skating memories for the adults!
Our Australian-first special event nights such as 'Roll Bounce' (Rhythm and Jam Skating to the sounds of authentic disco & funk) and 'Space Skate' (Late night adult only skate sessions for advanced skaters) are the first of truly unique offerings to Australia's skating community, seeing skaters travel across the country to join us right here at Laverton.
We have proudly been part of special events and large scale fundraisers (such as The Royal Children's Hospital's "Good Friday Appeal") each year.
We first opened on 7th July 1983 as "West End Roller Disco" featuring a vibrant roller disco atmosphere which continues to improve to this day. In 2013 we designed and replaced our sound system to feature Italian made speaker components and audiophile grade audio processing. The end result is a high fidelity skating experience that is unmatched in Australia and constantly being improved.


Edward Snowden made a decision that changed the world. By leaking top secret government documents to the press, he revealed that US surveillance of private and public citizins goes far beyond what most of us had previously imagined. Because of those leaks, people all around the world are asking important questions about the balance between privacy and security in a free society. In a chilling statement to the BBC, Snowden claimed that he'd accomplished his mission by raising those questions. What do you think?

Q: Perl - Find differences in values inside string on many hashes which has ID in key name I have a lot config files with parameters for external program. My script will test all of these configs print to STDOUT and CSV. But to get this script interface more readable I would print name of file and changed parameters for each files.
Here are examples. My hash of hashes looks like this:
$hoh{string 1}{conf} = 'SMA_long = 712 SMA_short = 38 decay = 0.0076 learning_rate = 0.27 min_predictions = 20 momentum = 0.09 price_buffer_len = 88 threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 threshold_buy_bull = 1.9 threshold_sell_bear = -0.6 threshold_sell_bull = -0.6';
$hoh{string 5}{conf} = 'SMA_long = 712 SMA_short = 38 decay = 0.0076 learning_rate = 0.27 min_predictions = 20 momentum = 0.09 price_buffer_len = 88 threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 threshold_buy_bull = 2.1 threshold_sell_bear = -0.6 threshold_sell_bull = -0.6';
$hoh{string 8}{conf} = 'SMA_long = 712 SMA_short = 38 decay = 0.0076 learning_rate = 0.27 min_predictions = 20 momentum = 0.09 price_buffer_len = 88 threshold_buy_bear = 2.4 threshold_buy_bull = 2.1 threshold_sell_bear = -0.6 threshold_sell_bull = -0.7';
$hoh{another string 1}{conf} = 'threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 HNA_long = 712  aaaaa = 0.0076 ccccc = 0.27 bbbbbbb = 1.9 dedede = -0.6 threshold = -0.6';
$hoh{another string 2}{conf} = 'threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 HNA_long = 712  aaaaa = 0.0076 ccccc = 0.27 bbbbbbb = 2.1 dedede = -0.5 threshold = -0.6';
$hoh{another string 3}{conf} = 'threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 HNA_long = 712  aaaaa = 0.0076 ccccc = 0.27 bbbbbbb = 2.0 dedede = -0.6 threshold = -0.6';

And I would like to achieve a result such as using the following lines ...
$hoh{string 1}{values} = '2.5 1.9 -0.6';
$hoh{string 5}{values} = '2.5 2.1 -0.6';
$hoh{string 8}{values} = '2.4 2.1 -0.7';
$hoh{another string 1}{values} = '1.9 -0.6';
$hoh{another string 2}{values} = '2.1 -0.5';
$hoh{another string 3}{values} = '2.0 -0.6';

So my script output will be generate STDOUT something like this:
test of string 1 with values 2.5 1.9 -0.6
test of string 5 with values 2.5 2.1 -0.6
test of string 8 with values 2.4 2.1 -0.7
test of another string 1 with values 1.9 -0.6
test of another string 2 with values 2.1 -0.5
test of another string 3 with values  2.0 -0.6

... with the difference that I would like the script to search for values that are changing for me.
Longer expiration:
I would like to store this data in a hash of hashes, and then find values that change at least once from a given 'string' or 'another string' and assign it to the value key in the given hash of hashes. The key is a string and a random number. The script should only compare the hash values, in which the string is identical (as if you cut off all the digits from the keys), ie the value key {string}! = {Another string} and {string 1} = {string 2}. I emphasize that the hash values {config} are very variable. Commonly /(threshold_buy_bull = )\d+/ is not enough.

A: OK, so first of all - I'd say storing your data in substrings is the wrong way to do this. Decompose those into the key-value pairs:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;

my %hoh;

$hoh{"string 1"}{conf} = 'SMA_long = 712 SMA_short = 38 decay = 0.0076 learning_rate = 0.27 min_predictions = 20 momentum = 0.09 price_buffer_len = 88 threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 threshold_buy_bull = 1.9 threshold_sell_bear = -0.6 threshold_sell_bull = -0.6';
$hoh{"string 5"}{conf} = 'SMA_long = 712 SMA_short = 38 decay = 0.0076 learning_rate = 0.27 min_predictions = 20 momentum = 0.09 price_buffer_len = 88 threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 threshold_buy_bull = 2.1 threshold_sell_bear = -0.6 threshold_sell_bull = -0.6';
$hoh{"string 8"}{conf} = 'SMA_long = 712 SMA_short = 38 decay = 0.0076 learning_rate = 0.27 min_predictions = 20 momentum = 0.09 price_buffer_len = 88 threshold_buy_bear = 2.4 threshold_buy_bull = 2.1 threshold_sell_bear = -0.6 threshold_sell_bull = -0.7';
$hoh{"another string 1"}{conf} = 'threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 HNA_long = 712  aaaaa = 0.0076 ccccc = 0.27 bbbbbbb = 1.9 dedede = -0.6 threshold = -0.6';
$hoh{"another string 2"}{conf} = 'threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 HNA_long = 712  aaaaa = 0.0076 ccccc = 0.27 bbbbbbb = 2.1 dedede = -0.5 threshold = -0.6';
$hoh{"another string 3"}{conf} = 'threshold_buy_bear = 2.5 HNA_long = 712  aaaaa = 0.0076 ccccc = 0.27 bbbbbbb = 2.0 dedede = -0.6 threshold = -0.6';

print Dumper \%hoh;

foreach my $conf ( values %hoh ) {
   print $conf -> {conf};
   $conf = { map { /(\w+) = ([\d\.\-]+)/g } $conf -> {conf} };
}

print Dumper \%hoh;

That way you end up with %hoh:
$VAR1 = {
          'another string 2' => {
                                  'threshold' => '-0.6',
                                  'ccccc' => '0.27',
                                  'bbbbbbb' => '2.1',
                                  'dedede' => '-0.5',
                                  'threshold_buy_bear' => '2.5',
                                  'HNA_long' => '712',
                                  'aaaaa' => '0.0076'
                                },

... etc
Now, I can't tell where your "values" are coming from in your second example, but it should hopefully be a lot easier to compare.
You can get the 3 values that I  think you're looking for:
foreach my $key ( keys %hoh ) {
   print $key, " => ", $hoh{$key}{threshold_buy_bear},"\n";
}

Or just do it with a hash slice:
my @values = qw ( threshold_buy_bear threshold_buy_bull threshold_sell_bull );

foreach my $key ( sort keys %hoh ) {
   print $key, " => ", join ( " ", @{$hoh{$key}}{@values} ), "\n";
}

A: If it doesn't need to be one single expression something like
my $temp = '';
while ($hoh{$hashkey}{conf} =~ m/(\S+)\s*=\s*(\S+)/gc) {
  my ($key, $value) = ($1, $2);
  # replace the condition of the if by anything you need;
  # it's just an example on top of the OP's example
  if ($key =~ m/^threshold/) {
    $temp .= ((length($temp) ? ' ' : '') . $value);
  }
}
$hoh{$hashkey}{values} = $temp;

for each key $hashkey might do? Each iteration of the while loop will process one match. The values of the key value pair matched get concatenated in a temporary string which then is assigned to the hash.

Faking Quality Control for Universities
Benjamin Plackett / 24 Feb 2015

A phony quality control agency helps universities it's affiliated with to extract money from students for degrees with little or no value. But it also has a second business on the side.
The second business of the International Accreditation Organization, as it calls itself, is to give the veneer of respectability to independently run institutions that are also "diploma mills," cranking out degrees that won't advance students' careers. The business is global—its "accredited" institutions are listed around the world. (See accompanying story, "A Web of "Diploma Mills" Preys on Arab And Western Students Alike")
A few of the institutions, to be fair, are apparently striving to provide a genuine education, and appear to have been duped into thinking they were getting real international recognition.
Others are diploma mills, and reporters frequently found they had nonexistent physical addresses and no local licensing.
In Amman, Jordan, a reporter found that the address listed by the Royal University for Medical Sciences, which is accredited by the IAO, is not a real address. The institution changed its name to "Medical Private University" after not meeting Jordan's licensing requirements—but the university no longer exists.
At least one genuine Arab university has fallen for the IAO's offer of international recognition.
Al-Quds Open University is an online university with a physical campus, which is recognized by the Palestinian Authority. Last May the university received an accreditation certificate from the IAO. Yousef Sabah, the director of the quality department at the university, said he found the IAO on social media and hoped its recognition would give his institution more credibility. "We wanted to show our commitment to the international standards and to gain the confidence of local, regional and international audiences," he said.

A discount the accreditation organization's officials offered also had some appeal. "They said they had a special offer for Palestinian institutions," Sabah said.
Thousands of miles away, in Honolulu, Hawaii, a reporter took a look at another institution certified by the IAO. The reporter went to the address listed online by "York University," which is not connected to the Canadian university by the same name or to the University of York in the United Kingdom. The institution consists of a modest office the size of a small bedroom in a nondescript office building. A woman there, Richelle Kim, who also runs a photo booth rental company on the island, said the university had "reasonable prices."
The website of York University is more forthcoming than others on IAO's list. York clearly states that it is not accredited by any agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education, which means its students will not be eligible for federal financial aid.
Two universities in India paid $1,000 for IAO approval. The vice chancellor of Dr. K.N. Modi University said IAO contacted the university in 2012. "They have an impressive name, but frankly I don't know what value they add," says Devendra Pathak.
The head of quality assurance at another Indian institution, Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University, Atanu Kumar Pati, said IAO officials offered to accredit that institution in 2013. The university had not yet been approved by the Indian National Assessment and Accreditation Council at the time and welcomed the idea of a dry run, said Pati. After the university officials agreed to the proposal, two men came to inspect the campus for two days. "They had a checklist of 50 points that included everything from infrastructure to checking all of our documents," says Pati.
The ease with which IAO accreditation was awarded is a red flag, says Richard Pokrass, the communications director of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which accredits some U.S. universities as well as the American University of Beirut, the American University of Cairo, and Zayed University.
Pokrass' organization takes about five years to accredit an institution. The cost is far in excess of $1,000, he says, usually falling somewhere between $10,000 and $30,000 or more.
In India, Pathak seemed unaware that the IAO is not a legitimate accreditation organization. "They are based in Houston and are a very large body," he says.
But a reporter who attempted to visit the Houston office once listed by IAO found that the street numbers once claimed as an address by IAO don't go that high.
Middle States, like other full-fledged accreditors, looks at a university's strategic planning, whether it seeks to improve teaching, and whether it offers additional services like counseling and career advice. The accreditors also look at the institution's financial situation. "We don't want to accredit a school that's on such shaky ground that it's likely to shut down and leave students stranded," says Pokrass.
To do that sort of extensive review in two days makes the IAO seem very suspicious to him. "That's about as phony as you can possibly get," he said.

The Final Report on Best Practices: Updates, Gaps, Inconsistencies, and Recommendations
The Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force (Task Force) was established to propose updates to best practices and issue recommendations that address gaps or inconsistencies for managing chronic and acute pain, The Final Report on Best Practices: Updates, Gaps, Inconsistencies and Recommendations. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services oversaw this effort with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Defense.
The Task Force, which was authorized by section 101 of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016, also provided the public with an opportunity to comment on any proposed updates and recommendations and developed a strategy for disseminating information about best practices.
The Task Force consisted of representatives from relevant HHS agencies, the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Non-federal representatives included individuals representing diverse disciplines and views, including experts in areas related to pain management, pain advocacy, addiction, recovery, substance use disorders, mental health, minority health and more. Members also included patients, representatives from veteran service organizations, the addiction treatment community and groups with expertise in overdose reversal, including first responders, medical boards and hospitals.
The charter for the Task Force was approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services on October 24, 2017 and sunset on July 22, 2019.

OHIO VALLEY —The Winter HEAP program is still available to assist customers with their main heating utility and/or furnace repairs as the temperatures drop and people experience colder weather.
The Gallia- Meigs Community Action Agency Emergency HEAP Program started on Nov. 1, 2017 and will continue through March 31. All clients can contact the new automated system for making appointments. The busiest time of day to call is in the mornings, so individuals should wait until the afternoon or later to call. Customers shared it is easier. The Interactive Voice Response System gives customers access seven days a week and 24 hours a day for making their appointment by phoning in. The new number is toll free at 1-866-409-1361. The Gallia-Meigs CAA is hoping that customers find this to be a great tool in helping to schedule an appointment. Customers will have to provide their social security number or client number as well as their gas and electric account number in order to make an appointment. However, please note, an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shut-off. It is advised to wait until the end of the recording to receive a confirmation number because without a confirmation number the appointment has not been made.
Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, are facing the threat of disconnection, have 25 percent or less supply of bulk fuel, or have less than a 10 day supply of wood or coal. The program allows a one time payment per heating season to restore or retain home heating. The potential dollar amount will be up to $175 for regulated utilities, up to $550 for unregulated utilities, up to $450 for wood, coal, or pellets, up to $750 for propane/fuel oil, and up to eight cylinders of propane.
The income guidelines for Regular HEAP and Emergency HEAP are the same. However, Regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12 month period or three month period for the help is determined from the date of application which makes it possible for individuals with decreased income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these types of situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability, or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Child Support must be verified for the last 3 months and up to 5 days from your appointment. A copy of the applicant's most recent gas and electric bill is required. It is also required that individuals provide social security cards for all household members. Individuals will also be asked for proof of landlord including the address and the phone number of the landlord. If grandparents have custody of the children in the home, the custody papers are needed.
The following income levels by household size should be used to determine eligibility. These income guidelines represent the 175 percent calculation and are revised annually. Allowable annual income for a 1 person household is $21,105.00, 2 people is $28,420.00, 3 people is $35,735.00, 4 people is $43,050.00, 5 people is $50,365.00, and 6 people is $57,680.00, 7 people is $64,995.00, 8 people is $72,310.00. Households with more than eight members should add an additional $1,828.00 per member to the yearly income.
Both Emergency HEAP and Regular HEAP applications will be completed at both offices including the Central Office which is located in Gallia County at 8010 N. SR 7 and the Cheshire or the Meigs County Office which is located at 1369 Powell Street in Middleport. Appointments will be made by our IVR System with appointment times ranging from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The first nine walk-ins at the Cheshire office will be seen and the first three walk-ins at our Middleport office will be seen Monday through Friday.
For those interested in making an appointment call 1-866-409-1361.

No Hitting Woes Here; 31-run Madness in Low A West
By Don Wardlow Wednesday, August 4, 2021 0 Permalink 0
Hi friends. Here's how I see baseball on this Wednesday, August 4. Articles like this one used to be a lot easier to write. The story must be told of how the Stockton Ports (Oakland, Low A) beat the Modesto Nuts (Mariners) by a 16—15 final with 3 9th-inning runs. A story like this used to be a lot easier to tell because the facts weren't as hard to find as they have become.
When I found the score on my daily scroll through the minor league scores, the first thing I had to do was pick my jaw up off the floor. A 16—15 final in the regulation 9 innings is almost unheard-of since the steroid era ended. Major league batting is at an alltime low in spite of a recent upkick since umpires started checking pitchers for banned substances. The first thing I found was the box score. It took a couple of hours to find any more details or this story would have been done by now. It was a goofy game all around. One pitching staff struck out 12 men. They were the winners although they gave up 6 home runs. One hitter, 19-year-old Noelvi Marte, the #82-ranked prospect in MLB today) bombed 3 home runs, one being a grand slam and drove 9 runs across. He was on the losing side in spite of his heroics, and those of Spencer Packard and James Parker who also had home runs for Modesto. Marte is the Mariners' 4th-ranking prospect. He had only had one 4-hit game in his short career, that being in 2019 in the Dominican Summer League. With 15 home runs, Marte is tied for second in his league, only 3 behind the Giants' prospect Marco Luciano.
Each team scored a pair in the first, and amazingly they each put up 4 more in the second. The visiting Nuts made it 7-6 in the third only to have Stockton put up 3 more to make it a 9-7 game after just 3 innings. On their mettle, the visiting Mariners Wanabes from Modesto scored 3 times in the top of the 4th for a 10—9 lead. Neither team scored in the last of the 4th or the top of the 5th. Stockton added 2 in the home 5th making it 11-10. Their two were instantly answered by the visitors to make it 12-11 Modesto. The home team didn't score in either the 6th or 7th. Meanwhile Modesto hadn't scored in the 7th. The visiting Nuts fired their final salvo, scoring 3 in the 8th making it 15—11. But like the champion fighter Matthew Franklin of the 1970's, Stockton reached for reserves they didn't know they had. Stockton produced Yaqui Lopez, Franklin's foil in two famous fights. Both times the Stockton native thought he had the championship won … until he didn't. This was Stockton's night. The home team trimmed the lead to 15-13 with 2 in the 8th, then closed the show in the 9th. 31 runs were scored, 30 hits and a dozen walks were given up. A run down in the last of the 9th with two out and a man on, Jose Rivas ended the madness with a home run to left field. Only one of his playmates, first baseman Lawrence Butler had hit a home run for Stockton all night long while Modesto with 6 bombs were living and dying by the long one, playing the 2021 major league game. In spite of the loss, the visitors have a 41—38 record while the home team are 33-46. From the department of good news and bad, the good news was this astonishing game only took 3 hours 18 minutes to play. I've seen games with a 2—1 final score taking 4 hours and needing more pitchers. The bad news is, only 706 people attended the game, although judging by the kind of game it was, every working stiff at every water cooler in Stockton will say he was at the game.

Why am I being asked for $500 to register for an auction?
The $500 is only a credit hold of good faith. It is your way of letting us know that you are serious bidder. You do not pay us $500. It is a hold on your credit account that is released after the auction. Rabin Worldwide does not store any of your credit card information and we use a third party to conduct the transaction.
What's the difference between RabinLive™ and Rabin 24/7™ auctions?
Both types of auctions allow bidders to bid online. However, a Rabin 24/7 auction is all online; there is no live auction taking place. A RabinLive auction is both a live auction and an online auction. Bidding takes place in real time between bidders on the floor at the live auction and bidders online using our bidder's console.
I registered to bid onsite for an auction, can I go home/to my hotel/office to continue bidding?
Yes, you can continue bidding. You will need to register separately as an online bidder. You will be asked for an e-mail address and credit card information during the onsite registration process. Go to rabin.com and click on "Buy" at the top of the screen. Look for the auction and click "Register to Bid". It will walk you through the registration process. Once you successfully complete that process, you will see a "Bid Now" button. Click on the button to get to the bidder's console.
I registered as an online bidder for an auction, can I go to the auction site to bid?
Yes. When you get to the auction site, present your online bidder number and you will be given your onsite bidder number.
I chose a form of payment when I registered for an auction. Now, I want to pay differently. Is this a problem?
Not at all. We ask which form of payment you will be using during the registration process as a guide for us. When you receive your invoice, you will simply tell us which form of payment you wish to use.


CGI will illustrate how the use of blockchain could greatly enhance speed of delivery, time to market and reduce fraud and waste. We will examine the health ecosystem and explore blockchain's ability to provide increased benefits to the various stakeholders and explore the "must-haves" needed before the implementation of a blockchain solution. In the end, you will begin to see how current approaches to health information technology can be enhanced by the introduction of blockchain technology.

Q: Blocking until logmessage with Spotify Docker Java Client Description
Im using the following function to be able to block surefire tests until the docker container is started.
This works almost always but some of the time im getting the exception shown below. Im unsure under what situations next would fail for a LogStream or if there is an issue with how dockerClient.logs gets the log stream.

My questions are:
How are others using the docker client to wait for
  logs?
What would cause the exceptions im seeing?

public void waitForLog(String messageToMatch) throws Exception {
    logger.info("Waiting for toc.log to signal start of service with log message: " + messageToMatch);
    LogStream logs = dockerClient.logs(container.id(), follow(), stdout());
    String log;
    do {
        LogMessage logMessage = logs.next();
        ByteBuffer buffer = logMessage.content();
        byte[] bytes = new byte[buffer.remaining()];
        buffer.get(bytes);
        log = new String(bytes);
    } while (!log.contains(messageToMatch));
}

How to reproduce
Im still not sure how to reproduce since it only happens rarely on my local machine but always on our Jenkins servers.
What do you expect
No exeption thrown, we will read the logs.
What happened instead
Exception is thrown.

Good afternoon folks, just an FYI that the January newsletter goes out next week. If you have anything you would like included (job openings, career moves, apartments, events etc.) please let me know by Monday December 31st.
NOTE: – I am traveling for all of February and most of March so there will be no newsletter during those months.


My eldest son is nearly six.
I know, I can't quite believe it either.
And he asked me the other day when he would be old enough to get a phone. Would his sixth birthday be the right time?
And I know, I definitely didn't believe that came out of his mouth.
So no. On his sixth birthday he will not be unwrapping a smartphone. He will still only be allowed limited access to MY smartphone. And I will continue to try and wrap him up in bubblewrap away from the terror that is technology.
Because the question is, where would I stop?
In fact, maybe the question should be where do I begin?
Technology is rapidly advancing. I mean, how long ago was it that we had bricks for mobile phones and that *sound* when you connected to the internet?
And now, you can watch videos on the internet in your pocket. The cameras have advanced so we live in a world of selfies and instant gratification instead of those disposable cameras that I used to cart everywhere. If we don't know something it takes me about 30 seconds to google it. News spreads like wildfire, good and bad, through all mediums.
Our world is rapidly shrinking as we enable an access all areas pass in the form of smartphones.
And my son wants one.
Then so will my youngest.
And it's up to me to police them, to say no, to explain why.
From home to school. It is everywhere we look. It's normal life, my son expects people to have phones. Is waiting with bated breath for the day when he gets his hands around his very own phone.
A portal to the outside world, and with it all the worries that come from internet access.
Racking up hefty phone bills.
To name but a few worries that have popped into my mind. Ignoring the sensibilities, that he will be contactable when we allow him to start going places on his own. When the extra curricular activities in school begin in earnest. And the fact that I know he is still years away from being allowed a phone.
It still gives me heart palpitations.
I know how easy it is to be addicted to your phone, to aimlessly scrolling through with no real thought. Just a flashing blur of screens.
I know that there is a world out there of people who will be mean for no reason. And that it can be relentless, ongoing, and I imagine that living in your pocket.
The lure of a phone to play games, take silly pictures and, of course, the dreaded YouTube, is great. Even for a nearly six year old. But until I know that we can take precautions for him to be safe (we'll need to familiarise ourselves with the latest smartphone safety for children), that he has a solid head on his shoulders about it all, and he really actually needs a phone to be safe when walking alone from school. I think that he's a good five to six years to wait to get his grubby mitts on one.
Until then, for his technology fix, he can watch the Amazon Kids Fire I'm planning on buying him before our road trip to France, play Mario Kart on his Nintendo Switch with the WiFi switched off and borrow my phone to take random selfies of himself and his brother.
Because right now, not only is HE not ready for the responsibility of a smartphone in his pocket, I'M not ready for the responsibility of him having a smartphone in his pocket.
And right now, I'd rather just sit and watch him enjoy running round outside, free and happy in the knowledge that he's just a happy kid busy playing. I've time enough to worry about a smartphone when he's bigger, right now I just want to worry about his grubby knees.


Since their introduction in the mid eighties, flash storage has revolutionized storage systems by offering a faster aggregated storage medium, delivering huge Input/Output Operations per Second (IOPS) gains. Today, in the era of the cloud, hypervisor based virtualization imparts the ability to host multiple Operating Systems (OS) on a single server without the need to modify the OS or applications to run on the virtual environment. Virtual CPUs allocated to Virtual Machines (VMs) are queued and scheduled to wait for a physical CPU in order to process instructions and data for VMs.
As such, there is an increased IOPS requirement with the demands of applications running on VMs. Reducing the number of VMs per physical machine may just seem as a mere technique to eradicate the symptom rather than the cause itself. As far as virtualization is concerned, Input/output throughput is crucial from a latency perspective. Although overcompensating computing resources to VMs to bypass plausible shortage is considered a poor practice; in the context of storage management it is recommended to put as much flash in the server as practical.
Server-side flash (cache) or storage-side Solid-State Drives (SSDs) can deliver thousands of IOPS. However, the two are not interchangeable. Server side flash has no more latency than other system cache. Also, SSD in the storage array can deliver the data at cache speeds. Individual applications running atop of VM would benefit more from server flash whereas distributed applications such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) clustered file systems will benefit from storage SSD. The only probable scenario where the benefit of flash nullifies would be when the system has to issue a read command to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Owing to the dynamic and varying resource demands of VMs and as long as data is flash resident, decision regarding which type of flash to deploy may leave IT administrators in uncertainty. Making sure the flash solution integrates well with other environments such as backup and disaster recovery alongside production is crucial. On the positive side, the cost of flash storage has been declining and is now in close range with their counterparts, the HDD. This would soon render flash as the preferred storage options, making it cost effective both in terms of data volume as well as IOPS.
It is observed that IT managers find it necessary to deploy both server flash and storage SSD when premium performance is necessary. A hybrid of flash and HDD array uses intelligent tiering to allocate storage based on the performance requirements of applications. Automated Storage Tiering (AST) is a storage software management feature that dynamically moves information between different disk types and RAID levels to meet space, performance, and cost requirements. AST software constantly monitors data access patterns to identify 'hot data' and elevates it to a higher (faster) tier of storage device and replaces them with more relevant data.
A storage-only AST would turn out to be insufficient at the instance of deploying both storage and server flash architecture. If storage AST software is unaware of the server flash, it may misidentify hot data because it is unable to accurately track I/O operations. This might also result in dueling algorithms between the flash systems, leading to inefficient or conflicting data movement. Tiering software applications designed to prioritize IOPS to control data movement across all tiers (including server flash) are available today—notable examples being EMC XtremeCache, NetApp Flash Accel, and IBM FlashCache Storage Accelerator.
Deploying both storage and server flash, over provisioning by about five percent of an array's total capacity in SSD, and opting for an AST software capable of managing I/O from processor to back-end HDD are some best practices for an efficient VM storage. Flash storage supports only a finite number of writes during its lifecycle so designing solutions that adhere to minimal writes could result in a longer running storage set-up. However, thanks to increasing affordability and efficiency of flash systems, the need for tweaking processes for the sake of memory has become the last thing in an IT administrator's checklist.
Enterprises embracing the cloud are bound to be affected by the slow I/O performance of HDDs and the need to incorporate flash at some level is inevitable especially in the case of highly virtualized cloud environments. Mixed use of different flash types may not be entirely supported by vendors, it is therefore important to evaluate storage components from a compatibility perspective.

Writing Excuses 7.45: Microcasting
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2012/11/05/writing-excuses-7-45-microcasting/
1. Q: What percentage of the words you write in rough draft make it into print?
A: 95%. It depends -- most to 2/3s. 80% to 50%. 30 to 40%.
2. Q: Do you do editing by changing words and sentences here and there, or by rewriting whole chapters?
A: It depends. Do structure before wordsmithing.
3. Q: What are the pitfalls in going from novels to shorts or vice versa?
A: From short to novel -- writing too sparsely. From novel to short, trying to put too many characters and too much plot in. Also too many settings and locations. Write what you read.
4. Q: If you are in the middle of writing a novel and realize a major changes needs to be made to the beginning, do you fix it right away or wait until after finishing the first draft? What would you recommend a novice do?
A: No matter what, make a note about the extent of the change. Then, usually, go ahead and finish the draft. But follow the momentum! Do what works for you.
5. Q: Can a self-published novel be picked up by a literary agent or publishing house?
A: Yes, but don't count on it.
Q: Does a history of success help you get a contract?
A: Yes. Go listen to the Larry Correia podcast. http://wetranscripts.livejournal.com/58537.html
6. Q: How do you get over the fear of writing something unoriginal? How do you avoid being derivative?
A: Try writing something deliberately derivative, and see how much you add! Also, check out the managing your influences and originality casts.
Influences http://mbarker.livejournal.com/132173.html
Originality http://wetranscripts.livejournal.com/61096.html
7. Q: Have you ever thought about offering your services to help with plotting, for a fee?
A: No. You don't want to pay what we would charge. Note that a casual conversation at a conference may be had for free. Also, see the upcoming Writing Excuses retreat.
Note that the seven season indexes are available over here
http://www.aist-nara.ac.jp/~mbarker/writingexcuses/index.html
[Brandon] All right. We are out of time for this microcast session, although we will probably do another one in the near future. For now, your writing prompt... Let's see...
[Howard] Brandon is staring around the room, looking for some sort of visual cue.
[Mary] So your writing prompt is to write about a squid who is trying to write a space opera that does not involve squids in space.
[Brandon] [laughter]
[Howard] [whistle]
[Brandon] All right. This has been Writing Excuses.
[Dan] That's one of the biggest problems squids have [inaudible]
[Mary] It is. It is.
[Dan] They're a very ethnocentric species.
[Howard] The second problem is that when he decides to write about octopuses, it all ends up racist, and he's just not allowed to write about them.
[Brandon] All right. We're going to end now. GOODBYE!

his seat at Warmwell, where he died in April 1674.
On 9 Sept. 1645 he married Jane, youngest daughter and coheiress of John Trenchard, esq., of Warmwell, Dorset, receiving with her a fortune of 10,000l. (Hutchins, Hist. of Dorset, 3rd. edit., 1861, i. 430).
Walker describes John Sadler as 'a very insignificant man' (Sufferings of the Clergy, ii. 151), and a clergyman who knew him well in the university told Calamy, 'We accounted him not only a general scholar and an accomplished gentleman, but also a person of great piety … though it must be owned he was not always right in his head, especially towards the latter end of his being master of the college' (Life and Times of Baxter, continuation, i. 116).
'Masquarade du Ciel: presented to the Great Queene of the Little World. A Celestiall Map, representing the late commotions between Saturn and Mercury about the Northern Thule. By J. S.,' London, 1640, 4to; dedicated to the queen; ascribed to Sadler on the authority of Archbishop Sancroft, who wrote the name of the author on a copy of this masque or play in the library of Emmanuel College, Cambridge (Baker, Biogr. Dramatica, ed. Reed and Jones, 1812, i. 623, iii. 28).
'Rights of the Kingdom; or Customs of our ancestors touching the duty, power, election, or succession of our Kings and Parliaments, our true liberty, due allegiance, three estates, their legislative power, originall, judiciall, and executive, with the Militia,' London, 1649, 4to; reprinted London, 1682, 4to.
'Olbia. The new Iland lately discovered. With its Religion and Rites of Worship; Laws, Customs, and Government; Characters and Language; with Education of their Children in their Sciences, Arts, and Manufactures; with other things remarkable. By a Christian Pilgrim,' pt. i. London, 1660, 4to. No second part was published.
'A Prophecy concerning Plague and Fire in the City of London, certified by Cuthbert Bound, minister of Warmwell, Dorset,' Lansdowne MS. 98, art. 24; printed in Hutchins's 'History of Dorset,' 3rd ed., i. 435.
Thomas Sadler (fl. 1670–1700), his second son, was intended for the law, and entered at Lincoln's Inn. He was, however, devoted to art, and received some instructions from Sir Peter Lely in portrait-painting. He painted in oils and also in miniature, and his portraits were commended by his contemporaries. In 1685 he drew the portrait of John Bunyan [q. v.], which was engraved more than once. His son Thomas Sadler the younger became deputy-clerk of the Pells (Hutchins, Hist. of Dorset, i. 431, ed. 1861; Walpole, Anecdotes of Painting; Redgrave, Dict. of Artists).
